Acting for the gods

Chapter 151
After Jin was destroyed, logically speaking, history has changed. Although there is no real peace in Ming Dynasty, the situation is very good. As long as it survives the Little Ice Age and adds reasonable reforms, its national strength will definitely flourish.

"Could it be that the issue of domestic civil uprisings is still resolved?"

"Or it's a matter of time."

Jiang Fan thought of several possibilities.

Baoming destroys gold, now Houjin is gone, and only Baoming is left.

How long it can be kept, and to what extent, the system does not give a clear reminder!

It will not be possible to protect the Ming Dynasty for 200 years, or lead the Ming army to conquer the world and complete the global unification!
Or are there other forces that can threaten the stability of Daming?
"Forget it, let's stabilize the current situation first."

When Jiang Fan was thinking about it, the imperial envoy from Kyoto came to pass the decree, announcing Jiang Fan's return to Beijing.

Jiang Fan was a little surprised by this news.

After sending the imperial envoy away, Jiang Fan ordered Lu Wenzhao to be found.

"My lord, I don't know what instructions you have for calling me back this time?" Seeing Jiang Fan staring blankly ahead, Lu Wenzhao didn't dare to ask further questions.

"The emperor summoned me back to Beijing, and I will leave the matter of Liaodong to you for the time being."

Jiang Fan thought for a while, and said, "If you are undecided, you can ask General Sun and He."

When Lu Wenzhao heard the words, he was moved for a while: "Master Jiang, take care, the general will live up to his trust."

"In addition, order to go down and cut off the braids of the post-jin people. Newcomers have a new look, and those who are stubborn, you can figure it out."

Jiang Fan patted him on the shoulder.

The pigtails of the post-golden men are completely inconsistent with Jiang Fan's aesthetics. Coupled with the bloody baptism of "keeping the head but not the hair" in history, Jiang Fan intends to treat him in his own way.

While cutting off the golden man's braids, it will also allow them to better understand the reality, and stop having any illusions about the golden blessing.

As for whether it will trigger rebellious emotions, Jiang Fan doesn't care. Those who make big things don't care about small things.

If you have too many scruples, you will only bind your hands and feet, and can't do anything!
"Understandable."

Lu Wenzhao bowed to leave, returned to his room, and began to plan.

Controlling Liaodong is a fat job. For Lu Wenzhao, who is very persistent in power, this is his dream opportunity.

As long as he does well, he has enough capital for promotion.

As for the situation in Mongolia and North Korea, Jiang Fan has already firmly grasped it. As long as Lu Wenzhao divides, wins over, and suppresses those forces according to the previous plan, and cooperates with Jinyiwei's strength, everything will come naturally.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenzhao made up his mind to stabilize Liaodong as soon as possible!
Early the next morning, Jiang Fan, who received the transfer order, set foot on the road back to Beijing with his two personal guards, Qinglong and Baihu, and Nu Qingji.

After fighting for nearly a month, Jiang Fan's strength has increased by one point, but he still has not broken through to the sixth level of "King Kong Immortal Boy Skill".

Now that I am free, I can concentrate on practicing, stabilizing my cultivation, and regulating my mood at the same time.

Walking on the vast grassland, Jiang Fan whipped his horse and hummed a little tune as he recalled the years of fighting on the battlefield.

"Don't hesitate
Feihong rises, stepping through the clouds and smoke, between thousands of rivers and mountains

Eat cream and drink snow, forge ten years, sharpen a sword

Just look at me, I dare to teach Wan Fu not to be open-faced

Feihong rises, steps across the glacier, pierces the nine heavens

Lingshuang and Aoxue, don’t you see, it’s cold in the high place
And follow me, take the lead, the wind blows and the Eastern flag is shining..."

Jiang Fan sang a ditty with a melodious and melodious voice, carrying a sense of boldness and freedom.

The song's lyrics, though simple, are one of his favorites.

Qinglong and Baihu followed behind, humming along.

And the Angry Chicken flew into the air and croaked towards the sky, looking very happy.

Jiang Fan didn't care about it.

Today's Nuqing chicken has grown up again, standing on the ground, nearly 1.5 meters in height, and its colorful feathers exude a metallic luster, which looks very conspicuous.

Many people see the Nuqing Rooster in the sky for the first time, and even think that it is a phoenix with unusual steeds, which is regarded as auspicious.

