"Beiping will be defeated."

"Self-defeating."

"Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, fighting in three places, but also guarding against Shandong and Henan, only relying on how to support Beiping alone."

In the past three months, the atmosphere in Ying Tianfu has become delicate.

I don't know when it began, but suddenly there was a remark that the Beiping model was correct, and that one place could confront the whole country, which was precisely the advanced nature of the Beiping model.

Huang Zicheng was furious, and in the line of the emperor's grandson, he repeatedly rebuked such remarks, and counted the reasons for the defeat of Beiping.

The hearts of men must not be scattered.

"Huang Changqing, I heard that something happened in Beiping." Yushi Jingqing muttered: "On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month of May, that is, the day before the Beiping blitz attack on Taiyuan, a big meeting was held, which was attended not only by civil and military officials, but also by ordinary people, commercial houses, health offices, and artisan households. ”

Huang Zicheng gritted his teeth and scolded with a distorted face: "This is a traitor, a traitor." ”

Before the Qing Dynasty, the social atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was in the direction of confrontation with imperial power, and the later it was, the more severe the idea of imperial power.

Including the germination of capitalism in the Jianghuai region, the birth of many civic ideas, advanced ideas and so on.

Not only in terms of ideological progress, but also at the social level, the imperial power is also in great decline, and the local government will not regress because of the imperial power, such as the Wanli period, the great victory of the citizens and miners in the Jianghuai region against taxes.

This is exactly the precondition that later scholars have studied for Britain to take the lead in the industrial revolution.

The workshops, capital, raw materials, employers, and employees in the Jianghuai region are all excellent, and they are more abundant than those in Britain, where the first industrial revolution took place.

And there are a large number of markets, which also proves the development of the folk literacy rate.

The Ming Dynasty's support for local social studies, and even the enactment of local laws punishing the father of eight-year-old children for not studying, was such an advanced society that could not be compared with Western societies of the same period.

But unlike Britain, Daming at that time was at the peak of the Xiaoice period, and because of advanced agricultural technology and long-term social stability, the population exploded, while the drought-resistant high-yield crops in the Americas were not promoted, internal and external troubles, the imperial court accumulated a hundred years of evil, etc., coupled with fierce court infighting.

A society that falls into the "population trap" is already an unsolvable social problem, not to mention many fatal problems.

The demise of the Ming Dynasty was inevitable, but the death of the world was accidental, and it was the greatest sorrow of the Chinese nation.

In a word.

The big discussion in Beiping not only won the support of southern businessmen, but also many scholars began to discuss.

Jing Qing is one of these people.

This iron-faced imperial history, the scholar who hated Beiping the most at the beginning, is now a little confused, and the more he knows about Beiping, the more overwhelmed he becomes.

And Huang Zicheng is the most unacceptable.

In his heart, the imperial grandson is the real heir to the imperial power, and the prince of Beiping Yan actually relied on a new way to obtain the famous weapon of the monarchy.

"As long as we persevere, don't look at Beiping is unstoppable now, but it can't last, and it will inevitably be decadent."

The huge Yingtianfu has gathered more than 300,000 troops, and there is the supply of the entire Ming Dynasty, but the warehouses of the imperial court are still declining greatly.

"Liaodong, Daning, Kaiping, Beiping, Shanxi, Shanxi Xingdusi, Shaanxi, and Shaanxi Xingdusi are all in need of grain supply from the south."

"Now most of the area is in the hands of Yan Shizi in Beiping, which looks very strong, but how can food be guaranteed? On the other hand, we have saved a lot of food, and it is not a problem to feed another 500,000 soldiers. ”

Qi Tai hasn't spoken since he was last denied.

Hearing Huang Zicheng's words, the corners of Qi Tai's mouth moved, and he wanted to say a word or two, but in the end he held back.

Sage.

He will not betray.

But he couldn't bear to watch the imperial grandson being kept in the dark, and these days he became very haggard, looking as if he was sick.

Not only Huang Zicheng's statement has been recognized by many people.

The huge northern border needs countless grains from the south every year, and isn't this how Caohe came from, transporting grain from the south to the north.

The lack of food in the north is the biggest shortcoming, and the longer it lasts, the more unfavorable it is for Beiping.

Although Huang Zicheng said that he was a bit bookish and took it for granted, there was still some truth in Beiping's self-defeating words.

Unless Beiping gathers a large army and moves south quickly, there seems to be no sign of Beiping moving south.

In a word.

In this battle between the grandfathers and grandsons of the old Zhu family, the movements on both sides are quite strange.

Ying Tianfu Palace.

The Bauhinia City in Beiping in the future is the imitation of the Imperial City of Nanjing.

The Imperial City is huge.

Zhu Di lives in the imperial city, except for Zhu Yuanzhang and the eunuchs who take care of their daily lives, no one knows how Zhu Di is.

Guo Ying, who was in charge of the forbidden army, was ordered to enter the palace.

Guo Ying is seven years younger than Zhu Yuanzhang, and she is one of the two people who are still alive among the current founding dukes, which shows her prestige and status.

The Guo family is indeed very high.

The second-generation daughter is the princess of Liao, and the third-generation daughter is the princess of the Yan king, if the country does not change, the Guo family will become one of the top nobles.

