Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 311 Chen You dies, Chen You case comes to an end, and the tightening curse takes effect again
The gate of Qianqing Palace has been closed for a long time.
Just opened.
Feng Xiao cautiously came in to serve, but Gong E, who was holding the lantern, tripped over the door and fell to the ground. The exquisite porcelain palace lantern shattered to the ground.
Gong'e knelt on the ground in fear and begged for mercy.
"What are you going to do? Clean it up quickly, quit and serve!" Feng Xiao was worried that the emperor was in a bad mood and would anger the palace people.
Zhu Qiyu raised his eyes: "Be careful next time. Don't use porcelain for palace lanterns. If it breaks, it will easily pierce your hands. Go ahead."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!" Gong E kowtowed repeatedly.
As we all know, the emperor was very generous to his palace people.
Occasionally, when someone in the palace made a mistake, instead of punishing him, he changed the system. There were many rumors among the people that "the emperor favored his slaves".
Because of this, the people in the palace were very arrogant and committed many crimes outside the palace.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department often have suggestions for reporting.
Although Zhu Qiyu said that he wanted to regulate the palace people, he was just talking about it, which made the palace people very domineering and even looked down upon by the officials.
"Your Majesty, should we recover Zhongzhi?" Feng Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Catching it back also messed up the layout."
"My layout has been damaged, but it doesn't matter. I can see the people's hearts."
Zhu Qiyu couldn't be happy: "How much has been eliminated?"
"Back to your Majesty, since the beginning of the new year, 117 million people have been moved away. According to your instructions, the best fields and the best shops have been allocated in Cochin. The internal funds have also been replenished with a batch of silver coins. Each family is allocated at least one Native slave.”
In the blink of an eye, it is already June of 11 in Jingtai.
"How many people have come to Jiaozhi? Tell the truth." Zhu Qiyu doesn't like to report good news but not bad news.
"Back to your Majesty, 97 people got off the ship safely, and some got sick after getting off the ship. There should be 83 people who were allocated land."
After removing 117 million people, only 83 people were left alive to get the land.
Immigration is indeed the bloodiest thing.
There must be some people engaging in fraud here, and there may not be more than 80 people alive.
But the loss is too great!
"Five more silver coins to each family, no, ten!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Each person will be given an extra pound of land, an extra set of houses, and a set of farm tools and an iron pot."
"Your Majesty, there are so many people, I'm afraid the land won't be enough." Feng Xiao clicked his tongue, this is another huge expense.
"It doesn't matter. If Annan is not enough, just borrow it from Laos and Cambodia."
"Aren't these two countries out to take advantage?"
"Let them know that Ming Dynasty's advantages are not so easy to take advantage of."
"Pay it back with your life!"
"We will advertise in the south of the Yangtze River again. Anyone who is willing to immigrate to Cochin Province will be given three plots of land. They will be exempted from taxes for ten years. They will be given farm tools and iron pots. Those who don't have a wife will be given a wife. As long as they are willing to go, they will be given everything."
Feng Xiao dare not speak.
The farmland in Jiaozhi has been calculated, and the cultivated land is about 37 acres, which is 3.7 acres.
If one person is divided into three parts, more than 1 people will be divided.
Emperor, isn't this a joke?
But everyone could see that the emperor was already angry because of the heavy losses. Feng Xiao did not dare to persuade him, but he was also secretly annoyed at those transport ships. Why did they lose so many people?
"Are you stupid? The statistics show the cultivated land. How much raw land is left? Won't it be developed?"
"Now we have put out a list. Those who are willing to go will have to go to Jiaozhi at least next year."
"In this year, Zhu Ying hasn't reclaimed a lot of land?"
"And the newly arrived people will also be expropriated to cultivate land. If this is repeated, won't the number of acres in Jiaozhi increase?"
Zhu Qiyu believed in Zhu Ying's ability.
"How many people have not been removed?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"Back to your Majesty, the Chuzhou, Hezhou, Taiping, Ningguo, Guangzhou, and Zhenjiang Prefectures near Yingtian Prefecture have all been cleared."
Feng Xiao replied: "There are still 77 people waiting to be sent to Jiaozhi."
"On the transport ship carrying the decree, all Han people who are transported to Jiaozhi will be rewarded with a penny for each person who gets off the ship alive, and the boss of the ship will be fined one tael of silver for each person who dies on the ship. It will be calculated as soon as they get off the ship. There will be no arrears. Whether they make a profit or lose, let them decide for themselves. "
"The decree was sent to the receiving points in various places in Jiaozhi. Han people who settled alive would be rewarded with a penny, and if they died, they would be fined with a tael of silver. The settlement will be made immediately after settling, and there will be no arrears."
"Encourage private merchants to engage in transport ship business and send all the Han people to Jiaozhi!"
"These are criminals in the south of the Yangtze River, but when they go to Jiaozhi, they are made of gold! I don't allow them to die, so they have to live!"
"Another imperial decree was issued in Jiaozhi. Anyone who dares to harm Han people can be killed by anyone. Anyone who kills Han people should send troops to destroy his tribe! We will never tolerate it!"
Zhu Qiyu's evil fire spread to Jiaozhi.
"Issue a slave license to the people immigrating to Cochin, allowing them to sell slaves."
"Your Majesty, are you going to issue them all?" Feng Xiao thought it was a bit ridiculous. How many millions of licenses are there?
"Issuing them all, just mark the validity period. The first batch of licenses will be valid for ten years. After ten years, they will be issued as appropriate."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Those who do not have a slave trade certificate are not allowed to trade slaves. Those who sell slaves privately will be killed!"
You are trying to sell out Indochina.
"Lin Cong has done well in Henan. He has removed the governor of Henan and restored the old system in Henan."
"Transfer troops from Yu Qian to form the Nanhai Division. Lin Cong was transferred to the Nanhai Division and became the chief military officer of the Nanhai Division."
"Remove Wang Wei, the governor of Shanxi, and restore the old system in Shanxi."
"Deployed troops from Yu Qian and established the Jiaozhi Navy. Wang Wei served as the chief military officer of the Jiaozhi Navy."
"After the Nanhai and Jiaozhi naval divisions are completed, we must cooperate to clear out the Japanese pirates along the route and open up the waterways from Jiaozhi to Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Tsushima Island."
When Feng Xiao heard about Wang Wei, he thought of Xiang Wenyao.
The emperor reduced Wang Wei's power and then kicked Wang Wei to Jiaozhi. At the same time, he also reduced the military power in Yu Qian's hands.
Obviously, the emperor's tight spell on Yu Qian was ineffective, so the emperor began to reduce his power to prevent Yu Qian from jumping out of Beijing.
That's why the emperor pretended to be angry about the bloody immigration, but he was actually pointing his sword at Yu Qian.
Yu Qian opened up the situation in the northwest, and the emperor used the southeast to cut off Yu Qian's power.
"This slave will go to Beijing to deliver the message." Feng Xiao kowtowed.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips curled up: "Deploy Yi Ming out of the capital and establish the Fujian Navy. Yi Ming will be appointed as the chief military officer."
The naval power in Yu Qian's hands was completely eliminated.
"Feng Xiao, write a secret letter to Kou Shen, saying that I heard that the fruits in Turpan are very sweet and I want to eat them."
No matter how powerful the Chen You case is, the emperor can calm it down with just one word.
The emperor's decree has to be sent to Beijing, and it must be stamped by the cabinet before it can be promulgated to the world. In the past, the emperor could go through it directly when he was in Beijing.
Now it needs to be sent from Nanjing to Beijing and then promulgated to the world.
Lin Cong from Henan has already received the news in advance.
The emperor ordered him to take charge of the army.
The meaning is clear, Nanhai Navy is very important and he does not trust others.
There is another layer, the central fire is cooking oil, and I don’t want Lin Cong, an outspoken fool, to get in and mess up. This is a situation set by the emperor, and no one is allowed to mess up.
In fact, Lin Cong did well in Henan.
Henan is located in the Central Plains. It is not close to the sea and does not have large areas of pasture. There is not enough food to eat. Where can we find the land to plant fruit trees?Canned fruits didn’t take off either.
But Henan has become the richest province in the Central Plains.
Because Henan people carry forward the spirit of being willing to endure hardships, canned fruits have become popular, and Henan has been working hard to produce clay pots for canning.
Canned meat is popular again, and Henan’s clay pots have surpassed Jingdezhen and Dehua to become the best-selling clay pots.
In two years, there were thousands of pottery pot factories in Henan.
The profits of the clay pot business were already slim, and with so many businesses opened, by the time Jingtai was ten years old, the business of each business was no longer good. Looking at the excitement, who knew who was doing it?
Moreover, clay pots have no technical content and can be made anywhere.
After careful consideration, Lin Cong sent people to learn how to make glass, encouraged the private sector to build glass factories and porcelain factories, and encouraged Henan to use glass jars and porcelain jars to roll their own.
Sure enough, a number of pottery pot factories were killed, and the reputation of Henan pottery was also destroyed.
As he got richer, canned fish was invented.
Henan merchants discovered business opportunities. We have no mutton or fish, but we have pork!
Pork canneries appeared in Henan.
Pork tastes fishy, so use more spices. Henan is in the middle of the world, close to everything, and the shipping cost is low.
Canned pork is cheaper than canned mutton, so sales naturally increase.
The taste is not that great though.
But on a hot day, how can people eat meat? Having meat to eat is already the happiest day.
No matter how low the price of canned food is, it is still not within the reach of ordinary people.
During the holidays, it would be nice to have two cans.
