Chapter 149: Zhu Yunxi's plan to cut the feudal domain
Lan Yu's injuries were quickly evaluated by the imperial doctors and declared to be fine.
Just take care of it.
Anyway, he was deprived of military power.
Even the five hundred righteous sons were rude in front of His Majesty the Emperor, so they were exiled to Pingping, and they were assigned to the Kaiping military household by Zhou Xing.
Anyway, without Lan Yu's support, they are just ordinary soldiers.
A few more transfers and it's gone.
Moreover, in the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Yuanzhang announced a new commander-in-chief for the conquest of Annan......
King of Chu.
Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, went south to Guangxi, and his father-in-law, Wang Bi, the Marquis of Dingyuan, went south together.
Then the army and navy of the southern expedition were under his command.
"It's all from your blessing pit!"
The little princess said.
"What does it have to do with my feast?"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
"I also took out the throne given by Taizu, and my father gave him the throne, and my father didn't know that you couldn't make it up, since you wrote it in the Fulu banquet, then the descendants of the sixth brother must be so greedy for money and stingy. What's more, his fiefdom Wuchang controls the upstream, and his father-in-law Wang Bi is also a general, in case there is a different intention in the future, the battleship will go straight down the river and reach the capital in a few days.
My dad really doesn't care.
But you can care.
This is what he recommended to my dad.
Anyway, Lan Yu was injured and couldn't lead the troops, so at least he had to be replaced by a battle-hardened veteran, and it just so happened that his father-in-law Wang Bi was now second only to Lan Yu among the generals, and the sixth brother was the closest to Guangxi.
Just let him go south with the guards, and then Wang Bi will be his deputy. ”
The little princess said.
In fact, this is also the most reasonable choice.
Zhu Zhen was originally the strongest among the southern feudal kings, and he has been leading troops all these years, he is in Wuchang to deal with those Tusi in Hunan, in fact, he has been constantly recruiting over the years, and he was originally at the junction of Hunan and Guizhou this year, where he suppressed the rebellion of Guiyang Shankou, before Lan Yu was stationed in Nanning, so he went directly to take over military affairs.
There is now Lan Yu's deputy, the commander of Zhang Ji, the Marquis of Heqing.
In this way, Zhu Zhen, the king of Chu, is the commander-in-chief, and his father-in-law Wang Bi and Zhang Ji are his deputies.
This combination is sufficient.
To say that among these veterans at present, in addition to those dukes, Hou Boli is considered by prestige, and it is true that Wang Bi can still suppress the generals under Lan Yu.
This is the vanguard of the Ming army in the battle of Yuerhai.
Of course, Zhu Zhen basically didn't expect to return to Wuchang again.
He honestly waited for Annan to move the domain!
Such another strong vassal king was definitely thrown out.
In fact, there are not many such strong vassal kings that really make Zhu Yunxi feel uneasy, it is nothing more than Qin, Jin, Yan, Zhou, Qi and Chu, now that the King of Qi has been solved, the King of Chu being thrown to Annam is also solved, and the King of Qin has also been solved, and he was poisoned as in the original history. The rest is the king of Jin Yan Wednesday, the king of Yan is still in Fusang, the king of Zhou experienced the last private meeting with his father-in-law, and was relatively honest after being taught by Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Jin has lifted the ban, and is currently leading troops in Hetao, but if he is according to the original history, he will soon die.
Of course, Yang Feng knew about this.
And the rest of the King of Shu is old, but he has always been very honest.
And he is Lan Yu's son-in-law.
What's more, it is Cao Zhen, a close confidant of Zhu Biao, who is currently guarding Sichuan, and his nurse is married to him, so of course he is a cronie, so Zhu Yunxi is still at ease with the King of Shu.
And then there is the King of Xiang.
Now that the king of Chu is going south, the suppression of those tusi in Hunan and Guangxi must be the responsibility of the king of Xiang.
He's definitely going to be better.
As for the other cypriot kings, Zhu Yunxi can tolerate them, after all, places like Liaodong, Kaiping, Xuanfu and even Shaanxi and Gansu really can't threaten his throne, and these vassal kings can't even support themselves without the money and food supplied by the imperial court.
There's no money to make a fart.
Zhu Zhi is indeed the best in the economy, but even he has to rely on the supply of the imperial court, without his Yulu, his guards and generals without the Yulu issued by the imperial court, he will not be able to sustain it. These Sai kings are not important, they don't even have the ability to rebel, the real threat is now the king of Jin Yan Wednesday, and there is also the potential king of Xiang, especially the second king of Jin Yan, in the case that Zhu Di has gone to Fusang, now it is the king of Jin who has become the most threatening.
