Supporting the body in the white blade, wandering in the red dust

Chapter 905
There was nothing going on in the world, and the guard posts in the interior were canceled one after another in accordance with Bai Lang's orders. They were replaced by battalions commanded by the generals of the local garrison. The money and food were allocated by the Ministry of War, and these generals only had the right to train and actually command. The right has to wait for the Ministry of War to grant it.Bailang intends to reorganize into a modern military system, and separate military orders from military affairs.There are troops stationed in each province - these troops are similar to armed police, and there are one field troops in Yunnan and Guangxi, which are prepared to suppress Annan.

That's right, Bai Lang has written a letter asking Prince Mu to come forward and claim territory in Annan, Myanmar and other places. He must hand it over obediently and repay it, otherwise the army will suppress the territory.In the southern regions, Bailang has also sent out many teams to conduct undercover inspections. They directly presided over the purification of the abbot and enforced the implementation of the unified payment of grain per mu. They also determined the quotas of money and grain for each county. Only more and no less were allowed.The imperial edict was issued to take back all the tax-free privileges of the gentry in the world. Now no one dares to object.

The vassal kings in various places were basically eliminated, and most of them were directly demoted to common people. Fortunately, there were no restrictions on doing whatever they wanted.Bai Lang has already killed many scholar-bureaucrats who have objections. These people must have accepted their fate. At least in Bai Lang's generation, they should not be able to make a splash - they are probably still thinking that you, the emperor, will be there sooner or later. No matter how powerful you are, it will only take 40 years. , let’s see again in 50 years!
They didn't know that Bai Lang could reign for at least 200 years. When their bones could beat the drum, Bai Lang was still enjoying life leisurely.

Bai Lang allowed the two shipyards to launch one ship after another and then joined the Ming Dynasty Navy. He is now concerned about the situation in North Korea - now it seems that the old monkey intends to force the old turtle to take action, and is now trying to find fault in the peace treaty. He raised his eyebrows and acted as if Ming Dynasty was the defeated side.The Ming envoy left angrily after more than a year, while Hideyoshi Taira was calling for another war and ordered the daimyo across the country to mobilize troops.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty Navy had only been rebuilt for two years. The new warships it received were named cruisers by Bailang. Only four new warships were completed. Now they are all incorporated into the Denglai Navy to find Jiugui Shui at sea. The army is playing for fun and training troops by the way.The reloading speed of this bolt breech-loading cannon is similar to that of the front-loading cannon, but its accuracy and power are much higher.

Bailang left the capital again, this time leading 3 infantry and cavalrymen from the three major battalions directly out of the fortress, preparing to inspect the entire Mobei, and then go to Hami Guard and other places to take a look.There will probably still be wars, and the land in Central Asia is about to be reclaimed. We also need to see if the technology of woolen fabrics can be introduced from Europe through missionaries. In this way, the occupied territory can at least make money through animal husbandry. .

Now the Ming Dynasty wants to strengthen coastal defense. The problem is that the coastal defense personnel are all a bunch of scum, so they can still only rely on mobile field corps to deal with the problem. "It is still necessary to develop the navy and defend the enemy outside the country." Bailang thought, and then remembered the Japanese pirates back then. He also said this in front of the princes in the inner court and the elders in the palace, "Shimiao is indeed a dog emperor! "Blatantly insulting his grandfather as a dog emperor, Bai Lang is not letting the sages of the Northern and Southern Dynasties be respected.

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't dare to persuade him.

Don't talk about persuading, even if you want to cover your ears and run away, it's impossible. You can only tremble and listen to Bai Lang's cursing, "A dog-like thing still practices Taoism and plays power? This thing has a purpose!" Everyone said With a grimace, he expected to be pushed out and beheaded by the current tyrant later. Fortunately, after Bai Lang finished cursing, he looked at them as if nothing had happened, "Just scolding the emperor? Isn't that weird? Don't say you didn't. I have slandered."

Everyone knelt down and said they didn't dare. Bai Lang burst out laughing, "Okay, okay, I will issue an edict right now. It is not a crime to scold the emperor, but it is a crime to write indiscriminately on the emperor's little yellow book. You will be fined!"

What is Renzong? This is Renzong.However, after the edict was issued the next day, Bailang took off the list of officials and powerful families in central Sichuan who had reported from Dongchang and resisted the idea of ​​paying farmers one share of their land. "They all ransacked their homes and beheaded them. No chickens or dogs were left alive." The ministers were also very surprised. Strange, although there are tens of thousands of people on this roster, so what?This emperor was the king of Jie and Zhou, and it was common for him to order the killing of ten thousand people at once.

Didn't he chop off Wan'er's eight thousand heads during that expedition?Moreover, he respected the ancient ways and built the beheaded enemies into a Jingguan. This was the only one who built a Jingguan during the Ming Dynasty.The key is that the number of other people’s heads is not enough.
Under Bailang's strong anti-corruption measures, the Ming Dynasty was somewhat restored to its vitality - he also canceled the road guides, allowing the people to move freely, and also strengthened the budget of the county government, allowing the people to organize and train militiamen to arrest Chuanzhou Thieves from Yue Mansion.He is planning to implement a modern police system in a few years, and the county government's powers will also begin to be separated.This can be regarded as paving the way for capitalism - there is no way, capitalism is more advanced than the so-called "East Asian feudalism".

Although Bailang himself sneered at the so-called "East Asian feudalism", this was clearly the result of the European feudalism being introduced to East Asia. The current Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with the so-called "feudalism" from top to bottom. No.It should be a landlord society and the county system is much more advanced than those European guys.Since the collapse of the powerful families in the late Tang Dynasty, there has been no feudal system at all.

Bailang is now taking advantage of the convenient waterways in Shanghai to develop maritime trade. While building ships, he is also developing industries - coal-iron complex and textiles. Songjiang Prefecture already has advantages in this area. In short, it starts with government-owned capital.Changes in the imperial examinations have also been completed, and many scholars are lamenting that most of the four books and five classics they studied have been abolished.In fact, the Ming Dynasty now needs more scholars - because the official establishment has expanded.

Daddy Pig is also being scolded by Bai Lang now. He is also scolded in front of all the ministers by scolding Lao Qiu for his short-sightedness. No wonder he is so poor that he is begging for food. When he becomes the emperor, he is still very petty and is not a qualified emperor at all. "If there is an [-]% or [-]% chance of winning the war, this government will only have [-]%, not more, Old Qu San!" None of the ministers below dared to persuade, and no one dared to jump out and scold the emperor for being unfilial. .

Because Bailang gave them a raise, officials were included in the official establishment and started to receive wages, but corruption was severely punished and fellow villagers were not allowed to serve as officials.If you want to make progress, you have to be transferred, and the son cannot directly take over my position.

After Bai Lang finished cursing, he led his army to leave the capital. On the way, he received information about the second Japanese invasion of North Korea. He did not go back and directly ordered to follow the previous instructions.Yang Hao was in charge of the civil affairs of Korea and the logistics of the Ming army. Qi Jiguang was not in good health this time, so he only served as a general officer in Liaoyang, while Ma Feng, Li Rusong and others served as general soldiers, each leading their headquarters to fight in Korea. .

"This old monkey is quite capable. How could he force the old turtle to invest his capital in North Korea?" Bailang looked at the list of Japanese generals and was amazed - the old turtle Minamoto Ieyasu did not go to North Korea, but his Four Heavenly Kings did. Honda and Ii, two Torii, two Okubo and one Hattori all led troops to fight in North Korea, and Date Masamune himself from Ou even went to fight in North Korea.
