More than three months have passed since the battle in Shandong. The situation in Jiangbei is now as Mu Linfeng expected. After Dorgon took advantage of Li Zicheng's defeat of the northern forces, he immediately began to attack the city and plunder the territory. However, because Mu Linfeng had given the enemy in Tianjin before
Dorgon and Manchuria warned him, so Dorgon did not confront Mu Linfeng so blatantly.
The Manchu-Mongolian coalition took advantage of Li Zicheng's defeat and captured the three Jin and northern Shaanxi, as well as Gansu and other places in one fell swoop. Apart from these places, Hong Chengchou led his army to successfully occupy them. In fact, with the Yellow River as the watershed,
The world north of the Yellow River belonged to the Manchus, and the world south of the Yellow River belonged to the Ming and Han Dynasties.
Hong Chengchou had already brought Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and their subordinates to the palace to meet Zhu Yousong. Zhu Yousong originally looked down upon these bandit-born generals, but thinking about the overall situation, he still canonized and rewarded them one by one. Li Zicheng was canonized.
He was the king of Ping, Zhang Xianzhong was the king of Ding and enjoyed the fiefdom. Li Zicheng was in southern Shaanxi and Zhang Xianzhong was in Shandong.
In the past three months, Mu Linfeng rarely went to court to participate in political affairs, but the decisions made by Zhu Yousong were all made with Mu Linfeng's nod, and Mu Linfeng was not depressed because of Long Qingfeng's death.
After more than three months, sadness is inevitable, but sadness is sadness. Some things can't be stopped just because you don't want to do them now.
Mu Linfeng thought of the conversation he had with Long Qingyun and Long Qingsong in the peach forest in Suzhou three months ago. Long Qingsong finally chose to return to the mountains and forests and live a life without fighting against the world, while Long Qingyun seemed to take it lightly.
Time flew by with Long Qingsong. Although Long Qingsong seemed to want Long Qingyun to stay with Mu Linfeng, after all, this was Long Qingyun's own choice and he did not force it.
What Mu Linfeng remembers most clearly is what Long Qingsong said. A man's responsibility is greater than the sky. Even if there is a cliff or a sea of fire in front of him, as long as you carry this burden, you can never look back until you achieve your goal, unless it is...
die.
When Long Qingsong said something at that time, he was already drunk alone. He didn't know whether he meant it to himself to persuade him to cheer up as soon as possible, or whether he meant it to Long Qingyun. In short, Mu Linfeng has now
Decided to continue to carry this burden. As long as he has not fallen, he will not let it go. Even if he is about to fall, he must find someone who can continue to carry this burden forward.
When I first heard Long Qingsong say this, Mu Linfeng thought it was Long Qingsong's hint to himself or Long Qingyun. But now that I think about it, maybe it's because Long Qingsong has missed too much in his life, lost too much, and escaped too much.
Most of all, he probably wanted to place his hope that he could no longer turn back on Mu Linfeng or Long Qingyun.
In the past three months, except when Mu Linfeng was free, he would occasionally think of Long Qingfeng. The rest of the time, he was busy. There were too many things to be busy with. Mu Linfeng's motto at this time was,
What one generation can accomplish should not be left behind for the next generation.
The construction of Japan has been on track. The first batch of foreign merchants have begun to settle in Japan. The new Japanese general office is located in Musashi, which is Tokyo in the future. In order to facilitate his memory, Mu Linfeng also
Musashi was renamed Tokyo.
At the same time, Mu Linfeng also handed over the problem of indifference to injured soldiers discovered during the Shandong Battle to Hong Chengchou to start reforming. All injured soldiers must be rescued with all their strength and cannot be left to fend for themselves on the battlefield. For
The issue of pensions for the wounded has also been properly resolved.
Although it has just begun, this is a great grace for the soldiers who are fighting for the country. Although they shout long live Zhu Yousong, they are more grateful to Mu Linfeng in their hearts. They can only shout in their hearts, "Lord Mu, I will never forget you."
Years old.
The economic construction of the Shanghai Special Economic Zone is relatively stable, and it has gradually moved towards prosperity. Within three months, Shanghai's economic income has more than tripled, and the investment in Shanghai by Western countries has also exceeded original expectations. Today's
Shanghai is undoubtedly the most prosperous port in the East.
Mu Linfeng also established a new port in Weihai. However, this is not for economic reasons, but to deal with Manchuria in the future. This port is temporarily planned for military use, and the shipyard in Huai'an has now more than doubled in size.
, has completely given up on the construction of wooden ships, and has invested entirely in the manufacture of ironclad ships.
In Xiamen, Fujian, Mu Linfeng also built a port, which was similar to the one in Weihai. Weihai was preparing to deal with Manchuria, and Xiamen was naturally preparing to recover Ryukyu.