His performance is indeed dishonest.
After all, the assassination of Yang Feng by his subordinates last time has proved that this guy has a lot of deaths.
Especially those who drop the beard.
Over the years, he has mainly been in the northwest of Hetao, which was originally a resettlement place for descending Hu, and he has obtained a lot of such loyal dead soldiers, which is similar to Zhu Di, but Beiping is an attached Mongolian resettlement place, so Zhu Di's subordinates are mostly Mongols.
So......
So just watch the excitement.
There is no need to tell Zhu Yunxi, King Jin actually has three years to live.
Besides, he did die of illness at the beginning of the thirty-first year of Hongwu in his original history, but not now, now the medical level of the Ming Dynasty is the most improved, and he also has a special imperial doctor there, what if he doesn't die by then?
There's no need to do anything else.
Just watch them fight.
"I remember that King Min should also be a vassal now, right?"
Yang Feng said.
Originally, in history, the four kings of Min, Gu, Han, and Shen became vassals in the same year, but this kind of vassal just announced that they would become vassals, and then began to prepare to repair the palace for them, put together guards, and make all kinds of preparations, until they were almost ready to officially set off. So in fact, it took a few years after the announcement to officially pass, and Zhu Zhi's palace has not been repaired yet, and the same batch of feudal lords, such as King Qing, actually have no real palace.
The lands where these kings settled were sparsely populated, and almost all of them were military households.
These military households are meant to fight.
How can there be so many manpower to repair the palace for them.
"The eighteenth brother is said to be preparing to move to Yunnan, the nineteenth brother is already preparing to leave for Xuanfu, and the rest have not moved, and now Liaodong can maintain military supplies is already very nervous, and then go to the two vassal kings, and must not exhaust the Marquis of Wuding to death.
How many people are in the palace of the king of Guangxiu?
Now the manpower of Liaodong is transporting military supplies to Longquan Mansion to ensure the fourth brother's army in Fusang.
Even my brother's palace is no longer repaired.
It is estimated that in three or five years, my father will not let them really go to the domain, even the eighteen and nineteenth brothers are just talking, then the palace still has to be repaired, and Yunxi doesn't want them to become a vassal. Although they are not a threat to the domain, they have to bring a large group of guards and other guards to the domain, and the court will have to give them money and food in the future. Yun Xi thought that in the future, the vassal king's guards would settle the money and food by themselves, and the court would not give them any more money, they all had fiefs, and there was no need to give them any more money.
If you can't afford it, you can ask for the removal of the guards yourself, there are so many guards for a vassal king, there is no need at all.
A few hundred guards are sufficient.
If you want to be rich, then don't go to the vassal and build a palace for them in the capital.
But the guards and subordinate officials are not needed, the court gives him Yulu every year to feed his family, and in the future, each vassal will be fixed in a number, otherwise they will continue to give birth, just like what was said in the Fulu banquet, a vassal king has thousands of Yulu, and all the counties in the country add up to not as many as them, so how can the court bear it?
Just fix a total.
What's more, they live in the capital, and they don't have a subordinate guard, so the expenses are not large, and there must be rewards during the New Year's holidays.
They have enough money to eat and clothe them.
Of course, their fief was sealed by my father.
This must not be abolished, but if they don't go to the domain, the fief will be guarded by the imperial court, and the original income from the fief will be counted as the cost of the imperial court's guard, and they will also be given a little bit every year, even if this is given together in Yulu.
As for how much to give, it depends on the situation. ”
The little princess said.
She got all this information from Zhu Yunxi.
The aunt and nephew have a good relationship.
Of course, the main thing is that her nephew now needs a military advisor who is trustworthy enough and cunning enough, although the little princess is indeed a little lacking in being cunning enough, but the problem is that she doesn't understand and hurry back to ask Yang Feng!
She made Zhu Yunxi a dog-headed military advisor, and Yang Feng made her a military advisor.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxi's future plan to cut the feudal domain has actually taken shape, and those who have already controlled their supply to the feudal domain and forced them to apply for the removal of the guards themselves, anyway, it is useless to protect them. Those who didn't have a vassal gave them two roads, and if they were willing to go to the border to endure hardships, they would go to the domain, but if they didn't have a fortune, they would rely on the income of the fief to maintain it, and if they didn't want to suffer, they stayed in the capital as a duke.
Give it to Yulu.
Let you be rich.
Including those who have already settled in the domain, if they don't want to suffer, they can also give up their fiefdoms and apply to live in Beijing.
But the amount of money given by a vassal every year is a fixed number, if you are willing to have fine clothes and fine food, then you will have less children, and if you are willing to have more children, then you can only live a simple life.
