Most of the wealthy families in Chao County are military aristocrats.
Most of them are military families from the Hongwu Dynasty. They have developed wildly over the years and have become local giants.
Wang Cheng is not like Wang Hong, who takes Shang Fang's sword and kills everyone.
The emperor sent him to lead the army, not to break up with the nobles and drive them to death.
However, he was asked to move the refugees to Hunan and Guizhou, and these noble families controlled the refugees.
He just completed the task and there was no need to create extra complications.
Besides, he is a eunuch, what good is having so much power? What's more, he is already extremely powerful, so what else does he want?
There is no need to kill all the people in order to win the emperor's trust. He just needs to safely complete the tasks assigned by the emperor and enjoy himself in Southern Zhili.
Moreover, by sitting in Chaohu, he was also emboldening Wang Hong.
Wang Hong killed everyone in Hezhou, relying on Wang Cheng's power.
After the water bandits were eliminated, Wang Cheng visited the first family in Chao County.
The surname is Xie.
This Xie family is not simple. The uncle is Xie Da and the great-grandfather is Xie Yan.
Xie Yan was from Fengyang. He fought with Emperor Taizu and contributed to the founding of the country. His eldest son Xie Da became the consort of Princess Ruyang.
The Xie family was inconspicuous in the early Ming Dynasty when the stars were shining brightly.
But those famous generals were all executed. On the contrary, their official positions were neither high nor low, but they were preserved, and their families had a long history and became large local families.
And his branch moved here from Nanjing.
In order to win the favor of Emperor Taizu, Xie Da took the initiative to move the concubines out of the capital and filled them in various places.
Upon hearing that the great eunuch in the palace was visiting, Xie Shude opened the middle door and greeted him personally.
The news of Wang Hong's massacre in Hezhou had not yet reached Luzhou Prefecture, so he did not know Wang Cheng's purpose yet and wanted to take the opportunity to cling to Wang Cheng.
However.
As soon as they entered the main hall and before they drank the tea, Wang Cheng asked with a smile: "Our family wants to relocate the refugees in Chao County. Can Mr. Xie make it easier?"
Xie Shude's mouth twitched.
There are many benefits to controlling the refugees. For example, when paying taxes, if you don't want to pay, you can instruct the refugees to rob grain trucks;
Or, if the family is being treated unfairly, the refugees will be mobilized to rebel.
Of course, the latter is easy to get burned, so rich people don't dare to use it.
For example, there are probably tens of thousands of refugees in Chaohu, and these refugees are controlled by various noble clans. For example, the Xie family has seven to eight thousand refugees in their hands.
The family is divided into two branches, one lives openly and openly, and the other controls the refugees.
Refugees can be bandits, businessmen, or farmers. They can do anything shady.
Anyway, there is plenty of food in southern Zhili. It is not difficult to support thousands of refugees. The most important thing is to pay a little less tax and then get back the tax paid.
Xie Shude's eyes twitched: "Sir, what do you mean by this? If the court relocates the refugees, it will be a great thing for our family. We all support it with both hands."
"Really agree?"
Wang Cheng smiled and said: "Thank you, Master, our family is not kidding you!"
"Of course……"
Wang Cheng interrupted Xie Shude: "Okay, our family will personally sit in your house and watch the refugees being loaded onto the boat. If the refugees resist the officers and soldiers, and one of our soldiers dies, we will select someone from your Xie family. Kill!"
"ah?"
Xie Shude exclaimed: "Sir, those refugees look like bandits and thieves. They kill officers and soldiers. What do they have to do with my Xie family?"
"If Mingren doesn't tell secrets, why do you have to go around in circles with our family?"
Wang Cheng preferred to serve the emperor in the palace rather than come down to work. He was over sixty years old and a eunuch. There was no tomorrow and he just wanted to enjoy the rest of his life.
However, the emperor had his orders, and he did not dare to disobey.
Therefore, he didn't want to kill them all, he wanted to accumulate more virtues for himself, so that he would be reborn as a good child in his next life and not become a eunuch.
Xie Shude looked at Wang Cheng carefully.
"What? Do you still want to kill our family?"
Wang Cheng sneered: "Listen to the name of our family. Hum, although our family is the chief soldier, they are also the eunuchs in the palace. They are the eunuchs who grew up with the emperor. Do you know the status of our family in the heart of the emperor? ?”
Plop!
Xie Shude immediately knelt on the ground: "Sir, the Xie family is willing to bow to you. You are the god of the Xie family. Whatever you say, the Xie family will do."
Wang Cheng was very satisfied with Xie Shude's attitude: "Our family doesn't want to use weapons rashly, and we know what you want? Well, just pick out a smart person from your family and follow our family."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your kindness!"
Xie Shude kowtowed solemnly. Being able to follow Wang Cheng would be more useful than doubling the family fortune.
As he said this, a servant brought a brocade box into the hall.
After Xie Shude opened it, he held his hands above his head and knelt on the ground: "Please accept it!"
Wang Cheng squinted and saw that there were about thirty banknotes, amounting to more than three hundred thousand taels.
This Xie Shude is really smart.
Between power and money, he decisively chose power.
In the face of power, money is of no use.
"It's a good thing. Just follow us." Wang Cheng asked someone to collect the check.
Wang Cheng seeks wealth.
Wang Hong asked for an official position.
Therefore, the attitude towards doing things is completely different.
And in Hanshan, Hezhou.
The news of Wang Hong's massacre in He County spread, and Wang Hong gained the reputation of being beheaded by the king.
The king beheaded, and the king cruelly punished his officials.
Notoriety followed Wang Hong.
At this moment, Wang Hong was at the home of a wealthy family in Hanshan.
The surname of a wealthy family in Hanshan was Zhang, and this family was also related to the nobles.
Wang Hong just said two words: "Do you have a shelter? Are you willing to release the refugees?"
The Zhang family was afraid of being beheaded by the king, so they obediently admitted it.
Wang Hong directly ordered his clan to split up and flow into Guangxi, Guizhou, and Hunan.
Wang Hong became more and more skilled at doing things.
