At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, although the anti-Qing movement never stopped, it could not cooperate with the action, and because they had their own belongings, they often could not work together.

To integrate the various anti-Qing forces and form a trend that echoes each other, it is necessary not only in the name of the imperial court, but also to have a broad mind, and more importantly, to be open-minded.

Li Dingguo, the king of the Jin Dynasty, stayed in Mengzi for four days, attended three small court meetings, and discussed with the General Staff to improve the strategies and policies of Sichuan.

If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, it is not easy for His Royal Highness Min to maintain the current situation, and he has already done his best to do his best. When Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, set off to leave, he looked back at Zhu Yongxing and the officials who saw him off, and expressed his heartfelt and admiring feelings.

Restore post-war reconstruction, maintain the army's money and food, expand military production, and support the operation of various government departments...... Everywhere costs money, Zhu Yongxing is indeed painstaking, and the means are diverse, Li Dingguo thinks that he is inferior. He also basically agreed with Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan's statement, at this time, if Zhu Yongxing does not do it, the situation in the southwest is likely to be in danger. If a large number of officials and generals followed, it would not be surprising that the southwest would collapse in one fell swoop.

In peacetime, we talk about our ancestors, and in war, we talk about merit. These are the words left by the ancients, and there have been such changes of emperors in history. Li Dingguo thought of Yongli, who did not return in Myanmar, and saw Zhu Yongxing's hard work, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

The great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty was inseparable from Zhu Yongxing's management and planning, and officials and generals gradually fell in love, and even the common people increasingly pinned their hopes on Zhu Yongxing to keep their hard-won stable life. Even if Li Dingguo is helpless now, he can't think about it, so he can only choose to believe that Zhu Yongxing seems to be unintentional, and seems to be a guarantee, "I will not wave a knife at my own people." Violence and killing are not the only solution to the problem."

……………

Everything is arranged, and Zhu Yongxing is about to set off again. For the meeting with Zheng Chenggong, he has great hopes. After all, both sides were in a weak position in the face of the Qing court, and cooperation would benefit both sides, and divide the benefits and harms. Although Zheng Chenggong is arrogant, he still has a strategic vision. And his strength is not enough to stand on his own, so he can only continue to hang the signboard of Emperor Yongli and be a "Ming Chen".

"Pay attention to your body, don't be tired, don't get angry, don't ......" Zhu Yongxing told his wife in a hurry, while Mengzhu meticulously did his wife's duty, helping Zhu Yongxing straighten his clothes and tie the silk.

"Hmm. Don't just stay still, proper exercise, appropriate ah, it's good for you and your child......"

Mengzhu pursed her lips and laughed, held Zhu Yongxing's face and looked at it carefully, kissed her stilts, and said, "Okay, Your Highness's words." The concubine remembered everything, and she didn't lose a word. Well. Isn't it time to say it? ”

Zhu Yongxing gently stroked Mengzhu's hair and said with a smile: "You said, I also remember it." ”

"Be more careful on the road, don't be your own temperament, ride less horses, and spend more time in the car." This time, the role has changed. Mengzhu, like a wife who usually bids farewell to her husband, reminded and advised, "When you get to Xialong, don't go to the water to play." Don't go into battle yourself. Arrows and arrows have no eyes......"

Zhu Yongxing listened with a smile, a warm feeling welled up in his heart, and it was not until his wife finished telling her that he held her in his arms for a while.

"Okay, it's time to go, it's time to wait outside." After ending the hug, Zhu Yongxing reluctantly gave another deep kiss before turning around and going out.

Three carriages were already waiting at the gate of the mansion, Zhu Yongxing shook his head slightly, walked to the middle one, and got in. The wheels were rolling, the hooves were noisy, and more than 100 guards protected the three carriages and walked out of the south gate proudly.

Although Zhu Yongxing was reluctant to ride in a vehicle without shock absorption, his subordinate officials were worried that he would come and go on horseback with his guards. Identity is a small issue, but security is the most important thing. If something happens to Zhu Yongxing, who can still command the heroes and be admirable?

The walls of these three carriages were equipped with iron plates, which were not thick, but they were absolutely able to withstand the current muskets and crossbow arrows. Moreover, the car in which Zhu Yongxing was sitting was not disclosed in advance, and it was only randomly arranged by Yang Guoxiang, the captain of the personal guard, before going out, which increased the difficulty of the attack.

The car left Mengzi, and after coming to the field, Zhu Yongxing couldn't wait to get out of the car. In his mind, he didn't dress up like a peacock, mixed in with the guards, how could he recognize him? But the officials' advice was also well-intentioned, and he was so annoyed that he had to respond to the story.

The wind is blowing, the fields are yellowing, and it is almost harvest time. After contacting Zheng Chenggong, and then eliminate Nan Ruan Shuishi, can you come back to catch up with the New Year, right? Zhu Yongxing calculated the time again and felt that it was quite abundant.

"Your Highness, when this season's grain is harvested, the people's lives will be better, right?" Zhang Huangyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, will accompany Zhu Yongxing to Xialong, because King Lu is there, and he should be present to talk to Zhu Yongxing, which should be much more convenient.

Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "The military food should be guaranteed, so I will not borrow food from the people for the time being, so that the people can have a good year." ”

The relationship between Siam and the Ming Dynasty is getting better and better, and whenever there is a new product, such as mirrors, sunglasses, etc., Zhu Yongxing always has to take out some and send them to Siam to make friends with the royal family and Pabi Luoja. Due to the good weather in Siam in recent years, there is a large amount of surplus grain to help the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yongxing also strengthened his commercial contacts with Siam with commodities such as realgar and tea from Yunnan Province, and could purchase relatively low-priced grain from the Siamese people.

Mekong province has been able to harvest two crops this year since the resettlement was developed, and with the nearby aid from Champa, not only will Mekong be self-sufficient in food, but may also have a slight surplus.

Agricultural production in the occupied areas of Yunnan Province and Annam has also improved considerably, with once barren fields reclaimed for cultivation and the spread of high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes. If the normal taxes are paid, the people will be able to have surplus food at home, and their living standards will improve.

In this way, although Zhu Yongxing still needs to import grain to ensure the supply of the army, the quantity has been greatly reduced, and he can save a lot of money for other purposes.

Next year, if Mekong develops well, grain imports can also be stopped. It will be able to concentrate financial resources to strengthen armaments, expand the army, and gradually begin a counteroffensive. Oh, Shunzhi should be finished next year, the lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and the Qing court is afraid that it will take a period of rectification and adaptation before it can raise troops on a large scale.

For Zhu Yongxing, time is still very precious and urgent. He wanted to straighten out the relationship between the various anti-Qing forces, so that they could work together and coordinate their actions; He wanted to strengthen his armaments, expand his army, continue to fight the Qing army, and recover his country; He wanted to build up his own team and establish a higher authority to compete with Yongli and the small court......
