Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 352
"What is Sun Shiyi doing for food! How could he lose so many troops!"

Snapped!
Emperor Zhu Zhu Daohua slammed his hand on the table fiercely.

Reports from India sent him into a rage.

The reason is that the coalition forces of the Indian princes suffered a defeat in northwest India!

Thousands of soldiers were lost.

This is the biggest loss since the Allied Forces of Ming and Indian princes entered India.

"It's rotten! It's rotten! It's too fast!"

Zhu Daohua rubbed his temples with a headache.

Although it was only a small defeat, it at least proved that the coalition forces of the Indian princes had lost their vigor!
The world in 1797 was destined to be a peaceful year.

In the Eastern world, the war has basically ended, only in India there are sporadic confrontations.

The Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty were busy digesting the newly occupied territory, and as time passed, the soldiers and soldiers of the princes of the Ming Dynasty who became Indian lords seemed to have lost their enthusiasm like many similar feudal armies in history. spirit.

They got too much after all.

Emperor Zhu took a deep breath. Fortunately, the situation in India is basically like this.

Lebao's army occupied two large cities in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent to protect themselves.

In fact, their biggest opponent was not the Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty, but King Pingxi of the Ming Dynasty who had entered the Fergana Basin.

The Mughal Empire was basically wiped out by the allied forces of Ming and Indian princes.

The Maratha Alliance is now also beginning to disintegrate, turning into small states and vassal states under the protection of the Ming Empire.

Britain's Indian colonial governor's office has also undergone a great contraction, and their territory is now the Bengal area of ​​later generations.

None of the parties has much energy to fight.

"Your Majesty, Britain's defeat. I'm afraid it has other meanings."

Sitting in front of Emperor Zhu was Yang Yuchun who had been recalled from the Indian battlefield.

After returning from this trip to India.

Yang Yuchun was promoted to general and served as the deputy chief of staff of the Grand Marshal.

"I understand, it's nothing more than enough fishing, I don't really want to hunt anymore."

It's not that Sun Shiyi doesn't want to fight too much.

Make the people below not want to fight.

So Emperor Zhu had no other choice.

"Your Majesty, a note from Lin Minghe, Governor of Jinshan Governor's Mansion."

Seeing Zhu Daohua put aside the news from India.

Lin Zexu, Emperor Zhu's secretary, hastily handed over the memorial from Jinshan Governor's Mansion.

The second migrant boat has returned.

It also brought the latest news from Jinshan Governor's Mansion.

Of course, it is impossible for Emperor Zhu to remotely command the actions of the Jinshan Governor's Mansion across the ocean.

However, the Jinshan Governor's Mansion is not an absolutely independent vassal king, so the establishment of various institutions and the clarity of power are still crucial.

Officials from all levels, especially Governor Lin Minghe and Commander Zeng Ada of the Jinshan Military Region, must submit secret documents for each issue.

"Intermarriage?!"

Emperor Zhu was stunned for a moment.

Marrying Indians? !
Emperor Zhu touched his chin.

This seems like a genius strategy!

Through intermarriage and trade, strengthen the connection with the native tribes, and at the same time better integrate these North American natives into the colonial system of Ming Dynasty.

Since the Warring States Period, the Central Plains Dynasty began to "organize the households and the people" of the aborigines in various places, striving to bring everyone into the sub-rule.

And China's stable rule over the southwest, including Guizhou, Yunnan and other places, also began with the Ming Dynasty's policy of "reforming the land and returning it to the people".

The so-called registered household Qimin began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

The enfeoffment of the Western Zhou Dynasty implemented the policy of Xia Jun and Yi Min.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was a feudal society with strict upper and lower classes, from princes, nobles, scholar-bureaucrats, countrymen, slaves, and savages, the upper and lower classes were very strict.

Savages are people who are not included in the rule, and can be compared to "indigenous people"-if you spread out the map of the Western Zhou Dynasty and mark it according to the actual scope of rule.

In fact, a large part of the entire Central Plains is not ruled by the princes of Xia.

The scope of their rule is based on the city, in a dotted shape, in a large area in the wild, and there are still a large number of indigenous tribes.

This is the so-called "Xiajun Yimin".

This situation until a major turning point occurred after King Ping moved eastward.

In the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the warring states continued to merge. In order to strengthen the national power, the princes began to set up a household registration system.

In the "patriarchal system" under the old patriarchal system, the land and people were all owned by the clan property, while the "registered households and the people" deconstructed and reshuffled them from the strict class system.

However, the aristocrats fell behind and "returned fiefs to the public". The countries were diligent in controlling household registration and expanding conscription, so they rectified the administrative area. Rights are broken up.

