golden scales

Song Hongye entered the Ming army camp, and naturally he left without looking back.He didn't want to die with Donglu at this moment of victory.

Xiao Donglou checked the connection code, sent the hero to the rear, and began to attack Shenyang City by himself.The morale of the Qing army defending the city has been exhausted, and the front line is in jeopardy.Xiao Donglou was not in a hurry for a day or two, let the [-]th-style military artillery and many [-]th-generation guns blast at the city gate to save combat power.

On the 21th day of the twelfth lunar month in the [-]st year of Chongzhen, the Qing court finally made the decision to flee to Daweichang, which was also the birthplace of Manchuria.That night, more than [-] Manchurian soldiers in the city escorted the emperor and the queen mother, as well as a group of civil and military officials, broke through the siege of the city. go.

Xiao Donglou knew that the enemy chieftain was fleeing at night, but he didn't chase after him. He just rearranged the defense line and continued to besiege Shenyang.Cao Ning knew that this was due to insufficient troops, so he could only watch the big fish break through the net.

Compared with Donglu's "false emperor", Shenyang is a more important target.

The recovery of Shenyang undoubtedly means the complete recovery of Liaodong.

From the 19th year to the present, in more than two years, the Liao troubles that continued from the Shenzong era were finally resolved.

In the 22nd year of Chongzhen, on the second day of the first lunar month, the defenders in Shenyang City surrendered to Xiaodonglou.On the same day, the Ming army entered Shenyang, took over the defense of Shenyang City, and screened the prisoners.The enslaved Han people were released and food was distributed to settle down.

Standing on the city wall, Cao Ning looked at the flow of people below, and his face gradually became puzzled: "The Han people in Shenyang don't seem to be very happy."

In fact, there are Han people who shed tears for cutting off the whip. Two generations of slavery are so powerful.

"Being raised as an animal for so long, I guess I'm also very scared." Xiao Donglou pressed the blindfold lightly: "Now I know that Feng Bin is still useful."

Cao Ning nodded silently, and said again: "Will you continue to fight? If you go further north, you will go out of the side wall."

"Why did Your Highness give us the map of Wan Guokun?" Xiao Donglou said hesitantly, "Not only do we want to fight, but we also want to fight beyond the borders of Ming Dynasty! Otherwise, what is it called expanding the territory?"

Cao Ning also couldn't help laughing dryly: "That's true. After spending so much effort, we can't just get the title of 'recovering' the lost land. It's a pity that we were a step too late. If we can win it before the year, it will be just for Miss Lu to fight." Reporting victory on New Year's Day. How beautiful it is!"

As the training officer of the Second Guards Army, Lu Qiaochu returned to the gate of the camp with documents, books, and treasures collected from the Qing palace after the entrance ceremony in Shenyang, and took a boat to Tianjin.Report to Beijing.

Going with Lu Qiaochu was also Wang Yi from the First Division of the First Guards Army.

Wang Yi's eye-catching performance in the winter offensive is not only eye-catching in terms of military capabilities, but also admirable for his clear overall view.This time, She An sent Wang Yi as the first division's victory reporter, and it was obvious that he wanted to reuse him.Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has organized the army, he will surely form more main troops. Maybe Wang Yi can become the youngest general in the history of Ming Dynasty.

Lu Qiaochu was on the same boat as Wang Yi, and he was full of curiosity about this young major, but when he thought that he was only twenty, he was cruel.Previously, the prisoners of Donglu killed as soon as they said they wanted to, and they were simply butchers who ignored human life just like Chen De.Even if those people committed heinous crimes, they should be judged by judges. How can they treat human lives so recklessly?

Wang Yi is young and sensitive, knowing that Lu Qiaochu is very repulsive to him.There is no reason to be self-defeating. After boarding the ship, I entered the cabin, spread paper and ink, and first wrote a family letter of peace to my father, and then wrote a letter of greetings to my teacher Huang Desu.For the next few days, he was thinking about how to write a decent letter to senior brother Huang Ruixue, but he didn't until he got off the boat.He always only wrote one sentence: "Senior Brother Huang sees words as if he has met."

This kind of melancholy has always dilute Wang Yi's joy of winning, and on the contrary, he seems to be very mature.

Zhu Cihong had long forgotten about Wang Yi, and he didn't remember it until he looked through his resume.He asked the staff of the general staff to replay the entire winter strategy on the sand table. From the perspective of a bystander, Starry Night's capture of Liaoyang and Dongningwei was a stroke of genius, which pulled the situation that might have fallen into a protracted battle and consumption towards a quick victory. A big step.

——This person is curious and dares to take risks.Not a handsome talent.However, he acted decisively, without the slightest procrastination, and was able to correctly judge the situation from the overall situation and make the most favorable choice. This is the characteristic of a famous general.

Zhu Cihong secretly evaluated Wang Yi in his heart.It is even more joyful to think that this person is only twenty.Being young means being more malleable. If you can let him settle down in the war and truly understand the essence of "cooperating with each other and winning with odds", the future is really limitless.

"Arrange him to meet as soon as possible." Zhu Cihong said to Lu Suyao.

