The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 296 Your Majesty, It's Time for a Concubine

Many years ago, Van Diemen ran across the fields of his homeland.

The dusk at that time was beautiful, and the breeze blowing over brought him an extremely happy childhood.

Then came to Batavia, where his long-lost joy reappeared.

It lasted for a long time until Zheng Zhilong's arrival.

The sea breeze blew past the Governor's Mansion, carrying a hint of salty sea water and a mixture of blood and gunpowder smoke.

Zhou Chao stood outside the city, quietly waiting for the news.

The soldiers behind him had already rushed in to search for Hong Yi.

The buildings in the city were basically turned into rubble, and even the buildings standing there were turned into dilapidated buildings.

The tallest church in the city was now in ruins.

There was a person lying in the mound outside, it was Van Diemen from before.

Wiping the dust off his face, he coughed strongly, stood up from the ground with difficulty, and then looked around.

Fortunately, only suffered some skin trauma, the whole person is still good.

Everywhere you look, you are in a state of embarrassment, corpses are everywhere, and the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air makes people breathless.

There are women wearing small western-style skirts lying in the ruins, and there are also women with big and thick beards who have been smashed beyond recognition.

The merchants and noble ladies in the city were all dead bodies at this time.

Blood and mud mixed together, exuding an extremely unpleasant stench.

A few Hongyi soldiers came staggeringly from a distance, their arquebus guns in their hands kept shooting backwards.

Unfortunately, there was no result.

While running, I was hit by a 98k bullet and fell to the ground without breathing.

Putmans and a dozen Hongyi soldiers appeared in Van Diemen's field of vision.

When seeing Van Diemen, Putmans' gloomy gaze instantly brightened.

Originally thought that Fan Diemen was dead, but unexpectedly he was still alive.

"Sir, sir!"

Putmans yelled and came to Van Diemen.

"This is?!"

Fan Dimen was still a little dazed, and didn't come back to his senses for a while.

"It's over, it's over, our defenders are all over, and there are only so many of our soldiers left. Those natives are some damn things, damn, damn, they ran away long ago, and even fought with our people There was a fire and it was a damn thing!

The guns used by those people are so powerful that they can kill people from a long distance. They are accurate and reload very fast, just like the hand of God.

When our soldiers fire one shot, they can fire a dozen shots! "

Putmans's fragile nerves could not be stretched, and he howled loudly.

Just like a wronged child seeing his parents, Putmans was sobbing at this moment.

There is the fear of being shocked by the firepower, the panic of the current situation, and the confusion of one's own future.

All kinds of complicated thoughts crowded together, making him extremely flustered at this time.

Van Diemen looked ten years older.

"Then, we are really dead, dead!"

Fan Di's face was expressionless, obviously frightened to the extreme.

"Sir, let's run quickly! If we don't run again, it will be too late!"

Putmans yelled, grabbed Van Diemen's shoulders, and ran away.

Although Batavia is big, where is their shelter?

Even if they could run, they couldn't get anywhere.

After running for a few steps, soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty chased after him.

Several people were killed immediately.

When the soldiers saw that Van Diemen and Putmans were dressed differently than ordinary people, they thought they were big fish.

With the heart of catching alive, they approached Van Diemen.

At the same time, they kept counting the Hongyi soldiers around the two of them with 98k.

"Oh!"

A gunshot came, and a soldier beside Van Diemen was shot through the forehead.

Blood splattered all over his face, and he was so frightened that he shrank and almost fell down.

The gunshots from behind kept ringing, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers beside the two.

In the end, only the two of them remained.

Both of them are high-ranking and powerful people, and they seldom exercise. How can they be the opponents of these soldiers?

It didn't take long to be surrounded by soldiers.

When the soldier's fist hit Van Diemen's face, he realized that there was a country more powerful than them in this world.

Everything is too late.

