After Xiao Tianjian left Beijing, he went south along the canal, and saw that with the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the situation along the canal was also rapidly stabilizing, and after the large and Chinese army along the line increased the clearance, the safety of shipping on the canal could basically be guaranteed.

In addition, along the way was previously silted up some sections of the river, the officials of the large and middle army in various places are also calling the people to carry out dredging and dredging, so that the canal shipping resumes quickly, all the way south, you can see a large number of southern boats end to end, is along the canal north, a large number of material resources continue to be transported into the north, even some Jianghuai businessmen, also saw the business opportunities, began to hire ships, some of the southern materials to the north to sell, in order to obtain profits, for Xiao Tianjian, It's a good phenomenon.

Although over the years, Xiao Tianjian has robbed some businessmen, and even robbed the family and destroyed the door, but Xiao Tianjian did not think about it, so the world's rich businessmen and landlords were wiped out, the prosperity of a country, the small peasant economy alone is not enough, business plays a vital role in the prosperity of the country, so although he rebelled, robbed a lot of businessmen, but that is also a last resort, after all, he has to maintain the operation of so many soldiers and horses, and he does not rely on robbing in the early stage. can't survive, not to mention that when he robbed some big businessmen, he didn't have any guilt, behind the big businessmen in this era, there were all standing one or even a group of dignitaries, and their wealth accumulation could be said to have been completed through criminal means, and now Xiao Tianjian used it to rebel, so it was not too much.

But for the small merchants and hawkers, he still tried his best to protect them, and after every time he went to the city, the robbery was basically targeted and organized, and there were few incidents for ordinary people or small merchants and hawkers, and as long as the city stabilized a little, he had to encourage the traders to resume business immediately, and also try to give some support, so that commerce and handicrafts could recover faster.

And this era must not underestimate the ability of these small merchants and hawkers, some of them can often seize the opportunity, quickly get the first pot of gold to grow, these people's ability should not be underestimated, they can increase the circulation of materials in various places, and through their management, the handicraft industry is also driven up at the same time, and some of the idle labor in the society are absorbed, in addition to allowing the large and middle Koreas to collect taxes, the hidden harvest is greater, that is, as soon as possible, some idle people who have lost their land can find a way to eat, completely settled.

On the one hand, he confiscated the land of high-ranking officials and nobles and relatives of the emperor to remove the moth-eaten society from the body, so that the land could be returned to the hands of ordinary people, so that in addition to gaining the hearts of the people, a large number of landless peasants were also resettled, so that they could return to the land, re-fixed, control their mobility, and restore social stability. At the same time, the agricultural economy, which has been severely damaged by natural disasters and wars, can be quickly restored, and the land abandoned by the war can be quickly restored, providing people with more and more adequate food supply.

This can be seen from the three or four years after he controlled Henan, although the climate impact of the Xiaoice River period still exists, Henan will still have drought or waterlogging from time to time, but under his governance, Henan basically no longer has a big chaos or starvation, the original large area of wasted land, was quickly distributed to the farmers displaced by natural and man-made disasters through various means, so the entire Henan throughout the agricultural has been rapidly restored, In addition, the popularization and planting of high-yield sweet potatoes and high-yield drought-tolerant corn, especially since last year, the grain produced in Henan has not only met the needs of the people in Henan, but has also begun to produce a large surplus, which has greatly supported the needs of the former criminal army.

And Huguang is not to mention, originally Huguang was less affected by the Xiaoice River period, the land is much more fertile than Henan, plus the climate is relatively smooth, the population is relatively dense, so since the big Chinese army controlled Huguang two years ago, Huguang's agricultural recovery is much better than Henan, this time the big Chinese army Northern Expedition, the food consumed, mainly from the Huguang area, if not for Huguang, the big Chinese army this scale of the Northern Expedition, simply could not be done, And that's not all, the grain produced by Huguang and Henan not only met the needs of the large Chinese army, but also transported a large number of people to the north, alleviating the war-stricken grain shortage in the north, and also played a vital role in Xiao Tianjian's rapid restoration of stability in the north after he took Beijing.

