Chapter 86: The vassal king begins to unseal

The Ming Dynasty has been reforming for several years.

Many places are copycat republics, and it's a bit sorry that which backward country wants to catch up with the advanced countries, not from imitation.

Advanced administrative mode, advanced military model, advanced technology and advanced combat skills. It can be said that Daming is innovating every year, and its power has reached new highs every year. But it is precisely because the imitation is so serious that the republic does not expand externally, and they do not expand externally.

Of course, even if the republic expands externally, the Ming Dynasty has no money to expand externally. The overhaul of the navy had already cost them a large amount of tax revenue in the treasury, but they were stillborn before they could see the harvest, and they had no choice but to concentrate on the development of land routes. The softest persimmon seems to be the one from the north.

Not only because it was soft, but most importantly because he surrendered and rebelled, and he was a barbarian country.

The Ming Dynasty can launch an attack on it in the name of the national war, so whoever fights at this time will be added the name of a 'traitor' as soon as possible. Maybe this force was only going to take advantage of a small advantage, but who doesn't want an excuse to expand their territory? Therefore, once it is crowned with the title of 'traitor', then not to mention that the republic will fight, other forces will also attack it en masse, even if it can only expand the territory of one or two counties.

Therefore, fighting against the Manchus is the most appropriate and most cost-saving target at this stage.

The basic policy was determined, the Congress was approved, the Ministry of Finance began to allocate funds, and the non-commissioned officers began to carry out the basic run-in before the transfer. Jin Yiwei also began to get busy, this time in order to maximize the results of the battle, so every qiē was carried out in secret, in order to ensure that it was not known by the Manchu spies, the workload of Jin Yiwei can be imagined.

Specifically, Li Luo worked in the office for more than three days before returning home for the first time, and then started working again after a simple breakfast the next morning.

Such a payment still has a good effect, and in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the fine works of other countries have almost all been uprooted. Why do you say almost, it is because of the low-level meticulous work of several republics, which were deliberately let go. No one knows what Li Luo's heart is, whether he is casting a long line to catch big fish, or just to show goodwill to the republic.

Why show goodwill? It's just because his three sworn brothers are all serving the republic, and they are getting bigger and bigger. If he goes to work because of him, it is his own injustice, but this actually doesn't make sense, after all, loyalty and righteousness cannot be both since ancient times, according to Li Luo's character, he will generally choose loyalty and give up righteousness. So whether there are any other ideas, no one knows.

Li Luo's work was so good that the Manchus were at most complaining about how the Ming counter-espionage project had changed. state, but he will not doubt whether Da Ming will make a big move. It is precisely because of this negligence that they fell into a great deal of passivity at the beginning. In other words, the reason for the ultimate failure is here.

"How's the preparation?" Chongzhen really needs a big victory at this moment to reduce the negative impact of the previous sailing failure.

"The baggage has been prepared and transported in batches to the designated location. Our artillery also quietly transported to the front line in the name of a caravan through a secret route, and when the time came, it was only necessary to pull the shells from the baggage and be able to use it directly. The soldiers set out in civilian clothes in batches, and so far three divisions of soldiers have already set off. According to their itinerary, it will be about six days to arrive at the designated strategic point. At that time, Lu Xiangsheng, Man Gui, and Ma Xianglin will lead the troops to attack, while Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, King Fu and His Royal Highness the King of Tang will lead the artillery to cover later...... Your Majesty, is it really okay to delegate military power to the vassal king? Li Luo asked worriedly.

The strategy of the Ming Dynasty was that the vassal king could not leave the fiefdom, or even be in charge of the military and political affairs. If you want to go out to worship your ancestors, you even have to get the permission of the local officials, and you usually have to be respectful and obedient when you see them, so as to save others a bad mood, and make a small report to the emperor, and you will be unlucky. It can be said that in the later period, Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon sons and grandsons were not as good as a small landlord, not to mention that some of them had even been reduced to the point of commoners and even beggars.

King Fu was in Luoyang, but it was Cao Cao's territory, and he almost became a prisoner when the city was broken, but fortunately, the family resisted desperately, and King Fu was lucky or escaped. When he came to Beijing like a beggar, Chongzhen had also seen King Fu before, and he was also a relatively close brother, so he accepted it and entertained him.

