The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 605 Annan royal family who became a puppet
Hu Jishou was not directly executed, but was treated as a criminal and escorted to the capital of the Ming Dynasty for interrogation.

This is Ye Sheng's insistence.

Even King Annan, the Supreme Emperor Annan, did not dare to have any intention of disobeying.

Of course, the so-called Annan Supreme Emperor was not officially canonized by Daming, that is to say, the so-called Annan Supreme Emperor was created by Annan himself.

Originally, Annan was independent, and these were nothing, and Daming couldn't control it.

But now it's different. Daming has taken control of Annan across the board, so what do you mean by the so-called Annan Supreme Emperor?
Ye Sheng directly denied the so-called Annan Supreme Emperor's rule, and officially announced in the Eastern Capital Palace that only King Annan was recognized by Daming.

This made Annan Taishang Huang Chen Yong suddenly dumbfounded, and he was about to play the emperor of Ming Dynasty immediately.

But Ye Sheng didn't care about these things.

In fact, as a military commander, Ye Sheng doesn't know much about these more political things. In fact, it is Zhu Ying's meaning behind this.

If you want to completely control Annan, but abolishing the Annan royal family seems to be nominally immoral, you can only let him be a puppet.

Annan Taishang Huang Chen Yong, without the support of Ming Dynasty, suddenly became an ordinary member of the royal family, and all the officials found that the situation seemed to have changed a lot.

Except for a small number of Annan ministers who were loyal to Chen Yong, everyone else was trembling.

three days.

These ministers loyal to Chen Yong died in various accidents.

For example, drinking water choked to death, fell to death while riding a horse, died of serious illness, etc.

This also made Chen Yong realize that his situation is already more dangerous.

At this time, he began to miss Hu Jiyao.

Even though Hu Jishou held the court empty, he still had a lot of power. Even if Hu Jisuo rebelled, he was not affected by any disturbances here.

But he also knew that, to a large extent, Daming had already given up on him.

Under such circumstances, it is probably impossible for Ye Sheng, a Marquis, to do such a thing and get the support of all the Ming army without the hint from the Ming court.

Next, Ye Sheng, in the name of King Annan's youth, asked Liu Sheng to be the prime minister of Annan to take charge of Annan's political affairs.

When it comes to this aspect, it is tantamount to completely emptying the Annan royal family.

The so-called King Annan has been reduced to a puppet.

Of course, even a puppet can still live in the palace without abolishing King Annan, and there will be no shortage of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Annan's imperial guards were all replaced by Daming's army.

Annan's high-ranking and powerful veterans in the imperial court also begged for their bones one after another, and returned to their hometowns to retire.

The members of the chamber of commerce who followed Chen Sheng to Annan turned into ministers of all walks of life.

Including Li Xiucai.

Oh, it can no longer be called Li Xiucai, it should be called Li Shangshu.

Li Xiucai has already been appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Annan, which can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people.

"I really didn't expect that I would have today."

Li Zhengxiang said with a sigh.

Li Zhengxiang is Li Xiucai's real name, and he almost forgot his real name.

When he was in the Western Regions, he took many false names, and when he returned to Daming with Liu Sheng, most of them were called Li Xiucai.

But today, when the appointment letter came down, there were three large characters on it: Li Zhengxiang.

Only then did he realize that this was his own name.

"Master Shangshu, please change your clothes, the court is about to go up." The servant next to him whispered cautiously.

Li Zhengxiang turned around, his waist became straight at this moment, and his hands slowly spread out, allowing the servants to serve him.

It was already May when the news of Annan's victory reached Daming.

Immediately boarded the capital mansion newspaper.

On the mansion newspaper, not only the news of Annan's great victory in the suppression of the rebellion, but also a lot of space was used to introduce Annan.

For example, Annan's food situation is so easy to harvest.

For example, Annan's sea trade has great prospects and so on.

At the same time, a message was announced that the preferential treatment policy for relocating Annan will be released soon.

The next day, the Jingshi Mansion News issued a new notice, as long as the common people, literati, gentry, etc., who are willing to relocate to overseas feudal lands, will have great preferential treatment.

Salary, salary, gift of land, priority for being an official, etc.

