The road construction in the five northern provinces is nearing completion. Zhu Youjian will hand over the construction of the cement avenue to the Minister of Transportation Li Changgeng. He only asked Li Changgeng to survey the route of Beijing’s economy from the south to Nanjing and from Chengdu to Fengxiang, in due course. , Both routes are to build a concrete avenue.
Zhu Youjian’s main energy now is devoted to compulsory education in the five northern provinces. This is a brand-new subject in Daming. He must personally take charge of it. Moreover, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Taxation, last year’s fiscal revenue reached a record. 25 million taels in the country, an increase of 30% over the previous year.
With the increase in taxes, Zhu Youjian has the capital to implement compulsory education.
The increase in taxes is mainly due to the full collection of agricultural taxes and the introduction of industrial and commercial taxes in the five northern provinces, especially Shaanxi and Shandong, which have risen sharply in the country.
Take it from the people, and naturally use it for the people.
Since the increased taxes mainly come from the five northern provinces, the five northern provinces will have income. Although this kind of income, almost only Zhu Youjian can understand its true meaning.
Just after the Lantern Festival, Zhu Youjian made a private visit in a micro service. He went south along the directions of Baoding, Zhending, Shunde, Daming, and Guangping. He was going to inspect along the way, and stop by Henan to take a look at this concrete road. , How to cross the Yellow River and connect with the cement road in Henan Province.
As soon as Zhu Youjian arrived at the daimyo, Liu Lin, who had been following him, rushed to report: "Your Majesty, the capital is secretly protected, something major has happened in the southwest."
"Southwest? What big things can there be in the southwest? Is it that the natives of Sichuan have a tendency to riots, and the Mu Palace can't hold them down?" Daming was a critical period for internal development, and Zhu Youjian didn't want to be extravagant.
"Your Majesty, it is not Sichuan, it is Dogandus and Uszangdus. The riots broke out there. The scale was not large at first, and the local investigators did not report back in time. However, the riots intensified and almost involved the eastern and southern parts of Dogandus. And in the entire area of Ustizang, the riots have now morphed into the robbery and massacre of the local Han people."
"Niang Xipi, these Tibetans have turned the sky over," Zhu Youjian was furious, and he rarely scolded his mother, "Go, go back to Beijing immediately."
Returning to the capital, Zhu Youjian, based on Wang Meiyu’s analysis of the Mongolian ministries when he was in Lingbei Province, plus the information returned by the local investigations in Dogan and Uszang, combined with his later experience, finally got an idea of the origin of the riot. And influence, have a complete understanding.
After a rapid decline, the Wara Mongol, which lives in Moxi, has divided into several larger tribes, mainly the Junggar, Heshuote, and Turhute tribes.
Because the Junggar tribe living in the west of the Altai Mountains and east of the Yibohai (present-day Balkhash Lake) was too powerful, the Turhute tribe was forced to move west to the Volga River, and the Heshuote tribe that originally lived in the Yibohai area , Gradually moved south, and gathered in Dogandusi and Uszangdusi. They believed in Tibetan Buddhism and gradually merged with the local Tibetans.
The Heshuote tribe has a small population, and the entire tribe is less than 100,000, but they have influenced and tempted a scattered Tibetans. In addition, the Ming Dynasty has no troops stationed there, and the court has gradually abandoned this very inconvenient land, tacitly accepting it. The mongolian suzerainty over Dogan and Uszang.
But after Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, he has sent a large number of investigations to the two places. He has been looking for opportunities, and now, the opportunity has finally come.
From the history of later generations, Zhu Youjian knows a little bit that this riot finally evolved into a small-scale armed rebellion, which lasted until the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and the three fronts fought (the other two fronts were Jian slaves in Liaodong and the peasant rebels in Shaanxi. ), finally exhausted Daming's national power.
Although the scale of the armed rebellion in these two places is far less than that of Liaodong and Shaanxi, the rebellion later spread to Sichuan and Yunnan, which objectively provided Zhang Xianzhong with convenient conditions for entering Sichuan.
Zhu Youjian immediately convened a temporary small court meeting to discuss the riots between Dogan and Uszang. Only the commander of the Third House and the Tenth Department and Yuan Chonghuan, the commander of the First Army who were in Beijing, participated in the meeting.
"His Majesty Chenqi, the Northern Expedition has just ended. Daming needs to cultivate health and rest. There are not many Han Chinese in Dogan and Uszang. Besides, don't want to leave the great Central Plains. Who will let them run to the distant Uszang?" Education Minister Kong Zhen Yun took the lead in speaking. As the sixty-three generation grandson of the sage of Kong, he is now concerned about popularizing the education of the sage in the five northern provinces, and he is most afraid of the extraneous branches of Zhu Youjian, so that this activity of popularizing the words of the sage will abort abortion.
"Master Kong's words are very bad. There are few Han people. Isn't it a Han? They opened the frontiers and defended the land for the Ming Dynasty. They deserve the protection of the court. Moreover, Dogan and Uzizang were originally the land of the Ming Dynasty. How can they be allowed to run by foreign races?" As early as when he was in Shaanxi, Yuan Chonghuan followed Zhu Youjian. He knew Zhu Youjian's thoughts on ruling the army and the country. He knew that Zhu Youjian held a court meeting just like a foreigner, a young emperor. He will never be soft, even in places as far away as Beihai Province and Lingbei Province, he will give up this once mellow soil? Besides, if you don't fight, what do you want soldiers to do? The Minister of Education, the original Imperial Prison to sacrifice wine, was afraid that he had drunk too much last night and was still not awake.
