The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 592 Fire Tree Silver Flower Never Night

There are hundreds of large and small rivers that originate from the Yanshan Mountains and flow through the Liaoxi Corridor. As long as large and small reservoirs are built for small watershed management, it is not a dream to keep harvests from droughts and floods.

The key is that the investment is huge, who would dare to throw real money away except Huang Sheng?Aren't they afraid that Jiannu will come and plunder once and everything will be wiped out?

Who can have the courage to put millions of taels of silver into water conservancy facilities?Landlords and rich people, high-ranking officials and dignitaries are probably unprofitable goods, and the risk of investing outside the customs is huge. Who would dare to try?Huang Sheng did his part.

Adding [-] strong laborers to cultivate in Zhongmingbao will increase the sown area by more than [-] mu. The grain output in the coming year will prevent too many ordinary people in the north from starving to death. The grain here will naturally attract more ordinary people who cannot survive. Take refuge, and the population will double over time.

The next step is to manage the area from the west of Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan as solid as gold, so that there is no difference between this place and the pass.

Huang Sheng didn't plan to build any city or a side wall like the Great Wall, he just needed to build a trench-based position in the area where the cavalry could rush in groups.

Just like the later defensive positions in the early [-]th century, relying on these semi-permanent fortifications to guard the dangerous point in the west of Ningyuan is enough to deal with the attack of the Tartars and slave cavalry.

The cost of building such fortifications is much less than that of building the Great Wall, and the defense will be strengthened. There is also an additional advantage, that is, you can choose to lure the enemy into the battle and attack, and you can get the harvest after the attack.

Under normal circumstances, the enemy soldiers and horses attacked the Great Wall and the city, and the Ming army successfully held on, but they could only watch the enemy drag away the corpses and retreat.

Trench warfare would not be so tragic. As long as the enemies entering the battle, with the fighting power of the Huang family, none of them can escape, and both the dead and the living will be captured.

The Huang family has a lot of horses, so of course they have to leave a heavy garrison in Zhongmingbao in order to operate the Liaoxi Corridor for a long time.

He Kegang and Lu Zhi brought a group of civil and military personnel from Jinzhou to thank Nan Guogong in the Chinese army camp in the south of Jinzhou, but unfortunately they did not see him.

Wang Yingchao and Liu Guozheng met them, and He Kegang and others knew that Nan Guogong was unwell and had been checked on the warship, and he might need further hospitalization.

He Kegang's battle last night can be said to be full of pride and elation. He planned to kill more than 300 Jiannu soldiers, more than [-] Tartars, more than [-] stick soldiers, and about [-] soldiers from the Later Jin and Han Dynasties.

He sincerely came to thank Nan Guogong for saving his life, who knew that he dragged his sick body to support the command, and now that the dust had settled, he couldn't hold on any longer and was finally bedridden.

The hero sighed endlessly, his eyes filled with tears, and the original joy immediately dimmed a lot...

----

On the outer street of Chongwenmen in the capital, riding Juechen, the knights shouted all the way: "Great victory in Jinzhou, great victory in Jinzhou, the slaves fled in the wilderness, and the men and horses of the Southern Kingdom entered Jinzhou City..."

There was a sensation in the capital, "cracking..." Firecrackers sounded on the street, and then the whole city was set off with firecrackers. Too many people came to the street to cheer, and the festive shouts went straight to the sky....

In the imperial city, the energetic and energetic Emperor Chongzhen came to the Huangji Hall with great strides, and the civil servants and generals had been waiting for a long time.

Xiong Mingyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, saluted cheerfully and said, "Your Majesty, I am overjoyed. The Duke of Nanguo succeeded in rescuing Jinzhou, and the slaves and chieftains were defeated and fled to the east. My Ming lost very little in this battle, while the slaves in the East suffered heavy losses. The luggage abandoned outside Jinzhou is not counted. Quite a few!"

All the civil and military officials knelt down in unison and said: "Your Majesty is blessed and blessed, long live long live!"

"Everyone who loves you is flat, Xiong Aiqing, do you know how much the Duke of Nanguo has won?"

Xiong Mingyu replied: "Your Majesty, Jianu has just retired, and the harvest is still being counted. There should be a pond report in a few days."

Chongzhen said with a smile on his face: "I have passed the decree to return to the imperial court, and I will reward you generously!"

Zhang Weixian, who was standing in the front row of the honorary team on the left side of the emperor's throne, felt a little bit in his heart. He didn't feel any joy at all when he learned that his son-in-law had won a complete victory under the city of Jinzhou.

Because this was expected, the emperor ordered his son-in-law to return to the capital today, if the boy is disobedient and dares to come to the capital to wander around, it may be difficult to escape.

Although he was anxious, he still kept his usual smile and could not raise any objections. The scheming British prince planned in his heart that he would send his confidants to Jinzhou to find a son-in-law as soon as the court was over, and only spread a word: Don't forget it.

Emperor Chongzhen had made up his mind a long time ago, and summoned the Duke of Nanguo to give him the title of county king. From now on, he will let Huang Sheng enjoy the glory and wealth in the capital, and never let him leave again, that is, to support this "God of War" .

Wanggongchang Street was very lively. It was Lan Shangyi who organized many floats to parade through the city, put up many banners and printed many leaflets to publicize the great achievements of Nanguo Gong.

There were too many parade teams formed by the top and most popular superstars of the Ming Dynasty, which really attracted attention, and the people of the capital also responded positively. The mighty team was getting bigger and bigger, and the team went out of the inner city to the outer city, pushing the celebration to a climax.

When night comes, gorgeous fireworks bloom one by one in the night sky, which is exactly the scene of Fire Trees, Silver Flowers and Nights.

Caier's crew chose open spaces to build three gigantic stages on Wanggongchang Street in the inner city of the capital, Guangqumen Inner Street in the outer city, and Chongwenmen Outer Street in the outer city. They planned to perform for free until midnight for the people of the capital.

Zhang Zhiji was very nervous. With such a large-scale gathering of ordinary people, the security work must not be ambiguous in the slightest. Maintaining order will also test the mobilization ability of the soldiers and horses of the five cities!
The heat of the summer night in mid-May has just disappeared, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard from the festooned Jingshi Street.

The laughing people of Shengdou and the pretentious dignitaries crowded together to enjoy a show together. Too many people couldn't understand the lyrics at all, and could only understand the lyrics through the illuminated subtitles below the stage that said the performance sponsored by "Huaxia Big Bank".

I'm sorry, but the Huang family's awareness of advertising is ubiquitous. How can such a rare popularity not be widely advertised?
Fortunately, although all the famous red officials on the stage today, no one sang new songs. Songs familiar to the soldiers, civilians and officials of the Ming Dynasty were staged again, and finally tens of thousands of people sang the same song...

Just like the concerts of later generations, I don’t know who is taking the lead, and there will be thunderous shouts when big stars come on stage to perform. They shouted familiar names one by one with excitement on their faces.

"Like a dream, like a dream, sing again..."

"Liu Rushi, one more song..."

"Mei'er, don't leave in a hurry, we still want to hear your singing..."...

The Chongzhen Emperor, who was also in a good mood, was accompanied by Wang Chengen, looking thoughtfully at the direction of Wang Gongchang from the singing through the binoculars.
