Dominate the Country

This is the Burmese War.

Whether it is the coalition forces in the Delta or the Fifth Mountain Infantry Brigade in the north, they can easily win the front battlefield, but they have to slow down in the sneak attacks and harassment of sporadic Burmese troops, and even pay many costs that are not in the plan in the eyes of the Grand Governor's Office.

But these are the necessary processes for an army to continue to mature. A large amount of war materials were fed back to the Grand Governor's Office, and then became textbooks and battle examples for various military schools and arms. All this from another perspective is accumulation.

Summarize experience, learn lessons, and learn from the past.

Chen Ming has waited for his eldest son to return to the palace, but the war in Burma is still going on. Before the rainy season in Burma this year, it seems difficult to see the day of rest.

The development of things rolled forward with the passage of time. Just when Chen Ming couldn't help paying attention to the situation in Burma, on the eve of the delivery of the third internal memorial from North Korea, a not-so-good news came to Nanjing.

The Northwest and the northern border were hit by disasters!

The wind was howling, the snow was flying, and the northern Xinjiang was covered with white in the cold winter. It was freezing cold, the water was frozen, and the sight was unable to see the situation a hundred meters away. The snow in Urumqi was as deep as two feet.

Even worse was the area of ​​Atel, where the snow in many places was close to three feet.

At the end of the fifth year of Chengtian, the northern part of Xinjiang suffered the largest snowstorm in five years. The thickness of the snow generally exceeded two feet, and in some places it even exceeded three feet!

Traffic was blocked, houses collapsed, and livestock froze to death. More than 50,000 people were affected, and more than 20,000 people were trapped by heavy snow. The thickness of snow in the worst-hit areas generally exceeded one meter. Along with this heavy snowfall, there were also strong winds of level 6 to 7 in northern Xinjiang, causing the lowest temperature in some places to drop to minus 35 degrees Celsius. The heavy snow also covered the winter pastures in many areas, and many livestock in the free-range mode starved to death because they could not eat grass. Several consecutive severe cold snaps and snowstorms have exacerbated the disaster in northern Xinjiang. At present, the disaster has caused more than 10,000 people to be urgently relocated and resettled, more than 1,000 people injured or sick, more than 5,000 houses and tents collapsed, more than one million acres of winter pastures damaged, more than 500,000 livestock killed or injured, and more than 2 million livestock had difficulty finding food. The direct economic loss due to the disaster reached more than 300,000.

The garrison and local government in northern Xinjiang reported the news to Nanjing as soon as possible!

"Make good arrangements for disaster relief. Local officials can open the reserve granaries in various places to provide disaster relief when necessary. Then tell the Northwest Military Region to take this opportunity to completely clean up the bandits and resistance organizations in northern Xinjiang."

Chen Ming is not worried about the blizzard in northern Xinjiang. Even if many people are really affected, how much loss can there be? There are only one or two million people in northern Xinjiang, many of whom are Han people who have just migrated from the eastern part of northern Xinjiang. Moreover, he had promoted silage technology in northern Xinjiang many years ago. Although the promotion in northern Xinjiang was not as effective as that in the northwest and Ningxia, it could always reduce the supply and demand of grass to a certain extent. In addition, the government also vigorously promoted alfalfa planting in northern Xinjiang, and each place also had a grain reserve warehouse, which had a very effective mitigating effect on the impact of the blizzard disaster.

So after Chen Ming issued an order that officials in various places could open the warehouses when necessary, the cabinet was busy. I don’t know if Chen Cong and others would feel unlucky. Northern Xinjiang was hit by a disaster at the beginning of the year.

Fortunately, it was not Mongolia that was hit by the disaster. China has continued the sheep improvement work for several years, and several sites have been established in Inner Mongolia. If it were to be hit by a disaster, the loss would be great.

In recent years, China’s demand for woolen cloth has increased. Not only the military needs it, but also many government officials and students. Wool military casual clothes have become one of the representatives of Chinese dresses. After all, this clothing looks dignified, generous, and lively. In Chen Ming's previous life, the elder of the Rabbit family was the spokesperson for this kind of clothing.

In an era when the culture of the country was not overwhelmed and deeply influenced by the West, the popularity of military casual clothes throughout the country was also a trend.

These have stimulated the development of China's wool industry to a certain extent. In the next ten years, China will inevitably import this kind of cloth from Europe, but China's own wool production area can only come from northern Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Mongolia. It is entirely foreseeable that this will bring great stimulation to the above three animal husbandry areas!

Wool can also make money.

Chen Ming doesn't worry much about how to develop domestic animal husbandry. With this magic weapon, the economy of the animal husbandry area has another pillar, and naturally people's hearts will become more and more stable. So take this opportunity now, and try to eradicate horse bandits and resistance forces. The most fundamental thing is to do your best.

The disaster in northern Xinjiang has caused Chen Han to have an additional fiscal expenditure in the sixth year of Chengtian, but the presence of northern Xinjiang in the empire is too low. Many ordinary people would rather watch a verbal quarrel between the Japanese shogunate and the royal family, take a look at the news in North America, the development progress of Nanmingzhou, or even a meaningless piece of gossip, than to disperse their energy to the northern border. Therefore, throughout the first month of the year, Nanjing was peaceful inside and outside the city.

Chen Ming welcomed the news of the arrival of the Koreans in a peaceful atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, Jin Jida has arrived in Yantai with the Korean delegation." It is a gathering place for many Korean businessmen coming to China, and it is also the first stop for many Korean delegations to come to China. They rest in Yantai for two days and then take a boat to Shanghai. "However, Jin Jida did not rest in Yantai, but took a ship to and from Shanghai directly to the south."

