Chapter 152 Liaodong Chief Envoy?

Outside the Wenhua Palace.

A young man wearing a crown of wings, a red collar and narrow-sleeved gown, with golden dragons embroidered on each shoulder, a jade belt around his waist, and buckskin boots on his feet, looks heroic and looks forward to flying. The footsteps come in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, the grandson has arrived."

"Xuan!"

With a smile on his face, Taisun walked into the Wenhua Palace calmly.

He knelt down respectfully and bowed his hands.

"Grandson asks, Saint Boon."

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible grandson kneeling in front of him, Emperor Hongwu also had a smile on his face, put down the ink pen in his hand, and said kindly: "Zhen'an, grandson, get up."

"Give a seat."

Sitting on the sandalwood chair brought by the two young eunuchs, Taisun raised his head and looked at his grandfather, wondering why he suddenly summoned him.

Emperor Hongwu didn't hold back, and asked the eunuch to hand over the playbook of Peng Ke's letter to his grandson.

"Come, take a look at this playbook."

After receiving the playbook, Taisun read it with some doubts.

Thousands of words, although not many words.

But the amount of information contained in it is not much at all.

Taisun frowned for a while, and beamed with joy for a while, the expression on his face was extremely rich because of this memorabilia.

"This"

Taisun is not stupid, after reading the contents of the memorandum, he knew that his grandfather was going to test himself again.

This kind of thing happened a lot in the past two years.

"Grandson, what do you think of Peng Qing's suggestion?" Emperor Hong Wu raised his eyes slightly and asked calmly.

Looking at his grandfather's calm face that could not be seen to appease his anger, and recalling how much his grandfather attached importance to Hetao, the grandson immediately had a secret in his heart.

"Return to the words of the emperor's grandfather."

"If what General Peng said is true, Jianzhou is indeed a treasure land."

"Woyeqianli, if it is developed, it can be used for our large granary in the northeast of Ming Dynasty, and it can supply the Nine Frontiers Conquest!"

"In the past, the Qin Kingdom won the kingdom of heaven in the middle of Shu, and then unified the universe!"

"If I get Hetao and Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty, I'm just a mere northern barbarian, and it's even more insufficient!"

The grandson clearly figured it out, and his grandfather must have been very happy to see this memorial, and he also agreed with this suggestion.

So he immediately took out the fact that Qin State acquired the big granary of Shu in the past, and then unified the six countries as evidence, and praised this memorial.

Sure enough, Emperor Hongwu felt very relieved when he heard Taisun say that.

My grandson's strategic vision is still good!
To be an emperor, as long as there is no problem with the vision of grand strategy, you can control the overall development direction of the empire.

Supplemented with some strategies for imperial servants, basically the personality of a successful king is definitely there.

However, Taisun's thoughts are not limited to this!
After he praised Penke's memorial, he changed the topic again.

"However, Sun'er thinks that General Peng's thinking is a bit biased."

"Although our dynasty has set up a single capital in key areas of border defense, it has implemented a unified rule of the military and the people."

"Although Jianzhou is located outside the Great Wall, it is surrounded by aliens on three sides, and most of the people living there are savages who drink blood."

"However, with Liaodong Dusi and Daning Dusi standing in front of us, we will not face the threat of the Northern Barbarians directly!"

"General Peng suggested setting up a separate capital in Jianzhou, which is inappropriate!"

"The chief can manage the army at the top, and the people at the bottom. He has a lot of power. If it is on the border with the northern barbarians and hindered by the northern barbarians, it is expedient to set up a capital chief alone."

"However, in the land of Jianzhou, there is no big enemy. It faces Shandong across the sea. Whether it is land or water, there is no danger of facing the front of the army."

"Furthermore, since it is necessary to immigrate millions of real borders, it must be managed and ruled by the chief envoy."

"I, Ming, should set up three divisions in the state, move the people, clarify the etiquette and law, and broaden education!"

"The chief minister is in charge of the people, the procuratorate is in charge of justice, and the chief is in charge of the army. Only then can the people's livelihood develop and long-term stability!"

"Military control, it's a big mistake!"

Taisun's sentences come from the heart.

He is really dissatisfied with Daming's policy of setting up the capital alone!

In a centralized dynasty, how could there be a department that can manage the army from the top and the people from the bottom, and the military and government can grasp it?

Isn't this the same as the vassal system in the Tang Dynasty?
Lessons from the past, the teacher behind the car!
If a feudal town is established widely, it will surely lead to a catastrophe like the end of the Tang Dynasty, when the towns don't listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement!

This root of disaster is comparable to the disaster of princes and kings!

However, upon hearing his words, Emperor Hongwu frowned.

Taisun's idea is indeed correct.

If there are too many capitals alone, there may be a danger of causing disasters for the feudal town.

In addition to the Dusi and Xingdusi of the provinces in the Ming Dynasty, there were only two separate Shitudusi, Daning and Liaodong.

And they are all located outside the Great Wall, on land that has not been occupied by the previous dynasty, so they were added.

But if we set up another Jianzhou capital.

Then there are three capitals that hang outside the Great Wall and integrate the army and the people.

And these three capitals are still connected together.

Although the imperial court will set up different commanders.

But if the three of them conspire together, it will indeed pose a great threat to Daming's rule outside Shanhaiguan.

Now he was fine when Emperor Hongwu was in power, no one dared to jump around.

But if he dies, the ruler of the country is young, the princes and kings are watching, and the vassals outside the pass will stand on their own, then the Ming Dynasty will be full of chaos in an instant.

