I am the king of the dead

"I thought we would send an elite group to Qingyuan and Zaotu Mountain, blow up their dams, and then march." Shi Biao clicked two positions on the very accurate map.

Zhao Fu nodded and said: "I have already heard about the camp of the Zhongzhang, and the vanguards of the Eastern and Western Route Army have also stopped. After the dam, march again."

The vanguard general’s opinion was quickly conveyed to the Chinese army tent, and then two teams of 500 people disappeared in the snow. Ten days later, the dam built by Li Manzhu exploded. After that, the pioneers of the three routes adjusted slightly and began to cross the river.

In the first confrontation, the Ming army won cautiously.

After Li Manzhu received the news, the cold wind in December couldn't stop his cold sweat. When did the Ming army, who was always invincible and arrogant, be so cautious?Their Jianzhou Jurchens, how could they have the strength to make Da Ming so cautious!

What made Li Manzhu even more frightening was that the Ming Army's three-way army had a clear mission deployment, focusing on attack, security, and suppression.

The West Route Army of the Ming Dynasty crossed the Hun River and stationed in Jiefanzhai, and was responsible for holding the formation. Once the main attacking army had an accident, the West Route Army holding the formation would immediately go into battle, while the Middle Route Army of the Ming Dynasty crossed the river to Sarhu and was responsible for the main attack. The army went out of the Crowful Pass and was responsible for security to prevent reinforcements that should not appear on the main battlefield.

At this point, Li Manzhu clearly understood Daming's tactics and worked every step of the way. After realizing it, Li Manzhu was in despair.

He understood that Daming was going to crush him to death.

Step by step, it is really walking step by step, put down the rebellion step by step, and will not let any rebels go in the land they have passed, and then continue to move forward.

The Emperor of Ming gave two years to suppress the rebellion, which was the time limit for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Planning and Planning to provide the greatest guarantee without affecting the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

If there is no result in two years, then ten years of rounds will be fought to create a no-man's land, and the whole of Fushun will be turned into a piece of red land by one soldier, and the Tatars, Wuliangha, Wala, Jianzhou women's straight, The die-hard elements of Haixi female straight and savage female straight, stubborn forces.

This involves Tatar and Wuliangha kingization, and involves the grand strategy of the Ming Dynasty's simultaneous development of sea and land, and there is no room for loss.

The staff officers of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion could not have imagined that this battle would take two years, and the most conservative generals also gave the most conservative time of six months. Scored into Jianzhouwei.

So, no one is urging the front.

For most of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, it was nothing but the howling of a group of barbarians at the end of their way.

Li Manzhu concentrated his main force of 1.5 people in Jiefan Mountain. When the Daming Middle Route Army approached Jianzhou Right Guard, he finally couldn't bear the sense of terror of step by step. Step by step is the ultimate pressure. It is a game for the brave. , Whoever is brave first will die without a burial place.

When Li Manzhu thought the time had come, he launched a surprise attack on Shi Biao's vanguard.

Shi Biao strictly abided by Shi Heng's military orders, he heard everyone, and he did not make any aggressive moves, nor did he show any slack or madness because he destroyed the enemy's plot, because he knew that if he lost, Shi Heng would really be defeated. He will kill his relatives righteously, and cut off his nephew to correct the military law.

His Majesty said there was no rush, but he still rushed forward, which was against His Majesty's will.

Therefore, when Li Manzhu led the main force to attack Shi Biao's vanguard army, Shi Biao's artillery array and firecracker array had just roared for less than a quarter of an hour, and Zhao Fu led another team of vanguards to rush to help.

Li Manzhu's strategy failed. He defended with a small amount of troops and focused on attacking all the way. When the main attack failed all the way, all three routes were broken. Li Manzhu's main force was surrounded by Daming artillery and firecrackers.

Before the right guard of Jianzhou was captured, the main force of Jianzhou was surrounded by the Ming army, and was completely wiped out by artillery fire.

"That's all." Shi Heng put down the binoculars and sneered.

When the Chinese army arrived, the West Route Army in charge of security had not yet entered the battlefield, and the elite of Jianzhou had been beaten to the point of fright. Li Manzhu's head was cut off by Jiannu and dedicated to the Ming army.

In the second round, Da Ming wins again, quiet, unmoving like a mountain, moving, aggressing like fire.

