Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 422 Lancang: Zhu Youqi’s Political Wisdom in Eastern Europe
Reformers will not end well.

Regardless of Zhu Jian's purge and purge of the court, it actually did not affect the interests of the top dignitaries.

In fact, when he purged the court, he reached a tacit agreement with the top dignitaries, and at the same time, there was an old emperor sitting on top of him. After Zhu Jianji got the money, he spread it among the people again, satisfying the needs of the three classes of the emperor, power and people at the same time. .

Only then can the court be cleared and the tumor removed without offending the interests of the top dignitaries in the court.

Just like Peng Yi, who committed suicide, Zhu Jianjian can appropriately raise his hand, which is to reassure the top dignitaries.

Therefore, there is a reason why officials and powerful people have not been punished by death since ancient times.

Because the emperor is the most powerful person, how could he dismantle his throne?

But the world must be cleared up in time, otherwise it will be difficult to recover.

The Ming Dynasty is like this now. After fifty years of prosperity, too much darkness has accumulated. If it is not cleared up in time, the Ming Dynasty will decline off a cliff and gradually return to the track of history. In the future, it will fall behind in the struggle for world hegemony and eventually change dynasties.

Throughout history, the dynasties in this land have been prominent in the world for a while, and then fell off a cliff. There has never been a dynasty that has dominated the world for more than fifty years, as if it was cursed.

All the Central Plains dynasties perished due to civil strife.

Although it clearly has the most hard-working people, the most complete political system, a diverse ethnic group, a rich labor force, and even the intellectual superiority among races, it cannot dominate for a long time.

In the final analysis, it is the perfect system that does not allow expansion, it is the smart minds that drive infighting, and it is the abundant labor force and vast land and resources that create inertia in human nature.

Therefore, the Central Plains dynasty does not have the innate conditions for expansion. Even if it briefly dominates, it will be defeated by internal fighting. In the end, it will be difficult to defend the basic market.

The old emperor tried his best to push the Ming Dynasty into the world and maintain the face of the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain country of the world, but how many years can this face last?
Reform must be carried out endlessly in order to restore the vitality of the dynasty and maintain the Ming Dynasty's position as the hegemon of the world.

However, reform will kill people and touch vested interest groups.

Zhu Jianji succeeded to the throne and could clean up a wave of people, but after he ascended the throne, could he continue to clean up? Who will support him?

The emperor needs cronies, not to mention the emperor, even a magistrate needs cronies.

Are the cronies greedy?
As long as the investigation is carried out, it will definitely be found on his head. When the time comes, will the superior kill him or not? If you kill him, who will work for you in the future? If we don’t kill, what kind of reform will we do?

Therefore, if you change the reform again and again, you will be punished by yourself.

Liu Jian was not afraid, but firmly disagreed. He would rather wipe his neck and commit suicide than do anything to deepen reforms.

It’s okay to shout slogans, but don’t really change them.

Even if the old emperor is twenty years younger and sits in charge personally, he still cannot deepen the reform. The Ming Dynasty's path, foundation, and development direction are already deeply ingrained. It is difficult to turn the ship around, or it is impossible to turn around.

Not to mention Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Peng Shao were all stunned and retreated after being announced to the palace.

No one dares to interfere with in-depth reforms.

Zhu Jianjian's purge is possible. It only kills the tentacles at the bottom. It will be beneficial to the entire top-level elite class by clearing the upper and lower passages.

Moreover, the cake is only so big. Removing some useless wealthy families will also allow the top powers to eat more of the cake.

Besides, the old emperor was forced to change the palace for the prince, and he was angry in his heart. If he was not allowed to vent, how could everyone happily make money if the old man was killed?
Therefore, when Zhu Jianji purged the officialdom, the top dignitaries supported it, but the mid-level dignitaries did not support it but had a knife on their necks. It did not matter what the bottom dignitaries thought.

But when it comes to reform, it means shaking the rules and regulations of society and shaking the foundation of the country, which is dangerous.

If Zhu Jianjian insisted on reform, he would have to gamble with his own life and the life of his grandson. They were gambling, but the officials involved in the reform would definitely not die well, and there would be no accidents.

Just when Zhu Jianji was troubled by reform problems.

Zhu Houyong has gone south from Nanzhao Province to Lancang Province.

Lancang Province, which is southern Myanmar, has just been renamed Lancang Province, or Nu for short.

The word "nu" comes from the Nu River.

There are three major rivers in Myanmar, the Ilodiva River, the Salween River, and the Mekong River.

