If the emperor's plan to escape was normal, the traitor in Jinshen Palace would have no choice but to hold his nose and admit it. Who is the fool? But today, we must not let him be fooled so easily.
, the person who wants to cheat is General Zhenguo and his fat father. Who else can take the blame except the powerful Emperor Chongzhen? If you miss this opportunity and let this foolish emperor come up with some harmful tricks, then the unlucky one will have to do it.
It's them
But it takes skill to prevent the emperor from escaping. Even if you just go up and pull the emperor's clothes, you won't be thrown outside the Meridian Gate and beheaded, but you will be dragged out and spanked by the guards responsible for the security of the palace. Although the imperial court these days
The stick won't kill you, but it will hurt if you hit it on the body. The "traitor" with old arms and legs like Gu Xichou really can't bear the pain.
"I have my own book to report!" It is definitely not possible to act recklessly, but what scholars are best at is deceiving the emperor. Although Xiong Wencan temporarily needs to stay at the Imperial College to give guidance to those students who are interested in joining the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, there is a strong man above the hall.
After returning from Liaodong, he was taught by Zhu Youcong and Nan Juyi.
"Shi Aiqing, what's the matter with you?" Chongzhen, who was about to get up and leave, reluctantly sat on the dragon throne again. He did not dare to take it lightly for these newly returned treacherous sycophants who had rich experience in governing. "First of all, let me state
Ah, then I have to consider the position of Minister of the General Accounting Office in detail, and I can’t make a decision now! If you want to discuss this matter, just propose a suitable candidate, otherwise I will kneel down now!"
"How can I do that? I am only temporarily assigned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I dare not speak nonsense about important ministers of such countries." The iron-clad Shi Kefa lacked some political sensitivity, but he was not stupid enough to become a rebel.
I still want to provoke that damn fat man. What's more, he is only temporarily acting as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, which is not justifiable. If he exceeds his authority and gets involved again, who knows how he will be framed.[
Therefore, even if the court's "treacherous" traitors had reached an agreement in private, whoever could fool the emperor into throwing out the old fat man, everyone would find a way to go to the general of Zhenguo. But Shi Kefa, who was upright and hated evil, also
The buyer will not seek glory just for this small profit.
It's just that since Shi Kefa was able to keep the Tatar prisoners and Bangzi refugees in Liaodong, he also cooperated with Zhang Polu's army to reach across the fishing sea in order to occupy favorable terrain and carve it up with Sun Chengzong's Western Front Corps.
If he loses the Tatar part, he should not be short of moves in his belly.
As for the two kings of the country, Li Zhuo, who was able to deceive Hanyang into a trap, and Li Zhen, who was domineering in Daqiu City, while fighting each other, they also did not forget to send Li Zhuo and Hong Yihan to act as plenipotentiary envoys respectively.
Those who stationed themselves in Shenyang in order to sign a series of land lease agreements at any time in exchange for the Ming Dynasty court remaining neutral and not supporting any party would definitely not be too kind.
"Oh." Although Chongzhen was already working hard to develop in the direction of Shai Hunjun, after all, time was short and his thoughts were not careful enough. He actually believed the sincerity written on Shi Kefa's face so easily. He let down his guard and let out a sigh of relief.
Said: "If that's the case, then you can tell me what's going on."
"I recently received a report from Mr. Zhou Fengxiang. Our Western allies have arrived in Macau a few months ago and have completed their assembly. They are about to come to congratulate me on the Ming Dynasty's feat of quelling the internal chaos on the Japanese island and maintaining maritime trade security...
..." Shi Kefa's words disappointed all the ministers in the palace. Now it's time to think about how to make the emperor take the blame, and how to change the subject to bring those Westerners in.
"Just see if you can handle this matter." Chongzhen didn't bother to believe the lies that were being congratulated but not congratulated, but he knew that with the arrival of these Western allies, his pocket would be a little brighter, and the teachers of the Imperial College
The power will be more abundant. This time when the Ming Dynasty carried out industrial reforms, it specially built several firecracker factories. Just waiting for these allies to come and be slaughtered, oh no, it should be a fair trade.
