Chapter 15 Chapter 86 Planting the Seed

Zhu Di left Jinan and went to Yanjing. Returning to the hometown where he has lived for more than 20 years, Zhu Di is very happy and very interested.It was supposed to go straight to the palace, but wherever Zhu Dixing arrived, he looked everywhere. Accompanied by Qiu Fu, Luo Qian and other officials, he wandered around the streets of Beiping for a long time. Seeing that the streets of Yanjing are much wider, and there are rows of houses, many houses have been built in many areas that were empty at that time.In the streets and alleys, Goulan tiles, taverns and teahouses also sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The whole Yanjing City had a new look and became more prosperous. Zhu Di was very happy.

He smiled at Qiu Fu and the others and said: When I was in the north, Beiping's wealth and population were looted by the Yuan people when they fled north, and it was extremely depressed.After more than 20 years of construction, it has recovered, but it has never had the prosperity it is today.Later, it was difficult for Zhenjing to raise troops, Yanjing City suffered from repeated disasters, and the market was depressed again. After only two years, it became as prosperous as it is today. Qiu Fu hurriedly said: "The emperor's praise, this is not the credit of the old officials and others."Ever since the emperor promoted Beiping to be Yanjing, set up a branch, and moved residents from all over the country to fill the population of Yanjing, Yanjing began to regain its prosperity and become what it is today.The old minister is just a rough man, he has no other skills except training soldiers and fighting wars.Even if it is hard work to govern the place, that is the skill of Lord Luo and other civil servants!

Luo Qian smiled and waved his hands, humbly while busy. The four seasons are distinct in the north, and the air is not as humid as in the south. Zhu Di became a fan of Beiping before he was a weak crown. He has lived here longer than in his hometown, and he is very adaptable to the northern climate.As soon as he got here, he felt refreshed and energetic, and he was more comfortable than in the south. He didn't want to go back and rest for a while, so he just wandered the streets, pointing and laughing from time to time. As he was walking, Zhu Di suddenly remembered something, so he asked Qiu Fu, "I heard that Yang Xu has brought all the captured Tazi soldiers to Yanjing City?"

Qiu Fu glanced at Luo Qian quickly, and replied: Yes!Tens of thousands of captured soldiers, and dozens of captured generals, are now being held in the barracks in the suburbs of Beijing, and they will be resettled only after offering the prisoners to the emperor.Can the emperor go and see them? Zhu Di was really interested to take a look, but now that he is the emperor, he has his own rules in every action. If he condescends to go to the barracks to watch the captives with great interest, the officials who accompanied him and Yanjing will probably have to do it again. The chatter was over, I couldn't help shaking my head and said with a smile: I won't go, when Yang Xu arrives in Yanjing to present the prisoners, I will naturally be able to see them.Well, what are you going to do with these captives?

Luo Yu then stepped forward and said: "Back to the emperor, as for the captive generals, they should be imprisoned according to the court law, and those who should be decapitated should be decapitated."As for those captured soldiers, the officials and others planned to disperse them and register them as citizens according to the Liaodong example.Those who were the people of Ming Dynasty at the beginning must have been very restless, but the local government carefully supervised them. After a long time, they took root and naturally no longer have any objections. Zhu Di nodded again and again: Good!This method is very good!Look at the people in the city of Yanjing, Zhang Wang, Li Zhao, from all over the world, their ancestors are not the remnants of Xianbei, Xiongnu, Khitan, Mongolian, Jurchen, and Bohai ethnic groups. , Changed the Han surname, was born in a Han area, and is now a Han Chinese.

In the whole world, is it the land of the king?On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers.I own the world, and my heart should be as big as the world. If I can't tolerate them, how can they be my people willingly? Let's put it like this, it's a good way to deal with it!Ha ha, this Yang Xu, I really underestimated him, Yun Wen Yun Wu, is really my best help. Luo Qi said with a smile: What the emperor said is that Yang Xu is indeed a minister of the court.I dare not lie to the emperor. Yang Xu is still young, and the Liaodong tribes live together, and there are powerful enemies outside. The situation is very complicated. Those who are proficient in literature but not good at martial arts will not be able to rule Liaodong!If you are only good at martial arts but not proficient in literature, you will also return home without a feather.When the emperor first sent Yang Xu to explore Liaodong, the subject was very worried, but unexpectedly the emperor's eyes were as bright as a torch, and the subject was convinced!

Zhu Di laughed out loud. Chen Shou, who participated in politics in Yanjing, said with a smile: "The officials in Yanjing, big and small, know Yang Xu's every move in Liaodong the most, so they are the most admired.After Yang Xu arrived in Liaodong, the first thing he did was not to defend against foreign captives, but to vigorously develop the economy of Liaodong, open up businesses, reclaim land, and develop industry and animal husbandry. ! Because of this united will, the two battles against Tatar, and the two battles won great victories. The various ethnic groups in Liaodong who belonged to our Ming Dynasty, including the Wuliangha Sanwei, were originally rebellious and often caused troubles, which caused the local officials very headaches. Now they are very disciplined.Yang Xu's strategy in Eastern Liaodong first benefited the people with the economy and won the hearts of the people; then he defeated the Tatars in two wars, beheaded the son of the Tatar grand master Arutai, and established his military prestige; he re-established the shogunate officials to control his current government. Liaodong is very different from before, and now Liaodong is completely in the hands of the imperial court.

