Chapter 1022 Yuan Chonghuan sneak attack on Jianzhou
In late September, Zeng Jing moved to the Prince Consort's Mansion quietly.
The next day.
Su Mingzhe looked at the shy Zeng Jing and felt a little funny, but he still asked a question:
"Zeng Jing, do you prefer to have children and live out your life normally, or do you prefer to be a fairy who can stay young forever?"
"?"
Zeng Jing looked at the man in confusion.
If you can be a fairy who stays young forever, who would want to be an ordinary woman?
"I have a skill in my hand. If you practice it successfully, it can help women stay young forever. However, they cannot have children. Otherwise, if you have a child, you will be ten or twenty years older."
Su Mingzhe told Zeng Jing his situation.
It was also stimulated in the previous plane. In this plane, Su Mingzhe no longer wants so many children.
It just so happened that he saw that most of his women were from the martial arts world, so he simply passed on the [Shadowless Magic Skill] to these women.
However, before teaching martial arts, he still had to ask the woman for her opinion.
If a woman wants a child, Su Mingzhe will satisfy her.
For example, Su Mingzhe made Princess Shouning pregnant and gave birth to two sons.
But other women chose the latter between having children and living forever.
Facing the man's inquiry, Zeng Jing thought over and over again and chose [Small Wuxiang Gong].
After all, after practicing [Small Phaseless Skill], you can still have children, but at most the effect will not be that good.
In her opinion, this is not a multiple-choice question, but a ranking question.
Su Mingzhe immediately passed the [Small Phaseless Skill] to Zeng Jing.
Since Zeng Jing entered the Prince Consort's Mansion, Su Mingzhe went to court less and less often.
Others thought that Su Mingzhe was satisfied with the status quo, began to forget about himself, and degenerated.
Only the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Luo Sigong, knew.
Although Su Mingzhe went to the court less often, he became more and more able to control the court.
In the blink of an eye, it’s been four years since Taichang.
The Ming Dynasty had reduced the head tax and land tax.
However, due to drought and locust plague, the people in the north, with more people and less land, are still unable to eat.
Su Mingzhe had to increase the scale of "relief for work".
Along with rivers, official roads, inns, schools, hospitals and other infrastructure, they have all been renovated.
Su Mingzhe had to start building industrial infrastructure again.
However, building industrial infrastructure is different from infrastructure.
Infrastructure development is a must everywhere.
Industrial infrastructure construction requires focused planning.
The Ming Dynasty had a developed economy and if you wanted to build industrial infrastructure, the best area was around the Yangtze River Delta.
The previous land tax exemption played a big role at this time.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a policy to reward land reclamation.
In other words, it is an ownerless land, and whoever creates it owns it.
In the past, people could not afford to pay land tax or poll tax, so they did not dare to open up wasteland.
Now, the Ming Dynasty has abolished the poll tax and the land tax. The people have no pressure anymore and they are all shouldering their shoulders. The whole family is mobilized to open up wasteland vigorously.
Whether it's building fields around lakes or burning mountains to create fields, these are all basic operations.
It can be said that most people yearn to own a piece of land of their own.
Of course, not all ordinary people can cultivate the land well.
In the countryside, there are too many useless people with industrious limbs, and they don't know how to farm at all.
Before this, these wastes leased their own fields to ordinary people who had no fields, charged high rents, and then relied on their status as scholars to make a fortune without having to pay taxes.
However, now that the land tax has been exempted and there is no poll tax, people are everywhere clearing up wasteland.
Who has the time and energy to spend a high price to lease land from a landlord?
For a time, the "labor shortage" began to spread in the Jiangnan area.
In order to find people to rent their land, these landowners had no choice but to heed the imperial court's call, contribute money and effort, and ask the imperial court for help to recruit long-term workers from the disaster-stricken areas in the north.
Su Mingzhe also happened to be involved in private work and carried out a large-scale population migration.
Five years in Taichang.
The temperature continues to drop and there is a severe drought in the north.
Because of Su Mingzhe's command, the Ming Dynasty barely managed to maintain its national power, and even allowed the Jiangnan region to take the lead in industrialization.
The grassland tribes further north also suffered disasters.
These grassland tribes have no one to help them tide over the difficulties.
In desperation, they could only choose the most primitive method, launching a war to divert tribal conflicts.
Various tribes on the grassland conquered each other.
The Jianzhou Jurchens, relying on Horqin's traitor, took the opportunity to invade and captured most of the grassland in one fell swoop.
At this time, a grassland tribe asked the Ming Dynasty for help.
The wealth of the Ming Dynasty is obvious to all.
Seeing that the Jianzhou Jurchens were unstoppable, these grassland tribes would rather defect to the Ming Dynasty than be conquered by the Jianzhou Jurchens.
After all, after taking refuge with Dad Ming, these tribes could only send Dad Ming some horses and grassland specialties every year.
If they were conquered by the Jianzhou Jurchens, they would become pawns and cannon fodder of the Jianzhou Jurchens.
Which choice is better is clear at a glance.
After receiving the request for help, Su Mingzhe ordered the border troops to assist the grassland tribes, and ordered Fushun guerrilla general Yuan Chonghuan, who was close to Houjin, to go out and attack Jianzhou.
In the original historical time and space, Yuan Chonghuan had just passed the Jinshi examination and was appointed as a small magistrate in Fujian Province.
In this dimension, Su Mingzhe knew that Yuan Chonghuan was interested in military affairs, so he transferred him to Fushun and became a guerrilla general.
Li Yongfang, the former Fushun guerrilla general, foolishly accepted Dai Shan's persuasion to surrender and became Hou Jin's consort.
This guy didn't even think about it. If Su Mingzhe could send Dongfang Bubai to assassinate the wild boar skin, could he let him go?
There is no one as mentally retarded as him.
As soon as Su Mingzhe received the news of Li Yongfang's surrender, he sent Zuo Lengchan to lead a team of troops out of the border to annihilate all nine Li Yongfang clans.
To this day, the heads of Li Yongfang and his sons are all hung on the walls of Fushun as a warning to those who come after them.
Later Jin also saw such a powerful counterattack by the Ming Dynasty, so no matter how short of supplies, they only dared to invade the grassland tribes instead of going south to invade the Ming Dynasty.
Now, Su Mingzhe asked Yuan Chonghuan to go out and attack Jianzhou while the Jianzhou goddess was not at home, which caught Daishan off guard.
Yuan Chonghuan left the customs in May, captured Jianzhou City in July, and looted all the Jurchens in Jianzhou.
In July, Yuan Chonghuan led the army back to Fushun City.
The Jurchen Eight Banners, which was wreaking havoc on the grassland, learned that chrysanthemums were being exploded in August.
At this time.
As the Jurchen emperor, Daishan wanted to turn back with his army and wanted to take back his family.
Huang Taiji, on the other hand, insisted on continuing to invade the grassland tribes and could not return empty-handed.
After all, Jianzhou has been looted. If the army returns empty-handed, everyone will have no choice but to starve in the coming winter.
After deliberation, the Eight Banners leaders finally agreed to Huang Taiji's decision.
The matter has reached this point, and everyone has no other choice but to sink the boat.
If they really rush back to Jianzhou, the Jurchens will be completely finished.
It has to be said that Huang Taiji's strategic layout is much better than Daishan's.
Daishan also discovered this. When the flag leader meeting was over, he looked at Huang Taiji's back and felt deeply worried and fearful!
