Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 795
Reducing privileges is what Emperor Chongzhen has been doing, although he also knows in his heart that there is no absolute fairness and justice in the world. After all, human nature is complicated. It must be a long cycle to transition from the rule of man to the rule of law. Not short-term results can be seen.

However, although the reality was difficult, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to go on, at least to build a relatively fair environment in the mainland of Daming.

"Since Sun Chuanting became the governor of Henan, I have been very angry at the Zongfu's encroachment on the official land."

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers of the Lifan Academy, with no expression of joy or sorrow, "As the clan and vassal clan of the Emperor Ming, they should have taken care of the Daming society and solved my problems for me, but they, one by one He only thinks about himself and is content with having fun, no matter how many difficulties Guochao encounters, he never thinks about what he has to bear."

Zhang Zhiji and other ministers of Li Fan Yuan stood where they were respectfully when they heard what the emperor said.

Since the rebellion broke out in the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the group of officials in the court, who is not aware of the temper of the emperor, has become more and more powerful.

Perhaps before that, some ministers in the central court could still hold up the banner of ancestral system or etiquette, and oppose or advise some decisions made by the emperor.

But now no one dares to do so easily.

the reason is simple.

The Son of Heaven doesn't like this at all.

In particular, the suppression and suppression of the rebellion in the southern provinces, the many troops sent by the imperial court made breakthroughs in the southern provinces, which made the Chongzhen Emperor's prestige even stronger.

Imperial power needs to be backed by military power.

"Since the overseas transfer of domains has achieved some remarkable results, I feel that this matter must be firmly implemented."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Mr. Ying, tell me about the group of ex-vassals in the northern provinces. How many of them have entered Beijing by order?"

Emperor Chongzhen had conceived for a long time the matter of overseas transfer of vassals.

Beating the Ming clan to death with a stick and completely cutting off their privileges would certainly give the country an advantage, but it would also expose some problems.

The operation and maintenance of a dynasty requires iron support on the bright side, otherwise many problems will inevitably be exposed during the operation.

It is precisely based on this premise that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to actively promote the transfer of vassals overseas, so that those suzerains and vassals of the Zhu family could settle in large numbers overseas in Daming, and build a stable maritime defense line for Daming. If this matter is good, not only can these areas be effectively controlled, but it can also drive the development of local industries in Daming.

After all, if you want to control these areas, you must conquer them in the early stage. The local natives will not give up the land, so they can be conquered through war.

In this way, Ming's arms trade will be able to expand in scale, thereby stimulating Ming's military industry, and then driving industries in other fields.

And when these regions need to be conquered and these places need to be governed, other things will be needed, which can establish the exchange of various resources for the required sea trade.

A group of overseas vassal movers headed by Zhu Yujian played a very good leading role in moving vassals to North Korea, the Ryukyu Islands, Dongfan Town and other places.

"Your Majesty, up to now, all the groups who have served in the northern provinces have entered Beijing according to His Majesty's will." Zhang Zhiji stepped forward and saluted.

"According to His Majesty's will, the land under the name of the vassal will be carefully checked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the corresponding value will be estimated, and then it will be used in exchange for overseas vassal land.

In addition, in the royal residences in various places, the Lifan Court sent official letters to Siming in various places to properly protect them as places for local people to visit in the future, and they only need to pay a certain amount of money to visit these royal residences..."

Emperor Chongzhen showed a gratified smile.

Overseas transfer of feudal vassals is an established strategic plan, but it is also a business. In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the imperial court cannot pay money for the implementation of overseas vassal transfers. The money, and then maintain this arrangement.

In the past, Emperor Chongzhen had a clear grasp of the evil things that these suzerain and vassal groups did in the local area.

Originally, according to Emperor Chongzhen's character, he must have killed a group of vassals, but in order to ensure the grand strategy, it can be promoted smoothly.

Emperor Chongzhen did not go to kill the vassal.

On the contrary, they used this to pinch their lives, forcing them to take the initiative to request the transfer of the domain, and fill all the wealth accumulated under their names into internal funds, in exchange for the transfer area, various weapons and firearms, and a batch of supplies for them to drive. Army and more.

After this deal was done, Emperor Chongzhen made a lot of money.

The high fiscal deficit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been emptied by half. Emperor Chongzhen, who has these advantages, can do too many things.

"Since the suzerains and vassals of the northern provinces have all entered Beijing by order."

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the sleeves of his robe, looked at Zhang Zhiji and the others, and said loudly: "The list of the second batch of overseas transfers should be clarified by the Lifan Academy as soon as possible. Lord, bring about the transfer of feudal lords as soon as possible.

Now that the Jianlu in North Korea has been completely suppressed, now that the crisis has been lifted, it is time for the troops sent by Guochao to aid North Korea to call back a batch.

On this matter, the Lifan Academy will draft a memorial and submit it to the imperial court. "

"The ministers obey the order."

Everyone bowed to each other immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen had always done things one by one, and North Korea must be brought under the rule of Ming Dynasty, but the objective facts must also be faced squarely.

Before the steam train was developed, the cost of Ming's actual control of North Korea was far higher than the harvest.

If this is the case, we can ask the Daming vassals to move there first, let them actually control some territories, and promote the process of further Sinicization.

After the territory of North Korea was completely belonged to the Ming Dynasty, the Korean feudal vassals were gradually moved out, and the corresponding Chengxuan Political Envoy Division was prepared.

Emperor Chongzhen knew very well that once such a strategic deployment was implemented, North Korea would inevitably become a powder keg in the future, but it was nothing.

As long as Ming can gain benefits in North Korea, even if a regional war or conflict breaks out, there will be no problem. After all, war can catalyze many things.

Weaken the vitality of North Korea and feed it back to various fields of Ming Dynasty. When the Liaodong area develops and begins to build the main railway line, then the deployment of real control of North Korea can follow the trend.
