Chapter 907: Territory Expansion
Emperor Qin Feng of Hongmu killed the Goryeo royal family and conquered Goryeo. He also gave the land and wealth of the nobles to the local people to win the hearts of the people, and the Qin army had four disciplines and eight points of attention, and in an instant, it became one with the local people from Qin Feng down, and soon consolidated its rule.
Fighting the aristocracy and dividing the land has become the only way to win the hearts of the people when the ruling class of Qin Feng is fighting wars internally and externally. From then on, the Qin army went to a new place, and whether it could last or not, it would fight the nobles as soon as possible, collect their property and return it to Great Qin, and then divide the land. So firmly won the hearts of the people, even if they were temporarily defeated by the local rulers and retreated, when they came again, the local people did not help the old rulers, but helped the Qin army.
"This is the ...... of the human heart." Emperor Hongwu always said so. In fact, he was very clear in his heart, and the old rulers needed to maintain their own internal stability, so they could not divide the land to the people. And Qin Feng is new, he doesn't have a penny of property on the new land, and the land is still able to collect taxes when it is distributed to the people, not to mention keeping the old nobles without taxes, and beware of the restoration of these nobles after leaving. Therefore, why not give it to the people?
However, in order to reduce his own losses in the conquest, Qin Feng could not be killed with a stick, and if he could surrender on his own initiative, he would be transferred back to Yedu with a loose post. Dismissal cannot be hereditary, the older generation is dead, the younger generation has no ability to lose the family, but there is no penny relationship with Emperor Hongwu.
Emperor Hongmu completely mastered Goryeo, after the news spread. The Buyeo and Sushen royal families were all broken, and they said in their hearts that holding on to it would be the fate of the king of Goryeo, so there would be nothing. On the contrary, it is better to surrender to Daqin and merge into the Daqin system, and you can still mix a clan master.
And so. Buyeo and Su Shen sent envoys to surrender. Qin Feng also issued an edict, and the king became the head of the clan. The nobles were successively sealed as a loose official of five, six, seven, eight and nine grades, and all their families moved to Yedu. And the land. All of them were distributed to the people in accordance with the Junda Law.
For a time, the Northeast of later generations fell into the joy of joining the Great Qin, and the cheers reached the Far East.
Emperor Hongwu reorganized the Northeast and established the Northeast Prefecture.
When the news came, the whole country celebrated. The multi-ethnic army has been trained and has a sincere sense of comradeship, and the ensuing ethnic groups have truly merged together under the banner of Great Qin.
The map of Great Qin was renovated, and Qin Feng looked at the huge blank space in the southwest of the later generations with regret. At this time, there were the Western Regions in the northwest. In the southwest, however, there are no established forces. In order to allow the southwestern region to enter the Chinese territory earlier, Qin Feng issued an edict on the way back to Yedu.
Great Qin sent an expeditionary force of 50,000 from Dizhou to the west, conquering the entire Tibetan plateau in later generations.
After the establishment of the Great Qin system, the territory of the Great Qin almost doubled within a year. It became the western part of Kashmir, the northern part of the Mongolian Plateau, the Sayan Mountains, the Kent Mountains, and the Yablonov Mountains, and the peninsula in the east. The northeastern frontier leads directly to the vast state of what is later Siberia.
The limit has been reached in the north, and further north is the boundary of the Arctic Circle. 1,800 years ago, these places were extremely sparsely populated, with only a few primitive nomadic tribes. Therefore, Emperor Hongwu Qin Feng only encouraged the people of Great Qin. Explore and discover these lands, and the Qin army will be their backing forever.
Many people with a pioneering spirit go to these places to explore. Gradually, they became like those who came to explore the western part of the Americas. became an immigrant of Daqin, and the seeds of Daqin began to take root in these places.
At the end of the second year of Hongwu. Qin Feng returned to Yedu.
There is nothing more motivating than a complete victory in a war. On this day, hundreds of thousands of people came outside the city to welcome the emperor's return. Qin Feng walked onto the majestic head of the capital of Ye, and the endless figures of the people came into view, and many ethnic minorities were also among them.
"My people of Daqin, everyone has food to eat, everyone has a field ......." These simple words spoke to the hearts of the people, and when he raised his arms, the cheers resounded through the world.
When the land is distributed to the people, it can still be taxed, but when it is distributed to the nobles, it cannot be taxed. Why didn't Qin Feng distribute the land to the people? Everyone has land, and his rule will not be shaken in the slightest, but because he has won the hearts and minds of the people, his rule will be more stable. However, Qin Feng did not kill all the nobles, he just cultivated honest officials and no longer supported new aristocratic families.
The government and the opposition were full of praise, and the historians used their pens and the most gorgeous sentences to record another great achievement of Emperor Hongwu. In the second year of Hongwu, Great Qin expanded its territory in the hands of Emperor Hongwu, and since then, the fertile black soil of Northeast Prefecture and the people living on it have become an inseparable part of our Great Qin.
Empress Cai Yan led all the imperial concubines, princes, and princesses to welcome Emperor Hongwu back to the palace. The princes were impassioned, praying that they would be able to go on the expedition with their father next time.
Qin Feng was very relieved when he heard this, he would not let his sons join the army because of the danger of war, he instead said: "You are the best age to learn skills, you are skilled in bows and horses, and you are skilled in martial arts. The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, let you learn from your teacher, but you must respect the teacher. If anyone treats Master slowly, I will definitely not be able to spare him! ”
As a result, the princes are all gearing up, worshipping Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and other generals, and learning literature and martial arts is not a problem.
Qin Feng also praised the crown prince Qin Yan's steady appearance during the period of his expedition.
