Chapter 203, the Ming Emperor arrives in the loyal city of Guangzhou

Zhu Daohua was already preparing to return to Guangzhou.

Because there won't be much war in Liaodong in winter.

Instead, he is more concerned about the situation on the other side of the Indian Ocean.

So in this winter, he will take the court ministers to Guangzhou City, the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, to spend the winter.

And before leaving Liaodong.

Zhu Daohua also had to make a final inspection of the preparations before Shanhaiguan.

After the Joseon king Li Zheng became a vassal in the above table, he conscripted tens of thousands of Korean laborers to the Liaodong Army in accordance with the holy decree of the Great Emperor.

Therefore, the problem of labor shortage in the Liaodong Army is temporarily solved.

It was part of a series of frontier fortifications built by the Ming army near Shanhaiguan.

Under the nose of the Qing army, a semi-permanent military village was built to hoard soldiers and horses.

Just waiting for the weather to warm up, relying on these fortifications that were almost under the noses of the defenders of the Qing army at Shanhaiguan to launch an attack.

In the face of the behavior of the Ming army, A Gui, the general of the Qing army in Shanhaiguan, turned a deaf ear, in fact, he had no choice, because if he wanted to organize the Ming army to build fortifications, he had to send a large army out of the customs, but in the field against the Ming army, A Gui was really a little unconfident.

So we had to let it go.

"Yes, we must finish the construction before it is completely frozen, and then send these tens of thousands of North Koreans back, otherwise the pressure on military rations will be too great."

Zhu Daohua rode on his horse and smiled at Peng Jun, who had just been transferred back from the front line.

Peng Jun was recalled of course because Zhu Daohua had left Liaodong, and he needed to appoint a corps commander of the Liaodong Army.

Peng Jun has made a great contribution this time.

The first battle defeated the Qing court's Eight Banners outside the Guan, killing more than 20,000 people, the Third Front Army directly advanced the front to Mukden, and after more than a month of fighting, the Qing Army had to give up Fengtian and go north, so that the area south of the line from Vladivostok to Mukden in northern Liaobei was included in the control of the Ming Dynasty.

There is credit for this.

Peng Jun was promoted to the commander of the Liaodong Army, and it was only natural that he became the governor of Liaodi after breaking through the Shanhai Pass.

"Judging from the current progress, there should be no problem." Peng Jun said with a smile, "At the beginning of spring next year, the army can be mobilized, although Shanhaiguan is full of fortresses, it is nothing more than a little delay." ”

Zhu Daohua nodded: "I am not worried that Shanhaiguan will be difficult to attack, but the Liaobei side will continue to drive the remnants of the Qing Tartar to the north of the Songhua River, and ensure that the area from Anshan to Fushun will completely become the rear and cannot be disturbed by the war." In addition, Fengtian and Shengjing will also be renamed, and they can't be called Fengtian and Shengjing. ”

"What the emperor said is very true, this Fengtian and Shengjing are the names taken by the Qing Dynasty, and the meaning is self-evident, since we have taken it back, we must not be able to call this name again."

Tao Biquan, the military advisor on the other side, said with a smile.

"Liaodi is Liaodong County at the time of the two lines, it is better to set up a Liaodong Province, and Fengtian is called Houcheng in the two Han Dynasty, which is the central part of Liaodong County, and belongs to Xuanwu County during the Three Kingdoms, and belongs to the Andong Protectorate "Shenzhou" during the Tang Dynasty. Why don't you restore the ancient name and call it Shenzhou Mansion? ”

"Liaodong Province, Shenzhou Mansion is not bad." Zhu Daohua said with a smile, it doesn't matter what the name is.

The key is to change the Mukden, which has a strong political connotation.

"Your Majesty, the land of Liaodong, if you want to talk about the importance of geographical location, you should focus on Shenzhou and Kuancheng, this Anshan Fushun is just a small place, why does the emperor value it so much."

Peng Jun asked.

"There is iron in Anshan, there is coal in Fushun, and it is not ordinary iron, not ordinary coal!"

Zhu Daohua said.

They are all iron-rich ores and coal mines with very low sulfur content.

The quality is probably the best in all of Asia, and it's not far off.

This will become another important heavy industry base for the Ming Empire.

It is the best in the world, and it can be compared to the industrial belt of the Ruhr area in Germany.

Of course, Zhu Daohua will pay attention to it.

This time, he returned to Guangzhou, in addition to paying attention to the war in South Asia.

Another important thing is to attract investment in the coal and iron industry belt in eastern Liaodong.

If you want to run an industry, you must first open mines, build roads, and invest in infrastructure construction in the early stage, especially in the land that has been barren for decades like Liaodong, if you want to develop it, the initial investment is not small.

