No, twenty clippers returned from the book.

This return brought good news, Wang Wenyue had established himself in the Kanto Plain, and had surrounded Edo, and after 30,000 villagers were sent to Yokohama, Wang Wenyue was about to carry out an attack on Edo.

After reading the combat report sent by Wang Wenyue, Zhao Yan was very satisfied. There was basically no suspense about the battle, and judging from Wang Wenyue's battle in the Kwantung region, the combat effectiveness of the army was very weak.

Even if Wang Wenyue is frustrated in the Yueben offensive, with Shandong's strength, he can mobilize tens of thousands of people to join the battlefield at any time, after all, Shandong's personnel have now increased by more than 2 million, and Shandong is no longer short of people in agriculture.

At the same time, more than 70,000 young and strong Japanese slaves were transported back from Yuben this time, and they were free labor, and these demographic dividends could contribute a lot of income to Zhao Yan every day.

"These Japanese slaves stayed in Shandong to replace the production of combat soldiers." Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "First of all, give it to the families of those martyrs for free, one or two Japanese slaves per household. ”

"Childe, the specific management of these widows must be clear, otherwise it will lead to chaos." Zhao Quan said to Zhao Yan, "If a private person abuses the Japanese slaves excessively, it will definitely cause the Japanese slaves to rebel." ”

"This phenomenon really has to be prevented, so be it! Those who were born as samurai, or who were captured by the Tokugawa shogunate, were sent to the mines. And those who were born as peasants were given one free of charge to the families of the martyrs. However, it is centrally managed by the tundi. At the same time, the "Measures for the Management of Japanese Slaves" was formulated, prohibiting the abuse of Japanese slaves, and in terms of centralized management, food and clothing, they could not be starved and cold, and in terms of production and active surnames, Guo Zhiyun's various strategies in Hawaii could be referred to. Zhao Yan said, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was good.

From the beginning, he continued to arrest the Japanese slaves, let these Japanese slaves take the place of the labor position of Xiang Yong, and then Zhao Yan continued to expand the army, so that even if he expanded the army again, the impact on production would not be great.

As for management, the Japanese slaves were to be directly supervised by the government, which was much more professional, which could prevent the Japanese slaves from rioting and at the same time allow the Japanese slaves to exert their maximum productivity.

However, Zhao Yan suddenly thought of a possibility in the future, so he said to Zhao Quan, "Those who are too ugly will also be pulled to mine." ”

Like the United States, so many black slaves were captured in the past, and as a result, there was a situation where whites were mixed with blacks, and with the development of the times, these Japanese slaves will inevitably have a time to be free.

There is nothing about mixed race, the most important thing for a nation is the issue of consciousness, as long as you feel that you are Han, then you are Han.

The problem is that we cannot leave a flaw in the genes of the nation.

Both myself and the Chinese belong to the yellow race, and there is no problem with mixing under this conquest, but those who look ugly should be thrown to the mines to mine!

"In addition, the 'Overseas Labor Administration' was established, and the official name of the Japanese slaves was changed to 'overseas laborers', which was divided into three parts, one engaged in 'agricultural production', one engaged in 'industrial production' and urban cleaning, and some engaged in 'infrastructure construction'. Zhao Yan thought about the planning work of management one by one.

Zhao Quan nodded and immediately went to do so.

Within two days, the 'Overseas Labor Administration' was established, personnel were transferred from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the "Measures for the Administration of Overseas Labor" was formulated under the formulation of the "Overseas Labor Administration". This is a very crude management method, the core of which is that the abuse of 'overseas workers' is not allowed, the basic needs of 'overseas workers' must be met, and there is no provision for wages.

Overseas labourers, the term "slave", is simply used to wrap the word 'slave', and slaves are naturally not paid.

The role of slaves is to earn a demographic dividend. In later generations, China's economy was supported by the demographic dividend of hundreds of millions of migrant workers, which shows the huge energy of the demographic dividend.

At the same time, the Measures for the Administration of Overseas Workers stipulate that private individuals are not allowed to own 'overseas workers', and that overseas workers are under the management of the state, and the output of their labor is owned by the state, excluding their basic needs.

As for the policy of assigning slaves to soldiers, it was changed to auxiliary production of the household property of the serving soldiers under the distribution of the state. The proceeds of production went to the serving soldiers, but the Japanese slaves remained the property of the state, and the state had the right to make changes.

Zhao Yan looked at the map and pondered for a long time.

The world is so big, and his desire is to swallow as much land as he can in his lifetime.

