Zhu Youjian's face suddenly darkened.

These vassal kings immediately felt the majesty of imperial power.

Only then did they suddenly realize that the emperor had changed, and he became very decisive and determined.

The kind of indecisiveness that used to be has disappeared completely without a trace.

These vassal kings finally lowered their noble heads and did not dare to plead for the three unlucky guys.

Soon the wailing outside stopped, and Qinglong quickly walked into the Palace of Supreme Harmony and bowed:

"Report to the emperor, the three princes have been rectified."

"Very good, step aside."

"Abide by the order"

"Oh my God, the emperor really killed the three vassal kings. These three people are the emperor's relatives..."

All the civil and military officials of the court were very shocked. At first, they thought that the emperor was scaring the three vassal kings.

The princes began to feel their legs were weak and their minds were buzzing.

Zhu Youjian stepped down from the dragon position and walked back and forth around these vassal kings, which immediately made them even more frightened.

"You all tell me clearly that since the Ming Dynasty was in Taizu, there were 87 princes and 934 princes. So far, there are only 25 princes and 154 princes left.

Most of them were killed by bandits and were killed in the whole family. You are all lucky people, and you should feel lucky that you are still alive.

You occupy the best land in the Ming Dynasty. Not only do you not pay a penny of taxes, but you also receive a huge share of food and wages from the court. The salary you receive accounts for about 30% of the total grain output value of the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called officials force the people to rebel.

The people were unable to eat enough and rebelled one after another, almost subverting our Ming Dynasty. And you are so proud of your life and dominate the people's fertile land.

Land reform is imperative.

If there is no reform, the people will rebel again.

You were their goal at that time, and you asked yourself.

If the Ming Dynasty was subverted, there would be no room for you vassal kings to survive.

King Fu was stingy and was cooked into Fushou soup by the bandits. Have you all forgotten it?

I don’t do anything and lose my fiefdom. I still don’t know how to be shameless.

Give you a fiefdom. If a bandit riot occurs again, can you defend it? If the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, you will all have to pay a certain responsibility.

Now I announce that all the vassal kings hand over all the land they occupied, and their salary will be only 10% of the previous ones.

If you have a fiefdom, you cannot pay a penny of taxes.

Three vassal kings who betrayed the court canceled their titles and took back their fiefs, and their tribesmen were sent to their farms for labor.

Don’t tell me that you can’t eat enough, your fiefdom is enough to support your whole family, and you still have 10% of your salary.

If you feel that your income has decreased too much, your family can do business, have surplus labor, and you can also go to local farms to work and earn money to support yourself.

The lost fiefdom of the vassal kings, your fiefdom will be lost forever. Now I have decided to allocate 20 acres of land to each of you equally, and pay 30% of the previous salary.

As long as you have the ability, your family can pass the exam and become a military and serve the country.

You can also rebel, but if you are discovered, all one ethnic group will be killed.

Also, after retreating from the court, you can stay in the capital. There was no ban on summoning the ban that you cannot enter the capital and leave the fiefdom at will. It will be cancelled from today."

After Zhu Youjian said that, he waved his hand and the eunuch immediately called out:

"If you have a prescription, you will leave the court without a prescription."

There will definitely be no one to report the letter now, because the ministers did not react and Zhu Youjian has returned to the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youjian's decision was like a bolt from the blue. It not only made these vassal kings feel as if they were struck by lightning, but also made the civil and military officials in the court frightened. They secretly praised the emperor's wiseness and felt that the emperor was doing too ruthlessly.

In fact, as a time traveler, Zhu Youjian was very clear about the history of the Ming Dynasty. The demise of the Ming Dynasty had a great relationship with these vassal kings, and they were a huge burden to the court.

Zhu You checked that he left a lot of room for these vassal kings, but it was not comparable to before. Even so, it was no problem for them to earn a thousand taels of silver a year.

This does not include the business income of the vassal kings. In the Ming Dynasty, which is about to flourish, they can make a lot of money by relying on their own personal resources.

Even if they did nothing, the vassal kings with fiefs could still receive 10,000 stones of grain from the court a year, which is equivalent to the current 130,000 kilograms of grain.

The vassal kings without fiefs could receive 390,000 kilograms of grain a year, and they were also distributed to them with 20 acres of land per person.

Today's results are all their own sins. If they had not resisted the court's reforms vigorously, Zhu Youjian would not have reduced so much of their salary.

To deal with these people, you must have methods to deal with them, otherwise he will not feel good to him. If you ignore them a little, they will get over it.

As for the King of Zhou who had not made any statement, Zhu Youjian decided to return half of his fiefdom, but he could not lose any taxes, which was a compliment to him.

As for worrying about the rebellion of the vassal kings, this did not exist in Zhu Youjian, and they were defeated in minutes. Zhu Youjian was not close to them, but he was just a time traveler.

After Zhu You retired from the court, the vassal king realized for a long time that the emperor summoned them not to give them good, but to start attacking them.

Facing the Chongzhen Emperor who was at its peak, the vassal kings felt extremely uncomfortable.

But they could only obediently abide by Zhu Youjian's decision. None of them was a fool. If they resisted to the end, the three vassal kings would be his fate.

If anyone dares to rebel, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were both destroyed and Dongkai were now beaten into turtles, they would not do anything that could be overestimated.

These vassal kings were like a cancer growing on the Ming Dynasty.

If the Donglin Party Civil Affairs Group is the biggest cancer, the vassal kings are not small.

On the grassland, Yue Fei Huangde led 50,000 Longteng Army to be invincible, and his troops were wiped out three or four tribes in a row without bloodshed. He annihilated more than 40,000 enemies.

Except for the annihilated enemy, the rest fled to other tribes of the Mongol Yuan.

Now everyone knows that there is a Ming Longteng Army on the grassland. It is very brave and good at fighting and killing people, and has almost no living habits.

Men almost killed them when they saw them, and cattle, sheep, horses, women were taken away, and the places where they passed were deserted.

But some tribes are not convinced. These things are what they are best at. They are all descendants of Genghis Khan and nations on horseback.

How could it be possible to lose to the Han people who only know how to farm and weave cloth, like two-legged sheep.

And the supplies were looted. It would be nice for these Han people to ride horses. Can they have such powerful cavalry?

It must be those cunning Han people who used some conspiracy or tricks, or they used ten times the men and horses of the Mongol tribe.

Looking at the Mongol cavalry who fled back in a panic, they all thought these people were lying and looking for excuses for their incompetence.

However, with the Bahrain tribe, the Zarut tribe and other tribes being wiped out again, the other tribes of the Mongol Yuan finally believed that the Han people did have cavalry and were also very fierce.

It was getting late at this time. In Yue Fei's military tent, Yue Fei, the governor of the Right Army, was setting up tactics and taking out some things that no one had seen before.

These things were just sent from the capital, which was the walkie-talkie that Zhu Youjian drew. There was also a water truck and a dining truck parked outside.

There is no shortage of horses in the grassland. After Yue Fei annihilated four Mongolian tribes, he obtained countless cattle, sheep and horses.

His swords, shields and soldiers were equipped with war horses. Now the cavalry is one person and two horses, and the water bike and dining car are all five horses to pull the car.

When Zhu Youjian drew the water truck and dining truck, he just felt it was suitable for combat in grasslands or deserts.

So it is given to the Longteng Army in the Mongolian Yuan for use.
