Chapter 130 Return to Nanjing

After Xiao Tianjian left Beijing, he went south along the canal. Along the way, he saw that with the fall of Daming, the situation along the canal was also rapidly settling down, and after the large and medium-sized troops along the line increased the purge, the safety of shipping on the canal could basically be guaranteed.

In addition, in some sections of the river that had been silted along the way, officials of the large and medium-sized armies in various places are also calling for dredging. In this way, the canal shipping has recovered quickly. All the way south, you can see a large number of the heads and tails in the south, and are going north along the canal, constantly transporting a large number of material resources. When he came to the north, even some merchants in the Jianghuai area saw business opportunities from it and began to hire ships and sell some materials from the south to the north to make profits, which is a good phenomenon for Xiao Tianjian.

Although Xiao Tianjian has robbed some merchants over the years, and even destroyed their families, Xiao Tianjian has never thought about it. He will catch all the world's rich businessmen and landlords. The prosperity of a country cannot be achieved by the small peasant economy alone, and business is crucial to the prosperity of the country. The role, so although he robbed a lot of merchants when he rebelled, it was also a last resort. After all, he had to maintain the operation of so many soldiers and horses. He could not survive without robbing Jie in advance. What's more, when he robbed some big merchants, he did not feel guilty. In this Behind the great merchants of the times, there is even a group of dignitaries. Their wealth accumulation can be said to be completed by criminal means. Now Xiao Tianjian uses it to rebel, so it is not too much.

However, for small peddlers, he still protects them as much as possible. Every time he goes to the next city, he basically has a goal and is organized. There are few incidents for ordinary people or small hawkers. And as long as the next city is slightly stabilized, he will encourage the vendors immediately. Resume business, and try to give some support, so that business and handicrafts can recover faster.

In this era, we must not underestimate the ability of these small vendors. Some of them are smart people who can often seize the opportunity to quickly get the first bucket of gold. The ability of these people should not be underestimated. They can increase the flow of materials from all over the world, and through their operation, they can also drive the handicraft industry. Come on, absorb some idle labor in society. In addition to allowing China and North Korea to collect taxes, the hidden harvest is greater, that is, some idle people who have lost their land can find a way to eat as soon as possible and completely stabilize.

Moreover, when Xiao Tianjian developed from the beginning, he paid great attention to the policy of land. On the one hand, he removed the body of the moth society of these societies by confiscated the land of officials and nobles and imperial relatives, so that the land can be returned to ordinary people. In this way, he not only won the hearts of the people, but also resettles them. A large number of farmers who lost land have returned to the land, fixed them, controlled their mobility, and restored social stability. At the same time, the agricultural economy that has been hit hard by natural disasters and war in various places can be quickly restored. The land abandoned by the war has been quickly restored, providing people with more There is an increasingly sufficient food supply.

This can be seen from the three or four years after he controlled Henan. Although the climate impact of the small glacier period still exists, there will still be droughts or floods in Henan from time to time, but under his governance, Henan has basically never been big again. In the chaotic or hungry situation, the original large area of abandoned land was quickly distributed to the farmers displaced by natural and man-made disasters in various ways, so the agriculture throughout Henan has been quickly restored, coupled with the promotion and cultivation of high-yielding sweet potatoes and high-yield drought-tolerant corn. Since last year, the grain produced in Henan has not only met the needs of the people in Henan, but also begun to generate a large number of surpluses, which greatly supported the needs of the former Xingtian Army.

Not to mention Huguang, Huguang was originally less affected by the small glacier period. The land is much more fertile than Henan. In addition, the climate is relatively windy and rainy, and the population is relatively dense. Therefore, since the Dazhong army took control of Huguang two years ago, the agricultural recovery in Huguang is more than that in Henan. It's much better. The food consumed by the Northern Expedition of the Dazhong Army this time mainly came from Huguang. If it weren't for Huguang, the Northern Expedition on such a scale by the Dazhong Army could not have been completed at all. Moreover, the rich food produced by Huguang and Henan not only met the needs of the Dazhong army, but also a large number of The Beijing Railway has eased the war-stricken grain shortage in the north, which has also played a vital role in the rapid restoration of stability in the north after Xiao Tianjian took Beijing.

