It's the Spring Festival again, and the snow and wind in northern Zhili also stopped. As soon as the biting cold wind stopped, people could clearly feel the changes in the solar term when walking outdoors. ◇↓◇↓ Point◇↓ Small◇↓ Say,...o&1t;/p>

The palace feast as usual.&1t;/p>

However, this year Zhu Youxiao invited all the ministers in Wenhua Hall, and all the civil and military officials were listed in the hall. After saluting Zhu Youxiao, they all took their seats.&1t;/p>

The dark and overwhelming crowd of ministers represent the superstructure of the Ming Dynasty's power. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel it. No wonder many people lost themselves when they sat on this throne.&1t;/p>

Fortunately, as a time traveler, he is still relatively clear-headed.&1t;/p>

The rituals and music at the banquet are very simple. After all, the Shenzong and Guangzong died less than three years ago, so Zhu Youxiao was in the palace on weekdays and had no rituals and music.&1t;/p>

Many of the officials here have been absorbed into the Han Imperial Party. The Donglin Party has become like a pile of loose sand. Although it has been condensed, it can no longer compete with the Han Imperial Party. However, in the small court in Nanjing, the Donglin Party is still covering the sky with one hand. The north and south are more and more distinct.&1t;/p>

Before the Spring Festival, the "spoils-sharing meeting" had been held as usual, and everyone sat in a row to divide the fruits. The officials of the Han Emperor Party all received more generous salaries, so they naturally smiled.&1t;/p>

The shopkeepers of Royal Capital also received their respective shares at the end of the year. And those Red Ding Royal Merchants also settled the accounts at the end of the year and then sent a gift to Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

The profits of the second year of the Apocalypse are absolutely hilarious.&1t;/p>

Basically, none of the joint ventures in the Royal Consortium lost their business. After all, the merchants who could be absorbed had a few tricks, plus policy tilts, and the sharing of consortium resources and channels. These merchants all made a lot of money.&1t;/p>

A new interest group has been initially formed. The core of this interest group is the emperor.&1t;/p>

The senior officers of the Central Army also received dividends from the Royal Consortium at the end of the year. The fundamental reason for this interest group is military.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao obviously had the idea of ​​building a military interest group, thus generating strong external expansion momentum.&1t;/p>

"Report to Your Majesty, the Ryukyu envoy has visited and agreed to the Ming Dynasty to establish a military port in Ryukyu to take over the management of the surrounding merchant ships." Gu Bingqian, Minister of Rites, reported at the banquet, "Did Your Majesty meet?"&1t;/p>

"Travel." Zhu Youxiao smiled. The Ryukyu Kingdom knew that the country was weak in its primary school and was relatively obedient.&1t;/p>

“Yes.”&1t;/p>

"The messengers of Ryukyu came to the temple to meet."&1t;/p>

Soon the envoy of Ryukyu walked into the hall, knelt down to Zhu Youxiao, and presented the letter of the country. Zhu Youxiao immediately asked someone to give the envoy of Ryukyu to the seat.&1t;/p>

After the banquet, Zhu Youxiao rewarded another generous gift for the Ryukyu envoy to take it back to the Ryukyu king. Since the Ryukyu Kingdom agreed to set up a military port in its territory, it naturally had to give it a good reward.&1t;/p>

But for the Ryukyu Kingdom, it was obvious that I wanted the Ming Dynasty to set up a military port in its territory. After all, the Ming Dynasty could not annex Ryukyu. If the Ming navy stationed in Ryukyu, the Ryukyu Kingdom would obviously be much safer.&1t;/p>

After all, Ryukyu is a small country and has no national defense capabilities. It is basically a group of fishermen and farmers. Once there is any invasion, they can only go to the boss to come forward. Now the boss is stationed in Ryukyu. The King of Ryukyu is naturally happy and readily agreed to the Ming Dynasty's request.&1t;/p>

Now I have received another reward, and I am even more overjoyed.&1t;/p>

After the two sides paid tribute to each other, the Royal Navy immediately dispatched 1,000 6 naval teams to Ryukyu, and first went to Ryukyu to get out the military port.&1t;/p>

