After the rebellion of the clan led by Zhu Yihai in Nanjing was put down by Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming immediately ordered the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Zongren Mansion to try the clans involved in the rebellion.He also hinted that the officials presiding over the trial should be expanded and involve all of Zhu Ming's main clans.After overthrowing Zhu Yihai's Zhejiang faction and exterminating the remnants of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Ming naturally wanted to consolidate the Warring States and completely solve the problem of the Ming Dynasty's clans.Since the regent had confessed, the officials naturally went to his liking, and expanded the rebellion case, not to mention implicating all the clans and feudal clans in Nanjing, and even those who were in the local area and did not participate in the rebellion were found to have financed the rebellion because they had given gifts to Zhu Yihai or Zhu Yuqi and others in a certain year and month.In the three hundred years of Zhu Ming, there are nearly 200,000 children of the clan who are registered, and there are no less than one million including dependents.Although the Qing army went south and killed many clans, and the Ming Dynasty's finances collapsed, unable to afford the clans' income, and restricted the clans from engaging in various industries, resulting in many low-level clans starving to death or even leaving their homes, but the number of people implicated this time is still a huge number.At the moment, Zhao Ming doesn't want the Zhu Ming clan to become an obstacle to his grasp of power, and he doesn't want such a group of people in Daming to exist who don't produce and hold privileges.It was not much different from the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners at least still fought, but the clan could only occupy social resources.For this class, which only enjoys privileges and does not take responsibility and obligations, Zhao Ming feels that this opportunity to deal with the rebellion will be carried out more thoroughly.The Three Law Divisions and the Zongren Mansion abolished most of the clan titles of the Ming Dynasty in one go, leaving only the Gui Domain, and found a few such as the Zhou Domain, staying to call the scene, and taking the opportunity to abolish the clan and the family, and the industry also paid taxes, and at the same time did not restrict the clan from engaging in all walks of life, and could even be an official, in a word, it was to fend for itself in the future.Of course, they no longer have this opportunity, and they can only go overseas to engage in all walks of life, because the vast majority of clans have been exiled overseas because of their participation in the rebellion.The population of the clan is huge, even if Zhao Ming did not deal with many low-level clans, but there are still tens of thousands of men to be exiled, plus dependents, there are more than 100,000 people.With so many people and exiled to Xinmingzhou, Zhao Ming was very worried that a Zhu Ming regime against him would once again be formed.Therefore, the arrival of people from Dongzhou gave the clan an additional place of exile and could achieve decentralized resettlement.The residence of the regent of Nanjing, in the palace of Qinzheng.Zhao Ming sat on the main hall, and Ji Congliang, the chief envoy of the Dongcheng Male Kingdom below, bowed and bowed, "The junior minister visits the regent." ”Zhao Ming looked at the visitor, and with some eyes, he couldn't help but say, "Gu Ke has ever seen you?"
”Ji Congliang said happily: "When His Highness dominated the East China Sea, the ministers and city lords had the honor of being brave under His Highness, but they were later kicked out of the army. ”Zhao Ming couldn't help asking, "How is Zhang Yida doing in Dongzhou?"
”Ji Congliang came from the heart, "Back to Your Highness, the situation of the city lord in Dongzhou is very critical, and he finally colonized a piece of land and found a gold mine, but it was seized by Xiyi. ”"Thousands of miles away, there are no relatives, and if you are not Yidi, you are indigenous, it is indeed not easy!"
Zhao Ming sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "You tell Gu about the current situation in Dongzhou." ”Right now, in the Central Plains, except for Wu Sangui, Zhao Ming is no longer invincible.In Zhao Ming's mind, in a few years, he will be able to pacify Wu Sangui, and at that time, looking at the world, he will face the challenge of the entire Western civilization.This is perhaps a more difficult enemy to deal with than any enemy before it.Therefore, Zhao Ming had already started the ministry, and the next step was to gain a firm foothold on the west bank of Dongzhou to the east, drive away the Xiyi in the South Seas to the south, and then compete with the Xiyi for India in the west.Zhao Ming's greatest hope is to turn the Pacific Ocean into an inland lake in his lifetime, and then expand his influence westward to India.If you live long enough, then there will be a big war and a new order of the world, and if you die early, you will have to rely on future generations.A foothold in Dongzhou can contain the power of the Western Zhuyi in Dongzhou and prevent its influence from reaching the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, so colonizing Dongzhou will be Zhao Ming's next important strategy.Ji Congliang said: "Your Highness."
