Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 341

As soon as this question came out, the atmosphere in the map room of the Hall of Martial Arts suddenly became alive!

All the veterans of the new Ming Dynasty who were present showed joyful smiles... Gold!Everyone looks happy!

And this new continent full of gold came at just the right time!

It has been fifteen or sixteen years since the Ming Dynasty reopened, and the second generations of the new Ming Dynasty are about to grow up.Although the total population growth of the new Ming Dynasty is still slow, the veterans of the new Ming Dynasty, including eunuch Pang and Mr. Yu, all have a lot of sons!

Regardless of how these sons were born, these fathers have to arrange their future for them.Since Emperor Zhu had learned the previous lesson of "failure to raise pigs", he was very tight with titles and hereditary official positions.He would rather reward a little more money and property shares to the heroes below, rather than open the hereditary door.Even for those great heroes who have obtained the hereditary Danshu Iron Scroll, there is only one son who can become the prince, and the others are all white men, and they have to fight on their own!Otherwise, you will be a rich man for the rest of your life.

Regarding Emperor Zhu's insistence, to be honest, the people below have some opinions to some extent.

It's just that Emperor Zhu's prestige is quite high, and he also led his subordinates to make a fortune, so this point of view can still be suppressed.

In addition to these heroes' own nephews, these great heroes also have a large number of old disciples... The business of Zhu's father and son was a "partnership" when they started. For example, Zheng Jing, Qiu Hui, and Chen Shangchuan all led the army and Site joined.Even eunuch Pang, old man Yu, and Yang Qilong all have a large number of subordinates, even Su Yong and Da Boling in the founding team of Dananshan have their own group.

Since ancient times, very few of those who have been able to become great heroes are lonely officials, and most of them have a group of good family nephews to help them.

These fathers and elders, of course, have to worry about the future of their nephews and disciples.

In addition to nephews and disciples, most of these veteran heroes have clans to take care of them.Even Emperor Zhu himself formed a Chaozhou Zhu clan.

Although these clans who have a close relationship with Xunchen have no special privileges, they are living a good life under the care of the nobles of Xunchen, and they have been adding more and more people in the past ten years.The number of most clans has increased from the original [-] to [-] to nearly [-], and it is still growing.

Although there is still enough land in the Ming Dynasty to be allocated to these honorable clans, according to the land equalization system of the Ming Dynasty, if these clans want to obtain new land, they usually have to demolish and relocate...because most of these honorable clans are registered In Guangdong and Fujian, although the populations of these two provinces are not large, they are still not as small as those of Sichuan and Liaodong. Moreover, the land equalization system implemented by Zhu and Qi in these two provinces is in place in one step, and will not reserve Lots of land for the unborn.

Therefore, after the land equalization was completed more than ten years ago, there is no extra fertile land that can be equalized for the newly born population.Even the "quasi-royal clan" such as the Xunchen clan and the Chaozhou Zhu surname have no way to get extra land in their hometown - because the land near the settlements of these clans belongs to other clans, and everyone is a clan that hugs together for warmth Well, internal struggle is the same thing. When the clan next door comes to grab food, it must be unanimously external.What's more, "Equal fields are not for sale" was written in "Da Ming Yue Fa"!

Therefore, no matter what kind of powerful clan, if they want to get new land, they have to split up the clan and move out... But Chaozhou people and Hokkien people don't really want to go to Sichuan or Liaodong.Sichuan is too closed for them, and Liaodong is too cold.For people from Chaozhou and southern Hokkien who like to go overseas to do business and make a lot of money, going to Sichuan and Liaodong is not as good as going to Nanyang.

However, Nanyang is a land of miasma. Although money is easy to earn, the probability of dying of illness is still a bit high, which means exchanging life for money.For those clans with a little family business, it is not a particularly ideal place to go.

Even if they want to go, it is impossible to enclose a large area of ​​land. At most, they need to invest some money to develop some projects in a few transportation.

And this big gold mine in Fugui Bay in the New World looks a bit greedy... But the territory of the New World has been allocated to the King of the United States and the Khan of the United States, and the people below don't know how to ask for it!

Therefore, although the atmosphere in the map room was quite warm, everyone was too embarrassed to speak, and just turned their attention to Zhu Tianwang.

