Beijing is still hot at the end of July.

There were storms in the south, and Chongzhen stabilized the palace.

On this day, Chongzhen focused on writing his strategic plan for "Maritime Silk Road" in the pavilion beside Taiye Pool.

Based on the current situation in the mainland and the pressure of northern border troubles, the opening plan is divided into several steps:

1. In order to cooperate with the first ten-year plan, a large amount of food was transported from the sea to enter the inland to stabilize people's livelihood.

2. Establish multiple stable trade lines at sea to expand the income of the imperial court.

3. Promote the vigorous development of state-owned trading companies, drive the coordinated development of private trading companies, establish the first generation of light industrial industrial structure of the Ming Dynasty, and prepare for the future layout of a large-scale navigation.

4. If you want to enter the business era, you must first solve the problem of eating. Before the problem of eating is solved, all financial measures and production capacity explosions are castles in the air.

5. If you want to destroy Jiannu, you must have a complete military and political mobilization system. If you want to have a complete military and political mobilization system, you must have a healthy administrative system, and the basis is the stability of people's livelihood.

Having said that, can Chongzhen send troops to Liaodong immediately now?

After solving the prince's affairs, you can send troops to Liaodong. After all, the new army has been expanded to more than 100,000.

However, there are great hidden dangers here.

For more than 100,000 troops to fight in Liaodong, how much food is needed for three months?

Suppose each person has 3 kilograms of grain per day, 150,000 people, consumes 450,000 kilograms per day, and consumes 40.5 million kilograms per day.

Without a complete transportation system and mobilization system, 40.5 million kilograms of grain must be transported to Liaodong, and the consumption on the road will be as high as 80 million or even 100 million kilograms.

In other words, if you fight three months of war, you may have to consume 140 million kilograms of food.

This is just to forget about transporting from Shuntian Prefecture to Liaodong. During the war, the army advanced forward, and the food must follow and consumed.

Moreover, the Beijing Guards and the Liaodong Army only consumed a total of 160 million jin and 1.33 million shi of pre-determined food.

Based on the current grain price in Shuntian Prefecture, the grain cost is 1.4 million taels.

This is not much, Chongzhen gave it to him.

Even if he adds the expenses of the military and civilians who transported grain to their salaries, he can still pay 1 million.

If the number of casualties exceeds 50,000, how much does the pension need?

5 million taels (about 3.3 billion yuan)!

This can also be given.

Even if the military consumption is taken into account, 1 million taels can still be paid according to the current money he has!

Including the normal salary of more than 200,000 troops, 1 million taels, and the pension for injured soldiers, is calculated as 1 million taels.

The total of about 9.4 million taels (about 6.2 billion yuan).

He can afford all these, after all, I copied a lot of money in Nanjing last year.

Even if we need to provide disaster relief to Datong and Kaifeng, and continue to support Shaanxi, the national treasury is still rich!

However, this is not how the whole game is played.

The consequences of war are not just the consumption of war itself.

War, politics, and people's livelihood are all one.

War will inevitably involve politics and will inevitably affect people's livelihood.

If you win, it would be fine. Once a stalemate occurs, you must continue to invest.

There is one of the most important issues here. If the military and political affairs have not completely resolved, they will continue to invest in war. Most of the time, military rations and salary will not arrive at the front line, but will be corrupted by bureaucrats.

Once this happens, there will be no continuous combat. Even if the front line is strong, the logistics cannot keep up, and it will still be impossible to fight.

Do you know why Huo Qubing and Wei Qing are so capable of fighting?

In addition to their own tactics and first-class strategies, behind it is Emperor Wu of Han who has devoted his country's efforts to provide logistical support to them.

In the Battle of Mobei, 100,000 Han troops crossed the desert and entered Mobei, while 400,000 were mobilized.

Most of these 400,000 died in the desert.

This is war!

Why do historical books give Zhuge Liang so high? Those strategists who are only good at talking are not at the same level as Zhuge Liang, because Zhuge Liang is a versatile talent in planning and can solve logistics and mobilization problems well.

And if this continued war with Huang Taiji ended up with huge consumption and no victory or defeat was seen, there would be a large-scale withdrawal of troops in the court in Beijing.

At that time, it was not something that an emperor could suppress.

It is okay to suppress it, but it may be the next Yang Guang.

So to sum up: what is fighting is logistics.

Logistics reflects a country's comprehensive strength, which involves transportation, administration, grain production, economic vitality, etc.

As long as the logistics is awesome, even if the front line is defeated once or twice, it will not be a problem, and you can't fight to change your coach.

But if the logistics is not strong enough, it will be useless to call Yue Fei and Huo Qubing back.

In this way, it is very risky to fight Huang Taiji with your current strength.

Once the situation enters a rigid situation, the dormant opposition parties in the country will inevitably take advantage of the situation.

Therefore, the current strategy of the Northern Line is still mainly focused on maintaining stability. When the domestic reactionaries are suppressed, they will begin to further consolidate the goals of the first decade plan.

The Ming Dynasty was never beaten and abolished by Jiannu, nor was it destroyed by Li Zicheng, but was committed to death by himself.

It can also be explained by the dynasty's three hundred years of lifespan. At this time, interest groups will not fall.

Chongzhen wrote very attentively, and even wrote down what kind of person he needed to use every step.

Soon, Tian Xiuying suddenly came, and she was in a hurry.

"Husband, husband."

"What's wrong?" Looking at Tian Xiuying's anxious and anxious look, Chongzhen immediately became a little nervous.

"Husband, look at these manuscripts of me, how do you see?"

"Manuscript?" Chongzhen took it and looked like.

He couldn't help but be stunned, this...

What a romance novel!

And he is actually a novel that little girls like to read by the "domineering president falls in love with me" type!

Tian Xiuying actually wrote such a piece in the harem!

Chongzhen did tell Li Yan recently that the Ministry of Rites would make a plan to encourage the development of literature among the people, but the premise is to review manuscripts well. All first-page books must be reviewed by the official before printing the first edition.

For this reason, Li Yan is still busy developing the review system of Beijing News Agency.

Unexpectedly, Tian Xiuying responded to the call of the times so quickly?

No wonder, since the imperial court started to run newspapers, novels have been popular among the people, but now they are even more popular.

It is said that a section was also left in Beijing Daily to provide a special section for several well-known authors.

Every once in a while, after the newly serialized content is released, it will be used by the newspaper as a key gimmick to sell.

Tian Xiuying also bought "Da Ming Daily" to follow the serial, but felt that she was not satisfied with chasing it, so she actually wrote it herself.

While slapping Chongzhen's back, Tian Xiuying said nervously: "Husband, look at how I write, do you have the urge to continue reading?"

"Xiuying, this is unreasonable. A young and promising monarch fell in love with an ordinary, kind little girl, Liang. Why did she fall in love with her at first sight? It took a long time to fall in love? This is unreasonable."

Tian Xiuying snatched the manuscript: "I won't show it to you, I'll go and show it to Queen Yi'an."

Chongzhen: Haha, a woman's face has changed like a book!

Chongzhen smiled and shook his head, not caring too much.

He hoped that his harem would be more relaxed and happy, without so many rules and regulations, after all, he was a person from the 21st century.

Wang Chengen was no longer surprised when he was there, and even wanted to laugh.

Soon, Li Yan came.

"Your Majesty, the edict to ask the prince to go to Nanjing has been issued for more than a month. At present, only the King of Tang has replied to the Ministry of Rites and said that he must follow the emperor's edict and arrive on time."
