Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

After nodding his head, Emperor Chongzhen asked, "Then, did the Duke of Cheng and the Duke of England agree on the date of return? Have the food and lodging for the common people been arranged along the way?"

But just after the question was finished, Emperor Chongzhen let out a chuckle, shook his head and said, "That's all, don't ask any more questions. Let's take a look at this letter together, all lovers."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Come here, first take the messenger down to have a good rest, and prepare meals and drinks."

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's smiling expressionless face, all the civil and military officials in the big tent suddenly became curious.

The joy and anger of Emperor Chongzhen, the civil and military officials have no way of guessing, and they dare not guess, as long as they honestly do what they should do-I don’t know how many idiots who speculated on Tianxin have died, civil and military Baiguan also didn't want to take the initiative to jump out and die.

After Wang Chengen handed over the letter to Lai Zongdao and others to read, Lai Zongdao bowed first and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's heavenly power spreads far and wide, and it is all thanks to your majesty's great blessing that Ershan Kingdom surrendered without a fight." !"

Compared with Wen Tiren, who always "dedicates himself to the king and everyone thinks it is a lie", Lai Zongdao's reputation is a little bit stronger, but now he is bragging, and other people are also curious, and they squeezed over one after another, intending to take a look at this What exactly is written in the letter.

After everyone else had passed it on, the civil and military ministers bowed together and said, "Honor, congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"

PS: The third update is here, [-] words have been updated today.

Chapter 653 A Cage and a Bird

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen still had a little regret in his heart.

After all, Balpukan's request for enclosing was forced to request enclosing because the army had already entered the territory of Ershan.

But North Korea, Ryukyu, and Myanmar, it is completely because Da Ming's father is mighty, and Da Ming's father is domineering, so they think about it.

There is little comparability between the two.

If the Ershan Kingdom had voluntarily requested to include it early in the morning, the data on paper would have been much better-at least, it would have been able to support a large number of Qingliu literati, and there would be a lot of colorful articles on this matter.

After Zhu Chunchen's letter returned to Emperor Chongzhen's shore again, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to Lai Zongdao: "Balpukan, the lord of the Naershan Kingdom, will come to Myanmar for a pilgrimage in the near future, and I need to trouble you to deal with it. Are you in love?"

Lai Aiqing bowed after leaving the class and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, it is really a great fortune for me to be at the tail of such a grand event.

However, I dare to ask Your Majesty, what should I do with those survivors of the former Tang Dynasty? "

Emperor Chongzhen said: "My dear friends, you might as well discuss it first to see how to arrange it first."

Come to Zongdao to understand in seconds.

Disposal and arrangement have similar literal meanings in the two words, but when they are spoken by different people, the meanings of these two words are very different.

When he himself used the word disposition, Emperor Chongzhen switched to the word resettlement silently, so the focus of today's discussion will be on the word "people".

According to the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen, these ex-Tang remnants must be treated as the same people as the people of Ming Dynasty, so the word resettlement was used, otherwise, the word disposal is the most appropriate.

Since it involves settlement and placement, first of all, we must consider the wishes of these ex-Tang survivors—whether they want to go back to Daming to live, or they want to stay here.

In fact, from the perspective of Lai Zongdao, it is the most suitable choice for these adherents to stay in Manipur.

Anyway, the entire Ershan Kingdom has been attached to Ming Dynasty. At that time, whether it is Assam or Manipur, it will become the territory of Ming Dynasty, just like Myanmar. How to manage it.

Even the Ministry of Railways has to re-plan and design the line, taking into account places such as Assam, Manipur, and Myanmar, and carry out unified planning and construction.

But what if these people are willing to return to Daming?There are many things to consider, far more troublesome than keeping them in Manipur.

First of all, after these people return to Daming, hundreds of thousands of people are nothing compared to the base of [-] million Daming people, but you have to arrange food and accommodation for these people, right?At that time, will the Ministry of Households pay the money or the internal funds will pay the money?

How should these people be accommodated?Did they break up and mix in with the common people of Daming?Or pick another place for them, let them live together, and then add sand to it step by step?

Moreover, whether it is to find another place or disperse the resettlement, it actually involves the biggest problem-these people must be allocated land, right?

If the land is not allocated to others, what will they eat?What to drink?You don't even have food and drink, so what are you waiting for if you don't rebel?Could it be that the imperial court has been feeding these people with money and food?

If the imperial court didn't support them, these people would have nothing to eat and drink, and then they rebelled violently under the banner of restoring the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, whoever supports these people to return to Daming today will be in bad luck.

Lai Zongdao didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen would soften his heart because of his gray hair.

After discussing with a group of ministers for a long time, Lai Zongdao approached the generals of the general Xundao and began to study.

However, after studying for a long time, Lai Zongdao did not come to a reliable conclusion.

The big bosses of the military general Xungui swore that no matter what happens to these survivors of the former Tang Dynasty, they will not be able to make waves in Daming. If anyone dares to jump, they will just be pressed to death.

But Lai Zongdao dare to believe this kind of nonsense?

What these warriors said was pleasant, but once these people rebelled, they would definitely be unlucky first, and then they would have to recruit a large number of colleagues.

And these warriors can hold their swords and sing songs to suppress the rebellion and share military merits-all the benefits belong to the warriors, and all the disadvantages fall on themselves.

After tangling for a long time and discussing with many bigwigs for a long time, Lai Zongdao coughed and signaled the civil and military ministers to go to their respective positions.

After the big tent became quiet again, Lai Zongdao bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I just discussed with all my colleagues, but there are many difficulties regarding these survivors of the former Tang Dynasty."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed meaningfully before asking, "For example?"

Lai Zongdao bowed like a bow: "The biggest problem is the land. There is not much free land in the Central Plains. Even if the vassals have replaced their fiefs overseas, the vacant land may still not be enough to distribute to these people.

People without land will be uneasy, and even eating and drinking will become a problem for the people without land, and the government cannot keep such people all the time-this is also unfair to other people.

Therefore, what Chen meant was, can we first seek the opinions of these people to see if they would stay in Manipur or would they like to return to Daming?

It would be great if these people would stay in Manipur.

If these people are not willing to stay and want to return to Daming, they can actually adopt another method of placement. "

Emperor Chongzhen was a little interested now.

If these people are willing to stay in Manipur, it is really not a big problem-the most troublesome thing is the bureaucracy, which needs to select enough officials to come to Myanmar.

In line with the principle that one sheep is driven and two sheep are released, it is enough for the official department to get more people out, at worst, give Mr. Guo some year-end bonuses.

After these officials arrive, Assam and Manipur are basically no different from those places in the mainland of Ming Dynasty—they all follow the Ming law, they all speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, and even the imperial examinations are the same A set of things, what else is different?

Just like Xinming Island, can the people on Xinming Island still feel the difference between Xinming Island and Daming?

The answer is no.

After cleaning up the barbarians on Xinming Island, Xinming Island is almost exactly the same as Daming mainland, except that it is farther away from Daming.

But Emperor Chongzhen himself knew that it was not very possible for these people to stay in Manipur.

It is said that the homeland is hard to leave. From the Tianbao period to the Chongzhen period, a full thousand years have passed, and this place has probably become their homeland.

However, these people are Han people through and through, and the nostalgia for the land of the Central Plains in their bones cannot be erased no matter what.

In particular, in the past thousand years, although they have thrived in Manipur, it is normal for them to fight endlessly during these thousand years. Coupled with natural disasters and man-made disasters, I really have to say how deep these people are in Manipur. feelings, but not necessarily.

Therefore, these people have a high probability of choosing to return to Daming.
