Emperor Zhu smiled: "This time, I just want to see whether the destiny lies with me or with the so-called rural gentry and wealthy businessmen."

When Emperor Zhu finished speaking, Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming couldn't help but look at each other. Both sides saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

Whose destiny is it?

If we look at the development history of Zhongyuan Tangkou, it is impossible for anyone to say that the emperor has the destiny of destiny, because although the emperor has mastered the imperial power, the imperial power cannot be extended to the countryside. The emperor's rule of the country cannot be circumvented in any case.

Open up the chain of interests from the imperial court to local officials and then to the rural gentry.

But it was Emperor Zhu who wanted to test who the destiny was, and Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming felt that the destiny should be Emperor Zhu.

The imperial court and local officials?

As long as Emperor Zhu is willing, he can bypass any chief envoy, government, or state at any time and issue orders directly to the county. Even if all the magistrates and magistrates in the Ming Dynasty side with the rural sages and gentry, Emperor Zhu can also directly issue orders to the county.

Bypassing the county magistrate, the order was issued directly to the township peasant association or even the village peasant association.

Country sage?

The interests of the fifty million ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty were originally opposed to the interests of the rural sages and gentry. It would be better if there was no backbone like Emperor Zhu to stand up for them, but once there was someone like Emperor Zhu

The backbone of my son...

When Hu Wenhong and Zhang Xijin made such a big splash, didn't someone from the Chenjiazhuang Peasant Association's Guards come forward to report? Moreover, the Peasants' Association Guards went directly to the Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office to report, without passing through the county government office.

He also did not go through the Yushi Yamen, which shows that in the hearts of the people, the government may not be trustworthy, and the Yushi may not be trustworthy, but Emperor Zhu is trustworthy.

There is an old saying in the Central Plains: Heaven sees itself and the people see it, Heaven hears itself and the people listen, the public opinion is the will of God, and the people's heart is the heart of heaven.

If the common people side with Emperor Zhu, whose destiny is it?

Before there is a particularly big turmoil, and on the premise that the people's stable lives are not greatly affected, destiny will only be on Emperor Zhu's side!

But again, the truth is this, but this is not necessarily the case.

For example, you, Emperor Zhu, plan to attack the officials, gentry, wealthy businessmen, and seek benefits for the fifty million ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty. The fifty million people support you. Is there anything wrong with this?

Nothing wrong at all!

But will those government officials just surrender and be captured? Will those rural gentry and wealthy businessmen sit back and wait for death willingly?

Obviously impossible!

There is great terror between life and death, and those officials, gentry, gentry, and wealthy businessmen are all used to living a good life, so how can they be willing to die?

As long as they are unwilling, they will resist, and their resistance will inevitably bring a certain degree of turmoil to the Ming Dynasty.

This has nothing to do with who has destiny, but has to do with life and death.

After much deliberation, Zeng Cheng finally decided to persuade Emperor Zhu again: "Your Majesty, I know that destiny is yours, and I also know that the so-called rural sages, gentry, and wealthy businessmen have done too much, but

...But now, after all, we are in a time of great strife. It is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat.”

"Taking a closer look, the Japanese country just a stone's throw away can be said to harbor evil intentions. Looking further afield, the Stupid Eagle and countless countries in Europe are also thinking about catching up with the Ming Dynasty all the time. In addition, the Ottomans are using troops."

"..."

Zeng Cheng persuaded him earnestly, but Emperor Zhu didn't hear a word of it.

In fact, Emperor Zhu knew very well in his heart that the dwarfs of the Japanese country would definitely be evil, and the countries of Silly Eagle and Europa would definitely not be willing to serve as the Ming Dynasty's younger brother. If there is a chance to overtake the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that any country will not be able to overtake the Ming Dynasty.

Will not let go easily.

Even if the interests of France were too closely tied to the interests of the Ming Dynasty, Louis XVI, who was known as the most powerful Ming Dynasty leader, would never let go of any opportunity to overtake the Ming Dynasty.

However, Emperor Zhu didn't care very much - no matter how much technology develops, there is always a process of accumulation and accumulation. Judging from the current technological level of Xiao Poqiu, even the accumulation of thick and thin is not enough.

The process has not been completed yet, let alone whether the hair is thin or not.

Do those countries in Silly Thieving Eagle and Europa want to overtake the Ming Dynasty?

Let’s think about how to tie it up first!

What's more, the countries of Silly Thief Eagle and Europa may not have the leisure time to overtake the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhu pulled out a secret report from his desk and handed it to Zeng Cheng with a smile: "Zeng Qing might as well take a look at this first."

Zeng Cheng took the information from Emperor Zhu in confusion, only looked back and forth for a few times and then fell into silence.

A group of rebels appeared in the house of the silly thief Eagle, and a group of rebels appeared in the house of the Sand Goose. Even in England and the European countries of the Habsburg family, a group of rebels also appeared.

These guys, who are not sure whether they are rebels or rebels, sang "There has never been a savior", and each one shouted that they wanted to eliminate the moths, to make their country like the Ming Dynasty, and to make their country more prosperous.

The common people lived the same good life as the people of the Ming Dynasty, and then they rebelled with swords and grass.

