Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 408, Daming will win

"Old Liu~Old Liu~"

Just when Liu Jin was thinking about the war, Zhu Houzhao found Liu Jin excitedly. Before he entered Liu Jin's study, his voice came over.

"Your Highness~"

Seeing Zhu Houzhao approaching, Liu Jin could tell with his toes that he must have come for this battle.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, who is afraid of chaos in the world, is more excited than anything else when it comes to fighting.

"Haha, father finally got the hang of it. He made up his mind to have a good fight with the tartars. It should have been like this a long time ago. They go south every year and hold customs every year. They really treat me as a big Ming and can't be bullied."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin, and went directly to the place where the Ming map was placed in Liu Jin's study. He pointed to the map and said, "My third army of the Ming Dynasty pinched the grassland Tartars. Do you think we can win?"

"It's hard to say. There are too many uncertain factors in war. Although my Ming Dynasty has a three-way army of [-] troops, which is strong and powerful, no one knows how many of the [-] troops really have combat power." I don’t know, but grassland people have always been good at field combat, and they are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind.”

To be honest, Liu Jin was not optimistic about this battle. Although Da Ming almost fought this battle with the strength of the whole country this time, it is hard to say how much fighting power Da Ming's army still has.

At the time of the civil fort change, the fighting power of the Ming army was very strong. Although Wang Zhen, who was completely ignorant of military command, led to a disastrous defeat, it also said from another aspect that the fighting power of the prairie people was definitely not underestimated. .

People on horseback, everyone is good at riding and archery, and the advantage they have in this era of cold weapons is too great.

"Well~ I have the same opinion as you."

"My Daming's army has long since failed. Its armaments and training are slack, and the frontier army still has some combat effectiveness. As for the guards, they don't have any combat effectiveness at all."

"The armies of the three routes seem to be powerful, but in fact, the two armies of the east route and the west route are really capable of fighting. As for the [-] troops of the south route, all of them are guard troops. It is worrying to use them to defend the city. , let alone a field battle with the Tartars.”

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Zhu Houzhao also nodded solemnly.

Then the whole person seemed to have changed, very serious, holding a pen and drawing the situation map of Gansu, Shanxi, and Ningxia on the map, looking like a great general planning strategies.

"Our Ming Dynasty lacks a strong army, a strong army that can fight bloody battles with the grassland people!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Houzhao also said very seriously.

Only when you really face the war will you understand the importance of holding a strong army in your hands.

The Ming court seems huge, and the three-way army looks scary, but in fact it is just a paper tiger, and maybe this time it will be broken by grassland people.

"Your Highness, don't worry, God bless me, Daming, this battle will definitely be won!"

Liu Jin saw that Zhu Houzhao was very worried about this battle, and after thinking about it, he could only comfort him in this way. To be honest, Liu Jin was not optimistic about the Ming army either.

The civil official group suppressed the military generals Xungui group too much. It requires equipment without equipment, military generals without military generals, and training without training.

These soldiers in the army are the bottom of the Ming society, and usually rely on serving as soldiers for a living. How much combat effectiveness do you expect such an army to have?

"God bless me, Daming, I will win this battle~"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately nodded solemnly. Although he was not optimistic about this battle, he still hoped to win this battle.

"Your Highness, in fact, we can do a lot of things for the frontline from the rear."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin also said.

"Oh, tell me now."

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately became interested.

"Your Highness, this battle is my biggest military operation since the civil war in Ming Dynasty, and it is also a battle of our entire nation's strength, so no matter what, this battle must be won and must not be lost."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said slowly.

"Although we are in the rear, we can still provide help and support to the frontline."

"For example, we can raise donations from the entire Ming Dynasty, raise military salaries and military funds, send needed armor and weapons to the soldiers who fought on the front lines, and raise funds to reward them for killing the enemy, and use it to pay for the casualties and so on."

"The Miyun Iron Works under our command can produce armor, weapons and artillery to support the front line; our Tianjin Garment Factory and Jingcheng Textile Factory can produce clothes and shoes; the salted fish manufactured by our Tianjin Port It can also be used as military rations."

"The cement produced by our Tianjin cement manager can be used to strengthen the defense of the front line; our glass factory can produce telescopes to support the front line."

"There are many things we can do. Although we are not on the front line, we can still contribute our own strength. We can also use the Ming Morning Post to mobilize the power of the entire Ming Dynasty, so that more people can participate and form a greater support force. Come support the front lines."

