Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The warm spring sun finally hangs in the sky, and the snow on the ground begins to slowly melt. As soon as the first spring thunder rings, spring plowing begins.

    As the saying goes, the plan for a year begins in spring.  In order not to delay this spring plowing, it has become extremely important to integrate the refugees.  [bsp; Zhu Yousong stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the huge map on the wall in front of him. The map was marked with triangular flags of different sizes and colors. Only people with a little military knowledge could understand at a glance that this was a map.  A military map.  I just don¡¯t know how the map looks like a giant rooster standing on the wall.  Moreover, what do the colorful flags on the rooster mean?

    Zhu Yousong drew the map of China based on the memory of his previous life, and then based on the existing map in Prince Fu's Mansion, he divided the provinces that appeared at the time and marked which province had the most frequent peasant uprisings.  The province is most severely affected. That province is about to be occupied by Liu Guan. You can win the support of that province.

    Zhu Yousong showed them one by one on the map.  Of course, few people can understand this map, so it is placed openly in my study.  In addition, there are enlarged versions of maps of each province, which must be kept strictly confidential.  These are the maps that King Fu started drawing when he was still in Beijing, and they are all treasures.  Even the imperial military department may not have such a comprehensive and detailed map.  If some ambitious people such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others get it, I believe their destructive power will be more than doubled.

    Zhu Yousong turned to look at a map of Henan Province placed on the table. There were several connected and spaced places circled with charcoal.  Charcoal pencils have been popular since missionary Tang Ruowang entered the Ming Dynasty. Although they are not widely used, many people like to use charcoal pencils because of their quickness and convenience.

    Some of the places circled with charcoal are the fields granted by King Fu, and some are fields that have been abandoned for a long time without being cultivated.

    Zhu Yousong is attacking these long-abandoned fields. As long as he convinces the Chief Secretary of Henan, these fields can be used by Zhu Yousong as a place to recruit refugees for farming.  This is actually not difficult. After all, King Fu is not only the most powerful vassal king, but more importantly, the Chief Secretary of Henan, Hu Qiyue, is greedy. He will rent these fields to Prince Fu's Mansion with just a little bribe.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The entire imperial court is extremely troubled by these refugees, and even somewhat hate them.  They suppressed them for fear of causing an explosion; instead of ignoring them, the local wealthy gentry came to the government office every day to complain, saying that more refugees had entered their estates, etc., which was really annoying.  If Zhu Yousong first came forward and said that he wanted to integrate the refugees here, everyone from the Chief Secretary to the wealthy squires would applaud.

    It¡¯s still the same problem, money!

    When Zhu Yousong was having a headache about money, a servant suddenly came to announce: "Henan Road Supervisor Wang Jing came to visit."

    What is the purpose of this great eunuch?  Zhu Yousong frowned. He knew that Wang Jing was the most powerful person in Henan Province.  Even though Hu Qiyue is in charge of the highest administrative agency in a place like the Chief Secretary, when it comes to the actual power in his hands, it is absolutely inferior to the various supervisory forces stationed throughout the country.  These eunuchs, eunuchs, and supervisors have real power, or they have the emperor's trust. As long as a memorial is given, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, the people listed in the memorial will be imprisoned first and then interrogated. They can be said to be a provincial official.  They were easily defeated.

    It is because these eunuchs are the most trusted people by the emperor, because the emperors firmly believe that these people who can not only cut off the most precious things from the body but also die from it are the most reliable.  Therefore, delegating power is naturally both reassuring and extremely generous.  Since the Yongle year, eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty had great powers such as sending envoys, conducting special expeditions, supervising armies, dividing towns, and assassinating subjects.

    Normally, Wang Jing, the chief supervisor, has no close contact with Prince Fu's Mansion, so why would he suddenly come to visit him? Could something major have happened?

    Zhu Yousong was confused in his heart, but he did not dare to neglect. He personally welcomed Wang Jing, who was dressed in green and had a rosy face, out the door and into the hall. He served him tea, sat down separately for the guests and the host, and exchanged a few words.

    Zhu Yousong then smiled and said: "The little king didn't know that the throne was coming, so he didn't welcome you from afar. It's really rude!"

    Wang Jing is about fifty years old, with a fair face and no beard, round and piercing eyes, and a very majestic appearance. However, the sharp voice when he spoke greatly reduced that majesty: "I came unexpectedly and disturbed the young prince. I am rude."  right."

    Zhu Yousong even said he didn't dare.

    Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been three types of people whose temperaments are the most difficult to figure out and deal with.

    First, the eunuch¡¯s nature.  These bad eunuchs seemed to have bad minds as well, and were often moody.  You may be happy one moment, but you may kill someone by throwing a cup at the next second.  Moreover, these people have a great desire for power and money. Once they get to the top, they will either try their best to climb up or make a lot of money.

    Second, he is a scholar.  These scholars think that they have a lot of troubles in their minds, so they naturally point out things everywhere.??Jiangshan.  At the same time, there are cliques forming everywhere, such as the Donglin Party, Qiyun Society, all the officials who have resigned and returned to their old age, and celebrities among the Qingliu. The Piaotian literature that is about to enter the officialdom is extremely complicated. It is really difficult to fight and kill.  No, it¡¯s really a headache; moreover, these scholars are not involved in production. At least they cause trouble everywhere, and at worst they cause party disputes. They really can¡¯t be messed with.

    Third, women¡¯s nature.  A woman's heart is agitated, and these words reveal the unpredictability of womanly nature.

    According to the information Zhu Yousong has in his previous life, the direct cause of the fall of the Ming Dynasty was the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the uprising of peasant rebels such as Li Zicheng. However, in addition to indirect causes such as natural disasters, eunuchs' misdirection of the country and party disputes among scholars were also  One of the most important factors.

    Therefore, Zhu Yousong didn't have much respect for Wang Jingtong, but he said with great respect on the outside: "Where is it? The noble man on the throne is busy with things, and he usually can't even invite him. Now that he is here, it is really overwhelming.  "

    Wang Jing gave a rare laugh and said: "It depends on what the young prince said. In fact, I am here to congratulate the young prince on finally becoming the blessed king."

    Zhu Yousong quickly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, the throne, for your kindness. My father has just handed over the memorial, and the emperor has not approved it yet."

    "This will definitely happen." Wang Jing took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that the young prince was kidnapped by thieves a few months ago? I don't know if it's true or not!"

    Zhu Yousong thought to himself: "Thank you for your concern, the throne. The little king was captured by thieves and almost returned to a foreign land. Fortunately, with the help of a righteous man, he escaped from the tiger's mouth. He returned home in less than half a month."

    Wang Jing looked at Zhu Yousong quietly for a long time before saying: "Young prince, let's talk a little more deeply. I heard that the young prince was able to escape from the thieves because he took refuge in the thieves and was willing to be driven by the thieves, and  Intention to rebel. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not!¡±
