Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1502 Before Enthronement II

In fact, before deciding to develop gunpowder and red-clothed cannons, Mu Jing also had a certain amount of compassion, and considered whether to research it.

But in the end he made up his mind to study and go beyond the times.

The appearance of gunpowder is nothing.

It appeared in the early years, but it is only necessary to slowly discover its use and slowly discover its true power. Relatively speaking, this is just an introduction.

But the appearance of the red-clothed cannon is tantamount to luring gunpowder to a road of no return, and it has also opened a door for countless people, especially in the atmosphere of the Hongdu Science and Technology Research Institute established by Mujing, which makes the brains of those scientists even stronger. With agility, they will think more.

Sometimes people's brains are very clever, but sometimes they are very dull. The gunpowder invented by the descendants of the Yellow Emperor finally allowed the guns invented by the Westerners to knock on their own doors.

Mujing didn't want this kind of situation to happen, so he decided to go beyond the times.

But one thing, when guns appear, it means that the nuclear threat is not far away. When thermal weapons develop better and better, the emergence of nuclear bombs is inevitable.

Mujing doesn't know whether he is helping this era and promoting development, or harming the earth by doing what he does, but there is one thing, he needs thermal weapons now.

If he fights slowly, he can also fight. After 20 or 30 years, he still has the confidence to unify the world, but no one dares to say how many people will be left in the Central Plains by then.

Historically, in the Three Kingdoms era, hundreds of years of strife led to the death of several generations of young and strong people in the Central Plains, and then the northern nomads took the opportunity to enter, forming that dark era, an era in which people were regarded as two-legged sheep , So much darkness, I dare not even think about it.

Mujing absolutely does not allow this era to appear, so from now on, he not only wants to end the chaos of war, but also end the chaos with the least casualties.

Only by allowing guns to appear in this era can he conquer them with his unique advantages.

………………

After breakfast, the four daughters-in-law each had their own affairs. Cai Yan put on men's clothing, looked heroic, and took a guard, went to Mingfeng Bank to sit in town. After going to the medical school, Huang Yueying disguised herself and took a carriage to Hongdu Institute of Science and Technology. Diao Chan, she started her day's work and tidied up the house neatly...

In fact, Mu Jing also likes this kind of atmosphere, just let them live in the deep palace, with big eyes and small eyes, sooner or later it will lead to palace fighting drama.

People only have things to do when they have nothing to do, and they always do things earlier. When there is something to do, who would like to fight for life and death.

Therefore, Mujing thinks that such a family is relatively healthy. Although he is going to become the emperor, he will never allow himself to become that kind of ruthless emperor's family. He can't bear the intrigue even when eating.

Everyone needs a safe haven.

Mujing is no exception, and this harem, this home, is his safe haven.

………………

Humming a ditty, Mu Jing rode into the front hall on horseback.

Coming out of the harem, if you don't ride a horse, you have to walk for less than half an hour. It doesn't seem to be far, but the Ming Palace is still quite big.

The landmark building of the front hall is naturally the nine-story Ming Palace, which belongs to the Qingtian Building in this era.

In the Palace of the Palace, three banners are flying, which are particularly dazzling. One is a battle flag with bright characters, and the other is a black dragon flag. In this era, the dragon flag represents the sky, and there is another black mandala battle flag that represents Mujing.

These three flags, fluttering against the wind, are the most eye-catching places in the entire Ming Palace, and the marks that everyone in Yudu City can see.

Mujing returned to Yudu yesterday, and the Zhaoming Pavilion meeting was held. At the meeting, the matter of proclaiming the emperor was decided, and the entire Ming palace began to function. Every office was very busy. The figures coming and going seemed anxious.

This kind of atmosphere covered almost all the bureaucrats, large and small, in the entire Ming palace, and infected every official. No one dared to relax and desert at this time.

Mujing went up to the ninth floor, his own place.

"Your Majesty!"

Huo Yu bowed and saluted.

"Did you pile up a lot of notebooks recently?" Mu Jing sat down, took a sip of the tea Huo Yu made, and sat in this office, being dressed up, but not as carefully as Huo Yu.

"It's all here, but Zhaoming Pavilion has already been dealt with, and it only needs to be reviewed by the king!" Huo Yu said.

When Mujing went to war, Zhaoming Pavilion was the highest institution that decided the policy direction of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the final place to deal with the memorials of the previous memorials.

The four major cabinet ministers, Hu Zhao, Liu Jin, Cai Yong, and Qin Song, are all experts in internal affairs. When the four of them joined forces, the Ming Dynasty was really governed properly.

