Chapter 907: Another Storm
Liu Chengfeng seemed a little tired. He had not had a good sleep for several nights, but now was an important moment, so he had to hold on to various court meetings day and night.
Now the call for merchants to ask the Wang Ting to come up with specific details is getting higher and higher, and the State of Chu is just taking advantage of the iron heat. The most important thing is to unify the administration and re-plan the administrative plan of the Southeast Asian countries. Otherwise, according to the original plan adopted by various countries, I am afraid that it will be in chaos.
However, the details of this matter have been formulated by the government. The government divided the entire Nanyang into more than 40 prefectures, such as Annan, into Nanyue and North Vietnam, and Zhenla was also divided into two. As for Luzon, it was divided into three prefectures. According to the preface of the Ming Dynasty, each prefecture was dispatched to govern the prefect, and to serve as a prefect, both Han people and vassals could be appointed. However, the prerequisite was that it must have qualifications recognized by the State of Chu. For example, you must be proficient in Chinese, able to write Chinese, read books from various schools of thought, and have certain qualifications.
Generally speaking, the prefect is recommended by the country and then the advisory government will review it. If the review is passed, it will be appointed. If the review is not approved, the advisory government will be re-appointed.
This article takes care of the interests of some vassals and at least gives them the right to nominate. The congressional government firmly controls the right to decide and also snatches the lifelines of various countries.
In addition to the administrative division, the next step is the formulation of the law. The laws of each country are different, which makes it easy for people to take advantage of loopholes. Therefore, the Zheng Cao began to formulate the law according to the Ming Dynasty law, and at the same time invited various countries to discuss it to ensure that the law can be recognized by most people at least on the surface.
Liu Chengfeng was not concerned about these things. What he really cared about was another issue. That was the upcoming disarmament and the recruitment of coalition forces. According to the agreement reached by Liu Chengfeng with various countries, all countries shall not retain any army except the guards of the royal family of the vassal kings. All troops shall be abolished, or some elite troops shall be drawn into the Nanyang coalition forces. The coalition forces set up two major camps. The Han military camps are the Han military camps and the Han military camps. The Han military camps only recruit young and strong Han people for training, while the vassal camps are all kinds of.
There are also Annan Camp, Zhenla Camp, Luzon Camp, Java Camp, etc., with the quota of each battalion of 5,000, and the battalion was divided into three armies. After the unified training, various places were assigned to garrison, such as Annan Camp, which were often sent to Java, and most of Java were stationed in Luzon. In this way, the vassal soldiers were always stationed in foreign lands, and they were not even able to speak. They were usually locked up in the camps, and the food and salary were all all relied on Chu for distribution and transportation. Even if they wanted to make trouble, they could not cause trouble.
Of course, the military officers in the Han military camp were mainly Han people, and the vassal camps would appropriately add some vassals. So Liu Chengfeng had another idea to set up a military officer school. The military officer school could be selected by Han people and vassal aristocrats, allowing them to accept some military knowledge, and at the same time subtly influence their thoughts and consciousness, so that these vassal aristocrats who were doing nothing were looking for something to do.
In terms of treatment, Liu Chengfeng has always been generous to the nobles of the vassals, after all, he can win over them and ease certain conflicts.
After almost finalizing the details, Liu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief. In the brightly lit government lobby, Liu Chengfeng stretched and couldn't help but say to Li Dongdong: "The matter is done, and the Lone King can breathe a sigh of relief. After being busy for so long, the Lone King should enjoy the peace and happiness. The Lone King wants to rest for a few days. You can handle the remaining matters at your discretion. If there are really something difficult to decide, come and report it."
Li Dongdong was in a good mood. This time it was like a snake swallowing an elephant. Lianzhou suddenly controlled the entire Nanyang without using weapons. Moreover, the depth of control was not much worse than the county system. Now everyone is happy. The merchants have targeted business opportunities and their job opportunities have also increased greatly. More influx of Han people can take the opportunity to be resettled. His leadership of the government has expanded from a small country to the entire Nanyang. The tariffs at various ports, the operation and coordination of the huge army, and the appointment and removal power of a large number of officials have also fallen into his hands. It can be said that his leadership of the government is actually no less powerful than his clan brothers.
He cheered up and nodded, "Your Highness is time to take a break, and leave the rest to us."
Liu Chengfeng was satisfied and yawned, then walked away.
Walking out of the government lobby, the sunshine outside shone, which made Liu Chengfeng feel indescribable. His hard work for the past six months was obviously not in vain. Things were as calculated by himself. Now what Liu Chengfeng needs most is time. In time, he will create a miracle on this land.
Thinking of this, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a little boiling. He solved the financial problems for the Ming Dynasty and alleviated the Ming Dynasty's confidant troubles. However, Liu Chengfeng knew that in fact, there was still a huge hidden danger within the Ming Dynasty. This dynasty had been too peaceful for too long, and the population had increased dramatically, but the land had never increased. The contradiction between people and land had become increasingly sharp. Under such productivity situations, the increase in population would only lead to the accumulation of contradictions to a level that could not be eased.
