"Congratulations to the Dragon Division for offering three baskets of braids!"
"You Shigong is offering five baskets of pigtails!"
"Liang Zhongshan was given two baskets of pigtails!"
…
Salhu.
Early in the morning.
Officials from the newly established Privy Council Discipline Department were counting the braids sent by frontier generals from various places.
Because the processing of the head took too long and affected the efficiency. In addition, in order to avoid the spread of disease, Zhu Youxiao requested that the head be replaced with a braid when reporting merit, and the braid had to be boiled and sent to the Chinese army camp.
Therefore, at this time, the officials of the Ji Gong Department were shouting about baskets of pigtails.
Zhu Youxiao looked at these baskets of money rats with a sense of accomplishment. He knew that his role as a "tyrant" over the years was not in vain, and his money was not wasted.
And for this reason, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but said to Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli: "So many bannermen have been eliminated. Even if we stop killing the remaining bannermen now, I am afraid that if the remaining bannermen want to regain the manpower that was killed, they will have to fight for it." It takes the accumulation of several generations.”
"What your Majesty said is that this is the fate he deserved after Nurhachi rebelled against the Ming Dynasty."
Yuan Keli replied at this time.
Zhu Youxiao suddenly said at this moment: "It is only a matter of time that the Donglu will be wiped out, but this does not mean that the threat of foreigners to our Ming Dynasty will completely disappear. People who are not my race will have different minds, regardless of foreigners." I am very respectful now, but there is no guarantee that they do not have the ambition to enslave the Han people. Therefore, in the future, we must find a way to completely eradicate the ambitions of these foreigners who attempt to enslave the Han people and seize the land of the Han family! We must reform the land and return to the country. "Liu, we can't just think that surrendering a few upper-class foreign nobles will always lead to peace of mind. We must make these foreign nobles lose the foundation to cause trouble, and let the ordinary barbarians below them become independent and free from their control!"
Yuan Keli and Xiong Tingbi both nodded.
Then, Yuan Keli said first: "Returning from the native land to the locals can be very helpful in solving the possibility of secret ambitions of surrendering to the foreign slaves, but it is also the most vulnerable to the opposition of many foreign slave chiefs. Doing so will inevitably lead to wars again." Things happen, otherwise, it may be difficult to have miraculous effects.”
Zhu Youxiao said: "In the Han Dynasty, there were troubles from the Huns, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were troubles from the Turks, and during the Song Dynasty, there were troubles from the Liao and Jin Dynasties. The reason why these have disappeared now is because their clans died, so there was no disaster, so there was no war. It doesn't matter, as long as a war can destroy them, even if they can't destroy their people, they must destroy their clan, destroy their customs, and change the land to return to their hometown, so that they can't grow bigger. In the past, the dynasties have repeatedly conquered the barbarians, but Repeated rebellion means that after the war, he failed to implement the policy of reforming his country and returning home, and his clan was completely wiped out!"
"What your Majesty said is a good policy, but throughout the ages, Ming rulers have governed the country. The reason why they still treat the barbarians with peace and tenderness after the conquest is not because they don't know the effect of reforming the land and returning them to their homeland, but because in the governance of great countries, regardless of whether they are Chinese or barbarian, there is a decree that cannot be Problems with speed and incomplete news. For example, it takes more than a month to deliver news from Chengdu to the capital, and even two months to Yunnan, even if it is a fast horse. This is also the so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Even if the court dispatches exiled officials, it is easy to happen. The phenomenon of official officials becoming local officials."
Xiong Tingbi put forward his own opinion at this time.
In his opinion, it is a good strategy to change the situation of returning natives to rural areas, but it was not without reason that the previous emperors did not use it. After all, the communication technology could not keep up. Just ruling two capitals and 13 provinces was hampered by the inconvenience of transportation. It is easy for officials and gentry to collude and disobey imperial decrees. For more remote places, even if the imperial court succeeds in converting the country to local rule, it will be difficult to maintain the effect of the change. In some places, powerful people will still continue to be local emperors because the emperor is far away.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao also agreed with Xiong Tingbi's point of view, and nodded and said: "The communication technology has not kept up, and rashly trying to change the native land and return it to the local people may not be effective. Everything should be done step by step. After the Donglu are completely wiped out, , first of all, there must be no local forces within two months of Kuaima that do not accept the transfer of official positions! As for the rest, we can implement the policy of restraint first and wait for the communication conditions to catch up. "
If the theory of electromagnetic wave propagation hadn't been too advanced, Zhu Youxiao would have wanted to come up with a radio as soon as possible.
Even if radio didn't appear first, there would still be existing wires.
After all, if communication technology is not updated, it will really limit his Ming expansion.
Even if these objective conditions are not taken into account and the Ming Dynasty expands unscrupulously, it will easily split into many independent Ming kingdoms in the later period.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao now really wants to come up with the telegraph thing.
