"I haven't died yet, and someone wants to overthrow the national policy I formulated!" The emperor said bluntly to his chief minister Wen Anzhi at the top of Guihua City, looking at the snow in the north. When the emperor said this, his face was calm and his tone was gentle,
But Wen Anzhi, who was familiar with the emperor, knew that the more the emperor behaved like this, the angrier he became, and this might be the beginning of another storm.
"Your Majesty, please calm down for now. It is normal for some such voices to appear now. However, I believe that these people will not be able to influence the court's unswerving execution of His Majesty's will. The country's expansion of frontiers, immigration and settlement are of great benefit in the contemporary era.
The great cause of Qianqiu cannot be stopped because of the opposition of some people."
"Sir, do you think I am too kind and soft-hearted?"
"I think your Majesty has done a good enough job."
"No, it's still too soft. I should understand that after nearly three hundred years of sixteen emperors, the Ming Dynasty has become rotten internally and externally. It's rotten to the core. Although I have expelled the Tartars, this country is only superficial.
Temporary recovery, if the root cause cannot be cured, sooner or later there will be chaos." Before, Zhu Yihai felt that everything was on the right track.
Improvement has never been successful. Repairs and patchwork cannot solve problems at all. Revolution must be carried out to break and then build.
Nowadays, there are many chaotic voices in various places, especially since Chen Zilong Zuo Guangxian was deposed and his family was exiled to Dunhuang. Not only have these voices not subsided, but they have become more and more intense.
"Have you heard about what happened in the Henan Provincial Examination?" the emperor asked.
"Both ministers and the cabinet have read the memorial of Chen Qianfu, Governor of Huanghuai and Governor of Henan. It is indeed shocking."
"I request that a cabinet minister be sent to Henan to handle this matter."
"No need, I have already sent an order to Chen Qianfu to report the matter in Henan to the prince who is staying in the country to supervise the country. He will discuss the matter with the prince." Wen An's accident, what happened in Henan recently is not a small thing, it is also very serious and even bad.
, if it cannot be handled in time or even handled well, big trouble will occur. However, the emperor asked Chen Qianfu to deal with the prince. Isn't this a hot potato for the prince?
"Your Majesty, the prince is young and inexperienced, and Chen Qianfu's actions are somewhat radical. If he is not handled properly, it will damage the prince's prestige."
"The prince is young, and he is in a good position to take risks. It doesn't matter if he makes a mistake. I can still check it for him."
"Did His Majesty give Chen Qianfu a decree so that he could have a solution?"
"No need, one is the left-behind supervisor, and the other is the governor of Huanghuai and the governor of Henan. It is enough for them to handle this matter. How to deal with it depends on their structure." The emperor was very angry about what was happening in Henan.
But he suppressed his anger and did not deal with it immediately. Instead, he handed it over to the prince and Chen Qianfu, and the remaining cabinet members Du Yinxi, Zhang Mingzhen and others assisted. This was not only a test of the prince, but also could it be that the emperor was fishing?
There have been more and more noises in the past two years, but now the only people the emperor has really dealt with seriously are Chen Zilong and Zuo Guangxian. Although in the Taiwan Yuan under the leadership of Hong Chengchou, Qian Qianyi, Niu Jinxing, etc., in recent years, they have been impeached, investigated, and dismissed from office.
He killed tens of thousands of officials, big and small, and was demoted, fined, demerited, and more.
However, with the restoration of the pass, the officials in each province were gradually replenished, and the gentry also stabilized. There was no longer the constant threat of the Tartars, the harassment of bandits, and even the bandits and bandits in various provinces and counties.
, and almost all of them are now surrounded and suppressed.
The territory within the pass, especially the hinterland, was basically stable. So some people shouted that horses should be put into storage at Nanshan, and some people shouted that they could conquer the world immediately but not rule the world immediately.
The emperor moved the gentry and powerful people to Beijing, Tianjin, and the north, and many gentry and powerful people began to jump out.
Things are getting more and more lively.
"Henan ignores him for now and lets the prince handle it. I will also see the prince's ability. As for Suiyuan, I think we still have to find a way to relocate the population. Mongolia has occupied Hetao for nearly two hundred years. From the search for Tao during the Jingtai period, to
The wall was built during the Chenghua period. After that, Mongolia experienced the resurgence of Dayan Khan and the rise of Ada Khan and naturalized it. Until the tribute and peace talks were made during the Longqing period, the boundary line of the border wall built by Chenghua was basically maintained, starting from Qingshuiying in the east and reaching Huahua in the west.
Ma Chi, the border wall stretching for 1,770 miles, was once broken, but after the peace talks, it was basically the boundary. Although the Mongolian left wing was also weak, after all, it had been stationed here for many years and was deeply rooted. If it wanted to truly
To take back the control area of the Hetao area, we must ensure that we Han people have an absolute advantage in the number of people in the Hetao area. Ignore them in the New Qinzhong Grassland for now. The south is still bounded by the Great Wall. We first take back the Qiantao Plain and hurry up the immigration here.
