Dominate the Country

In the golden autumn of August, when all the logistics material suppliers in the country were silent, Chen Han's first batch of six princes left Nanjing's Xiaguan Wharf on a sailboat.

These were six little cubs, but as long as they worked hard, Chen Ming might harvest six fierce tigers in a few years.

At the same time, this also announced that the "Logistics Department" low-pressure cold air that lasted for nearly two months had finally passed.

All the food, clothing, bedding, and shoe manufacturers in China were swept by the cold air. Later, this wind even penetrated into the medical field, including Tonghetang, Jiuzhitang, Zonghuangtang, Darentang and other time-honored pharmaceutical manufacturers, which were inspected by the Ministry of Health and the Quality Supervision Bureau for a full half month.

Now this wind has finally blown over.

The whole of China breathed a sigh of relief.

When the cold wind blew into the medical field, the military industry departments were alert one by one. Who could guarantee that this wind would not rush into the military industry system with the support of the emperor's anger?

Fortunately, none of this happened.

At the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing, Li Xiaomei looked at the sailing boat reluctantly, knowing that the tall sails had also sunk under the water in the distance.

This was certainly not because she had a special feeling for any of the six little guys, Chen Yan, Chen Yan, Chen Kuai, Chen Lu, Chen Yan, and Chen Zhe, but because her most precious son was also on the boat.

Chen Ming suddenly changed his mind and changed the "life route" he had set for his sons, asking them to follow the six princes who had settled in North America to North America to feel the "difficulty of founding a country" in advance. This also helped them light up the skill point of "overseeing the overall situation".

Chen Ding left with some reluctance and attachment.

But his father did not treat him badly. When Chen Ding just left Yantai, an official came with an imperial edict.

Chen Ding has devoted himself to the country and made contributions to the country in recent years. The King of Luoyang should be named the King of Yu.

This is the first one-character king among Chen Ding's brothers.

Chen Ming was very generous in giving this kind of honor without money, but it made Chen Ding very moved, and Li Xiaomei was even more satisfied.

In Nanjing, the rumors about the eldest son's "disfavor" disappeared instantly.

Although the title of King of Yu did not have a special meaning in Chinese history, the meaning of this title was extraordinary in the Chen Han Dynasty.

Chen Han started in the west of Henan, close to Luoyang, and Henan has been abbreviated as "Yu" since ancient times. And Henan is the "Central Plains" in the traditional sense of China, all of which make the title of "King of Yu" extraordinary.

The influence of this title is very strong. According to the spies of the National Security Bureau, the Li Group has added five more partners in just half a month.

At this time when the whole country was "in uproar", Chen Ming took the opportunity to launch an action he had been planning for a long time.

That is to completely destroy the Tây Sơn Army and the Nguyễn Nguyễn and swallow up the entire Annan.

As for how to stabilize the Tây Sơn Army and the Nguyễn Nguyễn, Chen Ming gave a policy different from that of Hanoi and Bac Chuan.

The personal land ownership in Hanoi and Bac Chuan was generally not affected much by Chen Han. In Hanoi's big pot meals and collective farms, everyone was allocated land, so these two small groups naturally integrated into the rule of Nanjing.

But the Nguyễn Nguyễn and the Tây Sơn Army were different. The Nguyễn Nguyễn would be more docile to Nanjing than Bac Chuan, because the reforms initiated by the Nguyễn Nguyễn made the exploitation of the ruling class even more excessive, and the so-called "results" of the reforms, in addition to training a new army whose real combat effectiveness was unknown, were the construction of many "state-owned enterprises" with serious corruption. These new factories that were supposed to boost the economy of the Nguyễn Nguyễn had a production cost higher than the price of Chinese goods arriving at the port. It was really more profitable the more they produced, and the quality was also very unstable.

The wages of workers are generally low. For many years, the prices and living costs within the Southern Nguyen regime have risen a lot, but the wages of workers have not increased.

The result is that the lives of workers are becoming more and more difficult.

Therefore, after the National Defense Army flattened the Tây Sơn and entered the Southern Nguyen, there must be many people cheering. But there will also be many people who are determined to be enemies of China. Many natives who fled from Hanoi and Northern Zhengnan before rejected Chen Han's rule from their bodies and minds. Now they are "desperate", and there will definitely be many people appointed, but there will definitely be many people who "would rather die than surrender".

