Chapter 403: God's Whip
Her Royal Highness the ruling princess who returned to the capital, immediately began a nationwide adjustment of administrative districts.
To put it simply, it is to add a political envoy department.
Huguang was divided into two, Hunan, Hubei, Shaanxi was divided into two, Shaanxi and Gansu, and then Guizhou became the political envoy department, Liaodong became Liaoning, and all the guards in the political envoy department were abolished and the public land law was implemented.
Including Annan.
In its place, of course, was the system of militia reserves.
To be precise, the entire population of all the political envoys is militarized, not just military households.
All adult males are in reserve.
All counties have reserve militias.
There are also arsenals.
Civilian weapons are also no longer restricted......
Of course, it still doesn't work with artillery, at least not on land.
Merchant ships can still install cannons, but the villages on land are still a bit exaggerated, muskets can be had, cannons can't, but grenades can, the main thing is that this can't be banned, after all, various civil construction needs a lot of gunpowder, and it's okay to ban grenades, but the power of that small grenade seems to be inferior to the gunpowder bag for blasting.
Unless gunpowder is banned.
However, gunpowder is an indispensable thing for civil construction at present.
The blasting of industrial mining, roads, and water conservancy facilities in various places all rely on this, and even Ambassador Yang's digging of the Yellow River is inseparable from this, and with the management ability at this time, in fact, it is impossible to prohibit it at all, manufacturing technology has long been overflowing, and gunpowder does not need any real industrialization.
Later, I didn't even dispense gunpowder for the Eight Banners athletes, but gave them money to make it themselves.
So just don't ban it.
Similarly, muskets are forbidden, and there is no need for armor to be banned.
At this point, the last seal in Zhu Yuanzhang's armor weapon restriction was also torn.
The civilian population is fully armed.
And then it's just pushing them outward.
The government envoys made the public land, and the command made the department private, the restrictions on civil migration were lifted, the road introduction system was abolished but changed to the ID card system, and the production of the ID card was the responsibility of the local banks, and all adult households must obtain their own ID cards. Of course, in fact, this project is too large and basically unlikely, but you must have an ID card to go out, so those who need to go out must still have to get it, and it won't cost a lot of money anyway. And these ID cards can be made by local banks, they give depositors all kinds of vouchers are special paper and ink, are made in the factory of the capital, and there is no ability to counterfeit outside, so you need to pay for the ID card, the bank is responsible for the production, and then take the ID card to move freely in Daming.
It is equivalent to the national general road guide.
But......
It's citizenship.
Because only the members of the political envoy department, all the guards and military households of the command envoy department have this.
Others don't.
Without this, there is no right of free movement, and simply put, those Tusi and the people to whom the guards belong leave their place of residence, and if there are no other legal documents approved by the imperial court, then they are not protected by the law.
Killed, sold, and robbed, all of them admit their own bad luck.
If you have the right of citizenship, you can move freely, and you are so free that you can command the envoys to open up the wasteland and become landlords, and you can freely go to various places to do business and open mines, and those who do not have the right of citizenship can only be regarded as subjects in their own places of residence.
Reasonable.
Even this was at the request of those toasts and commanders.
Because they found that after returning to the Ming Dynasty, the flight of their subjects became more and more serious, after all, there was no strict identity management, and it was easy for the merchants who went to them to quietly take a few people. This is also inevitable, at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing Dynasty in Sichuan was too serious, resulting in the capital quickly becoming a no-man's land, so that later migrated from Huguang people lacked labor, and once the population trade between Sichuan and Guizhou was prosperous. To put it simply, the profiteers colluded with the people under the Tusi rule, and the latter was responsible for plundering slaves and hoarding, wearing shackles and finding a cave to stuff in, and waiting for the profiteers to take away and traffic to Sichuan when the time came. And now the profiteers who go to those Tusi and the Guardian are not good birds, the people of the Tusi are unbearable, and the profiteers like to sell to make money, which eventually leads to the loss of these subjects, and for the Tusi and those Bondage Commanders, of course, they don't want their subjects to be lost.
That's the biggest resource they have.
They themselves will sell it.
They have all been abducted and sold by profiteers, what are they selling?
Therefore, Her Royal Highness the ruling princess fulfilled their wish and established this ID card system.
This system really distinguishes between citizenship and subjectivity, the former can go freely anywhere, even as far away as the Ottomans, and then do business, open farms, mines, and factories, but the latter are still restricted. And the ID card gives them the maximum protection, any citizen who is harmed in these places is okay without being discovered, once discovered, even the local lord will be punished, and the minimum must be to pay a huge amount of compensation.
On the contrary, they break the law in the local area, and these toasters or prison commanders have no law enforcement power.
They only have the right to enforce the law against their own subjects.
And these citizens with ID cards only have the right to punish the political envoys, even if the Anxi Metropolitan Command Envoy is actually a civil official sent by the imperial court to have the right to enforce the law against them, and the Metropolitan Command Envoy also has no law enforcement power over them.
