Chapter 195: New Year (1)
The Zhao Song court, who had no soldiers to use, temporarily stopped the conquest of Luo Chu, and instead focused its strength to target the regimes of Liu Shu and Lin Min.
You have to pick the soft persimmons.
This is of course a good thing for Luo Yongsheng. He has been carrying the main firepower of the court for more than a year and can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The reason why the world is disrupted is not to wait for this day.
As long as he could survive the early Zhao Song conquest, the court would inevitably shift the focus of the conquest from him.
Yizhou Road, Jinghu South Road and Liangzhe Road, Guangdong and Guangxi are also important places that the imperial court cannot give up. At present, the south of the Yangtze River has almost completely rebelled. The territory of the imperial court has been compressed to the point where only Jiangsu and Anhui are left, and they are still facing the risk of fighting with Luo Chu and Lin and Min, and their finances and taxation are in danger.
If the court still chose to fight Luo Yongsheng in Nanchang under such circumstances, then Luo Yongsheng could advance eastward and directly take Shengzhou, completely destroying Zhao Song's blood-sucking blood vessels in Jiangnan, and starving tens of thousands of princes and nobles in Tokyo to death.
"Now the court does not attack us, even Kou Wei has retired. His destiny is in the same place, not in Zhao."
When the cold air outside the border blew to the south of the Yangtze River and fell from the sky with auspicious snow, Luo Yongsheng was in a great mood. He feasted his ministers in Nanchang: "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest, and next year will definitely be the smoothest year in my Great Chu.
After the harvest next summer, our Great Chu will be able to have a full meal comfortably, then polish the swords and guns, advance eastward to Xuan and Hui, and take Shengzhou to the south of the Yangtze River. At that time, we can compete with Zhao Song and divide the world into two parts.
Within three years, the other will grow and fall. Zhao Song, who lost half of the south of the Yangtze River, completely declined. By then, our royal army will raise the flag of righteousness to fight north, and the princes will be able to chat, laugh, and dance with the lonely city in Tokyo."
The ministers raised their glasses and smiled.
"Congratulations to the king!"
The successive congratulations made Luo Yongsheng feel more happy, and he was radiant and laughed happily.
Since he came to this time and space, this is the first time that Luo Yongsheng has been so confident about the future. Although he still only has Jiangxi Province, he has truly smelled the smell of victory.
The Zhao Song court was no longer the Zhao Song before the uprising, but Luo Chu was more than dozens of times stronger than before the uprising.
Luo Chu now has five full guards and thousands of large-scale armies seized from the Tianwu Army. This is a good gun that can be held and used.
In terms of internal affairs, although the imperial court has experienced inhumane massacres, the population under Luo Chu's rule has increased instead of decreasing compared to before the war.
One is because Luo Chu had an additional Shangrao Mansion, which was Xinzhou during the Zhao and Song dynasties. It was not poisoned and 300,000 dingkou were preserved. The other is that since Luo Chu restored the royal industry, a large number of people who fled from southwest Jiangxi and northwest Jiangxi, as well as people from other areas of Jinghu South Road and Jiangnan Road have moved here one after another.
There were battlefields everywhere in Jiangnan, and people from all over the country moved to Jiangxi with their families.
Who made Da Chu’s policies good and Luo Yongsheng’s reputation good?
Therefore, after half a year of recovery and retraction of refugees, the number of Ding Guards has increased to nearly two million, and there are still thousands of flowing in every day, making Chu Ji very busy.
Although he was busy, Chu Ji was very happy. Who made these two million people a young man and a woman in her prime?
The elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled are not much left.
Although it seems a bit cold and ruthless to say this, it is a chaotic world now. It is of course a good thing for young people to be stronger than old people to be sick and disabled, because such a population structure contains more potential for war and can burst out more enthusiasm for war.
These two million people under Luo Chu were all looking forward to waiting for Luo Chu's royal army to overthrow Zhao Song. The people's will be willing to do so.
According to Chu Ji and the Government Affairs Pavilion, Jiangxi will probably be able to recover to its pre-war production level in one year at most. Although it has suffered great commercial trauma and it is difficult to recover for a while, the two industries that can be quickly started as long as they are sufficiently mandated will almost recover.
Once you breathe, with Luo Chu's tax policy and equalization of land and labor policy, the subsequent development speed will definitely be far more than several times before the war. You have the strength and confidence to support the 50,000 troops to set foot on the battlefield again.
"The pseudo-Song is still powerful, but it is like the sun after dusk, about to sink into darkness and be buried behind the West Mountain. Although our great Chu is still weak and has a long industry to be developed, it is the dawning sun with a vigorous spirit, and it is bound to move to the sky and shine the glory of the king all over the world."
Zhou Zheng stood up with a glass of wine and bowed to Luo Yongsheng: "I wish you a great king, you will never have a chance!"
The ministers secretly scolded Zhou Zheng as a flatterer, but they did not forget to stand up to congratulate Luo Yongsheng.
"I wish you all the best to pray to the king, and you will never have a chance."
"Hahahaha, everyone is so polite, sit down quickly." Luo Yongsheng laughed and drank all the wine in his glass, stretched out his hands to press the ministers back to his seat.
"But Zhou Qing's words about the dawn of the sun touched the heart. Chaoyang is not alone, but should be the students and athletes of our Great Chu in the future. Speaking of this, we are a student of the government, we should be a military student."
"I'm here."
"How has the editorial progressed in "Chu Dian"? You are one of the presidents. Let's talk about it briefly."
Seeing Luo Yongsheng mentioning "Chu Dian", the group knew in their hearts that the relaxed and pleasant stage of today's banquet was considered to be the past, and the rest of the time inevitably talked about business again.
I'm afraid I don't like singing and dancing performances.
However, although everywhere is thriving, they are still dancing on the blade. Although the pressure is small, it is only to the point where you can take a breath and you can't completely relax.
"Reply to the King's Talk, the compilation of "Chu Dian" is coming to an end. According to the core of the seven-point question proposed by the King, I, Geng Ge Lao and Yan General Zheng, referring to "The Book of Documents", "Shangshu", the three volumes of Spring and Autumn, the seven volumes of the Xiaoyi Sutra, and the thirteen volumes of the Annotation of the Two Saints of Confucius and Mencius, have drawn up more than 670 questions of various lecture notes.
At present, only the legal and criminal punishment aspect is left because it is mainly used in the "Song Laws" and in the future, I will definitely have my own laws, so I didn't write too many titles."
Hearing that more than 670 questions had been drawn up, Luo Yongsheng became even happier and asked hurriedly: "Have you ever asked Bi Sheng to make a herb first?"
"I have prepared ten copies, but I have forgotten to bring them when I came."
Luo Yongsheng was just planning to take the fortune, but suddenly he found that the whole hall was quiet, only himself and Wei Bingkun kept asking questions and answering questions, and couldn't help but smile.
"Let me send someone to pick it up tomorrow. Today I drink and celebrate the New Year. I shouldn't say anything and business have disturbed you all the rare leisure time for a year. Let's have a great time today."
Everyone was overjoyed, mainly because Zhou Bai was a group of military generals.
