my days with tyrants

Yang Feng's move confused everyone.

Completely bewildered!
People are rebelling, so you don't care about that?Also sent an envoy to announce, are you a funny man?Also sent a local to tell, you must be a funny guy, right?Xie Jin, a local, is also a great Confucian, and a new banner of Confucian scholars among the civil servants to announce, so what else can he do except strengthen the determination of the southern Jiangxi gentry to rebel to the end?Maybe even he was gone forever.

If you do this, all the prefectures on the border will follow suit.

Even if you are trying to lure a snake out of the hole, that’s not how you play it. You must know that Nan Jiang’s strategic position is poor compared to Huguang and Henan. In fact, anyone who wants to march to Guangdong must control Nan Jiang.

If you hand over such an important place to others, are you not afraid that one day Jianwen's army will go down the Ganjiang River and Jiangxi gentry will flock to welcome Master Wang?

Then the Huguang gentry flocked from the dragon to the south of the Yangtze River with millions of boats?
Are you ready for another big win?
Even if you lead the snake out of the hole, you haven't seen anyone sticking his head out of the hole!
Of course, it’s stupid to be stupid. Since he played like this, everyone can rest assured. At first, they were worried that the loyalists in Nangan would rush to act righteously. Once Yang Feng’s thunderous attack, they would not be able to support Jianwen’s reinforcements. But now there is no need to worry.

Then the civil servants in the capital, as if they had picked up the wrong script, all praised the ruling move.

Benevolence!

Absolute benevolence.

Not even punishing the rebels, but sending people to tell them, is this not benevolence?
How can there be such a benevolent monarch since ancient times?
Someone also proposed to give the ruler the honorary title...

Princesses can also have titles!
She is already a grown-up princess, so what does it matter if she has a title, the queen is her grandson, so it is reasonable to give her aunt a title.

Of course, the ruling government rejected their good intentions.

And the consequences of the spread of this news are also obvious. Chenzhou, Yongzhou, Baoqing, Guiyang Prefecture to which Hengzhou Prefecture belongs, and Tingzhou in Fujian can almost be said to have defected at the speed of light. In addition, Nan'an Prefecture, which was previously occupied by the Jianwen Dynasty, most of the state capitals at the border have defected to the Jianwen Dynasty.Their purpose is the same as that of Nangan, if they don't seek refuge with Jianwen Dynasty, they will have to resist when Yang Feng implements the public land law, otherwise they will not be able to wait for death after all.

The latter must share the cost of defense with them. After all, as long as they can defend, Jianwen is safe behind them.

If Yang Feng sent troops to attack Nanjiang immediately, they had to think about it. After all, time was short and they didn't have much time to prepare, so they might not be able to wait for Jianwen's reinforcements.

Yang Feng's prestige is still very worrying.

But what are you afraid of?
He doesn't care.

Then let Jianwenchao quickly send troops over to improve their defense, provide them with ammunition, money and food so that they can recruit soldiers, buy horses and build fortresses.

Especially the new fortress.

The kind built by King Yan when he was holding on to Kaifeng.

The gentry have long been eyeing this new type of fortress, which can obviously wear down attackers.

Then, after Xie Jin made the announcement for two full months and failed until the end of the year, and then returned to the capital with infinite melancholy, the ruling party still refused to conquest.

When the king of Chu arrives in Hengyang, it will be difficult for everyone to vote.

Mainly because of his father-in-law’s army, but his father-in-law obviously didn’t want him to go back. It would be good for Wang Bi to be King Annan himself, and there’s no need to let his son-in-law go back. Therefore, if the king of Chu came to Hengyang, it would be difficult for the gentry of Hengyang to kill him.
In this way, Huguang voted for another important town.

Moreover, Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Jianwen Dynasty, Huang Kui from Ji'an, Jiangxi, and Hu Zizhao, a student of Fang Xiaoru, led the [-] imperial battalion to Ji'an. It is said that the army is majestic and armored.Now the iron and steel industry in Foshan has entered into a booming development. In the mountainous areas of western Guangdong and northern Guangdong, the gentry developed small iron mines and used high-quality high-grade ore and charcoal to smelt pig iron, and then shipped the iron ingots to Foshan by water, and those folk smelters in Foshan smelted these high-quality pig iron into high-quality wrought iron and even low-carbon steel.

