Chapter 105 Mine Thief Maitreya
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "At the junction of the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, there were mine thieves who robbed homes and killed officials. Seventeen officials from the Qing Dynasty disappeared. In the southern Jiangxi area, some people believed in Maitreya. They actually captured the county seat. It's even more interesting. What is surprising is that the White Lotus Sect has resurrected in Huguang."
"Do you think it's interesting?"
What's the point?
Not interesting at all.
In fact, He Xi didn't quite believe what Zhu Yuanzhang said before about the gap between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty.
Now I believe it immediately.
Really believe it.
He Xi is in Ming Dynasty and has been collecting information about Ming Dynasty. That thought was more thoughtful than that of watching Xinwen Lianbo in later generations. In fact, there is no need for He Xi to think too much. Anyone who pays a little attention to official newspapers will know. Four years after Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty stopped its Northern Expedition and began to recuperate. Of course there is a war with foreign countries. But there was a war that lasted for more than ten years, with fighting all over the country. It cannot be ignored either.
That is the war against bandits.
For Xungui, this is hard work, let alone hard work. There is no merit to speak of. But many generals on the battlefield were rotated. I dare not say that I have wiped out all the bandits in the world. After all, some people are hiding in the mountains and forests. There is nothing we can do.
But there are absolutely no large groups of bandits.
Especially the place where Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian meet, it is originally a place where bandits are prone to, with high mountains and steep mountains, and it is also the main road from Fujian to Jiangxi and Zhejiang. It is normal for bandits to take over. But if He Xi remembers correctly, when he went to Hangzhou to attack Guo Huan, the person in charge of suppressing the bandits at that time was Tang Shengzong, the Marquis of Yan'an. The bandits he suppressed at that time were from this generation.
The mountain tops that tens of thousands of troops had swept through appeared again just a few years later?
This is simply impossible.
Then you can imagine what is behind it.
There must be someone behind this.
Thinking of what Zhu Yuanzhang did, it was actually not too much. Someone is already trying to cause trouble. If He Xi wants to do things in Jiangnan. That's not to say it can't be done, but it requires a lot of effort and a lot of effort. It doesn't mean that Liaodong doesn't have to put in the effort. After all, Liaodong's foundation is too poor. A lot of hardware needs to be replenished.
However, the two parties have different focuses of difficulties, and Jiangnan may need more resistance from people. In Liaodong, it is more about objective factors.
He Xi said: "I will go and prepare now."
"No need." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Don't worry about it for a few days. I want to see it too."
He Xi didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see. But generally speaking, I think it should be based on the prince's reaction. Such a situation. The prince didn't know what to do. But this is not about He Xi anymore. He Xi didn't dare to say more.
It was getting dark by this time.
Zhu Yuanzhang also went down the mountain.
Arrived at the foot of the mountain. King Yan himself came back. Bring a map. It is a hand-drawn river. It was driven out of several mountain peaks. There are some difficulties in construction. But once it is successful, this dragon vein will be divided into two. The remaining land may have the appearance of a prince, but it is no longer an imperial residence.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "That's right. Just go ahead and do it."
King Yan said: "Father, please give me a name."
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and wrote three words with a brush: "Sun and Moon River."
Yes Sun Moon River.
The sun and moon are bright. With this river suppressing the Dragon Vein, nothing should happen.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang said: "From now on, this river must be guarded day and night. There must be no mistakes."
He Xi said, "I understand."
------
The situation in the south seems to be greater than He Xi imagined. In a few days, urgent reports will arrive. For a time, the Yao thieves in Guangxi. Tusi from Yunnan, Lianshan Yao from Guangdong, etc., have a feeling that the whole world is in war.
For a moment, Ming Dynasty seemed to be in a precarious state.
He Xi has not yet received information on whether the prince has done anything.
King Yan also immediately asked for a fight.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed them all.
Doesn't seem worried at all.
He Xi also thought about it in his heart. He felt that the world was not that fragile. There is certainly trouble in these places, but it is definitely exaggerated. There is even one point below, and the official report is ten points. Many people are not here for Zhu Yuanzhang. But it was for the prince.
