"In June, Ding Si, led the army to the Ruanli River, when Hu cavalry 30,000 condescending, on the 30,000 confrontation, Hu soldiers rushed into battle, Wang Shi destroyed its edge with muskets, swords and guns broke its people, Tulu died and the troops were defeated, it was a battle to kill 7,647 enemies, capture Hu soldiers, women and children, more than 600,000 cattle and sheep."

On June 27, the third year of Yongle, when the results of the Northern Expedition were transmitted back to the capital, the ministers on the Fengtian Temple Square looked at each other, and Zhu Gaoxu under the canopy umbrella glanced at them, signaling Yizha to continue speaking.

He also lost his heart, and immediately recited the content of the military report of the Governor's Mansion of the Six Armies, and also recited the content of Zhu Di's holy decree.

To put it simply, Zhu Di did not continue to stay in the local area after the destruction of the Wuliangha guards, but set up a thousand households in the warring river valley, and left a thousand soldiers and horses to be stationed temporarily, and at the same time left half of the general's grain to them.

Zhu Di set up two guards in Wuliang Ha Bald Mountain and Wuliang Ha City, but he did not choose a name, signaled to let Zhu Gaoxu take a name, and at the same time asked Zhu Gaoxu to set up guards in important places.

Because of this, after reading the will, Zhu Gaoxu said without thinking:

"Merge Modong into the Daning Dusi, set up Baichengwei in Wuliang Ha Bald City, set up Taining Wei in Wuliang Ha Bald Mountain, 200 miles northeast of Wuliang Ha Bald Mountain, set up Hechengwei in the middle and upper reaches of the Annoying Wen River, and change the Annoying Wen River to Nenjiang."

"There are 20 schools under the jurisdiction of the three guards, each of which is full, and the prisoners of Zhaozhou are assigned to fill the three guards of Baicheng, Taining and Hecheng, and the people of Wuliang Ha are relocated to the provinces of Liaodong, and the herds are included in the Taifu Temple of Liaodong and Bohai."

"In addition, the guards of Xincheng and Huizhou under the rule of the Daning Capital Division were abolished, and they were reduced to thousands of households, and the remaining military households went north to Baichengwei."

Zhu Gaoxu set the specific situation of the new three guards in the Daning Metropolitan Division, and the hundred officials heard the words one after another, and the officials of the Governor's Office of the Sixth Army in Beijing also made a decision.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhu Gaoxu announced some new policies:

"Order Meng Zhang, the Duke of Liao, to appease the Jurchens of Beishan, Donghai and other departments, and add the Bohai Guard."

"Shanxi Xingdu Division added Wuyuanwei, and migrated the people who had no land in Shanxi to Shanxi Xingdu Division to open up wasteland and cultivated land."

"The fatwa ordered Shanxi Xingdu to command Lin Su to remove some of the guards and set up a county."

In a few simple words, it reveals the future direction of the Ming Dynasty.

The Shanxi Xingdu Division mainly manages the Hetao area and part of Shanxi and Monan areas.

Shanxi Xingdu Division changed to Wei County, that is, it took a step forward on the road of solid land.

If nothing else, the imperial court's northern focus in the next few years will be on the Hetao and Daning regions.

As long as Hetao and Daning are safe and sound, the entire Northeast region can produce with peace of mind, and in this way, it is a sure thing that Bohai will increase from the capital division to the third division in the future.

"Retreat!"

After explaining his concept of northern governance in the next few years, Zhu Gaoxu did not argue with the ministers, but bluntly announced his retreat from the dynasty.

"His Royal Highness Chitose ......"

The ministers returned the salute, but Zhu Gaoxu had already gone away.

He sat on the golden chariot and returned to the Chunhe Palace, and asked Yishu Ha as soon as he sat down: "When will my father come back?" ”

Hearing this, Yishu Ha also replied according to the news sent back by Zhu Di: "The army has returned to Baicheng, and Your Majesty should return to Beijing in early August with the two guards of Yanshan in Beiping, and wait for the three guards of Modong to replace Li Wei before they go south." ”

"Calculating the time, it should be around September to go south."

"September ......" Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly, and said again: "How about Guo Zi and Yu Xin's study?" ”

"Not bad." He also responded, and then walked to the table to find a few books that had arrived in Nanjing today.

