Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 677
The people in the capital can finally have a good year. They bought a large amount of grain from these grain stores opened by Zhao Wen, which can allow them to survive this winter.

In addition to the capital city, there are grain stores opened by Zhao Wen in all the prefectures and counties of Northern Zhili.

The reason why Zhao Wen did this was not to say that Zhao Wen had so much food that there was no place to put it, but that he used this method to win the hearts of the people in the capital as much as possible.

Zhao Wen's goal in the future is the whole world, so population is very important to him.

The capital is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and Beizhili is also the place with the largest population in the Ming Dynasty. For Zhao Wen, one less death would be the one less death.

At this time, Chongzhen also returned to the Nuan Pavilion.

There are several copper stoves filled with charcoal in the warm pavilion.

Inside the warm pavilion was steaming and warm like spring, Chongzhen sat in the warm pavilion, looking dully at the heavy snow outside the window.

Chongzhen didn't have any intention of reviewing the memorials, and the number of memorials sent to Chongzhen in the past few days has been decreasing at a geometrical rate.

Obviously, the hearts of most officials in the capital are no longer with the court.

At this moment, Gao Qiqian hurried into the warm pavilion with a bamboo tube.

"Your Majesty, the [-] miles from Shandong has been rushed." Gao Qiqian walked in front of Chongzhen and said anxiously.

Chongzhen came back to his senses, looked at Gao Qiqian, "Take it here."

Gao Qiqian hurriedly sent the eight hundred miles to Chongzhen's hands.

Chongzhen turned on the eight hundred miles to speed up and looked up.

After reading it, Chongzhen hurriedly threw the [-] in his hand on the table.

"Shandong has completely fallen!" Chongzhen leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.

Chongzhen clearly understood what the fall of Shandong meant to the current imperial court.

When Shandong fell, the capital was completely blocked in the north, and there was no longer any vitality at all.

……

Xuanzhen's New Year's Eve is extremely lively, and the sky is full of gorgeous fireworks.

The streets and alleys were full of laughter and laughter, the adults accompanied the children to watch the new year, and the whole Xuan Town was beaming with joy.

When the sun just rose from the horizon the next day, there was a resounding sound of copper bells from the imperial palace in the center of Xuan Town.

The people who heard the sound of the copper bell understood that the ringing of the copper bell represented that the year of Chongzhen had completely passed and ushered in the first year of Qiyuan.

Zhao Wen stood on the palace wall of the palace, looked at Xuanzhen in front of him, and said confidently: "In the first year of Qiyuan, the journey of the empire has just begun!"

That night, Zhao Wen sat in the imperial study, making plans for the future.

In another year at most, the country will be completely calmed down.

However, Zhao Wen's purpose is not just that, in Zhao Wen's plan, the whole world is still waiting for him to conquer.

Although these things are still a bit far away for Zhao Wen now, he must be prepared in advance.

In Zhao Wen's plan, after the end of the civil war, at most five years later, the journey must begin.

In the next two or three days, Zhao Wen worked out a general plan.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Qiyuan, Zhao Wen held a great court meeting.

Sitting in the Golden Luan Hall, Zhao Wenduan looked at the civil and military officials standing on both sides of the hall, and said in a loud voice: "Today is the fourth day of the first month of the first year of Qiyuan. Now Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other places have been taken down. The rest of the place , I intend to take it completely by the end of the first year of Qiyuan. At the beginning of the second year of Qiyuan, I will take the whole world.

However, my eyes are not only on China.I also want to attack the west, north, and overseas lands.In the seventh year of Qiyuan, my army must embark on a journey. "

Liu Wenzhong frowned slightly upon hearing Zhao Wen's words.

"Your Majesty, even though a country is big, it will perish if it is warlike. After taking over the world, you should live with the people and not go to war." Liu Wenzhong stood up and persuaded.

Although Liu Wenzhong has been with Zhao Wen for a long time, the education he received when he was young was still Confucianism.

Confucianism had strong vitality and offensive power in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but after the Song Dynasty, it was castrated by the literati of the Song Dynasty and lost its bloody courage.

In Liu Wenzhong's view, as long as the world is pacified, one should live with the people, cultivate well, and recover from the wounds of war.

"I understand what you said, but do you think there is anyone in the world who can stop my mighty soldiers with the weapons in my hands?
Do you think there are cities in this world that I cannot conquer?With powerful weapons in hand, who is my opponent? "Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong and said loudly.

Liu Wenzhong was left speechless by Zhao Wen's words. Indeed, taking the weapons in Zhao Wen's hands, conquering the entire world is indeed not empty talk.

