Wang Pu was puzzled and said: "Killing Hu Ling can make the northern state capitals of Beizhili the best source of soldiers in the Central Army?" How do you say that? ”

Liu said: "When the Wuhu Rebellion was in China, Wu Mourning Heavenly King Ran Min once issued an order to kill Hu, but the order to kill Hu proposed by our staff today is different from Ran Tianwang's order to kill Hu!" ”

Wang Pu said: "What's the difference?" ”

Liu Ru said: "The Han people were on the verge of extinction during the Wuhu Rebellion, so it was the obligation of all Han people to kill Hu at that time, but now that we are in sight of the Ming Dynasty, the Han nation will soon become the most powerful nation in the world again, so there is no need to kill Hu in order to continue the blood of the Han people, which makes the majority of Han people lose the driving force to kill Hu, so it is necessary to inject new impetus into the killing order." ”

Wang Pu said happily: "Go on." ”

Liu said: "Due to the ravages of Jiannu and the Mongol Tatars, the population of Beizhili has decreased sharply, and those people who have fled to the south are likely to be accustomed to the stable life in the south, and they may not be willing to return to Beizhili to start over. ”

"The idea of the General Staff is this, you can issue a killing order to the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and those who voluntarily migrate to settle in Beizhili, the government will give ten acres of land, and those who settle in Beizhili will not be guilty of killing Hu people, and each time you kill a Jiannu or Tartar, you can get a reward of ten taels of silver!"

"Good idea." Wang Pu couldn't help but shout, "In this way, the landless peasants from all provinces will come to settle in Beizhili, due to the promulgation of the order to kill Hu, the Jiannu and Tatar troops who wandered in Beizhili will soon be hunted by these migrated people, and then, the people of Beizhili are likely to spontaneously organize armed forces to enter the steppe or Liaodong to hunt in order to reward silver, but their prey is not wild beasts, but Jiannu or Tartars." ”

If this is the case, it is somewhat similar to the white invasion of North America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

At that time, in order to obtain more land and production resources, the white people continued to advance from the east coast to the central and western regions, gradually encroaching on the habitat of the indigenous Indians of North America, and finally millions of Indians were almost wiped out by the whites, and the huge North America became completely the world of the white people.

And in the process of encroaching westward, a very special group was born - the western cowboy.

The pioneering spirit of the western cowboys eventually forged what would become the national spirit of the United States of America, which eventually propelled the United States of America to the top of the world.

If the order put forward by the General Staff to kill Hu was slightly revised, it is likely that the same effect would be achieved.

It's just that the white people are encroaching on the habitat of the indigenous Indians of North America to the west, while the Han people are encroaching on the habitats of the indigenous Mongols, Jurchens, and Koreans of North Asia to the north.

But it is undeniable that this special group of people and soldiers will indeed become the best source of soldiers for the Central Army!

The "northern cowboys", a special group that may appear, are likely to inject belligerent, expansion, enterprising, and pioneering factors into the soul of the Han nation.

And this is exactly what Wang Pu needs most, Wang Pu did not want to plunder too much land for the Ming Empire in his lifetime, nor did he think about destroying all the barbarian foreign races in his lifetime, he did not need to rule the whole world, but he must inject the elements of warlikeness, expansion, pioneering and enterprising in the spirit of the Han nation.

"In this ......way," Wang Pu muttered, "I would like to put forward three revisions first: first, the scope of application of the order can be expanded to the five provinces of Beizhi, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Henan; Second, on the basis of the cash silver reward, one more article is added, and for each Jiannu or Tartar killed, you can get 100 acres of pasture in the grassland or 10 acres of farmland outside the customs; Third, in order to prevent the Han people from killing each other and taking risks, the governor-general offices of the five northern provinces need to formulate a strict review system and punishment measures. ”

These three articles added by Wang Pu are undoubtedly quite specific to the surname.

The purpose of expanding the scope of application of the Hu killing order to the five northern provinces is to expand the group of "northern cowboys", and to increase pastures and estates in the incentive measures is to induce these "northern cowboys" to cooperate with the Central Army to gradually encroach on the grasslands and large areas of unowned land in eastern Liaodong, so that these northern cowboys with a pioneering spirit can become the vanguard of the Central Army.

As for the third article, in order to prevent the killing of Hu Ling from getting out of control and becoming the source of trouble in China, especially not to involve the aborigines of the southern provinces of the Ming Empire, Wang Pu will never allow the "southern cowboys" to appear.