Reclamation, and garrisoning troops at some key locations in Houtao, such as Jiuyuan, and Dengkou and Shizuishan between Houtao and Xitao Ningxia. These two places must also negotiate with Ordos Khan to build cities and garrison troops.
As a place for border trade and mutual trade, it is necessary to restore shipping on the Hetao Yellow River from Ningxia to the naturalized Tuoketuo. This river of more than a thousand miles has been an important water transport route during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It must be restored as soon as possible. After restoration,
The connection between the east and west Taoists will be strengthened, and the imperial court's control over the Hetao will be further strengthened. Military forts and wharves will be built along the route, troops will be stationed to store grain, shipyards will be built, a transport fleet will be built, and a patrol team will be set up.
River Master." The emperor valued the Hetao very highly. The Ming Dynasty suffered from the Hetao problem for nearly two hundred years and was never able to recapture the Hetao, which made the northwest unsafe. In the end, the court focused on one thing but not the other, allowing the Northeastern Jurchens to take advantage of the opportunity to rise.
This section of the waterway can be navigable from the beginning of spring until it freezes in October. The river surface is wide and the water flow is relatively gentle, which is very important.
"From Ningxia Prefecture to Guihua Prefecture, this large section of land controlled by Ordos Khan was in the name of building post stations, border markets, etc. The imperial court must try its best to reach an agreement with them and build Shizuishan, Dengkou, Jiuyuan, etc.
city,"
"On the Qiantao side, Baotou was originally the Zhongshou surrender city of the Tang Dynasty, Clark was originally the Eastern surrender city of the Tang Dynasty, and the Zhenwu military base. Opposite to the south across the river is Shengzhou, to the west of Baotou is the Urad Banner to the north, and to the east is Wuliangsuhai
During the Tang Dynasty, Tuoketuo was renamed Zhenwu County, Baotou was renamed Yanran County, and Tiande County was established at the mouth of the Ujia River and the Yellow River where the Uliangsu Sea leads to the Yellow River." Tiande County is located with Uliangsu Sea to the north, and floods occur during the rainy season.
It will overflow into a large lake, with mountains to the east, the Yellow River to the south, and the Ujia River connecting the river and the sea. It is very important to build a city here."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Shizuishan, Dengkou, Jiuyuan, and Tiande are four counties that are intertwined with Mongolia. I require that at least one thousand households in each county be resettled by the end of next year.
, at least 3,000 households will be immigrated in three years. And the ten cities of Yanran, Zhenwu and Shengzhou, as well as Guihua, Suiyuan, Qingshui, Dingxiang, Fengzhen, Jining and Wuchuan will also have each city by the end of next year.
At least 2,000 households, and in three years at least 5,000 households." Without people, everything is empty talk.
Qiantao is adjacent to the Daqing Mountains to the north, Datong to the east, and the Yellow River to the south. This area is a strategic treasure and is connected to the Datong Basin, which is the strategic support point for controlling Suiyuan and Ordos.
It is also the key to controlling the Yinshan Corridor. There is such fertile land here, suitable for farming, so why not vigorously develop it?
In terms of fertile land, the land here is much more fertile than the Datong Basin outside Yanmen Pass. Wen Anzhi feels that the pressure is not small. The fourteen cities will have 24,000 households by the end of next year, and now the former one, Feng Town, has been naturalized.
Qingshui and other places close to the west entrance have successively moved in many immigrants, and the total number of households is not even a fraction of the 4,000 households.
"In these border areas, immigrants will be different from those in the mainland. When they come, they will directly divide the land and grant it for free. However, it is stipulated that there is no right to sell or transfer within three generations, and they are not allowed to abandon the land and move inland. After arriving, the court will also return
We need to give them money to settle down, give them loans to benefit the people, loan them cattle and horses, and seeds and agricultural tools. Building the Great Wall is a dead end, but if the immigrants from the mainland can gain a foothold here and live and work in peace and contentment, then that is
The Great Wall is truly unbreakable.”
"The Tang Dynasty did not build the Great Wall. There were Sanshoujiang City in the Hetao, Hengsai Army, Tiande Army, Zhenwu Army, Yanran Protectorate, Shanyu Protectorate and Anbei Protectorate. The Tang Dynasty did not lose the Hetao.
On the contrary, I built the border wall in the Ming Dynasty. The border wall was built from Huamachi to Qingshui River, from Ningxia to Pianguan, Hengshan, Jingbian, Dingbian, Yanchi, Lingwu, and many places in Ningxia were blocked by the wall to the north.
