I'm a big dick

Chapter 320 If You Are Well, What's Happening? !
Jinzhou and Dalinghe completed the fortifications, but Jiannu still stood still?
Zhu Youxiao was still quite surprised when he received Xiong Tingbi's urgent concert.

With so many cannons prepared, I wanted to have a battle of Dalinghe that was different from history, and once again set back Jiannu, laying a better foundation for this year's counterattack.

But Jiannu acted as if he didn't see it, so Zhu Youxiao couldn't help complaining: When did they become blind?
Zhu Youxiao wasn't too disappointed when his expectations came to nothing. Jiannu had suffered losses one after another in the tough battles, so how could he come over foolishly again?

In fact, from this point of view, the old slave is still wise, while Huang Taiji is a little worried.But we can't say who is superior and who is inferior. We can only find the reason from their experience and mentality.

After the recovery of Jinzhou and Dalinghe, the next step is Youtunwei and Guangning.The further to the east, the longer the Ming army's supply line, the more careful the plan and the more investment.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the sand table and roughly estimated that it would take three or four months to fully prepare.

But when the emperor's eyes turned to southern Liaoning, he shook his head again and decided to continue to put pressure on Jiannu in western Liaoning.Even if it is not a stable occupation, cavalry should be sent out to Youtunwei, or even Guangning.

Next, weapons, equipment, personnel and materials will be tilted towards Dongjiang Town, especially the brigade Daming Army. The goal is to win at least two guards in southern Liaoning this year.

The Dongjiang Headquarters also has a plan. The small one is to harass Jiannu and win more Liao people to escape; the big purpose is to firmly occupy the Zhenjiang area and form a situation of entrapping the river with Yizhou and Tieshan.

Although it is said to be arranged in four directions, North Korea's military strength is too weak, the siege and blockade are okay, and the attack is fine.

In other words, the Ming army has now formed a favorable situation for three-sided siege.Whether it is launched at the same time or one after another in turn, Jiannu will be passive and even exhausted.

If you are well, how come?

Zhu Youxiao patted the wooden frame of the sand table lightly, smiling very proudly.

The three guards in southern Liaoning and the Zhenjiang area have almost forced Jiannu into the inland of Liaoshen.At that time, not to mention food supplies, even salt will make Jiannu unable to eat.

Thinking of salt, Zhu Youxiao lowered his eyes again.

In Xia Zhongshi, he has served as the inspector of salt and inspected salt fields in various places in order to formulate more rigorous and scientific management methods and lay a solid foundation for the introduction of the ticket salt law.

If it can be implemented smoothly, the salt industry will be another big income item, and this year's finances will continue to improve again.

And the Imperial Bank is issuing silver dollars. Judging from the current quantity, merchants and common people have a high degree of acceptance. The process of abolishing the two coins and changing the coins should be much earlier than the original plan.

Actions to crack down on officials and businessmen were also launched. Zhu Youxiao was not polite to those who were lucky.

As for the entry of glass products and mirrors, it flows into the inner warehouse.Although it is domestic money, Zhu Youxiao has never been stingy when it should be spent.

Coupled with the cleanup of hidden arrears and the success of Qingtun's payment, the frontier army's food and payment have also been guaranteed, and there is even a lot of surplus.

For more than a year, the reforms introduced by the emperor were finally implemented under the threat of severe punishment and beheading.Although there are still shortcomings and dead ends, great results have been seen.

Zhu Youxiao also knew that the damaged interest groups were resentful, and even secretly prepared to resist.

But fighting against the emperor who has a constitution, a sharp knife in his hand, and the most important thing is that he can even give up his face.It should be very appropriate to use the idiom of "mantis arm as a cart".

While Zhu Youxiao suppressed the old interest group, he also supported another interest group.This interest group is dominated by the three major chambers of commerce, as well as officials and subordinates who have benefited from the reform.

This is a group that supports the emperor and is in favor of reform, and its scale will continue to expand, becoming a powerful assistant against the old interest groups.

And with the emperor's support, the emerging forces will eventually crush the old clique and smash it into pieces.

I am not fighting alone!
Zhu Youxiao thought of Shen Tingyang, Xia Zhongshi, Li Dan, Yan Siqi, Wu Dazhang, as well as capable officials in the court and local areas.

This is just a civil servant, and many military generals have been subdued by him to serve him, and they are closely united around the emperor, making meritorious deeds, and aiming to become a marquis.

"My lord—" Wang Tiqian entered the palace with a habitual smile and reported, "Concubine Yu has been summoned and is waiting outside the palace."

After a pause, Wang Tiqian added: "The servant did not let the empress get off the sedan chair, so I ask the emperor not to punish me."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "My companion did a good job." Then he walked towards the entrance of the hall.Lao Wang followed behind him attentively, and thoughtfully put a fur on the emperor at the gate of the palace.

