Time to cash out!

As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, there was a noise in the governor's mansion.

The memories of everyone here were brought back to a long time ago, when the imperial court was paying attention to the reform of farmland in Zhejiang Province. After the emperor's grandson temporarily calmed down the unrest in Zhejiang Province, he returned to Yingtian and had that transaction with everyone here today.

All the distinguished generals and generals of the Ming Dynasty respected the imperial decree, shared their land, became officials and gentry, and paid commercial taxes.

The imperial court needs to give a one-to-ten exchange for the newly acquired land outside the Great Wall to compensate the noble generals for their support of the imperial land reform.

A few months ago, these honorable men and women present today thought that the results of Zhejiang Road would not be able to bear fruit until at least this year, and it would take at least three to five years to spread to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Waiting until three to five years later will be the time for each family to show their loyalty and exchange for benefits outside the Great Wall.

What they didn't expect was that they would be able to cash in on the original transaction a few months later.

Everyone has different expressions. Some people are worried that the land after the exchange will be far away from Yingtian, and how can each family ensure that the interests of each family are not damaged after the exchange.

But more people are excited about the one-to-ten exchange ratio and the ten-fold profit. Even if they are far away from Yingtian, even if they estimate the loss to 50%, each company will still double and double the profit.

Chang Sheng, however, became more calm and asked softly: "I don't know about this matter. What changes have happened now?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Over in southern Xinjiang, the Annan and Lao people invaded the border and injured the lives of our Ming people and officers and soldiers. They took advantage of the two autumn harvests in Guangxi and Yunnan in the south to plunder property.

The memorial was sent directly to the palace from the south, and it just arrived in the hands of His Majesty today. This matter has not been disclosed to the imperial court."

Chang Sheng frowned: "There has been trouble in the south again."

Although today's Ming Dynasty controls the Zhili and Twelve Roads in the Central Plains, there is basically not much actual governance over there, starting from the four roads of Fujian, Jiangxi, Huguang, and Sichuan to the south.

For example, the southern part of Jiangxi Road, the southern part of Huguang Road, the southern part of Sichuan Road, Guangdong Road, Guangxi Road, and Yunnan Road are almost all in a state of coexisting soil flows.

Earth currents coexist.

In other words, it is a pre-emptive policy of reforming the native land and returning it to local people.

Although the reform of soil and return to local people was a policy that was praised hundreds of years later, if there had not been a system of coexistence of soil and currents that had been implemented in southern Xinjiang and other places since the Yuan Dynasty, how could the wild boars that came in from Shanhaiguan have completely completed the system?

The policy of reforming the native land and returning it to local people.

Today's coexistence of native streams is an improved version of the native official autonomy policy of the Central Plains Dynasty in the south before the Yuan Dynasty.

The imperial court appeased local chieftains, granted official titles and rewards, and sent central officials as floating officials to govern the southern region.

Step by step, it erodes the control of native officials over local natives.

In such a general environment, the Ming Dynasty's garrison in the south can almost be described as weak in combat power.

Of course, except for the army commanded by Xipinghou who is currently in Yunnan.

But under such a situation, small countries in the South often invaded and plundered the Ming Dynasty. In many cases, the chieftains from the southern provinces turned into bandits and went down the mountain to loot.

Chang Sheng whispered: "I'm afraid it's difficult to use this as an excuse or reason for something like this."

If there is trouble in the south, the imperial court will send troops to attack. I am afraid that only by dispatching all the hundreds of thousands of Jingwei troops currently stationed in Yingtian and the 26 Shanzhi Guards troops to the south can we stop the riots and riots one after another.

Loot.

Everyone followed the founding father, and most of them nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yunxi said: "So, this is also the reason why I came to see your uncles today. At the court meeting in a few days, I will issue an order to reopen the imperial examination and give the candidates in Beijing another chance to take the imperial examination. At that time, there will be accusations of fraud.

If the people of Eucalyptus make a decision, they will also make the news from the south known to the public."

Chang Sheng turned his eyes, and after careful calculation in his mind, he slowly said: "So, Your Highness is not eager to launch an army to attack Annan and the Lao people this year? If this is the case, I don't know if Your Highness wants to attack."

In southern Xinjiang, whatever measures should be taken, the Fifth Army Commander's Office can also prepare them in advance to prepare for emergencies."

Zhang Wen, Marquis of Huining, said: "It's just that although the imperial court has restructured the post station and the Ministry of Household Affairs has added a lot of money and food, once the troops start going south, I'm afraid the court will not be able to provide this money and food..."

When Zhang Wen said this, everyone couldn't help but blush.

Even Zhu Yunxi was speechless.

The Ming Dynasty was really too poor!

Chang Sheng said: "This year's summer and autumn harvests have been completed, but I don't know how effective it is in collecting commercial taxes on the Zhejiang Road, where the officials and gentry are all working together."

Zhu Yunxi thought of his second uncle who was still left behind by him in Zhejiang Province, and smiled: "Thinking about the results of Zhejiang Province's restructuring this year, he will soon be sent to Beijing."

Money!

Zhu Yunxi suddenly realized that he had never been more in need of money than now.