The source of the Ilodiva River is the Dulong River of the Ming Dynasty. Its source is in the snow-capped mountains. It winds down from the snow-capped mountains and flows north-south into the Andaman Sea in Motama Bay. The entire river runs through the entire Myanmar.

The Salween River, also called the Nu River in the Ming Dynasty, also originated from the snowy mountains. The anger of the Nu River comes from the Nu people of China, so it is called the Nu River.

The Mekong River is called the Lancang River in the Ming Dynasty. The Lancang River is the ninth longest river in the world, the fifth longest river in Asia, and the longest river in Southeast Asia.

It can be said that all the major rivers in Southeast Asia come from the snowy mountains and the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.

I chose to use "nu" as the abbreviation because the abbreviation of dragon is used by Heilongjiang and Mekong River is also used by other provinces, so I can only use nu.

After the Ming Dynasty occupied the entire Baiyue land, the name of the entire river was restored to the Chinese name, including the Mekong River and the Chao Phraya River, which were all changed into the Lancang River. Only the branches had their own independent names, and the main trunk was unified as the Lancang River.

Lancang Province is different from Dali and Nanzhao. It is a province with a large population, with a registered population of 1.7 million and a permanent population of 2.3 million.

As the provincial capital of Lancang Province, Yangon was formerly called Dagon. Later, the Shwedagon Pagoda was built and it was renamed Daguang. Yangon was changed from Daguang.

The Ming Dynasty named the city Dulong.

Because this plain is the richest plain washed out by the Dulong River, it is also called Dulong Plain, Lancang Plain, and Daguang Plain.

In the 65th year of Jingtai, it was decided to upgrade Dulong City to Longjing.

The government of Lancang Province was moved north to Naypyitaw. Naypyitaw is now called Pyinmana, and the Ming Dynasty changed its name to Yuedu.

The word Yue is taken from Wang Yue, because during the Burmese War, Wang Yue controlled this city and built the city into a base camp. Only then did he win the Burmese War for more than ten years and successfully occupy the entire land of Myanmar. The more you take credit, the more great you will be.

At that time, I never thought that this city would become the provincial capital of Lancang Province.

The main reason for moving the provincial capital here is the important strategic location. Secondly, the city built by Wang Yue has a profound foundation. Nearly one million officers and soldiers settled in Yuedu during the Burma War. The location is favorable and the people are innate, so they have the innate ability to move the provincial capital. Advantage.

As a large and densely populated province, coastal provinces, economically developed provinces, and economically developed cities such as Bago and Mawlamyine are suitable for provincial governance.

Yangon, also known as Dulong, has a registered population of 2200 million and a permanent population of 3500 million, ranking among the top ten cities in the Ming Dynasty.

First of all, Dulong has a superior geographical location, similar to the topography of Guangzhou Bay, and its two wings of the seaport are like Hong Kong and Macau, giving it the geographical advantage of a natural port.

It is also located on the Tang Dynasty Ocean, and its geographical location is extremely important. It is responsible for the enemies from the Datang Ocean.

Compared with Dulong, which has a superior geographical location, Yuedu's geographical location is too poor. The provincial capital located in the mountains can be said to be the poorest city in Lancang Province.

The population of Yuedu is only 800 million. Even if the provincial capital is relocated, the population will hardly exceed million.

Far inferior to Moulmein and Bago.

Mawlamyine is an ancient Burmese shipyard. The ships sold to the Ming Dynasty by the Lower Burmese Dynasty were manufactured and exported from Mawlamyine and Madaban.

After the Ming Dynasty occupied Mawlamyine, it took in a large number of Mon shipbuilding workers.

There are a small number of Mon people active in the Ming Dynasty, who are the descendants of the shipbuilders who took refuge in the Ming Dynasty. Some of these people moved to the Nanjing Songjiang Shipyard, while others stayed here.

Mawlamyine was changed to Chuanzhou by Wang Yue.

But in the 1900th year of Jingtai, it was changed back to Moulmein. As the second largest city in Lancang Province, Moulmein has a population of 3000 million and a permanent population of nearly million. It is also the second largest trading port in Lancang Province.

Mawlamyine is mainly engaged in the import and export trade of the southwest. All overseas goods from the southwest will basically stay at the port of Mawlamyine, which has led to the glory of Mawlamyine.

In the fifty-third year of Jingtai, Chuanzhou University was established in the Ming Dynasty and was the fourth key university in the southwest.

Last year, Mawlamyine ranked eighth among the 100 civilized cities selected by the imperial court, and was praised as a tourist city, a literary city, a civilized city, a hygienic city, and a safe city.

Moreover, it was also the first batch of cities to enter industrialization in the Ming Dynasty.

