Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

He was stunned, the eunuch who passed the decree really didn't think about the scene in front of him.

Seeing Zhang Haogu's disrespectful attitude towards the imperial decree, the eunuch who passed the decree didn't know whether he should be furious or pretend he didn't see it; but anyway, the eunuch who passed the decree knew very well that Daming was about to usher in a huge storm up.

The people in Shenyang City watched the eunuch who passed the decree hurriedly leave with Jin Yiwei in a state of embarrassment. They were so arrogant and arrogant when they came, but now they are so embarrassed and terrified when they leave.

Seeing these lackeys of the imperial court leave, the people burst into applause. The people in Liaodong did not have much favor for the imperial court.

In the past few years, the actions of the Ming court have completely chilled the hearts of the people. Those who are close to Liaodong, if they have the ability to run, naturally all come to Liaodong.

In fact, those who were forced to leave their hometowns and come to Liaodong were fine. At least they could support their families and provide three meals a day for the whole family, and they didn't have to worry about the exorbitant taxes imposed by so many imperial courts.

The most pitiful ones are those who can't walk, even if their families are crushed, they can't escape, and they can't struggle to get out. That's the most hopeless, as if their necks are put in shackles, and their children and grandchildren will be punished by those old men for generations to come. Crushed, enslaved as livestock.

A soldier ran over and whispered something in Huang Zongxi's ear, Huang Zongxi nodded, and then said to Zhang Haogu, "Yuanfu, the court's decree delivery team left without any trouble."

"Well, okay, the outsiders have left, so we can have a meeting with peace of mind." Zhang Haogu said calmly, he looked at the people in Fengtian Hall, standing here is the core of the Datong Society, the Datong Party key figures.

And all the chiefs and generals also gave Zhang Haogu eager eyes, and their eyes had already told Zhang Haogu what they were looking forward to.

Zhang Haogu said slowly: "Unknowingly, five years have passed from the first year of Chongzhen to the beginning of the sixth year of Chongzhen."

"And we have been in Liaodong to develop this hot land for four years."

"In four years, we have built a simple industry here from scratch. Although it is not as good as the northern and southern Zhili, it is already quite large."

"In the same four years, we have opened up one piece after another of farmland, turning this bitterly cold place into a granary beyond the Great Wall. The people in the Central Plains have nothing to worry about, but the people in Liaodong have no worries about food and clothing."

"Those bandits, bandit caravans, and wild tribes in the three northeastern provinces have also been cleaned up and recruited."

"Monan and Mobei in the grassland are now in step with us. Whether they are Manchus, Mongols, or other Koreans, they are all members of our Datong Party and are working hard for the development of the Datong Party. with"

"Nowadays, the righteous people in the Central Plains are living in dire straits, the imperial court is incompetent, corrupt officials are rampant in the localities, and the whole world is full of depression. This world is so bad."

"Everyone! It's time! The mission of our fellow party members is about to begin."

Listening to Zhang Haogu's words, everyone felt that their blood was burning hot. Zhang Haogu's plain words reflected the high-spirited fighting spirit of the Datong Party members, the indomitable spirit of the Datong Party members, and the indomitable spirit of the Datong Party members. People are full of emotions waiting to erupt like a volcano.

The Datong Society was established for the sake of great harmony in the world, for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and for the spread of Chinese civilization to the world. Its core purpose is to achieve peace in the world and create a prosperous world.

The decaying feudal world is different from the new world that the Datong Party members expect. Since it is different, the Datong Party members will personally tear up the old world, destroy it, and then bring a brand new future to the people of the world. .

"You all perform your own duties. The Ministry of Finance, the Propaganda Department, and the military officials will hold a meeting at the Palace of Qinzheng."

A few moments later, in the Hall of Qinzheng, Zhang Ruitu, Director of the Propaganda Department, Lu Xiangsheng, Director of the Ministry of Finance, Zhou Yuji, Han Yaowei, Fang Yunchu, Cao Wenzhao and Yuan Chonghuan from the military were all present.

After everyone was seated, they found that there was still a vacant seat. Just as they were suspicious, they saw someone hastily entered the Hall of Qinzheng: "Aren't I late?"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Shi Kefa.

"Xianzhi arrived just in time, sit down quickly." Zhang Haogu said with a smile.