See what the prince will do?
Zhu Yuanzhang went on a tour and entrusted all important affairs of the court to the prince.
The prince retreated if he could not bear the pressure. This matter is difficult to handle. The imperial court cannot change its orders overnight. After Zhu Yuanzhang came back, he did not deal with the prince. It is estimated that many things will be difficult to implement.
But He Xi didn't understand. Why can Zhu Yuanzhang remain calm? Why did the prince fall into such a whirlpool? This is not like Zhu Yuanzhang who loves the prince so much.
However, a few days passed.
The prince's deeds will also be reported.
The prince captured more than a hundred officials in a row, all of whom were under the command of the criminal department bosses. The prince even used the Jin Yiwei. Many officials were imprisoned without any approval. Immediately, people from the East Palace were sent to various provinces to supervise the war. Even Xu Da quickly moved to Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi. Waiting places.
The prince made a series of actions. The situation was immediately calmed down.
But in the official reports, it seems that nothing happened, only that the Qingzhang went smoothly. No matter how much taxes the Ming Dynasty increased, the people would not bear more taxes, or even bear less taxes.
It seems that nothing happened.
These methods made He Xi somewhat admired.
After moving to another place, He Xi felt that he might not be able to have the skills of the prince.
But when Zhu Yuanzhang saw what the prince did, his expression was very strange.
Zhu Yuanzhang had no expression on his face. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad. He could only sigh slightly. Apart from that, there is no other expression.
He Xi always felt that Zhu Yuanzhang sighed more and more often in this paragraph.
As the storm in the South seems to be coming to an end. Zhu Yuanzhang decided to go south. Left Liaodong.
He Xi saw Zhu Yuanzhang from afar to Shanhaiguan, and then they parted ways.
He Xi originally thought that the turmoil in Nanjing was over. But he never expected it. The turmoil in Nanjing is not over. With Zhu Yuanzhang returning to Beijing, a bigger turmoil is brewing. People at this time regarded the Hongwu Dynasty as a transitional era in history books.
It is divided into the early Hongwu period and the late Hongwu period. The later period of Hongwu began this year.
It is the prelude to a new chapter in history.
This prelude was completed by two people. One is Zhu Yuanzhang and the other is He Xi.
He Xi didn't know what kind of reputation he would leave in the future, and didn't think much about it. However, he thought a lot on the way back to Liaodong from Shanhaiguan. He not only wants to complete Zhu Yuanzhang's mission. There is more to do.
Zhu Yuanzhang actually didn't know much about the future and industry. Therefore, he only made demands on results.
But He Xi is different.
He Xi has more power in his hands. There are more resources. He thought that not just a few factories but a few technological upgrades had been made. It is a complete industrial system.
Many people may think that this is too exaggerated.
actually not.
Because industrial systems in different eras are different. Because industrial development means that the more it develops, the more categories it will have. The more it develops, the more disciplines it develops. In the beginning, many industries actually didn’t have it. The industrial system that He Xi thought of was nothing more than heavy industry, mining, iron smelting, cement, machine processing, and weapons manufacturing. Shipbuilding, light industry, textile industry, grain processing industry. paper industry. And the supporting industries for all of this.
Of course, this alone is not enough. He Xi was also making supplements while thinking hard.
At the same time, He Xi also knew. It is difficult to accomplish all this. Just the things in front of me are difficult enough.
These industries must complete the upgrade from handicrafts to industry. In addition, we have to work hard on agriculture, and there are many things that cannot be avoided, such as supporting Lan Yu's war, such as Goryeo's relocation of people, etc.
He Xi could only sigh, feeling nervous every day. One day needs to be used as two days, and every labor force is very nervous. But people can't use it excessively, otherwise it will kill people. And money should be spent equally. Therefore, resources, manpower, material resources, and time are not enough for what He Xi is doing.
So, I couldn't care about anything else. On the ancient road outside Shanhaiguan, we raced so fast that we left the sunset and Guancheng behind.
He rushed back anxiously. It seems that if you go back a day earlier, you can do more things. Make more progress.
