Chapter 330: Cutting the Road to the Industrial Revolution with a Knife, Opening the Sea Strongly, and Never Stopping the Sea (Merry Christmas!) )

Outside the Forbidden City, many people are holding treasures, waiting to enter the palace to offer treasures.

But when they heard that the emperor would not see the edict today, they all went back in a daze.

These were all outstanding, and the treasures offered were all of the emperor's interest, such as chemistry, physics, mathematics, and mechanics.

The emperor in literature also liked it, but it was only a commendation, but not an edict.

The emperor was in Nanjing, and there was nothing important about it, so he sent an edict to these Jiangnan people every day to see the new gadgets they invented.

In order not to emigrate, the people of Jiangnan tried their best to curry favor with the emperor.

It is said that the Zhuo tube well used to dig oil was used in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was still used in the Northern Song Dynasty when it was transmitted to the Ming Dynasty, and the technology was not innovated.

Bao Zhijian, a native of Jiangnan, renovated Zhuo Tube Well, changed from wooden to iron, increased power, and improved oil production efficiency.

After being ordered by the emperor, he innovated again and developed the percussion drilling technology.

Not only does his family not have to be removed, but he also has to join the Ministry of Industry as an official and lead the R&D team to continue to innovate this technology.

Xue Shu, a native of Jiangnan, innovated the hand-pressed well in the Song Dynasty, innovated the piston technology, and made suggestions, hoping that the hand-pressed well would be promoted throughout the country.

Jiangnan people are lucky to make the first pair of glasses of the Ming Dynasty, tortoiseshell reading glasses.

Qu Yunsong, a native of Jiangnan, compiled a craftsman's book and compiled all the ancient techniques into a book.

Jiangnan Wentong, discovered Jiangning iron ore (Ma'anshan).

Shi Ruzhong, a native of Jiangnan, discovered the Dingyuan stone salt mine in Anhui.

Zheng Yuanzhen, a native of Jiangnan, presented medical books and presided over the compilation of Indian medical books, Cambodian medical books, Annam medical books, and Siamese medical books.

Lu Li, a native of Jiangnan, compiled the original geometry according to the Xiyi mathematics book.

Jiangnan Yuan Gao put forward the theory of firearms innovation.

More than 10 million learned people, in order to stay in their hometowns, burst out with terrifying creative abilities, and invented too many things.

To reward meritorious people, the emperor gave a total of 5.1 million bronze talismans and 1.2 million silver talismans, making the copper talismans and silver talismans worthless.

It is precisely because of these life charms that they will not be removed.

There are many people who have even entered the public service because of this.

All walks of life are innovating at a rapid pace.

When Zhu Qiyu has nothing to do, he will call a few people to inquire one by one.

If the emperor is interested, people all over the world will naturally follow suit, and the people who offer treasures will run from the place to Nanjing, and it will be endless.

It also caused dissatisfaction in the center, worried about the loss of folk playthings.

Zhu Qiyu made a holy decree, all walks of life to specialize in one thing is the ability, to achieve the ultimate, in order to come to Beijing to offer treasures.

Obviously, there is no longer only one way to go straight to the court, but craftsmen can also rely on their skills to reach the heavens.

The emperor used a knife to carve out a road to the industrial revolution.

The first bell tower of the Ming Dynasty was built in April of the twelfth year of Jingtai, and the bell rang once an hour, and the people heard the bell when they knew it, and the husband was unemployed.

In May, a total of six bell towers were built, covering the entire city of Nanjing.

The Ming Dynasty entered the age of clocks.

Bell towers are being built in various places, and bell towers are becoming popular among the people.

The Jingtai calendar of Qin Tianjian has also been officially compiled, and the Jingtai calendar will be implemented starting next year.

The theory of chemistry, the theory of matter, the theory of the calendar, the theory of medicine, the theory of surgery, and so on emerged in the newspapers, and the doctrines of various schools of thought sprouted in the south of the Yangtze River, competing with each other, and the era of a hundred schools of thought contending is coming again.

Folk ideas are constantly colliding, newspapers are full of fierce quarrels every day, and the words of various countries, such as Annam, Chenla, Siam, Ava, Bengal, India, Dashi, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Italy, New Rome, Ancient Egypt and other countries, books are flooded in the Ming Dynasty.

New ideas sprouted, and the emperor wantonly added fuel to the fire, encouraged civil quarrels, and personally went out to explain that the truth came from practice.

All thanks to the emperor's knife.

With a knife in one hand and immigration in the other, the Jiangnan scholars have been driven crazy, no matter what benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, as long as they are not removed, let them study anything.

All kinds of new industrial products, all kinds of new ideas, all kinds of new words, collided fiercely in Jiangnan.

Fortunately, the immigration tide completely ended in April of the twelfth year of Jingtai, and the Jiangnan immigration came to an end.

But the war has already been provoked, and the civil debate has intensified.

Some things are put into practice and have practical effects, while others are not.

For example, this year, Qin Tianjian predicted a drought, and the central government ordered the whole country to drill wells to prepare for the drought.

Anshan Iron Works rushed to make hand-pressed wells and sold them to the people.

Normal wells have low efficiency and high requirements, and they can't pump water with little strength, but women can easily press water out of the wells by pressing the wells by hand.

The hand-pressed well was liked by the powerful, and the Anshan Iron Works was half sold and half sent, and it was rapidly popularized among the people.

The Ming Dynasty is changing.

All sorts of things, dizzying.

It didn't end with the wave of immigration.

The emperor encouraged them to develop and let them continue to fight.

