Jinzhou and Daling River completed the fortifications, but Jiannu still held his troops?

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

After preparing so many artillery, I originally wanted to have a battle of Daling River, which is different from history, to once again severely defeat Jiannu and lay a better foundation for this year's counterattack.

But Jiannu seemed to have not seen it, which made Zhu Youxiao unable to help but complain: When were they blind?

The expectation failed, but Zhu Youxiao was not disappointed. Jiannu suffered consecutive losses in the battle, and could he bump into him stupidly?

In fact, from this perspective, Lao Nu is still wise, while Huang Taiji is a little fussy. But he can't just say who is higher and lower. He can only find the reasons based on their experience and mentality.

Jinzhou and Daling River are restored, and the next step is Youtunwei and Guangning. The more we advance eastward, the longer the supply line of the Ming army, the more careful the plan and more investment will be.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the sand table and roughly estimated that he would have to wait three or four months before he could 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 was not a stable occupation, he would send cavalry forward to the Youtunwei, or even Guangning.

Next, weapons, equipment, personnel and supplies will be tilted towards Dongjiang Town, especially the Ming army, with the goal of winning at least the Liaonan Guards this year.

The Dongjiang headquarters also has plans, the smallest ones are to harass Jiannu and strive for more Liao people to flee; the big purpose is to stably occupy the Zhenjiang area and form a situation of stalkingly lying with Yizhou and Tieshan.

Although it was arranged by all sides, North Korea's military strength was too weak, and it was okay to siege and blockade, so it was fine to attack.

In other words, the Ming army has now formed a favorable situation of siege on three sides. Whether it is launched at the same time or the one after another, it will make Jiannu passive and even exhausted.

If you are safe, what can you do?

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

The three guards in southern Liaoning and Zhenjiang areas have almost forced Jiannu into the inland of Liaoshen. At that time, not to mention food and food, Jiannu would not be able to eat even salt.

Thinking of salt, Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyes again.

In the middle of the Xia Dynasty, he served as the salt inspector and went to various places for inspection in salt fields to formulate more rigorous and scientific management measures to lay a solid foundation for the introduction of the Salt Law.

If it can be implemented smoothly, salt profit will be another major investment, and the finances will continue to improve this year.

Imperial Bank is issuing bank dollars. Judging from the current quantity, merchants and the people are highly accepted, and the process of abolishing and changing the two countries should be much earlier than the original plan.

The action to crack down on officials and businessmen has also been launched. Zhu Youxiao is not polite to the guys who are lucky enough to be lucky. The search and exile is a standard punishment.

As for the inputs of glass products and mirrors, they flow into the inner treasury. Although it is the treasury, Zhu Youxiao has never been stingy in the places where money should be spent.

In addition to the clearance of arrears and the success of clearing the garrisons and replenishing the wages, the border troops' food and salary were also guaranteed, and there was even a lot of surplus.

Over the past year, the reforms introduced by the emperor have finally been implemented under the deterrence of heavy punishment and beheading. Although there are still shortcomings and blind spots, great results have been achieved.

Zhu Youxiao also knew that the damaged interest groups were resenting and even secretly preparing to resist.

But it is a sign of the emperor who can fight with the slash of swords in his hand, and the most important thing is to fight against the emperor who can even ignore the face. It should be very appropriate to use the idiom "mand mantis arm to be a chariot" to describe it.

While suppressing the old interest groups, Zhu Youxiao also supported an interest group. This interest group is mainly composed of three major chambers of commerce, as well as officials and clerks who have benefited from the reform.

This is a group that supports the emperor and supports reform, and its scale will continue to expand, becoming a powerful assistant to the fight against old interest groups.

With the support of the emperor, emerging forces will eventually crush the old group and completely crush it.

I'm not fighting alone!

Zhu Youxiao thought of Chen Tingyang, Xia Zhongshi, Li Dan, Yan Siqi, Wu Dazhang, and powerful officials in the court and local areas.

This is just a civil servant, and many military generals were even subdued by him, united closely around the emperor, made achievements and was determined to be a marquis.

"The Emperor——" Wang Tigan entered the palace with a habitual smile, "The Empress Yu was summoned to come and was waiting outside the palace."

After pausing, Wang Tigan added: "I didn't let the Empress get out of the sedan chair, please do not punish me."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Parent Wang is doing well." As he said that, he walked towards the gate of the palace. The old king followed behind diligently and thoughtfully put a fur on the emperor at the gate of the palace.

When he walked outside the hall, Zhu Youxiao came to the sedan chair and signaled the palace servant to lift the curtain of the sedan chair. He saw Zhang Yuer with a foot furnace under his feet and a sleeve furnace in his arms.

Zhang Yuer smiled sweetly and was helped by the palace servants. She was pregnant with Liujia, and with the thick fur, she looked even more bloated.

"Be careful." Wang Tigan reminded the palace maids.

Zhu Youxiao pointed and said with a smile: "Let's go, look at Xiaobai, there are still a litter of little babies."

Zhang Yuer's body became heavier and he walked less in the palace. When he heard the emperor say that Xiaobai was born, he didn't say anything, but he really wanted to come and take a look.

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

Xiaobai's first shoveler was also a mother, and Zhu Youxiao was basically obedient.

But Zhang Yuer is a person who knows the importance of the matter and never makes excessive demands. Sometimes she thinks in her heart, but she doesn't say it in her mouth.

Zhu Youxiao led Zhang Yu'er into the warm cabinet, and Li Chengcheng hurriedly came to meet him.