"Grant land?"

Liu Dezhao exclaimed, and five acres per capita, isn't this condition too superior?

"Superior?" Chen Ming glanced at Liu Dezhao, Pang Zhenkun, Wang Huizu and others with a look of surprise, and asked with a slight smile.

"I don't think it's superior. How far is the territory of the Tây Sơn Army and the Nguyễn Nguyễn from Nanyang? Can it be treated as Nanyang? What kind of preferential treatment is this?"

"Besides, there is no tax exemption after the land is granted, and there is no interest-free agricultural loan. Although they don't have to pay back the land." But for many farmers, this tax exemption and interest-free agricultural loan are more valuable than the price of a few acres of land. This is their start-up capital.

"If you really think this policy is good and a big preferential treatment, you can also publicize such a policy in Guangdong and Guangxi. You all open your eyes and see how many people you can lure?"

"I am planning for the eternal peace of Annan." Chen Ming said so.

Liu Dezhao and the cabinet ministers present looked at each other and said nothing. Everyone knows that the poor people in Guangdong and Guangxi have long been immigrated to Southeast Asia. During Chen Cong's tenure as the cabinet's chief minister, Guangdong and Guangxi created the "miracle" of three population censuses with negative growth. At this time, even if the per capita land grant in southern Annan was ten acres, it would not attract many people.

Finally, Liu Dezhao spoke again: "Are all the powerful and wealthy families in the Southern Nguyen and Tây Sơn Army to be eradicated?"

When Hanoi was broken, the remaining backbones of the three heroes of the remnant Qing were all moved away from their control areas and scattered all over the country. Although the wealthy and powerful families in Northern Zheng were not investigated on a large scale, they more or less spit out some wealth.

"Eradication? No need." Chen Ming smiled and waved his hand, "How many people do you think there are in those two places? Even if they all surrender, there is enough land there to settle them. Those who are willing to surrender will all be accepted. No matter how great the public anger is, it was created under the rule of the Southern Nguyen and Tây Sơn Army. What does it have to do with us? If we settle accounts with them immediately, who will trust us?" Chen Ming's opinion is the same as the previous opinion on dealing with Northern Zheng, let them spit out some money and be done with it.

"Leaving them does not mean that they can act recklessly in the future. As long as they commit crimes in the future, they will still be punished according to the law." Chen Ming finds it hard to believe that these people will be honest in the future. Will people who have crossed the border become obedient citizens overnight?

It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change one's nature.

So it is better to look at the long-term.

Although it seems that there is no settlement of corrupt officials, and the powerful and evil gentry are more likely to win the support of the people, it can generally win the support of the upper class, making it easier for Chen Han to establish his rule in the local area. The five mu of land per capita can also appease the lower class, which is like a bribe, so that the latter can not vent their anger, at least not to Chen Han.

When Chen Han rules in the future, the law is fair and the politics is clean, then the people who suffered in the past will only pour out their hatred on the dignitaries and rulers in the past, and will instead have a warm support for the current rule.

Chen Ming thought so.

After understanding the meaning of Emperor Chen, Liu Dezhao and others agreed with his idea.

"The emperor is afraid that he will not want to be more involved."

After Liu Dezhao returned to the cabinet office, he called a few people to discuss. Although the war needs to be dispatched by the Grand Commandery, the cabinet government needs to deal with the situation after the war.

Chen Ming is ready to use troops, and according to the strength of the Tây Sơn Army and the Southern Nguyen, facing the full-scale attack of the National Defense Army, it is afraid that it will be difficult to sustain for half a month.

Therefore, the cabinet must also be prepared immediately. They were caught off guard by the emperor.

After Liu Dezhao calmed down, he thought about it carefully and felt that the emperor still treated the natives of Annan with favor. But he didn't think that the emperor had any good feelings for Annan, but that the emperor didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs.

The French Revolution has taken shape, but its power has not yet fully erupted. Historically, Louis XVI and his wife were beheaded three years after the Revolution.

And now it's only the second year, or just one year. But its influence was first exerted not on neighboring countries such as Britain, Prussia, and the Netherlands, but on Sweden.

Gustav III was already interested in a ceasefire and peace talks with Russia, because his goal had turned to the south. His "benefactors" Louis XVI and his wife were controlled by a group of rebels and lost their God-given rights, which Gustav III could not tolerate.