"Sad boy," the old Heavenly King, who was already 60 years old, said to his son with a smile at this time, "We all know that Fugui Bay in the New World is full of gold... so much gold, Fuguizi is alone I can't dig it out, should I ask everyone to help dig it together?"

Fuguizai was Zhu Yimei's nickname. He was not that rich in the first place, but the nickname "Fuguizai" came into being only after the news of the discovery of a large gold mine in Fuguiwan came back to Daming.

The news of the discovery of gold in Fugui Bay has not been officially released.But those who should know, Zhu and Qi have already let them know through various channels - he doesn't want people to flock to Fugui Bay, and the navy and Nanyang Trading Company don't have that much capacity.

And if the common people know about it, then the Westerners will know about it too.With gold as a driving force, perhaps New Spain can send tens of thousands of horses to invade Fugui Bay.

Therefore, the interests of Fuguiwan Gold still belong to the "insiders" right now!

Of course, now only these "insiders" can come up with enough manpower, material resources and force to jointly develop the El Dorado in the New World.

And if the manpower, material and force of these "insiders" are all invested in the New World, then it will be very difficult for them to make waves on Daming's side... This is a win-win situation!

If the Ming Taizu in history could also have a new continent to send out some of the cronies and clans under this group of heroes to weaken their strength, then there would be no need to kill the heroes.

Even if someone really doesn't like it, just block him out from a distance.

Emperor Zhu's gaze swept across the map room, and he could see the faces of the group of Ming heroes who were laughing from ear to ear. Well, they are all very pleasing to the eye, and they should not become rebels. ...

Then he laughed himself, and said to Zhu Tianwang: "Father, you are right, there is indeed a lot of gold in the New World, not only in Fugui Bay, but also many aboriginal tribes in the surrounding area have given gold to our people... ...The local aborigines don't know how to dig gold, they just pick up gold at random. The gold can be picked up at random, which means that Fugui Bay is just above the gold vein, and there must be a huge gold mine underground!"

What a huge gold mine!

The group of heroes below were all smiling and blossoming in response to the occasion.

At this moment, Emperor Zhu transformed himself, as if he had become a real estate developer, and began to vigorously sell New Continent real estate to the heroes present.

He smiled and introduced: "In addition, the two Mongolian thousand households also discovered a river valley that is often flooded on the west side of Fugui Bay. Now it is called the flood valley. There is also a river valley that is hundreds of miles north of the flood valley. The seemingly fertile valley was named Futian River Valley. A large piece of seaside grassland with rich water and grass was found thousands of miles south of Fugui Bay, and it was named Dahaizi Grassland.

From the Futian River Valley in the north to the Dahaizi Grassland in the south, the nearly [-]-mile land is all fertile, lush, and pleasant climate. There may be gold veins hidden in the ground, and they are all by the sea. Quite convenient... Moreover, these good places are unowned, and only a few indigenous people who can't even make wheels live there. Their weapons are only stones and wooden sticks, which are completely vulnerable! "

Zhu Heqi's words have come to this point, if you taste it carefully, you will find that the taste has changed a bit.

What is vulnerable?What is this for?Want to kill someone?

Before the people below could react, Zhu Heqi suddenly lowered his tone and said, "Do you intend to build manors and cities on these three thousand fertile soils, so as to build a legacy for generations to come?"

Seeking a century-old foundation for future generations?

What is this for?

Let the descendants be lords or kings?

These loyal ministers of Ming Dynasty were silent.

"Hahaha, this is a dream come true! I have so many sons, now I can finally have a good place to go!"

When the loyal ministers were all silent, Emperor Zhu's father took the lead in speaking.

The old man touched his five long beards of "Second Master Guan" and said with a smile, "Thanks to my ancestors, I have 22 sons...except for one who becomes the emperor, the other sons have to be arranged! Although Jinzhou Tianwang City, Dengzhou Tianwang City, Nagoya Tianwang City, and Beihai Tianwang City have been developed, but only four sons can be arranged to be city lords, and the other seventeen sons can’t just watch them have nothing to eat! Alright, we have a place to arrange!"

what?

No food?

Zhu Heqi glared at his old man angrily... 22 sons!I became the emperor, and one became the king of Tang, and the other [-] sons are all county kings. Although they cannot be hereditary (the king of Tang can also be hereditary), they will not have nothing to eat!

And Zhu Tianwang is good at making money!

The "brand" of Tianwang City has been established, and now it has become a "chain city"... This is the largest real estate developer in the world today!

