The formal passage of the land law allowed the Ming Dynasty to truly begin the public land......

Of course, it's not that simple.

The number of Yang Qing's land reform team is not enough to support the comprehensive land reform of the entire Jiangnan, this is not the kind of land reform in the north, the north can directly fight down those gentry who do not cooperate, but in the south, it needs the best law. The complexity must have increased, and the land reform team that could have been able in the north was not enough in the south, and the only way was to divide it into provinces, and the provinces would do it in turn, and the first one was Nanzhili and Shandong. The latter is only a little, because Luxi, Lunan and Denglai have already completed the Huangzhuang very early, and the real need for land reform is actually only Jinan Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion, and it is also part of the area.

Nan Zhili is not all.

First of all, Yingtian, Huaixi, Fengyang, and Xusi are also traditional Huangzhuang districts, at least most of them are Huangzhuang.

Especially Huaixi.

It is not only Huangzhuang District, but also Yangqing's die-hard area, all of which are Liao people who moved south back then, and their loyalty even exceeds that around Yingtian.

In this way, the most important ones in need of land reform in Nanzhili are Huaidong, around Taihu Lake, around Chaohu Lake, along the Yangtze River, and in the southern mountainous areas, especially in Huizhou. Among them, the area around Taihu Lake has a high degree of industrialization, and the gentry are the weakest in their resistance, after all, they are not very dependent on land, and industry and commerce are also developed along the Yangtze River because of convenient transportation. In this way, only around Chaohu Lake, and in addition, the land reform in the southern mountainous area is slightly more difficult, but those landlords have no ability to resist, after all, this area is the fastest mobilization of the Ming army.

According to Yang Qing's plan, the entire land reform of Nanzhili will be completed within two years.

Then Zhejiang and Fujian, Jiangxi and Huguang, Guangdong and Yunnan and Guizhou will be carried out in turn, and the ultimate goal is to complete all of them within six years. In these provinces, it is easier to have a wide range of lakes, because there are also a lot of Huangzhuang in northern Hubei Province, Yunnan and Guizhou are mainly to change the land and return to the stream, and Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian are in the mountainous areas, which can be said to be the most difficult to reform the land. If these places are not good, there will be large-scale banditry, so next Yang Qing is going to transfer the northern army to this area to station, and transfer several troops under Li Zicheng to the past, whoever dares to play bandits will face the ancestors of the bandits! As a necessary institution, the Ministry of Land and Resources of the Ming Dynasty was also formally established, and the first Secretary of the Ministry of Land was personally nominated by Her Majesty the Empress to be a noble enough person.

"Your Majesty, you are what everyone expects!"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

The Fu King in front of him laughed as if he was crying.

He was the first secretary of the Ming Dynasty Land Department, the first clan secretary of the Ming Dynasty, and the first vassal king......

Although he didn't want to be.

Poor King Fu has been farming happily all these years.

In his Huaixi fiefdom, he not only owned 3,000 slaves, more than 10,000 tenants, but also more than 50,000 sheep, more than 1,000 horses, and more than 5,000 cattle. He built more than a dozen factories, canneries, wineries, and even leather boot factories, like a small city-state, and the days were prosperous and prosperous, and his son alone gave birth to more than 20 in less than ten years.

However......

Yang Qing wants to roast him on the fire.

Ministry of Land and Literature?

In charge of land reform across the country?

He must be cursed by those gentry to be pricked with needles and cursed by villains! Obviously, Yang Qing, the sinister guy, is ready to make him a target, this guy is already dissatisfied with his good life over the years, and deliberately dug a hole for him......

Well, he's just thinking too much.

Yang Qing just wanted to find the most suitable furnishings.

"Protector of the country, Xiao Wang has never been in politics, I am afraid that he will not be entrusted by His Majesty!"

King Fu said cautiously.

"The king doesn't need to worry, this land is the capital of the country, the Ministry of Land is the top priority, and there is no way to control it if it is not the king, as for those specific affairs, there are those subordinates to do, and Her Majesty the Empress only wants the identity of the king as the emperor's uncle and the head of the clan. Thinking that Taizu raised troops to expel the Tartars, his intention was to make the world's cultivators have their fields, and now the king is presiding over the Ministry of Land with the clan, which is to complete Taizu's unfinished ambition! Thinking that Taizu is in the spirit of the sky, he can see the king presiding over the land reform to realize his ideals, and he will also bless the king, don't you feel Taizu's gaze at this moment? ”

Yang Qing said with a smile.

