Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian is thoughtful.

With the edict of this feudal country - how can we not get these places back?

A feudal country is a complete court team!

After sealing off so many countries, how many new officials will be needed?

Even if the feudal lords don’t care, how can the officials not care?

Who doesn't want to be an official?

Who doesn’t want to help their family get a place?

Driven by interests, how could these fiefdoms not become the actual control of the Ming Dynasty!

……

Of course, sealing so many countries would inevitably cause trouble for future emperors.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian made strict regulations on the closure of the country:

All feudal states are not allowed to retain troops except for Yamen (police).

All military power belongs to the Ming Emperor!

This is the barrel of a gun.

All laws in the feudal country shall be implemented in accordance with the "Da Ming Law".

This is righteousness.

Half of the tax collected from a feudal state belongs to the feudal state, and the other half is turned over to internal funds.

This is the money bag.

Zhu Youjian even stipulated what levels of firearms and artillery can be possessed by each level of nobility...

This is military power.

This rule comes as a precaution - even the most senior princes cannot own military spacecraft.

In other words - money, guns, fame, and weapons are all on the side of the Ming Emperor! ! !

These regulations are naturally based on stability considerations.

By limiting the military power that the feudal lord can possess, a lot of trouble can be avoided.

Moreover, for the leader of a feudal country, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not perish, as long as the feudal country does not rebel, and his own feudal country can rest with the Ming Dynasty!

In other words, they are - a feudal country for generations...

With these regulations in place, who among them would dare to rebel?

In other words - who can rebel?

Technology is booming.

Today’s regulations may seem inconspicuous.

However, as long as Zhu Youjian lives for a few more decades, as long as Ming Dynasty's attitude towards craftsmen remains unchanged...

Wait until modern technology arrives——

These feudal lords dare not say a word against Ming's rule over them!

Just like Xu Zhengming.

This aerospace wizard is tinkering with his plane with the first-generation internal combustion engine!

With Zhu Youjian's support for him, how many years will it take for the aircraft to appear?

When the iron bird starts to "shoot" bombs...

Is there any place that Ming Dynasty cannot rule?

……

At the first court meeting of the new year, His Majesty the Emperor presented such a huge reward, which immediately made the tens of thousands of officials attending the meeting feel as if they had been given blood.

The court meeting has just begun, and everyone is already full of energy!

——At next year's Zhengdan Dynasty, they must become one of the rewarded ones...

After Wang Chengen finished reading the imperial decree on rewards, all the officials bowed and thanked him three times.

According to the procedure, these officials who have received awards must express their gratitude individually.

but!

Because the scale of the reward is so large, I can’t thank them all in one day!

Therefore, the military eunuchs and eunuchs standing on one side whispered to each newly promoted noble who received a reward, the emperor's oral instructions that they were not allowed to come forward to thank them, so as not to waste time.

Wang Chengen's mouth went dry when he read a reward edict.

After the process was completed, he immediately returned to the emperor.

The eyes of this old eunuch who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to commit suicide in Jingshan were red.

As the number one servant around the emperor, even though he personally passed the imperial edict, he never thought that the emperor would add his and Fang Zhenghua's names to it!

The high position of earl was also given!

Wang Chengen, whose voice was so hoarse that he could hardly speak, could only express his loyalty silently with red eyes...

Fang Zhenghua was also stunned.

The emperor specially asked him to come back and attend the first court meeting in the second year of Ming Dynasty Yongsheng.

Founder was already very moved when he saw that Daming Technology had gone a step further and even applied electricity.

But unexpectedly, the emperor took action and made him the Earl of the Kingdom!

As an eunuch, he became the master of a feudal country. How could Fang Zhenghua not be moved?

However, the emperor did not give him time to thank him.

Looking at the second imperial edict handed over by Wang Lian with both hands, Fang Zhenghua puffed up his chest:

“奉

Tiancheng Yun

The emperor's edict said:

The country has its own code of laws, and the ancestral laws of the Ming Dynasty’s national policy cannot be abolished.

The king is given by heaven, and what the sage says is the system.

As the emperor, what I say is the policy of the Ming Dynasty!

The five-year period (plan) is about to pass halfway, and the construction period of each department has been exceeded. I am relieved.

Today is the New Year's Day of the second year of Yongsheng, and I have made various plans:

One is the National Highway and Bridge Plan.

Each ministry will consider the situation in each province and then decide on the project and incorporate it into the previous five-year period (plan).

Second, the Handu-Mizi railway plan.

With Handu as the center, railways to various provinces will be built, and this plan will be implemented immediately.

This point is left to the Gaoxing Railway Ministry to implement, and no other ministries can restrict it.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau of Dongchang is always involved, and Jinyiwei inspections are carried out at any time.

Third, the Daming Science and Technology Revitalization Plan.

The number, scale and categories of factories will in principle be doubled in the remaining three years.

Fourth, comprehensively promote provincial road plans.

In principle, within three years, the highway from Handu to all provinces will be opened to traffic.

In principle, the connection can be postponed in mountainous and remote areas such as Fujian in the southeast, Yunnan and Sichuan in the southwest, and mountainous and remote areas such as the Western Regions and Northeast China.

Fifth: Administrative division plan.

Split Huguang:

In addition to the capital, Sanfu, Liangye and other places, Hunan Province is newly established to the south of Changsha, and Hubei Province is to the north.

Because of the establishment of Gyeonggi Province, the Huguang area was reduced by [-]%, which was not enough to support the two provinces.

Therefore, Anqing, Chizhou, and Huizhou were cut in half to supply Hubei;

Yuanzhou, Ji'an, and Nan'an in Jiangxi were demolished, and Nanxiong in Guangxi was merged into Hunan.

From east of Henan to the sea:

Because Henan was split into Nanyang, Ruzhou, and Runan parts, it was merged into Gyeonggi Province.

Therefore, Xuzhou and the area north of the Yellow River in Huai'an were merged into Henan.

This is to transport the goods from Handu to the seaside faster and load them on ships.

Anhui Province was added:

To the south, directly under the jurisdiction of Jiangbei and the area west of Hongze Lake, is Anhui Province.

Mongolian steppe province plan:

In the area north of Longzhou and south of Beihai, there are Beihai Province, Mobei Province, and Inner Mongolia Province.

Liaodong Province Plan:

Liaodong is divided into three parts, including Heilongjiang Province, Jilin Shipyard Province, and Liaoning Province;

Nuergan Province Plan:

The Nurgandu Command and Envoy area consists of Hongwu Province, Yongle Province, and Arctic Province.

Sixth, Henan, Shandong, North Zhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hunan, Anhui and other provinces around the capital will comprehensively promote the plan of railways to prefectures and highways to counties.

In the Gyeonggi region, railways should reach counties and roads should reach townships.

The license was extended for three years, that is, in the next six years, all standards must be met.

Except for Gyeonggi Province, it is not included in the postponement.

In the next five years of this plan, we need to reach railways to important counties and roads to townships!

In the Gyeonggi region, it is necessary to connect every village with roads and railways to counties, so as to accumulate experience for the next big construction nationwide.

Seventh: Land laws.

The endless ice fields to the west of Nurgan and north of the North Sea; the deserts of the Western Regions; and the islands in the South China Sea, special development zones have been established.

All my people who have not violated the law can pay ten silver coins and be granted permission to go to the above places and choose a place within one mile to operate. "