After that, the Ming Dynasty was in full swing and captured the three guards of Jianzhou within ten days, and then began to attack all the way to the north, chasing and killing Dong Shan who had fled. The taste of Dong Shan wiped out the remnants of Dong Shan and sent Dong Shan's head to the capital.

Naharan, on the other hand, surrendered.

Naharan's grandfather is Mengge Timur, who was the commander of the capital conferred by the Ming Dynasty. Naharan took the imperial edict from Emperor Taizong Wen and shouted that he was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and was honored by Li Manzhu. The coercion had to turn against the Ming Dynasty. As soon as the Ming Wangshi arrived, he led the crowd to surrender.

Shi Heng and Yu Qian found out that Naharang was the sixth son of Jianzhou Sanweili.

When Dong Shan and Li Manzhu took advantage of Daming's weakness to plunder Daming, Nahalang was busy farming and never disturbed the side, but Daming was weak, and Nahalang was indeed "forced" to surrender to the enemy. Now the king of Daming is coming Naharan immediately defected, and this can't be blamed for Naharan's lack of loyalty. Li Manzhu's main force collapsed too quickly. One battle was encircled, and he was finally killed by his subordinates.

Li Manzhu's strategy is naturally excellent and the only way, but what he encountered was Daming in its heyday.

Naharang himself had no will to resist. When he saw that Li Manzhu was dead, he turned over his criminal record to zero and bowed down.

Daming Pier Yuanhou couldn't even find Naharan's remarks that offended Daming.

The rebellion is the only one in this regard.

In the end, Naharang was appointed as a Tartar official, sent to Tianjin Wei, and given the surname Li, and the third generation descended, and he barely survived.

The smoothness of the battle in Liaodong far exceeded everyone's imagination.

Zhu Qiyu hung the heads of Dong Shan and Li Manzhu on the Desheng Gate for ten days and fed the wild dogs.

On the premise of achieving military victory, Ming Dynasty began to transform the entire Liaodong into prefectures and counties, which were divided into three provinces, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning. The one in the middle is Jilin, which is a Chinese name. During the Yongle period, Jilin Shipyard was once established in Jilin.

The land of the three provinces has also been discussed for a long time. Previously, Hanlin believed that the nine provinces of Liaodong were divided into nine provinces based on tribes and water systems, which were divided into Liaoning, Andong, Liaobei, Jilin, Songjiang, Hejiang, Heilongjiang, Nenjiang, and Xing'an.

Finally, after discussion, it was divided into three provinces for easy management.

The scope of Heilongjiang includes the entire Outer Xianbei Mountains (Outer Daxing’an Mountains) and Gebut Island. The earliest residents of Gebut Island were Mojie people in the Tang Dynasty, so this archipelago is also called Mojie Island, and its area is the Zhoushan Islands. Twice, but because the freezing period is too long, it is difficult for the navy to garrison troops.

As for the nomenclature, the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty took out the geographical records of the Tang Dynasty and copied them directly, and completed the name change of the three provinces in eastern Liaodong.

Daming has no shortage of literati who are officials, nor is there a shortage of common people who want to farm. The Northeast is to accommodate the growing population of Daming.

"This Wanquan and Zhao Shouyi are sent to Jiejie Courtyard. I should have punished them all back then!" Zhu Qiyu got angry when he saw the name Wanquan, and the first instruction he gave was to send this guy to Jieya In the courtyard, Wanquan's father, Shandong Buzheng Wanguan, was captured by Li Binyan, and Wanquan was captured by the West Route Army where Li Binyan was.

Zhu Qiyu issued another imperial decree, saying: "Leave your braids but not your head, and keep your head but not your braids. After three months, if anyone with a braid is found, it doesn't matter if he is killed. The family property of the person with the braid will belong to the slave who killed him." It is owned by the Han people, and some people in the Hanlin Academy complained about it, so they sent people to the three provinces to be officials, but I want to see what they have to do."

The king of subjugation issued another imperial decree that will be seen as extremely severe by later generations, and this imperial decree is to completely cut off the common understanding of Jurchen culture and lay a solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty to comprehensively transform the three provinces of Liaodong into prefectures and counties.

Xing'an didn't know why His Majesty issued such a cruel order, but he still sent the imperial decree to Wenyuan Pavilion. The scholars in Wenyuan Pavilion were shocked and began to bargain with the emperor. Eliminating Jurchen's common cognition is naturally a part of Wanghua, Yifu Shifting the wind is the core content of Wang Hua, but these three months are really too little.

