Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

And at this moment, in Jiangnan.

After the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to formulate the burial ceremony for the two emperors of the former Ming Dynasty, the news had already spread to the world. Naturally, the Nanming court in Quanzhou would not be unaware.

It was also on this day that Quanzhou, the nominal capital of the Southern Ming Dynasty, was already like the capital city in the north. Every household wore sackcloth and filial piety, and civil and military officials also wore filial piety shirts. The whole city was equally solemn!

"bye!"

Outside Quanzhou city, the altar has already been set up.

Just like the burial ceremony in the Wanshou Mountain mausoleum in the northern capital city, the little emperor led all the civil and military officials of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and they were also conducting the worship ceremony!

However, compared with the solemn ceremony of Longevity Mountain, outside the city of Quanzhou, it seemed extremely desolate.

The coffin of the first emperor was buried by the usurpers and worshiped by the usurpers, but they, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, could only worship thousands of miles away!

Even, maybe in this life, there will never be a day to return to the Central Plains!

Although Nanming is large and has several provinces under its control, none of the rivers and rivers are in the hands of Nanming.

The strong northern army can go south at any time with the momentum of devouring it!

Nanming, there is no danger to defend at all!

Desolate, this place of worship, at this moment, is also indescribably desolate!

Wang Shibei set the Central Plains Day, and the family sacrifices will never be forgotten to tell Nai Weng!

These words, they seem not even qualified to say it!

I can only...wait passively, the coming of the end!

Or day after day, attacking the Jianghe natural danger in an attempt to regain the lost ground, but under the strong defense of the northern army, the Jianghe natural danger is even more solid as a rock.

It's been a long time in vain, with no gains, but loss of soldiers and generals!

"If you want to settle Jiangnan, you must first occupy Penghu and Taiwan, and cut off the false Ming Dynasty's retreat!"

"The hypocrisy on land is vulnerable, and the only thing to worry about is the retreat of the hypocrisy overseas."

"Nan Juyi and Zheng Zhilong have been operating in Penghu, Taiwan for a long time. Now the puppet Ming court is also pouring financial and material resources overseas. Obviously, it has the idea of ​​using Penghu and Taiwan as a way out!"

Li Dingguo, dressed in military armor, pointed at the coastal island of Penghu and Taiwan in the Dazhai of the Ningbo Port Navy, with a loud voice.

"Your Majesty has made a decree that the Ningbo Shipbuilding Department's customs revenue in December can be used for the construction of the shipyard. Now it is the end of the month, and the customs revenue has reached more than [-] taels, which is enough to support the construction of the shipyard."

"There will be a batch of warships from Denglai Shipyard in the spring of next year."

"The general plan is to attack Penghu in the summer solstice next year and attract the fake Ming navy to come. Even if we can't do our best in one battle, we must cut off the fake Ming navy again!"

"Is there any objection?"

Li Dingguo looked around at the generals and asked.

"The last will obey!"

When the generals looked at each other, they also took orders one after another.

"Okay, let's go down and prepare. I will submit the battle plan and wait for His Majesty's order."

The generals retreated one after another, Li Dingguo stood there for a while, then turned around slowly, staring at the map of the sea and territory, his expression could not help but feel a little dazed.

He still remembered that when he first arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he also had this map of the sea and territory, but at that time, it was not the same as it is now, with the Daheng and the hypocrisy, and the two sides confronted each other in the sea, but various forces, big and small, and even the western barbarians. The country is intricately entrenched in the sea, whether it is Daheng or false, it is only a slightly larger existence.

And now, on the vast sea, those intricate forces are either annexed or wiped out under the confrontation between Hengming and Hengming.

What followed naturally was the increasingly powerful Dahengjiang South Navy, and of course, the hypocritical navy also became stronger and stronger.

Even, far stronger than the Jiangnan Navy.

However, the only fortunate thing is that just like the open and secret struggles between the armies of the puppet Ming Dynasty on land, the navy, following the puppet Ming court, tilted its financial and material resources towards the navy, and seemed to have the idea of ​​getting involved in Taiwan as a way out.

And Taiwan was originally the private land of Xiyi and Zheng Zhilong. In this way, the contradiction between the investment faction headed by Zheng Zhilong and the puppet Ming court faction headed by Nan Juyi became more and more obvious and intense.

It is precisely because of this that the Jiangnan navy has been able to use a weak brigade to fight against a strong army, and it has been able to gain the upper hand in various naval battles.

