Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 798
In May of the 21st year of Chongzhen, the prince Zhu Cihong finally returned to the capital after his four-year study abroad. The children of other important ministers and wealthy families also returned to the capital one after another. Most of them will participate in the 12th year of Chongzhen. The examination will be held, and the official position will be determined according to the results and rankings.

Scholars have now acquiesced and accepted the policy that candidates who study for four years in a polytechnic institute can be directly awarded officials even if they fail the general examination. I don't think I will be able to become an old minister in the future. As long as I can enter the system, my future will depend on how it works. Isn't he a magistrate of a prefecture and a prefect of a state?
After negotiating with Zhou Hou, Zhu Youjian issued an edict to announce to the world: the sixth day of December in the 21st year of Chongzhen will be the crown prince's wedding day, and the world will be pardoned at that time, except for the heinous crimes, all others will be exonerated.

Wang Fang was granted the title of commander of Jinyiwei Capital, his wife Hu Shi was the second-rank wife, and Wang Fang's son Wang Li was given the title of Jinyiwei Baihu.

The crown princess is Zhilan, the queen of Wang Fang, the military supervisor craftsman, that is, the Erya that Zhu Youjian met when he just crossed over in the eighth year of Chongzhen.Although Zhu Cihong and Erya are not childhood sweethearts, they can also be called childhood sweethearts. The 13 years passed in a flash. During this period, the two got along harmoniously, and the relationship between them became increasingly deep. Wang Zhilan also entered the Women's schools for reading and literacy.

It can be said that Zhu Youjian, who grew up watching Erya grow up, likes her gentle and virtuous character very much, and is sincerely happy that Zhu Cihong can marry such a good wife.

The two children have grown up unknowingly, and finally achieved a positive result. During this period, they did not experience any major storms and twists and turns. This should be the true state of most marriages in the world.

The purpose of announcing it to the world is to let the Quartet come to congratulate, and it is also an act of peace of mind.

Let everyone in the world know that the current emperor is in the prime of his life, and the crown prince has grown up and is trusted by his father. At least for a few decades, the political situation in Ming Dynasty has been extremely stable.

Stability trumps everything.

On the second day after the edict was issued, Wang Zhilan's house became lively.Both the palace and the Ministry of Rites sent relevant people to the Wang family to teach the Wang family all kinds of etiquette and pay attention to certain taboos. Zhu Youjian specially gave a mansion in Dongcheng. The households gathered in the area moved to a new house and settled down.

Honglu Temple has dispatched several envoys to the vassal states to announce the prince's wedding, and asked all the vassal states to arrange for the main members of the royal families to go to the capital to congratulate them in person before the big day.

To be a vassal state is to have the appearance of a vassal state. When there is a happy event in my own family, these "filial sons and virtuous grandchildren" must show the greatest sincerity to the world. It doesn't matter if the money is not the money. The key is to arrange for important people to congratulate in person.

Since the countries were clearly ordered to express their views, except for the clear refusal of the Zheng family in the north of Jiaozhi, Wa Kingdom has not yet made a final decision.

According to the news brought back by people sent by Shi Ji, there was a fierce dispute among the top leaders of the Wa Kingdom about respecting Daming as the suzerain.

Tokugawa Iemitsu of the Edo shogunate is vigorously promoting the policy of closing the country, so he does not want to respect Daming as the suzerain country, and some senior officials in the shogunate who are pro-Ming want to take the opportunity to promote friendship with Daming after hearing the news Some daimyos who tried to obtain greater benefits from the trade between the two countries hoped that the Tokugawa shogunate could follow the imperial edict of the Ming emperor and find ways to get more benefits from the powerful Ming. There was a protracted debate on this issue, and the envoys sent by Honglu Temple stayed in Wa and never returned.

Zhu Youjian didn't take this matter too seriously.

Now the main fleet of the Ming Dynasty Navy is still in Europe and has not returned. It is hard to say what kind of results will be achieved in the end; and the relevant deployment against the Jiaozhi Zheng family is also being implemented. Ten thousand Guangxi wolf soldiers have been recruited and trained for half a year. However, after one year of training for the Danglu camp, Sun Chuanting's "cannibalization" strategy will be launched immediately, and the emigration of the Ming Dynasty to Xinjiang will also consume a lot of money and food. Under this situation, it is not easy to provoke another In the face of a dispute, it is still necessary to assess the situation and make long-term plans.

This matter can be handed over to the cabinet. As long as you come up with a general direction, I believe that those important ministers in the cabinet who are good at strategic planning will definitely come up with a good solution.

The general direction is to abolish the title of emperor and change it to the head of the country; and then send troops to the mainland to "protect" its land from being violated, disband its own army, and not allow investment in military equipment in the future.

The title of emperor sounds very uncomfortable. Ming Dynasty dominates Asia, and Zhu Youjian will not call himself emperor. You are a small country living in a small corner, why will you come out as emperor?Don't you think about the feelings of your powerful neighbor?

With the strength of the Ming Dynasty's army, it is not a problem to conquer the Japanese kingdom, but Zhu Youjian didn't want to sacrifice the lives of these Han family sons in vain.

If you can't get huge benefits from the war, then there is no need to start it.

Wa has neither resources nor talents. For Daming, which is still in the development stage, it is of little significance to defeat it. It is best to find a way to provoke its civil war. When it is about the same time, send soldiers to clean up the mess.

Different from the Wa country across the sea, Jiaozhi and Daming are land borders, which are related to the situation in the entire South Asian region. Therefore, Jiaozhi is a country that must be conquered. If the country no longer has strong feudal vassals, the government orders of the Ming court can flow unimpeded in this area.

It has been half a year since Li Huaipu took over as the governor of Guangxi. Judging from his reports and other channels, Zhu Youjian did not misread the wrong person.

At the beginning of taking office, after Li Huaipu had a general understanding of the basic situation in the jurisdiction, he immediately issued an order to send officials to the countryside to mobilize many people of various ethnic groups whose ancestors lived in the mountains to move to the opposite land. Inhabit flat areas.

In order to achieve the goal as soon as possible, Li Huaipu, on the basis of the decree to reduce or exempt money and food for three years, first took out the accumulated 10,000+ taels of silver from the governor's office, and then mortgaged the taxes of Guangxi for the next ten years. The counters in Liuzhou and other places borrowed 50 taels of silver, which was planned to be used for matters related to the relocation of mountain people.

According to Li Huaipu's report, the number of these mountain people who are expected to be relocated is about 30. After the Danglu Camp launches an offensive and conquers a certain scale of land, these 30 people will be resettled in the newly opened territory, and the Jiaozhi people Mixed together, in order to achieve the goal of Sinicizing the occupied land as soon as possible.
