With such a powerful army beside it, it is impossible to reassure the Khalkha Mongol tribes.

Especially the Chechen Khan tribe, in theory, the Huangxia mercenaries also occupied part of the land they belonged to, which made them feel even more uneasy.

This time, he joined forces with the Jurchens and said that he had agreed to fight against Mao Yuanyi's troops together, but in fact, the Chechen Khan tribe didn't even know who Mao Yuanyi was.

They subconsciously regarded Huang Xia's mercenary as part of the Jizhou army led by Mao Yuanyi.

This is not surprising, after all, the Khalkha Mongol and the Central Plains have not had a direct intersection for a long time.

There is not much intersection between the Qing Dynasty and the Khalkha Mongol. As an envoy, Fan Wencheng sent three tribes to a mission at a time, and it is impossible to explain everything clearly in detail. The information to the Chechen Khan tribe is also limited.

Information difference is a very fatal thing.

By using telegrams, the Ming Dynasty shared information among the generals in Liaodong, and thus made peace with the arrangements of the Qing Dynasty.

What Dorgon thought at the beginning was to take advantage of the limitations of information transmission, and then caught the Ming army off guard.

But he didn't know that his current movements were clearly understood by the Ming army when he first set off. Moreover, the Ming army made arrangements for this.

Mao Yuanyi was very excited when he heard Dorgon leading 280,000 troops to attack the Liaohe defense line.

In a short period of time, he made arrangements to allow the Ming defenders in the Liaohe area to "flee" in sight.

The purpose is very simple, which is to lure the enemy into depth.

His troops were basically in the Daling River area, while the Liaohe area was too wide. If he defended, the front line would be too long.

Moreover, only by allowing the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty to penetrate deep enough can the army on the Liaodong Peninsula be surrounded from the back, and the defenders in western Liaoning can play a certain role.

There are no farmers who cultivate land outside the Daling River area.

Because there had been a plan to advance to Liaodong, and the temperature dropped too much, the harvest in Liaodong was not good, so the court simply evacuated all ordinary people.

Delivered to the western Liaoning region and the Liaodong Peninsula respectively.

In this way, the manpower can be used to maximize the reclaiming of land in both places, and at the same time, the weapon processing plants and shipyards can be quickly established.

Manufacturing ships is not just a "Official Factory" in the shipyard, but a corresponding "component" processing plant is required.

All these require additional staff.

Especially steel.

Before Xiao Sheng arrived, the annual steel output of the Ming Empire was about 130,000 tons, although it was not as good as the 160,000 tonnes in its heyday, but it was still a lot.

After all, the entire European country, including the Russian European part, produced roughly between 140,000 tonnes by the 18th century.

After Xiao Sheng arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he accumulated some funds in the early stage, and then grabbed coal and steel on the other hand.

This caused the steel production of the Ming Empire to soar in less than two years. In just one year of the first year of Chongzhen, more than 740,000 tons of steel were produced.

After entering the second year of Chongzhen, the entire Ming Dynasty entered the period of "great steelmaking".

Firearms, railways, trains, steel warships.

These industries are the top major players that consume steel.

Just a Polu-class iron armored warship requires consuming 1,300 tons of steel!

The ironclad ships consumed a huge amount of steel, which was also the reason why the large number of dome cruisers and armored cruisers were built later.

The main reason is that steel production cannot resist such consumption.

This is even more true for other train tracks, and even now the rails are made of wood.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, as long as you use coal mines and iron mines, you are waiting for the silver to run into your pocket.

Because as long as you produce it, someone will collect it.

The Railway Construction Department and Huangxia Shipyard have endless demands for steel. Although they have quality requirements, there are also manufacturers who specialize in secondary processing that can accept coke and steel refined from small factories for optimization.

Then sell it to a shipyard or railway department, and you can still make a lot of money.

As a result, those small workshops were also used to a great extent.

In the second year of Chongzhen, steam engines were promoted and used, and the Ming Dynasty officially entered the path of industrial transformation.

The industrialization of the British Empire took about a hundred years. Xiao Sheng and Zhu Youjian's idea was to allow the Ming Dynasty to complete the industrial transformation within ten years.

This is not impossible to achieve, on the contrary, the probability of implementation is very high.

After solving the harassment from foreign enemies, and then dig out the gentry, so that the emperor's power can be maximized and it is very easy to concentrate on doing one thing.

The Huangxia Chamber of Commerce leads the national commercial layout and affects the commercial progress of the entire Ming Dynasty.

If the two are combined, the Ming Dynasty machine can easily speed up and run in a specified direction.

Coal and steel are a good example.

This year, also the first half of the second year of Chongzhen, the north completed the innovation of agricultural technology and tools, and high-yield crops were promoted and promoted to central China in the second half of the year, and the agricultural innovation of the entire Ming Dynasty could be completed next year.

This is also the result of high-quality work efficiency under centralization.

There are two options for industrialization. One is a handmade factory with one hundred people. After using the new machine, ninety people were laid off and these ten people were used to run a factory. The other ninety people became unemployed vagrants.

Another is to establish nine new factories, allowing ten factories and one hundred people to provide productivity and produce more than ten times the goods.

Most people's choice will be the first, because the factory owner is a businessman, and the second choice will greatly reduce the market price and even lead to their own losses.

However, industrialization under the centralized control of the Ming Dynasty could adopt the first method.

In this way, prices will still drop, but by dumping outward, the price can be maintained at a level that still has a certain high profit.

Therefore, the people of the Ming Dynasty would not become refugees because of this. Instead, they would gain a higher standard of living due to increased wages and low prices, which greatly improved their sense of happiness.

During this period, the Liaodong Peninsula was cold and the agricultural development was not good, but the mineral resources here were very rich, and the iron ore reserves accounted for one-fifth of the entire Ming Empire!

High-quality coal and iron ore resources have allowed their industrialization to progress rapidly. A large number of factories have risen in a short period of time, and even directly spawned a group of workers in the construction industry.

Now, a batch of steel is shipped from Jinzhou to Tianjin every month as materials for building large ships.

The marine operation industry in Liaodong Bay has been completely opened, and everyone is tactful about the original maritime ban policy.

After all, many officials are also vested interests in this opening-up movement.

The Liaodong Peninsula not only digested the Han people who moved from the Liaohe River and other places, but also still had a large demand for labor.

The industrialization process of the Ming Dynasty continues to accelerate!