It is precisely because of this that he has the confidence to pretend to attack Penghu. After all, Penghu is occupied by the puppet Ming court, and Zheng Zhilong's confidant lies in Taiwan!

Zheng Zhilong is afraid that Penghu will be threatened, so that it can also cut off the puppet Ming court's meddling in Taiwan.

"This battle has a lot to do!"

Staring at this sea map, Li Dingguo's eyes flickered, and the plan for this battle in his heart spread more and more.

What he thinks, it seems that it is not entirely on this battle.

The most important purpose of this battle is not to wipe out how many naval divisions are false.

Rather, it is to use this to make the conflict between Pseudo-Ming and Zheng Zhilong more intense and more open!

As for his Jiangnan navy, before he has the strength to completely wipe out the false Ming navy, any war on the sea must be for this purpose.

"Defending against friendly forces is like defending against tigers..."

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo couldn't help muttering these words.

As long as the false navy is like its army on land, defending against friendly forces is like defending against tigers...

Then, perhaps it will be the time when the First World War will be done, and the day when the mountains and rivers will be unified.

Chapter 489 Disaster!

"Giggle..."

"Brother, wait for Xiao'er..."

"You guys hurry up!"

"come!"

Outside the Qianqing Palace, the princes and princesses were playing happily on the snow, while hundreds of eunuchs and maids were nervously staring at the princesses who were staggering and running in the arena, for fear of any accidents.

The Son of Heaven sat in the tent that had been set up temporarily, watching this scene with an uncontrollable smile on his lips.

On the side, there are a group of concubines in the harem, all of whom are competing for splendor in their outfits and makeup, like a hundred flowers blooming, just hoping to win more attention from the emperor.

As for the relationship between sisters, it is not worth mentioning under the majestic dignity of the mother, before the supreme position of the Son of Heaven!

Throughout the history, even if the successor position is determined, even if the position of the crown prince is determined, even if the emperor's position is determined, the disputes of the Tian family have never stopped.

What's more, now, the future position has not been determined, and the crown prince's position is even more vacant!

"Jing'er is not bad, she knows how to take care of her younger siblings!"

The emperor sipped his tea, looked at Jing'er who was supporting the little princess, and casually praised her.

Li Yue'er on the side suddenly showed a smile: "Your Majesty, Jing'er has learned a lot of words recently!"

The emperor frowned: "Literacy is good, but don't restrict Jing'er too much. When it's time to let him play, let him play. He is still young, so he is not in a hurry."

"Jing'er dug it out of the bookcase by herself, and she's arguing every day to learn how to read!"

The emperor smiled, but didn't say any more. His princes were all raised by their biological mothers. No matter how much he said about many things, it would not be of much use.

The fight for the heir, the fight for the crown prince, this fight has already started.

It is impossible for him to stop or interfere with what he has set himself.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year, I hope the coming year will be a bumper harvest year!"

As if thinking of something, the emperor suddenly sighed.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, his administration is wise, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It must be a peaceful and peaceful year."

All the concubines immediately echoed and praised, the emperor shook his head, looking at the flying snow all over the sky, he was also full of helplessness in his heart.

As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year, but this snow, every year, this good year... He has never seen it in this world for so many years.

The natural disasters brought about by the Little Ice Age were too terrifying.

Natural disasters, large and small, spread to all provinces in the world. Even when the imperial conquest was fought by the emperor himself and the enemy knocked on his side, the most numerous on his table were never the military reports, but the disaster reports gathered from all over the world!

If in the previous Ming Dynasty, in order to attack the entangled gentry and landlords in various places, he deliberately allowed natural disasters to form civil disturbances and wiped out the old order in a place, thus achieving the effect of breaking and establishing.

Just like today's major military-political integration places, in the past, they were all places of civil chaos, and they all experienced a certain sense of great destruction.

It has become a safe place under his rule, and if there are natural disasters, disaster relief will naturally be needed to ensure safety.

But this disaster, if it is just one place, one prefecture, even if it is just one province, it can be sustained if you bite the bullet, but this continuous natural disaster that spreads all over the place, how can it be so easy to relieve!

The reason why he risked the world's disgrace and carried out such reforms is also an important reason for the continuous natural disasters brought about by the Little Ice Age.

Today is different from the past. The Manchu Qing Dynasty in history was able to survive the Little Ice Age steadily, not only because of the exotic crops of sweet potato and corn, but also because of the chaotic times that lasted for decades since the Chongzhen Year. It only cleared up the ills of the solidified order for hundreds of years, and it also caused the population of this land to decrease sharply.

