When I went to Ningbo, the willows were budding, and the peasants wore hats and robes to plough the land in the fields.

When I came back, the paddy fields on both sides of the canal were already green and green, and most of the farmers were moving out with their families, holding wooden sticks in the fields.

Cultivation, cultivation, in later generations, many people no longer know what is going on in the fields;

It's a very tiring job. After the seedlings are planted and turn green for a period of time, the grass in the field also grows;

People have to go down to the field with wooden sticks, and while weeding, they poke their feet into the mud and drag them along the rows of seedlings to let the mud turn up and cover the roots of the seedlings.

When another row of footprint nests appears, the fertilizer water in the field will flow into these footprint nests, reducing the area of water exposed to direct sunlight, so that the fertilizer water evaporation in the field will be reduced, and the seedlings can be provided with water for a longer time.

Qin Mu also occasionally stopped the boat and chatted with the old farmers who were cultivating the fields.

Maybe it's really providence, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were continuous floods and droughts, and disasters and famines continued for years;

But after the death of the Ming Dynasty, the climate became very good in the past two years, and the wind and rain were smooth;

Ordinary people attribute this phenomenon to Qin Mu, believing that it was after the appearance of him, a benevolent monarch, that brought such a good year.

In later generations, it would be absurd to attribute the good weather to someone.

But in this era, it is very common, there is a famine in the world, and the people will think that this is the emperor's immorality, and God sent a famine to the world as a punishment.

The emperor wanted to avoid the palace and reduce food, open his speech to reflect on his mistakes, and pray for forgiveness from heaven.

On the contrary, there was a good year, and the people would also think that it was the emperor's benevolence.

Qin Mu secretly suffered, indeed, he should thank God, the Xiaoice River period is over.

There is no pollution in these years, and the water in the south of the Yangtze River is clear and shining. Soft as a mirror.

The splash of the plough at the bow of the ship is white and flawless, and flocks of white cranes fly in the fields, two or three miles, four or five chimneys, six pavilions, and eighty or ninety flowers. In the eye, it is an idyllic painting.

Qin Mu, Yang Shen, and Jin Gongnan put wine on the bow of the boat, and drank with the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River on both sides of the river.

Yang Shen pondered for a while and said: "King Qin, Jiannu is very unaccustomed to the hot summer of the Central Plains, and there is often a phenomenon of not adapting to the water and soil. One more point. Due to the difference in climate between the north and the south, the harvest time of summer grain is also different. In general, the farther south, the earlier the summer grain is harvested, for example, the summer harvest in the south of the Yangtze River is half a month or even nearly a month earlier than that in Huaibei. ”

Yang Shen's words made Qin Mu suddenly come to his senses, and he asked, "Yang Qing means to take advantage of the difference in the time of summer harvest in various places. Northern Expedition during this time? ”

"Yes, King Qin, the minister thinks that this plan is a good strategy, and now whether it is Great Qin or Jiannu, they are short of food. Dolgon was a man of great talent, and last year he ordered the Qing army not to disturb the people, and also strongly encouraged the people to farm, and this year the north is also in good weather. After the summer grain was harvested, the Qing army was no longer short of grain, which was very unfavorable to our army's Northern Expedition. ”

Qin Mu felt that what Yang Shen said was very reasonable. In Fujian, southern Huguang, which is now controlled by Great Qin, the summer harvest is at least one month earlier than in the north;

If you can take advantage of this time difference, when the summer grain in the south is about to be harvested, the northern expedition will be carried out one month in advance, at this time, the Qin army's grain and grass can be supplied, while the Qing army's summer grain has not yet been harvested, and it is in the most difficult moment of green and yellow.

Take advantage of your illness to kill you.

Daqin now has no shortage of weapons, no shortage of morale, only lack of grain and grass, and it is not completely impossible to make up the grain and grass for the Northern Expedition, but if a large amount of grain and grass is reluctantly requisitioned, it will lead to high grain prices in the market, which will make the lives of many lower-class people fall into difficulties.

If the grain and grass of the Northern Expedition are requisitioned when the summer grain is about to be harvested, and the grain price in the market has just risen, the grain price in the south will soon be stabilized, so that the lower classes of the people will not be affected too much, and they will be able to rush to the Northern Expedition before the summer harvest in the north.

When he was in Ningbo, Qin Muji planned to send sailors to attack Luzon first, and even take the entire Nanyang, and then go on a northern expedition.

Besides, Dolgon was indeed a man of great talent, and introduced many policies to reduce the burden on the people, and many fields in the rotten north were restored to farming.