"By the way, how many talents have they brought here this time?" It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. Anyway, if you can't cheat it, just grab it. I heard that these Western allies have made a fortune in Tianzhu. What Chongzhen is most concerned about now
The problem is talent, especially mathematics talent as the most basic subject. The West is too far away from the Ming Dynasty. Before it can build an armored navy that can dominate the ocean, it can only wait and wait for others to send it over.
"There seems to be no improvement this time. I just heard that Sir Roy brought in another country called France..." Shi Kefa was also very dissatisfied with the stingy approach of the Western allies. He opened the memorial and read: "
However, there are quite a lot of talents in this country. Among them are Sileny Descartes, Pierre de Fermat and Gerard Desargues who passed the preliminary examination. In addition, Schwerar kidnapped Cava from Italy.
Lieli is no ordinary person..."
This is also due to Shi Kefa's lack of insight. He didn't even realize that the people he mentioned now were all academic leaders in the West. Especially Descartes, who was the most famous philosopher, mathematician, and physicist.
He is worth at least one Ming Dynasty citizen. I don’t know how Sir Roy persuaded King Louis XIII of the Bourbon Dynasty to hand over these top talents. He even brought his own food expenses to the Ming Dynasty.
.
There is a theory that in the process of time travel, if you kill a celebrity, another celebrity will replace it. So Descartes was deceived into nothing in the Ming Dynasty, and someone in the West may soon come up to replace him.
He. If the newly emerged talents will not repeat the same mistakes and be betrayed, or be directly kidnapped by the Ming Dynasty's overseas legions when they get the opportunity.
Of course, Shi Kefa did not know these theories, and this was not his purpose in mentioning these celebrities. Shi Kefa, who knew how to figure out the holy will, did this in order to attract Chongzhen's attention.
"It's a little less, but it's still better. I'll just make do with it this time. When they come, I have to tell them that if they want to do big things, they must first learn to spend money generously. If they want to learn from our Ming Dynasty's advanced technology, they have to learn it no matter what."
Get a few thousand people here!" After he finished complaining, Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen beside him: "Chengen, you and the foreign magicians in the palace will take over these people. Tell Chen Xinjia, who is in charge of Zhao Prison.
, I’ll be polite to all the guys who refuse to enter the Imperial Academy to train talents for our Ming Dynasty, and I’ll take out the little knowledge they have in their stomachs!”
"Servant to receive the order!" This matter is not difficult for Wang Chengen. Among the people who were sent to the Ming Dynasty with Galileo at the beginning of the year, there were still a few arrogant guys. In the end, even the kind of thing invented by General Zhenguo continued for seven days and seven nights without interruption.
Before the fatigue interrogation was over, those unlucky ones started to volunteer to go to the Imperial Academy to show off their knowledge with tears in their eyes. Even if the bones of this group are stronger than them, there are still hundreds of punishments in the prison.
Have you tried it?
"In addition, this time they brought more than 1,200 yellow-mouthed children, saying that they were wanted by the general of Zhenguo!" Shi Kefa changed the notebook and said with a sad face: "But the price is a bit high. I want to exchange it for my Daming II.
Two Immortals Powder..."
Shenxian Powder is a strategic material strictly controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Its importance even exceeds all the high-tech weapons used by Zhu Youcong's army, and any unofficial trade is prohibited. The imperial court also issued a special order for this purpose. If the people of the Ming Dynasty insist on
If you pay for this thing, your whole family will be killed, so this matter is really not something that Shi Kefa can decide.
"No problem! Tell them that I will send someone to send them to Java Island." Chongzhen knew the purpose of these filial piety. In the future, if he wanted to trick Western allies into resisting, this would not be enough, so he would not pay this price.
Raising doubts. "Kong Aiqing, these children will be left to you. Ten years! I want you to train them in ten years to be even more stubborn than the rotten Confucians we have eliminated!"
"I accept the decree!" Without Chongzhen's continued explanation, Kong Yanzhi had already guessed that these children were the vanguard of cultural aggression prepared by the Ming Dynasty for those Western allies. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism must be taught, but it was only the Ming Dynasty that made them loyal.
It's not that son-in-law. The tampered words of the saints must also be learned, otherwise how could they use anything to deceive the Western monarchs and people. As for the science and technology of the Ming Dynasty, they definitely have no chance to come into contact with it.