And Henan is a place where the world meets, so canned food requires sugar.People in Henan grew beets and relied on sugar to open up the market. Henan sugar was popular all over the world.
At the beginning of Jingtai 11, Lin Cong built several more briquette factories.
The price of coal was too high and people could not afford it, so briquettes came into being. Briquettes, which are made from cinders and coal, are low-priced and save materials.
Governors all over the world received the briquette formula.
It was made public by the emperor.
But Henan does it best.
These are Lin Cong's political achievements, which brought the tree selling industry, container industry, pork canning industry, and restaurant industry to Henan.
Henan is in the middle of the world, and all merchants from all over the world pass through Henan, so it is the most profitable to open a restaurant. After the north and the south met, Henan cuisine was formed.
Lin Cong is about to step down as governor of Henan.
With his merits, he could be admitted to the cabinet and the six ministries, but the emperor asked him to go to the south to command the army. It means a lot.
He saw Bai Gui's fate and knew that it was not the time for him to return to the center.
When a civil servant becomes a relative, he will inevitably be criticized.
But Yu Qian was too cruel and beat Bai Gui to a disability, while the civil service group stood by and watched, which made Lin Cong feel chilled.
If a relative is not attached to the emperor, he may not have any room in the court.
So he will obediently go to the south and take charge of the navy of the South China Sea.
In addition to the rising central party disputes, he was also thinking, why did the emperor let him take charge of the army?
The emperor was most afraid of not distinguishing between civil and military affairs. He was wary of military generals and even more wary of civilian officials.
He is broad-minded on the outside and cautious on the inside, and broad-minded. As long as it can contribute to his eternal imperial career, he is willing to give maximum authority and let others do whatever they want.
But once his sensitive nerves are touched, he will immediately take back his authority without hesitation. No matter how great the loss is, he will not hesitate to cut it off.
This time, the emperor actually asked him, a civilian, to take charge of the army.
Mingren had no special feeling for the ocean, and even dismissed it. Lin Cong went to the Navy to command the army, which felt a bit like being relegated.
He asked for a map.
The South China Sea, which controls Jiaozhi in the south and Lingnan in the north, is the top priority on the sea.
Combined with the fact that the emperor was immigrating to Cochin, he was actively developing Cochin.
Then the Nanhai Navy is crucial. Once there is a change in Cochin, the Nanhai Navy can strangle the water channel and quickly transport troops to Cochin to quell the rebellion.
Was the emperor just worried about losing Jiaozhi?
Look at Yu Qian's party member Wang Wei. He became the chief military officer of the Jiaozhi Navy. If Jiaozhi wanted to connect to the inland, it had to pass through the South China Sea.
This is using him, Lin Cong, to hold Wang Wei hostage.
The Nanhai Navy was so important that it had to be controlled by the emperor's confidants. Therefore, the emperor broke the inherent idea of dividing the civil and military divisions and used civilian officials to control the navy.
It may not be that he is worried that the military commander will be out of the emperor's control.
The navy must first be organized and tightly controlled by the emperor, and then it can be safely distributed to generals, who can take charge of the army on their behalf.
After Lin Cong thought it through, he calmly waited for the imperial edict to be handed over smoothly.
Shanxi.
This province was almost forgotten by Zhu Qiyu, but this province has shouldered the important task of guarding the center for more than 100 years.
Since the eighth year of Jingtai, Shanxi has expanded to two prefectures.
Shanxi can be said to be enjoying the spring breeze.
Most of the former Shanxi merchants immigrated to Ningxia. Wang Wei, Yu Shan, and Yu Gang successively immigrated 40 to Ningxia, 20 to Gansu, and nearly one million people were removed from Shanxi.
With the rise of the coal business, new merchants took coal as their basis and prospered again.
The land of great wealth in the north was first called Shanxi.
Jin people were originally good at doing business. Although their roots were interrupted by the imperial court, with the rise of the coal industry, Shanxi merchants rose again, and they can be found all over the world.
Whatever industries emerge in Beijing, industries will pop up in Shanxi.
Because Shanxi people are rich.
Only when there is consumption capacity, industries will rise, mobilizing the entire Shanxi's finances.
The Shanxi Army is the main component of the Ningxia Army, Gansu Army, and Rehe Army.
There were 70 guards in Shanxi's various guard posts at their peak. After various mobilizations, the Shanxi army still had 23. The emperor's southern tour mainly drew border troops from Shanxi.
With a large number of Shanxi people immigrating to the northwest, Shanxi people have fellow villagers everywhere. They have done business in Gansu and Ningxia, and the furthest one has reached Turpan.
This province, which had been neglected by the emperor, was regaining its vitality and vigorously competing with Henan for the throne of the richest province in the north.
Shanxi even has the idea of competing with Jiangnan to see who is rich.
Wang Wei resigned, and Yu Shan and Yu Gang were about to return to the capital.
They also know about the chaos in the center.
The Hanzong case, the Yaoshu case, and the Chen You case happened frequently. There were signs of party strife in the center and the situation was chaotic.
Yu Shan also wrote a secret memorial and sent it to the emperor.
Explain the possibility and harm of party strife.
However, the emperor never replied.
This made Yu Shan's heart sink. The situation of party struggle was started by the emperor himself. What was the purpose?
Yu Qian!
Use party struggle to control Yu Qian?
It shouldn't be. Although Yu Qian is in charge of the army, he is in the center. How can he still rebel?
It's not Yu Qian.
Combined with what the emperor did in Jiangnan, why did the emperor hate the Jiangnan gentry so deeply?
The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are very obedient to the central government. They pay taxes when they are asked to pay them and behead their heads when they are asked to do so.
Yu Shan couldn't figure out why.
But he didn't want to get into the big dye vat of the central government and see what would happen to Yu Shiyue. This unlucky guy who the emperor didn't care for and the central government didn't love was brought out to investigate the case, and finally kicked out to take the blame.
His Yu Shan's situation was not as good as Yu Shiyue's.
The emperor ignored Yu Shiyue and had a bad impression of Yu Shan.
If he goes, isn't he just going to be a target?
The emperor probably had this idea and asked Yu Shan to go to Beijing to be the scapegoat.
Therefore, Yu Shan wrote a letter to resign and pretended to be ill in Luzhou, refusing to return to Beijing.
Yu Gang is also smart.
With three cases happening frequently, someone must be the scapegoat.
All the masters in charge of the center are the emperor's favorites. If you are reluctant to kill any of them, then you have to let him top the cylinder.
Therefore, Yu Gang fell ill in Pingding Prefecture on his way back to Beijing and stayed in Pingding Prefecture to recuperate.
Wang Wei, who set out to go south, scolded them on the way for not being loyal.
Immediately go to His Majesty Shu and ask the emperor to send imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to diagnose and treat them, so as to save them from pretending to be sick.
Of course Wang Wei was anxious.
He is Yu Qian's party member.
Three cases occur frequently, so there must be a scapegoat. Aren't Yu Shan and Yu Gang the best scapegoats?
Yu Shan's resignation letter was sent to the cabinet, and it was Yao Kui who wrote it. He smiled knowingly and wrote down his rejection.
Please ask the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to go to Shanxi to take care of two elders.
Shanxi is just west of the capital, and communication can be reached in one day.
When Yu Shan and Yu Gang received the reply, their minds exploded with a bang. Yao Kui was really damaged and they had to go back to Beijing to take the blame.
Yu Gang was the most ruthless. He destroyed the windows and really caught himself a cold, pretending to be critically ill and dying.
The imperial doctor kept his eyes open and got him up with just a dose of medicine.
Then he carried it back to Beijing.
Yu Shan and Yu Gang looked at each other at the gate of the capital, tears streaming down their faces. Why is life so miserable?
The person who cried more than their lives was Chen You.
Chen You was escorted back to Beijing. As soon as he left, Turpan was lost, which confirmed the crime of secretly occupying Turpan.
The two of them entered Beijing in the morning, and Chen You entered Beijing in the afternoon.
The good Marquis of Shazhou became a sinner.
He was taken to Dali Temple and interrogated by the five judges. Zhou Xuan served as the chief interrogator, and Li Shi, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, served as the deputy interrogator.
"The Turpan leaders are not satisfied with Mansuer's oppression of power."
"So I secretly persuaded these leaders to submit to the Ming Dynasty."
"It happened to be the birthday party of Ahema, the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Mansu'er returned home to celebrate his birthday, so I took advantage of the opportunity and conquered the cities of Turpan."
Chen You told me everything.
He admitted that he had indeed discussed the issue of co-management with Mansuer.
But that was for the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. He also reached an agreement with Mansu'er to help Mansu'er seek the position of khan. In return, he was willing to give up the territory of Huoshan to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Xuan and Li Shi looked at each other.
The territory at Huoshanling is twenty times larger than Turpan. Although there are deserts crisscrossing it, it is, after all, the ancient land of the Western Regions.
During the interrogation, Chen You felt unwell and asked an imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment. The interrogation was interrupted.
The record of the first trial was sent to the cabinet.
"I said before that if Chen You really has merit, who will be responsible?" Yao Kui pointed his sword at Yu Qian.
Yu Qian pointed to the piece of paper: "Can you get away with just a few words?"
"Qing Zhou Si, I would like to ask you this."
"Have you ever asked Chen You? After Chen You occupied Turpan, do you know how many feet the land in Turpan is? How much arable land? How many pastures? How many people are there? How many big cities and how many small cities are there?"
Yu Qian sneered: "Don't you even ask these basic questions?"
"If Turpan was captured by our army, how could it be that Turpan was lost again just because Chen You left?"
