Moving the capital to Beijing has long been determined, but actually moving north means that the strategic focus of the Ming Dynasty has completely shifted. Even for the safety of the capital, the offensive of the Ming army in the north will be resumed to expand the safety range of the capital.
On the other hand, with the emperor sitting in Beijing, a large area south of Beijing can be regarded as safe, which not only stabilizes the people in the north who want to cultivate and seek peace, but also triggers the enthusiasm of some wealthy people to buy land. Similarly, the population in the south
There are also some ordinary people in dense areas who come to cultivate and take root in the preferential policies. After all, the cultivated land in the south is relatively fully developed, and owning your own fields and renting others' fields are two completely different things.
This is the role of policy guidance, which is often more effective than coercion. This method will also be used in the Northeast in the future. The substantial growth in population is foreseeable, and there is no need to worry about no one wanting the land.
When the emperor set off, the ground was supposed to be shaking, and his followers were like clouds. But Zhu Yongxing did not open his arms. Only under the protection of the navy and hundreds of guards, he quietly left Nanjing, went up the canal, and headed towards Beijing.
The people behind the car were just concubines and palace maids, and the chatter was quite majestic.
"You don't need to read it." Sitting on the boat, Zhu Yongxing listened to the messenger's story. He didn't even open the letter, so he waved his hand and said simply: "There is no peace agreement. I only want to surrender unconditionally. Otherwise, I will ignore it.
"
The Manchu Qing sent envoys to request peace. Zhu Yongxing didn't bother to look at the conditions. Under the current situation, although the court's finances were tight, there were still ways to alleviate it. As long as the attack on the Zheng family in Annan and the destruction of the Champaign state were carried out,
Through war seizures, money and materials can be accumulated for a major campaign in the Northeast.
Moreover, with the recovery of the North and the stability of the South, the materials and grain to support the Northeast War will become more and more abundant, and military operations will become more frequent and more violent. If peace is negotiated like this, then Zhu Yongxing's head is simply filled with water.
"Wait a minute." Zhu Yongxing suddenly had a prank idea. He remembered a famous cruel saying and couldn't help laughing: "Give the Tartar envoy a message: If you don't come to surrender, we will use troops every year from now on.
In the summer, your plowing is trampled, and in the autumn, your crops are burned. I am twenty-seven this year, and my teeth will turn white and fall off."
Well, if you don't surrender, right? Then keep fighting. There is no time limit. If there is a time limit, it will be thirty or forty years from twenty to seven to the time when my teeth turn white. I am prepared to fight you for the rest of my life.
Can you sustain it until then?
In fact, since the beginning of spring, the advantages of the Ming army have been reflected, mainly in the navy. Juehua Island is like a nail stuck between Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou. Even the Liaoxi Corridor is facing the threat of the Ming army's navy.
Although the Manchus and Qing Dynasties tried their best to expand their strength, they still took the opportunity to retreat from Shanhaiguan, shrink to the Daling River, and set up front line defenses in Jinzhou.
That is to say, now the Ming army can advance to the Ningyuan line almost without resistance, and then use Juehua as a material hoarding place to form a new round of confrontation with the Qing Dynasty. After the materials are fully prepared, Western Liaoning and Eastern Liaoning will launch a pincer attack, with the lowest target
We can also regain Jinzhou and pose a threat to Shenyang again.
Although the current situation is very favorable, militarily, Zhu Yongxing still insists on using troops cautiously, striving to achieve the most certain victory with overwhelming advantage. For example, in terms of military strength, the quota of the Northeast Military Region is 100,000, which already exceeds that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
The total number of troops that can be mobilized now, and with the assistance of the Beijing Military Region, can be twice that of the enemy.
Of course, the more prudent tactics are to blockade and consume, and to win over the Mongolian tribes to become enemies of the Manchus. Don't confuse the current Northeast with the future "Beidacang". The current Northeast's natural environment is very poor, and the degree of development is very high. Low, if they relied on fishing and hunting for a living, the Manchus would barely survive. Not only would it be difficult to develop and grow, but they would not have the food and supplies needed for military operations.
As for winning over the Mongolian tribes, the Chahar tribe had openly rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, attacked the remaining Qing tribes who fled from the outer wall of Zunhua, ambushed and killed Suksaha, one of the auxiliary ministers, and sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to request "a reward." ". Except for Horqin, the other Mongolian tribes all retreated and waited, and were no longer willing to work for the Manchus. At the same time, the Manchus who had withdrawn from the customs no longer had the materials from the Central Plains to win over and bribe them. When the Manchus If the Qing Dynasty weakens further, it is not difficult to see the Mongolian tribes turning against the Qing Dynasty and attacking the Manchu Qing Dynasty in order to obtain supplies and preferential trade relations from the Ming Dynasty.
So what should be the sign that the Qing Dynasty withdraws from the customs and is further weakened? Zhu Yongxing designated it as Shenyang. As long as the Ming army regains Shenyang, this so-called Longxing place, which was renamed the Qing Dynasty by the Later Jin Dynasty, will prove to the world that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is powerful. It is almost over, and there is no chance of rising again.
"Dangshuo's army can leave Shanhaiguan and advance towards Ningyuan." Zhu Yongxing felt the spring breeze blowing on his face and knew that in the northeast, the cold environment that was very difficult for Ming army soldiers was over. There was no need to start a big war, but military pressure must be maintained. "Only part of the navy was left on Juehua Island, and the garrison was handed over to the Dangshuo Army. To ensure the strength of the Northeast Military Region, the Liaodong War mainly relies on them."
"Your Majesty, the Beijing Military Region has a heavy responsibility and a very wide defense scope. It seems inappropriate to send too many troops into western Liaoning." Ye Hu, Minister of the Ministry of National Security, bowed and said: "Should we expand the army further, or start from scratch?" Move troops elsewhere."
"Finance, before there is any real relief, these soldiers and horses in the north are already close to the limit." Zhu Yongxing shook his head helplessly and said: "The Chahar tribe rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, and other Mongolian tribes were waiting to see, Xuanfu, Datong, The danger in Jizhou has been greatly reduced. According to the strength of the Beijing Army, it is still enough to deal with it. If something really happens, it would be better to hand over Datong to the Northwest Military Region."
The threat from the Donglu is very serious for the time being, because there are too many tribes and it is difficult to unite, so it is not difficult to deal with it, and it is not easy to form a joint force. Moreover, the situation in Monan Mongolia changed due to Chahar's rebellion, and the Ming court and Chahar If you join forces, who dares to act rashly?
"Burni from the Chahar tribe cannot be trusted." Ye Hu reminded cautiously: "Besides, the rewards he wants are a bit too much."
"It's indeed a lot." Zhu Yongxing nodded, but then added: "But you can use other items to replace it. As long as Burney likes it, there will be no problem. For example, a large mirror, but it is worth a lot of money! "
If someone wants money, you give them a big mirror. It seems to be of equal value, but the big mirror is a luxury item and is of no use to the growth of the Chahar Ministry. Moreover, the price of the big mirror is very high, but the cost is very low. It saves the government money.r1152