Along the way, Jiang Fan sang as he walked, and before he knew it, he arrived at Zhongqiansuo City outside Shanhaiguan.

After approaching the town, Jiang Fan took the Nuqing Chicken into his pouch.

In the city, Jiang Fan could see that there were many refugees on both sides of the road. They were all disheveled, with sallow complexions, and all of them were full of sorrow and distress.

Under Jiang Fan's signal, Qinglong stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

After a while, Qinglong came back and reported: "My lord, these refugees escaped from northern Shaanxi."

"Northern Shaanxi?"

Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

The Shanxi Wanger rebellion was the largest rebellion in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. It failed in the 15th year of Shunzhi from the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and lasted 31 years.

It is precisely because of this large-scale peasant uprising war that dragged down most of the military and financial resources of the Ming Dynasty that the Houjin in Liaodong had the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to enter the Central Plains.

Originally, Jiang Fan's suggestion to Zhu Youxiao was to get rid of the outside world first.

Zhu Youxiao also agreed to distribute relief food, and ordered the state governments to relieve refugees and stabilize people's hearts.

It worked really well at first.

But the human heart is like an abyss, and it will never be satisfied.

Although most of the disaster victims want to live in peace and contentment, there are always some people who are unwilling to be ordinary.

Especially those generals of the rebel army, who are used to being rogues, often slaughter big families, eat meat and drink alcohol, sleep with other people's wives, and are used to doing things recklessly, how could they bear to go back to the hard days of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

It was the instigation of these people that many people who had been recruited began to rebel again, which led to rampant thieves in many places. Many people did not want to join the rebels, and began to flee and become refugees.

In order to appease the people, the imperial court resettled a large number of refugees outside the border.

In the past, the border was plundered by the Houjin all the year round, and the population dropped sharply. Now that the Houjin has been destroyed, the people can settle outside the border and promote the exchange between Manchu and Han.

But there are frontier troops stationed here, and the military prestige is strong, so no one dares to try it.

Putting the refugees here is not afraid of them causing chaos.

The scale of the current rebels in Daming territory is not large, most of them are small gangs committing crimes, coupled with the active encirclement and suppression by the local government, it has not yet become a phenomenon.

However, there are also local officials who concealed and did not report, causing the situation to continue to expand!
For today's Ming Dynasty, it is actually not difficult to quell the chaos. Later Jin has been destroyed by Jiang Fan, and now it has become the Liaodong Province of Ming Dynasty.

Without foreign aggression, we can use our strength to one place, and it is naturally much easier to suppress civil uprisings.

However, the most urgent task at the moment is to solve the food shortage problem, otherwise the people will not be able to survive and will still rebel!

In fact, after two purges of officials and wealthy businessmen, Daming is not short of money, but food.

Jiang Fan predicts that it will take a year or two for high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes to mature in large numbers, and then the problem can be fundamentally solved.

And to solve Daming's current situation, there are nothing more than two ways.

One is to invade other countries and obtain supplies like Houjin.

The second is foreign trade, through various channels to obtain goods.

But neither of these is that simple.

Fighting abroad is to transfer the harm to the people of other countries. Jiang Fan is good at fighting, but he is not good at fighting.

Fighting Houjin was because the other side invaded first, and it was difficult for Da Ming and Houjin to coexist due to geographical reasons. They could only conquer each other. The war will not subside until one side is unified.

Now Manchu and Han are the same country, they can communicate with each other, and the two sides can benefit each other, but it is still not enough.

Foreign trade, while feasible, is risky.

Merchant ships going out to sea will not only encounter bad weather, but also may encounter rampant pirates, Japanese pirates and so on.

Once the ship is sunk or damaged, the loss is huge.

Thinking quickly, Jiang Fan said to Qinglong: "You go to the yamen and let the local magistrate open a warehouse to release food and help the victims. These people came here because they trust the imperial court. Don't let them feel bad."

"Yes."

Qinglong took the lead and left.

Jiang Fan sighed slightly. Sometimes personal strength is really small, and all he can do is only within his power.

I just hope to help more people get through this difficult time.

At the same time, I hate those who use the disaster victims for personal gain.

Not only the mob, but also those officials who do nothing, because of the involvement of interests, the people are in dire straits, and man-made disasters are better than natural disasters!
