Her Majesty the Empress soon concluded her inspection of these plantations and proceeded on her journey.

Arrived in Tianjin four days later.

Although her dragon boat is not big, it can't pass through the shallow water of the North Canal, and you can't go up from Yin'er Bay to a big boat. In fact, the role of this section of the canal has also been shared by a national highway, and a large number of new horse-drawn carriages start from Yin'erwan, and can be delivered to the northern capital within three days full of various materials. The construction of a parallel railway to the national highway is also under construction, which will be completed in the next two years, after all, there are no real big rivers along the way, that is, bridges can be built on these rivers in the past, and in the future the waterway of the North Canal will be completely replaced by land transportation......

After all, this is no longer the capital.

In fact, the population of the northern capital is still very small, you must know that most of it was almost emptied last time, and so much population loss is not something that can be recovered in just a few years.

Even Tianjin was depressed.

At the beginning, there was a big war in Tianjin, and the Eight Banners Divine Army stationed in the city did a bloody battle to the end, and in the end, less than half of the population of the Tianjin Acropolis remained after the war. It's not just here, it's pretty much the same in the whole of Suncheon, the war, the post-war liquidation of traitors and heretics, and the heavy loss of the population of this land. However, those who survived were still very happy, because they were all cultivating the best fields, and when the population plummeted, there was naturally no land pressure, and some nimble minds were also learning to plant. But they don't use Japanese slaves, but a large number of Jiannu and Shennu, as for the resistance and escape of these people, this is nothing, just put on shackles.

It's not that you can't work if you wear shackles.

"This is not the previous one, these are all captured outside the customs by Jianzhou Wei and various Mongolian ministries."

Zheng Chenggong explained.

"I'll just say, where did you get so much!"

Yang Qing said with satisfaction.

In fact, the Guanwai Mongolians and Jianzhou Weizheng were tired of this, and even regarded slave hunting as their pillar industry, anyway, they had no other economic resources, and the Mongolians could sell some horses at most, but now Daming is full of horse farms, and their Mongolian horses are not worth much.

As for Jianzhouwei, he can only sell ginseng.

Although the population of Jianzhou Sanwei has also decreased significantly, due to natural conditions, life is still relatively difficult.

On the contrary, slave hunting can make a lot of money.

Not only those who hunted the emperor and the Qing Kingdom, but even the tribes that submitted to the Ming Dynasty caught each other.

"Beizhili's food can be self-sufficient, right?"

Yang Qing then asked.

"Yes, this year will be completely self-sufficient, and there will be surplus grain to supply the troops outside the Guan, this potato is really a good thing, not to mention the Guannei, it is the area of Xuanda outside the Guan, and the potatoes can be planted with high yields!"

Zhu Dadian, the governor of Beizhili, said excitedly.

Yang Qing didn't wait for South American potatoes to come, and he began to promote potatoes here, after all, the climate here is suitable, especially in the mountainous areas outside Guanwai, according to the new administrative division, the original Liaodong Prefecture and Xuanfu were also assigned to Beizhili. After all, there is almost no population in these places, and there is no need to set up a separate administrative region, for example, the entire Xuanfu currently only retains one prefect county, and it is also a prefect, so what do so many officials do with a population of less than 50,000? And there is only one Jinzhou in Liaoxi, and there is only one Liaoyang Mansion in Liaodong, but fortunately, there are three counties in this big point, and the total population of Liaoxi and Liaodong is still less than 100,000! In such a sparsely populated place, it is not worth setting up too many administrative districts, and all of them are under the jurisdiction of the governor of Beizhili.

"Zhu Gong, it's time for the land reform to come to your house next, you won't have any complaints, right?"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

Zhu Dadian's family is at the level of a local tyrant.

"It's not enough to complain, when the time comes, the protector will give the old man more to make up for it in the north, although my family is not a big family, but after all, there are many people to eat!"

Zhu Dadian said.

"Zhu Gong is refreshing!"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

In fact, these northern receivers have reaped enough benefits, especially the northern minerals, Zhu Dadian and Zheng Chenggong have partnered to open several coal mines, and now the coal burned by the empress's dragon boat is dug out of their coal mines in Kaiping. As for occupying wasteland to engage in plantations, they had already started it, and Zhu Dadian alone had built a full 200,000 mu in Shuntian in the form of leases, and was using slaves to reclaim and then plant cotton on a large scale.

Land reform did have an impact on them.