The first fight is the struggle for separation.

Let them fight internally, fight themselves.

Zhu Qiyu did not directly issue an order to forcibly divide the family, but in the name of redistributing the land, the land under the name of each family will not be recovered by the center, and the big family will be allowed to divide the houses and property equally.

Only magic is defeated by magic.

If the emperor reclaimed the land, the remaining Jiangnan people rebelled; If the emperor comes to preside over the division of land, the center will not get anything, and he will complain.

Simply, it was decreed that each family should divide it by itself, and the property within the clan should be reasonably distributed.

After dividing the property, can we still live together?

It's all broken dog's brain, and it's a fart.

The peaceful big family fell apart in an instant, and the government didn't care, as long as the families discussed it, the land, shops, Zhuangzi and other things were directly registered and deeds issued.

Don't look at the emperor's cruel punishment, the Jiangnan gentry have hundreds of years of family assets, the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and the family wealth is terrifying, and they still live a good life.

And Baiyue's slaves were transported into the Ming Dynasty, and the people who bought the most were Jiangnan people.

The tenants were divided, could it be that the landlord himself went to farm the land?

Although they lost their property, they got the emperor's edict, and the invention and creation were registered with a patent.

The second fight is to fight in the newspaper.

Doctrine fighting, mechanical fighting, faction fighting.

The Ming Dynasty entered the stage of extreme freedom of speech, and any speech could be published, and even the heresy of overthrowing Confucian thought had already germinated.

The new ideas triggered by the New Deal are fighting with the old ideas.

The economic faction and the conservative faction are fighting.

The Gewu School and the Heart School are fighting.

Not only are the newspapers fighting, but the school palace is fiercely debated every day, and the folk social science is also debating, which can be called a group of demons dancing.

The emperor not only did not stop it, but also opened a thousand school palaces in Jiangnan, invited local Confucians to teach, and allowed various schools of thought to challenge.

The third fight is to expand the scope of the struggle.

Starting from the south of the Yangtze River, fighting to North Korea, fighting to Heilongjiang, fighting to Gansu, fighting to Xinyizhou, fighting to every corner of the world, this is a regional struggle.

In this fight, there are no referees, there are no winners and losers.

Not only academic fighting, but also martial arts, sports, cooks, doctors, literature, the military, all walks of life have begun to fight, this is the struggle in the industry.

There is a struggle everywhere, stronger than whom.

This is an era of great explosion of ideas, an era of sparks from various cultures around the world, and an era that the emperor himself introduced.

Even the emperor himself did not know where the future was.

He just hoped that with this extremely relaxed social and speech environment, the deep-rooted small-scale peasant thinking of the Ming Dynasty would be reversed, and the budding capitalism would break out and the industrial revolution would be carried out.

In this war, he is not a referee, he is just a player.

When Hu Hu entered the palace, he saw a group of dejected scholars.

Seeing the treasures they brought, I couldn't help but sigh, Daming attaches so much importance to craftsmen, what will happen in the future?

He was in Jiangnan, and he had a feeling of avoiding the new ideas that broke out in Jiangnan, and this kind of ideological tide was really mighty, and an old man like him couldn't accept it.

Newspapers are flying all over the sky, all kinds of writings are flying all over the sky, and a person who loves books is overwhelmed.

When I feel fear, I also feel the vitality of terror.

This is the vitality injected by the emperor into the world, he completely liberalized the control, and even the insults of the people against the emperor are commonplace, and the emperor doesn't care.

Can thoughts not explode?

When I entered the Qianqing Palace, I saw the emperor sulking.

I chuckled in my heart, who offended him again?

Feng Xiao hurriedly sent the victory report to the emperor.

Hu Hu immediately understood where the emperor was angry.

"Your Majesty, it's not easy to level the state, even if there is a mistake, it is reasonable." Hu Hu advised the emperor not to care.

Zhu Qiyu snorted, too lazy to explain: "Sichuan is too big, and a governor can't manage it." ”

Hu Hui frowned: "Your Majesty, Sichuan is indeed big, but you see that the places occupied by Sichuan are all dangerous terrain, once Yungui has changed, you can immediately send troops." ”

"If Sichuan is split now, Lao Chen is worried that there will be changes in Wusizhen and Yunnan."

In Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty, there is a part of Wusizhen, most of Yunnan, and a small part of Guizhou and Hubei, and the place is particularly large.

"It's not that I want to split into two provinces, it's too early."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Banzhou was included in Guizhou before, and the territory of Guizhou is still small, so I want to include Zhenxiong Mansion, Wusa Mansion and Wumeng Mansion into Guizhou. ”

Hu Hu immediately objected: "Your Majesty, look at this terrain, Zhenxiong Sanfu, is the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou, and it is divided into Sichuan, which is to use Sichuan to hold these two places hostage. ”

"This is the land of Zhangye, and it can't be rowed away."

He stretched out his arms and moved and creaked, this was the place.

"Lao Chen thinks that it is better to cut off a part from the snowy mountains, and then divide a part from Duosi to establish a province."

Hu Hu is bad enough, this is Luchuan's punishment for contacting Wu Sizhen.

Wu Sizhen is too vast, and it is all mountainous, the Han people are unwilling to go up to survive, although they can't escape from the palm of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no management of the officials, which is really unpleasant.

Don't talk about it, now they don't listen to the announcement, even the Ming Dynasty won in the north, they also closed the door to live their own small life, and they didn't care about the Ming at all.