"This is the "Yellow Book" and "Fish Scale Atlas" sent by the Jiaozhi Dusi this morning, in addition, Zheng He Liucui is sitting in the southern five mansions, and he and Yang Zhan, the Duke of Yue, led the fleet back to Guangzhou to recruit troops, and it is expected that Layue will go south to the South Seas."

"There is also this letter sent by 16 countries such as Champa, Khmer, and Siam, hoping to come to the capital to pay tribute with the help of the Western Fleet."

"These two copies were sent by the Duke of Qianguo and the Duke of Cao to quell the rebellion in Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan and other places."

Yizha said a bunch of things, and Zhu Gaoxu also opened these things one by one, first of all, Annan's "Yellow Book" and "Fish Scale Atlas" sent by Jiaozhi Dusi.

[Forty-eight prefectures, one hundred and sixty-eight counties, two hundred and twenty-four thousand six hundred and seventy-two households, ninety-five elephants, two hundred and seventy-one horses, thirty-two thousand five hundred and twenty cattle, and eight thousand eight hundred and sixty-five ships. 】

[Hankou 124,750, Annankou 1,897,400, cultivated land 1,644,277,306 acres.] 】

"More than 2.02 million people, more than 16 million acres of cultivated land...... Not bad. ”

After reading the contents of the "Yellow Book" and the "Fish Scale Atlas", Zhu Gaoxu nodded with satisfaction, although the local population of Annam is still nearly 1.9 million, at least the migration speed of the Han people is not too slow.

Since Jiangnan and other places were forcibly resettled, Zhu Gaoxu took a slight look and found that the population of Annan could basically reach about 160,000.

If the 160,000 displaced people who have no arable land are relocated to Annam, the population of Annam will reach 280,000.

This proportion is not low, at least higher than the proportion of nearly 3 million Annam's population and only 300,000 Han Chinese in history.

"The problem now is the barbarians in the Changshan Mountain Range, their number should not be underestimated, and they are the ones who will have to deal with them after the Hu father and son are exterminated."

"To deal with them, we can pull one faction to fight another, win over those who submit to us, fight against those who resist us, and at the same time let the local people of Annam oppose them, so that my Han people can reproduce steadily."

Zhu Gaoxu's intention is obvious, that is, to use the hatred of the Changshan barbarians and the Annamite people to exacerbate the contradictions between the two sides, so that they will ignore the Han people.

When they are almost in the fight, the Han people can also use their population advantage to assimilate them, and then completely control Annam.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the two capitals and thirteen provinces had to develop more and more in Zhu Gaoxu's own hands until he could no longer eat.

For now, Indochina is difficult to eat, and what it has eaten without a name is more than a dozen countries in the Siam region, as well as the Cham and Khmer in the south of Annam, and a dozen or so small countries on the Malay Peninsula.

Java, Sumatra, Luzon and other islands in the South Seas can only eat a few important islands, unless the Ming Dynasty can explode in the next few decades, it will be difficult to eat the three Xuan and six comforts of the South Sea and Indochina Peninsula.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the northeast region south of Heilongjiang is already regarded as a traditional Han land, as long as the Jurchens are recruited out of the mountains, and then enough criminals are assigned to occupy both sides of the Heilongjiang River, then there is no problem in actually controlling the northeast region.

Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty experienced more than 200 years of war, and its population increased from more than 400,000 at the beginning to 2 or 3 million at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, as long as you don't have problems, you can at least double the population of the entire Northeast region in a few decades.

If the population of the northeast can exceed five million, it will be the arrival of the Xiaoice Age, and the northeast will not suffer much problem.

The reason why Nurhachi was able to cultivate at the end of the Ming Dynasty was that in addition to Li Chengliang's support, it also had many problems with the floods in the northeast during the Xiaoice River period.

However, the floods in history were because the Jurchen tribes did not have enough population and strength to build water conservancy, which made the entire Guanwai people miserable.

At present, although the water conservancy construction in the northeast region is not as good as that in the south of the Yangtze River, it is better than most of the provinces in the north.

As long as it continues to be maintained, relying on the three major rivers of Heilongjiang, Songhua River and Nenjiang, it is enough for more and more people in the northeast, not to mention the large number of mines and handicraft workshops built by the Ming Dynasty outside the Guan.

"Tell Zheng He not to be too anxious to go to the Western Ocean, train the soldiers and then go south, and all the ships in the South Seas need to be inspected, and those who dare to resist will bombard and sink the ship, and leave no one alive."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zheng He and Yang Zhan's recital, and also instructed them through Yishiha.

