Chapter 216: Attacking Taiwan(1/2)

On the tenth day of May, a news was published on the Ming Dynasty newspaper, which shocked the entire Ming Dynasty.

The Mongolian coalition forces failed to attack the Shandong army at night and suffered heavy losses. The entire army then surrendered.

The leaders of the 13 Mongolian tribes presented a white camel and eight white horses, and appointed General Jianwei Zhao Yan as the "Tiankhan". Mongolia in the west of the Mo and north of the Mo were willing to incorporate it into the Ming Dynasty.

The battle against Mongolia was unexpectedly fast.

Most of the Mongolians in the south of the desert were basically wiped out by Zhao Yan's first division. Most of the tribes in the west of the desert and northern the desert were involved in the alliance. This time, they surrendered unconditionally, offered the tribute of Jiubai, and regarded Zhao Yan as the Tiankang Khan.

Zhao Yan first destroyed Korea, then the Qing Dynasty, and conquered Japan. This time, he destroyed Mongolia in the south of the desert, conquered Mongolia in the north of the desert, and Mongolia in the west of the desert. Zhao Yan's reputation has reached an insurmountable level.

However, as a military general, Zhao Yan once again stole the emperor's limelight, which was the focus of people's discussion.

Logically speaking, although Chongzhen, as the lord of a country, established a constitution, according to the provisions of the new "Da Ming Law", the emperor was still the highest nominal person in the Ming Dynasty.

The name of this Tian Khan should be Chongzhen.

Chongzhen was indeed furious in the discussion, and even expressed his dissatisfaction in the Royal Daily, which he started. The sales of the Royal Daily have been pretty good in one month since its establishment.

Yang Sichang himself made a movable type printing template, and also used a station in Shandong to deliver newspapers and summarize news.

Shandong's station system has become increasingly perfect and has begun to spread to various provinces. Stations not only undertake official information transmission, but also open to the public.

The station provides accommodation, transportation (carriages, ships), letter delivery, logistics, armed escort and other businesses, and has gradually begun to make profits.

Now it is opening along the Mongolian region.

There is no problem with printing and transmission, but the style of the newspaper is not very different from that of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty used vernacular Chinese. The Royal Dynasty used half-vernacular Chinese, which is the running script style of the late Ming Dynasty. This half-vernacular Chinese style has a tendency to change like vernacular Chinese. Under the influence of the Ming Dynasty, many words have been accepted by scholars.

However, in terms of news quality, the two are very different.

The Ming Dynasty Daily now has hundreds of journalists, including everything from agriculture to military, current affairs to business, and the Royal Daily focuses on current affairs, politics and business.

Current affairs are an indispensable part of news newspapers, and Chongzhen also had great advantages in business because the royal merchants had already been formed.

There are hundreds of merchants participating in the Royal Merchants Group, and they are all well-known figures in the local area.

At the same time, these royal merchants keenly realized that newspapers are a tool that can control the market. As long as some rumors are spread on it, they can make profits.

They need this kind of tool very much.

Although Chongzhen's newspapers were not comprehensive, under Yang Sichang's hard work, he promoted a group of hard-working talents, which made the newspapers have good quality. Although the cost is still relatively high, he still lost money according to such operations. However, after the Royal Daily was sponsored by the Royal Merchants, he still launched the campaign.

This loss is already a drop in the bucket under sponsorship.

In contrast, Daming Yuebao has recently begun to add advertising, which has reversed its losses and profits and has begun to move from losses to profits.

The supervision of advertising is relatively strict, and those false advertisements will definitely not be available to the newspaper. Once false advertisements appear on the advertisement, the newspaper organizer must be questioned.

As soon as the advertising method appeared, it immediately opened the door to newspapers to make profits. Shandong's private newspapers quickly increased to more than a dozen. These newspapers not only distributed newspapers in Shandong, but also began to want to publish them in surrounding provinces.

The news coefficients of these newspapers need to be reviewed and published in the industry.

The largest circulation of "Royal Daily" is the Jiangnan region. There is basically no market in Shandong, and it closed after a few days of its release.

Many literati from Jiangnan area bought "Da Ming Dynasty Daily" and "Royal Daily". Anyway, one piece is only one copper coin, which is extremely cheap.

However, the sales of "Da Ming Dynasty Daily" in Jiangnan are obviously higher than those of "Royal Daily".

