Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 341: Jianwen’s suspicion, Hu Hui’s death, Mediterranean arsonist, Ming Empire

Zhou Yu led 10,000 cavalry, and under the guidance of local guides, walked through the desert through Qitai and around the desert to go to the Tiaohan Court.

Fan Guangze divided his troops into multiple routes and went south across the desert to recruit all the lands in the Western Regions to surrender.

He personally led the infantry back to Turpan and built cities along Turpan, and the battle reached a stalemate.

After half a month of confrontation, Ahema and his two sons withdrew to the Khan Court to fight against Junggar.

When the Junggars heard that the Ming Dynasty had withdrawn, they immediately withdrew their troops, took the gold and silver treasures of the Khan's court, and withdrew to their territory. With Yilibali (Yining) as the boundary, they invaded the territory of Mahemu and established the Junggar Khanate.

Seeing the dilapidated Khan Court, Ahei Ma couldn't breathe and became seriously ill after vomiting blood.

He knew very well that his two sons were extremely talented in military affairs, and their ambitions were naturally terrifying. If the throne of Khan was handed over to any of his sons, it would trigger a war.

Before he died, he made the wisest decision to split the tribe in half, seal the west to his eldest son, and divide the area occupied by the Junggar tribe into his younger son, so that they could each be their own Khan.

Once Ahema died, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was deemed destroyed.

Man Su'er and Sa Yide presided over the military affairs. Under the oppression of powerful enemies, they divided the army in a friendly manner.

The whole winter was spent without enough food and clothing, and many herders died.

In the twenty-first year of Jingtai, spring.

Mansu'er and Sayid joined forces to conquer the Junggar Khanate in the west. They defeated the Junggar Khanate in one battle and regained their lost territory.

Ah Shi had just broken into a sweat and his buttocks hadn't warmed up yet, so he was driven away, and he moved northward back to his own territory in despair.

It must be admitted that these two brothers are very talented in military affairs.

Sayyide divided his account. Because the Khanate was in ruins, he decided to move the capital to Kashgar and expand his troops westward to establish the Yarkand Khanate.

In July, Mansuer marched eastward to Turpan.

Fan Guang took over the oasis east of the Tarim Basin, and Ming Dynasty established its rule.

The Ming Dynasty was absolutely unambiguous when it came to taking action, otherwise there would be insufficient military rations and no one to manage these territories.

Mansuer went on an eastward expedition and had a stalemate with Fan Guang in Turpan.

At this time, a piece of bad news came that the Khan Court was occupied again, and Yili lost it!

Man Su'er thought it was Junggar coming again, so he immediately retreated. Only when he returned to the Khan Court did he realize that it was the Ming army. He couldn't figure out where the Ming army came from.

Zhou Yu captured Yili Bali (Yining) with an army of 10,000 men, and burned the nearby wealthy city with fire. When Mansuer withdrew, he withdrew directly.

The 70,000 troops in Mansu'er's hands are all elites. They can exchange one for two against the Ming army, and they can also exchange one for one against the Dzunggar elite.

No matter how strong the army is, it can't stand its hunger. Man Su'er immediately lost military morale.

The wealthy cities were burned down by Zhou Yu, the pastures were released, a large number of cattle and sheep were killed, and corpses were scattered all over the land.

No matter how powerful Mansu'er is, it's of no use without food.

Forced to leave Yilibari (Yining) and retreat to Almaty.

He did not make things easier for the Ming army when he left. He released the cavalry to cause trouble in Turpan, and even completely burned down the cities along the route. He left no one behind and killed those who were unwilling to leave.

What made Mansuer angry was that after learning that Zhou Yu had succeeded, Fan Guang fled Turpan and retreated to Hami.

But Turpan was ruined by the Ming army. Apart from broken houses, there was nothing else left. He went to bring disaster to a lonely person.

Because the Ming Dynasty did not lack slaughter and robbery.

Mansuer withdrew to Almaty in tears.

In the past, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate wore shoes, so it was natural to reason with the Ming Dynasty. Now it has become barefoot to see if the Ming Dynasty dares to build Turpan.

If you dare to build it, I will burn it.

Junggar came to take advantage again, and also left crying.

Fan Guang is definitely ruthless enough. He doesn’t want Turpan anymore. It’s too bad. Even our Ming Dynasty doesn’t want it.

Turpan, which had been prosperous for hundreds of years, became desolate inexplicably.

The Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which had stood for nearly two hundred years, also completely collapsed and was destroyed at the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

The good news reached the center.

The courtiers were also dumbfounded. No less people were killed, no less money was spent, and not a single inch of space was occupied. What kind of victory is this?

The Eastern Chagatai Khanate was indeed gone, but with the addition of 70,000 pirates, the door to the Western Regions was completely closed to the Ming Dynasty.

This battle was fought successfully, but it seems that it was not successful either.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing: "This battle was well fought."

Isn't this good?

"My lords, let's look at the strategy first."

"The existence of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate will do no good to the Ming Dynasty."

"Now, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate is gone and has become the three forces of Mansuer, Ashi and Sayid."

"The Junggar army is the strongest, with about 120,000 soldiers."

"Mansu'er is 70,000, Sayide is 70,000, but Sayide is in Kashgar and probably doesn't want to go east again."

"Mansu'er's 70,000-strong army has a problem of support. Why march eastward? It's nothing more than turning grass into bandits!"