In the Qianqing Palace, Chen Ming was looking at the report of the National Security Bureau. Just two days ago, news suddenly came from Jeju Island that the third wave of North Korea's surrender had begun, and Jin Jida himself would come to China with the North Korean delegation to Beijing.

Chen Ming immediately asked the National Security Bureau to closely monitor the North Korean ships that were about to arrive in China.

Then today, the exact news was received.

The National Security personnel who had been active in North Korea disguised themselves as customs inspection members and personally confirmed Jin Jida. Chen Ming really felt strange. After all, the latter was also the chief minister of a country. He suddenly abandoned his domestic stall and ran to the suzerain country, and kept it secret, just saying hello to the Chinese government. What exactly did he want to do?

"Closely monitor and ensure the safety of Jin Jida and his party."

After the National Security personnel withdrew, Chen Guang immediately issued a secret order, requiring the National Security personnel in Shanghai to increase the protection of Jin Jida and his party to the highest level.

As for what Jin Jida was planning, this can only be said to be the last unwillingness of a clear-headed and rational person.

North Korea is about to be swallowed up by China, but many high-ranking officials in North Korea still have the same impression of China as before. Based on his own contacts and those of his family, Jin Jidae is absolutely sure that China now is very different from China in the past.

He wants to take a real look at China and truly understand China. Isn't this too much?

Even if he hands over the fate of North Korea, he must take a look at what the future will be like. Hearing is false, seeing is true, and he must die with a clear understanding.

…

On the fifth day of the second month of the sixth year of Chen Hanchengtian, Jin Jidae set foot on the land of Shanghai. He came to Shanghai, the most important foreign window and trade city that China is fully operating.

Although the overall trade scale of Shanghai has not caught up with Guangzhou. In the future, China has cities such as Hong Kong and Shenzhen sharing the glory of Guangzhou. How can it still keep pace with the Magic City and the Imperial City? Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are remembered in the deepest part of the minds of countless migrant workers.

The only concept of prosperity and prosperity in Jin Jida's mind is the past Seoul and Kaesong. Even trapped in the old ideas in his mind, he compared Seoul with Shanghai. Jin Jida thought Seoul would lose to Shanghai. He admitted that Seoul was not as good as Nanjing, and he was willing to think that it was natural. At that time, countless Korean envoys who came to China praised the vastness and prosperity of the Chinese imperial capital. But Shanghai was just a small city ten years ago, and Seoul was the capital of Korea's three thousand miles of rivers and mountains. Even if Shanghai has developed rapidly in recent years, Jin Jida still believes in his heart that Shanghai is at most similar to Seoul, and may not even be more prosperous than Seoul.

Then a port area made him feel bad. As for the city of Shanghai, ordinary roads are basically four-lane, and wider roads are six or even eight lanes. Is it easy to paint on a blank piece of paper? Shanghai is not as prosperous and populous as Nanjing, but this also means that Shanghai is more likely to be naturalized by Chen Ming.

A lot of knowledge about urban naturalization and architecture that is now competing in Chinese colleges and universities comes from Shanghai. Even now, this city has not been truly built.

The wide and straight road frightened Jin Jida first. Jin Jida wished he could walk around Shanghai, but he couldn't. As soon as he got off the boat, he was quickly sent to Shanghai Public Hospital by his servants and guards, and immediately reported Jin Jida's identity to the Shanghai government.

In the ward, Jin Jida's face was sallow, sweaty, and he was panting in pain.

He was covered with a white quilt, and there was a faint smell of rot in the air.

Wang Zhizheng frowned. This smell didn't sound like being sick. Could it be an infection from trauma?

"What disease?" Wang Zhizheng asked.

Next to him stood the current mayor of Shanghai, Xiao Lou, who looked nervous and had a layer of sweat on his forehead. Yue Wenhai had already decided to move up. Xiao Lou would take over the throne of Nanjing Prefecture Governor left by Yue Wenhai, so he couldn't get into trouble now. This was the most critical moment. How could he fail at the critical moment?

Next to him was a middle-aged woman wearing nursing clothes. She was the head nurse of a public hospital. Female nurses are still a rare species in China. There are only five in the entire public hospital. All of them, like Wang Zhizheng, are from the army.

"It was just the old gunshot wound on my leg that was red and swollen. Five days ago, I suddenly got sick and had a big swelling. When I arrived in Shanghai, my whole body was already very hot. The temperature was 39 degrees."

Thermometers have been popular in China, and Chen Ming thought that thermometers could be made. But reality told him that thermometers of this era could be made, but they were really too big. It was estimated to be twice the size of glass thermometers in later generations, and it took a long time to measure the temperature once, at least fifteen minutes, and the accuracy was not absolute.

Wang Zhizheng took a breath of cold air after removing the sheets. There was a huge abscess on the patient's leg, and he could feel his body temperature with his hands. It felt very high. He opened the box, wiped his finger with alcohol cotton, put a piece of sheep intestine on his index finger, and then pressed the abscess. The surface was very hot, and the healed scars were bulging. There was a very soft place in the middle. With a light press of his finger, the scar on the surface could be pressed down to a pit. It was most likely a flesh pit dug out by a bullet. It has not healed in the past few years, and now it suddenly relapses for some reason...

Wang Zhizheng has seen this symptom more than once. The veterans in the army are the group with the most cases of this situation, all of which are recurrences of gunshot wounds.

It is impossible not to have surgery in this case. "It must be operated on."
