Beiping, Kaiping, Daning.

In the 30 years of Hongwu, the total number of people in the three places was nearly 4 million, and the population grew rapidly, but the local villages did not change.

Opposite.

In some areas, the rural population has not increased but decreased, especially in health centers, where a large number of people have moved to cities.

A middle-aged man in an ordinary robe, followed by two retinues, as if he were an ordinary businessman.

Get off the train at the railway station in Hejian Fujing County, this platform is not big, but it belongs to the terminal station.

Several people hurried south.

In the evening, they arrived in Lingxian and entered the territory of Shandong.

At the moment of entering the city.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but look back, as if he wanted to take another look at Beiping.

"Master, why did you flee from Beiping?"

The entourage, recruited from his hometown, finally couldn't help but ask.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but touch the hard object in his arms, and said lonely: "I read the books of sages, and I am an official for thousands of miles only for the people." ”

"The lord is a good officer." The hometown affirmed.

"But my ability is limited." The middle-aged man let out a long sigh.

The prince of Beiping actually rebelled, he just shouted out, and in the face of this situation, the middle-aged man didn't know what to do.

"The master's order is about to come down, and the little prince has no intention of restraining the master, why not wait for the day when the order comes down."

The middle-aged man shook his head.

The little prince wants to rebel.

The news he guessed had been undoubtedly confirmed by the means used by the little prince to take over Daning, but he had not told anyone in his hometown, nor had he revealed it to anyone else.

But with emotion and reason.

He could not accept that there was a man-made counter-seizure of power.

Today, the little prince's soldiers and horses are strong, if he rebels and takes the world, then he can rebel and seize the world when other people's soldiers and horses are strong.

The world is in ruins.

This is inconsistent with the way of the saints.

Regime.

It is not the strong soldiers and horses who live in it, but the order as the priority, which is the foundation of the country and the blessing of the people.

But what's the matter.

The road of industrial development guided by the little prince, in the eyes of middle-aged people, is really a road that is beneficial to the country and the people.

Such a contradiction makes middle-aged people miserable.

He could not accept Yan Shizi's rebellion against the world with soldiers and horses, but also accepted Yan Shizi's path of industrial development.

This irreconcilable contradiction made him not know how to choose, and finally decided to escape the world.

Evade.

He handed over the official seal to the county magistrate of Ling County, and the county magistrate was shocked.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a fool."

The middle-aged man smiled lonely and left on his own.

The county commander looked at the official seal of the political envoy of Beiping in his hand, his eyes were complicated and dazed, and he let the person in front of him leave.

But there was an accident.

"May I ask if it's Yan Fantai?"

Several strong men stopped the middle-aged man at the Caoyun wharf.

"Who are you?"

Yan Du's heart sank.

Could it be the pursuers of Beiping?

A man stepped forward politely, took out his waist card and flashed it in front of Yan Yu's eyes, it turned out to be Jinyiwei.

"How did you know I was here?"

"It's not a secret, since Beiping, the three of us brothers have followed Yan Fantai and have been following here."

Yan was blunt.

"How long have you been in Peking?"

"Four years ago, I was ordered to be stationed in Beiping."

"Are there too many people?"

The man smiled, did not continue to answer Yan Dut, and the group went south.

The county magistrate was just about to send someone to the provincial capital, when two people suddenly broke in, also showed their waist cards, and took away the official seal of the Beiping political secretary in the county commander's hand.

At this time.

When Zhu Gaochi learned that Yan Yu had quietly left Beiping, he felt very bad and did not dare to continue to delay in Daning, so he went to see King Ning early the next morning.

"Uncle Ning."

"Good nephew, how are you going to settle your Uncle Wang?" The young King Ning looked at the junior in front of him, who was only a few months younger than him, his face changed for a while, and finally smiled.

Dozens of elite soldiers were on standby, and the entire house was searched over and over again.

King Ning's eyes picked, but he didn't say anything.

He's not stupid.

No matter what the future holds, I am a prisoner now, and I still want to follow the good of others.

This Zhu Gaochi dared to treat Daning like this, which shows how bold he is.

Whether he has the courage to kill Uncle Wang, King Ning doesn't want to gamble.

"Uncle Ning Wang rest assured, my nephew came to invite Uncle Ning's family to go to Beiping to stay for a while, and everything will be treated favorably."

"Okay, okay."

King Ning agreed.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at King Ning, this person was very self-aware, saved himself a lot of effort, and also avoided the ugliness between the two sides.

Just go.

King Ning's family was guarded by soldiers and locked up on a train, and their luggage would be packed and sent to Beiping by the people of King Ning's mansion.

Zhu Gaoxu took over the Changshi Mansion of King Ning, and the north parallel capital Si Fang Kuan, the stone box camp Qiu Fu, and a group of cronies and generals, the fastest time to digest the military strength of the Daning region.

After arranging all kinds of arrangements, Zhu Gaochi only stayed in Daning for three days under the people's farewell, and then hurriedly returned to Beiping.

The original plan was to stay in Daning for more than five days and fully summon the generals from all over the country.

As a result, because of Yan Blunt's matter, Zhu Gaochi's position was disrupted.

Really.

As the news of Yan Dull spread.

In Beiping, a large number of officials from the government department, the inspection department, and various prefectures and localities left with their seals.