Hu Hu drew a line on Chengdu Mansion, west of Chengdu Mansion, divided into a new province, and east of Sichuan Province.

"The low-altitude places of the snow-capped mountains are classified into the new province, and the governance office is still in Chengdu, and the city is used to hold Wu Si Zhen hostage, and Wu Si Zhen will never be able to mess up."

"If you put the mountains and mountains of Duosi into Chengdu, you will not be able to turn the wind and waves in the future."

Hu Hui's trick is enough.

Split Sichuan into two provinces, put good things in the basin, and the essence of Wusi Zhen and Duosi were all included in Sichuan, forcing the foreign feudal domains to annex them.

"How is one Chengdu Mansion enough, Songpanwei, Long'an Mansion, Tongchuan Prefecture, Jiading Prefecture, Meizhou, Qiongzhou, Yazhou, Tianquan Six Prefectures Recruitment Division, Lizhou Pacification Division, Sichuan Xingdu Division, Dongchuan Mansion, Mahu Prefecture, Wumeng Mansion, and Wusa Mansion are split into three petals, and Yunnan, Sichuan, and New Provinces each occupy a corner to establish Sichuan Province."

"To the west, Baoning Mansion, Kuizhou Mansion, Shunqing Mansion, Chongqing Mansion, Xuzhou Mansion, Zhenxiong Mansion, and then put the Yongning Xuanwei Division into Luzhou, establish Luzhou Mansion, and establish Chongqing Province."

In fact, it is to turn the territory of modern Sichuan into Chongqing Province.

After the split of Wusafu, the four provinces of Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, and Yunnan all had a common border.

Usafu will be able to become a place for hoarding heavy troops, and assist in the management of the four provinces.

Hu Hu stroked his beard and smiled, or the emperor is bad, the territory of Sichuan Province has moved westward, this is to swallow the essence of Wu Si Zhen and Duo Si in one bite.

Then take advantage of the situation and set up a rogue official to manage the Wusizhen.

"Then the abbreviation of Sichuan is still Shu, and the abbreviation of Chongqing is Ba or Chongqing." Zhu Qiyu smiled evilly.

"It's better to call it Chongqing, Badi is too old, in fact, it is no longer appropriate for Sichuan to be called Shu, but it can be used for benefits, and benefits have been used, so it's better to call it Shu."

Then settle down, the original Sichuan was split into two provinces, Sichuan and Chongqing, referred to as Shu and Chongqing.

"Your Majesty, there is no hurry for the time being, wait for Sichuan to be completely leveled, and then split, we are not ready to annex Dostous."

Hu Hu said with a smile: "After the split, immediately send the officials to manage Wu Si Zhen, so that Wu Si Zhen is just meat in the pot and can't run away." ”

Zhu Qiyu said: "Old lady, since it has been split, simply split the North Zhili and split it into North Zhili and Hebei." ”

"Your Majesty, do you know why Beizhili needs such a big place?"

Hu Hui said: "Such a big place, that is, the dignitaries need the people to serve them, if you only keep the place with a bigger palm, you don't want to enjoy it, but the magnates in the Beijing division may not, not driven by the people of Zhili, how can they enjoy it?" ”

"The king of the future, it is inevitable that there will be those who are greedy for enjoyment, you can row away now, and you will row back in the future."

Hu Hu was blunt.

Zhu Qiyu muttered: "The powerful families have money, just give some money, split, referred to as Yan, Beizhili uses Beijing." ”

I can put it in the north.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty has added many provinces.

Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Rehe, Beizhili, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Sichuan, Chongqing, Wusizhen, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Jiaozhi, Jiannan.

Two capitals and 27 provinces.

And that's not even counting the capital.

"I think the name of Hanzhou is not good, and after the conquest of Wuliangha, two more provinces will be built in the northeast, what do you think should be changed?"

Or there are folk rumors that the emperor doesn't love beauties and loves maps.

The emperor looked at the map every day.

In every temple where he lived, a map was drawn on the wall.

He coveted the land, and the officials naturally coveted the land, and there were maps drawn on the walls of the officials' homes, which everyone often reads.

Nowadays, folk books must be printed with maps.

The factory also printed maps for sale, and embroidered the map on the clothes, anyway, the emperor loves the map, and everyone in the world loves the map.

"Why don't you call it the Mongolian capital."

Da Ming is strong, and he is not afraid of problems with his name.

Zhu Qiyu muttered: "Then change to Mongolian Province in the future?" Abbreviated as meta? If it evokes their memories, will it be reversed? ”

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty oppresses people with power, and forces people with a strong army, and now it is forced to be sinicized, and it will be clear in twenty years."

"The old minister said something disrespectful."

"No matter what the name is, the land outside the plug is the land outside the plug, as long as the Ming Dynasty declines, they will show their minions."

Hu Hu said seriously: "Your Majesty, you rebuild martial arts, the old minister is very supportive, as long as the Ming Dynasty is strong for a hundred years, then these foreign places will become the mainland." ”

In other words, it all takes time.

"Then change it to the Mongolian capital."

Now Zhu Qiyu's vision is very different from before, and he is bullying people with righteousness.

The Mongolian capital division is very large, and the fishing sea division is even larger, and the fishing sea is referred to as Ji in the future.

Hu Hu continued: "As for the two more provinces to be built in the northeast, the cabinet has already sent people to see it, and the place is very cold and difficult to live in. ”

"It is simply divided by the Xing'an Mountains, which are Jilin and Heilongjiang to the south of the Xing'an Mountains, and to the north of the Xing'an Mountains, it is called Xing'an Mountains Province."