As a compatriot from Nanzhao, there is no good treatment in Lancang Province.

Those who come to Lancang Province to serve as officials are all from the imperial court, and all of them are backed by gangsters. The imperial court also pays special attention to Lancang Province, because Lancang Province has paid more than 100 million yuan in taxes to the imperial court every year in the past five years.

Countries like Bago, Yecheng, and Nonglang (Tawei) all have a population of over 10 million.

Last year, when they were fighting for provincial governance, the prefects were almost at war, and the central government was almost quarreling. In the end, Yuedu probably didn't expect that the pie would fall on his own head.

The most powerful one is Bago. Like Dulong City, it is built on the bay. It has a registered population of 1700 million, but the permanent population is more than 2000 million.

Everyone in the world thought that the provincial government would be moved to Bago, but they didn't expect it to be moved to the countryside, a large village that is neither near a river nor near the sea... Everyone in the world was speechless.

The reason for moving north is because this is the core of Myanmar and the hub area of ​​the two provinces. Controlling this place, the two provinces of Myanmar cannot escape from the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houyong felt that he was too wealthy in Dulong and Bago. This was another Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

The Ming Dynasty traded with Europe, Africa, West Asia, and South Asia, mainly in the three provinces of Bangladesh, Lancang, and Malacca.

Trade with Oceania and the Americas is in the four provinces of Japan, Fujian, Luzon and Guangdong.

Last year, in the ranking of the top 100 cities, Guangzhou ranked sixth, Dulong ranked ninth, Bago ranked 24th, and Mawlamyine ranked 69th.

You know how wealthy Lancang Province is.

The Longjing Railway has been in operation for seven or eight years. It takes 14 and a half days to reach Dulong City, Lancang Province, from Beijing to Longjing.

As one of the ten capitals of the Ming Dynasty, Longjing has three farthest railways, one is the Longjing Railway and the other is the Longku Railway. They go all the way west from Longjing, passing through Kunming, Chongqing, Lanzhou, Xining, Turpan, and Feier. Khujand of Cannar;
The last one is the Long-Harbin Railway, which runs from Longjing to Harbin via Vientiane, Hanoi, Nanning, Guilin, Changsha, Wuhan, Kaifeng, Jinan, Tangshan, Shenyang and Changchun.

Three railways running from north to south and east to west connect Lancang Province and the mainland.

Zhu Houyong went from Longjing to Bago and felt the prosperity of Lancang and the developed transportation.

In Dali and Nanzhao provinces, there is only one train a day, and you have to wait wherever you go. But it is different in Lancang Province. No matter where you go, there are many trains, and there are many train stations.

Longjing and Bago are not transportation hubs. It is even more convenient to take a boat than to take a train. But in Zhu Houyong's eyes, this is really a hub city and everything is convenient.

Because it is developed and has a large passenger flow, it is convenient.

Dali Province and Nanzhao Province also want to open more trains, but only few people can take them, so they will lose money if they are opened.

Daming's railways and highways are all privately owned, and state-owned enterprises do have a share, but the share is very low.

It is harder to get capital to donate than to kill them.

Zhu Houyong stayed in Lancang Province for a month. Because the court was arresting people, his inspection was blocked, and everything was focused on safety.

When he came out of Nanzhao Province, he was indeed assassinated twelve times, which had never happened before.

The main reason was that his grandfather had touched someone else's cake, and this assassination was just a warning.

As strong as the old emperor, he is also weak-minded.

To say that Zhu Jianji wanted to reform was to gamble with the lives of his children and grandchildren.

Zhu Houyong happened to catch up with the rainy season. It was the first time in his life that he encountered such terrible weather, and he immediately fell ill.

He stayed in Mawlamyine to recuperate.

With railways and roads, the rainy season in Southeast Asia can no longer prevent human travel, but it is limited to local people working normally. Travel is very difficult, and tourism is out of the question.

Northerners like Zhu Houyong cannot adapt to the rainy season here. They can only wait until the rainy season passes before continuing to patrol.

It just so happened that while Zhu Houying was recovering from his illness, he wrote down everything he saw and heard along the way as a travel diary.

He personally wrote and analyzed the provinces he visited, including Hubei, Hunan, Chongqing, Sichuan, Dali, and Nanzhao, from multiple dimensions.

The attention shifted to Shang Kingdom.

Zhu Youquan has ascended the throne as the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty. It would be a lie to say that the Ming Dynasty did not care about it at all and did not hate the old emperor at all.

The great grandson of the Ming Dynasty turned into the emperor of the Shang Kingdom.