Zhu Gaoxu doesn't care about the pirate king Chen Zuyi, anyway, in front of the naval guns and the Western fleet, they are just thieves who drive fishing boats.

As for what the Nanyang Parliaments think, Zhu Gaoxu didn't bother to care if it would affect them, anyway, they were not good birds.

In the end, wasn't the Old Port Propaganda Division destroyed by this group of guys?

If they don't show their force, they still think that Daming's artillery is an ornament.

"Will this make the Nanyang countries dissatisfied with the imperial court?"

"So what?"

Yi Lost Ha said worriedly, but Zhu Gaoxu looked at Song Shu and said easily: "If you don't hurt them, they won't know who is the Celestial Empire and who is the co-ruler of the world." ”

"Don't swallow your anger for the sake of temporary peace and show the demeanor of a so-called great power."

"Only if the reason is big enough will they be as polite as you."

What the truth of what Zhu Gaoxu said, Yizha can guess without thinking too much, so he didn't continue, just nodded to show that he understood.

"If Champong, Siam and other countries are willing to send envoys to return to Nanjing with the fleet, just enough to let them see the power of the imperial court."

"As for the Southwest......

Zhu Gaoxu opened two notes from Mu Chun and Li Jinglong, both of which were counterinsurgency against the Tusi rebellion in the southwest.

The pacification of Annan did let the Southwest Tusi see the strength of the Ming Dynasty, but it also bred a group of guys who were used to looting.

For this group of people, Mu Chun and Li Jinglong are not soft.

In the past four months, as many as 42 Tusi families have been destroyed, and they have been reclaimed and reclaimed, and the land has been evenly distributed to the young people under the rule of Tusi.

Guangxi, Yunnan, and Sichuan have also increased the cultivated land in the "Fish Scale Atlas" by nearly 400,000 mu, and the number of people in the "Yellow Book" has also increased by nearly 100,000.

These toasts are not considered to have brains and strength, and the real strength has to be the three major toasts in Yunnan and the four major toasts in Sichuan, as well as the Yaomiao toasts in Guangxi.

If they can all be cleaned up, the three southwestern provinces will be able to increase their population by at least two to three million in one go, and hundreds of millions of acres of cultivated land.

But for now, what Da Ming needs is to recuperate, after all, he has been fighting for two consecutive years.

"These natives are exempt from paying taxes for one year, and they also send Siyi Pavilion officials to learn the local language, and send officials who learn these languages to Shandong and Liaodong to build Siyi Pavilion."

"Students who graduate from government schools in the next five years can sign up for free study in Siyi Hall, and after successful study, they can participate in the imperial examination of the middle paper."

Zhu Gaoxu said his thoughts, and he also said cautiously when he heard this: "Do you want to include language in the middle volume?" ”

"Pretty much, you can't expect a bunch of high-spirited scholars to teach the local people in official language, right?" Zhu Gaoxu shook his head and gestured with his hand to check it.

Yisha looked at Zhu Gaoxu's hand towards Song Shu, and easily saw several riots that broke out into fights because of language problems.

Fortunately, Mu Chun is not an unreasonable person, for this kind of turmoil, Mu Chun will send people to persuade him, and the local people will be honest again and continue to pay taxes in the local farming.

"Only by learning their language first, can we promote official learning and let the local people integrate into the Ming Dynasty."

Before Zhu Gaoxu's words fell, he heard a piercing cry, and he couldn't help leaning back in his chair, looking at Yisha, very helpless.

In just a few breaths, Guo Yan held his hair and shaved it, and Zhu Zhanyan, who had a bald head, appeared in the Chunhe Palace.

As soon as he saw Zhu Gaoyu, Zhu Zhanyan stopped crying, and Zhu Gaoxu could only get up and walk towards Guo Yan, signaling to take Zhu Zhanyan.

"This kid hasn't seen you for too long, and he's always crying."

Guo Yan said helplessly, Zhu Gaoxu also hugged Zhu Zhanyan and smiled bitterly: "Boy, are you sincerely tossing your father?" ”

"Daddy... Daddy......"

Zhu Zhanyan said simple words, and people didn't cry anymore, so he looked at Zhu Gaoxu with his big black and white eyes.

"Everyone else is close to their sons, but how can they be close to their fathers?"

Zhu Gaoxu said, and then lifted Zhu Zhanyu up, making him dance happily.

Looking at this scene, Guo Yan and Yishiha looked at each other, as if to say that you are close to you because you don't treat your son as a son.

