Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 467: Border trouble spreads to Beijing

"It's better to be messy. It's better to be messy now than to be messy in the future. If a thick sore appears, it must be squeezed. How can it be cured if it is not squeezed? These conditions in the Imperial College now are normal phenomena. The Qing family will Just control the general direction."

Qianqing Palace.

Dong Nuan Pavilion.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, showed a faint smile after reading the memorial presented by Xu Guangqi, and looked at the worried Xu Guangqi.

Ever since a large number of scholars gathered around Fengtian Gate and were arrested by the Beijing Security Admiral Office led by Chen Ce, the situation in the capital has quietly changed.

Various public opinions related to Confucianism have since then begun to bloom in many aspects. There are many things to talk about and some to preach. However, in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, these all belong to the category of the new great ritual debate he started.

If you want to truly change the Ming Dynasty, your thinking must change!

The backward, conservative and stubborn attitude must be abandoned!

If these dregs cannot be completely eradicated, even if the Ming Dynasty really fights in the future and opens up and occupies many territories overseas, it will still be lost sooner or later.

After all, deep down in the hearts of many people, they have never felt that the territories outside China are much richer than China. They are just uncivilized wild lands. So what if they are lost?

Zhu Youxiao wants to establish a new concept, that is, to expand the limits of China's territory and expand the idea of ​​unification to these territories, so that the new territories to be added will become an integral part of China and have undisputed legal principles. form of domination.

Even if the Ming Dynasty is inevitably overthrown one day, if these territories cannot be unified and brought under the rule of a centralized dynasty, it will not be a complete dynasty.

How can there be any dynasty that remains unchanged for thousands of years?

Zhu Youxiao never expected that the Ming Dynasty could maintain its rule in the future. After all, when the dynasty developed to a certain extent, class consolidation would only become more serious, and this would inevitably breed many scandals.

If we don't find ways to solve these problems, the bottom class, which has been squeezed and exploited for a long time, will eventually explode completely.

Regarding the current Ming Dynasty, the reason why Zhu Youxiao has full confidence and can find ways to solve it bit by bit is simply because of his vision and ideological advantages.

Zhu Youxiao knew that there was still an extremely vast world outside the Ming Dynasty, which allowed him to shift conflicts step by step, trade space for time, and continuously increase the upper limit of the Ming Dynasty's rule.

In this special period of rapid expansion of the Great Navigation, the countries of the Europa Continent have joined in and started the road to colonial rule, but the Ming Dynasty is much stronger than them, not to mention occupying an absolute geographical advantage!

Even if there are many problems within the Ming Dynasty, they are not comparable to those of these countries.

From ancient times to the present, China has been unified countless times, but what about Europa? Even if there is a unified situation, it is extremely short-lived.

The idea of ​​​​unification has never appeared in that land. No matter how well disguised a group of bandits are, they have no foundation after all!

"Your Majesty, I am still a little worried. After all, this year's examination is about to start."

The worried Xu Guangqi raised his hand and bowed to Zhu Youxiao: "In the next few days, the number of scholars from all over the Ming Dynasty will increase. If this is the case..."

"Okay, let's not talk about these things. I know it well."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted: "Let's talk about Liaodong's trial of water diversion for rice planting. There are some problems in the capital now. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Qing family to go to Liaodong?" "There are also high-yielding sweet potatoes, corns, potatoes, etc." Can the people sent to Liaodong in the name of the Shaofu do a good job of trial planting crops in Liaodong?"

Compared with what is happening now, Zhu Youxiao is more concerned about some deployments in Liaodong. If Liaodong wants to usher in a new life, it must not only rely on the counter-insurgency war to continuously solve various practical problems and long-term disadvantages, but also take advantage of this opportunity. Only if we have the opportunity to develop farming, open up wasteland and cultivate land, and gather the population.

Only when the agricultural level, population base, infrastructure, etc. in Liaodong reach a certain scale, will the Liaodong region in the future be able to take advantage of the development trend of Beizhili to quickly carry out the construction of intensive handmade manufacturing industries in various places.

If you can't even meet the above basic conditions, then everything is just wishful thinking!

The development and governance of a region cannot be separated from people. If there is not enough population base, even governance will be difficult.

"I think they can do a good job."

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi's expression changed. "I was originally afraid of this situation, so I specifically asked Chen Jinglun and others to go to Liaodong. After all, this matter is related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Since they went to Liaodong, I have kept in touch with them. I am very clear about the situation in various parts of Liaodong. I will also try to go to Liaodong, whether it is to divert water to plant rice, or to try to grow sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, etc. If we can all achieve this in Liaodong, Liaodong will definitely usher in great governance in the future!"

"I'll leave these important matters to the Qing family."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Right now, I have a lot of things to deal with. These matters involving Liaodong, as long as there are any problems, the Qing family can make arbitrary decisions. I still say what I said, if you lack money, give money, if you lack people, give people. As long as it can be solved, I will fully support it."

Liaodong, in a sense, was the experimental ground for the Ming Dynasty to explore new roads, involving military and political levels, agricultural levels, and other levels. Zhu Youxiao decentralized various ideas to Liaodong for implementation.

As long as the evils and problems that have arisen in Liaodong can be successfully solved under this situation, they can also be solved in other parts of Ming Dynasty!

"Report!! Urgent report from nine sides!!"

Under this situation, when Zhu Youxiao wanted to inquire about the situation of the North Korean Crown Prince Li Qi in the Imperial College, an urgent voice sounded.

Zhu Youxiao's expression changed.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from all sides!"

Under the watchful eye of Zhu Youxiao, he saw Jin Xuan, the official on duty at the Military Affairs Academy, hurriedly ran into Dongnuan Pavilion, bowed to the emperor and said: "According to the urgent report from the Intelligence Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Military Affairs Bureau, Qingli Department 800 miles away, in the first month of the year At the beginning, the Hetao Mongols invaded Yan'an, Huanghua Valley and other places, going 600 miles deep and killing tens of thousands of people. The governor Zhang Zhihou and the commander-in-chief Du Wenhuan could not find out!"

What is supposed to come will eventually come.

Zhu Youxiao frowned. Since the establishment of the Military Affairs Council, the manpower of the Qing officials under its jurisdiction has been increasing. This also makes the Military Affairs Council not only responsible for suppressing the rebellions of Liaodong Jianlu and Southwest chieftains, but also We also began to assign manpower to guard some important places.

The purpose is to solve the unexpected war situation!

After all, the Ming Dynasty was too big, and the Ministry of War alone could not take care of everything. Even if the Minister of the Ministry of War was Wang Xiangqian, Zhu Youxiao was worried about the people under him.
