As early as in the southwest, Zhu Yongxing had already noticed the popularity of tobacco, and some ethnic minorities especially liked to "eat cigarettes." () Since it was difficult to ban it, Zhu Yongxing discussed the matter with officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household, and decided to monopolize it and experiment with manufacturing it.
Possibility of rolling cigarettes.
Up to now, the "Tobacco Monopoly Regulations" have been formulated and will be promulgated and implemented soon. Although the cigarette rolling machines are temporarily unsatisfactory, the output is too low, and the cost is too high. However, after being roasted, sprayed with wine, added with honey, and flavored
However, guillotine cut tobacco came into being. It was first introduced as a reward product in the army and was immediately well received.
Zhu Yongxing knew about the development and popularity of tobacco in the world, and also knew that it would become a major tax source for the country, but he still restrainedly stipulated tobacco planting areas and limited the planting area. The first ones to be approved were Yunnan and Hubei.
The contradiction between cash crops and food crops always exists. This depends on the country's macro-control and guidance, and it is best not to have rigid regulations. The bustling world is all for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. If it is profitable,
Naturally, the people flocked to it, and the prohibition continued. If growing tobacco can make huge profits, some people will naturally follow suit. This will require different treatment in tax collection and taxation. If the country gains more, it can also curb the people's desire to grow tobacco.
Duan Wan'er had been paying attention to Zhu Yongxing's expressions and actions. Seeing him looking at the cigarette can, he hurriedly stepped forward to take out one, put on the silver cigarette holder, and presented it to Zhu Yongxing with both hands.
"Haha." Zhu Yongxing didn't want to go against her attentiveness, so he took the cigarette, lit it, and smoked slowly.
When he reaches Zhu Yongxing's position, it is impossible to prevent others from guessing the "holy intention". Even Duan Wan'er is not exempt from vulgarity, not to mention those officials. This has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it is easy to fall into flattery and not know why; it is advantageous.
, that is, some things do not require laws, as long as Zhu Yongxing makes a gesture, the following will naturally follow and follow suit.
Taking foot binding and foot release as an example, Zhu Yongxing's policy gave appropriate rewards, but it was not as effective as the outside world's rumor that "the emperor only likes natural feet, and if he sees a woman with bound feet, he will be unhappy and extremely disgusted."
If you want to have a smooth official career, how can you not take the emperor's taboos and preferences into consideration? The concubines in the palace and the female palaces are all talented, even the maids from Jiangnan later recruited, they are all satisfied, otherwise they will not be hired. Therefore,
After that, the imperial concubine must also hate foot binding. If there is a chance to see Tianyan in the future, or to meet the queen or the imperial concubine, wouldn't the official family members who have bound feet cause trouble for themselves?
From the officialdom to the people, that is, from top to bottom. Although there is no way to strictly prohibit it, the holy will is obvious. The trend cannot be changed suddenly, but it is gradually becoming popular. Although there are still many pedantic gentry who still adhere to the tradition and feel that
Women have beautiful little feet, and they walk like willows swaying in the wind. They are very graceful and graceful. However, farmers and merchants have a lot to do with their families. Firstly, it is convenient for production and life. Secondly, merchants are the best at adapting to the wind.
rudder.
When a woman with bound feet becomes a rare animal, attracts attention in front of people, and arouses discussion, then it is a big deal. Moreover, if Zhu Yongxing succeeds in the Northern Expedition, he will issue a decree strictly prohibiting foot binding, and violators will be exiled and punished.
What kind of thing? Taking disability and deformity as beauty. He also summarized the "four beauties" (shape, quality, posture, spirit) and "three beauties" (fat, soft, beautiful) of small feet, and even summarized how to play with small feet.
There are as many as forty-eight kinds, which is really abnormal.
But what are these forty-eight ways to play? Zhu Yongxing exhaled a puff of smoke and lamented his lack of imagination. He couldn't help but glance at Duan Wan'er's feet. When he raised his head, he faced Duan Wan'er's confused and confused figure.
Eyes, Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but smile.
………………
Above the side hall, servants and maids were flowing in an endless stream, bringing meals to the general, and the sounds of silk and bamboo orchestral music sounded one after another.
"The Holy Majesty has spoken: You generals have worked hard and made great achievements. Now that you have returned to Beijing to report on your duties, and there are no family members in Beijing, you must have a good meal and drink. This will live up to your loyalty." Pi Xiong, deputy director of the General Staff Department, said loudly: "
In order to prevent you from being constrained by etiquette and eating uncomfortably, Your Majesty will summon you after the banquet."
