Chapter 335: His Highness Shengming
Yang Feng's move confused everyone.
It's completely inexplicable!
People are rebels, you don't care about this? And sent a messenger to tell you, are you a tease? Send a local to tell you, you must be a tease, right? Xie Jin, a local, is also a great Confucian, or the new banner of Confucianism among the Wenchen, so what else can he do except strengthen the determination of the Southern Jiangxi gentry to rebel to the end? Maybe even he will never return.
In this way, you will make all the provinces on the border follow suit.
Even if you are trying to lure the snake out of the hole, that's not how to play, you must know that the poor strategic position of Nanjiang is only relative to Huguang and Henan, in fact, anyone who wants to march to Guangdong, must control Nanjiang, Nanjiang in hand is to maintain a strategic offensive against Guangdong, Nangan loses it will be Guangdong's turn to form a strategic offensive advantage over Jiangxi, once the war is carried down the river Nanchang is not guaranteed, and then even can go straight down to the capital.
Give such an important place to others, and you are not afraid that one day Jianwen's army will go straight down the Gan River, and then the gentry of Jiangxi will flock to welcome Wang Shi?
Then the Huguang gentry swarmed from the dragon and went straight to the south of the Yangtze River with millions of dollars?
Are you ready to win again?
Even if you lure the snake out of the hole, you won't see anyone sticking their head out of the hole!
Of course, the stunned is confused, since he is playing like this, then everyone is relieved, originally worried that the loyal people of Nanjiang will rush to raise righteousness, once Yang Feng's thunder attack, they will not be able to support Jianwen's reinforcements, but now there is no need to worry, Xie Jin went to tell for a few months, Jianwen's side had already completed all the preparations, and then went straight to Ji'an.
Then the civil officials in the capital sang praises to the ruling move as if they had taken the wrong script.
Benevolence!
Absolute benevolence.
He didn't even ask for rebellion, but sent someone to tell him, isn't this benevolence?
How can there be such a benevolent monarch since ancient times?
There are also proposals to give the ruling lord the honorific title......
Princesses can also have honorific titles!
She is the eldest princess, what is it to have an honorific title, the empress is her grandchild, isn't it very reasonable to give her aunt and grandmother an honorific title.
Of course, the ruling party still pushed away their good intentions.
And the consequences of this news are also obvious, Chenzhou, Yongzhou, Baoqing, Guiyang Prefecture, to which Hengzhou Prefecture belongs, and Tingzhou Prefecture in Fujian, can almost be said to have defected at the speed of light, plus Nan'an Mansion, which was previously occupied by the Jianwen Dynasty, most of the state capitals on the border line have defected to the Jianwen Dynasty. Their purpose is the same as that of Nanjiang, not to take refuge in the Jianwen Dynasty, then when Yang Feng implements the Gongtian Law, he can only resist, otherwise he can't wait for death after all, and now he takes refuge in the Jianwen Dynasty, which is to let the Jianwen Dynasty send troops to protect them.
The latter must share the cost of defense with them, after all, as long as they can hold it, Jianwen is safe in the back.
If Yang Feng immediately sent troops to attack Nangan, they would have to think about it, after all, time was in a hurry, and they didn't have much time to prepare, so they might not be able to wait for Jianwen's reinforcements to fight.
Yang Feng's prestige is still very worrying.
But what are you afraid of?
He didn't care.
Then don't hurry up and turn around, and then let the Jianwen Dynasty quickly send troops over, improve their defenses, and provide them with arms, money, and food for them to recruit troops and horses to build fortresses.
Especially the new-style fortresses.
The kind that King Yan cultivated when he held on to Kaifeng.
The gentry had long had their eyes on this new type of fortress that would obviously bring down the attackers.
Then after Xie Jin told him for two whole months, he failed until the end of the year, and then returned to the capital with infinite melancholy, the ruling still refused to levy, but sent a big eunuch in the name of the queen mother, and went to Nanjiang and other places again to give advice, and ordered the king of Chu who stayed in Wuchang to go to Hengyang in person, but after the news spread, even Hengyang also voted for Jianwen.
When the king of Chu arrives in Hengyang, it is not easy for everyone to vote.
It's mainly the army of his father-in-law opposite, but his father-in-law obviously doesn't want him to go back, Wang Bi is very good to be the king of Annan himself, and there is no need to let his son-in-law go back, so if the king of Chu goes to Hengyang, it is obviously not good for the gentry of Hengyang to kill him to face his father-in-law, and it will also embarrass his father-in-law by coercing him together, so just rush ahead of him and join the Jianwen Dynasty!
In this way, Huguang is another important town.
