The matter of Qiongzhou Prefecture gradually came to an end.
In the end, Old Zhu did not send anyone to Qiongzhou Prefecture. Instead, he ordered the officials of Qiongzhou Prefecture to go to Zhu Bai's place to learn.
As for immigration…
Old Zhu also directly confirmed that it was 100,000 people.
It was 50,000 more than what Zhu Di had promised.
As for the rest, Old Zhu ignored them.
Compared to the remote overseas.
To Old Zhu, the most important thing now was still the inland of the Great Ming Dynasty and the Meng Yuan in the north.
Meng Yuan's strength was still incomparably powerful. They, who had fled far away to the north of the desert, were even more of a headache than the original Meng Yuan.
Because at this moment, they had once again turned into nomads and became a big problem in Da Ming's heart.
In the twenty-first year of Hongwu, the Ming army detected that Tianyuan Emperor Tuogustimur was catching fish in the sea, so Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Lan Yu to lead 150,000 troops to take the opportunity to attack the Northern Expedition in an attempt to extinguish the Yuan Dynasty.
Lan Yu rushed to the Yuan Emperor's place and launched a surprise attack. He defeated the Yuan army. Tuogustimur was killed by his generals while fleeing. Lan Yu captured more than 77,000 people from the Northern Yuan Imperial Clan, including treasure seals, books, gold and silver seals, and countless baggage.
Even so, Old Zhu was still worried.
In addition, although the court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty collapsed, the former Prime Minister of the Yuan Dynasty bit, Taiwei Naier Buhua, Zhiyuan Aru Timur and so on repeatedly became border disasters.
Two years later, Old Zhu had begun to have the idea of continuing the northern expedition.
Very quickly.
His order was quickly passed down.
He ordered Zhu Gang, King of Jin, and Zhu Di, King of Yan, to divide their troops into two routes, with Fu Youde to assist them in leading the army to the north.
This was also the eighth northern expedition in history.
In history, the Northern Expedition had been carried out a total of thirteen times.
And this was only during Old Zhu's time. Following Zhu Di's ascension to the throne, the Northern Expedition was carried out five more times.
But even so, the Mongolia still made the Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen suffer a huge loss during the Tumu Fortress Rebellion.
The strength of the Meng Yuan far surpassed any other race in history.
Even the later Manchu Qing Dynasty could not be compared to it. This was a powerful existence that spanned across Asia and Europe and almost conquered the entire world with its iron cavalry.
In the future.
Even though Meng Yuan was almost beaten to the point of collapse.
In the distant west, a Mongol Empire still wanted to restore the rule of the Mongol Yuan and took action.
In the third year after the Battle of Jingnan, the Timur Dynasty took advantage of the severe loss of the Ming Dynasty's national strength and led an army of more than 200,000 people to invade the east under the banner of blaming Zhu Di for betraying his father and harming his nephew. At the same time, they ordered the domestic reserve team and the reinforcements from the vassal countries to follow up one after another. The total number reached a million.
However, the distance was too far, and the Mongolian Lord died of illness halfway.
However, this was enough to prove Meng Yuan's strength.
Back then, Mongolia had almost been defeated by Old Zhu.
However, there were still huge Khanates standing there.
Old Zhu was extremely wary of this.
When October arrived.
Zhu Di led the army and set off.
On the other side, news was also sent to Qiongzhou Prefecture.
Ten days later.
The prefect of Qiongzhou Prefecture, Wang Qiuhao, received Old Zhu's questioning.
Looking at this accusation, Wang Qiuhao smiled bitterly and helplessly.
There was also a sigh.
He knew this was the case.
In just half a year, King Qiong had developed to such an extent, but he was still in the middle of nowhere. It was already considered that Old Zhu was open-minded that he did not directly get rid of him.
"Everyone, what should we do?”
"Your Majesty, you are blaming us for being so poor despite our wealth. Your Majesty has ordered us to quickly reorganize and the Imperial Court will no longer give us any financial aid!”
Wang Qiuhao smiled bitterly and looked at everyone present.
"Lord Wang, does Your Majesty not understand the situation? How can Qiongzhou Prefecture be rich?”
An official couldn't help but open his mouth.
At this moment, they were also a little dumbfounded.
Wealthy? How could Qiongzhou Prefecture be wealthy?
How could they be rich in this desolate place where they couldn't even eat their fill?
"That's right, Lord Wang. Should I tell His Majesty about the situation here?”
"Milord, without the aid of the Imperial Court, it would be very difficult for Qiongzhou Prefecture to continue!”
.......
One by one, the officials spoke up. At this moment, they could not help but become anxious.
Without the support of the Imperial Court, they would never be able to become local officials. Only they knew what the Qiongzhou Prefecture was like.
"Everyone, I forgot to mention that you should know that Her Highness King Qiong is in our Qiongzhou Province.”
"Prince Qiong has only been here for half a year. Ten days ago, she sent 500,000 catties of grain to His Majesty and said that the grain here is abundant. In the future, it will be able to provide a million catties of grain!”
Hearing the anxious voices, Wang Qiuhao smiled bitterly.
However, he still opened his mouth when he saw everyone arguing.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present could not help but widen their eyes.
"How is that possible?"
"This!"
"A million catties of grain!"
As they widened their eyes, they cried out involuntarily.
All the officials present could not calm down at this moment.
What a joke.
Qiongzhou Prefecture could provide so much food.
Moreover, it was a prince who had arrived in Qiongzhou Prefecture within half a year. How could they believe it?
Qiongzhou Prefecture was really poor.
Perhaps it was not enough to describe it as being in the middle of nowhere.
It might be possible to produce two crops a year here, but the population was sparse and the land was barren. Most areas could not be used as farmland.
Even if they could, they would have found fertile land, and it would be difficult to organize a large population to reclaim it.
Currently, there were only tens of thousands of Han people in the entire Qiongzhou Prefecture. Including the mountain people, there were less than 100,000 people. How could they provide a million grains?
One had to know that the mountain people did not like to farm.
"This is absolutely true!"
"Everyone, I went to King Qiong's palace last month. There were indeed hundreds of industries developing there, and it was a prosperous scene!”
he said with a sigh. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even Wang Qiuhao wouldn't have believed it. However, this was the truth.;