At present, Zhao Yan's sphere of influence is actually only the three prefectures in Shandong, the Liaodong Peninsula, and North Korea, and as for the three prefectures in Shandong, although they have been administratively managed by him, in terms of strength, in addition to increasing in terms of population, there is not much help in terms of money and food.

The land of the Western Three Prefectures was also in the hands of the vassal kings, landlords, merchants, and the Confucian family.

If you talk about his foundation, it is still relatively weak.

At present, Chongzhen has not been defeated, let alone all the privileged classes, and he has not been able to integrate the strength of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent.

The reason why he was able to achieve such achievements was because the Eastern Three Mansions were barren land, and those privileged classes were not strong, so they were swept away by Zhao Yan one by one.

The three eastern provinces were developed entirely on their own.

Before he started to deal with the privileged class, Zhao Yan could only develop virgin land on his own, so the focus of future development was on Liaodong and North Korea.

Agriculture in Liaodong and Korea was developed according to the model of farms, so there must be enough Japanese slaves for farm production.

War must be protracted, unless it is willing to sign a treaty. Therefore, the number of troops in Yuben must be further increased in order to ensure the development of Liaodong and Korea.

In addition to the independent development of new areas, the integration of Daming should also be accelerated.

First of all!

Defeat Chongzhen.

Only by defeating Chongzhen and defeating the absolute authority of the Central Dynasty can Zhao Yan gradually move the knife against the privileged class of the Ming Dynasty, but in this process, chaos must be avoided as much as possible.

If Chongzhen falls, it will inevitably cause chaos, because Zhao Yan's forces cannot be used in the operation to extinguish the unrest in the provinces, so chaos must be avoided.

The only way is to fight a battle, let Chongzhen be honest, and not hinder his battles in Liaodong and Yuben, as well as the migration of the population.

This time, it is imperative to clear the monarch's side.

"There are not too many soldiers and horses for King Qin this time, only artillery and cavalry, and if it is safer, there will be an infantry battalion." Zhao Yan wanted to understand what his purpose was and what his motive was, and he also had a bottom idea of the number of soldiers and horses needed on the Qing Jun's side this time.

On the same day, Zhao Yan took the General Staff with him, directly brought 8,000 cavalry, and the Second Artillery Battalion of the Liaodong Army, quickly boarded the 20 flying clippers that had returned from Yueben, and headed straight for Tianjin.

At the same time, the Liaodong Operational Staff Headquarters was ordered to dispatch the Second Infantry Battalion of the Korean Liaodong Army to land in Tanggu, Tianjin.

With the garrison of third-line troops in North Korea and the blockade of troops and horses on the Yalu River and Liaodong, it was enough to deal with the Qing troops who had rushed into the mountains, and the second infantry battalion of the Liaodong Army was originally to be sent to Kyushu Island, but the plan had to be postponed.

…… At this moment, after receiving Chongzhen's holy decree, the governors of various places immediately launched the seizure of the Jimin Inn and the "Daming Daily", only Shanxi and Nanzhili did not move, but only temporarily restricted the sale of the "Daming Daily", and did not seize it, Lu Xiangsheng and Zhu Dadian naturally knew that this was Zhao Yan's industry.

On the ninth day of August, Shandong posted the "Qingjun Side Notice", which shocked Quanlu. Yan Jizu was so frightened that he sat down directly from the chair, his face was like ashes.

Yan Jizu never imagined that Zhao Yan would make a move on the imperial court so early. Originally, he thought that it would be more than ten years, but by then, he would no longer be the governor of Shandong, and at the same time, he would not offend Zhao Yan or the emperor.

Although his calculations were good, his plans could not keep up with the changes.

The gentry of Shandong were shocked, but they did not dare to act rashly, because Zhao Yan had already controlled the soldiers and horses of the whole Shandong, and could not find any other armed forces in Shandong.

All the guards were controlled by Zhao Yan, and at the same time, Zhao Yan was also training in various parts of Shandong, and all of them had brainwashed military and political personnel.

In terms of administration, those yamen did not have any rights, and they were all overturned by Zhao Yan. Naturally, public opinion also fell to Zhao Yan in Shandong.

"The imperial court actually wants to negotiate peace with Jianlu, and at the same time prohibit the people of various provinces from immigrating to Shandong, isn't this just a chance for Jianlu to breathe? Isn't this the foundation for the thieves to grow? Qilu soldiers threw their heads and spilled blood on the front line, they couldn't imagine that the imperial court would act like this, and destroy the good situation, there must be a villain to bewitch the saint, if the general is not clear about the king's side, the Ming Dynasty is in danger. ”

"The court is mediocre and incompetent, what is the use of such a court, it is better to let the general be the emperor, so that the people of the world are blessed."