"Look, I, Chief Assistant, there is something wrong with Chen Youzhi's military exploits."
Yu Qian bit Chen You to death and there was something wrong with his military exploits.
The emperor's methods were sharper.
If you defeat me, I will first transfer your people and then reduce your military power.
The emperor and Yu Qian, one in the south and the other in the north, came and went. The courtiers saw that Yu Qian was still the best.
The emperor is an emperor who holds a lot of imperial power. Yu Qian can still compete with the emperor, but everyone else will have to kneel down and beg for mercy as soon as the emperor's power weakens.Therefore, the civil servants were surprisingly unanimous in supporting Yu Qian on the issue of Yu Qian's confrontation with the emperor.
"Reporting to the Chief Assistant, Chen You is very old and has hurriedly returned to Beijing. His body can't bear it anymore. We have hired an imperial doctor to nurse him back to health."
Although Zhou Xuan specializes in solving crimes, he also sees that the Chen You case is more inclined to political injustice, which is not his area of expertise.
The chief minister of the dynasty bit Chen You to death.
Civil officials formed a new group and collectively opposed the chief minister.
"Then I'll ask again in a few days."
Yu Qian looked at Zhou Hongmo: "Can the Supervision Department send someone to investigate and combine the merits? Is it true or false?"
"How to check the cooperation? The military department of the Supervision Department was lost in Turpan just after arriving in Gansu. How to check the merits?"
Even if the Supervision Department has changed its name, it still retains the role of the Six Sections.
The six subjects are Kedao and the official is the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Now the Sixth Section has been changed to the Supervision Department, and the Three Laws Department has become the Five Laws Department.
"There is nothing to check. Chen You did an incredible job." The corners of Yu Qian's lips raised.
The northwest is in chaos. If Mansu'er is smart, he will send troops into Hami and take away Hami. Gansu's hard work over the past year will be lost.
Moreover, use Kou Shen to fight.
Kou Shen was originally engaged in oil extraction, and Yao Kui was mainly responsible for the oil extraction and road paving work. This was also something that harmed Yao Kui.
Yu Qian sounded the clarion call for counterattack.
However, cabinet officials hurried in: "Something happened, Chen You is dead!"
what?
All the important ministers in the cabinet stood up, including Yu Qian, knowing that something bad had happened.
You can pour dirty water on Chen You's head, and you can concoct Chen You's case.
However, Chen You has made great contributions to the country after all.
Chen You also has another identity, the sacrificial wine of Jiangwu Hall, and most of the disciples of Jiangwu Hall are from his disciples.
The reason why Yu Qian chose Chen You was because Chen You couldn't defeat him.
There are a large number of martial arts students behind Chen You to support him. If Chen You falls down once, after finding out, the emperor will rise again.
These turned out to be good and made Chen You angry to death.
Once Chen You dies, the students from the Jiangwu Hall behind him will definitely seek justice for their teacher. Chen You's case will inevitably be investigated. How will Yu Qian deal with himself then?
Don't think that the emperor will still protect Yu Qian, no!
If you have a bad reputation, I won’t feel at ease!
Originally, the case of Chen You asked Yu Qian to part the clouds and see the moonlight. When Chen You died, it was self-defeating and it became dark.
"Is he dead? Or about to die?" Yu Qian asked anxiously.
"already dead!"
Finished!
Yu Qian immediately began to think of remedial measures. He could not quarrel with the emperor and must make peace with the emperor. The only one who could save him at this time was the emperor.
But what does the emperor want?
Want his life?
Absolutely not. The emperor was ambitious and confident enough to surrender him, so there was no need to kill him.
Want to take back your title?No, the emperor gave him the title by force, just to make him the head of the lords.
No matter what, if he doesn't take back his title, he will take back his civil rights!
This position of chief assistant is Yu Qian's final glory.
He is a civil servant at heart, and he is a civil servant from the inside out.
He has always been unwilling to be a military general, and he is not willing to let his children and grandchildren become military generals. This is Yu Qian's glory.
However, when the time comes, he must give up his civil power.
Why are Yao Kui, Geng Jiuchou and others staring at him? It is this position of chief minister that makes civil servants feel uncomfortable. You are a prince and you are the chief minister. What the hell!
Therefore, Yu Qian must leave the cabinet and become his Duke Xing.
Isn't this what the emperor wanted?
The emperor could convince the civil officials to stand on the same front as the emperor. In the final analysis, it was Yu Qian who occupied the position of chief minister.
"Send Chen You home first and bury him properly. Dali Temple will continue to investigate." Yu Qian said with a strong breath.
Geng Jiuchou looked at Yu Qian, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
He and Wang Fu looked at each other and saw each other's expressions of joy.
Yao Kui breathed a sigh of relief. Chen You died just right. If he died on the road, it would not have this effect.
This game is wonderful.
The important ministers of the cabinet dispersed, and Zhou Xuan and Li Shi walked out of the cabinet one after another.
"Yushi Zuodu..." Zhou Xuan's eyes were sharp.
Li Shi stopped slightly, raised the kerosene lamp, and illuminated Zhou Xuan's cheek: "Qing Zhou Si, what's the matter?"
"Chen You is in good health. Although he is tired from traveling and traveling, he will not die suddenly."
At this point, Zhou Xuan stopped talking and asked in a low voice: "Yushi Zuodu, can this matter still be investigated?"
"What do you mean by Zhou Siqing's words? Didn't the Chief Assistant say it? It should be investigated."
Li Shi had a smile on his face.
But this smile made Zhou Xuan shudder.
Chen You has no signs of death!
But suddenly died!
His death brought huge benefits to all parties, and people had to doubt the true cause of Chen You's death!
"Qing Zhou Si, you are a smart man, think carefully." Li Shi carried the kerosene lamp and got on the sedan chair.
Zhou Xuan stood frozen on the spot.
The Chen You case caught everyone off guard, including the emperor.
However, the way to break the situation is for Chen You to die in vain!
After Chen You died, the title of Marquis of Shazhou was retained.
Everything Yu Qian did was in vain, and everything returned to the starting point.
It can even take away Yu Qian's position as a civil servant, completely integrate him into the ranks of military commanders, and no longer allow him to be involved in civil servant affairs, making way for civil servants, making the emperor feel at ease, and everyone is happy.
There is also a huge benefit.
That is to say, Yu Qian, Yao Kui and other civil servants formed an antagonistic relationship.
And the ultimate beneficiary of all these benefits points to one person, the emperor far away in Nanjing!
ten days later.
An imperial edict came from the emperor in Nanjing: "Chen You's meritorious service is confirmed, his reward remains unchanged, he will remain the Marquis of Shazhou, and he will be given a third-generation certificate, and his eldest son will inherit the title."
"After the Ming army captured Turpan, a statue was built for Chen You in Turpan, and temples were built in Hami and Turpan to enjoy incense and permanently commemorate Chen You's achievements."
"Censor Qin Hong's inspections are unclear, but as an official in charge of science and education, he has the power to inspect the world. This is his duty. He will be fined three years' salary and demoted to Jiaozhi as the prefect."
"The supervisory envoy Zhou Hongmo has no idea about the people he employs, and lacks the ability to recognize people and the means to distinguish their merits. He is demoted to the deputy supervisory envoy and is fined one year's salary and spends a month in isolation."
"Yu Qian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, acted arbitrarily, and allowed the heroes to die in vain. He took away his position as the chief assistant of the cabinet. However, I am not in the center, and I still need the cabinet to assist me. Yu Qian is temporarily serving in the cabinet, but he cannot make decisions with just one word. If important things happen again , decided by a vote by the cabinet ministers.”
"The case of Chen You is nothing but a mistake made by the officials of the Department of Education. The officials of the Department of Education will serve as a warning to others and never make the same mistake again."
See the edict.
Zhou Xuan understood it all.
Chen You died a worthy death, and used his death to keep the title of marquis. His unfilial children and grandchildren would find it difficult to rebuild his achievements, so his greatest wish was to save a title for his children and grandchildren.
As for Yu Qian, as the Duke of Xing, he occupies the position of chief minister of the cabinet and blocks the way of many people.
So Yu Qian was removed from his post.
And Zhou Hongmo, who came to the surface, was directly demoted by the emperor.
It seems that among all the officials, only Zhou Hongmo was dealt with the most severely. Because he was originally promoted by the emperor, but he got into Yu Qian's arms, so the emperor gave him a blow on the head to let him sober up.
Qin Hong seemed to be relegated, but in fact he went to Jiaozhi to fulfill his ambitions.
This also shows that Qin Hong is the emperor's confidant.
But why did the Chen You case start with Qin Hong?Did Qin Hong really speak out and impartially, or was he bribed by someone?
Review the entire Chen You case.
When it first broke out, the emperor was also caught off guard.
See how the emperor turned defeat into victory?
When Lin Cong was transferred, Wang Wei was also transferred.
Yu Qian's ability to control the northwest relies on his party member Wang Wei.
Transferring Wang Wei broke Yu Qian's arm, making it impossible for the Chen You case concocted by Yu Qian to continue, because without Wang Wei, Yu Qian could not control Turpan.
In this way, Chen You was no longer controlled by Wang Wei on his way back to Beijing, but instead was controlled by the emperor.
After the emperor transferred Wang Wei, he used his confidant Li Shi.
In the cabinet, it was Geng Jiuchou who asked Li Shi to serve as deputy judge.
Yu Qian had not doubted Li Shi, because in the Hanzong case and the demon book case, Li Shi remained unobtrusive and did not fully take sides.