Of course, the Nanzhili area is also quite rich, and the grain output is quite not low, as long as the society settles down a little, the farmers in China who are diligent to the extreme, will immediately glow with huge productivity, and they will spontaneously and quickly devote themselves to their farmland, so don't look at the Nanzhili Xiao Tianjian control time is not long, but the speed of agricultural economic recovery in the Nanzhili area is several times faster than that of Henan, starting from this year's summer harvest, Food self-sufficiency was restored, and there was no longer a need for support from the Huguang area.

As for the northern part of Zhejiang, which was controlled by the Dazhong Army at the end of last year, needless to say, it was originally the richest place in China, and it suffered much less from the war than Henan, Huguang, Nanzhili, and the northern provinces.

So Xiao Tianjian took a boat along the way to the south, although he was in a hurry, but he still saw both sides of the canal, which was recovering from the war at a flying speed, and along the way he also learned that after entering September, the entire territory of Shandong was under the attack of Diao Zheng and the army, and it had been all controlled by Dazhong and North Korea, that is to say, by this time, the entire north had been controlled by Dazhong and North Korea except for the pass, and Xiao Tianjian basically had no worries about the north.

Moreover, after Diao Zheng completed the control of the entire territory of Shandong, he had also led some of his elite troops back to Henan, preparing to follow Liu Bao into Shaanxi to suppress Li Zicheng.

After Xiao Tianjian learned the news, he immediately issued an order to give Diao Zheng some encouragement as encouragement.

In this way, Xiao Tianjian went all the way south along the canal, and finally half a month later, he led Yu Linwei and Liu Yaoben's Second Guards Division back to the city of Nanjing where he set off.

The ministers of various departments in Nanjing learned the news of Xiao Tianjian's return to the division in advance, and hundreds of civil and military officials gathered at the dock in the north of Nanjing, and solemnly welcomed Xiao Tianjian into Nanjing City.

With the end of the Northern Expedition, Xiao Tianjian's prestige as the founding emperor of Dazhong can be said to be like the sky, dazzling people dare not look up, as the emperor of Dazhong, he worked tirelessly and took huge risks, personally led the army to drive the expedition, not only destroyed the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, but also successfully blocked the Jiannu back to the outside of the pass, it only took less than four months to pacify the north, such martial arts, although I dare not say that there is no one before the ancients, but it is enough to shine in the world.

Therefore, whether it is a civil servant or a military general, now they all admire their Emperor Xiao is the five-body surrender, and at the same time, the subjects of the Great Middle Dynasty are also reciting Xiao Tianjian's exploits everywhere.

If Xiao Tianjian only destroyed the Ming Dynasty this time, then for him, I am afraid it will not be enough for the world to look sideways, but Xiao Tianjian's most important achievement in this Northern Expedition is to completely defeat the Jiannu army at Shanhaiguan, which is the real motivation for these former Ming people to start their hearts in Dazhong.

The people of the world, for so many years, for the north of the Jiannu, bear a heavy burden, in order to deal with the Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty in order to deal with the slaves, constantly increase the salary, and increase the salary, so that the people of the world are miserable, and eventually led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, but now the new establishment of the Dazhong Dynasty is less than a year, the emperor Xiao Tianjian under the personal conquest, in one fell swoop reversed the disadvantage of the Han people who have no way to build slaves, and in one fell swoop the fierce Jiannu to a fall.

What a credit! Although some of the battles of the Northern Expedition this time were basically fought by the generals of the Great Chinese Army, the common people would not think so! In the eyes of the common people, this time the Northern Expedition of the Great Chinese Army can be fought so beautifully, it must be the credit of the emperor, so when Xiao Tianjian returned to Nanjing City by boat, not only the civil and military officials lined up on the dock to greet each other, but even tens of thousands of people and gentry and businessmen in the area of Nanjing City also rushed to the north of Nanjing City after hearing the news, and welcomed Xiao Tianjian, the new emperor of the martial arts world, and the soldiers who followed him to fight on both sides of the avenue.

