Ambassador Yang has worked so hard, so of course everyone must understand his difficulties.
so……
Let’s all disperse!
Just like Ambassador Yang said, are you worthy of complaining to these princes?
Or you can also say...
Are you cheap?
"It's really cheap.
This kind of despicable behavior has been common since ancient times.
A group of people at the bottom are complaining about the billionaires who were caught, a group of common people are complaining about the grievances of the powerful, a group of the ruled are complaining about the ruling class, and a group of slaves are complaining about their masters, as if they feel the same, but they don't think about it at all.
Do you think you are worthy?"
Yang Feng looked at the soldiers who had been deceived by him and sighed with emotion.
Of course, these soldiers also returned to their respective homes.
However, he made a promise to them that the imperial court would definitely abolish some of the northern guards.
This is inevitable.
With the surrender of Mongolia, the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty's northern border defense system no longer exists. The hundreds of thousands of military households established for this purpose have also lost their combat targets, and raising them costs the court a huge amount of money. Military households are not real
They don’t need to be raised by the court, otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang wouldn’t have to transport a large amount of military rations to Jiubian every year. Only their equipment maintenance, training, horses, military uniforms, and officials at all levels under the guard system all require the court to pay. Large-scale firearms
After the Civilization, the annual training expenses alone amounted to a huge sum of money, so the military households in the north were bound to be disbanded.
but……
Just cut down and streamlined.
Maintaining a strong army in the north remains essential.
After all, regardless of the Mongols or the Wus, these are all just temporary surrenders.
Whenever there is a chance in the future, they will still cause trouble.
In Yang Feng's plan, not only can the three capital divisions of Huining, Yanran and Hanhai not be reduced, but the number of guard posts must be increased. Just like Yanran and Hanhai, they all have at least three guards, but not like the military households in the mainland.
It has been stationed for generations, but takes the same rotation as the guards in Whale Sea.
But this must allow them to obtain sufficient local benefits.
So it has to be developed accordingly.
As for the Four Capital Divisions of the Western Regions, he had already planned this with Zhu Di before.
It’s still the model of an armed reclamation company.
These places are different from the two capitals in Mobei. Mobei is really not worth developing, and it cannot continue to immigrate. The four capitals in the Western Regions can accommodate even if all the current population of the Ming Dynasty is moved there. Therefore, these four capitals must be
With continuous immigration and even continuous immigration from generation to generation, if you want the people in the mainland to travel thousands of miles away, you must adopt the armed settlement model. The military household system is unreasonable and is restricted by the court, but for commercial armed settlement, there are no restrictions at all.
After all, it's a bit darker to do things there.
As for the health centers in places like Henan, Beiping, Shaanxi, especially Xuanda, Daning, and Liaodong, they can be greatly reduced.
Restore citizenship.
The Weisuo land was distributed directly to them.
In fact, they don’t really have to go back to the south. Many of these guard military households are from the north themselves. As long as the fields are divided and they don’t have to pay nearly half of the production to the guard every year, they can still have enough food and clothing. Besides, now
Even if they want to go back to the south, there is not that much land in the south. Many of them have moved north for nearly 30 years. In such a long time, a large number of people have been born in their places of origin. This is no longer the time when they moved north. They have been in the north for nearly 30 years.
Years later, they established a family, and their homes in the south have long since disappeared. Most of them actually stayed after the land was divided.
The worst case scenario is giving subsidies.
Military households like this can definitely be treated as retired.
Give retirement pension.
Give until death.
In short, the army of 200,000 was finally dismissed by Yang Feng with a few words.
He and the little princess then entered Kaifeng.
The kings headed by King Zhou greeted them in front of the city gate with some sadness. The little princess read out the imperial edict to her brother and nephews, and these vassal kings also accepted the edict. Then Yang Feng and the little princess waited here for half a month.
Later, the four kings of Yan and Liaoning Valley arrived, but this time they did not bring a large number of guards, but they only had Guo Ying's coffin.
Yellow River Ferry.
"The rolling waters of the Yangtze River pass eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times!"
Under the setting sun, Zhu Di looked at the roaring Yellow River in front of him with some sadness.
On the dock next to him, Guo Ying's coffin was being carried out.
The King of Liao filially carried the coffin of his father-in-law in person. By this time, the truth had leaked out. It was under his painstaking persuasion that Guo Ying finally chose to prove her loyalty to Emperor Daxing. Moreover, under the leadership of Wu Dinghou, several others
A number of subordinate veterans who originally did not have to follow the Daxing Emperor also chose to follow the Daxing Emperor. For example, Yuan Hong and others are sincere. After all, they are buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum and enjoy the Ancestral Temple. This is really enough for their descendants.
It is said that he has gained a golden body. Anyway, he is already old and has no ambitions. Instead of dying of old age and illness, it is better to use this method to exchange for this guarantee of wealth and prosperity for his descendants.