In the past, officials talked about the rules and kept a line in everything. Compared with the current situation of being vigorous and resolute and killing whenever they want, it is really good.
After Wang Hong finished his affairs with the state, he went south to Taiping Mansion.
Zhang Feng sent people to immigrate to Hezhou.
He gathered together shipwrights and other craftsmen, as well as available veterans, and flowed them all into Qingyuan Mansion in Guizhou (formerly Guangxi) and handed them over to Li Kuang.
In order to eliminate their resistance to the court, Zhang Feng issued them citizenship and promised to allot them local land. They did not have to join the army if they did not want to join the army, and it was entirely voluntary.
Just now, with coaxing and deception, the refugees from Hezhou were put on the boat.
The first batch of refugees has arrived in Hunan.
Han Yong was cleaning up Western Hunan, and many Miao villages in Western Hunan did not surrender to the Ming Dynasty. When he received Zhang Feng's letter, the first batch of refugees had already arrived in Changsha.
He hurriedly ordered the first batch of refugees to be transported to Hengzhou Prefecture.
He has already plowed Hengzhou Prefecture.
He captured the chieftain bandits in the capital and is now opening up the road from southern Hunan to northern Hunan.
He ordered the first batch of refugees to be resettled in Hengyang, Leiyang, and Guiyang. They would allocate more acres of land. One person would be given land to three people. Women and children would also be given land, and boys and girls would be given land equally.
Han Yong's instructions were written in more than ten pages, detailing how to distribute the refugees, especially seeds and farm tools, and everyone should not be left without them.
The houses are built with the help of the government, and the money is provided by the central government. You are not allowed to ask for a needle or a thread from the people. Anyone who takes it without permission will be punished with a felony.
He couldn't move away and it was very difficult to clean the Miao village.
As soon as he gave the order, the second batch of refugees arrived.
All 170,000 refugees sent from Yingtian Mansion were sent to Hunan.
Han Yong had to withdraw from western Hunan and resettle 170,000 refugees. This was not something that local officials could do. He had to do it himself.
When he left Xiangxi, he sighed. He had been preparing for the battle in Xiangxi for half a year, winning consecutive battles, and was only half a year away from being completely cleansed. But now he had to give up the campaign.
He rushed to Hengzhou Mansion without stopping and sat in Leiyang.
According to his estimate, of the 170,000 refugees, 70,000 will be resettled in Hengzhou Prefecture, 30,000 in Binzhou Prefecture, and 70,000 in Yongzhou Prefecture.
And all the cleared native women were married to refugees.
The obedient natives were allocated large amounts of land just like the Han people.
Southern Hunan and western Hunan were mostly populated by native people and were not subordinate to the Ming Dynasty. To completely transform the land into Han Dynasty, a dual approach of war and appeasement was needed.
The most important thing is to build roads and immigrate. Over time, it will naturally become Han territory.
Just as Han Yong was in charge of Leiyang, news came from South Zhili that there were still 170,000 refugees who were ready to be resettled in Hunan.
Han Yong was stunned. He had written to Wang Cheng many times before, but Wang Cheng ignored him, obviously not wanting to give the people of the five prefectures of South Zhili to Hunan.
Why are you so generous this time?
After getting to know more, I found out that it was the emperor who issued the decree in the Central Committee, ordering southern Zhili to give priority to immigrants from Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangdong.
So it was easy to hit Han Yong on the head.
Han Yong kept a register of all the refugees, learned about their skills and abilities in detail, and even proposed conscription. As a result, the refugees were all afraid of conscription.
He immediately gave up the idea, which frightened the refugees, easily triggered a rebellion, and ruined the good situation.
Of the 170,000 newly arrived refugees, he planned to place 30,000 in the southern part of Baoqing Prefecture, 20,000 in Jingzhou Prefecture, 30,000 in the northern part of Liuzhou Prefecture, and the remaining 90,000 in Chenzhou Prefecture.
At the same time, Li Kuang, governor of Nansan Prefecture in Guizhou, received more than a thousand shipwrights and more than a thousand old soldiers.
But none of them were willing to serve the court.
Although Li Kuang was angry, he still followed public opinion and placed them in Qingyuan Mansion, Guizhou, and allowed them to work in the shipbuilding base.
As soon as he completed the resettlement, he received a personal letter from Wang Cheng and was transporting 70,000 refugees to Nansan Prefecture in Guizhou.
The chief envoy of Guangdong, Xue Yuan and Hou Chen, were also accepting refugees from southern Zhili.
Wang Cheng gave a total of 440,000 refugees to Guangdong.
Most of them were placed in Wuzhou Prefecture and Pingle Prefecture, which were newly merged into Guangdong, as well as Chaozhou Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture, which are close to Fujian. Shaozhou Prefecture and Zhaoqing Prefecture received relatively few.
Xiang Wenyao, the governor of Guizhou, also received immigrants from Wang Cheng.
There are not many refugees going to Guizhou, less than 100,000, because there are really few places for resettlement in Guizhou.
But Xiang Wenyao was not a genius in leading the army, and it was almost impossible to plow down Guizhou.
More than one million refugees in the five prefectures of South Zhili were quickly transported away, and Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Immigration is not an easy job!
Even resettling refugees is accompanied by bloodshed.
It’s not like the government just ordered the refugees to board the boat obediently.
Instead, all the refugees were tied up with ropes, like criminals, and soldiers were sent to escort them onto the boat. Those who were disobedient were killed directly.
There is no cure for illness, so everything is left to fate.
We also need to be on guard against epidemics. If there is a plague, the whole ship and the people on it will sink into the river.
If a plague breaks out on the shore, they will all be buried without mercy.
As for the number of nonsense things that happened during the immigration process, there is no need to go into details. The amount is outrageous.
Immigration is a bloody bad thing.
Wang Cheng cleared out 1.64 million refugees from the five prefectures.
Only 1.2 million people have arrived safely.
More than 400,000 people died due to various reasons.
These will not be recorded, only how many people were accepted and how many people were resettled will be recorded. These will become the officials' achievements, recorded one by one.
Wang Cheng relocated the refugees with gentle methods and did not go on a killing spree. Instead, he gained a good reputation.
