I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The birth of the eldest son of the emperor is not a matter of Wu Changqing alone, but a matter of Dahua as a whole.

With the emperor's eldest son, even if Wu Changqing suddenly hiccupped now, the rest of the people would still be loyal to him.

This is crucial to the stability of a power.

Without this emperor's eldest son, Wu Changqing's fart, Dahua would definitely split, how could Liu Hansan make Li Shaobin the emperor, and they would be dissatisfied with each other.

But with this emperor's eldest son, Wu Changqing, they can only be powerful ministers at most, and they will choose to compromise with each other.

If they want to stand on their own, their prestige is not enough, and their ability is not enough.

Just like the previous Qing Dynasty, if there was no point of easing the conflict like Fulin, Dorgon and Hauge would definitely fight to the death, and neither would be able to make concessions to the other.

But because of Fulin, they could reach a compromise by making concessions to Fulin together and avoid infighting.

No matter how powerful Dahua was before, everyone was still a little worried.

I worry that this force, founded by Wu Changqing's personal ability and personal charm, will collapse in an instant because of Wu Changqing's disappearance.

The birth of the eldest son of the emperor allowed Dahua officials to work with more peace of mind.

For the common people, it is also a good thing for the emperor to have an empress, because under normal circumstances, when the eldest son of the emperor is born, he will amnesty the world and reduce taxes, which is a real benefit.

The next day, Wu Changqing announced the good news to the world. At the same time, officials in non-important departments were given three days off, and officials in important departments were given three days off in turn.

As for the common people, the land tax is exempted for half a year.

As for the businessmen, shouldn't the businessmen send some generous gifts to express their inner 'excitement' when the emperor has such a happy event?

Wu Changqing's attitude towards businessmen is the same as that of leeks.

Because it depends on them to develop the economy, he will find a way to fertilize these leeks (provide technology and create a good business environment), and then wait for them to grow up.

When there is a need, it will be harvested in a wave, and its wealth will be received and redistributed.

Of course, this is his plan, and he doesn't know whether it can be implemented smoothly or not.

Although the merchants did not have much force in their hands, their power should not be underestimated.

If it really pushes them, the whole society will cause unrest.

Amnesty the world.

Some petty theft and less serious offenders were released with reduced sentences.

Whether it is tax reduction or amnesty, they are actually raising the profile of the eldest son of the emperor.

Those criminals who have been amnested will probably remember for the rest of their lives that they were released from prison early for some reason.

Those people who have been reduced or exempted from taxes will also remember that this is because of the benefits of the birth of the emperor's eldest son.

Invisibly, they will all remember who the eldest son of the emperor is.

This kind of popularity or prestige is more or less useful.

For example, Wu Changqing suddenly hiccupped, and several princes climbed up to shout, and those people would definitely support the one they were most familiar with.

When the eldest son of the emperor was born, Dahua was celebrated in the whole country, and many industries took a holiday to celebrate.

And that doesn't include the military.

In Suqian, Liu Hansan was already preparing to launch an official attack.

They have recharged their batteries for several months and have prepared enough troops and materials.

The battles in the northern battlefield were not as petty as in the south, and the biggest battle only had more than 60,000 people.

The terrain in the north is too suitable for a large-scale decisive battle.

Liu Hansan's summer offensive this time has fully mobilized 150,000 troops.

The 150,000-strong army attacked in two directions, with a total of 40,000 troops on the left, led by Dong Tianbao, and marched north from Huainan, with the goal of capturing most of Henan.

The army on the right, led by Liu Hansan personally, totaling 110,000 people, started from Suqian and headed north along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, with the goal of occupying important cities along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and surrounding areas.

Such as Xuzhou, Zaozhuang, Jining, Liaocheng and other places.

As long as these places are occupied, their materials can be continuously transported from the rear, and then use the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal as a fulcrum to clear the surrounding areas.

It can be said that as long as the important cities along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal are occupied, the surrounding areas will basically be taken down.

It is impossible for the Qing army to be so stupid that after losing the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, they continue to place troops around it, which is equivalent to giving it to the Hua army in vain.

This battle can actually be classified as a competition for the canal.

By opening up the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, their troops can be directly put into Beijing. By then, Beijing will be within reach.

Before the war, the staff and those senior officers got together to study how to fight.

"By besieging Xuzhou, we can induce the enemy to come to rescue, and then encircle the points to help. Although the defensive role of the city is getting lower and lower, but it is possible to fight in the field, and it is better to fight in the field."

Army Chief of Staff An Fugui suggested.

"Poor is interspersed with tactics, and rich is bombardment. Where you need to use so many strategies, you can just push it all the way."

Ning Xiang, head of the Air Force regiment, said.

After several months of improvement and manufacturing, the size of the Air Force has now expanded several times, from battalion to regiment.

There are more than 2,600 troops in total, including more than 600 soldiers who know how to control hydrogen balloons and hot air balloons.

More than 1,200 people responsible for dropping ammunition,

There are also more than 800 ground support troops.

There are 500 flying equipment and 10,000 aviation bombs.

This kind of firepower is quite terrifying. If you throw it at the enemy's head at one time, there will be no slag left that can blow up the opponent.

It is precisely because of such powerful firepower that Ning Xiang felt that there was no need to engage in those complicated tactics, and he could just attack directly.

Surrounding the point to fight for reinforcements, it is nice to say, the key is, does the current Qing army still have the courage to come out to support it?

I am afraid that after hearing their own cry for help, they will only close the city gates to protect themselves.

"You don't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive, and when you don't have ammunition, you can only call for ammunition. Do you know how hard it is for me to go to Nanjing to get a batch of ammunition?

Use more tactics and save some supplies and ammunition. As long as we save a little, maybe we still have ammunition when we hit Beijing. At that time, wouldn't it be better to take Beijing in one go? "

Xu Yuxian retorted.

The last time he went to Nanjing to get supplies, he almost didn't get into a fight with the people from the Southern Army.

But these bastard generals in front, who don't understand economy, will only rely on firepower to bully the enemy when they fight.

Xu Yuxian did not agree with this situation.

"It's not easy for Your Majesty to govern the country. Let's save some money. Staff An, please continue to explain in detail, how to play this tactic, and how much can it take advantage of?"

Liu Hansan spoke.

He was moved when he heard Xu Yuxian's words, "You can get to Beijing if you save a little bit of money." If he could recapture all the north and capture Beijing in one go, he might be able to raise his title to another level.