Many of the people in the three eastern provinces have such thoughts.

If the general can become the emperor, the future will not change, but if the general falls, their words will cease to exist.

"Yes, it's better to let the general be the emperor."

"The general is on the side of the Qing monarch this time, but he is not going to be the emperor, even if he wants to be the emperor, it is still too early." Some people of insight predicted.

With Shandong's expansion speed, there is no need to beat the emperor to death at once, because Shandong has the strength to be absolutely invincible, and it can be slowly figured out.

In contrast, the public opinion of the Western Three Mansions has a lot less words to ask Zhao Yan to be the emperor, but under the propaganda instructions issued by the Propaganda Department, the local administrative offices began to vigorously publicize, on the one hand, to publicize Zhao Yan's greatness, on the other hand, to publicize the mixed use of the imperial court, and the people still support Zhao Yan Qingjun's side, but not as enthusiastic as the Eastern Three Mansions.

However, some gentry of the imperial court finally criticized Zhao Yan's behavior on the streets and in restaurants, but they were quickly arrested.

In the case of such propaganda and the elimination of noise, the whole territory of Shandong was full of voices condemning the imperial decrees, and vigorously supporting Zhao Yan Qingjun's side to eradicate the villain who bewitched the saint.

…… The wind in the Bohai Sea is high, Zhao Yan just took the soldiers and horses out to sea, and a strong wind blew on the sea, fortunately, the tonnage of the clipper ship was large, and the materials brought this time were not very many, and the ship was not overloaded.

Twenty clippers, propelled by strong winds, moved at breakneck speed.

It only took Zhao Yan a day and night to reach the mouth of Dagu in Tianjin from Longkou, and the defenders of Tianjin did not know about Zhao Yan's Qingjun side at all, and when they saw that it was Shandong soldiers and horses arriving, they did not dare to stop it at all.

In this way, Zhao Yan took two cavalry battalions and an artillery battalion to land at Dagukou smoothly. Then Zhao Yan did not stop, but marched directly towards the Beijing Division.

Along the way, Zhao Yan played the name of Qingjun's side and posted the "Qingjun's Side Notice" in various places.

At this time, it was the end of summer.

The autumn tiger is still relatively vicious, the land of Gyeonggi has not been disturbed by the construction for several years, the vitality of the people has begun to recover, the scene along the way, compared to Zhao Yan last year, has changed a lot, although there are still a lot of land barren everywhere, but it is much better than last year.

Along the way, Zhao Yan's soldiers and horses still had no offense with the people.

Even if Zhao Yan played the banner of Qingjun's side, there were still people on the road to greet him. Since the Shandong army went north to the king last year, it has already made a name for itself in Gyeonggi.

The people of Gyeonggi are full of praise for the soldiers and horses of Shandong, this time Zhao Yan played the name of the Qing monarch, and many of the people who were oppressed by the officials also had a supportive attitude towards Zhao Yan, hoping that he could eradicate the small and small people in the court and restore the Ming officialdom to Qingming.

…… In the capital, a fast horse galloped at a high speed, shouted the number of urgent reports, and rushed all the way into the yamen of the military department.

"Lord Shangshu, it's not good, it's not good."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yang Sichang saw that the comer was so anxious, and couldn't help but ask, now that Liaodong is no longer in the climate, and the thieves have been suppressed by Zhao Yan's soldiers, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Could it be...... Suddenly, an ominous premonition appeared in Yang Sichang's heart.

"Lord Shangshu, General Jianwei, and Zhao Yan, the general soldier of Shandong, suddenly landed in Tianjin by sea, and played the banner of 'Qingjun Side', and is marching to Beijing."

Yang Sichang's brows jumped, what he was most worried about still happened. Yang Sichang sighed and shook his head, that Zhao Yan is really not a good person to mess with.

Chongzhen wanted to ban the Ming Dynasty and the Jimin Inn, and also restricted the people from entering Shandong. The ban on Daming Yue Bao and Jimin Inn may not be nothing, but this prohibition of ordinary people from entering Shandong is a fundamental threat to Zhao Yan's expansion.

If this son is a foolish and loyal person, it will be easy to do, and it will not take long for the court to solve this big trouble, but how much is the world of foolish and loyal people?

Yang Sichang shook his head again and again, then got up and hurriedly walked out of the yamen, climbed on the back of the horse and headed towards the Forbidden City.

At the same time, Jin Yiwei also received the news.

Luo Yang's surname and Yang Sichang entered the palace to report urgently, Chongzhen was eating at this time, and when he heard Jinyiwei's report, the spoon in his hand fell to the ground with a snap.

