Daming Military Empire

Chapter 277 The Fated Enemy's Final Battle

The tenth year of Chongzheng can be said to be the fastest growing year in the history of the Ming Dynasty. After nearly ten years of cultivation and development by Zhu Cijiong, the military industry system of the Ming Dynasty has become more and more perfect, and the machinery manufacturing technology has gradually matured, which has brought about the innovation of civilian technology. Coupled with the fact that the peasant uprising in the Northwest was finally put down last year, and the world was peaceful, Zhu Cijiong temporarily shifted his focus to economic construction. The economy of the Ming Dynasty can be said to have accumulated a lot, and it was out of control.

In the first month of the first month, the Xicheng District Machinery Factory was put into operation, marking that Daming civil machinery entered the stage of mass production, and the output of textile machinery such as spinning machines and looms increased sharply, which brought about the rapid development of the textile industry in Daming. Initially occupying the Southeast Asian market, high-end cloth has already entered the European continent, and the shares of the two places will surely increase step by step in the future.The Ministry of Industry also developed the Dilong Dilong, which pioneered mechanized farming, and the level of agricultural production has also been greatly improved.

In February, the cement plant in Xicheng District was put into operation. The appearance of cement made the bridge construction level of Daming advance by leaps and bounds. It is no longer a dream to cross the natural moat of the Yellow River and Yangtze River. Industries have undergone earth-shaking changes.

In March, the cable factory in Xicheng District was put into operation, and the laying of Daming's telegraph network entered the stage of experimentation and implementation. The convenience and value brought by the emergence of communication technology to Daming's economic development is immeasurable.

In April, the steelmaking plant in Xicheng District was put into operation, which not only brought the railway construction of Daming to a new level, but also provided high-quality raw materials for the development of the private machinery industry, and created countless job opportunities at the same time. Infinite motivation.

In May, the Jingkai Section of the Beijing-Jinjiang Railway, which runs through the north and south, was officially opened to traffic, linking the capital city and the dry areas in the Northwest, and providing strong support for the development of the Northwest.

In June, the Kaiyuan Railway from Kaifeng to Taiyuan and the Xi'an-Kaifeng Railway opened to traffic one after another, integrating the arid areas in the Northwest into a whole, and the Northwest Development has entered the implementation stage.

In July, large iron ore mines were discovered successively in Beizhili, Liaodong, Shanxi, and Sichuan. development of the local economy.

In August, the Xi-Chengdu Railway from Xi'an to Chengdu and the Jinkai Railway from Jinling to Kaifeng were completed and opened to traffic one after another. Trains were connected to all major provinces in the east, west, north, south, and south of Daming, and commercial activities were in full swing.

In September, large coal mines were discovered one after another in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Yunnan and other places, and the economies of the three places rose to a new level with the mining of coal.

In October, the Ministry of Industry will organize exploration of copper mines. In November, the Ministry of Industry will organize large-scale mining of limestone. In December, beauties from all over the country will gather in the capital. Emperor Chongzheng will hold a grand wedding. a wedding..

Uh, digressing, it’s only October now, and there will be a bumper harvest in Liaodong, a bumper harvest in Jiangnan, and the first full-scale harvest in the Northwest in more than ten years, etc., so many happy events, logically, Zhu Cijiong should be so happy that he can't sleep, but now he is so angry that he can't sleep!
Because Huang Taiji began to jump up and down again, and there was a tendency to jump more and more happily. At first, he only sent a group of people to attack Liaodong occasionally. Later, he sent more and more troops, not only in Liaodong, but also in Shanxi, Shaanxi and even Beizhi. He would not let off slaves, as long as he had the opportunity, he would send cavalry to Daming to raid and plunder, and they ran so fast that the Ming army couldn't even see their hair!
By October, this kind of sneak attack on Huang Taiji would come almost every two or three days, sometimes in Liaodong, sometimes in Northwest, sometimes in North Zhili, and sometimes in Shaanxi.

Zhu Cijiong knew very well that Huang Taiji wanted him to be so angry that he would personally lead an army to fight against him on the Mongolian grasslands. This guy wanted to stage another Saarhu victory or the Tumu Fort change, but now Daming is not the eunuch in power At that time, Cao Huachun was not Wei Zhongxian and Wang Zhen. He was honest and never interfered in the government affairs. Huang Taiji wanted to take advantage of Daming's command mistakes to gain a strategic victory. It was simply whimsical!

Zhu Cijiong endured it for more than half a year, and he couldn't bear it anymore. Now that the Qin Army, Dingliao Army, and Wuwei Army have completed their respective tasks and are on their way to the capital, Zhu Cijiong originally wanted to build Dongcheng District in these two months. To add joy to his big wedding, now he has changed his mind, perhaps, killing Huang Taiji, the enemy of fate, can bring even greater joy to his big wedding!

The enemy of fate, there will be a battle, now is the time!

The so-called "know yourself and know the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." ’, he has a blind eye to Monan Mongolia, so he has long ordered Jinyiwei Zhenshi Wang Zhengnan to send a large number of Jinyiwei to the Mongolian grassland to spy on information and explore the terrain. Now the sand table model of the entire Monan Mongolia is almost ready. It's time to convene a group of generals to discuss the matter of marching into the Mongolian grassland.

For the first time, Zhu Cijiong issued a convening order to the whole of Daming through the telegraph network: order all the army commanders and military commanders in Daming to rush to the capital immediately to discuss major issues!
Now Daming is not a feudal and backward country whose transportation basically depends on walking and communication basically depends on shouting, but a superpower with telegraph network and railway network. It took less than ten days for him to summon the commanders from all walks of life to the capital one after another. An unprecedented meeting of senior generals of the Ming Dynasty was held in this way.

In order to facilitate the meeting, Zhu Cijiong specially remodeled the largest side hall of the Qianqing Palace. There is not much decoration, just a huge conference table in the middle, with a sand table model of Monan Mongolia on the table, and a row on each side The back chair is the one without armrests, and his dragon chair is placed directly on the top of the conference table.

According to Zhu Cijiong's regulations, all the commanders put on the standard uniform of the Ming army, that is, "Chongzheng suit", and sat there upright.

The seat on the left is Taifu Zhenguo Gongsun Chengzong, and the next ones are:

Sun Yuanhua, Shangshu of the Ministry of War;

Finally, there is Zheng Chenggong, who sits at the first place alone. Uh, it doesn’t mean that he can sit opposite Zhu Cijiong now. Sitting there with his identity doesn't look awkward.
