Chapter 824 You Can Rescue It

Du Yinxi originally wanted Zhao Ming to become a tyrant who wanted to depose the monarch and wanted to rebel, but today the cabinet was discussing matters, but found that Zhao Ming was not that simple.

Being willing to use a knife to strengthen the strength of the court means that His Highness the Regent can still be rescued.

At least now, the Regent has not yet become Sima Zhao, and at most he can be considered an early Prime Minister Cao, and he is also a Prime Minister Zhao with this passion.

For a moment, Du Yinxi changed his original idea and decided to help Prime Minister Zhao, hoping that he would not go astray.

Zhao Ming was very happy to see Du Yinxi's support, "With the support of the gentleman, Gu Wang believes that the Ming Dynasty will soon be able to unite."

Zhao Ming looked at Du Yinxi, knowing that the cabinet was discussing matters, he had already entered Du Yinxi's heart, so he continued to make a move and said sincerely: "Sir, I'll ask you in the future."

Although Du Yinxi changed some of his thoughts, he was still very alert to Zhao Ming, avoiding his hot eyes, and bowed, "Dare not to obey!"

The next day, Zhao Ming, as the King of Han, submitted a statement to the court, saying that he was willing to return the lands of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Liaodong, Fujian and Guangdong, and return the Maritime Bureau, and organized the elite Han army into imperial guards of the court, and 6 million taels of taxes borrowed from the Han Guofan Government to pay salaries, reward soldiers, and resettle refugees.

As soon as the memorial was released, the whole country was shocked, and the government and the country praised the regent Wang Xianming. Even Zhu Youlang, who had always ignored the government affairs in the harem, cried so much.

Although Zhu Youlang is not a master of talent and strategy, his IQ is not a problem. It can be seen that Zhao Ming's move has strengthened the strength of the Nanjing court.

Thinking that not long ago, the Regent withstood the pressure, gave him a speech to the girl in Jiangnan and solved his personal problems, he couldn't help but feel moved.

Zhu Youlang couldn't help but say, "With the regent here, I have no worries!"

However, Zhao Ming's many confidants were a little worried about this matter.

These territories are in the hands of the Han Kingdom, and they are all belonged to the King of Han. Unless the Han Kingdom is destroyed, no one can take them away.

However, if it is handed over to the Nanjing court, it is no longer the King of Han.

Although the King of Han served as the Regent of Nanjing, the Han Dynasty was hereditary, but the Regent could not be hereditary and might be dismissed. After all, the nominal master of the Nanjing court was the emperor, not the Regent.

This made many confidants worried that their efforts today would be nothing in the future.

Zhao Ming just smiled and comforted his subordinates, so that they didn't have to worry about it.

Seeing Zhao Ming's smile, my subordinates thought that Zhao Ming was confident and thought that the king was now in power, and that all the troops and imperial guards in Nanjing were in control of the king. It was only a matter of time before the emperor was abolished, so there was really nothing to worry about.

Many people also think that they have seen the king's routine clearly, but they just want to play Wang Mang and Cao Pi's tricks, so why did they abdicate? The military officials are very dissatisfied with this. They have soldiers and money, so it's so troublesome.

The next day, Zhao Ming issued an order to approve the Qing Dynasty in the name of Zhu Youlang, and praised himself well, comparing himself to Duke Zhou.

After the imperial court ordered the imperial decree, Zhao Ming immediately made his son, Zhao Xin, the prince of the Han Dynasty, appointed Yang Wencong to govern the Han Dynasty, and moved the Han Dynasty to Luzon.

The Han Dynasty was very surprised by Yang Wencong, the airborne leader of the government, and believed that the position of generals should not be given to an outsider. However, after Zhao Ming said that Yang Wencong was he who was stationed in the secret room of the court, and after serving him for fifteen years, everyone stopped.

Fifteen years, that was definitely an old revolution.

The Han Dynasty moved its vassal state overseas, while the officials in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong were transformed into officials of the Nanjing court. The whole process was not complicated and did not form chaos.

In October, after the autumn harvest, the changes in the Nanjing court were completed. After the money and grain, the various departments of the court immediately ran at full speed.

First of all, all the salaries of officials were paid, the rewards of soldiers were implemented, and the promotion and appointment of officials were completed, which enabled King Zhao Ming of Han to gain extremely high prestige, was deeply supported by the government and the public, and his status as a regent is unbreakable.

At this time, Zhao Ming selected 450,000 troops from the 50th Han army, recruited 50,000 troops, totaling 500,000 troops, and organized them into Nanjing Imperial Army. The remaining 50,000 Han army, together with their relatives, moved to Luzon and continued to be the soldiers of the Han Guofan.

At the end of October, the imperial guards had been implemented, and the departments had also undergone half a year of training. In addition, taxes from Nanzhili, Zhejiang and other places were lifted out, so the Nanjing court was very good at soldiers and enough food.

Long before occupying Fujian and Guangdong, the annual taxes of the Han Dynasty were as high as 15 million taels. Now the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty was returned to the court, and the Nanjing court immediately entered the annual income of 14 million silver dollars.

Logically speaking, the essence of the Han Dynasty is Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the tax source is mainly in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. The Nanjing court should have received at least 15 million taels of taxes. However, because major maritime merchants and Huaxing Company were not willing to transfer the registration place to the Ming Dynasty, most of the taxes of these companies were handed over to the Han Dynasty, and then the Han Dynasty intercepted 60% and the remaining 40% were handed over to the court.

For merchants and gentry, their power can already control and influence the policies of the Han Dynasty, but it is difficult to affect the Nanjing court, so they hope to reasonably evade the imperial taxes.

In this way, the court's taxes were reduced by a large part.

But even so, the treasury of the Nanjing court was immediately sufficient.

Now the Nanjing court has soldiers, money, food, and strong morale. Zhao Ming immediately decided to put troops on the Yangtze River and prepare to cross the river to expel the Qing army in Jiangbei, so that the old and weak Jiangbei army could not hold on to the Jiangbei.

At the end of October, Li Chengdong, the former commander of the Jiangbei Army, obtained the food and equipment allocated by the court, first led his troops across the river and came ashore from Guazhou. Then, the imperial guards of the imperial court also crossed the river from the ferry crossings of the Yangtze River and entered Jiangbei.

Since last year, the Qing army has invaded Jiangbei and has been entrenched for more than a year. Except for Yangzhou that has not been captured, the rest of the cities have fallen into the hands of the Qing army.

For Yangzhou, it was not that the Qing army could not defeat it, but that Ajige's purpose was to plunder Jiangbei and subsidize the empty Eastern Qing treasury. He did not want to go to war with the Southern Dynasties on a large scale, so he did not attack Yangzhou to prevent the Ming Dynasty from agitating a counterattack.

At present, the Qing army was scattered in various parts of the north of the Yangtze River to eat, and the Ming army crossed the river like a flood to cleanse the filth. The Qing army rushed to hear the news, and they all swept the people to rebel north. The Jiangbei elders who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty were like drought and raining, and they all ate pots of slurry to welcome the king's army.
