The world is already in an unprecedented change!

When Zhu Guoqiang was at the Jiayu Pass, this idea suddenly appeared in his mind, not because of the "high-standard gravel road" from Lanzhou to Jiayu Pass, which was more than six meters wide, but because on this gravel road, people with family members drove their carriages or ox carts out of the pass every day.

Why go outside the gate?

Because there is land outside the pass!

Compared with the barrenness of Gansu and other places, the land in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains and the Junggar Basin is rich, and there is now no one there.

Everyone has gone there?

Unlike the history of the slaughter of the Ching-Ger by the Qing Dynasty, the Mongols are now stranded by Dorgon to go to the west to recreate the glory of Genghis Khan.

Well, as for the Yarkand Khanate, which originally filled the gap in history, was destroyed by Dorgon, and the male was buried in the Gobi Desert, and women were either rewarded for soldiers or sold to slave traders.

There is no one in the world... but it has successfully attracted many Gansu people. After all, the land here is too barren.

“How many people come out of seclusion every year now?”

Zhu Guoqiang asked.

"When you go back to your Majesty, you will be ruled by the gates, and there will be about 7,862 people leaving the gates."

Standing beside His Majesty, Jiang Shan replied.

As the commander of Jiayu Pass, he never expected that His Majesty would come to such a small border town in person.

"There are almost eight thousand people, and there are not many more people who say more, and there are not many less people..."

Nodding slightly, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"Remember to make it convenient for immigration. Although the Western Regions do not seem to be our territory, as long as there are more immigrants, the population proportion of our Ming people is the majority. In less than twenty or thirty years, our territory will naturally be our territory. In addition, the official department will send teachers. Although the Hami Guard has been reset, it is still a new one there, so you still need to work harder."

"It should be done, it should be done."

When Jiang Shan nodded and said yes, Zhu Guoqiang continued to instruct how to help immigrate, such as gunpowder and musket. In short, try to make it convenient for immigrants. Finally, Zhu Guoqiang even emphasized.

"As for the muskets brought by immigrants, don't stick to the people who come out of seclusion. One person and two guns each have one length, and three or five more guns are not bad. Those muskets can not only be used to defend themselves, but also sell them to others, but also earn some money to make settlement fees."

The Ming Dynasty could not help but hold firearms, but it restricted the number of people carrying out the customs. Each person could only carry one or two muskets of length and length out of customs. This was to avoid the outflow of firearms, but in fact? How could it be stopped? There are policies and countermeasures at the top. Not to mention that the high-quality Daming muskets have always been popular among countries. In addition to the collusion and smuggling between private firearm factories and private merchants, the most common smuggling is ant moving smuggling. Just like in Jiayu Pass, a person can take out forty muskets after coming out of customs twenty times a day.

Look, legal and compliant.

It is legal to have no law prohibitions. What can the government do about such things?

I'm stunned.

This is a smuggler.

What should I do if I am a normal immigration?

One person has two branches, what about the family of three? Then there are six branches.

In a word, some things cannot be resisted. Instead of being cheaper than those smugglers, it is better to be cheaper for ordinary people. At least they can give the people more settlement expenses.

The emperor's words made Jiang Shan stunned.

From ancient times to the present, it is probably only the only one who can be so generous to the Holy Emperor. In the past, the Ming Dynasty was strictly prohibited from leaving the Iron after the passage of the Ming Dynasty. Now, not only can’t help but the Iron, but even the muskets were encouraged to leave the Iron after the Emperor.

But Jiang Shan would not say anything about this. After all, the officials in the court who should have been talking about back then had already finished speaking, but His Majesty replied with a word.

"Some things cannot be banned. We strictly prohibit muskets from coming out of customs. Do they not build muskets? Instead of letting them build and letting them develop their own arms industry, we should sell them and destroy their arms industry by our advantage."

Jiang Shan didn't know whether there was a musket manufacturing that defeated Jiannu and others, but what is certain was that the gunpowder used for Jiannu marching and fighting was basically produced by the Ming Dynasty, because the gunpowder from the Ming Dynasty was cheap enough! It was twice as cheap as theirs. This made them directly close their gunpowder workshops.

In fact, it was not just Jiannu, but even European countries used the gunpowder from the Ming Dynasty. The cheap Daming gunpowder changed the form of war, but in the face of the cheap and excellent performance Daming gunpowder, they had to give up their gunpowder manufacturing industry.

Who would buy something with high quality and price?

Now they use it to cool, but what if the war starts in the future?

This is a pure plot, but the problem is that Jiannu has to eat such a plot. After all,... it is delicious if it is cheap!

Then he gave a few more words of advice. Zhu Guoqiang left Guancheng. When he turned around and came down to the city, he said specifically.

"After my guests arrive here, just let him come and meet him."

Who did I come to Jiayu Pass to meet?

This guest is an old acquaintance, but it's still there.

Seeing this guest is second, and more importantly, Zhu Guoqiang has finally learned about the incident in the European continent.

The Heyuan has occupied Constantinople, and the demise of the Ottoman Empire is only a matter of time. This was originally expected, but where is the real surprise?

It's Europe!

On the European continent, France, which was in a semi-segment due to the aristocratic rebellion, became an ally with the Federal Republic of the Netherlands!

France and the Netherlands have formed an alliance!

Why did they form an alliance?

It is to fight against the threat from the Ming Dynasty.

To a certain extent, it is the confrontation between civilizations. Louis XIV has realized this kind of conflict and confrontation in civilizations!

The conflict between the Ming Dynasty and European countries is not economic or territorial, but civilized!

