Great Ming National Teacher

Chapter 74 Recovering Shaanxi

Zhu Youjian looked at the joy, but Li Yunya knew that an army without actual combat, no matter what kind of army, cannot be called a strong army. He asked Yuan Chonghuan: "Does Commander Yuan know the current situation of the navy in the Manchu Qing Dynasty?"

"Returning to the teacher, Jiannu is not good at building ships. First, he took over the original ships of Phi Island, a total of more than 45..." Mentioning Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan felt a little sweaty on his forehead, and looked at Zhu Youjian with a guilty conscience. Zhu Youjian Without looking at him at all, Yuan Chonghuan continued to look at the various ships sailing on the vast sea with dazed eyes. Small and unusable, Jiannu now has 27 warships, more than ten Korean turtle ships, and more than [-] other warships, but not to mention compared with our sea patrol Yasha, even the sea shark ship is not comparable At the beginning of this year, I led an army to Liaodong with eight sea shark ships as the main force, met with the Manqing Navy for a while, and sank [-] large enemy ships and more than a hundred small ships, all of which were vulnerable to a single blow."

Listening to his eloquent talk, Zhu Youjian suddenly looked back at him, his face was not very good-looking, probably because he remembered what Yuan Chonghuan told him about the five-year flat Liao Dynasty.

Before Li Yunya came here, he and Zhu Youjian reviewed the information of the Military Intelligence Department. It is indeed similar to what Yuan Chonghuan said. In fact, in history, the Daming Navy has basically won battles from Zhu Yuanzhang to Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan. This time Li Yunya smashed If the fleet built by spending a lot of money and using technology beyond this era can't beat the Manchus, then Li Yunya can only find a piece of firmer tofu and crash it to death.

The drill was over and the fleet returned to Hong Kong. Zhu Youjian's face was pale. Although he was excited, he couldn't bear the physical discomfort. He had never been out of Beijing. The biggest boat he ever built was the cruise ship on Taiye Pool. I would run to the Bohai Sea, where the waves are [-] meters high, and it is not bad to be able to hold back and not spit it out.

"Father, what's wrong with Father?" Zhu Cixuan asked worriedly.

"Your father is fine, just a little seasick, just rest for a while." Li Yunya personally took Zhu Youjian to the temporarily cleaned dormitory in the military port.

Since Zhu Youjian and Li Yunya did not inform Yuan Chonghuan of their visit to Tianjin this time, naturally there is no palace to enjoy. To a dormitory, I moved all the beds out, moved in a big bed, and gave Li Yunya a separate room, but Li Yunya refused because he didn't want to be special: "It's fine for me to live in a room with the emperor, and we all live together." Besides, living in an eight-person dormitory for the two of us is already luxurious enough, there can be no more."

Yuan Chonghuan secretly swallowed his saliva after hearing this, and then asked someone to move his belongings out of the seaside villa specially built for him, and also got a dormitory to live in.

Zhu Cixuan has to go to school tomorrow, and Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian don't plan to return to Beijing immediately. They still have important things to do when they come to Tianjin this time, and they have to test the results of their hard work over the years-without the two of them Next, whether the cabinet has the ability to continue to maintain the normal operation of the country. Anyway, now that there is a telegram, if there is something urgent, you can communicate directly through the telegram.

Li Yunya first took care of Zhu Youjian to lie down on the bed, then took Zhu Cixuan downstairs, and asked Wang Zhengnan to send someone to send Zhu Cixuan back.

Zhu Cixuan was reluctant to leave, hugged Li Yunya's thigh and cried: "Father, I want to be with you!"

Li Yunya squatted down and wiped away his tears: "You are a man, you can't cry all the time, only girls cry when they encounter something. Your father and I have something to do. We also want to be with you all the time." Together, but no, he is the emperor, I am the national teacher, this is our job. You are the same, you are a student, your job is to study, we all have our own responsibilities and obligations." He hugged Zhu Cixuan, kissed Kissed him on the forehead, "Good boy, go back to school. After a while, your father and I will return to Beijing, and we will see you then. You, grow up quickly, and hurry up and leave the school. After learning the knowledge taught, you can replace me and your father to do things in the future, and the two of us can rest."

Zhu Cixuan's eyes were red, and he clenched his fists: "I must study hard and grow up quickly. From now on, I will do everything for my father and father, so you two can stay at home and don't have to go anywhere."

"Words count! Let's pull the hook!"

After one big and one small checked, Li Yunya left Zhu Cixuan at the gate of the military port without sending Zhu Cixuan to the train.

Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian lived in Tianjin for more than half a month. During the period, they inspected Tianjin's urban defense construction, transportation, economy, industry, commerce and other developments, and told the governor of Tianjin to let him build a building dedicated to foreign trade. For work, all the foreign businessmen are brought there, which is convenient for unification and saves space. The population of Tianjin has also increased sharply in the past two years.

At the end of the month, Beijing called, and Sun Chuanting had broken through Chang'an last month and quickly occupied the entire territory of Shaanxi!

At the beginning of this year, Sun Chuanting led 20 elite troops to cross the Yellow River, and sent Heren Longshuai to attack Tongguan. Gao Yingxiang hurriedly mobilized [-] troops to deploy along the river to confront the Ming army.

