After finishing speaking, seeing Emperor Chongzhen looking a little disappointed, Liu Weichao smiled and said: "You can't eat a fat bullet in one bite. Mobile phone communication has a lot of front-end technology. It probably doesn't take hundreds of years, even if it's
Without my help, it would be absolutely impossible."
After a pause, he added with a smile: "It's true that when I checked the barbed wire fence before, I found two good things, which are just right for you. They are both related to the textile industry."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's expression turned to surprise, and he quickly asked: "What good thing is it?"
"The previous shuttles and spinning machines dealt with the two stages of cotton to cotton yarn and then to cotton cloth!" Liu Weichao immediately answered him, "There are also the steps of separating cotton seeds from cotton, and the step of turning cloth into clothes.
Having good things for you can greatly improve your efficiency."
Having said this, he paused, thought for a moment, and then said: "In fact, at this stage, you must start planting cotton on a large scale. In this way, you can actually use machines to pick this area.
It will greatly improve efficiency and save manpower. But this content is still early, let’s talk about it later, we will do it one by one according to the priority and difficulty of the things!”
Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this. He nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you."
When Liu Weichao saw it, he also smiled and said: "As for cotton cloth, or the textile industry, in a few years, the people of the Ming Dynasty will be able to enjoy cheap and beautiful clothes to wear, and there will no longer be many people who freeze to death."
Situation. In addition, your cost will be much lower than that of other countries. If merchants sell it, they can occupy the entire earth's business in one fell swoop!"
Upon hearing this description, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but look very expectant.
At this time, he already understood that monopoly business was the most profitable business.
A business that can dominate the world is definitely a profitable business! The imperial court established state-owned enterprises in this field, yes, they are state-owned enterprises, and the money in the national treasury will continue to increase!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes turned into slits with laughter.
"By the way, you also need to improve transportation." Liu Weichao followed this idea and reminded Emperor Chongzhen, "How is your railway matter going?"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he quickly retracted his fantasy and immediately replied to Liu Weichao: "I have sent the railway company with carpenters and blacksmiths to conduct experiments in the mining area. According to the previous reports, it is estimated that a section of the pipeline from the mining area to the mine can be paved.
It’s on its way.”
Having said this, he thought for a moment and then added: "I plan to wait until after the Battle of Jizhou before I start to mobilize manpower and lay all my efforts to lay railway tracks, at least to open the road to the capital. The other one is to plan to go from Tongzhou to
From the capital."
Liu Weichao saw that Emperor Chongzhen had a clear plan, and in his opinion, there was nothing wrong with it, so he said nothing more.
That's basically all the chat last night.
Early the next morning, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Sun Chuanting and Yinxi to discuss matters related to the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town.
He also believed that Liu Weichao's reminder was very reasonable and that Dongjiang Town should indeed be built better.
But what he didn't expect was that both Du Yinxi and Sun Chuanting were opposed. Under the current circumstances, the battle of Jizhou should be the priority. Even if Dongjiang Town is to be rebuilt, it should at least wait until after the battle of Jizhou before considering it based on the actual situation.
After hearing what these two ministers who knew the military said so, Emperor Chongzhen listened to them and stopped thinking about rebuilding Dongjiang Town for the time being.
While he was still discussing, the cabinet received a bunch of urgent memorials from the south of the Yangtze River, and the chief minister personally brought these memorials to request an audience.
Emperor Chongzhen had already made arrangements, and he showed that he was very concerned about the situation in Jiangnan. He immediately held an imperial meeting and started his performance.
In short, he showed that he was very concerned about the situation in Jiangnan. In addition to strictly requiring all areas of Jiangnan to suppress bandits, he also promised to send reinforcements as soon as possible.
As for his actual purpose, only a few people including Sun Chuanting and Du Yinxi knew about it.
Of course, they couldn't reveal the emperor's true intentions. They just watched and watched Emperor Chongzhen perform there. In their hearts, they couldn't help but feel a little more in awe of Emperor Chongzhen.
Today, I am becoming more and more accustomed to the position of emperor!
He Fengsheng and others were relieved when they received the emperor's statement.
But what they never expected was that an urgent report from Shanhaiguan Xuelong arrived.
Jie Xuelong reported that when he was inspecting the military and political affairs of Shanhaiguan, he found that many of the garrison fields had been occupied, the military morale was unstable, morale was low, and there were even signs of mutiny.
Also, the Jianlu troops in Jinzhou seemed to be showing signs of attacking Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan.
In short, according to Jie Xuelong's description, it seems that Shanhaiguan may have problems at any time.
He begged the imperial court to immediately send more reinforcements to stabilize Shanhaiguan's morale and military morale, and not to give any opportunity to the Jianlu prisoners.
As soon as this memorial arrived, Emperor Chongzhen told the officials from Jiangnan that there was nothing that could be done. Shanhaiguan was the most important to the court and nothing could happen. Therefore, the Baigan Army could not go south and could only go north to reinforce Shanhaiguan.