Moreover, Jianwen Dynasty Rite Department Shangshu, Jiangxi people Ji'an Huang Kui, military department squire is also Fang Xiaoru student Hu Zizhao led 10,000 imperial battalions to Ji'an, it is said that the army is majestic, iron armor Yao Ri, but also for Ji'an loyalists to bring 20 cannons, 5,000 magic guns, all made in Foshan. Now Foshan's iron and steel industry has entered a soaring development, in the mountainous areas of western Guangdong and northern Guangdong, the gentry develop small iron mines, smelt pig iron with high-quality high-grade ore and charcoal, and then load the iron ingots to be transported to Foshan by water, and those people in Foshan smelt these high-quality pig iron into high-quality wrought iron and even low-carbon steel.
Reprocessed into various weapons.
Similarly, the control of overseas trade also gives them enough money......
In fact, Jianwen is also a treasure banknote, but he is not a gold and silver standard, so the Guangdong gentry are reluctant to take it out.
They are the pepper standard.
The Cantonese gentry copied Zhu Di's gameplay, using pepper to support the currency, how much did this thing go to the South Seas, they controlled the source, and the Fanbang merchants who went north to the South Sea were also blocked by them in the south, so the pepper could only enter in the ports controlled by the Jianwen Dynasty. In this way, they could use pepper to support the treasure banknotes, and the northern merchants wanted to buy pepper, unless they exchanged the same materials needed by the two Guangnan in exchange for the Canton banknotes, otherwise they could only exchange the precious metals such as gold, silver and copper for the Canton banknotes.
So the value of the currency stabilized.
However, Liangguang itself has abundant grain, and there is no sharp depreciation of the currency caused by food shortage.
These gentry are very shrewd, and many things are self-taught.
Liberal capitalism!
In fact, Jianwen Dynasty played comparable to Yang Fenghua.
The main thing is that he can't control it, he can't do it, those ministers from the dragon, in the final analysis, they are a refugee, how to formulate court etiquette, take the imperial examination, and run a school, these can be said, but how to develop the economy, this must be listened to by the Guangdong gentry.
And it goes without saying what the result will be when the latter has the final say.
They ran into capitalism much faster than Yang Feng, and even they had discovered that Yang Feng's system had hidden dangers, and that they seemed friendly to the industrial and commercial gentry, but in fact harbored evil intentions, in fact, a large part of the reason why the Guangdong gentry now supported Jianwen had become this.
They found that Yang Feng's encouragement of industry and commerce was true, but this bastard seemed to be uneasy and kind, while he encouraged industry and commerce, he was also putting shackles on industry and commerce, especially for land, minerals, and the monopoly of some industries, which was obviously not right. If he really encourages industry and commerce, he should not continue to restrict like this, especially the control of land and minerals, not to mention the financial monopoly of the banking industry.
The encouragement of industry and commerce must be accompanied by the encouragement of land annexation, because only in this way can the peasants be forced to go to the cities and become the ashes of the development of industry and commerce.
However, the Junda system clearly contradicts this.
Under the equalization system, the peasants had land and could rely on farming to eat, so why did they go to the cities to work as ashes for industry and commerce?
Since Yang Feng claimed to be from the next generation, he should be familiar with everything, but while encouraging industry and commerce, he put shackles on industry and commerce, which was obviously deliberate, although the current minds of the Cantonese gentry had not yet developed to understand the true meaning of these.
But......
But they knew very well that Yang Feng definitely had a problem.
Compared with Jianwen, who can only indulge them to do whatever they want because they have no power, Yang Feng is not a good choice for them.
Jianwen is.
Of course, these are not important at the moment, anyway, the Guangdong gentry are currently happy, and their military industry is supporting the great cause of Emperor Jianwen.
The latter, headed by the He family, plus the military households of the Guangdong Guard, especially the military households of the color eyes in Guangzhou, have established 30,000 imperial battalions, which are similar to the Shenji battalion, although they are only formed, and they cannot really be used in field battles, but it is still okay to bluff people. As for its real pillar of force, it was Wang Bi's Annam Army, which had been promoted to the rank of county king, the governor of the capital and the governor of Guilin, while the capital of Guangzhou was run by He Rong as the governor of the capital.
The latter was also promoted to the Duke of State.
Yue Guogong.
In addition, there is a separate water division, and the commander of the water division is He Di, and the strength of this water division is still very strong.
In short, Emperor Jianwen lived up to the expectations of the loyalists, and he really sent troops to protect those subjects who defected to the light.
Of course, the most important thing is that the latter has a population.
Jiangxi is the third most populous in the Ming Dynasty, second only to Zhili and Zhejiang, even if it is only the three provinces of Southern Jiangxi, it brings him more than the population of Guangxi Province.
In fact, after this round of defections, the population under his control immediately doubled.
This is the source of soldiers.
And what he lacked most in the past was soldiers.
