Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 435 Entrusting the Land
Numerous heads of Manchurian military nobles and Han gentry of the Qing court were successively loaded on ships and transported away.

The reason for shipping it away is to prepare to send it to the Qing court's ruled area in various ways.

Of course, it was not Zhu Youjian who wanted to let the heads of these Han thieves go back to their hometowns for burial, but to build a Beijing temple in various ways to deter the Qing Dynasty.

Countless people were also tied up and sent to various factories to undergo labor reform in batches.

And countless young people were sent to Dongfan Island.

From a certain point of view, whether it is the victory of the Manchu Qing war or the victory of the rebellion against the feudal kings, Zhu Youjian has brought great gains, not only the prestige but also these human resources.

The capital industry in the form of trusts in the Ming Dynasty began to enter a stage of rapid development.

Although the age of steam has not yet arrived, it is infinitely close to the age of steam.

A large number of human resources sent here due to the defeat of the war gave a great boost to the industrialization of Ming Dynasty.

Although prisoners die every day due to various accidents, they are only a small number after all.

After all, although the life value of these laborers is very low, they are still valuable, and the factory will also issue precautions and management rules to reduce the losses of laborers.

After a large number of laborers promoted the industry, what Zhu Youjian saw was that the output of basic industrial raw materials such as three acids and one alkali in Daming increased significantly.

The storage of firearms, artillery, warships, ammunition and other ordnance supplies has reached unprecedented achievements.

Large-scale factories continue to expand.

The factories in the southwestern direction of the entire Nanjing city almost extend to the Taipingfu area.

Between Jiangning Town and Jianyangwei, Ma'anshan, which belongs to Taiping Prefecture, has been officially established as the second center of Daming's new industrial zone.

Almost all basic industries such as iron and steel industry and chemical industry are expanded here.

And there are millions of people here.

There are officials, professional scholars or craftsmen with professional titles such as academicians, academicians and professors, and there are also a large number of low-level managers and obedient laborers.

Because of this, the Chongzhen 21-type flintlock gun was able to quickly equip the entire army in large quantities.

The main equipment of the Ming Guards was being updated rapidly.

During this period, Zhu Youjian also presided over the expansion of the fiefdoms of the vassal kings after the execution of the war criminals was completed.

When they heard that the court really wanted to discuss the expansion of the fiefdom, the vassal kings were all excited at first.

On the day when the court meeting officially started, the vassal kings all got up early.

Although it is already severe winter and extremely cold, they all came to Qianqing Palace early to wait for the beginning of the court meeting.

"How do you think His Majesty will expand our fiefdom, whether to seal us in Hangzhou, Huzhou, Jiazhou or Yangzhou?"

"I look at it alone, I'm afraid it's Nanchang, Wuchang, Ruichang, Shunchang, Guangchang."

"It doesn't matter what kind of prefecture he is in. Although Daming is relatively safe now, it is going to be peaceful in the end. There is no place in this southern country where we can live freely. Even if His Majesty grants Qiongzhou to Gu, Gu will be happy!"

Because what Zhu Youjian said was to expand their fiefdoms and even re-divide them, these feudal lords have been studying Daming and those territories these days.

These vassal kings are now very familiar with the existing prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they discuss it now, they can name several states and several prosperity.

"Today's court discussion is not only about expanding the fiefdoms of the feudal lords, but also granting fiefdoms to nobles above the Earl of Ming Dynasty."

At the beginning of the court discussion, Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, spoke first.

However, as soon as Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said the words, the feudal lords present were shocked. They didn't expect that His Majesty would not only expand their fiefdoms but also grant fiefdoms to the nobles.

When the feudal kings took a look, they saw that Huang Degong, Qin Liangyu, Zhou Yuji, Liu Fangliang, He Xin, Li Banghua, Li Mingrui, Liu Kongzhao, Zheng Zhilong, etc. were all here.

Everyone was very surprised, thinking to themselves that His Majesty really wanted to imitate the old Taizu Dafeng vassal king and his officials?
It seems that Daming is really going to start over.

Therefore, Gao Hongtu first put forward a sentence: "Before the court discusses the matter of enfeoffment, the ministers have to say something first, and all princes should understand a sentence, the so-called Putian, is it the king's land, the land of the land, is it the land of the king?" Wang Chen, since Your Majesty wants to entrust part of this world to you, although you are honorable, you should abide by the way of being a minister, and don't have evil thoughts. The blood of the rebels at Taiping Gate has not yet dried up, I hope you can remember it! "

When Gao Hongtu, the chief minister of the cabinet, said this, the vassal kings and meritorious officials hurriedly stood up to respond.

And Zhu Youjian also stood up and shouted: "Bring the map!"

Sure enough, after a while, several members of the cabinet from Zhongshushe took out a huge map.

The vassal kings and heroes and nobles saw a map of the world, and Ming Dynasty seemed to be only a part of it.

"I believe you all know what kind of map this is, this is the whole map of Kunyu Wanguo!

It's just an improved and more accurate map. All the land in the world we live in is on it, and the territories that don't have a political power on it now belong to my Ming Dynasty!
From now on, I!That is, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty officially announced to the world:
These lands are all the territory of my Ming Dynasty!

And it was also renamed by me, Ming, this place is called America, this place is Oceania, this place is Africa, this place is Asia, and this place is named after Antarctica.

These territories are the inherent territories of Ming Dynasty, and no one shall violate them!

I have ordered the Ministry of Households to complete the statistics of the fiefs of Er and other vassals. Princes will be granted ten times more, county kings will be granted eight times more, and those below the county king will be granted five times more. Bestowed, the Marquis bestowed on the basis of the state, and the Earl bestowed on the basis of the county;

However, the sealed territory is to be west of this mountain (Ural Mountains), west of this river (Ural River), west of this lake (Caspian Sea), and then along this mountain range (Greater Caucasus Mountains) all the way to Uz Tibet, Managa, Sumatra and all the way to Xiaodongyang!
This mountain range (Ural Mountains) is named Daming Mountains, this river (Ural River) is named Daming River, this lake (Caspian Sea) is named Daming Sea, and the entire ocean (Pacific Ocean) is named Daming Ocean. The entire territory of Asia is the central territory of Ming Dynasty!
Apart from this, all vassal kings and heroes are free to choose. Nowadays, there are many so-called Western powers in this place called Europa. Of course, if you want to have your own fiefs here, I will agree You, but it will take time and force.

Do you have any objection to this? "

When Zhu Youjian asked such a question, the vassal kings were all dumb.

They naturally have objections, but they don't know what to say, they can't just say that Your Majesty, you have been playing tricks on us!
On the contrary, the heroes and nobles expressed their position first: "I have no objection!"

In the past, the meritorious officials and honorable officials were at most just receiving a generous salary with a title and enjoying some tax-free privileges, but there were no land entrusted.

Now that they were granted fiefdoms, they naturally had no objection. Although these fiefdoms seemed far away and unreliable, it was better to have their own land than none.

Therefore, the heroes and nobles directly agreed with Zhu Youjian's decision, and were even very happy. After all, it is indeed a good thing to be granted a fief.
