Days are everlasting

My name is Zhu Changluo, and I am an emperor.

Although I am a time traveler, this is not important. Of course, if my subsequent behavior is to be confirmed, then this identity is the focus of my many paragraphs.

I took a group of people from Beijing to the Nanjing Imperial Palace, planning to go to Xiaoling to worship ancestors with clans from all over the country.

As an emperor, I can't feel the pleasure of life and death at all, I feel very angry, plus as a time traveler, in the age of underdeveloped technology, if you want to expand, you can only bleed and let others get a share, so I decided to imitate the military merit system of the Qin Dynasty, and then imitate the khanate division system of the Yuan Dynasty, and thoroughly establish a huge empire that "is not old with the sky and has no borders with the country".

Anyway, compared with ordinary people, I can't live many more years. The things of future generations have nothing to do with me. From the perspective of Huaxia, a specific group, what I did is not wrong. I am changing that tragic future .

However, it is not so easy to be a savior.

There are courtiers holding back inside, and Jian slaves watching outside, and the clan and vassals are useless, this Ming Dynasty is probably a pill.

My name is Zhu Changluo, and I am an emperor who wants to start reforms. Before the people in the Ministry of Industry use technology to change the world according to my instructions, I am going to distribute war welfare packages to the clan and ordinary people.

I am a good person and I speak for myself.

—— "Zhu Changluo's Diary Written on the eighth day of September in the first year of Taichang"

The scene on the day of worshiping the ancestors was very grand, reminiscent of the crowds of people waiting for the flag to be raised in Tiananmen Square on National Day, and it also allowed Zhu Changluo to see how huge the entire Ming Dynasty clan group was.

Those clans with titles are alright, some bloodlines are so remote that only the descendants of Zhu Ming with a name are called unlucky, and they are also the most numerous group.

To be reasonable, Zhu Changluo had no idea how the group of distant clansmen who were dressed in rags and were worse than beggars came to Nanjing here.

Zhu Yuanzhang did stipulate benefits for the clan, but what those princes and county kings can get, can the rest of the unlucky ones who only have the last one or two ranks of titles get it?

Although money is worthless, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are sometimes disgusting. They use precious banknotes to distribute money, but the credibility and purchasing power of precious banknotes are completely different from the future RMB. People can use real money. Copper coins are collected, why use treasure notes?

Some are even more miserable. They don’t even issue the treasure notes, but just an IOU, which means that they will be reissued in the future, which makes people vomit three liters of blood.

Therefore, not everyone in the clan can live a good life.

As for those clans who are still well-clothed and well-fed, even they will only regard those relatives who have been separated by blood and often come to beg for money in order to survive, as uninvited guests who beat the autumn wind, and will not have much sympathy. Bar.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations, his descendants can only eat and wait to die, and they are not allowed to engage in such industries as scholars, agriculture, industry and commerce. It is really pitiful to think about it.

Outside Xiaoling, far away from Zhu Changluo and his group of high-ranking and powerful sons and phoenixes, there is such a group of impoverished distant clans.

Regardless of whether they came here on purpose to sell misery or what, they finally had an excuse to make trouble.

It is well known that many clans are not doing well, but it is one thing to have a tacit understanding in private, and another thing to put it on the table when it is really revealed.

The clansmen rushed over to worship their ancestors, not because they really had any infinite nostalgia for the founder of the country, but the most important thing was that the benefits touched people's hearts.

The emperor Zhu Changluo has let go of his mouth. It is the ministers in the court who are mainly fighting with the clans.

Listening to a group of them left saying "Taizu's ancestral system must not be violated" and right saying "Could it be that Taizu is so cruel that he doesn't even want to leave a way out for future generations?" Forcing the clan?", if it's just a monkey show, it's quite interesting.

Zhu Changluo, who originally had the idea of ​​leaving restrictions on the clan, and not only wanted Zhu Ming and his family to swallow the benefits, took the opportunity to start a fight, and the final "Martial Edict" was different from his original idea. .

On the day when the imperial edict was issued, all armies across the country were thoroughly investigated, and those who had emptied their wages and falsely registered quotas were all dismissed. Anyone with aspirations can join the army and be called for military merit.

Today, there are five ranks of nobles, dukes, marquises, uncles, sons, and males. If you behead a hundred, you can be granted the title of third-class males.

Anyone who has a noble can split the soil and divide the territory, occupying the land for three days, and report it to the capital, and the land will be given to him.

Those who don't have a noble can't crack the soil. If there is a noble, the amount of cracked soil is up to you.

Do not occupy other people's income, offenders will be beheaded; if the clan violates the title, the title will be deposed, and another person will be found to inherit it.

Attached with the imperial edict is a part of the content on the complete map of Wan Guokun Yu.

In this era, maps are very precious things, but Zhu Changluo just made people draw other neighboring countries of Ming Dynasty and even more remote countries.

Along with the spread of the Martial Edict, there were also rumors of that absurd and weird distant kingdom of gold.

Back then, Marco Polo ignited the enthusiasm of Westerners with gold everywhere in the East. Zhu Changluo said that he could do it the other way around, right?

