Palace.

"Your Majesty has an order to entrust all foreign affairs to the prime minister, so there is no need to see you."

Chen Lin, who was full of heavy armor, blocked the palace gate and said.

Behind him was the imperial camp, waiting for battle, and even the cannons were mounted on the city wall, but Yang Feng didn't have to worry about anything.

Now the emperor dares not attack him.

In fact, without the support of him and the Red Turban Army, His Majesty the Emperor was still dead.

Zou Yuanbiao and Dingsheng Army were indeed defeated, but the war had just begun. There were only four troops around Nanchang. Wu Guang led two other troops in Yueyang, but he was alone. The only result of a fight was to be trapped to death, unless he ran to Wuchang to join forces. On Jiangxi, the gentry could mobilize several times the troops that the imperial camp could have.

The emperor cannot win.

It doesn’t mean that he wins with the support of the people.

In Jiangxi and Huguang, gentry held absolute control of the local area.

Wuchang was successful because it was a military base and had a sufficient number of workers and weapons. Nanchang actually won a narrow victory. Without Yang Feng, he would still lose. He knew this, so he would rather find Yang Feng to conquer the market. However, without Yang Feng's presence, he would have been killed on the altar. Similarly, the battles in the city would also be lost. Even if the imperial camp could be temporarily defended, it would be useless. As long as Mei Guozhen's army arrived, he would still lose.

And he didn't even have a way out.

If he lost here, it would be impossible to return to Guangdong. The Guangdong gentry would have been waiting to kill him long ago.

What's more, if Yang Feng dies here, the Red Turban Army will definitely avenge Yang Feng.

So his daring to attack Yang Feng was purely suicide.

but……

The emperor would not be stupid enough to be controlled by him again.

"What is this about Mr. Chen? Could it be that Yang will not be able to go to the palace to see His Majesty's injuries? Or is it that you, Chen Lin, who is in house arrest, and you, want to hold the emperor to order the princes?"

Yang Feng shouted.

Chen Lin glanced at him sadly.

"I'm messing around again!"

Then a familiar voice sounded behind Chen Lin.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial concubine walked out gracefully, and Chen Lin quickly retreated aside.

By the way, His Majesty the Emperor now has no more imperial court. The ministers are waiting in prison. The chief minister has died. The number one eunuch has found half of it. Chen Lin was spared before he was presided over the imperial camp in the city. He was also the one who mobilized the imperial camp to defend. This veteran was the head coach of the imperial camp system. The emperor was the only one who could assist him. I have to say that their old husband and wife have once again shared weal and woe. His Majesty, who wandered around the world, finally found his true love.

"Your Majesty is healing, and you will not see anyone for the time being. You can make your own decisions about the outside. If you need an imperial edict, please contact us."

The imperial concubine said.

"Imperial Concubine, you can't even let me see His Majesty!"

Yang Feng said.

"You can't even believe me? Come here, I will teach you a good lesson!"

The imperial concubine said.

"Well?"

Yang Feng had no choice but to follow her to a room next to him.

"Your Majesty is very injured. I guess even if you can be rescued, you will not be able to get out of bed within one or two years. You can do whatever you want during this period, but don't be too arrogant. The imperial camp is Your Majesty's personal army. Both Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are directly under the jurisdiction of the Guangzhou court. If you have the ability, you will solve it yourself.

As long as you take it, it will be under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Supervisor. Even if you don’t want the prince to be the governor, you can still continue to be the princess and regent.

The name of regent is not suitable, just change it to a princess and state dictatorship.”

The Imperial Concubine said very simply.

"Your Majesty still doesn't trust me!"

Yang Feng said sadly.

"Hmph, don't pretend to be confused, treat each other honestly. Your Majesty will no longer be controlled by you, but Your Majesty will not care about the north. You leave the six provinces to Your Majesty, and you will do whatever you want in other places."

The imperial concubine snorted coldly, pinched him hatefully and said.

"Don't blame me for wrongly accusing me. When did I control Your Majesty? I am protecting Your Majesty. The outside world is very dangerous. Look at the dangers of leaving my protection in the past two years. If you have been in Yingtian Palace, you will not be bombarded over and over again. So I still think that Your Majesty would be better off going to Yingtian or the capital.

Especially in the capital, the Empress Dowager is old and His Majesty should go back and fulfill his filial piety."

Yang Feng said.

Of course, the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother is in good health!

In fact, she had to live for more than ten years in history, and she regained her spirits over the years and defended her country for her son again.