Zhu Di nodded slightly, but did not speak. Zhang Lingyi, the servant of Yanjing’s office, saw the emperor’s praise for Fu Guogong, and he also happily joked: The emperor praised Yanjing for its great changes and a new look. In fact, the changes here are far from the rapid changes in Liaodong. Now In Liaodong, martial arts were flourishing and culture and education were popular.Those who are military generals are all looking forward to making military exploits for the court and enforcing borders and lands; but the leaders of various clans send their children to government schools to be educated by the kingly way.Liaodong soldiers and civilians respected and obeyed Yang Xu, and responded to the great situation of Yun Cong, which no one could do before!

Zhu Di snorted, Yan Jingxing, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, said with a bright smile: "My minister also remembered one thing. Yang Xu proclaimed Fu Liaodong, and his reputation spread far and wide. Seeing this situation, those tribes who originally surrendered to North Korea all surrendered to him." North Korea was angry with me, and I sent envoys to Liaodong many times to negotiate with Yang Xu, but they all hit a soft nail and went back Before he finished speaking, someone next to him tugged on his sleeve, Zeng Liang immediately shut up if he sensed it. Zhu Di glanced at him, smiled faintly, and said, "Okay, I'm a little tired, let's go back to the palace and have a rest."

Zhu Di's camp was the Yanwang Mansion when he was the King of Yan. It was the place where he lived for more than 20 years, and it was comfortable to live in. As soon as they arrived at the camp, all the ministers resigned and dispersed, and the emperor's entourage was busy arranging their residences. The eunuch who accompanied him was originally from the original Yanwang Mansion, and he was familiar with the original regulations, so he arranged for the emperor according to the old rules. , the residence of the queen and others. Zhu Di left Qiu Fu and Luo Qian alone when the officials resigned and left. He still wanted to ask about the detailed situation of Yanjing and its nearby prefectures and counties.While keeping them, Zhu Di glanced at the officials deliberately, and suddenly kept Tang Jie, who was in charge of the governor's mansion of the Five Armies in Yanjing, behind.

This Tang Jie had a high official position in Yanjing, so he was always in front of Zhu Di. Zhu Di had already seen his lonely face. Although he forced a smile when he greeted him, he was even more uncomfortable when he heard people talking about Yang Xu. Secretly kept in mind. When he returned to the palace, he asked Qiu Fu and Luo Qi to wait in the outer hall first, and called Tang Jie in alone. After he had just finished giving the salute, he suddenly asked: "Tang Jie, I saw you driving all the way, depressed, what's the matter?" worry? Xia Xun passed Shanhaiguan Pass, and the brigade was turning towards Yanjing City. The day passed by Lu Long, suddenly a travel-worn man rushed towards him, and was quickly taken into Xia Xun's car. This person is called Wang Rufeng, and he is also a member of Submarine Dragon, but he was a pirate in Shuangyu before. In Xia Xun's original team, many members came from the three guards of Yanshan. The loyalty and ability of these people are unquestionable, but they were originally the emperor's old department, so most of them were left in Feilong Secret Spy, and Qianlong's main Most of the members are his direct relatives cultivated in Yangjiao Island in eastern Zhejiang.Now that Xia Xun wanted to inquire about the news in Beijing, for the sake of safety, he used another set of troops that had nothing to do with the three guards of Yanshan. Duke, the emperor has arrived in Yanjing City.Qiu Fu and Luo Qi led the officials from Yanjing to greet him. Wang Rufeng carefully reported the news in Yanjing to Xia Xun. Most of the Secret Agents only knew that their leader was Xia Xun, and only a few of them knew that the real identity of their boss was Fuguo Gong Yang Xu. His true identity is naturally the direct line of the direct line, the absolute confidant. Xia Xun listened quietly, interjecting from time to time to ask a few questions. He came here to see the driver, firstly to ask the emperor for instructions and report on Liaodong affairs;But in Kaiyuan, he beheaded Tang Jie's son, and he already knew that Tang Jie was a high-ranking official of Yanjing in the Five Armies Governor's Mansion and Qiu Fu's absolute confidant, so it was impossible not to pay attention to his movements. He had an old grievance with Qiu Fuben, and now he killed Tang Jie's son. If he was not wary of Tang Jie dangling under his nose, he would not be in today's world.Tang Jie's every move has long been under his surveillance, including Tang Jie's running around in Liaodong, collecting all kinds of news, and welcoming the officials who sent him to communicate after returning to Yanjing. However, it is impossible for him to inquire about some detailed news.For example, what Tang Jie said when he met him; after the emperor arrived in Yanjing, the officials in Yanjing praised him with ulterior motives, he couldn't know these things.His intelligence agency is not so perverted yet, it can infiltrate any occasion and inquire about any information. If he wants to know more detailed information, it is not impossible. Among the officials who accompanied him on the northern tour, there are officials who have good friends with him. To inquire about information from them would be possible only after he arrived in Yanjing, and it would be impossible for them to tell the truth if they were sent casually. After listening to Wang Rufeng's report, Xia Xun didn't hear any very important news, so he said, "Qiu Fu was relegated to Yanjing because of me, and Tang Jie's son was beheaded because of me. They have resentment towards me. You don't need to guess and you know that you will definitely say something slanderous about me in front of the emperor.Hehe, it doesn't matter, it's enough for a man to be magnanimous, but he doesn't necessarily have to be an upright gentleman, and I, Yang Xu, are not just persimmons! He knocked on the window of the car and told the outside world: Speed ​​up the journey and enter Yanjing before sunset!
