Nanjing, Forbidden City.

A sealed war report came, although there were many surprises, but it was not too outrageous.

After Ma Hongjie occupied Qamdo, he planned to march towards Lhasa. As soon as he walked dozens of miles, Sonam Raoden (the chief executive of Tibet) sent an envoy to surrender, and Tibet was completely recovered.

In the entire Former and Later Tibetan regions, there was no unified army, only monks and nobles ruled. It's okay to fight again, but it's really unnecessary, even if you kill all those nobles, there will be new noble lords in the future.

The Imperial Court then issued the relevant order:

Ade chief (Deqin) and Zhongdian (Zhongdian) are under the jurisdiction of Yunnan Province.

Derong, Xiangcheng, Daocheng, Batang, Litang, Baiyu, Dehua (Dege), Ganduosi (Ganzi), Dajian Furnace (Kangding), Ganduocangtang (Aba), Zaquka (Shitang), all under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province.

Although most of the Kang District is subordinate to Sichuan, the Xikang Hall is set up separately, and the civil and military officials are all from the three products.

The Qinghai Metropolitan Protectorate was established, and the government was located in Xining.

In the eastern, northern, and northeastern parts of Qinghai, where land can be farmed, long-term resettlement is needed to ensure that Qinghai has a sufficient Han population.

All ethnic tribes in Qinghai were canonized as Tusi. Once every three years, the alliance will be held in the Dongke Temple, and the disputes between the various ministries will be resolved through negotiation, and it is not allowed to expand the territory privately, otherwise it will be a renegment of the covenant, and all ethnic groups should rise up and attack it.

The Tibetan Protectorate was established, and the government was located in Lhasa.

Cities were built in Lhasa and Qamdo, and immigrants were immigrated in arable river valleys.

The Kang-Tibet territories allocated to Yunnan and Sichuan must be completely abolished. If any noble lord is disobedient, then continue to fight until everyone is obedient.

Qinghai and Tibet did not forcibly abolish slavery, but commended the abolition of slavery.

Gansu was separated from Shaanxi and established as a separate province, including the whole of Ningxia and part of Qinghai.

"The next 10 years will be to migrate to these places," Zhao said, "and those river valleys must be firmly controlled." On the Kang Zang side, I am afraid that the people are reluctant to go, and give priority to the distribution of criminals to farm! Don't those monks and lay nobles like to raise slaves? Buy some female slaves and marry the criminals who were assigned to Qinghai-Tibet. ”

The ministers are speechless, Heilongjiang needs exiles to be reclaimed, and Qinghai-Tibet also needs exiles to reclaim, where are so many exiled criminals?

Or our British Empire is powerful, the unemployed population in London has exploded, and spitting may lead to exile in Australia.

Zhao Han continued: "There are several eminent monks in Tibet, and Honglu Temple sent envoys to canonize them, and by the way, they discussed the establishment of their fiefdoms. Tell them that in the future, they must obtain permission from the imperial court to reincarnate. ”

For this expedition to Qinghai-Tibet, Zhao Han is quite satisfied.

Since those Mongols have run, let them run. Historically, the Manchu Qing Dynasty pacified Qinghai-Tibet, but only drove Junggar away, and the Mongols would not fight a decisive battle for Qinghai-Tibet.

After all, this is the Xiaoice period, not the warm climate of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty and Tibet were strong at the same time, largely because of the warm climate. The Tang Dynasty's arable line shifted northward, which could suppress the Mongolian steppe. In Tibet's river valleys, the grain production area has also expanded, which can provide a stable grain income for Tibet.

"What about Hami's request for help?" Liu Ziren asked.

Zhao Han smiled: "Let them fight slowly, and then solve it when they have their hands free." ”

Zhao Han's plan was that within 20 years, Jilin would be set aside as a separate province. Rao Le Du Hufu will also become Rehe Province. The western Sichuan Plateau should be carved out to set up Xikang Province. Myanmar's Pingnan Protectorate should be set aside to set up Mon Lai Province (the Yuan Dynasty had Mon Lai Road, which is actually the homonym of Meng Nai).