"As long as the Ming Dynasty plants the flag and exiles some criminals, the local tribe of Huairou will be considered to be standing."

"It's Jilin and Heilongjiang, Xu Hui sent it to the cabinet, and the old minister saw it, he said that Jilin is a treasure land, and you can grow corn, soybeans and other crops, but not rice, and he is leading people to improve rice seeds."

"Lao Chen thinks that if we spend thirty years to build the Northeast, with the vastness of the Northeast, we can provide grain for the Beijing Division, and we don't have to count on the taxes in Jiangnan."

The implication of Hu Hu's words is that no matter how you split the Jiangnan gentry, as long as the north points to Jiangnan to pay taxes, Jiangnan will eventually become bigger.

If a few large granaries are cleared, Jiangnan's status will decline instead.

Zhu Qiyu groaned, cleaned up the granary of the two lakes, added a northeast granary in the future, and then built Jiaoyi, Gui and Fujian and other places into oil centers, and in the future, there will be a big granary of Siam, so the status of Jiangnan will naturally decline.

"The old lady's words are like Hong Zhong Dalu, and I have benefited a lot."

Zhu Qiyu was not angry anymore, chatted for a while, and sent Hu Hu out of the palace.

The Holy Decree flew to Guizhou.

The four Yue Zheng, who were celebrating their achievements, were actually hung up in public by the eunuchs and whipped ten times.

Fortunately, the emperor gave them face, and they didn't strip and smoke, otherwise they would not have the face to live.

Those local village owners who had just returned to obedience all looked stupid.

That Yue Zheng spoke half-cut and was very official, Xiang Wenyao's eyes were above the top, Li Kuang's nostrils were facing the sky, and Tao Cheng was even more scolding them.

Then the Great Emperor, how can his power be so terrifying?

Song Ling, Hao Zhijie and others were stunned, in their eyes, Tao Cheng was already their unattainable figure, but such a character was scolded by the holy decree, and then whipped in public, and then knelt down to ask for guilt.

This is the power of the Emperor!

This is wartime, Yue Zheng has more than 100,000 soldiers in his hands, and there are more than 100,000 prisoners, if Yue Zheng rebels angrily, he can directly support 300,000 soldiers.

But the emperor directly pumped them.

What does this mean?

The emperor's authority is terrifying, and the four people who are flying and domineering can only obediently ask for guilt, and dare not have any disrespect.

Song Ling and Hao Zhijie just kowtowed, handed over everything and surrendered to Daming, and were frightened.

That night, Yue Zheng was so painful that his eyes were full of stars, and he was carried to Xiang Wenyao's new mansion, and the two looked at each other and felt bitter.

"It's so wronged, we didn't stretch out our hands." Xiang Wenyao howled.

Yue Zheng asked people to close the door and not allow anyone to approach.

"Alright, don't pretend."

Yue Zheng smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is really ruthless, and he won't leave us at all." ”

Xiang Wenyao saw that there was no one left and right, and he was also anxious: "Obviously, I said, don't keep so much, don't keep so much, Jin Zhong dug out so much silver from Jiangxi, and the Banzhou Yang family has monopolized it for a thousand years, and it is only seven million family assets?" Can Your Majesty not be angry? ”

"What's the use of complaining about those? Isn't Jin Zhong greedy? Look at the mansion built by Jin Zhong's Jingshi, which is more magnificent than the palace. ”

Yue Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense: "What is difficult now is that if you pay this money, how to appease it below!" ”

It's not that they are greedy, but that the natives want more.

Let the natives work hard, no money?

Buy the hearts of the army, don't you need money?

These can't be written in the military newspaper, you can only be greedy for some, and then reward them privately to the below, so that the people below will work hard.

As a result, the emperor is a veteran of copying the house, and the Tao is too clear.

Since the eighth year of Jingtai, he has raised money when he is short of money, and he is clear about how much money a family can make.

"Some of the money has been sent, how can I ask for it back!"

Xiang Wenyao said: "And the emperor doesn't love antiques, these things enter the palace, and they can't be converted into much silver." ”

The emperor didn't want a fixed property, but he wanted gold and silver.

"I can only stop sending it and put together the silver." Yue Zheng regretted a little, he was originally in the emperor's heart, but this time he fell back to the notoriety of a corrupt official, I am afraid that the emperor dislikes him from the heart.

This year, he is afraid that he will have a bad review and regret not being at the beginning.

In fact, he only got more than one million taels of silver.

Over the mountains and mountains, fighting hard in Baal, it is really not much to earn a million taels.

The key is that there is no oil and water in Guizhou, and his future life in Guizhou will be tight, and he even has to take it out to make some connections, and there is not much left.

They copied out a total of only 24 million taels, and there were a lot of literary toys among them.

How accurate the emperor's bid was, asking for 20 million, leaving them 4 million.

There is also a fixed property, all of which can be sold, but some particularly steep places must be burned to prevent anyone from separating them from here.

The extremely precipitous Guancheng must be destroyed as much as possible, and a few more roads should be opened so that Guizhou cannot become a place of secession.

"If you don't keep your word, how can you lead the troops?"

Xiang Wenyao was dissatisfied: "Don't forget, this is a toast, and there are several big toasts in Anning, Shuidong, Shuixi, and Youyang, once there is a change in the army, the good situation will collapse." ”

Yue Zheng sighed, the emperor gave them a big problem.

As long as they dare to be defeated, the emperor will immediately change generals and escort them back to Beijing.