"Have you eaten?"

Zhu Gaoxu, who easily lifted Zhu Zhanyan and shook it casually, asked Guo Yan, Guo Yan shook his head, and Zhu Gaoxu instructed Yisha: "Prepare lunch." ”

"Yes" Yishu should go down and make arrangements, and Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Zhu Zhanyan.

I don't know if he was stunned or what to say, he just stared around with wide eyes at the moment, and there was no sign of crying at all.

"Isn't that pretty good?"

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and handed him back into Guo Yan's arms, took Guo Yan to the couch and sat down, and poured a cup of tea.

"Recently, my grandfather has contracted a cold, and I want to take my son back to the Hou Mansion to live for a few days."

Guo Yan carefully said his thoughts, and Zhu Gaoxu, who heard that Guo Ying was sick, also stopped drinking tea and asked, "Have the doctors and imperial doctors from the hospital gone to see them?" ”

"Look at ......" Guo Yan's face was full of sadness, obviously Guo Ying's situation was not too good.

Zhu Gaoxu also thought about it when he saw her like this, it seemed that Guo Ying did die of illness this year, but he didn't know if he could survive it.

"Let's go back and see." With a sigh in his heart, Zhu Gaoxu approved Guo Yan's return to his relatives to save his family.

"By the way, Zhang Fengyi is happy."

Guo Yan nodded, and then told Zhu Gaoxu a good news.

"Zhang Fengyi?" Zhu Gaoxu looked puzzled, after all, there were several Zhang Fengyi in the East Palace.

"It's your favorite East Third Hall Zhang Fengyi." Guo Yan explained, and Zhu Gaoxu also remembered who it was after hearing it.

That Zhang Fengyi is a show girl selected by Queen Xu, tall and plump, even if she doesn't wear makeup, she is moving enough.

It is precisely because of his good looks and good figure that Zhu Gaoxu stayed in the East Third Hall many times.

If you want to say that the relationship is also a little bit, but there will always be a little greasy after staying too much, so Zhu Gaoxu has also changed his stay object in the past two months, and occasionally goes back to the dormitory to accompany Guo Yan.

"Your Highness, if you have time, you can go and see Zhang Fengyi."

Guo Yan is very generous, after all, Zhu Zhanyan is disaster-free and disease-free, and he is still the eldest child, and he can regenerate, but there is no need to be jealous of a mere Fengyi.

"I'll check it out in the evening."

Although Zhu Gaoxu does not have too rich feelings for these women, after all, he is pregnant with a child, and it is not good for him to do nothing.

When he came to this era, he had to accept some things of this era, if the prince and the emperor still invested too much affection in any woman, then Zhu Gaoxu probably didn't have much heart to deal with the government.

"Gotta go." Guo Yan hugged Zhu Zhanyan and told with a smile, and Zhu Gaoxu smiled helplessly: "You are pushing me out." ”

"The concubine is afraid that others will say that I am jealous." Guo Yan's explanation was smiling, but unconvincing.

Guo Yan is different from those women here in Zhu Gaoxu, even if she does not have the identity of Huaixi Xungui, at least she suffers with herself, and the two are considered a husband and wife in distress.

Of course, although the relationship between the two is good, it is insignificant compared to the world.

Fortunately, Guo Yan also knows it, so he basically doesn't talk about things in the temple, and he never intervenes in Zhu Gaoxu's employment, which makes Zhu Gaochu very satisfied.

"You, your mother, and your grandmother are all people who know the general situation, and the court needs such people."

Zhu Gaoxu hugged Guo Yan, but Guo Yan smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't always talk about the court, you are always like this, and the concubines always feel too official." ”

"So what am I going to say?" Zhu Gaoxu really doesn't know how to fall in love and how to maintain his feelings, so even if he stays in the harem, he will fall asleep after solving the problem, and get up and leave early the second morning.

"Your Highness can say ......" Guo Yan thought for a while, and finally smiled: "The family needs such a wife." ”

"Okay, good ......" Zhu Gaoxu nodded: "I need a wife like you in my family to make the harem peaceful." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment."

Guo Yan hugged Zhu Zhanyan and got up and saluted, but Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "You say that I am official, but it is better for you to salute every day." ”

"Although they are husband and wife, they are also monarchs and ministers." Guo Yan sat back in his seat, and then asked:

"The concubine heard that the war in the north is over, when will the father and mother come back?"

