My Daming New Empire

"What is a concubine?"

Liang Hu didn't know what the concubine said in Rose's language, so he said, "Little wife."

Nina happily put her arms around his neck and asked him, "Do you want to marry me as your wife?"

"It's not my wife, it's my little wife..."

But obviously Nina couldn't tell what was a wife and what was a concubine. From then on, she became more considerate and gentle to Liang Hu, and let Liang Hu taste all the tenderness.

However, the cruelest battle soon began.

After figuring out the opponent's arrangement, the Ming army mobilized troops specifically for the weak point of defense.

Covered by shelling and superior force, the enemy's defensive front quickly collapsed under Daming's firepower.

The Donetsk mining area in Ukraine has been the largest iron ore mining area in the world for a long time.

Moreover, this place is different from other mining areas. It is neither a mountainous area, nor are the veins hidden underground.

It is more like volcanoes hidden underground, and the craters exposed on the ground are iron mines.

Between the iron mines is fertile farmland, so the mines are on flat ground.

After the enemy's defense line between these mining areas was breached by the Ming army, it quickly collapsed.

Although Zheng Ying was not a famous general of the previous generation, he had one of the most capable staff in Ming Dynasty.

According to the layout of the mining areas, the Ming army quickly occupied one mining area after another with the help of the strong and the weak.

As for those soldiers who guarded against danger, the reinforcements they had relied on could not hide from the eyes of the Air Force.Although there were more of them, they were caught in a dilemma and lost ground back and forth.

After more and more mining areas were captured, they just wanted to escape, and it was too late.

The massacres one after another have dyed the mining areas red, whether it is Lithuanians, Poles, or Germans, they are now retreating.

When they left the defense system of the mining area, no matter how many soldiers there were, they could only become the souls of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

On December [-]th, the pursuing soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fought a two-day battle with the struggling company soldiers on the east bank of the Dnieper River in Kiev.

In this battle, more than [-] coalition soldiers were killed or injured, while the casualties of Ming soldiers were less than [-], and most of them were wounded by the opponent's artillery.

Less than an hour after the enemy's local artillery showed its power, Daming's artillery, according to the instructions of the hang gliding soldiers, smashed the artillery position that the opponent had arranged for half a month into pieces.

Moscow has fallen, and with this battle, everyone has completely lost the will to resist.

The Lithuanians have completely abandoned Kiev, they dare not stay in Kiev at all.The Poles and Germans fled in haste before the Lithuanians.

Dozens of descendants of the Rurik Dynasty appeared in the chaotic Kiev for a while, all claiming to be the orthodox heirs of Kievan Rus, and then surrendered to Ming Dynasty.

They also sent out an invitation to ask Ming soldiers to go to Kiev to maintain order and spend the cold winter.

This made Zheng Ying, who was chasing him, a little confused. He imagined that he would face more determined resistance in Kiev. Who would have thought that now he would be regarded as a savior.

After hesitating for a day, he tentatively sent a car soldier into the city.

These soldiers encountered no resistance, and were even happily welcomed into the city.

After a few days of investigation, everyone figured out the relationship between Lithuania and the original Rurik Dynasty. The original huge Principality of Kiev can be regarded as annihilated.

However, because of the stubborn resistance of the Kiev people, the Lithuanians did not completely annex the Principality of Kiev.

Now, the Kiev people regard the Daming people as their saviors.

At this time, the Ming army officially entered the city. The oldest capital of the Ross people has completely become the spoils of war for the Ming people.

However, throughout the whole winter, Zheng Ying was caught in the farce of the complicated dispute over the heirs of the Rurik dynasty. Dozens of heirs wanted to compete for the throne, and it seemed that only Zheng Ying had the right to decide the position.

But Zheng Ying didn't dare to be self-reliant, and passed the news to Tang Sai'er in Moscow, and Tang Sai'er was even more afraid to touch this matter, and asked someone to pass the news back to Daming.

In Yingtianfu, Zhu Zhanji was hesitating whether to continue the Western Expedition.Because this war has already affected Daming's own economic development.

Because of the war, Ming's industry and logistics were all inclined to war, which led to deformed prosperity.

If the war is allowed to continue, prosperity will continue during the war.But the longer the delay, the greater the danger it will cause when it ends.

Although the current economy is still very backward, but because of the war, it may lead to the first economic crisis in history, so we have to be vigilant.

Chapter 33 Two Treatments

In such a backward economic environment today, the economic crisis has never been considered by Zhu Zhanji, because he initially believed that the current economic environment could not cause an economic crisis.

The most critical point is that today's society is still implementing a gold and silver physical currency policy.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also had the Ministry of Internal Affairs to control the production resources of the entire society. It belonged to the era of planned economy. How could there be an economic crisis?

However, Zhu Zhanji overlooked one point, that is, the Ministry of Internal Affairs controls too many resources. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs' buttocks are crooked, the crisis caused is no less than a real economic crisis.

Yes, today's economic crisis or not a real economic crisis, no inflation, no deflation, no financial credit crisis.

But today's Ministry of Internal Affairs controls the allocation of important resources in the entire world. When the Ministry of Internal Affairs is crooked, it will lose its balance.

This imbalance is a waste of productivity, a waste of production resources, and a setback for the entire Ming economy.

Now, for the sake of the Western Expedition, the Ming Dynasty has devoted half of the country's resources to war, resulting in false economic prosperity.

If the war does not stop, this crisis will not appear, but if it stops, it will be discovered that the country's economy is out of balance due to the waste of productivity and production resources.

From a small point of view, for example, the former big iron and steel smelting is one example.

In a big way, this is a bit like the Soviet Union in history.

Moreover, the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was given by Zhu Zhanji, and the road was also designated by Zhu Zhanji, so no one else could be blamed for this matter, only Zhu Zhanji was responsible.

Now, because of the large amount of munitions production, steel, rubber, and food demand, many people have boarded this express train.

If there are too many vested interests, even if Zhu Zhanji wants to stop the war, he will have to continue the war because of the general trend.

However, this vested interest is at the expense of Daming's stability, which is not worth the candle.

For Zhu Zhanji, it doesn't matter if Ming's development is slower, anyway, no country in this world can pose a threat to Ming.

For the ruler of a huge empire, nothing is more important than the stability and prosperity of Ming Dynasty.

The Western Expedition is to eliminate the future threat of Ming Dynasty, but if it is for the future and the current foundation is unstable, the loss outweighs the gain.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Zhanji needs to weigh whether or not Xizheng should continue.

The 42nd year of the orthodox Spring Festival came just as Zhu Zhanji hesitated.
