Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 967 Internal and External Training (6)

The special existence of slavery was not unique to the Ming Dynasty. It existed very early. However, Zhu Youxiao made up his mind when he decided to develop intensive manual manufacturing industry and rely on the special period of the Age of Discovery to enable the Ming Dynasty to take a completely new path and become a powerful country on land and sea.

He wants to abolish slavery!

It's not that Zhu Youxiao was so noble. In fact, there was a large population hidden under the Meiji era. This part of the population was not under the control of the central government. They were alive, but they were no different from being dead. All the value they created throughout their lives was seized by the privileged groups.

Perhaps it can be said that in the early stages of the development of intensive handicraft manufacturing, not too many people were needed. It might be impossible to resettle and divert all the existing refugees and bankrupt groups in the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Youxiao firmly believed that as the Ming Dynasty expanded its presence in border areas and coastal regions, intensive manual manufacturing would usher in a development boom. By that time, the Ming Dynasty would need a large number of people to move in.

The previous abolition of the craftsman registration system was an attempt, and also an integration of the craftsman group. Zhu Youxiao needed to make the foundation of the intensive handicraft manufacturing industry more solid.

The Ming Dynasty was too large, and if you wanted to see real results from anything you did, it would take several years or even longer.

In the game and struggle with a group of vested interest groups, Zhu Youxiao understood one thing: if he wanted these guys to give up something on their own initiative, he had to let them feel the pain themselves, then they would be able to truly let go.

The root cause of the unrest in the southeastern provinces was the so-called Japanese invasion. In order to eradicate some treacherous villains, Zhu Youxiao did not reveal this truth. But in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, this was only the first stage of the game and struggle for the central government to actually control the southeastern provinces, and the second stage of unrest would still occur. Zhu Youxiao was aiming at the slave rebellion!

The phenomenon of slave rebellion is the inevitable result of years of suppression. Since channeling it is ineffective, just let this resentment explode!

Zhejiang.

Hangzhou Prefecture.

"Cui Chengxiu and his gang are finally willing to leave." Man Gui sat on the official hat chair at the Zhejiang Anti-Japanese Headquarters, with emotion on his face.

"After so many years of fighting, the only thing I did was to defeat the Japanese in Zhejiang. I think I have become incompetent at fighting. What a waste of time it was to defeat the Japanese!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Dadou followed closely and said, "It's obvious that they think we are fools. If the guys who were arrested during the suppression of the Japanese rebellion were Japanese, then I would become a Japanese too."

Zhou Dunji frowned and said, "No wonder His Majesty said from the beginning that if someone wants to be a Japanese, then let them be a Japanese, and don't feel guilty about killing them."

"At first I didn't understand. How could this Japanese be fake? Now it seems that your Majesty is still wise and powerful. These guys are just a bunch of treacherous villains!"

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat subtle.

"Have you said enough?"

Qi Jin's deep voice sounded, asking Man Gui, Zhang Dadou and the others to sit up straight, with all their eyes focused on Qi Jin.

"I asked you to come here from all over the place, not to listen to these words."

Qi Jin said coldly, "Cui Chengxiu and his men have left, and the entire Integrity Bureau has fled to Southern Zhili, but the Japanese riots in Zhejiang and Fujian have not stopped. The big disturbances have stopped, but the small disturbances have not stopped."

"This is the situation. Your Majesty has never urged us in Beijing, but there are some things that others may not care about, but we must pay attention to them!"

From the beginning, Qi Jin did not believe in the Japanese invasion. He knew the true colors of some people. Since the emperor did not expose the issue and chose to play with these guys, he, as a general of the Ming Dynasty and a newly promoted noble, had to obey the emperor's will. So the fighting in Zhejiang never stopped.

No matter whether it was a big fight or a small fight, it was a fight anyway.

Qi Jin never cared about how much the Japanese were defeated.

But Qi Jin was concerned about one thing. The Integrity Bureau headed by Cui Chengxiu was in Zhejiang, and the Western Investigation Bureau headed by Fang Zhenghua was in Southern Zhili, and they actually arrested and executed many people.

It was precisely because of this that the situation in Jiangxi, which had been somewhat violent, gradually calmed down. This might make many people suspicious, but Qi Jin knew what was going on.

Some people are scared!!
"Qi Shuai, are we going to exert our strength?"

Man Gui was a little excited. He stood up and said to Qi Jin, "Damn it, it's been a long time. It's time to catch them all in one fell swoop, right?"

"Yeah, it's time to catch them all!"

Zhang Dadou followed closely behind.

Looking at the excited generals, Qi Jin remained very calm. Qi Jin knew very well why Man Gui and the others were like this. It was because of the reorganization of the Beijing camp. They wanted to resolve the issues here as soon as possible so that they could return to Beijing to participate in the reorganization.

Compared with some farces in the southeast, these officers really want to get out of it. There are so many things they can do well. After returning to Beijing for reorganization, they can still get a chance to fight.

What a bullshit fight we’re fighting here!

"Catch them all?"

Thinking of this, Qi Jin sneered and said, "Some issues in the southeastern provinces have not been completely resolved. You don't really think that the Japanese in Zhejiang and Fujian can be wiped out by us, right?"

Ok?
This made Man Gui and Zhang Dadou frown.

They are soldiers, pure soldiers. They may have some understanding of things other than fighting, but they are disdainful of really thinking about these things.

"I called you here today because I want to make a few things clear."

Under the gaze of Daodao, Qi Jin said in a clear voice: "First, the large and small naval forces previously planned and built along the Zhejiang coast will be gradually transferred to Cao Wenyao's control. In the future, patrols and anti-smuggling along the Zhejiang coast will be gradually handed over to Cao Wenyao's troops."

"Secondly, the coastal defense of Zhejiang will be transferred from the sea to the land. You will be responsible for your respective jurisdictions. If anyone dares to make any mistakes, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Third, we need to increase the transportation to Songjiang. In addition to the so-called Japanese prisoners, we also need to speed up the round-up of those who have escaped from Fujian. Songjiang is in great need of people now."

"Fourth, from now on, all departments in Zhejiang must conduct a strict investigation, especially in the field of corruption. Anyone caught will be severely punished. Anyone who dares to protect the public will be punished according to military law!"

This……

When Man Gui and the others heard this, their faces changed slightly. It turned out that they still couldn't leave Zhejiang. But how could they know that what Qi Jin said was the decision of the Military Affairs Council. Why did they have to rush back to Beijing for rectification and reorganization? When the rectification of the capital and the surrounding areas was completed, wouldn't the troops in Zhejiang be able to reorganize on the spot? Moreover, they were not the only ones involved in the reorganization...