Don't think about rebellion, the lifeblood of the ordnance is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, even if those natives will follow them to rebel, waiting for the Ming army to come up, and bombard the natives with artillery, these people rebel in minutes, and it is Yue Zheng who dies.

They never thought about rebellion at all, first, they were all the top elites of the Ming Dynasty; Second, it really can't be reversed, why did the Ming Dynasty use literati to lead the army, that is, literati can't oppose it.

Although the holy decree is severe, the emperor only needs this amount, and it is enough to leave them a million as hard-earned money.

In exchange for Emperor Taizu, this money is enough to peel and weed the nine clans.

There is no reward for this battle, waiting for Guizhou to be completely flattened, the reward that should be given will be given, the emperor's generosity, everyone in the world knows.

If they are punished, won't the rewards in the army also be issued, those who should be promoted will be promoted, those who should be given money will be given money, and the pension will be a lot of money.

This is the credibility of the emperor.

Tauru is giving his father medicine.

Tao Cheng had no face to see people, this was the first time he was greedy, but he was caught by the emperor.

"Father, how dare you be so greedy!" Tauru didn't expect his father to fall so quickly.

"Brothers, who have worked hard with Lao Tzu, should they get some rewards?"

Tao Cheng said angrily: "Haven't you heard, Ou Xin carried out a massacre in Cambodia, every soldier has made a fortune, we are in Guizhou, we can't slaughter, the war exploits are like this, live on rewards, Lao Tzu is not greedy, can the army be willing to serve?" ”

Don't forget, many of Tao Cheng's hands are also from Guangxi.

How much money did the fellow villagers earn on the battlefield of Jiaoyi, they all have rumors, and it is even harder to fight in Guizhou, but they can't get their money, and the army is naturally shaken.

Tao Cheng has to rely on these Han people to hold the natives hostage.

Therefore, there was opposition in the army, so he thought of taking a little more, rewarding it privately, and letting the brothers eat stew.

Don't forget, the emperor is dissatisfied with the progress of Guizhou, and even the supply of military food is a limit, not to mention meat, this expedition only issued a meat ticket, and he ate meat for the first time in two years.

Two years ago, they ate meat all at once.

It's no wonder that the generals are satisfied.

It is not allowed to massacre and plunder property, and the army naturally disobeys discipline, so Tao Cheng can only promise to reward more money after winning the battle.

The imperial court will definitely not approve it, and the emperor does not want to read Guizhou's military newspaper now.

They can only figure it out on their own.

After taking the Sea Dragon Hoard, he was frightened by the Yang family's seven hundred years of accumulation, so he took a risk and moved the money.

As a result, in exchange for ten whips, there is no loss.

Tao Cheng didn't think about rebellion, don't look at him now as Uncle Tangzhou, he has quite prestige in the army, if he really rebels, those Han soldiers won't listen.

The emperor has never sent a reward, the military salary is still issued, and the reward is a lot, this time he won the battle, the reward and pension were all issued, and he was promoted according to the first rank, which was fair and just.

Their families are not in Guizhou, once they rebel and their families suffer, they are stupid to rebel against Tao Cheng, a poor general who has no money, no food and no guns, no one is a fool.

Tao Cheng didn't have this idea, he was a noble and corrupt, it was too normal, who would laugh at him, he would be laughed at if he wasn't greedy.

Tao Lu knows the difficulties in the army, but this money can't be moved, don't look at the few Han people in the army, but no one knows who is the factory guard.

Besides, this money still has to be verified by the Supervision Department and the Military Officials Department, and the poor ones can't be found, so how can they not be found out so much.

"Your Majesty didn't take away my title, it's already good."

"The exploits are gone."

Tao Cheng grinned in pain: "Go, call Song Ling, you Lao Tzu will talk to him." ”

Tao Lu immediately thought that his father wanted to raise Kou to be knighted, force the Song family to rebel, and then destroy the Song family, so as to make a knight.

"You're smart?"

Tao Cheng glared at him angrily: "Is your father and I so stupid?" ”

"And who are you?"

"Lao Tzu is in a bad mood, call him here and give him a beating!" Tao Cheng snorted angrily.

Tauru rolled his eyes.

Let people go and bring Song Ling in.

Song Wei was also unlucky, after hearing that Yue Zheng and the four of them were beaten, he kindly went to visit, but was blasted out by Yue Zheng and Xiang Wenyao.

That Li Kuang was the most unkind thing, and he actually asked people to whip him ten times before letting him go.

Then he was taken to Tao Cheng.

Seeing Tao Cheng who was humming angrily, Song Wei knelt directly on the ground: "Please spare your life!" ”

"Fuck off, Lao Tzu hurts!"

Tao Cheng said angrily: "Tao Lu, do it, smoke him!" ”

Song Wei howled and cried, I will help you fight the war, I want to surrender to you and you will not let me, now you are angry and use me as a punching bag, why are you bullying me so much.

The head of the dignified Shuidong Song clan cried so miserably.

Luxury Zhijie is not much better.

He didn't come to visit, and was buttoned up by Yue Zheng and hung from a tree overnight.

The next morning, the two brothers hugged each other and cried.

Yue Zheng is still in pain, who cares if they live or die, it would be better if they rebelled, wouldn't the battle merits come.

The Banzhou Propaganda Division was changed to Banzhou Mansion, and the territory of Guizhou was officially formed.

There is only the last big toast left of the Shui Xi'an clan.

And An's kept soothing the center and asked to be attached, but no one paid attention to him, and the lonely mound was just dry bones.

