Yang Kang has nine suns

Chapter 318
In ancient China, there were several ways to change dynasties, such as lowering banners and flags, re-entering the customs, capturing the old and replacing the new, killing the king and seizing the throne, etc., but these methods were full of countless bloody storms, and I don’t know how many people Die from it.

However, among the many methods of changing the dynasty, there is also a relatively peaceful method hidden, but this method is often overlooked by people because it is too unlikely to appear, and that is abdication. , of course, that refers to the peaceful abdication.

Peaceful abdication is indeed very rare. Except for the legendary abdication of Yao, Shun and Yu, other abdications such as the abdication of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Cao Pi are coerced abdications.And recently, another great event of abdication happened that caused a sensation in the world.

Song Lizong Zhao Yun first issued an edict of guilt, expressing self-blame for his failure to govern the country well and lead the people in the world to live a peaceful life a few years before he succeeded to the throne, and then commended the newly formed cabinet minister Yang Kang governed the country well, and in the end, Zhao Yun unexpectedly wanted to follow the example of Yao, Shunyu and abdicate the throne to the young and promising Lord Shoufu, who was considerate of the people of the world.

Mr. Shoufu refused to accept it at first, claiming that he was young and immoral, but Song Lizong and Zhao Yun refused. It was to let Yang Kang accept the throne. They all knelt down and begged.

Mr. Shoufu seemed to be quite injured at that time, feeling that he was underestimated by everyone. He is a majestic Yang Kang, is he the kind of person who is greedy for the throne?Is that kind of person? Is that kind of person?

So he justly rejected the request for abdication from the emperor to the ministers.

Unexpectedly, it was night, Song Lizong Zhao Yun, who had no martial arts background, actually sneaked into the house of the chief minister, and put the dragon robe, which was the symbol of the emperor, on the sleeping, martial arts master chief minister. Now, Yang Kang finally no longer rejects the identity of the emperor.

On the second day, the enthronement ceremony was held as if it had been prepared long ago. The scene was not so grand and grand, after all, the new emperor did not like extravagance.

The name of the country has already been determined, and the name of the country has been changed to Daming, and the capital is located in Jiankang. After all, the surrounding economy is developed and the products are rich. The most important thing is that small capitalism and industrialization have begun to sprout in Jiaxing and Lin'an. This area is also the most powerful place in the Ming Dynasty, and it is very close to the sea, making it easy to explore overseas areas in the future.

From the courtiers to the common people, they all praised the former emperor Zhao Yun's abdication behavior, and compared it with the later Zhou Gong Emperor Chai Zong's abdication of Zhao Kuangyin, which made a good story.

Moreover, although Zhao Yun is no longer the emperor, but Yang Kang, as a generation of Mingjun, naturally would not do those deeds that made people suffer. At five o'clock, the auxiliary car traveled to Zhengshuo of the Song Dynasty, and the ritual and music system of worshiping heaven and earth in the suburbs followed the system of the early Song Dynasty. The treatment of not proclaiming ministers when submitting letters, and not worshiping when receiving edicts, their status and treatment were extremely good. princes.

And his fiefdom is mainly at the southwest end of Guangnan West Road, which is the southern end of modern Guangxi Province. This fiefdom seems a bit shabby, but as a virtuous and generous monarch, how could Yang Kang be a small-minded person? ?How could you only give such a small amount of land?

The vast Annan area belongs to Zhao Yun's fiefdom. As for the local forces, they are handed over to his loyal old subordinates. Of course, they are also given a small cabinet, or it can be said , each vassal state will be given a small cabinet.

At this time, Yang Kang made a special effort to ensure that the imperial power and royal power were suppressed.

During the above process, Yang Kang believed that Zhao Yun must also be voluntary, and there was absolutely no displeasure!
Of course, although the above-mentioned process is simple, although Yang Kang and Mingjiao have tried to weaken the power of Li in the Song Dynasty for more than a year, although they have tried their best to ensure that the quality of life of the common people has not been affected by the change of dynasty. There has been some improvement, at least people in a large number of areas don't have to worry about living without a fixed place and eating the last meal without the next meal.

But as expected, some local people who were loyal to Zhao and Song revolted. Fortunately, they had no popular support and their appeal was far inferior to that of Daming. Coupled with the absolute strength of the central government of Ming, they were quickly suppressed. Naturally, there was nothing wrong with those people. good ending.

After the south settled down, the northern regions were successively recovered by Ming Dynasty. The emperor of Jin Kingdom Wanyan Shouchun finally killed himself, and Dajin was completely destroyed. The only thing in the whole world that can still threaten Ming Dynasty is Mongolia.

The six Jiangnan monsters also came back from Mongolia soon. Although they did not receive the usual punishments of the Mongols, such as missing noses and ears, the Mongols were obviously not friendly to them, and they did not take into account that the torpedoes were in their hands. In the current situation, only a few people who have a good relationship with Tuo Lei have expressed some condolences to Tuo Lei.

Yang Kang had already expected this. After all, what are relatives in front of rights?At this time, Yang Kang's long-standing "Fire Flag" finally came in handy.

The Mongolian steppe is the largest in Asia and one of the most extensive in the world.Every July and August is the period when the grass grows most vigorously on the grassland. At this time, the grassland is covered with thick green grass mud, which is very spectacular.

The bannermen of the "Fire Banner" stopped from the carriage with oil barrels and wine barrels. One of the bannermen poured the wine or oil in the barrel on the nearby grassland, and then threw the torch on the grassland. Suddenly, the flames sprang up and spread rapidly, and the entire grassland was burned by flames. This is a palpitating scene.

In this scene, the fire roars, and the smoke that rises up is almost suffocating.The fire burned on the grassland, and the fiery flames danced like flames on the earth.

Everything was spreading, the flames started from a small patch of grass and quickly turned into patch after patch of raging fire.In the flames, trees and grass were reduced to nothing, reduced to ashes.

Strong winds were blowing, fueling the fire even more.The entire grassland was surrounded by flames, and the bad air flow made the fire even more rampant.Pieces of smoke condensed into gray clouds, covering the barren land.

And the same scene happened in many areas in the southern part of the Mongolian steppe.

However, Yang Kang also set up border mutual market areas at many passes in the Ming Dynasty, and expressed that he could accept Mongolian or other nomadic peoples, and regarded them as part of the people of Ming Dynasty.

This strategy is extremely vicious.

When the grassland is burned, the herdsmen’s herds will lose their food, and sooner or later they will starve to death, and the cattle and sheep on which the herdsmen rely for their survival will die, and they will also lose the basis for their survival, and will face a difficult choice—— —Surrender to the south and join Daming, migrate westward, or fight to the death with Ming.

And the time that can give them to make a choice is not enough, after all, they are destined to lose all their money this year, and they may not even be able to survive the winter.

Yang Kang knew that his strategy was cruel, but many times the truth was that he was so helpless. If he didn't do this, relying on the current productivity, it would be impossible to pacify Mongolia in the short term.

Lives in the present age, merits in the future.
