Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 954, rebellions everywhere

In the study room of Qianqing Palace in the capital, Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Zhang Mao, Liu Jin and others were urgently called into the palace again by Emperor Hongzhi.

"Look, ever since the citizen hierarchy was announced to the world, there have been turmoil in various places in Ming Dynasty."

"The chieftains in the Southwest have revived, not only killing the officials sent by the imperial court, but also demanding the restoration of the former chieftain system; the Turkic, Uighur, and Hui tribes in the Western Regions rebelled, saying that our imperial court did not treat them equally, and asked the imperial court to recognize their tribes The leader is a local official who governs one side."

"On the other side of Uzang, Uzang's trumpets and chieftains once again rebelled against our Ming Dynasty, killed imperial officials, restored the serf system, and even returned soldiers to Gansu."

Emperor Hongzhi threw the stack of emergency memorials in his hand to the ground fiercely, and he looked very angry.

"Hum~"

"Sure enough, it's all wolfish ambition. Just such a policy can't be tolerated anymore. When it comes to rebellion, it's rebellion. It's asking for power from the court, and it's killing the officials of the court. It's simply lawless. How can I have Ming in my heart? How can I have me? The Son of Heaven."

What Emperor Hongzhi was angry about was not the citizen hierarchy, but what he was angry about was that these Sifang tribes who were obedient and submissive to Ming Dynasty originally thought that they had obeyed the rule of Ming Dynasty and would no longer rebel in their hearts.

Who knows that all of this is no different from what Liu Jin said. The reason why they are willing to surrender to Daming now is because of Daming's powerful force, and they do not follow Daming sincerely.

These places are different from the traditional two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the people here are also different from the Han people of the Ming Dynasty. They obey the Ming Dynasty, but they are not a family with the Ming Dynasty in essence.

In other words, there is no real integration between each other, so if you can betray Ming Dynasty today, you can naturally do it tomorrow, which also further proves the necessity of this system formulated by Liu Jin.

Because they can be considered as a family only if they are truly integrated and have a common culture and thinking. Otherwise, even if they surrender to Daming for a while, once Daming weakens, they will eventually part ways.

Now it is just the introduction of a citizen hierarchy system. The chieftains in the southwest, the tribal leaders and nobles in the western regions, and the trumpets and chieftains in Uzbekistan, etc. couldn't bear it, and they killed court officials one after another and rebelled.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the court should deal with this matter quickly and severely."

"This is just a policy of the imperial court. These local tribes have already rebelled. They have not sincerely loyal to my Ming Dynasty. They are still considering the interests of their own tribes, not the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty. Thinking about it, the form is still the same as before, in name it is subject to my Ming Dynasty, it is a part of my Ming Dynasty, but in fact it is still a country within a country, doing its own thing, and not obeying the imperial government's orders."

Liu Jian thought for a while and immediately stood up and said.

There is no doubt that this must be severely cracked down. To eliminate the power of these tribes, especially the rule of these tribe leaders and nobles, this is what the court needs to do most now.

Only when the leaders and nobles of these tribes are wiped out, or the foundation of their rule is wiped out, can the Ming Dynasty truly implement the rule of delegated officials in these places, so as to achieve the goal of firmly integrating these places into the territory of the Ming Dynasty .

"I think what Liu Gong said is true!"

Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others also stood up to express their views.

Regardless of the fact that everyone is a civil servant, in the past, I am afraid that everyone would be the most opposed to war, but times have changed, Ming has a strong force, and is about to create an unprecedented prosperity. Naturally, these tribal leaders and nobles cannot be tolerated. Where is the fuss.

"Your Majesty, the southwestern chieftains are nothing to worry about. In the past few years, the power of the southwestern chieftains has been greatly weakened. Now they are willing to follow them to resist the rule of the imperial court. It is only their last bit of power. The imperial court only needs to order Local garrisons can easily destroy them."

"The tribes in the Western Regions don't need to worry too much. The Western Regions have Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia, and my imperial court's [-] troops, which are enough to wipe them out easily."

"It is Uzbek that really needs to be cautious. Uzang has a large area and few people, and it belongs to the plateau area. The Han people here are very rare. Although the imperial court has abolished the serf system in Uzang, the foundation of the imperial court's rule here is still weak. , mainly rely on these horns and toast.”

"This is also the reason why Uzang Chieftain and La Ba dared to rebel and attack Qinghai and Gansu, because here, our court has no power except for a few officials."

"That's why I thought it would not be difficult to suppress the rebellion here in Uzang. Uzang is vast and sparsely populated, with an extreme shortage of supplies and limited strength. My imperial court's garrisons in Qinghai and Gansu are enough to suppress it easily."

