"Well, I have to go to Lushun Port to have a look."

I just stayed in Shengjing City for seven days and just straightened out the messy situation in the Northeast, so Zhu Youxiao couldn't sit still.

In the past few days, Xiao Guizi brought some information about the puppet dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River several times.

But, unlike the bad news in the past, this time it is a good thing.

The civil and military officials of the puppet dynasty of Jiangnan have now seen that they have almost completed the new million-dollar army of the four towns in Jiangnan, and have committed an old problem again.

There is no doubt that everyone now has enough force. Even if the "unrighteous and insolent monarch" of the Northern Expedition, Zhu Youxiao's grand operation will take forever.

But with millions of troops in hand, there is no problem with his own Southern Ming court to preserve the huge area of ​​Jiangnan.

Naturally, a round of open and secret struggles for power and profit began the pseudo-dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River and a crazy stage began.

This is also normal.

These civil and military ministers seized a lot of benefits for the sake of their behind-the-scenes people. This was the usual masterpiece of the Ming Empire before August last year and the current puppet dynasty in Jiangnan.

After all, how much benefit does a newly established pseudo-dynasty in Jiangnan have to do with it?

Those aristocratic families, wealthy merchants and wealthy families, all know clearly in their hearts.

You want these huge benefits, I want them too, and everyone wants them.

If you get more benefits, I will definitely have to be less, so a series of open and secret struggles happened naturally.

In all dynasties in history, people mostly knew that civil and military ministers were arguing endlessly. Most of the swords and swords and shadows were alive and to the death.

These are those huge disputes of interests, and they have been the same since ancient times.

This kind of struggle reached the peak of history before August of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and even the emperor was killed by the civil and military ministers in a row!

Then what?

Then there was the Ming Empire, which perished in just seventeen years.

That's it now. The Ming Empire in the north is getting stronger and stronger, with a larger territory, and the threat must be greater and greater.

However, these civil and military ministers of the pseudo-dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty and wealthy families were already eager to fight.

In addition, the so-called wool comes from sheep, the Southern Ming puppet dynasty’s tax increase, voting, corvee service, etc. were introduced and implemented.

It can be foreseen that the pseudo-dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty will not take long before it will be filled with chaos.

The scene of the Ming Empire eight years ago will undoubtedly be staged in the pseudo-dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

However, this is a great thing for Zhu Youxiao.

I am not afraid of them playing, I am afraid that they will not play.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao has never taken the pseudo-dynasty of the south of the Yangtze River.

For those aristocratic families and wealthy merchants, the situation of unity is absolutely impossible to last.

It has been more than half a year before various internal conflicts have begun to break out, which has exceeded Zhu Youxiao's expectations.

This is also the reason why he does not make rapid expansion in large quantities.

Zhu Youxiao must clean up a place, control it, develop it, and advance slowly to eliminate most of the hidden dangers so that he can feel at ease.

Otherwise, with his strength, he would have been unified across the country long ago, so how could the previous Ming Empire be divided into three?

The main reason is that we do not want a huge empire with many hidden dangers to continue to follow the unchanging path of all dynasties.

The new and vibrant Ming empire you want must completely knock down everything from the past to be reborn.

...

If you want to completely control the Liaohetao area in this huge Northeast, it will definitely not work in a short period of time.

Without it, these two territories are too big.

Broadly speaking, the Great Northeast can extend all the way to the northernmost Arctic Ocean! Let's play

There is no powerful force to occupy this vast area now. You only need to destroy or expel the East and West Siberia areas and the troops that Tsarist Russia came to explore the way.

The current Tsarist Empire has just begun to expand into the Siberian region, and can completely break the black hand they stretched out and control this territory that is not small compared to the Ming Empire.

The same old saying goes, the earth is so big, I occupy a little more, and the others will be less.

The larger the territory, the more resources it will be, and the population and economy will be able to develop in a large scale, and the country will naturally become stronger and stronger.

So, I have to take it slowly, and Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry.

First of all, we must consolidate the existing territory before we can continue to carry out the prairie strategy, occupy all the prairie in the north of the Ming Empire, and eliminate the empire's threat from the north.

Just last night, Lu Jiude, who was responsible for cleaning up the Northeast region, sent back Feiji to deliver a letter.

He said that a scout squadron discovered some blonde and blue-eyed foreigners in the Heilongjiang River Basin. After arresting them, they realized that it was the vanguard of the Tsarist Russian Empire.

They have lived in the East and West Siberia region for many years.

This aroused Zhu Youxiao's vigilance.

So, he wanted to go to Lushun Port today.

If you want to completely expel the black hand of the Tsarist Russian Empire, you must first fully control the coastal areas of the Northeast.

If you want to fully control these places, you must first occupy Sakhalin Island and then fully utilize Vladivostok, a natural unfreezing port.

Vladivostok is also the location of an important military port of the Ming Empire drafted by Zhu Youxiao. At all costs, it must be occupied as soon as possible and build ports, cities and military bases in large quantities.

Do it when you think about it.

So, Zhu Youxiao called to take charge of Shengjing City, and Prime Minister Lu Xiangsheng, who was in the overall situation of the Northeast, explained some things.

Then, he rode the Snow Piercing Horse, took the mutant dog T54, and only brought a dozen followers, and left Shengjing City and ran towards Lushun Port.

"Well, at least the road conditions like the current ones are so comfortable to walk!"

As soon as he left Shengjing City, Zhu Youxiao looked at the super official road in front of him that was extending straight to the south and could not see the end. He nodded with satisfaction and said to himself.

It has been eight days since Huang Taiji and his Later Jin were expelled from the Great Northeast region. The great official road that extended from Liaoyang City has been connected with Shengjing City.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is now heading south from Shengjingcheng, and there are such a flat blue brick avenue that is thirty feet wide, which is really convenient.

Today's Military Logistics Department transports military supplies to Shengjing City and set off from the capital, it doesn't take ten days.

If it were the rugged and uneven paths like the past, the time spent on the road would take about two months, and the amount of materials transported was not large, which was far less convenient than now.

Nowadays, the materials transported in one go are equivalent to the previous ten or eight trips.

After all, the wider and smoother the road is, the stronger the transportation capacity and faster the speed.

I drove the snow-trapping horse Xiaobai and ran all the way. From time to time, there were 10,000 acres of farmhouses on both sides of the Daguan Road, which were very neat and beautiful.

Looking around, there are vibrant beautiful scenery everywhere, making people feel more and more comfortable.

Zhu Youxiao rushed to the road during the day and entered any super farm along the way to rest at night. It took him more than three days to arrive at Lushun Port.

He first went to the built Lushun City to take a look and inspected this super city. When he saw that the scale here was no worse than that in the capital, the layout was even more reasonable.

The entire big city was built only after the planning map given by Zhu Youxiao, and each master craftsman was responsible for improving it.

It took a total of two months for millions of craftsmen from the Royal Construction Team to work together, and Fang Zizai was officially completed on February 15 this year.

This super city that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources will be one of the most dazzling pearls of the Ming Empire's Northeast.

If all the newly built houses, shops, etc. in this big city are filled with people, at least four or five million people can live in, which is comparable to the current Nanjing city.

Moreover, although this Lushun City is not as luxurious as Nanjing City, its layout is more reasonable, the streets are cleaner and wider, and all kinds of buildings are neatly and reasonably arranged.

In the city center and around the world, there is a huge square of 100,000 acres, with gardens, small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers... everything is available, and it is a good place for people to relax at night.

Now, most of the residents in this huge and brand new city of Lushun are workers and families of the Lushun Shipyard, as well as the families of soldiers of the Royal North Sea Fleet.
