Chapter 297 Northern Cowboy

s

Wang Pu was puzzled and said: "Cancel of the Hu Ling can make several northern prefectures in the northern Zhili become the best source of troops of the Central Army? How do you say this?"

Liu Rushi said: "When the Five Barbarians invaded China, Ran Min, the King of Wudao, once issued the order to kill Hu, but the order to kill Hu proposed by our General Staff today is different from the order to kill Hu by Ran Tianwang!"

Wang Pu said: "What's the difference?"

Liu Rushi said: "When the Five Barbarians invaded China, the Han people were on the verge of extinction, so killing Hu was the obligation of all Han people at that time. But now our Ming Dynasty revival is in sight, and the Han people will soon become the most powerful nation in the world again. Therefore, there is no need to kill Hu in order to continue the bloodline of the Han people. This will cause the Han people to lose the driving force for killing Hu, so it is necessary to inject new impetus into the killing Hu order."

Wang Pu Xinran said: "So let's continue."

Liu Rushi said: "Due to the rampage of Jiannu and Mongolian Tartars, the population of Northern Zhili has dropped sharply. Those people who have fled to the south are likely to have become accustomed to the stable life in the south. They may not be willing to return to Northern Zhili and start over. In addition, eight or ten people in Northern Zhili have died in war. There will inevitably be large areas of unowned wasteland in the states and prefectures of Northern Zhili."

"The idea of ​​the General Staff is that it can issue a killing order to the provinces of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who voluntarily migrated to Northern Zhili to settle down will give ten acres of land. Any people who settled in Northern Zhili will not be punished for killing the Hu people. Each time a Jiannu or Tartar kills, they will receive a reward of ten taels of silver!"

"Good idea." Wang Pu couldn't help but shout, "In this way, landless farmers in various provinces would come to Beizhili to settle down. Due to the issuance of the Hu killing order, the Jiannu and the Tartar soldiers who were wandering in Beizhili would soon be hunted by these migrant people. Then, the people in Beizhili would spontaneously organize armed forces to enter the grassland or Liaodong for the sake of silver rewards, but their prey was not wild animals, but Jiannu or Tartars."

If such a situation really occurs, it is somewhat similar to the invasion of North America by white people in the 17th and 18th centuries.

At that time, in order to obtain more land and production resources, the whites continued to advance from the east coast to the central and western regions, gradually eroding the habitat of the native Indians in North America. In the end, millions of Indians were almost extincted by whites, and the huge North America also completely became the world of whites.

Moreover, during the process of eroding westward, an extremely special group was born - Western Cowboys.

The pioneering spirit of the Western Cowboys finally forged the national spirit of the United States of America and eventually pushed the United States of America to the top of the world.

If the killing order proposed by the General Staff was slightly modified, the same effect would be achieved.

However, the whites erode the habitat of the native Indians in North America to the west, while the Han people erode the habitat of the native Mongolians, Jurchens and Koreans to the north. Therefore, the special groups born from the rank cannot be called western cowboys, but northern cowboys.

But it is undeniable that this special group, both civil and military, will indeed become the best source of troops for the Central Army!

The possible special group of "Northern Cowboys" is likely to inject factors such as war, expansion, progress, and pioneering into the souls of the Han people.

This is exactly what Wang Pu needs the most. Wang Pu did not think of plundering too much territory for the Ming Empire in his lifetime, nor did he think of destroying all the barbarians and foreign tribes in his lifetime, nor did he need to rule the entire world, but he must inject war, expansion, pioneering and enterprising factors into the spirit of the Han people.

"In this way..." Wang Pu pondered, "I will first make three revisions. First, the scope of application of the killing Hu order can be expanded to five provinces in Beizhi, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Henan; second, add one more to the current silver reward, and for every killing a Jiannu or a Tartar, you can obtain a hundred acres of pasture on the grassland or ten acres of farmland outside the pass; third, in order to prevent the Han people from killing each other and taking credit, the governor's offices in the five northern provinces need to formulate strict review systems and punishment measures."

The three points added by Wang Pu are undoubtedly quite targeted.

The scope of application of the killing order to the five northern provinces was to expand the group of "Northern Cowboys", and to add ranches and manors to the reward measures, and to induce these "Northern Cowboys" to cooperate with the Central Army to gradually encroach on grasslands and large areas of unowned land in Liaodong, so that these northern cowboys who are brave in pioneering spirit will become the pioneers of the Central Army.

