The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 386
Beiping, Kaiping, Daning.

In the 30 years of Hongwu, the total number of people in the three places was nearly 400 million. The population growth rate was very fast, but the local villages did not change.

in contrast.

In some areas, the rural population did not increase but decreased, especially in Weisuo, where a large number of people moved into the cities.

A middle-aged man in an ordinary gown, accompanied by two followers, seemed to be an ordinary businessman.

Get off the train at the railway station in Hejian Fujing County. This platform is not big, but it is the terminal.

Several people hurried south.

In the evening, they arrived at Ling County and entered the territory of Shandong.

At the moment of entering the city.

The middle-aged man couldn't help but look back, as if he wanted to take another look at Peiping.

"Master, why did you flee from Peiping?"

The entourage recruited from his hometown finally couldn't help asking.

The middle-aged man couldn't help touching the hard object in his bosom, and said desolately: "I read the books of sages and sages, and I have been an official for thousands of miles only for the people."

"Master is a good official." The hometown people affirmed.

"But my ability is limited." The middle-aged man sighed.

The Prince of Peking is essentially rebelling, all he needs to do is shout out. Faced with this situation, the middle-aged man doesn't know what to do.

"The master's transfer order is about to come down, and the little prince has no intention of restricting the master, why not wait for the day when the transfer order comes down."

The middle-aged man shook his head.

The little prince wants to rebel.

The news he guessed, the method used by the young prince to take over Daning, has been confirmed without a doubt, but he has not told the people in his hometown, nor has he disclosed it to anyone else.

But with emotion and reason.

He could not accept that someone rebelled and seized power.

Today the young prince has strong soldiers and horses, if he rebels and seizes the world, then in the future when others have strong soldiers and horses, he can also rebel and seize the world.

The world is broken.

This is not in line with the way of a saint.

regime.

It is the foundation of the country and the blessing of the people not to live with the strong soldiers and horses, but to order.

but.

The road of industrial development led by the little prince is seen by the middle-aged people again, and it is really a road that is beneficial to the country and the people.

Such contradictions make the middle-aged people suffer.

He could neither accept Yan Shizi's rebellion against the world with soldiers and horses, but also accept Yan Shizi's industrial development path.

This irreconcilable contradiction made him not know how to choose, and finally decided to hide from the world.

escape.

He handed over the official seal to the magistrate of Ling County, and the magistrate was shocked.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a fool."

The middle-aged man smiled lonely and went out by himself.

The county magistrate looked at the official seal of the chief secretary of Beiping in his hand, his eyes were complicated and bewildered, and he let the person in front of him leave.

But there was an accident.

"Excuse me, is it Yan Fantai?"

Several strong men stopped the middle-aged man at the Water Transport Wharf.

"You are?"

Yan Dun's heart sank.

Could it be Peiping's pursuers?

A man stepped forward politely, took out his waist card and flashed it to Yan Dun, it turned out to be Jin Yiwei.

"How did you know I was here?"

"To be honest, the three of us have followed Yan Fantai since Beiping, and we have been following here."

Yan blunt speechless.

"How long have you been in Peking?"

"Four years ago, I was ordered to station in Peiping."

"How many people are there?"

The man smiled, did not continue to answer Yan Dun, and a group of people headed south.

The county magistrate was just about to send someone to the provincial government when two people broke in suddenly. They also showed their badges and took away the seal of the Chief Secretary of Beiping from the county magistrate.

at this time.

When Zhu Gaochi learned that Yan Dun had quietly left Beiping, he felt bad and didn't dare to delay in Daning any longer, so he went to see King Ning early the next morning.

"Uncle Ning."

"Good nephew, how are you going to arrange your Uncle Wang?" The young King Ning looked at the junior who was only a few months younger than him, his expression changed for a while, and finally he smiled.

Dozens of elite soldiers were on standby, and the entire house was searched over and over again.

King Ning raised his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

He is not stupid.

No matter what the future holds, now that I am a prisoner, it is better to follow other people's lead.

Zhu Gaochi dared to treat Daning like this, which shows how courageous he is.

King Ning didn't want to gamble on whether he had the guts to kill Uncle Wang.

"Uncle Ning, don't worry, my nephew is here to invite Uncle Ning's family to live in Beiping for a while, and everything will be treated favorably."

"well."

King Ning readily agreed.

Zhu Gaochi glanced at King Ning. This person is very self-aware, which saved him a lot of effort and avoided the ugly between the two parties.

Just go.

King Ning's family was guarded by soldiers and locked on a train. Their luggage would be packed and sent to Peking by the people of Prince Ning's mansion.

Zhu Gaoxu took over Ning Wang Changshi's mansion, paralleled with the capital Si Fangkuan, Shixiaying Qiu Fu, and a group of trusted generals, digesting the military forces of Daning in the fastest time.

Arranging all kinds of arrangements, Zhu Gaochi was sent off by the people, and only stayed in Daning for three days before returning to Peiping in a hurry.

The original plan was to stay in Daning for more than five days and fully summon generals from all over the country.

In the end, because of Yan Dun's incident, Zhu Gaochi's position was disrupted.

really.

As the news of Yan Dun spread.

The chief secretary of Beiping, the inspector and envoy department, and various government and localities, a large number of officials left with their seals.