After the Royal Navy received a lot of funds, the development was rapid. The Navy's 6th Team increased its strength to 30,000 people and is training.&1t;/p>

The Royal Fleet currently has six gunboats, as well as nearly fifty large warships of about 3,000 materials, and hundreds of other warships of various types.&1t;/p>

After the New Year, Zhu Youxiao immediately issued several tasks to the Royal Navy. The first is the escort mission. The Royal Consortium will increase its efforts to start Taiwan. The transportation between Taiwan and the Great Six is ​​entirely through sea transportation. At this time, the Dutch people probably won't give up, so merchant ships must have naval escort.&1t;/p>

The second is that after the establishment of the Ryukyu military port, the Royal Fleet intercepted merchant ships for trade in Ryukyu. Whether it was a Chinese merchant ship or a Dutch merchant ship, they would be intercepted and confiscated.&1t;/p>

The third is to explore Hokkaido in northern Japan and investigate local indigenous peoples.&1t;/p>

At this time, Hokkaido was not called Hokkaido. Because Japan did not establish administration and management in Hokkaido, it was called "Hayi".&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao now has more and more ships in his hands and has begun to have the ability to immigrate to the outside world. Naturally, he has also set his sights on Hokkaido, an island larger than Taiwan.&1t;/p>

Hokkaido has an area of ​​83,000 square kilometers, while Taiwan has 36,000 square kilometers. Of course, Hokkaido's products are obviously not as good as Taiwan, mainly because of dimension issues.&1t;/p>

60% of Hokkaido is mountainous and has more coastal plains, which is very suitable for grazing. It is not difficult to open a fine pasture of 50 to 60 million mu. It also has a large amount of timber resources, and the forest coverage rate on the island is very high. Although it is the Little Ice Age and the temperature is relatively cold, production can still be started.&1t;/p>

Moreover, Sakhalin Island is located in the north, and you can also continue to immigrate to Sakhalin Island.&1t;/p>

Immigration to Taiwan can build Taiwan into a place of rice and sugarcane production. Immigration to Hokkaido can turn Hokkaido into a place of production of livestock products and wood, thus allowing the Ming Dynasty to obtain a large amount of raw material production.&1t;/p>

In addition to exploring Hokkaido, the Royal Fleet also needs to select a port in Hokkaido as the entry point for immigration, build a fort and set up a city on it, and then increase the immigrant population step by step.&1t;/p>

The three-year immigration plan for Apocalypse is basically based on Taiwan and Hokkaido. The number of temporary immigrants may not be large, but it can accumulate experience. In the future, with more ships, the immigration rate will be faster.&1t;/p>

In the beginning of the third year of Tianqi, Zhu Youxiao became busy again and carried out a series of in-depth reforms to Beizhili.&1t;/p>

First, the Ministry of Public Security was established, with a police station, and the "Regulations on Public Security Management of Northern Zhili" was issued, and then all the towns were assigned to the police force. At the same time, police academies were established to recruit students from the outside and train regular police officers.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the temporary workers used by the government to manage public security were dismissed. The auxiliary police were not only available in later China. It was very common in the Ming Dynasty. After all, there was insufficient staff in the constable. It was normal to need auxiliary police.&1t;/p>

For the "assistant police" of each prefecture and county, the excellent ones are selected and those who fail are dismissed. At the same time, the treatment is increased and the police force scale is increased.&1t;/p>

After some rectification, he was busy launching a comprehensive crackdown in Beizhili. All the notorious gangsters were arrested in the Labor Reform Bureau.&1t;/p>

The public security in Northern Zhili was immediately cleared, especially after the evil forces were destroyed, the people applauded.&1t;/p>

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also personally led the administration of Beizhili. He continuously improved various evaluation systems and issued the "Beizhili Civil Servants Law", which included the documents in the government into the system and became a civil servant of the court. Under the leadership of Zhu Youxiao, he continued to issue various administrative regulations and laid off redundant staff, prohibiting public funds from eating, drinking, entertaining, and using private use by officials.&1t;/p>