Therefore, France and the Netherlands, two enemies on the European continent, formed an alliance.

It's just France and the Netherlands now, but what about the future?

How did the Ming Dynasty deal with this?

Two days later, Guanxi Governor Chen Zizhuang came to Jiayu Pass from Hami.

The governor of the Ming Dynasty was not necessarily the head of the province. After all, the governor was originally a temporary dispatcher. Although the governor has become a provincial governor, there are also temporary dispatchers in some places, such as the governor of Guanxi. The so-called Guanxi refers to the west of Jiayu Pass. As for how big the governor is, there is never a certain number. In Chen Zizhuang's memorial, he governed the Tianshan immigration site.

Is there a land of the Ming Dynasty?

At least Jiannu still has stationed troops there now, but it does not prevent Chen Zizhuang from going there to govern Anmin. After all, there are nearly 100,000 Ming people living there, so what's wrong with him going to govern his own people?

What? That's not the territory of the Ming Dynasty?

Do you know what national hegemony is?

Wherever the Ming people go, they are all Ming land, which is the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at Chen Zizhuang, whose hair and beards were all white, and he was over 70 years old, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but sigh. Chen Zizhuang was one of the "Three Loyals in Lingnan" in another time and space, and "the people who have to use boards in the world (saw)" was also an allusion that happened to him, but it was such a loyal minister who made a big mistake that year that year leaked the imperial military aircraft.

"Chen Zizhuang, how many years have you not seen me!"

His Majesty’s question made Chen Zizhuang answer quickly.

"It has been more than ten years since I leaked military secrets."

At that time, Chen Zizhuang was the Minister of Rites, but he did something that made Zhu Guoqiang extremely angry and leaked the memorials of the three princes of Feng Xianhuang to his friends overseas. This led to a series of turmoil in the court and the country. Although it did not affect the "dividing the earth and separating the feudal", Chen Zizhuang fought with the Ministry of Rites to the end.

Over the past decade, he first went on a mission to Tibet to serve in Tibet, and later promoted to minister to Tibet, then governed Qinghai, and then governed Guanxi. In short, in the past ten years, he has been staying in the northwest border, far away from the Central Plains.

"Do you regret it?"

Looking at Chen Zizhuang holding a tablet, Zhu Guoqiang asked.

"I am guilty of death!"

When Chen Zizhuang said this, he felt his eyes warm and tears almost flowed down.

He regrets it!

What do you regret?

Are you regretting the choice of that year?

No, what he regrets is that he did not know what is inseparable until many years later!

"Your Majesty, I am the Minister of Rites, and I have disclosed the secrets of the court and beheaded according to the law. Your Majesty will be kind to you outside the law and reflect on yourself. After more than ten years of self-reflection, I have realized how important the court's confidentiality is. I am acting with emotion and abandoning the laws of the court, which will almost ruin the major affairs of the country. I deserve to die!"

This is a psychological saying. In fact, since the day he was exiled in disguise, he had complained, and even said that he had just "made a mistake" instead of "debt". He even leaked the content of the memorial for his friend Kuang Lu at that time at his suggestion. As a result, he was exiled to the northwest border for more than ten years. As for Kuang Lu, he was exiled to the South Heaven Gate and never entered the Ming Dynasty since then.

In fact, even if it is himself, he may not be able to return home.

"The sin deserves death..."

Nodded, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"Chen Zizhuang, leaking military aircraft according to the law is a crime of death. My Ming Dynasty has its own laws. But when you took memorials to the official office, you did not kill me. Even if you did not punish me, how can you correct the laws? In recent years, people have repeatedly written to you and wanted to call you back to the capital. Why did I stop it?"

In fact, Chen Zizhuang has indeed made a lot of contributions over the years. Not to mention that he established the system of ministers in Tibet in Tibet and began to directly participate in Tibet's government affairs, he also made many contributions in Qinghai. As for the achievements of governor of Guanxi, the governor west of Jiayu Pass, from Hamiwei to the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and even in the immigrant areas of Yili and other places, the achievements of comforting the people on the territory of Jiannu were enough to allow him to return to Beijing. But Zhu Guoqiang has been suppressing, not because he could not see his contribution, but because he had to let everyone see the price of leaking state secrets. Even if those people used the law to determine that he was just "debt of duty", outsiders would have to see the price.

Therefore, no matter what, Chen Zizhuang could not return to the center. This was the case when Zhu Guoqiang was alive, even if he died, the same was true. Of course, Chen Zizhuang would definitely not survive him.

"I'm dead!"

Another time, Chen Zizhuang bowed with his scepter.

Looking at the already elderly Chen Zizhuang, Zhu Guoqiang sighed silently and said.

"Actually, the reason why I came here this time is to see you. As for the second, I want to ask you, whether the Ming Dynasty should move troops against the Western Regions and how much chance of winning? The reason I want to ask you is because you are the governor of the Ming Dynasty and have the best understanding of the situation in the Western Regions. So I want to hear what you mean. Although the iron law of the Ming Dynasty is that it is not about martial arts, this matter is just a private discussion between you and me, not a court question. It has nothing to do with the law, and your family just talks bluntly."

The civil servants do not involve martial arts, and the military does not interfere in politics. This is the iron rule formulated by Zhu Guoqiang to attract the lessons of the Ming Dynasty. He even killed people and circulated them in front of civil officials. Why is this happening? Because those censors often impeached the generals of the front-line. If they were not slandering, why would the Ming Dynasty be like this? That's why Zhu Guoqiang formulated this iron rule.

But there are special circumstances besides the iron rule. For example, the current "private discussion" is just a chat between two people.