The two were tied like pigs and brought before Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao looked at the two people in front of him and waved his hands casually: "Just kill them directly, so as to comfort the spirits of the people in heaven!"

At any rate, the two could understand some Chinese, and felt the murderous intent from Zhou Chao's tone.

I was so scared that I peed my pants immediately.

What an adventurous spirit, it's all fart.

Under the powerful force, there is no one who is not afraid of death.

Putmans was the most unbearable, and he was so frightened that he cried loudly.

He kept cursing in his mouth: "You damn bastards, you can't kill me, if you kill me!"

Cursing and cursing turned into begging for mercy: "Forgive me, please forgive us, we have no hatred in the past and no hatred in the present!"

They all spoke Hongyi language, Zhou Chao couldn't understand it, he just found it noisy.

He waved his hand casually and was taken aside.

The soldier put the bayonet on the tip of the gun, aimed at the heart, and poofed.

Putmans opened his mouth wide, covered his chest with his hands, and fell to the ground weakly.

After two thumps, he lost his vitality.

Fan Diemen was so frightened that he feces and pissed, and he stuttered and couldn't speak.

Like a dead fish, he was pulled aside by a soldier and stabbed in the heart with a knife.

Like Putmans, he lost his breath after thumping twice.

Zhou Chao pulled out the command knife at his waist, chopped off the heads of the two of them, and placed them in front of the pile of bones of the Ming people outside the governor's mansion to comfort the spirits of the people in heaven.

Then he looked at the staff officer behind him: "Report victory to Your Majesty, this battle will wipe out the enemy!"

"Order!"

Sun-jae is very happy because he received the message from Zhou Dynasty.

Now that Batavia has been captured by the Zhou Dynasty, it is no longer an empty talk to master Southeast Asia.

In Sun Jie's prediction, Java, Luzon, Temasek, and all coastal countries in the South China Sea will all be captured, and then an occupation circle along the South China Sea will be established.

The governance of these places cannot be done by Western colonial means.

It should be governed as the original land, and the people should be immigrated there to carry out effective rule.

For the local aborigines, more severe measures should be taken.

Assimilate its culture, destroy its civilization, and completely integrate them.

If there are rebels, there is only one dead end.

This place is known as the "Great Chinese Cultural Circle".

Since they are all in the Greater China cultural circle, they are completely assimilated, and there is nothing wrong with them.

Now that those people from the Zhou Dynasty have passed, don't come back for now.

Sun Jie in the imperial study pondered for a while, then looked at Lu Xiangsheng who was standing in front of him: "Go back and send a telegram to the Zhou Dynasty, appointing the Zhou Dynasty as the governor of Batavia to manage Hongyi's former territory in Batavia.

In addition, the name Batavia was abolished and replaced by the new government. "

Lu Xiangsheng frowned. In his opinion, the Zhou Dynasty was undoubtedly an overseas army.

From ancient times to the present, all the dynasties of the Central Plains have tabooed such things the most.

People from overseas are no different from emperors.

If the heart is rebellious, it is difficult to detect.

Once the wings are full, it will be a disaster to plunder the coast.

It is precisely because of this heart that the Central Plains Dynasty is particularly cautious about overseas places.

I always hold the mentality of "I would rather kill by mistake than let it go".

"Your Majesty, Java is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. Although the Zhou Dynasty is loyal, it will be difficult to guarantee its loyalty in the future.

Hanging alone overseas, if you have thoughts that you shouldn't have in your heart, the consequences will be disastrous.

If you join forces with the barbarians in the future, or use Java as your foundation, the consequences will be unpredictable. Please think twice, Your Majesty! "

Lu Xiangsheng advised loudly.

It stands to reason that it is a taboo to say these words on the day of the great victory.

But if you don't say this, I'm really sorry for Jiangshan Sheji.

Lu Xiangsheng is a scholar who has received traditional education, and he takes this kind of thing very seriously.

