Chapter 439 The battle has been decided, and the battle will start
The snow has been falling, and the grievances, hatred, and hatred erupting from the bottom of my heart permeate the world, so that the snowflakes that have been dancing wildly, seem to be afraid of these heart-piercing cries, and gradually become quiet Come down, there are many people, from wild dancing to much quieter.

The headlines are still going on.

Seeing the heavy snow falling from the sky, Yuan Chonghuan didn't know what to say, and just stared into the distance in a daze.

I have always claimed to be the pillar of the country, the mainstay of resisting the Eastern captives, No. 1, and the second Yu Qian of the Ming Dynasty, who can save the building from collapse and drive the barbarians away... Maybe, things are not what I thought, Although I have the ambition to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, I may not have the ability.

These heart-piercing soldiers, their encounters, their inner pain, their hatred, perhaps, I have never really understood, never really entered their hearts, if I don’t understand them, how can I understand Liaodong?If you don't understand Liaodong, how can you fight?How to deal with Donglu?Even boasting that the Liao Dynasty will be flat in five years?Is it selfish, or is it arrogant?Or, I was playing a crazy game, a crazy game that gradually became uncontrollable, and maybe the ending ended with myself falling apart.

Yuan Chonghuan, melancholy and depressed, drifted towards the sky with the fluttering snowflakes in his mind.

The crying on the school field has become smaller and smaller, it seems that Xuehua has also heard it, and it is getting quieter and quieter!

A galloping horse came galloping.

"Report!... My lord, there are many carriages outside the south gate of the city. It is the convoy for delivering cotton clothes." The knight got off his horse and hurriedly came to Yuan Chonghuan, reporting with a happy face. Well, at this moment, he will never rush into the school grounds. On the school grounds, it is obvious that something is not right. The crying is really terrible. Most of Jinzhou City can hear it. It is definitely not a good thing. It is okay. Dare to touch that brow.

The knight's voice was very loud, and it immediately caused a big disturbance in the already silent school field.

"It's here? Is it really here?"

"so fast!"

"really?"

The officers and assistants began to discuss in low voices, but the news was still uncertain. Some said that the cotton coats would arrive soon, while others said that the cotton coats would not arrive until the twelfth lunar month. Hundreds of thousands of cotton coats could not be ready all at once. It is a blessing to wear new cotton clothes years ago.Although some people guessed that the soldiers who came out in full force a few days ago were not chasing Tartars, but to transport these cotton clothes.However, accurate information estimates that there are only a few people except the governor.Unexpectedly, the cotton padded clothes arrived so soon, which was really unexpected.

The soldiers below also became agitated. After the grief, the grievances and hatred in their hearts had dissipated a lot. Many people began to look up at the general platform, and those behind began to ask what happened in front. The knight's intrusion warmed up again.

"Master Zu, how are they?" Yuan Chonghuan's mind was pulled back from the horizon by the knight's cry, and after recovering, there was a slight smile on his face, and he asked.

"Go back to my lord, I heard from Mr. He who was escorting me that Mr. Zu is still behind, there are too many carriages, we need to beware of sneak attacks by the Tartars..." Seeing Yuan Chonghuan's smiling face, the knight also smiled and said.

"Okay! Let the order go on, and all the streets and squares will beat the gongs and drums. I want everyone in Jinzhou to know that the cotton clothes sent by His Majesty have arrived. I want the people in Jinzhou City to see the national strength of my Daming. Futai wants to let Jinzhou, and all the soldiers in Liaodong know His Majesty's kindness..." Yuan Chonghuan suddenly smiled, and his thoughts that had been muddled all the time are now clear. The emperor sees farther and clearly than him, so it must be Now, I don't necessarily know how capable I am, I don't necessarily know how capable I am, I don't need to think too much, as long as everything is done according to His Majesty's instructions and according to the emperor's wishes, all my troubles can be solved throw away.

"Obey!" The knight immediately agreed, this is a big event, Lord Yuan wants to make the whole city of Jinzhou riot, knowing that the emperor's cotton coat has arrived.

