Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 203 The Ming Emperor Arrives in the Loyal City of Guangzhou
Chapter [-]: The Ming Emperor Arrives in the Loyal City of Guangzhou

Zhu Daohua is ready to return to Guangzhou.

Because there will not be many wars in Liaodong in winter.

Instead, he was more concerned about the situation on the other side of the Indian Ocean.

So in this winter, he will take the court officials to Guangzhou, the southern capital of Ming Dynasty, to spend the winter.

And before leaving Liaodong.

Zhu Daohua also wanted to inspect the preparations in front of Shanhaiguan for the last time.

After the Joseon king Li Zong proclaimed himself a vassal in the above table, he recruited tens of thousands of Korean laborers to serve under the tent of the Liaodong Army in accordance with the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, the problem of labor shortage in the Liaodong Army has been temporarily solved.

This is part of a series of forward fortifications built by the Ming army near Shanhaiguan.

Under the eyes of the Qing army, a semi-permanent military camp was built to hoard supplies of soldiers and horses.

Just wait for the weather to warm up, and rely on these fortifications that are almost under the noses of the Qing army's Shanhaiguan defenders to launch an attack.

Facing the behavior of the Ming army, Agui, the general of the Qing army in Shanhaiguan, turned a deaf ear to it. In fact, he had no choice, because if he wanted to organize the Ming army to build fortifications, he had to send a large army out of the customs. It's really not very confident.

So just let it go.

"That's right, we have to finish the construction before it's completely frozen, and then send these tens of thousands of North Koreans back, otherwise the pressure on the army rations will be too great."

Zhu Daohua rode on the horse and smiled at Peng Jun who had just been transferred from the front line.

Of course, Peng Jun was recalled because Zhu Daohua left Liaodong, and he needed to appoint a Liaodong Army Corps Commander.

Peng Jun made a great contribution this time.

The First World War defeated the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai of the Qing government and killed more than [-] people. The third front army directly pushed the front line to Fengtian. As a result, the area south of the line from Vladivostok to Fengtian in the northern part of Liaobei was brought under the control of Ming Dynasty.

There is this credit.

Peng Junrong was promoted to the commander of the Liaodong Army, and it was logical that he became the governor of Liao after breaking through Shanhaiguan.

"Judging from the current progress, there should be no problem." Peng Jun said with a smile, "In the spring of next year, the army can start. Although the Shanhai Pass is heavily fortified, it is nothing more than a delay."

Zhu Daohua nodded: "I'm not worried that Shanhaiguan will be difficult to attack, but Liaobei will continue to drive the remnants of the Qing Dynasty to the north of the Songhua River to ensure that the area from Anshan to Fushun will completely become the rear and will not be harassed by the war. In addition, Fengtian and Shengjing also needs to change its name, it can’t be called Fengtian or Shengjing.”

"What the emperor said is very true. Fengtian and Shengjing are the names chosen by the Qing Dynasty. The meaning is self-evident. Now that we have taken it back, we must not call it this name again."

Tao Biquan, the military advisor on the other side, laughed.

"Liaodi was Liaodong County at the time of the two lines. It is better to set up a Liaodong Province. In addition, Fengtian was called Houcheng in the Han Dynasty. It was the capital of the central part of Liaodong County. During the Three Kingdoms, it belonged to Xuantu County. During the Tang Dynasty , belongs to the "Shenzhou" of the Anton Governor's Mansion. How about restoring the old name and calling it Shenzhou Mansion?"

"Shenzhou Mansion in Liaodong Province is not bad." Zhu Daohua said with a smile, the name doesn't really matter.

The key is to change Fengtian, which has a strong political meaning.

"Your Majesty, in the land of Liaodong, Shenzhou and Kuancheng should be the most important when it comes to the importance of geographical location. Fushun, Anshan is just a small place. Why does your majesty value it so much?"

Peng Jun asked.

"Anshan has iron, and Fushun has coal, and it's not ordinary iron or ordinary coal!"

Zhu Daohua said.

They are rich iron ore and coal mines with very little sulfur content.

The quality is probably the best in all of Asia, and the key is not far off.

This will become another important heavy industry base of the Ming Empire.

It is a coal and iron industrial belt that can be ranked first in the world, and can be compared with the industrial belt in the Ruhr area of ​​Germany.

Of course Zhu Daohua will pay attention to it.

This time he returned to Guangzhou, in addition to paying attention to the war in South Asia.

Another important thing is to attract investment for the coal and iron industry belt in Liaodong.

If we want to start an industry, we must first open mines, build roads, and invest in infrastructure construction in the early stage. Especially for land like Liaodong that has been barren for decades, if it is to be developed, the initial investment is not small.

