Jinzhou and Dalinghe completed the fortifications, and Jiannu still stood still?

When he received Xiong Tingbi's urgent secret recital, Zhu Youxiao was still quite surprised.

With so many artillery pieces prepared, I wanted to have a battle of Dalinghe that was different from history, and once again defeated Jiannu to lay a better foundation for this year's counteroffensive.

But Jiannu didn't seem to see it, so Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but complain: When did they become blind?

The expectation was disappointed, Zhu Youxiao was not disappointed, Jiannu suffered losses one after another in the battle, and he could still run into it stupidly again?

In fact, from this point of view, the old slave is still wise, and the emperor Taiji is a little manipulative. But we can't say who is higher and who is lower, we can only find the reason from their experience and mentality.

Jinzhou and Dalinghe are recovered, and the next step is Youtunwei and Guangning. The further eastward the advance, the longer the Ming army's supply lines, the more elaborate the planning and the more investment required.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the sand table and roughly estimated that it would take three or four months to prepare completely.

But when the emperor's eyes turned to southern Liaoning, he shook his head again and decided to continue to put pressure on Jiannu in western Liaoning. Even if it is not a solid occupation, it is necessary to send cavalry forward to the right garrison, and even Quang Ninh.

Next, weapons, equipment, personnel and materials will be tilted towards Dongjiang Town, especially the Ming Army, and the goal is to take at least two guards in southern Liaoning this year.

The Dongjiang headquarters also has a plan, and the small one is to harass Jiannu and strive for more Liao people to flee; The main purpose is to firmly occupy the Zhenjiang area and form a situation with Yiju and Tieshan to stand on the river.

Although it is said to be a four-way arrangement, the DPRK's military strength is too weak, and the siege and blockade are okay, and the attack is forgotten.

That is, now the Ming army has formed a favorable situation of siege on three sides. Whether it is launched at the same time, or one after another, it will make Jiannu fall into passivity, and even exhaustion.

If you are well, how is it to you?

Zhu Youxiao gently patted the wooden frame of the sand table and smiled very proudly.

Sanwei in southern Liaoning and the Zhenjiang area have almost forced Jiannu into the interior of Liaoshen. When the time comes, not to mention food and materials, even salt will make Jiannu unable to eat.

Thinking of salt, Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyes again.

In the middle of the summer, he had already served as a salt inspector and went to various salt farms to inspect in order to formulate more rigorous and scientific management methods and lay a good foundation for the introduction of the ticket salt law.

If it can be implemented smoothly, salt profit will be another big gain, and this year's financial situation will continue to improve.

The Imperial Bank is issuing silver dollars, and judging from the current number, the acceptance of merchants and the common people is very high, and the process of abolishing the two yuan should be much earlier than originally planned.

The action against officials and businessmen was also launched, and Zhu Youxiao was unceremonious to those who had a fluke mentality, and exile was already a standard punishment.

As for the input of glass products and mirrors, they flow into the inner warehouse. Although it is an internal money, Zhu Youxiao has never been stingy when it comes to spending money.

In addition, the clearing of arrears and leaks, as well as the success of clearing and replenishing salaries, the food and salary of the border army were also guaranteed, and there was even a lot of surplus.

For more than a year, the reform introduced by the emperor was finally implemented under the deterrence of heavy punishment and beheading. Although there are still shortcomings and blind spots, great results have been seen.

Zhu Youxiao also knew that the damaged interest groups were resentful, and even secretly prepared to resist.

can fight with the emperor who is out of the way, with a knife in hand, and the most important thing is that he can not even have a face. It should be very appropriate to use the idiom of "mantis arm as a car" to describe it.

While suppressing the old interest group, Zhu Youxiao also supported another interest group. This interest group is dominated by the three major chambers of commerce, as well as officials and officials who have benefited from the reform.

This is a group that supports the emperor and is in favor of reform, and it will also continue to grow in size and become a powerful assistant against the old interest groups.

And with the support of the emperor, the new forces will eventually crush the old clique and crush it completely.

I'm not alone!

Zhu Youxiao thought of Shen Tingyang, thought of Xia Zhongshi, thought of Li Dan, Yan Siqi, Wu Dazhang, and also thought of the court and local capable officials.

This is only a civil official, and many military generals are even more subdued by him, closely united around the emperor, made meritorious achievements, and aspired to be a marquis.

"The Emperor-" Wang Tiqian entered the palace with a habitual flattering smile, "Concubine Yu Niangniang was summoned to come and was waiting outside the palace. ”

After a pause, Wang Tiqian added: "The slave didn't let the maid get off the sedan chair, and asked the emperor not to punish him." ”

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Wang Ban has done a good job. So saying, he walked to the gate of the temple. Lao Wang followed him diligently, and thoughtfully put on a fur coat for the emperor at the palace gate.