Chang Sheng reiterated once again: "What kind of strategy will Your Highness use in southern Xinjiang?"

"The Jingwei selects elite soldiers and generals, and the officers and soldiers from the Guangdong and Guangxi guards serve as branches, and the Xipinghou serves as the flanks. They attack in parallel. Qiongzhou Mansion goes out to sea to transport troops, directly attacking the heart of the people. In this way, if one of the three is missing in the siege, then

The northern border of Annan can be leveled."

When Chang Sheng heard this, he already had a map of the topography of southern Xinjiang in his mind, and a map of where the court would use troops, where to attack, and where to encircle and suppress.

After a while, Chang Sheng finally spoke: "So, according to His Highness's plan, the imperial court will only mobilize up to three or five troops from the Beijing Guard to go south. The rest will be sent from the three local guards of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan.

The soldiers and horses will assist you."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "My uncle is right. After all, Southern Xinjiang is not like the Central Plains. Most of the people from Beijing and Wei are from both sides of the river. It is difficult to station in Southern Xinjiang for a long time and fight. They can only be used to attack tough battles. Only Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan

The local soldiers and horses are the soldiers who are most suitable for Annan and the Lao territory."

Chang Sheng said: "Calculated in this way, just for the Beijing guards and horses to arrive at Zhennanguan, the court and local governments will have to spend no less than 100,000 dans of grain and grass."

"There are also the soldiers' military uniforms, weapons, herbs, horses, firearms, etc., which are estimated to cost no less than 200,000 taels of silver." Huining Hou Zhang Wen added.

Chang Sheng nodded, and then said to Zhu Yunxi: "These are just the expenses of marching south. Once the war starts, the expenses of the army will be like the ocean current."

"But Annan and the Liao tribe must be captured by the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yunxi suddenly stood up and looked at the distinguished nobles present who looked over because of his actions.

Zhu Yunxi slammed his fists on the table with both hands and said in a deep voice: "This time, the Ming Dynasty not only wanted to capture Annan and the Laos, but also Champa, the Angkor Dynasty, the Sukhothai Dynasty, Luo Hu, and the Meng people.

, Bagan, Arakan and other places!"

As each familiar or unfamiliar local force in southern Xinjiang entered the ears of the honorable guests from Taisun's mouth.

The central hall of the Governor's Mansion fell into a dead silence.

At first, everyone, including Chang Sheng, thought that Taisun was just going south to Annan to subdue the Lao tribe, and then fulfill his original promise to transfer the Ming Dynasty's land in the Central Plains to Annan.

But now, they finally realized that they had thought wrong all along.

No one thought that Taisun would play so big!

He wants to conquer the entire southern Xinjiang and take it back to the Ming Dynasty!

Even though there was no reason for Chang Sheng to leave the East Palace, at this moment he looked at Zhu Yunxi with a hint of doubt.

Zhu Yunxi also knew that just a few words at this moment could not make these people change their minds, but he still said firmly: "You uncles only need to know that there is a rich land over there that is as rich as the three roads of Huguang, Jiangxi and Zhili."

."

"Half of the Central Plains?" Even Chang Sheng couldn't help but murmur when he heard these words.

"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi shouted lowly, his eyes flickering: "There is no less than half of the plains south of the Yangtze River. If we, the people of the Central Plains, farmed, they could even farm three times a year."

Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, looked ferocious and hesitated: "Is this really true?"

Zhu Yunxi waved his sleeves: "There are many envoys from Annan and Lao tribes in Beijing. During this period of time, uncles, you can go and inquire about the details on your own."

Hu Hai, the Marquis of Dongchuan, who had been silent all this time, stood up and raised his hands and asked: "I would like to ask Your Highness, how should the imperial court manage these places that I, the Ming Dynasty, have conquered? Even if they can produce countless grains, how should they be transported?"

Reply to God?"

This is a very important question.

Many times, it was not that the Central Plains dynasty did not have more power to expand its territory, but was restricted by the factor of distance. The armies fighting abroad were always threatened by supply lines, which made the Central Plains keep going back and forth.

Make trouble on these existing sites.

Even though it was as strong as the Tang Dynasty and dominated the Western Regions, a change in the country led to a shortage of supplies. In the end, the Central Plains Han family completely lost the Western Regions for hundreds of years. Until now, no Han family court has set foot in Anxi again, let alone Anxi.

The Western Region!

Zhu Yunxi smiled silently, and coughed lightly when he saw the expectant eyes of everyone doing it.

"Shipping! This is also a good thing that I have given to all my uncles."

Chang Sheng hesitated and said: "Sea transportation?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "Since Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug the Grand Canal, most of the grain and grass supplies in the Central Plains traveling from north to south have been transported by inland rivers. Now, in the Ming Dynasty, we have used the power of Jiangnan and Huguang to supply countless grain and grass supplies to Jiubian, and we also travel

This is probably the case with the canal, but the imperial court ignored the convenience of sea transportation and its carrying capacity that far exceeded that of inland rivers."

Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, said in a low voice: "But now the imperial treasure ships and large ships are all commanded by the navy, and the ministers dare not trespass on private property."