After the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was promoted to another stage. The Western Han government formally incorporated the landlords, self-cultivators, servants, and hired farmers into the household registration. After the taxation system was implemented, the central government could directly or indirectly intervene in the local area (feudal state). The county system society gradually became popular. China’s The social structure was formally transformed from the feudal city-states of the classical vassal states to the centralized society of prefectures and counties.

The management of the people in the Han Dynasty was implemented by the household registration system from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

In order to ensure the implementation of the tax and service system, the government of the Han Dynasty implemented a very strict household registration system.

Registered household Qimin has an independent identity, and bears the state's taxes, corvee and military service according to the amount of assets.

《居延汉简》曾记载编户齐民户籍情况，如户主徐宗:“居延西道里徐宗，年50，妻1人。男同产2人，妇同产2人。宅一区值3000。田50亩值5000。用牛2值5000。“

As such.

There is no so-called distinction between Chinese and savages.

Under the sweeping thought of "overall warfare" in the Warring States Period, all the population was included in the ruling system.

Hand over Lin Minghe's memorial to Peng Jun on the other side.

After seeing it, Peng Jun couldn't help admiring: "If, as the governor of Jinshan said, there is not much difference in appearance between the natives of the New World and the Han people, and the social structure is also very loose, and their civilization level is the same as in ancient times. The possibility of being included in the rule is very high!"

Zhu Daohua also nodded: "In this way, it is possible to win over the two large indigenous tribal alliances, the Sioux and the Albanians, to deal with the threat of the three-party forces in the east of the New World."

Whether he can assimilate the millions of New World aborigines, Emperor Zhu himself is not too concerned.

Nothing more than a few million people.

It can't be assimilated, and it won't take much time if they are all slaughtered - the Japanese Armed Forces Corps, the emperor's private army, is already very experienced in this regard.

But the key point is that Ming's power in the New World is too small, the population is too small, and the pressure to gain a foothold in the early stage is too great.

If the indigenous forces can be won over to Daming, it will of course be very beneficial to the Jinshan Governor's Mansion of Daming in the early stage of gaining a foothold in the New World.

Everything is difficult at the beginning.

Even for white people, if they didn't have the friendly treatment from the local aborigines when they first arrived in the New World, it would be very difficult for them to survive in the New World in the first place.

Emperor Zhu wrote several instructions on the memorial.

"In the early stage of the New World, survival is the most important thing. If we can avoid war, make friends with the natives, and use the natives to deal with the pressure from the Europa forces, it would be the best policy!"

After writing these instructions, Emperor Zhu handed over the memorial to Lin Zexu, waiting for the next batch of fleets to head to the New World.

Emperor Zhu's latest instructions will reach Jinshan Governor Lin Minghe's desk—but it will be at least two months later.

After dealing with these things.

Emperor Zhu smiled to the ministers in the Imperial Office: "Misters, that's all for today. If there are no accidents, Concubine Li will give birth to a prince or princess today. I have to go to the Imperial Hospital to see in advance."

Emperor Zhu's voice just fell.

A female official from the palace came in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li gave birth to a prince."

Immediately.

The ministers in the office congratulated the emperor one after another.

Emperor Zhu also took out red envelopes, and gave red envelopes to the ministers with a pleasant smile.

Although Emperor Zhu was born in Guangdong, he was generous in giving red envelopes.

After all, he is the richest man in Ming Dynasty.

Concubine Li is Li Qingyan, the eldest daughter of King Li Zong of the Joseon Dynasty.

She entered the palace as a concubine during the Liaodong War.

Already had two daughters.

This time, the prince was finally born.

The ministers looked at each other.

They all knew that Concubine Li was beautiful and was the emperor's favorite concubine.

But of course Emperor Zhu couldn't do anything just because he loved Concubine Li.

The reason why he was so happy that Concubine Li gave birth to a son.

most
It is aimed at the position of the king of North Korea.

The sixth prince is already the king of Japan,

Emperor Zhu sought another Joseon king for his son.

It doesn't seem surprising either.

Right Chancellor Peng Jun's expression changed, and he said: "Your Majesty, speaking of North Korea, today the Lifan Academy sent a memorial, and North Korea also had some troubles."

"trouble?"

"Someone in North Korea has rebelled!"

"Raise your troops! When did it happen?"

"Half a month ago..."

"It's been half a month? Why did you just report to me!"

Zhu Daohua lowered his voice, unable to sit still.

all the time.He didn't care much about North Korea, and Jin Yiwei didn't set up a wide-ranging spy network in North Korea. He just arranged spies in North Korea's capital to monitor the North Korean court and the two wealthy families.

But some people don't know about the chaos, and it's too careless.

"Why didn't Jin Yiwei send a report? Are they all blind or deaf?"