Walking outside the hall, Zhu Youxiao came to the sedan chair, signaled the palace people to open the sedan curtain, and saw Zhang Yu'er with a foot stove under his feet and a sleeve stove in his arms.

Zhang Yuer pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, and walked out with the palace people in her arms. is already pregnant, and with a thick fur, it looks even more bloated.

"Be careful." Wang Tiqian told the palace maid beside him.

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his finger and said with a smile: "Let's go, look at Xiaobai, and there is a litter of cubs." ”

Zhang Yuer's body became heavier and heavier, and she walked around the palace less, and when she heard the emperor say that Xiaobai was born, she didn't say it, but she wanted to come and see it.

Zhu Youxiao could see that it was not easy to bring all the cats, so he summoned Zhang Yuer to come and watch.

Xiaobai's first shovel officer is also a mother who is going to be a mother, and Zhu Youxiao is basically obedient.

But Zhang Yuer is a person who knows the importance and never makes excessive demands. Sometimes I think about it, but I don't say it.

Zhu Youxiao led Zhang Yuer into the warm pavilion, and Li Chengcheng hurriedly greeted him.

"It's you!" Zhang Yuer still remembered this palace maid who sold goods in the royal shop, smiled and nodded, and then looked away to find the cats she hadn't seen for a long time.

Li Chengcheng stepped forward to support Zhang Yu'er and led him to a corner of the warm pavilion, where the cat tree and cat nest were located.

Zhang Yu'er saw at a glance that Xiaobai was lying lazily in the nest, and a few hairy balls were snuggling up to it, sleeping or arching.

When Ye Hei saw the living person, he arched his body and watched vigilantly.

Zhang Yu'er smiled so much that her eyes were bent into crescents, but she didn't make too much noise, sat down in the chair brought by the palace people, and looked at it intently.

Meow! Ye Hei made a dissatisfied voice, as if he was very unhappy with the fact that the living people looked at his wife and children like this.

"Hehe, you don't know me anymore." Zhang Yu'er stretched out her hand and nodded, and said with a smile: "At Concubine Liang's place, or did I hold Xiaobai and you know?" ”

Xiaobai lazily turned his head, although it was a long time, he still recognized the shovel officer, and let out a gentle cry, as if he was greeting.

"Xiaobai is amazing!" Zhang Yu'er looked at Xiaobai enviously and fondly, and praised: "I gave birth to six at once!" ”

Meow! Xiaobai screamed, as if he could understand.

From Xiaobai's cry, Ye Hei could distinguish intimacy, and his vigilant demeanor relaxed.

Zhang Yuer looked at Xiao Maotuan'er one by one, her favorite expression couldn't be hidden, and the smile on her face was happier and warmer.

"Mother, this is their ranking." Li Chengcheng presented a piece of paper to Zhang Yu'er.

Oh, Zhang Yuer was stunned for a moment, and then took it and looked at it, it turned out to be the eldest and second eldest of the little hairy groups according to their characteristics and birth order.

"You're so careful." Zhang Yuer looked at Li Chengcheng and praised it, and then looked for the features on the paper in the little hairy ball, and laughed cheerfully from time to time.

A little hairy ball closed his eyes and crawled to the edge of the nest.

"Put it back in." Zhang Yuer stretched out her hand and pointed, for fear of falling to the ground, although the cat nest was not high from the ground at all.

Li Chengcheng hurriedly hugged the little guy to his mother again, Zhang Yuer glanced at the paper and chuckled: "You are the youngest, and you are the most dishonest." ”

Zhu Youxiao only looked at the side, and then entered the inner room of the warm pavilion, but the sound outside could still be heard clearly.

Zhang Yuer's love is from the heart, and Zhu Youxiao actually doesn't have much resistance to the cute little hairy ball.

Listening to the cheerful laughter of his daughter-in-law, Zhu Youxiao was also infected, smiling and thinking: When she gives birth to a child and is willing to raise it, she will hug one.

There were a few books on the bookcase, and Zhu Youxiao took one casually and flipped through it.

Hu Yingtai, the governor of Liangguang, is very old, and has served as the deputy envoy of the military department, the deputy envoy of the Jiangxi Judicial Department, and the secretary of the imperial servant.

During his tenure as governor of Liangguang, Hu Yingtai also did a good job and ensured the safety of the southern part of the Ming Dynasty.

And this note is Hu Yingtai's reply to the emperor's inquiry. The first is the plan and progress of the development of Hainan Island, followed by the situation of Annam and Zhancheng.

Zhu Youxiao not only inquired about Hu Yingtai, but also collected intelligence from the maritime merchants who went to the South Seas, and ordered the Zhenfu Division to send Jinyiwei to spy on it.

From the beginning of subduing maritime merchants and purchasing grain from the Nanyang countries, Zhu Youxiao set his sights on those small countries.

