A great victory in Guizhou!

When Zhu Youlang saw this report, he was very excited!

He could have thought that Li Dingguo had the ability to win Guizhou, but he did not expect that he would win it at such a small price in such a short time!

This is definitely good news for the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Northern Expedition is imminent, and Zhu Youlang always feels uneasy as he is a traitor, Wu Sangui, is waiting for an opportunity to move in the southwest.

This feeling is hard to describe. How can I say it, it is like being missed by a thief.

Wu Sangui can only retreat to Yunnan now.

And Yunnan is stuck in Sichuan and Guizhou, and it is impossible to defend it.

In the good news, Li Dingguo asked the emperor to allow him to pursue Wu Sangui, but Zhu Youlang certainly would not refuse after seeing it.

Even if Li Dingguo did not take the initiative to ask for an order, Zhu Youlang would issue an order to pursue him.

If the battle has reached this point, how can there be no reason to pursue the victory?

Chasing or not chasing is actually only a matter of one thought, but the difference brought about is huge.

After taking Yunnan, the entire south was in the hands of the Ming army. Zhu Youlang could go north to attack the Qing army without any scruples, and all he had to consider was fighting with the Qing army. This feeling was simply too good.

In three years, Zhu Youlang recovered half of the country in less than three years. Such achievements are not much better than those of Liu Xiu, the Han Guangwu, right?

Of course, Zhu Youlang was not proud and complacent.

Now the Ming Dynasty has only regained half of the country. Zhu Youlang can only take a good rest when he regained the world.

In addition, the prince's condition has improved steadily, and Zhu Youlang is in a good mood, so he decided to pardon the world.

Of course, only misdemeanors are forgiven, and felonious criminals still need to be imprisoned.

Zhu Youlang just wanted to express his opinion and prove that the Ming Dynasty was developing in an increasingly better and better direction.

What Zhu Youlang is waiting for now is the news that Li Dingguo recaptured Yunnan.

As long as Li Dingguo recovered Yunnan, Zhu Youlang could immediately order the Northern Expedition.

The Ming army had been preparing for the Northern Expedition for more than half a year, and had prepared well from top to bottom.

The Northern Expedition was of course an arduous and outstanding battle, but Zhu Youlang had full confidence, because the king and his ministers worked together, how could it be invincible?

Of course, the court still needs to be purged.

After a thorough investigation by the Jinyiwei, the palace maid who spread the news that the prince was infected with tuberculosis had been arrested. After interrogation, the envoy behind the scenes was revealed.

Zhu Youlang will naturally deal with this severely. The prince is the foundation of the country and endangers the foundation of the country and no one can forgive him.

Apart from these troubles, there is another thing that makes Zhu Youlang feel very pleased.

The craftsman of the Folang machine from the Fu Realm and the craftsman of the Ming Dynasty made a cannon together, and took out the advantages of Prussian cannons, red-clothed cannons, and the most important thing is that the production period is very short and a large number can be made in a short time.

This cannon is very light in weight and is very suitable for marching.

There were many mountain roads during the Northern Expedition, and it would definitely be inconvenient to carry heavy artillery. This kind of light artillery can maximize its advantages.

In addition, the production of flintlock rifles has also made progress.

In the past, due to the gun barrel forging technology, flintlock can only make more than a thousand poles a year. However, after solving this problem, all problems are solved. According to the preliminary estimate of the craftsman, at least ten thousand poles can be made a year.

This is a conservative estimate, and there may even be surprises.

Putting aside these things, even the Ming army's current strength was no problem with the Northern Expedition.

In addition, these are like a tiger with wings, which can further enhance the advantages of the Ming army.

According to the report just sent back by the Jinyiwei, the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north also meant to attack the Qing Dynasty.

If the Rakshasa Kingdom and North Korea attacked at the same time, the Qing Dynasty would be greatly restrained in the north.

In this way, Zhu Youlang's troops will be divided into three or four northern expeditions, and the possibility of success will be very high.

The only thing the court needs to do now is to carry out public opinion propaganda on a large scale.

Because many people do not know that the royal army is about to fight in the north, their support for the imperial court is limited.

In Zhu Youlang's view, the support of the people was very important for the Northern Expedition.

This is not only reflected in recruiting troops, but also in all aspects such as food and intelligence.

After a period of hard work, Zhu Youlang reversed the people's inherent impression of the Ming Dynasty.

With the support of the people, the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition would be like a tiger.

The role of the Huangming Times is reflected at this time.

Although the literacy rate in this era is very low, there are always a few scholars on the street. As long as these scholars talk about it, the people on the street will know it.

Then there is Yigefang City and a city.

The people in the north also need to know this news. Although these people are in the enemy-occupied area, there are still some righteous men who are determined to be the Ming Dynasty.

As long as these righteous men can provide some support to the Ming army, the Ming army will more easily seize some important cities and reduce many unnecessary damage.

In Zhu Youlang's view, at this point, the Northern Expedition can be basically successful, and it is nothing more than how much price it costs.

After all, what is flowing is the blood of the Han family. It is better to flow less than it can.

After experiencing these melees, Zhu Youlang became more and more aware that a unified dynasty and a stable dynasty were very important.

Because of the troubled times, the people are still suffering.

What made Zhu Youlang feel relieved was that at least so far, all forces have been united and there is no sign of internal friction.

He hopes that this state can be maintained so that the chaotic situation can be resolved as soon as possible.

In addition to the originally planned land march, Zheng Chenggong and Yu Qi also captured some islands near Denglai.

Although these islands are not large in size, they can serve as temporary supply stations and destinations.

Using these islands as springboards can make it easier to win Denglai.

Yu Qi played an important role in this process.

He knew very well about the terrain near Denlai and proposed some practical solutions.

If Shandong can be attacked by land and water, the possibility of taking Shandong will increase greatly.

Among several offensive routes, Zhu Youlang has always regarded the Shandong direction as the top priority, because Shandong is too close to Jingji.

Taking Shandong can immediately deter Jingjin.

Moreover, Shandong and Liaodong are only separated by a sea.

If you can come out of the pass and block the Qing army's retreat, you can close the door and fight the dog.

Zhu Youlang really didn't want to let the tiger go back to the mountain, because this would consume more financial and material resources and sacrifice more soldiers.

The ideal situation is to annihilate the Qing army in the pass, so that the world will be completed, the mountains and rivers will be settled, and the world will be restored.

Zhu Youlang is now feeling more and more responsible. He has to spend as little time as possible to complete the Northern Expedition, and then devote more energy to managing and restoring people's livelihood.