It's not good to have so many separate capitals outside the Great Wall Pass!
Emperor Hongwu stood up from his throne, walked down the imperial steps, and started pacing in the hall.

After a long time, he turned his head to look at Taisun: "In your opinion, what should it be?"

Taisun also stood up and cupped his hands, saying: "Grandfather, Liaodong Dusi, has been standing for many years!"

"Now, I am a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and I have expanded the land and built thousands of miles of land for the Ming Dynasty. The foundation of my Ming Dynasty outside the pass has been established!"

"The Liaodong capital has a large area and few people. With the addition of Jianzhou, the land area is no less than that of the inland provinces."

"At this time, the Liaodong capital should be removed from the Shandong province, and a state should be established, and the Liaodong province should be established, and three divisions should be established to rule!"

Taisun plausibly suggested to Emperor Hongwu.

It's time to expand the thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty!

Liaodong, which is connected to Shanhaiguan by only one Liaoxi Corridor, should no longer be under the jurisdiction of Shandong Province.

Besides, the Liaodong capital has always been under the Shandong province.

But in fact, they are all managed by the commander of the Liaodong capital and the king of Liao, and there is no such thing as the Shandong chief envoy.

In Taisun's view, this is something that goes beyond the rules of etiquette!
Not only the capital of Liaodong, but also the capital of Daning, the capital of Beiping, etc., are mostly controlled by noble generals, supplemented by princes and kings.

Although the center can still mobilize them, and they are very well-behaved and obedient on weekdays.

But in Taisun's view, there are too many potential dangers!
And this time, it is a very good opportunity to abolish the Liaodong capital!

"When Liaodong Dusi was established, it needed to face the remnants of the northern barbarians who had fled to the Nuergan area."

"However, in the 20th year of Hongwu, Song Guogong Feng Sheng led an army to defeat the remaining forces of the northern barbarians in Nuergan and solved the problems in the east of Liaodong. The capital of Liaodong has settled down."

"Now Xindejian Prefecture, where all the savages have been cleared out, should set up a province and set up three departments to stabilize people's hearts, supplemented by a benevolent government, so that the people are willing to emigrate!"

Why were the people of Ming Dynasty not very willing to immigrate to Liaodong before, and would rather go to the land of Yanyun.

Isn't it because Liaodong is lonely outside the Great Wall, and there is a danger of being harassed or even captured by the northern barbarians at any time!

No matter how good the land is, you have to live to enjoy it.

But today is different.

Now let’s look at Jianzhou. There is the Daning capital in front of Liaodong, and Jianzhou arch guards in the back. It is already a safe and good land.

If we continue to set up only the capital to control, it will somewhat hinder the development of people's livelihood and land development in Liaodong.

The time to establish a province is imminent!

Taisun's confession really moved Emperor Hongwu quite a bit.

These remarks are very reasonable, and they are beneficial to the country and have great benefits!

Emperor Hongwu frowned, sat back on the throne again, and said with a big smile, "Okay!"

"As expected of my good grandson, this proposal is very kind."

"The land of Liaodong is indeed no longer suitable for continued military control. Counties and counties should be built, water power should be developed, and people should be moved!"

"However, Jianzhou Xinde is not suitable for directly establishing counties."

"In the deep mountains and old forests in Jianzhou, there are many savage tribes left, the number exceeds [-], and the army still needs to wipe them out."

"If the savages are not eliminated, the people who immigrated to Jianzhou will not be able to live in peace."

"For the convenience of the common people, it is better to set up a capital alone, and use the frontier army to control it and march the army."

"After the savages are completely wiped out in the future, it will not be too late to divide the counties and counties!"

Emperor Hongwu was very old-fashioned and educated his grandson: "The newly acquired land should not be rushed for a while, but should be developed slowly."

"It's true that the time has come for Liaodong to establish a province."

"Tomorrow's meeting, we will discuss this matter!"

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Taisun's face, but he quickly covered it up.

"The emperor's grandfather taught it!" He bowed his head and bowed his hands, very submissive, with a learned expression on his face.

But in his heart, he was extremely unhappy, and even complained about the imperial grandfather.

The emperor's grandfather seems to be because of his old age.

Far less decisive than when he was young.

Those Jianzhou savages are just a group of savages who drink blood and don't even have weapons in hand. Yu Daming doesn't even have jock itch.

Why be so cautious?

If he was sitting on the throne instead, he would definitely choose to establish provinces directly in Liaodong and Jianzhou, dispatch officials to govern, and immigrate millions of people.

After three to five years, the granary in the Northeast will become 10,000%, and [-]+ troops will be deployed here. If the king of Sai wants to rebel, he can go directly to the south to serve the king!

Liaodong is like a sharp blade pierced into Yanning's back, enough to deter the two great kings, and dare not let them have any second thoughts!

Once they dare to rebel, they will face the enemy's situation!
In this way, the two kings of Yanning and Ning can be controlled by him.

The grandson thinks that this is a great plan!
Grandfather actually hesitated, he was really old and fatuous!
But fortunately, at least my grandfather agreed to set up the Liaodong capital in counties and counties, set up three divisions, and turn the province into a province.

In this way, the King of Liao, who was sealed in Liaodong, would not be able to cover the sky in Liaodong.

The Liaodong chief envoy, the commanding envoy, the inspection envoy, and the king of Liao coexisted, which greatly weakened the influence of the king of Liao.

This is also a good thing!