But this impact is within the range of their acceptance, in the end they have gained too much, and they can accept to lose a little.

Yang Qing stood in the busy plantation, took one last look at the Jiannu who were shackling and hoeing the grass, and then left contentedly and returned to the northern capital with Zheng Chenggong and the others. But he did not rush to get out of Empress Zhou's Zi Palace, but continued to inspect the northern capital, but to Yang Qing's disappointment, no one in the south dared to rebel......

Banditry continues.

Obviously, the courtiers did not have the courage after all, so they directly confronted Yang Qing by force.

They are all smart people.

They know the result of the armed confrontation, not to mention that they are not to the point of desperation, as for the local gentry who can't bear it anymore and spontaneously come up with resistance, this is just a matter of sitting idly by, hundreds of thousands of troops are pressed in Nanzhili, and the resistance of these gentry can only be a mantis arm.

The land reform of the Ming Dynasty continued.

Yang Qing and the empress stayed in the northern capital until September of this year, before they got out of the Zigong palace of Empress Zhou, and then boarded a ship to return to the southern capital, where they were buried with Chongzhen in Anling.

After the funeral was completed, the empress named Zhu Shu as the king of letters and the fief of Yingzhou, and then her brother was packed into the fleet to go to the fief, accompanied by Her Majesty the Empress personally mobilized the 5,000 immigrants who were finally put together. They will move to Yingzhou as Shinwang's escort, and there will also be a marine brigade and a fleet of twenty cruisers stationed there on a regular basis, with the main task of conquering the small islands in the Pacific......

These islands can be numerous.

And many of them are quite valuable, and it is too far to conquer these islands from the direction of the Ming Dynasty, but it is easy to conquer the islands of the southwest Pacific from Hawaii.

In short, the former Longxing Emperor completely left the sight of the Ming people.

Although he can still come back.

After all, he was a vassal king, not a prisoner, but in fact, the distance and the embarrassment of his status made him sure that he would not return until the steam-powered ship matured, but his newborn son remained in the palace and was raised by Her Majesty the Empress. It is clear that the Empress also prevented her brother from dying in distant Hawaii, even if it was already under the control of the Ming army and the clean-up work had been completed, and there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents on such a long voyage.

And Zhu Cihong, the king of Liang, also embarked on a journey to Kansai after the funeral, followed by two entire cavalry armies, and the same 5,000 immigrants. He will command these two cavalry armies, plus one of the original armies in Kwansai, to complete the complete destruction of the Yarkand Khanate. In addition, the Dzungar Khan, Heshute Khan and other vassals were also given the holy decree to cooperate in the war, and they would happily respect the decree, although they were not allowed to occupy the land, they could plunder at will, especially the slave traders who could capture slaves and sell them to the Ming Dynasty. In this way, in the next time, the army of the Ming court will sweep Guanxi in three ways together with these vassals, and completely restore the territory of the Tang Dynasty there.

Including Shattered Leaf City.

Although Shattered Leaf City was in the control area of Dzungar Khan at this time, since he was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was of course qualified to build a city on his territory.

It's not just about building a Shattered Leaf City.

A post road system that includes access to broken leaves will also be built.

As for the Dzungar Khan......

He has to agree, and if he doesn't agree, he has no qualification, because the Russians behind them are still eyeing each other, and besides, Daming still supports them in sweeping Kazakhstan, so there is no need to fall out with Daming over this trivial matter. While resisting the southward movement of the Russians, the real target of the Dzungar Ministry was Kazakhstan, which was the Great Yuz and the Middle Yuz, which was the direction of their expansion in Central Asia. Originally, they fought a decades-long war with the Kazakhs on this land in history, and it was not until the Dzungar tribe was exterminated by the Qing army that the Kazakhs got rid of this nightmare.

And the third to go to the town was Tang Wang.

Although his Zhaonan City has not really been completed at this time, as the governor of Zhaonan, he can first station in the colony of Hexian, which was originally developed by the gentry of Guangdong, has been officially handed over to the state, and before the completion of Zhaonan City, Hexian will be temporarily replaced. In the future, Zhaonan City will be built in full accordance with the standards of a giant fortress, with fortresses, forts, ports, and even some necessary factories, all of which must be there, and 10,000 families will also be immigrated to Zhaonan City. In short, this city is the core of the future Ming Dynasty in the South Seas, even the home port of the Nanyang Fleet has been changed to Zhaonan City, and the home port of the Tu Fleet in Zhoushan has been changed to the home port of the Tu Fleet, after all, the Ming Dynasty has no enemies in the coastal seas.