Of course, the area of Nanzhili is also quite rich, and the grain output is not low. As long as the society settles down a little, those diligent farmers in China will immediately radiate huge productivity. Without encouraging them, they will spontaneously and quickly devote themselves to their own farmers. In the field, so Xiao Tianjian's control of Nanzhili has not been long, but the speed of agricultural economic recovery in Nanzhili is several times faster than that of Henan. Since the summer harvest this year, the grain has resumed self-sufficiency and no longer needs the support of Huguang area.

As for the northern part of Zhejiang controlled by the Dazhong Army at the end of last year, it goes without saying that it was originally the richest place in China, and the disaster of war was much less than that of Henan, Huguang, Nanzhili and the northern provinces. In addition, when the Dazhong army occupied northern Zhejiang, the officers and soldiers did not make resolute resistance, which made the war scourge The damage in this area has been minimized, so there is no recovery at all. As long as the local people produce normally, there will not be too many problems.

Therefore, Xiao Tianjian took a boat south along the canal all the way. Although he was in a hurry, he still saw both sides of the canal, recovering from the war at a flying speed. Along the way, he also learned that after entering September, the whole territory of Shandong, under the attack of Diao Zheng's army, had been attacked by the Great China and North Korea. Control, that is to say, by this time, the whole north has been controlled by China and North Korea, and Xiao Tianjian has basically no worries about the north.

Moreover, after Diao has completed the control of the whole territory of Shandong, he has also led some of his elite troops to return to Henan, ready to follow Liu Bao into Shaanxi to suppress Li Zicheng.

After Xiao Tianjian learned the news, he immediately issued a decree to encourage Diao Zheng.

So Xiao Tianjian went all the way south along the canal. Finally, half a month later, he led Yu Linwei and Liu Yaoben's second guard division back to Nanjing at the time of his departure.

The ministers of various ministries in Nanjing learned in advance that Xiao Tianjian returned to the division. Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered at the dock in the north of Nanjing and solemnly welcomed Xiao Tianjian into Nanjing.

With the end of the Northern Expedition, Xiao Tianjian, the founding emperor of the Great and Middle School, can be said to be as popular as the sun, dazzling that people dare not look up. As the emperor of the Great Middle School, he took great risks and personally led the army to personally. He not only destroyed the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, but also successfully built The slave blocked back outside the gate. It took less than four months to calm down the north. Although such martial arts, although they dare not say that there is no one before, it is enough to be great in the world.

So whether it is a literary minister or a military general, now they all admire the five bodies of their great emperor Xiao. At the same time, the people of the Dazhong Dynasty are also chanting Xiao Tianjian's achievements everywhere.

If Xiao Tianjian only destroyed the Ming Dynasty this time, then for him, I'm afraid he will not let the world pay attention to it. However, the main achievement of Xiao Tianjian's northern expedition this time is to completely defeat the Jiannu army in Shanhaiguan, which is true for these former Daming people. It is the reason for them to start their motivation for the return of the Great China and North Korea.

For so many years, the people of the world have borne a heavy burden for the construction of slaves in the north. In order to deal with the construction of slaves, the Ming Dynasty constantly increased the Liao and training of the pay, which made the people of the world suffer unspeakably. In the end, it also led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty. However, now it has been less than a year since the establishment of the Dazhong Dynasty. The emperor Under Xiao Tianjian's personal expedition, he actually reversed it for decades in one fell swoop. The Han people took the disadvantage of Jiannu and made the stubborn Jiannu fall in one fell swoop.

What a credit! Although the battles of the Northern Expedition this time were basically fought by the generals of the large and medium-sized armies, the common people would not think so! In the eyes of the common people, it must be the emperor's credit that the Northern Expedition of the Dazhong Army can fight so beautifully this time. Therefore, when Xiao Tianjian returned to Nanjing City by boat, not only the civil and military officials lined up on the dock, but also tens of thousands of people and gentry merchants around Nanjing City rushed to the north of Nanjing City. On both sides of the road, Xiao Tianjian, the new emperor of the martial arts world and the soldiers who followed him to fight were welcomed, and completely let Xiao Tianjian and his entourage soldiers experience what it was called eating pot pulp.