"In addition!" Dare to bargain with Ming Dynasty. Although Shenxian Powder is not worth much, Chongzhen still expressed his indignation at the Western allies' evil behavior of raising prices. "Notify Prince Dechang and tell the price of Zhuge Liannu and mines
Double it for me!"
The Zhuge Liannu used by the Ming Dynasty's overseas legions is no longer high-tech compared to this era. It is not very difficult to imitate with the current Western technology, but Zhu Youcong wants this result. Since it is impossible to do
If you want to catch all the outstanding talents in the West, then try to lead them astray and make them take a few more detours. First, use the launch speed and range of the Zhuge Liannu to delay the allies' research on individual firearms.[
Even though mines filled with black powder have little technical content, they are powerful and versatile and are a must-have weapon for killing people and stealing goods. They can not only be used for defense, but can also play unexpected roles in siege. Don't worry about it.
What a strong city. If it is surrounded by this thing several times, even if the city wall cannot be blown down, the enemies inside can be trapped to death. With this treasure, the Western allies should not be so urgent in the need to tinker with siege weapons.
Come on, the iron lumps knocked out by the thirty-six-pound cannon are really not very powerful, and the materials used to make one cannon can be used to make hundreds of landmines.
As for whether the Western allies would create some trouble for the Ming Dynasty's expansion after mastering these two new weapons, Chongzhen didn't bother to consider this issue. Even though he didn't know much about military affairs, he still knew how to use Zhuge Liannu and Gatling.
This method of fighting... seems a bit incomprehensible.
A large number of landmines were laid to prevent the attack of the Ming army. "Mao" Wenlong was already leading the Ministry of War to study the accident under Tsurumaru Castle on the island. It is not surprising to use landmines to blow up the army, but who else can
Durable landmines to blow up planes are really as stupid as the Ming Dynasty Air Force that uses hot air airships, and they are as stupid as the Japanese pirates in those TV series in another time and space. They can be hit by throwing a grenade.
The development of flowers based on the principle of landmines sounds like a threat, but the most powerful thing about the Ming Dynasty's army is not the firearms that can be seen. It is the new gunpowder hidden in them. Although the equipment everyone on land is called infantry
Cannon, but even if the range of the weapon is not considered, the power of black powder can be compared with that of yellow explosive. Is it on the same level?
Not to mention at sea. Even if the black powder gun can penetrate the weakest point of a four-inch thick steel plate, the 24-pound bronze cannon can fight against the 12-inch caliber cannon of the Ming Navy.
Boom, this is not counting the warships that have already started to be built, which have an unknown number of slow-rotating rockets that have been significantly improved.
The Ming Empire now only cheats people but does not beat them. That is because it is restricted by the population. Under the guidance of the strategic policy of Guang Ji Liang and slowly becoming king, Chongzhen and Zhu Youcong made up their mind to do it if they don't.
It must be astonishing. What the Ming Empire wants to do is not to dominate the world, but to dominate the world in the true sense. Any enemy will not just beat them down. It must make them completely prostrate themselves, kneel down and beg for forgiveness, so as to become
The most obedient people of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the only thing waiting for them would be the destruction of their country and their species.
"In addition..." Shi Kefa did this to make Chongzhen remember that he was still a shameful fool. Even if he couldn't do anything to the little fat man, he still had to play some pranks to get revenge. "There is one more thing. I have to ask your Majesty.
Make a decision."
"Oh, what else is there?" Chongzhen really had no experience in diplomatic work. He only knew that the money would be made this time, and those Western allies had arrived in Macau and had already set foot on the Ming Dynasty. If they dared not to make friends with anyone,
Don't even think about leaving. I'm too embarrassed to break up with them right now. I can also let the Ministry of Punishment charge them with a crime and throw them directly into prison.
"Princess from the West!" Seeing Chongzhen's confused look, Shi Kefa kindly reminded: "This is the foreign concubine that General Zhenguo wants for you, the Emperor!"
"I really got it." It's not that Chongzhen didn't like women, but when he regained Liaodong, Zhu Youcong got him a dozen princesses and he still hadn't finished doting on them. Bangzi Kingdom sent another one
Princess Xiaoming, even if we don’t count the nine-year-old girl who was sent back from the Japanese island and has been the king for a few days, there are dozens of foreign concubines in the palace of the Ming Dynasty who only have the title of princess.
