Three hundred years ago, a Han army crossed this road and went north to Beijing, ending the first foreign rule of the Central Plains; Now, a more powerful Han army is once again on its way, marching proudly towards Jingshi to put an end to the darkness and ignorance that another alien race has brought to China.

Onward, onward! The wheels rolled, the horses neighed, the head could not be seen in front and the tail in the back, and the eyes were full of red uniforms, like lava flows erupting from the depths of the earth; Under the dark sky, the torches were held high, and a galloping and jumping fire dragon was formed. Although the wind is loud, it can't suppress the pace of progress; Even though the weather was cold, it couldn't stop the warm scene.

Massacres, looting, shameless betrayals, killings, bloodshed, sacrifices...... Whether despicable, tragic, noble, sad, or reverent, after experiencing various phenomena, the rise of China, a different China, has become unstoppable, and will radiate a more dazzling light.

There is a saying that whoever can make others sacrifice for their own cause is either a saint or a madman. Zhu Yongxing admits that he is not a saint, and certainly not a madman. And those famous or unknown people who shed blood and sacrificed, they are not for Zhu Yongxing's career alone.

A free, equal, open, and stable country will not belong to Zhu Yongxing alone, but to everyone and all the people.

Yes, whether rich or poor, young or old, born or ethnicity, as long as you have a nationality and are entitled to rights and obligations in accordance with the laws and regulations of the country, you can have this title - "national".

Progress is not only about changing the title from "common people" to "national", but also about the introduction and implementation of substantive policies, which have given more and more respect and benefits to "nationals". From the beginning of the conferral of the people, some commoners or merchants with titles could not worship the officials, and they could compete with the county officials; and then to the trial implementation of the military lord, giving social respect to meritorious retired soldiers. From special to general. In a hierarchical feudal society, Zhu Yongxing walked step by step.

No dynasty cared so much about the well-being of its "people" as it does now, and was able to give it all out, even raising money in the name of the royal family. He did not hesitate to condescend to the king of billions of trillions, just to collect more money and food, and save more people at the bottom who were once regarded as "grass mustard". In this way, he frankly said the current difficulties of the imperial court. Stating the hardships of the compatriots in the north, calling for collective wisdom and efforts, and asking for help from all sides, is more effective than those formal "emperor mourns, reduces food and stops rejoicing".

Siam, Champong, Annam, Ryukyu, Wa, and Korea, from which grain bought or borrowed was continuously shipped to Shandong; The slogan of "one less meal, save one compatriot" was widely publicized in the Mingtong region south of the river...... The trickle flows into a great river that flows to the north. so that the hungry people of the north who are waiting to be fed can live.

There is no doubt about the victory in the national war, and the difficulties in supplies, food and grass are only temporary. The whole country mobilized and worked together to tide over the difficulties. If you contribute money, materials, and efforts, and the tide surges, there will be no difficulties and hardships that cannot be overcome.

……………

The good news that the Ming army was marching towards the capital division came to Hejian and that not only the people were rejoicing. Thinking that victory in the war was only a matter of time, and that a peaceful life had come; The court officials were also overjoyed. Shed tears for the revival of the Ming Dynasty and the recovery of China.

Zhu Yongxing was excited and excited, and once again proposed to move north and sit in Beijing. However, most officials in the court were opposed, and they quoted scriptures and combined with the actual situation, and finally let Zhu Yongxing retract his will.

Moving north is a gesture and sharing weal and woe with the soldiers. And not the meaning of hiding behind to enjoy happiness. Of course, Zhu Yongxing's status will not compete for any credit, but the opposition of the ministers is also very reasonable.

The first is that Beijing has not yet recovered, and although the situation is very optimistic, other variables cannot be ruled out. It's a bit hasty to rush to move. If there is any accident, wouldn't it be a laughing stock to turn back halfway?

The second is that the spring is imminent, as the top priority after the new emperor ascends the throne, and at the same time, the opening of the imperial court is also the top event for the world's scholars. Now that it has been announced that the event will be held in Nanjing, it is obviously inappropriate for Zhu Yongxing to move to Beijing. As far as the composition of the current court officials is concerned, the southerners account for the majority, and they naturally do not want to change the location because of the move.

There are also some other opinions, such as the withering of the Northland, and the large number of people after the relocation, which will undoubtedly increase the pressure on the transportation of materials; The northern land has not yet stabilized, and the emperor's safety cannot be ignored and so on.

Zhu Yongxing could not go to Beijing for the time being, but the imperial court had to send officials to Beijing to make a front station, and the work was very complicated, such as dividing the yamen of various departments, cleaning up and distributing the palace and officials' residences, and building a smooth post system centered on Beijing. After next year's Spring Festival, Beijing will replace Nanjing as the new political center, and the supporting facilities and work must be completed before then.

Zhu Yongxing can let go of other departments and work to do from below, only the military department, or the military aspect, he has always been involved in it, and firmly controls the mobilization and distribution of the army. Under the new form, a series of adjustments and arrangements followed.

The Beijing Military Region was set up, with the commander-in-chief of the military region being Ma Bao, the king of Wei, under the jurisdiction of the four armies of Dangshuo, Zhengshuo, Annihilation, and Poshuo, as well as the Tianjin Naval Division, with a total of 150,000 people, in charge of the Beijing Division, Zhili, Shanxi, and other places, and to provide strategic support for the Northeast Military Region.

The Northeast Military Region was established, and the commander-in-chief of the military region was Wang Pixiong of Qianyang, with two armies under the jurisdiction of the two armies of Suppression Shuo and Jieshuo (Shandong Corps in the Seventh Division), as well as a cavalry division (led by Liu Zhen, King of Qingyang) and the Northeast Water Division, with a total of more than 100,000 people, in charge of the northeast region.

The Jinan Military Region was established, with the commander-in-chief of the military region being Zheng Wang Liu Tichun, under the jurisdiction of the two armies of Yanshuo and Fashuo, in charge of Shandong and Henan, to provide strategic cover for the Beijing Military Region, and to be used as a strategic reserve for the Beijing Military Region and the Xi'an Military Region.

The Xi'an Military Region was temporarily established, and the commander-in-chief of the military region, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, had jurisdiction over the two armies of Zhenshuo and Qiushuo, and the cavalry division (led by Gao Wengui, the Duke of Changguo), with a total of more than 100,000 people, in charge of Gansu, Shaanxi and other northwest regions.

The Southwest Military Region was temporarily established, and the commander-in-chief of the military region was Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan, under the jurisdiction of the Jingshuo Army and various Tusi native soldiers, and was in charge of the Yunnan-Guichuan military.

From these adjustments and deployments, it can be seen that the center of gravity of the Ming army is still in the north, mainly in the northwest and northeast directions, and the southwest is also taken into account, but there are not many troops. In the southeast, however, there are fewer troops and rely almost entirely on local garrisons. Of course, the south-eastern region is the least likely to be militarily threatened.