After Shi Kefa was seated, Zhang Haogu waited for a moment to give everyone a breather, and then said: "Right now, everyone is here."

"Yuqi and Degong are in Dongying, and the other is in Jiaozhi. They can't leave now. Whether it is Dongying in the east or Nanyang, they need to be guarded."

Just as Zhang Haogu said, the drastic changes in the Ming dynasty in the past few years have had a huge impact on overseas countries, whether it is the issue of treasure money or the rivalry between the old party and the Datong party within the court, or the emperor All these manifestations represent that Daming, the core of the East, is about to change.

And the overseas countries also seemed to smell the opportunity, waiting one by one, looking for their own opportunities.

As for the internal affairs of China, Zhang Haogu was unwilling to allow foreigners to get involved.

The turmoil in Ming Dynasty caused the entire East to change. North Korea is on the border of Liaodong, and Zhang Haogu is still stable. However, the countries in Southeast Asia, the situation in the East, and visitors from the West make the Datong party members in Liaodong a little bit powerless. .

In this case, the Datong party must have powerful figures in Southeast Asia and the East to prevent changes in these places, which in turn affect the process of changing the Central Plains dynasty.

Take Southeast Asia as an example. Ever since Emperor Tianqi died of illness, Chongzhen ascended the throne, banned the new policies and new laws, and couldn’t wait to restore the old system and reform a lot of things, causing the people all over the world to resent. Several small countries in Southeast Asia have been eager to move, and I don’t know what kind of ambition they have. , it seems that he really thought that Daming was going to die, and began to covet the fertile soil of the Central Plains.

At this time, if Huang Degong hadn’t led the Jiaofu Legion to sit in Southeast Asia, it would be able to radiate the entire Southeast Asia region, and give those small countries a head start to make them realize the reality. There will be wars on the northwestern border of Ming Dynasty, and the territory of Ming Dynasty will still look like this. easy to say.

As for whether you can trust Emperor Chongzhen and his civil servants and generals?

It's not that Zhang Haogu looked down on Chongzhen, Chongzhen was really unable to hold onto the territory of the Tianqi Dynasty, and he couldn't hold on to the large amount of wealth left to him by Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu.

After Chongzhen abolished the new policies and new laws and restored the old system, the political prestige, military strength, and economic wealth accumulated by the Tianqi Dynasty, all of these things, like the new laws abolished by Chongzhen, did not exist.

An emperor who has no strategic overall view, no long-term vision, and no clear vision of the future may be able to be a successful king. In a world dominated by the Chinese Communist Party, what can a feudal and conservative monarch who has closed his doors to the outside world do?
Holding that closed and impoverished country to perish?

That is not the future that the Chinese nation should have.

Therefore, Zhang Haogu and the Datong party members will not believe Zhu Youjian, and what Zhu Youjian has done has made the Datong party members and the people gradually abandon Zhu Youjian. The future world does not belong to Zhu Youjian and his feudal decay class.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Haogu could not let Southeast Asia, Dongying and other places break away from China's control. Jiaozhi can deter Southeast Asia and control Nanyang remotely, and Dongying can become China's barrier in the East and serve as a base for going out of the ocean.

Neither of these two places can be lost, they are about the future.

And whether it was Vietnam, which Annan later evolved into, or Dongying, Zhang Haogu felt disgusted by the inherent inferiority hidden in his nature, so he didn't feel at ease without a general in charge.

Huang Degong and Zhao Yuqi are located in Jiaozhi and Dongying, which means that a considerable part of the elite of the Datong Society has been drawn into the energy. The two places are stationed in three towns of the Datong Society, and these six towns add up to [-] soldiers.

But this does not mean that Datong Society has fewer soldiers available today.

When Yuan Chonghuan was the governor of southern Liaoning and managed Liaodong, he recruited many poor Manchurian low-level people and a considerable number of wild Jurchens. These people later became the main force and elite of the towns in southern Liaoning.

The Mongolian tribes originally had many young men serving in the new army. Now, as the Mongolian tribes in the south and north of the desert have fully joined the Datong Society, a large number of Mongolian boys have joined the army enthusiastically. It can be said that the Datong Society has no shortage of soldiers and horses.