If the northern expedition takes advantage of the approaching summer harvest in the north, the grain and grass in the north will fall into their own hands, and then some grain will be transferred from the south, which should ensure that the people will not starve to death.

In other words, it should not be a problem to go on the Northern Expedition first, and then seize the South Seas to transfuse blood to the North, and even the two can be carried out at the same time, Spain and the Netherlands do not have many troops in the South Seas, and it should be enough for the naval division to dispatch 10,000 or 20,000 people, so that the impact on the Northern Expedition will not be great.

"What do you think of North Korea?"

"King Qin, Jiannu even lost, constantly draw troops to the south, the control of North Korea has been very weak, the minister thinks, can let the organization of merchant ships, escorted by some naval warships, 10,000 army sent to North Korea, help North Korea get rid of the control of Jiannu, and then use North Korea as a logistics place, and unite the North Korean army to enter the deputy Liaodong, the Qing army is now demoralized, if the north and south are enemy, our army will be more smooth when the northern expedition."

Jin Gongnan also said: "I heard that although Jiang Jiu of Datong was defeated and lost Datong, there were still more than 10,000 troops who retreated into the area of Taihang Mountain to insist on resisting the Qing Dynasty. The minister thought that he would not be able to send someone to contact Jiang Hao to see if he was willing to return to Daqin and cooperate with our army's Northern Expedition. ”

Qin Mu smiled bitterly: "It's not that I don't have contact, this king has already sent someone, but Jiang Huang probably took the wrong medicine, and only recognized Zhu Youlang from Guangxi." ”

Yang Shen sneered: "Jiang Hao is capricious in nature, he is by no means sincere to follow Zhu Youlang, the minister thinks that he has felt that Daqin is far away from the fire and can't help him, and secondly, he pretends to be a gesture, just to get more benefits from Daqin." ”

"This king knows the truth, but these lions open their mouths, it's just that, Daqin still expects him to fail, without him, my Daqin Wang Shi can also sweep the Central Plains."

Yang Shen said with a smile: "What King Qin said is extremely true, a while ago, Teng Jitai of the Sunit Department led less than 3,000 men and horses from the headquarters, and he was able to enter the realm of no one and kill all the way back to the outside of the pass, which shows that Jiannu is extremely weak. ”

It can't be said that Tengier did not aim to attack the city and seize the land, relying on the speed of the cavalry, avoiding the heavy and light, and the Mongol tribes turned a blind eye to him, closed their eyes, and intended to let him go, so he stood out outside the pass, which does not mean that the Manchu Qing were vulnerable. When our army went on a northern expedition, it had to attack city by city, and it couldn't be compared."

When Qin Mu said this, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow flying from the top of the hatch of the ship, he raised his hand to block it, and the wine in the cup was spilled into the river, Yang Shen and Jin Gongnan were shocked, "King Qin!" ”

Qin Mu waved his hand at this time, his face was extremely embarrassed;

Because he could already see that the black shadow that flew by was a swallow, and it flew two feet away from him, and it was very fast!

He laughed self-deprecatingly: "Yan opera is a widow, and a widow is immoral? ”

"Non-yes, non-yes, my king Ze is covered with all things, Yan Xizhi, a cut of the spring breeze to send my king."

"Hahaha, Yang Qing, you hahaha, don't make sycophants in the future."

There was a burst of laughter from the bow of the boat, a river with clear water, thousands of stacks of spring breeze, and the cappella of the mulberry picker faintly came from the shore, and the soft Wu Nong's soft words floated across the water, like soft water.

Qin Mu poured a new full wine, drank a glass, looked at the clear mountains and green waters on both sides of the strait, full of greenery, this incomparably beautiful spring in the south of the Yangtze River, he couldn't help but be poetic, and chanted loudly: "Jiangnan is good, the scenery is old, the sunrise river flowers are red, and the spring river is as green as blue, and the three armed forces are busy!" ”

Yang Shen and Jin Gongnan looked strange, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Yang Shen raised his glass and said: "Respect the King of Qin, my king's Northern Expedition this time will definitely be like a bamboo, and in one fell swoop, he will recover his homeland in China, and chase Hu Hu away thousands of miles away." ”

"No, this king wants to let Hu Lu come and go without returning, and annihilate him in the Great Wall."

Qin Mu really had this intention, after all, once the Jurchens retreated outside the gate, it would be like letting the tiger return to the mountain, and it would be difficult to sweep it away. It is not easy to achieve this strategic intent, and it must be carefully planned.

Jin Gongnan said: "King Qin, it is not impossible to annihilate Hu Lu within the Great Wall. ”

"If Gongnan has any good plan, come quickly."