Officials.

You can scold him, you can beat him, you can insult him.

But anyway.

Officials are local extensions of the center.

Without officials, this organization would disappear, and all government decrees, including local taxation, organization of civil power, and so on, would not be able to function.

A country.

It is inseparable from the common people and officials, no matter what era and what kind of title.

The first thing to happen was the Daimyo's Mansion, which was thousands of miles away from Beiping.

The Daimyo Mansion is 180 miles east to Dongchang Mansion in Shandong, 320 miles to Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province in the south, 280 li to Weihui Mansion in Henan Province in the southwest, 220 li to Zhangde Mansion in Henan Province in the west, 120 li to Guangping Mansion in the northwest, 200 li to Qinghe County in Guangping Prefecture in the northeast, 1,160 li to Beiping in the north, and 1,650 li to Nanjing.

King Yan's domain was Beiping, not the Northern Parallel Province.

Nominally.

The Daimyo's Mansion was under the control of the Beiping Political Division, and it was not subordinate to the Imperial Palace.

In the original time, because of Yan Blunt, Zhu Gaochi did not have the slightest obstacle to the development of industrialization in the Daimyo's Mansion.

And because he controlled the military power of the Daimyo's Mansion, it can be said that it was smooth sailing.

But the human heart is the human heart.

The hearts of officials are not so simple.

They have a wide range of contacts and know more information.

Zhu Gaochi sent an army to attack Daning.

Most of the local people do not know about such shocking news and are still living in their daily lives.

The same goes for factories.

But the officials knew that the little prince had rebelled.

These officials transferred from other places could not accept this reality, and the prefect of the daimyo prefecture asked the local militia to enter the city.

If you follow the traditional efficiency.

The military situation of the Daimyo's Mansion, because of the distance of more than 1,000 miles, coupled with the closure and control of the Daimyo's Governor's Mansion, I am afraid it will take a few days, or even longer, to convey Beiping.

In the mode of gathering troops, preparing grain and grass, and marching in a hurry, it will take about half a month for the troops to arrive in the city.

But Zhu Gaochi received the news the next day.

"Whose hands is the Daimyofu Railway Station still in your hands?"

"In our hands."

"The prefect of the Daimyo Prefecture summoned five hundred militiamen from the local area and originally wanted to take over the railway station, but the station guards refused."

"What about the fourth battalion of the new army of the Daimyofu?"

"He also refused the other party's order, and sent troops to support the railway station, and at the same time sent troops into the city, seized the north gate, and confronted the local militia."

"Was there any bloodshed?"

"No, those militias are restrained."

"Order."

"The four battalions of the new army were immediately drawn from the barracks, and the whole army entered the city of the daimyo's mansion and took over the city's defense, but not to disturb the people, and to ensure local order."

Zhu Gaochi said decisively.

At all costs.

At present, the trade and material circulation between Beiping and the mainland of Daming have not been affected at present, and they are still in exchange.

This is the most favorable economic situation for Beiping, and Zhu Gaochi will not take the initiative to interrupt.

This phenomenon can be maintained for as long as it can be maintained.

The downside is the turnover.

Yan Yu can easily leave Beiping, which is the reason.

"First the escape of Yan Fantai, and now the rebellion of the Daimyo's Mansion, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be more and more commotion."

Jin Zhong worried.

"And now spring ploughing, subordinates are worried about whether it will affect this year's spring ploughing, which is related to grain production, and I really dare not wait for it."

Zhu Gaochi's brows furrowed.

There is no unity of thought.

The ideology of the army is unified, but the people and the army are different.

"Meeting."

"Have a convention."

"Convene a plenary political meeting in Beiping."

Zhu Gaochi thought.

Jin Zhong looked at Zhu Gaochi curiously, not understanding the significance of this meeting.

The little prince likes to have meetings.

We often had various meetings and became a process.

For example, the General Business Conference.

In order to smoothly convene the plenary political conference, Zhu Gaochi first convened an important internal meeting.

Changshi Mansion, Beiping Political Division, Inspectorate Division, Capital Division, China Heavy Industry, each with important figures involved.

"Famous objects look illusory, but famous objects cannot be ignored."

"The current situation in Beiping is to defend the industrial development path of Beiping, and all the people should participate."

"In order to fully call on all the people to join in and defend the fruits of Beiping's industrialization development path, the first Peiping Plenary Political Conference will be held."

"Officials, soldiers, ordinary people, workers, scholars, and local squires should all participate in unifying their thinking through the Peiping Plenary Political Conference."

Zhu Gaochi explained his thinking to everyone.

The politics of the Western tradition.

It is the divine right of kings.

The politics of the Eastern tradition.

It is the right of the king.

It's all top-down, sacred, and unshakable.

Right now.

Zhu Gaochi wants to fight against the sky, and he has no famous weapon himself, so he needs a new famous weapon, that is, the Peking Political Conference.

In essence, the same is the unification of thought.

Let all strata in Peking recognize Zhu Gaochi, that is, the monarchy and the people, the same sacredness and unshakable.

This has roots in the East.

In line with the way of Mencius.

"Heaven sees itself as the people, and the sky listens to the people."

Confucianism's real heavenly authority of monarchy, this heaven refers to the people, and it itself is the granting of monarchy and people's authority, not the understanding of new words.