Let’s look at Wang Hong again. He had the reputation of beheading the king, and he went on a killing spree in Hezhou, Taiping Mansion, and Ningguo Mansion, killing heads everywhere.
A total of more than 400,000 refugees were cleared out.
All these people were sent to Guangxi.
Guangxi is like a sponge, it can accommodate any number of people. After all, there is still Annan to accommodate, but there is a shortage of Han people.
Zhang Feng and Li Zhen are settling in.
And in the capital.
Officials from the capital were also immigrating to the northwest.
In the first half of the year, clans were immigrated, and in the second half of the year, ordinary people were immigrated to fill Gansu's population.
Those removed from Beizhili are not refugees, but they are all black households.
The emperor ordered a cleanup, and nearly a million illegal households were found.
Most of these illegal households were transferred to Ningxia and Gansu.
And in the Yangxin Hall.
Zhu Qiyu was giving an imperial edict to Yang Xuan: "He is doing well in Southern Zhili."
"I don't dare to claim credit." Yang Xuan kowtowed, surprise flashing in his eyebrows.
A total of 13,000 sea-going ships and more than 40,000 river-going ships were raised from the homes of criminal officials in Nanzhili.
These river boats were used to transport refugees and escort money to Beijing.
"Wang Fu is transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and you will be the governor of Shuntian Prefecture."
Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "I want to tell you a few words. You are mine and your heart should be towards me."
Yang Xuan's face froze with joy and she quickly kowtowed.
"Second sentence, no one is allowed to leak the incident about the Nanzhili ship, and it will be treated as if it never happened."
"I obey the decree!" Yang Xuan kowtowed.
"You are a smart person, I believe you understand the truth."
Zhu Qiyu sent him away.
Yang Xuan, the former governor of Yingtian Prefecture, was promoted to the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Wang Fu, the former governor of Shuntian Prefecture, was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The imperial edict is issued, the cabinet seals it, and it is promulgated to the world.
Zhu Qiyu put down the memorial and walked to the map: "Feng Xiao, do you think two princes must be released in Southern Zhili?"
Feng Xiao was startled: "Your Majesty, the matter in Southern Zhili is too big to be settled in Beijing."
The implication is that you must visit Nanjing before you can make a decision.
"How many soldiers does Yang Xin have in Jiangxi?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.
"Back to your lord, according to the latest report, there are 110,000."
Zhu Qiyu pointed at the map: "Jiangxi Yang Xin is on the left, Shandong Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong are on the north, Wang Cheng and Ou Xin are on the west, Ren Li is on Zhongdu, Hu Xi is on the south, Song Wei and Li Zhen are both my minions. !”
"I have millions of soldiers in my hand!"
"Are you still afraid of a mere gentry?"
"If Wang Hong doesn't kill hard enough, don't worry about the situation getting out of hand. I will personally clean up the mess for him!"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Tell him to just kill him."
"Let the cabinet department prepare. I don't like the winter and spring in the north. Next spring, I want to visit the south of Zhili to see the spring scenery of Nanjing."
Feng Xiao's eyelids twitched: "Your Majesty, is it too early?"
Today is a critical period for reform.
As soon as the emperor went to South Zhili, he immediately blew up the gunpowder cans. There was no room for maneuver at all, and they were bound to fight each other.
By then the center will definitely be unstable, if someone comes to Beijing to welcome the Japanese king!
The problem is huge.
When the emperor returns to Beijing to clean up the mess, all reforms may be forced to stop.
It will take at least a few years to pick it up again. Will the emperor still have this energy by then? If the famous generals and ministers in the DPRK are withered, can they still support the reform?
"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. If Nanzhili doesn't clean it up, I won't be able to sleep peacefully for a day."
Zhu Qiyu said: "It is a waste of time to let the two famous generals of the Ming Dynasty guard the center for me. I can wait, but how old are Yu Qian and Fan Guang? How many more years can they fight for the court?"
"We must go to Nanzhili, so we might as well go now."
"I have two million soldiers in my hand, who dares to kill me?"
This is Zhu Qiyu's greatest confidence.
All those in charge of military affairs in the world are his confidants. If the Japanese king is restored, his minions will surely end badly and will have no choice but to support him.
Besides, would he not guard against Zhu Qizhen?
"Your Majesty!" Feng Xiao glanced in the direction of Nangong.
Zhu Qiyu curled his lips and smiled: "I am considering whether to open an imperial temple and invite him on the road? He is no longer useful!"
In the past, Zhu Qizhen was needed to stabilize the situation for him.
But no more.
Just kill them directly.
Plop!
Feng Xiao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, if you take action, the good situation will fall apart in an instant!"
"He doesn't have that much energy yet!"
But Feng Xiao didn't see it that way.
Nowadays, a delicate balance has been formed in the central place and the palace. It is this balance that can alleviate conflicts and work together to work together.
Only when the central political environment is relaxed can local governments do practical things.
If all officials are in danger and think about how to stand in line every day, who can do their job with peace of mind?
All the officials in the court have selectively forgotten Zhu Qizhen. If at this time, the emperor opened an ancestral temple and killed Zhu Qizhen, what bad political impact would it have?
The courtiers were in danger and the New Deal came to an abrupt end.
All the hard work was wasted.
But Zhu Qiyu doesn't think so. He believes that people's hearts tend to be beneficial. As long as he can provide a more comfortable political environment for all vested interests, these people will work hard for him.
It has nothing to do with Zhu Qizhen's life or death.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand government affairs. Please ask the old master and Duke Xing to make a decision." Feng Xiao kowtowed.
Let them say it, they will definitely not agree.
No matter what, Zhu Qizhen was an emperor. If a minister encourages the emperor to kill the king, he is a sycophant!
How could a loyal minister do such a thing?
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Okay, it's just a small matter. Are you like this? At worst, we will take him to Jiangnan, and others may disappear."
Feng Xiao was shocked.
You are worried about locking him up in Nangong. How can you take him to Jiangnan?
It will definitely be lost!
This loss is the same as when Emperor Jianwen lost it. Emperor Taizong searched hard for it for how many years.