After this round of deaths, the only remaining founding veteran still alive was Wang Bi.
As for him...
His son-in-law will take care of it.
Although he was in a separatist state in Annan, it was just that the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty had not ended. Once the civil strife ended, he would not have any chance.
And the He family.
But the He family is the second generation.
But the real decision-maker in the He family is He Di, He Zhen's younger brother, so he is qualified to be a brother to Emperor Daxing. In this case, he must die. As for He Zhen's son, He Rong, who inherited the earldom of Dongguan, does not need to
.
"Everyone who needs to leave has left. I wonder what the ambassador wants to do with us?"
Zhu Di said immediately.
"The king is joking. I am an outsider, how can I say the word "disposal"? However, the queen is about to give birth. If the queen really gives birth to a new king, the king and the vassal kings will naturally return to their respective fiefdoms. The king fiefs the Western Region. This is decided by the Daxing Emperor, but the successor
The new king will definitely not be able to manage the government because he is young. Therefore, the military affairs of the Western Regions must be entrusted to your uncle. How about adding a governor to the king? However, the officials of the Four Capital Divisions of the Western Regions still have to be granted by the court. They are under the control of the king. Outside the Four Capital Divisions,
Land kings can take it for themselves, and it is considered a king's fiefdom.
But I suggest that your Majesty don't worry about Timur for now.
We can first march westward from the Hanhai Dusi to the Kipchak Khanate, and as soon as the moon is gone, Guilichi and others have surrendered, just in the name of re-establishing the moon and others as the Khan of the Golden Horde."
Yang Feng said.
That's it.
Enough for Zhu Di to start his western expedition.
The areas directly under the imperial court were still Anxi, Beiting, Dawan and Kunling, with the fiefdom of King Yan sandwiched in between.
Therefore, no matter how much Zhu Di developed and how much territory he occupied in the West, his core was still the fiefdom of King Yan, which was still directly under the Ming Dynasty. What he built outside was his real private property. After several generations of reproduction, after his feelings for the Ming Dynasty weakened, he simply
His core area has been transferred.
Just like the four great khanates.
It became a vassal state with the same ancestor as the Ming Emperor and was subordinate to the Ming Emperor, but in fact it was independent.
However, it is not appropriate to start a war with Timur at the moment. The latter is still too strong, so Zhu Di should win over Guilichi and others, and then use the moon to find out that others belong to the Kipchak Khanate system and have once served as the Golden Horde Khan.
At one point, Yuejie was encouraged to seize the throne of the Golden Horde Khan. Zhu Di, Gui Lichi and other Mongolian generals supported Yuejie. In the end, they allied forces to attack the Golden Horde Khanate and conquered Mongolia under the Golden Horde system.
people and draw them into the Ming Dynasty's vassal system.
Then we can use the shell of the Golden Horde to control the Eastern European plains.
In this way, with the Ming Dynasty at its back, Kipchak in the west, the Rurik family in the north, Poland and Lithuania in the west, and Tamerlane in the south, the trade line could be extended to the Black Sea in one fell swoop, and trade with the Mediterranean coast could begin.
King Yan of the Ming Dynasty became the whip of the new generation of God.
Very exciting.
"Where are the kings?"
Zhu Di asked.
He also accepted this plan.
He cannot do without the support of the mainland. Whether it is military industry, trade, or immigration, all of these must rely on the mainland.
The Western Region is indeed vast, enough for him to conquer in a lifetime, but the problem is that he needs people, and he can't really rely on guards. Although his guards have increased to five, they only add up to 20,000 people. With this small number of people, he can
Completed a den-sweeping raid, but failed to conquer.
Even against someone of Timur's level, plowing the court and sweeping the hole can't be done.
Last time there was Yang Feng.
And when he went south alone, there were already 60,000 to 70,000 cavalry.
One hundred thousand!
He must have at least one hundred thousand troops.
Without the full support of the mainland, it would be impossible for him to realize his dream of sweeping the Western Regions.
"Kings, after this enters the capital, you, the Zhu family, sit down and talk among yourselves. The principles for your majesty's control have already been decided. Those who want to entrust the land will be entrusted to each of the several kings of Sai. Those who want to enter the capital to enjoy the blessings will be granted.
Salary. If you are ambitious and willing to explore, then you can move the vassal state like the king. There are still good places in the south. The Western Region is for the king. If there are other vassal kings in Nanyang who are willing to go, the court will also support it."
Yang Feng said.
It's a good thing they want to go there.
The South Asian subcontinent alone is enough to throw all the feudal kings over.
In fact, it is also a good thing for them.