"It's a good thing to turn into a bandit. Think about it. With an army of 70,000, the Ming Dynasty needs at least 150,000 cavalry to fight head-on."

"Fan Guang only has 100,000 cavalry left."

"If Zhou Yu hadn't accomplished extraordinary feats in this battle, we wouldn't have been able to tear off a piece of flesh from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate!"

"Seventy thousand cavalry are left alone. Isn't it possible that the Ming Dynasty still can't bear it?"

Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with the results of the war. It was impossible to eat a fat man in one bite. The original plan for the Eastern Chagatai Khanate took five to eight years.

Almaty could not afford 70,000 cavalry, so Mansuer would either plunder Hami or go west to join his brother.

The richest place now is Hami.

Fan Guang is stationed in Hami, and I will stop you when you come. No matter how strong the Junggar tribe is, they will not dare to fight with the 26 Ming army.

Mansuer was in a very embarrassing situation.

"Passing a decree, the Duke of Jin Fan Guangyi will not grant the world certificate for the time being."

"Feng Zhou Yuqi Taibo, Tao Jin Wei Libo, Shenying Changdu Bo, all have great achievements."

"Awarded to Kou Shen and Yuan Jie Shaobao, to the second rank of Zhengzhi Shangqing, plus a silver talisman."

Zhu Qiyu suffered a heavy hemorrhage and was directly promoted to the position of Duke of Fan Guang. His position of Duke of the country was indeed a bit weak, but the title of the country was gone, but the main force was still there.

But Fan Guang's two-year contribution to defending him in Nanjing cannot be erased.

It is natural for the three generals to be granted the title of earl.

Kou Shen and Yuan Jie performed very dazzlingly in this battle.

"Send people to unite with the Junggar tribe and beat up the drowned dogs." Zhu Qiyu felt that if the Mansuer tribe was destroyed first, and then the Junggar tribe was captured, the Western Region would be included in the Celestial Dynasty.

The current Western Region is definitely the most desolate Western Region in thousands of years, with no human habitation for thousands of miles.

This is fine, as we should protect the soil and water.

Recently, Hu Xi was seriously ill, and Chen Wen took over as Minister of Civil Affairs.

Wang Wen was about to return to Beijing. Yunnan was completely pacified. He recruited 140 million troops from the chieftains and went to Jingyang Prefecture to kill the natives.

Millions of immigrants from Henan, Jiangxi, and Chongqing entered Yunnan.

Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty was much larger than that in the Qing Dynasty and later generations.

Yunnan is too poor. Zhu Qiyu doesn't value Yunnan much. What he values ​​more is that Yunnan directly borders India, so there is a land route to India.

The entire Mu family was moved to the capital, and the only Duke's Mansion that guarded the border in the Ming Dynasty ceased to exist.

But the emperor was very fond of the Mu family and made Mu Zan, who held the official seal of the Guizhou Kingdom in these years, the title of Teng Yuebo.

Mu Cong was officially consecrated as the Duke of Qian and given a gold talisman.

This shows the emperor's favor.

The Mu family is eager to return to the capital to enjoy themselves. Who wants to eat dirt in the miserable place of Yunnan, or to return to the capital to be comfortable.

His family has no objections, and the emperor is not intolerant of other people's tempers. There will be opportunities to go out of the capital to perform meritorious services in the future.

Fang Ying returned to Beijing and was in trouble again. He received a three-life certificate and was praised by the emperor.

The Ming Dynasty now has one prince and four princes: Prince Xing, Duke Jiao, Duke Qian, Duke Yi, and Duke Cheng.

Yu Zijun was appointed governor of Yunnan to appease Yunnan.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid the old lady is dying." A eunuch came in to report, and Zhu Qiyu's heart skipped a beat.

"Let me go out of the palace and have a look."

In the past two years, Yu Shan, Yu Gang, Xue Xuan, Ren Li, Cao Yi, Shi Ju, and Jiao Li died of illness one after another, and half of the Ming Dynasty fell.

The young faction has already filled the place and occupied the center.

Even Geng Jiuchou, Xuan Xian and others also fell ill and rested at home, leaving fewer people to take charge of their own affairs.

The Ming Dynasty has such a large territory, and there are not hundreds of talented people who can do their job. How can the Ming Dynasty thrive?

After thinking wildly along the way, the royal chariot arrived at Hu Hui's mansion.

Hu Changning knelt on the ground and cried.

"Is the old lady really dying?" Zhu Qiyu's eyes were filled with sorrow as he walked in quickly, passed through the front hall, and entered the back hall.

Hu Xi was lying on the bed, dying.

Suddenly he rolled his eyes: "Why is Your Majesty here? Why did you alert Your Majesty?"

He said he wanted to get up and salute.

Zhu Qiyu immediately held him down: "I can't see you these days, and I miss you a little."

Hu Xi smiled and grabbed Zhu Qiyu's hand: "I am a doctor and I know my own body and bones. It was the late emperor who ordered me to serve. I am ninety-two this year and I have no regrets."

"But the only one I can't let go of is you."

He grabbed Zhu Qiyu's hand hard: "Your Majesty, you are too strong and impatient in what you do. If I didn't hold you back, I would be worried that Ming Dynasty would enter an unstoppable path."

Speaking of this, he seemed to be energetic.

He waved his hand: "Get out, don't listen."

