Chapter 339 The country is too small, and the heart is too big

With the pro-conquest of the Ming Emperor, the suzerain, the morale in Seoul can be described as extremely low, just like a father beating his son, almost no son can resist. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Zhu Youxiao's personal expedition to North Korea also has the same effect, which can be seen from the battle situation along the way.

The same is true of Seoul today, both the Westerners and the Daebuk faction are full of complaints against Gwanghae-kun, believing that it is his neutral foreign policy that is causing the trouble, but there are no other members of the Lee clan who can inherit the throne and be stable, if Lee Brown appears, needless to say, Gwanghae-jun will be forced to abdicate.

As a generation of Confucian ministers in North Korea, Choi Mingji is still very prestigious, and through his tentacles, Li Brown has come into contact with a lot, Western Party officials, and the training general at this time, Li Xingli.

Needless to say, when Li Brown appeared in front of these people, everything spoke for itself, and soon, with the help of Li Xingli, the Westerners Party launched a coup d'Γ©tat.

That night, the entire Seoul was brightly lit, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle, Li Brown took control of the situation in Seoul and imprisoned Gwanghae-jun and his henchmen Li Erzhan, Park Sung-jong and others.

The next day, it was bright and bright.

In the imperial palace of Seoul, Choi Myeong-gil was teaching Li Brown and the others how to deal with Emperor Ming, "Maharaja, although you have taken over Seoul at this time, you still need Emperor Ming's adult and canonization to become the king of Joseon." ”

"Wait until you see Queen Ming, you will cry that you are incompetent, let Xiao Xiao steal the throne, and do something rebellious, and then you will use this as an excuse to present the yellow book of household registration, saying that it is required to be attached. This is the first step, and it is also the most important step, only by testing out the true intentions of the Ming Emperor, can we proceed to the next step. ”

Cui Mingji said conclusively, but between the words, his eyes flickered a little, but because he lowered his head, Li Brown didn't notice it.

"Is this really going to happen, sir?" Li Brown felt a little apprehensive in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong, but at this time, his mind was all excited by the matter of bringing down Guanghaijun, and he only thought that it was his fear of Emperor Ming.

"Yes, Maharaja, this step is necessary, don't forget what I told you last night, Emperor Ming has no idea about the land of Korea, just because the Li family is not respectful, so he wants to change people." Cui Mingji said with relief.

"Oh, okay." After last night's incident, Li Brown finally had some trust in Cui Mingji, and did not think about it anymore, but according to the requirements, he prepared various things, wrote the will attached to the request, and went out to ask to see Emperor Ming.

Behind him, there are various ministers, and Cui Mingji is also among them, but he who has always held Zhizhu suddenly has a little strange look in his eyes at this time.

"Patriarch Yangming is above, bless your disciples to achieve great achievements like yours." Following Li Brown, Cui Mingji was secretly praying in his heart.

Actually, there is one thing that Cui Mingji didn't say, it is attached, it is not essential, and it is necessary to test the tricks of the Ming Emperor. If you want the emperor to change his mind, the New Year's coin is enough. As long as there are enough coins, Emperor Ming will definitely consider whether it is necessary to leave the Li family.

As for whether the Ming Emperor chose the king of Joseon from his domestic clan relatives or from the local Joseon family, it does not matter. The reason why he explained so much was that he just wanted to create a false impression for Li Brown and get him to agree to use the trick of attaching.

North Korea is too small and too small to realize his ambitions at all, and even if he Choi Mingji has great ability, he can't use it. As a descendant of the Yangming School, he has made great achievements since he looked at his ancestors, but North Korea is not a suitable place.

Thinking of this, Cui Mingji was a little distracted, and his body was just instinctively walking towards the outside of the city behind Li Brown.

Soon, out of the city gate, I saw a continuous barracks, and at this time, the barracks were already a shocking shout, all kinds of honors are my life's bloody shouts, by these bloody soldiers, that kind of fierce momentum, listening to Li Brown and other North Korean people numb, sweat hair burst, goosebumps are up.

What a group of soldiers.

When they saw the drill of the musketeers, their hearts were even more cold and shocked, such an army, let alone seen it, they were very funny and almost never heard of it, how could people be so neat and unhesitating.

Except for Li Brown, who was slightly better, including Cui Mingji, everyone was shocked all the way, with a long mouth, watching the training ground walk.

When they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, everyone was extremely respectful and sincerely asked to see the emperor.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at a piece of information, the thing was nothing else, it was the information and improvement suggestions after Shen Yourong's navigation test.

Zhu Youxiao didn't understand the technical terms used in shipbuilding, but Shen Yourong really didn't agree with the idea of changing the two-deck to the three-deck.

Zhu Youxiao remembered that in this era, there were battleships with multiple decks, but those were not the main force, and no matter how many decks there were, they were not used for nothing. The opening of the cannon window on the lowest floor is generally about half a meter above the waterline, and at such a distance, as long as the wind and waves are stronger, then the sea water will pour in, and it cannot be opened at all.

