"Damn it, Macau is back now?!"

When he saw the battle report, Zhu Youxiao was so surprised that he uttered a curse word, which showed the shock in his heart. At that moment, he carefully read the entire battle report in detail, and he had an understanding of what happened.

"These Portuguese are too arrogant. They dare to use weapons on the land of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Youxiao sighed with emotion. However, this is not surprising. These Westerners have been rampaging half of the world and have always been arrogant.

Before they gained Macau, the Portuguese went to war with the Ming Dynasty many times, but they were all defeated. Then they started bribery and defrauded the Ming Dynasty to get the land of Macau.

However, despite such a compromising attitude, they still established the position of governor themselves. This shows their ambition, and it is no wonder that they took such a tough attitude towards the troops who asked to enter.

After all, according to convention, the army in Guangdong is controlled by the governor, and the governor is fed by them. Naturally, he does not need to pay too much attention to the army below. But what they never expected was that there was such an army in Ming Dynasty.

The army was completely controlled only by the emperor and was not under the jurisdiction of civilian officials.

Faced with their tough attitude, they directly fought back, and their years of hard work were suddenly lost. The entire Macau was occupied by the army. Needless to say, this place will not be returned.

Macau has a superior terrain, facing Hong Kong across the sea. It just controls the entire Lingding Ocean, including Guangzhou Port. It is a natural naval base. Shen Yourong has long taken a fancy to this place and wants to build a large navy like Tianjin here.

The base only took no action because of the local Westerners.

Now that the Westerners have been captured in one fell swoop, they no longer have any worries and can build boldly with confidence. These are all written down in the memorial. Of course, it is not mentioned in it. Because of this incident, many Portuguese merchant ships left.

Guangzhou was somewhat depressed for a while.

However, even if Zhu Youxiao knew about it, he would not care. The issue of sovereignty is non-negotiable, especially in the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for such an autonomous area for foreigners to exist.

After savoring the matter carefully, he put it aside. However, his attitude made Wang Yetai next to him a little strange. Why did His Majesty pay so much attention to it and why was he so happy? Could it be that General Li Tao's approach was very consistent with the Sacred Heart?

"It seems that I have to remember it carefully. If similar matters are handled in this way in the future, His Majesty will definitely look at him differently." Wang Yetai thought secretly in his heart.

Every time Zhu Youxiao commanded the army, he served in the army. After such a long time, his skills did not improve much, but he had a better understanding of the emperor's formal norms and principles.

After flipping through this battle report, he continued to read others. After he left, a lot of things happened in the Ming Dynasty. Reports from various places came to support the memorial, which could at least build a room. What can be presented to him now is very meaningful.

, selected by the cabinet.

"Yan Yingyuan? It's interesting. I didn't expect that the generation of Jiangyin envoys who were famous for their steadfastness and loyalty would have such a scheming side. It's really eye-opening." Zhu Youxiao looked at everything that happened in Yuncheng County and thought about it carefully.

.

Yan Yingyuan's incident can be seen as a signal, a signal that some civil servants are turning to him. The reason why there are two land reform groups is that one is headed by cabinet scholar Zhu Xieyuan to carry out land reform in Shanxi, and the other is headed by the second minister Cui Mingji to carry out land reform in Shanxi.

Land reform in Shandong.

It was because Zhu Youxiao could not trust the officials below him, and he was deeply afraid that their actions full of resentment would arouse civil unrest and lead to real chaos in the world, instead of just a small chaos caused by some blind gentry dragging hundreds of people together as it is now.

.

Nowadays, some officials actively want to carry out land reform, just for the sake of political performance and to shine in front of him. But it is because of these various reasons that such officials will take the initiative to think about his strategy, how to do it well, and how to do it well.

Development, moving closer to him unconsciously, and being assimilated by him.

After so many efforts, many blows, and many divisions and disintegrations, today's civil service group finally has a gap. From the following Duofeng Memorial, which detailed the prefecture and county magistrates' initiative to land reform in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, it became clear that

It can be seen that the wind direction has changed.

The original complaints, complaints, confusion and opposition have now become the support of some people. Zhu Youxiao believes that as time goes by, there will be more and more such people.

However, the first person to eat crabs has always gained the most, and this is also true at this time. These first batch of people who took the initiative to carry out land reform and succeeded are definitely people who are loyal to him and capable.

"Yan Yingyuan was commended, and the Imperial Daily conducted an exclusive interview. Others, including Lu Xiangsheng, were all included in the list of key figures, and they were given special attention and training."

"As for those who fail, they will be punished with a small punishment but with a big warning, and they will be demoted to Liaodong as an official." Of course, in Liaodong, it is impossible to be at the county magistrate level, but just a ninth-grade official in the lower department or even divided into departments.

