Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 497
"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: On April [-]th of the second year of Taizheng, Zhu Changning, the king of the sun and moon, died at home, and his three sons were all named kings. They were called the king of Linhai, the king of Jingjiang, and the king of Hainan.Because the sun and moon king made great achievements in the country, the emperor thought of his flesh and blood, and the third son was crowned king even though he was still in his infancy.

In the following year, Zhu Changning's son died naturally, and the other two sons, like other vassal kings, lived in Hainan for generations.

In May of the second year of Taizheng, Zhu Changyuan promulgated the "Constitution", appointing cabinet members to represent all government affairs in the country, ordering the Supervisory Yuan to monitor the administration of officials, and the world is peaceful.

At the same time, in the spring of May, vigorous imperial examinations began across the country.

This imperial examination, the official gave a lot of publicity, not only the content of the exam has changed slightly, from the stereotyped essay to the three subjects of mathematics, literature, and basic knowledge of science and technology, and the results are judged by the total score.

At the same time, Zhu Changyuan also reported a good news to scholars all over the world, that is: enrollment expansion.

In the past, there were only more than 200 students and no more than 300 students enrolled in the imperial examination every year, but this time, Zhu Changyuan drew up a grand plan to recruit 1 people in one go.

These 1 people will not only fill the vacancies of grassroots officials in the country, but also fill places such as the Indochina Peninsula, Fusang, Taiwan, and Northeast Siberia.

Just these 1 people are more than 50 times more than usual, but it is far from enough for Zhu Changyuan and his newly expanded territory.

His plan is that in the future, when he occupies the entire land on the earth, the Chinese Empire will maintain the number of 1 people enrolled every year, not only to fill official positions, but also to arrange these people to places where they are needed, such as large-scale Hydropower and wind power companies, such as oil refining companies, such as fertilizer plants.

These positions are more important than local officials.

Throughout the month of May, good things followed one after another.

First, the canonization ceremony of the emperor's grandson was held again, and it was even grander than the first time. This time, it was not only for the canonization of the emperor's grandson, but also to celebrate Zhu Cihong who had just been discharged from the hospital and had fully recovered.

Then, the emperor's grandson selected a concubine, and after two months of busy work, a beautiful woman was selected from the people, who came from Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province like Zhang Yan.

At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong finally gained a firm foothold in India with the strong support of Zhu Changyuan after going through a difficult initial stage. Using ancient Chinese wisdom in warfare, the Mughal Empire could not take care of itself, and the entire northern part of India fell into the Ming Dynasty. hands of the dynasty.

Zhu Changyuan gave Zhang Xianzhong a death order, telling him to stay put and not try to attack south again. Moreover, he delineated a [-]-kilometer fertile land on the spot and gave it to Zhang Xianzhong's family as his private land for generations. There is only financial power in the territory, but no administrative power.

Zheng Chenggong led the fleet and landed on the Indian mainland at the end of May of the second year of the Ming Dynasty. He led thousands of loyal warriors to start bloodbathing South India. As expected, the entire India could be taken within ten months.

At the beginning of June, Li Zicheng destroyed the Gushi Khanate, but its strength was almost exhausted, and it was basically unable to continue westward.

At this time, Zhu Changyuan decisively extended a helping hand and sent [-] loyal warriors to the Yarkand Khanate.

In mid-June, Mongolia sent envoys to express their willingness to surrender to the Ming Empire and obey Zhu Changyuan's orders.

Zhu Changyuan made a decisive decision and moved thousands of Mongolian princes and nobles to the capital. The whole Mongolia fell into the territory of the Ming Empire. Surrender, how did you become a tribute to the country, what is going on?

No need to ask, it was the officials of Ming Dynasty who partnered with the nobles of Mongolia to trick him!

In July, Zangba Khan was included in the territory of China. So far, the area of ​​the entire Ming Empire has surpassed all previous dynasties, becoming the largest on earth.The south side occupies the entire Indochina Peninsula, the country extends to the south of the equator, and the back side covers the entire Siberia, until the Arctic Ocean further north of the North Sea.

To the east, it crosses many great seas, covering the original Fusang, North Korea.

The territory to the west has been incorporated into India, Gu Shihan, and Yarkand, and it lives next to the Kazakh Khanate in the west.

In mid-July, another expeditionary force called to report: the Bedouins on the Arabian Peninsula had been conquered, and the sea of ​​oil in the Golden Desert was now owned by China.

At this moment, there are basically only three major powers in the entire world that exist at the same time as Ming Dynasty. They are: the Ottoman Empire surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, covering Asia, Africa and Europe, the Tsarist Russia living next to Greater China, and the European powers. .

In just two years, the Ming Empire stood in the east of the world, and became a big country that rose out of nowhere.

In August, Luo Rucai was enfeoffed as King of Lusong and Hong Chengchou as Marquis of Jinghai. He went to Beijing to report on his duties and joined the cabinet!
At the same time, in August of the second year of Taizheng, Zhu Changyuan received another thing that reassured him, that is, the thermal power station in Jinzhou, Liaodong was completed and put into trial operation, and stable power generation began.

