The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 378 Intimidating Daning

East Hall.

There are large glass windows on both sides, with heavy velvet curtains drawn, and dragon stone carvings are carved on the stone pillars in the hall.

Carpet is laid on the ground, mattresses are placed on the square solid wood wide chairs, and there is a small tea table between each solid wood wide chairs.

Left chief Shi Gecheng, right chief Shi Jinzhong, capital secretary Chen Heng, inspector general Si Molin, military-industrial joint office Ma Wangxuan, China Heavy Industries Zhou Shifeng...

Those present were all trusted senior civil and military officials of the palace, and even Yu Fengchen, who had the highest seniority in the palace, did not attend the meeting.

Because the person is not faithful enough.

The ground was very flat, Zhu Gaochi sat in the front direction, and the others sat in turn, forming a large square.

"The palace has no retreat."

"Father went to Yingtian Mansion for four full months. I heard that Yao Guangxiao was imprisoned for four months. It can be seen that father is in trouble in Yingtian Mansion."

Since the 29th year of Hongwu, Zhu Gaochi has gradually thrown out various probing topics, and by the beginning of this spring, he no longer hides his intentions.

"It has been four months since the prince was summoned to Yingtian Mansion, so far there is no conclusion, and we don't know the will of the saint." Jin Zhong followed Zhu Gaochi's words.

Some things Zhu Gaochi said by himself are not as effective as the words of the people below.

Just like Ye Xixian's mutiny.

The palace asked the soldiers below to mutiny, and the soldiers took the initiative to mutiny, although both are under the control of the palace, but the meaning is different.

It's like wearing a helmet.

People ask to wear helmets themselves, and the higher authorities issue regulations based on demand, and the higher authorities directly issue regulations requiring ordinary people to wear helmets.

So what was supposed to be a great thing will cause different public opinion.

The difference between getting twice the result with half the effort and getting twice the result with half the effort.

After Jin Zhong finished speaking, Chen Heng said: "At this moment, what the little prince can do is to develop Beiping better, and the unity of all walks of life is the greatest support for the prince's dilemma in Yingtian Mansion."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another and formed a unified thought.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help sighing in his heart when he heard everyone's statements.

There is really no way out.

The 300-year Little Ice Age was the worst on record.

During the 300-year Little Ice Age from the late Yuan and early Ming to the late Ming and early Qing, people often overlook how powerful this is.

From the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties to the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty was the first Little Ice Age.

The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, and the Western Jin Dynasty were the second Little Ice Age.

The end of the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, and the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty were the third Little Ice Age.

The Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty were the fourth Little Ice Age.

In the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, snow disasters occurred in Hainan Island, and the local government officials froze to death countless people and livestock.

During the Little Ice Age, no agricultural country could survive it, and no reform could solve it.

Half of the population in northern Europe died of starvation.

The Ming Dynasty at the same time was different.

It is impossible for half of the population to starve to death without rebelling, and if one percent of the population cannot survive, Daming will be overthrown in the end.

The Han people have long been full of the spirit of resistance, and have eliminated the aristocratic fiefdom system very early, increasing the mobility of the people and possessing the foundation for resistance.

Refugees who are hungry will not wait to die obediently, let alone who the emperor is, they are willing to tear the emperor off his horse.

The refugee army destroyed the political center of the Ming Dynasty, because the infighting gave foreigners a chance to conquer the Central Plains.

The last Ming army and the refugee army knew that the world was about to perish.

The two sides put aside their deep hatred and blood hatred, and surrounded each other under the banner of Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that the general situation is over at this time, and the conflicts between the two sides are too deep, and they both bleed to the end.

And during the five years that Zhu Gaochi was there.

Shandong suffered from disasters, Henan suffered from disasters, Shaanxi suffered from disasters, and Peiping also suffered from disasters.

The power of the Little Ice Age has already emerged, and it will become more and more serious in the future.

Earthquakes, severe droughts, severe colds, locust plagues, plagues...

It will be continuous natural disasters on this land for 300 years.

Even if the Ming Dynasty developed industry, only by expanding the population outward can the harm brought about by the Little Ice Age be mitigated.

At the lowest point, the annual average temperature is eight degrees.

This cannot be solved by any method.

Just like the Turpan Basin, the population in the Tang Dynasty, with the disappearance of the appropriate era, did not exceed it even in the modern society of later generations.

Either reduce the population through war, or expand the chances of survival by exporting, or there will be a plague that wipes out a large number of people.

For the future of the nation, many things need to be solved by Zhu Gaochi's generation, and lay the foundation for future generations, and finally survive the Little Ice Age safely, and stand on top of the world.

"Now is the best time."

"The land area is large, but the population is slightly small, there is sufficient room for development, and it has the greatest success conditions for the establishment of an industrialized society."

"If you don't build the foundation now, then 50 years later, 100 years later, land acquisition will inevitably happen."

"The population grows, the land is merged, the per capita falls into poverty, the national power will inevitably decline, and it will fall into the end of the dynasty."

"Only I can guide Beiping to develop the road of industrialization, enhance the overall national strength, expand outward, and expand the living space of the nation."

"Peking's development model should and must be developed unswervingly. No obstacles can cause losses to the development model of Peiping."

The first time everyone heard Zhu Gaochi's remarks, the window paper had been completely torn.