If Zhu Qizhen is lost, the political impact will be worse than killing him!
Just talking.
Annan's report was sent into the palace. Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Go and announce all the courtiers."
soon.
When the courtiers entered the Yangxin Hall, they also received the transcript of Annan's memorial.
"Your Majesty, how dare the powerful official of Annan kill you?" Yao Kui was so angry that his eyes widened in anger.
This is an urgent report sent by Bian Yong.
Annan King Li Sicheng was addicted to drugs and was drowsy, unable to handle government affairs. Government affairs were handed over to the Annan Government Affairs Council.
On the first day of July, he falsely claimed that he was seriously ill. However, he planted a knife and ax in the palace to kill the powerful ministers and regain the power.
The powerful minister Ruan Chi was seriously injured, and Ding Lie concealed his sword and killed Li Sicheng, the king of Annan.
Cut off Li Sicheng's head with his own hands.
Now the situation in Hanoi has deteriorated further.
Bian Yong wrote in the letter that due to the rainy season, the roads in Annan were muddy and difficult to walk. He could not contact Fang Ying and Xia Xun at all, and could not make a decision. He could only send letters by sea and seek instructions from the central government.
The last few sentences of the letter are that Annan's powerful ministers are deciding who should be welcomed as emperor.
"The situation in Annan is like a raging fire."
Zhu Qiyu pondered and said: "But the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and the nearest Fang Ying is unable to contact Bian Yong due to road constraints."
"Even if the central government comes up with a countermeasure and sends it to Annan, I'm afraid it will be of no use."
"The situation is changing rapidly, so let Bian Yong take it one step at a time."
Since you don't want to take care of it, why are you ordering us to do it?
Yu Qian had just recovered from a serious illness, his face was still a little pale, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, Bian Yong's intention is actually to ask, is the central government willing to control the situation in Annan?"
"I'm not interested. I'll either take actual control or ignore it." Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to be the emperor of the Celestial Kingdom, he just wanted to be Genghis Khan.
Yu Qian nodded: "It is also a good thing that the country can take the opportunity to take control of northern Annan."
"It's easy to conquer, but difficult to control." Geng Jiuchou was not optimistic.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and did not want to discuss it: "My lords, just leave the affairs of Annan to Fang Ying, Xia Xun, and Bian Yong, and the central government should ignore it."
"I'm calling you all here for two main things."
"The first is the northwest issue. Shu Liang, Kou Shen, and Yuan Jie gave me memorials, saying that the climate was bad, the construction speed was slow, and the food supply was unsustainable."
"Yuan Jie means to keep things as they are for the time being and wait until the three treasures of corn are successfully cultivated before immigrating again."
Zhu Qiyu said that he asked people to find out the secret memorial and show it to the courtiers.
"Kou Shen is building Gansu. Gansu has accommodated people from the west. These people look a little different from us. Kou Shen said that walking on the road to Gansu feels like being in the Western Regions, not the Ming Dynasty."
"The ecology of Gansu is weak and cannot support too many people. I have already ordered some immigrants from Beizhili and Shanxi to come over. Too many people will not be able to support them."
"The Cabinet should stop immigrating to Gansu and Ningxia."
"Move to Rehe and Liaoning."
The courtiers read each one, wondering, what is the deep meaning of the emperor's words?
Hu Hui solved the mystery: "Your Majesty, are you attracted to Hami?"
Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "I really can't hide anything from the old master. Gansu is barren, but Hami is not barren."
"We can move the population to Hami."
"Hami is so weak, it would be a pity if the Ming Dynasty does not accept it."
What about the Hami people?
The courtier didn't ask, he already knew what was going on.
You plan to use it to repair Chi Road.
"Hami is a small and wealthy country, and there is no major war this year, but the court has more than two million soldiers. How can it be done without a war?"
Zhu Qiyu said: "I plan to ask the old general Chen You to lead the troops to regain Hami!"
This is what Zhu Qiyu promised him.
Let him regain his hometown and ennoble him with his hometown land.
The courtiers neither objected nor approved.
All fell into deep thought.
"How far will your Majesty fight?" Hu Hu asked.
"Annex the country and turn it into Han territory."
Hu Xi rolled his eyes, was this what he was asking? The question is how to resettle the people?
Hami is a weak country. If you give Chen You 30,000 cavalry, you can recover Hami in three months.
If they also accept their people, then by the end of the year, they will be able to capture all the land of Hami. Presumably Hami will not resist much and will surrender.
If the emperor wanted to turn the Hami people into slaves, it would take at least three years, and the Ming Dynasty would be doubly unpopular.
"hey-hey."
Zhu Qiyu laughed dryly: "I am also a benevolent monarch, and the people of Hami are human beings too."
"But Kou Shen said, they look different from us!"
Hu Xi rolled his eyes, can you please stop blaming Kou Shen?
There is no such sentence in Kou Shen's secret memorial!
The courtiers have all seen it and are sure it’s not there!
"The ancients said that people with the same appearance are of the same clan. Even if there are slight deviations, they can still be regarded as the same clan."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "But if they look very different, how can we force them to belong to the same clan?"
The only people who look similar to the Han people are the Koreans, Japanese people, and even the Annan people, who look different from the Ming people.
Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, all those who speak Chinese are Chinese!"
"Look at General Chen You. He is from the Western Regions. His appearance is indeed different from ours, but can you say that he is not Han?"
"Your Majesty, do you know how Emperor Taizu conquered the world?"
Zhu Qiyu really knows.
Emperor Taizu relied on the Mongols to conquer the world.
Kublai Khan relied on Han Shihou to conquer the world, and Ming Taizu relied on Mongol households to conquer the world.
"How many naturalized Mongolians are there in the country? How many naturalized aliens are there?" Yu Qian asked again.
very many.
Chen You, Mao Zhong, Mao Sheng, etc., from the Hongwu Dynasty to the present, more foreign races have been granted titles.
"How many foreign races are there in the Imperial Temple and Wenwu Temple you built?"
very many.
The Sixteen Kingdoms of Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties were all here.
"But these people are all working for China!"
Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, those who can speak Chinese are Han nationality."
