The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1893

[1893. Chapter 1802 Battle]

Actually… Actually Baiguan didn’t have much other ideas.

I just simply feel embarrassed.

Some Hanlins even started to have random thoughts.

What happened today is of great importance to the country. It is a big event and must be recorded in the real record and leave its name in history.

Just…how to write this?

When Zhu Houzhao saw that everyone was silent, he sighed and said: “The ministers did not say anything. It seems that they are also frightened and angry. They share the same hatred as me. In this case, then spread my will, quickly arrest the trouble-making guards, expel the Ottoman envoys, and send a message In the world, we, the Ming Dynasty and the Ottomans, were originally in harmony. The court was gentle and gentle, and its virtues spread all over the world. Today, the Ottomans’ wolfish ambitions are tolerable, but who can’t be tolerated? I have inherited the destiny and should conquer. One day, I will defeat the Ottomans, return in triumph, and sincerely We should offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple to appease the spirits of our ancestors.”

After Zhu Houzhao said this, the matter was settled.

Fang Jifan said excitedly: “Long live my emperor.”

The officials just said sparsely: “Long live my emperor.”

Today is different from the past.

The clear currents in the court have been almost completely cleared.

Since His Majesty has a purpose, not to mention that the conquest of the Ottomans may not be without benefits, so there are not many objections.

Zhu Houzhao said: “I ordered Wang Shouren, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, to supervise the food supply and strengthen the troops and horses. The army will start next month without delay.”

Then, Zhu Houzhao said to the other party’s successor: “The regent Fang Jifan will be the superintendent and control all the troops and horses for one year. “

Inside, I will capture the thief’s head. If not, come and see me.”

The smile on Fang Jifan’s face suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Damn it… Your Majesty, we are on the same side.

Raise your head, raise your head? Whose grandson is Liu Jin? Why not make it clear?

Zhu Houzhao’s decree has been issued, and he will naturally stop the court.

Immediately, a series of decrees came down, and the entire capital instantly began to turn into a huge steel monster that was slowly opening.

Every thick benzene part of this monster is extremely rough. When it was first started, it made a heavy and strange rattling sound, but then… each part began to become tighter.

Tabloids are very popular in the capital now.

The original tabloids were all for business people.

After all, every piece of news may affect the stock price of the exchange and involve the lives and fortunes of countless people. Therefore, someone specially compiles various market trends and prints them into books to let people know the latest information.

But people gradually discovered that buying and selling was not just about transactions. More often, he was also inseparable from the court.

Any possible changes in the court may have a huge impact on the stock price.

So… this tabloid began to include a lot of information about the imperial court.

Current politics has become inseparable from tabloids like this.

Some scholars, in order to submit articles, had to start observing business and current affairs, and then they immediately took up writing to analyze many current news.

Such scholars… were very popular at this time. They no longer just received high salaries, but could even influence public opinion.

Some people began to open up the market and became known, and they gradually became celebrities.

Of course…since it is open for business, such a tabloid will never discuss government affairs like the original Qingliu. But because they are backed by big business houses, they are often the mouthpieces of big business houses.

Changes in the world…are often subtle. When wealth begins to continue to be concentrated, wealthy businessmen have more and more wealth. They have begun to use various forces to strive to speak for themselves.

When the news of the conquest of the Ottomans came out.

The merchants were excited.

The stock prices on the exchange have actually been rising for several days in a row. Not only the Sihai Commercial Bank has risen sharply, but also the stock prices of many steel and medical equipment workshops have also risen continuously.

At the same time, excited businessmen have begun to look for various business opportunities.

The Ministry of War has begun to raise funds.

The money and grain allocated by the imperial court were sent to the Ministry of War, and then… large-scale purchases had begun.

At this time, tabloids played a huge role.

Almost all the big businessmen behind the tabloids are happy to see the outcome of the war against the Ottomans. They are like flies seeing the fish. As a result, various rumors about Osman and his country came out in the tabloids.

Some celebrities wrote articles one after another and began to launch fanatical rants.

As if overnight, everyone remembered Osman. At first, they ignored Osman, then turned into curiosity, then turned into anger, and finally became sworn in.

The expectations of the new army and the subjects of this world have begun to become extremely high.

Under the constant instigation of tabloids, countless subjects and common people asked to join the army.

The new army recruitment office is always overcrowded.

The soldiers in the army seemed to have suddenly ushered in spring again. The matchmakers at home had already crossed the threshold. The female workers in the textile workshops always talked about the topics of the men in the army in their free time.

The soldiers of the First Battalion of the First Army had already begun to enter the station. The steam trains bound for Yumen Pass already made countless trips every day.

Countless supplies, truckload after truckload.

The first battalion, as the advance team, will be the first to assemble at Yumen Pass.

They lined up to the station.

Then board the car.

When the train passed through the urban area of the capital, someone on the side of the road noticed the crowd of soldiers outside the train window and immediately cheered.

Ming Dynasty seemed to have never been so eager for war.

Some people even don’t know what’s going on, as if they are trapped in the sand in the surging river, and they have no time to think deeply about why Osman will die after eating a melon.

Naturally… these are secondary.

The newspaper made it very clear.

They humiliated the wise emperor’s ancestors.

They trampled on the dignity of Ming subjects.

There is no room for sand in the heavenly kingdom.

The Ming Dynasty had the responsibility to rescue the Ottoman subjects from the rule of the cruel Ottoman royal family. This was the so-called crime against the people.

Stations everywhere were crowded with soldiers who were about to go to Yumen Pass.

The people responsible for dispatching supplies are already exhausted.

A laundry list of everything from ammunition, to medicines, to canned supplies, and even the cattle and horses needed after leaving customs, all needed to be transported.

Every department and every yamen were frantically passing documents between each other.

There are those who argue, there are those who accuse, there are those who upload, there are those who issue orders, there are those who scold NIANG, there are those who explain their difficulties, there are countless others.

This is especially true for Wang Shouren.

Although the mentor is the supervisor.

But basically… the supervisor comes and goes without a trace, and is always missing.

As the Minister of the Ministry of War, he must share the worries of Shangguan, not to mention, he also needs to solve the problems of his mentor.

Almost everything happened on him.

Early in the morning it was time to deploy strategies with the generals.

In the morning, I went to the household department to urge for money and food, or… the previous budget seemed to be exceeded, so I gave money.

At noon, while holding a big teapot and eating steamed cakes, we went to various stations and checked the transportation list.

In the afternoon, I went to the palace to have an audience.

Dinner was eaten at a military camp a dozen miles outside the city, where we reviewed a group of soldiers who were about to embark on the journey.

At night…you need to see the revised map from Jin Yiwei in person.

After sleeping like this for two hours every day, Wang Shouren felt like he was going to collapse.

Fortunately, his body was always strong and he was able to survive it.

It’s just that the eyes are a little red, like a rabbit, with blood color.

He never knows how many troubles will come to him next.

Therefore… I dare not stay home, dare not take a bath, and dare not relax myself.

The budget has been increased again and again.

In fact… this is the first new army battle.

The supplies required for such a large-scale recruitment of troops… exceeded everyone’s imagination.

At the Ministry of Household Affairs… I was ready to scold my mother when I looked at the repeatedly increased budget. At first it was five million taels, then eight million taels, and now it has exceeded one thousand one hundred taels.

But the more money Hubu spent, the happier the merchants in the world became. They rushed to tell each other that they should expand their workshops quickly and increase orders.