And it was clearly stated above that Daming recognized the household registration of migrating overseas.

On this one, the most exciting thing is not the ordinary literati, but the businessman.

No matter what the business situation is, after making money, the first thought is to change the household registration.

Work status is definitely not enough, what they yearn for most is official status.

Often in this regard, marriage is usually used to change the household registration of one's offspring.

Now the imperial court directly pointed out a clear path.

As long as you can get official status overseas, then on Daming's side, your official status can also be recognized.

Compared with the current Ming Dynasty, how difficult it is to take the official test for merit.

But overseas is completely different.

Just talking about Annan's place, anyone with a little brain can imagine that it is just at a time when everything is waiting to be done, and it can be said that there is a lot of shortage of people.

The intention of the imperial court is also very obvious, that is, they want more Han people to migrate there and increase the influence of Ming Dynasty in the area.

As long as it passes, it must be very easy to become an official.

How can there be such rigor as Daming outside, at worst, just spend money to clear it up.

Not only businessmen, but also some low-level officials are ready to move.

With the increasing difficulty of Ming's promotion, and the regulatory regulations from various aspects, although officials have no worries about food and clothing, the difficulty of making a fortune has greatly increased.

This is especially true when it comes to greed for money.

From the capital to the status, all aspects of the system are constantly being improved. The officials are not yet familiar with such a regulatory system, and it is difficult to find a place to start for the time being.

After all, the management system established by Zhu Ying is quite advanced and surpasses contemporary cognition. It is a long-term and slow thing to find loopholes in it and carry out silent corruption.

Officials have been in the officialdom for a long time, and most of them can guess about Annan's situation.

First of all, if you go to Annan to become an official, promotion is inevitable. The court also made it clear that alternate officials will go to Annan and be promoted to one to three levels according to the specific situation.

On Annan's side, there is also a system of three provinces and six ministries.

The position of Shangshu is unlikely, and there is still a lot of hope for the ministers of various ministries.

Moreover, there must be a large shortage of local prefectures and county towns. Under the rule of Ming Dynasty, there must be more advantages than Annan's side.

For a while, the household department became even busier.

Now when I go to the Household Registry Office under the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is almost overcrowded. When I go there early in the morning every day, there is a long queue, which even affects the pedestrians on the street.

Those who line up here are either going to the Wa Kingdom or going to Annan.

The capital is so lively, and other places are even more so.

For example, Guangxi is close to Annan, so it is more convenient to come and go. When the news came, it was already completely full.

They all wanted to go to Annan to do something.

For such a situation, Zhu Ying was very satisfied.

If you want to really rule a place, first of all, the proportion of the population must be relatively high for the Han people. ,

For Daming, it is easy to fight, but governance is a more troublesome and complicated issue.

The real integration of a place into the direct rule of the Ming Dynasty has always been carried out slowly over the years.

Annan belonged to the county seat of the Central Plains Dynasty very early. The main reason why it was separated out was that there were too few Han Chinese who were willing to move there.

When the proportion of local Han people is far lower than that of other ethnic groups, there will naturally be no so-called loyalty.

As long as there is any turmoil in the Central Plains Dynasty, these large populations will naturally take advantage of the wind and immediately leave the Central Plains Dynasty instead of truly considering themselves a part of the Central Plains Dynasty.

In Annan in the future, even if there is still the so-called Annan royal family, as long as the number of Han people is large enough, there is no need to worry about the possibility of being divided at all.

"Waguo and Annan will definitely become the territory of our Great Ming in the future."

"The grandson's method is quite good. In fact, we still didn't want our descendants to conquer these small countries. It felt like thankless work, and it wasted the power of the Ming Dynasty for nothing."

"As it is now, we can completely expand the territory of our Great Ming, similar to other small countries, which can also be directly annexed."

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely excited, he felt the possibility of the continuous expansion of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as the founding emperor, was of course very clear about the contradictions within the Ming Dynasty.

In order to stabilize the foundation of the old Zhu's family, he himself wanted to establish some countries that would not be confiscated, so that the Ming Dynasty would continue.

But now, through these operations of Dasun, not only the war does not lose money, but it is quite profitable.

