In the traditional history of China, there have been many policy attempts in dealing with external vassals and border areas, among which the Duhufu is a very typical model, and the typical degree of this model is almost only implemented on a large scale in the Han and Tang dynasties.

When people think of the prosperity and power of the Han and Tang dynasties, they will associate the capital protection mansion together, from the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions Protectorate as the beginning, to the Tang Dynasty Andong, Dongyi, Anbei, Shan Yu, Anxi, Beiting, Kunling, Mengchi, Annan and other nine major capital protectorate for the prosperous era, and finally to the Northern Song Dynasty in the Hehuang area set up the Longyou Metropolitan Protectorate for the end, the connection between the capital and China has been completely severed.

What is the Togofu? In charge of the Wei Zhufan, Ji Ning Waikou, waiting for the treacherous, and conscripting the two. Long history, Sima Eryan. Zhu Cao, such as the office of the state capital.

To put it simply, it belongs to a means for the central government to intervene in remote places, and in fact it is also a kind of fetter system, but it is very different from the Tusi system in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

When the dynasty was strong, the capital protectorate naturally had no disadvantage, everyone had to give face, and whoever was disobedient could send troops to fight whom. However, once the dynasty declined, the influence of the Imperial Prefecture itself would be greatly affected, and it would be difficult to continue to maintain it.

When Ning Yu re-proposed to restore the capital protection mansion, Cui Wancai's mind instantly flashed back countless fragments, but in the end, it still came to reality, and said: "The capital protection mansion that Your Majesty said is not based on the Han and Tang dynasties? ”

Ning Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "If you directly copy the metropolitan protection model, it is naturally not my original intention, in fact, I think that the metropolitan protection model implemented today should be combined with the sub-feudal system, so that the foundation can be fully established." ”

"Partition system?" Cui Wancai couldn't help but tremble in his heart, this is not a trivial matter.

Ning Yu nodded and said: "The Zhou Dynasty is to establish the world with the feudal system, this system is not without merit, of course, it cannot be implemented in the current unified country, but in other places, it can be considered. ”

In the thousands of years of Chinese history, although the overall evolution from the sub-feudal system to the great unification system, this does not mean that the sub-feudal system has no advantages, nor does it mean that the great unification is a panacea - in fact, they all have their own advantages and disadvantages, especially in the expansion, which can fully reflect its characteristics.

To put it simply, when the traditional empire expands, it is not to fight directly and finish, but to establish its own political organization on the occupied territory, to adhere to a period of rule, and to achieve a balance of payments in the newly conquered areas in order to basically complete the annexation, and any problem in the middle of the step will lead to the loss of previous efforts.

In the process, the Great Unified State, because of its ruling center, was so far away from the newly incorporated lands that it was difficult to control accurately and in a timely manner under the existing conditions of communication. Once there is an emergency, the time to go back and forth will cause everything to be completely ruined.

Just like the example of the Ming Dynasty's conquest of Jiaozhi, everything went smoothly in the front, military occupation was carried out through military means, and the establishment of the Interweaving Political Envoy Division, but when it came to the actual rule, the rebellion of Jiaozhi itself has been continuous, and the revenue and expenditure have not been balanced, resulting in the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division always needing the assistance of the central government, and in the end it can only choose to give up.

Ning Yu said: "There are many ministers who want to turn Korea and Burma into counties, in my opinion, it is really impossible, if they are turned into counties, the system naturally needs to be on par with the Han land, which is not conducive to the balance of finance, and I must not do business at a loss." ”

Cui Wancai didn't agree with Xingjun County very much in his heart, but he often felt crying and laughing at the business experience that Emperor Ning often talked about, and said: "If it is for a thousand years, maybe it is not impossible to lose a little bit in the front........

"No, Cui Qing, you don't understand, once this business starts to lose money in the front, it will be even more difficult to let people invest money in the back......."