Seeing that everyone is here, Zhang Haogu said: "Over the years, our Datong Society has developed well. From 12 people when we first arrived in Liaodong, to 20 people after we took over Liaodong, and now we have 35 troops. Right now, we are already the imperial court’s confidantes in serious trouble.”

Hearing Zhang Haogu's words, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Who said no, now the Datong Party has a total of 21 towns, and a total of 21 full-scale military towns established according to the latest establishment in the 12th year of Tianqi.

In fact, if Datong Society wants to open up and develop, let alone the current 35, it is 50, and it is not impossible to develop 100 million.

Don't you see that in the current Chongzhen Dynasty, there are already 10,000+ troops in the border town?

Counting the Beijing camp and the guards in various places, the Chongzhen Dynasty can be said to have an army of one million.

But how many of these millions of troops can really fight?

Different from the old concepts of the Chongzhen Dynasty, when the Datong Society was still in the new party, it had always pursued the policy of elite soldiers, and it was better to cultivate one elite than to raise five mobs.

Otherwise, how could the manpower and material resources of the Apocalypse Dynasty be maintained at the point of 39 new troops? Couldn't the central finance and sufficient resources that received tens of millions of silver that year not be able to support a million troops?
Even though the Datong party members only have 35 troops, most of them are still unable to move, but the Datong party members really did not pay attention to Emperor Chongzhen's million-strong army.

Today, the Datong Party’s 35 troops and 21 military towns are actually scattered in various places. Three of them are stationed in Jiaozhi, three in Dongying, four in Monan and Mobei, three in the northwest border, and the rest. Eight of them are in Liaodong.

So in fact, Liaodong now has less than 14 soldiers and horses.

To really fight, it is actually the Northwest Frontier Pass and Liaodong. Some of these eleven towns are mobilized to fight.

But even so, it is enough to meet today's strategic needs.

A huge map was spread on the table, and everyone watched the map. Zhang Haogu pointed on the map with a baton in his hand: "We have eight towns in Liaodong and three towns in the northwest. There are no less than 18 people deployed along the Great Wall."

"In Zhili, there are still 23 people in Zhu Youjian's Beijing camp, in Jiangnan, there are still 15 people, and there are more than 2 remnants and defeated soldiers in the Northwest."

"This adds up to 60 troops. Counting the 10 guards in various places, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Chongzhen Dynasty had a million troops."

"It's a pity that among the millions of troops, there are very few who can really fight."

As he said that, Zhang Haogu clicked his baton again: "Nowadays, Chongzhen's heavy troops are gathered in Zhili in the north and south, and the frontier troops are also gathered in the nine border areas mainly in Shanhaiguan and Datongguan. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of defense. We enter the customs from Liaodong and grassland areas."

"Our soldiers and horses in the four towns in Monan and Mobei cannot be moved lightly, but now they are here to contain Chongzhen's frontier army group, which is a good deal."

"And Liaodong is our hometown. Soldiers from Shanhaiguan do not dare to enter Guangning easily, and we cannot easily seize the customs. It is not worthwhile to fight in Shanhaiguan."

Cao Wenzhao's expression changed: "Yuanfu means"

Zhang Haogu smiled slightly, and lightly tapped on Ganshan: "We are still making a fuss in Ganshan. The peasant uprising army here has already taken advantage and created a good forward base. Ganshan is ours. The first battlefield to fight against the imperial court."

The first battlefield?
Is it necessary to open up a second battlefield?
Everyone thought about it, and then saw Zhang Haogu pointing to Shandong: "Shandong is an important place in the north, and the grain, tax and silver in the south of the Yangtze River are all transported by the canal. Whether it is by canal, land or sea, Shandong is a hurdle that they cannot get around. .”

"Not to mention that Shandong is densely populated, and it is a large grain province. It is an important food and taxation area in the north. Taking Shandong will not only block the grain, tax and silver in the south, but also further intimidate Zhili! After going to Shandong and then to Jinmen, it will be straight If the slaves are surrounded by us on three sides, don't try to get support from the sea."

"As for Ganshan and Shandong, this is the combined punch I prepared for Chongzhen."

As he said that, Zhang Haogu focused on the map: "Isn't Chongzhen going to attack us? Doesn't he think he can win? Then we will use Ganshan and Shandong as the battlefield and say hello to him."

