Chapter 224: Untitled
After listening to the sprint lecture, there is still a week to go, and I will enter the training of doing questions. Cheer yourself on, and ask for your understanding.
................................... divider......................................
The factors on the battlefield are dynamic, and the advantages and disadvantages are also changing with each other.
The Haicheng River is a clear example of this, hindering the Jiannu and facilitating the advance of the Ming army; But after pushing across the Haicheng River, there were disadvantageous aspects for the Ming army.
But this disadvantage, for Zhu Youxiao, tends to expand. After all, he did not experience a real battlefield, not as much experience as a front-line commander.
If you look at it from Xiong Tingbi, the Haicheng River is neither wide nor urgent, and with the ability of the Ming army, it is not difficult to build a pontoon bridge.
Of course, tens of thousands of horses are moving forward, and the transportation and supply of grain and grass materials will definitely increase a lot of pressure. So, he also needs some time to prepare thoroughly.
Similarly, Mao Wenlong is also deploying troops and making preparations.
If calculated in this way, Zhu Youxiao felt that the time for the two launches would not be too far from the beginning of autumn. If they can achieve results and form a more favorable situation, it will not affect the two of them to report on their work in Beijing.
The mustard between the two is also a matter that Zhu Youxiao is worried about. Pingliao reached a critical period, and by going to Beijing to report on his work, Zhu Youxiao also wanted to take the opportunity to untie it, so that the generals could work together and make all the achievements.
If it weren't for the approaching catastrophe, Zhu Youxiao would not be in a hurry to achieve a decisive victory in Liaodong.
According to the current military situation, the four guards in southern Liaoning have accounted for third. In the long run, the construction of slaves and the shrinkage of Liao Shen is just another way to sit back and wait for death.
The land of Siwei in southern Liaoning is fertile, rich in grain, and before the Jin Dynasty betrayed the Ming Dynasty, "the slave village is densely forested, and the arable land is small, and all the rice and millet are taken to the Jin Fu Haigai."
And "Liaozuo went eastward, and the remaining soldiers gathered more gold and restored the sea, and burned ore for business." They are all good at shooting and riding, risking arrows and stones, and they are different from the people in the city. And after a long frustration, I feel more excited, and I will use it to charge."
It can be seen that the land of Siwei is a very economically rich and strategically important area for the entire eastern Liaodong region.
Now that the three guards are in hand, Haizhou has also become a place for confrontation and competition between the two armies, and Jiannu can no longer get the supplement of grain, grass, rice and millet from this place.
As expected, the Jiannu, who had not received the looting harvest for two years, will fall into a situation of food shortage this winter. With each day of delay, the situation gets worse.
In fact, this is also an important reason why Zhu Youxiao insisted on launching an offensive next winter and spring. As long as the offensive is sustained, it will take a few months to run out of supplies.
The so-called "self-destruction without food" is, of course, an exaggeration. But it was predictable that Jiannu was torn apart and in trouble.
"Your Majesty-" Zhang Yan gave the somewhat absent-minded emperor a dish, and said with a smile: "This is a small dish pickled by the concubine and the palace people, it is refreshing and appetizing, and the concubine likes it very much." ”
Zhu Youxiao came back to his senses, nodded, and said with a smile: "Listening to the palace people's report, the treasure beads were very happy before the month, but they have been less recently." Could it be that this little dish is the work? ”
Zhang Yan heard that the emperor had been paying attention, and called her nickname, she was very happy in her heart, and said: "Your Majesty Lao is worried, and the concubine thinks that this small dish is indeed meritorious." Well, there is also Doctor Yang, who is also doing his best. ”
"Reward!" Zhu Youxiao smiled, looked at the queen again, and said with a smile: "Baozhu is pregnant, and it looks more round and beautiful." ”
As he spoke, the emperor lowered his salty pig hand, hid it under the table, and pinched it on the queen's thigh.
Zhang Yan's face turned red, and she unconsciously protected her lower abdomen with one hand, and pressed the emperor's big pig's trotters with the other, showing a shy and happy look.
Teasing, up and down, taking advantage, is also a kind of relaxation.
At least, after lunch, after Zhu Youxiao took a nap with the queen in his arms, and then returned to the Qianqing Palace, his mood was very different.
The palace is majestic and magnificent, covering an extremely large area. But for the emperor, living in it for a long time is not much fun.
To put it mildly, the palace is like a cage, so that the emperor and the people in the palace are not free.
The emperor's feelings about this were even stronger, and seeing that others did not care, or even enjoyed it, he also did not understand it.
This is life, everyone is shackled by their own life, where is absolute freedom?
What kind of status you are in, what kind of life you live, you all have troubles and unsatisfactory. But if you want to get rid of it completely, you will feel that it is not as good as before.
Siege, marriage is like this, life is like this, I'm afraid there are no exceptions.
The emperor sat back on the dragon chair, Li Chengcheng had already stepped forward to wipe the sweat beads on his face with a warm towel, and Fan Xiaohui held tea.
Be satisfied, being an emperor and complaining, how do you let others live?
Zhu Youxiao comforted himself, ordered someone to draw up a decree, and praised the female doctor Yang Hanyi. After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Youxiao issued another decree to add a rank of civil lord to Li Dan, Yan Siqi, Tang Mo, Shao Hanliang, etc., and give Guiyu a reward.
Although there are legitimate reasons for the beheading and raiding of the eight families, Zhu Youxiao is still worried that it will have an adverse impact on the development of industry and commerce.
Will there be rumors that the emperor and the court are thinking that the emperor and the court are trying to cut leeks and wool, and clean up the rich and businessmen one by one. If you have no money, you will make up a crime to rob your house and plunder money.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao will have punishments and rewards. Not only the heads of the major chambers of commerce are knighted, but also a group of civil lords are ready to be awarded, demonstrating the importance and praise of the imperial court to the volunteer businessmen and workers.
For the loyal and patriotic righteous businessmen and hard-working warriors, the court is not stingy, and the emperor is not stingy. Those who have contributed to the country and the people are remembered by the imperial court, and the emperor has not forgotten them.
As for the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce, it has not been recognized by the imperial court for a long time, and it has not made any achievements. This time the knighthood is also an incentive for them. After all, in the future, the Yangtze River shipping will be crucial to disaster relief in the north.
"Chengcheng-" Zhu Youxiao suddenly remembered something, stretched out his hand to summon Li Chengcheng in front of him, and asked, "Your father is currently in the position of internal library manager?" ”
"Back to the emperor, exactly." Li Chengcheng bowed and replied truthfully.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "I know." ”
Li Chengcheng didn't know why, and guessed that it might be some other errand for the emperor, but he couldn't ask, so he bowed down and retreated.
The emperor casually picked up the question book from the table and flipped through it.
The question book was submitted in the middle of the summer, the officials have completed the training, and the Changlu salt field has been properly arranged, so please ask for the time of implementation of the "ticket salt law".
Zhu Youxiao didn't think about this for too long, so he decided to start issuing the decree to implement it.
This is already a definite thing, and it has been weighed and calculated repeatedly. Starting from the north, it did not directly touch the two Huai salt administrations, as a pilot, there is no need to worry too much.
For the policy of the Ming Dynasty, for the people of the Ming Dynasty, this is another change! At least, the price of salt can be reduced, which is a good thing for the people.
The emperor sighed with emotion and wrote a reply.