The emergence of Chu became a window for the Ming Dynasty. Once the population increased, it would cause refugees. The refugees could not solve it in the past, but now there was a way out, which was to go to Southeast Asia. In this way, the population problem of the Ming Dynasty was alleviated. Due to the influx of a large number of Han people in Southeast Asia, these people would also become a solid foundation for Chu in Southeast Asia.
While thinking about it, Liu Chengfeng returned to the depths of the inner palace. He was indeed a little tired, and he had already made plans to do nothing in the past few months. He looked for an opportunity to take the princess and the princess to go out for a trip. Where can I go? Liu Chengfeng didn't expect that in fact, although he had been here for so long, he knew everything about the people of Chu and the situation of various countries in Southeast Asia, but if he had any fun places in Lianzhou, or any scenic spots in Chu, he knew nothing.
"Duoduo is the most playful girl. I must have found out clearly. Then I will ask her."
Liu Chengfeng was quite happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but hum a little song... The State of Chu has always been the focus of the capital, at least for public opinion. The newspapers here can be reported immediately if there is any slight disturbance in the State of Chu. In the past, the State of Chu almost laughed at the big teeth of countless people when he got an examination, which caused a great sensation. And the progress of Chu in Southeast Asia has now become the latest news.
It is said that because of this news, the prices of all goods in the entire Jubao Building have risen by half. As the quotation of Jubao Building is becoming more and more mature, the current ups and downs are not very big, but the rise this time is really due to the influence of huge positive news.
Nanyang is firmly controlled by the hands of Chu, which means that the price of raw materials for goods will be lower. In theory, the lower the price, the lower the price of goods should also fall. In fact, the reason is not like this. When the raw materials fall, the goods remain unchanged for the time being, and merchants earn a lot more profits. Driven by this good news, commercial activities are more active. Merchants with surplus money have increased their investment. Even if there is no surplus money, they will borrow money from the money house to expand the scale of their business.
In addition, the Francos were driven out of Nanyang, and there was no competition from Han merchants, so the price naturally rose.
This news is excellent news for merchants, but it is not good news for some people. At least for officials in various yamen, it always feels a bit ridiculous. When everyone used the excuse of Liu Chengfeng bullying the vassal states, they drove Liu Chengfeng out. Who knew that this made Liu Chengfeng free up his hands to deal with the vassal states. However, although everyone is dissatisfied with Liu Chengfeng, it is beyond the reach, not to mention that a storm has already caused in the court. At this moment, everyone's attention still has to pay attention to the court.
The cause of the matter is very simple. The power of the West Factory has been getting higher and higher recently, which has caused dissatisfaction in the cabinet. Who is Liu Jian? He was used to saying everything in the Hongzhi Dynasty. Now he suddenly has the eunuch's constraints and naturally decided to fight back.
Just so happened that a major event made Liu Jian seize the opportunity. After Liu Jin gradually took power, he immediately recommended his brother as a guerrilla general. The cabinet originally disagreed, but Liu Jin repeatedly encouraged the emperor, and finally Zhu Houzhao spoke in person, and the matter was settled.
The elder brother of this Eunuch Liu is not very good. He took office in Liaodong. Originally, Liu Jin wanted to stay in Liaodong for a few years, find a way to make some achievements, and then transfer back to the capital. In recent years, there have been few thieves in Chengping, Liaodong, so he is not afraid of any danger.
But the problem arises.
On the prairie at this time, unlike the Ming Dynasty, which had been peaceful for a long time, the tribes in the south of the desert supported Li Ruofan and defeated Wasai. This ambitious woman was not satisfied with her current situation. At the beginning of the year, she launched an attack on the Tatars. For a moment, both sides were very happy to kill, while the Ming Dynasty adopted an indifferent attitude, obviously unwilling to interfere in this war.
In April, the situation began to deteriorate. The tribes in the south of the desert defeated tens of thousands of elite Tatars in one fell swoop. Then they were unstoppable and rushed into the hinterland of the Tatars. The battlefield went from Datong to the Liaodong area.
Liu Jin's brother had long wanted to make meritorious contributions, but the Tatars saw that they were unable to hear the sound of their own hands, so they promised a bribe to the general guarding the border town and asked the Ming army to take action. So the confused guy actually led his troops to help the battle.
The final result can be imagined. The defeat of the Tatars was, and the Ming army was abandoned. More importantly, the Ming Dynasty, which had always pursued neutrality, also increased its pressure. The tribes in the south of the desert had sent stern letters of the country, which looked like they were provoking troops to question the crime.
This fact made the court stunned. They only knew that General Liu was stupid, but they did not expect that he was so stupid that a general even went to fight without an imperial edict. Isn’t this person really afraid of death?
