Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1868, the generous and benevolent Emperor Hongzhi
On the vast and boundless Pacific Ocean, three large ships are advancing from east to west, preparing to cross the entire vast Pacific Ocean.

On one of the large ships, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin were drinking tea leisurely and discussing the affairs of the court.

Although Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin were traveling around, far away from the political and power centers of Ming Dynasty, because of the existence of radio, the two of them were well aware of what happened in Ming Dynasty and the whole world, and they could release an item at any time. order out.

It's just that Emperor Hongzhi really didn't intend to take care of these important national affairs this time, and he came out rarely, and didn't want to worry about these annoying things at all.

Having been the emperor for nearly thirty years, that is, when he was traveling around this time, Emperor Hongzhi could completely let go of this burden, and handed over the matter to Prince Zhu Houzhao and many ministers in the court.

Let them handle it as they like, and handle it as they like. I don't care about it now anyway, and I will talk about everything after I finish the performance.

Anyway, now that the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and the people are safe, the country is prosperous and prosperous, basically there is nothing too much to worry about.

Zhu Houzhao and many ministers in the court can also handle it. They have a perfect mechanism. Even if the emperor has not been in court for decades, there will be no troubles. What's more, Emperor Hongzhi only went out for a while and left the prince to supervise the country. , all the ministers assist in the governance together, so there is no need to worry about any troubles.

"The crown prince has acted too recklessly this time. Since the Black Earth Province has been incorporated into our Ming territory, the people in the Black Earth Province are our citizens of the Ming Dynasty. It is not a good thing to kill too much. I am afraid of losing people's hearts. "

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the latest telegram.

Emperor Hongzhi took more than 100 people with him, including professional telegraph personnel, who carried telegrams anytime and anywhere, and communicated with the capital every day.

On the one hand, it is to understand what happened inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, it is to tell the crown prince and the court ministers about the situation of Emperor Hongzhi, so that everyone can feel more at ease.

There was a rebellion during the Lunar New Year in Heitu Province, and the old local aristocrats who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Ming Dynasty united here in Mocheng with the intention of overthrowing the rule of the Ming Dynasty and re-establishing the Slavic kingdom.

In the end, you knew it without thinking about it. The Ming army, who knew their every move in advance, easily smashed their rebellion, and then launched a mass killing and purge movement under Zhu Houzhao's instruction.

In-depth excavation and clean-up of the original old nobles, landlords, church forces, etc. left in the Black Earth Province, for this reason, a lot of people were killed, and many people died.

It dealt a heavy blow to the forces of the old nobles, landlords, and churches in the Black Earth Province, and carried out a more comprehensive and in-depth sorting and cleaning of them.

Regarding Zhu Houzhao's approach, Emperor Hongzhi still felt that it was a bit too much.

In the eyes of the kind-hearted Emperor Hongzhi, since they have surrendered to Daming and pledged their allegiance to him, they are the people of Daming. Although some people rebelled, it is not appropriate to kill them. It's okay, there's no need to get involved.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince must have considered His Highness the Crown Prince himself."

"The year before last, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led an army to sweep Heitu Province. He has been to Heitu Province himself, so he must have a deeper understanding of Heitu Province."

"The aborigines in Heitu Province can be divided into two parts, one part is nobles, church forces, landlords, these people control the local people's right to speak, land, etc., and the other part is serfs, there are a large number of serfs, but they have no culture and no personal freedom and your own land property, etc.”

"My Ming ruled the Black Earth Province, liberated the serfs, and gave them freedom and land. Naturally, these serfs are very supportive of our Ming Empire's rule."

"However, for the local nobles, church forces, and landlords, they are different. They lost their property and lost the right to speak. Naturally, they will not be reconciled to this, so there are always nobles and church people rebelling. .”

"His Highness should be very clear about this, so he also knows that if the Black Earth Province wants to be stable, it must eliminate the influence of these nobles, landlords, and churches, and only keep the serfs who are loyal to our Daming."

"If the capricious rebellion of these nobles and churches is allowed, there will be no peace in the Black Earth Province, and with the increasing number of immigrants in the Black Earth Province, it is very likely that the immigrants from Daming will be affected."