Anshan iron, Fushun coal?

Peng Jun and Tao Biquan looked at each other, how did Emperor Zhu know about this?

He sent the brocade guard to check in advance?

Jin Yiwei is an intelligence agency, and he is not in charge of prospecting.

What's more, Anshan Fushun is surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, and it is not easy to enter for prospecting.

In this case.

Emperor Zhu was so sure that there were big iron mines and big coal mines in it?

This is too mysterious.

Both of them are Confucian students, so they naturally don't say anything.

But Emperor Zhu is also too godly

The two of them had a stomach full of doubts.

Emperor Zhu also did not explain.

How can he explain it?

Fortunately, he is now a dictator.

As he says, he just says what the people below do.

There is no need for explanation.

And when the Ming Emperor sailed south and headed for the city of Guangzhou.

Qianlong in the capital was furious when he got the news that Liu Yong had brought back.

"It's too much of a deception! It's just too deceitful! ”

Qianlong's face was black by Zhu Daohua's condition.

This is simply the condition for the destruction of the Manchurian Eight Banners, and it is strange that he can agree.

"Zhu Daohua, this is going to force my Eight Banners to death!"

Qianlong took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you can only fight first, if Shanhaiguan can withstand it, then everything is okay." He Shen sighed and said.

Can Shanhaiguan withstand it?

Not only He Shen, but even Qianlong himself didn't have much confidence.

I can only fight first, but fortunately, winter is coming soon, and there is still some time. ’

Qianlong said.

"In addition, send someone to invite the two living Buddhas, Zhangjia Hutuketu and Jebuzundanba Hutuketu, to the capital!"

Zhu Daohua paid attention to the heads of these two living Buddhas of the Yellow Sect, and made Qianlong realize that the current Mobei and Monan grasslands are of greater significance to the Qing Dynasty.

To some extent.

This was the retreat of the Qing Dynasty, or the passage of escape.

If the Ming army is blocked in the Central Plains, it will really be wiped out.

Frost has begun in Liaodong in November.

And there is still a slight heat wave in Guangzhou in November.

Zhu Daohua returned to Guangzhou in late November.

When His Majesty's ship of the Ming Emperor docked at the port of Guangzhou.

Almost all the well-known figures in Guangzhou came to the edge of the port.

Many people in the city of Guangzhou also flocked to the outskirts of the port, stretching their necks on their feet, hoping to catch a glimpse of the sky.

Now Guangzhou is definitely the most prosperous city in the world.

A large number of factories on both sides of the Pearl River estuary have attracted migrant workers from Guangdong, Guangxi, and even Fujian, Jiangxi, and Hunan.

The influx of a large number of people has led to the rising price of housing and land in Guangzhou.

Increases in house prices and land prices.

The direct beneficiary is, of course, the local Lao Guang in Guangzhou.

And the land-owned Lao Guang in Guangzhou was after the heroes of the Ming Dynasty.

The roots are red.

and made a fortune because of the rise in land prices.

When the local Guangguang people in Guangzhou mentioned His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, of course, they all had to give a thumbs up and proudly say that "our Guangdong is the land of Longxing of the new Ming Dynasty".

And now, the Cantonese bigwigs, who are generally bulging in their pockets, also rushed to tell each other when they heard that His Majesty the Emperor was going to be stationed in Guangzhou this winter.

The emperor's fellow villagers have not forgotten the folks of Guangdong, and the status of the southern capital of Guangzhou is not just symbolic.

This at least shows that Guangzhou's prosperity can be guaranteed.

Housing prices in Guangzhou will not fall!

And because the Son of Heaven is going to be stationed in Guangzhou in winter, there has been another wave.

This made Lao Guang's loyalty to the emperor more secure.

"It's coming, it's the regimental dragon flag."

"The Guards are down, hurry up, get out of the way!"

"When the son of tomorrow travels, the nobles bow their hands, and the commoners bow down!"

With the voice of the left-behind officials in the southern capital.

The regimental dragon flag, which symbolizes the Ming Emperor, first came down from the huge warship.

"Hooray! Long live our emperor! ”

The sound of the mountains and tsunami suddenly shook like thunder.

The officials who came to the port to greet them, the local Ming nobles in Guangzhou, and the local bigwigs who came to the port to see the excitement cheered.

To say that the people in the entire Ming Dynasty are the most loyal to the Son of Heaven.

The Cantonese people in Guangzhou must be on the top line.

In the midst of a shout of hooray.

Zhu Daohua stepped down from the battleship.

It's been almost a year.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has returned to the loyal Guangzhou.