During the Han Dynasty, what motivated Zhang Qian to open up the Silk Road?

The dreamy scene of gold everywhere in the countries of the Western Regions?Or is it that the Huns who have been subdued by the Han people still use the countries of the Western Regions as milk cows day after day to supplement themselves with their output?

No matter what, that kind of country with scarce manpower, where a thousand people dare to call it a country, no matter in the eyes of any big warlike country, it must be something that can be easily acquired.

As for the so-called Jianzhou Jurchen, Zhu Changluo really laughed when he thought about how many there were.

Not counting the Han Chinese, Mongols, and other ethnic groups that were captured or attached, the orthodox "Manchus"—of course, Huang Taiji has not been able to ascend the Khan throne, and the official name of the Jianzhou Jurchen as "Manchuria" has not yet been established. It happened, but Zhu Changluo is a person of later generations, so he just called it that way-it was only more than 5 until the Shunzhi Dynasty. The number of people is the largest, almost four times that of the full army flag.

In fact, it can be inferred that the so-called Jurchens are not even comparable to the Mongolian nomads. They probably belong to the fishing and hunting peoples, and they are completely different from the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom in history. They just borrowed a name.

Everyone knows the story of Nurhachi raising troops with the thirteen sets of armor left by his father and grandfather. Although there must be more than thirteen people under his command, it was because the family was too shabby at the beginning, and there were only a few people who could use the armor. Not too much.

Of course, if such things as killing good people and taking meritorious service are not strictly prohibited and investigated in detail, someone will definitely do it.

However, Zhu Changluo believes that with the famous names of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, the harsh methods of "fishing and law enforcement" at times, and the miserable fate of those who made mistakes, such phenomena will definitely be rare.

Since everyone is gathered in Nanjing City, it is natural to get things done first.

The Zhejiang imperial examination fraud case has drawn a lot of attention from the Korean and Chinese officials. In addition, the military edict has been passed and promulgated throughout the world, and the efforts of the civil officials to stop it have become weaker and weaker.

In fact, when not indulging in party disputes, civil servants are quite reliable.

It needs to be explained that the number of nobles with titles in the court is still quite considerable. Although the premise of splitting the territory in Liaodong is military merit, the titles inherited by their ancestors can also be counted. , so there are many children of noble families in the court who are also ready to move.

The civil servants said that they were very bitter in their hearts. If there was an internal problem, it was not counted, and the military officers and pig teammates next to them were still making trouble.

For Zhu Changluo, it would be best to have results after the order was issued, but he did not expect the results to come out so soon after the Martial Edict was issued.

The power of the Jianzhou Jurchen is growing and has already threatened Mongolia. The Mongol Empire still has Khan's throne passed down from generation to generation. clear.

Reasonably speaking, Ming Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles, and Mongolia was actually similar. With so many tribes, it was easy to see how much deterrence the so-called Great Khan had left.

After the martial edict was issued, a group of people rushed to the border soon.

The vassal kings and the like want to organize their own teams without being caught by others, so they are naturally very generous, and the vassal kings from all over the place gather the so-called village braves, who are young and strong in the places where their vassals are located. At least, the population pressure has been reduced a lot. In order to attract more people, even King Fu has introduced some policies to reduce and exempt local taxes on grain, charcoal, firewood, etc. that the palace has to bear, which really surprised Zhu Changluo.

Is this really his good brother Zhu Changxun who is scratching the ground and full of fat?

Because the Martial Edict was originally issued to the clan, and it also gave the clan the green light in some aspects, such as those unlucky bastards who only have the last title left, or simply leave only one national name and nothing else, as long as they If he can make meritorious deeds, it will only be Zhu Changluo's job to restore his title at that time.

I heard that recently there are wealthy merchants everywhere who want to repeat the old story of Lu Buwei's "rare goods to live in". Well, it's better than they can't think about investing in Jianzhou Jurchen.

The Jurchen people can be said to be ferocious, and their invincibility is largely due to the fact that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was affected by various situations, and super powerful firearms such as cannons could not be moved casually.

And once they use tactics such as rolling bead curtains to drive the defeated Ming army or ordinary people forward, and let them be scapegoats, the Ming army will be restrained to a large extent.

However, the promise in the Martial Edict and the map of Wan Guokun attached by Zhu Changluo attracted attention—and it should be obvious that Zhu Changluo told them not to just focus on Liaodong—plus Although the suzerain vassal army was quite large, they all fought on their own, and they shamelessly adopted the method of encroaching on a small scale - as for the territory that was eaten by them, Jurchen wanted them to spit it out again?No matter whether it is a vassal king, a noble, or an upstart of the Ming army who has accumulated a title with countless military achievements, this situation will not be allowed to happen-it is only a matter of time before the Jianzhou Jurchen is defeated.

Judging from the current situation, if Liaodong can't resist being taken back by Da Ming, Jianzhou Jurchen may flee to Korea or Mongolia. ?This kind of title is impossible!

The author has something to say: there are about two more chapters and the main text of this volume will be over. If there are extra stories, the stupid author wants to write about the West more than ten years later, bragging about classmate Luo Luo.