But at the critical moment, Li Shi stood on the emperor's side and gave Yu Qian a fatal blow.
Li Shi persuaded Chen You to commit suicide.
Chen You committed suicide, causing Chen You's case to collapse.
The emperor was victorious.
Zhu Qiyu in Nanjing was not happy at all: "The star has fallen."
"I promised Chen You at the beginning and told him that I would let him personally command the army and regain his hometown. I would make him a marquis in the name of his hometown!"
"I broke my promise and gained weight."
The more famous generals, the better. Although Chen You was not a famous general during the war, he was still a good general.
"Your Majesty, you have also fulfilled his wish."
"If we continue to investigate, there's a good chance we won't even be able to save the earl."
"After this case, no matter how hard Marquis Chen tries, he may not be able to command an army."
"It is better to be loyal to the country than to die of illness."
"It's a worthy death."
Feng Xiao comforted the emperor.
"Yes, even if he is found to be innocent, there is no hope of recovery."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The Central Committee will not believe a tainted person. Besides, he is 79 years old. How many years can he live?"
"Did he have any last words before he died?"
Feng Xiao shook his head. Who would listen to a sinner's last words over such a trivial matter?
"That's all, let's give it a good posthumous title." Zhu Qiyu didn't think about it anymore.
The power to confer posthumous titles was in the hands of civil servants, and the emperor had no control over it.
This was a confrontation between him in Nanjing and Yu Qian in Beijing.
Chen You is just a victim.
"When Chen You died, Turpan was lost again. It's a pity."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Give the cabinet an order and select a famous general to take charge of the army in Gansu. Kou Shen is not young anymore, so stop running around on the front line."
Feng Xiao's eyes flashed. Was the emperor worried about Kou Shen's health?
"Send people from the palace to appease the emotions of the students in the martial arts hall. Don't stop eating because of choking. You should learn your skills well for the future."
Feng Xiao's pupils shrank, the emperor wanted to use the hands of the students in the martial arts hall to cut off Yu Qian's glory.
Students from the martial arts hall will become the mainstay of the military in the future.
Chen You's death can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
He suddenly became a little afraid of the emperor.
The emperor rarely shows his true face, and only occasionally does he reveal his true face on special occasions...
"It's so hot in Nanjing."
Zhu Qiyu is a northerner who really can't get used to living in the south and can't stand the summer in the south.
And in Jiaozhi, Jiaozhou.
Fang Ying kowtowed to receive the imperial edict. Everyone recognized Fang Ying's contribution and was granted the title of Duke of Jiao.
The fourth Duke of the Ming Dynasty was born.
Use the word "Jiao" to highlight Fang Ying's military exploits.
The original Hanoi, which is now Xinjiaozhou, created statues of Fang Ying, Tao Cheng, Xia Xun, Bian Yong and others, which echoed the Annam Palace in a distant way, killing people and punishing people.
The treasures of the Annan and Champa royal families were all sent to Beijing.
It is said that the emperor planned to build a garden to display the trophies.
Fang Ying has completed the handover with Zhu Ying, and Zhu Ying stationed in Jiaozhi New Province to govern Huanzhou.
Fang Ying is on her way back to Guangxi.
He knew very well that after being awarded the title of Duke, the official position of Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi would also be removed. He would return to Beijing to retire, unless there was a special war that required him to fight.
Fang Ying knew very well that in the past three years, he had made too many meritorious deeds and was promoted too quickly. He needed time to digest the results and establish a new position among the nobles.
This is what the emperor wants to see. The Duke of the country has the usage of the Duke of the country.
Although he is in the south, he knows everything about the capital.
Three cases occurred frequently in the capital, and the Chen You case was obviously concocted by Yu Qian in an attempt to resist.
The emperor turned defeat into victory and reduced his civil power, leaving only Wu Xun and Xing Guogong.
Therefore, the emperor needed him, Fang Ying, the Duke of Duke, to return to the capital, hold Yu Qian hostage, and share Yu Qian's military power.
It is foreseeable that things are not going well for the emperor in Nanjing, and it may take a long time before he can return.
This was the reason why they urgently held the North hostage and firmly controlled the center.
It is estimated that when the emperor returns to Luan, he will preside over the princess's wedding. This was the bargaining chip used to win him over in the first place, and it is time to cash it in.
He was going back to kidnap Yu Qian. This task was hundreds of times more difficult than annexing Annan.
As soon as she left Jiaozhou and entered Guangxi, Fang Ying wrote to the central government, claiming that she was in poor health and wanted to request to be admitted to Beijing for recuperation.
After three requests and three concessions, he will return to the capital.
Guangxi and Guangdong have become full of vitality since they were transformed into Han Dynasty.
Guangdong is the center of water transportation in the world. The emperor designated an area in Guangzhou Bay called Hong Kong, the opposite side was called Macau, the inner side of Hong Kong was called Shenzhen, and the inner side of Macau was called Zhuhai.
A large area of cities has sprung up.
Guangdong and Guangxi are prosperous, and there is no need for governors to suppress anything.
Huanzhou.
Zhu Ying took office as governor of Cochin, and his top priority was to resettle immigrants first, and capture slaves second.
Since taking office, a total of 177 million people have been transported from Jiangnan.
Just by looking at their clothes and temperament, you can tell that these people are all gentry. These people are inextricably related to the officials of the dynasty.
Only 80 people were properly resettled in the first batch at the beginning of the year, and the casualty rate was extremely high.
The losses in the second and third waves were very small, with almost no casualties. Each ship was equipped with enough doctors and medicines, and the personnel were not densely packed.
After disembarking, everything was settled by the newly formed government in Cochin.
The most fertile land and the best shops were selected and distributed to the Han people.
In the first two years, there was no need to grow food, Jiaozhi distributed the food to eat, and there was no need to work by oneself, just capture slaves to work.
All places are resettled according to the regulations promised by the central government.
A large area of land, real estate, shops, a slave, a slave trade certificate, and an additional knife and a crossbow that had been eliminated from the army.
There are few slaves, because they have to be captured by soldiers. The losses in capturing slaves are great, and the soldiers are unwilling to capture them. The only choice is for the Cochin government to come forward and find native people to buy them.
After the massacre, out of the original more than 70 Guangxi troops, 64 were disarmed and returned to their fields, becoming Jiaozhi civilians.
These Jiangnan gentry scolded the emperor to death along the way.
After getting off the boat, I realized that Cochin is paradise.
Although the family fortune is gone, one can quickly become rich with a slave trade certificate.
However, more and more Han people are immigrating. Every day, countless boats dock at the pier, and countless Han people disembark.
In a few years, Cochin will be rolled up.
Originally, large numbers of captives were to be sent to the Flood Control Department to control the Yellow River. Now that large numbers of Han people were brought in, they could only be given to these Han people as slaves.
Xia Xun was in the southern part of Jiaozhi, cleaning up the remaining forces in Annan and Champa.
These Jiangnan gentry actually asked Xia Xun to do business and asked Xia Xun to capture these people and sell them as slaves.
When Zhu Ying was worried about the distribution of slaves to the Han people, Hao Xuan suggested that Zhu Ying could go to Cambodia as an envoy and order Cambodia to sell a group of slaves to the Ming Dynasty.
"Is that bad?"
Daming has bullied others enough.
The food for the army and the food for immigrants were all borne by the three countries. They also asked the three countries to send a group of people to help Cochin farm.
The Three Kingdoms also disagreed. After Zhu Ying came, he fought dozens of small battles with them, and the Ming army won all.
When Fang Ying was in charge of Jiaozhi affairs, he fought every day.
"If I am willing to go to Cambodia as an envoy, I will persuade Cambodia to sell 50 slaves to the Ming Dynasty! No, [-]!"
Hao Xuan's tone was quite serious.
"It's best to sell each of the three countries for 50 yuan." Zhu Ying was also worried.
Hao Xuan rolled his eyes wildly. The weakest of the three countries is Cambodia. When the kingdom is weak, Cambodia is the easiest to cooperate with Ming Dynasty.
The emperor regarded Jiaozhi as a reservoir in the south of the Yangtze River.
The Jiangnan gentry, both guilty and innocent, were all moved to Jiaozhi and had to be resettled properly.
After the Jiangnan gentry tasted the benefits, let alone farming, they were too embarrassed to come out to meet people if they had hundreds of slaves in their family.
This resulted in the price of slaves skyrocketing.
The mainland is still clamoring for people.
Slaves are really scarce.
Zhu Ying knew that the emperor expected to immigrate more than 500 million people, and it was very likely that tens of millions of people would immigrate.
So, Jiaozhi alone will definitely not be able to support so many people.
This is thinking about the territory of the Three Kingdoms.
The emperor was not worried about rebellion either. He seemed to have forgotten that the Guangxi Army had been disbanded and the rest were on the verge of disbandment.
The Ming Dynasty was in Jiaozhi and there were no strong soldiers.
Zhu Ying wrote a secret memorial to the emperor, asking him to send a large army south to guard Jiaozhi.
Hao Xuan became addicted to being a diplomatic envoy and traveled across mountains and rivers to persuade the King of Cambodia to sell slaves to the Ming Dynasty.
When the rainy season passes, the Chi Road to Guangxi will be built.
However, the central government gave him an order to find oil and build roads with asphalt. The asphalt road can also be walked normally in the rainy season.
With asphalt roads, Daming and Jiaozhi will not be isolated from each other because of the rainy season.
But Zhu Ying sent people to look for it, but they couldn't find any oil at all. Is there any oil here?
(End of this chapter)
The gate of Qianqing Palace has been closed for a long time.
