Chen Bangyan actually read this map when he got the newspaper.

The map covers all areas where the Ming Dynasty had the largest territory and some surrounding countries, but uses colors and text to distinguish areas that are no longer ruled by the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty controlled area is crimson.

In some areas of northern Shaanxi, Shanxi, Northern Zhili, Shandong, Liaodong and the original Nuergandusi were all dyed dark blue, and a clear and humiliating four words "Pseudo-Qing Occupy" were written, and the "Pseudo-Qing Occupy" was also marked on Beijing.

Among them, in the central grassland and in the northern part of Nuergan, it was dyed light blue, marked with the words "Khalkha Mongol" and "Soren", and brackets indicated "under the control of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty".

In the large area of ​​the western grassland, it is marked as dark green and marked as "Verat Mongolian Tribal Alliance (Jungar Tribe is the leader).

In some areas bordering the Ming Dynasty and the pseudo-Qing Dynasty in the southeast of Weilat, the "Original Seven Tribes of Guanxi" and the names of some garrisons in Shaanxi and Gansu, indicating that Weilat has eroded many territories in the western part of the Ming Dynasty!

Below the Weilat is the Yarkand Khanate, dyed white, and the brackets indicate "vassal states".

In the south of Yarkand, there is the "Hoshuot Khanate (formerly Uszangdus)" dyed in dark purple. That is to say, Uszang of the Ming Dynasty is now occupied by new forces.

Then on the border of Yunnan, some prefectures and counties were dyed light red, indicating that "the chieftains are completely autonomous and are not controlled by the court for the time being."

Going further south, it is the gray-colored "Vietnam (formerly the Jiaozhi Governor)" and some areas of Myanmar (formerly the Ming Dynasty chieftain).

Finally, there are some vassal states of the Ming Dynasty on the outside, such as Korea, Japan, Ryukyu and some Southeast Asian countries.

In short, from this map, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has been reduced by more than half compared to its heyday, and has changed from the Ming Dynasty to the "Xiao Ming"...

Chen Bangyan did not sigh at the changes in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. His eyes mainly focused on the three provinces of Jiangbei, Henan and Shaanxi in the actual controlled areas of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of the content on the military page, he vaguely understood the strategic deployment of the court, and his expression became even more excited...

In the Forbidden City, the Cabinet, the Military Council, the Censorate, and the Justice Council, all officials from the seventh rank and above were published a copy of the "Da Ming Pao" (website).

Among them, the yamen of the Censorate was set in Wenhua Hall by Zhu Ma.

Of course, as a building complex that is equal to Wuying Hall, the Wenhua Hall has a large hall and many rooms. It is not just a yamen in the Censorate, but also the Hanlin Academy, Tongzhengsi, and the four temples of Taichang, Taipu, Guanglu, and Honglu.

Speaking of which, among the five temples of Daming, not only was Dali Temple removed from the list because of the emergence of the Legal Council, but the remaining four temples are now seriously short of staff, and everyone saw that Zhu Mai did not mean to make up for the missing staff - at least there was no hurry to make up for it.

The Censorate now has more officials than before, so the yamen occupied the main hall and the front hall of Wenhua Hall.

The duty rooms of the left and right censors are all in the main hall, and they are actually one room.

The to-do official posted a weekly issue of the Ming Dynasty newspaper on Jiang Yueguang and Gao Hongtu's desks, and the two looked with critical thinking.

Zhu Mai Yu taught Liu Rushi to recommend the promotion to the Propaganda Department, which they only learned yesterday.

This is because yesterday, eunuchs sent Zhu Ma's oral orders to various departments, requiring officials from the seventh rank or above in Beijing to read the three major pages of politics, military and cultural in the weekly issue of the "Da Ming Pao".

Otherwise, the two of them would know about this.

Although according to the current rules of the court, the Censorate basically cannot control any orders given by the emperor, the two of them have experienced several old ministers of the emperor and have been used to the way they operated before the Ming Dynasty, and their mentality is difficult to change for a while.

Therefore, the two of them were quite unhappy about Zhu Mai's appointment as an official and asked him to run the "Da Ming Pao".

Since this is the case, I will naturally not like the Daming Pao.

As soon as Gao Hongtu touched the newspaper, he shook his head and sighed, "Oh, it's just another newspaper. He actually made such exquisite printing with such good paper. I don't know how much money he spent."

Jiang Yueguang on the other side also had this idea. He chuckled and added, "Maybe I asked the Emperor to help a lot. I don't know how many immortal veins and magic power the Emperor used."

Obviously, Jiang and Gao still regard future generations as immortals and Hao Guangming as immortals.

If a person from later generations heard the conversation between the two, he would probably suspect that he had come to the mythical version of the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately, Gao Hongtu stared at the Ming Dynasty flag on the cover and said, "There are so many changes in this newspaper printing the national flag. It must be approved by His Majesty? If Liu Rushi did it privately, we must write her book."

"It must be the instructed by Your Majesty." Jiang Yueguang said, and opened the newspaper to read it.

He had already understood the political "news" on the first two pages, and after reading it, he said: "The new policy can be implemented so well in Yingtian Mansion. It is also a contribution to our Censorate, but it has not been mentioned at all. It seems that Liu Tiju did not take my Censorate to heart."

"Whether this newspaper said that our contributions are small matter?" Gao Hongtu took a sip of tea and continued: "I see that His Majesty has become more and more confident in the new policy in this newspaper and magazine language, but he does not know that it is simple to do anything in a mere state with the manpower and material resources of the court.

But if the new policy is expanded to the entire Southern Zhili and Chongqing province in another month, it will probably not be so easy, and many problems will arise."

Jiang Yueguang laughed and said, "That may not be a bad thing - we can persuade Your Majesty to cancel some new policies and focus on the old system."

Gao Hongtu also smiled a little after hearing this.

The two of them read the military content on a page soon.

Although they had many dissatisfaction with Zhu Ma's major reform of the court system and the implementation of the new policy, the two admired Zhu Ma's military achievements and could even be said to be convinced.

Seeing the newspaper showing the court's determination to conquer Shaanxi, both of them felt that Captain Lao Huai was.

"It seems that you and I will be able to see that the court has returned to the capital in our lifetime." Gao Hongtu smiled, stroking his almost white beard.

Jiang Yueguang said: "It is best to see the Qing emperors being destroyed and there will be no more Liao troubles."

In a good mood, the two of them then read the cultural content on the next page and found another vernacular article.

In this regard, the two of them were no longer able to complain - in fact, after Zhu Mai succeeded to the throne, they strictly required that the documents and memorials submitted by various departments should not be nonsense, and should be concise and straightforward, and to encourage the writing of memorials in vernacular.

Therefore, these two old ministers are now a little immune to the vernacular article.

As for this vernacular article in the cultural page, Jiang and Gao only took a look at it and showed a look of surprise.

The title of the article is "What is the Ming Dynasty?"

The signature is "Emperor of Light".

As senior officials of the Ming Dynasty, the two knew who the name "Emperor of Light" was and were in awe of immortals. They immediately changed their mindset and read this article carefully.
