    Although the Liaodong war is still going on, the recapture of Jinzhou means that the outcome is basically certain, it is just a matter of the size of the victory.  ¡Í With the first harvest of grain in the Mekong and River provinces, the money and food situation has further eased, and the court has the capital to support the continuation of the war.  It is an indisputable fact that national strength can still flourish even if the war continues.  The peaceful environment, low and medium taxes, and policies that benefit the people have made the settled people burst out with great enthusiasm for production.  This is not only contributing to the country, but also improving one's own life.  The economy in the South has recovered the fastest. To be precise, revitalization seems to be more accurate.  Due to the stimulation of the war, the needs of the people's livelihood, and the early recovery, the people became increasingly wealthy, and the related factories and workshops got a good opportunity to develop, and their output increased step by step.  The opening of border markets has undoubtedly provided huge sales for many products.  As for the north, it can only be described as recovering.  But the good news is that the area of ??cultivated land has increased significantly. Drought-resistant and high-yielding crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes have been promoted under the government's orders. According to the estimated output, although it will not reach self-sufficiency in food after the autumn harvest, the amount of government subsidies  But it can drop significantly.  Of course, there are also places in Northland where the economy is recovering first, namely the villages, towns and cities along the main transportation lines.  A large number of caravans carried goods to the border for trade, and the needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation stimulated economic development along the way.  Inns, restaurants, and entertainment venues have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Even forward-thinking factory owners have built factories directly in the north to sell goods nearby.  The postponement and reduction of the poll tax, as well as the guidance and encouragement of the government, have released the shackles of the people's migration. It has been a habit throughout history to move from places with a large number of people to places with a vast territory and sparsely populated areas.  It is also the contradiction between supply and demand and economic laws that play a role.  The local chief executives of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Hunan, and Hubei have submitted memorials respectively, hoping that the court will not resettle agricultural populations in these provinces.  Although the situation of land tension has only just begun to take shape, Zhu Yongxing is pleased that these local governors can see so far.  From another perspective, this is undoubtedly related to the poll tax.  Just because there are more people does not mean more taxes.  The local chief executive must consider the stability of the local area and the concerns and concerns of local people about the foreign population competing for land.  A peaceful environment, the gradual abolition of the poll tax, abundant land, and economic development, what¡¯s next?  Of course, Zhu Yongxing knew very well that a massive increase in population could be expected.  Is a large population an advantage or a disadvantage?  No matter what happens in the future, for now it's a good thing.  and.  With the current level of science and technology, there are no corresponding measures to limit the population.  This requires the government to have a foresighted vision to solve the problems faced by land, productivity, resources, etc. due to population growth.  This problem seems far away, but if you want to calculate it, based on the current age of marriage and childbirth, based on one generation every 20 years, at least two generations will be born in Zhu Yongxing's lifetime.  Because of Zhu Yongxing¡¯s existence, the land of China was free from the ¡°San Francisco Rebellion¡± and other population-reducing catastrophes in history.  The population growth is geometric again, decades later.  There is no doubt that the population exceeds 100 million.  And from 100 million to 400 million, it only took less than a hundred years in history.  By developing colonies, promoting the industrial and technological revolution, and carrying out foreign trade, Britain solved the problem of population expansion in the British island country and safely bypassed the "Malthusian Trap."  Zhu Yongxing has successful experience to draw on and is confident that the Ming Empire will rise and stand on top of the world.  A large population will not be a burden to him, but a driving force for expansion.  The need to compete for living space.  Therefore, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty shrunk to Liaodong and became a local separatist force with no chance of turning over, Zhu Yongxing had already focused on the future.  A strategic layout began.  The Guangzhou Military Region was established to deter Taiwan's Zheng Jing and prepare for the conquest of Luzon; the Kunming Military Region was established, with its apparent target seemingly being Burma, but its longer-term plan was to advance westward and open a road to India via Myitkyina; the Northwest Military Region was renamed  For the Lanzhou Military Region, it continued to collect grain and train troops, to peer into Qinghai-Tibet in the west, and to reach the Eastern Han Dynasty in the north; the Hemei Military Region was established, to continue to encroach on Chenla, and directly assist the Ming Dynasty business group in infiltrating Borneo.  Standing tall in the smoke of war, the Ming Empire is radiating more and more energy and influence to its surrounding areas, and will use war as its main means to rise to the top of the world's powerful powers.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. In the Qianshan area southeast of Anshan, no one would have thought before that the Battle of Dingliao would start in this small place.  Smoke filled the air, the sound of killing shook the sky, and all kinds of sounds were like the sky falling apart. The armies of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were engaged in a desperate battle here.  Three thousand dragon cavalrymen of the Dangshuo Army rushed for nearly a hundred miles, and finally blocked the road leading to Anshan before the Qing Army in Shenyang.??.  