Hu Xi was on his way back when Hu Changning went out crying. He knew that his father was having a flashback and his time had come.

A crystal teardrop fell on Hu Hui's palm.

"Your Majesty, please don't cry. Listen to what I have to say."

"The old minister is no longer here. You must think twice before doing anything in the future. You must think more and listen more."

"Old minister, I know that everything you do is for the good of Ming Dynasty, but you can't be impatient."

"Please read more about Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. His achievements were harmful to the current world but beneficial to the future. You must not imitate him."

"His Majesty!"

Hu Xi grabbed Zhu Qiyu's hand with great strength.

"I heard it." Zhu Qiyu couldn't hold back his tears. He and Hu Hui had quarrels and were defensive, but mostly supported each other.

Over the years, they have often stood on different sides, and even had murderous intentions not once or twice.

But Hu Xi devoted himself wholeheartedly to the Ming Dynasty.

At least their goals were the same. Hu Hui had been an official for so many years, but he had never made any profit for the family, not even when he was dying.

"Your Majesty, please don't cry."

"I am ninety-two years old. I am an extremely respected minister and have lived a good life."

"Before I die, I just ask you to remember the words of the old minister. Managing a big country is like cooking small fresh food. Be slow. Listen more and think more. Listen more to the words of the old minister. When young people are too radical, you must hold on to the kite string. , don’t let them fly out, be slow, it takes time for people’s hearts to change!”

"Your Majesty, my time has come."

"I have done everything I promised you. I just ask you to take Daming all the way forward. When I go underground and meet the late emperor, I will have something to say."

When he said this, his face suddenly turned rosy, with a smile on his face: "I was cautious in the first half of my life, because I did not get here based on my true ability, but because I did something disgraceful for Emperor Taizong."

"You Ran remembers that when the late emperor was dying, he held the hand of the old minister and entrusted him with the important responsibilities of the world."

"At the time of Tumu Fortress, my mind was blank, but in order to live up to the late emperor's great kindness, I didn't dare to back down."

"I am a human being, so I am afraid."

"But when I think of the late emperor's words of care before his death, I have never forgotten them for more than thirty years."

"You have been in the imperial court for twenty-one years, and I have tried my best to support you, because I promised the late emperor that I never want to see Tumu Fort again..."

Tears kept flowing down Hu Xi's cheeks. The battle at Tumubao broke Ming's backbone. If it hadn't been for the emperor, Ming's back would never have stood up.

Zhu Qiyu gently wiped his tears.

He grabbed Zhu Qiyu's hand and recalled the past in his eyes: "Your Majesty, do you know which time was the happiest time for me?"

"Tell me." Zhu Qiyu coaxed him to talk, feeling sad in his heart.

"It was the Yongle Dynasty. When I was looking for Jianwen, although I traveled through mountains and rivers, I also saw the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty. All the veterans in the world have seen it, and they are really satisfied."

Speaking of Jianwen, this is an eternal mystery.

Zhu Qiyu was also curious: "Old Master, has Jianwen really disappeared? Did Emperor Taizong send you and the three treasure eunuchs to find Jianwen?"

"hehe!"

Hu Hu sneered twice: "Emperor Taizong is so broad-minded. How could he waste money and food for a shady person?"

"Indeed, when Emperor Taizong Jingnan entered the capital, Jianwen disappeared."

"But the old minister has already found him. He has been ordained and has become a monk. He does not care about the affairs of the world. When the old minister found him, he was already old and had only a few years to live."

"The old minister returned to Beijing to report. Emperor Taizong just sighed and said nothing else. He came to Jianwen not because he was worried about Jianwen's rebellion, but because he had an obsession."

"Eunuch Sanbao went to the West, just like you, for trade and to make money to support the war."

That's right, Emperor Taizong was such a great figure. When Jianwen was the emperor, he could successfully rebel. What's more, Jianwen was already a monk?

Spread a rumor and break a leg.

"You are very similar to Emperor Taizong. Both have extreme greed for territory."

"However, Emperor Taizong didn't know the beauty of Jiaozhi, so he acquired Jiaozhi and gave up without deep cultivation. Otherwise, the food from Jiaozhi would be enough to clear Mobei."

Yes, Emperor Taizong was very capable of fighting, but he was deceived by the gentry.

"The veteran also supports you to expand your territory. The benefits of Jilin and Jiaozhi are all seen by the veteran."

"But I hope you will be slow and annex little by little. Han culture is the most tolerant culture in the world. Anyone who comes in will be assimilated."

"Don't be domineering all the time. If you kill too much, sooner or later you will be counterattacked."

"Your Majesty, you are too powerful and I dare not backlash against you. But one day, the prince will ascend the throne. The prince has not gone through a war, and the backlash will happen in the prince's court!"

"Your Majesty, you must remember that practicing benevolence will eliminate the backlash. The affairs of this generation must be completed by this generation. We cannot wait for the prince to do it. Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, you must remember the old minister's advice."

Suddenly, Hu Hui's body began to twitch. He was dying, but he still held the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty, before I die, I have one last piece of advice. Can you, can you listen?"

"Say it! I'll listen!" The grief in Zhu Qiyu's eyes was self-evident.

Before Hu Hui died, he did not seek benefits for the family, but only for the country.

He is right, if you keep killing people, they will turn into beasts. Why is there suddenly no century-old country? It was because they killed too much that they suffered backlash.

