On the first day of April in the fourteenth year of Wanli, the emperor issued an edict to incorporate millions of miles of land in northern Xinjiang into the territory and divide it into provinces. From Tangnu Ulianghai in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty to the border of Beishan Province, millions of miles of fertile land were built together
Eight provinces.
To the north and south of Tianshan Mountain and to the southwest of Tangluling Mountains, Tingzhou Province was established, which governed Luntai, and the Anxi Governor's Office was established; in the northeast of Tingzhou, to the north of Tangluling Mountains, and to the south of Sayanling Mountains, Hang'ai Province was established, which governed Helin, and was established concurrently.
Anbei Governor's Mansion.
The vast area northeast of Sayan Mountains includes the entire Beihai and Lilingbei Province. The Eastern Route Army of the Han-Mongolian Allied Forces built a city called Chita as a provincial government. This is a complete map of the territory, because except for the Eastern Route Army, more than
There are no other Han people in millions of miles of land.
But the opening of the map was also the opening of frontiers. The establishment of Lingbei Province pushed the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty nearly five thousand miles to the north, and geographically and psychologically classified Mobei into the inland. The Mongolian princes immediately felt that they and
Ming Dynasty is a family.
Mobei is divided into two provinces, namely Mobei and Sushen. Mobei Province governs Kulun, where the central government sets up headquarters for ministers stationed in Mobei. Sushen Province can also be regarded as the beginning of the map, that is, north of Rehe and west of Beishan
, the vast area east of Mobei - the north has no borders or provinces for the time being.
Monan was divided into three, but only two new provinces were added, because Rehe had already been a province for several years. The first newly added province was Inner Mongolia, which governed naturalization; the second was Dongsheng, which governed Ulan - there is no such thing here.
In the city, the new governor who was also the deputy minister in Monan had to stay in the tent.
The subjects of the world are no longer interested in the emperor's illustrious martial arts. This emperor has begun to expand his territory since he ascended the throne. Everyone has been used to it. Looking back on the past two hundred years, the country has only abandoned the land. This period
The emperor came back with all his supplies - when he succeeded to the throne, he had two capitals and thirteen provinces. In just ten years, the territory expanded three times, becoming two capitals and thirty-five provinces. The northeast was expanded to four provinces, the northern Xinjiang was expanded to eight provinces, and Myanmar
Eight provinces will be expanded and Annan will be expanded to two provinces.
The strange thing is that when the Han Dynasty expanded its territory, the wealth of the world was wiped out; when the Tang Dynasty expanded its territory, the people were also worried about running out of money, but with wars every year, the people's lives seemed to be blooming. There are occasional people in the "Jingshi Daily"
The disaster in Shanxi was used as an argument to oppose the emperor's military use. However, Xinmin Daily and Nanjing Daily published many editorials, strongly advocating the theory of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce. These editorials relied on the emperor's edict to establish a province and repeatedly advocated the expansion of territory.
The reason why the country's national strength has not declined is because of the reforms that promoted industry and commerce.
Industry and commerce! Industry and commerce! In the 14th year of the Ming Dynasty, the capitalists, mainly clans and nobles, the new wealthy people who sold their land and switched to industry and commerce, and the wealthy businessmen who made their fortunes by selling new products finally began to feel proud and proud from the end of the Four Peoples.
They took to the public opinion front and clamored, demanding that the court issue new laws, one that could protect them.
"Xinmin Daily" published an editorial by Wang Shizhen, president of Beijing Normal University, saying: Since the Great Reform, His Majesty the Emperor has issued many edicts to encourage industry and commerce. Anyone who uses his power to seize people's property or bully the market will be deprived of titles and dismissed, or sentenced to exile.
However, the officials in the political affairs hall and the court turned a blind eye to the emperor's actions, resulting in the delay in the promulgation of laws to protect property. In the eleventh year of Wanli, newspapers have advocated the issuance of a "Regulations on Encouraging Business", but for more than three years, it has been repeatedly difficult to implement -
- It is the government's duty to protect the private property of the emperor's people. Why did the Gongun princes turn a deaf ear to it for so long?
Different from Wang Shizhen's rational appeal, He Xinyin's madness is scary. In the article "Analysis of "Scholars and People"", he was not only the first to propose that no one's personal freedom should be illegally imprisoned, nor any legal property
The view that no one should be illegally deprived points the finger at "the great harm to the world." His inspiring argument is as follows:
"A scholar is called a scholar based on his position, a scholar based on his talent and wisdom, a scholar based on his ability to do his job, or a scholar based on his official status as a minister, a doctor, or an official. "The Biography" says that people live in the world;
The people call them Meng, and they call them Meng. Note: When people change their minds and speak of Meng, they are talking about Meng without knowing anything. Is that so?"