"No matter what sect he believes in, no matter where he comes from, no matter what nationality he is, as long as he can speak Chinese, he is Han! There is no dispute!"
"You have always imitated Genghis Khan and wanted to be an emperor like Genghis Khan."
"You know, Genghis Khan valued talents from all ethnic groups, had a broad mind, and used talents in an eclectic way, so that he could achieve the foundation of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty."
"And if you look at ethnic groups, how many elites in the world will become your opponents?"
Yu Qian knelt on the ground and said with great seriousness: "Your Majesty, horses with thousands of miles of horses are always there, but bole are not always there. The small countries of Hami and Annan that you look down on also have talents, but their monarchs will not reuse talents."
"If you don't stick to one, use them, and treat them as the same kind, they will die exhausted for their great achievements!"
Yu Qian said again: "On the contrary, if you abandon it like a shoe and want to destroy its ethnic group and destroy its ancestral line, even if the Ming Dynasty temporarily occupies its land, when the Ming Dynasty weakens, those heroes will lead troops to oppose the Ming Dynasty. It will eventually shrink back to Han Dynasty."
"We in China have today's Han provinces. We have to be inclusive and transform all ethnic groups into Han people. Only then can we have today's country, today's land, and today's people!"
"A humble minister said something disrespectful. Not all the kings of future generations may be as wise as you. After the glory of the Ming Dynasty, it will inevitably go downhill. Please consider the kings of future generations!"
This is very disrespectful.
Many people winked at Yu Qian and refused to let him say such disrespectful words.
However, Zhu Qiyu personally helped him up: "Xing Guogong is right. Only by using talents in an eclectic way can the Ming Dynasty prosper."
"From the perspective of ethnic groups, the pattern is too small and the road is narrowed."
"As long as there are capable people, regardless of ethnicity, I will use them all."
But what about Datang?
The Tang Dynasty reused foreign tribes, but in the end they were divided by the foreign tribes.
In the final analysis, the goal is to transform the alien race into Han Chinese, and we must not create a second ethnic group, absolutely not!
Yu Qian knelt on the ground again: "Your Majesty is wise."
"As long as the person is capable and willing to work for the Ming Dynasty, he is a Ming person."
"As long as he marries an Mingren wife, after a few generations, he will become just like an Mingren."
The great Ming Dynasty scholars and officials all have the desire to save all people in the world.
Even if they are old black people, they don't discriminate.
Zhu Qiyu said: "I like to use capable people, but the question is, should those useless common people be used in the right place?"
"You also said, make the best use of everything and make the best use of people."
"They are eating free rice. How wasteful it is? Use it in the right place and devote your life to the construction of Ming Dynasty. How wonderful!"
Yu Qian rolled his eyes, my advice was in vain, right?
Talented people are all made by ordinary people through experience. How can anyone be born talented?
"His Majesty!"
Hu Hui said: "Everything that goes too far is not enough."
"You can give the newly merged people to the Ming Dynasty a period of time, such as three years, to learn Chinese. Those who cannot speak Chinese will be slaves."
"And in these three years, they were made to do corvee service and pay taxes, but they were not treated like the common people in the Han Dynasty."
"As long as you learn Chinese, you can enjoy treatment like Han people."
To put it bluntly, this is the stuff of third-class citizens.
Meng Yuan was ruined, and Ming couldn't understand it either.
This kind of class nature is undesirable and will sooner or later be the source of trouble.
Zhu Qiyu was unwilling to argue.
In terms of government affairs, vision, and ability, he is not as good as Hu Hui, Yu Qian, and Geng Jiuchou, but he has seen the results of history, and he knows the shortcomings of many things.
The citizens of Hami can barely treat it this way, because Hami was once part of the Ming Dynasty, but when they go to Europe, will they still let the white-skinned pig live?
"What the old master said is true."
Zhu Qiyu added a caveat: "But the central government has issued an order that those who cannot speak Chinese will be slaves."
Before you can speak Chinese, you can become a slave.
In other words, aristocratic families are allowed to go to Hami to plunder slaves. After they learn Chinese, they can serve the people.
As for whether the gentry allowed people to speak Chinese, the central government had nothing to do with it.
Yu Qian felt that his persuasion was in vain.
The emperor apparently listened, and indeed made the people of Hami become the people of Ming Dynasty.
However, nobles were also allowed to hunt slaves.
"Han'er will never be a slave, this sentence will never change!"
"Okay, let's end the discussion here."
The emperor was determined: "Immediately issue an order for Chen You to lead the troops, assisted by Kou Shen, to recapture Hami!"
"Your Majesty, I think the Gansu troops cannot be reused, so we can mobilize troops from Ningxia." Geng Jiuchou suggested.
"I will transfer 30,000 cavalry from Ningxia and put them under the command of Chen You. Before winter, I want to see the surrender of King Hami!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "After Hami was recovered, Hami was merged into Gansu and divided into two prefectures, one was Anxi Prefecture and the other was Dunhuang Prefecture."
Attacking a small country like Hami is not a difficult task for today's Ming Dynasty.
What's more, there is endless civil strife in Hami.
With famous generals and ministers like Chen You and Kou Shen, retaking Hami is just a piece of cake.
"The second thing."
"Xiang Zhong has received more than 10,000 sea ships."
"I want to order Xiang Zhong to clean up the pirates in Shandong, especially all pirates in the Bohai Sea!"
The courtier was stunned.
The emperor actually built so many ships?
Moreover, if the emperor wants to go to sea to kill pirates, where will the navy come from? When did you practice?
"To be fair, I ordered Xiang Zhong to train a navy offshore at the beginning of the year, with a manpower of about 2,000."
Then you can't control more than 10,000 sea ships?
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "My lords, some of your family members still don't know about it, right?"
"Do you still remember Liang Yue? How long has he disappeared?"
"Last year, I ordered Liang Yue to build a shipyard in Fuzhou, Liaoning, to train the navy. Now it has begun to take shape. The navy has not many manpower, but there are still five thousand people."
"Including Xiang Zhong's 2,000 men, the total is 7,000 men, who can go out to sea to hunt for pirates!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "The pirates can also be killed and surrendered, and incorporated into the navy."