The specific way is to win over those vassal states, including the Mongolian princes and princes.

She had believed in Buddhism, and now she personally presided over the construction of temples on the grassland. She contacted the plateau and invited monks to these temples. Now she is like a living Bodhisattva of the grassland people, and is celebrating the kindness of the Empress Dowager everywhere. However, because of her actions, it is reconnected with the plateau. In addition, the Jurchen tribes also began to receive her rewards, and then built temples in the Yehe tribes, Shurhaqi and others.

It is said that Li Chengliang also needs to build a temple in Nuergan City so that the wild Jurchens can also worship.

There was originally something there.

As for the funds...

The old lady has a lot of stock in her hands.

In the past, I just couldn't bear to take it out, but now in this situation, there is no other choice.

Moreover, the emperor has given her a lot over the years. She is still doing business through her nephews, and even just bringing out the things in the palace to sell.

After all, I have controlled the world in the past. Once I switched my state, I immediately found my past feeling. In short, I helped the woman in the palace with ambitiousness...

Probably, it's also insecure.

"Hmph, the first time the one who bombarded Your Majesty seems to be your subordinates, right? The second time the one who bombarded Your Majesty seems to be your subordinates, right? The third time the one who bombarded Your Majesty seems to be your subordinates, right? Your subordinates also want to kill Your Majesty. We are not outsiders anymore, we are all honest. Even if you really don't want to usurp the throne, you can't stop your subordinates from applying your yellow robe, you don't want to really become a regicide, right? Since this is the case, why can't your Majesty's wishes be fulfilled?

If he wants to go to Guangzhou, let him go, and the left and right are the area.

I think you don’t like these places. They are all poor places with vast land and sparse populations. It’s just that Guangzhou is still rich. Your Majesty is there and you are in the north, so that you will not be killed by your subordinates one day.

You are still a loyal minister.

He was also the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.”

The Imperial Concubine said gently.

"It seems to make some sense, but I think there are really a lot of six provinces."

Yang Feng said.

This mode is actually good.

The key is that he really can't guarantee whether his subordinates will kill the emperor and then give him a yellow robe.

Especially, he can't really stay in Yingtian all the time next.

What if his impatient generals directly let His Majesty die when he went out?

This kind of thing is entirely possible. He is indeed not going to be an emperor, but his subordinates all want him to be an emperor!

"Then how many do you say?"

The imperial concubine said angrily.

"Just take out Sichuan, just the rest."

Yang Feng said.

"Your Majesty will not care about the deal, at most, and the order will be issued by Yingtian in Sichuan will be controlled by Yingtian in the future."

The imperial concubine said happily.

Originally, Sichuan could not bring any benefits to the emperor. There had not been any real taxes there for many years. Yang Feng wanted to solve the problem with Liu Jing first.

Sichuan can immigrate on a large scale.

Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty had not had a large population, probably not more than 10 million, and the official number was only three million.

According to the previous census results, the actual population of the Ming Dynasty can basically be multiplied by two or five, which means between seven hundred and eight million. The peak of Sichuan population in the Southern Song Dynasty was close to 20 million, and it has not recovered since it was killed by the Mongolians. There is enough land there to dilute the increasing population in Jiangnan...

The Red Turban Army controlled areas are ushering in a continuous rapid population growth due to improved living conditions and improved medical and health conditions.

After the militia in most places became married, they had to reclaim wasteland from other places.

That is Huaixi.

But soon the wasteland in Huaixi will be reclaimed.

Moreover, there will be the militia of Jiangxi and Huguang. Jiangxi is also overcrowded, and its population here is second only to Nanzhili. Considering that the wasteland of Fengyang in southern Zhili can dilute the population, while Jiangxi will be squeezed into population residential areas by Poyang Lake and mountainous areas. In fact, the population density should be higher than that of Nanzhili. Huguang has wasteland, but the problem of schistosomiasis in Huguang is difficult to solve, so Sichuan becomes the most suitable for diluting the population.

As for the north, we cannot immigrate, after all, the north will be the hardest hit area next.

It is enough to maintain the current population in the north, but in fact it has to migrate some to the south. After all, the militia areas around the capital have also ushered in rapid population growth.

It's also difficult for Yang Feng.

The key lies in the subsequent Little Ice Age.

Not only does he not have the reduction of the dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, but he will instead hit this small ice age with a peak population birth period. As for the current population growth rate of the militia area, if it is enlarged to the whole country, then when the real natural disaster falls in thirty years, the population of the Ming Dynasty may exceed 400 million.