In addition, Mu Linfeng's biggest move should be in Hainan. Not only did he build the largest military base here, he also built the largest military port. Due to Hainan's unique geographical location, it can rival Ryukyu.
It will become Mu Linfeng’s fixed maritime aircraft carrier to deal with South Asia in the future.

At the same time, Mu Linfeng also deployed more than 200,000 troops to the Yunnan border, fully armed. Now, apart from the sea and Manchuria in the northeast, the threat to the Central Plains is Vietnam's greatest threat, which should not be underestimated.
However, all the above deeds are inseparable from the word money. Building ports requires money, building ships requires money, iron factories and firearms factories require money, increasing the welfare of casualties in war requires money, and Japan's construction problems also require money. To increase military strength,
Yunnan needs money, and building an immovable aircraft carrier out of thin air in Hainan needs money even more.
Therefore, this is naturally inseparable from Jiangnan's fiscal revenue. Shi Kefa did a good job in this regard. He, Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Chen Zilong and others made the largest, most detailed and most accurate budget for Jiangnan's economic characteristics. According to
The production characteristics of the counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River have been clearly planned.
At this moment, even Wumei Village, which had been reluctant to come out, was invited out by Huang Zongxi. Huang Zongxi boasted about how good he was at the economy before, but it was not entirely false. As long as Wumei Village kept the accounts, there had never been any mistakes.
Moreover, Wumeicun also suggested to Mu Linfeng that Jiangnan should not only be valued, but that Jiangbei should receive as much attention as Jiangnan, which touched Mu Linfeng's heart.
What Wu Meicun said is right. Even in later generations, the differences between the north and the south of the dynasty are very big, not only the north and the south, but also the east and west... Regarding the development of Jiangbei and the west, the later dynasties have already understood the situation. Since Mu Linfeng comes from
In future generations, now it has become the ancestor of future generations, so this matter cannot be left to people in later generations to do it.
Mu Linfeng originally didn't have a good impression of Wumei Village. One month after Wumei Village agreed to help Huang Zongxi, Mu Linfeng refused to see him. However, after hearing this remark, Mu Linfeng made an exception and met with Wumei Village once.
Wumeicun was in his early forties at this time, short and lean, with the aura of a Jiangnan literati. If Mu Linfeng was to tell the truth, although Wumeicun had passed his forties, he was still charming, especially the people in Wumeicun
Those eyes could move and come alive according to the tone of his words, and Wumeicun's speech had obvious characteristics of a literati, gentle and elegant, but also argumentative.
It was at that meeting that Mu Linfeng decided to entrust the development planning of Jiangbei to Wumei Village. After all, it was enough to have Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu on the Jiangnan side.
Originally, during that meeting, Mu Linfeng wanted Wu Meicun to meet Bian Yujing, but it happened that Bian Yujing, Gu Meisheng, and Kou Baimen took Mu Mu to the temple to honor the gods and fulfill their vows.
In the past three months, the Westerners and the Manchu-Mongolian coalition forces have not made any moves. For them, Mu Linfeng did not stir up trouble. They can already burn high incense. How can they still cause trouble, especially the Manchu-Mongolian coalition forces?
, If it weren’t for the recent excessive spending and the need for economic support for development in all aspects, Mu Linfeng would have sailed the warship to the Bohai Sea and installed the steam cannon at the gate of Beijing.
And in the past three months, the royal family of North Korea has secretly sent commissioners no less than four or five times, requesting to see Mu Linfeng. The North Koreans seemed to have realized that Mu Linfeng dominated the world, and it was only a matter of time before the Manchus were destroyed.
problem, so he secretly came to flatter Mu Linfeng again and again.
Mu Linfeng hadn't seen him a few times before, and he had never had a good impression of North Korea. This nation of stick people had always been a mere outsider, and they could be said to be brothers in trouble with Japan in later generations. They were both equally shameless. Mu Linfeng wished he could just send a warship over to invade the country now.
It was settled, but when I thought about it later, North Korea was actually quite pitiful. It had always been a vassal state of the Central Plains and did not even have a history of its own. This is also the tragedy of a small country.
North Korea has always been sandwiched between the Central Plains, Russia, and Japan. For its own interests, even if it doesn't want to, it has naturally become a wallflower. Mu Linfeng thought at this time, Japan has become a province of the Central Plains, and North Korea will definitely become a province in the future.
To completely remove the title of vassal state, why has China never truly recovered North Korea since ancient times?
Mu Linfeng decided to correct this mistake, not only North Korea, but also the lost land north of the Northeast, the grasslands of Outer Mongolia, the Ryukyus in the Southeast China Sea... all of these places that should have belonged to the territory of the country would have to be cleared one by one for the rest of the day.
Take back sovereignty.