A decree should be a practical decree. After the emperor's decree is sent to the three provinces that have just been established, it will take at least a year for it to be implemented. Therefore, the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion argued hard, and finally issued the decree to shave their braids. , changed to a one-year period.

One year is really not short, if he still refuses to shave his braids, then he can't blame Daming for being ruthless.

Daming was destroying the common cognition of Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, and Savage Jurchen, and then relocating, injecting the common cognition of Ming in the three provinces of Liaodong. , The emigration during the Jingtai period was a helpless move by the court.

Daming had no place to support so many people. It either led beasts to eat people, exploited the inside to the extreme, and kept the people within the range that the land could bear, or expanded and colonized the outside world.

After the Tianming Festival, the Ministry of War also played the battle record of this battle. Yang Jun inherited his father's title as Ying Guogong, Fan Guang was named Ningyang Hou, Zhao Fu was named Wu Jingbo, and In this battle, Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhong, and Yu Qian, the Duke of Jin, did not have any more rewards except for the miraculous merit cards and the rewards of wealth and silk.

It's not that there is nothing to seal, Shi Heng and Yu Qian said that this battle was fought too fast, and the enemy was too weak. This slave is a bit weird, and he didn't get much experience at all.

For Shi Heng and Yu Qian, they don't need to go any further. Such things as kings with different surnames have been proven in the Han Dynasty, and only the dead can hold them securely.

What surprised Zhu Qiyu the most was that Shang Ren took the initiative to ask for orders, and stayed on as the governor of Liaodong, presiding over the transformation of counties and counties in the three provinces of Liaodong.

Shang Ren and Li Binyan are rivals. Shang Ren clearly knows where his disadvantages are. He lacks experience in performing duties in the local area. In this regard, he cannot be compared with Li Binyan. The disadvantage is too great.

Therefore, taking advantage of the affairs in the northeast of counties and counties, Shang Ren wants to make up for the shortcomings in this area, and this is where he will take up his duties.

In February 14 in Jingtai, the army began to prepare for the return of the troops, and the relocation of the Ming Dynasty will be completed within two years. The first batch is 50, the second batch is 80, and the third batch is 100 million. , So far, Ming's population pressure has been greatly relieved.

The Northeast is suitable for farming because there is black soil here.

In February of the 14th year of Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting in the Fengtian Palace, was not in the court meeting, but in the invigilation examination. This was the palace examination in the 14th year of Jingtai. He held in his hand the memorial of the new governor of Songjiang Chen Zongqing. This memorial gave a detailed report Ming's activities in the Western and Atlantic Oceans.

To Zhu Qiyu's surprise, there is actually an imperial dynasty in West Africa that lasted for more than 1100 years, the Songhai Empire.

Chapter 967 It's all over, let's look at the present

The Songhai Empire is an imperial dynasty with a clear continuation of more than 1100 years. It was founded in the Western Jin Dynasty, the Kingdom of Ghana, the Kingdom of Mali, and the Songhai Empire. Lin has clearly sorted out the other party's lineage, territory, culture, race, religion, economy, military, etc.

In Zhu Qiyu's impression, there has always been backwardness, poverty, and suffering for the people there. Even before receiving this memorial, Zhu Qiyu always thought that civilization had never been bred there, but in fact, civilization was bred there, even compared to Ming Dynasty. As far as the country is concerned, it is still backward, but civilization is civilization, at least on the same level as Indian civilization.

Why did Zhu Qiyu have such a stereotype? Because they, like the Indian civilization, disappeared in the long river of history. The Songhai Empire is too close to Taixi.

Zhu Qiyu has no impression of this strange name. He can predict the end of the Songhai Empire. With the advent of the age of great exploration, their gold and huge population have become nutrients for Taixi to flourish. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, there is no longer any vitality to speak of.

Will the Great Emperor save this lost civilization?

will not.

First, the Songhai Empire has been brutally murdered, and the Portuguese and Spaniards have begun to colonize the local area; second, the Ming people went to sea to rob, the same purpose as the Taixi people, silver, gold, labor, land, minerals, etc. They were all the targets of robbery by the Ming people.

The Songhai Empire is nourishment, it nourishes Taixi, and it can also nourish Daming.

The main body of Kaihai is the power and right led by the Ming court, and Zhu Qiyu is leading the beast to eat people.

Daming Kaihai is not much gentler than the Taixi people, at most it can leave them a few words in the history books, recording traces of their existence.