Just opened.
Feng Xiao cautiously came in to serve, but Gong E, who was holding the lantern, tripped over the door and fell to the ground. The exquisite porcelain palace lantern shattered to the ground.
Gong'e knelt on the ground in fear and begged for mercy.
"What are you going to do? Clean it up quickly, quit and serve!" Feng Xiao was worried that the emperor was in a bad mood and would anger the palace people.
Zhu Qiyu raised his eyes: "Be careful next time. Don't use porcelain for palace lanterns. If it breaks, it will easily pierce your hands. Go ahead."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!" Gong E kowtowed repeatedly.
As we all know, the emperor was very generous to his palace people.
Occasionally, when someone in the palace made a mistake, instead of punishing him, he changed the system. There were many rumors among the people that "the emperor favored his slaves".
Because of this, the people in the palace were very arrogant and committed many crimes outside the palace.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Supervision Department often have suggestions for reporting.
Although Zhu Qiyu said that he wanted to regulate the palace people, he was just talking about it, which made the palace people very domineering and even looked down upon by the officials.
"Your Majesty, should we recover Zhongzhi?" Feng Xiao asked in a low voice.
"Catching it back also messed up the layout."
"My layout has been damaged, but it doesn't matter. I can see the people's hearts."
Zhu Qiyu couldn't be happy: "How much has been eliminated?"
"Back to your Majesty, since the beginning of the new year, 117 million people have been moved away. According to your instructions, the best fields and the best shops have been allocated in Cochin. The internal funds have also been replenished with a batch of silver coins. Each family is allocated at least one Native slave.”
In the blink of an eye, it is already June of 11 in Jingtai.
"How many people have come to Jiaozhi? Tell the truth." Zhu Qiyu doesn't like to report good news but not bad news.
"Back to your Majesty, 97 people got off the ship safely, and some got sick after getting off the ship. There should be 83 people who were allocated land."
After removing 117 million people, only 83 people were left alive to get the land.
Immigration is indeed the bloodiest thing.
There must be some people engaging in fraud here, and there may not be more than 80 people alive.
But the loss is too great!
"Five more silver coins to each family, no, ten!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Each person will be given an extra pound of land, an extra set of houses, and a set of farm tools and an iron pot."
"Your Majesty, there are so many people, I'm afraid the land won't be enough." Feng Xiao clicked his tongue, this is another huge expense.
"It doesn't matter. If Annan is not enough, just borrow it from Laos and Cambodia."
"Aren't these two countries out to take advantage?"
"Let them know that Ming Dynasty's advantages are not so easy to take advantage of."
"Pay it back with your life!"
"We will advertise in the south of the Yangtze River again. Anyone who is willing to immigrate to Cochin Province will be given three plots of land. They will be exempted from taxes for ten years. They will be given farm tools and iron pots. Those who don't have a wife will be given a wife. As long as they are willing to go, they will be given everything."
Feng Xiao dare not speak.
The farmland in Jiaozhi has been calculated, and the cultivated land is about 37 acres, which is 3.7 acres.
If one person is divided into three parts, more than 1 people will be divided.
Emperor, isn't this a joke?
But everyone could see that the emperor was already angry because of the heavy losses. Feng Xiao did not dare to persuade him, but he was also secretly annoyed at those transport ships. Why did they lose so many people?
"Are you stupid? The statistics show the cultivated land. How much raw land is left? Won't it be developed?"
"Now we have put out a list. Those who are willing to go will have to go to Jiaozhi at least next year."
"In this year, Zhu Ying hasn't reclaimed a lot of land?"
"And the newly arrived people will also be expropriated to cultivate land. If this is repeated, won't the number of acres in Jiaozhi increase?"
Zhu Qiyu believed in Zhu Ying's ability.
"How many people have not been removed?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"Back to your Majesty, the Chuzhou, Hezhou, Taiping, Ningguo, Guangzhou, and Zhenjiang Prefectures near Yingtian Prefecture have all been cleared."
Feng Xiao replied: "There are still 77 people waiting to be sent to Jiaozhi."
"On the transport ship carrying the decree, all Han people who are transported to Jiaozhi will be rewarded with a penny for each person who gets off the ship alive, and the boss of the ship will be fined one tael of silver for each person who dies on the ship. It will be calculated as soon as they get off the ship. There will be no arrears. Whether they make a profit or lose, let them decide for themselves. "
"The decree was sent to the receiving points in various places in Jiaozhi. Han people who settled alive would be rewarded with a penny, and if they died, they would be fined with a tael of silver. The settlement will be made immediately after settling, and there will be no arrears."
"Encourage private merchants to engage in transport ship business and send all the Han people to Jiaozhi!"
"These are criminals in the south of the Yangtze River, but when they go to Jiaozhi, they are made of gold! I don't allow them to die, so they have to live!"
"Another imperial decree was issued in Jiaozhi. Anyone who dares to harm Han people can be killed by anyone. Anyone who kills Han people should send troops to destroy his tribe! We will never tolerate it!"
Zhu Qiyu's evil fire spread to Jiaozhi.
"Issue a slave license to the people immigrating to Cochin, allowing them to sell slaves."
"Your Majesty, are you going to issue them all?" Feng Xiao thought it was a bit ridiculous. How many millions of licenses are there?
"Issuing them all, just mark the validity period. The first batch of licenses will be valid for ten years. After ten years, they will be issued as appropriate."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Those who do not have a slave trade certificate are not allowed to trade slaves. Those who sell slaves privately will be killed!"
You are trying to sell out Indochina.
"Lin Cong has done well in Henan. He has removed the governor of Henan and restored the old system in Henan."
"Transfer troops from Yu Qian to form the Nanhai Division. Lin Cong was transferred to the Nanhai Division and became the chief military officer of the Nanhai Division."
"Remove Wang Wei, the governor of Shanxi, and restore the old system in Shanxi."
"Deployed troops from Yu Qian and established the Jiaozhi Navy. Wang Wei served as the chief military officer of the Jiaozhi Navy."
"After the Nanhai and Jiaozhi naval divisions are completed, we must cooperate to clear out the Japanese pirates along the route and open up the waterways from Jiaozhi to Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Shanghai, Tianjin, and Tsushima Island."
When Feng Xiao heard about Wang Wei, he thought of Xiang Wenyao.
The emperor reduced Wang Wei's power and then kicked Wang Wei to Jiaozhi. At the same time, he also reduced the military power in Yu Qian's hands.
Obviously, the emperor's tight spell on Yu Qian was ineffective, so the emperor began to reduce his power to prevent Yu Qian from jumping out of Beijing.
That's why the emperor pretended to be angry about the bloody immigration, but he was actually pointing his sword at Yu Qian.
Yu Qian opened up the situation in the northwest, and the emperor used the southeast to cut off Yu Qian's power.
"This slave will go to Beijing to deliver the message." Feng Xiao kowtowed.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips curled up: "Deploy Yi Ming out of the capital and establish the Fujian Navy. Yi Ming will be appointed as the chief military officer."
The naval power in Yu Qian's hands was completely eliminated.
"Feng Xiao, write a secret letter to Kou Shen, saying that I heard that the fruits in Turpan are very sweet and I want to eat them."
No matter how powerful the Chen You case is, the emperor can calm it down with just one word.
The emperor's decree has to be sent to Beijing, and it must be stamped by the cabinet before it can be promulgated to the world. In the past, the emperor could go through it directly when he was in Beijing.
Now it needs to be sent from Nanjing to Beijing and then promulgated to the world.
Lin Cong from Henan has already received the news in advance.
The emperor ordered him to take charge of the army.
The meaning is clear, Nanhai Navy is very important and he does not trust others.
There is another layer, the central fire is cooking oil, and I don’t want Lin Cong, an outspoken fool, to get in and mess up. This is a situation set by the emperor, and no one is allowed to mess up.
In fact, Lin Cong did well in Henan.
Henan is located in the Central Plains. It is not close to the sea and does not have large areas of pasture. There is not enough food to eat. Where can we find the land to plant fruit trees?Canned fruits didn’t take off either.
But Henan has become the richest province in the Central Plains.
Because Henan people carry forward the spirit of being willing to endure hardships, canned fruits have become popular, and Henan has been working hard to produce clay pots for canning.
Canned meat is popular again, and Henan’s clay pots have surpassed Jingdezhen and Dehua to become the best-selling clay pots.
In two years, there were thousands of pottery pot factories in Henan.
The profits of the clay pot business were already slim, and with so many businesses opened, by the time Jingtai was ten years old, the business of each business was no longer good. Looking at the excitement, who knew who was doing it?
Moreover, clay pots have no technical content and can be made anywhere.
After careful consideration, Lin Cong sent people to learn how to make glass, encouraged the private sector to build glass factories and porcelain factories, and encouraged Henan to use glass jars and porcelain jars to roll their own.
Sure enough, a number of pottery pot factories were killed, and the reputation of Henan pottery was also destroyed.
As he got richer, canned fish was invented.
Henan merchants discovered business opportunities. We have no mutton or fish, but we have pork!
Pork canneries appeared in Henan.
Pork tastes fishy, so use more spices. Henan is in the middle of the world, close to everything, and the shipping cost is low.
Canned pork is cheaper than canned mutton, so sales naturally increase.
The taste is not that great though.
But on a hot day, how can people eat meat? Having meat to eat is already the happiest day.
No matter how low the price of canned food is, it is still not within the reach of ordinary people.
During the holidays, it would be nice to have two cans.
