I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

It will take a long time for the news of Zhu Youlang's death to reach Nanjing, but Wu Changqing already knew in advance that Nanming was destroyed.

Because of the system data, the area of ​​his territory has increased significantly.

This means that a large piece of land in the southwest has been brought under Dahua's rule and has become his territory.

Host: Wu Changqing.

The current territorial area is 2.4 million square kilometers, the total resource points are 72 million, and the remaining 68.5 million.

The current area has a population of 80.4 million, a total of 80.4 million science and technology points, and the remaining 56.32 million.

2.4 million square kilometers seems to be small compared to the territory of later generations, but in fact the essence has been basically included in the bag.

Although places like Xinjiang, Tibet, Northeast Mongolia are large, they don't have much effect except to provide Wu Changqing with some resource points, so there is no need to rush to recover them.

They are all sparsely populated places, and there is basically no difficulty in recovering them. It just requires more human, financial and material resources.

When the Southwest was pacified, Nanxiong's rebellion had also been pacified.

In front of the Dahua regular army, those who rebelled with pure cold weapons were a joke.

They are not only backward in weapons, but also backward in tactical thinking.

Neither guerrillas nor other tactics, but simply relying on the city wall to defend.

Unfortunately, what they don't know is that times have changed.

The tall and thick city walls could no longer bring them any security.

With just a few packets of explosives, a large section of Nanxiong's city wall was blown up.

Then the tens of thousands of soldiers who lived in Gan Lulin immediately dispersed.

Gan Lulin was taken to Nanjing to be beheaded, and other landlords who followed Gan Lulin's rebellion were executed in public in Nanxiong.

They are not even qualified to be sent to Nanjing. In front of the violent machine of Dahua, they are as insignificant as ants.

Whether Dahua has them or not, it is the same, without any influence.

As external troubles were resolved, a new round of purges began within the Dahua court.

Any rebel force, from a group of people joining together to cooperate, to the final shape, must be purged without exception.

It does not mean that those who are purged must be bad people, but their existence is definitely not conducive to the unity and development of this force.

In order to improve efficiency, for the stability of forces, and for many other aspects, a force must clean up those different voices.

Since Wu Changqing's uprising, he has not carried out this kind of cleaning, which is already a very abnormal situation.

He originally wanted to use rapid development to solve the conflict of interests between various classes and groups.

Although it has indeed achieved certain results, it has delayed the outbreak of conflicts.

However, the problem has always existed and has not been eradicated.

Wu Chang's indulgence did not satisfy those who were not of the same mind as Wu Changqing, but made them jump up and down even more.

There is no need for such a person to stay in the court anymore.

People who can't be of the same mind as themselves are also a disaster to keep.

The targets of Wu Changqing's purge this time were mainly the Donglin Party.

However, in order not to make the meaning of targeting too obvious, Wu Changqing also added some corrupt officials from other parties to the list of purges.

These big corrupt officials don't know what to do, and they deserve to be punished.

Official corruption is a problem in the world that has never been solved in this world.

Therefore, regarding the corruption of officials, Wu Changqing didn't like Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not want to kill, and stipulated that he would be beheaded if he embezzled dozens of taels of silver.

It didn't really work that way.

How to reduce corruption and bribery, Wu Changqing is still studying and pondering, and has not come up with a good solution for the time being.

Before that, he only punished those who embezzled huge amounts of money as an example.

As for those small amounts of corruption and bribery, this can only be resolved in the future.

The current focus of work is not on dealing with corrupt officials.

In October, a large number of officials were successively taken away by the intelligence agency for questioning.

There were officials from the central court in Nanjing, and there were also some local officials.

There are three officials of the third rank, seven from the third rank, twenty-two of the fourth rank, and more than 80 officials below the fourth rank.

This is Dahua's largest rectification operation since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

On the surface, it is to investigate corruption and accept bribes, but in fact it is to clean up the Donglin party members.

To be more precise, it is to clean up those Donglin party members who hinder land reform.

Among those who were taken away, except for a few who were purely corrupt officials, the rest were basically officials who were secretly obstructing land reform.

Some officials were even bold enough to try to gather a crowd to rebel.

In the secret cell of the Intelligence Bureau, the screams have not stopped since the rectification operation began.

Most people have a bit of luck and are unwilling to take the initiative to admit and explain the problem.

And the people from the Intelligence Bureau will not be polite to them.

They don't really like to abuse those officials, but they want to maintain the image of a cruel official so that other officials who are questioned will fear them.

Many officials could not survive in prison.

This clean-up operation was aggressive, and the officials in the courtroom were all behind their backs.

After all, most of the officials have some problems, and no one is clean. Therefore, they don't know if they will be taken away next.

At this time, they don't even have many means to save themselves, they can only secretly pray to God and worship Buddha.

As the rectification movement continued, some cabinet ministers were also implicated.

Qian Qianyi was called by Wu Changqing to the palace to talk, and no one knew the content of the talk.

In short, after Qian Qianyi came out of the palace, he announced that he was unwell and was unable to bear the heavy burden of the Minister of Rites.

Wu Changqing then issued an imperial decree to keep him again and again, but Qian Qianyi repeatedly refused, insisting on returning to his hometown to recuperate.

In the end, Wu Changqing reluctantly agreed.

This is the relationship between ruler and minister as seen in the eyes of the common people.

The ministers in the DPRK and China knew very well that Qian Qianyi had been demoted.

However, Wu Changqingnian had done a lot for Dahua at his age, and he was not very active in hindering the land reform, but some of his subordinates were chaotic.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Changqing gave Qian Qianyi a hospitable death, allowing him to retire and spend his old age in peace.

As for the matter of power, don't meddle again.

This is the opportunity Wu Changqing gave him. If Qian Qianyi is still restless after being demoted, he will use his personal connections and prestige to continue to do things below.

Then, next time, there is no way to be demoted, only beheading.

Even the Minister of Rites was brought down, and other officials were even more worried.

Some less timid Donglin party members even began to change their positions one after another and chose to support the land reform.

This is an attempt to save oneself, and some people in the know know that this purge is mainly aimed at the land reform opposition.
