Five hundred and eighty-two chapters five-year rotation
"Tell me!" Tang He pointed at Han Du's nose angrily, "If you can't solve my confusion, please look carefully at your skin."
Han Du didn't expect Tang He's reaction to be so big. Could it be that Lao Zhu really left such a deep shadow in his heart?
"My lord, this place is about to be surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. From your perspective, how should the Ming Dynasty be governed?"
Tang He suddenly felt calm after hearing this. Indeed, since this place has been surrendered, the Ming Dynasty will naturally need to govern it. Otherwise, if it has the ability to take it, but not the ability to govern it, if this spreads out, it will not sound good.
But how to govern it? Han Du asked Tang He.
This place is isolated overseas, thousands of miles away from the nearest place to the Ming Dynasty, and even thousands of miles away from the capital. It is not an easy task to manage this place well.
As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Even the people sent by the imperial court will not be at ease at such a long distance. After all, it is too far and there is a sea between them. Once something happens, the imperial court will have to take too long to react. It is completely
It's just out of reach. In fact, this is what Zhao Xian and others are worried about.
Moreover, Zhao Xian and others are not economical. Even if the court sends officials, do you think these people will be obedient? Whatever the court says, they are what they are? This is simply impossible. Everyone will do it.
If you have your own interests, you will naturally favor yourself if you have interests.
Tang He thought about it again and again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that every idea was unworkable and he didn't know what to do. With all his experience and knowledge, he suddenly ran out of ideas.
But although he didn't know, he knew that Han Du must have a way.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart if you have any. If you dare to imitate those scholars again and show off your sourness, I'll see how I deal with you."
Han Dufeng smiled, but felt a little unhappy in his heart. Strictly speaking, he was also a scholar. If he scolded the scholar in front of him, wouldn't he be scolding himself as well?
Isn’t this pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey?
Unfortunately, facing Tang He, Han Du could only endure being scolded. He also explained to Tang He with a flattering smile, "My lord, after all, this place is different from the Ming Dynasty. My lord, I thought that this place would be able to change immediately."
Does it have to be the same as in the Ming Dynasty?"
Tang He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and sighed: "I'm afraid not. Even if it becomes the same as Ming Dynasty, it should be something in the future."
"Yes, the boy thinks so too." Han Du slapped his thigh happily, as if his idea hit it off with Tang He. He continued: "Since it is impossible for this place to become the same as the Ming Dynasty, then we can only eat a mouthful of rice.
I think that even if the imperial court establishes prefectures and counties, it should be based on local conditions and be different from those in the Ming Dynasty."
"Let's be honest, what do you want to do?" Tang He was too lazy to talk around Han Du.
Han Du did not hesitate and said directly: "First of all, this place is too far away from the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is a navy, it is impossible for the navy to guard here all the time. Moreover, the situation here is complicated. There are natives on the island, and there are many people in the sea.
If there are Japanese pirates, a battle may break out at any time. Therefore, even if the imperial court establishes prefectures and counties, the military and political power must be decentralized."
"Wait, you mean to establish a feudal town?" Tang He couldn't help but frown.
"Exactly." Han Du admitted with a smile. Not only here, but also on Yaeshan Island, Han Du was also prepared to propose the establishment of a feudal town.
The vassal town or the governor's palace was Han Du's idea since he went to sea. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to expand to the sea, it was indispensable to establish colonies. Since these colonies were all isolated overseas and too far away from the Ming Dynasty, they faced a very difficult situation.
It is complicated, and even needs to respond to enemy attacks at any time. Therefore, it is impossible to be like in the Ming Dynasty, where the yamen only took care of the civil affairs and not the military affairs, and the military affairs had to be in charge.
But once the military and political affairs are in one hand, a problem will arise. That is to separate the regime, and listen to the instructions but not the announcement. Therefore, someone must be very trusted by the emperor to be in charge of a vassal town. For example, Lao Zhu gave him several sons
They all sealed their lands, especially the nine frontier kings. Military and political power was concentrated in the hands of the nine kings. These were the nine largest vassal towns in the Ming Dynasty.
"If a vassal town was established here, it would be able to solve the problem of being beyond the reach of the imperial court, but I am afraid that no vassal king would be willing to come overseas. Moreover, the emperor would not be willing to drive the kings to such a far place." Tang He shook his head with some pity.
He shook his head. Han Du's idea was good, and it could solve multiple problems here. But there was only one thing. No vassal king would be willing to go so far to guard it.
Han Du still had a smile on his face, without the slightest worry in his heart. Han Du had never thought of letting one of the kings guard this place, not because he looked down on them. But because the Ming Dynasty only had Yaeshan Island and Luzon.
The two vassal towns are not bad, but with the growth of the navy, vassal towns like this in the Ming Dynasty will inevitably spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Even if Lao Zhu is able to give birth again, is it possible that all the children in the world he can still give birth to are his sons?
"Master, what if officials are allowed to take charge of this place?"
"Official?" Tang He's eyes suddenly widened and he shouted angrily: "Are you crazy? Why does the emperor let officials guard the feudal town?"
"Why won't the emperor agree?" Han Du had a different idea.
When Tang He heard this, he sneered and said: "Are you really not aware, or are you pretending not to know? You yourself also said that this place is isolated overseas, and the court is beyond the reach of this place. If an official is allowed to take charge of the military and political affairs here, it will be impossible for eight years in ten years.
Years later, when he is full-fledged, will he still obey the imperial court? It would be strange if he does not proclaim himself king. Your idea is just inviting trouble for yourself."
Han Du did not show any sign of remorse, but continued to smile and said: "My father-in-law also said that it will take ten or eight years for them to be fully fledged. What if we only allow them to stay for five years? Within five years, he will gather
The military and political power are combined in one person. After five years, he must be transferred back to Beijing or transferred elsewhere."
Han Du set the term of office of these officials as an iron rule through the practice of changing the term. Once the five years are up, no matter what the reason is, they must be transferred to another place. And a person wants to transfer one place to another place within five years.
The iron bucket made is ordinary, but it is impossible.
Moreover, Han Du prepared more than one backup plan.
"Transferred to another place in five years?" When Tang He heard Han Du's words, he suddenly calmed down and seriously thought about the feasibility of this move. Tang He thought for a long time and couldn't find any loopholes in this move, but he still felt vague in his heart.