However, the influence of the Royal Daily News, which Chongzhen asked Yang Sichang to run, had gradually expanded. Chongzhen became angry in the Royal Daily News, and the scholars of the world naturally listened to it completely.

After reading the newspaper, Zhao Yan couldn't help but reveal his feelings. He called the editor-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Daily, and then also delivered a speech in the Ming Dynasty Daily.

The general content is that the Tian Khan of the Yi tribe of Mongolia is just a false reputation. Since Chongzhen wants it, he can give up, which is not a big deal.

Once Zhao Yan's attitude was released, Chongzhen's face turned red, and it was left in vain. Chongzhen was embarrassed to make trouble again.

According to Zhao Yan, the Tian Khan in Mongolia is just a useless false reputation, and he has no concern to give it to him... Although he wants it very much, the problem is that everyone in the world is watching now! When it comes to this point, does he still have the face to ask for it?

Once Chongzhen was turned off, those minions couldn't make a fuss.

On the contrary, Zhao Yan was praised for his victory but not arrogant. He was well aware of the national justice and was recognized by many scholars.

Victory against Meng Da is definitely an exciting thing for all the scholars in the world.

The Ming Dynasty was depressed for decades of military decay. This time, it regained its power, wiped out Jianlu and conquered Mongolia in one fell swoop. The north of the Ming Dynasty had basically been pacified.

This year, locust plague occurred again in the Yellow River Basin, and droughts were occurring in Shaanxi and other places. The food for disaster relief was basically produced by Zhao Yan, and the disaster relief was also organized by Zhao Yan.

Moreover, the recent content has passed a proposal to control the three major water systems of the Yellow River, Huai River and Yangtze River. Nearly 10 million taels of money will be invested in this governance in advance.

Shandong has sent three engineering brigades and related professionals to contract the management of these three river basins.

The management cost of tens of millions of taels was the money lent to the cabinet by Denglai Bank and an interest-free loan. After Zhao Yan entered the world's vision, he did a lot of practical things, and more and more scholars also felt a sense of identity with Zhao Yan.

Even those who oppose Zhao Yan have to admit that Zhao Yan can become a wise monarch, and his abilities and his thoughts are far beyond this era.

A few days later, the thirteen tribe leaders came to Zhaojiabao and knelt in front of Zhao Yan to offer Jiubai. The two larger Mongolian tribes in the west and north of Mo were among them, and those who had not met the alliance were small tribes.

Now, the remaining 90,000 people in these thirteen tribes are all locked in concentration camps waiting to be incorporated, which basically means controlling these thirteen tribes.

It will be a matter of time sooner or later for those small tribes to be merged.

Many people came that day, and people from all walks of life came to Zhaojiabao.

Zhao Yan was wearing armor and sat majestic in the upper position. The leaders and followers of the thirteen tribes knelt underneath. This picture was copied by students from the art department of Denglai University using sketching techniques. It is said that this "Mongolian tribute picture" was sold at a sky-high price N years later.

In this painting, Zhao Yan held wheat ears and rice ears in his hand, while the Mongolians offered nine whites. These wheat ears and rice ears were items that Zhao Yan gave to the Mongolians during the Mongolian tribute.

This is the most shabby reward in history. Yi Yue was promoted by Shandong newspapers as "granted to Mongolian civilization". However, the Mongolians who received the reward did not dare to express any dissatisfaction.

This attack is different from the past. In the past, tribute came for profit. Anyone who comes to pay tribute will receive rewards that exceed the value of tribute. Most of the four barbarians who pay tribute are tempted.

And this time Mongolia was called to pay tribute.

They are losers, and they have no conditions to be worth it. It is already very kind to give rice and wheat ears, and at least there is a formal reward.

After receiving the reward, the Mongolians knelt three times and kowtowed nine times below.

The discussion stage for the incorporation of their tribe is now on. Zhao Yan gave Zhang Buyun some principles and then threw the matter to Zhang Buyun to deal with.

Zhang Buyun then established three major provinces in the south, north and west of the Moon, and incorporated the entire Mongolia and later Xinjiang provinces into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Xinjiang province belonged to the territory of the Mongolian tribe in Moxi, and the ethnic minorities were not as complicated as later generations. The Mongolians were basically the dominant one there.

Tibetan province, which was called Tufan this year, was also very close to Mongolia. Mongolia gradually believed in Tufan Huangshui. The fifth generation of Tufan [***] was named Awang Luosang Gyatso (1617-1682). Not long ago, he and the fourth Panchen Lam Luosangqu combined with the plan and sent people to Xinjiang province to secretly summon Mongolia Gu Shi to lead his troops into Tibetan province, overthrowing the rule of the Buddhist Kagyu Sect (White Sect) and the powerful figure of the serf master Zangba.

