Chapter 4: The tricks of the donkey are exhausted (III)

"Your Majesty, the battle situation in Nan is now determined. Unless there is a change that is difficult to change in manpower, there should be no problem to pacify Jiangnan within the year." Zhuoba had gone, and Lefan said.

"The master means to let me rest with the people, calm the war, and summon all tribes?" Zhu Yinglong changed his mind and understood what Fan was thinking.

"The emperor is wise, I am exactly what I mean."

"I understand that the master is compassionate to the heavens and the others. However, the imperial court's policy on the throne of all ethnic groups is no longer appropriate. I want to change the land and return to the flow. Can the master help me?" Zhu Yinglong had long been thinking of changing the land and returning to the flow. It is a good time to directly include these ethnic minorities under the jurisdiction of the central government. If it stabilizes, it may be a disaster for me to move again.

Liao Fan was slightly surprised. How could he not know what the situation would be if the land was changed and the flow would be implemented? At that time, the financial power and military power of the chieftains of each department would be taken back by the court, and even the power of mineral mining would be taken back together. This means that the financial path of these chieftains and local officials would be cut off. They had no money or power. In the future, all races would not be allowed to be slaughtered by the court. Although he was already a monk, his roots were still Miao people. When he thought of his clans's people being bullied in the future, he would be heartbroken. Besides, when the emperor was once a day, he might not be worried about Zhu Yinglong's reign. What if the kings of later generations changed their current policies? Thinking of this, Liao Fan felt really hard to make a decision.

"If the master has any ideas, even if he says it, I will not treat all races unfairly. Under the policies I have formulated, they will only live a better life, become richer, and will not be bullied again." The limitations of the times, even if it is great wisdom, and if it is the sect of the monks, the ordinary who are empty in the four elements cannot be avoided.

"The emperor has this intention, which is a blessing for all people and for all ethnic groups. However, if the land is changed and the current state will probably be counterproductive." Lefan thought carefully before slowly speaking.

"Master, please tell me, how could it be counterproductive?" Zhu Yinglong was not a person who was determined to do so. Listening to the opinions of his subordinates more is a way to make up for his own shortcomings, and it is also a disguised learning.

"At first settled in the south of the Yangtze River, people were at peace. If the emperor rashly implemented the transformation of land and return to the flow, it would inevitably cause the rebellion of the chieftains of various detainees. This would inevitably lead to a huge change. Although the court had a battle-making army, it would only be too poor to deal with it. The food, grass and military pay was consumed countless times. It would be a heavy burden for the emperor. In history, the destruction of the country was not the external self-reliance, but the internal decay. The emperor's transformation of land and return to the flow was not the best time, otherwise it would be counterproductive." Lefan analyzed.

"In the master's opinion, when should the change of land and return to the flow of the land?" Zhu Yinglong nodded. He admitted that what Fan said made sense, but to really eliminate ethnic conflicts and then ethnic integration, the policy of restraint must be abolished. Only by changing land and returning to the flow of the land and allowing all ethnic groups to live under the same blue sky can we fundamentally solve the historical circle of ethnic minorities being exploited and oppressed, rebelled every three years and rebelled every five years.

"If the emperor can cultivate and revive all races for ten years, then all races will be used to living a comfortable and prosperous life, and the resistance to changing land will be much smaller, and all races will get along more harmoniously in the future." Lefan thought for a while and said.

"What the master said, I will consider. In short, the south of the Yangtze River has not been decided for a day, and changing the land and returning to the flow is just a matter of thought." Zhu Yinglong also knew that Fan's suggestion was correct. Rampantly implementing the land and returning to the flow will only leave endless troubles. He was a little impatient. However, what he was most concerned about was how to break through Nanjing's defense from the inside. The topic changed: "After changing the land and returning to the flow, I would like to listen to the master's opinions on this matter. There is something in front of me. Please plan for me."

