Chapter 237: Looking to the Future, Zhu Youzhen and Dolgon
As for improving the literacy rate, Zhu Youzhen knew that this was another huge project that he, the emperor, had to do during his reign in the Ming Dynasty.
In the area of universal education, Zhu Youzhen believes that there is not much difference between the gentry class and the common people.
Promoting education and education has always been advocated by Confucianism, and Zhu Youzhen wants to improve the literacy rate of the people of the Ming Dynasty and let more people read and write, but he will not have too much conflict with the civil and official clique.
However, the development of education has always been a test of the state's finances, and the only way to tilt educational resources towards the common people is to pay more money from the state treasury.
Make hay!
Zhu Youzhen felt that he would have to change the way he attacked the gentry clique that occupied more vested interests in the future, and when the contradictions were no longer so intense, physical elimination was not a good way, and economic punishment and other punishments that were more conducive to his own political goals might be better.
Behind is still the flowery Yangzhou City, and in front of him is still the vast and quiet Yangtze River, Zhu Youzhen stood on the bow of the boat, thinking about his blueprint for the future construction of the Ming Dynasty, and couldn't help but hold the railing of the ship tighter for a while.
Looking at Duoduo, Kong Youde, and Bolo who were still locked in the cabin and tightly locked by three layers of iron nets, and there were still countless Yangzhou gentry and people standing on the riverbank.
There will be times when you ride the wind and waves, and you can't imagine what the future Da Ming will become in his hands.
……
When Zhu Youzhen returned to Beijing, the regent of the Qing court at this time, Dolgon, also stood on the palace wall, looking at the remnants of the clouds in the sky, imagining that he was about to lay down the Ming Dynasty, what a glorious cause it would be, although he was not the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but he created the greatest foundation for the Qing Dynasty!
Looking at the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai in the palace behind him, who had just been personally awarded rain and dew by himself, Dolgon was even more arrogant and ordered someone to call Shi Ning Wan of Hongwen Academy: "According to the calculation of time, Prince Yu is only afraid that he has already conquered Jiangnan at this moment, and captured Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen alive, Prince Azig should have occupied Huguang, and as soon as the Zhu Ming court is removed, the whole world will be returned to me in the Qing Dynasty." ”
"Back to the prince, now I am only afraid that the news of victory will enter Beijing, as the prince said, as soon as Zhu Ming is destroyed, the Qing Dynasty will open a new era, and not only that, with the wealth of the south of the Yangtze River, you can also solve the difficulties of the north a little, because of this shaving order and the remnants of Zhu Ming can also settle down, plus Kaienke, rest with the people, do not worry that my Qing Dynasty will not appear in the cause of a prosperous world."
Ning Wan and I respectfully rolled over to Dol, but just as he began to talk about how to create a prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty, a strong wind suddenly blew, directly lifting the brim of his hat, revealing a pinch of Ning Wan's money rat tail, Ning Wan I couldn't help but chase over and pick up the brim of the hat, and smiled awkwardly at Dolgon.
"Sun Zhiqi's shaving order, when the state capitals continue to strictly promulgate it, if they do not comply, they will be immediately pardoned, in addition, the Ming Emperor will be escorted to Beijing in a few days, how to settle this former Ming emperor, but it is also a problem," Dolgon said.
"Why did the prince escort him into Beijing, Zhu Youzhen would not die for a day, and Zhu Ming's remnants would be unwilling for a day, so he might as well let him die on the way to Beijing", Ning finished saying this, and Dolgon nodded: "That's fine, you immediately send a secret decree to Prince Yu Duoduo, ordering him to find a way to secretly get rid of Zhu Ming's royal family on the way to Beijing." ”
"Tomorrow is the day of the great rise, you tonight with a few college students who are discussing politics, Gang Lin, Feng Quan, Qi Chongge and others, first discuss and discuss the matter of the pursuit of the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen, as well as the funeral, and then in the court, report to the Long Live Lord for permission", Dolgon was determined that the Prince of Yu Duoduo's southern expedition to the Ming Dynasty would be able to win, so he thought about letting Ning Wan and other scholars of the Hongwen Academy prepare for the death of the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen.
Early the next morning, the regent Dorgon entered the palace in great costume, and he was joined by the auxiliary prince Zilharang.
From a certain point of view, Dolgon is not without opponents in the court, and the opponent is the uncle of the Shunzhi Emperor, Zilharang, and the gap between the two forces is not big now, and it can be regarded as equal. Although Xiaozhuang had an affair with Dolgon, he did not suppress Jierharang, in order to find a balance and create a stable political environment for his son Emperor Shunzhi.
But now Dorgon believed that after the triumphant return of his two younger brothers, Dodor and Azig, his own prestige would overpower Zilharan, and at that time, he would be able to dispose of Zilharan easily.
Not only did Dolgon think so, but Dolgon's cronies and ministers, Beizi Tunqi, Shang Shan, Tunqika, and the university scholars Ganglin, Feng Quan, Qi Chongge, Ning Wan and others also thought so, and they all looked at Zierharang and a group of cronies behind him.
At this time, Zilharang also knew that Dorgon's power was getting bigger and bigger, especially after receiving the support of a group of Ming court ministers, and it was even more prosperous, plus Duoduo and Azig, who were about to return from victory, were Dolgon's cronies, so although Zilharang was at the same level as Dolgon, he still gave Dolgon a salute first: "I haven't seen the regent for many days, how is it recently?" ”
"Thanks to Brother Wang's blessing, the foolish brother has been quite healthy recently, and he has to sacrifice dogs and horses for the great cause of the reunification of the Qing Dynasty!" Dorgon replied and stood at the front of the court.
At this time, Zilharang also stood on the right side of Dolgon, smiled slightly, and waited for the Qing Emperor Shunzhi to appear.
Long live the mountain.
Dolgon stood up first, and without waiting for the little emperor to shout flat, he said: "Long live Lord, Prince Duoduo of Yu and Prince Azignan of Ying have been on an expedition to the Ming Dynasty for several months. ”
As soon as Dorgon finished speaking, he heard a shout from outside: "Report, eight hundred miles of urgent express!" ”
Dolgon couldn't help but keep his mouth shut, and when he looked back, he saw a man running at a speed with a command flag.
At this time, the university scholar Ganglin couldn't help but say to Chen Mingxia, the servant of the ministry: "The news of victory must have come, Prince Yu and Prince Ying are brave and good generals, but it is still amazing to eradicate the Ming court in such a short period of time!" ”
Dolgon also showed a smile, waiting for the man to come in: "But the news from Jiangnan? ”
"Long live Lord Qiyu, regent, auxiliary king! In mid-May, it was reported that Prince Yu was defeated in Yangzhou, my Qing Dynasty Iron Cavalry was annihilated, Prince Yu and King Gongshun were captured, and King Shuosai of Duoluo County was killed! ”
