Chapter 1010 The Xixia regime ceases to exist
As early as July of the fourth year of Hongwu, Zhou Mancheng and Kong Zhende jointly signed a letter to Su Yonglin, requesting Su Yonglin to give them a certain number of artillery pieces to equip the main naval battleships.

It's just that the number of artillery castings has not come up, and there is simply not enough distribution. Therefore, at present, only ten main battleships of the two naval divisions are equipped with ten artillery pieces.

In this way, [-] cavalry and cavalry cannons adapted to the battleship were allocated.

And these [-] artillery battleships equipped with artillery have performed very well in the war exercise at sea and have a strong lethality, so the navy's demand for artillery is even greater. They have repeatedly requested the Privy Council and Su Yonglin himself. Allocate artillery.

So much so that Su Yonglin now provides 40.00% of the artillery production capacity to the navy, that's it, the navy still thinks it's not enough.

There are too many ships suitable to be equipped with artillery, and the number of artillery is too small to keep up with the allocation.

And in order to ensure quality, it is not possible to blindly expand production, so this is a very troublesome thing.

Well, sweet troubles.

At present, it can only be hoped that the expansion of the factory scale and the increase of production lines will improve the production efficiency of firearms.

Then slowly and little by little, the entire army was equipped with firearms, so that the Ming army could completely complete the standardization and modernization development.

This is undoubtedly the right thing to do.

The achievements of Shenji Camp in Xixia allowed Su Yonglin to see the modern army's dimensionality reduction attack on the feudal army.

This is a complete dimensionality reduction blow to the feudal army in terms of technology, organization, training, and ideology and culture, and it is almost impossible for the feudal army to resist.

Under such circumstances, Su Yonglin no longer worried about the war in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although he knew that the Southern Song Dynasty had completed the recruitment plan of 7 soldiers and was further promoting the plan of recruiting 8 soldiers, in his opinion, no matter how many feudal troops came, it was meaningless.

It's just to increase the military exploits of the soldiers of the Ming army.

What Su Yonglin needs to do now is to contribute to the official establishment of Hexi Province.

Since there has been a rebellion of this scale in Xixia, although it is not led by the Queen Mother of Xixia, since the rebels have played the banner of the Queen Mother of Xixia, Su Yonglin can't help but accept their "kindness".

It is time to return to the arms of the mother, the land of Hexi, the old land of China that has been occupied by Xixia for hundreds of years.

As early as the Western Han Dynasty, this land was taken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the prefectures, counties and counties were set up to establish rule, which was the former Liangzhou.

In the changing times of the late Tang and early Song Dynasties, this place was occupied by Xixia, and the decaying Song Dynasty could not regain this old Chinese land, then Daming would complete this sacred mission in their place.

Su Yonglin officially issued an edict on December 23, the fourth year of Hongwu, abolishing the existence of the Xixia Kingdom, formally merging the Xixia Kingdom into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and establishing the Daming River West Province in the old Xixia.

The queen dowager of Xixia and the young king of Xixia were deposed from their original identities because of the crime of treason.

When the mother and son came to Zhongdu City tremblingly, Su Yonglin didn't embarrass them.

Su Yonglin decided to send the Empress Dowager Ren of Xixia to work in the Second Textile Factory of Zhongdu for labor reform. In the future, she would be allowed to work and retire as a worker in the textile factory and live an ordinary life.

And Li Chunbao, the little king of Western Xia, was renamed Li Chun. He was just five years old this year, the age of school. Su Yonglin decided to send him to the No. [-] Mongolian School in Zhongdu to receive new education with his peers and change his life. trajectory.

Xixia's nobles, civil servants, and military generals who participated in the rebellion will all be executed, and the relatives and friends of the tribe will be questioned according to law.

Beheading of decapitation, exile in Heilongjiang Province, exile in Heilongjiang Province, reform through labor.

After a meal, the old ruling class of Xixia that survived the two purges by Ren Dejing and the Ming Kingdom was swept away, and the existence of Xixia as a country was completely swept into the garbage heap of history and ceased to exist.

After the Western Xia Kingdom ceased to exist, Hexi Province replaced it. After hundreds of years of separatism, Hexi Land finally returned to the state it should have.

Su Yonglin immediately appointed Zhou Lin as the political counselor of Hexi Shangshu Province and became the chief executive of Hexi Province. Hexi Province, the long-planned administrative team, took office and instantly switched the administrative status. Its response speed was comparable to that of the Southern Song Dynasty court main fighting faction. and switching speed between main and faction governments.

Anyway highlight a seamless transition.

Because everything had been prepared for a long time, after the Ming Dynasty took over the Xixia regime, it basically followed the requirements of Hexi Province. Therefore, the old place of Xixia entered the state of Hexi Province in a very short period of time.

The bottom-level farmers and herdsmen, who account for the vast majority of the population, have been taken care of by the policies of the Ming Dynasty and the grass-roots organizations of the Renaissance Society.

They simply and directly accepted the fact that they became citizens of the Ming Kingdom overnight.

The bottom layer, which accounts for the vast majority of the population, does not object. The upper layer of Xixia has been completely eliminated by the establishment system. The remaining small fish and shrimp can’t jump up and down. matter.

Therefore, the demise of Xixia and the establishment of Hexi Province basically did not cause any waves in the people of Xixia. After the two-month counter-insurgency war, at the beginning of the fifth year of Hongwu, the Hexi Province was calm and the transition was successfully achieved.

The troubles in the northwest frontier of the Ming Dynasty were completely lifted.

Su Yonglin provided some preferential policies and financial support for Hexi Province, and mobilized a batch of materials to enrich the treasury of Hexi Province. Next, it depends on whether Hexi Province can use the Ningxia Plain and Hetao Plain to rebuild One came out of Jiangnan.

Anyway, after Zhou Lin officially took office as the political governor of Hexi Province, she came up with the long-considered Ningxia Plain Revitalization Plan and Hetao Plain Development Plan, as well as the environmental improvement plan that followed.

In order to cooperate with the macro policy of Yellow River governance, certain changes must also be made in the Hetao Plain and the Ningxia Plain.

While restoring and developing production, it is also necessary to restore the natural environment that has been damaged to a certain extent by extensive farming operations, and reduce the sediment content of the Yellow River from the source area.

This policy was praised and adopted at the seminar of the Ming central court.

Su Yonglin signed an order to allow it to be implemented, hoping that Zhou Lin could do what he expected during his five-year term and boost production in Hexi Province.

The Hexi Province is an important springboard for advancing into the Western Liaoning Province to seize the Western Regions in the future, and it is also an important military presence in managing the grasslands to control the grasslands. Its military significance must not be relaxed.

The stall where Xixia ceased to exist was also when Hongwu arrived in five years.

In order to prepare for the second imperial examination, Su Yonglin temporarily focused his energy on this aspect, and even the return of the Shenji Camp and the re-training did not distract him too much.
