Then Zhu Hongsan began to prepare for the Northern Expedition, and in order to prepare for the Northern Expedition Zhu Hongsan, he mobilized 80% of the troops in his hands, which were divided into three branches of the East Road Army, the Central Road Army, and the Western Road Army.The main force is the East Road Army, led by Emperor Zhu Hongsan, the Middle Road Army is Ma Kun led by the four divisions, they are responsible for occupying Henan, and then into Shaanxi, the East Road Army is Zhou Yu's two divisions, they have contacted He Tengzhao into the Sichuan forces, they are responsible for calming the Sichuan war.

At the same time, in order to ensure the logistics supply, Zhu Hongsan control area of the three major weapons factories to start production, Nanchang Gunpowder Bureau is responsible for the Central Road Army and the West Road Army weapons and equipment, Xuanwu Lake Manufacturing Bureau is responsible for the weapons and equipment of the Central Road Army, Guangzhou Manufacturing Bureau to fully produce naval weapons and equipment.At the same time, Zhu Hongsan threw a large number of orders to those civilian factories, using them to produce military uniforms, cowhide armed belts, bullet belts, boots, wooden gun racks of artillery and other unimportant equipment.

Under the strong intervention of Zhu Hongsan, and under the excellent administrative ability of Ma Mingyuan, the silver dollar was spent like running water, and those who had a relationship with the army order, Hu Guangxun, made a fortune.

In the sixth year of Shenwu in March, the troop build-up was completed, and Zhu Hongsan and the cabinet discussed preparations to cross the Yangtze River on the 15th and officially began the Northern Expedition.

On March 15th, the weather was good on this day, and today is also the time for Zhu Hongsan to officially go out.

Today is the most important moment in Zhu Hongsan's life, even when he ascended the throne in Guangzhou, it is not now important.In Guangzhou, Daming has lost half of the country, and several provinces in Jiangnan have also been occupied by several clansmen, and everyone has called.So Zhu Hongsan at that time was completely uncertain about whether he could win the final victory in the future, but was passively pushed to the throne by those cabinet ministers.

Now it is different, Zhu Hongsan has occupied all the land south of the Yangtze River except Sichuan, holding the 200,000th of the most powerful new Ming army in East Asia, the Navy's thousands of tons of warships have 18, hundreds of other types of ships, this strength does not say hanging full of children, that is, pulling down Europe to go to a hey.Of course, in terms of naval strength, it is still not as good as traditional maritime powers such as Spain, Britain, and the Netherlands.

In contrast, the Manchurian opposite the Yangtze River, since the death of Nurhachi's sons, Manchu's third generation has no decent talent at all, and Kangxi the Great, who can only compete with Zhu Hongsan, is still crawling in his father's pants, and he does not know when he has the opportunity to be reincarnated.The whole of the north because of years of famine and war, except for several provinces and counties around the north of the Shuntian Province, Manqing has no complete ruling foundation in other provinces.

And with the death of Dorgon, the only strategist, no one was suppressed, and in the crazy running-horse circles in the north and all over Shanxi, the group of fine aristocracy turned the farmers on the land into their serfs, and this anti-social trend of the retrograde prompted a large number of peasants to flee, thus exacerbating the famine in the north.

The economic aggression of the Zhu Hongsan Group was also very fruitful, and the silver dollar produced by the Nanjing Mint was exquisitely worked, and with this silver dollar could be exchanged for tight sugar and salt, and this strong currency immediately occupied the financial markets of the northern provinces.At the same time, because silver cannot circulate legally in the south, a large amount of silver in the north cannot freely exchange silver dollars, and can only be smuggled to the south.A silver dollar with one or two weights is exchanged for one or two silver in the southern official, but on the black market, one silver dollar can be exchanged for three or two silver, and even in the northern provinces, there are four or five two silver coins.

The silver of these northern provinces was smuggled into the south by various channels, and it could cast four to five times the silver dollar, and returned to the north in exchange for a large amount of coal, pig iron, horses, and cloth, and some of the Qing nobles smuggled grain to the south in exchange for all kinds of fast-willed industrial products in the south.In this way, under the economic war of Zhu Hongsan, the financial situation tends to be bankrupt, and some places have already circulated the ancient money of the Tang and Song periods, and some places have begun to barter with goods.

Zhu Hongsan got up early, with the help of a small eunuch to wear the emperor's full suit, today's first thing is to go to the city outside the city to worship Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Hongsan came to the horse stone at the entrance of Xiaoling, where he could not ride, but could only walk into the filial mausoleum.

Zhu Hongsan wears a full set of imperial robes, wearing the emperor's twelve diatribe, this body has more than 30 pounds, not to mention to take these things to take the twelve miles of mountain road.

Zhu Hong three side side while scolding Zhu Yuanzhang in the heart, why set up that horse stone?How good it is to get in by car!

However, Zhu Hongsan is now the emperor, everyone has to serve him, so there are more than 100 people serving around, there are fan, water, and on the edge for the emperor's drumming, in short, it took a half an hour, Zhu Hongsan only finished this mountain road.