Anyway, India has a caste system, so let’s say they are Kshatriyas. They first conquered by force, and then bribed the Brahmin nobles. Let’s say these vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are the top Kshatriyas. Currently, the sultans suppress Hindus there. The Ming Dynasty’s
If the vassal kings could defeat the sultans, then the Brahmins would definitely be happy to accept these new Kshatriyas.
Then each person has a small country.
From now on, with the Ming Dynasty as their back, they will be able to live a prosperous life just by relying on trade.
Similarly, all immigrants and merchants who came from the Ming Dynasty were Kshatriyas.
I have to say that India has the best solution.
As long as they are willing to integrate into the caste system, they can gain stable rule.
Zhu Di said nothing.
Exploring outward?
It is estimated that not many vassal kings would choose, and most likely they would choose to go to Beijing to be Prince Taiping. After all, most of the Sai kings actually hated their fiefdoms, which meant that the Liao king liked his fiefdoms.
It's hard to say that King Zhou had great ambitions, but his fiefdom was really poor. King Ning was eager to leave Daning as soon as possible, and King Su had no feelings for his fiefdom. After all, they were all in Jiuquan. In short, the final result should be that the vast majority of the vassal kings
Choose to go to Beijing, choose a small number of fiefdoms, and he is likely to be the only one to open up to the outside world, and it is possible to add Zhou Wang at most.
But after this incident, it is probably Yang Feng who has the final say in Ming Dynasty.
"Fourth brother!"
The little princess shouted.
Yang Feng and Zhu Di turned their heads and looked at the little princess who was riding a horse.
The latter arrived quickly, got off his horse, and walked directly to them...
"The former Suzhou Guards Town Fu Han Sheng led the Suzhou Guards to raise troops, together with the Shenji Battalion and guards who stayed in Suzhou, to kill Wu Shouan and take over Suzhou anyway."
she said.
"This old man is getting stronger with age."
Yang Feng said with some surprise.
His old friend was indeed getting older and stronger.
In fact, after Han Sheng was defeated in Suzhou, he went directly to the Jinshan Guard. The Jinshan Guard never obeyed King Wu to supervise the country. They had all seen what Yang Feng was capable of. Since the princess chose to support the queen, Yang Feng must support the queen. Everyone followed Yang.
The ambassador can never be wrong. Besides, as long as they don't take the initiative to attack Suzhou, Zhu Yunwen will not care about them.
"Ambassador, Xiao Wang has a gift for the ambassador."
Zhu Di said.
Yang Feng and the little princess looked at him doubtfully.
Zhu Di pointed not far away, where a man in shackles was being escorted over by Zhang Fu.
But even though he was shackled, it was obviously symbolic.
"This is the son of Yanshan Guard Baihu Liu Jiang. He lied about his father Liu Jiang and went south to serve as a messenger for Master Daoyan under the orders of Quanzi. Unexpectedly, he was bribed by Qi Tai and followed him to cause rebellion. Now because of knowing that Qi Tai
Tai colluded with Fang Xiaoru to kill the king, but he still had some conscience, so he fled back to Peiping to report the rebellion. This person knew all the inside story of the regicide case and was willing to confront Qi Tai and others face to face."
Zhu Di said.
At this time Liu Rong was escorted over.
He knelt down simply...
"Young Liu Rong has met Princess Hanshan and Ambassador Yang. I know a lot about the regicides of King Guangze, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others, and I am willing to confront them face to face."
He said respectfully.
"Don't talk nonsense. How could King Guangze murder his own brother?"
Yang Feng shouted.
"Ambassador Yingming, it was actually the Qi and Tai trio who did this without the knowledge of King Guangze. The young Shicai was comatose due to the heat and talked nonsense for a while."
Liu Rong said quickly and sensibly.
Of course he added Zhu Yunwen on purpose. If Yang Feng wanted to include him, then fine.
"Okay, you can risk your life thousands of miles to betray me, so you still have some loyalty."
Yang Feng said.
Of course, he also understood that this was Zhu Di helping him end the war. Liu Rong was sent to follow Fang Xiaoru and others to cause trouble, and he was ready to deal a fatal blow to Zhu Yunwen when necessary. If Zhu Yunwen won at this time
, after taking the capital, it was Zhu Di's turn to go south to Jingnan, and Jingnan had to have a basis for raising troops. First, Yao Guangxiao went north to rebel, knowing that the emperor had been murdered, and then Liu Rong went north to rebel, knowing that the masterminds were three of Zhu Yunwen's closest confidants.
Minister, then the righteousness is completely at hand, and it will be difficult for the Qing monarch to sideline the country.
This is all very cunning.
Everything is arranged.
It's just that Zhu Di doesn't need it now, so it's just a gift as a favor.
In the final analysis, Zhu Yunwen and his group of armchair strategists were really just being manipulated by Zhu Di's level. He didn't even know that he was being manipulated throughout the whole process.