In Mongolia, Qinghai and Tibet, it is expected to take 30 to 50 years to establish provinces.

The key lies in the Han immigration, combined with school indoctrination, and with military suppression, it will take at least one generation, that is, 20 years to start.

Zhao Han said again: "Fei Ruhe, Zhang Mingshan (Zhang Tieniu), and Huang Changzuo (Huang Qi) are all added to the official Taifu and recalled to Nanjing for use. ”

In fact, these three people are all national princes, and they are all governors of Zuodu, and they should have lived in Nanjing for a long time.

Once Nanjing is prosperous, they can enjoy happiness; second, to remove the command, which can make the emperor feel at ease; Third, it can make room for other generals.

This has been the case in all dynasties.

If you really encounter any big battles, you can send them to the front line as the commander of one side.

In a few years, Li Zheng in Heilongjiang and Jiang Liang in Qinghai will also be recalled to Nanjing to serve as officials in the Governor's Mansion.

After arranging the affairs of Qinghai-Tibet, Zhao Han received an important piece of information before he could rest for a few days: "Your Majesty, the Governor of Malacca has sent news that the Netherlands have captured the port of Naga Patam. ”

"It's so fast!" Zhao Han couldn't help but sigh.

The Portuguese colonial ports on the east coast of India were all lost, and they were all taken by the Dutch.

Perhaps, this will boost the share price of the East India Company, and the Netherlands has not yet recovered from the stock market crash.

In the winter of this year, Fei Ruhe, Zhang Tieniu, and Huang Qi returned to Nanjing successively to sit in the Governor's Mansion.

Zhang Tieniu hasn't been back for several years, and when he saw the river full of ice floes, he almost lost his eyeballs: "This Yangtze River is also frozen!" Chongzhen has never been so cold in his years. ”

The sailor general on the ship said: "It is Rui Bing, the Holy Son of Heaven came into the world, and only then can there be this auspicious omen." ”

Zhang Tieniu rolled his eyes, he had only heard of Rui Xue before, and today he heard of Rui Bing for the first time.

He stayed in the Nanjing mansion for a few days, and Fei Ruhe returned, and was invited by the emperor to drink with Huang Qi. At the same time, Jiang Dashan, Gu Jianshan, Yang Zhan and other military generals were invited, all of whom are currently serving in the Governor's Mansion.

"Come on, let's do this first!" Old friends gathered, Zhao Han was very happy.

Except for Yang Zhan, the rest of the people present are all guys who have joined forces.

Zhang Tieniu swallowed a few cups of yellow soup, and then asked, "Your Majesty, when are you going to fight Mobei?" Mobei has been in turmoil for many times, and Jungar has been in internal strife, and now he is very weak. ”

Zhao Han said with a smile: "Don't worry, within three or five years, you will definitely send troops to Mobei." When the time comes, the soldiers will be divided into two routes, you are the commander of the Eastern Route Army, and Fei Er (Fei Ruhe) is the commander of the Western Route Army. ”

"That's decided," Zhang Tieniu smiled, "Lao Fei said what he wanted to Le Shi Yanran and seal the wolf Juxu, I don't read much, but I also know the champion Hou." With such a credit, how can I get a share of the iron bull! ”

Zhao Han asked, "How does it feel to go back to Nanjing?" ”

Zhang Tieniu laughed: "It's comfortable here, much more comfortable than the grassland." ”

Fei Ruhe also said: "I don't even want to leave." ”

Zhao Han teased: "Last time, you said that Nanjing was boring and wanted to go to the north to fight early. Such a great crime of deceiving the king will punish you with three cups. ”

"Drink! I'm going to change to a big cup. Zhang Tieniu coaxed.

Fei Ruhe could only smile bitterly and drink, while Huang Qi didn't talk much.

The atmosphere is a little subtle, and I can't find the feeling of the year anymore. Except for Zhang Tieniu, everyone else is a little unable to let go.

