Chapter 2 Determining the State is Meeting

He Xi opposes the induction of heaven and man to the present. A rolling torrent has been formed.

After throwing the celestial sensor into the garbage heap completely, many things have to be changed.

Before that, the major events of the country were sacrificed in Rong. Sacrifice is the protection of heaven, that is, the legitimacy of the court, and the cohesion of people's hearts.

In Rong, it is naturally the combat effectiveness of the army. Maintain the power of domination.

That's why it's so important to worship the heavens. So in a lot of etiquette, there can't be a problem for a day. Once something goes wrong, it is not impossible to kill the head at every turn.

Now, after the non-existence of celestial and human induction, many people have to face a problem, then, how to show their legitimacy.

He Xi has an afterthought. That is to convene a convention.

What kind of conference is to determine the country is a meeting. Gather all the famous people in the world to the capital to discuss national affairs.

It is necessary to push the elders and important ministers in the local government, as well as a series of people such as the prince of the clan to the Beijing division to discuss.

In fact, He Xi didn't leave much room for them to discuss, after all, what should Daming do in the future. He Xi had already decided. It is impossible to be shaken by a few words from a few people.

But the gesture has to be made.

It's like a ceremony to worship the heavens, and many people actually know what is the use of worshipping the heavens? No one can say, what's the use? It is only a footnote to the legitimacy of the regime. Now this meeting is a meeting. It's essentially the same, but times have changed. It's just a ceremony to worship the heavens in the new era.

What He Xi needs is a harmonious conference, a victory conference, a smooth convening, and a smooth conclusion.

Of course, the appearance also has to be homely.

If there are some new ideas for something, things can be done. He Xi was not stingy to organize it as the result of the conference.

But if anyone really doesn't know what to do, kick their nose in the face. It's like losing the ceremony at the festival of worshipping the heavens. It is a political, principled mistake.

Whether the country will be determined or not, there are still some issues.

The first is to invite all the vassal kings to Beijing to renew their friendship. This is very important.

After all, the matter between the vassal kings of the Ming clan is no longer just a matter between the vassal kings of the clan. It is a matter between the Central Plains and the subject countries of the South Seas, the East Oceans, and the Western Regions.

Over the years, with the explosive growth of Daming industry, the relationship between Daming and overseas markets has become closer and closer.

And today, the next unification, the integration of the internal market of Daming began. He Xi can foresee that in the future, the industrial development of Daming will develop rapidly.

This rapid development will also affect foreign relations.

This has to be reorganized.

And He Xi also felt that the Ming Dynasty had to sort out the vassal kings to a certain extent. For example, King Yan. King Yan's territory is too big.

He Xi didn't want to turn his face with King Yan. But if you don't turn your face, it doesn't mean that there are no other means to restrict.

And these situations are not only here in Yanwang, but also in other aspects. In short, the previous war between the north and the south, whether it was Nanjing or Beijing, had greatly reduced its influence on the outside world. Now that the Ming Dynasty is unified, many things have to be rearranged.

Of course, He Xi didn't want to meet these feudal kings, how bad it was. So everybody needs to talk about it too.

These vassal kings needed the support of the imperial court, and the imperial court also needed these vassal kings to reduce the cost of the Ming Dynasty's exercise of power overseas.

In short, seek common ground while reserving differences.

In addition to this, there are other things.

The military issue has been said before.

The most important thing is the mess of financial problems.

Nanjing's new banknotes have disappeared. After He Xi entered Nanjing, it was officially determined that Nanjing's new banknotes would be abolished. And in Longwu for three years, it withdrew from circulation.

But in essence, it's a ransack.

Billions of new banknotes have become waste paper. A large number of industries became so-called reverse production, filling the finances of the imperial court in Beijing. But even then, the banknotes have to be sorted out.

There is too much money issued.

The most intuitive manifestation of this is that silver coins are basically no longer in circulation. Because everyone thinks that it is not cost-effective to exchange silver coins for 1,000 yuan.

