Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 777 Returning to Beijing (1)

The rising sun dispelled the darkness along the Hun River, and the sound of horseshoes from time to time showed that the Liaozuo area was still under war.

"What do the Qing family think of the direction I pointed out to Li Zicheng?" Emperor Chongzhen walked forward with his hands behind his back, walking on the bank of the Hun River, looking at the Jingguan standing in the distance, and said to Sun Chengzong who was driving him.

"If you have anything to say, the Qing family can just speak up. We don't need to worry about anything between our monarchs and ministers. Speaking of which, the Qing family has been guarding Liaodong for a long time, and their understanding of Liaodong is far beyond that of some people."

"Your Majesty, the minister just spoke bluntly."

Sun Chengzong bowed slightly, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The road shown by your majesty can restore stability in Liaozuo and even Liaodong in a short period of time.

But has your Majesty ever thought that once Li Zicheng's Liaodong rebel army really gained a foothold in Monan, or annexed Jianlu Yu Nian led by Huang Taiji, he would face a new problem.

In order to ensure the stability of Liaodong itself, the country must station a large number of troops in Liaodong.

If such a pattern is really formed, how will the country and dynasty be cut off in Liaodong in the future? After all, the territory under the jurisdiction of Liaodong is not small.

Since ancient times, Liaodong has been a place of bitter cold, and the situation it faces is very complicated. Although thanks to His Majesty's reforms, Liaodong has prospered a number of industries and resettled a large number of groups.

But His Majesty can't relax his vigilance. Once there is a conflict within Liaodong and a new dispute between governors and governors is formed, it will cause many impacts. In addition to internal conflicts, there are also external threats.

Like the Liaohetao area, the Horqin Grassland, the area north of Liaozuo, and even North Korea, if external threats intensify, it will definitely not be a good thing for the country. "

Emperor Chongzhen showed a satisfied smile.

Emperor Chongzhen was gratified that Sun Chengzong could say these words. Although what he said was not good, he considered the issue from the perspective of the state.

First, how Liaodong will deal with itself in the future. If this matter is not resolved, there will be a dispute between the governors and governors, and even the danger of supporting the soldiers again.

Second, the lessons learned from the generals in Liaodong.

Third, the threat of the strategy of raising wolves, if the raised wolves cannot be deterred, may be backlashed one day.

Fourth, Liaodong is different from the past. The territory under Liaodong's jurisdiction is too large, which is a hidden danger for the locality after all.

Fifth, the centralized development of the industrial field and the real power in the hands of one person will inevitably lead to hidden dangers of secession, but if it is shared, it will have other effects.

"Liaodong is the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty. Although it has experienced more than ten years of darkest moments, it is still the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were determined, and he stopped, "However, with the passage of time, there have been many changes around the vast territory of Liaodong.

This is actually a severe challenge for me, Ming, but it is also a rare opportunity.

Recovering the lost land of Liaozuo means that Ming Dynasty resumes effective rule over Liaodong, but this does not mean that Ming Dynasty can sit back and relax. "

Sun Chengzong nodded in approval.

In the name of the governor of Liaodong, Sun Chengzong has guarded Liaodong for these years, deep in his heart, he already has deep feelings for this black land.

Watching Liaodong move towards stability step by step from the turmoil in the past, Sun Chengzong was happy and joyful.

For more than ten years, Jianlu caused disasters in Liaodong, causing too many people to die here, and this place has become a sad place for many people.

"If the issue of Liaodong cannot be properly resolved, it will be regarded as regaining all the lost ground, and it will eventually repeat the same mistakes one day."

Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with emotion: "After all, there are some things, if you can't break the rules, it is impossible to solve practical problems.

This is also the reason why I decided to go on a personal expedition.

One Liaodong cannot solve the problems of Liaodong. This is the attributive I set after counting all kinds of Liaodong.

Liaodong restructuring is imminent.

In the past, the evacuation of the guards and the establishment of the government, and the reform of the Liaodong Army were just the beginning.

I plan to abolish the post of Liaodong Supervisor after the situation in Liaodong stabilizes. At the same time, I plan to divide Liaodong into two provinces, Liaoning and Anton. This is also just the beginning. "

"!!!"

Sun Chengzong looked at Emperor Chongzhen in shock.

What shocked him was not the abolition of the position of Liaodong Supervisor. For Sun Chengzong, he didn't have much pursuit of the position, and he was not an official fan.

What shocked Sun Chengzong was that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to separate Liaodong. Once he did this, it would inevitably cause a great sensation.

After all, this will change the political structure of Ming Dynasty.

In the past, Liaodong was a capital and division system, which was under the rule of Shandong Chengxuan Zhengshisi, and now it is the new Chengxuan Zhengshisi.

"Does the Qing family find it unbelievable?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, looked at the shocked Sun Chengzong, lifted his sleeves and said: "I said, this is also just a beginning.