When Lefan saw Zhu Yinglong put aside his thoughts of changing the land and returning to the land, he felt very calm. In fact, he knew in his heart that if he really realized the land and returning to the land, he would have many benefits and disadvantages for all races. First of all, all races have an equal status with the Han people, at least they are no longer inferior to others. They are regarded as barbarians and barbaric people, and only harm the interests of a small number of the privileged class of chieftains. Lefan was just worried that the country would be turbulent again, and then the foreign enemies would benefit and destroy the orthodox Chinese. He hurriedly said, "Prince, please say, I should do my best."

Zhu Yinglong immediately informed Yuan Chonghuan of his intentions and the news that he was suspected of being arrested by Cui Ningxiu, the younger brother of the Minister of War of Nanjing.

After hearing this, Lefan closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before opening his eyes, he wanted to slowly say, "The emperor must have used Cui Ningxiu to stir up the water in Nanjing, right?"

"The master is really amazing. He expresses what I think in my heart in one whisper." Zhu Yinglong laughed and praised.

"I think Cui Ningxiu must have not realized that her identity has been exposed. The emperor might as well take advantage of this and fined the ship some money as if nothing had happened, and then released it, and ordered people to secretly monitor it. After he entered Nanjing to meet Cui Chengxiu, he could... "

After hearing Lefan's plan, Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but exclaim, and repeatedly claimed "good": "The master said this, and I suddenly realized it. It seems that I still can't live without the master!"

Lefan hurriedly said, "The emperor praised it, I am ashamed of being accused of it."

Afterwards, Zhu Yinglong ordered people to choose a quiet small courtyard for Fan as a place to practice Buddhism temporarily.

Li Qing’s field hospital is located in Zhenjiang. In the minds of the soldiers of the army, this beautiful doctor is comparable to the Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform. Even the people of Zhenjiang Prefecture have benefited a lot. Many people enshrine her name and tablets, and have been incense for generations.

However, Zhu Yinglong missed this beautiful woman with Lan Xinhuizhi. She spent the first night in Li Qing's room in Zhenjiang. The little farewell is better than the newlyweds. She was so pleased. After the rain, she said beautiful love words, gentle and tender, and had a unique taste.

At this moment, in a merchant ship in Duan Jiangxin, Duan Jiangyin, Cui Ningxiu, who is the secret envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty, was sitting in the bottom cabin with fear. The merchant ship was detained by the imperial navy. He was still a wanted criminal in the Beijing court. If he was recognized, wouldn’t his life be lost? How could he be a person who was afraid of death? If he hadn’t been concerned about his identity and safety, he would have been anxious at this time.

After the lights were dark, the merchant ship docked at Jiangyin Wharf. After Cui Ningxiu and a group of lowly servants were ordered to stay in the bottom cabin and not walk around at will. Their nominal master, the Liaodong merchant Lin Rong, had been invited to the Coast Defense Inspection Department at this moment, and what was waiting for him was the most severe punishment.

When he paid a heavy fine and returned to the ship, it was already late at night. Lin Rong had already defected to the Later Jin Dynasty and used his identity as a merchant to collect information from the Ming court. He was also the most capable general under Fan Wencheng. If it weren't for the trip, Cui Ningxiu, this big traitor would not have exposed his identity. This man was also very famous in the capital, a gentry and celebrity, had a vast friendship, and had contacts with many ministers in the court. Several were closely related. After the court opened the sea ban and the maritime transportation was legal, this man took out a fleet of more than ten merchant ships on his own and started business with the Jin people in Liaodong. This time he personally escorted a ship of northern goods and said he was coming to Yangzhou to develop, but unexpectedly, because of his greed, he was detained by the Maritime Inspection Department by the Maritime Inspection Department. Chen Guang took the fleet to patrol the area, and he was so desperate that he suddenly hit the gun.

But now he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was safely taken by Cui Ningxiu, and the rest depends on Cui Ningxiu's influence on Cui Chengxiu.
