The entire Liaodong was now in a regiment, and the soldiers of each battalion were divided into company-level units and began to sweep away the Manchu Jurchens throughout Liaodong.

After Duoduo's journey, the Qing Dynasty was destroyed.

The Western Front battlefield formed by the first and third infantry battalions of the Liaodong Army and the second cavalry battalion of the Shandong Army did not face strong resistance during the advancement.

You Xuefeng led the Liaodong Army's First Infantry Battalion to capture Guangning first, and then along the Daling River, he captured more than 20 Qing Dynasty War Forts, and then advanced to Yizhou.

This Yizhou is not Yizhou, North Korea, but an important city on the Daling River defense line. It was captured by the Qing Dynasty in the Battle of Daling River in the fourth year of Chongzhen.

Wu Yongliang, with four thousand cavalry and Shi Yunyi, the commander of the Third Infantry Battalion, crossed the Daling River directly and stationed on the other side of the Xiaoling River.

The government troops stationed in Xiaoling River were the lines of Textile Jinzhou and Songshan to steal the results of the Shandong army.

The Shandong Army fought against the Qing army too fast. In just two days, the first day crossed the Taizi River and Hunhe River, and the next day the second day the Qing army fought against the Hunhe River.

On the fourth day, Wu Yongliang and Shi Yunyi appeared on the other side of Xiaoling River with their troops.

This made the official troops in Jinzhou and Songshan confused and had no idea what was going on. How did these Shandong troops come to western Liaoning?

The Liaoxi official army was dispatched at night and finally got shocking news that the Shandong army defeated 160,000 Qing troops in Hunhe.

And it also conquered Shenyang. The Shandong army was recovering lost territories everywhere in Liaodong.

Zu Dashou, who was guarding Jinzhou, hurriedly brought people to visit the Shandong army stationed on the other side of the Xiaoling River. Wu Yongliang, Shi Yunyi and Zu Dashou greeted each other on the other side of the Xiaoling River. Zu Dashou quickly vaguely understood what they meant from their words.

I don't want the imperial army to cross the river to make trouble.

Or rather, Zhao Yan fell in love with the territory of Liaodong, and the court went to rest while playing.

Zu Dashou knew the meaning of the Shandong Army, and after returning to Jinzhou, he was very aware of it and did not move at all.

...As soon as the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Zhao Yan felt relaxed.

The situation is no longer as urgent as before, and there is no need to think all day long about how to strengthen military strength as quickly as possible.

There are still a few more professional troops in the past 200,000.

Zhao Yan suddenly had this idea.

But without affecting development, it is necessary to have more professional troops. After all, it is solved by solving Liaodong, and there is also a vast territory like the Ming Dynasty and overseas colonies waiting to be occupied.

Only with enough troops can you swallow it. Professional soldiers fight in front and conscripts defend in back. This is a good way.

After Zhao Yan felt relaxed, he cared more about how much money Liaodong could get and how many slaves he caught.

Just as Liu Heng calculated, a coolie costs at least one tael of silver in Shandong, and even higher in some areas in the south.

If you catch a slave who doesn't have money, you can get at least ten taels of silver in a year.

One person has ten taels, one million people has ten million taels, and two million people has twenty million taels.

This is why Zhao Yan is so keen on transporting Japanese slaves.

In this era when the steam engine was not yet put into use on a large scale, slaves had value and profits were still very high, and they would not steal the people's jobs. After all, Zhao Yan still had to build a lot of projects, and the labor volume was very large.

Using these slaves to build projects will create a large amount of hidden income. This was common in the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Ming Dynasty regarded its own people as the target of incognito income. Zhao Yan directly captured the alien race and became slaves.

There is no justice or fairness between countries. On this earth, countries only have the best of the weak. A weak country either depends on a powerful country or is swallowed up by a powerful country.

The United States was very arrogant in later generations. When fighting against this country and that country, many people used this to criticize the United States for being fake and boiled. The idea itself was wrong. Whether it was real or fake, there was no explicit boil between countries, even in the 21st century. Otherwise, what else should I do with national borders? Just touch the national borders and create a community of earth.

In the 21st century, countries are divided into two categories. One is to continuously strengthen their citizens, focus on education, engage in scientific research, and create an environment that allows citizens to realize their potential in order to gain benefits from other countries.

One is to fool the people, not to focus on education, not to do much scientific research, and to exploit the people and the same race as the goal, that is, to rule as the goal, but not to be enterprising. The ultimate fate of such a country is only destruction. With continuous development, both sides will grow stronger and greater, and destruction will only be a matter of time sooner or later.