"I am speaking out today to tell you that I want to give the navy a title."
"The navy under Xiang Zhong is the Jing Navy, with an actual quota of 30,000 and 2,000 ships! Xiang Zhong also serves as the commander-in-chief of the Jing Navy."
"Liang Yue's navy is the Bohai Sea Division, with an actual strength of 50,000 men and 4,000 ships. Liang Yue also serves as the chief soldier of the Bohai Sea Division."
The navy must be changed to the navy.
Xiang Zhong and Liang Yue were both commanders of other armies. It was obvious that the emperor regarded these two as his confidants.
The courtiers understood that the emperor's proposal today was to tell the cabinet to draw up military numbers and distribute equipment.
Because the artillery needed for the ship was too eye-catching, the emperor had to make it known to the public, otherwise the artillery could not be transported out of the capital.
But Yu Qian was thinking that something big must have happened to Jinghai when the emperor revealed the navy ahead of time and was so eager.
Emperor Jinghai had two factors. One was to prevent pirates from coming ashore and harming the people, and the other was to expand the navy's strength.
The emperor was eager to expand his army...
This is to visit southern Zhili!
Nowadays, Nanzhili is constantly transporting money to the capital, which is all about extorting money from officials and gentry. These gentry are bound to be far away and will not give money honestly.
Moreover, the political purpose is even more important.
The emperor was eager to visit Nanjing and also wanted to open the sea.
But why didn't he wait?
When the political situation is stable, at least until the three provinces of Jiangxi, Shandong, and Henan are plowed and the armies of the three provinces can rush to support Southern Zhili at any time, how good would it be for the emperor to visit Southern Zhili again?
What is the emperor anxious about?
Yu Qian didn't know that the emperor was worried about his death.
Not everyone is a famous general.
If Yu Qian dies, there will be no more Yu Qian in the future. How many years will it take to wait for the next famous general Qi Jiguang!
The emperor didn't dare to wait. He waited and waited. There were no famous generals available in the court. Where could the Mongolian and Yuan territory come from? Relying on conjecture?
Therefore, he is eager to regain Hami. If he regains Hami quickly, he will also regain Turpan.
Discuss in the court.
And Chen Wuyang was in the Duke Dingguo's mansion.
"I am a loyal minister, I am a loyal minister..." Xu Yongning, Duke of Dingguo, kept mumbling.
Chen Wuyang said, "Ding Guo Gong, stop pretending. There are only you and me here. Why are you pretending to be loyal ministers? Who are you listening to?"
"I am a loyal minister, I am a loyal minister..." Xu Yongning was still mumbling.
Chen Wuyang sneered: "As a loyal minister, what's going on with your family's acres? How many acres in Xu Bancheng and the entire Southern Zhili are affiliated with your Duke Dingguo's mansion?"
Xu Yongning pursed his lips and continued talking.
"Why do you, a loyal minister, get involved in maritime trade? How much money have you made at sea?"
"Why do you, such a loyal minister, feed the refugees?"
Chen Wuyang said with a smile: "Also, your concubine's family is not simple. Her family is domineering in Hezhou, and she regards Hezhou as your family?"
Plop!
Xu Yongning fell off the chair.
However, the Duke's mansion was deserted, with no servants to serve the Duke.
Xu Yongning raised his head and said in horror: "I want to see your Majesty, I want to see your Majesty!"
"Use your pig brain!"
Chen Wuyang nodded his forehead: "If this thing doesn't move, it will die!"
"Will the Emperor see you?"
"You have done many evil things in Nanzhili. Aren't you afraid of dirtying the emperor's holy eyes?"
As he spoke, he poked his forehead.
"I didn't, I didn't."
Xu Yongning shed tears: "I am a loyal minister, I am a loyal minister!"
Chen Wuyang sneered: "You are more shameless than Duke Wei!"
"At least Wei Guogong didn't say that he was a loyal minister!"
"Instead you flaunt yourself as a loyal minister!"
"Where's the face?"
Chen Wuyang slapped him hard on the face: "I am ashamed of you!"
Xu Yongning solemnly appointed the Duke of Guo, crying non-stop: "It's all done by my family, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Then do you know?" Chen Wuyang asked.
Xu Yongning stopped talking.
"It is also a crime to not report something when you know it!" Chen Wuyang told him.
"But, all the jailers are here to investigate. I'll accuse you of everything. My Dingguo government is willing to plead guilty and pay the confession fee!"
Chen Wuyang sneered: "Can a little money explain your sin?"
"You are the Duke of the country, but you are raising refugees. What are you going to do?"
Xu Yongning shook his head wildly and cried: "I didn't raise him, he didn't belong to my family!"
"Then the Mei family is your in-laws from the Xu family?"
Chen Wuyang asked: "How many refugees does his family support in Hezhou?"
"Hezhou is so close to Nanzhili. Are you, Duke Ding, no longer satisfied with being a Duke, but want to usurp the throne?"
Xu Yongning kept shaking his head: "It's all his family's business, I don't know anything!"
"If you say you don't know, who will believe you?"
Chen Wuyang patted Xu Yongning's cheek, and patted it hard with both hands. His mouth pouted, and then he let go, leaving two fingerprints on his face.
Xu Yongning felt no pain, and murmured to himself: "I am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, a loyal minister..."
Snapped!
Chen Wuyang slapped him hard on the cheek and squeezed him into a ball: "Repay your damn loyal minister? I'm ashamed of you! Is there such a loyal minister as you?"
"snort!"
"I have already sent your charges to the center."
"At this time, the emperor should have seen it. Waiting for the trial, Duke Dingguo!"
Chen Wuyang released him hard.
Xu Yongning's body went limp, his cheeks hurt sharply, he leaned on the chair and cried loudly.
Chen Wuyang also squatted down and lowered his voice: "Mr. Dingguo, are you the one behind the Yin family? The injury on my body has the greatest relationship with you. Do you think I should seek revenge from you?"
Xu Yongning looked at him in horror and lost his voice: "I have been persuading Duke Wei, but he doesn't listen to my persuasion!"