There is also a Penglai Bank that has developed very well, and is now the third largest bank in Ming Dynasty after Dongchang Guanyin and Nanyang Bank!

With one hand in real estate and one hand in finance, Zhu Tianwang is about to become the God of Wealth, and now he is still worried that his sons will starve to death... What a father's love is boundless!

Zhu Tianwang is a good father. Of course Zhu and Qi should be good brothers. He immediately patted his chest and said, "All arrange to go to the New World! Dad, don't worry, I, the elder brother, will definitely make good arrangements for the younger brothers. They seal it to a good place with gold mines."

Zhu Tianwang smiled and waved his hands and said: "Forget about the gold mine, this good thing can't be taken by our family... The coastline of three thousand miles, there should be many places where ports can be built. A few Heavenly King Cities, and then the Penglai Bank will also drive there."

Zhu Tianwang is getting more and more good at doing business!

No matter how good the business of digging gold is, it is not as good as building cities and opening banks on the west coast of the New World!

The gold dug up by others must either be remitted back to the mainland of Daming through the bank, or purchased in the cities of the New World... Isn't this the business of Zhu Tianwang?

Zhu Tianwang paused, and then said to his son: "Azai, I am planning to go to Nagoya Tianwang City to sit in person for my father... With Nagoya Tianwang City supporting the logistics of the new continent, the speed of opening up the new continent must be accelerated several times!"

"Okay!" Zhu Heqi nodded heavily, "With my father sitting in Nagoya, the logistics of opening up the new continent will definitely be safe! When I turn around, I will send Anu to Beijing to sit in Shunyi Palace and try my best to mobilize all Mongolian immigrants and cattle, sheep and horses." !"

At this moment, Zheng Jing patted his chest and said: "My lord, our Nanyang Trading Company can help us with the transportation of immigrants, horses, cattle and sheep. I will order people to prepare fifty, no, one hundred large ships to go to the New World. route!"

Zhu Heqi smiled and nodded and said: "King Yanping, both your father and son have made great contributions to the country. This wave of overseas development should also have your family's share... Champa Kingdom and Kowloon south of Champa Although the land of Jiang has a lord, but its lord is incompetent and immoral, unable to defend the country, why not call it Yanping country!"

As soon as Zheng Jing heard this, without further ado, he knelt down to Zhu and Qi, with a tearful expression of gratitude on his face: "Your Majesty's great kindness, my minister Zheng Jing will never forget it!

Your Majesty, since my Yanping kingdom has acquired the lands of Champa and Jiulongjiang to establish a nation, then my Yanping palace's lands in Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Taiwan should be returned immediately..."

Zhu Heqi just laughed loudly, then stretched out two palms and gestured, "Ten years... I will give you Yanping Palace for ten years. After the ten years expire, the imperial court will take back the books of the three houses. When the time comes, you, Zheng Jing, will be yours." The king of Yanping!"

Zheng Jing heaved a sigh of relief, he thought that Zhu Heqi would cut down his feudal clan immediately, but he didn't expect to give him a ten-year buffer. It seems that the favor of the Zheng family is still there.

So Zheng Jing kowtowed to Zhu Heqi again: "I thank the Lord for your kindness!"

Seeing Zheng Jing thanking him, Zhu Heqi bent down, smiled and helped up his confidant who was ten years older than himself, and said to him with a smile: "King Yanping, you don't have to go To open up the wild land of Jiulongjiang, just let the people below do it. You can enjoy the blessings in Nanjing... Between us, the monarchs and ministers, we can often get together." While talking, he lowered his voice and asked: "I heard that Nanyang The company recently entered from the Crimean Khanate, did they invite a group of dancers from the Western Regions?"

Zheng Jing said with a smile: "I really can't hide it from the Holy Majesty...Nanyang Company has indeed hired a group of dancers from the Crimean Khanate. Haha, there are a few golden-haired girls among them, especially graceful!"

Zhu Hexi patted Zheng Jing on the shoulder, telling him to stop talking, and then said to the ministers present: "The opportunity to go to the New World to dig gold is available to everyone who is a Marquis or above. You all have to go back and make a careful calculation." , That's all for today. King Yanping, please stay, I want to learn about the customs and customs of the Crimean Khanate with me!"

Chapter 806 Daqing was buried alive, be careful, Ama!

Western Qing Dynasty, Shangjing City.