Of course, King Fu has to do it, and he has to do it if he doesn't do it.

He just wants to be a decoration for the king.

With the empress's uncle, the first vassal king of the clan, as the secretary of the Ministry of Land, and then the captains of the land reform team he has cultivated over the years to form this Ministry of Land, the interference of the gentry can be completely eliminated. Even the civil servants under the Ministry of Land and Resources are all served by his students, and none of them are required to pass the imperial examination, and all of them are new young people educated by his new education, so that the Ministry of Land can completely ensure purity. Otherwise, it would be troublesome for such institutions to be infiltrated by the gentry, who would try to break the system in the process of land reform, and he was not afraid of the gentry's open revolt now. Open rebellion was the best way to deal with, and he was afraid that the gentry would infiltrate the Ministry of Land and then play with the land reform as they did best.

It's a given.

What those gentry had was the means.

In fact, there have always been two factions of the gentry against his reforms, one is to resist the struggle, and the other is to infiltrate and play badly.

Gong Dingyu is their idol.

Li Zicheng's team quickly turned into a group of people who he bought casually and immediately defected, and Gong Dingyu contributed a lot to this, and he continued to lure those old bandits under Li Zicheng to change into corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so that they liked to enjoy more and more, and liked money more and more. Who doesn't love these? Not everyone is Li Laiheng, they can always adhere to their ideals, and most people like to enjoy it, especially after success, if there is someone next to it, it will be even more uncontrollable.

Gong Dingyu is this inducer.

Then Yang Qing gently pushed, this can be said to be the strongest separatist force fell down, Li Zicheng died early, Li Zicheng died five years later, he would face the complete corruption of his subordinates, and they betrayed under Yang Qing's silver bullet attack. Originally, Yang Qing was ready to do this, but before he could implement it, Li Zicheng's body couldn't hold on, and Lao Li, who also understood this, simply gave him a favor.

By the way, seek the best ending for the Li family.

And now the gentry of the Ming Dynasty are also dealing with Yang Qing in the same way.

Gong Dingyu is not good.

The Lord Protector will definitely not thank him for giving him any reward for this, in fact, he has been imprisoned at this time, that is, he can no longer hold public office, and can only retire at home, and the family that originally expelled him from the clan has also restored him. And now the leader of this kind of latent gentry is Chen Zhenhui and his uncle Chen Yutai, who is playing the most alternative role in a gentry, and even this time a representative of a scholar from the Chen family in Yixing actually voted for the Gongtian Law.

Such an enemy is the most terrifying.

Even if Yang Qingming knew their purpose, he still had to maintain his courtesy to them, they were like viruses lurking in the human body, waiting for the opportunity to eat away at the human body......

It's okay if you can't wait.

"Good systems are all played bad by internal enemies!"

The Protector looked at the vicissitudes of King Fu's back with emotion.

Fortunately, he had enough time.

He'll keep going with the guys who try to ruin his system from within, and keep having fun until they all break down, and he'll kill all his opponents, and these people are no exception, and a hundred years from now he'll laugh at all the opponents who try to defeat him turned into dry bones.

Victory without a fight in a hundred years?

A hundred years is enough for him to do a lot of things!

And at this time, on the banks of the Irrawaddy River.

"It's spectacular!"

The red dragon hugged the sun and the moon, and Zhao Yin sighed with the telescope.

Behind him was the newly conquered Ava, or Mandalay, the equivalent of the Shanhai Pass of the Taungoo Dynasty, completely covered in billowing smoke, and a dense stream of gunfire and explosions could be heard. It is clear that the fierce fighting in the city is not over, and the Toungoo have an elite army of 20,000 in Ava, equipped with a large number of weapons purchased from European merchants, and although the walls are crushed by Ming artillery and rockets, large-scale street fighting in the city is still inevitable. However, this is not Zhao Yinxuan's business, that is what the Sichuan army led by Feng Shuangli needs to solve, and his task is only to block the main force of the Donghu Army that rescues Ava.

The latter had an army of 50,000 men.

The Protector completely overestimated the strength of the Taungoo people, who, despite their population of several million, were actually only Burmese, and not all of them were truly loyal to Taungoo.

The rest prefer to see the Donghu people unlucky.

