Penglai in April, has begun to show spring, a large number of flowers and trees deliberately planted in and outside the city over the years are now competing to reveal fragrance and green, so that the whole Penglai City is shrouded in a full of vitality. Not only the people in Penglai City, but also the people of Shandong know that His Royal Highness King Rui Zhu Ping'an likes to plant plants and trees, so the official gentry and businessmen, the people and the industry and commerce are also up and down, and in a few years, the green vegetation of the whole Shandong is several times higher than that of Chongzhen ten years.

Initially. Zhu Ping'an's intention to encourage the planting of trees is still unknown to the people, but in recent years, the climate of the whole Shandong is more and more comfortable and pleasant, it turns out that every autumn and winter, under the influence of Beizhili, Shandong will also suffer from a certain amount of wind and sand, especially in the year of the great drought, although it is adjacent to the sea, but it is still miserable. But now, the wind and sand are becoming less and less, and the people are gradually understanding that flowers and trees still have such effects on regulating the climate.

Outside the Penglai Water City is now a huge naval port, which has been built and perfected for five years since the thirteenth year of Chongzhen. In the west of the water city is the former governor of Shandong to prepare for the Japanese Kou Du Si Yamen, during the Jiajing period, in order to effectively organize the coastal guards to carry out the battle of coastal defense and defense of the Japanese, the imperial court aimed at Shandong, Yangzhou, Jinshan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong to establish six governors to prepare the Japanese capital division Yamen, Shandong was directly set up in the front line of the defense of the Japanese Kou Penglai.

With the passage of time, with the bloody battles of famous generals such as Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang during the Jiajing period and the victory of the War to Resist Japanese Aid Korea during the Wanli period, it is difficult for the Japanese to recover the prestige of the year, coupled with the rise of a new generation of overlords on the sea such as Zhu Ping'an and Zheng Zhilong, the Japanese have lost their foothold on the sea and gradually disappeared.

The Yamen of the Preparation of the Japanese Capital Division also gradually disappeared from the front of the people and became history. After Zhu Ping'an was named King Rui. This yamen was rebuilt into a courtyard, which is adjacent to the military port, and built next to the highest Wanghai Tower in Penglai, facing the sea, with a wide view, which is very in line with Zhu Ping'an's vision and love for the "sea view room" in his heart.

In mid-March. Zhu Ping'an returned to Shandong by boat from Jinzhou, the war in Liaodong came to an end temporarily, and the threat of Mobei Mongolia was temporarily suppressed. Due to the great war between the Ming and Qing dynasties, the entire Liaodong became full of holes and devastation, and the remnants of the Qing army also needed to be exterminated, and then it was time to resume production and recuperate.

It has become more and more difficult for North Korea to carry out a comprehensive military supply to the Liaodong army, the battle line continues to extend westward, and the grain, straw, ordnance and ammunition of more than 100,000 troops have gradually made the Korean royal family and the people a little unbearable. Although it is said that weakening North Korea is also Zhu Ping'an's original intention. But if North Korea is made a mess because of this, it is clearly not in line with the current situation.

Therefore, the conquest of Liaodong is not limited to the military aspect, and after the war is over, it is necessary to begin to restore the productive forces of Liaodong in order to lay a good foundation for the next action. Now the Central Plains, Jiangnan, and Shanxi are in flames everywhere, but Liaodong has gained a rare peaceful time after the war, and the remnants of He Luohui are no longer to worry. The first task of Li Dingguo's corps now is to rest, clean up the area, and resume production.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an returned to Shandong with confidence. The green battalion of the Qing army attacked Huguang. All the way, Zheng Zhilong lost the good situation, and retreated to Fujian in embarrassment, Anqing fell, Nanjing was besieged, and Zhu Yujian was held hostage to Fujian. This series of all kinds still needs to be solved by Zhu Ping'an one by one.

Shi Kefa was trapped in the lonely city, and Henan and Shandong were facing the threat of the main force of the Eight Banners, and it was difficult to withdraw reinforcements for a while, so Zhu Ping'an could only mobilize the newly returned Li Yanzhongzhen battalion to reinforce Nanjing, at the same time. Zhu Ping'an thought of Yan Yingyuan, a city defense expert under Lu Zhenfei, who had defended the lonely city of Jiangyin for 81 days in real history, beheaded the three kings and eighteen generals of the Qing army, and wiped out more than 70,000 Qing troops.

Facts have proved that Yan Yingyuan really lived up to expectations, and had held Nanjing for a month under the condition of extreme lack of troops, and within this month, the Qing army could not move an inch, and also lost Kong Youde, Shi Tingzhu, Shanba, Mubuchu and other senior generals, and the loss of troops was as high as 30,000 people, and the Qing army's artillery unit Wuzhen Chaoha was completely annihilated and completely disabled. It provided sufficient time guarantee for the assembly of reinforcements from all parts of Jianghuai.

At the beginning of April, Lu Zhenfei had already sworn troops in Yangzhou and marched towards Nanzhili, and the 50,000-strong army quickly advanced in the direction of Nanjing under the cover of the Jianghuai Water Division. The soldiers and horses of the pioneer battalion Ge Ying have arrived at the foot of Jiangyin City.