Lu Suyao had already put Zhu Cihong's recent itinerary in her mind, and said, "Your Highness, it will only be after the [-]th at the earliest."

From the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month to the sixteenth of the first lunar month has become the legal Spring Festival holiday of the Ming court, and all the ministries, temples, bureaus and bureaus are on holiday except for people on duty.This kind of insane vacation made Zhu Cihong unhappy, as if he had nothing to do all of a sudden.But this is also the way to relax. If you keep tense, the entire bureaucratic system may collapse.

Because of this, the young people in the Sheren Section really respected and loved their "Yin Jun", because Lu Suyao announced that the Sheren Section would not be on duty, and she was on duty during this time alone.

"Let him come to see me as soon as he arrives in Beijing, and he has the right to be a friend." After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he continued: "Mr. Yuan is on duty in the cabinet today?"

"Exactly."

"Send two boxes of white sugar. From now on, we will send New Year's goods to the Beijing officials before the New Year's Eve, and each state and county will also add an item of expenditure." Zhu Cihong said.

Lu Suyao hesitated for a while and said: "Your Highness, it won't be too extravagant, right?"

"I am afraid that the strictness with which I govern officials is not inferior to that of the Taizu. If you want the horse to run, you must feed the horse more concentrate. After the country becomes rich, the treatment of officials must gradually be in line with that of the Song Dynasty." Zhu Cilang said.

Lu Suyao was also happy in her heart, and thanked the Crown Prince with a blessing.

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking with Lu Suyao, he added: "Now there is one more matter, I am very worried about it."

"I don't know if there is a minister who can share the worries for His Highness?"

"Population." Zhu Cihong said: "The total population reported by the chief secretaries this time is only 5000 million, that is, 5000 million people."

"Congratulations, Your Highness. I'm afraid this is the kind of governance that has never existed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, right?" Lu Suyao looked surprised. In fact, she had read this title book a long time ago.

Zhu Cihong didn't have the slightest joy: "I've only been in power for a few years? It's useless to learn less." He said: "What is worrying is that adults and men and women account for the largest proportion, and young people are the least."

"What's wrong with that?" Lu Suyao asked doubtfully.

"If the population distribution is plotted into a map, 16 years old is adult, and 50 years old is old, then it is three segments of old, middle and young." Zhu Cihong drew three maps at random: "Look, if the population under the age of 16 is the largest, then In the next ten years, the total number of people will increase. Conversely, if the elderly population is the largest, the population will decline in the future.”

Lu Suyao thought for a while, and it was indeed the truth, she couldn't help but nodded.

"Now I have the largest population of adult men and women, obviously because of wars and natural disasters, the vulnerable population such as the elderly and young have been hit. In the future, the elderly population is likely to increase and the national population may decline."

Lu Suyao thought for a while and said, "Your Highness, why is there no possibility of more teenagers? After the common people live in peace, they must marry and have children."

"I hope so too, but if there is no external stimulus, I'm afraid this baby boom won't happen." Zhu Cihong frowned.

Ming people never had the idea of ​​family planning, and believed in more children and more blessings to raise children and prevent old age.If only relying on the self-consciousness of the people, the population will indeed increase with the improvement of environmental safety and medical care, but this process will take ten years or even decades of accumulation.

"After the holidays are over, your ministry will issue a document to the cabinet to propose the establishment of the General Administration of Health. After April, the smallpox medicine will be distributed to all states and counties across the country. As long as the newborns are registered in the household, they will be vaccinated for free." Zhu Cihong said: "This matter Also tell General Yu to know about it, and send some people out of Xinglin University."

Lu Suyao recorded them one by one, and then said: "Your Highness, when the Crown Princess was about to give birth, Xinglin University provided free checkups and deliveries for pregnant women. I have read the receipts carefully. In fact, the consumption of material and financial resources is not much. It is just that there is some manpower. It’s tight. If we can increase the number of gynecologists and implement free pregnancy tests and deliveries across the country, it will be easier for people to register and get vaccinated.”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "That's a good idea. You can discuss with General Yu and others how many people you need. If it takes too long to train specialists, you can also consider training nurses. It's better than the previous midwives."

"After being stimulated like this, my Daming will really be prosperous." Lu Suyao said happily.

"It's not enough." Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "You female officials shouldn't die alone. Don't stop the matter that made you associate with the army. Men have a share and women have a return. This is the foundation of the world of great harmony. How can the female officer do without a home?"

Lu Suyao laughed dryly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy for me to get married."

The idea that men are superior to women is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As long as a man can support his family, he will never let his wife do things in public.

Of course, being an official and doing things are two different things.However, being an official has official prestige. Generally, an official marrying a commoner's daughter can raise the family's social class by one step. Which commoner man dares to marry a female official?Doesn't it look like a family member?

As a result, the scope of female officers' mate selection is very narrow. Even military officers prefer to marry an ordinary civilian girl who has no talent, virtue, hard work and hard work.

Zhu Cihong also knows that this kind of thinking will be popular even after 400 years, otherwise the proportion of "white bones" becoming "leftover women" would not be so high.

Come to think of it, this is really a very difficult problem!