After Mu Jing went to war for so long, the Ming Kingdom was able to stay peaceful without any turmoil. On the one hand, it was because of the existence of the Zhaoming Pavilion, and on the other hand, it was because of the system of the Ming Kingdom.

The New Deal was originally a brand new system. Compared with the previous system, it was not a little bit worse, but a lot.

First of all, all the power will not be concentrated on the power of the monarch, and the power of the prime minister is also very large. It is very important to be able to run the entire Ming Dynasty when Mu Jing is not around.

If all the facts have to ask for Mujing, who is fighting on the front line, how long it will take, the place has already come.

But if this kind of power is just one or two people, it will be chaotic, because power will corrupt many people, and the feeling of holding power will make some people lost.

Therefore, the Zhaoming Pavilion established by Mujing, the existence of the Zhaoming Pavilion, is the biggest advantage of the Ming system.

"so much?"

Mujing heaved a sigh of relief, Zhaoming Pavilion still did not disappoint him, but seeing the mountain of transcripts that required his review, he felt a little sad again.

"These are rare. Basically, they are submitted at the state level, and the memorials at the county level have basically stopped at the ministries. Even if they are re-examined, they will only stop at Zhaoming Pavilion!"

Huo Yu said.

Mujing picked up a few copies, looked at them, and then asked Huo Yu, "Zhongheng, what has changed during the time when you are alone in Yudu?"

Huo Yu naturally knew that he was Mujing's most trusted person, and he would not go out with the army when he stayed in Chongqing. It was not just a physical problem, but more of a supervisor.

"It's very quiet, everyone performs their duties!"

Huo Yu thought for a while, and said: "However, the means of attacking the New Deal are a bit harsher. Judging from the memos presented by the states, our New Deal has stagnated very much in the recent period, and those aristocratic families have also fought back fiercely. For the sake of stability, Zhaoming Pavilion ignored most of the battles!"

"normal!"

Mu Jing said with a sneer: "The battle is the first, the rear must be stable, and the morale of the frontline army must not be disturbed by this. This is what they have considered correctly, but when doing things, they are still a little bit indecisive. Maybe they themselves are not satisfied with the New Deal There are some opinions!"

"Will you?" Huo Yu frowned.

"Don't think that Zhaoming Pavilion is just with me. How many people's interests have been touched by the new policy, you can't say for certain. Whether there are their cakes in it, you can't even tell!"

Mu Jing said indifferently.

It's not that he doubts anything, it's just that people's hearts are in the belly, everyone has their own interests in governing, and they may be conquered.

"I heard that they are going to send Governor Xu north to Guanzhong!"

"Gu understands this matter!" They didn't dare to hide such a big matter from Mu Jing, they had already given Mu Jing a copy of the memorial on the way, after Mu Jing read it, he had nothing to say.

Xu Shu's actions were too big, and Jing Xiang was making a fuss. It was basically impossible to do it all at once, so he could only ease it up.

At this time, it is normal to dispatch Xu Shu to the north.

Moreover, the north, Guanzhong, Luoyang, and Henan are full of wars and chaos, and need someone to sit in the town. Xu Shu's character and ability are trustworthy, and going north is also the right thing to do.

"What do they think about Zhaoming Pavilion?" Mu Jing asked.

"What your majesty is asking is, do they want to increase the number of seats in Zhaoming Pavilion?" Huo Yu frowned. He didn't hear much about this when he was a transcript envoy in Zhaoming Pavilion.

"It will definitely increase!"

Mu Jing said: "It's just to see who they prefer!"

He has some candidates in his heart, but his prestige is not enough. It is not easy to join the cabinet. Once he joins the cabinet, he will soar into the sky and become the decision-making leader of the Ming Dynasty, which is the supreme position.

"But Bao Shangshu seems to be more attractive to them!" Huo Yu said in a low voice.

"Bao Su?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

He had already considered it before, Qin Song and Bao Su were old ministers left by his father to the pastoral party. They both came out of the imperial court and joined the pastoral party. Even though Mu Shan died in battle, they were still loyal ministers to Mu Jing.

Qin Song entered the cabinet, and Bao Su lost a front line.

But this is also a capable man.

"How is he handling the national debt?" Mu Jing asked.

"Since we won the Battle of Jiangdong, the people have full confidence in our Ming Dynasty. The national bonds are in the hands of Bao Shangshu, and all of them have been sold!"

Huo Yu reported, "In addition, the promotion of proclaiming the emperor this time seems to have given Zhaoming Pavilion to Bao Shangshu!"