In the end, Yang Feng unlocked all restrictions for the people of the Ming Dynasty to open up outward.
There is militarization.
There is a legal guarantee.
Extraterritoriality is there.
There are even various subsidies from the imperial court.
The rest has nothing to do with him, those who are bold and want to get rich go out, those who are timid and want to live honestly, those who are satisfied with food and clothing stay in their hometowns in the fields allocated to them, those who want to live an urban life go to the factory, and those who want to live a pastoral life are in the countryside.
At the same time, there was also the reform of the army, and after the abolition of the guard post, 500,000 active soldiers were retained.
This number is sufficient.
In fact, 500,000 is completely redundant, and Yang Feng originally wanted 300,000.
The 300,000 troops lined up to shoot are crushing everything in this world.
But it won't happen anytime soon.
The first step is still 500,000.
However, the military households that command the envoys are not among them, although they also belong to the regular army, but they are another system, the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court is equivalent to the forbidden army, and the command of the envoys is equivalent to the Jiedu envoys, and it is also a recruitment of military salaries, but not all command the envoys but the imperial court. And then these guards also have their own land, their own industry and commerce, in fact, they are more like armed reclamation regiments, and the guards of the Ming Dynasty were originally armed reclamation regiments.
And just when Yang Feng and the little princess launched the long-brewing reform in the capital, Zhu Di finally started his third expedition to the west after a year of rest, in the burning of his emperor's soul.
It was the first time with Yang Feng.
The sweep of the Golden Horde was the second.
Now it's the third time.
And this time, of course, the target is Constantinople.
Peking Binh Prefecture.
Zhu Di looked at the huge army assembled in front of him with satisfaction.
10,000 Yan King guards.
10,000 Anxi Army.
10,000 Beiting troops.
These are all camel-city cavalry.
So on average, a soldier has a war horse, two camels, and an army of 30,000 is nearly 100,000 war horses and camels, not counting the cattle and sheep that serve as food, although the camel city has a strong supply capacity, but at least if possible, it is still necessary to carry a large number of cattle and sheep, after all, the Western Regions are still vast and sparsely populated.
Cattle and sheep are not slow.
If the cavalry did not march in a hurry, and traveled forty or fifty miles a day in a nomadic manner, the cattle and sheep could have kept up.
Of course, this was only a small part of his army to the west.
He controlled the Western Regions with the king of Yan, and had the right to requisition all the commanders and vassals in the Western Regions, so those county kings, commanders, and vassal kings from the Eastern European steppes to the Lianghe Plain, from the Ural Mountains to the Pamirs, all had to obey his military orders. And now that military orders have been sent to major cities in the Western Regions, so from Siberia to the banks of the Euphrates River, those Ming vassals must obey his military orders and send their own troops to make peace with them.
This of course also includes the Ottomans.
Final Strength ......
"Half a million should have."
Zhu Neng next to him said.
"An army of 500,000 attacked a city, and the king looked up to them too much."
Qiu Fu said with a smile.
"That's not a city."
Zhu Di said slowly.
Indeed, it is not as simple as a city.
Because according to his intelligence, the Roman emperor had made an alliance with the Ottomans in the Balkans, and not only them, but also the Serbs who had fled back, and even the Bulgarians. In addition, because of the losses of Venice and Genoa in the Black Sea, they also lobbied the Holy See to launch a new crusade, only this time not to attack Jerusalem, but to defend Constantinople. Unlike the original Ottoman attack on Constantinople in history, one year was enough time for European monarchs to learn what was happening in the East, and they knew that a powerful monarch in the East had completed the conquest of the entire East like the Mongols back then, and even the Golden Horde had submitted to it.
And his next target is Constantinople.
Once Constantinople was captured, the doors of Europe were open to him.
So......
So there is a high probability that it will succeed.
The point is that both Venice and Genoa suffered heavy losses because of the existence of the state, as well as the batteries on the other side of the Bosphorus.
Moreover, Tokhtamysh has also won successive victories in Eastern Europe, the Lithuanians have also been defeated, and have even asked Poland for help, and Poland already belongs to the Catholic world, and the expansion of Tokhtamysh has also approached the Hungarian sphere of influence, so it can be said that the Catholic world has truly felt the pressure of the Ming Dynasty.
"King, Zheng He sent an expedited."
Zhang Fu walked to Zhu Di's side and gave him an urgent report.
Zhu Di took it and opened it.
"Zheng He's fleet has set sail, and he expects to arrive at the Ottomans within a year."
He said.
"How did he get there, but there was land in between."
Qiu Fu said in amazement.
"He is ready to bypass from the west, and if he succeeds, he will join us, and if he doesn't succeed, even if he is loyal, since he is so loyal, I can't fail him, and order all the armies to set off, let's wait for him in Ottoman."
Zhu Di said.
Then he urged the horses.
