"Can one and a half million stones of wheat be enough for the soldiers and civilians of Hedong Prefecture?" Zhu Juan asked Tang Jingsong next to him while looking at the endless sea of ??wheat. £«£«£«
"Enough, absolutely enough." Tang Jingsong said respectfully, "Now the total number of troops, civilians and white prisoners in Hedong Prefecture is less than 600,000. And by September, we plan to sow 1.5 million acres of winter wheat. By June next year, we can harvest at least another 2 million pounds of wheat. To be honest, the land in North America is so fertile and vast Now that it can be owned by our Chinese people, it is a great achievement of your Majesty!"
His words came from the bottom of his heart. Although he was not an officer in the Donghua Army system, he still admired the achievements of commander Juan. In any case, Beihua and Donghua together were almost as big as the Ming Dynasty itself, and it was Huan who led his troops to conquer them!
"It is my father and my mother who have made the greatest contribution to the world." Zhu Huan said calmly, "The battle in North America could have been won if the King of Korea was commanding it. At most, more people would die. Greater China has a population of 750 million and is known as With 70 million bayonets, the Americans cannot win Unless the Kingdom of Donghua does not appear, Greater China will have no place in North America.¡±
"Your Majesty, you are too modest. Without you, Donghua and China would never be as strong as they are today." Tang Jingsong was still respectful and called Huan the king - Huan's ambition was not small, but he was fair in dealing with people and could be detached from others. The various factions of the North American Army did not try to weaken the Ming Army in the combat command, nor did they allow the generals of the Donghua Army to compete with the Ming Army generals for credit. They also generously allocated large tracts of land and large amounts of funds for resettlement. The Ming officers and soldiers of Donghua won the favor of many young officers and soldiers of the Ming army.
"Your Majesty. It's your Majesty"
"The king is a thousand years old!"
"The king is a thousand years old!"
When Zhu Huan and his party arrived at Donglufu Pier. A group of retired Ming army officers and soldiers who had gathered there and were waiting for the ferry recognized Juan in military uniform. There was cheering immediately. Juan also reined in his horse and waved to the people who had fought under his command and were now his son's subjects. He discovered that some retired officers and soldiers of the Ming Army were accompanied by white women. They should be the wives they got at the station, right? Different from the enthusiasm of their men, these white women who were forced to make a living and married Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers just looked at the King of Donghua who ruined their beautiful lives with numb eyes.
"Your Majesty, don't leave Donghua. Stay and continue to be our King!" a young veteran shouted.
"Yes, stay and be our king!"
"Donghua cannot live without you!"
People shouted one after another - although Ming Dynasty had been developing on the road of capitalism for nearly 30 years at this time, it was still far from being wealthy and developed. Even the British people in this era were not very wealthy. Therefore, most of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came from middle and lower families. Many of them were poor farmers from the Han region, so they naturally knew the value of land. In Han Dynasty, owning 100 acres of fertile land is already a wealthy farmer's home.
Now, every Ming Dynasty officer and soldier who stayed in North America can own at least 200 acres of fertile land, which is a coveted family fortune in the Han Dynasty. With such a generous reward, naturally everyone turned to Zhu Juan - this was also an important reason why Zhu Guoxiong was unwilling to take back most of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers sent to North America. In the past, when Zhu Jishi rebelled, he used 40 acres of military land to buy the hearts of hundreds of thousands of warriors. Now that Zhu Huan can give 5 times the reward, the Ming court wants to stop the soldiers from taking it. Wouldn't that block the financial path of millions of soldiers? How could Zhu Guoxiong be such a villain who harms others but does not benefit himself?
As for Zhu Huan, the retired officers and soldiers of the North American Ming Army, they could only turn a blind eye and pretend they had not seen him.
Zhu Huan jumped off his horse and walked up to these retired Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers. Everyone stood up straight, with polished rifles on their shoulders, as if they were elites who could immediately join the battlefield. Everyone knew that Juan was going to give a speech, so they all turned their attention to him.
"Everyone, thank you for your retention and your outstanding performance on the battlefield! The reason why the richest land in the world belongs to the Chinese nation is not because of my personal command and leadership, but because of the brave efforts of all of us! North America's Victory is something we all create together!
Therefore, this rich land naturally belongs to all of us. Everyone who has fought for this chosen country or worked diligently on the home front to win the war, including Donghua, Ming, Japan, Korea and other Xia countries people. So Donghua belongs to everyone, not to me personally. Although I have to leave Donghua now, as long as you are still in Donghua and as long as the entire Chinese nation still has this chosen country, no one or any force in the world can take it away from us. nation!
