Hangzhou Prefecture, ten days ago, when Wu Zheng insisted on nailing Huai'an City, it had already declared a state of war.

The King of Wu was in danger and the two guards were trapped. This was a disaster for the entire General's Mansion.

All disputes became no longer important at this time. Moreover, under Wu Zheng's rule, there was no significant internal dispute. The reason was very simple. Wu Zheng never chose dissidents. To put it simply, he was not a fellow student, so please go home and work.

The first reaction of such a political force when he encounters danger to the king is to mobilize the whole nation.

Difficulties, all differences, and in this kind of general mobilization atmosphere, it becomes no longer important, so difficulties are no longer difficult.

Financial distress? No problem, don’t sway your sleeves and retract all the manpower and material resources that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce can use to enter the war material reserves.

Does anyone dare to object?

No! Not to mention resisting.

Even if a person who treats wealth as his life does not dare to resist the government's war mobilization at this time, because that is seeking death!

Insufficient troops?

Zhang Guowei and Xiong Rulin quickly started the second wave of temporary recruitment in the name of the General's Mansion (the first wave was the King's Order of Wu Zheng before the war). The twelve prefectures (excluding Taizhou, Taixing, and Tongzhou, which are on the battlefield). Any male rank who is fifteen years old and under forty years old is in the list of recruitment, and this post is larger. Now the population of the twelve prefectures is tens of millions, and even ten people per person, there are nearly one million. Although one million people will not be recruited, the General's Mansion cannot provide such a huge army, but this conscript order will have a huge impact on the later stage.

The issuance of this conscript order made no one under his jurisdiction mention laws such as "no one's son's charge", "no one's father's charge of son's charge", and "no one's brother's charge of brothers charge", because this is called urgent power.

Songjiang Military Workshop, the gunpowder workshop destroyed by artillery fire, has been repaired and put into normal production, but this is not important, because in just half a month, Mo Zheng Nian expanded the gunpowder workshop with 30,000 manpower at the same time, and three firearms workshops each. In other words, the military Workshop now has six gunpowder workshops and six firearms workshops.

There is a saying that when facing life and death, as long as there is no shortage of manpower and material resources, there is nothing that cannot be done.

The General's Mansion, Wu Bochang and Qian Jinxuan, as the father and princess of the King of Wu, took the initiative to observe politics.

Today's topic is whether to force the levy. In Hangzhou, Songjiang and Wusong Ports (Wusong is not affiliated with Songjiang Prefecture, but Suzhou Prefecture, and Baoshan Prefecture is also under the jurisdiction of Wu Zheng, it is indeed because of Wu Zheng's dominance. This originated from the exchange of interests between the two when Wang Zhiren formed the new navy four years ago).

Today, the average daily throughput of the two major ports has reached tens of thousands of stones, especially Wusong Port, which even exceeded 100,000 stones at peak.

Due to Wu Zheng's "indulgence", the port's reserves reached an astonishing level.

At this time, sea transportation was slow, and both foreign merchants and Ming merchants were basically stocking up in ports. Only after reaching a level of magnitude could a huge caravan be formed to go to sea, which was both convenient and cost-saving.

Therefore, it goes without saying that Mo Zhinian, who was a businessman, even a gentleman like Zhang Guowei and Xiong Rulin have long been staring at the materials hoarded by the two ports.

But this matter is too much involved. The current merchants are not the merchants in the early Ming Dynasty or the Yongle and Xuande periods.

Not to mention that countries far away in Europe have powerful maritime fleets, just in the South China Sea, the Dutch Red Hair still occupies the Eastern Fence, with a total of no less than a thousand warships.

A little further away, notoriously, the British East India Company, granted a royal license by Emperor Elizabeth I, has entered the Strait of Malacca. They began to challenge the Dutch red-haired monopoly spice trade, and their warships also reached a peak, with more than 1,200 ships.

Therefore, at this time, it is very risky to force the recruitment of the people and materials from the two major ports.

This is how today the four giants of the General's Mansion sit together to discuss countermeasures, plus Wu Bochang and Qian Jinxuan, there are a total of six people.

Zhang Guowei and the other two discussed for a long time but could not reach a consensus.

This is indeed difficult to deal with. Once the forced requisition is triggered by the rebound of the nations, it is likely to be another war and the General's Mansion cannot withstand the test of another war.

But if the general's mansion is not forced to conquer, then the general's mansion will not be able to continue the current war.

The donation of the people and the expropriation of wealthy merchants and wealthy families alone are not enough to support the war in Jiangbei where nearly 200,000 people are involved in the war. Moreover, the newly recruited 60,000 new recruits still need equipment. At this time, the military workshop was even more wealthy and difficult to buy raw materials for production, which greatly restricted the output of the military workshop.

Just when everyone was in a daze, Qian Jinxuan, who had been listening silently, said this, "Dad, my husband, can the General's Mansion survive if he encounters an accident? Since the matter has reached the worst level, how can he ask me, how can he be broken?"

This sentence made Wu Bochang first agree, and he also said, "If you choose between the world and my son, I will choose my son!"

With these two endorsements, who else can raise an objection? Who dares to raise an objection?

Once Wu Zheng is really unpredictable, it is to murder the Lord!

So, the Tiqi cavalry went out everywhere, and the Northern Expedition Army quickly dispatched overnight, forcibly blocked the two major ports, and announced that all supplies were temporarily requisitioned by the General's Mansion until the end of the war.

....

Compared with the forced foreign merchant supplies, Wu Bochang and Qian Jinxuan were even more upset about another thing.

This matter is big, big!

It's small, but also small.

Huang Yingyun, the poor scholar who once ate in front of Wu Zheng, once again went to Hangzhou on the order of Li Dingguo.

But this time, he was obviously different. He was not only the envoy of King Jin, but also the envoy of the Emperor Yongli.

The number of missions that followed him was not large, and if there were too many people, they would be blocked by Tartars.

There were only five people in the mission. Apart from Huang Yingyun, the most conspicuous ones were a fifteen-year-old boy and a thirteen-year-old girl.

After changing into brocade clothes, Huang Yingyun realized his purpose and married him!

Who is marrying whom?

Emperor Yongli ordered that King Jin and King Wu marry.

What is the chaos in this world?

The key to the marriage between the prince and the prince is that although they are not in the same dynasty, they are both in the Yongli Dynasty and the Yixing Dynasty under the Ming Dynasty.

More importantly, both kings are princes.

The most important thing is that the woman who wants to marry is the thirteen-year-old girl, Li Dingguo's eldest daughter, Li Haiyue.

The most important thing is that if the main person is not here, who will decide whether to accept the marriage?

Zhang Guowei, Xiong Rulin, and Zhang Huangyan, don’t be obsessed with it. At this "critical" time, they all chose to avoid it, and called it busy wars.