Officials.

You can scold him, beat him, insult him.

But whatever.

Officials are the local extension of the central government.

Without officials, this organization will disappear, and then all government orders, including local taxation, organization of people's power, etc., will not be able to operate.

one country.

It cannot be separated from the common people, nor can it be separated from officials, no matter what era, and what kind of appellation.

The first thing that happened was Daming Mansion, which is thousands of miles away from Peiping.

Daming Mansion is 180 miles east to Dongchang Mansion, Shandong, 320 miles south to Kaifeng Mansion, Henan Province, 280 miles southwest to Weihui Mansion, Henan Province, 220 miles west to Zhangde Mansion, Henan Province, 120 miles northwest to Guangping Mansion, and northeast to Guangping Mansion It is 160 miles from Qinghe County, 650 miles from Beiping in the north, and [-] miles from Nanjing.

King Yan's vassal land is Beiping, not Beiping Province.

Nominally.

The Daming Mansion is under the control of the Beiping Chief Secretary, and has no affiliation with the Wangfu.

In the original time, because of Yan Dun's reason, Zhu Gaochi's development of industrialization in Damingfu was not hindered at all.

And because it controls the military power of the Daming Mansion, it can be said to be smooth sailing.

But the human heart is the human heart.

The hearts of officials are not so pure.

They have been exposed to a wide range of levels and understand more news.

Zhu Gaochi sent troops to attack Daning.

Such shocking news, most of the local people are not aware of it, and are still living in their daily lives.

This includes factories as well.

But the officials knew that the little prince had rebelled.

These officials transferred from other places could not accept this reality, and the prefect of the Daming Prefecture asked the local militia to enter the city.

If you follow the traditional efficiency.

The military situation of the Daming Mansion, because of the distance of more than 1000 miles, and the seal and control of the Daming Prefect, it may take a few days, or even longer, to convey to Peiping.

However, in the mode of Beiping gathering troops, preparing food and grass, and marching in a hurry, it would take about half a month to reach the city.

But Zhu Gaochi received the news the next day.

"Who still owns Damingfu Railway Station?"

"In our hands."

"The prefect of Daming Prefecture summoned [-] militiamen from the local area. He originally wanted to take over the train station, but was rejected by the station guard."

"Where's the Fourth Battalion of the Daming Mansion New Army?"

"Also rejected the other party's transfer order, and sent troops to support the train station, and at the same time sent troops into the city, seized the north gate, and confronted the local militia."

"Has there been any bloodshed?"

"No, those militiamen are very restrained."

"make."

"The fourth battalion of the new army will immediately move out from the barracks, and the whole army will enter Damingfu City and take over the defense of the entire city, but don't disturb the people, and ensure local order."

Zhu Gaochi said decisively.

anyway.

The current trade and material circulation between Peiping and the mainland of Ming Dynasty has not been affected at present and is still in communication.

This is the most favorable economic situation for Peiping, and Zhu Gaochi will not take the initiative to interrupt it.

Such a phenomenon will last as long as it can last.

The downside is the turnover of people.

This is the reason why Yan Dun was able to leave Peiping easily.

"First, it was Yan Fantai's escape, and now it's the rebellion in Daming Mansion. I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be more and more disturbances."

Jin Zhong worried.

"There is also spring plowing now. My subordinates are worried about whether this year's spring plowing will be affected. It is related to grain production. I really dare not wait too long."

Zhu Gaochi frowned.

Thoughts are not unified.

The army is unified in thinking, but the civilians and the army are different.

"Meet."

"Have a meeting."

"Convene the Peking Plenary Political Conference."

Zhu Gaochi thought.

Jin Zhong looked at Zhu Gaochi curiously, not understanding the significance of this meeting.

The little prince likes meetings.

Various meetings are often held, and it has become a process.

For example, a general business meeting.

In order to successfully hold the plenary political meeting, Zhu Gaochi first held an important internal meeting.

The Changshi Mansion, the Beiping Chief Secretary, the Procuratorate, the Capital Division, and China Heavy Industries each had important figures involved.

"Famous utensils seem to be nothingness, but famous utensils cannot be ignored."

"The current situation in Beiping is to defend the industrial development path of Beiping, and all the people should participate."

"In order to fully call on all the people to join in and defend the fruits of Beiping's industrialization development path, the first Beiping Plenary Political Conference will be held."

"Officials, soldiers, common people, workers, scholars, and local gentry must all participate and unify their thinking through the Peking Plenary Political Conference."

Zhu Gaochi explained his thinking to everyone.

Politics in the Western tradition.

It is the divine right of kings.

Politics in the Eastern Tradition.

It is the right of the king.

It is all top-down, sacred and unshakable.

just now.

Zhu Gaochi wants to fight against the sky, and he has no famous weapon himself. He needs a new famous weapon, which is the Peking Plenary Political Conference.

In essence, it is also a unified thought.

Let all walks of life in Beiping recognize Zhu Gaochi, that is, the power of the monarchy and the people, and it is also sacred and unshakable.

This has roots in the East.

In line with Mencius's way.

"The sky sees itself as the people, and the sky listens to itself and the people."

The true Confucian power of the monarch is granted by heaven. This heaven refers to the people.
