Overnight, Jiannu lost control of the Liaodong Peninsula and suffered great losses. This made the wild boar skin who returned to Liaoyang really aware of the coming crisis.

After some losses, the strength of the wild boar skin had dropped to about 100,000 at this time.

The Ming army was twice as large as the wild boar skin, and if it attacked on a large scale at this time, it was entirely possible to drive the wild boar skin out of the Liaohe Plain.

However, the Ming army did not have large-scale cavalry, and when the time came, it would be difficult for Jiannu to drill into the mountains, and it would be difficult to annihilate the main force of Jiannu, and when the territory controlled by the Ming army was large, it was necessary to prevent wild boar skins from looting everywhere, and the situation would be reversed again.

At this time, because the wild boar skin had to hold a large territory, it had a great impact on their troops. Production in Shenyang and Liaoyang has been almost destroyed by Jiannu, and with the destruction of the guerrillas, there is no production left, and if it cannot be developed as soon as it is recovered, it is actually useless.

Therefore, the Ming army marched step by step, and in addition to the Liaohe defense line, the Taizi River defense line was constructed.

The wild boar skin was truly aware of the crisis, and immediately sent people to the deep mountains and old forests to arrest the raw Jurchen. The so-called Jurchens are those Jurchen tribes who wear fishskin clothes.

The Tunguska boar skin was actually forcibly kneading out a new people, and under the banner of the Jurchens, a large number of those raw Jurchens were absorbed into this bandit gang. Of course, in the process of absorption, in fact, violent arrests were adopted.

There are obviously many Jurchens in the mountains, and in order to make up for the disadvantage in troops, the wild boar skin can only launch a crazy expansion of the army.

However, because of the withering of production, the days of Jiannu at this time were obviously not so good.

There is no shortage of food for the time being, but Gangtie is beginning to be in short supply. Especially when it comes to steel. It is even more difficult to keep up with the speed of replenishment of war damage and personnel.

Obviously, the steelmaking technology mastered by Jiannu is also the folk technology of the Ming Dynasty. And it's a little worse than the technology of the South. This steelmaking technology. It takes a lot of labor.

Smelting pig iron into mature iron, and then forging it into steel, also requires a lot of fuel. In this process, to obtain a piece of steel, it is necessary to constantly stir and forge, and there are too many labor requirements. Within the scope of Jiannu's occupation, production was very withered, and the Han population under Jiannu's rule was also sharply reduced, and there was simply not so much manpower and material resources to support Jiannu's steel production.

So much so that Jiannu produces steel himself. The annual production is pitiful.

The smuggling channel was also completely cut off at this time, and the future Eight Merchants had been exterminated by Zhu Youxiao, and at this time, the anti-smuggling forces of the Ming Army were also constantly patrolling, and there were various reporting incentives, so that Jiannu now wanted to get a large amount of steel through smuggling It has become a daydream.

However, Jiannu can barely raise an army of 70,000 or 80,000 people, although the equipment may be uneven, but the food and other materials can still last for a few more years.

Of course, when there are more troops, it is not necessarily.

The Ming army destroyed the production of wild boar skins. and the policy of killing their living forces has yielded very good results.

When the news of Liaodong's victory was transmitted back to Guannai, Zhu Youxiao immediately asked "Daming Daily" to continue to report.

This was preceded by local rebellions. The main reason is that those reactionary elements saw that the Ming Dynasty was defeated again and again in Liaodong, and they thought that the time for rebellion had come, and they couldn't bear to jump out to rebel.

"All the 003 divisions will be credited with second-class merit once, and the fallen soldiers will be compensated according to the first-class merit level. In addition, the Tengxiang cavalry army will all be recorded as third-class merit once......"

Zhu Youxiao read the battle report, and then rewarded him for his meritorious service according to the list reported by Sun Chuanting.

The rewards for meritorious service in the Central Army are mainly from special to third-class meritorious service, and after meritorious service, you will have the opportunity to become an officer, and you will have a better place to go after changing jobs, and so on. The reward in kind is mainly land, and this time the Ming army recovered the Liaodong Peninsula, obviously got a lot of land.

The land rewarded reached 3 million mu, of which the 003rd Division received the most land rewards, followed by the Tengxiang Cavalry Army. Other units that participated in the battle also received a number of land awards.

There are still many things to do after the recovery of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the most important thing is to reap the dividends of the war. Without the support of war dividends, the Ming Dynasty's external expansion would not have been able to continue.

The royal consortium naturally moved when they heard the news, and the royal capital and those imperial businessmen rushed to the Liaodong Peninsula to carve up this fast cake.

The most delicious thing about this cake is naturally obtained by the royal capital, and as a group of imperial merchants who supplement the royal capital, they can also obtain a lot of exploitable resources.

Another is that the military has also taken a piece of the cake through its military exploits.

However, arable land is only a part, and there are also minerals, forestry, medicinal materials, and fisheries, all of which have great benefits, provided that they are developed.

Royal Capital is currently transferring a lot of funds to Taiwan for development, and the development of the Liaodong Peninsula is obviously not so sufficient.

However, it does not hinder the development of Liaodong.

After Yang Guorui entered the palace and discussed with Zhu Youxiao several times, it was decided that the Royal Bank would set up a subsidiary called 'Liaodong Development Company', and then go public directly to raise funds.