In fact, in the past, with inconvenient transportation and a slightly remote frontier, it would be a very dangerous thing for the leading generals to fail to guarantee their loyalty, let alone such a thing of being alone overseas.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Tuo of the Qin Dynasty was originally a general of the Qin Dynasty. Later, the Qin Dynasty was overthrown. Not only did he refuse to save him, but he even established a country in Baiyue. There is a precedent for this, so we must not ignore it!"

Lu Xiangsheng's voice became a little louder, and he even knelt on the ground.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng like this, Sun Jie could also understand what he was thinking.

If the worries he mentioned were pushed back decades, Sun Jie might still be worried.

But now, with radio stations and iron ships, these problems have long since ceased to be problems.

After all, Lu Xiangsheng is a traditional scholar, and he is extremely worried about such things, so he thinks this way.

"I know Aiqing's worries. However, now that there are radio stations and iron boats, it only takes half a month at most to travel from Daqin to Java.

Compared with before, it is only the time spent on the journey from Beiping to the south when he was an official.Besides, just let him become the local governor, and the officials under his command are all appointed by the imperial court, so why worry about collusion?

It has no fleet under its command, and the fleet is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Even if it can build wooden ships, how can it compare with the imperial court's giant steel ships?

Don't worry about this! "

Sun Jie said earnestly.

In this kind of matter, it would be a bit nonsense to rely on the loyalty of the courtiers.

The first governor can guarantee loyalty, but what about the second and third?

Therefore, only in this way can it be controlled.

Sun Jie thought about this a long time ago, and now he has a perfect solution.

When attacking Shandong and Southern Zhili, Sun Jie asked his soldiers to capture local officials and disobedient gentry as much as possible.

To keep them is to send them to these places to teach well and shine.

As for the officials who go there, of course they are selected from among the graduates of Daqin University.

To put it bluntly, the selected officials should still be mainly children from poor families.

It is difficult for children from poor families to study and have suffered a lot. Those who can be admitted to university basically have outstanding perseverance and hard-working spirit.

Only such people can stay there for a long time.

People from the coastal area can't be used yet, and it doesn't mean that Sun Jie discriminates against them.

In the future, Java will definitely become a place of prosperous business.

When it is prosperous, it is easy to appear fly camp dog dog.

If it is a southern official, people who can read books in this age have relatively wealthy families, and they will be more or less involved with coastal businessmen, and corruption is prone to occur.

Today's maritime merchants are mainly composed of southerners.

It seems a bit unfair, but there is no way around it.

Officials cannot stay for a long time, and they are rotated every three to five years.

The same is true for the soldiers and horses stationed, which are rotated every three to five years.

As for places farther away, as for the West and the Americas, we can only adopt the old method.

That is the king.

Still, those things are a little far off.

Lu Xiangsheng was speechless by Sun Jie's words, thinking about it, he could only agree.

After Lu Xiangsheng left, Sun Jie brought Sun Chuanting over to discuss the affairs of officials in Java.

There is no big problem, as long as Sun Jie is mainly in charge of the general manager, and Lu Xiangsheng can choose the main candidates.

After finishing today's political affairs, the sun has already set in the western mountains.

I haven't looked for my wife and children for a long time, and I have to get in touch with each other.

Sun Wenyue, this kid, has been very unfamiliar these days, but he should get close to him.

Just when I came to Kunning Palace, I saw my son running wildly in the yard.

Almost two years old, skinny and "bandit", messing up the harem all day long.

Sun Ling sat at the gate of the palace, watching quietly.

Suddenly he saw Sun Jie approaching, and hastily greeted him.

Just about to salute, Sun Jie helped him up.

"It's an old couple's business, why do you still practice these vain rituals?" Sun Jie said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, this is all hypocrisy!" Sun Wenyue ran over and hugged Sun Jie's thigh, his nose bubbling.

"Daddy, you haven't come here for a long time!" He yelled crisply.

Sun Jie hugged him up.