He Wenyuan was lucky, he was not pumped by the emperor, and when he saw the four of them being pumped, he squirmed his lips, the emperor is still the emperor, and he has not changed at all.

He has been in Sichuan for four years, and his official reputation is very good.

But he knew that he, the governor of Sichuan, was about to come to an end, and the emperor asked him to be the governor, not because of his official reputation, but because of his ability.

He was in Sichuan for four years, and he did not completely clear the Tusi, which made the emperor dissatisfied.

It is estimated that when Han Yong's term expires, Han Yong will be transferred to Sichuan.

He'll be back to the center in peace.

He Wenyuan accepted the luxury family to surrender to Cheng, and merged the Yongning Xuanwei Division into Luzhou, and Luzhou was upgraded from a state to a government.

The luxury family paid 15 million to the emperor and handed over the military power, and the family moved out of Yongning, went to Beijing to serve as a hereditary martial artist, and rewarded an earl, but there was no world ticket, so he had to earn it himself.

And in the center.

"It's only a matter of time before Guizhou is pacified."

On May 15, the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, Li Xian presided over the meeting in the cabinet: "The Song clan of Shuidong is willing to pay 15 million and move his family out of Guizhou. ”

"Shui Xi'an's clan also wants to pay money, but Yue Zheng won't let go."

The implication is that Yue Zheng wants to make meritorious contributions.

Li Xian looked around and said, "Your Majesty wants the captives of the Yang clan to build roads, but I think it's overkill, so I simply incorporated them into the army and sent them to Xinyizhou." ”

"Shuixian clan, also pay money, just move the family out of Guizhou, and then pay 100,000 yuan, Guizhou can't delay any longer."

"The Song family and the An family should be knighted, but they don't give the world coupons, the world coupons will be earned by themselves, and if they can't earn it, they will be a count."

"The news from Cochin that the situation in Xinyi Prefecture is very bad."

"The Southeast Coalition Army, known as two million, braved the rainy season to attack Xinyizhou, although it was able to defend the city, it was pressed and beaten, and there were already troops entering Xinyizhou."

"Xing Guogong is still training troops in Guangxi, and Xinyizhou is only supported by Guo Deng's three 150,000 troops."

"This battle is about the face of the Ming Dynasty and the stability of the land of Baiyue for a hundred years!"

"This is a national war, and it must be won!"

Li Xian made the final decision: "Therefore, in China, if it can be stable, it will be stable, and Guizhou cannot fight." Raise military rations and send them to Guangxi to support Xinyizhou at any time. ”

"Lord Shoufu is right, Guizhou Tusi has been raised by the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and it is close to the mainland, so it is already considered mature."

Wang Fu echoed: "The key is that there is no oil and water here, and now that corn is planted, the population is small and can still make a living, but if the population is large, it is difficult to be self-sufficient." ”

"Don't start any more wars."

"The Shuixian clan, the Shuidong Song clan, and the Yongning luxury clan are willing to pay enough silver, and the whole family can leave Guizhou."

"The top priority at the moment is to conquer Uliangha in the north, and the other is to fight the national war in the south."

"Fortunately, Zhu Ying was vigilant and did not emigrate to the border between Sinyi and Siam, otherwise the problem would be big."

"As long as we can survive the rainy season, everything is easy to say."

Wang Fu said: "This year's situation is really bad, it's May, there haven't been a few rains, I'm afraid there is really a drought." ”

"It doesn't hurt to have, wells have been dug in various places, and with well water for irrigation, it won't be too miserable." Geng Jiuchou said.

Fortunately, the emperor promoted the hand-pressed well, and also ordered the iron factory to build more, half sold and half sent, so that the people popularized.

When the time comes, the people will use the groundwater to irrigate themselves, and they will always be able to harvest a little.

"The cabinet should issue an order for the people not to sell grain and to prepare for drought." Bai Gui Dao.

In fact, he wanted to say, let the people not sell grain.

The people are not stupid, they just have some food in stock at home, how can they sell it.

"Absolutely not, if the drought is spread and the three of them become tigers, what will happen to them? If the drought is not bad, the people will be in chaos first. ”

Li Xian shook his head: "You can only suppress the grain merchants, and the grain merchants are not allowed to collect grain." ”

"How many people can you control?" Bai Gyu felt that it was useless work.

"Control one by one, and then the center will release the wind and buy a batch of grain."

The central government really can't control civil affairs.

Li Xian's words changed: "Your Majesty said that fishing sea fish, using dried fish for disaster relief, popularizing olive trees, boiling olive oil, and cultivating Jilin's cultivated land, hybridizing rice, and making rice seeds adapt to the cold of Jilin." ”

"After surviving the hard days of the past few years, it will be better in the future."

"The edict for opening the sea has been drawn up, and Qin Tianjian has picked out a good day and an auspicious day, and promulgated it for the whole country."

Although the coastal people had already gone to sea, the official edict had not been issued.

Now officially promulgated, it is specially written that after the opening of the sea, it will never be allowed to go to the sea.

Many copies of the edict were drafted, and the imperial list was also posted to announce it to the world.

Of course, there is no problem with this matter.

"Yesterday, the governor of Hubei Province was rich and sparse, saying that Shizhou Tusi was completely flattened, and there was no more half an inch of Tusi in the whole of Hubei."

"110,000 soldiers, 1,400,000 taels of gold and silver."

"What this Shoufu means is that these native soldiers were sent to Guangxi and handed over to Xing Guogong for training."

"Shizhou Wei was changed to Shizhou Mansion, and the original Yongshun Xuanwei Division was changed to Yongshun Prefecture."