In just a few months, more than 300 officials and civil servants at all levels were removed from office and investigated in the officialdom of Zhili, and the anti-corruption efforts became the most severe region in the country, and the evaluation was the strictest. For a time, the officialdom of Zhili was in panic. However, administrative efficiency and integrity rose to an unprecedented level.&1t;/p>

Many officials are not corrupt either. However, they are lazy and unworking in their positions, and have been removed from office. Zhu Youxiao's skills are to tell those officials that since officials are ministers and workers, we, Director Zhu, are not easy to fool. They are just corpses, and those who are lazy and unworking go home.&1t;/p>

Wang Shaohui, the Minister of Personnel, worked very hard in the rectification of the officialdom in Northern Zhili, and tried very hard to show his performance in front of the emperor. Zhu Youxiao gave him a big mansion in the imperial city.&1t;/p>

In addition to rectification, the most critical assessment changes in the officialdom are. In order to the original assessment standards, various comprehensive assessments have been added.&1t;/p>

The construction of water conservancy, roads and other infrastructure, as well as health and epidemic prevention, economic exhibitions, public security, etc. have all been added to the assessment.&1t;/p>

The tax system after the reform was also separated from local administration and became a tax collection by the Central Taxation Bureau. The usual administrative expenses were allocated by the court and the funds for infrastructure construction were also allocated by the court. The funds allocated by the allocation were adopted. All scholars and above in the local area could not only supervise the administration of the government, but also have the right to view the government accounts. The problems can be directly reached to the heavens and reported by letters.&1t;/p>

In general, the reform in this assessment began to tend to be more economically powerful. Once the economy goes up, people's livelihood will naturally be better. Those officials who know how to develop people's livelihood will be promoted.&1t;/p>

These reforms became the main theme of the officialdom of the Northern Zhili in the third year of Tianqi, and it was not possible to be completed in a few months. Zhu Youxiao took the lead and the strong support of the Han Huang Party officials, the reform was implemented smoothly. The second-class Jinshi in the Renxu Criminal College was also widely added to local officials, becoming the players in the big waves.&1t;/p>

Those who can stand out will be members of the party in the future.&1t;/p>

Just as Zhu Youxiao was making great reforms in Northern Zhili, the war in Guizhou also entered a rapid stage of counter-rebellion.&1t;/p>

After An Bangyan attacked Guiyang, Guiyang City was defending the city behind closed doors. A group of 100,000 local officials were actually very unfair to attack the city, so they could only take the stupidest method - to siege!&1t;/p>

Qin Liangyu received the order to transfer and immediately raised 30,000 troops to support Guiyang. When he arrived in Guiyang, Guiyang had been besieged for more than a month.&1t;/p>

Thirty thousand white-rod soldiers took a break and immediately attacked the 100,000 chieftain soldiers.&1t;/p>

The chieftain soldiers relied on their large forces and did not give in. The two sides collided like torrents, and the well-equipped white-rod soldiers were as if they were tigers entering a flock of sheep. They soon killed the chieftain soldiers and blood flowed into a river.&1t;/p>

These 30,000 white-rod soldiers are also chieftains. However, the chieftains of Shizhu are Han people, but the soldiers are ethnic minorities and are brave in combat. With the equipment allocated by the Royal Military Factory, they are almost armed. They are Zhu Youxiao's ace troops to stabilize the situation in the southwest.&1t;/p>

On the other hand, the 100,000 chieftain soldiers led by An Bangyan were not uniformly equipped, and the command system was also in chaos. After all, it was an alliance composed of many local officials, and it was not an army directly under An Bangyan. Moreover, many of the ethnic minorities who caused the rebellion were formerly village residents in the villages in the mountain villages.&1t;/p>

The equipment, command, and training of both sides are not on the same level. The 100,000 chieftain soldiers were soon killed by the white pole soldiers.&1t;/p>

On the fifth day of the second month of the third year of Tianqi, Bai Gan soldiers defeated the rebels of Anbangyan's army and broke the siege of Guiyang. Bai Gan soldiers took advantage of the victory to pursue and captured more than 20,000 chieftain soldiers and captured nearly 30,000 chieftain soldiers. (To be continued...)&1t;/>&1t;/p>