They are qualified to sit here, they have been screened, and no one feels disgusted, but some people are slightly uneasy.

But they also know that Yan Shizi not only has economic talent, but also has the ability to manage the world.

Although the future is full of confusion, the little prince has proved his ability, and Beiping has the confidence to deal with all threats.

These people finally chose the palace, that is, they chose the prince.

And Zhu Gaochi's words gave them the greatest comfort, they were for justice.

"The chief secretary, Yan Dun, may be transferred soon. In order to avoid future troubles, the palace now wants to take over all the rights in Beiping, including the chief secretary."

"Will it cause the saint's dissatisfaction?"

Ge Cheng reminded.

"Whether Grandpa Huang is dissatisfied or not, I don't know, but I believe Grandpa Huang can see the changes in Beiping's development."

"As for what Grandpa Huang thinks, I can't figure it out, and I don't want to guess."

"Because our path is unwavering and we have already had a complete plan."

"The next Beiping will continue to deepen its development, and the four directions of Daning, Liaodong, Shaanxi, and Shanxi will also continue to be deeply controlled."

"King Ning in Daning, King Liao in Liaodong, King Jin in Shanxi, Prince Qin's Mansion in Shaanxi, and General Song of Xingdusi in Shaanxi will all be our next resistance."

"In the next stage, China Heavy Industry will take over the power of Shaanxi and Shanxi Construction and Development Group, and will win over lower-level civil and military officials, as well as military households as the main phalanx, and gain local actual control from bottom to top."

"As for King Ning in Daning and King Liao in Liaodong, you can adopt a tougher attitude, subdue them with strength, and let them be willing to be in charge of the palace."

Following Zhu Gaochi's plans for the future, it seemed that a huge grand cause was unfolding in front of people's eyes, and the people present couldn't help breathing heavily.

……

Northern Parallel Capital Division.

The expansion of Zengwei ended in the 26th year of Hongwu, the year after the death of the prince, and also the year when the expansion of Ming Dynasty slowed down.

at this time.

There are seventeen guards in Daning, one guarding the Thousand Households, and three guards.

The total full strength is 10 people.

Daning is a military area, there are no civilian households in the area, all of them are military households, with a total population of more than [-], half of which rely on self-sufficiency and half rely on supply from the interior.

This also led to the reason why the Beiping Capital was inseparable from the Peking Capital.

The Beijing Parallel Capital Division received an official letter from the Military-Industrial Joint Office.

"It is hereby ordered."

"Below the capital of Beiping, the military officers from thousands of households and hundreds of households in the areas where Zhengding actually served, all entered the Beiping Military Academy to study for three months, so as to unify the quality standards of military officers."

Fang Kuan looked at the seal of the Military-Industrial Joint Office at the bottom of the official letter, feeling a little upset.

It was established less than three years ago, and it was originally a non-governmental organization. I don't know when it has such great power.

He even dared to give orders to the capital's yamen openly.

While Fang Kuan was thinking, someone came to visit. It was Jin Zhong from the Changshi Mansion and the executive director of the Military-Industrial Joint Office.

Since Jin Zhong came in person, no matter how much Fang Kuan had to say, he had nothing to say, and readily agreed to the request of the palace on the spot.

soon.

The Northern Parallel Metropolitan Division issued this official letter.

The official letter has the seal of the Military-Industrial Joint Office and the Beijing Parallel Capital Division, but lacks the seal of King Ning's Mansion.

The young Prince Ning was so angry that he could not speak.

Compared with the lenientness of the fourth brother Zhu Di, the eldest nephew really doesn't take him seriously.

"Too deceiving."

The Beiping Metropolitan Division is not affiliated to the Yanwang Mansion, but belongs to the same level, and the guards in Beiping, except for the three guards of the Yanwang, are regulated and managed by the Peking Metropolitan Division.

In fact, Yan Wangfu controlled all the guards in Beiping, and the generals of the guards also obeyed the orders of the Wangfu.

Then put it in Daning.

King Ning didn't even have complete control over his own guards.

Even the generals of the Daning Guards are more willing to listen to King Yan, which is caused by historical issues and the reason why King Yan has become the commander of the army many times in recent years.

The Northern Parallel Capital Division is the direct superior department of the guards in Daning. When the Northern Parallel Capital Commander gave the order, King Ning was unable to stop it.

King Ning was so angry that he went to the Dusi Yamen to see Fang Kuan, the commander of the capital, but Fang Kuan didn't see him, and claimed that he was not in the Yamen in the name of inspecting the guards.

However, after the official document of the Northern Parallel Capital Division was issued, many military attaches did not resist, and directly followed the requirements of the official document.

This is great.

It shows that King Yan's prestige far exceeds everything in Daning.

Those military officers who were wavering and wanted to continue to wait and see, saw such signs, and did not dare to follow the wave, and more and more military officers went south.

When the news spread that Liu Zhen, the core figure, was going south, all the military officers other than the military attache of the Peiping family went south obediently.

"You are not on the list." King Ning met Liu Zhen in secret.

Liu Zhen shook his head helplessly.

"Yan Wangfu sent someone to personally order the last general to go south."

"This king wants to impeach Prince Yan."

"Ning Wang think twice."

Liu Zhen left a word and went to Peiping without hesitation.
