Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1659 The three great princes have their own thoughts!superior

The time has entered February.

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

The harsh winter weather has gradually passed away, the climate between the heaven and the earth is beginning to warm up, the ice and snow are melting, and Lu Bu's dry weeds have also begun to grow.

At this time, the world that had entered into a period of truce suddenly shook again.

"Have you heard that our army has begun to mobilize, and someone saw Erlang marching on the official road yesterday!"

"It's not a secret anymore. The imperial court has ordered that the army has already begun to move troops to the front. This matter has already spread in Yudu City!"

"The main force of my Ming army was stationed in Baidi City before, and now they are all moving to the front line. You haven't seen that the soldiers all the way are full of spirit and will definitely win the battle!"

"Our Daming's son Lang is naturally amazing!"

"Your Majesty has long wanted to rule the world, and it's normal to move now!"

"This war is always a bad thing!"

"If you don't fight, can you have peace in the world? This is called ending war with war!"

"I trust Your Majesty!"

"It hasn't been long since the Ming Dynasty was peaceful, and it's dispatched again. I heard that at this moment, they will still come out in full force. I don't know how many people will sleep on the battlefield forever!"

"No matter how many people die in battle, it is worth it for the great cause of unification, and it is an honor for a man, Qi Chierlang, to wrap his body in horse leather for the peace of the world!"

"Building meritorious deeds is inherently risky, and I, Daming, have been very kind to the soldiers. I used to fight wars, let alone pensions, and I can't even keep my name after death!"

"That's what you said, our son, many people want to be soldiers, follow the example of General Huang Zhong, rely on the knife in the palm, dismount from the horse, and become a marquis and worship minister!"

"It's not so easy to be a Marquis and a Prime Minister. How many sons died in battle, it's a good thing to put down the war as soon as possible. If you don't fight in the future, you can live a good life!"

"Tell me, will His Majesty be defeated!"

"fart!"

"Our Majesty, we have conquered the world, and we have never been defeated!"

"But I heard that he was defeated before. When His Majesty was in Guanzhong, he was attacked by the princes of the Guandong, defeated Luoyang, and fled southward. Many people know about it!"

"You know what, our Majesty joined the army at a young age, and dared to lead his troops to conquer the world. If the former Lord hadn't died in battle, how could His Majesty have been attacked by a little boy and defeated Luoyang? The vassals formed a siege and still could not encircle His Majesty, but His Majesty's military strategy is no less than that of the Marquis of Huaiyin back then!"

"Good, Your Majesty is the undefeated God of War!"

"I hope that Your Majesty will be undefeated, Your Majesty will be undefeated, and Ming Dynasty will be undefeated. The better Ming Dynasty is, the better our life will be. How many taxes have been reduced in these few years!"

"Last year, [-] mu of land in the outskirts of Dongxian County were allocated to our people for two days. This is a rare thing in all dynasties!"

"The snow disaster in the previous cold winter, if it was in previous years, would have killed many people from freezing and starvation. But with the support of the imperial court, although some houses in our county collapsed, only three or four people were killed or injured, and none of them died of starvation or freezing. Those who died were all smashed to death, in previous years, even with the power of the Han court in the past, I don’t know how many people would have died!”

"We also hope that Daming can rule the world, so that we can have a good life!"

"Hope it!"

"This time your majesty is going to fight, if we can calm down the world, we will have better hope in the future!"

"..."

Because under the mobilization of the Ming army, wave after wave was formed, and it quickly fermented among the people. The voice of the people is the most authentic and the closest to the facts.

..........................................

Nine floors up.

Mujing looked at the report in his hand, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Hu Zhao, and asked, "How real is this thing?"

"Basically, the people below don't dare to fool too much in this regard. The public opinion is true, but there must be some people who oppose the war. For example, those scholars who read Confucian classics will join hands to play, hoping to use Confucian benevolence and righteousness to influence Opponents, so as to dominate the world through non-war means!"

Hu Zhao said softly.

This is a public opinion survey on war. Once a war breaks out, it is not just an issue on the front line, it is also a matter of the whole world.

The shadow of war will cover everyone. When the imperial court makes concessions for the war, the policy on people's livelihood will also slow down.

