Ambassador Yang has worked so hard, and of course everyone should understand his difficulties.

So......

It's all gone!

Just like Ambassador Yang said, are you worthy of holding grievances to these princes?

Or can it be said......

Are you cheap?

"It's really cheap.

Since ancient times, this kind of cheap behavior has been common.

A group of low-level brick-movers are upset for billionaires, a group of ordinary people are upset for the powerful, a group of ruled people are upset for the ruling class, and a group of minions are upset for the masters, as if they feel the same way, but they don't want to think about whether you are worthy? ”

Yang Feng looked at the soldiers who had been scattered by him and sighed.

Of course, these soldiers also went back to their own homes.

However, he promised them that the imperial court would definitely abolish some of the northern guards in the future.

It's a given.

With the submission of the Mongols, the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty's northern border system no longer existed, and the hundreds of thousands of military households set up for this purpose had lost their combat targets, and raising them cost the imperial court a huge amount of money. It is not true that military households do not need to be raised by the imperial court, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not have to transport a large amount of military food to Jiubian every year, just their equipment maintenance, training, horses, military uniforms, and officials at all levels under the guard system are all required to pay for the imperial court. After the large-scale use of firearms, the annual training expenses alone can be said to be a huge amount of money, so the military households in the north will inevitably be abolished.

But......

It's just a matter of cutting and streamlining.

Maintaining a strong army in the north remains essential.

After all, whether it is Mongolia or a vulture, these are all only temporary submissions.

In the future, whenever they have the opportunity, they will still do things.

In Yang Feng's plan, like Huining, Yan Ran, and Hanhai Sandu Division, not only can they not be reduced, but they also have to increase the number of guards, just like Yan Ran and Hanhai, at least they have three guards, but they are not stationed for generations like the mainland military households, but they are on duty like these guards in the Whale Sea.

But then they have to get enough benefits locally.

Therefore, it has to be developed.

As for the Four Capital Divisions of the Western Regions, he had already designed this with Zhu Di before.

It's still the same model of armed reclamation companies.

These places are different from the two capital divisions of Mobei, Mobei is really not much worth developing, and it is impossible to continue immigration, while the four capital divisions of the Western Regions can accommodate all the current population of the Ming Dynasty even if they all move over. Therefore, for these four capitals, we must continue to migrate even from generation to generation, so that if we want the people in the interior to travel thousands of miles, we must adopt the model of armed reclamation. The military household system is not reasonable, and it is restricted by the imperial court, but there are no restrictions at all on commercial armed reclamation, after all, it is still darker to do things there.

As for places like Henan, Beiping, Shaanxi, especially Xuanda, Daning, and Liaodong, the guards can be greatly reduced.

Restoration of civil citizenship.

The property of the guard was distributed directly to them.

In fact, they don't really mean that they have to go back to the south, and many of these military households are northerners, as long as they divide the fields and don't have to pay nearly half of the output to the guards every year, then they can also have enough food and clothing. Besides, even if they want to go back to the south now, there is not so much land in the south, and many of them have moved north for almost thirty years, and a large number of people have already been born in their places of origin for such a long time, and it is no longer the time for them to go north. They have been in the north for nearly thirty years, and they have established a together, and the south has long since lost their home, and most of them have actually stayed after the land has been divided.

It's a big deal to give subsidies.

Military households like this can treat them as if they were retired.

Give retirement pay.

Give until you die.

In short, the army of 200,000 was finally dismissed by Yang Feng in a few words.

He and the little princess then entered Kaifeng.

The kings led by the king of Zhou greeted the city gate with some gloom, and the little princess read the decree to her brothers and nephews, and these vassal kings also accepted the decree. Then Yang Feng and the little princess waited here, and half a month later, the four kings of Yan Liaoning Valley arrived, but this time they didn't bring a large number of guards, but Guo Ying's coffin was added.

Yellow River crossing.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the heroes, the success or failure is empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times!"

Zhu Di in the sunset looked at the surging Yellow River in front of him with some embarrassment.

On the dock next to him, Guo Ying's coffin was being carried out.

The King of Liao was full of filial piety and personally carried the coffin of his father-in-law, at this time the truth had flowed out, Guo Ying was persuaded by his painstaking persuasion, and finally chose to prove his loyalty to Emperor Daxing. Moreover, driven by the Marquis of Wuding, there were several second-level veterans who did not have to follow Emperor Daxing, and they also chose to follow Emperor Daxing. For example, Yuan Hongzhi and his ilk, they are sincere, after all, they are buried with filial piety and enjoy the Taimiao, which can really be said to be a golden body for their descendants. Anyway, they are already old and have no ambitions, so it is better to use this way to exchange this letter of guarantee for wealth and glory for their children and grandchildren than to die of old age.

