Daming now needs a large number of personnel to support construction.
Most of the people who committed the crime this time were considered good citizens, but it involved the royal family and nine ethnic groups.
Giving a chance is not a big deal. The key is that the old man has to step up.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to kill so many people at once. It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang was bloodthirsty, but killing common people was very rare in Zhu Yuanzhang's records.
The main reason is that there are so many corrupt officials, or nobles who have affected the stability of the old Zhu family's throne.
With the steps in hand, Zhu Yuanzhang only hesitated slightly and said, "Then let's do it according to Da Sun's words."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Jing, the Minister of Punishment below, first breathed a sigh of relief.
No one wants to bear such a huge massacre. Thinking about so many people dying, they can't sleep well at night. The key is that these people really died unjustly.
Naturally, His Majesty Long Wei is not afraid, but they, the ministers, cannot bear it.
The case in Shanxi is considered lonely here.
Even so, nearly 7,000 people were executed in the end without even a chance of exile.
The amount of money involved is too high. This is even more outrageous than the Guo Heng case in the 18th year of Hongwu.
From a side perspective, it is too easy for current officials to commit corruption.
In this regard, Zhu Ying is also powerless.
Anti-corruption is a long-term work. No matter what kind of policy it is, there will always be people implementing it, and there will always be loopholes that can be exploited.
Let alone now, even in future generations, how can we truly put an end to the phenomenon of adultery?
What's more, in today's official-based society, the only thing we can do is to continuously increase the intensity of supervision.
As the New Year approaches, the weather is getting colder now.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always been strong and healthy, also contracted the cold.
For young people, it may be okay if you can endure the cold even if you don't take medicine, but for older people like Zhu Yuanzhang, it is a bit of a hardship.
Regarding His Majesty's health, the doctors at the Tai Hospital suddenly became nervous.
After taking the pulse with the three top doctors, they had to go back to hold a meeting to finally consider and discuss the prescription.
The combination and dosage of each medicinal ingredient must be carefully considered and studied without any delay.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lying on the bed, smiled and said to Zhu Ying who was waiting next to him: "Look, you are scared. It's just a cold. It's not a big deal. Why are you so nervous?"
"We know very well about our body that it will be fine in two or three days at most."
"Remember when we...cough cough cough."
Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to talk about his experience of suffering from illness when he was down and out, but he broke into a violent cough without a breath.
Zhu Ying quickly half-supported the old man and patted his back to help him calm down.
"Grandpa is in the best health. Of course my grandson knows that, but the weather is very cold now, and grandpa's physical condition is even more nervous than that of Ming Dynasty Guo Zuo."
Every winter is a difficult time for the elderly.
The death of the elderly is also the most common in winter.
Zhu Ying didn't want the old man to die so soon. It didn't mean that he didn't want to assume the responsibility of the emperor, but Zhu Ying now truly regarded the old man as his grandfather and close relative.
"Hey, we are just getting older. Actually, I really want to go out for a walk again and see our Ming Dynasty."
"I think the changes in the past few years have been very big. It should be much better than what we did back then."
"Since we established our capital in Nanjing, we rarely leave Nanjing."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked out the window and said in a dark tone.
He didn't go out in the past because he was busy with government affairs, and there were too many places that Daming needed to deal with personally, and he didn't have time at all.
Speaking of which, who likes to immerse himself in work every day? It is true that Zhu Yuanzhang is a workaholic, but as an emperor
, the most powerful person in the world, his more motivation is to make the Ming Dynasty permanent.
This Ming Dynasty was just founded, but after being ravaged by the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty, it can be said that it is riddled with holes and fragmented.
He wants to leave a good family fortune to his descendants, not a mess.
Among them, naturally there is also the reason for the big girl.
When the eldest sister was around, although Zhu Yuanzhang was also a model worker, he also paid attention to rest.
Later, when the eldest sister left, Zhu Yuanzhang felt uncomfortable every day, so he put all his thoughts on government affairs in order to ease his pain of missing her.
It is now thanks to the efforts of the great grandson that the Ming Dynasty has blossomed into unimaginable splendor. With the reform of the system, the emperor himself has become less involved in things, and this can be regarded as free time.