If there are rebellious rebels in our own country, such as Silly Eagle, Sand Goose and other countries in Europe, of course we must deal with those rebels first. After all, the threat of Ming Dynasty is outside, and the threat of those rebels is included. We can’t let the threat of Ming Dynasty be ignored.

If the Ming Dynasty sucks the blood of those rebels, they may lose their heads. The kings, commanders, nobles, and the bourgeoisie can clearly distinguish which is more serious.

Therefore, even if Emperor Zhu made a big move this time and gave Silly Thief Eagle and Sand Goose the opportunity to overtake the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to seize it.

If you look at it from another angle, it means that Silly Thief Eagle and Sand Goose have nothing to do but take care of themselves. This is a great opportunity for Emperor Zhu to solve certain problems!

Or there is another possibility - if Emperor Zhu makes a big noise, will there be a few fools who think that the Ming Dynasty is about to collapse? Will someone think that now is the best time to attack the Ming Dynasty? If they really

Came to attack the Ming Dynasty...

Think about how Jianyi became a climate during the Tianqi and Chongzhen years? If other countries came to the Ming Dynasty, what would the people and scholars of the Ming Dynasty think?

Thinking of this, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, successfully making a huge contribution to climate warming.

After another long silence, Zeng Cheng simply accepted his fate and said, "My lord, I will fully cooperate with your Majesty's plan."

Emperor Zhu smiled and nodded, and then ordered Zhang Dequan: "Send out the article I wrote before. Directly use telegraph and printing plants in various places to have them print it directly and send it to the people for free.

.”

…

Although the telegraph developed by the Royal Academy is a bit simple and even crude, no matter how simple and crude the telegraph system is, it is an out-and-out advanced black technology for the current Ming Dynasty and the whole world.

If we look purely at information transmission, once the simple and rudimentary telegraph system is used systematically, its information transmission speed and information transmission breadth will be enough to replace the traditional fast horse relay, carrier pigeon transmission and other various methods.

Various means of communication.

The biggest advantage of this thing is that it is fast, even faster than the speed of beacon smoke - the beacon smoke on the Great Wall will cost you one or two no matter what.

When Mitsukaku Kihito and Kanmiya Ehito were suffering from headaches because of Inukai Wenhong and Nojiri Nishikin, Tokugawa Iesai and everyone in the shogunate were also worried because of Inukai Wenhong and Nojiri Nishikin.

Or it can be said this way: Inukai Wenhong and Nojiri Nishijin were just dogs in front of the Ming merchants, and those Ming merchants were just fat pigs raised in front of the Ming court?

When you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner, but when you kill a pig, you don’t have to look at the owner?

Don't be stupid, killing a pig is a bigger sin!

Tokugawa Jiaqi knew very well that if he dared to touch those Ming merchants today, the Ming garrison in Japan would dare to overthrow the entire shogunate to avenge those "pig" tomorrow.

By that time, maybe the heads of myself and those of Guangge Jianren and others will be placed on the Jingguan Temple to dry.

When he thought of the terrifying existence of Jingguan, Tokugawa Jiaqi couldn't help but sigh: "Ambassador Chen, Ambassador Chen, you have given me a big problem!"

Seeing that with the cooperation of those feudal lords and daimyo, leprosy could be blocked immediately, but Inukai Wenhong and Nojiri Nishijin jumped out again!

As the saying goes, the butt determines the head.

But Tokugawa Ieki was no longer satisfied with just being a shogun, but had set his sights on the throne of the Japanese king.

For Tokugawa Ieki, who wanted and felt that he was about to become the king of Japan, Watanabe Eemon's words are worth thinking about.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was able to follow the rules and regulations, and the rise and fall continued. Don't we, the Tokugawa family, really want to truly control the Japanese country and become the master of the Japanese country under one person and above tens of thousands of people?

Thinking of this, Tokugawa Jiaqi asked in a deep voice: "Watanabe-kun, what do you mean by this?"

After hearing these three words, Watanabe-kun, Watanabeemon's still somewhat anxious mood suddenly stabilized.

The bet was won!

Suppressing his excitement, Watanabe Eemon replied: "Your Excellency, the Shogun, is also a well-educated poet. So, Your Excellency, the Shogun, must know the history of Nakahara-dōpin."

Therefore, a large number of people gathered outside the Yongcheng County Yamen to watch the excitement, which was even more lively than the trial scene in the Qing Dynasty drama.

Over time, the people of the Ming Dynasty were no longer afraid of officials, and they were even eager to go to the county government office to watch the excitement.

The common people especially like to watch the officials interrogate the evil gentry.

This made the people watching very curious.

What an eye-opener!

And Zhu Jinsong did not disappoint these people.

This horse riding is different from what is written in the play!

Gao Da hurriedly lowered his body and bowed: "Your Majesty, have mercy, the common people are really unjust!"

Her tall and tight body lay lower.

After reading it, Ke Zhiming sealed the letter and sent it back to the desk in front of Zhu Jinsong again.

Zhu Jinsong said: "Come on, explain to me what's going on with this letter?"

As Xu Yaozong started to take action, the people watching outside the lobby also became excited and shouted: "Beat him to death! Beat him to death!"
