Prince of Chaos

Chapter 490 Rui Xue's Prosperous Year

Although Zhu Changluo was a little surprised by Dong Qichang's answer, it was also expected.

Zhu Changluo looked at Dong Qichang and asked, "What does Master Dong mean?"

Dong Qichang bowed earnestly and said, "I think the auspicious snow is a sign of a good year!"

Zhu Changluo's expression froze, and then he tapped his fingers and said meaningfully: "Shuntian Mansion has reported several cases of people freezing to death."

Dong Qichang said: "Your Highness, things cannot be calculated in this way. As far as I know, since the 15th year of Wanli, His Highness Xishan Huangzhuang Daxing Coal, made briquettes, and benefited the people of the capital. The number of people in the capital who froze to death every winter has been increasing. decline."

"Like this winter, Shuntian Mansion reported less than ten cases of people freezing to death. I think this is His Royal Highness's benevolent government. If we follow the example of Wanli 15 years ago, I am afraid that there will be hundreds of cases of freezing to death every winter." report of the case."

Zhu Changluo said: "What kind of benevolent government is this? People freeze to death more or less, because the court did not do it properly. There is only one case where people freeze to death during the winter, and that is Gu's fault."

Dong Qichang listened to Zhu Changluo's words, and he immediately bowed again: "Your Highness is merciful, and I congratulate the people of the world."

Zhu Changluo waved his hand and said, "Master Dong, stop complimenting Gu. Gu just did what he should do."

However, Dong Qichang continued: "Even so, what His Royal Highness has done has far surpassed the previous sages. It is the blessing of the community and the common people to have His Royal Highness in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "Master Dong is getting more and more talkative. If you say it to the father, it means that the father will be promoted to Zhu Changluo's official position if he is unhappy."

Master Dong said: "Every sentence of the minister is true, whether there is any falsehood."

Dong Qichang took advantage of the gap and quickly brought the topic back on track.

Dong Qichang said: "Zhu Changluo has only said half of what he said just now, and there is the rest."

Master Dong heard that Dong Qichang brought the topic back to Jingshi Lianxue, I had no regrets in my heart, and I didn't have many heartfelt words to say.

However, since the crown prince is asking about something serious again, I naturally have to put my attitude right.

Pang Minchen said: "The minister said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year is definitely not a lie."

Pang Minchen said: "Continue."

Master Dong continued: "There is no proverb among the people that auspicious snow heralds a good year. It means that there is enough snow this year, and the crops will definitely be bumper in the coming year. That is also auspicious for the imperial court."

"But this is the end of my judgment. Although the snow in the capital has not been on for a long time, that is not the reason for the officials to attack the court. Because the snow is only on you, Xiao Ming, and it will also be on the grassland. and other places."

"As far as I know, North Korea prevented Japanese pirates from retreating because of the snow. Your army's follower Jianzhou Nanzheng took advantage of the wind and snow to take Paju City. It can be seen that this snow is only It is a sign of a good year, and it is a good sign of a prosperous country."

"Not yet, I learned from the message sent back from Ningxia that because of the blizzard and snow on the grassland, the herdsmen from all parts of the grassland had no choice but to flee with their cattle and sheep to the temple's Niutougou Town for refuge."

"Although there were not many cowardly tribes who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to harass them during that period, but your military power is predictable. You only attacked those prairie tribes that wanted to harass the border, and captured a small amount of cattle and sheep. To supply the capital. Now, every household in the capital can eat a few mouthfuls of beef and sheep cold soup from Ningxia every year."

"So, I think this snow is an auspicious omen, a symbol of a good harvest, and a symbol of your Xiao Ming's prosperity."

Master Dong first determined the nature of this snow firmly.

Pang Minchen looked at Master Dong like that, and I was secretly funny in my heart.

That Pang Minchen's mouth is really a deceitful ghost, Bai can be said to be white.

Xiao Ming's four towns along the border, except Ningxia Town, where the law enforcement team under Pang Minchen's hands and the defenders based on the Southern Army were guarded with heavy firepower, the rest of the towns were of no benefit in that snowstorm.Several times, Xiaotong and Taiyuan towns have issued urgent military reports. If the Jingning cement road has penetrated to our side, Xiaoming's support ability will be weakened. It is estimated that the people in Taiyuan and Xiaotong Town know that they have already It suffered several prairie soldiers disasters.

It can be seen from this that the Jingning cement road that Pang Minchen advocated to build stretching for more than [-] miles has no small effect after all.

According to the current progress of the project, Xiaoyue can realize the thorough connection from the capital to Ningxia in about a year.

At that time, Xiao Ming's military towns along the border can be connected in a line, and the support and cooperation between each other will be very close.

That can only shorten the distance between Xiao Ming and the important border towns, and it can also consolidate the stability of Xiao Ming's border.

It can also be seen from this that the merits of that road are already superior to the defense line of the Great Wall along the side.

Now, Pang Minchen is fully supporting Wang Watt's advancement of the standardization and large-scale of the steam engine, until the engineers of the Xishan Institute of Technology thoroughly understand the principle of the steam engine.

Dong Qichang also decided to build a real railway along the Jingning cement road to connect the east and the west, and then go to recover the Western Regions that have been separated from the Central Plains for hundreds of years.

Under the history of the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years, the connection between the Western Regions and the Central Plains Dynasty is also separate and combined.

Since the establishment of the Protectorate of the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty until now, the Western Regions have been drifting in the cultural circle of the Central Plains for 2000 years on and off.

It took nearly a hundred years for the Manchus who came here to go through eight generations of emperors, and then they completely bound the Western Regions to the Chinese map.

Before the late Qing Dynasty, although the Western Regions were not in danger again, the people in the Western Regions at that time had a very strong sense of identity with themselves as the country of the Central Plains.

Therefore, there was no public opinion foundation for You Zongtang to carry the coffin back to Xinjiang that time.

If so, with the national power of the late Qing Dynasty at that time, it is almost possible to have another battle of Zhungeer.

Therefore, in order to ensure that there is no loss of the previous Chinese territory, Dong Qichang must undertake those historical missions. What I have to do is to try my best to maintain Xiao Ming's basic plate, and then expand the small empire that belongs to the Han people!
Only in this way can Dong Qichang be worthy of the time-travel opportunity bestowed on me by the heavens.

If this is the case, Dong Qichang should still do everything, let history develop according to the original track, and then use the hands of the Qing Dynasty to consolidate the foundation of China.Before that, we will use the hands of the Western powers to destroy the Qing Dynasty and restore China.

However, there are many sufferings in doing so, but Pang Minchen himself is the most self-conscious.

The nation has been sinking for hundreds of years, and its spine has been broken. So far, there are still many people who have lost their blood, kneeling on the ground and worshiping foreigners, living a life where foreigners are first-class and Han people are second-class.

Thinking of those spiritual humiliations, Dong Qichang absolutely could accept it.

How can a majestic China, a 7000-year-old civilization, have such weak knees?
It’s okay to be traitors in the sea, after all, they are all from the Li country, but these traitors who have come out of the country can still do their own thing, admiring foreigners and flattering their compatriots.

That Pang Minchen can bear it!

Therefore, I must take up those responsibilities and cut off the soil for the survival of those spiritual traitors.

Only in this way, Dong Qichang will feel that he is worthy of his current status, worthy of his own blood, and worthy of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's historical slogan of expelling the Tartars and restoring China.
