Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 618: Imperial officials went to Zhejiang to hollow out Nanjing and strengthen their control.
It is said that if you are not a master, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are. You have never been in charge of a government, and you don’t know how difficult it is to do it.

I have never written a book, and I don’t understand the difficulty of writing a book.

Let the ministers first serve as local officials. After having the experience of being in charge, they will know that it is not easy for everyone, and they will be able to put themselves in the shoes of the officials and understand them.

It’s hard to say what kind of repercussions this policy will trigger.But it’s still the old ways of old people and new ways of new people, so no one has come out to oppose it for the time being.

None of the new scholars have yet been sent out to serve as officials on a large scale. In the emperor's words, officials will be sent out after North Korea is conquered and provinces are established.

In the afternoon, the responses from all parties were summarized. Zhu Qiyu sat on the couch and read them carefully one by one.

You can mess around with some things, but you can't relax your control of the capital at all.

Looking at it, Zhu Qiyu laughed again: "These guys are all watching the joke of the widow. The lonely man, the lonely man, except for my cronies who are in the same boat as me, the rest are waiting for me to fail.

And after the experience of the orthodox emperor and Wang Zhen last time, everyone learned well and simply didn't object to anything and just waited quietly.

Then don’t perish in silence, but explode in silence. "

Ningxiang asked with admiration at the side: "If you don't perish in silence, you will explode in silence? How come your husband is also a scholar of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism? Why can you always say aphorisms full of philosophy casually?"

Zhu Qiyu looked up at the sky, silently thinking about his most beloved husband, and then replied: "Hey, we all hate each other, so let's just live together.

What should I do if they don't keep silent? Either I make a mistake, like Zhu Qizhen, and lose a game and fall down from the altar; or I conquer North Korea and Japan and complete the great cause that even Kublai Khan failed to accomplish.

Then destroy the entire Mongolia, conquer the south, and expand the territory of the south to the sea.

When I took over the Ming Dynasty, it had a population of 6000 million. When I abdicate, I will at least acquire land with a population of 3000 million and expand the territory and population by half.

Who would dare to say that I am not in the right position when I see it?

Why do my legal principles come from the Xuan Temple and the orthodox emperor? Damn it.

Wouldn't it be better for me to put things right, put aside the two prodigal sons, and go directly to inherit Taizong's unfinished business? "

Lin Xiangyu pretended to be surprised and asked: "My husband is getting more and more ambitious, doesn't he want to make an ancestor, right?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Shizu is very good. Generally, only those who are the founders of dynasty history or a promising emperor who connects the past and the future will be designated as Shizu.

The Zhengtong Dynasty before me lasted for 14 years, but the emperor of the Zhengtong Dynasty became King Yi, and his family was larger than the ancestral temple. After his death, he could neither be buried in the imperial mausoleum nor the Ancestral Temple. This was not the end of the dynasty.

As for connecting the past and the next, on the one hand, I inherited Emperor Taizong's great achievements and carried them forward; on the other hand, I laid down a large territory for my descendants, expanding the land and population of the Ming Dynasty by at least half.

How can we compete for the title of Shizu Temple? "

Ningxiang echoed without thinking: "Apart from Taizu and Taizong, Shizu is the best temple name. The most accomplished emperors of the Han Dynasty are Taizu, Taizong, Shizu, and Zhongzong.

Zhongzong is not bad, but Zhongzong is Emperor Xiaoxuan, and his husband must be taboo with the word "Xuan", so he can only be Shizu. "

Lin Xiangyu teased from the side: "You two, one dares to speak and the other dares to praise, you are a perfect match. How about we all leave and you two live together."

Ningxiang quickly advised her with a serious face: "Don't, don't, don't. As a husband, a woman has too many things to deal with. If I am the only one left, I will die of exhaustion in a short time."

You'd better stay and share the burden with me. I have a large number of lords and allow you to each get a share of honor and favor. "

Lin Xiangyu asked weakly: "You mean the husband's honor and favor share one stone, you only get six dou, and we each share one dou?"

Ningxiang raised her pretty face and expressed her acquiescence arrogantly. During this period, she turned her bright eyes slightly and peeked at everyone's reactions.

Qianxue took advantage of Ningxiang's unpreparedness and pinched her blushing face: "You girl and Yan'er are a pair of living treasures. They know how to be naughty and mischievous every day. When your husband becomes the ancestor of the world, I will definitely give you a happy concubine. name."

Seeing the excitement, Zhu Qiyu didn't think it was a big deal, and immediately slapped the table: "That's right."

Sure enough, after such a disturbance, the concubines started fighting together again.

……

On the next day, many military reports came from the south.

First of all, Huguang and Guizhou organized the first batch of Miao people to migrate north, with [-] strong men and more than [-] family members.

According to the plan, these people were sent to Liaodong. After arriving, they were dispersed and assigned to Nuergandu Division where possible.

Zhu Qiyu carefully analyzed the map, and then decided to send some Miao people to Hamjing Road, North Korea.

In short, the Miao people originally lived in the mountains, and now sending them to the mountainous areas of Nurgandusi and North Korea can be considered as making the best use of their resources.

Let the Miao, Jurchen, and Korean people love and kill each other. In the next 50 or hundreds of years, the Han people will slowly move in and become the majority, and we will be done.

It would be best if one of your sons or grandsons is capable and has a long reign. Like Jiajing and Wanli, who worked for more than 40 years can completely consolidate the developed frontier.

There was also a military report reporting that Japanese pirates appeared again along the coasts of Zhejiang and Fujian.

After seeing this military report, Zhu Qiyu was determined.The appearance of Japanese pirates again along the coasts of Zhejiang and Fujian means that Japan can no longer sit still.

In order to break through the economic blockade, Japan is ready to break up.

In particular, the economic blockade is aimed at the entire Japan, so the major "vassal governors" in Japan have to unite as one, first fight against foreigners, and then start a civil war.

As a chess piece that had been arranged long ago, Xinguo Gong Tang Jie was appointed as the general military officer of Pingwa and commanded the armies of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces.

Xuanni became the governor of Zhejiang and was jointly responsible for the military and political affairs of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces with Nian Fu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Xue Xilian, the governor of Fujian.

All Nanjing Shangzhiwei went north to North Korea.

At this point, Nanjing has basically been hollowed out, and the only remaining capable army is the Xiaoling Guard, which is being reorganized as the emperor's personal army.

The garrison eunuch Yuan Cheng, the garrison civil servant Sun Yuanzhen, and the garrison noble Duke Xu Chengzong became the "three giants" who controlled Nanjing.

Cheng Jing, Yan Li, Hu Xuan and other close associates of the emperor were responsible for supervision.

The structure of Nanjing is considered stable for the time being. We will only wait for the death of King Yi and the resignation of the prince before purging and reforming Nanjing.Now let’s put Nanjing aside, I won’t be able to take care of it for a while.

This time, Sun Yuanzhen, the Minister of War in Nanjing, was relatively cooperative. After reorganizing the superior guards, they were all sent to the Korean front.

The last military report came from Annan. The new batch of wolf soldiers recruited from Guangxi were really like wolves and tigers, howling and marching into the Champa Kingdom.

The journey was smooth and the momentum was overwhelming. The court did not have to worry about anything else except providing armaments. Even the grain and grass were obtained from Annan and Champa.

After seeing this military report, Zhu Qiyu felt much more comfortable. He would soon capture the city of Champa. Annan and Champa City would be the complete Vietnam.

The next step is to restore the old port that was thrown away like garbage by the two big losers, Xuanmiao and Zhengtong.