And Henan is a place where the world meets, so canned food requires sugar.People in Henan grew beets and relied on sugar to open up the market. Henan sugar was popular all over the world.
At the beginning of Jingtai 11, Lin Cong built several more briquette factories.
The price of coal was too high and people could not afford it, so briquettes came into being. Briquettes, which are made from cinders and coal, are low-priced and save materials.
Governors all over the world received the briquette formula.
It was made public by the emperor.
But Henan does it best.
These are Lin Cong's political achievements, which brought the tree selling industry, container industry, pork canning industry, and restaurant industry to Henan.
Henan is in the middle of the world, and all merchants from all over the world pass through Henan, so it is the most profitable to open a restaurant. After the north and the south met, Henan cuisine was formed.
Lin Cong is about to step down as governor of Henan.
With his merits, he could be admitted to the cabinet and the six ministries, but the emperor asked him to go to the south to command the army. It means a lot.
He saw Bai Gui's fate and knew that it was not the time for him to return to the center.
When a civil servant becomes a relative, he will inevitably be criticized.
But Yu Qian was too cruel and beat Bai Gui to a disability, while the civil service group stood by and watched, which made Lin Cong feel chilled.
If a relative is not attached to the emperor, he may not have any room in the court.
So he will obediently go to the south and take charge of the navy of the South China Sea.
In addition to the rising central party disputes, he was also thinking, why did the emperor let him take charge of the army?
The emperor was most afraid of not distinguishing between civil and military affairs. He was wary of military generals and even more wary of civilian officials.
He is broad-minded on the outside and cautious on the inside, and broad-minded. As long as it can contribute to his eternal imperial career, he is willing to give maximum authority and let others do whatever they want.
But once his sensitive nerves are touched, he will immediately take back his authority without hesitation. No matter how great the loss is, he will not hesitate to cut it off.
This time, the emperor actually asked him, a civilian, to take charge of the army.
Mingren had no special feeling for the ocean, and even dismissed it. Lin Cong went to the Navy to command the army, which felt a bit like being relegated.
He asked for a map.
The South China Sea, which controls Jiaozhi in the south and Lingnan in the north, is the top priority on the sea.
Combined with the fact that the emperor was immigrating to Cochin, he was actively developing Cochin.
Then the Nanhai Navy is crucial. Once there is a change in Cochin, the Nanhai Navy can strangle the water channel and quickly transport troops to Cochin to quell the rebellion.
Was the emperor just worried about losing Jiaozhi?
Look at Yu Qian's party member Wang Wei. He became the chief military officer of the Jiaozhi Navy. If Jiaozhi wanted to connect to the inland, it had to pass through the South China Sea.
This is using him, Lin Cong, to hold Wang Wei hostage.
The Nanhai Navy was so important that it had to be controlled by the emperor's confidants. Therefore, the emperor broke the inherent idea of dividing the civil and military divisions and used civilian officials to control the navy.
It may not be that he is worried that the military commander will be out of the emperor's control.
The navy must first be organized and tightly controlled by the emperor, and then it can be safely distributed to generals, who can take charge of the army on their behalf.
After Lin Cong thought it through, he calmly waited for the imperial edict to be handed over smoothly.
Shanxi.
This province was almost forgotten by Zhu Qiyu, but this province has shouldered the important task of guarding the center for more than 100 years.
Since the eighth year of Jingtai, Shanxi has expanded to two prefectures.
Shanxi can be said to be enjoying the spring breeze.
Most of the former Shanxi merchants immigrated to Ningxia. Wang Wei, Yu Shan, and Yu Gang successively immigrated 40 to Ningxia, 20 to Gansu, and nearly one million people were removed from Shanxi.
With the rise of the coal business, new merchants took coal as their basis and prospered again.
The land of great wealth in the north was first called Shanxi.
Jin people were originally good at doing business. Although their roots were interrupted by the imperial court, with the rise of the coal industry, Shanxi merchants rose again, and they can be found all over the world.
Whatever industries emerge in Beijing, industries will pop up in Shanxi.
Because Shanxi people are rich.
Only when there is consumption capacity, industries will rise, mobilizing the entire Shanxi's finances.
The Shanxi Army is the main component of the Ningxia Army, Gansu Army, and Rehe Army.
There were 70 guards in Shanxi's various guard posts at their peak. After various mobilizations, the Shanxi army still had 23. The emperor's southern tour mainly drew border troops from Shanxi.
With a large number of Shanxi people immigrating to the northwest, Shanxi people have fellow villagers everywhere. They have done business in Gansu and Ningxia, and the furthest one has reached Turpan.
This province, which had been neglected by the emperor, was regaining its vitality and vigorously competing with Henan for the throne of the richest province in the north.
Shanxi even has the idea of competing with Jiangnan to see who is rich.
Wang Wei resigned, and Yu Shan and Yu Gang were about to return to the capital.
They also know about the chaos in the center.
The Hanzong case, the Yaoshu case, and the Chen You case happened frequently. There were signs of party strife in the center and the situation was chaotic.
Yu Shan also wrote a secret memorial and sent it to the emperor.
Explain the possibility and harm of party strife.
However, the emperor never replied.
This made Yu Shan's heart sink. The situation of party struggle was started by the emperor himself. What was the purpose?
Yu Qian!
Use party struggle to control Yu Qian?
It shouldn't be. Although Yu Qian is in charge of the army, he is in the center. How can he still rebel?
It's not Yu Qian.
Combined with what the emperor did in Jiangnan, why did the emperor hate the Jiangnan gentry so deeply?
The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are very obedient to the central government. They pay taxes when they are asked to pay them and behead their heads when they are asked to do so.
Yu Shan couldn't figure out why.
But he didn't want to get into the big dye vat of the central government and see what would happen to Yu Shiyue. This unlucky guy who the emperor didn't care for and the central government didn't love was brought out to investigate the case, and finally kicked out to take the blame.
His Yu Shan's situation was not as good as Yu Shiyue's.
The emperor ignored Yu Shiyue and had a bad impression of Yu Shan.
If he goes, isn't he just going to be a target?
The emperor probably had this idea and asked Yu Shan to go to Beijing to be the scapegoat.
Therefore, Yu Shan wrote a letter to resign and pretended to be ill in Luzhou, refusing to return to Beijing.
Yu Gang is also smart.
With three cases happening frequently, someone must be the scapegoat.
All the masters in charge of the center are the emperor's favorites. If you are reluctant to kill any of them, then you have to let him top the cylinder.
Therefore, Yu Gang fell ill in Pingding Prefecture on his way back to Beijing and stayed in Pingding Prefecture to recuperate.
Wang Wei, who set out to go south, scolded them on the way for not being loyal.
Immediately go to His Majesty Shu and ask the emperor to send imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to diagnose and treat them, so as to save them from pretending to be sick.
Of course Wang Wei was anxious.
He is Yu Qian's party member.
Three cases occur frequently, so there must be a scapegoat. Aren't Yu Shan and Yu Gang the best scapegoats?
Yu Shan's resignation letter was sent to the cabinet, and it was Yao Kui who wrote it. He smiled knowingly and wrote down his rejection.
Please ask the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to go to Shanxi to take care of two elders.
Shanxi is just west of the capital, and communication can be reached in one day.
When Yu Shan and Yu Gang received the reply, their minds exploded with a bang. Yao Kui was really damaged and they had to go back to Beijing to take the blame.
Yu Gang was the most ruthless. He destroyed the windows and really caught himself a cold, pretending to be critically ill and dying.
The imperial doctor kept his eyes open and got him up with just a dose of medicine.
Then he carried it back to Beijing.
Yu Shan and Yu Gang looked at each other at the gate of the capital, tears streaming down their faces. Why is life so miserable?
The person who cried more than their lives was Chen You.
Chen You was escorted back to Beijing. As soon as he left, Turpan was lost, which confirmed the crime of secretly occupying Turpan.
The two of them entered Beijing in the morning, and Chen You entered Beijing in the afternoon.
The good Marquis of Shazhou became a sinner.
He was taken to Dali Temple and interrogated by the five judges. Zhou Xuan served as the chief interrogator, and Li Shi, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, served as the deputy interrogator.
"The Turpan leaders are not satisfied with Mansuer's oppression of power."
"So I secretly persuaded these leaders to submit to the Ming Dynasty."
"It happened to be the birthday party of Ahema, the Great Khan of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. Mansu'er returned home to celebrate his birthday, so I took advantage of the opportunity and conquered the cities of Turpan."
Chen You told me everything.
He admitted that he had indeed discussed the issue of co-management with Mansuer.
But that was for the Eastern Chagatai Khanate. He also reached an agreement with Mansu'er to help Mansu'er seek the position of khan. In return, he was willing to give up the territory of Huoshan to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Xuan and Li Shi looked at each other.
The territory at Huoshanling is twenty times larger than Turpan. Although there are deserts crisscrossing it, it is, after all, the ancient land of the Western Regions.
During the interrogation, Chen You felt unwell and asked an imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment. The interrogation was interrupted.
The record of the first trial was sent to the cabinet.
"I said before that if Chen You really has merit, who will be responsible?" Yao Kui pointed his sword at Yu Qian.
Yu Qian pointed to the piece of paper: "Can you get away with just a few words?"
"Qing Zhou Si, I would like to ask you this."
"Have you ever asked Chen You? After Chen You occupied Turpan, do you know how many feet the land in Turpan is? How much arable land? How many pastures? How many people are there? How many big cities and how many small cities are there?"
Yu Qian sneered: "Don't you even ask these basic questions?"
"If Turpan was captured by our army, how could it be that Turpan was lost again just because Chen You left?"