It's a lot heavier, and it weighs heavily on your hands.

"You brat, you've gained a lot of weight!" Sun Jie said.

After the father and son got close, Sun Jie put him back on the ground and let him steal it.

The old husband and wife sat at the gate of the palace, chatting gossip.

Sun Ling suddenly looked at Sun Jie, and asked a question that made Sun Jie somewhat unexpected; "It's time to accept a concubine, and now I'm the only one in the harem, I'm really lonely, and the ministers should gossip about me, saying I'm a jealous woman .”

Sun Jie was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Sun Ling to say such a thing.

When the country was founded, Sun Jie promulgated the law: "Implement monogamy, prohibit concubines, and prohibit concubines in any form."

As an emperor, Sun Jie always believed that he should take the lead.

"I have promulgated the law before, prohibiting concubinage, as the emperor, I should take the lead!" Sun Jie said.

"That being said, my husband doesn't even think about it. In the future, the territory of the empire will inevitably cover the whole world. It's okay to say that it's near, but what about those distant places?

Should we send officials there, or what should we do?One or two officials is fine, but what about too many people?How far away is it?The railway is a good thing, but it is impossible to build it all over the world in a short period of time.

All kinds of costs add up to a considerable amount.What if the occupied places rebelled?The imperial court sent troops to suppress?

One place and two places are okay, how about more places?It is not a long-term solution for the imperial court to be exhausted!
The concubine does not understand the government, but she also understands a major reason for the demise of the Qin Dynasty.If the first emperor had entrusted his sons to be kings in various places, the second generation would not have died."

Sun Ling kept talking.

Sun Jie at the side fell silent.

What I said makes sense.

The next day, a small meeting.

After Sun Jie ascended the throne, there will be a small pilgrimage every five days.

The so-called Xiaochaohui is to gather the main officials of more than six ministries in the conference room opposite the Imperial Study Room to discuss recent events.

As for the previous Dachaohui, it was abolished by Sun Jie.

That thing is not only a waste of time, but also inefficient.

In normal times, the Six Ministries, the Civil and Military Senates each perform their duties, small matters are dealt with internally, and major matters are submitted to Sun Jie.

Coupled with the participation of the Xiaochaohui, the efficiency of work has been greatly improved.

Sun Jie also reformed the imperial government's decrees. For major events, the imperial decree was used as the order, and for minor matters, the decrees of the Civil and Military Senate were supplemented.

Great autonomy was given to the Civil and Military Senate.

However, any decree must be approved by Sun Jie.

Opposite the imperial study room, a conference room was specially built.

Similar to the modern meeting room, a huge oval table is located in it, with Sun Jie on the main seat, Wen on the left and the army on the right, in order.

Sun Jie sat on the main seat and listened to the questions of many officials.

There are more things today. Recently, there have been a lot of territories. The officials and soldiers in these places, as well as disaster relief and resettlement of victims, are all major national affairs.

The small pilgrimage lasted for six hours, from six in the morning until twelve noon.

This is still to get rid of those trivial things. If these things are added, there will be no big or small things, and Sun Jie will be exhausted.

One advantage of this framework set by Sun Jie is that even if the emperor is not present, the court can still operate officially.

Near the end, Sun Chuanting suddenly stood up, cupped his hands towards Sun Jie, and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, for the continuation of the dynasty and the eternal existence of the country, all the emperors of all dynasties have accepted concubines to enrich the harem, so that Prevent the unexpected from happening.

Today, I am the Great Qin, and the territory will spread all over the world. The land is vast and the resources are abundant. Your Majesty should focus on the country and accept the concubine! "

As soon as these words fell, the officials in the conference room responded one after another.

Sun Jie looked at these people in the conference room and frowned slightly.

At first, I thought it was only Sun Ling who thought this way, but I didn't expect that all the civil and military people in the court thought this way.

In fact, this idea has been around for a long time.

Just never said it.