After Xiao Tianjian got off the ship, the officials of the Ministry of Rites headed by Lu Weiqi presided over a grand celebration ceremony, and prepared a six-horse gold-colored dragon chariot for Xiao Tianjian, and asked Xiao Tianjian to take the dragon chariot back to Nanjing.

Although Xiao Tianjian didn't like luxury, he was kind to the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites, and after completing the ceremony, he stepped on this dragon chariot surrounded by the ministers.

Ancient Chinese heavy etiquette, etiquette is hierarchical, but also a symbol of identity, Lu Weiqi headed by the Ministry of Etiquette for Xiao Tianjian to prepare such a ceremony, but also for the sake of Xiao Tianjian's identity, now Xiao Tianjian's identity is no longer the original bandit leader, but has become the king of a country in the world, naturally can not be sloppy, especially this kind of etiquette, is also a kind of propaganda to highlight Xiao Tianjian's achievements, at this time, Xiao Tianjian even if he doesn't care, can not brush the hearts of the ministers.

And this time he returned to Nanjing City, it was also another opportunity to promote his merits, he had to do a lot of things next, if he couldn't establish enough majesty in the people and the court, I am afraid it would cause some trouble to many things he would do next, so of course Xiao Tianjian would not waste such an opportunity, strode onto this dragon chariot that symbolized the identity of the emperor to ride, and waved his hand: "Go back to the city!" ”

Hundreds of Yu Linwei this time did not be as low-key as before, this time the Ministry of Rites prepared a full set of emperor honor guards for Xiao Tianjian, so the Yu Linwei temporarily replaced all the new honor guards on the dock, originally with the opinion of the Ministry of Rites, but also prepared new clothes and armor for these Yu Linwei, but Xiao Tianjian did not agree to let Yu Linwei change into new clothes, so he wore the clothes and armor they had been wearing for the past half a year, and returned to the city with him.

The ministers were all smart people, and they immediately understood what Xiao Tianjian meant, and immediately removed the armor prepared for Yu Linwei, and let Yu Linwei wear these weathered clothes and armor, playing a full set of honor guards, and escorting Xiao Tianjian's dragon chariot in a grand atmosphere, and slowly walked towards Nanjing City.

The people on the side of the road, were stopped by the officers and soldiers on the side of the road, when they saw the emperor's guard of honor with the flags waving in front of them, hundreds of people saw at a glance these Yulin guards wearing old and even some tattered armor, and also saw these Yulin guards who walked in front of the road, all with a face full of wind and frost, but everyone, but there is a fierce atmosphere, as Xiao Tianjian's Yulin Guard, all of them are elite people selected from the army, Everyone can be said to have been trained in war to become Xiao Tianjian's guards, so when these Yulin guards wore these shabby clothes and armor and showed them in front of the people with a solemn attitude, the impact they brought to the people was definitely far greater than the feeling they felt when they put on new clothes and new armor.

This also made all the people who came to greet Xiao Tianjian understand one thing, their Emperor Majesty was by no means pretentious, and went to the north comfortably, just from the clothes and armor on these Yu Linwei, it can be seen how much they suffered in the Northern Expedition this time, how much suffering they suffered, and even some people saw some traces of knives and guns on the armor on the armor of individual Yu Linwei.

So the common people were even more shocked, even Yu Linwei had such scars on his body, so don't think about it, their emperor His Majesty must have also taken the lead in the most dangerous battlefield, so hundreds of people were immediately moved, thinking about their emperor, for the sake of the common people in the world, can do this, will they still be worried about living a stable life in the future?

So when hundreds of people saw Xiao Tianjian's dragon chariot appear behind Yu Linwei, they all knelt on the ground with sincerity, and began to shout long live, long live, long live......

Xiao Tianjian sat in the half-open dragon chariot, and he also did not change into the newly made dragon robe prepared for him by the Ministry of Rites, but continued to wear the short yellow embroidered dragon pattern he wore on the way back from the north, and habitually hung a treasure knife around his waist, which can really be said to be majestic, not angry and self-imposing, so that everyone had to sigh heartily again and again after seeing him, with this emperor, the peace of the world will be in front of you!
