Could it be that the Ming officials are confused? Of course not, including several elders in the court, they all have a mirror in their hearts. What else can they do, they can't fight and fight, even if they are the most powerful border troops now, they are sent to Liaodong and the Far East to fight, it is not enough for people to stuff their teeth. If they really tore their faces and provoked the Far East, they would march into the Central Plains, and what would the Ming Dynasty do to resist.

In the late Ming Dynasty, with the rapid development of the commodity economy in the south of the Yangtze River, the society in Jiangsu and Zhejiang appeared in the bud of capitalism, and a large amount of social wealth was accumulated, and the scale of capitalism in China was larger than that of the rest of the world at that time.

The ruling class, accustomed to singing and dancing, is lifeless in its sluggish life, and its pioneering spirit is gone, and it has degenerated into a veritable rat and moth in society. The annual offerings of the royal family and the feudal kings in various places were a very large financial expense, which caused a heavy burden on the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, it was the Xiaoice River period, and the northern part of Daming caught up with the famine for many years. This creates a strange phenomenon. Several northern provinces are starving everywhere, and everyone is killing each other, while the provinces south of the Yangtze River are singing and dancing, prosperous and rich.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the fuse of the peasant uprising was northern Shaanxi, and then it spread throughout Shaanxi and Henan, and now the situation in the Ming Dynasty has reached the point where it is becoming more and more out of control.

The northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty because of the disaster and famine that have not been encountered in a hundred years, the situation has been close to erosion, and many of the thieves who were pacified before have resurfaced, engulfing a large number of displaced people to attack the city and plunder the land in the north of the Ming Dynasty, wreaking havoc.

But at this time, the Mongolian Tatars in the northern steppes began to move again, dragging the border army on the nine sides. Although the Ming Dynasty sent a large number of generals, they exterminated the thieves in several northern provinces. Although Chongzhen issued several holy decrees one after another, the situation of clearing the thieves in various places was still unsatisfactory.

The treasury of the imperial court household department is empty, and the rats can run away. Where did the money come from for disaster relief? With such a serious financial crisis in the Ming Dynasty, the world's commercial taxes still cannot be collected normally, and those consortia controlled by the scholar group would rather watch the empire fall than sacrifice their own interests.

Many far-sighted people in Daming have seen the ups and downs of Daming's broken ship. The Far East, on the other hand, is full of prosperity. For these unscrupulous scholars, of course, they must make preparations with both hands, so as to save the Central Plains from losing the opportunity to follow the new dragon dynasty after the drastic changes.

Wu Xiang's father and son of the Guanning Army are now like supernumerary troops in the Far East, all of them are looking forward to the Far East. Recently, when he heard that the Far East was short of food, Wu Xiang immediately mobilized all his connections to help the Far East raise food everywhere. Even if Emperor Daming issued a holy decree, I have never seen him so active.

The other leaders of the Nine Border Military Towns. Not to be outdone. This year, the Mongolian Tatars in the northern steppes were about to move, and they all guessed the reason, but these treacherous and cunning soldiers all pretended not to know what was going on. And they all sent people to make contact with the Far East, thinking of leaving a way back for themselves.

The Far Eastern Company's intelligence station in the Central Plains wantonly collected displaced people on both sides of the Yellow River, and how could such a big matter be concealed from the local government. But these Ming government masters are also like blind people. I just can't see it. Not only pretending not to see, but also mobilizing local forces to actively cooperate.

A large number of displaced people gathered in various places. It will cause a popular uprising at any time, and the Far East will help them to collect the displaced people, and of course they can't ask for it. But the main reason is that they do not want to make enemies with the Far East. These officials and masters of the Ming Dynasty have all been in contact with the Far East Central Plains Intelligence Station, and most of them are under the pretext of doing business with the Far East, not to leave an impression on the Far East Company.

Maybe even Chongzhen knows the mystery. But the way Da Ming is now, no matter how diligent he is, how can he prevent the collapse of the empire. In the face of the profound social contradictions accumulated by the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, he was also powerless.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty tried its best to defeat the Houjin Tartars. It took only a few months for the Far East to sweep through Liaodong. Later, the Golden Tartars were almost killed by the Far East. In the past, the northern grasslands that had exhausted the brains of successive Central Plains dynasties were now also bloodied by the Far Eastern columns.

As for the colorful tiger entrenched in Haidong, maybe even if Chongzhen knew that the Far East would inevitably show its fangs in the future, I am afraid that he would be like the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, and he could only face it with an ostrich mentality.

In addition, what else can he do, send troops to attack the Far East, that is to find death, wait and see what happens, and let the Far East become bigger, that is to wait for death. Now even if Zhu Yuanzhang comes back to life, in the face of the stormy Daming, he will be sleepless all night and entangled.

Half a month later, the company's inspection team ended the inspection trip to the Luliangshan base area. In fact, the original trip was only seven days. However, everyone found a lot of refreshing things in the Luliangshan base area.

The work of accepting displaced people in Liaodong has been going on for several years, but the mental outlook of the displaced people in Liaodong is somewhat worse than that of the Luliangshan base area. Although the work of the camp in eastern Liaodong is also well organized, it is full of the atmosphere of an industrialized assembly line, and I always feel that some warmth is missing.

Although the materials and personnel in the Luliangshan base area are extremely scarce, and the living conditions of the displaced people in the base area are also very difficult, and there is a considerable gap between the housing conditions and the food standards compared with the Far East, the leading group of the base area led by Li Ming has not only made the Luliangshan base area impressive, but also created an atmosphere full of warmth and affection in the base area.

As a matter of fact, since the beginning of the construction of the base area, Li Ming and a group of members of the Standing Committee of the base area management committee have been well aware of the difficulties faced by the Luliangshan base area. The lack of adequate management personnel, the lack of materials, and the food problem of tens of thousands of displaced people are like a big mountain, pressing on their hearts all the time and giving them great pressure.

Therefore, Li Ming put forward the slogan of "starting from me and working hard", calling on all employees of the company in the base area to work hard in a down-to-earth manner and carry forward the hard and simple work style. Most of the time, whether it is the Standing Committee of the management committee, the internal employees of the company and the immigrant employees, go down to the grassroots squadron, go to the front line in person, and eat and live with the displaced people.

He even went out to exercise with the homeless people, lined up to eat together, and participated in political studies together. He also took the initiative to chat with them, personally gave lectures to them, and organized everyone to participate in various colorful cultural and sports activities.

The internal employees of the company who came to Daming with Li Ming this time are all relatively marginalized people in the company. Although the ability is average, there is a lack of sufficient grassroots work experience. However, everyone is extremely enthusiastic about their work, and they hope to make some achievements in the Luliangshan base area. (To be continued......)