As for the capital, it continues to ignore this, and the ruling government openly sneers at these Diao people......
"This generation has lived in a land of poor mountains and bad waters for a long time, does not know kindness and righteousness, does not know obedience, like a moth throwing itself into the fire, and will be to blame for the broken bones in the future, it is difficult to persuade the damned ghosts, let them go! If the imperial court loses the land of these two provinces, it will not lose thousands of miles of territory, why care, now that it is the birthday of the queen mother, the whole country should be happy, no matter what these things do! ”
Her Royal Highness the ruling princess said as if she had been possessed by Mutiva.
"Your Royal Highness Shengming, at this time, it is true that the birthday of the Queen Mother is important, this generation is just a disease of scabies, and in the future, the army will come to it with the power of heaven, and it will naturally collapse."
Xie Jin hurriedly touted.
"Your Highness Shengming!"
……
Then a bunch of ministers touted Her Royal Highness the princess.
At this time, in the far Western Regions, Zhu Di was riding his horse in the snow of the Ili River Valley, and the Tianshan Mountains were white in winter.
Behind him were columns of escort cavalry.
The cavalry of the three guards is divided into three formations, each formation is mounted in front of the armor, the men and horses are equipped, the large polished steel plates of the new armor reflect the light in the sun, and the war horses with the armor are like monsters, these armored horses are armed with Zhangba spears, the spears are hunting with banners, and a dense forest is formed overhead, but unlike the traditional armored cavalry, these armored cavalry are hung with flintlock short spears next to the saddle in addition to the whipping of melee combat.
And behind the armored cavalry, there are flying horses on both wings, which are actually light cavalry.
They didn't even want armor, they all wore leather robes, not even spears, except bows and arrows, knives and short spears, but one man carried many short spears.
In the middle of the flying horse, behind the first horse, is the hussar.
In fact, it is the main formation composed of the city of packs, all the cavalry are mounted cavalry and dismounted infantry, the city is equipped with rapid-fire guns, and the soldiers carry magic guns.
There were even special artillery battalions with light field guns and mortars on camels.
The three guards formed three separate cavalry clusters, forming huge frets on the white snowfield.
In front of Zhu Di, groups of nomadic cavalry arrived, and in front of these nomadic cavalry were their chiefs.
King Yan stopped and looked at them majestically on his horse.
The chiefs hurriedly dismounted, and one by one, as if worshipping the gods and Buddhas, hurried to his horse, and then knelt down one by one in fear and bowed to him.
"King Khan, you have finally returned to your land!"
The leader of the ghost Li Chi said excitedly.
King Khan is the honorific title they gave to Zhu Di.
After all, Zhu Di is not the emperor, calling him Tian Khan is a bit like framing him, but calling him the king is obviously not weighty, after all, the level of the king is still low, there were a bunch of kings in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Khan is in line with their habits, but this is obviously not appropriate, after all, he is not the Great Khan of Mongolia, so he simply combines the Khan and the king, so the King of Khan has become his exclusive use, and these tribes respect him as Khan, but his identity is the king.
"Get up!"
Zhu Di looked at these chiefs.
Ghost Chi, Mahamu, Taiping, and several other tribes, basically all the tribal chiefs of the Northern Warat system came.
At present, the Warat system is divided into two parts, one is Ugqi Hashha, he led several tribes to command the embassy in Dawandu, and the northern ones in Kunling and Hanhai both command the envoys, but it is said that it is Warat, in fact, they are all mixed with Warat and Mongolia, and Hanhai is the commander of the embassy and even some Siberian tribes.
They are now nomadic in the Ili River Valley and in the Land of the Seven Rivers.
It's winter.
Zhu Di allowed the nomadic herders under the command of the Hanhai Capital to spend the winter in the relatively warm area, and there was still enough food here, which was undoubtedly a gift for the herdsmen who could only struggle in the severe cold of the Mongolian Plateau in winter. Mongolian herdsmen crave food the most, livestock is the least insured food, can be lost at any time due to various disasters, but the food will not get sick, the food can allow them to survive the winter safely, and Zhu Di, who brought them food, is their god.
"In the future, this Western Regions is the king who has the final say, the last time you followed this king, you got a lot, and this king will take you to continue in the future, is there any Xiban family?"
Zhu Di asked.
Ghost Lichi hurriedly shouted.
One of the chiefs hurried forward.
"King Khan, he belongs to the former Ban family, but now he follows me."
Ghost Lichi said.
Zhu Di looked at this guy.
"Who are you from Yuejie Behan?"
He asked.
"King Khan, he is the great-grandson of Yueji Behan."
Ghost Lichi hurriedly said.
It is clear that this Xiban family does not know Chinese.
"So, do you want to be the Golden Horde like your great-grandfather?"
Zhu Di asked with a smile.