The officials and assistants were even more arguing, and the soldiers in the audience were also arguing.

Eunuch Qin was always on the side, heard it clearly, and said with a smile: "Master Yuan, in order to prepare cotton clothes for you, His Majesty was planning a venue several months ago, and started to ship a month ago. Your Majesty has broken his heart for you. Ah! Our family reminds Mr. Yuan of the four words "loyal to the emperor and serve the country", but don't forget it!" Eunuch Qin reminded the smiling Yuan Chonghuan with a narrow smile.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. I always take the four words of loyalty to the emperor and the country to my heart." Yuan Chonghuan replied with a smile. I have always wanted to be a hero who can turn the tide, stand upright, and save Ming Dynasty. In reality, I may not have any ability. I think too far. The emperor has already seen everything about me, and I have been constantly reminding myself in various ways. , but I can't see through it, and I can't understand it clearly. Now, once I "enlighten the Tao", I know everything, and everything is understood.

"I hope Lord Yuan won't break his own words..." Eunuch Qin said with a smile, as if he had nothing to say.

Yuan Chonghuan abandoned the original melancholy and depression, and walked forward with his head held high and his chest held high.Shouted: "Soldiers!"

The soldiers under the commanding stage saw Master Futai coming forward, and they were already waiting to see what Master Futai would say.

"...The good news is that His Majesty is sympathetic to us, and the cotton padded clothes he sent us are here. In a few hours, everyone will be able to wear warm cotton padded clothes. Your Majesty is so sympathetic to us, and we will serve the country loyally. Swear to serve to the death..., kill the Tartars..." Yuan Chonghuan changed his aloof mentality, turned to lower his posture, and began to really touch these soldiers with his heart, not touching these soldiers with his heart, not feeling their feelings with his heart, how can he understand Liaodong ?Don't know Liaodong?How about dealing with the Eastern captives?My own dream is unreal, too fake.

The soldiers under the general stage were very surprised at Futai who seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person!He didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

I don't know who shouted: "Loyal to the king and serve the country, kill the Tartars..."

The soldiers who had just vented their hatred and pain in their hearts, and when they learned that the emperor's cotton coat was coming, they couldn't help shouting wildly, and the scene suddenly became hot.

"Loyal to the king and serve the country..., kill Tartars..."

"Serve the country loyally, kill Tartars..."

"Loyal to the king and serve the country..."

"Kill the Tartars..."

Just now it was a school ground crying, but now, it is shouting again.

Yuan Chonghuan had already changed his depressed face in the past, and followed the soldiers to shout wildly, raising his arms while shouting, not caring what kind of governor he was.

……

The gate of the city had already been opened, and carriages with deep indentations entered Jinzhou City one by one.

In the city, people kept beating gongs along the street, knocking out the people who hid in the houses because of the wind and snow. The people playing the gongs and the people along the street kept sending messages to each other. Lively, one by one out of the house, ready to see the latest arrival, it is said that there are many, many cotton-padded clothes.

The entire city of Jinzhou became cold and silent because of the wind and snow, but now, after a burst of gongs and drums, it came back to life.

"Look at the cotton coat..." "kuang" "...look at the cotton coat..." "kuang" "..., the cotton coat issued by His Majesty has arrived..." the person carrying the gong shouted while beating the gong, Keep sending out the news that the cotton coat is coming.

In a yard near the school grounds, two people were eating hot shabu-shabu in the house.

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty played very beautifully! He used the head to show power, and used the cotton coat to coax people. This trick of hitting a stick and giving a sweet date is really fun..." The man on the left ate A piece of boiled meat, said disdainfully.

"Hush... Keep your voice down. This is Jinzhou City. Your Majesty's reputation here is very high. If people hear about it, you and I will die without a place to die." The man on the right quickly stopped him.