"The transfer of troops from the capital of the capital is far greater than the loss caused by the rebellion. Yuan Chonghuan, you are simply a militant soldier. With such a child's play, Daming's national strength will definitely be consumed in the hands of you." Kong Zhenyun blew his beard and stared at Yuan Chonghuan, pointing to Yuan Chonghuan. The image of a master is ignored at all.
"Master Kong’s remarks seem to be false. The last Northern Expedition not only recovered a large amount of homeland, but also made a net profit of more than 1.6 million shi and silver twenty to thirty million taels. Did Master Kong forget that without these silver taels, North How can there be silver in the five provinces to popularize the words of the saint?" If there is someone in the court who knows Zhu Youjian best, then this person is Li Chunye. He knows that Zhu Youjian will send troops, but while he supports the sending of troops, he does not want to Offended the people of the Council of State, so it was an understatement.
"You..." Kong Zhenyun was speechless, thinking that the previous Northern Expedition was a waste of money and food. Only this time Zhu Youjian made a lot of money during the Northern Expedition. It was the implementation of compulsory education in the five northern provinces, and it was also in Zhu. This was achieved only by the resolute and vigorous conduct of the inspection. Which emperor used to think about promoting the words of the saint throughout the country
"Dogan and Uszang are both places of bitter cold and high terrain. It is really inconvenient for the Han people to live there. It is better to move the local Han people back. The imperial court also has an account for them. If there is no land, they can be released. Go outside the customs." Qiao Yunsheng, President of the Judicial Yuan, objectively expressed support for Kong Zhenyun.
"Sir Qiao, the officials would not agree," Cao Wenzhao retorted: "For example, my own children, clever and agile parents, of course like it, don't parents who lack arms and legs, or who are a little stupid, will abandon the street? Although Dogan and Uszang are bitterly cold, they are the territory of Ming Dynasty. How can they be ignored?"
"Your Majesty, the terrain of Dogan and Ustizang is too high. The Han army's expedition is so inconvenient. It is as powerful as the Tang, and it is difficult to conquer Tubo at that time. If the army is unsuccessful in the expedition, it will inevitably damage your majesty's prestige." Wang Yongguang already knew. Zhu Youjian was very strong. Last time he opposed reform, the officials quarreled for a day, his voice became hoarse, his stomach collapsed, and he still could not stop Zhu Youjian. This time he spoke more gently.
Huang Liji came out of the class and said: "Dogan and Wuszang are not fake. At the beginning of the founding of the country, there was the land of Ming Dynasty. Why is it not adapted to it now? Although Datang did not completely defeat Tubo at that time, Datang At least they have the courage to march. There are Han people in Dogan and Uszang, indicating that the Han people can also adapt to the local terrain. According to the minister, there is Da Ming's investigation in the local area. How can they easily adapt to the local terrain?"
"However, to quell the riots in the two places, it is not necessary to mobilize the army. The war is not a child's play. Once it is started, it is difficult to stop according to personal wishes." Kong Zhenyun, who has slowed down, still opposes, but he has not started. Shi’s vigor, “If you send a solicitor, you may be able to subdue soldiers without fighting.”
"Kong Aiqing, then I will send you as a solicitor and give you one month to solve the riots in the two places and return the Han people to the land." Zhu Youzhen is the most impatient of these pedantic saints. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is The source of many rivers in Daming, the source of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are also here. Without the source, can the Yangtze River and the Yellow River still be regarded as the mother rivers of the Han people
Confucian scholars read only the books of sages and sages, but did not understand the national conditions and the world. It was not their fault to miss the country, but Zhu Youjian, who had the experience of later generations, could not forgive himself if he followed the advice of the wrong country.
Zhu Youjian knew that although he was the emperor of Ming Dynasty, he had only established preliminary military power through war, but he did not have much prestige in the court. Once he was despised by the ministers, he would be stumbled in the future. Son, to persuade and remonstrance, proud of persuasion and death.
"Your Majesty..." Kong Zhenyun looked resentful, he really couldn't say anymore, so he had to stare at Zhu Youzhen blankly.
"Master Kong, the words of a sage can only teach people who understand the way of a sage, while those outsiders who don't know Chinese characters can't talk about the words of a sage. Naturally, you have to talk to them in a different way," Zhu You The prosecutor retracted his contempt for Kong Zhenyun's gaze, and sprinkled on the officials: "In my opinion, the issue of whether to send troops or not is unnecessary to discuss. Let's discuss how to use troops. This is a matter of the National Defense Agency, several members of the National Defense Agency. Take more propositions."
Li Chunye went out again: "My Majesty, the army of Yunnan and Guangdong has been reorganized, especially the army of Yunnan, which is also a plateau area. Soldiers may be more adaptable to the plateau climate of Dogan and Ustiz. If you use troops, you don’t need to mobilize the capital. The military pair."
"Li Aiqing, how are the troops in these two places going to be reorganized?" Zhu Youjian originally asked Li Chunye to reorganize the troops in Yunnan and Guangdong for the sake of Burma. The climate there is hot and humid, and the northerners may not be able to adapt. He did not expect to be in Dogan first. , Uszang used it.
"His Majesty, Yunnan has reorganized the 19th, 20th, and 21st armies. The commander of the 19th Army is Mu Qiyuan, the prince of Mu Mansion. Guangdong has reorganized the 17th and 20th Armies. 2. The 23rd and the third armies, all six armies have been allotted firearms."