After this round of deaths, the only remaining founding minister who has not died is Wang Bi.

As for him......

His son-in-law will figure it out.

Although he was in Annan, it was only the Ming civil strife that had not ended, and once the civil strife ended, he would not have any chance.

What else is there?

However, the He family is the second generation.

But the He family is really in charge of He Di, He Zhen's younger brother, so he is qualified to be a brother with Emperor Daxing, since he must die in this way, as for He Zhen's son, He Rong, who inherited the title of Dongguan Earl, does not have to.

"Everyone who should go is gone, I don't know what the ambassador wants to do with me?"

Zhu Di then said.

"The king laughed, I'm an outsider, how to say the word disposition, but the queen is about to give birth, if the queen really gives birth to a new king, the king and the vassal kings will naturally return to their fiefs. The king's fiefdom in the Western Regions, this is set by the Emperor Daxing, but then the new monarch will inevitably be unable to manage the government when he is young, so the military administration of the Western Regions has to entrust you, the uncle, to add a governor to the king, how about the military administration of the Western Regions? However, the officials of the four capital divisions of the Western Regions still have to be sealed by the imperial court, that is, they are controlled by the king, and the king of the land outside the four capital divisions can take it by himself, and they are all regarded as the king's fiefdoms.

But I suggest that the king leave Timur alone.

You can first march west from Hanhai Dusi to the Kipchak Khanate, and the moon is goodbye, and Gui Lichi and others have all surrendered, just under the banner of re-establishing the moon that others are the Golden Horde. ”

Yang Feng said.

That's it.

Enough for Zhu Di to start his westward expedition.

The direct subordinate areas of the imperial court are still Anxi, Beiting, Dawan and Kunling, and the fiefdom of King Yan is sandwiched in the middle.

Therefore, no matter how Zhu Di develops and how much territory he occupies in the West, his core is still the fiefdom of King Yan, and he is still in the territory directly under the Ming Dynasty.

Just like the four khanates.

It became an ancestor with the Ming Emperor, subject to the Ming Emperor, but in fact an independent vassal state.

However, it is indeed not appropriate to start a war with Timur at present, the latter is still too strong, so Zhu Di should win over Gui Lichi and others, and then use the fact that Yue is someone else belongs to the Kipchak Khanate system and has been a Golden Horde, and encourages Yue that others go to grab the Golden Horde's throne. And Zhu Di and Gui Lichi and other Mongolian generals supported Yue Ji Bei together, and finally everyone joined forces to attack the Golden Horde, subdued the Mongols of the Golden Horde system, and pulled them into the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty.

Then you can use the shell of the Golden Horde to control the Eastern European Plain.

In this way, with the Ming Dynasty in its back, the Kipchaks in the west, the Rurik family in the north, Poland and Lithuania in the west, and Timur in the south, the trade route extended to the Black Sea in one fell swoop, and trade with the Mediterranean coast could be carried out.

King Yan of the Great Ming Dynasty has become the whip of the new generation of God.

It's very funny.

"What about the kings?"

Zhu Di asked.

He also accepted this plan.

He can't do without the support of the mainland, whether it is the military industry, trade, or immigration, all of which have to rely on the mainland.

The Western Regions is indeed vast and boundless, enough for him to conquer for a lifetime, but the problem is that there must be people, and he can't really rely on guards, although his guards have increased to five, but the total is only about 20,000 people, which can complete a ploughing and sweeping raid, but cannot conquer.

Even for Timur's level, he couldn't do it by plowing the court and sweeping the holes.

Last time there was Yang Feng.

And when he went south alone, it was already sixty or seventy thousand cavalry.

Lakh!

He had to have at least 100,000 troops.

Without the full support of the mainland, it would have been impossible for him to realize his dream of sweeping the Western Regions.

"Kings, after entering Beijing, the Zhu family will sit down and talk about it by themselves, the principle of swaying Your Majesty has long been decided, those who want a fief, a few Sai kings have a fief for each person, and those who want to enter Beijing to enjoy happiness will enter Beijing to receive a fortune. If you have ambitions and are willing to open up, then you will move the domain like a king, and there is a good place to the south, and the Western Regions will be given to the king, and there are other vassal kings in Nanyang who are willing to go, and the court will support it. ”

Yang Feng said.

It's good that they're willing to go.

One South Asian subcontinent alone is enough to throw all the vassal kings over.

In fact, it is also good for them.