"Look, I, Chief Assistant, there is something wrong with Chen Youzhi's military exploits."
Yu Qian bit Chen You to death and there was something wrong with his military exploits.
The emperor's methods were sharper.
If you defeat me, I will first transfer your people and then reduce your military power.
The emperor and Yu Qian, one in the south and the other in the north, came and went. The courtiers saw that Yu Qian was still the best.
The emperor is an emperor who holds a lot of imperial power. Yu Qian can still compete with the emperor, but everyone else will have to kneel down and beg for mercy as soon as the emperor's power weakens.Therefore, the civil servants were surprisingly unanimous in supporting Yu Qian on the issue of Yu Qian's confrontation with the emperor.
"Reporting to the Chief Assistant, Chen You is very old and has hurriedly returned to Beijing. His body can't bear it anymore. We have hired an imperial doctor to nurse him back to health."
Although Zhou Xuan specializes in solving crimes, he also sees that the Chen You case is more inclined to political injustice, which is not his area of expertise.
The chief minister of the dynasty bit Chen You to death.
Civil officials formed a new group and collectively opposed the chief minister.
"Then I'll ask again in a few days."
Yu Qian looked at Zhou Hongmo: "Can the Supervision Department send someone to investigate and combine the merits? Is it true or false?"
"How to check the cooperation? The military department of the Supervision Department was lost in Turpan just after arriving in Gansu. How to check the merits?"
Even if the Supervision Department has changed its name, it still retains the role of the Six Sections.
The six subjects are Kedao and the official is the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Now the Sixth Section has been changed to the Supervision Department, and the Three Laws Department has become the Five Laws Department.
"There is nothing to check. Chen You did an incredible job." The corners of Yu Qian's lips raised.
The northwest is in chaos. If Mansu'er is smart, he will send troops into Hami and take away Hami. Gansu's hard work over the past year will be lost.
Moreover, use Kou Shen to fight.
Kou Shen was originally engaged in oil extraction, and Yao Kui was mainly responsible for the oil extraction and road paving work. This was also something that harmed Yao Kui.
Yu Qian sounded the clarion call for counterattack.
However, cabinet officials hurried in: "Something happened, Chen You is dead!"
what?
All the important ministers in the cabinet stood up, including Yu Qian, knowing that something bad had happened.
You can pour dirty water on Chen You's head, and you can concoct Chen You's case.
However, Chen You has made great contributions to the country after all.
Chen You also has another identity, the sacrificial wine of Jiangwu Hall, and most of the disciples of Jiangwu Hall are from his disciples.
The reason why Yu Qian chose Chen You was because Chen You couldn't defeat him.
There are a large number of martial arts students behind Chen You to support him. If Chen You falls down once, after finding out, the emperor will rise again.
These turned out to be good and made Chen You angry to death.
Once Chen You dies, the students from the Jiangwu Hall behind him will definitely seek justice for their teacher. Chen You's case will inevitably be investigated. How will Yu Qian deal with himself then?
Don't think that the emperor will still protect Yu Qian, no!
If you have a bad reputation, I won’t feel at ease!
Originally, the case of Chen You asked Yu Qian to part the clouds and see the moonlight. When Chen You died, it was self-defeating and it became dark.
"Is he dead? Or about to die?" Yu Qian asked anxiously.
"already dead!"
Finished!
Yu Qian immediately began to think of remedial measures. He could not quarrel with the emperor and must make peace with the emperor. The only one who could save him at this time was the emperor.
But what does the emperor want?
Want his life?
Absolutely not. The emperor was ambitious and confident enough to surrender him, so there was no need to kill him.
Want to take back your title?No, the emperor gave him the title by force, just to make him the head of the lords.
No matter what, if he doesn't take back his title, he will take back his civil rights!
This position of chief assistant is Yu Qian's final glory.
He is a civil servant at heart, and he is a civil servant from the inside out.
He has always been unwilling to be a military general, and he is not willing to let his children and grandchildren become military generals. This is Yu Qian's glory.
However, when the time comes, he must give up his civil power.
Why are Yao Kui, Geng Jiuchou and others staring at him? It is this position of chief minister that makes civil servants feel uncomfortable. You are a prince and you are the chief minister. What the hell!
Therefore, Yu Qian must leave the cabinet and become his Duke Xing.
Isn't this what the emperor wanted?
The emperor could convince the civil officials to stand on the same front as the emperor. In the final analysis, it was Yu Qian who occupied the position of chief minister.
"Send Chen You home first and bury him properly. Dali Temple will continue to investigate." Yu Qian said with a strong breath.
Geng Jiuchou looked at Yu Qian, with a meaningful look in his eyes.
He and Wang Fu looked at each other and saw each other's expressions of joy.
Yao Kui breathed a sigh of relief. Chen You died just right. If he died on the road, it would not have this effect.
This game is wonderful.
The important ministers of the cabinet dispersed, and Zhou Xuan and Li Shi walked out of the cabinet one after another.
"Yushi Zuodu..." Zhou Xuan's eyes were sharp.
Li Shi stopped slightly, raised the kerosene lamp, and illuminated Zhou Xuan's cheek: "Qing Zhou Si, what's the matter?"
"Chen You is in good health. Although he is tired from traveling and traveling, he will not die suddenly."
At this point, Zhou Xuan stopped talking and asked in a low voice: "Yushi Zuodu, can this matter still be investigated?"
"What do you mean by Zhou Siqing's words? Didn't the Chief Assistant say it? It should be investigated."
Li Shi had a smile on his face.
But this smile made Zhou Xuan shudder.
Chen You has no signs of death!
But suddenly died!
His death brought huge benefits to all parties, and people had to doubt the true cause of Chen You's death!
"Qing Zhou Si, you are a smart man, think carefully." Li Shi carried the kerosene lamp and got on the sedan chair.
Zhou Xuan stood frozen on the spot.
The Chen You case caught everyone off guard, including the emperor.
However, the way to break the situation is for Chen You to die in vain!
After Chen You died, the title of Marquis of Shazhou was retained.
Everything Yu Qian did was in vain, and everything returned to the starting point.
It can even take away Yu Qian's position as a civil servant, completely integrate him into the ranks of military commanders, and no longer allow him to be involved in civil servant affairs, making way for civil servants, making the emperor feel at ease, and everyone is happy.
There is also a huge benefit.
That is to say, Yu Qian, Yao Kui and other civil servants formed an antagonistic relationship.
And the ultimate beneficiary of all these benefits points to one person, the emperor far away in Nanjing!
ten days later.
An imperial edict came from the emperor in Nanjing: "Chen You's meritorious service is confirmed, his reward remains unchanged, he will remain the Marquis of Shazhou, and he will be given a third-generation certificate, and his eldest son will inherit the title."
"After the Ming army captured Turpan, a statue was built for Chen You in Turpan, and temples were built in Hami and Turpan to enjoy incense and permanently commemorate Chen You's achievements."
"Censor Qin Hong's inspections are unclear, but as an official in charge of science and education, he has the power to inspect the world. This is his duty. He will be fined three years' salary and demoted to Jiaozhi as the prefect."
"The supervisory envoy Zhou Hongmo has no idea about the people he employs, and lacks the ability to recognize people and the means to distinguish their merits. He is demoted to the deputy supervisory envoy and is fined one year's salary and spends a month in isolation."
"Yu Qian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, acted arbitrarily, and allowed the heroes to die in vain. He took away his position as the chief assistant of the cabinet. However, I am not in the center, and I still need the cabinet to assist me. Yu Qian is temporarily serving in the cabinet, but he cannot make decisions with just one word. If important things happen again , decided by a vote by the cabinet ministers.”
"The case of Chen You is nothing but a mistake made by the officials of the Department of Education. The officials of the Department of Education will serve as a warning to others and never make the same mistake again."
See the edict.
Zhou Xuan understood it all.
Chen You died a worthy death, and used his death to keep the title of marquis. His unfilial children and grandchildren would find it difficult to rebuild his achievements, so his greatest wish was to save a title for his children and grandchildren.
As for Yu Qian, as the Duke of Xing, he occupies the position of chief minister of the cabinet and blocks the way of many people.
So Yu Qian was removed from his post.
And Zhou Hongmo, who came to the surface, was directly demoted by the emperor.
It seems that among all the officials, only Zhou Hongmo was dealt with the most severely. Because he was originally promoted by the emperor, but he got into Yu Qian's arms, so the emperor gave him a blow on the head to let him sober up.
Qin Hong seemed to be relegated, but in fact he went to Jiaozhi to fulfill his ambitions.
This also shows that Qin Hong is the emperor's confidant.
But why did the Chen You case start with Qin Hong?Did Qin Hong really speak out and impartially, or was he bribed by someone?
Review the entire Chen You case.
When it first broke out, the emperor was also caught off guard.
See how the emperor turned defeat into victory?
When Lin Cong was transferred, Wang Wei was also transferred.
Yu Qian's ability to control the northwest relies on his party member Wang Wei.
Transferring Wang Wei broke Yu Qian's arm, making it impossible for the Chen You case concocted by Yu Qian to continue, because without Wang Wei, Yu Qian could not control Turpan.
In this way, Chen You was no longer controlled by Wang Wei on his way back to Beijing, but instead was controlled by the emperor.
After the emperor transferred Wang Wei, he used his confidant Li Shi.
In the cabinet, it was Geng Jiuchou who asked Li Shi to serve as deputy judge.
Yu Qian had not doubted Li Shi, because in the Hanzong case and the demon book case, Li Shi remained unobtrusive and did not fully take sides.