"What do you think?"

Yongshun Xuanwei Division was flattened last year, and this year's Nianfu leveled Shizhouwei, and there is no place for Tusi in the whole Hubei.

"It's better to merge into the Shizhou capital, why set up a separate state?" Wang replied.

was vetoed by Li Xian: "It's better to set up two places, and beware of rebellion in tandem." ”

"And Hunan, it is estimated that it is about to be flattened, Baojing Prefecture Xuanwei Si Shu begged for mercy, at this time it is being besieged by Han Yong, and it will definitely be completely flattened this year."

"In this way, the land of the two lakes will completely become the mainland, and it will only take a little time to become completely rich."

"Your Majesty wants to build a big granary of the two lakes, and now you have sown Champa rice, and the growth is gratifying, and ten years later, it will be the land of fish and rice."

Nian Fu and Han Yong have made great contributions, and when these two people return to Beijing, they must join the cabinet.

"Your Majesty wants to split Sichuan and turn it into two provinces, which will be used to hold Wu Si Zhen and Duo Si hostage."

Li Xian discussed one more thing: "I think it is feasible, Sichuan is too big, and it is a basin, although it is rich, it is hindered by the terrain and cannot take off." ”

"After the split, the two provinces will be able to throw off their burdens and become the two richest provinces in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, and they will continue to give blood transfusions to the center in the future."

That makes sense.

The point is that after the split, there will be more officials, which is a good thing.

It's just that the financial burden has increased again.

Li Xian looked at Li Bing.

After Li Bing served as the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, he has been talking very little and has a very low sense of existence.

"The lower officials think that the center can afford the cost." Li Bingdao.

"After the split, Shuyu will be even more important."

"And after Guizhou is pacified, it is necessary to quickly pacify the Yunnan Tusi, Luchuan is provoking the Yunnan Tusi to rebel, and some people have already listened."

"The news from the Duke of Qianguo believes that Yunnan is unstable."

"Your Majesty wants to send Nian Fu and Han Yong to serve as governors of the two places, Nian Fu will be the governor of Chongqing Province, and Han Yong will be the governor of Sichuan Province."

"He Wenyuan returned to the center."

That's where the fun comes in.

The emperor made it clear that he looked down on He Wenyuan's level, and wanted to use more powerful Nian Fu and Han Yong to deter the two provinces.

Especially Han Yong, the most difficult place to supervise and appease, but almost together with Nianfu, he leveled Hunan, which shows his military ability.

Therefore, sending him to New Sichuan is to go to the Snow Mountain to fight, and also to go to Duosi to fight, after all, to expand the territory, Han Yong is competent, and he is rich and powerful, and the two of them are definitely a perfect match.

The matter was also settled.

Han Yonghe was rich and should have entered the cabinet, but he had to supervise him for three to four years.

"By the end of this year, the governors of Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang will be removed, and the governors of Anhui and Jiangsu will not be far away."

"Your Majesty means to be in the cabinet."

Everyone knows that the emperor wants to use the governor to enter the cabinet, first, to let the cabinet know more about the place; The second is that the emperor needs practical talents, not people from high positions.

This is the reason why Yao Kui can't compete with Li Xian.

Martial arts are also being laid in an orderly manner, building houses and recruiting officers to teach, although Yu Qian is in Guangxi, he is also doing this.

"When will Your Majesty return to Luan?" Yao Kui, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.

The emperor has been away from Beijing for almost two years, and Jiangnan is almost completely pacified, and it is time to return.

"Before the glacier freezes, it will return to Luan, and the internal supervisor is already preparing." Li Xian also knows that there is no legal time.

Yao Kui's eyes flickered.

After discussing some trivial matters, he dispersed and returned to the yamen to do business.

Zhao Fu, who was in charge of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion in Beijing, was really sad, as soon as he left, Guizhou went to war, and the good credit was gone.

When he heard that the emperor had absolved Yue Zheng and the four of them because of his reproach for corruption, he was actually happy.

Should!

The Northern Army has returned to Beijing.

Preparations for the Northern Expedition were being made, and the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Finance, and the Taifu Temple were very busy, and the Ordnance Bureau and the War Bureau were also busy.

The factories of the Ordnance Bureau and the War Bureau were moved to Tongzhou.

Zhao Fu also began to reorganize the armament and select soldiers.

There were three routes in the Northern Expeditionary Army, Zhao Fu, Yang Xin, and Mao Zhong, each commanding 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, totaling 120,000 troops.

Yang Xin escorted the crown prince Zhu Jianshen back to Beijing.

Zhou did not wait for the funeral, he fell ill, Empress Dowager Sun extrajudicial grace, spare her life, now life hangs by a thread, the emperor allows the prince to return to Beijing to take care.

Obviously, the emperor released a political signal that he was going to change the crown prince.

Yang Xin led the Tiger and Leopard Army to escort them back to Beijing.

In addition to the main force of the three routes, there is also the Liaoning Army as the auxiliary, Gu Rong, Niu Zhen, and Zheng Guta each led 10,000 people, ready to help.

On May 18, Zhu Jianshen arrived in Beijing.

Seeing this familiar city, his nose was a little sour, and he was led into the Chongzhi Palace.

Chongzhi Hall is outside the Forbidden City, on the east bank of the Taiye Pond, adjacent to the Forbidden City, and opposite the Banana Garden.

Zhu Qizhen's concubines and heirs were temporarily placed here.

After all, Nangong stopped using it.

