my days with tyrants

Her Royal Highness the ruling princess returned to the capital and immediately began to adjust the administrative districts across the country.

To put it simply, it means adding a chief envoy.

Huguang was divided into two, Hunan and Hubei, Shaanxi was divided into two, Shaanxi and Gansu, then Guizhou became the Chief Envoy Division, Liaodong became Liaoning, all the guard posts in the Chief Envoy Division were abolished and the public land law was implemented.

Including Annan.

Of course, it was replaced by a militia reserve system.

To be precise, all the population of the Chief Envoys were militarized, not just military households.

All adult males are in reserve service.

All counties have reserve militia.

They also have arsenals.

Civilian weapons are no longer restricted...

Of course, it still doesn't work with cannons, at least not on land.

It is still possible to install cannons on merchant ships, but it is a bit exaggerated to install cannons in villages on land. You can have muskets, but not cannons, but you can have grenades. The main reason is that this cannot be banned. After all, various civilian constructions require a lot of gunpowder, so it is possible to ban grenades. , but the power of the small grenade seems not as good as the gunpowder pack used for blasting.

Unless gunpowder is banned.

But gunpowder is an indispensable thing for current civil construction.

Mining, construction of roads, and blasting of water conservancy facilities in various places all rely on this. Even Ambassador Yang's digging of the Yellow River cannot do without this. Besides, with the management ability at this time, it is actually impossible to stop it. Manufacturing technology has long been rampant. Gunpowder does not require any real industrialization.

Later in the Qing Dynasty, we did not even prepare gunpowder for the Eight Banners athletes, but gave them money to make their own.

So just don’t ban it.

Similarly, guns are not banned, so there is no need to ban armor.

At this point, the last seal in Zhu Yuanzhang's armor and weapon restrictions has been torn apart.

The civilian population is fully armed.

Then push them outward.

The chief minister made it possible to convert government land into public land, and the capital command made it into private land. Restrictions on private migration were lifted. The road guide system was abolished but replaced by an ID card system. The production of ID cards was handled by local banks, and all adult registered households were required to receive their own ID cards. ID card.Of course, in fact, this project is too huge, so it is basically unlikely, but you must have an ID card when going out, so those who need to go out must still get it, and it won’t cost much anyway.Moreover, these local banks can make these ID cards. The various vouchers they issue to depositors are made of special paper and ink. They are all made by factories in Beijing. Outsiders are not yet able to counterfeit them, so those who need ID cards are responsible for the payment. Make one, and then move freely in Ming Dynasty with the ID card.

It is equivalent to the national general road guide.

but……

This is still a right of citizenship.

Because only the households in the Chief Envoy Department and the military households in the garrison of the Commanding Envoy Department have this.

Others don't.

Without this, there is no right of free movement. To put it simply, those chieftains and people belonging to Jiduwei leave their place of residence. If there are no other legal documents approved by the court, they are not protected by the law.

If you are killed, robbed, sold, or robbed, you must consider yourself unlucky.

If you have citizenship, you can move freely, you can command the capital to open up wasteland and become a landlord, and you can do business and mine in various places. If you don't have citizenship, you can only live in your own place of residence as a subject.

Very reasonable.

Even this was at the request of the chieftains and commanders.

Because they found that after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, the flight of their subjects became more and more serious. After all, there was no strict identity management, and it was easy for the merchants who went to them to quietly take away a few people.This is also inevitable. In the early Qing Dynasty, because the Qing Dynasty reduced Sichuan so seriously, it was about to become a no-man's land. As a result, people who later migrated from Huguang were short of labor. For a time, the population trade between Sichuan and Guizhou flourished.To put it simply, the profiteers colluded with the unruly people under the chieftain's rule. The latter was responsible for plundering slaves and hoarding them. They put them in shackles and found a cave to stuff them into. When the time came, a team of profiteers took them away and trafficked them to Sichuan.And now the profiteers who go to the chieftains and Jisi guards are not good birds. The chieftains' subjects cannot be exploited, and the profiteers like to sell and make money, which eventually leads to the loss of these subjects. And for the chieftains and those Jisi commanders, of course not I hope that my subjects will be lost.

This is the biggest resource in their hands.

They also want to sell it themselves.

They have all been abducted and trafficked by profiteers, what do they sell themselves?
Therefore, Her Royal Highness the Ruling Princess fulfilled their wish and established this ID card system.

This system truly distinguishes the difference between citizenship and subject status. The former can freely go anywhere, even to distant Ottomans, and do business, open farms, mines and factories, but the latter is still restricted.The ID card gives them maximum protection. If any citizen is harmed in these places, it is better not to be discovered. Once discovered, even the local lord will be punished, and at least he will have to pay huge compensation.

On the contrary, they broke the law locally, and these chieftains or prison commanders had no law enforcement power.

They only have the power to enforce laws against their own subjects.

As for these citizens holding ID cards, only the Chief Envoy has the right to punish them. Even the Anxi Chief Envoy is actually a civil official sent by the imperial court and has the power to enforce the law against them. The Chief Envoy also has no right to enforce the law against them. .