Before the listing of Liaodong Development Company, "Daming Daily" reported on the 'Yaozhou Victory' at large length.

"After a bloody battle, the three armies successfully annihilated nearly 40,000 troops of Jiannu, and successfully recovered the entire Liaodong Peninsula."

The news of the great victory suddenly made the entire Beizhili towns extremely lively, and there were people and businesses setting off fireworks everywhere.

Because of the economic prosperity of Beizhili, the people at the bottom have jobs, and the protection of the groups that cannot work, the problem of food and clothing has been largely solved.

In addition, this year, Zhu Youxiao began to pay close attention to the administrative efficiency of the officials and administrative efficiency of the Beizhi subordinates, and the phenomena of corruption and extortion of the people have been completely suppressed, and no one dares to openly embezzle corruption, let alone extort the people. And all kinds of miscellaneous taxes have also been abolished, and the impression of ordinary people on the imperial court has changed greatly.

The victory of the officers and soldiers on the front line is naturally worth celebrating.

Those merchants also celebrated the victory to attract the attention of the people. All kinds of taxes from Beizhili weighed on the heads of these merchants, and even the agricultural tax fell on the heads of the merchants because of the land management reform. But at this time, the royal consortium had risen in Beizhili, and a large number of consortium businessmen rose because of this and gained the right to speak.

Those who could not adapt to the trend were quickly eliminated. Many of the businessmen who followed the trend became imperial businessmen who operated in joint ventures with royal capital.

In addition to those imperial merchants, there were also a large number of merchants who established their own industries with the help of a prosperous economy after the emergence of import and export tariffs.

These merchants, who had risen to prominence with a series of reshuffling activities, also stopped attacking the imperial court's decision to levy a commercial tax in Beizhili.

The relationship between the imperial court and the merchants of Beizhili was also greatly eased.

It can be said that Zhu Youxiao has initially cultivated an interest group, and the original emperor of the Ming Dynasty was the representative of the interest group of the landlord class.

Therefore, the wind evaluation in Beizhili is getting better day by day, and the status is becoming more and more stable.

The next day, "Daming Daily" reported another piece of news that made everyone feel extremely excited. The title was "The Son of Heaven Resolved to Restore Liaodong in Three Years", which vigorously advocated and publicized Zhu Youxiao's plan for the comprehensive recovery of Liaodong in three years.

The intention is obvious, that is, to prepare for the listing of the 'Liaodong Development Company'.

After the news came out, "Daming Daily" made an appointment and interview with the military, as a public opinion propaganda agency of the royal consortium, it is natural that there are all kinds of official connections, and the request is very simple.

This time, "Daming Daily" interviewed an unnamed staff officer of the High Command, who declared:

"The Son of Heaven is determined to recover Liaodong in three years, which seems to be reckless, but it is not, but it is a prudent strategy. Some people may think that this is nonsense, but if the officers and men of Liaodong today are still the same as they were two years ago, when military discipline was corrupted, weapons and equipment were cut corners, military salaries were deducted from top to bottom, and ordinary officers and men could not even eat enough, then the recovery of Liaodong in three years is indeed nonsense. ”

"But in the past two years, the Son of Heaven sent Sun Chengzong to the governor of Liaodong Town, and tried every means to raise military funds, Sun Chengzong Governor Liaodong Town after rectifying military discipline, organizing and training the army, and building the Liaohe River defense line, has stabilized the Ming army's position in one fell swoop, and has made Jiannu do nothing in the past two years, and has not been able to take any more people and materials from my Ming Dynasty."

At the same time, the Son of Heaven appointed Mao Wenlong to open the Dongjiang River and harass the rear of Jiannu, which has achieved great results. Jiannu was already ignorant of production, and in the past two years, the Dongjiang Army has caused a lot of holes in their rear through guerrilla warfare, and production has been seriously damaged. The Son of Heaven also confiscated the eight Jin merchants who were smuggling with Jiannu, completely cutting off the channel for Jiannu to smuggle materials from the Ming Dynasty. Today, the production of Jiannu is no longer enough to support them to maintain a large number of troops for a long time. I, Daming, only need to continue to blockade Jiannu for two or three years before Jiannu can completely collapse. ”

At the end of last year, the Son of Heaven transferred a large number of well-trained, well-equipped, and well-disciplined Central Army to Jinzhou Town, and immediately achieved a great victory in Yaozhou this year. With the current military strength of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, even if a full-scale counteroffensive is launched against Jiannu, it has been able to recover Shenyang. The reason why a full-scale counteroffensive was not immediately launched was mainly to prevent Jiannu from giving Jiannu any chance to counterattack or turn the tables. In the next two years, our officers and men will be in eastern Liaodong step by step, and at the same time, the military strength will be further enhanced. The officers and men of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong will have the most sophisticated equipment and the most adequate military salaries and material supplies. Two years later, Jiannu will be a bandit gang that is seriously short of war materials, and may even lack food, and then it will be able to win a battle and recover the entire Liaodong without any suspense. ”

The strategic goal of recovering Liaodong in three years doesn't matter if it is leaked or not, the Ming army will inevitably crush Jiannu with absolute power in Liaodong, and Jiannu knows that there is no way.

After some advocacy, Liaodong Development Company was officially listed. On the same day, in the Jingshi Stock Exchange, the stock price of Liaodong Development Company soared all the way. The previous hype has obviously given investors great confidence. (To be continued......)