As for the third article, it is to prevent the killing of Hu Ling from losing control and become the source of chaos in China. In particular, the indigenous people of the southern provinces of the Ming Empire should not be involved in it. Wang Pu would never allow the appearance of "southern cowboys".

As a time traveler, Wang Pu knew very well that the land of China actually did not have the fifty-six ethnic groups claimed by later generations!

The so-called fifty-six ethnic groups are actually some unspeakable bullshit experts, professors, and scholars who have nothing to do when they are full. In order to show off their power and to show their "profound" knowledge, these bastards have divided many false ethnic minorities from the Han ethnic groups, such as the Hui people and the Zhuang people.

In fact, there are almost no ethnic minorities in southern China. They are almost all descendants of the ancient Han people who migrated from the Yellow River and the Yangtze River Basin. They are the same branch and vein, and the same clan and ancestor as the Han people living in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River Basin. They are all part of the Han people.

It is only because of regional restrictions that unique languages ​​and customs have been formed over thousands of years of history.

It is completely illogical to force the division of ethnic groups based on settlement, language, and customs! According to this standard, the current Guangdong people should be Guangdong people, the current Fujian people should be Fujian people, the current Zhejiang people should be Yue people, and the current Jiangsu people should be Wu people. They cannot be considered the true Han people, but is this logical?

Wang Puke was unwilling to say that although these people in the south were nominally alien races, they actually became victims of the killing of Hu Ling like the Jiannu and Tartars. For the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens, Mongolians, Tibetans, Uighurs, Koreans, Japanese, Semu people, etc. were alien races.

Liu Rushi carefully recorded the three supplements of Wang Pu. When he was about to turn around and leave, Liu Qingyan suddenly walked in excitedly and said happily: "Marty, Rushi girl, Beijing has been restored."

"Oh?" Wang Pu asked quickly, "Is the Forbidden City damaged?"

"No." Liu Qingyan shook her head and said, "Tang Sheng said in Feige's letter that the Forbidden City is intact!"

"Okay." Wang Pu said fiercely, "Who did a good job, I will personally ask the court for the court to make a contribution for Tang Sheng and the soldiers of the Mixed Camp."

"But..." Liu Qingyan's tone became dark and continued, "But the people in Beijing were tragically robbed. More than 300,000 people survived less than 300,000. The officials who surrendered to the thief first and then Jiannu were all killed in prison, and none of them survived!"

"These scumbags are still alive." Wang Pu said this, and his murderous intent was revealed in his eyes. "It's just a pity that the 300,000 innocent people in Beijing, but this blood debt will be requested from Jiannu and the Tartars one day. The blood of our Han people will not be in vain. In the future, we must pay back ten times or hundreds of times!"

Liu Qingyan and Liu Rushi were silent in a stern voice. They all felt the deep hatred from Wang Pu's eyes.

After breathing a long sigh, the hatred and murderous intent in Wang Pu's eyes gradually faded away, and he turned around and said, "I will send a letter to Nanjing Feige immediately, and pass on the good news of Jining's victory and Beijing's liberation back together, so that the old man and the old man and the civil and military officials of the court will be happy. Our Ming Empire has suffered too much pain, and it is time to be happy now."

"yes."

Liu Qingyan responded with a sweet voice and left happily.

Nanjing, Wenhua Palace.

Sun Chuanting is wearing reading glasses and is reviewing the list of officials that will be released to Shandong prefectures. There is no doubt that most of these officials are from Donglin Fushe. Yangming University has just started running schools. The first batch of 200 students in the crash course are still half-working and half-study in Jiande, and they will not graduate until next spring. As for the students in the regular class, they have a three-year school system, so they can't count on them.

Of course, Wang Pu and Sun Chuanting knew that it would not be a good thing to let Donglin Fushe continue to be like this. Although Wang Pu held military power in his hand and was not afraid of anything that would happen to Donglin Fushe, Donglin Fushe really lost control. It would be not fun to join the online network with Emperor Longwu. Wang Pu did not want to bear the thousand-year reputation of "burning books and burying scholars".

In view of this, Sun Chuanting thought of the Taizhou School.

The Taizhou School adhered to the Yangming theory and was consistent with the Sun Wang Group in promoting the Yangming theory, which laid the political foundation for the alliance between the Sun Wang Group and the Taizhou School. Unfortunately, by the end of Chongzhen, the Taizhou School had already withered talents and no longer had the Longqing again. Although there were hundreds of Confucian scholars in the Wanli period, few could take the lead.