"He has the trust of Zhaoming Pavilion!"

Shepherd nodded.

Initially speaking, the Zhaoming Pavilion has already conducted an assessment on this person, and whether Bao Su can join the cabinet is not a big problem.

But in Mujing's heart, he was not the only one.

After ascending the throne and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the power of Zhaoming Pavilion will be further enhanced. Mujing will concentrate power on Zhaoming Pavilion, and he is also a member of Zhaoming Pavilion, so he is not afraid of being ostracized.

However, if there are too few people in Zhaoming Pavilion, it will not be conducive to his performance, and he will be easily seized power. No matter which minister seizes power, it is not a good thing for him.

As a king, what he wants is not power, but balance, which is the foundation of the king's art.

"What's the current situation in Yongzhou?" Mujing suddenly rang out a person, who was also a man of great talent in history, and it would be a pity to put it in a local place.

"Yongzhou?"

Huo Yu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Mujing asked such a question, but he had a good memory, and quickly flipped through a few memorials, all of which were passed down from Yongzhou: "Yongzhou is stable, and the New Deal is in Yongzhou. It also moves faster!"

"is it?"

Mu Jing's eyes suddenly brightened.

"Issue a secret order to let the governor of Yongzhou come back for a review!" Mu Jing pondered for a while, and finally made a decision: "Secret summons, no news is allowed!"

"promise!"

Huo Yu nodded.

"Gu just came back, first familiarize yourself with the government affairs during this period, so don't arrange any meetings, you go to pass on the Zhaoming Pavilion, the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, Gu needs to check the memorials again in the past two days, there is nothing special There is no need to disturb Gu!" Mu Jing said.

"Yes!"

Huo Yu bowed and saluted, then turned and left, went down the stairs, and delivered the order.

..............................

For two consecutive days, Mu Jing has been flipping through the playbooks sent from the local area. These playbooks have been reviewed, and what should be executed has also been executed. Most of these are copied books, and Mujing needs to know The current situation of local operation.

The New Deal of the Ming Dynasty, from the local system to agricultural taxation, has undergone great changes in all aspects, and even the national system has changed.

Naturally, it will cause discomfort to many people.

However, Mu Jing pushed forward forcefully, and Xu Shu, Zhuge Xuanwei, and other vanguards charged into the battle, causing a big storm in the local area.

As far as the local system is concerned, the county system remains unchanged, but the county is changed to a state. The governor of a state is currently the largest political officer in the locality. It is difficult to get involved, and there are still many problems.

Good things also need good soil to take root and germinate, so the New Deal can be quickly adapted to some places, and for some places, it has a strong repulsive force.

Even if we put aside the New Deal, there are still big problems in the local area. After the troubled times, the local area is actually very chaotic. It is not so easy to stabilize.

Especially the Northwest, Xiliang, and Xiqiang, these places, although the Ming Dynasty has re-divided the area, but the people below may not recognize it.

Since Ma Chao and Pang De left in Xiliang, there have been a lot of disturbances. The governor has changed a few times. If these people can't be restrained, there will always be troubles.

As for Xiqiang, Min Wu was influential and cooperated, but they were too cooperative, and some Ming officials died of illness for no apparent reason, which in itself was not right.

Min Wu has never let go of the absolute control of the Xiqiang tribe. This is not very good for the Ming Dynasty. Sooner or later this problem will be resolved, and Min Wu will inevitably be involved.

Min Wu is considered loyal to the Ming Dynasty, at least on the surface, he will never violate the secret order of the Ming Dynasty court, but this person's mind, even Mu Jing, dare not trust it.

The west is like this, and the south is not very stable.

Not to mention Nanzhong, Meng Huo, the barbarian king, has really surrendered. Many barbarian tribes have moved out of the deep mountains. This has greatly improved the governance of the Ming Dynasty, but within ten or twenty years, if you want to It is impossible to put an end to chaos. There are still a lot of small and unconvinced barbarians. Things come out every now and then, but they will not rise to the overall situation. They are only limited to local turmoil. This is indispensable. of.

The other is Jiaozhou.

In the land of Jiaozhou, after Shi Xie surrendered, the influence of the Shi family became less and less. However, there are also some tribes in the mountains in South Vietnam, which still have some influence on the local order.

Mujing also couldn't spare them to deal with them, and he also didn't let the Shi family take action. He originally wanted to reduce the influence of the Shi family. If you let the Shi family take action, wouldn't it mean increasing their influence in Jiaozhou?

At present, the entire Ming country is still not very stable.