"That's why I think His Royal Highness's actions are also for the long-term peace and stability of my Ming Dynasty in Heitu Province. The current killing is for the sake of no more killings in the future."

Liu Jin thought about it and expressed his opinion.

Killing is certainly wrong and bad.

But sometimes it is the simplest and most effective solution to the problem.

Black Earth Province is far away from Daming, and it is too far away from the mainland of Daming. Even if it is by train, it will take more than a month to reach Black Earth Province.

In addition to being far away, the number of Daming people here in Heitu Province is also very small. The imperial court has been persistently emigrating to Heitu Province, in order to make up for the situation and situation that there are too few Daming people in Heitu Province.

Daming wanted to rule such an area, and it was a place with a vast area, fertile land, and a pack of wolves watching all around.

If these people want to rebel repeatedly, they should be killed, their heads will roll, and they will be terrified. Naturally, no one will rebel again.

The rule of the Ming Dynasty did not mean that their people would suffer. In fact, the local serfs in Heitu Province had already begun to live a prosperous life.

Every household has their own land, and the food they grow is enough to feed themselves. If they have the opportunity, they can also participate in the construction of roads and cities, and earn a good income. I don’t know how much better their life is than when they were serfs.

The ones who are really dissatisfied are the nobles, the church forces, they have lost everything they had before, and now that the foundation of their rule has been shaken, they will naturally be dissatisfied and want to go back to the past.

But Daming will not let them do what they want, and the serfs who have already lived a good life will not agree.

It's better to just clean them up, so that Ming Dynasty's rule in the Black Earth Province will be simpler and easier.

Those serfs didn't know much, and without the inheritance of knowledge and culture, if they instilled Ming's ideas and culture into their children, great changes would naturally take place slowly, and Ming's rule would be extremely stable.

"Perhaps you're right."

"It's just that I always feel that too much killing is not a good thing."

After listening, Emperor Hongzhi nodded after thinking about it.

"Your Majesty is merciful~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he also quickly said compliments.

Emperor Hongzhi's benevolence and kindness are definitely not pretending, but genuine benevolence and kindness. He can forgive even those who have hurt him, let alone others.

"Haha, it's very easy to kill a person, and the person will be gone with one stab, but it's not so easy to raise a person. I don't know how much time and energy it will take to raise a person."

"What's more, people have parents, children, relatives and friends. If a person is killed, parents, children, relatives and friends will naturally be heartbroken. So I have always adhered to a principle, that is, if you can't kill someone, don't kill someone."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty's generosity and benevolence are the blessings of the people of Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is worthy of being an eternal sage, and I really admire him."

When Liu Jin said this, he admired him from the bottom of his heart.

There are very few people in power who are benevolent, kind, and generous like Emperor Hongzhi.

This is the emperor. Few of the ancient emperors were merciful.

When it was time to kill, he didn't hesitate, and he ransacked the family and exterminated the family at every turn to demonstrate the majesty of the imperial power and his own authority.

Think about some people in the later generations, the official is not big, but the temper is very strong, the official authority is very heavy, and they say that they want to destroy people all over the house. They are very willful. The intent to kill is great.

There are too few emperors who are as kind, generous, and benevolent as Emperor Hongzhi, and there are very few people in history. Naturally, it is admirable.

It is very rare to have the right to use the power in your hands carefully, to be generous and kind.

"Haha, you don't want to flatter me."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard it, he laughed even happier. He knew that Liu Jin was flattering himself, but he still enjoyed it.

"Your Majesty, I admire you from the bottom of my heart."

"Since ancient times, there have been too few, too few emperors who are as generous, kind, and kind-hearted as Your Majesty."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head.

While the two were chatting, Xiao Huangmen hurried over to report: "Your Majesty, we have seen the islands. We should be arriving at the Hawaiian Islands soon."

"Yeah~ finally arrived in Hawaii."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately regained his energy. After more than ten days of sailing at sea, he finally arrived at the Hawaiian Islands, and he could go ashore and rest for a few days.

"Go, go, take a look."

Liu Jin also came to the spirit, two lifetimes as a human, this is the first time to the legendary Hawaiian Islands.
