Just when Zheng He defeated He Di and ensured the safety of the coast for the imperial court, the influence of the Jianwen Dynasty's army surrounding the capital finally spread to the north.

Tie Xuan, the governor of Shandong, raised a righteous uprising in Jinan.

But......

It only lasted an hour.

"It's embarrassing."

Ambassador Yang, who had already arrived in Naturalization City, said with some embarrassment.

Tie Hyun's rise and defeat are dramatic.

As the governor of Shandong, he summoned the commanders of Shandong in Jinan, and then made a generous statement of righteousness, reasoning with these people, inducing them to benefit, telling them that the capital had been surrounded, Yang Feng had died in the Western Regions, and loyalty and righteousness had risen in various parts of the south, and most of the south had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.

Then the generals who attended the meeting supported one after another, patting their chests and saying that they had been waiting for this day for a long time.

The Iron Governor was overjoyed.

Immediately afterwards, he invited the envoy of the Jianwen Dynasty who had already arrived in Jinan, the imperial historian Zeng Fengshao.

However, the generals proposed to gather all the guards, the old and virtuous people of Jinan, to the school together, and then ask Zeng Angel to officially read out His Majesty's edict, Tie Xuan and Zeng Fengshao immediately agreed, which was obviously very reasonable.

So soon the guards and soldiers of Jinan, the old and virtuous people in the city, and even tens of thousands of idlers all came to the school, and in a jaw-dropping, the iron governor boarded the school review platform, officially announced the righteousness and invited Zeng Fengshao, and then Zeng Angel took out the holy decree given to him by Jianwen, and read out the holy decree of Jianwen to the officials and people of Shandong to raise righteousness in his official dialect. As soon as he finished reading the Shandong capital commander behind him, he kicked him off the stage, and then the generals raised their feet and kicked Tie Xuan and several supporting officials down. And there are a few old and virtuous people below, who are kneeling on the ground one by one with the joy of seeing the clouds, shouting long live to the Holy Decree Mountain, and then looking at the angels and governors who fell in front of them stupidly.

But by this time it was too late to get up again.

It happened to be pressed there by the soldiers behind him.

In this way, in Tie Xuan's grief and indignation roar, Shandong's uprising failed.

Not to mention the generals of the guard, even the gentry actually did not have much support.

Now Shandong's generals and gentry are all happy and rich, and the Yellow River diversion project is expected to allocate 10 million yuan this year......

Of course, it's not all about digging rivers.

Now digging the river is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to open cement factories and steel factories in various places, and at the same time build roads and bridges, Yang Feng did not expand the government-run factories at all, all of them were purchased from the private sector, and if there was no money to open a factory, he could get a loan from the bank, and he could provide guidance if he did not understand technology, and even asked for a master for them from the capital.

That's the kind of thing that matters most.

Who doesn't have any relatives and friends between the generals of the local health centers and the capital, especially the Beijing camp system?

They are necessarily the most advantageous.

In the same way, it is the gentry who have the greatest advantage in this kind of thing in the locality.

Therefore, the whole of Shandong, especially Jinan, Qingzhou and other prefectures close to the diversion project, are all opening mines and factories like a carnival, after all, what does it mean to sprinkle out 10 million a year, everyone knows very well, this is a carnival-like feast. In this case, except for a few old and immortal rotten Confucians, who will care about Jianwen, not to mention that Yang Feng doesn't know the real death and fake death, even if he is really dead, everyone has to support the princess, otherwise Jianwen will really sit in the world again, it can be said that it all depends on him in the south, especially the gentry in Jiangxi, and the first thing is to stop this brain-pumping Yellow River diversion project.

In good conscience, this project is indeed brain-pumping.

But this brain pumping is to stuff money into the hands of the northern gentry!

Money is the most important thing.

Yi?

How much is righteousness worth?

At present, Jian Wen is indeed more qualified to be the emperor than the little girl who just knew how to leave.

But what's the use of that.

He could not give the northern gentry 10 million a year.

Interests determine the ass.

So Tie Hyun's act was suicidal from the beginning.

"Not only Tie Xuan, but also a few civil officials in Beiping persuaded Governor Zhang Yu to kill Chang Sheng, and then went south with Beiping's uprising, Zhang Hao was still a little hesitant, but it happened that a group of elderly people from Henan went to Beiping and asked him, a Huaiqing person, to take more projects for Henan, and after the meeting, he went directly to Chang Sheng and sold those civil officials who persuaded him."

