Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 370 Two things
In the port of Dalian Port, a large cargo ship berthed and docked, but this was not surprising to the workers at the port of Dalian Port.Every day, ships from Korea, Dongying, Ryukyu, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Yizhou come in and out of Dalian Port, which has become the most prosperous place for commodity transactions in Northeast Asia.What attracted them was of course the industrial products in southern Liaoning and the huge influence here.This is a place at the heart of Northeast Asia.

"You all be careful, don't damage these goods easily." Goodyear is very precious to this batch of rubber transported thousands of miles from Qiongzhou Prefecture.

"Finally back to the south of Liaoning, the dry weather in the north still makes me feel comfortable. The humidity in the southern islands is too heavy, this is a sin." Standing on the bow of the boat overlooking the land below, Cheng Hong felt the long-lost intimacy .

Looking at the dock workers on the pier who were hard at work carrying goods, Cheng Hong noticed a group of people dressed as Dongying warriors also carrying large and small packages to their Dongying ships.

"These people are merchants from Japan? Why are they all dressed as warriors? Although some merchants from Japan will hire wandering warriors to provide military protection for merchant ships, it is rare to see a group of warriors appearing on a ship at the same time, right?" Cheng Macro was puzzled.

But the thought in his mind just passed in a flash, and then he put the matter behind him.Back in southern Liaoning, of course, I want to have a good time in this colorful world.

In the backyard of Chu Yun's mansion, Chu Yun was lying on the grand master's chair with his eyes closed, and the grand master's chair was under the shade of a tree, with the gentle breeze blowing, he could relieve the scorching heat a little.For this era without air conditioning, it is simply a disaster.It can be warmed in winter, but it is difficult to escape the heat in summer.

After many things were handled by someone, the Fuliao Army was also on the right track to rapidly expand its influence.In the north, the Siberian Pioneering Group is tirelessly exploring new lands and marking the topographic map of Siberia.In the west, the Inner Mongolia Grassland Railway is being built, and the Li Zicheng forces that are secretly supporting it have also made progress.In the south, they marched to Guangzhou and Qiongzhou.The expansion of Eastern influence to Honshu Island in the Eastern Kingdom has attracted the attention of the Tokugawa Shogunate.

"Ella, has Li Zicheng made any progress recently?" Chu Yun closed his eyes and said, holding a copy of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" on his stomach, as if he was about to fall asleep while reading.

And behind him, Ella, the daughter of Naval Fleet Admiral Nelson, was rubbing his shoulders, which can be said to be very much like a landlord.

"Your Excellency is very concerned about Li Zicheng? You have to ask him every now and then, and the people in the military almost suspect that you are the one...how did the idiom come from? By the way, Longyang's addiction." Aila's words were in Chu It rang in Yun's ear.

"Bah, what is Longyang's habit, are those people in the military department idle and have nothing to do, I will let them train recruits later." Chu Yun almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

"Li Zicheng has now fled to the junction of Heluo, Shaanxi, and Sichuan. He has assembled peasant troops from the three provinces. He claims to have an army of 20. He is invincible. Many government officials either abandoned the city and fled, or surrendered to Li Zicheng." Aila said.

"The Peasant Army is like this. They can rise up no matter how many times they are defeated, because as long as the common people don't have enough to eat for a day, they will rise up. But the Ming Dynasty is different. Every failure will lose the majesty of the court. A large number of The new force and excellent commanders were consumed in the battle with the continuous peasant army, and they would eventually fail. Like this time, some of the Guanning Army, Changping Army, Changping Army, etc. The Datong Army, the Xuanfu Army and other frontier fortress troops suffered heavy losses when they were attacked by Li Zicheng's peasant army. What Ming can rely on are these troops stationed at the frontier fortress for a long time, and they are the most capable of fighting. Once they are exhausted, they will eventually be unable to organize troops If you counterattack, you will not be far from being destroyed." Chu Yun said slowly.

"In my opinion, none of these Qin soldiers, Guanning troops, and Changping troops are the opponents of our Fuliao army. You can win whoever you want to fight," Ella said.

"You, you, your mouth is really sweet, but what you said is correct. What we need to consider is not whether we can win, but how to maximize our benefits." Chu Yun said, "Li Zicheng is about to become the one who overthrew the Ming Dynasty. The last straw, guess where he will attack next with the strength of the peasant army from the three provinces?"

"It should be to cross the Yellow River in the north, go to Xuanda and Shanxi, and go straight to the capital, right? If Li Zicheng didn't take advantage of the fact that the court was dizzy by this counterattack and could not effectively organize troops to suppress it again, he would just go east. Luo and the land of the two lakes are plundered, so we don't have any need to support them." Ella said.

"You are right. Li Zicheng has to take the capital this time, otherwise I will give up this chess piece and lead the army into the customs." Chu Yun said in a calm tone, as if taking down the capital of the Ming Dynasty was an extremely common thing. .

"However, if Li Zicheng is determined to take over the capital this time, we will help him one last time."

"My lord has already sold some front-loading muskets and copper cannons that we eliminated to them, how else do you want to help him?"

"In the past two years, haven't we newly established four brigades including the Seventh Infantry Brigade, Eighth Infantry Brigade, Ninth Infantry Brigade and Second Artillery Brigade? Most of them have not experienced the baptism of war, so they will They were dispatched to the Ningyuan and Xuanda frontlines, bombarding the Ming army's defenses from time to time, and put pressure on the Ming army, making it impossible for them to have at least [-] frontier troops to suppress Li Zicheng." Chu Yun said.

"We have used this trick badly. My lord, you often threaten the emperor of Ming Dynasty with the pass." Ella laughed.

"This is called a trick that is popular all over the world. Who gave us the strength." Chu Yun said.

At the same time, he secretly felt sorry for Emperor Chongzhen. Even if Hou Jin, who had caused him headaches in history, was eliminated, it was replaced by a Liao army who did not even dare to raise the courage to attack.At least in the past two years, during the Ming Dynasty, no minister proposed to attack the Liao army outside the pass.

"By the way, my lord has had a rare rest these days, so I shouldn't bother you, but our intelligence department has recently noticed two things besides following up on Li Zicheng's line, which may be of interest to you," Ella said. .

"Oh? Just say it." Chu Yun said.

"The first thing is about the Chechen Khan of Mobei Mongolia in the west of the Hulun Buir Grassland, and the second thing is about the Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan," Ella said.

"Mobei Mongolia, and the Tokugawa shogunate, these two are our close neighbors."