Ning Yu said with a meaningful face: "In my opinion, we have to treat North Korea or Myanmar as a business to do with the people of the whole country, only if we can make money from these two places, then the people will naturally support the fight, even if someone wants to give up, but if they lose money, it will be difficult to hold on." ”

Cui Wancai thought for a while and said, "Wechen still doesn't understand ....... much."

Ning Yu smiled and explained in detail: "The situation in North Korea and Myanmar is different, I only say that Myanmar is here, and when the time comes, I will implement a feudal feud in Burma, and divide Burma, especially the fertile land of Lower Burma, to the lords of domestic meritorious heroes, so that you can all establish your own feudal state on the land of Burma." ”

"Sealing the country?"

Cui Wancai took a deep breath, he naturally understood the meaning contained in this, which means that once he can establish a feudal state in Myanmar, he will be the local emperor of the land at that time.

Population, finance, and land will all become owned by the feudal state! The temptation is just too great!

Ning Yu picked up the tea on the table, took a sip lightly, and gave Cui Wancai a few minutes to digest before he said: "That's right, I will establish a feudal state in Burma and even in Annam and Southeast Asia in the future according to everyone's merits, and you can bring your own property over and become a feudal lord of all sizes."

"When the time comes, after becoming a feudal monarch, this place will naturally be hereditary inheritance, leaving some hope for your future generations, of course, the imperial court will definitely still collect some taxes, but unlike in China, the tax law of the feudal country will adopt the tax package system, we can talk about a preliminary number according to the area and population of the feudal country, as long as the feudal monarchs can complete the prescribed taxes, I will not care about the others, whether they collect more or less, it is their own business."

"This is what I said, let's do it as a business, but anyone who is a hero of my great Chu can come and participate in this transaction, of course, the profits and losses are borne by themselves, if the financial affairs of the feudal country can't last, then transfer it to someone else....... The imperial court will not give an extra penny in this. ”

"But Your Majesty, as soon as this law comes out, I'm afraid it won't make some people have some thoughts that they shouldn't have......."

Cui Wancai felt that his voice trembled a little, this emperor's courage is really big!

The system of local feudal towns, which had been strictly guarded by all dynasties, was actually released so easily by the emperor, but I don't know what the emperors who worked hard to fight against the feudal towns should think when they knew such a policy? Make a bunch of Zhu Laosi for yourself?

Ning Yu smiled, "So on the basis of the feudal system, there is also a need for a Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Metropolitan Protectorate will put all the administrative power to the following feudal states, but the military power of all feudal countries will be withdrawn to the Metropolitan Protectorate, and the strength of the Metropolitan Protectorate will be determined according to the taxes paid by the feudal countries, in short, we can have as many troops as we pay as much as we want, and as for the army, it will be transferred from the interior, and all officials of the Metropolitan Protectorate must go through His Majesty and the Privy Council before they can be appointed." ”

In order to avoid the feudal states from sitting big, the best way is to collect military power from the central government, but the administrative power and tax collection power are all delegated to the feudal state, so that the feudal state has greater autonomy, so as to avoid the feudal country becoming a loss-making transaction.

Cui Wancai took a deep breath and said, "Back to Your Majesty, although the minister can't see through the problems here, he still needs to be cautious in this move.......

Ning Yu nodded indifferently and said, "I happen to be going back to Nanjing this time, and with such a big gift package, I believe I can bring an explanation to some people.......

.......

At the beginning of July, when the Qing court entered Korea for more than half a year, the Fu Han army that was located in Shengjing and other places finally began to assemble and began to march to Korea.

When this banner was really fought, North Korea, from the two classes to the common people, couldn't help but be a little stunned, but although the big guy was very curious about why the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty became the king of Korea, he did not express any objection, and even many people were very happy in their hearts, because they finally had a powerful king!

You must know that North Korea belongs to the mentality of a typical small country and widows, that is, under the repeated external threats, there is a crazy yearning for power.

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the territory of North Korea has been constantly rubbing with outside forces, and North Korea often belongs to the side of friction due to its own geographical and strength limitations.

