Plans do not change quickly, especially on the battlefield, and they are not subject to human will. Therefore, Zhu Yongxing only explained the strategy, and the specific actions still depended on the "camera decision" of the front-line generals.

The Zheng army landed and invaded southwest Fujian, which somewhat exceeded the expectations of the Ming army, but under the circumstances of this change, Ma Bao and Wu San Province sent an urgent report to Zhu Yongxing while sending troops out of Meizhou to attack Longyan in Fujian Province. Although the Zheng army came to seize land territory, the containment of the Qing army was obvious, and Ma Bao and the others certainly did not want to let go of this favorable opportunity.

Zhu Yongxing's caution They know what the reason is, one is the southward movement of the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the other is that the ammunition is a little insufficient. Since the Eastern Crusade, the consumption of ammunition has been much larger, but it has not made the musket a burning stick. If the fixed ammunition is insufficient, then use bulk, and the artillery will be used less, and it will be enough to support it if it continues to fight. Moreover, the Ming army's musket equipment rate was too high, even if half of it could shoot and half of it could be used as a cold weapon, it would still exceed the current Zheng army and the Qing army, which mainly used cold weapons. In other words, the advantage of equipment still exists, but the problem of ammunition has reduced it a little, and it can no longer be fired without restraint as before.

When he received the latest news, Zhu Yongxing was also surprised. In addition to being short-sighted, Zheng Jing doesn't seem to be very good at fighting, why did he suddenly break out?

In fact, this is Zhu Yongxing's somewhat contemptuous of Zheng Jun's combat effectiveness. During the Battle of Nanjing, Zheng's army defeated the Manchurian Eight Banners and besieged Nanjing for a long time; During the rebellion of the three feudatories, Zheng Jun and Geng Jingzhong's soldiers and horses also clashed repeatedly. Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Tong'an, Haicheng and other important towns were all acquired by Zheng Jun, so Geng Jingzhong had to re-examine the strength of Zheng Jun, and sent people to send warships, gold and silver, and make peace with Zheng Jingyan.

At this time, the Zheng family had not yet been infighting, there were many fierce generals, and the soldiers and horses were not weakened. It makes sense.

Although it disrupted Zhu Yongxing's plan a little. But seizing such an opportunity, Zhu Yongxing did not object to the decision of Ma Bao and other generals. In the rear, he also changed the order of material deployment, postponed the dispatch time of the Yangtze River Naval Division, and suspended the formation of the Guangzhou Garrison Division. Urging the arsenal to speed up production. Urge the Macao Gun Factory to deliver the goods as soon as possible. In order to tilt the ammunition and materials in the direction of Meizhou as much as possible.

A direct attack on Fujian Province may be able to get a better result. Zhu Yongxing didn't dare to be too sure, but the outbreak of the Zheng family's ally. So that the Ming army can fight the Qing side by side with him, but he has always hoped for it.

"I am afraid that it is not enough to rely on the arsenal and the Macao gun factory, and we will learn from the experience of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and immediately issue orders to the people, as well as requisition orders for sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal." After Zhu Yongxing took a series of measures, he still felt that it was not complete, and mobilized the people in the newly recovered Guangdong area.

Under Zhu Yongxing's guidance, the mode of war has undergone great changes, and in addition to weaponry and strategy, it is a unique characteristic and an ever-expanding advantage to mobilize as many people as possible to participate. The government has constantly put forward demands, such as cartridge casings, bayonet making, military uniforms, wounded medicines, dry rations, material transportation, and so on, so that the non-governmental industries have been given opportunities for development and the people have additional income.

If the money is insufficient, he will offset it with tax incentives or land, and Zhu Yongxing rarely uses empty checks to fool around, and always maintains the enthusiasm of the people to participate in the national war with visible benefits. As long as you want, whether you are young or old, there is always a job that suits you, and it is a paid job.

War is a kind of destruction, but in some ways, it also has a boosting effect on productivity. Huge ships, submarines with torpedoes, aircraft with ever-improving performance, and even brought humanity into the nuclear age. If it had been a time of peace, without the urgent need of war, it would have been a long time before these things came to the fore.

Of course, the views on war are also different from the perspective of all sides, and it is obviously difficult to talk about the absolute pros and cons. However, the current war between the Ming and Qing dynasties was not limited to the battlefield, Zhu Yongxing was still using this to wash away the corrosion and dirt of the Ming Empire, so that social development was biased to a more progressive path in history.

At present, the province that has benefited the most is Yunnan Province, which was the first to implement various policies. Under the strong demand of the army and the expansion of orders for the people, the economy of Yunnan Province has been greatly developed, and it is no longer completely monotonous agricultural economy. From the home to the workshop, to the factory; From military uniforms, rolled cartridges, gold wound medicine, paper printing...... There are not a few people from all walks of life who have brains.

The character and traditions of ethnic minorities, from the perspective of women at that time, were more open and generous than those of the Han people, and there was less resistance to going out of the house. Therefore, the personnel in Yunnan Province were mobilized the earliest and the largest number of people, and they are also shifting to a large scale. This may be the law of social development, and good guidance can come naturally.

Although Guangdong recovered late, its population far exceeds that of Yunnan Province, and once it is launched, the help will be huge.

"Decree: Grant the Kunming Wansong Thatched Cottage Sun Yi'an Lord, and the maritime merchant Chen Hongfa Lord, award-" Zhu Yongxing suddenly paused, pondered for a while, and changed his words: "Reward the righteous people on Tuesday, Feng 400 acres of fertile land, and give a plaque for commendation." ”

Wansong Thatched Cottage has become the main supplier of military drugs with emergency san, pills, tinctures, and ointments, and the medicine is supplied first and then paid, and it is supplied at a low price. Chen Hongfa used his own merchant ship to transport materials for the Ming army, running back and forth, without asking for compensation, which can also be regarded as a patriotic businessman; As for Tuesday and Feng Si, they fought outside Meizhou to capture the commander of the Qing army who had slipped through the net, demonstrating the bravery of the righteous people and serving as an example to publicize.

And Zhu Yongxing treated it differently, but he also considered it. As the war progresses, the Ming army will only get stronger and stronger, and in the future, it is estimated that there will be many people like Tuesday and Feng Si who dare to rise up and fight. And this 100 acres of fertile land, the government gave a plaque, in Zhu Yongxing's view, it is enough to make people envious, so as to produce a desire to imitate.

"Decree: Give Zhang Guo the general army of Meizhou Town, and grant Yan Weilong the general army of Chaozhou Town...... He Hailong was awarded the director of the Ministry of Engineering, in charge of the construction of Conghua Gun Factory......"

A series of personnel appointments, both civil and military. The military generals had already proved themselves with their achievements on the battlefield, and the civilian officials were transferred from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and they had considerable experience and no mistakes in their work.

Finally finished handling official business, Zhu Yongxing leaned back in his chair slightly tiredly. It is estimated that the ammunition problem will be eased soon, and although the artillery factory in Conghua, Guangdong, which was still gratifyingly built, has been somewhat abandoned, it is estimated that it will be rebuilt very quickly. Most of the artillery technicians in the Ming Dynasty were skilled in Cantonese craftsmen, and it was not difficult to recruit from the people. (To be continued......)