Zhao Yan traveled to this era, and the world was still in an ignorant era. How could he be worthy of such an opportunity without taking the opportunity to expand? Just as Marx said, there was dirty blood flowing in every pore of capitalists. If you examine yourself from the perspective of Marxism, Zhao Yan did feel that he was quite dirty. He thought about arresting slaves and harming the people of the world all day long... Logically speaking, it should be fine to catch 500,000 and 600,000 young men and women in the Qing Dynasty to be coolies! Zhao Yan was budgeting the number in his heart, and while planning to invest how many slaves he had to be put into railway construction next year.

Not many Liaodong situations are not very good. Liu Heng said in his report that most Han people in Liaodong are short of food.

In this icy and snowy season, it can be seen what kind of day did the Han people in Liaodong live? Under such conditions, the casualties caused by hunger and cold must be more severe.

Currently, among the ships in Shandong, thirty flying scissors have been transferred to the American support colonies. The merchant ships snatched back by the Nanyang team have already gone to Japan to transport Japanese slaves.

The remaining are the original seventy merchant ships. It seems that these merchant ships will continue to transport grain, cotton coats and other supplies to Lushun in the future.

Zhao Yan immediately asked someone to mobilize grain in Longkou. Just a few months after this autumn harvest this year, the food was very sufficient. Although there was not much rice and wheat, there was definitely a lot of dried sweet potato flour, which was piled up in the warehouse.

With a wave of his hand, it was almost the same as eight million stones of powder. After all, the Han people in Liaodong were probably only more than two million at most.

Before the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus were afraid that the Han people would rebel, so they first killed all the rich and the poor. Then they were short of manpower and began to enter the pass and plunder the population.

The Han people were plundered to Liaodong, so they were naturally used as slaves.

The people who are robbed, plus the newly reproductive population, will definitely not exceed three million. Eight million stones of food are enough to make more than two million people survive this winter and next spring.

Of course, such a great victory in Liaodong is a good time to increase fame.

Since Chongzhen took action against him, Zhao Yan naturally would not be foolish and would naturally not return power to him in the future. Therefore, while using force, the propaganda offensive must also cooperate with the action. Making his reputation higher than Chongzhen is the focus of publicity.

"Ming Yuebao" is the trump card in Zhao Yan's current hands.

The price of "Da Ming Dynasty" is very low. You can buy one with just one copper plate, so the sales volume is very large. However, such a price is still profitable for newspapers.

Due to the use of movable type printing and the production of Denglai's papers started very early, it is the best in terms of technology and the lowest cost, so the price is naturally low.

Movable type printing was not common in the Ming Dynasty, because literati in this era bought the kind of woodblock printing when buying books. Because of this, the books printed with movable type were not very good in sales.

Ancient literati like to pay attention to something. The books printed in Denglai were sold at the lowest price in Shandong, which was even lower than the "flood version" books printed in Jianyang and Jian'an. As a result, sales only replaced the part of the printing industry in northern Fujian. Those printed books with exquisite carvings still sold well.

Although movable type printing ranked among the four major inventions in later generations, it was rarely used in application.

However, the "Ming Yuebao" still suffers losses in some provinces. After all, not every province is the same, and it accounts for a large cost in newspaper delivery.

Newspapers actually existed in the Song Dynasty and were more common in developed areas. At the same time, there was also an audit department in the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty can be said to be the most sophisticated feudal dynasty in production management. Many management methods were very advanced, and the prosperity created became a peak that could not be surpassed in previous dynasties. However, the emphasis on culture and over military affairs was too serious and it has become Zhao Yan's negative teaching material. This is the reason why Zhao Yan wanted to build a 200,000 professional army without affecting production.

The newspaper published a few days ago, which included "Catching the Spring Festival in Shenyang" was sold out, and it was sold out once it was published in Shandong. The sales in other provinces have not been returned yet. Some provinces have not yet sent the newspapers, but it seems that they are good.

As Zhao Yan thought, the battlefield report "Fight to Shenyang to celebrate the Spring Festival" caused the sales of the Ming Dynasty to soar on that day, and many people who did not read the newspaper also bought one.

Since the reign of the king, Zhao Yan's reputation has naturally become famous throughout the Ming Dynasty, but the reputation is no longer good. Some people support Zhao Yan, while some people are hostile to Zhao Yan.

Such as the salt merchants in Lianghuai, the cloth merchants in Jiangnan, the Zheng family group, and some loyalists from the Ming Dynasty were very unhappy with Zhao Yan.

After seeing the battlefield report that he fought to Shenyang before the Spring Festival, many people thought that this was the Shandong army bragging, and soon this cowhide would be self-defeating.

Only the people of Shandong do not feel that their soldiers are bragging.

... Soon, the new issue of "Da Ming Dynasty Newspaper" began to report on Liaodong's Dasheng Dabao.