This is tantamount to involving everyone's interests.

So before the war, there will be a public opinion survey, which will allow Mujing and the imperial court to have some plans for how to appease the hearts of the people in the coming down.

"It's a good thing!"

Mu Jing laughed, and said: "The people are quite supportive of our unification of the world. The people are like water, and we are like a boat. If the flood does not turn the waves, we will be as stable as a mountain. Even if the road ahead is bumpy, we can go smoothly! "

"It makes sense!"

Hu Zhao agrees with the description of Mujing in this way. In some scriptures of Mencius, it is like the people are more important than the emperor, and Mujing obviously fits the scriptures in this respect.

He continued: "Recently, the Zhengshitang has also received a lot of memorials. Although some of them are indeed opposed to our imminent war, most of them are from aristocratic families, local gentry and wealthy families, who actively support us in starting a war, and are even willing to go to war." Donate some food, grass, and military supplies to ensure our logistics problems!"

"They have such good intentions?" Mu Jing asked curiously, "I almost got into a fight with them on the issue of the New Deal. Can they still have such great support for me to rule the world?"

He didn't believe there was such a good thing.

"It's not that they are particularly willing, but those local officials are unwilling to let go of the opportunity to show their loyalty, so they will naturally put some pressure on them!"

Hu Zhao is not surprised by this kind of thing. The promotion of an official requires merit, and the performance of the local gentry is also very important to them.

"Of course, there are some people here who are sincere. Although His Majesty's New Deal has touched their interests, it does not mean that they are disgusted with the Ming regime!"

Hu Zhao began to analyze, and said: "After your Majesty established the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty ruled the world with a system. Within the system, even if your Majesty did something wrong, he would be held accountable. Although it cannot be said that the emperor broke the law and the common people were guilty of the same crime, it also made them I feel that even the Son of Heaven dare not attack them outside the system, which greatly increases their sense of security. The previous dynasty could not do this anymore, and they are more willing to compete with His Majesty within the system! "

"In addition, there is another point. Daming has been supporting merchants and merchants for these years. Many people looked down on merchants before, but there are more merchants, but it has brought more goods to the world. The circulation of goods has brought more goods to the local people. A lot of benefits!"

"Everything in the world is for profit. When they feel that Daming can have a better life, and they don't even need to rely on their own background, they can live a good life, and they don't pay too much attention to the so-called country gentry!"

As he said that, Hu Zhao still admired Mu Jing, and he continued in a low voice: "I was also a little puzzled when Your Majesty praised merchants, but now it seems that His Majesty's eyes are really extraordinary, and you can tell at a glance, merchants The greatest power allows the circulation of goods. Under the circulation of goods, more merchants will be born. With more and more merchants, the more influential the gentry and wealthy families are, especially the gentry and wealthy families. I hope to have more influence in the local area through the family as a bond, but if they know it, they can gain a foothold, so why rely on the family!"

Some things have a chemical reaction when they develop. Mu Jing praised merchants because he was born in a business, and he has a good impression of merchants. He also believes that in this era, the power of merchants is needed to promote the development of capital. , to change the backwardness of the times.

It didn't check and balance some people because of this, but it was intentional to arrange flowers to keep them from blooming, but unintentionally to plant willows and willows to make shade, sometimes things are so magical.

"it is good!"

Mu Jing laughed: "It seems that they have already begun to have a certain sense of belonging to Daming, as long as this sense of belonging is strong enough, then no matter how much they fight with Zhen in the future, at least they will not dare to turn the tables. Good thing!"

The new deal must continue, but the new deal will also bring losses to the beneficiaries of the old order, so they will definitely oppose it, and they will need to fight in the future.

But you can fight any way you want, you can't turn the tables, you can't win the fight, either rebellion or defection, then for Daming, the loss is heavy, no matter Mujing wins or loses in the end, it is Daming's power that will be lost.

He was quite happy with this matter.

"Your Majesty, don't be too happy. They may not take the opportunity to attack and use this support for the war to seek more support from the imperial court!"

Hu Zhao said calmly: "They know they can't beat His Majesty, but if they tie up more officials of the court, His Majesty will tie his hands and feet!"