From the Memorial of Songjiang Governor Chen Zongqing, it also talked about the extensive black soil in the Juanma River Basin.

If it is said that the black land of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong cannot accommodate more people due to the combined influence of the dimension and the Little Ice Age, then the black land in the Juanma River Basin can accommodate more than 2000 million people regardless of climate or suitable environment ,even more.

Zhu Qiyu discovered that the land might be the biggest pursuit of the Ming dynasty. When it comes to land, even the gold of the Songhai Empire is not considered, and they are all grabbing land.

Chen Zongqing also mentioned sugarcane plantations in the memorandum, which can be called the pillar industry of a place that the Governor of Songjiang specifically mentioned. What Chen Zongqing meant was whether the Ming court also set up some manors overseas, even if The imperial court does not do it by itself, but also allows the overseas governor's office to have a certain scale of production materials to maintain Ming's rule overseas.

The industry of selling sugar is really lucrative and exciting.

Those who sell laughter can't sell medicine, those who sell medicine can't sell three treasures, and those who sell three treasures can't sell sugar.

Selling sugar is more profitable than selling Fulu Sambo, and it is reasonable, legal and compliant. It is a big industry with countless people. In Chen Zongqing's view, sugar, like salt and iron, can be used as a kind of franchise to ensure the sugar industry of Ming Dynasty Smooth development.

The Scholars of Wenyuange highly agree with the Freetown and Cape Verde in Chen Zongqing's memorial, namely Freetown and Cape Verde, and Kuai Lin, the first governor of Freetown.

The existence of Liberty City safeguards the land interests of Daming on the banks of the Juanma River (Congo River), and also agrees with Chen Zongqing's statement that the navy patrols regularly for three years.

However, for the proposal of the imperial court to build plantations overseas, the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion neither agreed nor opposed. They were not interested. Daming was still the same Daming. The smell is disliked by the old party.

Zhu Qiyu does not intend to build overseas plantations. The reason why the Overseas Governor’s Mansion is the Governor’s Mansion is that it needs to have certain means of production to maintain the rule of the Governor’s Mansion overseas. Whether it is sugar, cotton, or spices, these overseas Governor’s Mansions can do it. up.

Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial and looked at Yu Zijun, the examiner this time.

Yu Zijun was born in the fourth year of Xuande. In the second year of Jingtai, Xin Weike was a Jinshi. He was a military household in Qingshen County, Meizhou, Sichuan. Wai Lang, a member of the department, returned to Beijing for ten years after serving in the local area. This time he returned to Beijing as one of the examiners, and then he will go to Xi'an to serve as the magistrate.

Yu Zijun, a courtier, was in the emperor's pocket. He was clean and honest. He served in Fujian and Jiangxi with outstanding talents.

The reason why Zhu Qiyu looked at him was that when the Tiqis were investigating him, they discovered some strange things.

It was another year of imperial examinations, and this time no one presented books, and no one loudly questioned the emperor in Fengtian Hall why he wanted to be a king of subjugation!

Zhu Qiyu had been expecting something silly to happen, but nothing happened.

Zhu Qiyu said a few words to Xing'an, got on the Dajia Yuren and went towards the lecture hall. Today is the day of the palace examination, and there are not many memorials before Zhu Qiyu's case.

Not long after, Yu Zijun came to the Juxian Pavilion of the Lecture Hall to meet him. This was the first time Yu Zijun had an audience in the Juxian Pavilion. He didn't know what His Majesty wanted him for, but when he walked into the Lecture Hall, his legs were a little weak , Walking here means that he is stepping into the core of Daming's power step by step.

It is the ambition of every scholar to cultivate one's morality, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!" Yu Zijun bowed three times and five times with an excited heart, not to let himself be rude and ruin his future.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Excuse me, sit down. Yu Qing is working in Fujian and Jiangxi. I am quite pleased. I have learned about virtue and talent. Yao Long, the Zuo Buzheng of Jiangxi, spoke highly of Yu Qing. The officialdom is in turmoil, and Yao Long recommended Yu Qing to go to Xi'an as the prefect, and I expect a lot from you."

"I was shocked when I heard about Wei Jingyang, Yu Qing must not let me down."

"The minister must be so heartbroken to repay the grace!" Only then did Yu Zijun know that it was his immediate superior Yao Long who recommended him.