More than 200,000 Qing troops were annihilated, 130,000 were fought in the Hunhe River, and 70,000 more than 2 million Han people were rescued, and more than 2 million Jurchen savages were captured.

At the same time, Zhao Yan also announced in the "Ming Dynasty" that Liaodong will be fully recovered within half a month, and Jianlu has no place to turn over. The disaster of the alien races in the two Song dynasties was roughly eliminated. However, the remnants of Jianlu and the Mongolian tribes will still be the main security threat to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

At the same time, Han people from all over Liaodong who were captured and wanted to return home, the Shandong army would send them back to the pass.

Once this issue of newspapers was published, sales volume soared.

It is a huge thing to destroy Jianlu.

The imperial government army was defeated again and again in Liaodong, which made many Ming patriots heartbroken. Zhao Yan threatened to restore Liao in three years, which was impossible to accomplish in many people.

But it took Zhao Yan only two years to recover Liaodong.

The previous questioning voice suddenly became silent. What happened to Chenyang to celebrate the Spring Festival? After the Shandong army reached Chenyang, it was too late to even the Spring Festival, and directly began to fully recover Liaodong.

Liaodong, this problem that has plagued the Ming Dynasty for nearly fifty years, was finally destroyed.

Zhao Yan used his actions to prove that he never talked loudly. He only took two years to restore Liao in three years, or even strictly speaking, he only took one year.

In the Forbidden City, Chongzhen was in a very complicated mood when he received the news.

He had to admit that in terms of military affairs, no one in the Ming Dynasty could compare with Zhao Yan.

Recently, the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty were taken over by the cabinet, which gave Chongzhen a long-lost ease, and at the same time he had more time to study something.

The most important thing is financial management. Just let Yang Sichang do it in military affairs.

Since Yang Sichang was released by Zhao Yan, he showed a spirit of hard work, hard work and force, which made Chongzhen very pleased that the major events in the court recently were undoubtedly the issue of military fund allocation.

Chongzhen also had military power. In theory, the cabinet and the emperor divided the labor, one held the regime and the other held the military power, but how much military expenditure the cabinet would give was an intriguing question.

With Zhao Yan backing in the cabinet, I was not afraid of Chongzhen at all.

So the cabinet has been very fiercely vying with several eunuch departments in the past two days, and there is no conclusion yet. Chongzhen felt that instead of relying on the cabinet, it would be better to find a way to make more money by himself.

He was able to develop from a poor and deserted country tyrant to this point in a few years, so he could do so. Chongzhen had his blind self-confidence in this regard.

But he was very involved in this area, so he decided to visit Shandong when Zhao Yan got married next year.

...The tenth year of Chongzhen was a troublesome.

However, more stable trends appeared in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. First, Zhao Yan attacked Liao in the beginning of spring, surrounded Huang Taiji in North Korea, and wiped out the Qing army that entered North Korea. Only some of the Qing army ran into the mountainous areas.

Then Zhao Yan fought in the west and captured the King of Rebellion alive, and recruited Liu Guoneng and his wife.

Then it became even more exciting. Zhao Yan suddenly took the banner of clearing the monarch and attacked the capital directly by sea. He took the capital in less than half a month, and then forced Chongzhen to sign the Constitutional Law.

At the end of the year, the Shandong army launched another offensive in Liaodong and recovered Liaodong in one fell swoop.

The Jianlu in the Northeast had been destroyed. The bandits in the Northwest gradually disappeared under the expedition and relief. Most of the bandits including Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and others all comforted Xiong Wencan.

The bandits could no longer survive in the northwest. Since Zhao Yan conquered the northwest, most of the bandits were defeated. At the same time, they also immigrated heavily in Shaanxi and transported grain to provide relief.

When he was unable to starve to death, no one was willing to follow the thief. At the same time, Sun Chuanting mobilized more than 100,000 official troops in Shaanxi. Some of the thieves in Shaanxi fled into Sichuan, and some of them fled into Huguang.

Sichuan had the Second Battalion of the Liaodong Army, and Qin Liangyu's troops. There was almost no difference between entering Sichuan and seeking death, so the bandits from various departments were pacified one by one, Xiong Wencan reported it one by one, and the cabinet was stable and gave it to official positions one by one.

The thieves are still very peaceful at the moment. Of course, it is not because of Xiong Wencan and the official positions of the court, but because they are afraid of Zhao Yan's conquest and Zhao Shaxing's horror. Everyone knows the thieves.

Zhao Yan had expressed his opinion on these thieves in the "Da Ming Dynasty" that if anyone dared to deceive the pacification, he would send heavy troops to wipe out the pacification, which would prevent those thieves from doing anything wrong for a while.

It won’t be long before it will be the eleventh year of Chongzhen.

Zhao Yan believes that by next year, the situation in the Ming Dynasty will be better.