The officials of the military academy standing in the main hall and the departments below the military academy all showed excited expressions.

Because only by fighting non-stop, can they continue to build meritorious deeds.

"We must trample the world under our feet, we must conquer the world!"

Zhao Wen stood up from the throne and raised his arms.

"Long live, long live, long live!"

The military academy in the main hall and the officials under the jurisdiction of the military academy all shouted loudly.

At the beginning, the officials of the House of Representatives were still a little hesitant, but as the voice grew louder, they also cheered.

When Liu Wenzhong saw this, he also knew that he couldn't stop Zhao Wen's thoughts, so he also shouted loudly.

"Where is Song Yingxing?"

When the cheers stopped, Zhao Wen shouted.

"Chen is here!"

Song Yingxing stood up and saluted.

"The blueprint of the tank I gave you before must be developed as soon as possible, and the trial production of the tank will be successful before the end of the domestic war next year." Zhao Wendao.

"The minister takes orders!" Song Yingxing replied angrily.

"From today onwards, all the factories in Xuan Town will be operating at full capacity, producing all kinds of military supplies!

Also, in addition to Guoxuan Town, factories should also be built in Shanxi, Shaanxi, etc., and the construction should be completed in the shortest possible time.

Where is Sun Yuanhua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry? " Zhao Wen said.

"The minister is here!" Sun Yuanhua stood up.

"Starting today, your ministry will send surveyors to Shaanxi, Shanxi and other occupied areas to investigate and build various factories.

In addition, a large number of automobile production plants will be built in Xuanzhen to produce automobiles.

And once the trial production of the tank is successful, a large number of tank production factories will be built for me. "

"understand!"

In the following time, Zhao Wen arranged the plans he made one by one.

Early the next morning, Huaxia newspapers spread throughout Xuanzhen.

Since Zhao Wen ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the name of Daming Daily was changed, and the names of banking schools and the like were also changed.

The headline on the front page of the newspaper was Zhao Wen's phrase "We must trample the world under our feet, we must conquer the world".

Zhao Wen's words immediately aroused the fighting spirit of the people in Xuanzhen.

If you want to say who is the real fighting nation in this world, I am afraid that there is no one other than the people in this hot land.

Since there are written records, this place has been fighting. The history of Huaxia is actually a history of war.

The Daqin's "Join the old Qin, go to the country together, don't shed blood, and vow not to stop the war", the Dahan's "Whoever commits a strong Han will be punished even if he is far away", and the Sui's "The four quarters, whoever dares to offend , the country will be destroyed, its species will be exterminated, and its seedlings will be extinct." In the Tang Dynasty, "all barbarians inside and outside, who dare to call themselves soldiers, will be killed", and in the Song Dynasty, "I will destroy my country and species, and swear not to stand together with thieves."

Today, Zhao Wen once again uttered the strongest voice, "We must trample the world under our feet, we must conquer the world."This is passed down from generation to generation, and this is the bloody bravery that has never disappeared in this land.

Although Liu Wenzhong was a little worried about Zhao Wen's aggressiveness, it was just a worry.

Because the weapon in Zhao Wen's hands is invincible in this world, and no one can stop it.

Xuanzhen is like a war machine, running at full capacity.

The workers in the iron and steel plant worked in three shifts, and they did their best to provide raw materials for the automobile factory, steam locomotive factory and other factories.

All factories related to the military industry are also running at full capacity.

……

At the same time, a group of soldiers and horses with their heads drooping and depressed were walking in the snow.

The leader was none other than Li Zicheng, who planned to flee northward to the capital through Nanzhili.

Li Zicheng was riding on a war horse, looking at the snow-covered front with a dejected expression on his face.

"In the past few days, there have been more and more routs of the imperial court fleeing from Shandong. I asked people to inquire about these routs.

According to what they said, Shandong has already been captured by Zhao Wen, a dog thief, and our road to the north has been completely blocked. "Li Guo rode beside Li Zicheng on a war horse, and said with a worried face.

When people like Li Zicheng entered Nanzhili, the officials in Nanzhili thought they were Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses, and they were too frightened to leave the city, and they dared to stay in various cities.

Although people like Li Zicheng were planning to go north to seek refuge in Chongzhen, their habits of thieves were hard to change. After entering Nanzhili, they broke through several small counties and plundered a large number of people and supplies.

The peace of Nanzhili has been going on for a long time, and the military discipline of the local guards has declined, and the quality of the soldiers varies, so they are not Li Zicheng's opponents.