Both his parents died of illness, and he became the head of the family ahead of schedule.

The Shang State had a two-capital system, with Moscow in the west and Kazan in Tokyo.

Sitting on the Arctic Ocean, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, and Caspian Sea, he was the great emperor who dominated Eastern Europe and was the first emperor of the vassal state.

Zhu Jianjian was in the process of conquering the Cossack Khanate and completely taking the northern coast of the Black Sea as his own. However, the process was interrupted by drastic changes in the country. This important task was left to Zhu Youqi.

The entire Shang Kingdom has a non-Han population of about 6000 million.

The appearance, skin color, and culture of these people are completely different from those of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they are Chinese, it is not a day's work.

In order to quickly secure the throne of Eastern European emperor, Zhu Jianjian gave up many interests. This is also the reason why the white people are lingering on.

After the defeat of the Ottomans, a large number of Ottomans fled to the north coast of the Black Sea, became refugees, and entered the merchant country.

When Zhu Jianjian was there, he accepted refugees.

The Shang Kingdom was short of slaves, and Zhu Jianjian was unwilling to spend money to buy them, so he accepted the refugees and let them work for the Shang Kingdom. All the low-level jobs in the society were done by white people.

According to statistics, more than 300,000 white people died every year in the Shang Kingdom.

However, Zhu Jianji suddenly returned to China to succeed the crown prince, and Zhu Jianqi's family came to the Shang Kingdom to become merchant kings. The political family exchanged. This period was a political blank period. More refugees came in, and there was no place to properly resettle them.

Some white people rose up in rebellion. In just three to four months, there were more than a hundred rebellions, but they were all wiped out by Zhu Jianjian's elite soldiers and generals.

However, the Shang army was gradually transferred away and replaced by old Ming soldiers. Unfamiliar with the terrain, they were defeated several times by the anti-government army. The morale of the opposing army was greatly boosted and a large number of white people were recruited. Now they have become the first army. An anti-government armed force.

Zhu Jianqi died of illness on the road again. Zhu Youqi had to control the court, organize funerals, and take care of the new court situation. He was very worried. This gave the anti-government forces an opportunity to grow bigger.

The anti-government army now has 300,000 white people and is constantly expanding. Many people who fled from the Ottomans have joined the anti-government army.

Some people say that the Ottoman authorities are behind this anti-government army.

Some people also say that it is Zhao Guo who is funding the anti-government forces.

Anyway, there must be a consortium behind the anti-government army, because their equipment is all standard equipment, and some of it is produced by the Ming Dynasty Military Factory.

After Zhu Youqi succeeded to the throne of Dashang Emperor, Zhao Wang Zhu Youchen was eyeing Dashang's homeland. As a buffer state between Dashang and Germany, Zhao State was actually signing an armistice agreement with Germany and planned to send its troops eastward to attack Dashang.

However, Zhu Youqu did not pay special attention to the anti-government forces, which were mainly located on the Crimean Peninsula.

But as time went by, the entire peninsula was controlled by the anti-government forces, and their military forces moved eastward in an attempt to cut off the connection between the Sui Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty.

There was still no movement from Dashang, so the Sui Dynasty sent troops to repel the anti-government forces and drove them back to the Crimean Peninsula.

When Zhu Jianjian was the emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty, he attached great importance to Crimea because it was the most important outlet for the Shang Dynasty on the Black Sea.

Once Crimea was lost, the maritime trade of the great merchants was basically cut off.

Zhu Youquan was overwhelmed by the complex affairs of the government. He had no time to take care of a peninsula. Even if he knew that the strategic location of the peninsula was important and he could send troops to quell the rebellion, who would defend the center?

Zhu Youquan was content if he could defend Moscow. The old ministers of the Shang Kingdom simply ignored him because of their seniority. Those with vested interests in the country did not welcome him as the new emperor at all.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to clean up the situation.

Seeing that the Shang State was weak, Qi, Zhao and Lu quietly pushed the territory eastwards for two hundred miles. When they found that there was no movement from the Shang State, they pushed another two hundred miles.

Originally, the westernmost territory of the Shang Kingdom was St. Petersburg, which occupied the outlet of the Baltic Sea. However, St. Petersburg was occupied by the Zhao Kingdom. The two countries were bounded by Lake Ladoga. However, a month later, the Zhao Kingdom occupied all of Ladoga Lake.

King Lu did not dare to attack Moscow directly, but he liked the Ukrainian plains. This vast plain was the richest region in Eastern Europe.

The food supply of the entire Europe basically depends on the Polish plains, Belarusian plains and Ukrainian plains.