"The so-called 'four people' are those who occupy positions of virtue and ability and are called scholars; those who clear up soil and plant grains are called farmers; those who work skillfully with their hands to create utensils are called workers; and those who exchange money and goods are called merchants. Now when talking about farmers, workers, and merchants, people are called people, and scholars are
Are they different from each other?"
"Mencius said: Those who do not have permanent property but have perseverance can only be qualified by scholars. If the people have no permanent property, they have no perseverance. Is this true?"
Asking questions first, and then finding out the contradictions in the questions that are difficult to explain, is He Xinyin's specialty. "In today's world, there are people with "eternal property", including clans, dignitaries, and officials. Are these all scholars? Is there really such a thing as "eternal property"?
'Either way? It's common for people to be convicted of crimes and lose their lives and families."
"Why? I have sinned against God and have nothing to pray for!"
Later, everyone who saw this article in the "Nanjing Daily" broke into a cold sweat, and at the same time scoffed at the rumors that Li Zhuowu was the "Common Prime Minister" and the "Emperor's Mouthpiece" - this pointed the finger at the Emperor's throat.
Come on. Whoever said that Li Zhuowu and the emperor wear the same pair of trousers, I will eat this newspaper!
"Mr. Fushan said: The world, including the emperor, is all people! All the people are waiting to be slaughtered! Why? The emperor is outside the law; the people are outside; the virtue is outside the heaven.
Those who fake war!"
...
Gu Chen
"Heaven has established the world to make friends. What is private is the heart of man. People must have selfishness and then their heart will be seen. The permanent property is not a well field, not a farmland, not a house of five acres, or a field of a hundred acres. I am the one who owns the land and the house.
It exists of its own accord; whatever is the time of Heaven, Heaven itself will provide it; I have learned the meaning of filial piety and brotherhood myself - how can the Emperor's power add to me? And those who add the Emperor's power to me are just those who wish to serve one person in the world!"
"In other words, you, father, and parents, give me your essence and blood; what do you give me, your king? And I serve you, my wealth and my body!"
"It may be said that the court protects the country and the people; if we talk about it this way, the government is subordinate to the people! I use my wealth and goods, but Jia Ru fights with me - why should I seize my wealth and harm my life? These are not bandits.
what?"
...
"But this body cannot be imprisoned unless it is a crime, and the intruder is the way of heaven; private property cannot be deprived of anyone who is in line with the laws of heaven and the human heart!"
...
"Fu Shan's theory is the opinion of one family."
In the pre-dawn night of Nanjing, Wang Daokun's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, and his hand holding the newspaper was shaking. He opened his mouth wide, and made a meaningless "hehe" sound in his throat.
Under the bright light of the glass oil lamp, Li Zhuowu's face was also pale. His hand holding the tea cup was shaking at a very high frequency like Wang Daokun's. The sky-blue Ru kiln tea cup collided with the tray, making a ding-ding sound, and Wang Daokun made a ding-ding sound.
The sounds complement each other interestingly.
Wang Daokun took deep breaths continuously and finally suppressed his emotions. He said hoarsely: "Li Zhuowu! Are you going to rebel?"
When Li Zhi asked, his face actually turned a little red. He put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile: "How dare a lunatic write, but I dare not post it? Haha - this is mine
There’s no place to put his face. Besides, it’s just nonsense for him, but there’s nothing wrong with what he wrote, right?”
Wang Daokun glared at Li Zhi angrily. "When the prison comes, how can everyone in this newspaper office be held responsible?"
Li Zhi touched his nose, then stroked the few remaining goatee, and said: "The last sentence, 'The words of husband Shan, the opinions of the whole family' were added by me——"
Just when Wang Daokun was about to speak, the door to the editor-in-chief's office was slammed open, and Feng Bangning, the proprietor of Nanjing Daily, rushed in sweating profusely. Seeing that Wang Daokun was holding a proof copy of the newspaper in his hand, he let out a sigh of relief and then
After rolling his eyes, his body went limp and fell to the ground.
Wang Daokun glanced at Li Zhi, who was looking complex and pale, threw the samples in his hand aside, and bent down to help Feng Bangning, who had fainted on the ground. Li Zhi, who was sitting behind the case, rubbed his red eyes, picked up the cold tea on the table, and
He walked over and splashed Feng Bangning in the face.
Feng Bangning was agitated and woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at Wang Daokun and then at Li Zhi. His eye circles turned red, and he burst into tears and said, "Brother, please forgive me. How many times is this this year? I'm going to go."
There are old people and young people, please be merciful and let me go——"
As he spoke, he crawled forward like a fat white bean bug, hugged Li Zhi's thigh, and wiped his face with the hem of his silk clothes.
Li Zhi frowned and said, "Get up quickly. How can you behave like this?"
"If you don't withdraw the manuscript, I will never get up!"