Champa is famous for its Zhancheng rice, which was introduced from Songcheng, which can be said to have survived countless lives, and also supported the population growth of the Chinese people.

Historically, Annan was known for being unruly and capricious.

In the fifth year of Yongle, because Annan attacked the Ming Dynasty and occupied the country, Chengzu Ming Chengzu sent Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu to crusade against the Hu Dynasty in Vietnam and destroyed it in one fell swoop.

In the sixteenth year of Yongle, the Vietnamese Le Le raised an army against the Ming Dynasty, and established the Hou Li Dynasty in the tenth year, officially breaking away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, the Later Lê Dynasty also exists only in name, and Annam has formed a situation of confrontation between South Nguyen and North Zheng.

The northern Zheng was strong, and the southern Ruan was slightly worse, so they invaded and expanded to the south from time to time, and often saw sword soldiers with the Champa state. The Champa state was struggling to support itself and had little power to fight back.

Zhu Youxiao is not ready to use swords for the time being, and the consumption of multi-front operations is not what the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty can bear.

However, based on the intelligence of all parties and the vision of Zhu Youxiao's later generations, he found that the current Mekong Delta is still an undeveloped and desolate land.

In the future, it will be the world's largest rice producing area, and for Zhu Youxiao, who wants to accumulate grain and prepare for famine, simplicity is a gift from heaven.

Heaven bestows it, sin and sin!

Since it is a wasteland, whoever occupies it belongs to whomever it is. With the newly built sailors, as well as the army from the south, and even armed immigrants, they were able to occupy that fertile and rich land.

As long as there is enough labor, develop and grow rice there. Daming is equivalent to having a stable and high-yield grain base, and it is more certain to survive the famine during the Xiaoice period.

The input cost is not high, and it is almost impossible to use too much force, mainly the initial investment in the resettlement of migrants.

Zhu Youxiao was thinking about how to add another piece of territory to Daming and another naval base. This is an inconspicuous place in the eyes of others, but it has become the first step for Zhu Youxiao to begin to expand.

Picking up the pen, Zhu Youxiao brushed a little bit and wrote a reply to Hu Yingtai.

Geographically, the two Guangxi will play an important role in this operation. However, judging from the income of the two Guangzhous, it is not enough to support it.

But if you replace the immigrants with an army, you can not only fight wars, but also open up wasteland and farm, but you can save a lot of money and food. According to the harvest of Champa rice, as long as one year, it can be self-sufficient; In the second year, it will be able to export a surplus.

Three thousand troops with their families, the number of the first batch should be fine. Of course, there should be incentives, and it should be acceptable to give three out of ten, and make immigrants quite enthusiastic, right?

Well, the navy has invested so much that it should do some work so that I can see the money back!

Zhu Youxiao wrote a reply to Hu Yingtai, and wrote while thinking about it, and formulated the general plan. Although it still needs to be discussed and improved, with this vision, it is already unrivaled.

The sound of gentle footsteps interrupted Zhu Youxiao's thoughts, and when he looked up, Zhang Yuer walked in with Li Chengcheng's support.

"The Emperor." Zhang Yuer bowed her head and said that she would give a gift, because she didn't dare to disobey the emperor's will, and Shi Quanli would make the emperor angry again.

Zhu Youxiao put down his pen, got up to greet him, sat on the bed with his daughter-in-law, waved his hand, and waved Li Chengcheng away.

"Xiaobai is amazing." Zhang Yu'er felt the emperor's hand around her waist, pursed her lips and smiled, "The kittens are all cute." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "When you finish giving birth, raise your body, and hold one if you want a kitten." ”

Zhang Yuer looked at the emperor in surprise, and couldn't believe that there was such a good thing for a while.

"Cats are not good for pregnant women, so I won't let you keep them." Zhu Youxiao patted Zhang Yuer's little hand and said with a smile: "When you have your own child, maybe you won't have the idea of raising a cat." ”

Zhang Yu'er lowered her head, stroked her high bulging belly, and said softly with happiness in her shame: "The concubine has thought about it, the little cat is cute, and she won't take it back." ”

Zhu Youxiao let out a "hmm", a little strange, reached out and picked up Zhang Yuer's chin, and asked, "Why, I liked it so much just now, so eager!" ”

Zhang Yu'er suddenly fanned her big eyes and said faintly: "If the kitten leaves her mother, she won't recognize it in the future, right?" Xiaobai will be very sad if he has no children. ”

Zhu Youxiao really didn't think about it so much, in the memory of his previous life, weren't all kittens and dogs bought casually and taken home casually? How can you still think of the feelings of the kitten, and the sadness and sadness of the mother cat?

What a kind woman, Zhu Youxiao nodded, caressing Zhang Yuer's bulging belly, proud and glad that he had such a daughter-in-law, and also felt happy for the child in his belly.