This incident made Zhu Changyuan happy!Immediately divide the Jinzhou area as China's exclusive economic zone.

Jinzhou thermal power plant is the first thermal power plant built by Zhu Changyuan. Before he ascended the throne, even before Huang Taiji died, he started planning. Now it has been completed, and the speed is extremely fast.

It was built together with the Jinzhou Power Plant, and there is also a large fertilizer production plant, steel plant, and machinery plant nearby!

As a result, Jinzhou Power Station was powered on, and other factories can also operate normally.

It's just that the Jinzhou Petroleum Processing Plant hasn't been built yet.

At this time, Zhu Changyuan had almost left all the internal affairs to the ministers, and he only held the command of foreign expeditions and loyal warriors.

The entire state machinery is functioning normally, and there is nothing wrong with it. There are even many things that are much more careful than when Zhu Changyuan was in power. Of course, Zhu Changyuan has grasped the direction of the entire machine, which is not wrong.

In September, I took the empress and the emperor's grandson with me by plane and flew from the capital to the southernmost city in India, where I had some fun with the empress and the empress.

Seeing a high mountain by the sea in the south of India, with a cliff standing thousands of feet high on the side facing the sea, Zhu Changyuan was so impressed that he had someone tear off the dead vines on it, and then polished it into a smooth stone surface.

After the entire cliff was leveled, he was lucky, and then used his finger as a sword to leave seven big characters that shocked the ancient and modern on the huge cliff: "Wherever the sword and horse go, there are Han soil!"

After Zhu Changyuan left, the whole of India began a vigorous land reform movement.

As long as they are rich peasants or landlords, they will all be overthrown, and as long as they are poor, they will all be given land.All the kings and major nobles of the former Mughal Empire, or several small countries around them, were transferred back to Beijing, and the kings entered the Hundred Gardens, and the nobles were either exiled or executed.

As a result, there was no voice of resistance in the whole of India!

Zheng Chenggong traveled west from India.Leading 2 people set foot on the Mediterranean circle, and entered a new round of war with the Ottoman Empire.

And Zhu Changyuan was not idle, he put his queen and grandson in the capital, and took many loyal warriors to Europe alone, because he remembered that there was still one thing that had not been completed until now.

Last year, they won a big victory in Taiwan and revived the people of Spain and the Netherlands. Later, when the kingdoms of all nations came to the Ming Dynasty, the Spanish and Dutch even came out to ask for it. Zhu Changyuan sent people to Europe to talk to King Philip IV of Spain about ceding land for compensation The Spanish royal family has not yet agreed to the matter.

That's embarrassing, if you don't agree, I'll have to pick it up myself.

As early as the whole year, he ran the fleet and led a team to Europe and Spain to negotiate with the Dutch officials. Unfortunately, Philip IV thought his country was big and powerful, so he didn't Don't pay too much attention to the negotiating envoys from Eastern China.

It is impossible to pay some money to redeem the dozen or so Spaniards, and it is even more nonsense to cede the land!

Of course, this was Philip IV's idea.

Zhu Changyuan went to Spain and found his own troops. They didn't do too badly.

After more than a year of hard work, they have opened up territory in Spain and at least occupied a few small islands near the sea in southern Spain. There is still no problem in fighting Spain with the fleet in hand.

It is very difficult to penetrate further into the interior of Spain.

When Zhu Changyuan came, the result was different. He summoned the [-] loyal warriors who came with him, released them on the island, and said to Polu: "You can just guard the island. Let's see how I deal with Philip. This old thing of the fourth generation!"

Leading 2 people, landed from the south of Spain, captured Jerez with three attacks, five divisions, and two. When they wanted to continue attacking other cities, they felt that this method was too slow for the Spanish royal family to surrender. Wan Dajun flew to Madrid, and then released [-] loyal warriors to the outskirts of Madrid, and then surrounded Madrid.

At this time, Philip IV was completely panicked and mobilized the soldiers guarding Madrid to attack, but when he saw that Zhu Changyuan's loyal and brave warriors could kill a few with a single slap, he despaired.

Under the crushing force of absolute power, Philip IV's defense could not last even half an hour.

Half an hour later, the entire Spanish royal family was under control.

Zhu Changyuan came to Philip IV in person, and asked him with a sneer: "Now, have you thought about how to compensate for the loss of my invasion of Greater China?"

Philip IV knelt in front of Zhu Changyuan tremblingly, and humbly said: "Think it over, I have fully thought it over, as long as Your Excellency lets me go, I will agree to all the conditions you put forward before!"

Zhu Changyuan smiled and said: "It's late, I raised the conditions last year. Since I have invaded your country this year, the conditions last year will change."

"How did it change?" Philip IV asked.

Zhu Changyuan smiled mischievously, and said, "It's very simple, you step down, and I'll be the king of Spain!"
