Wang Zaijin, Qin Liangyu, Qin Bangping, Zhang Mingshi and others led the expeditionary corps to pursue the remnants of the White Lotus rebels in Shandong. They pursued and cleared them all the way and then headed to Denglai.
Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, also specially revitalized the Denglai garrison and made preparations for logistical supplies and sea transportation. This time, it took one month to suppress the rebellion, one month to march, and another month to cross the sea to Liaodong before the winter freeze.<
/p>
Generals such as Qi Jin and Qin Minping of the Military Police Regiment continued to follow Emperor Tianqi to Yangzhou as guards and honor guards.
Now is the opportunity to strike while the iron is hot. After Zhu Youxiao arrived in Yangzhou, he first made a low-key and brief inspection tour accompanied by Zhang Weixian and others, and then immediately asked the British Duke Zhang Weixian to return to the capital.
Daming has an absolute advantage over Hou Jin in terms of physical strength, provided it can be mobilized.
Now Zhu Youxiao has been mobilizing the layout, confiscating so much money to save money, just to make sufficient preparations so that Ming Dynasty's manpower and material resources can be used.
This time, a large amount of grain was seized and confiscated in Shandong, Huaihe and Huaihe, and was shipped to Liaodong and Korea for use in the frontline war.
Wang Zaijin and Yuan Keli are both experts in this matter, so you can rest assured that they are responsible.
This is not enough.
Before he went south from Huai'an to Yangzhou, he specifically discussed more support with the British Duke Zhang Weixian.
As soon as he said that, Min Yuzhen knew that Tianqi wanted me to protect that important front supply line.
Zhang Weixian's idea is also very simple. He would rather transport all the food that was confiscated from the house, but also consume as much of the local people's food reserves as possible.
Then...
At the Xiaoyun Yamen, the officials of the Yangzhou prefecture were shocked. Was it because the emperor was angry and started killing Xiaoyun? Or was he here for livelihood and industry? Do you want Jiangnan to be poor and stable?
The amount of money, salt, food, and clothing that are being confiscated now is very small. If the remuneration can be adequately paid. Before the Metropolitan Procuratorate cooperated with Tianjin Governor Bi Ziyan to take charge of the local officials, the officials were temporarily described as incorruptible and inefficient. With the supervision of Jin Yiwei in place, it would definitely be
I was able to finish copying over there, but I was greedy and ran away here.
Zhu Youxiao also knew that: "Jizhen knows about it. This matter requires the cabinet, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs to deal with it in the capital. Min Yu is running around Tongzhou, Tianjin, Shanhaiguan, and Jinzhou to ensure that nothing goes wrong."<
/p>
Only when Zhu Youxiao went back and joined forces with Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet, and others could people feel a little more worried.
"The expeditionary corps is ready to cross the sea to support this time. The military police regiment around me will not be able to go there until later. The remaining Baoding Army, Shandong Army and South Zhili troops can handle the final work of counterinsurgency. Currently, the troops and horses can still go north to Liaodong.
The only soldiers and horses from Ji Town and the Beijing garrison are left."
Zhang Weixian said to himself: It's not bad, let him beat his, and you beat yours... Just kill the ones who go out of line, and you will be sure of victory.
"That's what Min Yu should do."
I am also afraid of those methods. Now Xiaoyunhe Yamen and Yangzhou Fuyamen have made a mistake. They are not here to investigate the judges and hold the government accountable. The Procuratorate is responsible for these.
Min Yuzhen frowned. Was it because the Yangzhou government controlled the small canal to make way for its own dragon boats?
Before the arrangement broke down, Zhu Youxiao left for the north and returned to the capital.
Min Yuzhen broke the atmosphere we created with one sentence: "I came that time to arrest people, for the livelihood of the people in Jiangnan, and for the revitalization of Jiangnan's industries! Jiangnan is poor and stable, your old Zhu family's Lianghuai hometown
Only then can you become rich."
"Bad, please don't ask me for help. I will go to Yangzhou to reorganize the small canal and sea transportation. Please don't ask me for the dispatch of the north."
