After the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, it stands to reason that history has changed. Although there is no real peace in the Ming Dynasty, the situation is very good. As long as we survive the Little Ice Age and implement reasonable reforms, our national strength will definitely flourish.
"Could it be that the problem of civil unrest within the country has been resolved?"
"Or it's a matter of time."
Jiang Fan thought of several possibilities.
Bao Ming destroyed Jin. Now that Hou Jin has been destroyed, all that is left is Bao Ming.
However, there is no clear prompt from the system for how long and to what extent it should be maintained!
It is impossible to protect the Ming Dynasty for a hundred or two hundred years, or to lead the Ming army to conquer the world and complete global unification!
Or are there other forces that can threaten the stability of Ming Dynasty?
"Forget it, let's stabilize the current situation first."
While Jiang Fan was thinking about it, the imperial envoy from Kyoto came to deliver an order announcing Jiang Fan's return to the capital.
Jiang Fan was a little surprised by this news.
After seeing off the imperial envoy, Jiang Fan asked people to find Lu Wenzhao.
"Sir, I wonder what your instructions are for calling me back this time?" Lu Wenzhao saw Jiang Fan staring ahead expressionlessly and did not dare to ask any more questions.
"The emperor has called me back to Beijing, and I will leave the affairs of Liaodong to you for the time being."
Jiang Fan thought for a while and said: "When you are in doubt, you can ask General Sun and He."
When Lu Wenzhao heard this, he was moved: "Master Jiang, take care, I will definitely live up to your trust."
"In addition, I would like to order you to go down and cut off the braids of the people of the Later Jin Dynasty. The new people will have a new look. If you are stubborn, you can do whatever you want."
Jiang Fan patted him on the shoulder.
The pigtails of the people of the Later Jin Dynasty were completely inconsistent with Jiang Fan's aesthetics. Coupled with the bloody baptism of "keep your head but not your hair" in history, Jiang Fan planned to treat others in his own way.
Cutting off the golden people's braids will also allow them to better understand the reality and stop having any illusions about Houjin's blessing.
As for whether it would trigger a rebellious mood, Jiang Fan didn't care. Those who want to achieve big things don't stick to trivial matters.
If you have too many worries, you will only be tied up and can't do anything!
"I understand the humble position."
Lu Wenzhao resigned, returned to his room, and began to plan.
Controlling Liaodong is a lucrative job. For Lu Wenzhao, who is very obsessed with power, this is the opportunity he dreams of.
As long as he does well, he will have enough capital for promotion.
As for the situation in Mongolia and North Korea, Jiang Fan has firmly controlled it. As long as Lu Wenzhao divides, draws together, and suppresses those forces according to the plan he made before, and cooperates with the power of Jin Yiwei, everything will fall into place.
Thinking of this, Lu Wenzhao secretly made up his mind to stabilize Liaodong as soon as possible!
Early the next morning, Jiang Fan, who received the transfer order, took his two personal guards, Qinglong, Baihu and Nu Qingji, on his way back to Beijing.
After fighting for nearly a month, Jiang Fan's strength has increased by one point, but he still has not broken through to the sixth level of "The Indestructible Boy Skill".
Now that I have free time, I can concentrate on practicing, stabilizing my cultivation, and regulating my state of mind at the same time.
Walking on the vast grassland, Jiang Fan galloped his horse and whipped his horse, recalling the years of fighting on the battlefield and humming a tune.
"Don't hesitate
Flying high, breaking through the clouds and smoke, among thousands of rivers and mountains
Eat frost and drink snow, forge it for ten years, sharpen a sword
Look at me, I'm the master of one horse, I dare to teach thousands of people how to be beautiful
Feihong rises, steps across the glacier, and cuts through the nine days with sharp edges
Lingshuang is proud of the snow. If you don’t see me, it’s cold at high places.
Follow me and take the lead, the wind blows and the eastern flag shines brightly..."
Jiang Fan sang a ditty, his voice melodious and melodious, with a sense of heroism and freedom.
Although the lyrics of this song are simple, it is one of his favorite songs.
Qinglong and Baihu followed behind, humming along.
The Angry Chicken flew into the air and croaked at the sky, looking very happy.
Jiang Fan ignored it.
Today's Nuqing Chicken has grown even more. Standing on the ground, it is nearly 1.5 meters tall. Its colorful feathers exude a metallic luster, making it look extremely conspicuous.
Gu Ti
When many people first see the Angry Rooster in the sky, they may even think it is a phoenix with an unusually powerful horse, and regard it as auspicious.