Only by stabilizing the situation in Shanhaiguan.
Faced with this situation, everyone except those familiar with it were dumbfounded.
But at this critical moment, Shanhaiguan also encountered problems.
They had no doubt that Jie Xuelong's memorial would be fake.
Because of the previous battle of Songjin, the vitality of the imperial court was severely damaged. There were already signs of unstable military morale and morale in Shanhaiguan. For this reason, the imperial court also sent Xue Long to inspect and verify.
Even Wu Sangui's father was a little confused after hearing the news, wondering if Wu Sangui couldn't hold his temper, didn't listen to himself, and started causing trouble?
With this in mind, he immediately sent someone to deliver a message to Wu Sangui, warning his son not to mess around.
He has already grasped the news. The Beijing Camp and the Yongwei Camp seem to have been trained by the imperial court. Moreover, there is a lot of movement at the Military War Bureau. Just one car after another is sent to the Baigan Army camp, which is very...
Maybe it's ordnance or something.
At this time, if Wu Sangui caused trouble, he would probably bump into the iron plate.
Northerners know the importance of Shanhaiguan the best. It is also because Shanhaiguan is so important that Guan Ning's army can use this as a blackmail to enjoy the best treatment among the imperial officers and soldiers.
Now that something happened to Shanhaiguan, there was nothing they could do. They could only watch helplessly as Emperor Chongzhen issued an order for Zhongzhen Hou Qin Liangyu to immediately set off with the Baigan Army to Shanhaiguan to stabilize the situation.
However, Emperor Chongzhen also promised that as long as the training of the Yongwei Camp and the Beijing Camp were similar, or the situation in Shanhaiguan was stabilized, he would send troops to the south to quell the rebellion.
As for the immediate situation, he asked the officials below to do their best to provide disaster relief.
The Yellow River bursts its banks, it's late autumn, and winter is coming soon. If the disaster relief is not timely, I don't know how many people will die!
On the surface, Emperor Chongzhen was busy with this matter, but in fact, his heart was actually with Jianlu. As he said to Liu Weichao, he was really worried. He had prepared everything, but Jianlu could not come.
, then you will be dumbfounded!
Naturally, he didn't know that this worry was actually unnecessary.
Because of the butterfly effect, the destruction of the eight major Shanxi merchants caused the slave chief Huang Taiji to send a robbery team to the pass in advance, just to grab more grain and supplies in the pass.
At this time, the robbery army led by Jianlu had arrived on the territory of the Aohan tribe, which was on the grassland in the northwest of Jinzhou.
Although Jianlu was doing business without capital, they still had to bring the food and grass they consumed along the way.
The same is true with the Mongolian tribes in the east.
After walking a long way, more than half way, Abatai ordered to rest for a day.
One is to adjust the physical strength of the men and horses and prepare for war. The other is to wait for the men and horses of the Horqin tribe to arrive.
Among the eastern Mongolian tribes, the Horqin tribe has the closest relationship with Jianlu.
Several of Huang Taiji's concubines, including the most beloved Hailanzhu, were all from Horqin, and Huang Taiji also had a daughter married to Horqin. In short, the relationship was very messy, but it also proved that Horqin and Jianlu had the closest relationship.
Naturally, this good deed of entering the customs and robbing the border cannot be left behind by the Horqin tribe.
In the Chinese military tent, Abatai and a group of people took advantage of this opportunity to have a meeting.
"This time we enter the customs, His Majesty's decree requires us to bring as much food, supplies and people back to Liaodong!" Abatai looked at the group of people below and said seriously, "Therefore, the way back must be kept clear. As agreed before
, the Ming army in Jizhou is the most powerful, so we must destroy them before we can go south with confidence!"
Having said this, he looked at the two people below who were dressed in obviously different clothes and asked: "You are the ones who know the situation in the customs the best. Is there anything else that needs to be added?"
These two people were two of the eight Shanxi merchants who fled to Liaodong. The leader was Fan Yongdou. After hearing Abatai's words, he quickly replied: "In the previous battle of Songjin, the officers and soldiers that the imperial court could fight,
Everyone who can be mobilized is gone. There should be no problem in conquering Jizhou. The villain just thinks that the Qing army can also go to Jin. The villain is the most familiar with it, and the harvest will be great. "
Hearing this, another person immediately retorted: "There is Datong in the Jin Dynasty, an important town in Xuanfu. Even if it is no longer good now, it is still there. On the other hand, other places in the pass have long been in bad condition. The general thinks,
After defeating Jizhou, it would be better to attack Lu directly!"
Hearing this, Fan Yongdou glanced at him and did not dare to refute.
After escaping to Liaodong, he finally saw it clearly. Without the support of Jin, he was alone, and the Qing Dynasty no longer paid much attention to him. Even as time went by, the Jurchens also spoke ill of him, and he
They can only endure it.
While he was thinking about it, Abatai had already said to the person who had just spoken: "King Gongshun is right. Then I'll leave the siege to you. Is that okay?"