Reprocessed into various weapons.

Similarly, the control of overseas trade also allows them to have sufficient funds...

In fact, Jianwen is also a precious banknote, but it is not a gold and silver standard, so the Cantonese gentry are reluctant to take it out.

They are pepper standard.

The Cantonese gentry copied Zhu Di’s game and used pepper to support the currency. They controlled the source of this thing as much as they needed to go to Nanyang.In this way, they can use pepper to support precious banknotes, and northern merchants who want to buy pepper can only exchange Guangzhou banknotes with precious metals such as gold, silver and copper unless they exchange the same materials needed by Guangdong, Guangxi and Annan.

So the currency value is stable.

However, Guangdong and Guangxi have plenty of food, and there is no sharp depreciation of currency caused by food shortage.

These gentlemen are very shrewd, and many things are self-taught.

Liberal capitalism!
In fact, Jianwen Dynasty is comparable to Yang Fenghua in playing.

The main reason is that he can't control it, he doesn't matter, and those ministers who follow the dragon, in the end, they are fleeing. How to formulate court etiquette, examinations, and run schools can have the final say, but how to develop the economy must be listened to by the Guangdong gentry.

It goes without saying what the result of the latter has the final say.

They ran into capitalism much faster than Yang Feng, and they even discovered that Yang Feng's system had hidden dangers. He seemed friendly to industrial and commercial gentry, but in fact he had evil intentions. In fact, a large part of the reason why Guangdong gentry support Jianwen now has become this.

They found that Yang Feng's encouragement of industry and commerce was true, but this bastard seemed uneasy and kind. While he was encouraging industry and commerce, he was also putting shackles on industry and commerce, especially the monopoly of land, minerals, and some industries. This was obviously wrong.If he really encourages industry and commerce, he should not continue to restrict such restrictions, especially the control of land and minerals, let alone the financial monopoly of the banking industry. The land equalization system alone will make these guys who are starting to transform realize that Yang Feng is not the same as them.

Encouraging industry and commerce must at the same time encourage land mergers, because only in this way can farmers be forced to move to the cities and become ashes for the development of industry and commerce.

But the land equalization system obviously runs counter to this.

Under the equal-field system, farmers have land and can rely on farming for a living, so why do they go to the city to serve as dust for industry and commerce?
Since Yang Feng claimed to be from a later generation, he should be familiar with everything. However, while encouraging industry and commerce, he put shackles on industry and commerce.

but……

But they knew very well that there was definitely something wrong with Yang Feng.

Compared with Jianwen, who can only let them do whatever they want because they have no power, Yang Feng is not a good choice for them.

Jianwen is.

Of course, these are not important at the moment. Anyway, the Guangdong gentry are happy now, and their military industry is supporting the great cause of Emperor Jianwen.

The latter, headed by the He family, together with the military households of the Guangdong Guard, especially the Guangzhou Semu military households, have established a [-] imperial battalion, which is similar to the Shenji battalion.As for its real pillar of force, it was Wang Bi's Annan Legion, which had already been promoted to the title of county king, and the Grand Governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was personally seated in Guilin, while the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Guangzhou was run by He Rong as a fellow governor.

The latter was also promoted to Duke.

Duke of Guangdong.

In addition, there is a separate navy, and the commander of the navy is He Di. This navy is still very strong.

In short, Emperor Jianwen did not disappoint the expectations of the loyalists, he really sent troops to protect those subjects who defected to the light.

Of course, the most important thing is that the latter has a population.

Jiangxi has the third largest population in Ming Dynasty, second only to Zhili and Zhejiang. Even if only the three prefectures of Southern Jiangxi brought him more population than the entire province of Guangxi.

In fact, after this round of defection, the population he controlled immediately doubled.

This is the source of troops.

In the past, what he lacked the most was the source of soldiers.

As for the capital city, it continues to ignore it, and the ruling government blatantly sneers at these unscrupulous people...

