The people in the capital can finally have a good New Year. They bought a lot of grain from these grain shops opened by Zhao Wen, which can help them survive this winter.

In addition to the capital, there are grain shops opened by Zhao Wen in every prefecture and county in Northern Zhili.

The reason why Zhao Wen did this was not that Zhao Wen had too much food in his hands and had no place to put it, but that he used this method to win over the people in the capital as much as possible.

Zhao Wen’s future goal is the entire world, so population is crucial to him.

The capital city is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the northern Zhili is also the place with the largest population in the Ming Dynasty. For Zhao Wen, one less death would be the least death.

At this time, Chongzhen also returned to the warm pavilion.

There are several copper stoves filled with charcoal in the warmhouse.

The warm pavilion was steaming and warm as spring. Chongzhen sat in the warm pavilion, looking at the heavy snow outside the window with a dull face.

Chongzhen had no intention of reviewing memorials, and the memorials sent to Chongzhen in the past few days have become fewer and fewer, and it is constantly decreasing at a geometric speed.

Obviously, most of the officials in the capital were no longer in the court.

At this moment, Gao Qiqian hurriedly ran into the warmer pavilion with a bamboo tube.

"Your Majesty, the eight hundred miles from Shandong have been expedited." Gao Qi sneaked to Chongzhen and said anxiously.

Chongzhen came to his senses and looked at Gao Qiqian, "Take it over."

Gao Qiqian hurriedly delivered the eight hundred miles to Chongzhen.

Chongzhen opened the eight hundred miles to speed up and started watching.

After reading it, Chongzhen threw the eight hundred in his hand on the table.

"Shandong is completely in decline!" Chongzhen leaned on the chair and closed his eyes.

Chongzhen clearly understood what the fall of Shandong meant to the current court.

When Shandong fell, the capital was completely blocked in the north and there was no hope of life.

...

New Year's Eve in Xuan Town is extremely lively, with gorgeous fireworks everywhere in the sky.

There were laughter and joy floating everywhere in the streets and alleys, and adults accompanied their children to stay up to the New Year, and the whole of Xuan Town was filled with joy.

When the sun rose from the horizon the next day, a loud bronze bell sounded from the palace in the center of Xuanzhen.

The people who heard the bronze bells understood that the sound of the bronze bells meant that the Chongzhen year had completely passed, and the first year of Qiyuan was ushered in.

Zhao Wen stood on the palace wall, looked at Xuan Zhen in front of him, and said confidently: "In the first year of Qiyuan, the journey of the empire has just begun!"

That night, Zhao Wen sat in the imperial study room and made plans for the future.

At most one year, the country can be completely calmed down.

However, Zhao Wen's purpose is not only that. In Zhao Wen's plan, the whole world still has to wait for him to conquer.

Although these things are still a bit far away for Zhao Wen now, they need to be prepared in advance.

In Zhao Wen's plan, after the civil war is over, the journey must begin within five years at most.

In the next two or three days, Zhao Wen formulated a general plan.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Qiyuan, Zhao Wen held a grand dynasty meeting.

Zhao Wen sat upright in the Golden Palace, looking at the civil and military officials standing on both sides of the hall, and said with a loud voice: "Today is the fourth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Qiyuan. Now, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other places have been taken down. I plan to completely take down the remaining places at the end of the first year of Qiyuan. At the beginning of the second year of Qiyuan, I want to take down the whole world.

However, my eyes are not only about China. I also have to conquer the West, the North, and overseas. In the seventh year of Qiyuan, my army must embark on its journey."

Liu Wenzhong frowned slightly as he heard Zhao Wen's words.

"Your Majesty, even if the country is big, it will perish if it is wary. After taking over the world, you should regain the livelihood of the people and should not have any more fighting." Liu Wenzhong stood up and persuaded.

Although Liu Wenzhong followed Zhao Wen for a long time, the education he received when he was young was still the Confucian style.

Confucianism had strong vitality and attack power in the Han and Tang dynasties, but since the Song Dynasty, it was castrated by the literati of the Song Dynasty and lost its bloody courage.

In Liu Wenzhong's view, as long as the world is pacified, we should restorate the people's livelihood, cultivate well, and restore the trauma of the war.

"I understand what you said, but do you think that the weapons in my hands are now, who else in the world can stop my strong soldiers?

Do you think there is a city in this world that I cannot conquer? With powerful weapons in hand, who is my opponent?" Zhao Wen looked at Liu Wenzhong and said loudly.

Liu Wenzhong was speechless by Zhao Wen's words. Indeed, using the weapons in Zhao Wen's hands, conquering the entire world is indeed not empty talk.