In this way, this layer of artillery was discarded, and often, the heavy guns of the battleships were below. Therefore, among the main fleets of various countries, the most economical is still the double-deck battleship. The number of cannons is also between seventy-five and one hundred.

Its combat effectiveness is about the same as the number of guns of a cruiser.

"I guess I haven't verified the harm of multiple decks." Looking at this improvement suggestion, Zhu Youxiao could almost come up with the reason for Shen Yourong's improvement, and he had never suffered the loss of water entering the cannon window.

"It's quite smart, I know that if I verify it again, let Tianjin Shipyard stop work and not blindly produce. Anyway, three floors are three floors, and now the ship is a little cramped if it is smaller, but if you use a large ship, the double deck is not enough. Unexpectedly, Zhu Youxiao thought of the treasure ship being built.

If these warships are upgrading and increasing in size, Shen Yourong's design will be about the same. However, these are at least the end of next year, and this year, let's do it first.

Zhu Youxiao remembered that the largest sail battleship in history seemed to have nearly 5,000 tons, which was converted into the measurement of the Ming ship, that is, almost tens of thousands of materials, such a wooden ship was really a monster, but this kind of ship was not suitable at all, and the battleship expanded to 5,000 to 6,000 materials, no matter how big it was, it would be bulky and unusable, and its seaworthiness would decline

"Then three layers, for the sake of future design, it's just that now this cannon port should be raised a little higher, at least to one meter. Then the number of battleships and cruisers was to increase, and the number of destroyers and frigates was to decrease. Zhu Youxiao thought about this, so he made his own instructions.

The Spaniards have come to Shanghai, and there will definitely be no less warfare at sea in the future, so the imperial navy must be formed as soon as possible, even if the tactical literacy of the seafarers is not good, but the weapons and equipment must keep up.

Shen Yourong's method of letting Tianjin Shipyard temporarily suspend work was right, but it was not suitable for this time. At this time, the most important thing to do is to produce with all our strength and form an army as soon as possible.

"It seems that we have to go back to China as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with government affairs if we stay outside." After giving instructions and putting down the pen, Principal Zhu You sighed, "Why don't those guys rebel, I have left the Jingshi, and even left the realm of the Ming Dynasty, what are you hesitating about, rebel quickly." ”

Speaking of rebellion, at this time, there are really people in Daming who are discussing these things.

Shandong Lu Wangfu, the contemporary Lu Wangquan and a gray-bearded old man discussed this matter, and in the whole room, except for the two of them, there was no one else.

Looking at the person in front of him, Zhu Shouhong, the king of Lu, looked at the person in front of him and smiled, he was the eighth king of Lu, and the previous king of Lu had no children after his death, so he adopted the method of brother to brother and brother, so that he became the king of Lu.

The laughter made the old man a little embarrassed, and the old man's eyes glared at each other vigorously before he stopped the other party's ridicule.

"You old man, it's not appropriate to be a good Yan Shenggong, what are you doing here to find me." King Lu Zhu Shouhong asked interestingly.

Kong Yinzhi, the sixty-fourth generation of Yan Shenggong, blushed, and some periods of Ai Ai, finally made up his mind and said shamelessly, "What else can I do, it's not for this Jun Tian thing." ”

Since the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty and the southern crossing of Zhao Gou, the inheritance of the title of the Holy Duke of Yan has begun to be chaotic. Zhao Gou Nandu, at that time, Yan Shenggong took all his descendants to the south and became a southern sect, and the side branch of a stick left in Qufu, Shandong was supported by the Jin people and canonized another.

Later, the Jin people were beaten by the Mongols and abandoned Shandong and went to Bianjing, and the Confucian family who stayed in Shandong was pulled out by Kublai Khan and canonized a Yan Shenggong.

Therefore, in a certain period of time, on the land of the Central Plains, there were three Yan Shenggong. Later, the Yuan Dynasty unified the world, and there was only one Yan Shenggong, all of which belonged to the Northern Sect. The orthodoxy of Nanzong automatically gave up this title.

And those people in the Northern Sect are not qualified to enter the genealogy of Confucius, so from a legal point of view, the branch of Qufu in Shandong is not orthodox. Moreover, with the chaos of the world, Shandong is the land of four wars, and the Confucian family in Qufu has suffered many disasters, and the inheritance here has long been gone.

Except for the name of Confucius, there is no other difference. and the Xu family of Songjiang Mansion who came out of Xu Jie, this Qufu Kong family will not do anything good, bully men and women, and annex land, that is not too cool.

It's just that all this has changed a little with Zhu Youxiao's accession to the throne. Not to mention the salt works, trade routes, and Cao Yun, just the policy of equalizing the land that is being implemented now almost cost the Kong family's life.