"He, he...... He dared to ......" Chongzhen was choked on a mouthful of food and coughed, coughing out of breath, and the eunuch on the side was so frightened that he hurriedly beat him on the back.

"Quick...... Please...... Ahem...... Yang Sichang came to meet ...... Ahem......" Chongzhen said with a hard time bending over, choking on that mouthful of food.

It took a long time for Chongzhen to breathe.

It didn't take long for the little eunuch to lead Yang Sichang and hurriedly walked in.

"See Your Majesty." Yang Sichang knelt down and saluted.

"Aiqing, hurry up." Chongzhen pulled Yang Sichang up in a hurry, then slapped the table, and said angrily trembling all over: "Zhao Yan dares to be on the side of Qingjun, he is really angry." ”

"Your Majesty, the policy of prohibiting the people from entering Shandong has touched the root of this son, who has always used Tuntian to expand his strength, and if he wants to Tuntian, he must have enough people." Yang Sichang said.

"How's that to be?" While Chongzhen was angry, he was at a loss and flustered.

"Your Majesty, this time Zhao Yan sent more than 10,000 troops to attack the Beijing Division, and it was in the name of the Qing monarch's side. You will arrest the ministers and ask them for guilt, in the name of prevaricating the king's side. Yang Sichang suddenly fell to his knees.

"Aiqing is my good minister, how can I do this, this matter is not possible." Chongzhen hurriedly helped Yang Sichang up and asked, "What is his name?" ”

"This son criticized the court and the proposal for peace as a traitor, and did not allow the homeless and poor people to enter Shandong, but it was a thief, and it was a matter of the ministers and soldiers." Yang Sichang said.

"How many soldiers and horses did he bring?" Chongzhen asked again.

Yang Sichang thought for a while and replied: "According to reports, there are probably 8,000 cavalry, and more than 100 artillery pieces, although there are more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, most of them are unbearable, and the captives are still invincible, not to mention the tiger and wolf division of Shandong." ”

"That's good." Chongzhen said urgently.

Yang Sichang hurriedly began to make plans, he didn't want Zhao Yan to enter the capital and ask him for the crime, so he said: "The city wall of the Beijing division is strong, and there are hundreds of artillery, including 200 Shandong artillery, which can still resist for a while. Your Majesty can urgently order the governors of the provinces to enter the king of Bingqin, and join the power of the world to kill this son. ”

"Shandong soldiers and horses must have not been dispatched, so how is it good?" Chongzhen asked worriedly, at this time he could be described as a serious lack of confidence.

"Most of the Shandong soldiers and horses have gone to Liaodong, Your Majesty can write a letter to Jianjiao, asking him to increase the offensive and drag the Shandong soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and at the same time order the provinces to encircle the Shandong reinforcements with heavy troops." Yang Sichang said, "Although the soldiers and horses in Shandong are strong, only the township is brave in Shandong, and the combat power of the township is bound to be not strong." ”

Chongzhen walked back and forth, Yang Sichang was anxious, if Zhao Yan really entered the capital, a thief who sold state-owned assets would be enough to make him ruined.

Maybe he will die without a place to bury.

Chongzhen was silent, and after half a sound, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, according to Aiqing's policy, immediately write a letter to Yu Jianyu, and transfer the king of the army of Ning, and order the governors of all places to transfer the king of troops and Qin, and besiege and kill Zhao Yan in one fell swoop." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Yang Sichang hurriedly sang an ode, and Mao recommended himself: "The minister is willing to go to the superintendent for His Majesty." ”

"If Aiqing goes to the superintendent, I can rest assured." Chongzhen looked at Yang Sichang with satisfaction.

Chongzhen and Yang Sichang had a certain countermeasure, and immediately went their separate ways.

Soon Yang Sichang became a supervisor and was responsible for mobilizing the world's soldiers and horses. The atmosphere in the capital and Bauhinia City became tense in vain.

After inquiring about each other, the princes and nobles, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, they learned that Zhao Yan had raised troops on the side of the Qing monarch, and there was an uproar in the capital for a while, and people in the Forbidden City were even more panicked.

After more than a dozen holy decrees, Chongzhen sat on the chair dejectedly.

He has never been so hesitant as he is today, he has always been the emperor, in his impression, the emperor is above ten thousand people, although there are thieves, Jianyu does not buy his account, the courage of the civil and military generals but do not dare to disobey his decrees, he wants to let whoever goes home, he wants to let whoever loses his head, let whoever loses his head.

But...... He Zhao Yan didn't buy it!