"Hehe, buddy, don't worry, I'm free to measure and won't cause you any trouble, but unfortunately, there are so many cotton clothes, but I can't send a message to Da Khan... Otherwise, such a large batch of cotton clothes is too white to say, It's not bad to shave Yuan Manzi and Minghuang's face hard..." This person obviously didn't take this person's persuasion to heart.

"Hush...don't even think about it. For the purpose of transporting the cotton-padded clothes this time, Yuan Manzi sent people to block off the entire south of the Daling River. They are not allowed to enter or exit. Anyone who dares to enter and exit at will can be killed on the spot. I have lost a lot of money." Brother, I originally thought that Zu Dashou led the soldiers to chase you, and wanted to remind you to be careful... Huh, now it seems that he is going to transport cotton clothes..." The person sitting on the right said dissatisfied.

"Brother's heart, I know it, and Da Khan knows it too. Your benefits will be indispensable to success in the future, but I would like to ask, why does it seem that a group of powerful people suddenly appeared recently to rob some of our remote areas? The firearms and horses are very good, and they often run away when they hit him, and they throw grenades when they want to chase him. asked suddenly.

"Oh, you're talking about those rangers! ... The group you mentioned is very powerful, and they are also very famous in Jinzhou City. The leader seems to be surnamed Yang, and his name is Yang Liu or something. Those who work as frontier soldiers are also from the army. They couldn't survive there, so they went to Liaodong to try their luck. I heard that they have people in Beijing who back them up and get grenades that are hard for others to get... said the man on the right.

"It's no wonder that their firearms are more powerful than warriors. They have two cavalry, two guns, and they are just a burst of grenades. If there are fewer people, they dare not chase after them. When there are too many people, they just hit their ambush. They are a difficult guy!" Left said with a sigh.

"You mean, take a chance and get rid of them?" asked the man on the left.

"Exactly, what Da Khan means is that if there is a chance, find a way to get rid of them. They are always harassing us, which is very bad for us. If they become a climate, or become a trend in Nanming, it will be a big deal for me. Jin is a big disadvantage..." said the person on the right.

"Well, I see, I will pay attention to it, and I will get rid of them as soon as I get a chance... However, the ugly thing must be said first, they also have some background, if you want to mess with them, it may cause some trouble... ..." Although the person on the left agreed, he also hesitated and expressed his worries.

"What's so difficult about it? You wouldn't pick up a few generals who were short of money, and say that those people got a lot of heads and were worth a lot of money. If you robbed them, wouldn't they be rich? Those people must If you don't agree, there will be a fight between the two sides, maybe they won't even find the corpse..." The person on the right said disdainfully after eating a mouthful of shabu-shabu.

"Good trick, good trick..." The person on the left laughed.

……

The large horse-drawn cart transporting cotton-padded clothes made several circles in Jinzhou City, and then returned to the school grounds. Under the thunderous shouts of cheers from the soldiers, the cart had been unloaded and was ready to be distributed according to the roster.

"Zhang San..."

"Wang Wu..."

……

One by one, the soldiers quickly received their own cotton coats and put them on immediately. This kind of hem, thick cotton coat is very warm on the body, but the cold wind that has always been very cold can no longer get in.

The faces of many smiling soldiers were flushed because they laughed too hard, and even sweated a little.

"Ha ha……"

"Hehehe..."

"Ho ho... ho ho..."

The soldiers were wearing new cotton clothes, looking at each other, looking at the new cotton clothes, they didn't know what to say, they just couldn't stop laughing.

……

In this important military town where most of the officers and their families are occupied, it didn't take long for the new green cotton-padded clothes to become the latest scenery in Jinzhou City. The flow of people made this already white military town a bit green.

……

Forbidden City.

platform.

Yang Reform is discussing with Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu to take over and deduce the battle situation.

Suddenly a cold wind blew in Beijing for several days, and the temperature dropped sharply. Yang Reform had to put on a cotton coat.

"Old lady, the white soldiers are all from the south. The temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days. I'm afraid the white soldiers won't be able to stand the northern climate. Have you got all the cotton clothes?" Yang Reform asked.