Hu Hui saw it clearly, and he hoped that the emperor could see it clearly too, and one day he would immediately stop killing, practice benevolence, and encourage others to do good.

This is colonial thinking.

Hu Hu looked at the emperor and said with great difficulty: "Prince, we can't change him easily!"

Zhu Qiyu didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but when he asked again, Hu Hui was speechless.

He let Hu Changning and others come in, then turned away, not wanting to see him for the last time, but tears streaked down his face.

"It is passed down that I will give it to Grand Master Hu Xi, and he will be awarded the Bachelor of Fengtian Palace, and he will be entitled to enjoy the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Hu Xi has been in office for sixty years and has made great contributions to the country. Please enter the Confucian Temple!"

Hu Xi breathed his last, with a look of relief on his face. He was not pleased to receive the reward, but the emperor had listened to his words.

The entire Hu family was filled with mourning, and Hu Changning fainted from tears.

Zhu Qiyu drove back to the palace, and the national flag outside Fengtian Hall was lowered to half-mast.

"Tomorrow we will leave for morning service, and all national flags will be flown at half-mast. Lower the national flag outside Fengtian Hall, and he will be buried with Hu Hui. When he is buried, I will go and support the spirit!"

In the next few days, Zhu Qiyu was not in a good mood.

Hu Hui is the pillar of Ming Dynasty.

This pillar finally fell, and the future Ming Dynasty will need him to support it.

"Go and invite Yu Qian."

After a while, Yu Qian entered the palace to salute, and saw the emperor's face was not good: "Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body. The old master passed away, there is nothing sad."

"Prince Xing, I am really afraid that one day you will go too."

"The two pillars of the Ming Dynasty are gone, and the entire court has to be supported by me alone."

Zhu Qiyu was not in a high mood: "I don't know if my shoulders can support Ming Dynasty."

It was the first time that Yu Qian saw such a decadent emperor.

"I've been in good health recently, and I can still support your Majesty for a few more days." Yu Qian comforted him.

"Old ministers are leaving me one after another, and I still want to lead them to Mount Tai to be enshrined in Zen."

"But... alas!"

"I feel that the war cannot be dragged on any longer."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were firm: "Prince Xingjun, I want to send you to the west. You will be in charge of the army. Under your command are Fan Guang, Wang Yue, Kou Shen, and Yuan Jie."

"Your Majesty, Fan Guang fought well on the Western Front battlefield. Even if the old minister is gone, he can't eat a fat man in one bite." Yu Qian said with a smile.

"Do you think Wang Yue can take over your class?" Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked.

Yu Qian smiled bitterly: "Old ministers are also self-taught. Whether they can do it or not, you have to go to the battlefield to know."

He knew clearly that the emperor hoped that the Ming Dynasty would produce another handsome man, but this matter could not be decided by human power.

"After all, the root of the battlefield lies with you." Yu Qian said.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned: "Me?"

Yu Qian nodded lightly: "As long as you feel confident and dare to use it, the generals in the world are all famous generals, just like Fan Guang. If you took away his official position because of a defeat last year, no one else would be able to win this battle. "

"You believed in Fan Guang as always, so Fan Guang came back with a great victory."

"You think I am a military god, but you just trust me too much."

"When I fight in a war, you never ask questions, and the central government never tells me what to do, so I win consecutive battles."

This makes sense.

But Zhu Qiyu felt that Yu Qian was a famous general through the ages, someone who could not be matched by ordinary people. Others might not be able to win so surely.

"Your Majesty, I am not as talented as you think. I am also a human being and will make mistakes. Fan Guang, Wang Yue, Xiang Zhong, Li Jin, and Yang Xin are all talented people. As long as you are willing to use them, they can rule for you for many years." A hundred thousand troops.”

Zhu Qiyu still shook his head: "I feel inferior to you."

Yu Qian couldn't help laughing: "Is Chen Wen a famous general? Didn't he also fight well in Yunnan? No one is a handsome man, it's just that your Majesty trusted the old minister. After winning several battles, the old minister was deified by you. "

"Let me think about it."

Zhu Qiyu didn't think so and said: "Prince Xing, do you think the war in the northwest will be ended within next year? I want to annex the entire Eastern Chagatai Khanate."

Yu Qian frowned slightly: "With the old minister gone, it will be difficult to completely defeat the Junggar tribe."

He didn't say Mansu'er, because there were only 70,000 people in Mansu'er, and there was no food and grass, so it was not enough to cause trouble.

Sa Yide saw this posture as wanting to conquer the west, and his mind was not in the east.

"I still want to send you to let Fan Guang and Wang Yue learn under you. I will also send you Yang Xin and Li Jin. You can take them with you."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Mansu'er is also a famous general. It would be best if he can be conquered. If not, just send him on his way."

Yu Qian expressed his helplessness, you praise me too highly.

"Then, veteran, get ready and set off."

Yu Qian didn't want to go to the battlefield anymore.

He suddenly understood Fang Ying. Why did Fang Ying not want to go to the battlefield? She was afraid of defeat. If she lost the battle, her reputation would be lost.

He is victorious in every battle with Qian, but he may also suffer a defeat.

Yang Xin and Li Jin were transferred from the station to go to the west to make contributions.

In June, the bad news came that Liu Pu had died of illness.