As a traverser, Wang Pu knew that there were no 56 ethnic groups in the land of China at all!

The so-called 56 ethnic groups are actually forcibly divided by some unaware so-called bullshit experts, professors, and scholars who have nothing to do when they are full of food, and these bastards have forcibly divided many non-existent ethnic minorities from the Han nationality in order to be able to do so and to show their "profound" knowledge.

In fact, there are almost no ethnic minorities in southern China, and almost all of them are the descendants of the ancient Han people who migrated from the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, and they are all part of the Han nationality with the Han people living in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins.

It is only because of geographical restrictions that a unique language and customs have been formed in thousands of years of history.

It is completely illogical to forcibly divide ethnic groups according to their place of settlement, language, and customs! According to this standard, the current Cantonese people should be the Yue people, the current Fujian people should be the Min people, the current Zhejiang people should be the Yue people, and the current Jiangsu people should be the Wu people, they can't be regarded as Han people in the real sense, but is this logical?

Wang Pu did not want these compatriots in the south, who were nominally alien, but in fact had the same clan as the Han people, to become victims of Hu Ling's killing like the Jiannu and the Tatars, and for the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens, Mongols, Tibetans, Uighurs, Koreans, Was, Semu people, and so on were alien races.

Liu Ru carefully recorded the three items added by Wang Pu, and was about to turn around and leave, when Liu Qingyan suddenly walked in happily and said happily: "Master Hou, if you are a sister, Yanjing has recovered." ”

"Oh?" Wang Pu hurriedly asked, "Is the Forbidden City damaged?" ”

"Nope." Liu Qingyan shook his head and said, "Tang Sheng said in the Flying Pigeon Biography that the Forbidden City is intact!" ”

"Okay." Wang Pu slammed the knot and said, "Well done, Ben Hou wants to personally ask the imperial court for the merits of Tang Sheng and the soldiers of the mixed battalion." ”

"But ......," Liu Qingyan's tone darkened, and then said, "However, the people in Yanjing City were tragically devastated, and less than 30,000 of the more than 300,000 people survived, and those who first descended to thieves and then to Jiannu also all died in prison, and none of them survived!" ”

"These scum scum are innocent." Wang Pu said this, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, "It's just a pity that the 300,000 innocent people in Yanjing City are gone, but this blood debt will one day be repaid from Jiannu and Tatars, and the blood of our Han people will not be shed in vain, and it will be repaid tenfold or hundredfold in the future!" ”

Liu Qingyan and Liu Ru were silent, and they all felt bitter hatred from Wang Pu's eyes.

With a long sigh of relief, the hatred and killing intent in Wang Pu's eyes gradually faded, and he turned around and said: "Immediately pass the book to Nanjing Feige, and send back the good news of Jining's victory and Yanjing's recovery, so that the long live lord, the old man, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the whole country is happy and happy, our Ming Empire has suffered too much, and now it should be happy and happy." ”

"Yes."

Liu Qingyan responded and went happily.

Nanjing, Wenhua Palace.

Sun Chuanting is wearing reading glasses in the review of the list of officials who are about to be released to the prefects of various provinces in Shandong, there is no doubt that most of these officials are from the Donglin Fushe, at present, Yangming University has just begun to run the school, the first batch of 200 students of the crash course are still working and studying in Jiande at the earliest, and they will not be able to graduate until the spring of next year at the earliest, as for the students in the regular class, it is a three-year school system, so it is even more unexpected.

Of course, Wang Pu and Sun Chuanting know that it is not a good thing to let the Donglin Restoration Society continue to sit like this, although Wang Pu holds the military power in his hands and is not afraid that the Donglin Restoration Society will cause something, but the Donglin Restoration Society is really going to lose control, and it will not be fun to connect with Emperor Longwu again, Wang Pu does not want to bear the thousand-year-old infamy of "burning books and pit Confucianism".

In view of this, Sun Chuanting thought of the Taizhou School.

The Taizhou school adheres to the Yangming doctrine, and is consistent with the Sunwang group in promoting the Yangming doctrine, which lays a political foundation for the alliance between the Sunwang group and the Taizhou school.

Sun Chuanting reluctantly selected more than a dozen Confucian scholars from the Taizhou school and sent them to Shandong Province, which had just been recovered, to be the magistrate.

Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi know Sun Chuanting's thoughts, but these two old foxes are already old and sophisticated, of course they are pretending to be confused, but then again, even if the two of them have ideas in their hearts, they don't dare to contradict them, they have already seen Wang Pu's methods to deal with political enemies, and they don't want to be cut by Wang Pu like Gao Hongtu.

Qian Qianyi took the initiative to say: "Elder Sun Ge, these Taizhou students have good character and talent, so it's better to make up for the prefect, right?" ”

"No." Sun Chuanting shook his head and muttered, "Although the character of these people is decent, their abilities are mediocre, and the county is already reluctant, and the prefect is harming them, and at the same time, it is also harming the people, and the old man must not take special care of them because they are Mr. Yangming's protégés." ”

Qian Qianyi patted the horse's leg on the horse's leg, smiled and stopped talking.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the Wenhua Palace, and immediately an official from the Department of Communication rushed in and shouted urgently: "Three elders, great victory!" Jining victory! Yenching ...... Yanjing has also recovered, hahaha, Yanjing, the former capital of the Ming Dynasty, has been recovered! ”

"Poof."

The brush in Sun Chuanting's hand trembled, and a drop of thick ink suddenly dripped on a note, and the handwriting on the note was immediately blackened.

Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi on the side stood up even more vigorously, and their old faces were full of indescribable excitement.

"Three Pavilion Elders!" Seeing that Sun Chuanting and the three of them didn't seem to have any reaction, the official of the political envoy emphasized again, "Jining has won a great victory, the Central Army has completely defeated Jiannu, and Yanjing, the former capital of the Ming Dynasty, has also been recovered!" ”

"Good, good, good!"

Sun Chuanting said hello three times in a row, and sat back on the Taishi chair.

Qian Qianyi's old face turned red with excitement, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but Lu Daqi suddenly knelt down towards the north, and cried bitterly with his head: "First Emperor, if you have a spirit in the sky, you should also smile at Jiuquan at this time!" Therefore, the capital has been restored, Daming Zhongxing is in sight, Daming Zhongxing is in sight......"

At this moment, a violent commotion suddenly sounded outside the Wenhua Palace.

The official of the General Administration Department said excitedly: "Three elders, you listen, hundreds of officials from the DPRK and China have gathered outside the Donghua Gate, and they are about to enter the palace to congratulate the Long Live Lord!" At this time, I guess Long Live Lord has already known these two great good news, and he also knows how happy he will be. ”

"Let's go." Sun Chuanting finally came back to his senses from the huge shock, stood up and looked up to the sky and said with a long smile, "Elder Qian Ge, Elder Lu Ge and Master Chen, quickly go to the gate of Donghua to gather hundreds of civil and military officials, and follow the old man into the palace to face the saint, such great news, can't the monarchs and ministers have fun together?" Hahaha......"

"Yes, yes, yes, enter the palace immediately."

"It is natural for the monarch and the ministers to be happy, and to be happy with the people!"

Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi also echoed at the same time, and both of them showed heartfelt ecstasy on their faces, especially Lu Daqi's crying just now was not a gesture, but out of true feelings.

Qianqing Palace.

Because of the fall of power, Emperor Longwu does not need to go to the court every time, today he is idle and is in the palace with King Yong, King Ding to discuss the way to govern the country, Princess Changping sat next to him and listened with relish, King Yong Zhu Cijiong just finished a long speech, a little eunuch suddenly came in a hurry outside the palace, shouting in a sharp voice: "Long live the Lord is happy, Long live the Lord is happy......

Since the fall of Gao Hongtu, Emperor Longwu's mood has not been good, and he frowned at that time and shouted: "Where does the joy come from? ”

"Uh......" The little eunuch snorted, and hurriedly said, "Long live the lord, there was good news from outside the palace just now, saying that the central army has defeated Jiannu in Jining, and even the old capital Yan Kyoto has been recovered." ”

"Oh?" When Emperor Longwu heard this, Huo Ran got up and said in a condensed voice, "The Central Army defeated Jiannu in Jining, and even Yanjing has been recovered?" ”

"yes." The little eunuch was so excited that his tone became a little trembling, "The three pavilion elders have already led hundreds of officials from the court and the central government into the palace to see the driver, saying that they want to go out of the palace with the Long Live Lord and celebrate with the people of Nanjing!" ”