He directly sold Wei Guogong.
"Wei Guogong?"
Xu Yongning kept nodding: "It's him. The Yin family must give 50% of his family's filial piety every year. Even my family works with Wei Guogong's family!"
That's what I want.
Chen Wuyang stared at him: "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's all true, it's all true!"
"write down!"
Xu Yongning didn’t want to write.
Just write it down and there will be evidence.
If it was submitted to the central government, he would not be able to escape the blame.
Chen Wuyang held his chin and raised his cheeks hard: "Why am I so careless and wasting my time on you?"
"Dong Guo, do you want to go to the Imperial Prison of Beijing? Ah?"
"I'll give you a chance, write it down, don't be disobedient!"
Xu Yongning still wrote it down.
Sign and stamp.
Chen Wuyang kicked the note and left with satisfaction.
But Xu Yongning, who was sitting on the ground crying, had a cunning look in his eyes.
Chen Wuyang rode a fast horse to the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong was also troubled by Chen Wuyang, an uninvited guest.
"Dong Guo Ding is spitting blood!"
"The Yin family is supported by Princess Hanshan, so what does my family mean?"
"How could the Yin family give my family 50 % of her filial piety?"
Xu Chengzong is about to vomit blood.
This is to break the fortune again.
Chen Wuyang came for money for the emperor. His family had paid the conviction silver, with a total amount of 9 million.
The emperor was not satisfied, and he had to knock the bone and absorb the marrow?
"No?" Chen Wuyang asked.
Xu Chengzong shook his head hard, there was absolutely no one point.
Snapped!
Chen Wuyang slapped hard, fanning on Xu Chengzong's face.
Xu Yan, who served Xu Chengzong, was startled and pointed at Chen Wuyang: "Why should I beat my father?"
"You dog cub, then point to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu breaks your fingers!"
Chen Wuyang was too lazy to ignore him, watching Xu Chengzong fiercely: "The Yin family enters the gold, but I will give you five % of the filial piety. How much money should you have!"
"Lao Tzu finally gives you a chance, hand it out!"
Xu Chengzong understood that this was the meter of Xu Yongning's disaster, and he used money to seduce Chen Wuyang to extort him Wei Guogong.
So, Xu Yongning's strategy is successful?
"Adult, my family has really confiscated it!"
Snapped!
Chen Wuyang slapped another slap, fanning on Xu Chengzong's face: "Isn't your mother's pastime Lao Tzu?"
"What about you?"
"Lao Tzu has long been out of life, Lao Tzu doesn't want to live anymore, for fear of a shit country?"
Chen Wuyang felt his slap, his hands hurt.
Take a teapot and rush over.
Xu Chengzong was startled: "Master, you hit it, I will be dead!"
"What you want is your dog life!"
Snap!
The porcelain was broken, and the blood flowed from Xu Chengzong's forehead and dripped on the ground.
Xu Chengzong shook and fell to the ground.
Xu Yan exclaimed, let people go to the doctor.
"No one is allowed to leave the house!" Chen Wuyang drank.
With so many silver, you do n’t give it to the center.
Chen Wuyang was estimated that if Xu Yongning said, Xu Chengzong would pay about 50 million silver.
Because it is double that pays the profit amount.
Regardless of whether he is true or false, the money must be released by Wei Guo's government.
He knows very well.
He did so many ridiculous things in Nan Zhili, but the emperor did not make an intention to blame him, indicating that what he did was the right thing.
The more he was angry, the safer he was.
At the same time, he must continue to make money for the center. The more money, the higher his official position. This is the mission of Fanzi.
"Adult, after all, my father is the father -in -law. If there is a three -long and two shorts, you don't think about yourself, and you have to think about your uncle?" Xu Yan Li said.
Chen Wuyang laughed: "He is dead, you will inherit the Duke of Wei Guo.
Xu Yan was shocked: "How can students be used with animals?"
"Do you care about Lao Tzu called a beast?"
Chen Wuyang went to find a teapot and wanted to give Xu Yan all of a sudden.
Xu Yan looked at him humblely.
"You are a little bit, have you kicked by a donkey?"
Chen Wuyang said viciously: "He died, Lao Tzu commented, your fisherman was profitable, why don't you want to?"
"Lao Tzu is kicked by your dad!"
My father is a donkey?
"He in your mouth is the father of the student. If he gets his father's father and gets the position of the country, the student would rather not!" Xu Yan said true.
"Then don't you want it! Lao Tzu will kill you today!"
Chen Wuyang is crazy.
Xu Chengzong, who pretended to be dead, secretly opened his eyelids and found that Chen Wuyang was really looking for things and wanted to kill Xu Yan.
He immediately closed his eyes. Anyway, his son had many, and his son was stronger than himself?
However.
Chen Wuyang suddenly laughed and walked to the door: "Xu Yan smashed his father's father, but the beast is not as good as!"
The voice boss.
He not only shouted himself, but also asked Fanzi to shout.
Xu Yan was not sad and unhappy. Chen Wuyang's reputation was stinky. Who would listen to him?
On the contrary, the more he abuses himself, the better his reputation!
Smart Xu Xun found that his father was fine at all. His blood was no longer flowing, and his skin was injured.
He couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. His father, politics was too immature, and he didn't even have a three -year -old child. If he had any ideas, he couldn't wait to write on his face.
Chen Wuyang made a noise for a while and had nothing to gain.
I feel weak.
However, there was a son who ran in quickly: "Adult, something happened!"
"Didn't you see his official busy? What is he shy?" Chen Wuyang was very upset.
Fanzi hurriedly lowered his voice: "Only the news came from the guardian government, and the criminals of the Kou had broken the Songjiang Mansion!"
Songjiang Prefecture, under the jurisdiction of Shanghai County.
Chen Wuyang's face changed sharply: "What are you talking about?"
"Adult, it's true."
"The three troops of Nanhui Tsui are overwhelmed, Jinshanwei, Qingcunwei, and Chuanshawei, Sanwei has no news so far, I'm afraid it is gone!"
"The Paoshan Institute and the Wusongjiang Institute retreated, and they have lost their entrances. The thieves are mighty.