The Qitian Mansion in Shangjing in the Western Qing Dynasty was the original Tashkent area.Tashkent was originally the capital of the Kazakh Khanate. Although it is the capital, the Kazakh Khanate is just a loose nomadic country with a total population of less than 100 million. It is not even a country, just a tribal alliance with a country name.Of course, their capital will not be very prosperous. The population of the entire capital is only [-] to [-]. Inside the thin city walls, there are only some low, gray buildings. Even the former Kazakh Khan's palace is just like a landlord. The compound is almost the same.

However, more than a dozen or 20 Confucian Eight Banners from the Central Plains turned this small city that could not even get a name in Central Asia into a large construction site that has been continuously started for several years!

The original Tashkent city was only so big, but it could not accommodate so many tourists from China.Therefore, the plan to build a new city had already been implemented before Kangxi Khan conquered India.

Shangjing New City is a boxy Chinese-style city. A moat with a width of twenty steps was excavated outside the city wall, and a sheep and horse wall was built to defend the city wall.Inside the city walls, eight squares and one palace were built.The eight squares are respectively used to house the eight banners of the Confucian Eight Banners, one banner and one square.Correspondingly, there are eight city gates, one square and one city gate.Surrounded by eight squares are the Imperial City of Shangjing and the two cities of East and West.The Shangjing Imperial City and the East and West Second City were built on the basis of the original Tashkent City, which could only accommodate 3 people.

The imperial city of Shangjing is in the middle, and the east and west cities are on the left and right sides of the imperial city.

After nearly three years of construction, the outer trenches, sheep and horse walls, city outlines, inner eight squares, and Miyagi of Shangjing New City have finally been repaired bit by bit, and the East and West cities have also been erected.The houses in Bafang were also built.There are less than 20 Confucian disciples and their dependents who migrated thousands of miles from the Central Plains with Tongzhi Emperor Yinreng and Kong Shenggong. They have taken root here in the Western Regions and settled down.

Of course, this new city of Shangjing built by Confucian disciples bit by bit is incomparable with Beijing, the original capital of the Qing Dynasty, not even Shengjing outside the pass.But they finally had a home... and it was the first time since the fall of the Tang Dynasty that the Han people owned a castle that could stand proudly in the Western Regions, a land "since ancient times".

This castle is not to be underestimated!

Few of the Confucian disciples who followed Yinfeng and Kong Shenggong to the upper capital of the Western Regions were serious scholars, and most of them were the more capable children of the Central Plains township sages. They had to go with Kong Shenggong because they were afraid of being liquidated by the Ming Dynasty. Run away.And the process of this westward migration, there must be some survival of the fittest... Although there were no big battles on the way westward, it was by no means a smooth journey.

Among other things, it is not so easy to obtain supplies from the oases and cities of the Yeerqiang Khanate... They have been "gauding" along the way, and at the same time eliminated a large number of weak people!

And when they arrived in Shangjing, they had to fight the cities controlled by Tianfang Sect in the Western Qing Khanate—most of these cities were located in the fertile Fergana Basin. It is extremely rich, with developed agriculture and a large population. The 20 million "nationals" of the Western Qing Khanate, as well as the 30 million people of the Mongolian Eight Banners and Qing Eight Banners under Kangxi Khan, all depended on Fergana. Basin is resolved.

However, Kangxi Khan’s door to the Eight Banners was not open to the farmers and citizens in the Fergana Basin—the recruits in the Eight Banners were actually nomadic Kazakhs and Uzbeks. The ruling nation responsible for killing people.

Those farmers and citizens who are responsible for paying grain and paying taxes are not the targets of Kangxi's wooing... Feudal rule, there must be someone to be oppressed, otherwise what will the feudal ruling class eat on the neck of the working people?And of course the oppressed must resist!What's more, there is a conflict of belief between the ruler and the ruled.

So in the two or three years after the founding of the Western Qing Dynasty, the Confucian Eight Banners Army of the Western Qing Dynasty was not idle. In addition to building the capital city, they also frequently attacked in all directions, especially in the Fergana Basin!

During this period, although they received support from Horqin Mongolian cavalry nomadic in the Kazakh grasslands, the most difficult city attack was fought by the Confucian Eight Banners themselves!

In the past two or three years, almost all cities in the Fergana Basin have been broken!