What Liu Jin said naturally comes from the war thoughts of later generations. Wars between countries in later generations often require the mobilization of a country's power. From the leader of a country to the ordinary people, almost all Participate in, the rich contribute money, and the powerful contribute, this kind of thing that involves the battle of the whole country is nothing more than this.

But in ancient times, there was very little lack of mobilization in this area. Usually, the imperial court organized forces to fight, and ordinary people seldom participated. Even in many cases, the northern region was fighting in dire straits, while the southern side was full of singing and dancing. , There is no concentration of the power of the entire country to fight at all.

When Zhu Houzhao heard Liu Jin's words, his small eyes couldn't help but widen.

"This...it's still possible!"

Zhu Houzhao was deeply shocked by this kind of thinking, and then he couldn't help but clenched his fists excitedly and said: "Well said, as long as we Da Ming are united as one, why worry about being invincible in this battle."

"As the prince of Daming, I set an example. I personally donate one million taels of silver. Please arrange to publish this matter in the newspaper for everyone to see. Encourage everyone in Daming to do the same. Get involved."

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he stared at Liu Jin in a daze. The meaning was obvious. I, Zhu Houzhao, had paid a million taels of silver.

"Uh~ I'll donate [-] taels of silver too."

Being looked after by Zhu Hou, Liu Jin said with a smile.

"That's right. It's [-] million taels of silver all of a sudden. When the time comes to kill a tartar and reward [-] taels of silver, I don't believe it. The money will not be easy to use."

Hearing Liu Jin's donation of [-] taels of silver, Zhu Houzhao laughed happily, then touched his chin and said, he now clearly understands the power of money, which is definitely the greatest power in the world.

……

Early the next morning.

"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper~"

"In order to support the frontline fight against the Tartars, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty initiated a fundraising campaign from the entire Ming Dynasty. Those who have the money donate money, those who are powerful donate energy, and those who have supplies donate supplies. We, Daming, are united and we will win this battle!"

The newsboys selling newspapers kept walking in the streets and alleys of the capital, shouting loudly as they walked.

"Give me one~"

"Give me one~"

Because the war with the Tartars is now going on, the Da Ming Morning Post is published as much as possible every day, and everyone pays close attention to this station, so that the sales of the Ming Morning Post are also very hot.

Now in the capital city alone, the Ming Morning Post also sells five copies of the newspaper every day. In many cases, the newsboy who sells the newspaper has not yet appeared, and someone has already been anxiously waiting for it.

As soon as the newsboy appeared, a large number of people crowded over immediately, and everyone wanted to know the latest news as soon as possible.

"His Royal Highness donated one million taels of silver to support the frontline~"

"Liu Jin and Liu Zhuangyuan donated [-] taels of silver~"

"The Miyun Iron Works announced that it would provide [-] sets of armor, [-] pieces of weapons, and [-] artillery pieces to the frontline soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

"The Jingcheng Textile Factory announced to provide [-] sets of clothes and [-] pairs of shoes to the frontline soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

"The Beijing Glass Factory announced a donation of one million taels of silver to support the frontline~"

"Tianjin Cement Plant announces to donate [-] taels of silver and [-] barrels of cement to the front line~"

"Tianjin Port announced a donation of [-] taels of silver and [-] catties of dried salted fish to the front line~"

"..."

On the newspaper, Zhu Houzhao's appeal was published in the most conspicuous place, and a series of donation lists were also listed, mainly the industries under Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao's command.

"Okay~ Great."

"God bless my Ming Dynasty. His Royal Highness is concerned about the country and the people. It is really a blessing for the country. Why worry about being invincible in this battle."

In the Beijing-Tianjin area, when everyone saw Zhu Houzhao's appeal and the list of donations listed below, every Ming person couldn't help but feel excited.

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao dared to be the first in the world and set an example for the people of the world. He took out millions of taels of silver, and many properties under his command were not stingy. , They all use their actual actions to express their attitudes to the whole world.

"Big Ming luck~"

"The Blessing of the Land~"

"This battle will be won!"

"Da Ming will win!"

With the publication in the newspaper, the entire Beijing-Tianjin area caused a huge sensation.

In restaurants, teahouses, streets and alleys, academies, and even brothels and Chu houses, every bloody Daming person clapped their hands and applauded, each and every one of them felt as if their blood was about to boil.

Everyone in the past seemed to be very afraid, very afraid, afraid that this battle would be lost, afraid that it would shake Daming's society, but at this moment, everyone firmly believed that Daming would win!
