"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Du You, the envoy of the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Sheng, the commander of the Fourth Army, led the envoy of the strategy, as well as all the generals and officials of Jingzhou Mansion, Jiangling and other counties, as well as more than 100,000 soldiers and people, knelt down on the bank of the Yangtze River and shouted in unison.

In front of them, a huge fleet of ships was slowly approaching the Yangtze River channel, but there was not a single white sail in sight, but instead there were black chimneys spewing billowing smoke, and the steam engine drove the huge paddle wheel on both sides of the inland river flat-bottomed boats, pushing the river water and pushing the hundreds of tons of wooden boats forward. At the front of this fleet, already on the dock is a large ship painted gold, the carved beams and paintings on the ship are incomparably noble and luxurious, like a moving palace, and on the deck, a famous brocade guard is carrying a saber and a rifle on his back, and a double revolver is walking towards the dock with murderous spirit.

And behind them, under a yellow curved umbrella, Yang Feng was dressed in a red dragon robe, with a black winged crown on his head, three locks of mustache on his mouth, a folding fan in his hand, and pointed forward with a full spring breeze and said, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Du You took the lead and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, he and those officials and generals hurriedly stepped forward to serve His Majesty the Emperor.

"Which one is the head of the Jingzhou Prefecture Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Chen Ning, the head of the Jingzhou Mansion, knocks to see Your Majesty!"

A half-old man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said.

"Chen Gong, please get up, you are the choice of hundreds of thousands of people in this Jingzhou Mansion, there is no need to make this big gift in front of me, but I have to rely on you to be old, and in the future, this local official will rely on you and the people's representatives to watch, if there are those who do wrong, disturb the people, and are greedy for money and bribes, you can directly give me a twist, especially this Jingjiang embankment, which is related to millions of people on both sides of the strait, and there is no room for the slightest mistake, I can't keep an eye on the construction here, this can all be handed over to you and the people's representatives of Jingzhou!"

Yang Feng helped him up and said.

"Minister, the minister must bow and die for His Majesty!"

Chen Ning choked up and said.

Now Yang Feng goes to a place, he is playing this routine, he forcibly improves the particularity of the local metropolitan procuratorate, so that the local people gradually understand the power of this institution, and they also gradually understand the power in their own hands, so that it can be maintained for decades, and if it is almost over, it can really be transferred to the constitutional system. In the final analysis, he doesn't expect his descendants to be wise and martial, and he still has to try to avoid such a thing as a monstrous flood after his death, so that a pure monarchy will definitely not work. The republic is even more nonsense, his huge empire is to conquer the world, a huge empire is no different from death, it will not take a few years to break up, and the constitutional monarchy can still make do with it.

It is said that with his godhead, it is estimated that the old Yang family can still mix for several generations.

As for the distant things......

That's left to fate, the empire will always perish, and all generations will be just a dream.

Of course, he didn't come this time for the Jingjiang embankment, although the project is indeed very important, but the terrible floods of the Yangtze River in later generations were forced out by people to put it bluntly, and population growth will inevitably lead to the result of people entering the river and retreating. At this time, it is far from that extent, it is estimated that the population of the entire Jianghan Plain at this time is not more than that of a modern Wuhan city, and the vast land is full of sponge-like lakes to absorb excess river water, and the area of Dongting Lake alone is more than twice that of modern times, in the final analysis, these are the things that really solve the flood of the Yangtze River.

As for him running all the way here, of course, he had another purpose.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by officials and generals, Emperor Yang inspected the Jingjiang embankment, the flood season is coming soon, this embankment is the Great Wall of the Jianghan Plain, and it is indispensable to reinforce it with reinforced concrete, of course, he is definitely not allowed to use bamboo tendons. Then, by the way, he held a large porcelain bowl with the migrant workers, ate brown rice filled with chili peppers, green vegetables, tofu and fat slices, and reprimanded the officials in charge for not eating the migrant workers well enough, and ordered to increase the daily wages by 20%, and harvest a meal of excited tears, which was the end of the inspection. Immediately afterwards, he was sent to the palace, and then ate fish cakes and dragon and phoenix matching, because I heard that he was more interested in white-sided dolphins, and Jingzhou Mansion also paid him a tribute, saying that this thing now belongs to the rotten street.

"You said Yinren got the Tibetan soldiers?"

Yang Feng lay on the edge of the pool, teasing the two white-sided dolphins in the pool, and said to Du You.

"Yes, the battalion official Chang Fang Jilie took thousands of people in Chengdu, he was originally a Baijiao monk, and later was accepted as a godson by Gushi Khan of the Heshuo Special Department and appointed as a battalion officer. Yinren has a close relationship with Lhasa, and it is said that he even went to worship last time, and he only had 5,000 Qing troops under his command, and even the local people could not suppress it, so he simply sealed a vassal king of Changbian Jilie, and then built a chain bridge on the Dadu River to lead his troops into Sichuan, and the two families partnered to control Sichuan. ”

Du You said.