The population is reduced, land mergers are swept away by troubled times, and with more land to support fewer people, the ability to withstand natural disasters will naturally increase greatly.

As for the current Daheng, even if it is counted from the early years of Chongzhen to the present, it has only been seven years.

Under his suppression, even if the war is endless, it is always within the controllable range, and even if it is out of control, it can subside within a certain period of time each time.

As for the incidents of Hou Jin entering the customs, driving straight in, wantonly slaughtering and looting, it has almost never happened. Even if the Hou Jin and Mongols united to knock down the customs, under the overwhelming force of the sky, most places are still defending against the enemy. Outside the gate of the country, even the land of Xuanfu has always been within the controllable range.

In this way, the population naturally cannot be said to have been artificially reduced too much, and the old order, before the reform was fully implemented, was still mostly entangled in various places. In this already difficult period, it is still crazily absorbing the people's fat and people's ointment.

In this way, today's Daheng is naturally extremely vulnerable to natural disasters!

Even though he has tried his best to promote and deploy all kinds of adaptable exotic crops to various places, he still treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

In this Little Ice Age, Daheng, if it wants to continue, the land is the most fundamental problem.

Otherwise, even if he has made great achievements in this life, what will be left behind will only be as brilliant as Qin's. In the interior, there are already countless undercurrents surging, riddled with holes. !

"Reform..."

The emperor muttered to himself, all the problems still came back to the reform.

However, it is easy to change. Now that the fate of the country has been determined and the world is bowing, reform is just a matter of his words.

However, even now, the thorough investigation caused by the taxation case is still going on, and every moment, some people have their families ruined and their families killed.

Even the newly appointed officials, most of them have already taken office, and they are trembling under the waving blade.

But he really lacks confidence in this governing body!

Since ancient times, officials have always been urinating.

For things that violate their own interests, they use all means to oppose them.

When no matter how much you oppose it, you can't change the facts, that is, you are obedient and violative, there are countermeasures at the top, and policies at the bottom, and even the policy is deliberately distorted, enlarged, and tyrannical, and all kinds of methods are used both openly and secretly!

In the end, the reform became a policy that harmed the country and the people. As the emperor, no matter how much he wanted to persevere, in the end, he might have no choice but to abolish this policy.

By that time, there will only be a record of the failure of Emperor Zhaowu's reform in Qing History.

However, the only fortunate thing is that, at least, he has already taken the most difficult first step. From the world's rebellion and the turmoil of people's hearts, to now, few people in the Daheng world dare to oppose it openly.

And now, this massacre in the whole world, is it possible to deter the hearts of the world who are ready to move?

The emperor didn't know either.

It's just that, he hoped, he could be deterred.

Otherwise, Zhaowu's second largest case, Zhaowu's third largest case, and fourth largest case...

He never minds, let it play out!

……

4 Chapter Ninety

"Up to now, according to the case reported by Jin Yiwei to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the number of people involved has reached more than [-], of which more than [-] were beheaded, and the rest were sent to Liaodong..."

"The number of people involved in this case is unprecedented in history. According to His Majesty, this big case is far from over."

In the cabinet, Lai Zongdao was holding a summary of the case, and his voice was indescribably helpless.

Liu Qiyuan was also silent. In this case, the court and the officials of the world were investigated, but it had nothing to do with the court and the officials of the world.

In the case of Wu Xun's investigation of civil officials, Duke Yasukuni was still in charge. The cabinet, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Procuratorate, not to mention intervening to change the facts of the case, could not even say anything.

The newly promoted cabinet ministers Yang Sichang and Chen Qiyu, at this moment, kept their mouths tightly shut and did not say a word.

They were originally local officials, and entered the court because of this addition. One was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the other was the minister of the Ministry of War. I thought that the addition of cabinet ministers this time would have nothing to do with them who have no foundation in the court. , but in a daze, he became the final winner.

Obviously, Ting Tui is just a ceremony. In the end, His Majesty personally appointed their generals. Otherwise, according to the normal Ting Tui rules, where would it be their turn!

As a local official, he should honestly do his job well, and under the rule of today's emperor, no one has the leisure to trouble them.

But after entering this court that has never been stable, he climbed up to the sky in one step in a daze, and became a cabinet minister, which undoubtedly became the target of public criticism. Obviously, keeping a low profile is the best choice.
