Despite the Ming army's resolute declaration, the leaders, who were so obsessed with profit, no longer cared so much.
They estimated that Zhao Yucheng would not bring many troops. They believed that it would be difficult to assemble the main force of the Ming army and would take a lot of time. Their strength was more than four times that of Zhao Yucheng, so they rejected Zhao Yucheng's ultimatum.
Immediately afterwards, these greedy tribes, who were already about to fight over how to distribute the spoils, reached a temporary agreement and decided to expel the Ming army. They would then decide for themselves who would get the biggest share of the spoils.
They seemed to be sure that they could defeat Zhao Yucheng, ignoring the strong combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
Zhao Yucheng had no choice but to lead his army into a battle with the coalition forces of these tribes. On the premise that they did not have a numerical advantage, he defeated them without any accident, pushed them to the ground and rubbed them fiercely.
Under the sharp assault of the Ming army, the tribal coalition was severely beaten. Later, Zhao Yucheng declared war on the grounds that many tribes actively attacked the Ming army, and mobilized an army to launch a destructive war against thirteen tribes, wiping out their tribes. For flat ground.
The leaders of the group were killed without leaving any trace, and all the tribal civilians were sent to labor reform. Only after labor reform could they regain their freedom.
This great victory once again shocked the tribal forces in the entire Guangdong region. They collectively kept silent, saying nothing, and were afraid that Zhao Yucheng would show his power again.
After the end of this war, which lasted less than a month, the Ming Dynasty gained a lot and once again established its unshakable authority in the entire Guangdong land.
And because the war between the Ming Kingdom and the tribes this time has a relatively legitimate reason, many tribes that were originally friendly to the Ming Kingdom chose to be more friendly to the Ming Kingdom, and the tribes that were not very cold towards the Ming Kingdom also began to be friendly to the Ming Kingdom. touch.
As for the hostile tribes, they also put away their hostility and restrained the tribesmen to never have any conflicts with the Ming Dynasty.
For Zhao Yucheng himself, the biggest reward was that he was actively pursued by Yue Ling'er, who took the initiative to discuss marriage with Zhao Yucheng, and agreed to use the entire tribe as a dowry to marry Zhao Yucheng.
Her attitude could be said to be quite resolute, and she immediately settled in Guangzhou City. She went to Zhao Yucheng's house every day to find him and asked him when he would promise her.
Later, the entire city of Guangzhou knew about this matter. Many of Zhao Yucheng's subordinates teased Zhao Yucheng about it. Xie Yuanliang, the provincial councilor and political officer, also teased Zhao Yucheng about it.
Zhao Yucheng was frightened at first, but after communicating with Su Yonglin about the incident later, Su Yonglin expressed his intention to support.
He thinks that this girl has a good character, dares to love and hate, and is educated. She is not an uncivilized savage. Zhao Yucheng is not too young, almost thirty. The ancients are almost becoming grandfathers at this time, so it is time to find someone. Wife.
Zhao Yucheng also carefully thought about the pros and cons of this matter, and finally felt that it was a good choice both personally and in the overall situation, so he agreed to Yue Ling'er's pursuit, married her, and ended the two-year marriage. Seventeen years of single life.
After they got married, Yue Ling'er's tribe did become her dowry and was completely left to Zhao Yucheng's disposal. Zhao Yucheng, on the grounds that he was a member of the Renaissance, did not want any private property and chose to build the tribe into a collective farm.
In Zhao Yucheng's view, this is a very meaningful experiment to test how to transform local tribes into collective farms of the Ming Dynasty. If successful in the future, it will also provide some valuable experience for the Ming Dynasty, which will be of great use later.
Yue Ling'er had no objection. She lived contentedly with Zhao Yucheng. She once set a record of not letting Zhao Yucheng leave the boudoir for two consecutive days, which caused a moment of laughter.
Now that Su Yonglin saw the happy look on Zhao Yucheng's face, he knew that their husband and wife lived in harmony. With such a successful precedent, there would be enough buffer zones between the Guangdong Province and the local tribes in the future.
Zhao Yucheng's matter was kept secret. After all twenty old army subordinates who had a close relationship with Su Yonglin arrived, Su Yonglin treated them to a meal together. Later, after all the representatives of the Central Committee of the major provinces also arrived, Another feast to welcome the wind.
Some important governance and development strategies at the national level still require capable and experienced professionals to propose. It is also true that ordinary people do not have this ability.
Therefore, the central meeting was set up to prevent the Ming Dynasty from having problems with its specific work strategies and from being anti-intellectual. National construction was not easy. Su Yonglin felt very distressed whenever something went wrong.
The delegates selected to the Central Conference this time are elite professionals from all aspects of the country, including military, administrative, financial, judicial, agricultural, and industrial people. They have all made recognized and incomparable achievements. Personnel with controversial grades were selected.
After everything was prepared, the New Year of the Thirteenth Year of Hongwu arrived.
I have to say that this is the happiest New Year that Su Yonglin has ever spent. With family and friends around him, he can eat, drink, talk and laugh, reminisce about the past, look forward to the future, and do many things that he had thought of before but had no chance to do.
The Ming Dynasty's New Year's holiday lasted five days. In previous New Years, Su Yonglin only had three days' holiday at most. In some years, he didn't even have one day's holiday. At most, he had a New Year's Eve dinner with his family in the evening.
This year was different. He fully enjoyed the five-day vacation, eating, sleeping, and feeling more relaxed than ever before.
After the New Year, on the sixth day of the first lunar month of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the five-day First Central Representative Conference of the Ming Dynasty was officially held in the Yangxin Hall where Su Yonglin originally worked and lived.
Now, Yangxin Hall has been converted into a formal central conference hall. 331 central conference delegates from across the country first gathered in front of the Ming Dynasty flag stage at the entrance of the conference hall.
Under the leadership of Su Yonglin, they collectively saluted the national flag and took an oath.
“We hereby swear to conduct state affairs with sincerity and sincerity, not to be selfish or private in state affairs, to serve the public wholeheartedly, to serve the country in public, to bear in mind the suffering of oppression, not to forget the hatred of exploitation, and to forever bear the blood of our comrades. If this oath is violated, God will Everyone kills together.”
After the oath was taken, a group of people lined up and slowly entered the central conference hall.
In the conference hall, the nine-person decision-making group sat in the middle with Su Yonglin facing south. The other central representatives sat in the broad categories of military, administrative, and judicial, facing the nine-person decision-making group.
Su Yonglin presided over this Central Representative Conference as the host of the Central Representative Conference and made an opening declaration and speech.
"The fact that you are among the delegates to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China represents the recognition of your contribution to the revolutionary cause over the past ten years by the entire Central Government and the Renaissance Headquarters. You have made a contribution to the country that no one can question and that is recognized." With his great contribution, he was elected as a representative of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
You are all indispensable and meritorious ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and you are the revolutionaries who have protected the Ming Dynasty to this day. The founding of the Ming Dynasty and the revolutionary construction cause can achieve the current development, and you have worked hard to achieve great results. But what you need to understand is that hard work does not mean that you have achieved great results. You can do whatever you want based on your own merit.
The Ming Dynasty has come to this day because every citizen of the Ming Dynasty has worked hard for this. It is not just us who are doing this, but all the people are doing it. We must not look down on the masses or despise the masses in a superior manner.
Every regime in history that looked down on the masses and despised them has been destroyed. For example, the Jin Kingdom, the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Xixia Dynasty all collapsed in the anger of the people. This is the power of the people and the eternal shackles of our generation. Hope you all Keep it in mind and never forget it. "
Central representatives collectively applauded Su Yonglin's speech.
Then, the meeting officially started.