Li Zicheng led his troops and the plundered population and supplies to the north, planning to go to the capital via Shandong.

Li Zicheng's marching speed was a little slow, and fortunately their marching speed was slow. If they were fast, they might not be able to run away when they met Zhao Daniu's soldiers and horses in Shandong.

"Where are we now?" Li Zicheng looked around and asked.

This year's winter was extremely cold, and it snowed heavily in Nanzhili. Li Zicheng and others walked in the snow with difficulty.

"Uncle, one hundred miles further north, we will reach Xuzhou." Li Guo replied.

"We will reach Xuzhou in another hundred miles, but now that Zhao Wen has occupied Shandong, we have no way to go to the capital through Shandong.

Well, let's stop first, stop and rest for a day or two. Li Zicheng pulled the reins of the horse in his hand and stopped.

The tents were quickly set up, and Li Zicheng now has more than 5 people in his hands.

Of course, most of the people here are the people he looted.

Rogues are like this, they like to plunder people and fight with them.

Li Zicheng was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, where there were several steaming copper furnaces.

Li Zicheng, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin and other generals under Li Zicheng sat around the largest copper furnace in the middle.

Li Zicheng held a cup of hot tea in his hand and kept drinking it.

"Uncle, let me see, let's not go north to the capital, let's go south." Li Guo looked at Li Zicheng who was sitting next to him.

"Yeah, we can't go to the capital at all now. In the past few days, the number of imperial troops fleeing from Shandong has been increasing. It seems that Shandong must have been taken down by Zhao Wen. If we continue to go north, we will Throw yourself into a trap." Liu Zongmin frowned and said in a low voice.

"Huh!" Li Zicheng breathed out, "You are right. If we continue to go north, we will definitely meet Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses. Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses are many times more powerful than those of the imperial court. Let us The plan to go north to the capital is no longer possible.

However, we went to the South, is it all right?Zhao Wen's power is strong, and he is about to sweep the world. At that time, even if we go to the south, I am afraid that we will only be able to survive. Sooner or later, we will meet Zhao Wen. "

When Li Zicheng mentioned Zhao Wen, his heart suddenly became violent. Zhao Wen left a deep shadow in Li Zicheng's heart.

"Uncle, after we go to the south, we can find a way to get a few sea boats to go to sea. We may survive if we go to sea." Li Guo said.

Li Zicheng looked at Li Guo in surprise, "Go to sea? We are all landlubbers, can we go to sea? Besides, even if we go to sea, where should we go? Where can we be accommodated?"

"But it's better than waiting to die. Let's think about where to go when we get to the south. No matter where we go, it's better than waiting here to die!" Liu Zongmin interjected.

Liu Zongmin didn't want to go to sea either, but if they didn't go to sea now, they would be wiped out by Zhao Wen sooner or later.

Li Zicheng thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Then listen to you, go to the south, and find a way to go to sea. By the way, if you encounter the rout of the imperial court these days, find a way to get them here. The more soldiers and horses you have in hand, the safer you are."

The next day, Li Zicheng's troops headed south.

There is also Zhang Xianzhong who has the same idea as Li Zicheng.

As Song Hu occupied more and more land in Huguang, Zhang Xianzhong kept fleeing to the south like a dog.

At this time, Song Hu had taken most of Huguang, leaving only the area south of Changsha Mansion.

Although it was winter, Song Hu didn't stop his footsteps because of the cold weather. He still led his troops and continued to attack southward.

Song Hu rode a war horse, looked at the breached city in front of him, waved his hand, and shouted: "Enter the city!"

Song Hu led his personal guard battalion and follow-up troops to the city.

At the same time, several messengers on horseback hurried towards Song Hu.

These messengers were stopped by Song Hu's personal guards, and after checking their identities, they were brought in front of Song Hu.

"My lord, the Baoqing mansion has been taken by General Chen. He is now leading the army to attack the southwest. It is estimated that the Yongzhou mansion in the south of Huguang will be taken within a month."

A messenger stood in front of Song Hu, took out a military report from his arms, and handed it to Song Hu's personal guards, while shouting loudly.

Song Hu nodded, "Very well, you guys go down and rest first."

After Song Hu entered Huguang, he divided the soldiers and horses into two parts. One part was led by Song Hu's general Chen Qing to attack the west of Huguang, while he led the remaining soldiers and horses to attack the east of Huguang.

It is also because Huguang's area is too large, so it is not as fast as Zhao Daniu's attack on Shandong.