"It's you!" Zhang Yu'er still remembers this palace maid who sells goods in a royal shop. She smiled and nodded, then looked away to find the cat star who 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 was located.

Zhang Yu'er saw Xiaobai lying lazily in the nest, with a few fur balls snuggling against it, sleeping or urging.

When Ye Hei saw the stranger, he arched his body and stared vigilantly.

Zhang Yu'er smiled so much that her eyes were crescent-shaped, but she didn't make too loud noises. She sat down in the chair brought by the palace servants and looked at it carefully.

Meow! Ye Hei made a dissatisfied voice, as if he was very upset with the stranger's wife and children.

"Haha, you don't know me anymore." Zhang Yuer reached out and pointed, and smiled, "Where are I holding Xiaobai and knowing you with Empress Liang?"

Xiaobai turned his head lazily. Although it took a long time, he still recognized the shoveler and made a gentle cry, as if he was saying hello.

"Xiaobai is so amazing!" Zhang Yu'er looked at Xiaobai enviously and pamperedly, and praised: "Six were born in a moment!"

Meow! Xiaobai screamed, as if he could understand it.

From Xiaobai's cry, Ye Hei identified the intimacy and relaxed his vigilant expression.

Zhang Yu'er looked at Xiaomao Tuaner one by one, her favorite expression could not be concealed, and the smile on her face was happier and warmer.

"Empress, this is their ranking." Li Chengcheng presented a piece of paper to Zhang Yuer.

Oh, Zhang Yuer was stunned for a moment and took it over and saw that it turned out to be the eldest and second-class rankings of the little hairy group, according to their characteristics and birth order.

"You are so careful." Zhang Yuer looked at Li Chengcheng and praised it, then looked for the characteristics on the paper in the little hairy bun, and laughed happily from time to time.

A small fur ball closed his eyes and crawled to the edge of the nest.

"Put it back quickly." Zhang Yu'er pointed at her, fearing that she would fall to the ground, although the cat's nest was not at all high from the ground.

Li Chengcheng hurriedly carried the little guy to his mother again. Zhang Yuer glanced at the paper and giggled, "You are the youngest and the most dishonest."

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

Zhang Yuer's love comes from the heart, and Zhu Youxiao actually doesn't have much resistance to the cute little Mao Tuaner.

Listening to the cheerful laughter of his wife, Zhu Youxiao was also infected and thought with a smile: If she is willing to raise her baby, she will just hold her.

There were several memorials on the desk. Zhu Youxiao picked up one and started reading it.

Hu Yingtai, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, has a very old experience and served as the chief clerk of the military department. He was the deputy envoy of the Jiangxi Censorate and the Taipuqing. He also corrupted Yingtian and made great contributions to revitalizing the moral integrity and discipline.

During the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi, Hu Yingtai did a good job, ensuring the safety of the southern part of the Ming Dynasty.

This memorial was Hu Yingtai responded to the emperor's inquiry. First, the plan and progress of Hainan Island development, and second, the situation in Annan and Chameng.

Zhu Youxiao not only asked Hu Yingtai, but also collected information from the maritime merchants traveling to Nanyang, and ordered the Jinyiwei to send the Jinyiwei to spy on it.

Since conquering maritime merchants and purchasing grain from the countries in Southeast Asia, Zhu Youxiao turned his attention to those small countries.

Cham City is famous for Cham City rice. It can be said that it has survived countless lives and also supported the population growth of the Chinese people.

Annan in history is known for his rebelliousness and capriciousness.

In the fifth year of Yongle, because Annan attacked the Ming Dynasty's vassal state, Chengzu Ming, Chengzu sent Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu to attack the Hu Dynasty in Vietnam and destroyed it in one fell swoop.

In the 16th year of Yongle, the Vietnamese Li Li raised an army to rebel against the Ming Dynasty, and established the Li Dynasty ten years later, officially leaving the Ming Dynasty rule.

Now, the Later Li Dynasty is only a nominal existence, and Annan has formed a confrontation between South Ruan and North and Zheng.

The north was strong and the south was a little worse, so they invaded and expanded from time to time, and they often saw war with Chameng. Chameng was struggling to support it and did not have much strength to fight back.

Zhu Youxiao is not yet ready to take big wars, and the consumption of multi-line combat is not something that the Ming Dynasty's national strength can bear.

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

And there will be a rice production area that is counted in the world in the future. For Zhu Youxiao, who wants to accumulate grain and prepare for wasteland, it is simply a gift from God.

God gives you no choice, sin!

Since it is a wasteland, whoever takes over it will belong to it. The newly built navy, the southern army, and even the armed immigrants can occupy that fertile land.

As long as you have enough labor, you will develop rice there. The Ming Dynasty is equivalent to having a stable and high-yield grain base, and you will be more confident in overcoming the famine of the Little Ice Age.

The investment cost is not very high, and there is almost no need for too much force. It mainly involves the initial investment in resettlement of immigrants.

Zhu Youxiao was thinking about how to add another piece of territory to the Ming Dynasty and another naval base. This was inconspicuous to others, but it became the first step for Zhu Youxiao to start expansion.

When he picked up the pen, Zhu Youxiao brushed it and wrote a reply to Hu Yingtai.

From a geographical perspective, Guangdong and Guangxi will play an important role in this action. However, judging from the money and grain income of Guangdong and Guangxi, it is not enough support.

But if immigrants are replaced with military forces, they can not only fight wars, but also open up land and farm land, they will save a lot of money and grain. According to the harvest of rice in Chameng, they will be self-sufficient in just one year; the second year will be able to earn surplus and export.