In the end, Yang Feng unlocked all restrictions for the Ming people to expand outward.

There is weaponization.

There is a legal guarantee.

Extraterritoriality is available.

There are even various subsidies from the court.

The rest has nothing to do with him. Those who are bold and want to make a fortune will go abroad, those who are timid and want to live an honest life, those who are satisfied with food and clothing will stay in their hometowns with the fields assigned to them, and those who want to live in urbanization can After entering the factory, those who want to live a pastoral life live in the countryside.

At the same time, there is also military reform. After the abolition of guard posts, 50 people will be retained on active duty.

This number is enough.

In fact, 50 yuan is completely redundant. Yang Feng originally wanted 30 yuan. An army of 30 people lined up to be shot and killed is the most powerful force in the world.

But it won’t be possible in a short time.

The first step is still 50.

But the military households of the Du Command and Envoys Division are not among them. Although they also belong to the regular army, they are in another system. Those under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court are equivalent to the forbidden army, while those under the Du Command and Envoy Division are equivalent to the Jiedu Envoy Army, and they are also recruited soldiers under the military pay system. , except that it was not the commander who paid the envoys, but the imperial court.Then these guard posts also had their own land and their own industry and commerce. In fact, they were more like armed reclamation regiments. The guard posts in the Ming Dynasty were originally armed reclamation regiments.

While Yang Feng and the little princess were launching long-awaited reforms in the capital, Zhu Di, after a year's rest and with his soul of the emperor burning, finally began his third Western Expedition.

The time with Yang Feng was the first time.

It was the second time to sweep away the Golden Horde.

Now is the third time.

This time the target is of course Constantinople.

Beiping Prefecture.

Zhu Di looked at the huge army assembled in front of him with satisfaction.

Ten thousand King Yan guards.

Ten thousand Anxi troops.

Ten thousand Beiting troops.

These are all camel-style cavalry.

Therefore, on average, one soldier has one war horse and two camels. A [-]-strong army is nearly [-] war horses and camels, not counting the cattle and sheep used as food. Although Camel City has a strong supply capacity, at least when possible , still need to carry a large number of cattle and sheep, after all, the Western Region is still vast and sparsely populated.

Cattle and sheep are not slow.

If the cavalry is not marching in a hurry and moving forty or fifty miles a day in a nomadic migration style, the cattle and sheep can completely keep up.

Of course, this was only a small part of his Western Expedition army.

He controls the Western Regions as King Yan and has the power to recruit all the commanders, envoys, and vassal states in the Western Regions. Therefore, the commanders, commanders, envoys, and vassal kings from the Eastern European steppes to the Mesopotamia plains, from the Ural Mountains to the Pamirs must all obey him. military orders.And now military orders have been sent to major cities in the Western Regions, so from Siberia to the banks of the Euphrates River, those Ming ministers must obey his military orders and send their own troops to join them.

This of course also includes Osman.

Final strength...

"There should be 50."

Zhu Neng said next to him.

"An army of 50 people attacks a city. Your Majesty thinks highly of them."

Qiu Fu said with a smile.

"That's not a city."

Zhu Di said slowly.

Indeed, it is not as simple as a city.

Because according to his intelligence, the Roman emperor had already formed an alliance with the Ottomans in the Balkans, and not only them, but the Serbs who fled back, and even the Bulgarians had also formed an alliance.In addition, because of the losses of Venice and Genoa in the Black Sea, they were also lobbying the Holy See to launch a new Crusade, but this time it was not to attack Jerusalem, but to defend Constantinople.This time is different from the original Ottoman attack on Constantinople in history. One year is enough time for European monarchs to understand what is happening in the East. They know that a powerful monarch in the East has completed the same thing as the Mongols. In order to conquer the entire east, even the Khans of the Golden Horde have surrendered to it.

And his next goal is Constantinople.

Once Constantinople was captured, the door to Europe would be open to him.

and so……

So there is a high probability of success.

The point is that both Venice and Genoa suffered heavy losses due to statehood and the forts across the Bosporus.

Moreover, Tokhtamysh has also won successive victories in Eastern Europe. The Lithuanians have also been retreating steadily, and have even asked Poland for help, and Poland already belongs to the Catholic world. Similarly, Tokhtamysh's expansion has also approached Hungary's sphere of influence. It can be said that the Catholic world I have truly fully felt the pressure of Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Zheng He sent this urgently."

Zhang Fu walked to Zhu Di and handed him an urgent report.

Zhu Di took it and opened it.

"Zheng He's fleet has set sail, and he expects to reach the Ottomans within a year."

He said.

"How could he get there? There's land in the middle."

Qiu Fu said in astonishment.

"He plans to go around from the west. If he succeeds, he will join us. If he fails, he will be loyal. Since he is so loyal, I cannot betray him. I will order all the troops to set off. We will wait for him in Ottoman."

Zhu Di said.

Then he urged the horse.
