Chapter 172 Chongzhen Escapes
After Emperor Chongzhen came up with a countermeasure.
Let the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate immediately.
Then in the small town beside the Grand Canal.
A grand court meeting was held.
Many people were enthusiastic at the grand court meeting.
He looks like a righteous and loyal minister who serves the public.
They all cursed Mao Wenlong as a disloyal and treacherous traitor.
They unanimously demanded that the court send troops quickly.
They also put forward the slogan that the emperor guards the country's borders and the king dies for the country.
Wanted Emperor Chongzhen to stay in Xuzhou.
Inspire the morale of the army and the people, and command the army to march north...
Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart when he heard this.
These guys really are planning this!
Then the British prince began to perform.
"You all have a point, but Mao Wenlong and his men are too powerful. After the reorganization of the Beijing Camp, there are only 10 soldiers left.
This little bit of troops should be used to protect His Majesty. If we want to march north, we simply don't have that much troops. Do you have any good ideas?"
Wang Huazhen went on to say: "Not only are we short of troops, we are also short of food, fodder, and weapons. We have nothing. How can we fight the Northern Expedition?"
Yuan Chonghuan then jumped out and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the Guanning Iron Cavalry and serve as the vanguard of your Majesty's Northern Expedition.
However, the Guanning Iron Cavalry has too few troops. It would be better to let the nephews and nieces of all the adults who support the Northern Expedition, as well as the children of noble families from all over the country, join the army and go north with the ministers, so as to fulfill your wish of the Northern Expedition.
In addition, regarding food supplies and weapons, my lords and noble families from all over the country, since you all support the Northern Expedition so much, you will not be reluctant to provide some food supplies to the Northern Expedition army, right?"
Sorry!
Those guys who are clamoring for a Northern Expedition.
Everyone's expression froze.
While cursing Yuan Chonghuan in his heart.
Quickly think of a solution in your mind.
Then some people said that soldiers should be drawn from garrisons in various places, since the Ming Dynasty had so many garrisons anyway.
Just draw soldiers from the garrisons in various places.
Organizing a million-strong army is not a problem.
As for the issue of food and fodder, some people are calling for a tax increase.
Then Yuan Chonghuan and others said - whether it was to withdraw troops or increase taxes.
In the current situation.
It's totally too late in terms of time...
Then both sides started to argue with each other.
After everyone had been arguing for a long time.
It was Emperor Chongzhen's turn to perform.
Emperor Chongzhen in front of all civil and military officials.
He was so sad that he cried bitterly, saying that he had lost half of his country and felt sorry for his ancestors.
So we must hurry to Fengyang to pay homage to Taizu.
Go to the Emperor Taizu's Mausoleum to ask for forgiveness from him...
Then let Wang Huazhen and the civil and military officials continue to discuss countermeasures there.
Then there was not enough opposition from many ministers.
Emperor Chongzhen led the soldiers of the Beijing Camp directly south...
As soon as those guys saw the emperor, they ran away.
What's the point of discussing this?
So Emperor Chongzhen had just left.
Those who had previously clamored for a Northern Expedition.
Immediately, they rushed to run away...
……
When Mao Wenlong received the news.
After reading the telegram, I couldn't help laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
As expected, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty court.
99% of them are good at talking nonsense.
It is almost impossible to get them to do something practical!
Encountering such a group of selfish, unscrupulous and unscrupulous officials
Emperor Chongzhen was also extremely unlucky!
This is also the terrifying thing about the aristocratic families and various interest groups.
Not only can they turn the person on the throne into a puppet.
It can also turn all the ministers in the court into useless pieces.
This way.
It will be more convenient for them to control everything in secret...
After Mao Wenlong finished laughing.
Didn't pay much attention to this matter.
Because in Mao Wenlong's view, the Ming court was not worthy of his attention at all.
Just let the army under his command.
Just push forward according to the plan.
Mao Wenlong is now mainly busy with three things.
First, it is the education system and teaching materials previously formulated.
Mao Wenlong is having people implement it step by step.
As the saying goes, education is the foundation of a long-term plan.
Want to eliminate the influence of Confucianism.
We want to cultivate all kinds of talents needed to conquer the world and govern the world in the future.
Then we must do a good job in education.
The second is military production.
Mao Wenlong had to find ways to research and produce various weapons and equipment.
To support the war in the Bright Sword World...
The third is spring farming production.
There is a shortage of food everywhere now.
Without food and full stomachs, everything else is just empty talk!
It was already early April, 1630.
The north is cold due to the weather.
The spring ploughing time is also later than in the south.
Mao Wenlong took to the Korean Peninsula, planting and harvesting potatoes, corn and pumpkins.
Most of them were shipped to Liaodong as seeds.
Then it was planted on a large scale on the black soil in the Northeast.
Because there are not enough seeds.
Mao Wenlong was about to contact Li Yunlong and others.
Then from the world of Bright Sword.
Get some seeds of high-yield crops.
There is war raging on the side of Liang Jian. How will the situation develop in the future?
No one can tell now.
Because the wheel of history has shifted its direction.
Everything has become uncertain!
So they want to engage in large-scale cultivation.
There is no suitable place!
It’s Mao Wenlong’s side.
Just the vast Liaodong region.
You can grow countless amounts of food.
By then, you will not only be able to meet your needs.
It should also be able to provide some food support to Li Yunlong and his men.
The problem is corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and squash.
These are high-yield food crops.
It is too unfamiliar to people in the late Ming Dynasty world.
One is that I don’t know how to plant it.
Another reason is that ordinary people will have psychological resistance.
——Fear of planting these so-called high-yield crops and ending up with nothing.
The result of getting nothing is hunger.
Then the tragedy of cannibalism happened again!
This is the mentality of ordinary people.
Mao Wenlong could fully understand this.
So he had to personally oversee the spring farming production.
Try every possible means to promote high-yield food crops.
And just when Mao Wenlong was extremely busy.
Someone actually came out to disrupt the spring farming production...
