Chapter 293: Recuperate

"Hahaha......"

When Zhu Jian saw the good news in his hand, he suddenly burst into crazy laughter, which frightened Wang Chengen and Song Xiance, who were standing on the side, and almost sent someone to call the imperial doctor.

"See for yourselves." Zhu Jian laughed so hard that his stomach throbbed, and tears rushed out, so he covered his abdomen and handed the good news to Song Xiance.

The good news is only a brief description of the results and results of the battle, which can be regarded as a good news first, and the specific battle process has to wait for Qin Liangyu, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Jie.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

Song Xiance and Wang Chengen watched together, and then congratulated each other, and even took Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng out of a pot, and the internal troubles were cleared, which is indeed a great joy, but it is just two rabble, why is the emperor so happy?

Of course Zhu Jian is crazy, no one knows better than him how good Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are, these two brothers are Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten, they have been defeated repeatedly, they have been defeated again and again, and they have tossed the little vitality left in the Ming Dynasty, and the last one to enter Sichuan to be the king, and the other to capture the Beijing Division, he, no, it is the predecessor of this skin who was forced by Li Zicheng to hang the coal mountain, and now it is okay, the two Xiaoqiang are dead and captured, and the internal troubles are cleared.

Of course, he knew in his heart that if he didn't let the people live a good life, there would be trouble in the future, King Zhang Chuang, King Zhao Chuang, or something, and he would rebel against him with the desperate people, and he would still be under a lot of pressure on the Jin army outside.

Zhu Jian is in a good mood, and simply gives the ministers three days off, which is equivalent to giving himself a holiday, to be honest, every morning can annoy him to death, which stupid pen set the time to work, you have to get up before dawn, I don't know if it will be the deepest and most refreshing time to sleep?

It is said that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and the emperor is no exception, Zhu Jian, who is in a good mood, is considering whether to go to Empress Zhou or to Tian Guifei, share good things with them, and by the way, talk about life ideals, enhance feelings, and Tian Guifei, who is dressed up in a fancy way, has come to congratulate him surrounded by a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

This girl is quite scheming, rushing to cut off the beard.

Zhu Jian didn't break it, he just went to Tian Guifei first, and then went to Queen Zhou's side tomorrow, anyway, it's all the same, but the order is reversed.

When Zhang Xianzhong led the army to storm Shanyin County, Huang Taiji was also commanding the Jin army to storm Shanhaiguan, and the city wall that took a lot of effort to blow up was repaired by the Ming army overnight, making him so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

Under the hurried treatment of the imperial doctor, Huang Taiji woke up slowly, tangled for a while, and still ordered to storm Shanhaiguan, spending so much money, food, gunpowder, and losing so many warriors, he was unwilling to withdraw his troops like this, so he had to try several times.

The fierce offensive and defensive battle of Shanhaiguan began, the sound of roaring and killing and the sound of guns and cannons were mixed, resounding in the sky, the Jin army iron cavalry was invincible in the field, but the attack was its weakness, the city wall was blown down and failed to attack the city, not to mention the fortified city that was repaired and re-strengthened, the defenders of the city repelled the Jin army's onslaught again and again by virtue of the advantage of the fortified city, and the five attacks were in vain, so they had to leave nearly 3,000 corpses and wounded to retreat.

In the next few months, Huang Taiji led the army to move elsewhere, so he wanted to dig tunnels to bomb the city, and the defenders on all sides had already been warned by Lu Hongniang to strictly prevent the Jin army from digging tunnels to break the city.

The tribal alliance army fought for several months, lost troops and lost generals, spent countless money and food, could not get any benefits, morale was low, the tribal chiefs and elders were dissatisfied, and Cao Bianjiao led the army to cross the sea from time to time, attacking the rear hinterland, Huang Taiji had to withdraw his troops, go back to recuperate, consider the future livelihood problems, and the border pass rarely restored calm.

During this period, the Red Gang set up cement workshops under several hillsides in eastern Liaodong to produce cement in large quantities, one-third of which was used for civil agriculture and other infrastructure construction, one-third was sold to rich moats to build buildings, and one-third was used to repair and strengthen the city defenses, and the fortresses of the large and small border forts on the nine sides were strengthened into fortified cities that were easy to defend and difficult to defend.