The purpose of Yang Feng's trip is to lead the army to pacify the southwest in one fell swoop, and the Fourth Army is responsible for this campaign, of course, their enemy actually has only one Three Gorges, as long as the Three Gorges is crossed, Yinren's remnants of the defeat will not be worth mentioning at all, as for the two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, they will not resist, as long as the Ming army will definitely surrender in the past, and even now Yungui is more afraid of Yinren in the past, so tens of thousands of people in Yunnan Green Camp are blocked in Zhaotong.

"Hmph, all the messy cats and dogs have run out, since they are so willing to die, it will be good for them."

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

Indeed, if these guys are hiding in the archery furnace, this place is Kangding, then it will be a little more troublesome for him to attack, but if he runs to the Chengdu Plain, it will be completely for the Ming army to send people to brush up on the record, in fact, until now, no matter who Yinren pulls as a helper, it will be a floating cloud for him. The reason why he still wants to drive the expedition in person is not that the real goal is not His Majesty the Yongzheng Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty and the thousands of Qing troops, but how to solve those messy national problems, this is the most troublesome thing in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and even now he already needs to face this problem.

"How's the situation going?"

Yang Feng asked.

"A battalion has been sent over, those red seedlings have no ability, they just rely on the sinister place, it is very simple to pacify, but it is difficult to completely solve them, that place is full of deep mountains and dense forests, they can find a big mountain to drill, let's not talk about a battalion, even a brigade can't find it, but as soon as we withdraw the army, they will continue to drill out and kill people, not to mention that once we stay in the mountains and forests for a long time, our soldiers can't stand it, and the plague alone can drag us to death."

Du You said.

What they are talking about is the rebellion of Hongmiao, when Kang Mazi and Yang Feng were single-handed, the Qing army was completely out of control of these remote areas, there were many such situations in various places, and there were even those chaotic sects who rebelled, as for the bandits everywhere, there were even more bandits, Yang Feng took over the territory and took over the trouble, and now the whole two armies are cleaning up these garbage in Liangguangjiangxi and other places, and this is only to enter the marginal areas of these chaotic ethnic groups, and then the situation on the edge of the Yunnan-Guichuan is more complicated, which is why Yang Feng must personally conquer.

For these people, naturally it can't be the same as dealing with the Tartars, although it is not uncommon for both sides to kill me and I kill you in history, but the nature of this kind of killing is different from that of the Tartars, and many times it is also because the local officials are too greedy, in general, he has no ill feelings towards these Miao Yi people, and he is still very willing to be close to them as brothers.

As for them, Yang Feng also has something to deal with.

"Let's calm down first, it's really not okay to appease those toasts first, just let them submit, their problems can't be solved urgently and can only be solved by time."

Yang Feng said.

His way is to use time to smooth out the minions of these peoples, more simply to use superior living conditions to attract them out of the mountains, and more simply to invite them to live in the mountains, no one will like to live in those deep mountains and dense forests, if there is a better choice they will come out. Especially those young people, arrange more people to enter their villages in various capacities, tell them the beauty of the world outside the mountains, show them more novelties, and even invite the children of the upper class to go down to the mountains to go to school, let them go to those big cities to see, let those lower class people know that they can get good land outside, they can enter the factory, they can enjoy everything that the Han people enjoy, they will definitely be attracted out.

Then blur their identities and make them forget about the mountains.

In this way, it will not take many years for these peoples to be completely integrated into society.

For Yang Feng, these people are also of great use, because they can increase the labor force for him, the population of the Ming Dynasty is still too small, only tens of millions, the population skyrocketed in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, not entirely born, many are actually out of thin air, and the extra part, a large part of the Yongzheng period after the reform of the land and return to the statistics of these messy people, in the past, no matter which dynasty, these people are not counted into the population.

Not only the Miao Yi ethnic group, but also the statistics before Yongzheng, even the Han poor who fled into the mountains to avoid harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, that is, the so-called shanty people and squatter people, these are not in the population statistics, and the coastal Tan people, the northwest Hui people, the fallen people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the beggars are all not in the scope of statistics, it is precisely because of the different statistical methods that the population of Qianlong in the 39th year of Qianlong was 200 million2, and the population of Qianlong in the 40th year of Qianlong blew up balloons to the terrifying growth rate of 200 million 600, which was created to put it bluntly.

But at this time, there are not many Han people alone, and they may not even catch up with the modern southern sticks. (To be continued.) )