"Zhen, I have already prepared for this!"

Mu Jing smiled coldly, and said: "Before the war is over, I will not intensify the conflict and let them win over the preparations. After the war is over, only those who can adapt to the development of the times can stay according to their own principles. The policy is also the same. Similarly, if they are right and can get more people to agree, then I can also admit defeat, on the contrary, if my new policy can be more recognized by the people, then even if they are bankrupt, they have to admit defeat!"

Hu Zhao stopped talking. On this topic, it is difficult for them to reach a consensus. Sooner or later, there will be a fight, but before that, war is the theme.

"Since the people have support for the war, we don't have to be too cautious. You order the Propaganda Department to move first!"

Mu Jing put his hands on his back, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and said: "I must first resonate with the people in the Ming Dynasty, and the hearts of the people want it, so that the fighting spirit of the soldiers will soar!"

The support from the rear can often determine the morale of frontline soldiers, because most soldiers have family members and relatives and friends. If they think that their family members, relatives and friends are unconditionally supporting them in fighting, they will become Be very brave.

The battlefield is a field of life and death. Before facing life and death, no matter how brave the soldiers are, they need the support of more people.

"Sir, obey!"

Hu Zhao nodded. If he did it himself, it must cause a general trend of boiling in the entire Ming Dynasty. Only in this way can the front line be invincible, directly destroy the Han Dynasty, and unify the world.

..................................................................

The mobilization of the Ming army was not considered a secret, and it could even be regarded as a big fanfare, especially when public opinion in the territory was aroused, and the actions on the front line were repeated.

These news quickly let the three princes of the Han Dynasty know.

Yelou had the best news, so Xu was the fastest to get the news. When the news of the Ming army's transfer appeared on Cao Cao's desk, he was not surprised at all.

Cao Cao returned to the imperial court from Yecheng after the year, and within three days of returning to Xudu, he received news of the transfer of the Ming army.

This news should not come as a surprise to him, after all he has prepared in his heart, and he has made a budget that Mujing will not give him too much time to prepare.

But he still felt a little surprised.

too urgent.

He thought he would be the one to strike first, but it was obvious that the Ming army had become impatient first.

"Mulongtu, I'm really in a hurry!"

Standing in the hall of Prince Wei's Mansion, Cao Cao had a cold look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Ming thief can't wait, and I'm afraid we have to make preparations!" Xun Yu knelt beside him, cupped his hands and said, "However, the imperial court is not enough in terms of food and grass. After all, we fought Wancheng first last year, and then Another battle against Guandu has consumed too much of our food and grass accumulation!"

"Do you have any countermeasures in this regard?"

Cao Cao also had some headaches, but he was not afraid of a battle. Now that the three major princes have formed an alliance, he may not be afraid of this battle.

If the Wei army alone faced the Ming army alone, he would indeed lack confidence, but if the forces of the three major princes still could not defeat the Ming army, then it would be fate.

The problem of food and grass is always the most important issue. The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. If this cannot be guaranteed, then the only option is to strictly guard against it.

"Your Majesty, if the winter has just passed, there will be no surplus food anywhere!"

Yang Biao shook his head and said softly.

Cao Cao smiled wryly. He knew what Yang Biao was thinking, and he would not persecute him too much. He still needed his help to stabilize the court.

"Prepare as much as possible!"

Cao Cao finally said, "Zixiu!"

"exist!"

"You are in charge of raising food and grass, and I give you power. You can do whatever you want, as long as you see the food and grass!"

"My son..." Cao Ang was a little embarrassed, this is a tough bone.

"Don't dare to take responsibility, or don't want to solve problems for loneliness!"

"My son takes orders!"

Cao Ang took a deep breath and bowed his hands to accept the order.

"Let's all go down, my head hurts a bit, I won't discuss anything with you today!"

"Yes!"

The crowd came out.

When he came out, Cao Ang could only approach Xun Yu, and said with a wry smile: "Prime Minister, is there a way to raise food and grass like this?"

"My son, this is the test given to you by the king. Even if I have the law, I dare not pass it on!" Xun Yu shook his head, and he said softly: "But you can find some aides, the king has given you the way to open the house." You have the right, take it well!"