Sun Chuanting barely selected more than a dozen Confucian scholars from the Taizhou School and sent them to Shandong, which had just been restored, to be the magistrate.

Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi knew Sun Chuanting's thoughts, but these two old foxes were old and were of course pretending to be confused. But then again, even if they had any ideas in their minds, they would not dare to sing opposite each other. They had already seen Wang Pu's methods of dealing with political enemies. They did not want to be cut into a human being like Gao Hongtu.

Qian Qianyi took the initiative to say, "Gemaster Sun, these Taizhou students have all the talents, so why not be the prefect?"

"No." Sun Chuanting shook his head and sighed, "Although these people have a decent character and may be mediocre, it is already difficult for them to be reinstated. The reinstatement is to harm them, and at the same time, the people in the area. I must not take special care of them just because they are Mr. Yangming's disciples."

Qian Qianyi flattered the horse's legs, and smiled embarrassedly and stopped talking.

At this moment, a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside the Wenhua Hall, and then an official from the Tongzheng Department rushed in and shouted in a hurry: "Three masters, great victory! Jining's great victory! Beijing... Beijing has also been liberated, hahaha, Beijing, the former capital of the Ming Dynasty has been liberated!"

"Puchi."

The brush in Sun Chuanting's hand shook, and a drop of thick ink immediately dripped onto a memorial. The handwriting on the memorial was immediately blackened. Even though Sun Chuanting had seen countless storms and waves, he suddenly heard this news and was shocked and forgot about it.

Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi stood up suddenly, their old faces full of indescribable excitement.

"Three Pavilion Masters!" Seeing that Sun Chuanting and the other two seemed to have no reaction, the official of the Tongzheng envoy emphasized again, "The Jining victory, the Central Army defeated Jiannu, and the Ming Dynasty's capital Beijing has also been liberated!"

"Okay, OK, OK!"

Sun Chuanting said three times and sat back on the Grand Master's chair.

Qian Qianyi's old face turned red with excitement. He didn't know what to say for a moment. But Lu Daqi suddenly knelt down to the north, and cried with his head to grab the ground and said, "Last Emperor, if you have a spirit in the sky, you should smile at the nine springs at this time! The old capital has been restored, the Ming Dynasty's revival is in sight, and the Ming Dynasty's revival is in sight..."

At this moment, a violent noise suddenly sounded outside Wenhua Hall.

The official from Tongzheng Department said excitedly: "Three Pavilion Masters, listen, all the officials in the court have gathered outside Donghua Gate and are about to enter the palace to congratulate Master Longsheng! At this time, Master Longsheng has already known these two great news, and still knows how happy he will be."

"Let's go." Sun Chuanting finally came back from the great shock, stood up and smiled at the sky, "Old Master Qian, Master Lu and Lord Chen, hurry up and go outside Donghua Gate to summon all civil and military officials and follow me to the palace to meet the saint. Such great news, can't the king and ministers have fun together? Hahaha..."

"Yes, yes, go to the palace to see you immediately."

"It is necessary to have a monarch and ministerial fun together, and to have a monarch and a monarch with the people!"

Qian Qianyi and Lu Daqi also spoke at the same time, and both of them showed ecstasy from the bottom of their hearts, especially Lu Daqi's crying just now was not an ordinary gesture, but a sincere love.

Qianqing Palace.

Because the power is gone, Emperor Longwu no longer has to go to court every day. Today, he is having nothing to do and is discussing the way of governing the country with King Yong in the palace. Princess Changping sat next to him and listened with relish. King Yong Zhu Cijiong had just published a long speech. A small eunuch suddenly hurried into the palace and shouted in a sharp voice: "Long live the great joy, long live the great joy..."

Since Gao Hongtu fell, Emperor Longwu has not been in a good mood. He frowned and shouted, "Where does the joy come from?"

"Uh..." The little eunuch said uh, and said quickly, "Report to Master Long Live, there was a good news outside the palace just now, saying that the Central Army had defeated Jiannu in Jining, and even the old capital Beijing had been liberated."

"Oh?" Emperor Longwu suddenly stood up and said in a narrow voice, "The Central Army defeated Jiannu in Jining, and even Beijing was liberated?"