It was the year when the Ming Dynasty generals fell, and Liu Pu was gone, so he was given to Duke Rong, his eldest son, the Marquis.

In Jilin. The 20th year of Jingtai has been the fastest growing year in Jilin.

After Ma Wensheng took over Wang Lai, he intensified his efforts in construction and personally led his troops to suppress the barbarians, conquering them while fighting. He changed Wang Lai's kingly approach to domineering.

Ma Wensheng and Yang Xin cooperated, and Jilin expanded very quickly.

The population keeps moving here.

As of the middle of the 21st year of Jingtai, the population exceeded 8 million. Most of the immigrants came from Beizhili, Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, a small number of Shandong people, and criminals from various places.

The Ming Dynasty purchased a large number of slaves from the Ottoman Empire and the Holy Roman Empire.

Every year, 200,000 white women, 100,000 southeastern women, and 50,000 Indian women are steadily imported into Jilin.

Races, nations, and cultures collide with each other to form a new Northeastern culture.

Harbin, where Jilin is governed, has become the largest metropolis in Northeast China after Shenyang, with a population of 500,000.

After more than ten years of construction, Harbin is also a city that never sleeps, with asphalt roads leading to various cities in Jilin and Heilongjiang.

The population explosion is mainly directly related to grain production.

Jilin Province included later Jilin, Heilongjiang and Eastern Mongolia, and the cultivated farmland area was as large as the total area of ​​the three Jiangnan provinces.

The land is vast and rich, and the land is rich.

The grain produced is enough to supply grain and oil for Hebei, Shanxi and Rehe.

The key is that rice, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are delicious, even better than the rice from Jiangnan.

Although the output is far less than that of Jiangnan, the cultivated land area is large. If you plant more than one plant, you will be done. There are thousands of miles of wasteland to the north. All of them have been reclaimed, which is enough to feed the entire Ming Dynasty.

Of course, that was because Ma Wensheng didn't know that there was permafrost in the north. Permafrost was a strategic resource and would not be used for hundreds of years.

The Academy of Agricultural Sciences is also developing cold-resistant seeds and looking for ways to increase yields.

Ma Wensheng implemented the emperor's philosophy and raised the Sauron people as his own sons, while other ethnic groups dispersed and surrendered.

The Sauron people were also very powerful, providing a steady stream of soldiers to the Ming Dynasty.

Chineseization has begun.

The Ming Dynasty did not strictly stipulate that they could only fish and hunt, but gave them a better life. They could not bully others like the Qing Dynasty. After all, they were their own sons.

What Ma Wensheng is worried about now is population.

Jilin's grain production capacity requires at least 15 million people, which is a huge gap.

He even wanted to issue a manumission order and turn the slaves into humans, but the central government refuted it and would never allow the slaves to be released into humans.

However, more female slaves have been brought in, so hurry up and give birth to children.

Those transported from Jingtai in the 20th year were all white people with snow-white skin, high noses, and blue eyes. They were all family members of prisoners of war from the Holy Roman Empire.

Daming, if you want a woman, you don’t have to choose the appearance, and you don’t want the dark one.

Ming Dynasty procured women for five consecutive years.

As a result, people from various countries in Europe are full of rice, and they only kidnap women, which makes their population imbalance and they are forced to introduce black people.

Ming Dynasty is not only eyeing Europe, but also women from all over the world except Africa.

In Jilin, if you do a careful calculation, there are estimated to be hundreds of ethnic groups. These women are all married to Han people. In the future, they will give birth to a group of mixed blood. Mixed blood will be mixed again, and it is hard to say what the future will be like.

Jilin people gave a lot of dowry, and Han women from the mainland also married to the Northeast one after another to further integrate.

Some people from Liaoning have also moved to Jilin. Compared with the vast Jilin, Liaoning is the smallest among the six northeastern provinces and has less cultivated land than Jilin. Naturally, they are willing to move to Jilin.

In Jilin, you will see a group of men with pigtails working in the fields. Their skin colors are also different. There are many black brothers who work honestly in the fields.

The Indians couldn't stand the severe cold here, and they froze to death in groups.

Ottoman prisoners of war had to be used.

The Ottomans spanned Asia, Europe and Africa, and they were a flat-headed brother. They fought wars everywhere, and the prisoners of war were naturally of all skin colors.

Ming Dynasty bought people and sold arms at the same time.

The Ottomans called the Ming Dynasty an arsonist in the Mediterranean.

Selling arms everywhere, and selling them for money, made the Ottomans enemies of the world. It turned out that they were surrounded by little sheep, and those who were provided by the Ming Dynasty became big bad wolves.

Then the Ming Dynasty also bought prisoners of war from many small countries, all of whom were Ottomans.

Buy them all.

At first Osman thought that the Ming Dynasty was short of people, so he sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty and found out that the Ming Dynasty was using people as slaves!

Millions of Ottomans died on the waterways of the Ming Dynasty.

Construction in the Ming Dynasty was rapid. By the 20th year of Jingtai, all water systems across the country had been transformed, and irrigation projects have now begun to be transformed.

The asphalt road in Xinyizhou has also been repaired and is being built in the direction of Xinjingzhou and Xinyangzhou.

At least 100 million slaves died on the road.

The infrastructure-mad Ming Dynasty has the best roads, the smoothest waterways, and the vastest territory in the world. It is not satisfied yet and is still developing rapidly.

