The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 588 Zhu Hongyu's Response

The preparations for the enthronement ceremony include the sacrifices required for the ceremony, preparations for the military parade ceremony, the construction of the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth, and the re-sacrifice of the Xiaoling Mausoleum...

They have already made corresponding plans, as long as Zhu Hongyu approves it.

However, Daming's governance of the local area, such as clearing Zhang Tianmu, checking Dingkou, etc., did not go so smoothly.

Zhu Hongyu could clearly sense that someone was lying to him.

Someone is delaying the implementation of the Ming policy!

Although there is no real evidence, but things cannot be done, but it cannot be faked.

"What's going on with local government affairs?"

"Who are these people who are hindering the implementation of my Ming policy?!"

Zhu Hongyu asked with a dark face.

Zhang Huangyan stood up and said.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Tianmu and Dingkou are the biggest bad debts in the world, and countless people are involved in it."

"If Your Highness wants to investigate Dingkou and Zhang Zhang's fields, only force can be used to carry it out!"

Zhang Huangyan had a very clear understanding of the landlords and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. To put it bluntly, they were a group of bullying people.

If Zhu Hongyu made any concessions, they would only gain an inch.

But if Zhu Hongyu becomes strong, they can only cooperate obediently.

How many people dare to use their own necks to bet that Zhu Hongyu's knife is not sharp enough?
Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, nodded and said.

"The order!"

"Order the local government to immediately start the investigation of Dingkou and Qingzhang Tianmu's related work!"

"Local officials will be dismissed if there is delay, and they will never be reappointed!"

"My Ming Dynasty has never lacked people who want to wear official hats!"

"If a large local gentry obstructs the implementation of my Ming Dynasty's decree and confiscates the family and punishes it, within three generations, the descendants of the family will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination!"

This order can be said to be the toughest Zhu Hongyu has ever dealt with local officials and big gentry households since the Northern Expedition began.

If you can't do it, don't do it!

If you don't cooperate with me, the descendants of your family will not even think about being an official in the imperial examination!
Now it is only within three generations that the descendants are not allowed to take the imperial examination to be an official!
If you are in a hurry for me, it is not impossible for five generations and ten generations!

If Zhu Hongyu was pushed into a hurry, it would not be impossible for him to grit his teeth and let the place be directly controlled by the military.

Zhang Huangyan and Wang Ruxian embraced the order after hearing the words.

"Your Highness is wise, and the minister waits to obey the order!"

Zhu Hongyu added.

"The preparations for the imperial examination should be accelerated, and when there is a vacancy in the local area, it will be filled by the new imperial examination."

Daming is about to start the imperial examination, Zhu Hongyu is really not afraid that no one will become an official.

Zhu Hongyu attaches great importance to the investigation of Dingkou and Zhang Zhang's fields.

Because, many of his local governance policies can only be carried out after Dingkou is checked and Zhang Tianmu is cleared, and Daming can control the local area.

Wang Ruxian and Zhang Huangyan, whose eyes were in front of him, glanced around.

Then, Zhu Hongyu spoke out a few policies that he had been planning for a long time, and planned to ask them to help with his advice.

"Gu intends to abolish the household registration restrictions set by Emperor Taizu, abolish military households, artisan households, happy households, salt households, and humble households, so that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and people are equal, and from now on, all my Ming people will be registered uniformly. For the people!"...

"Do the two gentlemen think it's feasible?"

In Zhu Hongyu's view, Zhu Yuanzhang's practice of dividing people's occupations by their registries is really sick.

Did Lao Zhu really think that the future of the Ming Dynasty could be passed on for tens of thousands of years?
Nonsense isn't it!
Rebellion is still rebellion!

Lao Zhu’s household registration system,
There is no other effect than the restraint of human nature.

There are many aspects that Zhu Hongyu wants to reform, and household registration reform is only the first step.

But it is also the most important step!
Only when the household registration is straightened out can the next reforms be carried out smoothly.

Zhang Huangyan and Wang Ruxian looked at each other, and they clasped their fists again and said.

"His Highness Shengming!"

Zhu Hongyu just nodded and said.

"The cabinet will take a look at the lonely policy and prepare to issue it in the form of an imperial decree!"

"After Gu ascends the throne, he will officially spread it to the world!"

The two agreed.

At this moment, Zhou Tianxu ordered someone to pass the message outside to ask for an interview.

Zhu Hongyu readily agreed.

Not long after, Zhou Tianxu came in from the outside and saluted Zhu Hongyu.

"The final general has seen His Highness!"

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, and asked.

"You came to see Gu, what's the matter?"

Zhou Tianxu clasped his fists and said.

"Your Highness, it's the news from the north that the Qing court and Wu Sangui have already met in Tongguan!"

"..."

……

Tongguan!

As an important route in and out of Guanzhong, Tongguan has had a great reputation throughout the ages.

Even in the late Ming Dynasty, Tongguan had great strategic value.

Back then, Li Zicheng was near Tongguan, defeating Sun Chuanting who came from the east of Tongguan, and annihilated the last elite of the Ming Dynasty who had the power to fight in the field.

Then, Li Zicheng never encountered any decent resistance during his eastward march.

Tongguan is the gateway to Guanzhong, and if the Qing army wants to enter Guanzhong, Tongguan cannot be bypassed anyway.

It is also impossible for Wu Sangui to leave Tongguan alone and let the Qing army drive straight into Guanzhong.

Therefore, the Tongguan war between the Qing court and Wu Sangui broke out logically!
Aobai stood outside Tongguan, looking at the huge pass city standing between heaven and earth, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Behind him was a large mass of Qing army soldiers and horses.

There are flags and flags standing tall, and at a glance, there are people and horses connecting the sky, and there is no limit at all.

There are eight banners, green camps, swords and guns like forests, and armor like rain.

In the Qing army outside Tongguan City, the ratio of infantry to cavalry reached an astonishing three to one.

In other words, in the Qing army at this time, the proportion of cavalry reached an astonishing quarter.

One out of every four Qing troops was a cavalryman!

And beside Oboi, all of them were Eight Banners Chongbu wearing cotton armor.

The cotton armors of various colors gathered together to form a large wave.

……

At the same time, on the wall of Tongguan!
Wu Sangui was also looking at the battlefield.

Looking at the big flag representing Oboi's identity, his calf subconsciously clenched.

"How big is the invading bandit army?"

Wu Sangui asked Wu Guogui beside him.

Wu Guogui said.

"Reporting to the emperor, according to statistics, the number of troops who invaded the Qing Dynasty this time is about 5."

"Among them, there are nearly ten thousand Eight Banners soldiers!"

These 5 people almost brought together all the soldiers of the Qing court in Henan and Shanxi provinces, and even the local garrison troops were all withdrawn.

No matter who is elite or not, as long as he is a soldier and can carry a knife, he will be recruited by my Qing Dynasty.

When Wu Sangui heard the words, his pupils shrank.

He was selectively deaf, and only heard the key words of the four characters nearly ten thousand eight banners.