The most important thing is that the Cossack Khanate was not completely conquered. This was a good opportunity for Lu to conquer.

King Lu's territory was quietly pushed southward.

Over the past few years, the King of Lu, Zhu Youping, has completely embraced Belarus. The entire Belarus is now the Chu State. During the period of Poland's rule, the population of Belarus was still about 130 million.

After entering the Lu State, there were still 90 White Russians left, who basically transformed into Lu people.

Zhu Youping followed the policy of his father Zhu Jianji, and did not subjugate the country and exterminate the species, but carried out Huairou Hanization. The main reason was that the Lu State lacked labor. Someone had to do the work of digging toilets, digging feces, farming and mining.

People in the Ming Dynasty will definitely not do it. As the world becomes more and more impetuous, people who work the land to support themselves are looked down upon. Farmers have become inferior people, so people in the Ming Dynasty are not willing to farm now.

There must be a need for farmers.

It just so happens that Belarusians and Poles are natural farmers.

They are good at digging in the soil and not good at fighting. Do they look like Ming people?

Both belong to agricultural civilization and were invaded, but Belarus and Poland have a lie-down attitude towards those who resist. The Chinese resist, I am weak but you can't bully me. Belarus and Poland do not resist anyone who bullies me.

As a lying-down ethnic group, the White Russians became the lowest class of society in the State of Lu.

There are 90 women among the 60 White Russians. The good-looking ones are sold to prostitutes, and the ugly ones are either turned into slaves or married to poor old men like those in the Ming Dynasty.

The remaining 30 Belarusian men have become synonymous with the lower class people.

But they can also get wives because the population of Lu country is too small.

The country of Lu has a population of only 600 million, making it the country with the smallest population among the vassal states.

Zhu Youxi was particularly worried about the population problem. The population of Lu State was all emigrated from Shang State, and they also accepted criminals from various countries, so that they could only have a population of 600 million.

Lu State has a serious shortage of labor force. Even if he takes over the Ukrainian plains, there will not be enough manpower to farm the land.

Therefore, he first sent people to plunder the population, then showed mercy to the Cossack Khanate, and then directly annexed all the territory on the west coast of the Dnieper River in Dashan. The Dnieper River is the second largest river in Eastern Europe. It originates from the hills near Moscow and passes through Belarus and Ukraine.

Zhu Youping did not dare to say that he would take possession of the entire river, but he wanted all the rivers in the White Russian and Cossack Khanate.

Moreover, troops were constantly sent to plunder the population.

Soon, the population of Lu State exceeded 10 million.

The Sui Dynasty, which originally focused on the southern foot of the Caucasus Mountains, found that the Qi and Lu countries continued to embezzle the Great Shang, but there was no movement in the Shang Kingdom.

Sui Wang Zhu Jianxi also had some thoughts.

In the past, he was worried about being a neighbor to the overlord Shang State, so he placed four small vassal states in the Caucasus Mountains as a buffer zone between the two countries.

In recent years, the Shang and Sui dynasties have been at peace.

But with the discovery of the Baku oil field, both the Shang and Sui Dynasties became jealous. Because of this oil field, the two almost took action.

Or central mediation, this issue is put aside for the time being.

But now, Zhu Jianjian has returned to his country to become the crown prince, and Zhu Jianxi has a wrong idea. If he can capture all of Baku, the national power of the Sui Kingdom will rise to a higher level.

Therefore, he paid close attention to the situation in Shang Kingdom.

The anti-government army tried to move eastward, and Zhu Jianxi sent troops to drive them back. This was also a test of Dashang and found that Dashang was weak.

After the Lu State annexed the great plain on the west bank of the Dnieper River, the Sui State suddenly sent troops to annex four small vassal states in the Caucasus Mountains.

The four small vassal kings were driven to other places to establish feudal states.

There are two more sons here.

Two grandsons of Zhu Jianji.

The royal family must not be killed, but the same cannot be said for others.

Four small vassal states were annexed, and the Baku oil field was completely in the hands of the Sui State.

On the way to the north, there was no obstacle. It was a vast plain. Zhu Jianxi was so hungry for plains. In the past few years, he had been buying soil and farming in the mountains.

All the national power of the Sui Dynasty was focused on this.

Now there was a vast plain before him, and he would be a fool if he didn't move.

After annexing four small vassal states, he continued to advance north and captured the south bank of the Volga River where it entered the Caspian Sea. He originally wanted to invade Astrakhan, but the Wei State sent troops to Astrakhan and forced the Sui troops to retreat.

Zhu Jianxi was not satisfied yet and marched into the south bank of the Don River.

