    Chapter 523: The war to dominate the world is about to begin (third update)

    Although it cannot be said that there are no good people in the eunuch profession, on the whole, most of them are disgusting bastards.

    And Yang Guo was not so lucky to be assigned a good eunuch.  As soon as this eunuch named Wang Zuo arrived in Xi'an, he blatantly asked for bribes from Yang Guo.

    Back then, Wei Zhongxian¡¯s people wanted to win over Yang Guo, but Yang Guo ignored him. Such a young eunuch actually shit on Yang Guo¡¯s head. How could Yang Guo agree? He directly refused and immediately wrote to the emperor to complain.

    Yang Guo¡¯s move was very timely. If he had submitted the letter later, he might have suffered.  Because at the same time, the eunuch also filed a lawsuit against Yang Guo on the grounds that Yang Guo killed innocent people indiscriminately and embezzled the loot.

    If Emperor Chongzhen hadn¡¯t seen Yang Guo¡¯s memorial first, he would probably have Yang Guo tied up in a rage.

    With the foreshadowing of Yang Guo's memorial, Chongzhen had some doubts in his heart, so he did not listen to the eunuch's words, but sent Fu Fanxing to investigate thoroughly.

    The final result is self-evident. Yang Guo has never killed innocent people indiscriminately, let alone pocketed the loot.  All the people he killed were peasant soldiers fighting against the official army on the battlefield, and all the spoils of war captured were registered. Except for part of the food used as military rations, all the property was reported to the court in small quantities.  .

    Even so, Chongzhen only killed the eunuch, but still sent another eunuch to serve as a supervisor in Yang Guo's army.

    This kind of lack of trust in the generals under his command made many officers feel like they had eaten flies.

    But no matter what, Yang Guo basically completed the task of quelling the Northwest Rebellion.  By November, except for the peasant army in Hanzhong, all other places in Shaanxi had completely settled down.  Just when Yang Guo wanted to launch a large-scale attack on Hanzhong and completely annihilate the peasant army, Huang Taiji made another move, forcing Yang Guo to temporarily stop his actions.

    Huang Taiji really tasted the sweetness during the second raid. The countless grains made them have a very prosperous year.

    But the Mongols themselves are not engaged in farming, and the Jurchens have no productive activities.  The severe cold during the Little Ice Age brought huge disasters to the Mongolian grasslands.

    After a snowstorm, countless livestock froze to death across the grassland, which forced Huang Taiji to think of going south to plunder again.

    But when he once again led his army to plunder from Jibei Pass, he encountered unimaginable resistance.  The army here is the 8,000 defenders left behind by Yang Guo.

    These troops were all soldiers led by Yang Guo. In order to prevent Huang Taiji from being caught off guard when he raided again, Yang Guo specially arranged them in several important locations.

    When Huang Taiji's army arrived at Jibeikou, they originally thought they would break through smoothly and enter the Central Plains like the previous two times. However, they thought they would be blocked at Jibeikou for three full days.

    Three days later, Yang Guo led an army of 100,000 troops to station in Jibeikou, completely ruining Huang Taiji's third raid.  But before the Ming Dynasty could breathe a sigh of relief, the Chinese Empire, which had been silent for more than two years, made another move that made the entire Ming Dynasty uneasy.

    In the past two years, the Chinese Empire, which had been held back by continuous resistance from the Korean, Annan and Nanyang regions, finally liberated nearly 200,000 Liaodong troops by removing half of the people in the Korean region.  out.  Coupled with the fact that the three southeastern provinces have completely become mature areas, the opportunity for the Chinese Empire to send troops again has arrived.

    The war of expansion has brought unimaginable benefits to all walks of life in the Chinese Empire. Whether they are big businessmen, factory owners, or ordinary people, they have gained huge economic benefits due to the expansion of the territory of the Chinese Empire and the increase in population.

    ¡° More than 10 million people may become a huge burden for those agricultural countries or those countries that lack land resources.  But for the Chinese Empire, which had no shortage of land but no shortage of manpower, it undoubtedly injected huge impetus.

    After two and a half years of development, the Chinese Empire once again expanded its land area to millions of square kilometers in the Nanyang region, occupying many resource-rich lands.

    At present, there are only a large number of northwestern regions in the northwestern region of Sumen Nuna. In addition to the indigenous countries that have not accepted the rule of the Chinese Empire, the entire Nanyang has extremely sporadic indigenous people in the deep mountains and old forests.

    This is the power of population, and this is what Xiao Mingqian has achieved through his unremitting efforts to migrate nearly 20 million people to various parts of Southeast Asia for more than ten years.

    With such a large population, even those original Koreans and Annamites? They have also completely integrated into the Chinese Empire and become a part of the Chinese Empire, because in the Nanyang region, they are all outsiders. If they do not accept the rule of the Chinese Empire and integrate themselves into the Chinese civilization, they will not be able to survive even a day.  Can't survive.

    Driven by these benefits, the total annual wealth of the Chinese Empire has reached 7 billion, nearly three times that of five years ago.  So much so that people throughout the Chinese Empire, even those old people who were idle at home, began to discuss when the Chinese Empire would send troops to Ming Dynasty and how long it would take to completely occupy Ming Dynasty.

    Public opinion is like this, and public opinion is even more boiling. The will of all strata of the empire is reflected in it.  The industrial and commercial class hopes to have a larger market. The market potential that has emerged in the three southeastern provinces has made all capital full of expectations for Ming Dynasty.  And many ordinary people, with the idea of ??returning to their hometown, want the Chinese Empire to quickly occupy the world.

    At this time, the gradually stabilizing situation in various places also allowed the Chinese Empire to deploy more troops to the upcoming large-scale war.

    In the subsequent military operations against the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Mingqian did not want to pause anymore. He wanted to destroy the Ming Dynasty in one go, and then devote his energy to the layout of the entire world.

    To this end, he officially established a steel plant in Liaodong with an output of 800,000 tons, two military factories, two clothing factories, and countless other supporting factories with the military as the main market.

    Although these factories are different from the free development factories in Taiwan and have the ability to flexibly arrange production according to the market, as supporting factories for the military, their advantage is that they are more targeted.

    At the same time, at the beginning of the year, when fiscal revenue last year reached more than 240 million, Xiao Mingqian ordered a large-scale hoarding of military supplies to Liaodong and the three southeastern provinces.

    By the end of the year, enough supplies were being stockpiled for the millions of troops of the Chinese Empire to fight in five intense battlefields.
