webnovel Chapter 175
Chapter 175
There are ruins and rubble, and a large number of destroyed and burned houses.
The scene in front of people only has one feeling in their hearts, that is, broken and dilapidated and desolate. Looking at the scene in front of them, people couldn't help but feel a trace of pathos, no one thought that this would actually be the most prosperous Danzhou City in the original Qiongzhou capital.
Danzhou City is the main city of Qiongzhou Capital, and it is located in other state capitals, and other towns in its state capital do not know what it will look like. But at the very least, the main city must be very prosperous. After all, it is its main town, and the construction of the entire state capital will be condensed here, but what is surprising at the moment is that even if this Danzhou city is not destroyed, it is still very dilapidated.
"Now I kind of understand why the main city of a dignified Qiongzhou Mansion was easily broken by a group of pirates."
Zhu Hao said with a smile, looking at this Danzhou city made Zhu Hao think of those towns in the Yin Kingdom, those towns in the Yin Kingdom are also very small, and this Danzhou is also very small, the low city wall can easily jump over without any powerful siege equipment.
"Erm..."
"Your Highness, our Qiongzhou Mansion is poor and has a small population, the population of our entire Qiongzhou Mansion adds up to less than 300,000, and the loss of a large number of people this time is a major blow to our Qiongzhou Mansion, so ah, we don't have money to build a town at all."
When Zhang Wenwen heard Zhu Hao's words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and stared at Zhu Haodao. Obviously, he also knew that Danzhou was really a little too shabby, especially after this experience, the whole Danzhou looked even more dilapidated.
"Yes, the imperial court's support for the development of Qiongzhou is too small, and Qiongzhou should not be ~ this in front of you."
Zhu Hao nodded and said.
Qiongzhou Mansion is located in the southernmost part of Daming, in fact, not only in Daming, but even before Zhu Hao crossed over, this Qiongzhou was the southernmost point of the country.
After all, Daming is a feudal dynasty, and for the southernmost island prefecture capital such as Qiongzhou, the imperial court generally does not vigorously develop. They will only develop the central plains in the core, so Qiongzhou has always been considered barren, backward and sparsely populated.
This is why Qiongzhou is getting poorer and poorer, like the entire Qiongzhou capital is only 300,000 people, so a large state capital is only 300,000 people, in Daming, a Nanjing city has a population of millions, which can be imagined in comparison how desolate this Qiongzhou is.
"Hey... This is no wonder to the imperial court, after all, the whip is beyond reach. "
Zhang Wenwen said when he heard this.
This is not to blame the imperial court for its reluctance to build Qiongzhou, but no feudal dynasty would put its development direction on its own borders. Places like Qiongzhou are the southernmost border of Daming.
"It's okay, Qiongzhou has a huge space for development, this time, since Qiongzhou has encountered such a big change, it is better to break it and stand up."
Zhu Hao's eyes flashed, and a plan had risen in his heart. He wants to transform the entire Qiongzhou and change the state of the entire Qiongzhou.
In fact, Qiongzhou has development potential, it is located in the South China Sea, which is the only way to communicate between Daming and Southeast Asian countries. In history, Daming had a sea ban, and because Zhu Yuanzhang did not solve the problems of the Wokou, he simply sealed the sea without doing anything. This is actually not good, and closing the country will inevitably be unfavorable to the great war of Daming.
If you want to develop better, you must maintain long-term communication with the outside world and learn from each other to promote development.
Like the Song Dynasty, why did it give the Great Song a weak Song in everyone's impression, but that such a weak Song created the richest dynasty in Chinese history. The reason is not because the Song Dynasty had developed commerce and prosperous trade, and in the case of losing the overland Silk Road, they were stunned to open up a maritime Silk Road, which is why the Song Dynasty was very rich.
With the arrival of Zhu Hazel, the sea ban definitely does not need to be banned, and trade with countries is not limited to land, maritime trade is also a major point. It can even be said that maritime trade is actually more advantageous than land trade.