Zhu Yuanzhang now gradually recognized Da Sun's handling methods. In addition to tightly grasping military power, other matters were basically left to the ministers themselves to handle.
Just look at the final results and political performance.
"Grandpa, when you recover from your illness, we, grandpa and grandson, can go out and have a look, see what Ming Dynasty is now, and see where grandpa has been."
Zhu Ying thought for a moment and suggested.
In fact, Zhu Ying had this idea a long time ago and took the old man for a walk around.
Although the palace is nice, it is very boring to stay here every day.
Go out for a walk and see different scenery to relax your mind better.
When a person is in a good mood, he will naturally become healthier.
"Okay, we've always wanted to visit Annan. I heard it's very warm there even in winter. We've wanted to visit it for a long time."
"When the cold wind passes, let's go to Annan."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Da Sun's suggestion, he spoke directly.
Now that he is getting older, he wants to do more while he is still strong.
In the next few years, I will have no choice but to stay in Nanjing.
Zhu Ying didn't expect that the old man actually wanted to go to Annan.
The pressure came on all of a sudden.
However, looking at the old man's hopeful eyes, he still nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go to Annan."
Your Majesty and your grandson are going to Annan.
This is a huge matter for the entire Ming Dynasty.
The first thing is to determine the route. Naturally, we need to take the land route instead of the sea route.
The risks at sea are too great, and unforeseen events are easy to happen. If we really encounter a storm at sea, this will be a huge blow to the entire Ming Dynasty.
It's basically very safe on land.
The current internal situation in Ming Dynasty is still very stable, and the security team of the grandfather and grandson is of course very large.
It is inevitable to accompany the army. Although the cost is certainly not small, for the current Ming Dynasty, it is not a big burden.
The news that the grandfather and grandson were going to tour the south soon spread in the court.
This will naturally be opposed by many civil servants.
In fact, as far as going out is concerned, Zhu Yuanzhang once took his sons to the people for private visits incognito on a few occasions to understand the public sentiment.
The opposition from civil servants this time was not due to safety or anything else, but mainly because they were worried about His Majesty's physical condition.
Now His Majesty has already been infected with the cold and is still thinking about going out for a dance. The objection is out of filial piety as a minister.
Of course, this is just a formality, and there will rarely be any changes to what Zhu Yuanzhang has decided.
The courtiers were not sincerely opposed.
Now there are less than two months left before Hongwu's thirtieth year.
According to calculations, I plan to spend this winter in the south.
If this is the case, it is naturally not a simple grandfather and grandson.
Basically, those who can be together in the palace will be brought together.
These concubines in the harem, including the princes and grandsons who are already quite old, will all take them out to see them.
knowledge.
For example, Ye Yueqing and several other concubines, except Sultana who cannot go due to pregnancy, will take the others with them.
And further south, the temperature is much higher.
When the temperature starts to warm up in spring, we can return to Nanjing again.
Preparations begin soon.
The first is the dissemination of Di Bao.
The emperor wanted to tour the south. Naturally, it was impossible to hide it. On the contrary, it was even more important to make a big fanfare.
It is best to let local officials know early that the emperor is coming and they need to prepare in advance.
There are also the guards following.
Those who can protect the emperor's safety naturally need the most elite army in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The number of troops cannot be too small or too large.
According to the current situation, Zhu Ying tentatively estimates that 50,000 people are enough.
In fact, this number is already very large in terms of the patrols of emperors in the past dynasties. Generally speaking, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people, and it is rare to bring 50,000 people with them.
After all, the Ming Dynasty's treasury is full now, so there is no need to worry about spending.
Fifty thousand people may not seem like many, but in fact, when they arrive at a certain place, there will be local troops following them.
It can also be regarded as a kind of military parade.
Every time other emperors went on a tour, they had to do some accounting and calculate the costs.
The purpose of this tour is firstly to understand the sentiments of the people, and secondly to enjoy the sights and sounds of mountains and rivers.
Of course, the scenic spots and scenic spots are not to be missed.
Similar to later generations, the emperor also had to have strategies when going on tour.
These strategies are naturally arranged by the ministers.
Wherever there is fun, delicious food, and good-looking things, everything must be arranged.
During this tour, there is another key point.
That is, every time we go to a place, we will notify the local people.