¡°And I am now leaving my beloved Donghua Kingdom to go to the Kingdom of Mexico for the future of the Kingdom of Donghua because our Donghua will also face ferocious enemies and dangerous environments in the future. In the war that has ended, we only defeated the enemy but did not completely eliminate them! Twenty or thirty years later they will rise again and attack us and our children more crazily. In order to win future victories and let our Chinese nation own the entire Chosen Kingdom, I must become the King of Mexico and firmly unite the Kingdom of Mexico and the Kingdom of Donghua!
I promise you here that when Donghua¡¯s enemies show their fangs again, I will come back to fight with all Donghua citizens to win the final victory for Donghua and the Chinese nation! I will return! "

¡°Welcome back, Comrade Nechayev!¡±
¡°In a forest somewhere on the border between the Russian Empire and the Grand Duchy of Finland, dozens of people on fast horses galloped across the border that had not yet been formally demarcated, and stopped in front of a small wooden house hidden deep in the forest. The dozens of people on the horse were all covered in sweat and dusty. The first person in front of him was Nechayev, the leader of the Russian People's Opinion Party. His face was as dark as water, with no expression at all. He just looked at a thin young man in his early twenties and several other people standing in front of the cabin. Volya Volya members disguised as woodcutter.
"I am Georgi Valentinovich Plekhanov. Comrades Lavrov, Comrade Feishenko and Comrade Mitrofanov asked me to wait for you here." The leader. The young man introduced himself.
Lavrov, Fesenko and Mitrofanov are all leaders of the Volya Volya of the same generation as Nechayev, and are also the main leaders of the Volya Volya in Russia. Plekhanov is a student of Fesenko and is now the secretary of the Petersburg Bureau of the People's Democratic Party. He directly reports to Ivan Fedorovich Fesenko, the secretary of the Petersburg Bureau.
"Where is Comrade Feishenko?" Nechayev asked on horseback. "When can I enter Petersburg?"
¡°Comrade Feishenko has prepared a fishing boat in Solvatara and is ready to send you across Lake Ladoga into Petersburg to lead the uprising!¡±
"How is the situation in Petersburg?" Nechayev asked again, "Is the Tsar still alive? Has the Russian government announced the dissolution of the Duma?"
Nechayev lived in Helsinki, Finland, where the headquarters of the People's Democratic Party was also located. Before Nechaev left Helsinki, Russia was experiencing a constitutional crisis. Due to overconfidence and trust in the peasants, the tsarist government implemented universal male suffrage in the Duma election. The tsarist government believed that the Russian peasants under the management of rural communes were the best speakers and the basis of their rule. Vote for the "bad guy."
However, the election results surprised the Tsarist Russian authorities. Those elected were not honest peasants with no demands, but radicals from the Socialist Party and the Socialist Revolutionary Party! On the first day of the Duma session, these socialist and Socialist-Revolutionary Dumas proposed the All-Russian Agrarian Reform Law, which would nationalize all land across the country and then distribute it to each rural commune. Equally distributed to farmers for free use! Of course, the Tsarist Russian government could not agree to the All-Russian Land Reform Law, which seriously harmed the interests of the nobility. The Tsar, who was dying of illness, vetoed the bill from his hospital bed. However, the Duma passed the same bill again the next day, and also passed a "Russian Constitution" designed to limit the power of the tsar and turn Russia into a country with a false monarchy.
"I haven't heard that the Tsar died of illness, but he is about to die, because he has issued an order to dissolve the Duma!" Plekhanov replied with some excitement, "Now the whole of Petersburg is angered, and we People also organized an all-Russian general strike based on your order. Now Russia's railways, factories, and mines have been paralyzed. The tsarist government can no longer get the weapons and ammunition that can sustain the imperialist war, even the ones sent by the French. Food cannot be transported by rail to Petersburg and Moscow, and these two cities will soon be starving!"
"Good! Well done!" Nechayev slapped him. Petersburg and Moscow are going hungry! this point is very important! Food is the most important thing for the people. As long as the Tsar has enough flour, he can stabilize the hearts of the people in Petersburg and Moscow. If Napoleon IV had provided several more billions of gold francs in aid after the war, the Russian economy would have been able to get out of trouble very quickly - Russia was not like Britain, and was still an underdeveloped country. Although its economy was not strong, it could easily Recover from difficult situations.
"Let's go to Petersburg immediately!" Nechayev looked at the young man in front of him, "Comrade Plekhanov, you will lead the way and take us to the place where the fishing boats are hiding. I must reach Petersburg as soon as possible, because only Only I can lead this uprising!¡± (To be continued)Search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