Walking outside the hall, Zhu Youxiao came to the sedan chair and signaled the palace servants to open the curtain of the sedan chair, and then saw Zhang Yu'er with foot stoves under his feet and sleeve stoves in his arms.

Zhang Yu'er pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, and walked out with the help of the palace servants.She is already pregnant, and with the thick fur, she looks even more bloated.

"Be careful." Wang Tiqian told the maid beside him.

Zhu Youxiao pointed and said with a smile: "Let's go, look at Xiaobai, and a litter of cubs."

Zhang Yu'er's body became heavier and he walked less in the palace. Hearing that the emperor said that Xiao Bai was born, he didn't say anything, but he really wanted to come and see.

Zhu Youxiao could see that it was not easy to bring all the cats, so he called Zhang Yuer to watch.

Xiaobai's first shit shoveler is also a mother, and Zhu Youxiao is basically obedient.

But Zhang Yuer knew the importance and never made excessive demands.Sometimes I think in my heart, but I don't say it.

Zhu Youxiao led Zhang Yu'er into the warm pavilion, and Li Chengcheng hurried up to greet him.

"It's you!" Zhang Yu'er still remembered this maid who sold goods in the royal shop, she nodded with a smile, and then looked away to find the cat that she hadn't seen for a long time.

Li Chengcheng stepped forward to support Zhang Yu'er, and led him to a corner of the warm pavilion, where the cat tree cat nest is.

Zhang Yu'er saw Xiaobai lying lazily in the nest at a glance, with a few fur balls snuggling up to it, sleeping or hugging.

When Ye Hei saw the stranger, he arched his body and watched vigilantly.

Zhang Yu'er smiled so much that her eyes were bent into crescents, but she didn't make too much noise. She sat down in the chair brought by the palace man and looked at it intently.

Meow!Ye Hei made a sound of dissatisfaction, as if he was very displeased with strangers looking at his wife and children like this.

"Hehe, you don't know me anymore." Zhang Yu'er stretched out her hand and nodded, and said with a smile: "At Liangfei's place, did I meet you by holding Xiaobai?"

Xiaobai lazily turned his head, although it took a long time, he still recognized the shit shovel officer, and made a gentle cry, as if to say hello.

"Xiaobai is really amazing!" Zhang Yuer looked at Xiaobai with envy and doting eyes, and praised: "Six babies were born in one go!"

Meow!Xiaobai uttered a cry, as if he could understand it.

From Xiaobai's cry, Ye Hei recognized the intimacy, and relaxed his vigilant demeanor.

Zhang Yu'er looked at the little Mao Tuan'er one by one, couldn't hide her fondness, and the smile on her face was happier and warmer.

"Ma'am, this is their ranking." Li Chengcheng presented a piece of paper to Zhang Yu'er.

Oh, Zhang Yuer froze for a moment, took it over and looked at it, it turned out that the little hairballs ranked the eldest and the second according to their characteristics and birth order.

"You are really careful." Zhang Yu'er looked at Li Chengcheng and praised him, then looked for the features on the paper among the little fur balls, laughing cheerfully from time to time.

A little furball with its eyes closed crawled to the edge of the nest.

"Put it back quickly." Zhang Yu'er stretched out her finger, afraid of falling to the ground, although the cat's nest is not high from the ground at all.

Li Chengcheng hurriedly hugged the little guy to his mother again, Zhang Yuer glanced at the paper, giggled and said, "You are the youngest and the most dishonest."

Zhu Youxiao only looked around, and then entered the inner room of the warm pavilion, but the voices outside were still clearly audible.

Zhang Yuer's love comes from the heart, and Zhu Youxiao actually doesn't have much resistance to the cute little Mao Tuan'er.

Hearing his daughter-in-law's cheerful laughter, Zhu Youxiao was also infected, thinking with a smile: After she gave birth, if she is willing to raise a child, she can hug one.

There were several memoirs on the desk, and Zhu Youxiao took one casually and flipped through it.

Hu Yingtai, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, is very old. He has served as the military division, the deputy envoy of the Jiangxi inspection department, and the imperial servant. He also caressed Yingtian.

Hu Yingtai also did a good job during his tenure as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, ensuring the safety of southern Daming.

And this memorial is Hu Yingtai's reply to the emperor's inquiry.The first is the plan and progress of the development of Hainan Island, and the second is the situation of Annan and Champa.

Zhu Youxiao not only inquired about Hu Yingtai, but also collected information from maritime merchants traveling to Southeast Asia, and ordered the Zhenfu Department to send Jin Yiwei to spy.

Starting from subduing maritime merchants and purchasing grain from the Southeast Asian countries, Zhu Youxiao set his sights on those small countries.