Anshan iron, Fushun coal?
Peng Jun and Tao Biquan looked at each other, how did Emperor Zhu know about this?
He sent Jin Yiwei to check in advance?
Jin Yiwei is an intelligence agency, not in charge of prospecting.

What's more, Fushun, Anshan is surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, so it is not easy to go in and explore for mines.

under these circumstances.

Emperor Zhu is so sure that there are big iron ore mines, big coal mines?

This is too mysterious.

Both of them are Confucian scholars, so naturally they don't talk about strange power and confusion.

But Emperor Zhu is too amazing, right?
The two were full of doubts.

Emperor Zhu did not explain either.

How can he explain?

Fortunately, he is now a dictator.

If he says what he says, the people below will do what he says.

No explanation is necessary.

And when the Ming emperor sailed south and headed for the city of Guangzhou.

Qianlong in the capital was furious when he got the news brought back by Liu Yong.

"Too deceitful! It's too deceitful!"

Qianlong's face was blackened by Zhu Daohua's condition.

This is basically the condition for the extermination of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, so it's no wonder he agrees.

"Zhu Daohua is trying to force my Eight Banners to my death!"

Qianlong took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty, it seems that we can only fight one game first. If Shanhaiguan can withstand it, then everything will be fine." He Shen said with a sigh.

Can Shanhaiguan survive?

Not only He Shen, but even Qianlong himself didn't have much confidence.

'We can only play one game first, but fortunately, winter is coming soon, and there is still some time. '

Qianlong said.

"In addition, send people to invite the two Living Buddhas Zhangjia Hutuktu and Jebtsundamba Hutuktu to the capital!"

Zhu Daohua focused his attention on these two living Buddhas of the Yellow Sect, making Qianlong realize that the current Mobei and Monan grasslands are of greater significance to the Qing Dynasty.

To some extent.

This is the retreat route of the Qing Dynasty, or the channel of escape.

If they were blocked in the Central Plains by the Ming army, the whole clan would really be wiped out.

Liaodong in November has already started to frost.

In November, there are still some heat waves in Guangzhou.

Zhu Daohua returned to Guangzhou in late November.

When the ship of His Majesty the Ming Emperor was docking at the port of Guangzhou.

Almost all the prominent figures in the city of Guangzhou came to the edge of the port.

Many people in Guangzhou City also flocked to the outskirts of the port, stretching their necks on their feet, hoping to catch a glimpse of the sky.

Now Guangzhou is definitely the most prosperous city in the world.

A large number of factories on both sides of the Pearl River estuary attracted migrant workers from Guangdong, Guangxi, and even Fujian, Jiangxi, and Hunan.

The influx of a large number of people has led to rising housing prices and land prices in Guangzhou City.

Rising house and land prices.

The direct beneficiary is of course the local Lao Guang in Guangzhou.

And Lao Guang, who owns land in Guangzhou, is all descendants of the heroes of the Ming court.

The roots are red.

He made a fortune because of the rise in land prices.

When the local old Cantonese in Guangzhou mentioned His Majesty the Restoration Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, of course they all raised their thumbs up and proudly said, "Our Guangdong is the land of Longxing in the new Ming Dynasty."

Now, the rich men in Guangdong, who generally have bulging pockets, rushed to tell each other when they heard that His Majesty the Emperor would be stationed in Guangzhou this winter.

The emperor's fellow countrymen did not forget the folks in Guangdong, and the status of Guangzhou's southern capital is not just a symbolic meaning.

This at least shows that the prosperity of Guangzhou can be guaranteed.

Housing prices in Guangzhou will not fall!

And because of the fact that the emperor will be stationed in Guangzhou in winter, it has risen again.

This made the old Guang's loyalty to the emperor more secure.

"Here it is, it's Tuanlong Banner."

"The guards are down, hurry up, get out of the way!"

"When the Son of Heaven goes out, the nobles bow their hands, and the common people bow!"

Following the voice of the left-behind officials in Nandu.

The Tuanlong flag, which symbolizes the emperor of Ming Dynasty, came down from the huge battleship first.

"Long live! Long live my emperor!"

The sound of long live the mountain roar and the tsunami was like thunder.

The officials who came to the port to greet them, the local nobles of the Ming Dynasty with titles in Guangzhou, and the rich locals who came to the port to watch the excitement all cheered.

It should be said that the people in Daming are the most loyal to the Emperor Guangfu.

The Guangzhou people in Guangzhou City must be ranked first.

In a shout of long live.

Zhu Daohua stepped off the battleship.

Almost a year has passed.

His Majesty the Ming Emperor has returned to the loyal Guangzhou.
