The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 508 Unstoppable
Imperial City.

Zhu Gaochi temporarily put down the memorial.

Xie Jin and other officials followed Zhu Gaochi on the platform in the Wenhua Hall, and arranged time for activities every day.

The imperial palace in Beijing is different from the Yan Palace in Peking.

With the development of industrialization in Peiping, high-rise buildings have blocked the Yan Palace. Although the capital is also developing industry, it mainly surrounds the six surrounding areas.

Looking at the capital, it seems that we can see the people in the market, who are working hard in their lives.

"Xing, the people are suffering."

"Death, the people suffer."

Hearing the emperor's grandson's sudden sigh, the surrounding officials began to speculate on the emperor's mood.

The capital is not at peace.

The situation last year was not very stable. With the prince's expedition, it is more likely to be the power of industrial development.

Local conflicts seemed to erupt overnight.

The case published by Yingtianfu Social Newspaper is intended to have a knock-on effect, but it seems that the effect is not good so far.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun cares for the people and follows the style of his ancestors, which is a blessing to the world." Xie Jin sighed.

The surrounding officials all agreed.

Zhu Gaochi didn't care.

Under his eyes, everything seemed to be developing for the better, but the invisible places were full of complications.

"Actually, I know an easier way."

Zhu Gaochi smiled.

Throughout history, there have always been people who were dedicated to serving the country.

Be it Tang, Song, or Ming, there was no shortage of people who devoted themselves to the country.

The person Zhu Gaochi admires most is Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng is a smart man.

He chose a path that put himself on a cliff but made the country prosperous.

With the power and status he had at that time, as well as the environment he was in, he could have taken an easier path.

Power, wealth, and fame are at your fingertips.

But he gave up.

In the end, he died and his family was destroyed.

But it gave Ming Dynasty the national strength of the three major conquests, defeated the Japanese invaders' wolfish ambitions, and stabilized the world structure.

In fact, Zhu Gaochi could have taken an easier path.

He only needs to share the cake with the powerful and the profit class, then the whole world will praise him, and no one will oppose him anymore.

It's just that the people at the bottom who have no voice will not be as great because of the power and glory of the Ming Dynasty.

This is not the industrial Ming that Zhu Gaochi wanted.

The real industrial Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the strength of the country, there is also a struggle process in which all people participate. How can we let people carry forward their spiritual struggle?

that light.

The glory of Ming Dynasty shines in the world.

This is Zhu Gaochi's ideal, and he also knows that it is also the ideal of the common people who have no voice.

"Please invite the Marquis of Changxing, General Hussars, Governor Xiao Xu, and the guests of honor of the clan, Yuan Rong and Li Rang, to come to the Wenhua Hall."

Zhu Gaochi ordered.

The little Huangmen hurriedly went out to call for help, and when Jie Jin understood it, the Emperor Taisun made up his mind to completely take control of the military.

soon.

Geng Bingwen, Song Sheng, Xu Zengshou, Yuan Rong and Li Rang entered the palace.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi had returned to Wenhua Hall.

Xie Jin of the Cabinet and Jin Zhong, Minister of War, are still there.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Emperor."

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

Zhu Gaochi looked at the five people in front of him.

Geng Bingwen is the only two founding heroes left in the dynasty, and the other one is Guo Ying, the grandfather of Zhu Gaochi's daughter-in-law.

Because this person betrayed Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Yuanzhang finally became interested in being an easy reserve and was sent to Yunnan.

Emergency came from Yunnan, Guo Ying was seriously ill.

After learning about it, Zhu Gaochi had already issued an order to recruit Guo Ying to return to the capital for retirement if he recovered from his illness. This would be regarded as clearing up the past.

But this person probably won't come back, and Guo Cailian, who is pregnant, doesn't know yet.

Then there is the old general Song Sheng, a hussar general who rose through the ranks through his military exploits.

These two people belong to Zhu Yuanzhang. If Zhu Gaochi wants to control the military power, he needs to consider Zhu Yuanzhang's mood.

Then there is Xu Zengshou.

Xu Zengshou and Zhu Di have a deep relationship and can be regarded as Zhu Di's people.

Yuan Rong and Li Rang are Zhu Di's sons-in-law and their brothers-in-law.

Yuan Rong has been working for him for many years and can be regarded as his own. As for Li Rang, he should be regarded as Zhu Di's.

so down.

Two of Zhu Yuanzhang's men, two of Zhu Di's men, and one of his own had complete control of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

As for his uncle Xu Huizu, he was sent to the Western Regions Province by Zhu Gaochi and asked to be trained by Zhu Di.

It is customary for a noble person to take charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Zhu Gaochi did not trust the rest of the nobles because they also suffered losses in interests.

"The original division of the five military governor's offices was too complicated. After discussion with Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, and Mr. Xie Ge, I planned to make adjustments."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Yuan Rong and Li Rang couldn't hold back their anger, and their expressions immediately looked overjoyed, they were about to be put to great use.

Geng Bingwen and Song Sheng remained calm, while Xu Zengshou looked indifferent. He was originally in charge of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

The commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army was promoted to a high position and he also lost the command of the army. Old General Song Sheng was not happy.

As for Geng Bingwen, he was half happy and half worried.

He was very happy that the emperor's grandson could trust him, but the current climate inside and outside the capital made him a little worried.

The prince should end the expedition as soon as possible. With the prince in charge of the capital and the emperor's grandson in charge, the situation would be very different.