The officials of the Military Academy standing in the hall and the departments below the Military Academy all showed excited expressions.

Because only by constantly fighting can they continue to make achievements.

"We have to trample the world under our feet, we have to conquer the world!"

Zhao Wen stood up from the throne and shouted.

"Long live, long live, long live!"

The Military Academy in the main hall and the officials under the Military Academy all shouted.

At the beginning, the officials of the Councillor were hesitant, but as the shouts grew louder, they also cheered.

When Liu Wenzhong saw this, he knew that he could not stop Zhao Wen's thoughts, so he had to shout.

"Where is Song Yingxing?"

When the cheers stopped, Zhao Wen shouted.

"I'm here!"

Song Yingxing stood up and bowed.

"The tank drawings I handed over to you before must be developed as soon as possible, and strive to successfully test the tank before the domestic war ends next year." Zhao Wendao.

"I accept the order!" Song Yingxing replied with great enthusiasm.

"From today, all factories in Xuan Town will operate with all their might and produce all kinds of military supplies!

In addition, in addition to Xuanzhen, factories must be built in places acquired by Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, and strive to complete the construction in the shortest time.

Where is Sun Yuanhua, the Minister of Works?” Zhao Wen said.

"I'm here!" Sun Yuanhua stood up.

"From today, your department will send surveyors to Shanxi and other occupied places in Shaanxi to inspect and build various factories.

In addition, a large number of automobile production factories are built in Xuanzhen to produce automobiles.

And once the tank is trial-produced successfully, I will build a large number of tank production plants for me.”

"clear!"

In the following time, Zhao Wen arranged the plans he had formulated one by one.

Early the next morning, Chinese newspapers spread throughout Xuan Town.

Since Zhao Wen ascended the throne and became emperor, he has changed the name of Daming Daily, and banking schools and other names.

The front page headline of the newspaper is Zhao Wen's sentence "We must trample the world under our feet, we must conquer the world."

Zhao Wen's words suddenly aroused the belligerent spirit of the people of Xuanzhen.

If you want to talk about who is the real fighting nation in this world, I am afraid there is no other than the people on this hot land.

Since there are written records, the place has already started fighting, and the history of China is actually a history of war.

The Qin Dynasty's "The old Qin Dynasty went to the national crisis together, and the blood did not flow out, and he sweared not to stop fighting", the Han Dynasty's "Those who violated the strong Han Dynasty's Ming Dynasty would be punished even if they were far away", the Sui Dynasty's "Everyone who dared to invade the country, destroy its seeds, and eliminate its seeds", the Tang Dynasty's "all barbarians inside and outside, and all those who dared to claim their wars were killed", and the Song Dynasty's "I will not stand with the thieves even if I destroy my country and the genocide, I swear that I will not stand with the thieves."

Now, Zhao Wen once again made the strongest voice, "We must step on the world, we must conquer the world." This is the inheritance of generations, this is the blood courage that has never disappeared on this land.

Although Liu Wenzhong was a little worried about Zhao Wen's belligerent, he was just worried.

Because the weapons in Zhao Wen’s hands are invincible in this world and no one can stop them.

Xuanzhen is like a war machine, running with all its strength.

The workers in the steel plant work in three shifts and are working hard to provide production raw materials for the automobile factory, steam locomotive factory and other factories.

All factories related to military industry are also operating with all their might.

...

At the same time, a soldier with his head hanging down and his depressed will walked in the snow.

The leader is not someone else, but Li Zicheng, who had planned to flee north through Southern Zhili to the capital.

Li Zicheng rode on the war horse and looked at the snow-covered front with a look of depressed expression.

"In the past few days, more and more imperial soldiers have fled back from Shandong. I have asked someone to inquire among these soldiers.

According to them, Shandong has been taken down by Zhao Wen, a dog thief, and our road to the north has been completely blocked." Li Guo rode a war horse beside Li Zicheng and said with a worried look on his face.

When Li Zicheng and others entered Nanzhili, the officials in Nanzhili thought that these people were Zhao Wen's soldiers and were frightened to dare to leave the city, and they only dared to trap and guard in various cities.

Although Li Zicheng and others were preparing to go north to surrender to Chongzhen, their habits of thieves were difficult to change. After entering Nanzhili, they captured several small counties and plundered a large amount of population and supplies.

After a long period of peace, the local military discipline of the military was declining and the quality of the soldiers was of varying quality, so it was not Li Zicheng's opponent.

Li Zicheng led his men and the plundered population and materials to the north, preparing to go to the capital through Shandong.