In short, the court in the future will definitely not be like the description in the Fulu banquet, raising hundreds of thousands of clans, and giving them more than half of the annual financial income, just a casual vassal king's annual income can catch up with all the prefectures in the country combined. Not to mention Zhu Yunxi, even those civil officials know that this is completely ridiculous, according to what Fu Luyan said, this is only less than two hundred years later.
Is this still possible?
In the future, the whole country will pay taxes to support them, what will the civil and military generals eat?
The cake is so big, the more you cut it, the less and less you are left, even if the emperor will not be as corrupt as Zhu Yuanzhang in the future, everyone must be greedy to be greedy!
It's all for you, and we don't have to be greedy.
This plan to cut the feudal domain is still very reasonable, especially for the vassal kings, it is still acceptable, at least for those vassal kings who have no ambitions, they don't like to go to the border, but the Liao king still lives in the military camp. Compared with going to these barren and bitter cold places to garrison the border, it is obviously more cost-effective to lead tens of thousands of stone taels every year to be a public servant in the prosperous place of Nanjing, so that Zhu Yunxi's future plan to cut the feudal domain, in the end, what he really has to face is actually Zhu Di, if Zhu Li does not die, add Zhu Li.
As for the lack of strength of the two kings of Zhou Xiang, it is not difficult to solve it.
In short, this plan is smarter than Zhu Yunwen.
The latter's plan to cut the feudal domain was too hasty and naïve, leaving no way back for the feudal king.
"So Fu Lu Yan really helped them a lot, so give them another copy."
Yang Feng said.
"Who do you want to harm?"
Zhang Ying next to her couldn't help but say.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to publish a love story this time."
Yang Fengyi said solemnly.
He did come up with a love story......
"You call this love?"
The little princess looked at his first draft and said in astonishment.
His love story is a peach blossom fan.
The real version, of course.
The previous content is almost the same, but the background is changed to the real Ming Dynasty where the rich are a hundred sheep and the poor are starving, and the situation of Hou Gongzi's family is also depicted, his father has already appeared in the Fulu banquet, and Hou Sui also participated in the digging of the Yellow River.
The plan to flood Kaifeng was proposed by Gao Mingheng, a Henan governor from Shandong, and Huang Shu, a Kaifeng governor from Huizhou, and then agreed to a group of officials, including Hou Sui, who was the commander of the reinforcements at that time, but it was just to flood Li Zicheng. But everyone is a literati, and the poetry and poetry are of course first-class, but when it comes to engineering design, it is definitely not good, so after the Yellow River was opened, it did not follow the design, but quickly poured into an abandoned river, and then rushed straight to Kaifeng, and finally hundreds of thousands of people were drowned.
This process is clearly documented in the National Chronicles.
So Yang Feng didn't wronged him.
As for his real version of the peach blossom fan, the ending is also the most reasonable one of Li Xiangjun's several different versions of the ending, she was taken home by Hou Gongzi as a concubine......
Concubines, of course.
There is no way to do anything else with an identity like hers.
What's more, Hou Gongzi's age, it is impossible not to have a wife.
So she was quickly driven out of the Hou Mansion and rushed to the Hou family's firewood garden, and then died of illness in a dilapidated house, and Yang Feng added a new background to her death, that is, Hou Gongzi, who was already wearing a money rat tail, was standing beside the foreign conqueror with a servile face, instructing the latter to open the Yellow River and let the Yellow River flood the rebel army.
This is also true history.
The real history is that Hou Fangyu proposed a plan to the Qing army to dig the Yellow River and flood the Yuyuan army to resist the Qing Dynasty.
"This is love!"
Yang Feng sighed.
"You're too dark."
The little princess exclaimed.
Civil officials, gentry, vassal kings, wealthy merchants, eunuchs......
The striking area is extremely wide.
Especially Confucianism, Hou Gongzi with a money rat tail, is obviously a great irony, especially compared with the previous content, it is more perfect with the water is too cold, and the wealthy businessmen of a hundred sheep show what luxury is, with the people who rebelled because of famine, the irony effect is excellent.
"That's not right, since it's the capital, why is there no emperor, why is the eunuch a eunuch left behind in Nanjing?"
Zhang Ying suddenly discovered a problem.
"Guess?"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
So the most critical question about this story is where it takes place.
Nanking.
Even if he didn't follow the original version, he just said that the capital was captured and the ministers of Nanjing supported King Fu, then it was clear that the capital was not Nanjing at this time, as for where it was, let people guess. Anyway, he is not the Ming Dynasty, but his fictional dynasty, so you can be bold, use your imagination, and guess where the capital is.
Definitely to the north, of course.
Whether it's Peking or Taiyuan, guess!