After entering the square city is the main building of Xiaoling, that is, the shrine dedicated to Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, but now in addition to Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, Zhu Hongsan also got the god card of the first generation Chu Wang Zhuzhen's birth mother Hu Tingfei, also entered, placed on the right side of Zhu Yuanzhang.Zhu Hongsan gave himself a title to this old ancestor, for "filial piety quietly Shuming Hui Zheng and Anyu End Muchen Shunren Queen", and Queen Ma's "filial piety zheshun Ren coat of arms into the sky to educate the highest empress" echo.

Today to announce with the sky is Zhu Hongsan's new big pole Hanlin, the prince left-begong De Huang Zongxi wrote "to expel Hu Yu, rejuvenation, crusade against Liaodong rebellious 愄�", this is a national book, in the written before the cabinet has had a fierce debate, Manqing in the end is not a foreign regime, just like the Mongolian Yuan.After the courtiers' argument and the search for the history books, it is proved that Nurhachi was only a close soldier of Li Chengliang, and Nurhachi was born incomparably, and it is likely that Li Chengliang's illegitimate son was, so all courtiers concluded that Manqing could not be regarded as a foreign regime, but could only be the same as Li Zicheng's Daxi, Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi, at best, a rebellion.

There are many benefits to this, at least because it has legal sovereignty over the entire Liaodong and Mongolia, because the Mongolian ministries have surrendered to the whole of Mongolia.Another advantage is to satisfy the psychology of those sergeants, after all, a few years ago was full of run is them, now Manqing said to be rebellious, psychologically defeated by their own people is still somewhat acceptable.

Zhu Hongsan in the text first from the stuttering emperor Zhu Yushen began to scold, has been scolding the emperor of the dead country his father-in-law worshipped the emperor Zhu Yuxuan, so scolding can not be, the former emperor did not do well, how can he Zhu Hongsan ascend?This is a political attitude!

The paragraph in the text said that you Zhu Yuanzhang's order is good, when a good son was born is the emperor's sixth son Zhu Zhen, Zhu Zhen luck is also good, there is a son named Zhu Hongsan, see the world by the Yan Wang a scourge into this, the heart can not bear the old ancestor of the river corruption, in Guangzhou to the army, captured Nanjing.

The last paragraph of the text is the general policy of the Manchu operation, you Nurhachi was only a small follower of my big Ming Liaodong general Liang, you should be grateful to Tiann grace to inspire Tianliang to be the cannon fodder for me, but you are ungrateful to take advantage of the problems inside the Ming to take advantage of the fire, which is really heinous.Now the old man Zhu Hongsan is the emperor, the old man is not the old Yan king's bastard emperor, so now in Nanjing to fight to your hometown.

At the same time, all Han officials in the whole world were warned, as long as they still hold the official position, the great Ming Wang Master arrived, as long as the Kaesong surrendered and did not resist, they could stay in their original position!If you are afraid of revenge, you can also abandon the official to escape, all previous sins have never been guilty.But if you want to follow the Manchu Qing against the Great Ming Wang, you will be embarrassed, and you will be killed after you copy the family!

Some of the words have been read down at noon, this is still Zhu Hongsan will be behind the text in advance, to know that the university asked the family Huang Zongxi is written in words.In fact, Zhu Hongsan's water products are not bad, but the literati of this era have a problem, they like to use the word, and they seem to have their own talents.This can be painful to the semi-literate Zhu Hongsan, there is no way to only in the palace first the words in the text with Pinyin annotation, and then back down, which did not fall off the chain at this critical moment.

Zhu Hongsan read it, returned to the palace with all the courtiers, and the next one was about to swear that the division had gone north.

As the main force of the East Road Army, there were seven musketeers with 110,000 soldiers, 50,000 cavalry three divisions, and 50,000 troops in the logistics force of 50,000, with a total of 20,000 troops.However, these people can not all go out together in Nanjing, as early as four divisions six months ago to Yangzhou, all the cavalry also went to Yangzhou six months ago, so stay in Nanjing is only the two divisions led by the Forbidden Division and Qian Yong, a total of 45,000 people.

These 45,000 people lined up in a neat line to stand on the big playground outside Zhengyangmen, standing from the morning until noon, motionless, so that some of the local guards around Nanjing are very moving.I did not expect these lake guos to really suffer, three hours a mouthful of water did not drink, just in the sun stood in the morning.

In the meantime, the door of the Zhengyang Gate was wide open, and Zhu Hongsan, the emperor of the gods, dressed in a bright yellow garrison, walked out of the Zhengyang Gate under the protection of 5,000 garrison guards.

The 45,000 soldiers of the Ming Army, like wood carvings, saw the arrival of the emperor and shouted in a voice: "Welcome your majesty!"Long live your majesty!”The new soldiers shouted three times, which was really shocking.

Zhu Hongsan smiled, these are the soldiers he brought out by his own hands, he brought several adult princes to the good platform, said to the soldiers: "The old son is the emperor Zhu Hongsan, that is, the mixed Zhu Hongsan in Wuchang, now the old man is the emperor, to take you to the north to fight the full turret, you are willing?"

"May he die for the Emperor's majesty!"May he die for the Emperor!May he die for the Emperor!”

Zhu Hongsan nodded with satisfaction and said, “Very good!Don't worry, Lao Tzu is not an ungrateful person, as long as you can kill the enemy and report to the country, the money and beauty are a lot of drops!"Zhu Hongsan said after all the soldiers below laughing!