Tian Ergen came over at this time and handed a secret report to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, a secret report came from Hetuala. Most of the Eight Banners troops led by Nurhachi, including Huang Taiji, Jilharang, and Amin, have withdrawn. He left Hetuala, intending to find an opportunity to escape during the migration movement, but Nurhachi left Mang Gurtai and Abatai alone. In addition, it was reported that Nurhaci had discovered Mang Gurtai's secret dealings with us. , and let Mang Gurtai find an opportunity to murder you in the future."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao looked solemn and asked, "How many days ago was this news?"
"Three days ago."
Tian Ergen replied.
"Three days ago, it was too slow. It would be great if we could know immediately."
Zhu Youxiao slandered, then looked at Yuan Keli and said: "Yuan Aiqing, please immediately pass on my decree to Sun Chuanting, inform him of the matter, and ask him to send more sentries to find out Huang Taiji's whereabouts. You would rather not capture it first." Hetuala, even if you arrest Nurhachi, you can’t let people like Huang Taiji go!”
"I obey the decree!"
Yuan Keli replied.
Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "Mang Gurtai is just one of the secret works we developed secretly. Although Nurhaci is smart and can spot one or two of my secret works, he can't discover them all. Tell our people that I want to live." Nurhachi, but Mang Gurtai does not have to be alive."
"The minister understands!"
Tian Ergen also replied.
At this time, Yuan Keli said: "Your Majesty, the Qintian Supervisor has already calculated the time to sacrifice the fallen soldiers of our Ming Dynasty in the Battle of Sarhu, but according to the sacrifice ceremony you appointed, there is still a time to sacrifice the flag. You see, we must Don't Jin Yiwei think of ways to catch a few big fish from inside to make it look better when offering sacrifices to the flag."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "The Jin Yiwei first went to all the military towns to ask. In addition, let Fu Zonglong organize the Baoyi in the reception area to identify whether there are any big shots among the escaped Baoyi. If they are not safe, there is Nurhachi next to him. The big shots pretended to be Bao Yi and fled to my Ming Dynasty."
"According to the order!"
…
Bao Yi Cao Zhenyan has been in the Bao Yi reception area for some time.
He had to admit that his life in the Daming Internment Area was much better than his days as a packer. Although he had many classes to study every day, the food he ate was really good, and he could still have a meal every now and then.
Cao Zhenyan is now somewhat grateful to Jin Yiwei Xizuo who persuaded him to escape to the Ming Realm.
And now, Cao Zhenyan also knows through study why he became a Bao Yi, how the Donglu rose up, and how they enslaved the Han people.
"It turns out that the Great Khan is Li Chengliang's domestic slave, and his status is even lower than mine!"
"The Donglu people are so ambitious that they want to be the masters of all of us Han people!"
"Bah! It turns out that the nobles of the Eight Banners are so incestuous and shameless!"
For a while, Cao Zhenyan started chatting with many familiar leaders. Cao Zhenyan even went to the stage to complain and testified: "I have seen this with my own eyes. Those Eight Banners nobles are really worse than beasts. The seventh son, Azig, was my master before. He broke into my house that day, the traitor Ning Wan, slept with his concubine, and asked me to guard the door. Guess what my reaction was, Ning Wan. , when he came back, he just smiled and asked Azig if his concubine had served his master well."
"Haha! This Eight Banners noble is worse than a beast, but this big traitor Ning Wan is really mean to me!"
The other wrappers laughed at this.
Ning Wanwo, who was sitting below, had a cold look on his face.
Zhou Zhongze, the Touqing Zhusheng beside him, said: "This wrapping is really abominable. What he said is equivalent to letting everyone in the world know about you. But, were you really not angry at that time?"
After Ning finished, I replied: "If the Qing Dynasty had not been in this situation, such a trap would never have dared to be so rampant! It's hateful!"
Cao Zhenyan discovered Ning Wanwo at this time.
Since Ning Wan and I were the only ones who didn't smile, it was easy to notice.
In addition, the imperial court now encourages them to expose the bannermen and traitors who hold official positions in Donglu around them, and promises heavy rewards for their merits.
Therefore, Cao Zhenyan immediately walked to the guerrilla Weng Zhiqi of Fu Zong's Longbiao Camp, and pointed at Ning Wanwo: "General! That person is Ning Wanwo! I dare to guarantee it with my head!"
"Yeah?"
Weng Zhiqi was very excited after hearing this.
Because right now the people above are asking the people below to find a few more big shots so that they can use them to sacrifice the flag.
Therefore, the generals below are actively searching.
After all, this is also an opportunity to stay in the emperor's heart.
After hearing this, Weng Zhiqi immediately said: "Take us to capture him!"
With that said, Weng Zhiqi gave the order: "Send the order, close the city gate!"