"This generation has lived in a poor land for a long time. They don't know kindness, righteousness, obedience and evil. They are like moths throwing themselves into the fire. In the future, they will be smashed and their bones will be broken. Good words can't persuade the damned ghosts, let them go! What the court gains is not a benefit, and what is lost is not a loss. Even if the court loses the land of these two provinces, it will not lose thousands of miles of territory. Why should it matter? Now it is the Queen Mother's birthday, and it is time for the whole country to enjoy it. Whatever it is!"

Her Royal Highness the Ruling Princess said as if she was possessed by Mutiva.

"Your Highness is wise, it is true that the Empress Dowager's birthday is the most important thing at this time. This generation is only suffering from mange. In the future, the army will fall apart with the power of heaven."

Xie Jin quickly touted it.

"His Highness Shengming!"

……

Then a bunch of ministers praised Her Royal Highness.

At this time, in the distant Western Regions, Zhu Di was riding a horse in the snow-capped Yili River Valley, and the Tianshan Mountains in winter were all white.

Behind him is the array of guard cavalry.

The three guarded cavalry were divided into three formations, each formation was armored cavalry in front, equipped with horses and horses. The large polished steel plate of the new armor reflected light in the sun, and the horses with face armor looked like monsters.

And behind the armored cavalry, there are flying cavalry on both wings, which are actually light cavalry.

They don't even need armor, they are all leather robes, and they don't even carry spears. Apart from bows and arrows, they only have knives and short spears, but each person carries multiple short spears.

In the middle of the flying cavalry, behind the Jia cavalry, is the hussars.

In fact, it is the main formation composed of Tuocheng. All the cavalry are mounted cavalry and dismounted infantry.

There is even a special artillery battalion, which uses camels to carry light field artillery and mortars.

The three guards formed three independent cavalry groups, forming a huge character on the white snow field.

In front of Zhu Di, teams of nomadic cavalry arrived, and in front of these nomadic cavalry were their chiefs.

King Yan stopped and looked at them majestically on his horse.

These chiefs hurriedly got off their horses, one by one, as if they were worshiping a god, they hurried to his horse, and then knelt down one by one in fear and respect, and bowed to him.

"Khan, you have finally returned to your land!"

Gui Lichi, the leader, said excitedly.

King Khan is the respectful title they gave Zhu Di.

After all, Zhu Di is not an emperor. Calling him Tian Khan is a bit like framing him, but calling him a king is obviously not enough. After all, the rank of a king is still low.

"Get up!"

Zhu Di looked at these chiefs.

Guilichi, Mahamu, Taiping, and several other tribes, basically all the tribal chiefs of the Northern Wala system came.

At present, the Oala family is divided into two parts, one is Ugqihashha, and he leads several tribes in Dawandu to command envoys, while the northern ones command envoys in both Kunling and Hanhai, but they are called Oala, but they are actually mixed with Oula and Mongolia. Hanhaidu commanded envoys and even some Siberian tribes.

They are now nomadic in the Ili Valley and the Land of the Seven Rivers.

It's winter.

Zhu Di allowed the nomadic herdsmen of Hanhaidu to spend the winter in this relatively warm area, and there is enough food here. For the herdsmen who could only struggle in the severe cold of the Mongolian plateau in winter, this can undoubtedly be said to be a gift.What Mongolian herdsmen long for most is food. Livestock is the most insecure food. They may be lost due to various disasters at any time, but food will not get sick. Food can allow them to survive the winter safely, and Zhu Di, who brought them food, is their god.

"From now on, this king will have the final say in the Western Regions. Last time you followed this king, you made a lot of money. In the future, this king will take you to continue. Is there any Xiban family?"

Zhu Di asked.

Gui Lichi hurriedly yelled.

One of the chiefs scrambled forward.

"King Khan, he belongs to the Xiban family, but he is following me now."

Gui Lichi said.

Zhu Di looked at this guy.

"Who are you from Yue Jibiehan?"

he asked.

"King Khan, he is the great-grandson of Yuejibie Khan."

Gui Lichi said quickly.

It is obvious that this Saipan family does not understand Chinese.

"So, do you want to be Khan of the Golden Horde like your great-grandfather?"

Zhu Di asked with a smile.