Especially the migration of Han people has always been a headache for Zhu Yuanzhang.

You must know that during the 20 years of Yu Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang personally arranged many large-scale migrations, and this migration has never stopped.

The purpose is to rule the entire Ming Dynasty even more.

Even the internal migration, the dissatisfaction of the people is very high, and there are even many rebellions. Although they were quickly suppressed, it also shows that most of the people are passive and coercive.

Now it is completely different. Zhu Ying lured them with benefits, coupled with the propaganda of the Jingshi Mansion Newspaper, so that everyone not only did not have any resistance to the migration, but was active and enthusiastic about the migration.

Even some Chinese surnames have the idea of ​​large-scale migration.

In this way, the sharp class contradictions in Ming Dynasty itself are constantly attenuating, and basically all of them have been transferred to the outside.

It has greatly reduced the pressure of the population explosion in Daming.

"Grandpa, as long as the method of Waguo and Annan is feasible, we can copy it according to this situation in the future, and the same is true for other places."

"The territory of our Great Ming will only grow bigger and bigger."

There was a bit of exclamation in Zhu Ying's tone.

In fact, for the court, or for the royal family, the incorporation of these small countries did not greatly increase the national power of the Ming Dynasty.

To put it simply, it is to make the connection between the suzerain and the dependent countries closer.

But look at it from another angle.

First of all, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty have a whereabouts, and there is no need to fight for the fief within the Ming Dynasty.

The stability of the surrounding area is in the hands of the Ming court, and its dominance and influence have become even stronger.

For the household registration personnel of Daming, there are also more places to choose their way out.

This gradually assimilated routine can be continuously replicated and strengthened.

Like today's Western Regions, it has already been greatly impacted.

If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's ban on the sea, it would have been difficult for Zhu Ying's Qunying Chamber of Commerce to develop.

Due to the desertion of the land Silk Road in the Western Regions, the number of caravans coming and going has become scarce. In addition to the prosperity of the maritime trade industry, it can be said that it has completely withered.

The Beiyuan Employment Association now has a number of tens of thousands, all of whom are cavalry on the grassland.

Through the association, they began to be employed by Ming merchants, causing great chaos throughout the Western Regions.

Tens of thousands of prairie cavalry, without the restraint of Ming Dynasty, can completely walk sideways in the Western Regions, which also caused a huge flop in the business situation of the Western Regions.

In the face of sufficient interests, there are no kind-hearted businessmen. With the protection of strong force, the Ming caravan has caused great danger to the rule of local chieftain nobles and small country monarchs in the Western Regions.

In just over half a year now, several small countries in the Western Regions that often opposed Ming Dynasty had been destroyed.

Among them, the declining nobles of the Western Regions are even more numerous.

These news will not be published in the Jingshi Mansion Newspaper, which is equivalent to saying that the entire Western Region is already blocked.

Only when the entire western region is in chaos to a certain extent, will Zhu Ying or the Ming court take action.

Many well-informed caravans probably knew about this situation, and immediately spent a lot of money to go to the Western Regions for the most primitive capital accumulation.

This situation is not only in the Western Regions, but also in the neighboring Tubo area.

The smart businessman has now begun to bring the prairie cavalry south to Tubo.

Civilization and barbarism are like a fire that ignites the Western Regions and Tubo thoroughly.

A large number of monarchs of small countries in the Western Regions and Tubo sent envoys to the capital of the Ming Dynasty in order to obtain the asylum of the imperial court.

It's just that when Pandora's box is opened, how can it be closed so easily.

Among other things, behind these caravans, there are also inextricably complex relationships with the court ministers, and the chain of interests transported has already involved internal funds.

How do you say that you can stop if you stop.

What's more, Daming now needs a large number of people for infrastructure construction. The price of population in the headquarters is too high. Obtaining people from outside can not only reduce the construction cost, but also mean huge benefits.

Let's just talk about the Western Regions, the border between Tubo and Ming Dynasty.

A large number of dental rows appeared.

Even in a small town on the border, there may be more than a dozen dental shops operating.

Daming forbids the slave trade, but if it is a formal introduction of work, it is naturally within the legal protection of Daming.