Guo Yan asked about this matter and it didn't involve the temple, after all, Queen Xu handed over the inner court to her to manage before she went north, and she knew when Queen Xu would come back, so she was ready to greet her early.

"Dad said that he would go south around September, and I guess I should rush back before Chinese New Year's Eve."

Zhu Gaoxu said, Guo Yan also seemed to remember something, and said in a low voice: "There is news from the prince's mausoleum, saying that there is a fire in Ouning Palace, fortunately it was discovered and extinguished by the people of Xichang, otherwise I am afraid that Ouning Wang will ......."

After Guo Yan opened his mouth for a while, Zhu Gaoxu's brows furrowed.

King Ouning is Zhu Biao's fifth son Zhu Yunxi (Huoxi), because he was too young when Zhu Gaoxu conquered Nanjing, so although he was implicated, he was only demoted by Zhu Di to the king of Ouning, unlike Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunxi who were deposed as concubines.

Zhu Yunxi now lives not far from Zhu Biao's mausoleum with the Lu family, and is ordered to guard Zhu Biao's mausoleum.

According to Guo Yan's words, if it weren't for the people in Ouning Palace, I'm afraid Zhu Yunxi would have been burned alive.

"Go and pass on Ji Gang and Hu Lun to see me."

Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and ordered Yishu to lose Ha, and when he heard this, he hurriedly sent someone to pass on Ji Gang and Hu Lun.

After doing this, Yi Shiha spoke: "If King Ouning is really dead, then I am afraid that it will not have a good reputation for His Highness." ”

"I know, that's why I asked the people from the West Factory to protect the three brothers." Zhu Gaoxu bowed his head, he knew very well what Zhu Biao's three surviving sons and Zhu Yunwen's sons represented.

Because Zhu Gaoxu's capture of Nanjing caused Zhu Yunwen to self-immolate, in the eyes of the world, the relationship between Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Yunwen can be said to be a feud.

If Zhu Yunxi was burned to death, and was burned to death during Zhu Gaoxu's imprisonment, then Zhu Gaoxu would not be able to wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River.

"Pass on my fatwa to move the Wushu people, Hengshu people, and Jianshu people to the Ouning Palace, and replace the people in the Ouning Palaces with the Jurchen guards of the Bohai Sea."

"Tell the brothers below that anyone who wants to be unfavorable to the descendants of Prince Yiwen is against me."

Zhu Gaoxu instructed Yishiha, and put Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi, and Zhu Wenkui in the Ouning Palace.

With the help of the Lu family in the Ouning Palace, they will not have a bad time.

Coupled with the guards of the Jurchens and the West Factory, their safety can also be guaranteed, and such a thing will not happen easily.

"Your Highness is like this, don't worry about them ...... in the future"

Yisha wanted to remind, but Zhu Gaoxu said heartily: "What am I afraid of them?" ”

"Zhu Yunwen has a million troops and has lost, what do they have?"

Zhu Gaoxu is not worried about Zhu Yunxi and their future descendants at all, and will even treat them well.

You don't see the descendants of the Jianshu and Wu Shu people, even if they live to the Jiajing period before they become heirs, Zhu Di, as the initiator, can be scolded for being bloody.

If Zhu Biao's son dies in his term, then he will probably be written hundreds of wild histories by this group of Confucian scholars.

However, not only did he not treat Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Wenkui harshly, he also had to take good care of them in the future.

The purpose of doing this is nothing else, it is to slap this group of Confucian students in the face.

When Zhu Yunwen was here, he was not a loyal and patriotic monarch, and he was going to die for the country at every turn, as if his father and son would kill Zhu Biao's descendants when they entered Beijing.

Now that Zhu Biao's descendants are living well, this group of Confucian scholars did not die for the country, but they seem to be dirty.

Zhu Gaoxu looked down on Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin, Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, Huang Huai, and Hu Yan, who agreed with Zhou Shixiu to die for Zhu Yunwen together, but except for Zhou Shixiu, the others survived with cheekiness.

If it weren't for the fact that he was not the emperor now, Zhu Gaoxu would have wanted to posthumously present Zhou Shixiu as a satirical satire on this group of sanctimonious guys.

"Your Highness, the Jinyi Guards are all in command of Ji Gang, and Muyang Bo Hulun has already arrived outside the palace......"

Suddenly, the eunuch at the door sang to the hall, and Zhu Gaoxu also squinted his eyes when he heard it: "Announce them in." ”

Today's second shift is estimated to be one o'clock in the afternoon, and the normal update time will be restored after two days.