Zhu Jian's current strategic intention is to seal off the Nine Frontier Defenses, and only need to keep the Jin Army out of the pass, and then go all out to engage in military science and technology and civilian production, recuperate as much as possible, and rejuvenate the dying Ming Dynasty.

In order to cut off the Jin army's way of life, he once again issued an order to strictly inspect the goods entering and leaving the customs, and only allowed ceramics, tea, cloth and other luxury goods to leave the customs, and any grain, iron ore, sulfur, saltpeter and other military materials flowed out of the customs.

Although it was impossible to completely eradicate it, under the strict order, many profit-hungry merchants still shy away, and did not dare to joke with their heads, greatly cutting off the channels for the Guanwai clan to obtain material replenishment, and the more difficult the livelihood.

Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion and Li Xin's Shenji Battalion cooperated with the Wolf Thieves Regiment to take turns to sweep away the nearby small tribes, and return the desperate tactics commonly used by the Guanwai clans to them, so that those weak and small tribes could only move to the depths of the grassland, as far away from the Nine Sides as possible.

The prairie is vast, endless, but there are many nomadic tribes in the prairie, the territory has long been divided, and the migration must enter the territory of others, which is called encroachment, conflict is inevitable, serious war, the prairie is a miasma, bloody wind and rain, Huang Taiji had to come forward, with the power of his Great Khan, to force the tribes to divide a little land, for those small tribes to live, so that those small tribes are grateful to Dade, but also let those tribes who cut meat dissatisfied.

The wolf thieves who fish in the muddy waters outside the customs are not just as simple as burning, killing and looting, they sometimes play a game of blame, pretending to be a warrior of a certain tribe, and go to loot a weak tribe in the middle of the night, intentionally or unintentionally missing one or two live mouths, as for whether this kind of blame game works or not, they don't bother to pay attention to it, as for rumors, divisive schemes or something are endless, regardless of whether he has any effect, let it out first.

There are many clans outside the Guan, and not all the tribes are willing to submit to Huang Taiji, these can be used to discord, and sending them some food or something will not affect the future plans of the empire.

There are also some small tribes who would rather die than surrender to move into the Guannai, Zhu Jian accepted it all, but he would not set aside a piece of land for them like the emperors of previous dynasties, but scattered to various places to settle, let them learn farming, it is a big deal to spend more money, take more effort to let them live in peace of mind, and after a few generations, they can integrate into the Ming Empire.

The young men of these tribes are all natural cavalry warriors, who have been selected and specially trained to join the wolf bandit group, which specializes in various raids and harassment of the Kanwai clans, so that they cannot graze and recuperate in peace.

In addition to Sun Chuanting's partial division staying in the hinterland of the empire in case of accidents, Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army and Cao Wenzhao's Guangping Army both expanded their troops to 10,000 people, and they were respectively stationed in the Nine Frontiers, obeying Hong Chengchou's command and dispatch, which greatly enhanced the defense of the Nine Sides.

At the same time, the army was also expanded by Lu Hongniang's Phoenix Legion, Li Xin's Shenji Battalion, and Gao Jie's Royal Guards Independent Battalion, all of which were expanded to more than 10,000 divisional troops, and the commanders of each army made every effort to train new soldiers, and then cut the old army when the time was ripe, replace the old army with the new army, defend the nine sides, and wait for the imperial strength to recover to a certain level before going out of the customs and fighting with the Jin army.

In the old army, the only army that allowed private control was Qin Liangyu's White Pole Army, Qin Liangyu took the initiative to write a letter, asking to be trained by the new army, her loyalty was not doubted, Zhu Jian was happy to push the boat, and sent some military instructors to carry out new military training for the White Pole Army, and sent over with the political and work officers who were carefully selected from the boy boy camp, received a period of further study, and were full of fanatical worship of the Son of Heaven, and placed them in the White Pole Army, and brainwashed the soldiers in various ways.

While engaging in military science and technology, Zhu Jian did not dare to forget civil production, all kinds of new policies for the benefit of the people, and invested countless money and grain to engage in various infrastructure for the benefit of the people, perhaps it was Zhu Jian's butterfly wing effect, or maybe it was his efforts, God was also merciful, and it rained again and again in various places, so that the people saw the hope and joy of a bumper harvest, and the whole Ming Dynasty began to glow with vitality.

Next, Zhu Jian once again raised the topic of opening the sea in the court.
