Chen Yongfu was shocked when he heard this, "The emperor wants to recover his homeland?"

Chongzhen nodded, "Yes!"

"The last general will make every effort to pacify Fujian, and then go to the southwest."

Chongzhen smiled, "Okay, it's good if you have this heart. I have my own verdict on the selection of people from the southwest, so you don't have to think about it."

"Yes."

"By the way, I know that your son Chen De's martial arts are good, so let him follow me in the future."

Chen Yongfu's face quickly filled with an excited expression, and he knelt down again, "Emperor Xie raises love!"

"Go back and get ready."

Chen Yongfu respectfully stepped back, Chongzhen sat back on the dragon case, and opened another map.

couldn't help but say, "It's still Chengzu who is powerful, not only has he set up 8 Propaganda Divisions in the southwestern border, but he has also set up the Annan Political Division, and he directly controls there.

It's a pity that I lost it later."

Chongzhen looked down at the map, "Hmm, there's also the Old Port Propaganda Division in Sumatra.

Unfortunately, these places were later lost.

However, since I have crossed over, I will definitely take it back again."

……

On the second day, Chongzhen issued a holy decree to entitle Chen Yongfu to conquer the southern general, lead an army of 50,000 to conquer Fujian in the south, and pacify the Lingnan lands.

At the same time, it was announced that He Tengjiao would be the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, and that he would be the deputy marshal, and that 50,000 troops would be sent to Sichuan. Yunnan Muwangfu sent 20,000 troops, and Qin Liangyu of Shiqi sent 10,000 troops to assist the general of Zhengxi to pacify the southwest.

Ten days later, Cheng Yongfu's army of 50,000 marched towards Fujian.

15 days later, He Tengjiao also led 30,000 elite dragons to the west, pointing at Chengdu.

When He Tengjiao received the holy decree, he was very surprised.

After all, he was a scholar of Dongge University and the governor of Huguang personally appointed by Emperor Hongguang, and he was the Dingxing Bo of the puppet imperial court.

You must know that after Hongguang was designated as the puppet emperor, most of the officials he was appointed were withdrawn, and even a considerable part was assigned to Liaodong.

And He Tengjiao and Du Yinxi are the only two officials who retain their titles.

At this moment, the two of them got such a big "errand" out of thin air, which simply shocked everyone's jaws.

The two are also grateful to Dade and vowed to serve Chongzhen.

They already knew all of Chongzhen's ideas, and they all secretly admired Chongzhen's eloquence, but it was too difficult at this time, and they only hoped that they could help Emperor Chongzhen achieve their goals in their lifetime.

This is more than 3,000 miles, and even if there is no war, it will take 4 months, which is quite hard.

In addition, after pacifying Sichuan, he had to go south to Burma, only to the border area of Yunnan, which was 3,000 miles, not to mention that after the southern conquest of Burma, he would go to war in the southwest miasma, and there would be 3,500 miles away.

The hardships and dangers involved in this are not something that ordinary people can bear.

He Tengjiao didn't care about this, and even regarded it as very easy.

Although in this era, the generals are yearning for this kind of overwhelming long-distance conquest. Confucianism has never resisted the expansion of territory.

Moreover, the combat power of the Beijing camp is so strong, no matter who leads the army, it will be invincible, it is simply a vain battle achievement.

It is because everyone envies He Tengjiao's good luck.

Chongzhen looked at the map and deduced the route of the march, but he was also a little worried, such a long march, the logistical pressure was very great.

In fact, he didn't intend to go out from Nanjing, but there was no way, he really had no troops available.

The original Shanxi soldiers are now scattered in the vast area from Juyong Pass and Tongguan in the east, Jiayuguan and Lanzhou in the west, to the edge of the grassland in the north, and to the Hanzhong Plain in the south.

Although Li Yutian and Ma Shiying's 120,000 troops could divide most of them to the south, they were now far away in Mongolia and were really not suitable for long-distance mobilization.

In addition, Chongzhen intended to move westward and attack Junggar near the Tianshan Mountains, so there was no idea of mobilizing the Li and Ma armies now.

Liaodong Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses were farther away, and they also shouldered the heavy responsibility of entering the Luo wilderness in the north, and they could not be transferred casually.

At present, while Chen Yongfu is marching south to Fujian, the elite troops he can use are only these 30,000 people.

Watching the army go west, Chongzhen fixed his body and asked Wen Xuan beside him, "How is our business?"

When Chongzhen planned the war, he did not forget business for a moment, after all, in his planning, commercial taxes and customs duties were an indispensable part of Zhongxing Daming.

"It's spread all over Jiangnan."

"What's the most profitable store? Mirror shop? Or a drink shop?" Chongzhen is interested in making money.

Wen Xuan shook his head, "It's not a mirror shop, it's a hot pot restaurant and a training school."

"Oh?"

"Our hot pot restaurant is overcrowded every day, and it's hard not to make a profit.

The training school is even more popular, and the Jiangnan Shi clan heard that our school is training for science exams, and after a little investigation, they sent their nephews to the clan.

After all, not all students are suitable for the Four Books and the Five Classics."

Chongzhen smiled, "The training course is really a good project in ancient and modern China and abroad."

"I remember that our tuition fees are very high, are they not too expensive?"

Wen Xuan also smiled, "Looking at the popularity of the registration, this tuition fee can be doubled!"

Chongzhen waved his hand, "Forget it, the school is not opened to make money, it is mainly to popularize science, it's just that you explain to the person in charge that you must train more teachers and spread the branch schools in every prefecture and county!"

In addition, our hot pot restaurants, mirror shops, perfume shops, and other profitable projects must pass on the recipes to the craftsmen as soon as possible, especially the hot pot base recipes, cola recipes, and cream recipes, which are all simple and easy to learn, and must be passed on!

In the future, we will help them to set up their own doors and spread out their branches, so that these things can become a part of the daily life of the people of the Ming Dynasty, rather than the exclusive property of dignitaries and wealthy merchants."

Wen Xuan grew up in the people, experienced the hardships of the people, and heard that Chongzhen attached so much importance to the lives of the people, and even did not hesitate to give up such huge profits in order to improve the lives of the people, and admired it in his heart.

said in a loud voice: "The minister understands, the minister will definitely release these new things as soon as possible."

Chongzhen nodded, sensing that Wen Xuan still had something to say, and asked, "What else do you have in mind?"

"I want to say, can we print those secret recipes into books and sell them in bookstores, so that they will spread faster!"

"That's a good idea, go ahead and do it!"

Chongzhen knew that in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the society was relatively stable, the urban transportation was developed, the commercialization of agricultural products and the handicraft industry were very prosperous, and a huge commercial network had been formed.

At that time, Nanjing, Beijing, Northwest and North-South Grand Canal were all large commercial cities and commercial zones, and a number of new small and medium-sized cities appeared in and around the ancient cities, and a large number of emerging commercial cities such as Qingjiangpu, Jiningzhou, Linqingzhou, Tianjinwei, and Hexiwu appeared.

Private trade activities are carried out on a regular basis. at the state and county level, there are five or six per month; two or three per month in townships; Fucheng has one episode per day; In some places, there are Yaowang temple fairs; To the north of the Huai River and to the east of the Qin and Jin Dynasties, merchants from all parties transported goods and entered the city as a city.