Zhang Ying said.

She is now in Beiping.

When Governor Hu's army went south, she was originally in Beiping to inspect the industry, and now she is mainly responsible for the construction of various industries in the north, especially in Shanxi and other tax-inclusive areas.

Her family is still in Beiping, her father Zhang Yu did not follow Zhu Di, her brother Zhang Fu followed Zhu Di, and her father was still the commander of the Yanshan Left Guard.

"At present, it seems that the north will not rebel, but the king of Qin will not go too fast in the south, after all, it is impossible to say that everyone likes your reform, and the rumor that you died in the Western Regions is also very fierce. It is said that several major commanders in the north know about your situation in the Western Regions, at least a few months ago, and they know that it is impossible for you to die in the Western Regions, but even so, rumors are still rampant. So it is likely that they deliberately let it go, including Chang Sheng, it is difficult to say anything, for them you are a Gao Huan after all, they are loyal to the Zhu family, of course they want to see the capital fall and your foundation will be hit hard. They are not loyal to the Zhu family, and those who hold military power as a place are of course happy to see the capital fallen, and then take advantage of this opportunity for them to play feudal towning.

Regardless of their position, the capture of the capital is not a bad thing.

After the capital was captured, they regained the king.

At that time, the power of the court will be weakened, your foundation will be destroyed, and the power of their local guards will inevitably increase, whether you can come back or not, they will all benefit, and they will be able to maintain the previous court situation in the end. ”

Zhang Ying said.

This is actually an inevitable result.

The northern provinces would not support Jianwen, he was originally supported by Confucian scholars and civil officials in the south, and the military system and the northern gentry certainly would not support him.

But......

It is good for them to weaken the imperial court!

Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was captured once, and the power of the envoys of various regions was strengthened once.

If the capital is captured at this time, then the general army in various places basically has the final say, and it is no different from the Tang Dynasty's festival envoys. After all, it is up to these towns to recapture the capital, and the capital has fallen, and the past command system and logistics system are all in chaos, and it is necessary to give more power to the local government to facilitate the war. And once the power is given, it will be difficult to take it back, since I gave the Han people the power to supervise and appover, in the end, I can only watch Li Erdevil and others become bigger. For those who are loyal to the Zhu family, the capital is already the foundation of Yang Feng, and without the capital, especially the education system, industrial system and the support of the people in the capital, he basically broke his arms.

And it's hard to build this set up again.

You know, it's been nearly a decade to build.

This limited Yang Feng's power and limited the possibility of him seeking to usurp the throne.

Those who are not loyal to the Zhu family must of course take advantage of this opportunity to gain more power.

They will continue to wait and see.

"Then let them be, and we'll talk about it in half a year."

Yang Feng said.

Even if he leaves for his return now, as long as he doesn't leave the army and run at full speed, it will take more than half a year to walk back to the capital at a normal speed, and the Beijing camp will have to rest for two or three months before he can officially return to the east. As for Xu Huizu and Song Sheng, the former is still breaking leaves, and the latter is heading south from Talas, preparing to temporarily sit in Naturalization City after Yang Fengdong returns, staring at the middle of the river here. After all, Yang Feng's road construction plan has caused chaos in all parts of the river, which was already calm, and the Gansu army he led is in charge to provide support to Shaharu and others when necessary. The turmoil caused by this road construction plan will not end in a short time, in fact, even if the construction officially begins, there will inevitably be resistance. Han Shantong and other river repairers can raise troops to resist, why can't those people in the Western Regions who were forcibly requisitioned to build roads? Could it be that Yang Feng is still ready to give them good food and drink, and work eight hours a day?

It was all called by the great animal.

When the time comes, starvation, thirst, and exhaustion are all essential.

If the mortality rate reaches a certain level, revolt is inevitable.

Song Sheng must be suppressed with heavy troops.

The Western Regions will not be stable in the future.

Yang Feng's road repair plan affected not only the three towns in Hezhong, but also the four towns of Anxi, and King Yan had already issued the same order after he returned.

The upper echelons of the four towns of Anxi don't have to worry, they are loyal to Daming now, and Yang Feng has already awakened them in Shule, but don't forget that Shule is because there are already people in the local area who have resisted. They can't stand it without building roads, and now road construction is an intensified oppression, and it's no wonder they can stand it, especially those elders, who are already dissatisfied with the status quo......