The land of Dongzhou is unusually vast, and the ministers have lived in Dongzhou for five years, and their boundaries are not known.I only know that to the north, it is an extremely cold place with few people, and there are many people who come and go.To the south is a vast area occupied by the Xiyi, called Mexico, and the land further south is also said to be occupied by the Xiyi, from which the silver of Luzon was produced.To the east are huge mountain ranges, and over the mountains, there are vast plains.The natives here have darker complexions, which are somewhat similar to us, and are completely different from Xiyi.Further east, it is occupied by several other western forces. ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, and asked, "Gu listened to the Li Domain, you came this time and brought a boatload of gold!"
”Ji Congliang saluted and said, "Back to the regent, it was originally three ships, but two ships sank halfway.This ship of gold, the minister on behalf of the city lord to the Ming Dynasty, please Your Highness officially canonize the city lord, and send reinforcements to reinforce. ”In order to open up in Dongzhou and compete for colonies with Xiyi, it is necessary to make both the court and the people profitable, so as to have a steady stream of motivation.When he became an ancestor, Zheng He went to the West seven times, a hundred years earlier than the Western voyage, but unfortunately the imperial court lost money, and the people did not gain any benefits.Otherwise, there would be nothing to do in this world.Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, "The Lone Society will send you a strong reinforcement.However, this ship of gold, first placed in Shanghai, will be ordered by the city of the city, specially for you Xincheng, to hold a commodity exhibition, you need to spend all the gold of this ship, leaving only a sum of money entrusted to China Merchants Shipping Company for sea transportation. ”Ji Congliang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said puzzledly: "However, this is the money that the city lord gave to His Highness." ”Zhao Ming waved his hand slightly, "This money is to be given, but not now." ”"What do you want to buy?"
Ji Congliang asked.Zhao Ming smiled: "Since you have something you lack in Dongzhou, you can buy it, even if you buy guns and cannons, there is no problem." ”Hearing that he could actually buy guns, Ji Congliang was excited, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The minister thanked His Highness for his kindness." ”Zhao Ming then said in a deep voice: "There is only one thing, there are tens of thousands of criminals in the imperial court, and they need to be exiled to Dongzhou.Lone handed him over to you, and you can use them to open mines and farmland, but you will need to pay a salary to the court every year. ”The biggest shortcoming of Xincheng Nanguo in Dongzhou is that there is not enough population, a new population, a population that dares to die of illness every year, and a population that dies in conflicts.If it goes on like this for a long time, it won't be long before the new city of the male country will be destroyed by itself."
His Royal Highness the Regent, Xincheng is willing to dedicate fifty percent of the proceeds to the Ming Dynasty."
Ji Congliang kowtowed excitedly.Zhao Ming waved his hand and asked him to retreat, and then immediately ordered: "Send Li Chengdong to see him." ”The strong reinforcement that Zhao Ming found for Xinchengguo was Li Chengdong.This guy was the first to attack Nanjing, although he picked up a bargain, but Zhao Ming couldn't break his word.Now, Zhao Ming still didn't trust Li Chengdong very much, so he simply sent him to Dongzhou.In this way, Zhao Ming has one less threat, and Li Chengdong is indeed more capable of fighting, when he arrives in Dongzhou, he should be able to deal with the Western Zhuyi, so that the Ming Dynasty can gain a firm foothold on the west bank of Dongzhou.Finally, a few years ago, Zhao Ming exiled many old Zhejiang people to Dongzhou, and now tens of thousands of clans have been exiled.Zhao Ming was somewhat uneasy about this, and sent Li Chengdong over to contain each other.