They gave up voluntarily. And the Great Wall, which was retreated thousands of miles from Hetao, did not allow the Ming Dynasty to really solve the border troubles. Although the court has now appeased Ordos, it cannot just relax its vigilance. It must look to the long-term future and must be proactive." Zhu Yihai said.
Taking out the map, he pointed to the two big rivers in Qiantao, the Red River and the Dahei River, especially the banks of the Dahei River, which was the most fertile Qiantao plain, the Chile River.
"First come and occupy good land. First build Tunpu villages along the banks of the Dahei River to resettle immigrants, then the banks of the Red River, then the Qingshui River, and then the banks of the Yellow River. Garrison defense camps, provincial patrol camps, town camps, regiment training camps, and post offices
Soldiers and officials are given priority in land granting. One small land is granted fifteen acres, and one household can be granted one hundred acres, and one mu of garden and homeland is given. In addition, the government office leases the land for the public land, and the officials lease the land for the post, post station, and water camp.
The shipping fleet, ship repair yards, wharves, schools, river engineering and other yamen have public leased fields, which are managed by the government and rented out on their behalf. The rent is used to subsidize the yamen, officials, soldiers, and teachers. The court will set up a special fund for the Hetao.
If the imperial court can establish a foothold in Hetao, the hidden dangers in the northwest will be gone, and the northwest will even become rich." This is the granary of Saishang, and the grain and grass will be stored in the castle of Saishang, whether it is to scare the tribes of Saishang,
Or if we use troops in Shaanxi and Gansu in the future, we can also transport them to Ningxia via the Yellow River to supply food and grass to the Shaanxi and Gansu armies.
"Twenty-four thousand households are immigrated a year, and 70,000 to 80,000 households will be immigrated in three years. I'm afraid it won't be easy." Wen Anzhi hesitated and asked,
"The rebellion in Shaanxi and Gansu was put down. Hong and Wu killed more than 500,000 Nihui and captured another 2,000,000. Should some of them be relocated first?"
"No." The emperor refused without hesitation.
"Although not all of those Hui Hui participated in the rebellion, we cannot let down our guard now. Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and others have dirty hands, and the imperial court will take this opportunity to break them up and move them to Taiwan, Hainan, Guangxi or even Liaodong, but they cannot stay here.
Northwest, otherwise he will hook up with the Huihui in the west again." Zhu Yihai did not think that the Huihui were all bad people, but the Islam they now believed in made them a threat to the court, so after they were broken up, they reorganized their relocation and resettlement, banned
If you teach them to change their habits, change their customs, and even return to the Han to intermarry, forbid same-ethnic marriages, and let them learn Chinese and worship their ancestors and respect Confucius and Mencius, they will be able to assimilate sooner or later and they will still be one family.
"After the Huihui chaos in Shaanxi and Gansu, the population also dropped sharply, with more than two million Huihuis missing, and two to three hundred thousand Han people died. For the time being, it is not possible to move people from Shaanxi and Gansu into Hetao. People from Shandong and Jiangxi are moving.
There are still a lot of landless poor people. If we want to mobilize them to relocate, we can even move entire villages and entire families out of mountain villages with poor land. Wouldn't it be better to live here with more fields than in the mountains?" As long as the court is willing to give it a real grant.
Of course, poor people are willing to move due to policy benefits, just like those people who fled to the Yunyang Mountains to the Southern Gan Mountains during the Chenghua Period. If they can no longer survive, they are willing to go to the barren mountains to burn wasteland and cultivate land and become savages. After all, they can survive.
In the past, the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited this kind of migration, and even did not allow people to move around at will. The main reason was to tie the people to the land and facilitate management.
In the middle and late period, the gentry and landlords were even more in power. They had the right to speak from the court to the local level. They used the gentry's privileges to openly avoid and resist taxes. They controlled the land and industry and commerce. Naturally, they wanted the common people to become them.
The tenants were even serfs. With their privileges, ordinary yeoman farmers were forced to surrender their fields to their names and become slaves.
If people all go to the mountains to cultivate wasteland, or even go overseas, how can they maintain the exploitation model? Therefore, the Ming Dynasty banned the sea and strictly controlled the people's personal freedom. This is an institutional problem.
It is an inevitable behavior of vested interest groups in order to maintain their interests and solidify their class. They do not want farmers to obtain fields and become serfs to sing.
They just want to stay in the upper class forever and enjoy privileges forever. With their status as gentry, others take the initiative to dedicate their fields to their names, pay rent to them, and even transfer their household registration to their names and become slaves.
Let them drive.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There were large-scale immigrants in the Ming Dynasty, Taizu and Chengzu, just after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Later, such immigrants were never seen again.
Why did the Chinese dynasty, both Han dynasties, actively expand their frontiers during the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties, but the frontiers became smaller and smaller during the Ming Dynasty?