In order to win more support at home, he even intended to ease relations with the nobles who were suppressed by him at home.

In the past eight or nine months of the sixteenth year of Chengtian, a lot of things happened on the European continent.

In addition to the increasingly fierce French Revolution, there was another war between Sweden and Russia.

Although Gustav III, who came to the front line to command the troops in person, encountered the rebellion launched by Finnish noble officials and the disobedience of Finnish soldiers - most of Finland belonged to Sweden at that time, Russia occupied a small part, and Denmark also declared war on Sweden in support of its ally Russia, but the Swedish-Danish War ended under the mediation of Britain and Prussia.

Gustav finally defeated the Russian Baltic Fleet in the Battle of Svensksund on May 9, 1790 AD, achieving the greatest victory in the history of the Swedish Navy. Russia lost 7,000 soldiers and one-third of the fleet [53 large and small warships] in this battle.

When the ship bringing the latest intelligence from the European Office arrived in Nanjing, the European Office only knew that Sweden and Russia were conducting peace consultations, and the two sides were likely to sign a peace armistice agreement in the second half of the year.

When the Russian army launched a major counterattack and severely damaged the Swedish fleet in the first Battle of Svensksund, Catherine once said that the Swedish king must "prove his remorse", unconditionally pardon all Finnish traitors, and agree to abide by the peace under the guarantee of the parliament, and she would "forgive" him for this "disgusting invasion"; but now it is obvious that Sweden does not need to make such a peace. On the contrary, Russia, which is in an increasingly difficult situation, needs to beg Sweden to end the war as soon as possible.

This news made Chen Ming very angry. This Gustav III is a fool!

It's a pity that he has been treating Sweden well all these years, and now he actually does this at this juncture.

Although the European Office did not know when the armistice agreement between Sweden and Russia would be signed, they were certain that Sweden itself had the idea of ​​signing an armistice agreement. Gustav III, this guy, somehow got the wrong idea in his head, and was even more reckless than John Bull in preparing to organize an anti-French revolutionary alliance.

If this guy were standing in front of Chen Ming now, he would immediately order someone to drag him down and give him a hundred slaps to make him clear his mind.

In addition to the changes in Europe, there were domestic affairs - six princes left Beijing to return to their countries this year.

The population and materials they carried, and the wave of shipping they brought about, would continue until the eighteenth year of Chengtian.

Sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen, cut off the beginning and the end, are two complete years, so that everything can be transported over. This trend will inevitably trigger a new wave of immigration to North America, and at the same time will trigger a new round of shipbuilding peaks in major coastal shipyards.

Finally, there is the war against Russia.

Now the battle lines on both sides are deadlocked on the line from the Ural River to the east side of the Ural Mountains.

Rumyantsev never woke up after he fell that time.

The entire Eastern Front of the Russian Army was defeated, not only in Western Siberia, but also in the Ural River Basin, they were almost collapsed.

In the entire Ural River, they only had two fortresses, Guryev and Orenburg, that could hold on. And before, in order to guard against the Junggar cavalry, the Russian version of the Great Wall, the Orenburg Line of Defense Fortress, which the Russians specially built (the northern border of the Republic of Kazakhstan almost overlaps with it today), stretched over a thousand kilometers. At this moment, it was also killed in and out by the cavalry of the National Defense Army and the Kazakh and Mongolian cavalry, as if they were in an unmanned area.

It can be said that the Russian army only achieved certain victories and advantages in the war against the Ottomans on the southern front, and suffered heavy blows on both the eastern and western fronts. This is a good time for the anti-Russian alliance to seize the final victory by pursuing the victory, Gustav, this big fool.

Chen Ming was so angry when he thought about it.

Now the Ottoman Empire has officially sent a request for help to China, hoping that China can send a force to the west coast of the Caspian Sea to reduce their pressure.

The best location is in the south of Astrakhan and the north of Azerbaijan.

It can be said that after two years of fighting, the Ottoman Empire still fell behind on the battlefield. Russia alone is very powerful, and with Austria, the situation that the Ottoman Empire fell behind was not unexpected by Chen Han.

What was unexpected to Chen Ming was that the Ottomans actually invited the National Defense Force to enter the west coast of the Caspian Sea.

The current Emperor Chen has so many major things to worry about. In comparison, what is the small southern part of Annan?