I was thinking about the big war before, and I didn't start to rectify things in the financial field. Now it's time to deal with it.

Moreover, the matter of banknotes is not the final say in Beijing, and the impact is too extensive.

We need to invite all the forces here.

Of course, the most important thing is to invite everyone to come over and endorse the legitimacy of Emperor Longwu.

What I said before was all external, but the other thing He Xi did was internal.

That's the re-election.

In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang died. He Xi and Zhu Xiongying raised troops in Beijing, and the following year was the first year of Longwu, and until now, it is the fifth year.

According to He Xi's own words, it has reached his second term as the first assistant.

Of course, if He Xi doesn't talk about this matter himself, no one will remind He Xi.

After all, even Zhu Xiongying felt deep down in his heart that He Xi was probably just talking.

But He Xi was in his heart. But not that idea.

Taking advantage of this conference, He Xi also has to use a big knife in personnel. Of course, this kind of big knife is more below the cabinet, and it can't reach the cabinet.

After all, most of the personnel in He Xi's cabinet are very young and can be used for more than a few decades.

But the people below are different. When I was in Beijing, many of the following departments were still on the shelves, and some people adapted to it. But some people didn't adapt.

Now it should be disposed of.

He Xi also has to think carefully about many things.

He even wondered if it was necessary to set the National Assembly as once every five years to discuss the major issues of the moment and change the head and assistant.

Forming a convention. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will do this.

Thinking of this, He Xi had more and more headaches.

In his current position, a lot of experience in later generations is of little use to him.

He himself does not know what impact each of his choices will have on the future.

Therefore, behind the perfection is his dedication.

The national congress was set for the fourth year of Longwu, but the invitation to the conference had already been sent out in the third year of Longwu. Waiting for a response from all over the place.

-------

The three years of Longwu is the most critical year for Beijing.

In this year, Guanzhong was launched and the battle with Guangwu was launched. A series of battles laid the foundation for Beijing's victory. And it was also in this year that King Yan learned that Timur wanted to go east.

Decisive decision-making, preemptive strike. Attack, Chahatai Khanate.

And the foundation of the Chahatai Khanate is Shule. Of course, they don't call it anymore.

King Yan fought a battle with Timur that lasted several months at the Battle of Shule.

First of all, King Yan attacked first.

The Chahatai Khanate, which I didn't expect at all, was a crisp defeat at all. Qiu Fu, as the vanguard, hit the city of Shule. The Mongols call it Hashhar. At that time, here in Daming, there was only one name here that was Shule.

It's just that this Shule city is not a city in the Tang Dynasty. It's exotic. Arabic flavors, to be exact.

In fact, the city of Shule was not strong.

At least, it is not strong in the eyes of Yan Jun.

The level of firearms of the Yan army is not as good as the main force of any army in the north and south, and even worse than the second-line army of the northern army.

But there is no problem with destroying Shule City.

It's just that King Yan holds it down, and there is no need to break Shule.

The reason is very simple, the king of Yan wants to fight with Timur under the city of Shule.

Now the problem between King Yan and Timur is almost the same as the problem between the northern army and the southern army in the original battle between the rivers.

If you only talk about the elite combat power, the headquarters of King Yan plus the strength of the Northern Army to support the original regiment,

It is absolutely capable of crushing the Timurid army.

However, the Han soldiers of King Yan's headquarters are his roots, and the two sides add up to tens of thousands. Although there were many Mongolian conscripts, their combat effectiveness was not much different from that of Timur's own headquarters.

If the battlefield is scattered on the grassland, King Yan does not feel that he will lose, but it is not too convenient to win.

And if the war is gathered at one point, on the preset battlefield prepared by King Yan, King Yan has full confidence in Timur.

What King Yan is most afraid of is nothing else. But Timur did not come.

But Timur finally came.

It is inaccurate to say that he didn't know what King Yan thought and didn't guess what King Yan wanted to do.