It’s not that the Mongols are more powerful or that the Jurchens are more powerful, it’s all because after the Tumubao Incident, the Ming Dynasty crippled itself and the meritorious group completely collapsed. As a result, the civil servant group was dominated by one family, and the emperor could only rely on eunuchs and the like.
They tried hard to maintain imperial power, but they could no longer steer the Ming Dynasty ship.
Among the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, eleven emperors did not live beyond the age of forty. Zhu Yuanzhang lived over seventy, Zhu Di lived over sixty, and Jiajing and Wanli over fifty.
Three emperors did not live to be thirty years old, and eight emperors were over thirty but under forty. It all shows that the emperors were lazy and lazy in their administration. In fact, there were many problems. Emperor Hui Yunwen was usurped by his uncle, and Renzong Gao
Chi was no better than his cousin Yunwen. He was in prison for twenty years, but within a year of taking the throne, he indulged in drunkenness and died of illness.
The good sage Sun Ming Xuanzong reigned for ten years and was known as the Cricket Emperor. He was a figure like Huizong of the Song Dynasty. He died in his thirties. His son Yingzong was not Ying.
After the Tumubao Incident, he became the Emperor of the Gate. He stayed in the grasslands for many years as a companion, and was imprisoned for many years when he came back. Later, although there was a coup to seize the Gate, and the throne was taken back from his younger brother, in the end, the Ming Dynasty still took it from him.
Broken.
Without the balance of the Wuxun Group, the Ming Dynasty went further and further away. At least the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty could still go to war in person, but after him, even if the Zhengde Emperor personally led the troops into battle, none of the civil servants would support him. They even dared to write that the emperor defeated the Mongol Zhongxing Empire.
In the great battle of Khan Yanda Khan, only a few heads were beheaded, and he was blatantly a black emperor.
Moreover, he fell into the water and died of illness at the age of thirty. It is hard to believe that the emperor died of illness immediately after falling into the water. From Renxuan to Ying Dynasty, four emperors died of illness.
Chenghua died of illness, Hongzhi died of illness, both were short-lived. Zhengde fell into the water and died of illness, Jiajing died of illness after taking elixirs, Longqing died of illness after taking Chunyue, Wanli died of excessive drinking and sex, Taichang died of illness after taking red pills, and Tianqi died of illness after taking fairy medicine. All of them were 23
He died at the age of ten.
This inevitably makes people feel suspicious. This is like the Tang Dynasty emperors in the late Tang Dynasty who were controlled by the eunuchs who controlled the imperial army and the court. They died early one by one. Even Xianzong of Yuan and Zhongxing were killed by eunuchs.
, Xiao Taizong, Tang Xuanzong, who initiated the Dazhong rule, died after taking the elixir of longevity.
Zhu Yihai did not believe that all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were short-lived and died of indulging in disorder and eating.
The accomplished emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was extremely diligent, lived for more than 70 years, Zhu Di who went on the five Northern Expeditions also lived for more than 60 years, and the slightly capable Jiajing and Wanli also lived for more than 50 years.
Anyway, after Zhu Di, especially after Yingzong, the mainstream of the Ming Dynasty was already the gentry and landlord class. They completely trampled the military attachés under their feet. No one could even think about opening up the territory, even recovering the Hetao, the Seven Guards of Guanxi, and Liaodong.
Can't even mention it.
Not to mention the recapture of Annan and Cochin. Unless someone hits you on the head, you have no choice but to accept the fight. If you can, you will not hit those who are determined not to.
To put it bluntly, it is because the gentry and landlord class are in charge. They do not want to expand the territory and oppose immigrants to defend the border. These people regard themselves as local feudal lords and regard the local people as theirs.
The serfs who took over the people were never willing to let them go.
What does it have to do with the imperial court's expansion of territory? The most unenterprising dynasty, the least enterprising emperor, and the least enterprising elite in China can be said to be the emperors of the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Di and the gentry, bureaucrats and landlords.
It was they who gave up Annan, Guanxi, Hetao, Nuergandusi, and they gave up Myanmar and Usizang, etc.
There is no reconciliation, no cession of land, no compensation, the emperor defends the country and the gentleman dies for the country. It is all nonsense. These people claim to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic on the surface, but in fact, they are all about their mother's interests, business, calculations, and gentry.
No, it's all about occupying fields, expropriating tenants, spreading names, and resisting and evading taxes.
The Ming Dynasty, controlled by a group of selfish and corrupt scholars, would have nothing but party strife and internal strife. The Ming Dynasty would be ruined in their hands. With this group of people, there would be other people without Nurhaci. Without Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there would also be Zhang San, Li, Si Wang and Er Mazi.
Those people are just effects, not causes.
Because the gentry class in Ming Dynasty was rotten.
"If the current incident in Henan continues, maybe one hundred thousand households will be relocated to fill the Hetao!" the emperor said with murderous intent.