Because sea freight can carry more goods and lower costs, even in the era when Zhu Hazel did not cross, sea freight still occupied the weight of global trade.
Therefore, in ancient times, shipping was the most suitable way for trade, and if shipping was carried out, then this Qiongzhou could become an important bridgehead. Zhu Hao had a bold suggestion, that is, to build a free trade zone in Qiongzhou Capital. So that merchants from all over the world can come to Qiongzhou to trade with Daming, and in this way, both sides only need to trade in Qiongzhou Capital, rather than running to each other's countries to trade.
If this matter can be achieved, then Qiongzhou Mansion will definitely be able to get a qualitative leap, so that the entire Qiongzhou Mansion can be sublimated.
However, this is still Zhu Hao's preliminary plan, and what he needs to do now is to solve Chen Zuyi first. Chen Zuyi, this guy has been entrenched in Southeast Asian waters for many years, so if you don't kill this guy, then everything is for nothing, and everyone will not get any security even if it is trade, so the first thing is very simple, get Chen Zuyi.
Zhu Hao and the others quickly settled in Danzhou, and Zhu Hao began to appease the people of Qiongzhou, who had just encountered pirates, so everyone looked very depressed, so Zhu Hao had to build up confidence in everyone and let them know that Daming had not abandoned them.
Of course, when inspecting Qiongzhou, Zhu Hao was also observing the development direction of Qiongzhou.
In addition, Zhu Hao also sent a large number of water troops to scatter to find Chen Zuyi's whereabouts, although the killer whales have helped Zhu Hao to find it, but their number is limited, and Zhu Hao cannot wait for the killer whale to help him do this.
Ying Tianfu inside!
"Father Emperor, Father Emperor..."
In the imperial study room, Zhu Yuanzhang was teaching his grandson Zhu Xunshuo some ability to handle imperial affairs at this moment, and at this moment, Zhu Biao came in a hurry, his face was very ugly.
"Boss, what's going on so panicked?"
Seeing Zhu Biao's expression, Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned and a little surprised, not knowing what happened here, why Zhu Biao was so nervous.
When Zhu Biao heard this, he presented a recital to Zhu Yuanzhang, and his expression was very ugly.
"Father, the Xibo rebelled, those people in the West suddenly attacked our guards, our Ming army was defenseless and suffered heavy losses, and now, the Xibo is about to move, intending to attack our Sichuan land."
"Exceptionally, those Tusi in the Qianzhong region also rebelled, they had previously obeyed the orders of the imperial court and were stripped of the title of Tusi, and now they have united in a collective rebellion and killed the officials arranged by our imperial court."
Zhu Biao's face was ugly, and his eyes looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, this is the news he just received.
"What?"
Zhu Yuanzhang got up all of a sudden, and he looked at Zhu Biao incredulously, with some suspicions that he had misheard.
"Xibo and Qianzhong rebelled, this, this, how is this possible, how dare they?" (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed a little surprised, Xibo is the original Tubo, and now the Tubo Dynasty has collapsed, so Tubo is called Xibo.
Xibo originally belonged to the forces of the Yuan Dynasty and was ruled by the Yuan Dynasty, and after Ai You knew Lidara, the Yuan Dynasty forces of the Xibo tribes all surrendered. Subsequently, Daming established a political envoy in Xibo, and then established a Wei to govern Xibo.
These people in Xibo have always been wary of the Daming Imperial Court, the two sides do not trust each other, and the imperial court is not willing to spend too much energy to manage the land of Xibo, after all, the land of Xibo is not a good place, compared with the land of the Central Plains, Xibo is really not good.
It is a pity that Xibo is tasteless and abandoned, so Zhu Yuanzhang has always maintained a loose policy for Xibo, as long as the other party does not rebel, then Daming does not interfere much in the development and construction of Xibo, let them develop themselves, stocking mode.