When Zhu Jianshen saw his mother, she was already dying, her face was all festering, and her human form was like a ghost.

Although he didn't have much affection for his mother, he still burst into tears.

"Prince, why are you—why are you back? Is His Majesty's Luan driving back to Beijing? Zhou sat up strongly.

There is no one in the palace to serve, and those palace ladies are willing to serve the princesses who have Hualiu disease, and they are all lazy.

The Zhou family couldn't move them, so they could only wait for death here.

Her condition deteriorated so badly that she didn't know when she would close her eyes.

Zhu Jianshen didn't want to help her, worried about infection.

"Back to the princess, Your Majesty is still in Nanjing, and I heard that the princess is seriously ill and asked me to come back to serve the sick." Zhu Jianshen lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes.

With a bang, Zhou's head went blank.

What does the emperor mean, doesn't she understand?

"Why is Your Majesty so ruthless?" Zhou wept bitterly.

Zhu Jianshen didn't speak, he had already seen it, it would be good to be an idle prince, and it was best to separate it.

Otherwise, when His Majesty dies, it will be the time when he dies.

Zhou looked at him again: "Then, did Your Majesty promise you to make you a foreign vassal?" ”

"How can Your Majesty say such a big thing?" Zhu Jianshen felt that his mother was really stupid.

Her life hung by a thread, and she couldn't think too much about it, she just felt that her fate was ill-fated.

After crying for a while, tears flowed down his festering cheeks, full of stink, Zhu Jianshen stepped back inexplicably, and disgust flashed in his eyes.

"Prince, my life is not long in coming."

"But King Chong is still young, can you take care of him for me?"

Zhou looked at his eldest son with blank eyes: "You, although you passed on to Your Majesty, you still crawled out of my belly." ”

"You and King Chong, the same mother."

"Can you help him plan?"

The Zhou family is not a fool, the eldest son who can survive in the hands of Emperor Jingtai for twelve years is definitely not an ordinary person.

She died, and the one she was most worried about was her youngest son.

As for the eldest daughter Princess Chongqing, she is not worried, firstly, she is patriarchal, and secondly, Chongqing cannot threaten the throne, and Emperor Jingtai will not be difficult for her.

Zhu Jianshen suddenly raised his head and glanced at the disgusting face, his biological mother.

In my memory, the figure has been blurred.

He smiled and lowered his head again: "I will do my best." ”

Zhou was puzzled, the eldest son's eyes were very complicated, and she couldn't understand them.

Her time was short, and she didn't have time to think about it.

"Your Majesty is jealous of the Zhou family, and when you are a vassal clan, it is best to take the Zhou clan to the land of a foreign domain, and it can also help you."

Zhou muttered to himself: "And your Chongqing sister, when she reaches the age of marriage, you have to help her pay attention and find a good husband." ”

"When I die, can you ask Your Majesty to be gracious and bury me with the King of the Woling?"

Her voice grew lower.

Zhu Jianshen didn't answer, and after a long time, she didn't have any breath at all.

Slowly, Zhu Jianshen raised his face, there was no trace of tears on his face, he just looked at her in a daze: "Don't you think about me at all?" ”

"I was born in the palace, and I grew up under His Majesty's knees since I was a child, and I was cold."

"Do you know how I survived in the palace?"

"Now that the crown prince is gone, Your Majesty is capricious and suspicious, if he doesn't follow me, I'm afraid he will soon follow you."

"Mother, I'm human too."

"I also want someone to love, instead of living in the shadow of swords and swords since I was a child, I was not born strong, but had to be strong."

"When you are dying, let me take care of this and care for that."

"But why didn't you ask, who will love me?"

"I'm a kid too! I'm only fourteen! ”

Zhu Jianshen was expressionless, slowly stood up, walked out of this side hall, looked at the gloomy sky, and exhaled faintly: "The only one who cares about me the most in this world is her, if I am the emperor, I will let her own everything in this world." ”

"If I am a foreign vassal, I will ask Your Majesty to allow me to make her queen."

"Only she's true to me."

Zhu Jianshen regretted it, how good it would be if he didn't come back, in Nanjing, at least he was accompanied by her, and when he returned here, there was only a cold palace and a group of people he hated.

He left the Chongzhi Hall in a distraught.

Return to the East Palace to live.

He didn't have to go back to Nanjing, and he didn't ask for the position of prince, he just wanted to save his life.

I also wondered in my heart, whether the emperor would regret the matter of the outer domain, he had no wings in the previous dynasty, and there was no arm in the inner palace.

That's a good thing, though.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen and Zhou died, he became alone, and the emperor would no longer doubt him.

He opened a delicate book, the title page was printed with a map of the Ming Dynasty, looking at such a huge territory, there was a glimmer of hope in his heart.

In an instant, I was worried again, there are so many emperor's sons, will there be his share?

If you can win the favor of Our Lady, maybe you will have a chance......

No way!

Absolutely not!

The Holy Mother and the emperor bargained, there will be no good end, at this time must not fall to the Holy Mother, to continue to pretend to be stupid, and continue to go up, ask for the abolition of the crown prince, and ask the emperor to make a decree to marry Wan as a concubine.

The more obedient he is, the better his chances of getting a foreign vassal are.

You can't test the emperor's tone, the emperor is treacherous, and no one knows what he will think in the next moment.

Look at Yu Qian and Hu Hu, who serve the emperor, all old foxes, all frightened, it can be seen how the emperor's heart is.

Zhu Jianshen is extremely smart.

Another two thousand, it's over, Merry Christmas!
