Chapter 166 Prosperity and Prosperity
After Gao Yiming returned to Luoyang, the imperial histories that were sent out to inspect the provinces before came back, and almost every road was arranged with a lot of problem officials, eighteen imperial histories, and a total of nearly 700 large and small officials were dealt with, which were all the legacy left by Chongzhen before going south, and many of them were still very difficult to dispose of, and many of them were solved with the cooperation of the local garrison.
After this combing, the local officials changed a batch, the local government decrees were unimpeded a lot, and the Ming Dynasty found that it gradually entered its heyday, at this time the Ming Dynasty due to the progress of science and technology, there have been a lot of spicy strips, potato strips and other snacks on the market, and the tips of the people are becoming more and more diversified.
In recent years, the Ming naval army has also been rapidly developed, Gao Yiming personally gave the name of the ocean-going fleet, a total of nine ironclad warships of various types, with the Ming merchant ships, the farthest has reached the Strait of Malacca, this steel giant really shocked the small maritime countries in the South China Sea, and sent envoys to Luoyang to worship and pay tribute.
Seeing the huge economic benefits brought by ocean-going warships, Gao Yiming ordered the three newer-generation ironclad warships that were on trial voyage to seize the time to enter service, open up the route to South India, drive Portugal away, occupy the Indian plain, and prepare for the next step of continuing westward expansion.
The entire war machine of the Ming Dynasty is running smoothly and at high speed, which is the dividend brought by mechanized large-scale production, which completely liberates people from heavy labor.
With the development of industry, the working mechanism of the four-six system has appeared, seven days a week, five days of work and two days off the work system has also appeared, with the process of industrialization continues to accelerate, the service industry has also been greatly developed, the earliest insurance companies took the lead in the factory, and social welfare security has appeared on the stage.
The development of industry will inevitably promote the prosperity of the catering industry and the entertainment industry, on both sides of the Luohe River, Qionglou Yuyu, the guests come and go day and night, Luoyang was built into a standard international metropolis by Gao Yiming, the city that never sleeps appeared, the warbler Yanyan, the lights are red and green, and the night does not stop.
At this time, the northwest frontier resurged, and the expanding Tsarist Russia in Europe continued to expand westward, while ambitiously wanting to go south and get involved in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so he spent a lot of effort to support Geldan, after years of development, Geldan recovered his vitality, and the weapons and equipment were also supported by Tsarist Russia, and made great progress, and the firearms began to appear in his army.
Geerdan, who became stronger, constantly clashed with the Ming army in Beiting, and at the same time sent people to secretly contact the countries of the Western Regions, instructing them to rise up against the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but the Western Regions under the governance of the Ming Dynasty's relaxed national policy, has become increasingly stable, and there are not many people who respond to it.
One route was led by his son Tengbar, from Ili directly over the Tianshan Mountains to the south, into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and then from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau into Yunnan, all the way he personally led, ready to march eastward from Zhunger, through Tsarist Russia, from Shanxi to the south, directly to Luoyang, the two armies each have more than 300,000, many of which are his prisoners in Central Asia, as well as staff officers invited from Tsarist Russia, which can be regarded as two coalition forces with many personnel.
The news reached Luoyang, Gao Yiming immediately dispatched troops to prepare to pacify Geldan in one fell swoop, and then stationed troops west of Ili to threaten the capital of Tsarist Russia, and at the same time the other road was ready to cross the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, enter the Indian plain westward, and coordinate with the ocean-going team to drive away Portugal.
A total of three road army, the north to meet the enemy is Wu Sangui and Aobai, the west is ready to copy Geerdan's nest is Li Dingguo and Ai Nengqi, the south road is Gao Jie, Ma Xianglin, the three road army each more than 20 finished, the main equipment AK47, Gatling, infantry chariots, grenades, mines are innumerable, now in the Ming army, horses have become camels to transport materials, of course, this can only be a supporting role, because the truck has been developed three years ago, and it is also driven by diesel, with the expansion of the arsenal again and again, Large trucks were equipped with almost every battalion of the Ming army, and the efficiency of material transportation was greatly improved.
In Wu Sangui's words, with the equipment in his hand now, he has the confidence to hit the sky. Although these words are arrogant, they have not fought for many years, and they train every day, so that a group of veterans and young generals are holding their breath, so this time when they heard that Geldan knocked on the side, they didn't need Gao Yiming to speak, and many soldiers took the initiative to write to ask for war.
This is what Gao Yiming likes to see, morale is very important, and many times, morale can directly determine the direction of a war.
So after receiving Gao Yiming's holy decree to send troops, the Ming army, which had been prepared for a long time, advanced far faster than Geldan imagined, and when his army was still in Tsarist Russia, he received a military report that the Ming army had passed through the grassland and entered the territory of Tsarist Russia.