Facing the crazy attack of the Qing army, these three thousand dragoons fought to the death, suffering more than three-quarters of their casualties, and persisted until they received light infantry reinforcements.  The Shenyang Qing army was immediately defeated and retreated to Anshan, while the Ming army seized the time to dig trenches and repair fortifications on the spot, blocking the Gaizhou Qing army's northward escape.  The battle to block and break through soon began. The leading troops of the Qing army in Gaizhou were frustrated and returned, while Burtai personally led the army to fight again.  Despair turned into courage, and the Qing army's attack was crazy and violent.  The Ming army did not show weakness. They relied on their superiority in firearms, trenches and fortifications to fight bloody battles with the Qing army that broke out of the encirclement.  There were more than 10,000 Ming troops, against 30,000 to 40,000 Qing troops. If the Ming army had not had sharp weapons, and if the battlefield had not been small and the troops could not be deployed, it would not have been easy to judge the outcome of this battle to block and break through.  But one day and one night was enough. The main force of the Dangshuo Army continued to arrive. Seeing that the situation was not good, the defeated Qing army in Anshan fled without a fight. The pursuit troops from the Northeast Military Region also pressed forward and met the rearguard of the breaking Qing army.  War, the outcome of the war is finally determined.  "Kill, kill it!" Melezhang Jingshuoha roared desperately, knowing that it was impossible, but still maintaining a trace of luck.  There are too many Ming troops on the opposite side. Behind the blocking position where corpses are lying, a strict infantry square is being formed, and artillery is being laid out one after another.  So what if we kill him?  These trenches have swallowed up the lives of too many Manchus, and the firing of muskets has also ended the journey of too many Manchu warriors.  Opposite is an iron wall composed of artillery and muskets. You don't need to think about what the result will be if you rush over.  Unconsciously, Shuoha had tears streaming down his face, his vision was blurry, and the Ming army position opposite was flashing with fire, and the shelling began.  Zhuo Butai's face was grim. The Ming army's counterattack was very fierce. The Qing army, which had been fighting for a long time, was very tired and could not resist the Ming army's formation advancing in the fireworks.  The gunfire was fired one after another, and the roar of the Fran cannon was heard one after another.  The faces of the surrounding generals were full of panic, and the entire army was about to collapse.  The roar of the artillery sounded again. Although it was not so deafening, it made the Qing soldiers feel chilled from top to bottom, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.  It came from the direction of the rearguard, and the pursuing Ming army seemed to be getting closer and closer.  No, it's not getting closer, but the rearguard has been defeated, and the Ming army is already close at hand.  In front, the three square formations of the Ming army sometimes advanced and sometimes stopped, firing shotguns and volleys, knocking the Qing soldiers over in front of the formation.  Behind them were the Qing soldiers fleeing from the rear guard, and the shouts of the Ming army seemed to be audible.  "Go east!" Zhuo Butai suddenly raised his head and shouted at the generals around him: "As many as you can walk, as many as you can live, you can't all die here." To the east?  There is no way back to Shenyang, and I don't know if the Ming army will block it, but it is the only way to survive now.  As long as they don't die here immediately, even if they can only survive for one more day by escaping eastward, the Qing soldiers in desperate situation will still choose.  The banner flew eastward, and Zhuo Butai led his guards to flee the battlefield first. More Qing soldiers lost their fighting spirit and fled in panic with their commander.  "Kill the slaves, kill the slaves!" The shouts of "Kill the slaves, kill the slaves!" were overwhelming, people shouted and horses neighed, and gunshots roared. Under attack from two sides by the Ming army, the Qing army was in chaos. The once bravery turned into a panic of running for life, and even turned back.  I also lost the courage to take a look.  The first one to launch the charge was the Dang Shuo Army, and the loud bugles resounded throughout the wilderness.  ¡°Charge!!!¡± officers at all levels roared with all their strength.  "Charge, kill!" Thousands of battle infantry shouted in unison, pouring forward, the red straight line turned into countless red dots, and mercury spread across the earth like a leak.  The red dots chased the fleeing Qing soldiers. Amidst the roar of the mountain and the tsunami, they fired muskets and stabbed with bayonets, harvesting cheap human lives on the battlefield. The Qing soldiers who fell behind or lost their horses howled at the top of their lungs and panicked.  of desperate escape.  With countless sharp screams filling his ears, Zhang Jingshuoha fell to the ground for the third time. Fortunately, his horse was hit by a lead bullet, but he was not seriously injured.  He got up dizzy and ran tirelessly among the crowd. His mind went blank. He didn't know the direction of escape at all, so he just ran with others.  At this time, he was no different from a soldier, and no one showed humility to him, Zhang Jing.  The rumble of horse hooves sounded behind him, and the earth seemed to be shaking. Shuoha didn't need to look back, he could hear it, but he didn't know when the Ming army had so many cavalry.  Wang Fuchen and Gao Dejie, with cold faces, led thousands of hussars into the chaos like a strong wind. They waved their sharp sabers and chopped down the nearby Qing soldiers, and then trampled them over mercilessly.  "Kill!" Wang Zhan roared, and with a thrust of his lance, an enemy screamed and fell to the ground. His eyes flashed and he looked ahead again. He never thought that Zhang Jing would die in front of him like this.On hand.  Since the First World War last year, the hussars have rarely gone out in large-scale battles. They have only been sent out in small units to conduct adaptive actual combat training.  However, expansion and training have been going on. Now, this iron cavalry shows its prowess again and will deal the final blow to the fleeing Qing soldiers.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