Ma Weixing, Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, Wei Junzhong, Li Sixing, Ma Zide and others all stood up and listened carefully when he relayed Zhu Yongxing's words. When he finished speaking, everyone was moved and shouted long live the mountain. After thanking Zhu Yongxing for his kindness, he
We sat down to eat again. However, everyone ate very politely and did not dare to drink too much wine, for fear that they would become dizzy and say something bad.
After these generals reported their duties, they had to go back to their respective stations to prepare for war. Although there may not be any major wars this year, small battles are inevitable. When Zhu Yongxing ascended the throne, his status was very different. He summoned one to show his favor, and the other was to explain clearly what happened this year.
Grand strategy allows all military generals to have a clear idea.
"Your Majesty is afraid that you may be cautious, so you haven't come in person, so why can't you let go?" Pixiong chewed a chicken leg, the soup dripping, and a lot of it was stained on his beard. He smiled and raised a glass to drink, "Your Majesty.
I have always been frugal, so it’s rare that I have a big banquet today. Warriors are forthright and forthright, but don’t imitate those scholars who pretend to be polite!"
"Your Majesty is right, long live for your understanding, let's not live up to the divine grace!" The Syrian stallion Weixing laughed, rolled up his sleeves, and was no longer restrained.
Pingbei Hou Xia Guo met his father-in-law in the future and knew that he was avoiding suspicion. He wanted to ask about the operational details of Dang Shuo's army being transferred to Chongming. He opened his mouth but swallowed it.
Since the Dangshuo army surrendered, it has performed well in several battles. It started from Guizhou, moved to Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, and fought all the way to Jiangnan. During this period, some of the troops were transferred and replenished, and their equipment was also gradually replaced.
The tactics are also changing. Up to now, many old generals of the Wu army have been transferred, such as Wang Fuchen, Gao Dejie and others, and many new generals have also filled in. The Dangshuo army has actually become more and more separated from the old Wu army.
Preparation and composition.
This is also what it should be. Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu can see it clearly, and Wu Sangui can also explain it clearly. Only in this way can the Dangshuo Army truly belong to the Ming Army. If it is still branded as the Wu Army, it will still be the old general of the Wu Army.
If you control the army, you will not only lose trust, but will also suffer unexpected disasters.
"This is not a time when the country is weak and the king is cowardly, and there is no room for warlords in feudal towns! It is possible to split the soil and separate the grass, but it is not in China. The Holy Spirit is ambitious, and it is inevitable to open up territories and expand the territory. Now let's make achievements,
In the future, I might be able to become a king overseas!"
Prime Minister Xia Guo didn't quite understand what his father-in-law said. Wu Sangui probably didn't know very well what the "federal" system that Zhu Yongxing occasionally mentioned was exactly, but based on his understanding, he felt that after Zhu Yongxing unified China, he would definitely turn to Spain.
, the Dutch went to war to seize the land they occupied and the gold and silver treasures they plundered. Because Zhu Yongxing mentioned Luzon more than once, he was worried about the Spanish massacre of Chinese people, and he coveted the wealth plundered by the Spanish. For Luzon
Song's mineral resources are salivating.
The longer he stayed at the General Staff Headquarters and the more opportunities he had to contact Zhu Yongxing, the more awe-struck Wu Sangui became, and it was difficult for him to have any dissent. Zhu Yongxing's knowledge, vision, and thinking were definitely not that of Wu Sangui, an ancient man.
can be understood.
Although Zhu Yongxing's real intention was not to divide the land and divide the land, but if he really captured a large area of overseas land and managed the territory thousands of miles away, it might be wiser and more correct to implement a "federal" or "confederal" system.
choose.
He was not the only one who felt similar or similar to Wu Sangui. After Zhu Yongxing forced the young officers at the General Staff Headquarters to supplement their knowledge of international geography, they were also shocked by the size of the world and how vast the country's development space would be in the future.
There is also Kuang Guo Gong Pi Xiong. He started his career in the army. During the Chongzhen period, he was promoted to the deputy general of the reinforcements and suppression soldiers. During the Hongguang period, he was promoted to the governor Qianshi and served as the general military officer. During the Yongli period, he was named Kuang Guo Gong. Through the three emperors, Pi Xiong cannot say who he is most loyal to.
. Loyal to the Ming Dynasty or more accurately. Zhaowu Dynasty Yongli. After all, this is an internal matter of the Zhu family, and it has the approval and support of the vast majority of civil servants and generals. Even King Lu, who has a closer bloodline, supports it, and he has no objection.
reasons.