Behind the Ming Dynasty’s miracle of speed, it is inseparable from the help of people of all ethnic groups around the world.

Especially when he saw the great warriors of the Ottomans farming the land in the Northeast like old scalpers, the envoy collapsed.

The key is that their warrior, who has an ugly braid and works in the fields, will say "Cha!" when he sees his master.

Find Daming and ask Daming to release the prisoners.

Of course Daming refused. I bought it with money, why should I release it?

Osman unilaterally announced the severance of diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu immediately announced that he would give a large number of arms to the Ottoman neighbors and refused to export all goods to the Ottomans.

The Ming Dynasty issued an order to buy people, only Ottoman people.

Within a year, Osman called him daddy.

The surrounding small countries went crazy to rob Ottoman people and sell them to the Ming Dynasty.

The Ottoman Empire immediately became the sick man of Central Asia. It had no objection to its citizens farming for the Ming Dynasty. It even raised its hands to support it, and gave the Ming Dynasty 100,000 women as gifts, asking to repair relations with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu just said, two hundred thousand, no black ones.

Osman was convinced.

For the first time, Ming Dynasty used economic means to change the world situation.

With its strong military and economic strength, the Ming Dynasty could stably supply new lands and women.

The number of slaves who entered the Ming Dynasty from Hong Kong and Shanghai increased to 500,000. A small number of them were sold to ordinary people as concubines at high prices, and the larger number were sent to Ningxia, Mongolia, Jilin, and Heilongjiang to fill the population.

If you want to take a white girl as a concubine, you can immigrate to the frontier and get one for free.

These are all immigration slogans.

Immigration slogans change every year. In order to attract immigrants to new lands, the hub does everything.

The total population of Heilongjiang has reached three million.

There were only 60,000 Wuliangha people. They left Heilongjiang and went to Mongolia as nomads. The rest became Heilongjiang people.

Heilongjiang also has two more prefectures, Khalkha Prefecture and Chahar Prefecture.

There is an extra place in the Mongolian capital, called Tangnu Ulianghai, which is where the Uliangha people nomadically live.

Gushe Island explored along the north and discovered the four northern islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula, but this island was not suitable for human habitation.

The Ming Dynasty still sent officials to manage it, mainly the Huairou indigenous people, and just let the indigenous people submit to the Ming Dynasty.

Bounded by Xing'an Mountains, Jilin and Heilongjiang are bounded to the south, and Jilin and Heilongjiang are bounded by Xingkai Lake. Heilongjiang includes Gushe Island and Sakhalin Island.

After a central discussion, in the 20th year of Jingtai, Xianbei Province and Tatar Province were established.

Six northeastern provinces were completely formed: North Korea, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Xianbei, and Tatar.

However, the two newly established provinces are mostly frozen soil and will be valuable in the future. Now they are just a province to manage. There is no capital to dominate here. Just build asphalt roads and send officials to manage them.

Ming Dynasty mainly operates in the four provinces of Northeast, Northeast and South, while the two northern provinces are mainly energy-based and currently do not have the ability to mine.

The Mongolian capital was basically built successfully. The Mongolian capital was too cold. It was enough to build a few key cities, conquer many tribes, force them to be gentle, and move some criminals there.

In April of the 21st year of Jingtai, Mongolia withdrew its capital and became the province of Mongolia.

Fishing Sea City, began construction.

The two provinces are bounded by Yuyuerhai, with Yuyuerhaidusi to the north.

Even the Mongols couldn't figure out what the Ming Dynasty wanted to do with this ruined land? They all dislike the cold and want to live in a warm place.

Don't say they don't understand, even the court officials can't figure it out.

The emperor really has no place to put his money. The temperature is 70 to 80 degrees below zero. What do you need it for?

However, at the beginning, the courtiers looked down upon the Northeast. Now the Northeast can feed and drink the Beizhili. This place has turned from a bad land into a treasure.

Then fishing in Haidusi might also be a treasure place.

You have to trust the emperor's vision.

Without Hu Hui to hold the emperor's stubborn horse, Ming Dynasty would only run quickly under the emperor's command.

The Laos area was officially revoked in April of the 21st year of Jingtai. Zhu Yong made meritorious governance and was promoted to the title of Marquis of Funing.

Zhu Yong has been in Laos for six years.

The Laotians disappeared.

The Japanese army suffered a loss of 17, the Guizhou army suffered a loss of 11, and the Yunnan army suffered a loss of 4. It took six years to completely pacify Laos.

Laos was officially split and merged into Yunnan and Jiaozhi respectively.

Laos, a semi-plateau area, has become the Ming Dynasty Tea Country, with tea trees everywhere, tea and sugar cane gardens, a few rubber trees, and patches of medicinal gardens.

Laos moved 300,000 people from Cochin, and together with the Yunnan-Guizhou army, there were still fewer people and more land.

The Jiaozhi territory was completely formed.

As for Xinjingzhou and Xinyangzhou, they are still very bloody, and immigrants are being pushed in bit by bit.

In front are the Japanese troops shining brightly.

The Japanese country was also unwilling to sell a large number of warriors to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty belonged to Pixiu, and people could not get in or out.

However, they cannot do without the Ming Dynasty's arms, and if they want to buy the Ming Dynasty's arms, they can only use people in exchange.