Anyway, India is a caste system, let's just say that they are Kshatriyas, first conquer by force, and then buy the Brahmin nobles, let's say that these Ming vassal kings are the top Kshatriyas, where the Sultans are currently suppressing the Hindus, if the Ming vassal kings can defeat the Sultans, then the Brahmins will definitely be happy to accept these new Kshatriyas.

And then one person and a small country.

In the future, they will rely on the Ming Dynasty, and they will be able to live a very prosperous life just by relying on trade.

Similarly, the immigrants and merchants from the Ming Dynasty were all Kshatriyas.

It has to be said that India is better solved.

As long as they are willing to integrate into the caste system, then they can gain stable rule.

Zhu Di did not speak.

Expanding outward?

It is estimated that few vassal kings will choose, and the most likely is that they will all be elected to Beijing as the prince of Taiping, after all, most of the Sai kings can be said to hate their fiefs, that is, the king of Liao likes his fief.

It is difficult for King Zhou to say, he is ambitious, but the fief is indeed very poor, King Ning can't wait to leave Daning quickly, and King Su has no feelings for his fief, after all, he has arrived in Jiuquan. In short, the final result should be that the vast majority of vassal kings choose to enter Beijing, and a small number choose fiefdoms, and he is likely to be the only one to open up to the outside world, and at most it is possible to add the king of Zhou.

But after this time, Daming is probably Yang Feng's final say.

"Fourth brother!"

The little princess's shout rang out.

Yang Feng and Zhu Di turned their heads and looked at the little princess who was riding a horse.

The latter arrived quickly, rolled over and dismounted, and walked directly to them......

"The former Suzhou Wei Zhen Fu Han Sheng, led the Suzhou Wei Army to raise troops, together with the Shenji battalion and guards who stayed in Suzhou, and beheaded Wu Shou'an to Suzhou anyway."

She said.

"This old man is getting older."

Yang Feng said with some surprise.

His old friend is indeed getting older.

In fact, after Han Sheng's defeat in Suzhou, he ran directly to Jinshanwei, and Jinshanwei never obeyed King Wu's supervision, they have all seen Yang Feng's ability, since the princess chose to support the queen, then Yang Feng will definitely support the queen, everyone will not be wrong to follow Ambassador Yang, and as long as they don't take the initiative to attack Suzhou, Zhu Yunwen can't take care of them.

"Ambassador, Xiao Wang has a gift for the ambassador."

Zhu Di said.

Yang Feng and the little princess looked at him suspiciously.

Zhu Di pointed not far away, where a person was wearing shackles and was being escorted by Zhang Fu.

However, although he is shackled, he is obviously symbolic.

"This is the son of Liu Jiang, the guard of Yanshan Hundred Households, who lied to his father Liu Jiang, and went south to be an envoy to Daoyan on the order of the dog, but he didn't want him to be bribed by Qi Tai and follow him to make trouble. Now because he learned that Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru colluded to kill the king, he still has a little conscience, so he absconded back to Beiping to mutiny, this person knows all the inside information of the murder case, and is willing to confront Qi Tai and others face to face. ”

Zhu Di said.

At this time, Liu Rong was escorted over.

He simply knelt down......

"The little Liu Rong has seen Princess Hanshan, he has seen Ambassador Yang, and the little one knows very well about the murder of King Guangze, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru and others, and is willing to confront him face to face."

He said respectfully.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can King Guangze murder his own brother."

Yang Feng shouted.

"The ambassador is wise, in fact, it is the three of Qi Tai who hid it from King Guangze, and the little one is faint due to the heat, and he is talking nonsense for a while."

Liu Rong hurriedly said very sensibly.

Of course, he deliberately added Zhu Yunwen, if Yang Feng wanted to count it, then it would be good.

"Okay, you can risk death for thousands of miles, and you can still be considered a little loyal."

Yang Feng said.

Of course, he also understood that this was Zhu Di helping him end this war, Liu Rong was sent to follow Fang Xiaoru and others to do things, and he was ready to throw a fatal blow to Zhu Yunwen when needed. If Zhu Yunwen wins at this time and takes the capital, then it will be difficult for Zhu Di to go south to Jingnan, and there must be a basis for Jingnan to raise troops. First, Yao Guangxiao went north to report the mutiny, knowing that the emperor was murdered, and then Liu Rong went north to report the mutiny, knowing that the mastermind was the three most trusted ministers under Zhu Yunwen, then it was completely righteous in hand, and it was difficult for the Qing monarch to Yasukuni.

It's all a lot of calculations.

Everything is furnished.

It's just that Zhu Di doesn't need it now, so it's just right to give favors.

In the final analysis, Zhu Yunwen and his subordinates were really played by Zhu Di's level, and he didn't know that he was being manipulated by others the whole time.