Jin Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, submitted the charter and distributed it through Xiaohuang Gate.The north became eleven provinces and one region, and coupled with years of military reform, the scope of management needed to be re-divided.

Yuan Rong was in charge of the military governor's office and the capital guard station.

Li Rang was in charge of the former military governor's office, Geng Bingwen was in charge of the rear army governor's office, Song Sheng was in charge of the left army governor's office, Xu Zengshou was in charge of the right army governor's office, plus Jin Zhong, the minister of the Ministry of War.

Each military governor's office has a left and right governor, and retains the governor's co-intelligence, the governor's affairs, and the left and right officers of the five armies.

Tang Yun was appointed Tongzhi of the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, in charge of the capital's squadron. Zhang Yu was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, Qianshi, leading the Yongjun Army. Chen Xian was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army, Qianshi, to lead the Zhongyong Army.

He was promoted to Chief Secretary of Peking and joined the political affairs. Su Guan was appointed Minister of Military Affairs of the Ministry of War and was responsible for the training of the Beijing camp.

Ji Gang was promoted to deputy envoy of Jinyiwei.

Establish a naval governor's office to manage the world's navy.

……

The grand military layout has attracted attention both inside and outside the country. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is aimed at the current situation inside and outside the capital.

Zhejiang Dusi.

Guangwei General Xie Gui's face was full of anxiety.

The staff in the hall did not dare to persuade him. Xie Gui walked back and forth, hoping for good news.

"General."

"How about it? Do you have my name?"

Xie Gui stepped forward immediately.

The official who came in shook his head.

Xie Gui was stunned.

Disappointment enveloped him, and he began to feel resentful.

For Zhu Di and his son, he believed that he had done his best to benevolent and righteous.

There was someone who wanted to kill their father and son, but he revealed it to them. What happened?

He was transferred away from Chuzhou, far away from the capital.

He was promoted and demoted, and was transferred to Zhejiang to sit on the bench. Xie Gui squinted his eyes and slapped himself hard, "I would have regretted it if I had known this."

Everyone looked at their leader.

At the beginning, Xie Gui submitted a certificate of nomination to the former Crown Prince of Yan, who is now the emperor's grandson, and gave the list to him.

Relying on this list, the later prince exiled a large number of people on the list, dealing a heavy blow to the original emperor's grandson's line.

Now that the new emperor's grandson has been in Beijing for the third year, everyone has a clear view of the future situation.

As the popular saying goes, "people don't have enough money to make a living."

Xie Gui was not a reckless person. He couldn't get what he wanted, so he froze for a long time and pondered how to save the situation.

Yingtianfu has a population of tens of millions, and Zhejiang Province has a population of tens of millions.

It is the richest area in Ming Dynasty.

The richer the economy, the wider the gap between rich and poor.

This is one of the reasons why Ming Dynasty did not enter the industrial revolution.

There is sufficient manpower and low wages, and only in the north are high-quality and easy-to-excavate coal mines. The use of machines has no advantage over cheap manpower.

Similar to France in the West, the environment before the first industrial revolution was similar.

The Industrial Revolution did not occur in France, nor did it occur in the Jianghuai region of the Ming Dynasty.

The difference is that France is close to the United Kingdom. When the British new steam engine came out, it was quickly introduced and utilized.

However, the Ming Dynasty, which did not resist external technology and knowledge, has died, and was replaced by the Qing Dynasty, which closed the country and restricted technology.

Industrialization expanding from the north broke the balance of Yingtianfu's traditional model.

Some landowners were able to escape competition and join the industrialization model, while other landowners were unable to gain a new identity through competition, and they became conservative forces.

It's like a new reshuffle. Some people continue to protect their interests, while others are losing their interests.

It is also like technological innovation, which brings great shock to the industry.

Some companies survived and made great progress, while others struggled and even went bankrupt.

"I heard you have Mr. Huang here."

Several squires came to visit the construction site.

I visited the construction site on the grounds of learning industrial models.

The model of China Heavy Industry did not resist the gentry’s investment in industry, and the Peiping model absorbed a lot of private capital.

Only support was given to the country gentry who took the initiative to join industrialization.

At the construction site, several squires asked around and inadvertently asked the workers something.

"Master Huang?"

"Where did Mr. Huang come from on the construction site?"

"Oh, you are talking about an old man, probably in his early seventies. He is getting stronger with age and is so tall..."

"exactly."

"This old Mr. Huang is our friend. We have looked for him many times, and his family members all said he came to the construction site."

Several squires smiled.

"When you meet him one day, please don't reveal it. We plan to give our old friend a surprise."

The squires were very kind.

He also bought tickets for the Grand Theater for the workers, treated them to the show, and invited them to visit their hometowns.

The workers looked very happy.

In the past, in rural areas, squires were respected beings.

Now that they have left the land, these simple people feel flattered by the superior people who treat them so politely.

far away.

The people recruited by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War took trains to Hami and Yili.

There was hope on their faces.

Each family will be allocated one hundred acres of land, and the government will provide cattle, seeds, farm tools, etc., and the people will smile from ear to ear.

Who is willing to work hard to farm land for others?

Being able to have their own land means they want nothing more and are full of energy.

In the autumn of the 32th year of Hongwu.

The curtain of outward expansion has begun. Although the pace is still slow, it is firm and unstoppable.
