Chapter 515 Nanyang Development

With Wang Yangming's character and cultivation, it can be said that few things can make him lose his temper like this. Therefore, when Wang Yangming looked at Li Huan's memorial and marveled over and over again, Yang Tinghe, Liu Yu and other important officials in the court couldn't help but surrender.

came a surprised look.

Obviously, they were also very curious about what the content of the memorial was, which could actually make Wang Yangming so admirable.

Wang Yangming read the entire content of the memorial at an extremely fast speed. Generally speaking, the content of this memorial can be roughly divided into several points. The first is that the Ming Dynasty won the naval battle against Portugal and had completely controlled Nanyang. The second point is that

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to control the provinces of Nanyang, the court would need to dispatch a large number of officials to Nanyang in a short period of time to complete the division of states and counties at all levels and establish effective administrative institutions.

The third is to immigrate to Southeast Asia.

With so many things gathered in this memorial, it is no wonder that this memorial seems so thick.

After reading the memorial, Wang Yaming handed it to Yang Tinghe and others.

Soon everyone in the imperial study room finished reading the memorial.

It can be said that after reading the memorial, everyone present praised Li Huan's suggestions.

Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there, was condescending and could be said to have seen the reactions of everyone in his eyes. He said with a bit of a smile on his lips: "Fellow gentlemen, what do you think of everything Li Qing said?"

After looking at each other, Wang Yangming said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I think that whatever the Duke of Qin asks can be carried out, if our Ming Dynasty can completely digest and control Nanyang, it will definitely be a great achievement for our Ming Dynasty.

The great achievements of the contemporary era will benefit the future, and His Majesty’s name will be passed down through the ages.”

In the middle and late stages of any dynasty, various shortcomings will occur, the most serious of which are increased population reproduction, serious land annexation, serious degradation of military strength, etc.

The opening of the Nanyang Province this time was able to solve two fatal problems for the Ming Dynasty at once.

According to what Li Huan said, most of the entire Nanyang Province is a fertile land comparable to the land in the south of the Yangtze River. Such a vast land, if it is open to immigrants, can at least accommodate tens of millions of people, not to mention many.

Ming people.

As for the Ming Dynasty, if it can really be said that tens of millions of people who live in poverty, have lost their land and are worried about eating, can be moved to Nanyang, it will definitely reduce the huge hidden dangers for the Ming Dynasty.

Since ancient times, as long as the people of China have something to eat and can survive, they will never jump up and rebel. Although the Ming Dynasty has undergone tax reform, it has reduced the burden of the people of the Ming Dynasty to a certain extent.

But this is only a relative reduction.

For those people who do not have their own land, the role it can play is actually quite limited.

There is also the Weisuo system that has gradually deteriorated within a few years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Weisuo system of the Ming Dynasty did provide a large amount of manpower and material resources for the Ming Dynasty to conquer the east and west, but it did not last for many years.

, the Ming Guard System began to deteriorate, and now it has completely become a cancer on the Ming Dynasty.

Anyone who is not blind can see this cancer in the palace, but no one can have the thunderbolt to cut off this cancer.

However, this time Li Huan presented a memorial, providing the court with a solution to this cancer.

Moving many of the Ming Dynasty's garrison posts to the Southeast Asian lands, re-allocating land to these people, and removing these people's garrison status from military status can be said to be a move that kills two birds with one stone.

These military households in the guards may have been vulnerable for a long time, but they are still slightly stronger than ordinary people. When these guards are moved to Nanyang as a whole and have enough fields, I believe these people will definitely be able to suppress the local people.

The indigenous people completely occupied the vast land of Nanyang for the Ming Dynasty.

As Wang Yangming spoke, the rest of the people nodded, and many people showed excitement on their faces.

If people of their generation can really occupy Nanyang, there is absolutely no problem in continuing the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, and they will definitely leave their names in history.

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said: "Okay, since all the ministers and families agree, then the cabinet will come up with an effective charter and strive to complete this plan within ten years and completely occupy the land of Nanyang.