The first is the warm welcome given by the people to the emperor, and the pomp and ceremony must be indispensable to fully reflect the people's recognition of the imperial power.
Then there is the issue of ***.
Cases that have not been handled well by local officials, or some people who have been wronged, have the right to directly file a complaint after His Majesty's inspection arrives.
If there are any local officials who are corrupt and bend the law, they will naturally be dealt with directly.
Who doesn’t want to go out and play?
On the third day after the appointment, Zhu Yuanzhang got up from the bed, his complexion suddenly improved, and there was a smile on his face.
Everyone loves traveling.
Especially the emperor.
This time the route starts from Nanjing and then passes through Hefei, Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangzhou, and Guangxi.
Then take a boat from Qiongzhou to Annan.
The last stop is Champa.
Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to see his grandson.
Zhu Yunwen has been in Champa for a long time. Although the eldest grandson is the most important, it does not mean that Zhu Yuanzhang has no feelings for Zhu Yunwen.
In terms of time, Zhu Yunwen actually stayed with Zhu Yuanzhang.
He also grew up in the palace since childhood.
Now the vassal has gone to Champa. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything verbally, but he still missed him a little in his heart.
I might as well go and have a look while I’m on my southern tour.
And this trip to Champa also had a good impact on the expansion of the Ming Dynasty.
As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Taisun.
It is completely possible to replace the customs defense of Champa City in the name of ensuring safety.
You can't just say that when the emperor comes, you can still let the army occupy the city to garrison it. Of course, all of them must be the Ming army.
At this point, there was no reason why King Zhan would not agree.
By then, at least 200,000 troops will be stationed in Champa.
Speaking of which, the happiest people are naturally Chen Muyue and Ananya.
Ananya returned to Champa for the first time since she came to Ming Dynasty.
Chen Muyue returned to Annan for the second time.
There was an ocean fleet before, and again this time
His Majesty's southern tour.
Many smart ministers already have guesses in their minds.
It is rare to say that the emperor's inspections would go beyond the borders of the country, but this time His Majesty's destination was Annan, Champa City.
Politically speaking, this is a good guide for the migration of Ming people.
The imperial court had continuously encouraged the people of the Ming Dynasty to settle in Nanyang.
Even the imperial court is already planning to allocate part of the treasury money as fixed expenses for the migration.
In other words, traveling expenses are paid to people who are willing to migrate.
Of course, water transportation is the main method, and the cost of land transportation is relatively high.
Starting from the Yangtze River Basin, they then migrated to Annan via sea navigation and occupied the city.
This includes Qiongzhou.
Recently in Dongfan, a bounty of 100,000 guan treasure notes has been distributed. Anyone who can find a safe channel to Dongfan can get these 100,000 guan treasure notes.
Don't look at the Ming court where there are millions, even tens of millions, and hundreds of millions of treasure notes.
In fact, one hundred thousand guan banknotes are already considered a huge fortune for these merchants traveling on the sea.
It can be predicted that after Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ying and others visited the south, a large number of migrations will inevitably occur.
This is also the result Zhu Ying has always wanted.
How could the Ming Dynasty acquire Nanyang without the incorporation of a large number of Han people.
As long as the number of Han people in Nanyang is large enough, it will become a very simple matter to bring the entire Nanyang into the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
With Nanyang, Ming Dynasty has the guarantee to break through the three hundred years of imperial rule.
Even if there is some damage, it is no longer a fantasy to survive the Little Ice Age safely and break the curse of historical dynasties changing due to climate.
The development of Nanyang will obviously become the national policy of the Ming Dynasty.
This southern tour is the first, and it will definitely not be the last.
It was very easy for Ming Dynasty to gather tens of thousands of people.
The current start time of the southern tour mainly depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's physical condition.
"It's been seven days. Our body has already recovered and we are ready to go at any time."
Zhu Yuanzhang helplessly watched the imperial doctor take his pulse, and then said to his eldest grandson.
For the sake of the old man's health, even if he recovered, Zhu Ying asked the imperial doctor to observe him for three days to make sure there was nothing wrong before starting the southern tour.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already impatient, unable to hold back.
It wasn't until the imperial doctor replied that his majesty was fully recovered that Zhu Ying agreed to start the southern tour.