Yao Kui, cousin of Yao Long, Zuo Buzheng of Jiangxi Province, was the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty. After Hu Wei retired, Yao Kui took the position of Duke Ming in the court. Among the 27 courtiers in Wenhua Hall, Yao Kui also sat at the long table. Very close to His Majesty.

Before Yao Long went to Fujian to be the Zuo Buzheng, Yu Zijun and Yao Long did not get along very well, and the two still did not get along when they arrived in Jiangxi. Yu Zijun once openly contradicted Yao Long, because Yao Long was a little weak when dealing with Jiangxi school bosses, He is suspected of collaborating with the schoolboys.

Yao Long can't deal with the Jiangxi schoolboys, if he can do it, can he invite the emperor to Jiangxi to help?In fact, Yu Zijun didn't have anything to do, but he felt that Yao Long was doing something wrong, so he blatantly contradicted him.

To put it bluntly, it is called not fearing power for the country and the people, but to put it bluntly, it is just a bit arrogant and arrogant.

Yao Long was careful to deal with Jiangxi Xueba, and if he was not careful, he would lose everything. After all, there is a saying that the imperial court is half-Jiangxi, and it is really difficult to not invite His Majesty. Zhu Qiyu went to Jiangxi Jiulong Mansion, That was to go with Tiqi and Jingjun, the emperor was so cautious, Yao Long was more cautious, but Yu Zijun saw it as weakness and could not see Yao Long's difficulties.

If he is not in his position, he will not seek his own government.

If Zhu Qiyu were Yao Long, this Yu Zijun was under his command, so there was no need to suppress him. As long as no one recommended him, Yu Zijun would have only one end, and that would be to waste his life. From being in charge, promoting officials to magistrates, that was a big step in the officialdom, Yu Zijun There is no one in Jun Dynasty, so he still wants to be promoted?

My cousin Yao Kui is the Duke of Ming, and I am the uncle of Jiangxi. Who in Jiangxi would dare to recommend Yu Zijun?

But Yao Long still recommended him to the emperor. Yao Long's character is indeed a bit kind to others, and he always does things for Daming. If you can't urinate in a pot, he will let you go to another place.

The reason why Zhu Qiyu pointed it out so clearly is to let Yu Zijun know who the person who recommended him is. Now that Yu Zijun is going to be a part of the sky, Yu Zijun is about to face the difficulties that Yao Long is facing. You will understand that Yao Long is not weak, but cautious.

Zhu Qiyu's words have another meaning. Yu Zijun can learn from Yao Long, and if he can't beat him, he can call in reinforcements.

The emperor has your back.

"Who else is in Yu Qing's family?" Zhu Qiyu asked about Yu Zijun's family situation.

Yu Zijun was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "My elder brother was a student supervisor in Chongqing Mansion, but he failed many times. Now he is a teacher and has a private school. My second elder brother died early, so he has no relatives."

"Where are your father and grandfather?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Yu Zijun shook his head and said: "I have never met my grandfather. My father died when I was ten years old. My eldest brother is like my father. It was my elder brother who brought me up. Because of my livelihood, my elder brother delayed my studies, so I failed many times."

Yu Zijun's elder brother, Yu Zixun, is a peerless good brother like Li Chengwu in Jiugang. In order to take care of his ten-year-old brother and let him continue to study, Yu Zixun became both a father and a mother. Until the second year of Jingtai, Yu Zijun was in Only after he became a Jinshi did Yu Zixun get his wife.

"Has there ever been a distant relative at home?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Yu Zijun finally figured out something was wrong, but he still didn't know what His Majesty was asking. He chose to tell the truth: "Grandfather came to Sichuan from Jingshan, and the relatives in his hometown have stopped visiting for a long time. As for the two uncles, for the sake of the family. The ten mu of Susukida has turned against each other."

"So, I just ask casually, do things well, and go." Zhu Qiyu saw Yu Zijun's blank face, without the slightest fear, and knew that Yu Zijun didn't know his life experience.

"Your Majesty, please leave." Yu Zijun still looked confused when he came out of the lecture hall, but he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it any more. His Majesty's question naturally had His Majesty's reason. He shook his head and went to the Tribute Court. He wanted to review the papers. , I also want to edit a book and send it to Jiangxi. I would like to thank Yao Long for his support.

In Juxian Pavilion, Zhu Qiyu looked at the pile of information about Yu Zijun's great-grandfather, and said to Lu Zhong: "Do you think he knows?"
