Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 144
"You can talk like a kid."

Lao Zhu looked a little better. Indeed, without the foundation laid by him, there would be no good days for Zhu Di and Zhu Houzhao, these rebellious sons and stubborn grandchildren.

But in the next moment, he felt that Zhu Houzhao had something in his words, and he was running on him. Others didn't know, but he, who had been to Zhengde World, would not know that Zhu Houzhao overthrew all the Ming systems he formulated.

Just this, and saying that it is based on the foundation he laid, is clearly mocking him.

"Zhu Houzhao, are you kidding me?"

Old Zhu's eyes were not friendly.

"Let's get on with business!"

Zhu Houzhao changed the subject, and turned his gaze back to the little fat man Baoye: "How should we conquer the world of Swordsman?"

"Just follow the main line!"

Master Bao replied softly, then lay back on his shell bed and continued to sleep soundly.

Eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating are the main components of his life. After all, everyone in Lao Zhu's family will help him get what he needs, so he can naturally live a leisurely life.

"Main thread."

Zhu Houzhao was thoughtful and understood roughly what to do.

Everyone in the old Zhu's family was at a loss, and they didn't understand what the "main line" meant.

Sure enough, the Riddler and the like are the most annoying.

"Go back and talk."

Since you can't figure it out, don't think too much, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge.

Everyone returned to the world of Chongzhen, took a rest, and then returned to their own world.

When you come, you will be empty, and when you go, you will return with a full load.

Zhu Houzhao is not the only chicken thief, everyone in the old Zhu family also has a unique vision. The artillery technology of the Chongzhen Dynasty is amazing. They all consciously copied a copy of the artillery technology of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and then packed it away.

Of course, Zhu Youjian has no objection to this. His ancestors and ancestors helped him settle the precarious country and society. Isn't it right to take a little artillery technology as a reward.

Compared with everyone in the old Zhu family, Zhu Houzhao is undoubtedly more ruthless. He wants technology, and he also wants people.

Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing, regardless of their willingness or not, just packed them up and took them away.

People and wealth gain both, and everyone in the Chongzhen world, everyone in the old Zhu family has a good harvest, but Zhu Houzhao is the one who takes the big head.

After running back and forth three times, Liu Jin, Sunflower Jianwei, Xu Guangqi, and Song Yingxing were all brought back to Zhengde Dynasty.

Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Jin to arrange a secret residence for Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing. From now on, their main job is to research and manufacture various advanced weapons for Zhu Houzhao.

All the affairs of the Zhengde Dynasty were carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Wang Yangming, and many things could be easily resolved without Zhu Houzhao's personal appearance.

The reason why it went so smoothly is Zhu Houzhao's credit. If he hadn't carried out a major purge of the civil servants, the Jiangnan gentry, and the vassal kings, all forces would not have accepted the new government policy honestly.

Reforms in various places are in full swing, and Yang Yiqing, who was sent by Zhu Houzhao to suppress the rebellion of local clans, has also returned.

Zhu Houzhao immediately summoned Yang Yiqing in Nuange.

"Really."

After listening to Yang Yiqing's report, Zhu Houzhao couldn't laugh or cry at once. The coquettish operations of those local clans almost made him laugh to death.

Lijiacun, Taiyuan, who took the lead in making troubles first, claimed to be a descendant of the Li family of the Tang royal family, but in fact it was just a descendant left by a servant who once raised horses for Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

Claiming to be the descendants of the Great Tang royal family is just pretending to be majestic and fooling people. Anyway, it has been many years since the Great Tang Dynasty perished, and no one will check their details at all.

Zhao Family Village in Kaifeng, Liu Family Village in Luoyang, and Yang Family Village in Huayin are mostly the same. They claim to be descendants of the royal family, but in fact they are not as powerful as they boast.

It's just that after bragging for a long time, he really regarded himself as a descendant of the royal family, dared to challenge the court, and then let Yang Yiqing suppress it easily.

"absurd!"

Zhu Houzhao was extremely speechless. Apart from the word "ridiculous", he really couldn't find other words to describe the coquettish operations of the clans in those places.

Find a powerful ancestor for yourself to act as a protective umbrella, so as to play awe-inspiring and fool people.

Absurd? Absurd indeed!

But it is not absurd!

Great shade under the tree.

Birth determines destiny!

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, some people felt that Lao Zhu was born in a lowly way, a mere cowherd boy, even if he ruled the world, it would be difficult to convince the people of the world, so they suggested that Lao Zhu recognize Neo Confucianism and Zhu Xi as the ancestor.

With the name of Zhu Xi's descendants, even if Lao Zhu is indeed a cowherd boy, he will become radiant in the eyes of the world, just like Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. Take this to win over scholars all over the world.

Although this proposal was not adopted by Lao Zhu, it can be seen how important it is to have a famous ancestor. Even if he declines, others will think highly of him.

Therefore, although the operation of those local clans who claim to be descendants of the royal family makes people laugh and cry, it is not difficult to understand.

"Li Family Village in Taiyuan, Zhao Family Village in Kaifeng, Liu Family Village in Luoyang, and Yang Family Village in Huayin"

Zhu Houzhao shook his head helplessly, those local clans were really ignorant, how could the real descendants of the royal family dare to be so ostentatious.

Blatantly claiming to be a descendant of the royal family, openly challenging the imperial court that controls the world, is it because he thinks he died not fast enough?
There must be real descendants of the royal family, but they will definitely not be those local clans. It is too late for the real descendants of the royal family to keep a low profile, so how dare they advertise themselves everywhere.

"How does Yang Qing think the local clan should be dealt with?"

Zhu Houzhao asked Yang Yiqing that although the rebellious local clans were suppressed, there were still countless local clan forces in Ming Dynasty, and he was not at ease if all the local clan forces were not disintegrated.

Since ancient times, it has almost become an ironclad fact that imperial power does not go to the countryside.

But Zhu Houzhao did not believe in evil, the imperial power must go to the countryside, and every inch of land in the Zhengde Dynasty must strictly implement his will.

"The local clan is bound by blood, and most of the internal personnel are people with the same surname and clan. It is very difficult, very difficult to completely disintegrate the clan power!"

Yang Yiqing understood Zhu Houzhao's thoughts and couldn't help shaking his head.

He was able to suppress the local clans that caused rebellion because there were many contradictions within the clan itself.

But it is almost impossible to completely disintegrate the power of clans in various places. The bloodlines are unbroken, not to mention that some clans in some places are descendants of real historical celebrities. Although they are declining day by day, they still have a wide network of people. Big, as much as whipping up a big purge.

Moreover, local clans are far more complex than interest groups such as civil servant groups, Jiangnan gentry groups, and vassal king groups. They include ordinary people, declining nobles, gentry tyrants, and complex personnel. chaos, otherwise
The imperial court should not intervene forcibly. If it is forced, it is likely to cause a strong backlash from the local clans and lead to civil uprisings.

　The extraordinary road starts now!