In the interval between city building and siege, the Confucian Eight Banners still occupied and built more than 100 fortress-style manors in the oases and river valleys around Shangjingfu City, which can be regarded as firmly controlling the area around Shangjingfu City.

These things are not easy to say, but even more difficult to accomplish!Even with the support of Horqin's cavalry, and the Indian silver rupees sent by Kangxi later, it was still a field for the 20 Confucian Eight Banners.

Up to now, even if the martial arts of these Confucian Eight Banners were not enough before, they have been added to the brim now. Their combat effectiveness is not weaker than that of Meng Eight Banners and Qing Eight Banners!

However, these Confucian Eight Banners warriors who have already developed a lot of martial virtues have become worried during this period of time.

Because the empress dowager who can shelter them from the wind and rain, who can ask for a lot of silver rupees from Kangxi who is hard to distinguish the authenticity with a single sentence, and who can easily invite the Horqin cavalry on the Kazakh grassland to help them punch, It's time to run out of fuel.

Inside the Compassionate Ning Palace in the Imperial City of Shangjing, there is already a panic.

Bumbutai was already very old, and because of the fall of the former Qing Dynasty and the subsequent migration of thousands of miles, he suffered a lot and suffered a great psychological blow.The reason why he can survive until now is all because he is reluctant to drag his great-grandson Tongzhi Emperor Yinreng with his own hands.

She also knew that her great-grandson was far behind him, Ama Kangxi.The brain is a bit stupid, the work is rougher, and it is impulsive and irritable.What's more troublesome is that Yinfeng was also an emperor!

And in the eyes of many people, he is still the emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

Now that she is protecting her, it's not a big problem.But once she's gone... Yinfeng and his Ama Kangxi are going to have a fight.

So Bumbutai has been working hard to take care of his body and mind, and he wants to live a few more years so that he can protect Yinreng from the wind and rain.

But her body is still due... Three days ago, Aunt Su Ma secretly told her that Kong Shenggong sent someone to Kaitianfu in Beijing ten days ago, and asked Kangxi Khan to come and see the Empress Dowager for the last time !

Bumbutai knew that the imperial physicians around him had a good relationship with Kong Shenggong, the regent.

Kong Shenggong should know something...

But Bumbutai is at this age, and has experienced so many things, he is no longer afraid of death.

She was just worried about her great-grandson Yinfeng.

Candles were already lit to calm the nerves in the room. The fat Bumbutai was lying on the bed, staring at the beam with his eyes open, not saying a word or moving, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

Aunt Su Ma waited for a few confidantes who served the Empress Dowager, came in and out of the house, looked at the old lady, and hurried out to order Kong Shenggong to send someone to urge Kangxi Khan who was still on the way.

But this Kangxi Khan didn't know what was going on, he came very slowly...

Yinreng, who is only 14 years old this year, has been staying by Bumbutai's side, quietly watching this great-grandmother who has hurt him for more than ten years.

There was a sudden noise outside the door, Bumbutai also slowly turned his head, and asked in a low voice, "Is he here?"

Does Yinfeng know who that "he" is?So he asked outside the door: "Where is my Empress?"

"Just, just arrived at the Syr Darya..."

Aunt Su Ma's voice came from outside the door.

"Auntie, send someone to urge you!" Yinfeng was a little anxious.

But Bumbutai smiled wryly: "No need...he won't come!"

"Great-grandmother, what did you say?" Yinreng looked at Bumbutai, "I am your grandson!"

Bumbutai sighed, and continued to smile wryly: "He won't come, and he has no face to come again...Although he has done a good job in the past two years, he lost the Qing Dynasty after all! He is coming, I We have to let him restore the Great Qing Dynasty!"

Restoring the Qing Dynasty was Bumbutai's obsession in his later years... The Qing Dynasty was established by her two men who spent their entire lives, and she herself was also worried about the Qing Dynasty, but it turned out that the Qing Dynasty was gone!

So whenever the old lady saw Kangxi in the past two years, she told him about restoring the Qing Dynasty, which made Kangxi very embarrassed.

Because Kangxi is now using the Mongolian legal system, and the Mongols are also the pillars of Kangxi's force, and the number is very large...Moreover, Zhu Heqi also competed with Kangxi for the Mongols by wooing Burni, Cewang Arabutan and Anu .

And Kangxi's advantage is the legal system of the Great Mongol Kingdom formed by holding the Kuritai Conference three times!