The Ming Dynasty also gave birth to several Japanese noble titles. The one with the highest title today is Ise Shinkuro, also known as Hojo Soun. He is the marquis of the Ming Dynasty and the Marquis of Yuexun. He was named Ixuchun by the emperor.

The funniest thing is, I don’t know whether he killed too many people or something else, but he died when he gave birth to a son, and he died when he gave birth to a daughter.

This hero who kicked off the Japanese Warring States Period became an impoverished family after becoming the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty!

It happened that the emperor liked him, and every time there was a massacre, he was entrusted with it.

New Yangzhou and New Jingzhou recruited 200,000 Japanese troops and carried out massacres. They did not leave the people in the crevices of the mountains alive. After killing the people, they cut down trees to control floods.

The emperor liked him the most. Seeing that he could not give birth to a son, he specially gave him a black pearl as his wife. It was said to be the blackest pearl in Africa.

The eunuch who granted the marriage at that time had strange eyes.

The imperial edict said that black people can give birth to children, and the sons they give birth to are strong-skinned, and they must be allowed to remain as heirs.

Yi Xuchun vomited at the first sight. Isn't this a fucking orangutan?

But the emperor said, this is the princess of the Ottoman Empire, the king's daughter, it is a good thing to reward you.

She actually gave birth to a son, which was called Hei. Yi Xuchun didn't even want to take a look at it, but he died in infancy for unknown reasons.

The emperor favored the Japanese army and left all the good things like making money in the mountains to them.

The number of Japanese soldiers who died fighting for the Ming Dynasty exceeded 500,000.

Every time a massacre was carried out, the emperor would also erect a monument for the martyrs, telling them that they were doing the right thing, come on, and keep working hard.

The Japanese army respected and loved the emperor to the extreme.

Li Zhen couldn't stand it anymore. You were clearly consuming the Japanese army, but these fools were so happy and even said thank you to the emperor.

The Warring States Period of the Japanese Kingdom had just begun, but it was already a bit sluggish. Millions of people moved to the Ming Dynasty. How many of them were left?

But the Ming Dynasty supported them and sold them a lot of arms. Go ahead, Beibi.

In Xinyizhou.

In the 19th year of Jingtai, the construction was completely completed. Rubber trees, olive trees, tea trees, palm trees, spices, medicinal materials, rice, etc. were planted on a large area in Xinyizhou.

In the fields, cheerful laughter can be heard everywhere.

They are all children of immigrants.

Running and playing in the forest, there is no shadow of the clouds of war many years ago. Xinyizhou has been at peace for many years, and people have forgotten the war.

But some people are still grimacing because they may still migrate.

Xinyizhou has a lot of people but little land, and barely enough food. Because of the heavy immigration back then, so many people were crammed into Xinyizhou. The small Xinyizhou has a population of nine million people.

The food grown is not enough to eat, so we have to rely on food bought from India to survive.

In recent years, some people have packed up their bags and moved to new lands.

For example, go north to Jingyang Province, or go south to Malacca Province, which is Mancajia. The Mancajia people are also disappearing rapidly, and the Japanese army is very powerful.

The Ming Dynasty established the Malacca Navy long ago to take charge of this strait.

This time, the immigration is not forced, but voluntary. After packing your bags, you will take a boat and the center will provide you with an additional subsidy.

Some people have moved away one after another. There is really not enough food in Xinyizhou, and there are still many plantations that are monopolized by Jiangnan merchants.

It’s been ten years since the Ming Dynasty opened the sea!

Nineteen major financial groups have formed in the world. The first largest group is the Royal Commercial Bank, followed by Su merchants, Zhejiang merchants, Shanghai merchants, Hui merchants, Hong Kong merchants, Hubei merchants, Gan merchants, Chao merchants, Shanxi merchants, Lu merchants, and Shaanxi merchants. , Chongqing merchants, Guangdong merchants, Australian merchants, Zhao merchants, Liao merchants, Beijing merchants, and Jiao merchants.

These consortiums took up land in Xindi and formed huge plantations to mass-produce the same goods, such as olive oil, sugar, medicinal materials, etc.

The Center does not object to the formation of consortiums, as long as taxes are paid.

Consortiums are directly taxed heavily, and the tax points are higher than those of ordinary merchants.

But it cannot stop the formation of the consortium.

The consortium stood over the people, forcing them to move again and go to new lands to occupy land. This was conducive to immigration, but the central government ignored it.

In the past two years, one million people from Xinyizhou have gone to Xinqi Province.

And this trend is accelerating, and the central government is about to order forced immigration.

Li Kan, the governor of Jiaozhi, was already preparing to return to Beijing.

Jiaozhi was the first place developed by the Ming Dynasty. Now it has become one of the richest provinces in the south, no less wealthy than Jiangnan.

Through the joint efforts of two governors, Zhu Ying and Li Kan, fourteen main roads and countless small roads were built from Guangxi and Yunnan to Jiaozhi.

Cochin leads to various places, and it also creates a situation where there are multiple roads into new provinces.

Jiaozhi is a place where many provinces gather, and it is along the entire coast. It is a window for trade, and it is full of Han people. The possibility of breaking away from the Ming Dynasty is very small.

As of the date of the removal of the governor, Cochin's population exceeded 1200 million, and its economic ranking was at the forefront. Cochin's food was supplied to Borneo and Luzon.

Asphalt roads were built in every city.