"However, if we want to completely solve the problem of Uzbek, we should completely abolish the serf system, attack the basis of Uzbek chieftain and trumpet rule, and at the same time send a large army to Uzbek."

After thinking about it, Liu Jin stood up and said.

The most serious problem is actually Uzbek. As for the southwestern chieftains and the tribes of the Western Regions, there is nothing to worry about.

As for the tribes in the Western Regions, when I was in the Western Regions last winter, I had already slaughtered all directions, and with Yang Yun in charge, and an army of [-], there was nothing wrong with it.

At most, the leaders and nobles of these tribes just feel unbalanced in their hearts. I have already surrendered to Daming, what else do you want?

They are just making the last struggle for their own decency, and none of them will easily give up their status and identity in their own tribe.

The real problem is that Us is hiding here.

The altitude of Wusi Tibet is too high, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the natural conditions are harsh. The imperial court does not even have immigrants here, because the land here is not fertile, and there are no farms. very low.

Secondly, the pastures here are far inferior to the grasslands in the north and the grasslands in the Western Regions, etc. The grazing can only graze yaks, which grow slowly and taste bad.

It can be said that the natural conditions in Tibet are really bad. Even if the imperial court formulates immigration policies, it is estimated that no immigrants are willing to go there.

Isn't this immigrant Liaodong, Western Regions, and Hezhong not fragrant?If you want land, you have land, and if you want beautiful women, you have beautiful women. The natural conditions are good and the life is rich.

If it is not possible to immigrate to Nanyang, that is also possible. The rice is ripe three times a year, the fruit that can not be eaten, and the sugar cane can make a fortune. Isn't this a bad day?
No matter how bad it is to immigrate to overseas colonies, Australia, or Golden Island, that would be good. Overseas colonies have introduced many policies to attract Ming people to emigrate.

Australia’s kangaroo meat is said to be able to nourish yin and nourish yang, and you can’t finish eating it. You can graze the fertile pastures; you can’t dig out the gold in the Golden Island. If you cultivate [-] mu, it is yours.

Therefore, no one is willing to immigrate to Uzbek. There are too few Han people here, and it is too difficult for the imperial court to shake the dominance of Uzang trumpets and chieftains.

"Your Majesty, what Liu Jin said is reasonable, and I also think that we should send a large army to U-Tsang directly, and at the same time completely abolish the serf system in U-Tsang."

"At the same time, the imperial court should also strictly require U-Tsang's horns and chieftains to learn Chinese characters, change Chinese surnames, and adopt Chinese names. As long as they persist for a long time, U-Tsang can be permanently included in our Ming Dynasty's rule."

Zhang Mao also stood up and said.

"Hmm~"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly after hearing this, thought for a while and asked again: "Zhang Mao, how many troops does our Ming Dynasty have now?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty now has an army of [-], a navy of [-], and a total force of [-], including [-] troops in the Western Regions, [-] troops in the Hezhong Region, [-] troops in Qinghai and Gansu, and [-] troops in the Northern Grassland and Liaodong Region. There are [-] garrisons in the capital, [-] garrisons in the southwest, [-] garrisons in Nanyang, [-] garrisons in Huangjinzhou, [-] garrisons in Australia, and a total of [-] garrisons in other provinces."

"[-] for the Bohai Fleet, [-] for the East China Sea Fleet, and [-] for the Nanyang Fleet!"

When Zhang Mao heard it, he immediately read it out like a few treasures. Such a huge empire has only [-] troops.

However, with these [-] troops, Daming has already swept all directions, because these [-] troops are completely different from the previous two million military households.

These [-] troops are all conscripts, they are all pure professional soldiers completely separated from production, and all of them are troops managed and trained by the militarization of later generations.

Although the number is much, much smaller than that of the previous military households, the combat power is enough to overwhelm the previous military households. You must know that the sweep of the Western Regions only dispatched [-] troops, and their own casualties were minimal. The Kazakh Khanate, which is enough to fight, bowed its head and surrendered.

This is the current Ming army. There are not many soldiers, but they are very sophisticated, with strong combat effectiveness, sweeping all directions.

"From next year, we will expand the army by another [-] troops and dispatch [-] troops to U-Tsang to completely abolish the serf system in U-Tsang. At the same time, we will vigorously implement the policy of comprehensive Ming Dynasty in U-Tsang."

"The southwestern garrison and the western region garrison must be ordered to suppress the rebellion in the shortest possible time. Therefore, those who participated in the rebellion must be given the most severe punishment, especially those chieftains and tribal leaders and nobles."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a while, and after thinking about it, he said very domineeringly.

An army of [-] may not be enough, especially since the army is only [-], and Ming's territory is too vast, and the army must be expanded.

Moreover, Emperor Hongzhi now understands that these matters must be completely resolved while Daming is strong enough now.