"Sage."

"Guo Ying."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very enthusiastic, and the enthusiastic Guo Ying was heavy in his heart, and quietly looked at King Yan who was smiling next to him.

The two fathers and sons were smiling, but Guo Ying couldn't laugh.

"Let's go to the Southwest." Zhu Yuanzhang patted Guo Ying's shoulder.

"I listen to the saints."

Guo Ying did not resist.

"The southwest is important, my Ming Dynasty's road to enlightenment is long, and it takes time to educate those uncivilized tribes."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who kills without permission.

This one is true.

What he likes is to gradually incorporate the tribal sub-regions of the border areas into the territory of the Ming Dynasty through the means of education and material subsidies.

Yunnan is not just the Yunnan of later generations.

In later generations, Burma, Laos and other regions did not form a state, but many tribes lived and plundered each other.

Even in later generations, there were still many tribes in these countries, and they were not stable and unified countries.

And three proclamations and six consolations.

Not only in the southern part of Yunnan, but also in Mubang, Burma, Babai Dadian, Laos and other regions, many tribes received tribute from the Ming Dynasty.

All belong to the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, but the Hongwu Dynasty has not yet changed its land and returned to the stream, and it belongs to the stable stage.

The closer the tribes are to Yunnan, the deeper they are indoctrinated, and on the contrary, they still retain their tribal wildness, sometimes self-reliant and sometimes submissive.

In the ancient agricultural society with low productivity, Zhu Yuanzhang's autonomy is truly unswerving.

Even after the Qing Dynasty fell into the colonial era, those areas still firmly guarded the southwestern gate of China, rather than standing on their own, because everyone thought they were Chinese.

If a person living in the mainland does not consider himself a Chinese in his heart, then he is indeed not a Chinese.

Contrarily.

No matter where he lives in the world, as long as he thinks that he is Chinese, then he is Chinese.

In the current period, Zhu Yuanzhang has not forgotten the southwest.

Mu Ying is dead.

Yang Wen was transferred out of Yunnan, and now he decided to send Guo Ying over to guard the southwest for the Ming Dynasty.

The southwest is not a good place at the moment.

Barren and barren, the living environment is poor, and there is no entertainment.

At that time, the king of Qin was reluctant to go to Shaanxi.

Now to go to the southwest, it is really to do dedication, not to enjoy, because there is no environment for enjoyment at all.

Guo Ying felt that he would die of old age in Yunnan, but Guo Ying did not refuse.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but take Guo Ying's hand, looking at this old subordinate who followed him back then, and felt full of emotion in his heart.

Guo Ying left.

Replacing Guo Ying is Geng Bingwen.

The two other living meritorious deeds of the founding of the country at the moment are six years younger than Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Meet the saint, meet the king of Yan."

Geng Bingwen took over the forbidden army and also met with King Yan in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't explain much, but just asked Geng Bingwen to do things well, firmly guard Yingtianfu, and don't let Xiaoxiao make trouble.

Compared with Guo Ying, Geng Bingwen is a little straightforward.

After Zhu Yuanzhang waited for Geng Bingwen to leave, he said to Zhu Di: "Bingwen can use it with confidence, don't worry about handing over the place to him, but this person is not adaptable enough to deal with complex situations, and he can't take charge alone." ”

Zhu Di is a person who knows the soldiers, has led the army many times, and has achieved a lot of results, so far there has been no defeat, through Zhu Yuanzhang's introduction, I have a little understanding of the current generals.

Ying Tianfu has changed a lot.

Many people don't think so, after all, they have to build coastal defense, they have to set up a naval division, and hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered in Yingtianfu.

Personnel transfers are as usual.

As for Guo Ying.

His son returned to Beiping, and his granddaughter was still the princess, and the transfer of him by the sage did not arouse suspicion.

"I haven't seen it for many years, but the capital is getting more and more prosperous."

The capital with a population of one million, although not as new as Beiping City, is more huge, and the market is also very lively.

Several men in military uniforms led their horses behind.

Several generals were transferred from Shandong.

"I miss the saint so much." A man in his thirties sighed.

"General Heian will soon be able to see the saint." The companions next to him laughed.

Ping An is Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son.

His father died in battle in his early years, he was adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang, and now he is the commander of Jining Wei, and his reputation in the army is not obvious.

Batches of generals entered Beijing.

Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan, etc., mainly from Shandong, extracted the elite generals from Shandong and added them to the forbidden army.

The King of Qi in Shandong was puzzled.

"What does Father mean by this? Dispatch all the fierce generals of Lone, how can Lone fight against Beiping? ”

"The fifth brother of Henan is an unbearable person, Shandong and Henan are such important areas, how can the father only care about himself."

King Qi and his staff discussed countermeasures.

"It seems that my father is getting old after all."

"Shandong and Henan are not guaranteed, and Ying Tianfu is not in a difficult situation."

King Qi was very proud.

Looking at his brothers, except for the fourth brother, who is more powerful, the rest of the brothers are not as good as themselves, and the fourth brother is imprisoned like Ying Tianfu.

"Looks like it has to be me." King Qi was ambitious.
