The Chinese diplomatic mission went to sea from the port of Shanghai in the winter of the tenth year of the Republic of China.
The spring of the eleventh year.
The report on the suppression of chaos in Guangnan Province was finally delivered to Zhao Han.
"Hanoi, Nghe An, and Thanh Hoa have a total of more than 60,000 rioters, most of whom are peasants instigated by the Vietnamese gentry," said Song Yingxing, the chief assistant of Datong, who was reading a report on the situation in Guangnan Province. There are more than 500 officials in total. It seems that the number is huge, but in fact it is difficult to govern the villages and towns, and the countryside is still controlled by the gentry.¡±
"There have been more than 100 peasant associations in Guangnan Province. Based on the peasant associations, more than 80 peasant brigades have been formed. However, the influence of the Yue gentry is too great. More than 80 Guangnan peasants The brigade was supposed to be used by the imperial court, but half of it participated in this riot."
"The local scholars in Guangnan are mostly from the families of Yue gentry. They spread rumors everywhere, and the benevolent government implemented by His Majesty was distorted by them into tyranny. The peasants in Guangnan didn't know what to do, so they rebelled in a daze."
"The gentry of the Yue nationality still wanted to get rid of themselves and only planned in secret. Those who took the lead were those Guangnan tyrants, ruffians, and bandits"
"In this battle, a total of more than 6,000 rebels were killed and more than 30,000 were captured. The rest of the rebels all broke up and fled, and a few fled into the mountains. Our officers and soldiers killed 19 people and seriously injured 16 people. The wasteland on the riverbank should be handed over to the Han people there for management. Also, send a mission team there to help the Han people in Nanqi form a militia, and it would be best to build a school.¡±
Zhao Han took a closer look and was suddenly speechless.
The so-called land of Nanqi is the seaside area of ??the Mekong Delta. And Haxian Town, where overseas Han people live together, is actually at the mouth of the Mekong River¡ªmany of the Han people in Hexian Town fled to sea in the Ming Dynasty. There are also some Han merchants who settled there to do business, specializing in the purchase of Cambodian local products.
The lower reaches of the Mekong River are full of mangroves and deserted beaches, which have not been reclaimed at all at this time, so although the King of Cambodia is unhappy, he has been turning a blind eye and closing his eyes. Even the Cambodian officials, gentry and aristocrats are still doing business with the Han merchants in Ha Tien Town, and they are happy to see the Han people get together.
After thinking carefully, Zhao Han said: "If half of the Yue prisoners are exiled, I am afraid the Han people in Nanqi will not be able to suppress them. How about we only exile 3,000 Yue prisoners and let them go to Nanqi to reclaim wasteland and atone for their sins, and integrate with the local Han people as soon as possible. 2,000 of the remaining Yue captives were exiled to Taiwan, scattered and distributed to various counties in Taiwan. Another 500 were exiled to Malacca, and 1,000 were exiled to Palembang. The rest were all relocated to the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guangxi. , Mining in Guangxi. Girls over 16 years old immigrate to the north. There are more men than girls in the north, and there is a shortage of women to marry. Children under the age of 16 migrate to the north with their mothers."
After thinking about it, Zhao Han added: "No matter men or women, regardless of age, if you want to immigrate to a place of bitter cold, you can keep your family reunited, and all of them will move to the Songhua River Basin in the northeast!"
The imperial court wanted to build the capital of Heilongjiang, and the Songhua River Basin was seriously short of people. The Vietnamese gentry immigrated to the past, and those who were not familiar with the place must be better governed than the Mongols there.
"Your Majesty is merciful!"
All the ministers shouted.
It is indeed kind, adding this sentence, many Vietnamese gentry can escape the fate of mining, and can also avoid the end of their wives and children. As for whether he will be frozen to death, it depends on luck. Anyway, the government will try to arrange it properly.
This time, 36 ethnic groups in Vietnam were ransacked in one go. Although only the main members of the great clan were arrested, and the minor branches were not moved, Vietnam should be able to stop.
Many of them caught the wrong ones, and perhaps some big families really did not participate in the rebellion. But who's really going to tell the difference? Being a big family is the original sin, maybe not participating in the rebellion, but exploiting the people is definitely enough.
Next, assimilate slowly, it may take several generations
All the ministers withdrew, and Xu Ying was invited in by the female officer.
"Walk with me." Zhao This is purely "retirement disease". He is full of energy when he is working on the job, and all kinds of problems will appear when he returns home after retirement.
"It's a pity." Xu Ying echoed, but in fact he didn't have much friendship with Li Banghua.
After walking for a while, Zhao Han suddenly said: "Go to Jiangsu to be the chief minister. The merchants there are getting more and more troublesome. Salt affairs, as well as commercial taxes, check it out hard, and I will let the inspector The hospital is fully cooperating.¡±
Xu Ying immediately had a serious expression: "The inspectorate can't even investigate, and you still want to select a chief executive to sit in the town?"
Zhao Han said: "The Procuratorate is sure to be able to investigate, but the intertwined relationship needs to be sorted out slowly. Jiangsu's business is booming, and collusion between officials and businessmen has also increased. It needs to be dealt with severely for several years, not to investigate and kill a few officials. Just do it."
? Jiangsu is the fastest-growing province, with the highest industry and commerce in the country, and the population?? is also rising wildly.
In another ten years, Jiangsu's population is likely to rank first in the country.
Zhao Han thought for a while, and said, "The Tianzheng in Jiangsu seems to have a big problem."
"What's wrong with Tian Zheng?" Xu Ying frowned.
Zhao Han said: "Although the imperial court tried its best to relieve disasters, it is inevitable that there are people who can't take care of them. There are so many farmers, some owe huge debts in business, and some are seriously ill and helpless. Some even participated in gambling and lost their entire family. swing
Zhao Han said: "If you go to govern Jiangxi, you must do three things well. Clean up Jiangsu's salt affairs, clean up Jiangsu's commercial taxes, and curb the trend of changing rice to mulberry! It¡¯s enough to fight, and the Procuratorate will help you. If it doesn¡¯t work, kill a few wealthy businessmen. If my brother-in-law doesn¡¯t know how to do it, he can kill him together!¡±
"Yes!" Xu Ying bowed upright.
Xu Ying's black guard was previously represented by his deputy.
Now that Xu Ying has officially resigned, the Black Guards will be formalized, and the administrative level is similar to that of the Procuratorate. Too lazy to think about the name, Zhao Han planned to change the name to "National Security Institute".
Neither the Procuratorate nor the National Security Council has the power to arrest, but at critical times, they can bypass the cabinet and be directly responsible to the emperor.