An emperor who is as wise as Taizu, a sage who can revive the Ming Dynasty, and a hero who can drive out the Tartars. With these dazzling auras, Zhu Yongxing ascends the throne, which is really what people want and the trend of the times. A coward, timid.
It is not difficult to accept the responsibility of running away from the emperor and disappointing people, being forgotten, and abandoning them.
"If the Holy One can drive out the Tartars, revive China, and treat the Emperor well, it will be a good story." After Kuang Guo Gong Pixiong turned his loyalty chain to Zhu Yongxing, he actually had similar expectations to Jin Wang Li Ding. This can be regarded as self-consolation!
By now, Kuang Guogong Pixiong has learned about the entire military plan of the Ming army and the full strength of the Ming army. He feels that the recovery of China is only a matter of time, as long as nothing happens to Zhu Yongxing. Moreover, Zhu Yongxing's achievements surpass those of Taizu and Chengzu.
It is also enough to look forward to.
"If I can see the success of the Northern Expedition in my lifetime, I will die without regrets! The country will continue to prosper, and God will support the Ming Dynasty!" Whenever Kuang Guo Gong Pixiong thinks of the most critical moments, he can't help but sigh. He is over eighty years old.
, at that time, did you ever think that such a day would come?
Li Sixing, the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty, and Ma Zide, the uncle of Yiguo, and Jingshuo, the uncle of Wei Junzhong, were of the same age, and each united the army. They were the leaders of the younger generation, and they got along well with each other. He did not have a deep affection for Yongli as his father did. On the contrary, he
But he was very troubled by his status as the heir apparent, as he seemed to be in a high position by relying on shadow. Therefore, he was very grateful to Zhu Yongxing for giving him the opportunity to prove his ability, and he firmly grasped it and tried his best to win Zhu Yongxing's trust with practical actions.
.
Young people have their own ambitions and arrogance, and long for a space to express themselves freely. Zhu Yongxing gave them trust and opportunities, and showed them a broader world and a brighter future.
"The large-scale Northern Expedition should be carried out next year." Ma Zide whispered his conjecture, "With the kindness of the Holy One, how can he not comfort the people? One of the food and grass supplies needed by the army is that the north is dilapidated and the people are in dire straits. The Holy One will definitely care for the people.
, accumulate and accumulate to provide for the needs of the people.”
"I think so too." Wei Junzhong smiled faintly and said: "There are also cavalry. The Holy Father has expressed worries many times. We will form hussars in Sichuan and dragon cavalry in each army. It is estimated that they will not be fully ready until next year."
"Perhaps we can build a large car camp and follow the method of Emperor Gaozu's Northern Expedition." After speaking, Li Sixing shook his head and said: "The speed is still difficult to match the cavalry. If the infantry is against the cavalry, we are not afraid of him fighting openly in the field, but we are afraid that he will continue to harass us."
"The North is different from the South. It has to do with the topography, but also factors such as people's support and resources have to be taken into consideration." Ma Zide showed a hint of worry on his face, "I'm afraid it will be very difficult to raise food and grass supplies on the spot. This food road and pay road will require
We will do our best to ensure it. But if we are in the hinterland and there is no water transportation, it will be very difficult!"
"That's why we decided on the strategy of 'arching'!" Although Kuang Guo's male Xiong is old, he has a sharp ear and eyes. He can hear the younger generation's words clearly and can't help but reveal a few things in advance, "From now until next spring, we will fight against the enemy.
All the ministries in contact must be actively carried out to continuously eliminate the Qing army and continuously compress the enemy-occupied areas. Specific explanations will be given in the past two days at the Ministry of War, so you should listen carefully and study!"
Seeing that Duke Kuang Guo only said these few words, he started to lie again. Everyone here was expecting it, but they couldn't keep asking more questions, so they had to continue eating, but their thoughts flew away.
The so-called "arch" includes short assaults, piecemeal attacks, and other tactics. Its main purpose is to carry out military operations within a relatively short distance to avoid the danger of being cut off by the enemy's food routes and retreat routes due to long drives.
Expanding the Guangfu area and reducing the enemy-occupied area is one of the goals; destroying and exhausting the enemy's effective forces is another goal; seizing land and relocating people will reduce the number of people in the Manchu-controlled areas, destroying their ability to collect money and grain, and to enslave the people.
The population base is the third purpose.
Moreover, Shandong will soon become the main direction of military deployment, and the military operations of other ministries will also play a role in supporting and containing.
After drinking and eating, and after washing up, the guards went to report to Zhu Yongxing. The people were led by the palace servants and went to the main hall to wait. After a short time, the guards turned around again and said that the emperor would summon him in the imperial garden instead, and they were led away by the palace servants.
