Chapter 401 confrontation
The Ming Dynasty official media has always maintained this propaganda caliber:
That is, the current Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao is the most difficult emperor in ancient times to love the people!
Your Majesty now would rather let down his ancestors than to the people. The reason was that he rejected the memorial of Wen Tiren, the Minister of Rites, to repair the Taimiao and agreed to the tax exemption proposals for Zhending and Hejian Prefectures in the arid areas.
In addition, Your Majesty would rather suffer a little than suffer the people of the world.
The example is naturally to advise himself to renovate the Ganqing Temple, and Li Jiantai, the chief minister of Guanglu Temple in Kunning Palaces, was directly imprisoned.
Moreover, he also invested in allowing folk storytellers to go to the countryside to promote it, and even compared it with the current chief assistant Qian Qianyi. Speaking of the current chief assistant Qian Qianyi, he had thirty-six dishes for each meal, and every ten famous dishes in the world will definitely be one of the top ten famous dishes in the world. His Majesty's daily meals are only five dishes and one soup, and he only doubles the important festivals that require banquets on his birthday.
The people are not sensitive to numbers, but they are the most understandable comparisons of eating, drinking, defecation and urination.
Suddenly, although Qian Qianyi took the blame, he once again became a typical example of the people scolding the world for not having a good job in officials. As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao was once again elevated.
Countless people began to choose to believe that the current Ming emperor is indeed a good emperor who loves the people as much as his son.
Today, His Majesty was discovered by a vendor selling steamed buns in a private visit today. He pretended to be a commoner and helped the old lady cross the road. He was discovered by the soldiers patrolling the city. Then, such news appeared one by one in the newspaper or in the mouth of the scholar.
In short, Zhu Youxiao's show and deliberate publicity made all the gentry who controlled the public opinion guide have to sigh that they can no longer control the voice of the people representing the lower class.
In the late Ming society in the past, the decisions above would definitely be opposed below, but now, as long as the orders of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty were clearly published in newspapers, the people in the world would not listen and do not think this is good.
The officials and scholars could only follow suit and chew on the wise decisions of Your Majesty today, otherwise they would be called unfaithful by the people of the world.
Even in Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili, there was an incident in which a juren said that his majesty is a little famous and was directly beaten to death by a waiter in the hotel because he was drunk and said that his majesty is a little famous. In the end, the waiter was innocent because most people thought that the waiter was right after they knew about it, because the juren had read the book of a sage for nothing and dared to slander the current saint.
It can be said that under deliberate publicity and guidance, Zhu Youxiao gradually became deified, and the people at the bottom had completely worshipped Zhu Youxiao.
And the landlord class and the emerging urban class have not yet been seriously exploited by the emperor Zhu Youxiao, not to mention that Zhu Youxiao's several paintings that were beneficial to their interests also made them able to endure it now and did not completely lose confidence in the court due to the deepening of natural disasters.
In this way, in the Ming Dynasty, even if the climate of small glaciers continued to aggravate, the drought became more and more serious and expanded, and the frequency and scale of the court's foreign wars became increasingly greater, the survival pressure of the people did not increase, and the people's hearts were not lost, but were further strengthened, and the internal stability would continue to be stable.
The southeast coastal trade began to proceed smoothly and the domestic situation became stable. Zhu Youxiao was able to completely free up his hands to deal with changes in the military situation in the north.
Jiannu and Lin Danhan, who were too big to lose, were still eyeing him outside the pass, and the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom was still aggressive in occupying the territory in the Ming Dynasty North Asia.
But the most important thing now is the latter. Once the vast territory in Miaojie and Linglongshanwei in Waixingan were occupied by the Cossack cavalry, the Ming Dynasty would not only lose 500,000 square kilometers of territory, but would even directly lead to the unity of the Rakshasa Kingdom and Jiannu, which would pose a greater threat to its Ming Dynasty north.
Even worse, with one Lin Danhan, the Ming Dynasty would have to deal with three enemies at the same time.
Therefore, the line between Miao Street and Longshanwei cannot be lost!
To this end, as soon as the war to wipe out Zheng Zhilong's pirates ended, Zhu Youxiao immediately asked the Ministry of War to transfer the southern imperial guards back to the north one after another, and even most of them were transported directly to the north through the North Sea Fleet.
A series of materials also moved outside the pass.
Seeing this, Jiannu and Mongolian Lin Danhan had to strengthen their vigilance, and gradually gave up the idea of taking advantage of the war in the south to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble behind the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, they did not expect that the war in the south of the Ming Dynasty would end so quickly, and that the Ming Imperial Guards would be transferred back to the north so quickly.
This is naturally related to the fact that the Minister of Works, Huo Weihua, had already started large-scale construction of traffic roads before. Zhu Youxiao was willing to spend a lot of money on it, so he naturally had this consideration. That is, the construction of the road was not only to give the people a job, but to be more conducive to the dispatch of the army during the war.
From Nanjing to Beijing, as well as canal and sea transportation, three transportation channels can reduce the transportation time of the army that originally took several months at the same time.
This gave Mao Wenlong, Zhu Zhengguo and others who were guarding Miaojie and Longshanwei a little more time to arrive as soon as possible.
At this time, the weather was still extremely cold in Miaojie and Longshanwei. The cold wind blew directly into the backbone of the people. The Cossack cavalry tried to attack the city several times, but the rogue effect was not good. The Miaojie City and Longshan Acropolis were wrapped in a layer of cold ice became more and more indestructible.
Somewhat similar to the Yakshasa occupation that occurred during the Kangxi period in history, the situation formed by the army of the Ming Empire and the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom at this time was that the attacking side surrounded the defending side, and it was also a stalemate.
However, unlike the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom that was unable to defend Yaxa because the Qing army was afraid of the benefits of its firearms, at this time the Ming army was the army of the Ming Dynasty, while the army of the Rakshasa Kingdom was besieged by the city.
Moreover, on the contrary, the Rakshasa Kingdom was afraid of the power of the Ming army's artillery. Even in such a cold weather, there was no major gun failure due to thermal expansion and contraction. Even the explosion power and range were much further than the traditional front-mounted smoothbore artillery of the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Not only artillery, but also muskets. The Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom now had to camp several miles away in Miaojie City and Longshan Acropolis because they found that there was a musket in the Ming army with a very long range that would always snipe them.
However, although the confrontation occurred because the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa Kingdom was backward in weapons and equipment, the result was the same as that of the Jaxas, that is, the defending side began to lose control after a long time.