Actually, it's just them.

The real bottom does not have the ability to mobilize to resist.

Only these elders can do it.

The system of the Ming Dynasty was to ensure the interests of the lords of each city.

It is basically equivalent to the sub-envelope system.

The power of each city belongs to the city lord, and he has absolute power over the place, whether it is the original tribal elder or any other big family leader, in the definition of the Ming Dynasty, he is his subject, there is no difference. He distributes the internal benefits by himself, and he is willing to share part of it with the clan elders, which is his own business, and he is unwilling, that is, he monopolizes all the benefits, so as long as he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he will do whatever he wants. In this case, of course, it is impossible for these city lords to give too much to these clan elders, after all, he can't resist even if he doesn't distinguish the latter, and to resist him is to rebel against the Ming Emperor.

This is the source of the contradiction.

If this contradiction is not resolved, it will be impossible for the seven towns in the Western Regions to be stable.

But......

This was originally intentional by Yang Feng!

That's what he wants!

So Song Sheng has to continue the bad government that he has been giving him for at least many years.

This kind of turmoil will not be stable in ten or eight years, and a third of the population will die, but once it finally stabilizes, it will be truly stable.

As if he didn't know that war had broken out in China, Ambassador Yang continued to guard his concubine in Guihua City, and the accompanying soldiers of the Beijing camp also hugged the beauties of the Western Regions they were assigned to merry. After all, the scenery of this place is still very good, galloping in the steppes of the Fergana Basin, climbing to the nearby snow-capped mountains and singing, which can be regarded as allowing these soldiers from the capital to truly feel the joy of expansion. And those city lords, with their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, began to forcibly recruit young people, tied them with ropes in groups to Samarkand, the assembly place, and then led away by the city lords along the road with their soldiers.

As for how to fix this, don't worry.

Tell them the standard, they just need to complete it according to the standard, and after the repair, Ambassador Yang will personally come to check and accept, and if the repair is not good, he will be punished.

There is no need for high-end road construction technology here.

And there are no conditions for using it if you want to.

The road that is really used for four-wheeled trucks to travel is to pave the roadbed with stones, and such roads in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, especially in the south, are paved with stones and then paved with gravel, but there can not be so many stones on the grassland in the Western Regions.

Only rammed earth can be used.

The dry climate is also enough to solve other problems.

At most, it will be dusty later, but this can be spread with sand on the rammed earth roadbed, and there is no shortage of sand here anyway.

In addition, in order to ensure that there would be no escape, in addition to the supervisors under these city lords, Yang Feng also ordered to give Ugqi Hashha, and he sent 5,000 cavalry to patrol along the line, and those who escaped were directly arrested, and then disposed of by them.

This is Warat.

They don't care if they live or die.

As for the route, there is no need to choose, just follow the trade route of the camel caravan, including the route designed by Yang Feng, which was also the trade route of the camel cara.

In this way, the forcible conscriptions of the three places of the river, the green mountains, and the Persian tribe arrived one after another, and began their suffering.

Samarkand.

"These, where are these people?"

Ambassador Yang, who personally inspected the inspection, looked at the three people in front of him with some surprise.

The latter was tied up in a string and walked as if they were dying under the escort of soldiers, like black American slaves who had just disembarked from a slave ship waiting to be auctioned.

"Sent by Khalil."

Shaharu said with a smile.

"Isn't he in Kandahar?"

Yang Feng said suspiciously.

"He can't force the people from those tribal elders, if the latter resists, he can't suppress it at all, but there are people next to him who are easy to bully, so he led his troops directly to India and captured more than 30,000 slaves to count. If it's not enough, he can catch it again, and as for their food, he also went to grab it, and I bought it for him directly with the money. ”

Shaharu said with a smile.

"He's very cunning, so let him do whatever he wants, and if he really doesn't have enough manpower in the future, he really has to be arrested.

Tell him that his father's affairs have passed, as long as he does things for Daming, I will still ensure his glory and wealth in the future. ”

Yang Feng said.

Indeed, the tribal elders of Kandahar were very difficult to handle.

But Khalil can't afford to mess with them, and he can't afford to mess with the Indians?

It is true that he can't forcibly recruit people from the tribal elders in Kandahar and Kabul, but he can catch as many people as he wants to go to India, and he can only sweep through the Khyber Pass with cavalry, and Khalil, who guards this huge treasure, has no need to provoke those tribal elders in Afghanistan.