Along the way, Jiang Fan sang and walked, and before he knew it, he arrived at Zhongqiansuo City outside Shanhaiguan.
After approaching the town, Jiang Fan put the Angry Chicken into his pouch.
In the city, Jiang Fan could see many refugees on both sides of the road. They were all half-clothed, their faces were sallow, and they were all worried and miserable.
At Jiang Fan's signal, Qinglong stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
After a while, Qinglong came back and reported: "Sir, these refugees escaped from northern Shaanxi."
"Northern Shaanxi?"
When Jiang Fan heard this, his heart moved.
The Shaanxi Wang Er Rebellion was the largest rebellion in the late Ming Dynasty. It lasted for 31 years from the seventh year of Tianqi to the fifteenth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty.
It was precisely because of this large-scale peasant uprising that it held back most of the military and financial resources of the Ming Dynasty, which gave the Hou Jin Dynasty in Liaodong an opportunity to seize control of the Central Plains.
Jiang Fan's original advice to Zhu Youxiao was to deal with the outside world first.
Zhu Youxiao also agreed to distribute disaster relief food and ordered local and state governments to rescue refugees and stabilize people's morale.
The initial effect was indeed pretty good.
But the human heart is like an abyss and will never be satisfied.
Although most disaster victims want to live a peaceful life, there are always some who are unwilling to be ordinary.
Especially those rebel generals who are used to being bandits, often slaughtering large households, eating meat and drinking, sleeping with other people's wives, and are used to doing whatever they want. How can they endure the hard life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset again?
It was due to the instigation of these people that many people who had been recruited began to rebel again, leading to rampant thieves in many places. Many people did not want to associate with the rebels, so they began to flee and became refugees.
In order to appease the people, the imperial court resettled a large number of refugees outside the border.
In the past, the border gates were plundered by the Hou Jin all the year round, and the population dropped sharply. Now that the Hou Jin Dynasty has been destroyed, the people can be settled outside the border gates and promote exchanges between Manchu and Han Dynasties.
However, there are border troops stationed here, and the military power is at its peak, so no one dares to test their front.
If you place the refugees here, you won't be afraid of them causing chaos.
The scale of the rebels in the Ming Dynasty is not large at present. Most of them are small groups committing crimes. Coupled with the active encirclement and suppression by the local government, they have not yet become a phenomenon.
But there are also local officials who conceal it and fail to report it, causing the situation to escalate!
For today's Ming Dynasty, it is actually not difficult to quell the chaos. The Hou Jin Dynasty has been destroyed by Jiang Fan, and now it has become the Liaodong Province of the Ming Dynasty.
Without foreign aggression, efforts can be directed to one place, and suppressing civil unrest will naturally be much easier.
However, the most urgent task now is to solve the food shortage problem, otherwise the people will not be able to survive and will still rebel!
In fact, after two purges of officials and wealthy businessmen, Ming Dynasty is now not short of money, but of food.
Jiang Fan predicts that it will take a year or two for high-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes to mature in large quantities. By then, the problem can be fundamentally solved.
There are only two ways to solve the current situation in Ming Dynasty.
One is to invade other countries and obtain supplies like Hou Jin.
The second is foreign trade, obtaining goods through various channels.
But neither of these is that simple.
Waging foreign wars transfers harm to the people of other countries. Jiang Fan is good at fighting, but not warlike.
The reason for attacking Hou Jin was that the other party invaded first. Due to geographical reasons, it was difficult for Ming and Hou Jin to coexist. They could only conquer each other. The war would not subside until one side unified.
Now that Manchu and Han are the same country, they can exchange what they need, and both sides can benefit from each other, but it is still not enough.
Although foreign trade is feasible, it is very risky.
Merchant ships going out to sea will not only encounter bad weather, but also rampant pirates, Japanese pirates, etc.
Once the ship sinks or is damaged, the losses will be huge.
Thinking quickly, Jiang Fan said to Qinglong: "Go to the Yamen and ask the local magistrate to open a warehouse to release grain and help the victims. These people came here because they trust the imperial court. We cannot let them feel cold."
"yes."
Qinglong took the order and left.
Jiang Fan sighed slightly, sometimes a person's power is really weak, and all he can do is what he can do.
I just hope I can help more people get through this difficult time.
At the same time, I hate those who take advantage of disaster victims for personal gain.
Not only the mob, but also the officials who do nothing, because of the interests involved, make the people's livelihood miserable, and man-made disasters are worse than natural disasters!