For example, those Tusi in the north even directly acted as the leading party, and Feng Shuangli fought in the streets of Ava City with Meng Yang and Meng Mi, and the two Tusi sent to serve in the end, and finally the total strength of the Donghu people who were able to mobilize to meet the Ming army did not exceed 100,000. And it was not gathered at the same time, the first 20,000 guards Ava were assembled, and then the 50,000 troops were gathered one after another to rescue, and finally the two sides started a decisive battle under the city of Ava. There is a huge gap in equipment between the two sides, the Donghu people don't even have many arquebuses, and Zhao Yinxuan's army is all flintlock guns, but the Donghu people also have their most trusted weapons......

War elephants.

"No less than two thousand!"

The staff officer beside Zhao Yinxuan exclaimed.

In the green in front of them, one giant elephant after another slowly moved forward, these behemoths with elephant shrines on their backs, densely packed in a long formation, like monsters in the mist, and the ground trembled as they trampled. Around the elephants, the equally strangely dressed Donghu soldiers, wielding most of the weapons of cold weapons, howled and marched forward to the sound of war drums and trumpets. The trust in the war elephants convinced them that they would be victors, and even behind them, there were some old and weak, who were ready to collect the spoils of war and cut off the heads.

"Ready!"

Zhao Yinxuan said.

On the artillery positions in front of him, rocket launchers pointed diagonally into the sky, soldiers with torches waited quietly, and on the other two positions on either side, a mortar gun and mountain howitzers were also pointed at the war elephants.

"Put!"

Zhao Yinxuan suddenly shouted.

The first to fire was the mountain howitzer, a nine-pound mountain howitzer sprayed flames, followed by the mortar to join the fire, and finally rose a series of rockets that pierced the sky. The first to arrive were also flowering shells fired from mountain howitzers, which struck the war elephants and even splattered them with flesh and blood, before turning into exploding flames. The next thing that fell was the mortar shells, but they did not fall in front of the herd, almost all of them landed in front of the herd. Then the rocket also fell in an arc in front of the elephant herd, and the dense explosion and loud noise, coupled with the wailing of the war elephant hit by the grenade, made this extremely intelligent animal turn around without hesitation.

They slammed into each other in confusion, tossing them off at the screams of the soldiers in the elephant shrine and trampling them underfoot.

The entire elephant array collapsed in an instant.

Then the artillery bombardment of the Ming army continued, especially those mountain howitzers, hundreds of mountain howitzers sprayed flames at a rate of half a minute. The grenades slammed into the elephants with precision, exacerbating their panic with the sound of explosions, and soon most of them began to flee, crushing the Donghu soldiers who followed them like ants in their track.

Only a handful have moved on.

Of course, it may also be frightened and panicked.

But what awaited them was a field gun that never fired, and the huge body of the war elephant fell in the accurate direct fire of a four-and-a-half-pound field cannon......

"Infantry attack!"

Zhao Yinxuan said with a relaxed face.

In front of the mound where he was, in the green wilderness, in the red columns, the roar of the officers sounded, and in this roar the soldiers in red uniforms quickly loaded their flintlock muskets with bayonets, and these soldiers did not even wear their cuirasses, and the thing was like a hot iron pot in the heat of Burma.

No one wore a helmet.

All soldiers have hats on their heads that are best suited to this environment.

Amid the whistling of shells and rockets, accompanied by the sound of cannons behind them, these Ming soldiers, who looked like Victorian lobster soldiers, marched forward in a neat formation amid the sound of the horn. A small number of Donghu soldiers who escaped the catastrophe bravely moved forward, and then they faced the Ming army line with gunpowder smoke spraying, and they fell helplessly in the bullets of the platoon of guns. The Ming troops, who were still in formation, seemed to pass through the green and red ripples, stepping on their dead bodies, and from time to time someone bowed their heads and gave bayonets to those wounded Donghu soldiers. Soon they were stepping into the killing fields created by war elephants, ending the lives of wounded elephants with sporadic gunfire, or the lives of wounded Dongoo soldiers with bayonets.

In the distance, the remnants of the Donghu army had begun to break and flee.

"Cavalry attack!"

Zhao Yinxuan said.

In the sky above him, in a tethered balloon basket, the signalman waved the signal flag, and the cavalry that had been lined up on the flank of the battlefield immediately began to strike.

"Immediately send a letter to Tengchong, report to the protector of the country, our army has conquered Ava, and crushed the enemy reinforcements, killing the enemy ......"

Zhao Yinxuan looked at the battlefield.

"Kill 100,000 enemies! Report the real numbers after they are counted! ”

He said.
