Reincarnation of Wuzhitianjing

Chapter 79

Chapter 79
The news spreads all over the world, the world shakes, there are those who are worried, those who are happy, and those who have mixed feelings in their hearts.

Needless to say, those who are worried must be the Qing Dynasty and Wu Sangui's Great Zhou Dynasty; those who are happy, besides the original Ming Zheng Dynasty and the current Da Zheng Dynasty, are the righteous men in the world who are determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty, and those who are full of troubles. The people who were oppressed by the Qing government and suffered from the flames of war; and those who had mixed feelings in their hearts were also those righteous men who were determined to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. It is foreseeable that even if the Qing government is overthrown, it will no longer be the Ming Dynasty, but the new Zheng Dynasty.

At the first court meeting after becoming king, Zheng Kezang made several appointments to ensure the smooth progress of the military and political affairs of the provinces and the relocation of the capital.

Wu Liuqi was appointed governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to govern Guangdong and Guangxi provinces.Wu Liuqi was able to manage the army well and was good at fighting. Zheng Kezang was very relieved to have him in the territory of Guangdong and Guangxi bordering Wu Sangui's Great Zhou Dynasty.

The reason why Zheng Kezang arranged Wu Liuqi here was not only to guard against Wu Sangui, but also had another deep meaning, that is, one day, when the time was right, Wu Liuqi could act cheaply and directly attack Wu Sangui's Great Zhou Dynasty.I believe that with Wu Liuqi's great talent, Zheng Kezang will not be disappointed.

Appoint Gu Feng as governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, governing Fujian and Zhejiang provinces.Gu Reng, courtesy name Nanjin, was born in Songmen, Taiping County, Taizhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province.A great contemporary Confucianist, well-versed in government affairs, and has his own unique views on business matters.

The land of Fujian and Zhejiang does not border either the Qing court or Wu Sangui's Zhou Dynasty, so there is no war for the time being, and it is adjacent to the sea. important place.Therefore, after much deliberation, Zheng Kezang decided to entrust this place to Gu Reng.

Liu Zhibin was appointed Governor of Liangjiang to govern Jiangxi and AH provinces.Liu Wenjie is Zheng Kezang's confidant and beloved general. Wentao and Wulue are rare generals in the world. It is because of Zheng Kezang that this borders on the forces of the Qing court. He will have to confront the Qing army for a long time to come. The land of the two rivers was handed over to him to guard.

The strategic position of these two rivers is extremely important. In the entire Dazheng Dynasty, there are only a handful of people who can take on this heavy responsibility. The general, who is responsible for managing the major military and political affairs of the Zheng Dynasty, is obviously not a suitable candidate; in this way, Liu Zhibin is the only person who can be entrusted by the land of two rivers.

But because of this, Liu Zhibin, who had become a local official, was no longer suitable for the position of deputy commander of Jinyiwei and had to resign from this position.

When it comes to Jinyiwei, it has to be said that after the establishment of the Dazheng Dynasty, the responsibilities of the wolf guards have changed. The blood wolf battalion shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting the Forbidden City, Zheng Kezang, Chen Yan'er, and their relatives, that is, the big internal guards .

The remaining eight battalions of wolf guards turned into [-] imperial guards, Zheng Kezang's pro-army, who only had to be responsible to Zheng Kezang, and did not need to obey anyone else, including the command of the general.

Zhang Wenjie also took off his position as the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, and was appointed by Zheng Kezang as the commander of the imperial army and the chief of the Ouchi guards.

As for the fifth battalion of Eagle Guards, they will be directly responsible to Chen Yan'er, and each battalion has a town emissary, operating as usual, and monitoring the world.

In the end, Zheng Kezang appointed Dong Yu as the ambassador to move the capital, fully responsible for all matters related to the capital move, and temporarily assigned the Mingying, Falcon, and Dark Eagle battalions to him to command.

Dong Yu's command was determined, and even major events and small affections were personally handled. It took nearly three months and countless manpower and material resources. Finally, he lived up to everyone's expectations and successfully completed the transfer of the capital.

During this period, it may be because Wu Liuqi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Liu Zhibin, the governor of Liangjiang, both guarded the border strictly to prevent Wu Sangui and the Qing court from provoking troubles, and did not give the two sides any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Or, the Eagle Guards of the Third Battalion are dedicated to their duties, closely monitoring and investigating the movements of all forces in the provinces. Any sign of something wrong will be killed in the bud. Although the process is inevitably bloody and has caused a lot of killings, It successfully frightened away the other thoughts of some people or forces, and finally ensured that the move of the capital proceeded smoothly.

After moving the capital and establishing the capital, Zheng Kezang, with great enthusiasm, immediately promulgated a decree exempting the eight provinces from taxes for ten years.When the government order was issued to the provincial capitals and county towns, the people cheered and cheered, and the hearts of the people were initially attached.

As for, where will the financial revenue of the Dazheng Dynasty come from in the next ten years?We must know that in this era, taxes are the main source of a country's finances.

But these are not too big of a problem for Zheng Kezang. In his national policy planning, not only in the next ten years, but even in the longer term, the main source of finance for the Dazheng Dynasty will no longer be taxes. , but gradually lead to commerce and trade, as well as commerce and taxation.

This not only requires the Dazheng Dynasty to pay more attention to commerce and trade, even overseas commerce, but also to encourage the commerce and trade industry under its rule.

In order to encourage commerce and trade, the first problem that Zheng Kezang had to solve was the status of merchants.

The so-called scholars, farmers, industry, and merchants have existed since ancient times. The status of merchants has always been the lowest, and they have been the least valued by the world.Even now, although the status of businessmen has eased, the fundamental problem has not been resolved.Fortunately, the world is in great turmoil nowadays, and Zheng Kezang in the Dazheng Dynasty can be said to be arbitrary. Although the implementation of this matter is still hindered by traditional concepts, it is not too difficult.

After many discussions with Chen Yan'er, Chen Jinnan, Dong Yu and other important officials, the matter was handed over to Dong Yu, the new servant of the Ministry of Commerce, with the full support of Chen Jinnan and the six departments in charge.

Time flies, and two years have passed in a blink of an eye. In the 15th year of Kangxi, after two years of hard work, the Dazheng Dynasty has undergone rapid changes. Not only the government orders are smooth, but the people in the rule live and work in peace and contentment.

In terms of the army, Jinyiwei was eliminated, and the army was expanded to more than [-], of which [-] were stationed in Guangdong and Guangxi, [-] were stationed in Liangjiang, [-] were stationed in Jiangsu Province, and the remaining [-] were distributed in the remaining provinces.

And Zheng Kezang's most important business has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Under his rule, the business industry has developed, and the financial contribution this year is several times that of before. This is also an important cornerstone for the rapid development of the Dazheng Dynasty.Today, the status of businessmen has been greatly improved, and they are on the same level as farmers and workers, and they are no longer looked down upon by the world.

In the same year, the situation in the world also had new changes, and it was a year when the military situation of the Qing court and Wu Sangui's Great Zhou Dynasty took an important turning point.

Wu Sangui raised his army for more than four years, especially in the last two years of perennial battles with the Qing court in the Huguang land. Although he finally won the Huguang land, he suffered heavy losses.