Moreover, the imperial court is exempt from tax for Xibo, and you pass yours, as long as you do not rebel and recognize that it is Daming, and the rest are favored. Under such circumstances, Xibo is also honest, and has not been higher than any moth since it was annexed.
It was not a good mode of getting along with each other in this way, but suddenly the news of the Xibo rebellion came out, which surprised Zhu Yuanzhang.
Why did this Xibo want to rebel, and did this rebellion do them any good?
In addition, the Qianzhong rebellion made Zhu Yuanzhang even more puzzled, because of the rebellion in southern Yunnan, the imperial court simply abolished the toast system. Not only the toast in the entire southern Yunnan land has been cut, but even the toast in Yunqianzhong, Shuzhong and other areas has also been cut.
At that time, Daming's attitude was very tough, you either obediently cut off the name of the toast, and then be your gentry and tyrant in peace, or wait to be wiped out by the imperial court.
And the Bai brothers in southern Yunnan were caught in Ying Tianhou, and were directly ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to carry out the punishment of peeling daylilies. This criminal law is the most severe criminal law in the whole of Daming, and those who have been subjected to the criminal law of peeling daylilies will be skinned alive, and then stuffed into the peeled skin and filled into a grass man, so that you will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
After the Bai brothers were skinned and daylilies, they were taken to the territory of those toasts and they watched, which was a kind of coercion and deterrence of the court, and the effect was obvious.
Those toasts are honest, and one by one they have chosen to be cut off from the position of toast, and they don't even dare to put a fart. In this way, the toast system has completely disappeared in Daming, and in recent years, these original toasts have also been very secure, without the slightest intention of wanting to resist the court, but I didn't expect that this time there would actually be a rebellion, and it was actually the same time as Xibo, which couldn't help but make people feel a little surprised, and it was even more unreasonable.
"Father, you heard correctly, it's true. Xibo rebelled, and there was also a rebellion against Qianzhong. At present, it is not known how many people there were in the Xibo rebellion, and the approximate size of the Qianzhong rebellion is about 100,000. "
Zhu Biao nodded and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, obviously, this scale and number of people is not small, 100,000 people, quite a large scale.
"One hundred thousand people, how dare they?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was ugly, and he didn't understand why these people dared to rebel. Today's Daming is not the moment when the country was just founded, and now Daming is quite strong, and the other party actually rebels, which can't help but be very surprising, I can't understand why the other party did that, and it's even more unreasonable.
But one thing is for sure, this is not good news, and the matter is serious.
"Father, what should I do now, the eighth brother is no more, who should we send?"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.
"Hmph, my Daming is not only one King of Wei who can fight, come here, let Xu Da, Feng Sheng, Li Wenzhong... Wait to enter the palace, Wulou deliberates. "
Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly, Zhu Hao is now dealing with Chen Zuyi in Qiongzhou, so Zhu Hao must not be able to count on it now, but Daming is not the only one who can fight.
"Yes!"
Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, and soon Xu Da and the others came to the Wulou after receiving the news.
Then Zhu Biao told these people what happened, so that they knew what happened.
But when they learned that there were rebellions in Xibo and Qianzhong, everyone was a little surprised. The Xibo Rebellion, the Qianzhong Rebellion, is it too coincidental that these two places rebelled at the same time, is there any connection here, but for a while it makes people a little suspicious.
"Gentlemen, what do you think, who should be sent to the rebellion in these two places?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze looked at everyone and then asked.
Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a deep groan, and then got up.
"Emperor, this Xibo rebellion is strange, and the strength of the troops is unknown, we need to be cautious, now they have entered Sichuan, they want to attack Shuzhong and have to defend, the minister is willing to lead troops there."
"As for Qianzhong, Qianzhong is very close to southern Yunnan, you might as well let Mu Ying go to suppress the rebellion, he has experience in these toasts, but he doesn't need to let the imperial court send troops anymore."