"How much did they send this time?"
"This...please take a look at Rong Chen!" After changing the memorial, Shi Kefa was also very emotional. The love of a Western princess is really worthless. She married all the way and didn't even bring a few maids with her. "Sir Roy
On behalf of their king, Charles II, sent Princess Kelly and three attendants. On behalf of the Republic of the Netherlands, Governor Cohen sent Princess Salse, and Schweira sent Princess Etalia, as well as Louis X of France.
The three kings also sent you Princess Amandine, and others such as the Kingdom of Sicily, the Principality of Provence, and the Principality of Ancona..."
"Okay! Okay! Stop reading it!" Chongzhen felt a headache when hearing about this country and that country. According to the maps drawn by the Western allies, there really aren't many large areas there, so why are there so many?
The country "told me directly how much they sent."
"When we return to the emperor, there are a total of forty-five princesses and nearly a hundred followers. In addition to the generals who stayed in Macau in the past few years to learn the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty and the ordinary Xiyi women purchased at a high price this time, there are a total of five
One hundred and eighty-seven people!" Compared to those top talents, the Western allies were much more generous in giving away the princess.
Even if five hundred and eighty-seven people were to be grooms day and night, it would still take a year and half a year. This is really treating Chongzhen as a seeder. But there seems to be something wrong with this title. According to the little fat man
The original explanation was that it was to maintain the pure bloodline of the Ming Dynasty royal family. The women of Shoe Kingdom, especially Bangzi and Wodao, could only be played with but not kept for breeding, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty even praised this.
When Chongzhen thought that there were so many Western women to deal with, he couldn't suppress the anger in his chest. He shouted hysterically: "No! No! Tell them to go back where they came from! Tell Shivella and others that I don't want a princess."
!I want talents! Talents! Do you understand?”
"No, Your Majesty!" Yang He finally understood what Shi Kefa was going to do, and quickly stood up and said: "These are all princesses sent by our Western allies. Not to mention their noble status, the power behind them cannot be underestimated.
Look. Now our Ming Dynasty is at a critical moment of reform. If we can't stabilize these evil wolves, I'm afraid..."
Kong Yanzhi also understood what was going on, and spared no effort to add fuel to the flames. "The matter of making peace with each other has existed since ancient times. If I don't make peace with my Ming Dynasty, it just means that I can't marry the princess to a foreign tribe, but it doesn't mean that you, the emperor, can't."
Marrying these Xiyi princesses for the sake of the country..."
"I respectfully invite you, Your Majesty, to give me a great Ming Dynasty..." Although the opinions are different, the important officials in the Manchu Dynasty now have the same idea. The emperor must marry these princesses from the West!
"I really have to accept them all." Chongzhen still wanted to make a desperate struggle. He looked pitifully at the excited ministers, hoping that one or two guys would take the initiative to stand up and share his worries.
"For the peace of the world..."
"For national affairs..."
"To show respect..."[
"The ceremony must fully reflect the style of my country of etiquette..."
"..."
What disappointed Chongzhen was that the traitors in the court were determined to make him a shameless and shameless king of the new era. Not only did they have to be busy with national affairs, but they also had to be harassed by beauties in the harem.
Just be the boss. Don't let him talk too much and always think of ways to deal with his own people.
"Okay! I'll marry you! Isn't it okay if I want both of them?" Chongzhen now feels a little bit more like how his ancestors were forced by the courtiers. If there weren't too many things for him to deal with, he would also learn from himself.
Grandpa hid in the palace and never came out.
But Chongzhen's compromise does not mean that he will not seek revenge on the instigator. That damn fat man actually abducted so many women at one time and brought them to the palace to cause mischief. It will definitely not let him go anywhere easily. "Draft the imperial edict! Recruit King Zhu Changxun to the capital.
, responsible for the preparation of the General Audit Office of the Ming Dynasty! Urgently recruit the generals of the Ming Dynasty to come back and report on their duties!"
"I'm waiting for your order!" The voice was particularly loud and neat this time. Now the hot potato was finally thrown out. It was time for the fat guy wandering around the island to come back and look for his next robbery target. (To be continued.