Songjiang Mansion in this era is still a place of wealth.
Songjiang cloth, known in the world.
Although Songjiang Prefecture was along the coast, he arranged heavy soldiers.
After Song Wei served as the defense, he increased his strength, about 15,000 soldiers, and defended Songjiang Prefecture.
"What do you say?" Chen Wuyang wasted in Wei Guo's government.
The son said: "Song defended, I wanted to ask Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong to sit on the defensive house."
Suddenly, Chen Wuyang was stiff.
I thought it was a matter of holding the two kings.
As a result, Hai Kou broke the Songjiang Mansion, but the two of them escaped the sky!
"Adults, the adults are waiting for you to reply!"
Nan Zhili caressed Zhang Feng and did not settle in Nanjing.
Wang Yan killed the Quartet in Ning Guofu at this time.
Nan Zhili could do the master, and did not sit in Nanjing.
Instead, in Nanjing, they are all in my heart.
"Adult!" Fanzi urged.
Chen Wuyang waved his hand: "Don't urge Lao Tzu!"
"Lao Tzu is just a fan, I do n’t understand the government, how can I decide to let Song Wei decide!"
"I can't control anything, don't care, go back to sleep!"
He is self-aware.
He played with Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong, and the emperor would not kill him.
But if he dares to put his hand into the government, he would immediately pass a imperial decree and kill him.
Fanzi didn't understand.
Chen Wuyang is a factory guard and the emperor's minions, but he must not participate in the government. Unless the emperor specially allows, it is absolutely not allowed.
Chen Wuyang kicked him: "You go to report Song Wei, Song Wei naturally knows how to do it!"
After speaking, I scolded out of Wei Guo's government: "His mother, what do I do? I do n’t go smoothly, I should ask for the Bodhisattva, alas, trapped in the south Zhili, it’ s really unhappy! ”
Fan Qing is not there, he has no one who speaks.
You can only get into the green.
Dingguo Gongfu.
Xu Yongning stood in front of the house, watching the long -lost sunshine, and a gentle smile on his face, and he got on the official sedan.
The official sedan went all the way to the guardian government.
Song Wei was scorched at this moment, and the defense of Songjiang Prefecture himself was arranged by himself.
Songjiang Prefecture is the first line of Hairou.
There are three guards in total, each guard has three thousand households, and there are 3,000 people. There are many.
There are more than a dozen houses, each with three hundred households and 300 people.
Along the coastline, all the heavy soldiers guarded.
How could it be broken by Hairou?
Even if it is broken, there should always be news that it is passed on to the defensive house?
Even if 15,000 pigs can resist a day, right? The news can be passed to the defensive mansion at least, unlike now, be caught by surprise!
15,000 people, the whole army is covered!
Not even a splash.
This is too weird.
The news was from Jiading Zhixian.
Song Wei had no time to think about it, he knew very well that he had spread on his own.
Before this battle, he was about to be reprimanded by the center. I was afraid that the emperor would write secrets and scold him, and his situation became very bad.
Even Zhang Feng, Wang Yan, Fan Qing, Chen Wuyang and others will receive the imperial edict of scolding.
What is the virtue of the pirates?
Can I still do good things on the shore?
I am afraid that the entire Songjiang Mansion is full of chickens, and a person is gone!
Songjiang Mansion is registered in the volume of 700,000!
Is it not album? I'm afraid there are one million people!
Song Wei's chest cavity suppressed Qi Qi.
At this time, Xu Yongning, Dingguo, came.
After the ceremony.
Song Wei cut a straightforward: "The pirates went ashore to overcome Songjiang Mansion. The official must go to the front line and supervise it in person."
"In the back, this defender wants to entrust the two two of the Guogong and Wei Guogong."
"What do you think?"
There's nothing we can do about it.
Zhang Feng, Wang Yan and others are not in Nanjing. Nanjing has no backbone. He must go to the front line to supervise the war. He can only hand over the power of Nanjing to the two Kugong.
"Play for the country, and die!" Xu Yongning bowed.
As he said, Wei Guogong was late, and he still had blood on his head, but said, "The country would rather fight the battlefield, and he was unwilling to die in the hands of Fanzi!"
"This country is willing to use blood to tell the center that Wei Guo Gong's government is loyal to His Majesty!" Never heart! "
Xu Yongning, Dingguo, also echoed: "Dingguo government is also willing to die to the last person!"
Song Wei was inexplicable.
Chen Wuyang's relationship with the two Guogong was not allowed.
Moreover, Nanjing courtiers were also offended by Wang Yuan all. Whether he will be towards the emperor may not be easy to say.
At this time, he was not entrusted.
He suddenly thought that he could take Chen Wuyang away and let Wei Guogong and Dingguo Public Security defended Nanjing.
However, Chen Wuyang was unwilling to leave.
"The emperor asked me to come to Nanjing, and I didn't let me leave Nanjing, so I dare not leave."
Chen Wuyang advised: "Master Song, the front line is important, but Nanjing is equally important. You cannot give Nanjing City to two beasts!"
Song Wei felt that Chen Wuyang had a must -have with the hearts of the two kingdoms and did not adopt it at all.
He comes from Xining Houfu, and has a good relationship with Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong. In essence, they are the same person.
They are all the glory of the elder father, from the ancestral title.
So he can understand Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong.
Chen Wuyang couldn't persuade him, and also knew that Song Wei was like a person like Song Wei. He looked down on him.
"I also ask an adult to write a hand book, cover the guardian official seal, and give it to the official."
"Once Nanjing has changed."
"Based on this handwriting, he can kill the rebels and control Nanjing!"
Song Wei was unwilling to give it.
But Chen Wuyang persisted.
He was reluctant to write down his hand, but Yan Ming could only be used once. When he had to be a last resort, he would never show it. If it affects the defense Nanjing, you will ask for Chen Wuyang.
In the afternoon of the same day, Song Wei led the Seven Thousand Water Division out of Nanjing.
The guards of the guards were convened along the line, and Shunjiang quickly rushed to Suzhou Prefecture.
Tomorrow is still a big chapter ~
(End of chapter)