Just keep a home fleet.

Even if it's a training base.

But the real main fleet will press the vast majority of it to the South Sea, and even the Indian Ocean, and the next step will definitely be to march into the Red Sea, as for India, it is not in the direction of Yang Qing's expansion, and it is good to hand them over to the British, the Ming and Britain are still friendly, anyway, the British are nothing more than sucking blood in India.

The blood they suck will also flow to Daming.

The main reason is that India is so populous that there is no point in conquering such places, and when slave sources, commodity dumping markets, and raw material suppliers are the best, it is the Arabian Peninsula that seems to be the most worthless at this time. In particular, Yang Qing still had to carry out his canal plan, the Spaniards had already shown great interest in this, they had been reduced to second-rate goods, and the European trade routes were controlled by the Dutch and the British, if there was such a canal, then Spain, which owned Gibraltar, would regain control of the trade between the East and the West. After all, if they don't open the door, no one can enter the Mediterranean, at most let the French get a piece of the pie, but the two that have already fought for the spoils can be kicked aside.

The King of Earth still has a dream.

The Dutch were very dissatisfied with the Ming army's decisive expansion in Nanyang, but they were helpless after the defeat in Europe, after all, they had not even defeated the British, let alone the stronger Ming.

After the Tang King went to the town, he immediately began the crusade against Bo Ni, and the Ming army of the cross-sea expedition landed in Bo Ni, but because of the rough national policy, it led to the resolute resistance of the people of Bo Ni, and they actually resisted for two whole months before they were scattered in front of the Ming army that continued to arrive. Most of the Boni people surrendered, and a small number fled into the forest to join the Dayak headhunters, in short, the country disappeared completely, and the original Boni country became a province in Zhaonan Province of the Ming Dynasty. And in the following year, the Ming army quickly cleared out several other sultans of Borneo, because of the Ming army, a large number of gold mines were discovered in the west of Borneo, and the Ming quickly set off a gold rush in Borneo......

The Dutch still endured in silence.

What if you don't put up with it?

The two first-class ships of the Ming army were in Zhaonan City, and they could run to bombard Batavia at any time, and as for the city of Malacca being completely surrounded, even the Dutch merchant ships entering Malacca had to sail through the Ming army's guns first. The merchant ships of other countries have stopped entering Malacca City, but have stopped at Zhaonan City for supplies, so it can be said that after the city is fully completed, Malacca City will be completely invalid.

The Strait of Malacca is already Ming.

Fortunately, Yang Qing finally stopped after this round of expansion, mainly because the domestic land reform has reached the most critical stage.

However, it was in this year that Zhang Xianzhong, the Duke of Shu of the Ming Dynasty, died of illness, and the Duke of Huguo did not pull the list afterwards, he kept his promise to let Zhang Xianzhong's son inherit the title of Duke of Shu, so Sun Kewang and others immediately wrote to ask for old age. And the military leaders under Li Zicheng also died of old age, and these heroes completely bid farewell to the stage of the Ming Dynasty, and finally only Li Laiheng, who was the leader of the Peasants' and Workers' Party, and Li Dingguo, who was also old but was forcibly left behind by Yang Qing to continue to serve as the governor of Sichuan......

His achievements are evident to all.

This person's generosity and benevolence are extremely suitable for a place like Sichuan, Sichuan has completely reached the world of Confucian Datong under his governance in the past ten years, and he has not closed his door at night, and he has not left anything behind, and it is pitiful that the ideals that countless great Confucian generations have dreamed of for generations have been realized by a bandit-born person!

It's a real irony.

Therefore, in the future, the protector will have to entrust him with a heavier burden!

And the land reform of Nanzhili was officially completed at the end of this year, no matter how the gentry still wanted to die, their fate was doomed, after the completion of the land clearance, all the land of Nanzhili was nationalized.

Agree or disagree,

In short, the title deeds in the hands of the gentry of Nanzhili have all been invalidated from the moment the empress's decree is promulgated, and they no longer have any legal effect. All they can do is accept their fate, and then go to the local land reform teams to register, collect their land vouchers, and receive the reclamation certificate for the land in the north. Of course, as the people of the Ming Dynasty, they can also go and receive their share of the land to cultivate......

If they want to. ()