However, this is already taking care of them. If the cabinet's previous punishments were followed, many people would be relegated to the civilian class.

Of course, the cabinet can be strict, and the emperor can naturally forgive. In Zhu Youxiao's opinion, these people can be rescued and relegated to the northeast just to train them.

Nowadays, the Northeast is in ruins and there is new land to expand. It is definitely a good place to train people by making friends with the local indigenous people and sorting out various intricate relationships. After a few years of experience, I will be transferred to North Korea to become a county.

Let me go through a cleansing process and be able to be promoted steadily again.

After making this instruction, Zhu Youxiao just took a look at the subsequent memorials. There was nothing worthy of his writing, but the situation of frequent rebellions still made him a little worried.

Although they were all minor rebellions, the armies in various places were still somewhat inadequate, so I had better lead my troops back as soon as possible to avoid further trouble.

Now that someone has jumped out, that's about it. Don't look at Zhu Youxiao often shouting that even if the entire Ming Dynasty is smashed, he will continue to implement the reform, but this is just a slogan, and it is really the decision to make it here.

When the time came, he was no longer so determined.

Just like now, I am just an old hen protecting food, afraid that the bottles and jars at home will be smashed.

"It's time to hold an alliance meeting." Zhu Youxiao murmured, and then ordered, "Wang Yetai, please pass on my military order. The alliance meeting will begin tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Yetai was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses.

Is the alliance finally about to begin!?

Thinking of this scene of a gathering of tribes meeting to make an oath, Wang Yetai couldn't help but feel his blood boiling, and he had a feeling in his heart that he should be a real man.

After the order was issued, the entire Qiqihar began to move. Finally, the inspection of the venue, the review of the process, and the requirements for the tribal leaders were all sorted out.

On the second day, the sky was bright and clear, and it was a good weather.

There is no need to rely on the Jurchens' city-building skills. Qiqihar is just a small earthen fence, not very big. Things like alliances cannot be carried out naturally, so the site is newly built, a loess platform and a large piece of flat land.

Many spectator seats.

Soon, as time passed, people came to the seats around the high platform one after another. They were all leaders of the tribe, and they were alone. They sat down on the spot.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the entire venue was full of people, and at this time Zhu Youxiao also appeared here.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

As soon as he appeared, there was a roar of greetings, but this greeting was quite weird, with many strange accents mixed in. This was the accent produced by the local tribes after they learned to speak the Ming Dynasty Mandarin, just like today's foreigners

He speaks like Chinese, with a strange accent.

"Everyone is safe." Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded, holding up his hands in all directions, gesturing for everyone to get up and return to their seats. Surrounded by a group of generals, he himself came to the throne on the highest place on the loess platform.

Sat down.

It is said to be a loess high platform, but in fact only the top floor is built, and the bottom is made of bricks and stones, so it can be made relatively high, far higher than the surrounding seats, reflecting the supreme status of the Ming Emperor.

"I am very relieved that the leaders are here today. It shows that Ming Dynasty is still very popular in this land." Zhu Youxiao said the opening words.

However, as soon as he said these words, many tribal leaders who could understand the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty immediately cursed in their hearts. This is so popular. If all the tribes who refused were not exterminated, do you think we would come?

Of course, Zhu Youxiao didn't know this. All he saw were flattering smiling faces. He continued to talk, "The entire Liaodong, from the Yan State in the Spring and Autumn Period to the later Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty,

Dynasty, this is the land of the Central Plains Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty is Zhengshuo of the Central Plains, so it naturally inherits the legal system and is the master of this Liaodong land."

After hearing these long words, the tribal leaders were almost drowsy. Although these dynasties are all famous, they have nothing to do with you, Ming Dynasty. You can relate to this? It’s not because you have big fists, so this land

It's yours, why are you talking so much?

The leaders were complaining in their hearts. However, they did not dare to show it. They had to nod their heads in agreement. The Ming Dynasty's rule was unavoidable. It was better to accept it. Those who could come here had weighed their opinions and agreed from the bottom of their hearts.

, as for those who disagree, naturally they can’t come.

"Now that Ming Dynasty has become the master of this place, you are naturally also my subjects. I grant you the status of civilians and you can thrive again. You just need to abide by the following policies."

Next, Zhu Youxiao stopped talking and replaced someone else to read out the policy. As for the policy he was talking about, it was the kind of institutional system with the training of soldiers as its core.

Learn Chinese, speak Chinese, wear Hanfu, join the army and become an infantry soldier. As long as these are met, you can become a citizen and enjoy the support of the Ming Dynasty. You don't have to run around for life. You just need to practice martial arts every day and train soldiers, but civilians are worse.

There are many, not only taxes and fees to pay, but also other inconveniences.