And the imperial concubines looked behind them and were relieved to see that only Xin Xianying was following all the way. They are very relieved and admire Xin Xianying, such a young and beautiful woman, who is still clear and jade by the side of Emperor Hongwu, which is really not easy.
So, later, the queen took the imperial concubines to take the initiative to serve Qin Feng. Qin Feng didn't need to move, so he vented the anger he had accumulated during this period of time. The mountains, like the forests, lost themselves, crying out and not being able to stand it. and brought Zhang Zhongjing's big tonic pill to eat, and Hua Tuo's big tonic soup was topped.
Fortunately, Qin Feng also exercised diligently, and he could still be satisfied with two or three thousand times per person. So the beautiful sound ...... in the Qianqing Palace at night.
In a side hall next to the Qianqing Palace, "the hateful Hongwu Emperor......." "In the middle of the night, Xin Xianying didn't fall asleep. In the end, he simply buried his hot pretty face in the quilt.
It's Chinese New Year!
The Spring Festival of the third year of Hongwu has just passed, and Daqin is still shrouded in the joy of the festival. Ethnic minorities have brought with them certain new ways of daily life. It makes Daqin more prosperous and the atmosphere of the festival more intense.
"Huh. Cicada, you're a little bigger here than when I first came back! It must have been my dragon rain that played a role! ”
"Hey, trainer, you compare ...... with Xiangxiang's here." Qin Feng grabbed it and compared it together, but when he discovered the new continent on Zhen Mi, he finally stayed on the sidelines, and exclaimed: "My little Zhen Mi has finally matured!" ”
"Nasty!"
Qin Feng grabbed a handful from his left and touched it again. In "Rolling and Climbing", he finally escaped from the dormitory by "climbing over the mountains and mountains".
On this day, there was no major event in the DPRK and China, and Daqin continued to advance on the high-speed track. Zheng Hun's water conservancy facilities have caused Daqin's water to increase day by day, and after completely getting rid of the harvest of Wangtian, Daqin will be able to withstand many natural disasters. The new type of plough invented by Qin Feng has been promoted, and the effective arable land has been continuously increased.
In this era, the whole world is within the realm of agricultural countries. Only when there is more land and the peasants are rich can the development of commerce be promoted. With the development of business. With the increase in private caravans, the Silk Road was restarted. Qin Feng encouraged industry and commerce, and he made it clear that the army of Great Qin would be the backing of Great Qin merchants.
The merchants of Daqin were very happy. But they also have a responsibility. They traveled around the merchants, reporting what they saw and heard to the court. And Qin Feng pointed out in particular. The world map centered on the Great Qin territory was issued, and it was necessary to have it outside the yamen in all places. Qin Feng relied on the experience of later generations. The format was developed personally.
An oval map doesn't need to be designed. Daqin was right in the middle. Asia, Europe, the Americas, and so on are all available, but the specific names and boundaries of each country are completely wrong in later generations, so most of them are temporarily blank and need to be filled after discovery. Qin Feng planned to use this map to let the people of Great Qin have the concept of the world, and they could also know what position Great Qin was in the world.
The concept of the world has played a certain role in promoting businessmen. The merchants of Daqin began to go abroad, and people with the spirit of exploration also began to go to those blank places to explore and discover the unknown world. These people will bring very important world information to Great Qin, but Qin Feng will not passively wait to receive it, but will select elite people in the intelligence guard. Assemble squads to explore, to discover.
In ancient times, without the developed communication and transportation of later generations, the process of exploration and discovery must have been very long and arduous. But Qin Feng knew that as long as the seeds were sown, there would be a harvest day. Qin Feng has a lot of national affairs to deal with every day, and he also has to have his own life, so he doesn't have much time to think about it, but an occasional flash of inspiration will bring new changes to this world.
In the hearts of the ministers, Emperor Hongwu was wise, and the theories he put forward were all unprecedented. In the hearts of the people, Emperor Hongwu is a good emperor of benevolence and virtue, and the people have lived a good life that they have never had, so the people are very grateful, hard work to get rich in many places, pay more taxes, and my Great Qin Dynasty has no borders.
In the study, it was very quiet, only the sound of reading and writing. Qin Feng sat on the dragon chair, Xin Xianying was hidden behind the screen, and the chief administrator of the inner house, Dequan, was waiting with more than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs.
He has to watch ten hours a day, and Qin Feng doesn't feel bored at all about this kind of life. He would be very happy when he saw that the song was written about the stability and prosperity of various places.
It is estimated that at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, a small eunuch appeared outside the door. Dequan immediately walked over, quickly returned, and said, "Your Majesty, Admiral Gan Ning, the Governor of the Navy, asks to see you." ”
"Oh? Declare him in. Qin Feng put down the recital.
Qin Feng established the navy because he had a huge battleship that could last for a long time in the deep sea. In later generations, it would take three or five years for a battleship to be built, and if a country could have ten or eight warships, it would be a great naval power. Qin Feng centralizes power and money, but is constrained by productivity and technological secrecy. When the Chaos-class battleships tended to be metal-hulled, they were running at full capacity for a year, and the shipyard in Tanggu could only launch one.
Qin Feng now has eight battleships, named after major cities, and this is all his naval strength. This, of course, refers to the real naval combat power of later generations. If it is offshore and inland, there are still 18,000 ships.
When Gan Ning walked into the imperial study with a large scroll, he revealed an indescribable joy and bowed: "Enlighten the emperor, the Great Qin Maritime Defense Line, until the nautical chart of "Southeast Asia" is finally completed!" ”
"Oh!" Qin Feng was overjoyed, and couldn't help but stand up from the throne and said, "Quickly bring it to me!" (To be continued......)