In recent years, due to catching up with the Little Ice Age, the temperature has dropped sharply, and the grain production has decreased. In summer, some places suffer from severe drought, and some places suffer from severe floods. In winter, it is extremely cold, and even Jiangsu, Fujian, and Guangdong have blizzards. Earthquakes and hurricanes have landed in various places year after year.China has a vast territory and a huge territory. The original Ming Dynasty was like what Wang Xifeng said in "A Dream of Red Mansions". hole!

But now, thanks to the arrival of Li Yunya, there are drought-resistant and high-yielding crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Farm tools, fertilizers made by the Agricultural Development Bureau, etc., coupled with Li Yunya's large-scale industrial plan, the increase in productivity has also led to a double increase in food production and various materials.

In this way, the "big benefits" have come. If one party is in trouble, all parties will support it. It is impossible for the whole country to be affected by the disaster in a year. Even if the disaster occurs in several provinces, it is only a small part. The cabinet has never been affected by the disaster The local government mobilized supplies to enter the disaster area, and the armed police and firefighting police were the main force for disaster relief, quickly stabilizing order and preventing the disaster from spreading.

However, this is not the case in Shaanxi, which is within the control of the Dagan Kingdom. Shaanxi is the hardest hit area for natural disasters. Let alone the Wanli and Tianqi years. It rained, the grass and trees were scorched, and the food harvest was even worse. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, there was another drought. From August of the sixth year of Chongzhen to the seventh year of Chongzhen, there was not a single drop of rain. The Shaanxi area really reached the point of cannibalism!

Li Yunya said that temporarily ceding Shaanxi to Gao Yingxiang was a big burden, and it was true. Otherwise, the annual disaster relief money would have been at least 10 taels, or even more.

It's not that Li Yunya doesn't want to save the victims, it's just that the new army's combat strength has not been achieved a few years ago, Huang Taiji has developed rapidly, and the tiger looks at the northeast, so he dare not fight Gao Yingxiang. The refugees who escaped were given food and clothing, and the older ones were arranged on the spot, the younger ones went to work in Beijing, and the younger ones entered the campus. They were different from the prisoners of war who were recruited back then. Citizenship, you can choose to settle in Shanxi or Beijing, or you can temporarily send a collective account, and return to your hometown after the country recovers Shaanxi in the future.

In a few years, most of the people in Shaanxi fled to Shanxi with their old and young. Gao Yingxiang sent troops to stop them, but to no avail. The entire territory of Shaanxi was almost emptied.

This time the Ming army launched a large-scale attack. Gao Yingxiang dragged all the old, weak, sick, disabled, and almost usable people onto the battlefield. Even old women in their 50s were counted. At night when the wind was high, Sun Chuanting carried troops across the Yellow River in a small boat and set them on fire with fire crossbows. The morale of the army was already low, and they immediately blew up the camp and fled in all directions. , Covered and killed them at will, and chased them all the way to the city of Chang'an.

Sun Chuanting then sent Zu Dashou to lead the troops to Tongguan, and he and He Renlong took the pass. This time he was sent by Gao Yingxiang to guard the important area of ​​Tongguan.

Prime Minister Hui Deng was leading an army of more than 1 to resist He Renlong's attack, when suddenly an army horse came from behind, his face turned ashen.

Before dispatching troops, when the Ministry of National Defense formulated a strategy in Beihai, Li Yunya said: "Whether it is the rebellious army or the people in the Northwest, they are all my compatriots in Ming Dynasty. Because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, they are starved of food and clothing. It is a last resort, and we cannot wait and wait like the Northeast Jiannu." He told Sun Chuanting that there were seven people who would not be killed, so Sun Chuanting would send people to shoot arrows to persuade him to surrender before every battle.

Hui Dengxiang received a letter from Zu Dashou shooting into the city to persuade him to surrender. He knew that the Ming army had crossed the Yellow River and besieged Chang'an.

Besides, when Sun Chuanting besieged Chang'an, he did not immediately attack the city, but ordered people to press down on the camp, dig trenches, cut giant trees, and build siege equipment, pretending to fight a protracted war. However, that night, Li Zicheng's troops in the city Gao Jie suddenly turned around, not only opened the city gate to lead the Ming army into the city, but also took the lead in killing the residences of important leaders such as Li Zicheng and Gao Yingxiang.

This Gao Jie and Li Zicheng are from the same village. They rebelled together and were nicknamed Fanshanyao. Li Zicheng has a daughter-in-law, Xing, who can fight and count. When Li Zicheng found out, he planned to surrender.

Originally, according to the estimation of the Ministry of National Defense, it will take another year to send troops to attack Shaanxi. Immediately after the letter was reported to the Ministry of National Defense, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Keli, Zhu Youjian, Li Yunya and others studied it, and they simply started this year, so they started the campaign to conquer Shaanxi without being fully prepared. Otherwise, After the construction of the Yellow River Navy is completed, Sun Chuanting can come directly by boat, and there is no need to confront the enemy across the river for so many days.

At that time, Gao Yingxiang attacked Chang'an three times, relying on the gentry in the city to open the city gate. Today, the Ming army also relies on Gao Yingxiang's internal generals to open the city gate. History repeats itself, the situation is reversed, and the Ming army enters the city. Many generals were blocked at home, some surrendered, some fought to the death, and some committed suicide... Gao Yingxiang was surrounded in the palace, first killed his concubine and children, and then committed suicide with a sword. Almost all of them were captured.