In the area sandwiched between the Don River and the Volga River, mines were laid and fortifications were built as a new boundary between the Sui and Shang Dynasties.

Zhu Jianxi was very satisfied with the vast plains and the fierce Cossack cavalry. He welcomed capable foreigners very much.

Those who have no ability can only go to the toilet, which is the final destination of white people.

Wei Guo is not a good thing either.

Wei didn't want land, they wanted population and wealth.

Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Shang Dynasty, the Wei State recruited wealthy merchants from the Shang Dynasty and tried to collapse the financial system of the Shang Dynasty and carve out a piece of fat from the Shang Dynasty.

Moreover, he pushed the permafrost area in the north to the west indefinitely. He did not dare to covet the fertile Eastern European plains, but he did not mind the cold. Let the permafrost area belong to me.

By the time Zhu Youqu discovered it, Dashang had lost more than two million square kilometers of territory.

Zhu Youqi did not directly declare war.

Instead, they first sent people to the center to cry, and then contacted Germany, Wei, Iraq, Xu and other countries to form the Eurasian Alliance.

In fact, the Eurasian Alliance is just a verbal alliance, which at most confuses the minds of the four countries.

The real purpose is to unite vertical and horizontal forces within the court, persuade the Shang Dynasty's powerful people, and tie these people onto their own chariots.

After paying huge benefits, Zhu Youqi was finally able to send troops.

Zhu Youqi picked the soft persimmon first.

The permafrost area taken away by the Wei State has no practical significance. If you ask for it back in the future, it will be that the Sui State is too strong, King Zhao is good at conquering, and only King Lu is a soft persimmon.

Zhu Youqu organized a large army to attack the state of Lu and regain the lost territory.

But he completely underestimated Zhu Youping.

Zhu You was both civil and military. He defeated Shang's offensive in a few small battles, and then used his trump card to spend money to buy talents.

Many troops from Shang State fled and surrendered to Lu State.

This was certainly due to Zhu Youqua's inexperience, but it was also due to the Shang Dynasty's powerful officials who were unwilling to sacrifice their lives for Zhu Youqua.

Zhu Youquan drove them just for profit, and he couldn't act like an arm.

Therefore, failure is inevitable.

Don't forget, King Lu is the fourth son of Zhu Jianji, and he was also a Shang Dynasty.

At this moment, Zhu Youquan realized that he was nothing without the support of the old emperor. He could not defeat a small vassal king.

Zhu Youqi was not discouraged. He did not like to admit defeat, but racked his brains to think of ways to break the situation.

The State of Lu did not continue to attack Zhu Youquan, but continued to send troops to plunder the population.

The war lasted for three months, and the population of Lu State surged to 1700 million.

This coincided with the outbreak of the massacre of China in the Crimean Peninsula.

The white anti-government forces killed all the Chinese on the Crimean Peninsula, announced the liberation of Crimea, and established the Crimean state.

As soon as this incident came out, there was an uproar at home and abroad.

The people of the Shang Dynasty accused Zhu Youquan of being incompetent and causing the death of his compatriots. They even wanted to ask King Zhao to return to the country and ascend the throne and drive Zhu Youquan out of the Shang Kingdom.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Zhu Youquan signed an armistice agreement with Lu, Zhao, Sui, and Wei, which actually played into Zhu Youquan's wishes.

Zhu Youqi knew very well that he could not defeat the four countries, and he might not win a single game. Rather than doing that, it would be better to stop the loss as soon as possible.

At the same time, he invited the four countries to help the merchant country recover the Crimean Peninsula.

He was clearly defeated, but he didn't dare to take action in the face of domestic rebellion, and instead sought to defeat his opponent. It was really ridiculous.

Zhu Youqi became a big joke because of this.

The monarchs of the four countries laughed at Zhu Youquan, and after asking for a large number of benefits, they agreed.

The four countries formed a coalition and sent 120,000 troops. King Zhao personally led the troops. In just thirty-one days, they defeated the anti-government army and killed all the chickens and dogs on the island.

When the good news reached Moscow, Zhu Youquan immediately announced that Bering would be slaughtered.

Kill all the white people in the territory!
However, the four countries were on alert because the Shang Kingdom was killing and driving away the white people to the surrounding countries.

In the past, the dividing line between the Shang Kingdom and other countries was a large mountain range, but this time the four countries took the opportunity to annex a lot of territory, especially the Sui Kingdom, which clearly occupied the southern foothills of the Caucasus Mountains. The two countries were in peace, and you had to cross the Caucasus Mountains. Run out onto the plains.