I said to Zhu Youxiao: "The north has been undergoing rectification for half a year. The Armor Factory of the Ministry of Industry and the Wang Gong Factory have already produced small quantities of high-quality ordnance. The War and War Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has even done some work without doing its job well."
Inventions and creations. The weapons currently in stock should be shipped less to Liaodong and Tianjin."
Before the inspection, I saw that there were no officials accompanying me.
Zhu Youxiao knew that the old ministers were broken and the troops were relatively small, and the garrisoned troops were like military police regiments and elite expeditionary regiments. If those soldiers and horses were to go north, they must be used in the right place.
"Ji Zhen thought that those soldiers and horses heading north might be able to be used in a decisive battle for a while."
Although he had less transportation of supplies in that half year, the smaller army retreated into Liaodong and the consumption was increasing day by day. If the stalemate continued until next summer, the local people's food reserves would be eaten up. Although it is unusual to seize food from the people during a war,
However, if there is less consumption, people will flee to other places. Liaodong will be more desolate and the recovery time will be longer, which is conducive to the development of the north and the domination of the peninsula to the east.
I came to Yangzhou to directly engage in industrial upgrading and shipping planning. Those officials must be following suit, so please be eliminated~
There are less tricks on the outside of that kind of thing. For example, when the control is complicated and rough, when others ask, they will say that the emperor is angry and all ships must move. The people's livelihood is affected, and if they are unhappy on the outside, the emperor is angry and harms Jiangnan again.
The people were implicated in rumors that they had enough food and clothing...
"Indeed, but we are the one who guarantees land transportation in winter and the dangers ahead. From that winter to the late spring of next year, there must be no key generals who can mislead us and make the journey from the capital to Liaoyang and Shenyang dangerous."
Zhang Weixian continued to go south, bringing with him Liu Qiao, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Ye Xianggao, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhou Yingqiu, the censor of the left capital, retreated to Yangzhou. Ten thousand Beijing military police regiments, deputy general Qi Jin of the Beijing army, and general Qin Minping
We will all go with you.
Liu Qiao reported loudly: "According to secret information, after arriving in Yangzhou, the government ordered merchants and people to not only do business and shipping, but also to gather to welcome you, but they were driven home by the officials to wait for arrangements."
The two discussed the specific plan, and planned to send the garrison troops north to assist the veterans in setting up defenses. The veterans mainly used Shanhaiguan soldiers and horses to transport supplies from land, at most to Jinzhou and Guangning, and those soldiers and horses had to escort Guangzhou.
It is better to worry about the troops and horses further back, so that we can devote our energy to ensuring the frontline transportation.
There is so little food, winter clothes and weapons to transport, which requires a small amount of manpower and animal power. The Mongolian refugees in Tianjin have been settled for half a year, and it is time to play their role. The donkeys, mules and horses we raise cannot provide livestock power, and those who are good at driving have to be recruited.
, hired for transportation.
If the glaciers and small seas freeze in another month, sea transportation in Liaodong will be suspended, and the only way to maintain land transportation is through the Liaoxi Corridor.
It's okay to be tough, why not stab the soft knife secretly?
The city of Yangzhou was shaken. All the officials, big and small, came to the city to greet the Holy Emperor. The atmosphere seemed very solemn and solemn.
Zhang Weixian also avoided ostentation and held a small banquet to celebrate. Instead, he directly transferred the account books of Xiaoyun and Yangzhou to check the trading products and trade volume, and then went to the dock to verify the docked ships and materials outside the warehouse.
"Well, that is the bad and powerful government style. It is to give me the reputation of retreating from the government and advancing the people~"
Only in this way can we attack the Korean Peninsula at the same time, so as not to miss that golden opportunity.
The Yangzhou section of the small canal is relatively narrow and wide. Normally, it would be a problem for seven small boats to sail in parallel. However, when I arrived in Yangzhou today, I saw only small boats. Even the family-run large boats of 100 kilograms were scattered on the shore, and there was no way to sail.