Coincidentally, King Tang also came to Beizhili at about the same time. Of course, this is not the old Tang King Zhu Qiqi, but the little Tang King Zhu Yujian. When the old Tang King became independent in Nanzhili, he became a spiritual leader, but in fact, he was a puppet. Later, when the local general army was established, the Tang king had no value in it. Although the old Tang King will inevitably die, the little Tang King and his family are generally afraid that they will not be spared.

However, Zhu Yujian was clever, and when he saw that the general soldier with great power in his hands wanted to be the emperor, he immediately exchanged clothes with his subordinates, and let the next ** fish and meat for a few days, but he was hungry for a few days. As a result, when the Tang Wang's family was executed, the subordinates' faces were full and ruddy, and they were dressed in silk and satin. And he, the little Tang King, has a yellow face and thin muscles, and is wearing coarse linen clothes. As a result, the subordinate was killed as the king of Xiao Tang, and he managed to avoid the guards and escaped cautiously.

It's almost bumpy, begging like a beggar to get by, and finally touched Beizhili, and became a pair of difficult brothers and sisters with King Fu.

Originally, according to the will of the Congress, the two continued to be the kings, and gave them a piece of land in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. But the two didn't want to continue to be in captivity, they only said that they were willing to serve the country in the army, even if they died on the battlefield.

The Congress and Chongzhen discussed, and the meaning of the Congress was a little vague, not saying that it would not be given or given, but only by looking at Chongzhen's meaning.

Chongzhen was also hesitating, fearing that the prince would overthrow him when he came to power. However, Li Luo's words still made him let go: "In today's army system, who else will rebel with them?" Even if there is a rebellion, where do the ammunition and shells come from? As long as you take care of the petty officers below and the supply of ammunition, then let alone the two local small vassal kings, I am afraid that even if you become an ancestor and Taizu is reincarnated, there is nothing you can do. ”

Chongzhen woke up, the world of the secret path is indeed different, since Da Ming has changed so many rules, what about changing so many rules? Besides, he has also read this "Kunyu Wanguo Tu", and he feels that this world is really very broad. If the Ming Dynasty wants the martial arts that the previous dynasty could not achieve, then unless the whole world is defeated, I am afraid that it will not stop using troops.

Since the use of troops will not be stopped, then the officers do not have to worry about the fate of the cunning rabbit and the death of the lackey. Besides, even if they are crowned vassal kings at that time, it will be good to seal them all to foreign countries and start scattering leaves for the Ming Dynasty!

Due to various considerations, Chongzhen Tong Guò "Daming Daily" issued a new edict: among the descendants of the Zhu family, those who have the ability to join the army and become officials. But once the person becomes a prince, he must not only be relieved of the treatment of the vassal king, but also appropriately recover some of the fields that were previously issued.

Rao is like this, or many people come to sign up.

Looking at these ragged relatives who have been reduced to more pitiful relatives than beggars, Chongzhen also feels that the previous system is still unable to adapt to the development of the times.

Most of these dragon sons and grandsons have no culture, so they can only be soldiers. However, they will not receive any preferential treatment, and they must start from the lowest level of soldiers, which is a prerequisite for lifting the lockdown. In this regard, no one will have an opinion, after all, it is good to be able to come out and walk around, too many opinions make Chongzhen annoyed, and if he returns to the beginning, who will be responsible?

At this moment, in the troops of the crusade against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, King Fu and King Tang participated. Among the two, Tang Wang is good at artillery command, and Fu Wang is good at staff officers, and both graduated from the training camp early with excellent results. Let them go to the front, also to sharpen them, and then reuse them as appropriate.

In the final analysis, the army is no longer controlled by the two parties, but only under the control of the emperor's majesty, so the emperor Chongzhen, who is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also subconsciously hopes that his relatives can help watch the army, saving the appearance of mountains and factions, and then unable to firmly control it in his own hands.

As for whether the ideal and the reality can be consistent, this can only be proved by time.