Therefore, now when I hear that North Korea has changed to a Celestial Emperor as a king, many people are overjoyed, because with such a Korean king, no one will dare to invade North Korea in the future, right?

"Long live the Celestial Empire! Long live His Majesty the Great Emperor! ”

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the King! ”

When the army of the Fu Han Army crossed the Yalu River and entered Pyongan Road in a vigorous manner, many Korean people saw the banner hanging on the army, and immediately had tears in their eyes, kneeling on the side of the road one by one, thanking the arrival of the Celestial Empire army, and they also shouted loudly in Korean from time to time.

Ning Zuyi, who was riding on a horse at this time, glanced at the North Koreans on the side of the road, but he was a little emotional, and said to the North Korean envoy Jin Shijun on the side: "Hey, it's too late for us to send troops!" North Korea's tens of millions of Li Shu must have endured all the hardships. ”

was sent to Shengjing by Ning Chu from Beijing, no, Jin Shijun, the North Korean envoy who is now renamed Shenyang, was immediately angry when he heard Ning Zuyi's pretentious words, otherwise the Fu Han army deliberately delayed, how could it wait until July to enter North Korea? If you really have this heart, you can enter North Korea as early as April.

Of course, Jin Shijun didn't dare to say anything, he smiled and said: "General, the Celestial Empire army came at the right time at this time, and it must be able to completely wipe out the Tartars." ”

Ning Zuyi nodded and smiled slightly, "Naturally, recovering North Korea is not a problem, and as for the Tatars, there is no way to escape....... When we take Seoul, North Korea will naturally be restored, and we will be regarded as ministers of the same dynasty at that time. ”

As soon as he talked about being a minister in the same dynasty, Jin Shijun thought of Emperor Ning Chu becoming the king of Joseon, and he had to smile bitterly: "That's right, the minister and the general can also be regarded as ministers in the same dynasty.......

In the minds of Jin Shijun and the other two team members, there is no objection to Ning Chu becoming the emperor, but it is not very welcome, after all, compared to the Li family, which is easier to handle, the Great Chu Emperor is naturally not an easy existence to deal with.

Fortunately, Ning Yu has already made a promise that he will not interfere with the rule of the two classes of North Korea, as long as the big guy pays his taxes seriously, as for other times in peacetime, he can't care about what he wants to do, and he won't care.

Both of them rode on their horses with great thoughts, but the long line of the Fu Han army was like a torrent, advancing forward, but the progress along the way was quite rapid.

It took almost less than three days, and the Fu Han army also took Pyongyang all the way on the march, but it was much faster than the Qing army's march into Korea.

.........

When the news gradually spread to Seoul, Emperor Qianlong was in Jingdeok Palace, playing a discordant game with the palace maid, his face was full of smiles, and he looked very happy.

"Don't run, let me see what you look like, hehe......."

"Yikes....... The Emperor ......."

Qianlong's eyes were covered with yellow silk cloth, and he was playing hide and seek with a group of palace maids, he couldn't see the direction clearly in front of his eyes, but he seemed to find something through the sound, so he suddenly stepped forward, but he grabbed a person, but he touched it, but he felt that something was wrong, so he took off the yellow silk cloth on his eyes.

"Teacher? What are you doing here? ”

It turned out that Emperor Qianlong caught Xu Yuanmeng, but at this time, Xu Yuanmeng's face was full of anxiety, and behind Xu Yuanmeng, there were several important ministers who were also standing one by one, and everyone looked unhappy.

Xu Yuanmeng sighed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong!" ”

"Didn't the Fu Han army call?" Emperor Qianlong's face was frightened.

Xu Yuanmeng nodded, then took out a fold and handed it to Qianlong, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Fu Han army has already fought from the north, and their vanguard army occupies Pyongyang and is advancing in the direction of Seoul, and what is even more worrying is that the direction of Jeju Island ...... There is also a landing of the Fu Han army! ”

"It's over....... Eight Flags is going to be finished....."

Qianlong heard the news, but it was like thunder, but the yellow silk cloth in his hand had fallen to the ground at some point.
