Fengdu.

This small city, which is famous for its ghosts, has completely become the military station base of the Ming army in eastern Sichuan that entered Sichuan from the east road, and the food and materials of the entire Kuizhou Mansion, Shizhou Guard, and even Jingzhou Mansion and Hanzhong Mansion, as well as all kinds of weapons and armor that can be equipped with the training of the Xiangyong Regiment, are all transferred here. Eight brigade-level detachments between divisions and regiments had long been dispatched to begin sweeping the entire territory of Kuizhou Prefecture and the prefectures and counties in the eastern part of Chongqing Prefecture and Shunqing Prefecture.

Wushan, Dachang, Daning, Fengjie (Qutang), Jianshi, Yunyang, Kaixian, Wanzhou, Taiping, Dazhou, Dongxiang, Xinning, Liangshan, Dazhu, Linshui, Dianjiang, Zhongzhou, Shizhu, Fuzhou, Wulong, Pengshui, Youyang, Nanchuan...... The people of more than 20 states and counties have all been waiting for their long-awaited Wang Shi in just over a month.

This time, the king master seems to be the real king master, and he didn't disappoint the Sichuan people who have been waiting for more than ten years at all. The prince did not commit any crimes in the autumn, and it was completely different from the previous Wang Shi who fought and grabbed everywhere - of course, the few sackcloth in the Sichuan peasant's house were not worth anything in the eyes of the new Wang Shi! What is there to grab?

In addition to the autumn without committing any crimes, the new Wang Shi also met the needs of the Sichuan people for exams and land to the greatest extent! Wherever the Wang Shi fought, the imperial examination would be held - now the Wang Shi is educated, and the young soldiers of the Guards at least have the education level of a new-style primary school graduate. The officers are all from the martial arts hall, and many of them have also served as instructors in the martial arts hall (the instructors in the martial arts hall are not full-time, but are served by the elite among the officers in turn), and they know how to organize the examination.

Therefore, there is no need for the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites to send people down, they will do the imperial examination themselves! As for what to do next, Ma Wanchun's experience in Shizhu can be popularized - Zhu Cihong asked the Xinggong and the Eastern Sichuan Festival Division to issue a document to guide the prefectures and counties to clear the households and fields, form a group training, and exterminate the remnants of the Liukou after the imperial examination...... Because there is a ready-made work guide, and there are a group of energetic officials, plus the emperor himself is sitting in Fengdu, what else is there not to do?

In just one or two months, the hearts of more than 20 states and counties in eastern Sichuan were all deceived by Emperor Zhu - of course it was a lie! After all, Zhu Cihong was a semi-feudal and semi-capitalist emperor, and it was impossible for him to truly represent the peasants of Sichuan, and it was not impossible for his regime to remain efficient for a long time. For example, if you control the business of entering Sichuan, it may be okay to maintain it for a few months to a year. If you want five years and ten years of control, you can't do it......

Emperor Zhu couldn't do it, not only to control the trade road, but also to suppress the industry and commerce!

The Dashun Dynasty did a good job of suppressing industry and commerce, and it also brought tangible benefits to the people of Sichuan, who looked poor, but their population growth rate in the past 20 years was higher than that of the eight southeastern provinces of the Ming Dynasty! Considering that the per capita cultivated land occupation in Sichuan is about the same as the average of the eight southeastern provinces, it is clear that the suppression of industry and commerce in the Dashun Dynasty is actually beneficial to the Sichuan people.

Because the development of industry and commerce will make the wealth of the people more and more concentrated, causing the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. Therefore, not only did the ancient Chinese feudal dynasties have a policy of suppressing commerce, but most of the feudal dynasties in the world will more or less suppress industry and commerce.

In fact, Zhu Cihong's dynasty also had behaviors that suppressed industry and commerce, such as using the northern army to suppress Nanshi, which was a policy of suppressing industry and commerce.

But Zhu Cihong's anti-business policy only went to the point...... Because he had no way to realize the feudalization of the army, his new army was formed in the highly commercialized territory of Yingtianfu and the two provinces of Jiangnan and Jiangbei. From the day of its birth, it was difficult to develop in the direction of the feudal land soldiers.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong could only retreat to the next best thing and use the central military aristocracy to control elite recruitment. Such an army was very expensive, so Zhu Cihong could only suppress the political power of the industrial and commercial landlords in the south while promoting various policies to promote the development of industry and commerce in the territory......