Champa is famous for Champa Rice, imported from Songcheng, it can be said that countless lives have been saved, and it has also supported the population growth of Chinese people.

Annan in history was known for his rebelliousness and capriciousness.

In the fifth year of Yongle, because Annan attacked the Daming vassal state, Chengzu Ming Chengzu sent Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu to crusade against the Hu Dynasty in Vietnam and wiped it out in one fell swoop.

In the 16th year of Yongle, the Vietnamese Le Li rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and established the Hou Le Dynasty ten years later, officially breaking away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, the Hou Li Dynasty only exists in name, and Annan has formed a confrontation between South Nguyen and North Zheng.

The northern Zheng was strong, but the southern Ruan was a little weaker, so they invaded and expanded south from time to time, and often fought with the Champa Kingdom.Champa is struggling to hold on, and has little power to fight back.

Zhu Youxiao is not yet ready to make a big move, and the consumption of multi-line operations is not what the current national strength of Ming Dynasty can bear.

However, based on the intelligence of all parties and the vision of Zhu Youxiao's descendants, he found that the current Mekong Delta is still an undeveloped and desolate place.

And there will be one of the world's largest rice producing areas in the future. For Zhu Youxiao, who wants to stockpile food to prepare for shortages, it is simply a gift from God.

Heaven's gift is not taken, sin is sin!
Since it is a wasteland, whoever occupies it will own it.With the newly built navy, the southern army, and even armed immigrants, they can also occupy that fertile land.

As long as there is enough labor, rice can be grown there.The Ming Dynasty had a stable and high-yield grain base, and it was more certain to survive the famine of the Little Ice Age.

The input cost is not high, and almost does not require too much force. It is mainly the initial investment in resettling immigrants.

Zhu Youxiao was thinking about how to add another piece of territory to Daming, and another naval base.This is an inconspicuous place in the eyes of others, but it has become the first step of Zhu Youxiao's expansion.

Picking up the pen, Zhu Youxiao scribbled and wrote a reply to Hu Yingtai.

From a geographical point of view, Guangdong and Guangxi will play an important role in this operation.However, judging from the money and food income of Guangdong and Guangxi, it is not enough to support it.

But if the immigrants are replaced by the army, they can not only fight wars, but also open up wasteland and farm land, which can save a lot of money and food.According to the harvest of Champa rice, it only takes one year to be self-sufficient; in the second year, it can export surplus.

Three thousand troops and their families, the number of the first batch should be no problem.Of course there must be an incentive policy, and ten to three should be acceptable, and make the immigrants quite enthusiastic, right?

Well, the navy has invested so much, and it should do some work, so I can see the money back!
After Zhu Youxiao wrote the reply to Hu Yingtai, he wrote while thinking, and made a rough plan.Although it still needs to be discussed and perfected, but with this vision, it is already invincible.

The sound of light footsteps interrupted Zhu Youxiao's thinking. When he looked up, Zhang Yu'er walked in with Li Chengcheng's support.

"The emperor." Zhang Yu'er lowered her head to salute, because she did not dare to disobey the emperor's wishes, Shi Quanli was going to make the emperor angry again.

Zhu Youxiao put down his pen, got up to greet him, sat on the bed with his wife in his arms, waved his hand, and waved Li Chengcheng away.

"Xiaobai is really amazing." Zhang Yuer felt the emperor's arms around her waist, and she pursed her lips and smiled, "All the kittens are cute."

Zhu Youxiao chuckled, and said, "When you're done giving birth, raise yourself up, and if you want a kitten, you can hug one."

Zhang Yu'er looked at the emperor in surprise, and couldn't believe such a good thing for a while.

"Cats are not good for pregnant women, so I won't let you keep them." Zhu Youxiao patted Zhang Yuer's little hand, and said with a smile: "When you have your own child, maybe you won't have the idea of ​​keeping a cat. "

Zhang Yu'er lowered her head, caressing her high bulging belly, blushed with happiness, and said softly: "The concubine has made up her mind, the kitten is cute, and I won't take it back."

Zhu Youxiao gave a "hmm", a little strangely, stretched out his hand to pick up Zhang Yuer's chin, and asked, "Why, I liked it so much just now, so eagerly!"

Zhang Yu'er suddenly opened her big eyes, and said quietly: "The kitten will not recognize her after leaving her mother, right? Xiaobai will be very sad if he loses his child."

Zhu Youxiao really didn't think too much about it. In the memory of his previous life, didn't he just buy kittens and puppies and take them home to raise them?How can I still think of the feelings of the kitten and the sadness of the mother cat?

What a kind woman, Zhu Youxiao nodded, stroking Zhang Yuer's swollen belly, feeling proud and lucky to have such a daughter-in-law, and also happy for the child in her belly.