After Xiao Tianjian disembarked from the ship, the official of the Ministry of Ceremonies led by Lv Weiqi presided over a grand celebration ceremony and prepared a six-horse-drawn golden dragon for Xiao Tianjian. He asked Xiao Tianjian to take the dragon wheel back to Nanjing.

Although Xiao Tianjian did not like luxury, he was kind to this arrangement of the Ministry of Ceremonies. After completing the ceremony, he walked into this dragon car surrounded by ministers.

In ancient China, the rites were hierarchical and also a symbol of identity. The ceremonial department led by Lv Weiqi prepared such etiquette for Xiao Tianjian, and also for the sake of Xiao Tianjian's identity. Nowadays, Xiao Tianjian's identity is no longer the original bandit leader, but has become the king of a country in the world. Naturally You can't be careless, especially this kind of etiquette, which is also a kind of publicity to show Xiao Tianjian's achievements. At this time, even if Xiao Tianjian doesn't care, he can't brush the hearts of his ministers.

And this time he returned to Nanjing, it was also another time to publicize his merits. In the next step, he had to do a lot of things. If he could not establish enough majesty in the people and the DPRK, I'm afraid it would cause some trouble for many things he would do next, so Xiao Tianjian Of course, I won't waste such an opportunity. I strode on this dragon that symbolizes the emperor's identity and waved his hand and said, "Go back to the city!"

Hundreds of Yulinwei did not keep a low profile this time as before. This time, the Ministry of Ceremonies prepared a full set of emperor's honor guards for Xiao Tianjian, so the Yulin guards temporarily replaced all the new honors on the dock. Originally, in the opinion of the Ministry of Ceremonies, they also prepared new armor for these Yulin guards, but Xiao Tianjian did not agree. Let Yu Linwei change into a brand-new armor, just wear the armor they have been wearing for half a year, and go back to the city with him.

All the ministers were smart people. They immediately understood what Xiao Tianjian meant. They immediately removed the armor prepared for the Yulin guards, and let Yulinwei wear these weather-beaten armor, with a full set of honors. The atmosphere solemnly escorted Xiao Tianjian's dragon carri, and slowly walked towards Nanjing City.

The people by the roadside were stopped on both sides of the road by the officers and soldiers who were alerted. When they saw the emperor's ceremonial guard with flags and flags appearing in front of them, countless people saw these feather guards in old and even ragged armor at a glance, and also saw these feather guards walking in front of them. Everyone has a face full of wind and frost, but everyone exudes a strong atmosphere. As Xiao Tianjian's Yulinwei, they are all elite men selected from the army. Everyone can be said to have experienced war to become Xiao Tianjian's guards, so when these feather guards are dressed in these shabby When the armor is displayed in front of the people in a solemn manner, the impact it brings to the people is definitely far more than the feeling when they change into new clothes and armor.

This also made all the people who came to welcome Xiao Tianjian understand one thing. Their emperor did not make a show and went to the north comfortably. From the armor on these Yulinwei's body, we can see how much crime they suffered in this Northern Expedition, how much suffering they have suffered, and even some people have On the armor of some Yulinwei's body, some traces of knives and guns were seen.

So the people were even more shocked. Even Yu Linwei had such scars on his body. Needless to think about it, their emperor must have been the most dangerous battlefield in person, so countless people were immediately moved. Thinking about their emperor, for the sake of the world, he Are you still worried about living a stable life in the future?

So when countless people saw Xiao Tianjian's dragons appear behind Yulinwei, they knelt on the ground sincerely and began to shout long live long live...

Xiao Tianjian sat in the semi-open dragon chamble. Similarly, he did not change into the new dragon robe prepared for him by the Ministry of Ceremonies. Instead, he continued to wear the short yellow embroidered dragon pattern on the way back from the north, and he habitually hung a treasure knife around his waist. It can really can be said that he is majestic and not angry. After seeing him, everyone had to sigh sincerely that with this emperor, the peace of the world would be in front of him!

(The whole person is a little dizzy because of the severe pain in the gumsthesia wound. I don't feel it in this chapter! I'm sorry!)