"Thank you for your majesty's concern. They have all received cotton-padded clothes. Now, they have all put them on and received new quilts. They all say thank you for your majesty's grace..." Qin Liangyu has been feeling moved for the past few days. When it got cold, the emperor sent over the cotton-padded clothes. Each person had one piece. Besides the cotton-padded clothes, there was also a quilt. The cotton-padded clothes Qin Liangyu wore and took apart and looked at. They were all made of real good cotton. It weighed four catties, and it felt warm when worn on the body. It was the first time for Qin Liangyu, who had previously been a soldier and moved around to fight, to feel warm.

"That's good!" Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing outside." Wang Chengen walked in, put a shawl on the emperor, and said by the way.

"Oh, it's snowing!" Yang Reform said with emotion, the heavy snow that he had been looking forward to for many days finally came down, and the dust that fell had already settled.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's finally a foregone conclusion." Sun Chengzong said with a smile. It's snowing, which really marks the end of this year's war. Although the overall situation has been settled before, it's not yet settled. In a [-]% situation, if one is not careful, someone will shave his face. This year's record is not perfect. Only when it really snows can he be considered a real win.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty." Qin Liangyu also said.

"This year, Donglu will not come again." Yang Reform murmured.

"Exactly, Your Majesty, looking at this year's posture, it might be a heavy snowfall. Half a person may be buried overnight outside the pass. This year's war is completely over..." Sun Chengzong said.

"Oh! Yes! This year's war is completely over..." Yang Reform murmured to himself, because of the heavy snow, the war is over, and the heavy snow is coming, that is to say, the end of the year is approaching. It's about to come, no matter how against the sky, Yang Reform's mind is still in chaos, and he can't get the point of several clues.

The end of the year is approaching, and I don’t count the expenses of the Northern War. Just the reissues, it’s 200 million, plus the cotton clothes, rewards, pensions, and the capital, the extra expenses needed for the Beijing camp at the end of the year, the expenses are quite staggering. He made some money from stocks, and if it wasn't for the bank to "finance" himself, Yang Reform doubted how he would live on.

This heavy list weighed heavily on Yang Reform's shoulders, making Yang Reform unable to breathe. Using one person's strength to transfuse an empire and raise an empire by one person, this kind of pressure is too great. Even if there are countless golden fingers, they can't afford it. Therefore, this situation must be changed, and it must be changed immediately. The only way out is to collect taxes, commercial taxes, customs duties, and salt taxes. After collecting it, the situation that the entire empire is under pressure will be changed. Otherwise, it will not be blood transfusion to the empire, but the empire will drain itself dry.

Undoubtedly, to collect taxes is to be against the entire bureaucratic class, that is, to be against countless landlords and big businessmen. Thinking about the sea of ​​bureaucrats and landlords, Yang Reform feels that he is under great pressure. However, there is no way out for the Yang Reform, this is a path that must be followed. If it fails, history will repeat itself, or if you die early, if you want to succeed, you must kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. All things that dare to stop you must smash.

"Master Sun, Mrs. Qin, let's stop here for today's war deduction..." Yang's reform thoughts were no longer on the platform, it was very chaotic, and the war deduction could not continue.

"As ordered, I will leave!" Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu withdrew.

Yang Reform returned to Qianqing Palace and sat alone in the warm pavilion in a daze.

Calculate the strength that you can rely on, calculate those that are neutral forces, calculate those that will definitely fight back vigorously, how can you defeat them so that they cannot stand up, and when necessary, you can use force to suppress them, those are reliable force?There are too many clues, Yang Reform deduces them one by one in his mind, trying to make up for every possible loophole. He only has this chance, and it is impossible to do it all over again, Yang Reform keeps telling himself.

He also dug out the list of Shanxi Merchants in Shanxi that he had hidden deep inside, and looked at it. He had already memorized the names of the people in it, and then opened a map. When this matter starts, the salt merchants will definitely be the first to be affected, and the timely takeover of the salt industry will be the highlight.