His foundation is like this, and it is impossible to implement a policy of suppressing industry and commerce in Sichuan for a long time - to suppress industry and commerce for a long time, it is necessary to have a feudal military class, such as the government soldiers of Dashun, the military household soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. And to establish a feudal military class in Sichuan, it will take away the land of the Sichuan people, just like the military households of Dashun!

However, there was no such feudal military class rooted in the countryside to constantly suppress industry and commerce and maintain the feudal order in the countryside.

All the Dongchuan farmers have become market-oriented operators...... In a sense, they are all businessmen!

Therefore, marketization is actually the biggest mercantile policy!

And market-oriented operation will inevitably lead to the bankruptcy of some peasant households and land annexation! Therefore, sooner or later, the poor peasants in Sichuan, like the poor peasants in the southeast, will have to leave the countryside in large numbers and enter the cities, and even be forced to cross the sea to the New World to make a living...... What a miserable world!

However, in the winter of the 20th year of Hongxing in the Ming Dynasty, the farmers in eastern Sichuan did not know the fate they were going to face, so they were immersed in the joy of being given the land and meeting the Ming Lord.

And with their support, the Ming army that entered Dongchuan already had signs of invincibility, and the defenders of Dashun could only flee from the wind.

In November of the twentieth year of Hongxing, except for Chongqing Fucheng, Luzhou City, Hezhou City, and Nanchong City (Shunqing Fucheng), there was no city heavily guarded by the Dashun Dynasty in the entire Dongchuan area. Even if there is still a big banner on the head of the city, there are few government soldiers stationed in the city, and they have all prepared their outfits early and will leave at any time......

And the capital city of Chongqing, the fundamental place of the Great Shun Dynasty in Sichuan, is now about to be exposed before the blade of the Ming army!

......

Zhu Cihong stood at the head of Fengdu City on the bank of the Yangtze River, watching the river full of wooden boats and countless people coming and going with his hands behind his back, carrying all kinds of materials down from the full wooden boats, the corners of his mouth turned up proudly, and he smiled.

Although the nature of the feudal dynasty determined that Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty was on the opposite side of the broad masses of the people after all, the Dashun Dynasty was also an unpopular feudal dynasty, and it also plagued the Sichuan people for nearly 20 years...... The time has come for the hearts and minds to be lost.

In contrast, the new Ming Dynasty, which has been transformed by Emperor Zhu's efforts, can still clamp the fox's tail for the time being.

So there is no suspense about the outcome of this battle of Sichuan......

"Do you want to defend Chongqing? Okay, I'll come to the countryside and surround the city......"

Emperor Zhu put his hands behind his back and muttered. Zhu Hexing and Ding Yuying, who were following them, thought that this father was teaching them something, so they pricked up their ears to listen, and their eyes also turned away.

Ding Yuying also asked in a low voice: "Father, what did you say?" ”

These days, the crown prince and the crown princess supported each other to be the home of Fengdu County, and the prince took the soldiers and horses to go around the various towns and villages under Fengdu County, and wiped out a lot of Dashun soldiers who fell into the grass, which can be regarded as a good practice.

Ding Yuying, the crown princess, stayed in Fengdu County to deal with all kinds of miscellaneous official documents, and also convened a meeting of the county magistrate, the chief bookkeeper, and the six county lieutenants - the identities of Zhu Hexing and Ding Yuying were made public in Fengdu! The officials below all know that this woman with a big belly is the princess of Daming, and no one dares to do things carelessly, but there are still two people who have not done anything and were masturbated by Ding Yuying...... Emperor Zhu was very satisfied with her approach of making a straight face, and those who were in the top position had to make the people below feel a little scared, and would rather be strict than lenient!

As for Zhu Hexing's performance...... How to say it, the military affairs of a county are good, whether it is to run a township or to pay for thieves, it is all decent. But I'm not interested in government affairs!

Emperor Zhu looked back at his son and daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "I will test you two, how should you fight next?" ”