What I want is not just a Liaodong.

Further restructuring of Liaodong will lay a solid foundation for future raids on Liaohetao, Horqin, north of Andong, North Korea and other places.

If you want to stabilize the Liaodong area, you must firmly control the areas that threaten Liaodong in Daming's hands, so as to solve practical problems.

Similarly, only in this way can we ensure that the reforms will continue to be carried out in the Liaodong area, so that the country can add new fiscal and taxation centers and avoid taxation that is too heavy in a certain area. "

Emperor Chongzhen already knew about the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and Liu Xingzhi, the commander-in-chief of the East China Sea Division, passed it into Liao at the fastest speed.

For this situation, Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised at all.

Why?

The continuous advancement of the reformation will inevitably change the structure of the Ming Dynasty. A Ming Dynasty that is going through the process of industrialization will inevitably make many old forces groups unable to bear the loss of their own interests, and there will be some overreactions.

These are all normal things.

Therefore, the road of reformation must go through the route of military conquest again. If the centralization of power wants to maintain its prestige and deterrence, it must have extremely strong strength.

"Your Majesty, once this matter is spread in the court, I'm afraid it will cause a great shock." Sun Chengzong restrained his mind, pondered for a moment, and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Concussion?"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "I'm afraid the Qing family doesn't know that there have been large-scale rebellions in the southern provinces, right?"

"what?!!"

Sun Chengzong looked at Emperor Chongzhen in disbelief, and couldn't believe it at all.

"Ha ha…"

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and waved his hands and said: "The Qing family doesn't need to be so excited, it's nothing more than the temporary loss of the country's control over the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

I have already expected these things since the banner of the reform was raised.

I am about to leave Liaodong and return to the capital.

However, before returning to the capital, some decisions related to Liaodong must be clarified. I don't want to face the threat of being attacked by the enemy. Does the Qing family understand this? "

Sun Chengzong forced himself to calm down.

At this moment, Sun Chengzong somewhat understood why the emperor divided Liaodong into two, and why he showed such a strong desire to possess Liaohetao, Horqin and other places.

This is all to reshape the political framework of Ming Dynasty.

In the past, Daming always tended to pay taxes in the south of the Yangtze River. If there was a problem in the south of the Yangtze River, it would pose a serious threat to Daming.

The country will not be stable at all.

This is actually a bad thing.

"Let's not talk about the Jiangnan rebellion, let's talk about the future of Liaodong."

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the sleeves of his robe and continued to walk forward. Sun Chengzong hurriedly lifted up his robe to keep up, "Presumably the Qing family also knows that the Armed Forces Academy has developed the first-generation steam engine before.

This is Daming's future.

This is Daming's hope.

If Daming can continue to improve the steam engine, develop a steam engine as the driving force, and change the original transportation structure, then it can change a lot.

In the future, Liaodong will use a large number of steam engines to enhance the development of the industrial field. Faced with such a strong development, a Liaodong is not good. If it really develops, there will be a dilemma similar to Jiangnan. "

"Your Majesty, can I ask you a little bit?"

Sun Chengzong thought for a while, looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty plans to set up a few special provinces to stabilize the overall situation in the Liaodong region? Is that part of North Korea also under the rule of Ming Dynasty?"

"At least five provinces!"

Emperor Chongzhen said with firm eyes: "In addition to the existing two provinces of Liaodong, I plan to set up a province in the Liaohetao area, a province in the north of Andong, and a province in North Korea.

However, it will take at least 20 years to realize this strategic vision step by step.

After all, other forces will not be willing to acquire these territories if Ming Dynasty wants to acquire them. Therefore, Liaoning and Anton provinces will bear a heavy burden if they want to conquer the above-mentioned regions in the future and realize my strategic vision.

To fight is to die.

War costs money.

There are still a lot of things to do in the future. I don’t have so much money and food, and I will use it to implement this strategic plan. Therefore, the future development of Liaoning and Anton provinces will be directly related to this strategic plan. . "

Sun Chengzong understood.

Under the future structure of the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong occupies an extremely important position. Even when the Liaodong region really develops, it will not lose to the Jiangnan region.

This will become the base camp of the reformation.

A core that no one can shake.

After all, after successive wars, the original order of Liaodong has long been destroyed. For Emperor Chongzhen and for the country, it is too good to be a good thing.

"What does His Majesty need the minister to do?"

Sun Chengzong, who understood this, bowed to Emperor Chongzhen with a serious expression.

"What the Qing family has to do is very simple."

Emperor Chongzhen stopped and looked at the Jingguan standing in front of him, "After I return to the capital, defend Liaodong for me and complete the overall defense system of Liaodong.

Implement the division of Liaoning and Anton.

One year should be able to do the above things well.

When the Qing family has done these things well, then go to Beijing to become an official. I need the Qing family to help me share my worries. Daming needs a real change. "