"

It is absolutely impossible for such a huge plan to be completed in three or two years. Not to mention other things, just moving tens of millions of military households and civilians to Nanyang will take a long time.

The imperial court approved Li Huan's petition, and the cabinet came up with a charter at a very fast speed. At the same time, the news spread throughout the capital and then spread to the world.

In just one or two months, it can be said that almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that the Ming Dynasty was about to undergo a great change.

Countless scholars all over the world are cheering and encouraging, because the imperial court has decreed to open more Enke courses, and for ten consecutive years, it will open Enke courses every year to select qualified officials for our Nanyang Province.

What this means is clear to all scholars. For a time, scholars all over the world almost praised the emperor endlessly, praising Zhu Houzhao as the emperor of the ages, and the achievements he created were unparalleled by emperors in the past.

Time flashed to September of the eighth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty. Li Huan, who had been in charge of Nanyang for almost a year, now appeared at the port with Zhang Huai, Chen Ang and others, looking at the junction of sea and sky in the distance gradually emerging.

A dark shadow.

If you observe carefully, you will find that these black shadows are basically large ships. These large ships are scattered all over the sea at a glance, and there are probably no less than hundreds of them.

When he saw these large ships gradually becoming clearer, Zhang Huai, who was standing aside, couldn't help but said with a bit of surprise: "Here they come, the people sent by the imperial court have arrived!"

The Central Plains is thousands of miles away from Nanyang, and the court needs to raise ships, deploy officials, and gather people. It can be said that none of it can be done overnight, so when the first batch of officials and immigrated people arrived in Nanyang

By the time, half a year had passed.

However, the imperial court was also very courageous. It was said that it was thanks to Li Huan's decision to open the sea. It has been almost three years since the imperial court implemented the policy of opening the sea.

After nearly three years of development, Daming Sea Trade has made great progress. The development of sea trade has naturally led to an explosion of shipbuilding.

Large and small shipyards, not to mention those run by the imperial government, there are dozens of local shipyards. It can be said that dozens of large and small ships are launched every day in the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that when the Ming Dynasty recruited ships to move people to Southeast Asia, it did not encounter the problem of not having enough ships.

As the first ship sailed into the port, ships one after another entered the port.

Soon I saw a group of people disembarking from the boat, tidying up and heading towards Li Huanxing.

The leader looked to be in his thirties, and he looked extremely capable. He was wearing a third-grade official uniform. Behind him were a group of officials, big and small, also wearing official uniforms. However, it was obvious that these officials were all in that third-grade official uniform.

Headed by officials.

There were hundreds of people in the group. It could be said that there were almost no officials of seventh or eighth rank, at least officials of sixth rank or above. Obviously, the number of officials dispatched by the imperial court in the first batch was quite sufficient.

"Yan Song, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, pays homage to the Duke of Qin!"

"I'll wait for you to pay homage to the Duke!"

All the officials saluted Li Huan.

Li Huan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing Yan Song's words, and his eyes fell on Yan Song. Li Huan was no stranger to Yan Song. Although the other party had left a considerable reputation in the original history, history had already changed. Li Huan

I don't really care whether Yan Song will become a traitor in the future.

Li Huan glanced at the officials lightly, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite!"

In a manor, Li Huan held a banquet in honor of these officials who came from afar, and at the same time asked about the specific number and composition of the people sent by the imperial court this time.

In the living room, Yan Songzheng looked at Li Huan with a serious face and said: "This time the imperial court has transferred a total of 183 officials, with more than 1,000 large and small officials. In addition, there are also complete officials who came with the ship.

There are more than 28,000 military households in the three guard stations, and more than 13,000 civilians without any land!"

After speaking, Yan Song paused for a moment and then said: "In addition, there is also the Ming Navy fleet escorting all the way, with a total of twenty treasure ships, more than a hundred large and small auxiliary supply ships, and eight thousand elite infantry!"

Now that they have occupied the land of Nanyang, although Li Huan had brought a lot of elite troops before, but when he thought that there were only 10,000 to 20,000 Ming naval forces and infantry in the huge land of Nanyang, it was naturally impossible for the imperial court to send only ordinary people.