But at the critical moment, Li Shi stood on the emperor's side and gave Yu Qian a fatal blow.
Li Shi persuaded Chen You to commit suicide.
Chen You committed suicide, causing Chen You's case to collapse.
The emperor was victorious.
Zhu Qiyu in Nanjing was not happy at all: "The star has fallen."
"I promised Chen You at the beginning and told him that I would let him personally command the army and regain his hometown. I would make him a marquis in the name of his hometown!"
"I broke my promise and gained weight."
The more famous generals, the better. Although Chen You was not a famous general during the war, he was still a good general.
"Your Majesty, you have also fulfilled his wish."
"If we continue to investigate, there's a good chance we won't even be able to save the earl."
"After this case, no matter how hard Marquis Chen tries, he may not be able to command an army."
"It is better to be loyal to the country than to die of illness."
"It's a worthy death."
Feng Xiao comforted the emperor.
"Yes, even if he is found to be innocent, there is no hope of recovery."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The Central Committee will not believe a tainted person. Besides, he is 79 years old. How many years can he live?"
"Did he have any last words before he died?"
Feng Xiao shook his head. Who would listen to a sinner's last words over such a trivial matter?
"That's all, let's give it a good posthumous title." Zhu Qiyu didn't think about it anymore.
The power to confer posthumous titles was in the hands of civil servants, and the emperor had no control over it.
This was a confrontation between him in Nanjing and Yu Qian in Beijing.
Chen You is just a victim.
"When Chen You died, Turpan was lost again. It's a pity."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Give the cabinet an order and select a famous general to take charge of the army in Gansu. Kou Shen is not young anymore, so stop running around on the front line."
Feng Xiao's eyes flashed. Was the emperor worried about Kou Shen's health?
"Send people from the palace to appease the emotions of the students in the martial arts hall. Don't stop eating because of choking. You should learn your skills well for the future."
Feng Xiao's pupils shrank, the emperor wanted to use the hands of the students in the martial arts hall to cut off Yu Qian's glory.
Students from the martial arts hall will become the mainstay of the military in the future.
Chen You's death can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
He suddenly became a little afraid of the emperor.
The emperor rarely shows his true face, and only occasionally does he reveal his true face on special occasions...
"It's so hot in Nanjing."
Zhu Qiyu is a northerner who really can't get used to living in the south and can't stand the summer in the south.
And in Jiaozhi, Jiaozhou.
Fang Ying kowtowed to receive the imperial edict. Everyone recognized Fang Ying's contribution and was granted the title of Duke of Jiao.
The fourth Duke of the Ming Dynasty was born.
Use the word "Jiao" to highlight Fang Ying's military exploits.
The original Hanoi, which is now Xinjiaozhou, created statues of Fang Ying, Tao Cheng, Xia Xun, Bian Yong and others, which echoed the Annam Palace in a distant way, killing people and punishing people.
The treasures of the Annan and Champa royal families were all sent to Beijing.
It is said that the emperor planned to build a garden to display the trophies.
Fang Ying has completed the handover with Zhu Ying, and Zhu Ying stationed in Jiaozhi New Province to govern Huanzhou.
Fang Ying is on her way back to Guangxi.
He knew very well that after being awarded the title of Duke, the official position of Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi would also be removed. He would return to Beijing to retire, unless there was a special war that required him to fight.
Fang Ying knew very well that in the past three years, he had made too many meritorious deeds and was promoted too quickly. He needed time to digest the results and establish a new position among the nobles.
This is what the emperor wants to see. The Duke of the country has the usage of the Duke of the country.
Although he is in the south, he knows everything about the capital.
Three cases occurred frequently in the capital, and the Chen You case was obviously concocted by Yu Qian in an attempt to resist.
The emperor turned defeat into victory and reduced his civil power, leaving only Wu Xun and Xing Guogong.
Therefore, the emperor needed him, Fang Ying, the Duke of Duke, to return to the capital, hold Yu Qian hostage, and share Yu Qian's military power.
It is foreseeable that things are not going well for the emperor in Nanjing, and it may take a long time before he can return.
This was the reason why they urgently held the North hostage and firmly controlled the center.
It is estimated that when the emperor returns to Luan, he will preside over the princess's wedding. This was the bargaining chip used to win him over in the first place, and it is time to cash it in.
He was going back to kidnap Yu Qian. This task was hundreds of times more difficult than annexing Annan.
As soon as she left Jiaozhou and entered Guangxi, Fang Ying wrote to the central government, claiming that she was in poor health and wanted to request to be admitted to Beijing for recuperation.
After three requests and three concessions, he will return to the capital.
Guangxi and Guangdong have become full of vitality since they were transformed into Han Dynasty.
Guangdong is the center of water transportation in the world. The emperor designated an area in Guangzhou Bay called Hong Kong, the opposite side was called Macau, the inner side of Hong Kong was called Shenzhen, and the inner side of Macau was called Zhuhai.
A large area of cities has sprung up.
Guangdong and Guangxi are prosperous, and there is no need for governors to suppress anything.
Huanzhou.
Zhu Ying took office as governor of Cochin, and his top priority was to resettle immigrants first, and capture slaves second.
Since taking office, a total of 177 million people have been transported from Jiangnan.
Just by looking at their clothes and temperament, you can tell that these people are all gentry. These people are inextricably related to the officials of the dynasty.
Only 80 people were properly resettled in the first batch at the beginning of the year, and the casualty rate was extremely high.
The losses in the second and third waves were very small, with almost no casualties. Each ship was equipped with enough doctors and medicines, and the personnel were not densely packed.
After disembarking, everything was settled by the newly formed government in Cochin.
The most fertile land and the best shops were selected and distributed to the Han people.
In the first two years, there was no need to grow food, Jiaozhi distributed the food to eat, and there was no need to work by oneself, just capture slaves to work.
All places are resettled according to the regulations promised by the central government.
A large area of land, real estate, shops, a slave, a slave trade certificate, and an additional knife and a crossbow that had been eliminated from the army.
There are few slaves, because they have to be captured by soldiers. The losses in capturing slaves are great, and the soldiers are unwilling to capture them. The only choice is for the Cochin government to come forward and find native people to buy them.
After the massacre, out of the original more than 70 Guangxi troops, 64 were disarmed and returned to their fields, becoming Jiaozhi civilians.
These Jiangnan gentry scolded the emperor to death along the way.
After getting off the boat, I realized that Cochin is paradise.
Although the family fortune is gone, one can quickly become rich with a slave trade certificate.
However, more and more Han people are immigrating. Every day, countless boats dock at the pier, and countless Han people disembark.
In a few years, Cochin will be rolled up.
Originally, large numbers of captives were to be sent to the Flood Control Department to control the Yellow River. Now that large numbers of Han people were brought in, they could only be given to these Han people as slaves.
Xia Xun was in the southern part of Jiaozhi, cleaning up the remaining forces in Annan and Champa.
These Jiangnan gentry actually asked Xia Xun to do business and asked Xia Xun to capture these people and sell them as slaves.
When Zhu Ying was worried about the distribution of slaves to the Han people, Hao Xuan suggested that Zhu Ying could go to Cambodia as an envoy and order Cambodia to sell a group of slaves to the Ming Dynasty.
"Is that bad?"
Daming has bullied others enough.
The food for the army and the food for immigrants were all borne by the three countries. They also asked the three countries to send a group of people to help Cochin farm.
The Three Kingdoms also disagreed. After Zhu Ying came, he fought dozens of small battles with them, and the Ming army won all.
When Fang Ying was in charge of Jiaozhi affairs, he fought every day.
"If I am willing to go to Cambodia as an envoy, I will persuade Cambodia to sell 50 slaves to the Ming Dynasty! No, [-]!"
Hao Xuan's tone was quite serious.
"It's best to sell each of the three countries for 50 yuan." Zhu Ying was also worried.
Hao Xuan rolled his eyes wildly. The weakest of the three countries is Cambodia. When the kingdom is weak, Cambodia is the easiest to cooperate with Ming Dynasty.
The emperor regarded Jiaozhi as a reservoir in the south of the Yangtze River.
The Jiangnan gentry, both guilty and innocent, were all moved to Jiaozhi and had to be resettled properly.
After the Jiangnan gentry tasted the benefits, let alone farming, they were too embarrassed to come out to meet people if they had hundreds of slaves in their family.
This resulted in the price of slaves skyrocketing.
The mainland is still clamoring for people.
Slaves are really scarce.
Zhu Ying knew that the emperor expected to immigrate more than 500 million people, and it was very likely that tens of millions of people would immigrate.
So, Jiaozhi alone will definitely not be able to support so many people.
This is thinking about the territory of the Three Kingdoms.
The emperor was not worried about rebellion either. He seemed to have forgotten that the Guangxi Army had been disbanded and the rest were on the verge of disbandment.
The Ming Dynasty was in Jiaozhi and there were no strong soldiers.
Zhu Ying wrote a secret memorial to the emperor, asking him to send a large army south to guard Jiaozhi.
Hao Xuan became addicted to being a diplomatic envoy and traveled across mountains and rivers to persuade the King of Cambodia to sell slaves to the Ming Dynasty.
When the rainy season passes, the Chi Road to Guangxi will be built.
However, the central government gave him an order to find oil and build roads with asphalt. The asphalt road can also be walked normally in the rainy season.
With asphalt roads, Daming and Jiaozhi will not be isolated from each other because of the rainy season.
But Zhu Ying sent people to look for it, but they couldn't find any oil at all. Is there any oil here?