The situation in Nanzhili is developing in favor of the Ming army, but Zhejiang and Fujian are fighting their own battles, especially Fujian, Zhu Ping'an knows very well what kind of person Zheng Zhilong is, and the mercenary personality of the maritime merchants will not make him have much loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and the single-mindedness of Emperor Zhu Yujian of Longwu will not have any effect on Zheng Zhilong, in his eyes, interests are the most eternal partners.

At noon, Yin Shigang, Guo Chai, Hong Dahai, Zhang Huangyan, Sun Shikang, Goethe and other important ministers of the Rui Wangfu came to visit. This is also Zhu Ping'an's special arrangement, now Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin have begun to attack Hebei and Shanxi under the unified deployment of the military aircraft department, the original Ming army generals Jiang Xuan, Bai Guangen and others have also begun to liven up, Jiang Huang is a daring character, immediately announced in Datong to oppose the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming, he will jump out, Bai Guangen and other Ming army generals have responded, the entire Shanxi has become a pot of porridge in an instant, Azig had to incarnate as a firefighter to fight the fire everywhere, but the fire is getting bigger and bigger, There is a great potential to burn the prairie fire. Therefore, Yang Tinglin's march was much smoother.

Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui in Guangxi, took advantage of the turmoil of the Longwu court to stand on his own, but in fact, the soldiers and horses controlled by him and Ding Kuichu, Qu Shiqi, Lü Daqi, Wu Zhenyu and others who supported him were not enough to control the entire territory of Jiangxi. The Longwu court had no time to take care of Jiangxi, but it did not mean that the Qing court did not covet it. Hong Chengchou conquered the city in Sichuan, but Tong Yangjia, the new governor of the Qing court under his command, invaded Jiangxi before entering Guangdong, and within a month, he swept through Nanchang, Ruizhou, and Yuanzhou.

Compared with the day when it was suddenly heard that the green battalion of the Qing army had attacked Huguang with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai and Zheng Zhilong was completely defeated, Zhu Ping'an and his ministers were already in a much lighter mood. In particular, Yin Shigang, as the mastermind of the Military Intelligence Department, the 300,000 troops of the Green Battalion were suddenly assembled, but the Military Intelligence Department did not react at all when it launched a large-scale offensive, which is a little unreasonable.

Since Zhu Ping'an took charge of Shandong, all levels of the army have also been accustomed to using the all-pervasive intelligence of the military intelligence department as the guide and then launching an attack against the enemy's loopholes.

For this reason, Zhu Ping'an also had to personally order the Yin Shigang to be demoted by two levels and retained to obey orders. However, it was later proved that the Green Camp's move was indeed deliberately ordered by the Emperor Shunzhi and the Empress Dowager of the Qing Court to strictly keep secrets, and only a few people knew about the key points and important information, and even the Dolgon brothers were kept in the dark, and it was only known after the fact, no wonder even Huo Wu, who was lurking around Dolgon, had no way of knowing. The various departments of the Green Battalion were also personally placed and transferred by Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, and a lot of tricks and secrecy measures were used in order to strictly prevent the Ming army from making detailed investigations.

"Where is Shi Lang now?" Zhu Ping'an glanced at Xing Yuan, who was holding his one-year-old daughter not far away, and Mu Yuling, who was wearing a plain skirt, they were playing with the four-year-old son Zhu Chengyou on the lawn with a group of maids and nurses.

Father-in-law Mu Yanzi has been traveling outside since Zhu Chengyou came back once when he was one year old, and has been staying in Chen Zizhuang's Yunchun Academy to teach and educate people all these years. Zhu Ping'an once sent a few letters, saying that his son was five years old and should be at the age of enlightenment, and hoped that his father-in-law could return to Jinan to teach in person, but Mu Yanzi never agreed, just briefly mentioned that when Zhu Ping'an returned to Beijing, he would definitely go back. It seems that Mu Yanzi still can't let go of Wang Chengen's martyrdom in Beijing that day, so he can only place his affection in the mountains and rivers.

However, he recommended two people to come to Shandong, saying that both of them are talented and can be the teachers of the world.

One of these two people is called Huang Zongxi, and the other is Gu Yanwu. As soon as these two people appeared, it made Zhu Ping'an laugh. Gu Yanwu is okay, this Huang Zongxi is the first person to be enlightened, although his ideology and academia are still immature, but there are already some signs of it in his words. Let such a person teach his son, after many years, wouldn't it have a huge impact and impact on the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty.

But after thinking about it, since the Ming Dynasty has developed to the point where it is today, advanced ideas will emerge sooner or later, and the children will understand some of them this morning, plus a few teachers hired from France and Prussia, they can also let the children look at the world and understand the situation of world development and the shortcomings of the Ming itself, which is also okay.

Decades, or even hundreds of years later, where Daming will go, this is beyond Zhu Ping'an's control. Although others always feel that Zhu Ping'an is unfathomable, Zhu Ping'an himself knows very well that his talents have been poured out of his pockets so far, and more talents will be needed to assist in governing the country in the future.

(These two chapters are a bit boring, but there are some things to explain, please forgive me.) In addition, in view of the policy requirements, the content of this book no longer involves sensitive issues such as the political system and the national system, and is purely a struggle for world dominance!