The rules must conform to the background of the times.

Some modern rules are very good in modern times, but if they are used now, they are somewhat inconsistent with the background of the times.

All policies that do not conform to the background of the times are hooligans.

At present, it is not a problem for Sun Jie to conquer the whole world.

The big question is how to hold these frontiers.

The place is too big, and there are often many problems.

At some point, Sun Jie was a symbol of this huge empire.

Just like the Han Dynasty in history, the kings must be entrusted in order to properly control the world.

The Han Dynasty at that time was not fundamentally different from the current Great Qin Dynasty in this matter.

"This matter should be discussed in the long run!"

Sun Jie left a word and left here.

The rest of these officials look at me and I look at you, at a loss.

The emperor has no sons, and the officials are worried. The emperor has few sons, and the officials are worried. The emperor has many sons, and the officials are also worried.

In short, there is no time to worry.

After eating, Sun Jie did not go to the imperial study to deal with government affairs as usual, after tidying up a bit, he left the palace with his personal guards and wandered around the city.

Turning around, I came to the shop opened by Buhe.

As soon as I arrived here, I saw Buhe, who was wearing an apron, busy in the store.

In fact, the appearance of the grassland people is not much different from that of the Central Plains people, except for the subtle differences caused by environmental factors, there is almost no difference.

It is said that the Jin family still has Liu Bang's genes.

Buhe's surname is Borzigit, and Borzigit and Borjijin are just a matter of transliteration.

Speaking of it, the entire Chinese cultural circle has long been formed in the past thousands of years.

At this time, Bu He looked no different from an ordinary old man.

Today's life is a bit busy, but it's also fun.

Just after delivering a roasted whole lamb to the guest's table, he saw Sun Jie standing outside the door.

Sun Jie didn't come once or twice, he was used to it.

As usual, he walked out of the store and came to Sun Jie.

"The former private room has been reserved for His Majesty!" Bu He said with a submissive expression.

The person in front of him is not an emperor like Chongzhen who doesn't have much power, but an emperor with real power, an emperor who has supreme power and will surpass Genghis Khan sooner or later.

Being able to survive is already a blessing, so how can you expect anything else?

Sun Jie nodded and walked in.

Bu He hurriedly took Sun Jie up to the second floor and came to that room.

This is the best room in Buhe store, specially reserved for Sun Jie.

"Let's have some food today!"

Sun Jie said casually.

Bu He nodded heavily and walked out.

Sun Jie sat by the window and looked down.

Outside are bustling pedestrians and a bustling commercial street.

Several extremely discordant figures broke into Sun Jie's field of vision.

Those were a few extremely short people, the tallest was only 1.6 meters, and the remaining seven or eight were all about 1.5 meters.

It is extremely conspicuous in the crowd, like a row of green onions growing in a clump of trees.

Although he was wearing a round neck or cross-collar gown, the smell of Japanese pirates was overwhelming.

"It should be the Japanese pirates. News came from Tianjin Port a few days ago, saying that the Tokugawa shogunate sent envoys for peace. Counting the time, they should have arrived. Think about it, it's these people!"

Sun Jie quickly recognized the identities of these people.

Tokugawa Iemitsu's life is extremely difficult these days.

The main force of the shogunate was blocked in North Korea, unable to retreat or fight through.

The number of available soldiers in hand is too small, and big names from all over the world are ready to move.

If it weren't for the support of several loyal daimyos, no one knows how things will develop.

It was originally thought that the air route to North Korea could be opened up and these soldiers could be withdrawn.

Who knows, this is a fundamentally impossible thing.

No matter how many warships are sent, they will never return.

Those steel warships will not let them pass easily.

With one shot, the tortoise-like Ataka ship was about to sink.

The country of Wa has a small population and few people, and Tokugawa Iemitsu cannot afford it.

Therefore, he could only send envoys to seek peace, hoping that Sun Jie would be lenient.