But Moxi is one of the fewest tribes in the alliance. With the power of these tribes in front of him, it is obvious that the entire Moxi can not surrender.

Treating Moxi and Tufan also requires iron-blooded means.

Lu Xiangsheng led 50,000 Xuan troops to conquer the western Mohe and Tufan, while the First Division continued to sweep the southern Mohe and northern Mohe, with the intention of completely clearing this area.

Regarding the immigration issue in Mongolia, the Ministry of Agriculture has sent people to inspect the pastures and selected 30,000 households in Qingzhou. Qingzhou has been developed into a breeding base in recent years.

There are a large number of farmers familiar with livestock breeding in Qingzhou, and the first batch of 30,000 households were mobilized to go to the immigration site in the south of the desert.

Most of the entire Mongolian in the southern desert was wiped out by the Shandong army, and the captured women reached about 130,000. These women were also very familiar with the animal husbandry industry.

And these women are private property.

Therefore, the Ministry of Agriculture is easier to open a ranch in the south of the desert. More than 100,000 women are currently conducting beauty pageants. Those with good looks will be brought back to Zhaojiabao and rewarded to soldiers who have made contributions in combat.

If you don’t look good, just put it there!

Zhao Yan has always treated these workers who do not need to pay wages. He does not beat or scold them. Although he is not very good at food and clothing, he can at least eat enough and wear warm clothes.

After dealing with the Mongolian affairs, Zhao Yan went home.

Zhang has been very happy these days and is about to give Yan Jizu a betrothal gift. At the same time, Yuan'er's health has become increasingly uncomfortable these days, so Zhao Yan has to go home to accompany her.

As soon as Zhao Yan returned home, he found that the house was full of trouble. A few maids didn't know what they were called, so Xiaolian ran past Zhao Yan excitedly with a bowl of casserole.

"Xiao Lian, stop for me." Zhao Yan quickly called Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian turned around and said, "The master is back."

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Zhao Yan asked in confusion.

"Mrs. I'm happy. This is the stewed chicken that has just been fried. The doctor said it is to replenish qi and prevent disease evil from entering the body." Xiaolian replied quickly.

"Are you happy?" Zhao Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes! Master, the wife vomited in the morning and ate a lot of bayberry. The old lady was suspicious at the time. Then she hired several doctors from the hospital to see her, and they all said she was happy." Xiaolian said endlessly, and Zhao Yan had already run to Yuan'er in a hurry.

Today, because of Yuan'er's incident, Zhao Yan's family was full of trouble. Zhang invited more than a dozen doctors to discuss how to raise the fetus.

After arguing, I felt that it was not appropriate to take any fetal pills. In the end, I unanimously adopted a black chicken soup to replenish qi. Zhang was afraid of accidents, so he asked these doctors to watch together when stewing black chicken, so don’t put the wrong medicine.

Zhao Yan entered the room, and Zhang was sitting next to Yuan'er, telling him something. As soon as Zhao Yan entered the door, he heard what Zhang said. When his mother was pregnant with Yan'er, it seemed that she was teaching experience.

"Mom, is Yuan'er really happy?" Zhao Yan confirmed again.

"There is still a fake. Why don't you come here quickly. Don't run around all day in the future and spend more time with your wife at home." Zhang said to Zhao Yan.

Yuan'er's face was filled with sweet joy and she lowered her head shyly.

Zhao Yan nodded repeatedly to deal with it, sat next to Yuan'er, took Yuan'er's hand, reached out to touch Yuan'er's lower abdomen, and smiled, "Let me check if it's really there."

With a bang, Zhao Yan's hand was slapped hard by Zhang. She warned Zhao Yan: "You kid, you can't touch your hands now. In addition, you and Yuan'er can't have sex anymore."

"I know!" Zhao Yan said helplessly, "I am Xiaobai!" He reached out and picked up a bayberry from the edge and threw it into his mouth. He grinned as soon as he bit it, "Why is it so sour!"

This made Zhang and Yuan'er laugh.

At this time, Xiaolian came in with black chicken soup. Zhao Yan just understood the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. This replenishment of qi is like closing the door tightly and preventing the thief from entering. However, if the disease is not cured, the thief will be locked at home.