Cao Wenzhao clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, Ganshan, Shandong, two-pronged approach, two-pronged coercion, Zhu Youjian will have to sit on the candle this time."

Those present here have either been in the military for many years or have been in charge of Ming Dynasty for many years. They have a very strong strategic vision. They can naturally see that Zhang Haogu's move is very common and common, but it is such a common move. But it contains extremely strong lethality.

On military affairs, Zhang Haogu is rarely willing to take any risks, especially as the power of the Datong Party members grows stronger, Zhang Haogu likes to fight head-on.

In the future, the Datong Party will become a big party that governs the world, and it will become a leader that leads the Chinese nation to the world and stands among the nations of the world; so the Datong Party cannot be as old as the old Donglin Party and those corrupt bureaucrats thinking about conspiracy What's the point of fighting openly and secretly for tricks?
What the Datong Party wants is uprightness, and what it uses is grandeur.

Zhang Haogu looked at Zhou Yuji: "The battle in Shandong will be handed over to General Zhou."

"Now Liaodong can't give you too many soldiers and horses. I can only give you two towns in the early stage, is that enough?"

Zhou Yuji chuckled: "Two towns are enough. The elite soldiers in these two towns are enough to sweep the mob in Shandong!"

Seeing Zhou Yuji's confidence, Zhang Haogu also nodded with a smile: "I just like General Zhou's aura, with high self-confidence and indomitable spirit."

"That's right, the elite soldiers from the two towns of our Datong Party are enough to sweep away those mobs in the Chongzhen Dynasty!"

"In terms of the navy, we have inherited the strength of the navy from the late emperor's time. The Nanyang navy is now working together, while the Eastern navy is in Dongying. We only have the Beiyang navy in our hands, but it is enough."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Haogu looked at Shi Kefa again: "Xianzhi, you have worked hard in the northwest all these years."

"Actually, I have arranged two positions for you."

Shi Kefa listened quietly, and Zhang Haogu said: "One is the center of our Datong Society. Up to now, there is no department that inspects cadres and decides the appointment and dismissal of cadres. I plan to set up an organization department and let you be the chief."

"As for the other one, it is the president of the Ganshan region, and the governor of the Ganshan region."

Shi Kefa laughed and said: "Yuanfu, I have worked hard in Ganshan these years, you can't just withdraw me just because I am withdrawn. After all, I have feelings for Ganshan, and I have become familiar with them over the years."

"I'd better continue the governor-general's campaign in Gansu and Shanxi. It's more comfortable to be the president of the three towns of Gansu and Shanxi."

Zhang Haogu was not annoyed when he heard this: "Well, let's talk about the organization department later, and you will still be the governor of Ganshan."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Haogu looked at the crowd: "From now on, we will officially tear ourselves apart with the court. Now that we have broken our blood, there is no need to hesitate any more. We can fight as we like. Now, we want to fight with the court." The imperial court is fighting for the world."

"Zhou Yuji!"

Zhou Yuji immediately said: "Yes!"

Zhang Haogu said: "As Yuanfu of the Datong Party, I appointed you as the governor of Shandong and the president of the two towns to be in charge of the Shandong war."

"Take orders!" Zhou Yuji said excitedly.

"Skefa!"

"Yes!" Shi Kefa also straightened his chest.

"As Yuanfu of the Datong Party, I appointed you as the governor of Ganshan and the president of the three towns to be in charge of the war in Gansu and Shanxi!" Zhang Haogu said.

"Take orders!" Shi Kefa smiled.

Zhang Haogu looked at Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng again: "Mr. Zhang, the Propaganda Department is now starting to do a good job in propaganda work, not only limited to Liaodong, but also Shandong, Ganshan, and North and South Zhili. We must set off a mighty wave of voices to let Everyone in the world realizes that the old era is about to pass."

"Director Lu, the Ministry of Finance has made preparations. The large army will go to war, and the expenditure on food, grass and military equipment will not be counted. There must be no shortage of war expenses."

Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng nodded, and each made promises to Zhang Haogu.

Zhang Haogu took a deep breath and looked at the crowd: "Masters, the future is in front of us, and the general trend is in our hands. From today on, we have the final say on the rise and fall of the world!"
