Chapter six hundred and seventy-two war will start

The most direct consequence of the migration wave is that Huating land prices change almost every day, even every hour.

The strict control of the land without a barren wasteland by the General's Mansion has led to a situation where Huating land prices have a price but no market.

A month later, when the government launched another 20,000 acres of wasteland, buyers gathered.

The land price suddenly increased to a sky-high price of 250 taels per acre.

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce actually launched first and then arrived, and only grabbed more than 5,000 acres of them. The rest were all snatched by merchants from all over the country.

This situation shocked Xiong Rulin and others, especially Mo Nian, who admired Wu Zheng's technique of turning stones into gold.

This operation of making money for nothing has made Mo Zhongnian no longer have to face financial difficulties for at least one or two years, and also has solid financial support for the under-construction facilities such as military workshops, ports, and military academies.

At the same time, the construction progress of Huating City's roads, houses and public facilities has also been accelerated, which in turn has influenced and promoted the entry of merchants from all over the country.

A virtuous cycle has been formed.

Of course, this is a later story.

....

When Wu Zheng threw out the move to build a new city capital.

The Qing court in the north had already learned of the killing of Duoduo, and the government and the country were shocked.

Prince Yu died in battle at that time, which was an unbearable burden for the Qing court. What was even more unbearable was that Duoduo's head was hung on the top of the city for three days.

This is a shame that has never been seen before, a shame that the entire Qing Dynasty has never been seen since Nurhaci founded the Jin Dynasty.

The entire Qing Dynasty was indignant of "unity against the enemy".

The young emperor Fu issued an order to abolish the armistice treaty between the Qing Dynasty and the Yixing Dynasty, withdraw the mission of the Zheng-Yixing Dynasty negotiations, and appointed Regent Dorgon as the general, and used the entire country's troops to conquer the Yixing Dynasty.

Dorgon then began to recruit troops in the areas of twenty-four prefectures, including Chengde Prefecture, Jinzhou Prefecture, Yongping Prefecture, Changping Prefecture, Tianjin Prefecture, etc.

Yes, recruitment, that's right.

At this time, the Qing court was indeed strong outside and the middle, with the capital, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan, and the adjustable troops were almost exhausted.

However, the recruitment was relatively moderate. The Qing court also considered that the unstable people's hearts were not conducive to rule, so the recruitment area was limited to the north of Jinan Prefecture and east of Taiyuan Prefecture.

While conscripting troops, Dorgon urgently ordered Jiergalang, Jiangbei to return to Jiangdu, and transferred Qing troops from Huainan and Hunan to be under Jiergalang, claiming to be a 100,000 army. However, in fact, the Qing troops from Huainan and Hunan were transferred to Jiangdu, totaling less than 30,000, which means that there are only more than 60,000 people under Jiergalang, among which there are only more than 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners.

But even so, the Qing army's troops were far more powerful than the Yixing Dynasty.

Dorgon ordered Jirgalang to launch an attack on Tianfu and Zhenjiang within five days.

Ten days later, Dorgon will lead a large army southward.

....

The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building.

The abolition of the armistice treaty, the departure of the Qing government's mission, and the war was about to begin. At this time, Yingtian Prefecture was in a panic, and the Yixing Dynasty seemed to be shaking in the wind and rain.

Ronglai Restaurant outside Hongwu Gate has always been a gathering and dispersed place for news in the capital.

At this time, the restaurant was still full of guests and did not become empty because the war was about to come.

However, the topic of the guest chat was concentrated on speculation and speculation about the war.

"Have you heard that? The Jiangbei Tatars have gathered a large army of 100,000, and they will probably attack in just three or two days."

"There is a reward for the first time, and the second time will be slapped... Please ask you, who doesn't know about this?"

"Ah? Then tell me, can our Ming army win this time?"

"Tsk...tsk, it's hard! It would be fine if it were half a year ago. At that time, we had Duke Xingguo and Duke Zhenguo were there. These two Dukes were on the land and the other was on the water. Total, they were 60,000 to 70,000 troops, right? But now, the Duke Xingguo has lost half of his command, and Duke Zhenguo has been reluctant to go north in the south. This battle is... hanging!"

"That's right. You said, a good navy is clearly killing the Tartars, so why did they become rebels? If they could come back, how dare the Tartars cross the river?"

"That's right, my dynasty can enjoy Nandu, but it's just the credit of the two princes, especially the Duke Zhenguo. From Shaoxing Prefecture to Yingtian Prefecture, he fought 70% or 80% of the battles, but he was driven out of the capital by...."

"Shhh... Silence, don't talk nonsense, don't see where this is?"

"What are you afraid of? Let's tell the truth. Can the court still kill me?"

"The words must be said in reverse. The Duke of Zhenguo has made merits, and no one denies it. We all feel like a mirror in our hearts, but he is indeed a bit arrogant. The so-called king and the king of heaven and earth, have you heard of any minister who pulled the king off the throne of Fengtian Hall? Who can tolerate such ministers?"

"I don't agree with this. Now it's a chaotic world. Have you ever seen a dynasty that has been in power for several years? Although there is an emperor in the south, we don't recognize him either, right?"

"This is reasonable, and it depends on the times when talking about etiquette. Anyone with ability will naturally have a bigger temper. Besides, isn't the Duke of Zhenguo also a bright house? They are all family members, so can't we discuss anything carefully?"

"Nonsense, without rules, no order can be achieved. The so-called "Han and thieves are incompatible..."

"You save money. After Erliang Huang Tang, I will talk nonsense. Who is the Han and who is the thief? The Duke of Zhenguo is a thief? Is there a thief who restored the ten palaces for the Ming Dynasty? If there were more thieves, I, the Ming Dynasty, had already driven the Tartars back outside the pass and blew the north wind."

"This is reasonable. Have you heard of it... Duke Zhenguo defeated the invading 40,000 Qing troops in Shaoxing. Not only did he capture the enemy chief Duoduo alive, but he also killed Duoduo's head with one sword and hung it on the top of the city to show the three heavenly people... Hear it all comes to his energy and relieve his anger."

"Come on, look at you. If the Duke of Zhenguo was not reckless, how could the soldiers be in trouble today?"

"Nothing nonsense. If Duke Zhenguo doesn't kill Duoduo, the Tatars will not go south? Yingtianfu will still be restored by Duke Zhenguo and Duke Xingguo. If it weren't for the two Dukes, you and I would still be slaves of the destruction. You have to be a bit conscience, right?"

"Yes, you're right. But the war is coming now. We ordinary people like us still have to think about saving our lives. Do you have any advice?"

"I have a big mistake. You should either wait for death in the city or run south. Anyway, I don't want to be a slave to the country."

"Yes, I'm also planning to go to Hangzhou, at least I can have a few days of peace."

"You are easy to say, how can you escape? My family is in the city, with more than a dozen shops, two or three thousand acres of land outside the city. This is the property that our family has saved for several generations. How can we take it away? If I don't escape, let it go!"
Chapter completed!