Instead of sending soldiers.

Li Huan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. To be honest, even Li Huan himself didn't expect that the imperial court would have such great courage.

Although in his opinion, what he mentioned in the memorial was absolutely beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, but whether the officials in the court would approve it is another matter.

Li Huan was originally mentally prepared for obstruction by the imperial court officials. If the imperial court obstructed him, he would return to the capital, personally preside over the matter, and carry it out no matter what.

But he didn't expect that the imperial court would give him such a big surprise.

If you do some calculations, this huge fleet actually brought a total of 50,000 to 60,000 people to the Ming Dynasty at one time. In this era, it is possible to transfer such a large population at one time. To be honest, I am afraid.

Apart from the powerful Ming Dynasty, there is really no other company.

However, it does seem a bit exaggerated to transfer a population of 50,000 to 60,000 at a time, but think about the scale of Zheng He's fleet in the Ming Dynasty a hundred years ago.

It is not that unusual to transfer tens of thousands of people at a time.

Li Huan couldn't help but smile on his face, looking at Yan Song and others thinking about the imperial decree that Yan Song had just submitted to him, which included the placement of these officials.

Contrary to Li Huan's expectation, Zhu Houzhao did not directly appoint officials like Yan Song and others, but directly transferred these officials to the South China Sea. As for how to place these people, it was completely left to Li Huan alone.

This means that Li Huan can arrange the whereabouts of these people at will. If Li Huan is so selfish, he may not be able to control Nanyang in his own hands through the arrangement of officials. It can be said that this is definitely the emperor's response to Li Huan.

Great trust.

Li Huan looked at the crowd, raised his eyebrows and said, "Yan Song!"

Yan Song heard this and said hurriedly: "The official is here!"

Li Huan chuckled and said: "I will order you to be the Chief Envoy of Nanyang Province. Within three days, I will set up the framework of the Chief Envoy's office for me. Are you sure?"

Although Yan Song said he had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel excited when he suddenly heard Li Huan appointed him.

Although he was said to have been demoted from a dignified official in the civil service to the chief envoy of a province in anyone's eyes, Yan Song didn't see it that way.

It can be said that the Nanyang Province will definitely become the top priority of the Ming Dynasty in the next few decades. As the first chief envoy of the Nanyang Province, if he can make political achievements in office, he will definitely be stable in the future.

Enter the cabinet and become an important minister of the cabinet.

Even Yan Song still remembered what the emperor personally summoned him before leaving. The emperor promised that as long as he could make political achievements, he would definitely have a place in the future cabinet.

If this were not the case, he was still the third-in-command of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so how could he have lowered his status to become a local official in Nanyang? In the final analysis, it was because the temptation given by the emperor was too great.

With various thoughts flashing through his mind, Yan Song respectfully saluted Li Huan and said, "I will obey your orders, and I will live up to your high expectations!"

Li Huan's eyes fell on Zhang Huai who was standing aside and said: "Zhang Huai obeys the order!"

Zhang Huai was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and stepped forward to salute Li Huan and said, "The general is here!"

Li Huan looked at Zhang Huai and said slowly: "I will appoint you as the Commander-in-Chief of Nanyang Province and establish the Yamen of the Commander-in-Chief of Nanyang Province. Do you dare to accept the order?"

Zhang Huai obviously did not expect that Li Huan would choose him as the commander of the Commander-in-Chief Division among the three yamen. For him, being the commander-in-chief in a place like Nanyang is definitely a high-ranking position.

, if you are promoted in the future, you can enter the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion, and may even become one of the Five Armed Forces Commanders in charge of a mansion.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Huai saluted Li Huan and said, "The last general takes command!"

Immediately, Li Huan glanced at an official in his thirties and said, "Yang Lie, you will be responsible for the establishment of the Division of Punishment and Investigation."

Yang Lie, who was originally just a censor, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then reacted and saluted Li Huan to accept his order.
