Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 791 Rebuilding Jiangnan

The accumulated evils and cancers in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty were not formed in one or two years. They must have been accumulated bit by bit over many years.

Therefore, if you want to alleviate and eradicate the problem completely, don't think about solving it in one or two years. This is unrealistic and impossible. Therefore, a governance strategy with a core outline and clear priorities is particularly important.

Zhu Youxiao was rational and realistic. He was far from being so arrogant as to think that he could bring the Ming Dynasty back on track in just a few years.

When it really came to fruition, Zhu Youxiao became worried.

"This Cui Chengxiu is really a good knife."

Xiyuan.

Diaoyutai.

Zhu Youxiao leaned back in his recliner, staring at the memorial he held, and said with a half-smile: "The cases investigated in Zhejiang have spread to the provinces along the Yangtze River. No wonder the so-called banditry has begun to appear along the southeastern coastal provinces, and even rebellion has occurred in the heart of Nanjing."

"Brother, there are more places than just these."

Zhu Youjian, who was standing by, said with a serious expression, "River bandits are also rampant in Huguang. When I left Xingdu and returned to Beijing, several prefectures, states and counties were looted."

"I don't know what's going on in Huguang right now, but I do know one thing: if these Jiang bandits are not wiped out as soon as possible, it may affect the suppression of the rebellion in Sichuan and Guizhou."

"Don't worry, it won't affect you."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao smiled faintly, "The Governor of Sichuan and Guizhou, Zhu Xieyuan, sent an urgent message 800 miles away. The She rebel has been suppressed, and all the rebels have been executed. The An rebel will be executed soon. By now, the news that the Sichuan and Guizhou rebels have been suppressed has probably spread to all the southeastern provinces."

"!!!"

Zhu Youjian's face changed slightly. He obviously didn't expect that the Sichuan-Guizhou rebellion that had lasted for so long had been suppressed by the Sichuan-Guizhou side until now.

You have to know that when he was in Hinduism, he heard a lot of rumors from Sichuan and Guizhou. The public opinion was very bad. The government troops were often attacked or failed to suppress the government troops. As a result, the grain prices in Huguang area also fluctuated with these public opinions.

Compared with before, Zhu Youjian has changed a lot.

When Zhu Youjian was canonized as the grandson of the King of Tang, he rushed to Korea as a royal minister. Zhu Youjian was sent to Hinduism to be responsible for the reorganization of Xianlingwei.

All that he saw before and after had a great impact on Zhu Youjian. It seemed that everything about the Ming Dynasty that he knew in the capital was prosperous. Although there were border troubles and disasters, everything was under control. But after leaving the capital and arriving at the local area, he found too many problems.

From the moment he left the capital and headed south, Zhu Youjian couldn't believe that what he saw was real, especially when he left Henan and entered Huguang. What he saw and heard along the way made Zhu Youjian want to kill people, kill a lot of people!

"But the river bandits that have grown in Huguang must also be eliminated as soon as possible."

While Zhu Youjian was thinking, Zhu Youxiao said, "If we don't clear up the rebellion, there will be big problems sooner or later. I have decided to send Zhao Lujiao to be the governor of Huguang and concurrently the commander of Huguang. I will also send Deng Qilong, Zhang Mingshi, Tang Jiuzhou, Sun Xianzu and other generals to Huguang to take up their posts."

"While clearing out the Huguang river bandits, we will also reorganize the Huguang troops and strengthen the control of Huguang's river defense. I want to see if Huguang will continue to be in chaos in the future!"

"Brother, it may not be enough to rely on them alone." Zhu Youjian seemed a little hesitant after hearing this, but thinking of the various things in Huguang, he still said what he was thinking, "The situation in Huguang is quite complicated, and some forces are intertwined. Zhao led them..."

"Then what if I promote Fan Jingwen to be the governor of Huguang?"

Zhu Youxiao raised his lips slightly and said, "With them in Huguang, they can solve the problems in Huguang, right?"

"Is Fan Jingwen's qualifications still a little short?"

Zhu Youjian frowned and said, "As far as I know, Fan Jingwen was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli. Before that, he assisted in the military affairs of the Beijing Camp, but he was criticized a lot."

"Almost, then do your job well!"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and said, "In the Ming Dynasty, there is no such thing as seniority. Whoever can help me govern the country will be promoted."

"I can tolerate some chaos in other places, but not in Huguang. Cui Chengxiu and his men still have a lot of things to deal with in Zhejiang. Under the current situation, if Huguang dares to cause chaos, it will cause big problems!!"

Zhu Youxiao certainly knew that Fan Jingwen's qualifications were inferior. He was only 36 years old this year, but he was being specially promoted to the governor of Huguang, becoming a frontier official. There must have been a lot of criticism and condemnation behind his back.

Just like when Hong Chengchou was specially promoted to the governor of Liaodong, he was only in his early thirties and was also subject to many doubts and criticisms. But it was because Liaodong had become a place of controversy, especially since the promulgation of the responsibility of defending the territory, no one was willing to go to Liaodong, so Hong Chengchou was able to stay in Liaodong.

Like the two mentioned above, in Zhu Youxiao's plan, they should stay for at least ten years, that is, two terms. With these ten years, as long as they can do their work well, many accumulated problems can be alleviated and eliminated.

When the term expires, you can be transferred back to the center.

There are quite a few people like this in Zhu Youxiao's booklet. Their promotion trajectories are clear. As long as nothing goes wrong during the period, most of them will be promoted to the core and become the backbone of the Ming Dynasty.

"So my royal brother proposed to immigrate to Liao because he had a premonition that there would be big problems in the southeast?" Zhu Youjian seemed to have thought of something and said to Zhu Youxiao.

"From the grain transport, to customs duties and tea taxes, to mining taxes... I don't even want to list all the problems existing in the southeast." Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, leaned forward, and stood up on the recliner with his hands.

"After learning this, I realized that the southeastern provinces were nominally Ming's, but in reality they were divided up by a large number of demons and monsters. Damn it! I am not a king who will lose his country, and I will not tolerate such a thing happening."

"There are problems in the southeast. Fine. Then I will create another Jiangnan. I want the whole world to know that the Ming Dynasty cannot be separated from the southeast. In addition to the southeast, there is also Northern Zhili, Shandong, Henan, and Liaodong!"

"While I am fighting these evil spirits, I will ask these places to develop well, especially Liaodong. If they can be developed, the impact will be far-reaching."

Since ascending the throne, Zhu Youxiao has thought about many things, but the only thing he has never thought about is compromise. Behind him is an abyss, and if he takes a step back, he will be doomed.

Since this is the situation, let's just have fun. At worst, I can give up my country and leave the capital, and fight for the country again.

Without any worries, Zhu Youxiao had nothing to fear.

The attention on Liaodong is indeed high at the moment, but with the emergence of some things, the attention on Liaodong will decrease, and Liaodong will then focus on development. As for other things, with his support behind him, Zhu Youxiao has never been afraid of anyone!
