July in the eleventh year of Chongzhen!

Zhao Yan married Yan Yuyao and also held Shalena's house. This time, he did not invite many outsiders to the wedding, but only sent invitations to people from all walks of life in Shandong, as well as those officials who were more intimate in the officialdom.

Lu Xiangsheng cannot come, but the invitation still has to be posted. Among the officials invited this time, Qian Qianyi is also on the list.

By the way, Qian Qianyi was very well-off in the cabinet, and the Donglin Party also supported constitutionalism, so the Donglin Party quickly became Zhao Yan's third largest thug in the cabinet.

Therefore, the Donglin Party Representatives are also within the invitation range this time.

However, Chongzhen did not receive an invitation.

Zhao Yan got married, but the military headquarters dispatched troops there. The fifth infantry brigade of the First Division was transferred back to Shandong, while the three cavalry brigades were transferred back to Monan.

There is a benefit for the cavalry brigade to be placed in the south of the desert. It can intimidate the Mongols to the southeast, and it can intimidate the capital. In addition, the two infantry brigades in Shandong have not yet achieved the new army of Chongzhen. If they dare to move around, they will be more than enough to directly kill Chongzhen, but Zhao Yan didn't want to be so early.

After all, the entire Ming Dynasty has not yet fully entered his control.

What is needed to control the entire Ming Dynasty is talents. With the current number of officials in Shandong, they can't swallow the entire Ming Dynasty, and chaotic swallowing of territory will cause great bitter consequences.

It is easy to get rid of a piece of porridge by a mouse poop.

This kind of administrative method in Shandong is what Zhao Yan is satisfied with. The core criterion established in Shandong, Liaodong and North Korea is to "serve the people" rather than oppressing the people.

While solving difficulties and safeguarding the interests of the people as much as possible, there is also propaganda of ideas, commonly known as brainwashing.

This kind of brainwashing does not have the ability to deceive the surname, so the people are easily infected.

This will unite the will of all people into a rope and form a strong cohesion, which is the powerful core force of a nation.

This is a two-way thing. The administrative class has paid its own things and also gained a strong foundation. It is like eating cake.

A piece of cake is originally so big. Some people snatch the part of the people and eat it. Some people snatch the cake to the people. While trying to make the cake bigger, they also snatch other people’s cakes to eat so that they and the people can have cakes to eat.

Therefore, those who do not distribute the cake to the people will eventually be snatched away or overthrew by the people.

It is necessary to cook something like Mingchuan, because people can express their wishes and solve problems at any time, so that society can maintain a healthy state to a large extent.

The reading skills are different, that is the breeding ground for [***].

Therefore, Zhao Yan is working hard to promote Mingchuan.

At present, Mingzhuo has no soil for survival in the Ming Dynasty because the quality of the people is not high enough, which is also one of the reasons why Zhao Yan vigorously develops education.

Only by popularizing education and opening up people's wisdom can there be a clear soil for survival.

Therefore, although Zhao Yan is currently studying, he has begun to promote Mingzhu's idea in school.

At present, reading and Mingzhuo are not in conflict. Zhao Yan's reading and talent system is currently in a good state and there is no social conflict. The people support him and are working hard to transform into Mingzhuo.

When to cook it clearly depends on the timing. Students understand this. After coming into contact with the detailed Mingchuan ideological education, they understand very well that the current Ming Dynasty does not have the living space for Mingchuan. Once it is implemented, it will only become a situation of selling dog meat with the title of sheep.

...Chongzhen was not unaware of Shandong's dispatch of troops. After all, the return of five infantry brigades could not be hidden on the way. After all, Chongzhen's spies could freely enter and exit the provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

The retreat of the five infantry brigades of the First Division declared the end of the Mongolian War.

In this war, Zhao Yan didn't make much money, and it can be said that he was not making any profit or losing money. After all, Mongolia didn't have much money, but there was a superficial commercial tax project.

In the future, in terms of management of wool and fur in Mongolia, all the wool will be taken over by Zhao Yan's textile factory, while the fur will be run by other merchants and will be subject to taxes.

But Mongolia is strategically important. The Mongolian Plateau is in a high-altitude area, with a small incidence of livestock and rich pasture resources, making it most suitable for raising horses.

Before mechanization cannot be completed, the troops will rely on horseback. Otherwise, if soldiers are allowed to hike out to expand their territory, wouldn’t it be too slow and tiring?

As for trains, they can’t be repaired so quickly. Moreover, it is impossible to expand to build trains first, and trains cannot be built in other countries!

Therefore, horses are still very important in combat equipment in the future, and horses are not only needed for combat, but also for transportation.

The main transportation is completed by trains, and the level under the train is completed by horses. Most of the horse breeds raised by folks are not good.

Horses raised by the people are rarely used as war horses. The main reason why the people need is not horses that fight, but horses that are capable of being rough and endurance and have two concepts. However, folk cultivation is not professional after all, so even horses that are suitable for the use of the people are still not very good.

There are three types of war horses in the army: one is used for charge, one is used for transportation, the other is to drag artillery and baggage.

Horse breeds of various purposes are already being cultivated, and the scale of cultivation is still relatively large. The European horses transported from the California colonies are very good. After crossing with local horse breeds, a considerable number of breeds can be cultivated.

However, cultivating war horses is a relatively long-term job, and the Dutch are obviously more experienced in horse breeding. Among those Dutch prisoners, many are proficient in horse breeding. They do not have to build roads and mine like other Dutch prisoners. They also get salary every month, so they are very happy.

At the same time, Mongolia is also very rich in minerals. Many rich people in Inner Mongolia later generations mainly because of the discovery of minerals and fewer people.

Currently, gold, silver and copper can be mined, and nitrate mines. Inner Mongolia is one of the four major salt lake areas in China, and the nitrate mine reserves are very rich.

It is mainly concentrated in the Ordos area of ​​Hetao. There is a super large Glauber's salt mine with a reserve of more than 6 billion tons and buried about 100 meters underground. The open-pit Glauber's salt content is about 13% to 20%, which is generally suitable for mining.

The Military Weapons Bureau has begun to establish a nitrification factory in the Hetao area, and plans to establish a steel plant in the south of the desert have also been proposed.

There are many iron ore in Baotou area, with more than one billion tons, which is the Baotou steel of later generations. As for where Baotou is, Zhao Yan didn't know, but just gave an order to the lower level and focused on exploring the northern part of Ordos, where is the approximate location of Baotou.

Of course, the important goal of prospecting is precious metals.

Zhao Yan has no energy to mine precious metals. This year, the golden troops have tripled and have been dispatched to various places.

...When Zhao Yan married Yan Yuyao and passed by, fifteen frigates that had just started to escort the troop transport ships and began to move south. The troop transport ships were soldiers from the American Infantry Brigade.

After they arrive in Tainan, they will attack the Minjiangkou with the cooperation of the navy.

The plan given by the General Staff was to go north along the Minjiang River, and then go north from Jianzhou (Jianou) to attack Xianxia Pass and open the throat of Bamin.

Xianxia Pass is one of the few great passes in the world. The reason why Zheng Zhilong dared to challenge Zhao Yan was because of the strict passes in Fujian.

The five infantry brigades of the First Division were dispatched to Zhejiang in a very low-key manner...