Prosperity is visible to the naked eye.

Li Kan returned to Beijing by sea ship. Over the years in Jiaozhi, the emperor commended him several times, and he felt that he was worthy of his honor.

He entered the cabinet as soon as he returned to Beijing, fulfilling his dream of joining the cabinet.

On the ship, he saw countless ships plying the sea, most of which were carrying sufficient cargo to set sail, or were returning with slaves.

The rapid development of Cochin is attributed to thousands of slaves.

Slaves made outstanding contributions to the development of Cochin.

Slaves were not allowed to have children. When they got old, they had to find a place to bury them. Then they needed to buy new slaves to continue working. The slave trade was extremely prosperous.

Li Kan's ship was a military ship. It did not go on the river, but on the sea.

Every time you pass by the port, you can see thousands of sails racing and a prosperous scene.

Disembark in Tianjin.

Tianjin Port is extremely busy. All kinds of goods are unloaded at Tianjin Port and loaded into inland waterways again.

What Li Kan saw the most was asphalt.

The asphalt was bought from the Ottomans, disembarked from Tianjin, and sent to the northwest.

Those sent to Northeast China will go directly through the Inland Sea and across Tsushima Island to Jilin and Heilongjiang.

The rapid development of asphalt roads in the Ming Dynasty is directly related to imported asphalt. Ottoman is full of oil, which is not valuable at all.

So Ming coveted Osman.

I heard that the emperor was organizing an expedition to secure a territory for the King of Chu as a fiefdom.

He also encouraged the Ottomans to also lay asphalt roads. Li Kan suspected that this was to prepare for the Ming Dynasty's invasion.

Li Kan took a fast boat to Beijing.

There was no delay along the way. We sailed in the morning and arrived in the capital in the evening.

When he entered the capital, he seemed to be shocked. Is this still the capital he knew?

The old capital only had nine gates, but the new capital actually has thirty-two gates. Does this mean it has to be built to the fifth ring? Can you believe it?

It takes an hour by carriage to enter the Forbidden City from the city gate!

The entire capital, the entire city, is covered with asphalt roads.

There were cries everywhere.

They sell everything, including things he had seen in Cochin, as well as things he has never seen before, from the East, from the West, and even from the savages.

Everything in the world can be seen in Beijing.

It was crowded, and there were people everywhere.

"When did the capital become such a huge city?"

However, Li Kan saw that the most eye-catching thing was the toilet. In order to facilitate the population of the capital, a toilet was set up almost one hundred meters away.

There are male and female toilets. Although there are very few women on the street, there are still male and female toilets.

If you walk in and take a look, you will know that there is only one pitfall for women.

After all, women in the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to appear in public, and the emperor could not change this bad habit despite several decrees.

Li Kan was on the carriage and saw the endless flow of people. He was so surprised that he couldn't shut up. He felt that Huanzhou was very prosperous.

Huanzhou has a population of one million people and is the largest city in the land of Baiyue, bigger than Bianjing.

But compared with the capital, it was far behind.

He estimated that the capital's population might be more than five million, and he was immediately frightened. With so many people, if they rebelled, could the palace be defended?

After entering the palace, he saw many young faces in the cabinet, and even the faces of those occupying high positions had changed.

Many people I knew died.

Li Kan sighed quietly, and after waiting for the report, he entered the Nourishing Heart Hall.

The emperor was in the midst of a lengthy text.

He secretly took a look at the emperor. The emperor, who was over forty years old, did not look old, but was full of energy and had a slight smile on his face: "You are back? Serve me tea and wait until I finish reading."

Li Kan knew that this was the emperor's habit.

"Jiangxi is well governed. There has been no rebellion this year, which shows that the people are really living a good life."

Zhu Qiyu is reading the memorial submitted by the Jiangxi Chief Envoy, which is a summary of half a year's work.

"You're used to staying in Jiaozhi, but you're not used to the climate in the capital, right?" Zhu Qiyu asked him while looking at it.

"Your Majesty, the weather in the capital is still hot at this time. I'm still used to it. I'm afraid I won't be used to it when it gets cold." Li Kan replied.

"It's okay. There are radiators in the capital, so the room is still warm."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Go to Jilin and take a look. In that cold and cold place, the winter is as warm as spring, and there is a lot of coal in the northeast."

Li Kan could see that the emperor was in a very good mood.

After reading it twice, Zhu Qiyu reluctantly put it down and then stood up: "Jiangxi has done a good job, whether it is Li Xian's approval or Liang Fang's approval."

"Let's talk about Jiaozhi." Zhu Qiyu moved his body.

Li Kan knew how to fight, and he observed the emperor's body. The emperor's body was extremely strong, and he could tell at a glance that he had been exercising all year round.

"Sit down and say, are you polite to me?" Zhu Qiyu came over and patted him, then sat on the chair opposite.

　Speaking of Harbin, Harbin is so popular recently.

　　If you want to come and play, you can join the group and contact me. I will help you make strategies to ensure that you have a great time in Northeast China.

　　It is said that Northeastern barbecue is the best in the world, no one can refute it, right? I've been watching videos these days, and the barbecue restaurants they eat at are all wrong. So dogs won't even eat the barbecue, right?

　　That iron pot stew, white ragu, dogs won’t eat it, right? Anyway, when I watched the video, I knew those southern tourists were not looking for the right place. We locals don’t eat those anyway.