The Wei State was the worst. They lived in permafrost areas. The key was that these areas could not be defended. Once a large number of white people entered, they would become bandits, and there would be no peace in the country.

Regardless of the time chosen, King Zhao is still in Crimea, and the elites of the four-nation coalition are all in Crimea.

When the Shang Kingdom started to move up and down, 60 million white people would suffer.

But the Shang State did not want to kill them, but to drive them abroad. Anyway, there were 60 million foreigners, and Zhu Youquai couldn't be gentle, so he simply sent them abroad to harm other countries.

At the same time, he issued an imperial edict in the name of the Eastern European emperor, requiring all countries in Europe and Asia to issue a massacre order.

This will disgust all countries to death.

The King of Lu, Zhu Youjin, smashed all his favorite porcelain bottles: "Damn bastard, it's me, the State of Lu, who is being tricked!"

The State of Lu is the only Eastern European country that has not massacred its indigenous people.

Because the state of Lu is short of people.

The white population of Lu State is equal to the Han population. Once the white people rebel, Lu State will be gone.

As the leader of Eastern Europe, Shang State first issued an order to massacre Bai Bai, and then drove the white people to various countries. The key is that the four countries had just formed a coalition and massacred the anti-government forces in Crimea. Everyone in the world knew that the yellow mud would fall off the crotch. .

Sure enough, there is a White Russian rebellion in the Lu State. If Zhu Youping does not suppress it, the rebellion will get bigger and bigger. If he suppresses it, wouldn't he admit that he wants to massacre the natives?
The four countries invaded the territory of Shang State, and retribution came.

The usurped territory did not have time to digest, but the white people in the country were rebelling.

This is because Zhu Jianji's incomplete purge during the occupation led to today's disaster.

Countries in Eastern Europe fell into chaos.

The Shang Kingdom was not doing well either. There was frequent violence, smashing and looting in the country. Those white people knew they were going to die, so they definitely wanted to make a fuss and die spectacularly, but the daily life of the people was ruined.

However, Zhu Youqi believed that this was a good opportunity to sort out the internal affairs of the business.

At least half of the 60 million white people are gone, and the rest are hiding like rats, fomenting rebellion everywhere.

He could use the name of Purging to control the military power and further control the imperial power, and the Shang Kingdom was also in his hands.

Gu Dingchen was sent to be his chief assistant to help him sort out the internal affairs of the business.

The most unlucky was the Sui State.

The Sui Dynasty was originally the overlord, but this time it took the opportunity to tear up the established rules, attack the small vassal states, and annexed a large amount of the territory of the Shang State. The territory that was taken in was not laughed at, but was fed a mouthful of shit.

There were not many natives in the Sui Dynasty, but they occupied the territory of the Cossack Khanate and the Astrakhan Khanate. The Shang Kingdom did not fully occupy these areas, so naturally they were not very lenient. There were about millions of white natives living here. Most people don’t speak Chinese very well.

In order to expand rapidly, Zhu Jianxi treated these people gently.

As a result, Zhu Youquan turned an army against him and he vomited blood.

Ten million white people emerged in the Sui Kingdom, and these white people began to cause chaos in the entire Sui Dynasty, forcing the Sui Dynasty to suppress the white people.

Zhao and Wei were not much better.

Eastern Europe is in chaos.

However, Zhu Youquan took advantage of the chaos to organize the court and gradually took control of the imperial power. This is the grandson trained by the old emperor himself. Isn't he powerful?
In the past, Zhu Youping looked down on Zhu Youquan, but after this battle, he surrendered.

After all, in Zhu Youqi's eyes, these areas belonged to the territories of the Shang Kingdom and had nothing to do with him. He didn't care how many people died or how much the economy declined.

Even if it is not a hegemonic country.

He can also cry to the court, and the court will naturally compensate for all losses.

Don't forget, he is the one who should be the emperor. Zhu Jianji will always owe him a favor. If Zhu Youji is willing to pay it back with money, Zhu Jianji will probably die of joy.

Eastern Europe is in chaos.

Western Europe is watching the excitement. Zhu Youtang is watching the excitement in Eastern Europe, annexing the Balkan Peninsula, and teasing France, Germany and Germany.

When he saw Zhu Youquan's move, he exclaimed: "He is worthy of being a grandson trained by the emperor himself. Most people do not have this kind of political insight."

By muddying the water, he can fish.

In the sixty-sixth year of Jingtai, the Kingdom of Chu in Western Europe was officially renamed Dayuan Kingdom, and the king of Chu, Zhu Youtang, also became King Dayuan.