"Actually……"

Peng Jun's voice became even lower, "At the beginning of this year, Jin Yiwei reported that the news was that there was a civil uprising in Gyeongsang-do, North Korea. Does your majesty remember?"

"Oh...Of course I remember! Didn't it mean that the two groups of wealthy families oppressed too much and the people were in dire straits? It was just a small-scale riot?"

"There are people who are struggling to live. The corruption of North Korean officials and the rampant affairs of wealthy families have long been known. Even Zheng Minshi, the North Korean tribute envoy, once suggested that the emperor reform North Korean politics. This disturbance seems to have something to do with Zheng Minshi..."

Zhu Daohua had some impressions of Zheng Minshi.

He was the North Korean envoy who came to meet Emperor Zhu when Zhu Daohua personally conquered Liaodong and asked North Korea to declare himself a vassal.

Later, he was sent by the Korean court to Daming as a tribute envoy.

But this one is not at ease.

Every once in a while, he would write bad things about the two rich families and corrupt academies in North Korea, hoping that Zhu Daohua would promote North Korea's political reform in North Korea.

But Emperor Zhu didn't really want to make any reforms in North Korea.

North Koreans are many and narrow.

Not much oil and water.

National consciousness has also risen, and it is quite troublesome to rule directly.

As long as he can claim his vassal status in a safe and secure manner, Emperor Zhu won't bother to care about it.

And this Zheng Minshi not only spoke bad things about the two rich families in North Korea.

He also wrote a letter suggesting that Zhu Daohua develop Eastern learning on the basis of ancient schools of thought and use it to fight Western learning.

However, Emperor Zhu didn't pay much attention to this guy—it must be super troublesome to revive the so-called "Hundred Schools" that have long been absorbed by Confucianism, and then integrate Western science and technology into it.

If it is forced to be implemented, the new learning education that has finally gotten on track will inevitably be interrupted.

After writing to him again and again, Emperor Zhu ignored him.

Zheng Minshi, a North Korean Confucian scholar, still had a bit of a temper, so he quit, resigned and returned to North Korea.

"Zheng Minshi? Is he also related to this incident?"

"Your Majesty. This Zheng Minshi is quite capable. After returning to North Korea, he set up a so-called Dongxue Society, absorbed Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and established a kind of Dongxue. He traveled around, publicized Dongxue ideas, and developed There are many disciples. The turmoil this time is probably not an ordinary peasant rebellion, but something caused by this East Society. If so, it will be difficult to extinguish it."

Peng Jun shook his head and said.

It wasn't some illiterate North Korean farmers who joined the East Society.

It's about many educated bastards. Although they don't have much social resources, they can be regarded as knowledgeable and cultured North Korean elites.

"Dongxue Society... Dongxue Party!"

Zhu Daohua suddenly thought of the Donghak Party uprising that took place in North Korea before the Sino-Japanese War!
Could this East Academy be the predecessor of the East Academy Party?

In fact, many people in North Korea have put forward various propositions in the face of the great changes that have taken place in this era.

This little transparency, which was ignored by Emperor Zhu, has a population of more than 1000 million in the country, and social conflicts are unprecedentedly sharp. Two groups of wealthy families monopolize all resources in North Korea, and the rest of the North Korean people are basically living in extreme poverty and poverty. of hunger.

under these circumstances.

It is normal for some people to hope to promote social change and resolve or alleviate this extremely acute contradiction.

Peng Jun seemed to have seen Zhu Daohua's shock, and then suggested: "Your Majesty, this Donghui will cause chaos in North Korea. Although it won't be a big deal, it should not be underestimated."

"What's the opinion of the King of Joseon? Is he asking for troops from me?"

Zhu Daohua has put away his surprised expression.

So what if it's Dongxue Party?
The current Ming Dynasty is not the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, and even the bean curd dregs army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty seems to have easily put out the uprising of the Dongxue Party.

"Not yet, the North Korean court asked the emperor to support some guns."

Peng Jun handed the memorial of the King of Joseon to Emperor Zhu.

"Oh, just give me whatever you want."

Zhu Daohua took the memorial and opened it to look at it, then took the brush and gave some casual comments, then handed it back to Peng Jun.

"Send it to the Grand Marshal's Mansion, let Zhao Si and Zhang Hong figure it out."

Peng Jun was taken aback for a moment, took the memorial but did not leave immediately: "The emperor means..."

"Let them make a fuss, wait until it's out of control, and it's not too late for us to take action, and the North Korean issue may be finally resolved."

Zhu Daohua thought for a while, then picked up a brush and wrote the Dao Shou Zhao and handed it to Peng Jun. The content of the hand edict was to let the Ming army block the border of the Ming Dynasty and accommodate Korean refugees.

"This edict is given to the Liaodong Province and the Liaodong Corps, and they will know what to do after reading it."