Zhao Han saw that Huang Qi was relatively silent, so he took the initiative to talk to him: "What else should we pay attention to in Kang and Tibet? ”

Huang Qi said: "There is nothing in the snow area, and the Kang area will definitely have a war next year." ”

"Oh, tell me about it." Zhao Han said.

Huang Qi immediately opened the conversation: "The Kham region has fully released the slaves, how can those Tibetan Tusi who have surrendered, or even Tibetan monks, be willing to hand over the slaves?" The order of the imperial court will be issued next year, and there will inevitably be rebellions in the Kang area. I'm afraid I'm going to have to fight again! ”

"Then fight," Zhao Han said, "in the future, Kang District will be established as Xikang Province, and slavery must be abolished." It's better to fight again, and kill all the disobedient! ”

"Your Majesty." Huang Qi flattered.

Zhao Han pointed to Jiang Dashan again: "I heard that you have formed a family?" ”

Huang Qi explained: "In the past, in Jiangxi, I decided to have a family affair. This time, when the minister returned to Nanjing, he completed the marriage contract. ”

"This is a good thing, and I will definitely give birth to a tiger in the future." Zhao Han said approvingly.

This meal was a little awkward, as the emperor, Zhao Han actually needed to liven up the atmosphere himself.

I can only say that after not seeing each other for many years, everyone has been divided.

After the beginning of spring, it is necessary to gather at the horse farm, and go hunting together in autumn next year, so as to get closer to the relationship between the emperor and the generals.

In the blink of an eye, winter goes to spring.

Following Zhao Kuanghuan and Zhao Furong, Zhao Hanjin and Zhao Kuangyu also got married one after another, and the four princes and princesses have formed families.

According to the statistics of finance in February, the national annual income increased to 53 million taels (including local provincial interceptions).

Among them, agricultural tax accounted for 62%, industrial and commercial tax accounted for 20%, customs duties accounted for 17%, and overseas territory revenue accounted for 1%.

This data surprised the ministers very much.

Liu Ziren said: "According to the statistics of the Ministry of Finance, the tariffs of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shandong provinces increased significantly last year. ”

Zhao Han smiled and didn't speak.

In addition to the increase in trade with Liaodong and Korea, the increase in tariffs in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang also benefited from the rampant smuggling by the Japanese feudal lords.

The shogun was young, and the shogun's uncle took the lead in smuggling, and the lords of the sea everywhere followed suit. In one year, the volume of trade with Japan almost doubled, and the tariffs of the three provinces naturally increased.

When Japan's smuggling trade is normalized, and the shogun becomes an adult, it may be difficult to recover the situation.

At that time, even if China does not interfere, Japan will have to fight internally.

Zhu Shunshui stroked his beard with a smile: "Last year's conquest of Qinghai-Tibet went smoothly, and the annual income rose sharply, with a financial surplus of 2.72 million, and I was finally able to take a breath." ”

In addition to the increase in tariffs, the full amount of taxes was also levied in Liaoning last year, which is also the reason for the skyrocketing annual income - in order to develop Liaoning and encourage people to emigrate, they have been engaged in tax reductions and exemptions.

The ministers were all smiling, and they were finally much more relaxed.

Zhao Han said: "This year's Shangsi Festival, the national holiday is five days, except for the border land, the city gate is not closed!" ”

In the past, there was only a three-day holiday, but this year there is a five-day holiday, and the government and the opposition can let go.

Of course, it is very close to the Shangsi Festival, and the farther provinces are estimated to have no time to adjust the holiday.

After the news broke, the city of Nanjing was boiling both inside and outside, and shops and hawkers were recuperating, waiting for the Shangsi holiday to make a lot of money.

Zhao Han called all the civil and military officials, and the envoys from various countries also called them, and took the concubines and children to carry out outing activities.

This can not only boost people's hearts, but also stimulate the economy, and bring the relationship between the monarch and the minister closer. Anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang often does this, and in the early middle and early Ming Dynasty, it was popular to go on a trip, which was the head of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he had to pull the minister out for an outing almost every year.