As the dynasty with the largest territory in history, Dayuan, Mongolia has ruled the world for hundreds of years. The name of Dayuan has special meaning for any monarch.

Zhu Youtang has been begging for this title for a long time.

Not only him, but also the clan kings wanted to get this title.

The old emperor was willing to give him this title, which showed that he was optimistic about Zhu Youtang and the prospects of the old Chu country, so he changed Chu to Yuan.

From today onwards, the State of Chu has officially been renamed Dayuan.

The national flag, national emblem, national anthem, military flags, and military medals all need to be changed, as well as all agreements signed with various countries.

The Great Yuan still lacks a territory, that is Greece!

The Yuan Dynasty occupied the Adriatic Sea and touched the Aegean Sea, expanding its territory to the extreme. As long as it takes Greece, the Great Yuan Dynasty will be successful.

However, the old emperor was not willing to give Greece to him.

The main reason was that Da Yuan did not contribute much in the Ming'ao War, which made Da Ming dissatisfied.

The third Ming'ao War is about to begin again.

The old emperor personally promulgated an imperial decree. In the Third Mingao War, the vassal state with the greatest military exploits had the right to dominate Greece.

At the same time, the old emperor also issued an imperial edict to break up the vassal states of the European Union and gain control of Iceland and Greenland.

The war in Western Europe also raged.

When Zhu Youquan contacted Germany, the new German emperor was worried about his own territory. Zhao State was too strong and continued to annex the entire Poland.

This time, the State of Zhao was plotted by the State of Shang. Germany sent tens of thousands of spies to the State of Zhao to stir up unrest among the white people in the State of Zhao. Germany needed time to breathe.

Germany also sent 10,000 troops to the Ming Dynasty in order to please the Ming Dynasty.

The new Kaiser was very aware of current affairs and wanted to recognize the Ming Dynasty as his suzerain state.

But he was rejected by Zhu Jianji.

Having returned from Eastern Europe, he knows best the shamelessness of Western European countries. These people have no spirit of contract at all, they are just bandits.

The way to deal with a robber is to be worse than the robber.

Therefore, Zhu Jianjian used soldiers from Germany, France, and the Czech Republic, but did not benefit the three countries. Moreover, these soldiers from the Three Kingdoms were not going to be released. They would be disposed of after they were used up. The mines were short of people.

The Kaiser still had to face the Qi State above him.

Qi occupies northern Poland, the islands in the Baltic Sea, Estonia and Finland, and the frozen soil east of Finland, all of which are Qi's territory.

The state of Qi seems to have a large territory, but in fact the habitable territory is very small.

The Qi State did not seize the territory of the Shang State, because the Qi State's homeland was threatened by the Vikings at any time, and the Qi State had no time to go west.

Besides, Qi King Zhu Youchan knew one thing very well. What he eats now may not be able to be digested. At this time, the same clan is fighting against each other, and the only ones who are cheaper are these alien races.

As the second son of Zhu Jianji, Zhu Youchan is not as reckless as the third son, King Zhao. He is a wise general and he knows how to judge the situation.

Therefore, while the four countries carved up the merchant kingdom, he was responsible for preventing and containing Germany.

How can Germany dare to be careful? Its own country is still in trouble.

In recent years, Germany has been attacked by Zhao and Qi. Although Cai in the south has not invaded German territory, it has deployed troops on the border to contain Germany's development.

Along with Germany, France and other European countries, they became the dumping ground for Ming Dynasty products.

In the hearts of all Germans, the Ming Dynasty has been regarded as a god. The biggest wish of many people is to work in the Ming Dynasty. Going to the Ming Dynasty to dig out shit is better than having enough food at home.

However, the European Union strictly restricts exit.

Still can't control people's hearts.

According to statistics, more than 3 people escape from Germany every year and flee to Ming Dynasty to work at the lowest level.

As we all know, one day’s income in Daming is enough to earn one month in Germany.

The garbage thrown out by Ming people is better than what they eat, and the dogs raised by Ming people are better fed than their emperor.

This is what all Europeans resonate with.

Everyone thinks this way, so every year there is an exodus of Europeans to Ming Dynasty to work in low-end jobs.

European women are proud to be married to Ming people, proud to have Han ancestry, and proud to be related to Ming people.

Even, I would rather go to Ming Dynasty to work as a mailer than live in Europe.

The little Kaiser always said that people's hearts are broken, their hearts are corrupted.

But he was reading the scriptures.

Not only can he speak German, he is also proficient in Chinese. He has seven Chinese teachers and two Jinshi. They are the talents he hired with high salaries.

He also hopes that Germany will become as powerful as the Ming Dynasty.