.
Everyone kept moving forward, with endless pavilions along the way. The streams were flowing, the flowers and trees were lush, the fragrance of flowers, the chirping of birds, and the sound of water made people feel extremely refreshing. They walked zigzag in the rockery and looked at the scenery in the garden. Everyone was excited.
I feel refreshed.
There is a bamboo forest in front of you, and you can walk on the path in the forest. The old yellow bamboos and the tender green new bamboos complement each other and are extremely beautiful. There are also a few square bamboos that were imported from Guangxi in the previous garden. They look really awesome.
interesting.
When they reached the depths of the bamboo forest, a small palace appeared in front of them. The palace attendants led everyone inside one by one. When everyone's eyes adjusted to the light in the palace, they saw Zhu Yongxing sitting in the middle of the palace, followed by Wu Sangui and two military officers.
.At this moment, Kuang Guogong Pi Xiong took the lead. Everyone signed up loudly and prepared to kneel down and salute.
"You can meet me with a military salute." Zhu Yongxing smiled, waved his hand, and said, "I will give you a seat and serve you tea."
Everyone spared the need to kneel down, but still felt a little uneasy. They sat down awkwardly and cautiously, looking at their noses and mouths, all in silence.
"I'm summoning you in the main hall. I'm afraid you might feel cramped. You can relax a little when you get here." Zhu Yongxing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic in my heart, but I don't care about the superficial etiquette."
"Your Majesty, this ceremony cannot be abolished." Wu Sangui said from the side: "Although Your Majesty is kind, how can an official not know the importance?"
Zhu Yongxing secretly glanced at the historian next to him. This guy was brushing his brushes a little, making his whole body uncomfortable.
Daily Notes are records of the words and deeds of emperors in ancient my country. Gu Yanwu said in "Rizhilu": "In ancient times, rulers recorded events on the left and recorded words on the right, so they guarded against mistakes and showed them to the queen. The duty of notes was "Come on." Since the Han Dynasty, almost all emperors of all dynasties have written notes on their daily lives, but few have been handed down. This is mainly because they are generally not circulated and are only used as one of the basic materials for compiling the history of the country.
The officials responsible for repairing the daily notes were accompanying the emperor in various public activities, so the content recorded in the daily notes was very extensive, including all kinds of words and deeds in addition to the private life in the emperor's palace. Fortunately, Zhu Yongxing did not pay attention to private life.
It can be tolerated. Otherwise, when there are people outside who are listening and taking notes during sexual intercourse, who would be interested?
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yongxing pointed at Li Sixing, Wei Junzhong and Ma Zide, and said with a smile: "It's time for you three to resolve life-long matters. Only when you have a good wife and a family can you be considered a real man. Well.
, if there is someone you like, even if you have your feet bound, it won’t be a big deal if you let go. Don’t worry about seeing the person you like because of my likes and dislikes. Hmm? Whoever has this plan recently, please don’t do it secretly!”
Li Sixing and the other three looked at each other, shaking their heads and laughing in unison.
"Your Majesty, this Xiongnu, no, the Tartars have not been exterminated, so why do they want to be home?" Ma Zide stood up and bowed to answer.
"Then I have a wife and a daughter, but that's not right?" Zhu Yongxing pressed his hand, motioned Ma Zide to sit down, and said with a smile: "Cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. Having a harmonious family does not necessarily mean it is a drag.
It doesn’t necessarily mean that you don’t have great ambitions. If you have a country, you also have a family. If you don’t have many families, how can you have a country?”
"I want to make achievements first and then get married." Li Sixing stood up and said, "Soldiers fight for the country and have no fixed place to live. If we get married, it will be inconvenient."
"There is some truth in what he said." Zhu Yongxing nodded, motioned for Li Sixing to sit down, and then said to the Duke of Xu, Ma Weixing, and others: "Rong Ma Ruan, Duke of Xu, Marquis of Pingbei, Marquis of Jingbei, you guys with families
, it is indeed harder than young people like them!"
"Driving away the Tartars and being loyal to the country, I dare not mention the hard work." Ma Weixing and others quickly stood up and answered respectfully.
"Sit down, sit down, I have to stand up now, I can't talk anymore." Zhu Yongxing was a little helpless and said: "Today's summons is just to meet with the ministers and talk some gossip. The military arrangements will be made in the next two days.
The Ministry of War explained that this is just gossip, but it cannot be separated from the military. Please tell me how to pay attention to the battle in the north!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