The Kong family's land is not less than that of the Xu family, and if this is divided, isn't there nothing! Therefore, seeing that the fields in Hebei Province next door were in full swing, the contemporary Yan Shenggong couldn't sit still, and secretly found King Lu in Shandong, wanting to sum up.

"Divide the land, what does it have to do with me." King Lu said nonchalantly. He has a different identity, and he really doesn't really care about that. As the king of Fan, if there is no land, the court always has to provide for them.

"It's none of your business, maybe that's fine." Kong Yinzhi said in a weird way.

"What do you mean by that?" King Lu asked, he was still very concerned about his rich life.

"Don't you read the newspaper? Imperial Daily, Wei Guogong has handed over his title, before Dingguo Gong rebelled again, Xu Da's lineage can be said to be in decline, after that, all kinds of founding nobles, Jing Nan nobles, have handed over their own titles, the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the little emperor's in-laws, only the Yunnan Mu family still retains this title. ”

The news that Kong Yinzhi said surprised King Lu, who had been closed and enjoyed in the fiefdom. King Fanwang of the Ming Dynasty pursued a pig-raising policy, as long as you don't go out of the city and don't make friends with ministers, whatever you do. Of course, you can't go too far, if you cause public anger, the emperor will not protect you.

However, occasionally robbing a people's girl and occupying a few acres of land or something, but no one is in charge. In this kind of carefree life, all kinds of perverted kings have been cultivated, they almost don't ask about the world, and eat, drink and have fun all day long.

Therefore, although the things that Kong Yinzhi said began to happen one after another after Zhu Youxiao came out of the plug, King Lu did not hear any rumors.

"This ......." King Lu was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.

"Xungui is finished, the next thing should be the king, you occupy so much land, the emperor will definitely not let you go, when there is no land, and there is no title, I am afraid that you will have a hard time this day." Kong Yinzhi said with a sneer.

Not to mention, it could happen.

"What then?" King Lu was a little lost at this time, and grabbed Kong Yinzhi's hand and asked eagerly.

Kong Yinzhi twitched, but he didn't twitch, so forget it, he said with a smile, "The equal distribution of the field has begun, and the emperor will not take back his fate, and there is only one word for today's plan." ”

"Rebellion!"

"You're crazy!" King Lu looked at Kong Yinzhi stupidly.

"Then what do you say. Without land, what will you enjoy, not to mention that the emperor will take back your throne at that time. Kong Yinzhi rolled his eyes, and finally withdrew his hand, and after a while, a red strangulation mark had appeared on the entire palm.

"This ......." King Lu looked tangled, and he couldn't make up his mind at all. The Fanwang policy of the Ming Dynasty was still very successful, at least at this time, it can be seen.

"I still don't want it, it's not good to rebel, I'm the king of Fan, the emperor has to give me a bite to eat no matter what, the field is gone, the throne is gone, it's just so that I can still walk out of the fiefdom." After thinking about it for a while, King Lu seemed to have figured it out, and there was a kind of hope in his eyes.

"It's such a waste, the human knives are all raised on the head, and if you don't want to, then you just wait for death." King Lu's reaction almost made Kong Yinzhi scold, they couldn't have imagined that these kings were like this, and none of them could have any ambition

Shandong does not only have a king of Lu, but also a king of Heng and King De, he has looked for them separately, but those two timid ones are like mice, and before he finishes speaking, he sees the signs that his topic is expected to be introduced there, so he directly asked people to beat him out, which almost didn't make him angry.

Now that I meet a King Lu, it's the same way, I don't think about my own losses, but I think that I can walk around in the future, go to your sister! Angry, Kong Yinzhi didn't say hello, and directly threw his sleeves and left King Lu's mansion.

Since Hebei really began to divide the land, the whole world has almost exploded, and all the landlords who have a little land at home have paid close attention to Hebei, ah no, it should be the Imperial Daily. This era is not a later generation, there is no convenient communication, there is no Internet, and there are not even normal communication channels, and people simply cannot understand the unexpected places in their hometowns.

Nowadays, the only channel, that is, the Imperial Daily, which has laid printing points and newspapers in the country, has almost controlled the public opinion of the entire Ming Dynasty and guided many wind directions.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu You proofread the newspaper card very strictly, and no one was allowed to get involved in it at all, and even issued a holy decree that as long as someone was found anywhere to do something similar, the local Jinyi guard would immediately take it down and regard it as an accomplice.

Now under strict orders, Zhu Youxiao has firmly controlled public opinion in his hands, and his policy of equalizing land is known to the world.

The people naturally applauded, but the landlords were not necessarily. And the first to bear the brunt is Shandong. Originally, the implementation of this policy was to start in Shandong, but it was pushed back by Governor Xiong Wencan.

But the cabinet did not give up, and it was replaced by Hebei, and the feeling of burning the butt finally made the big clan in Shandong, the Kong family, feel frightened, and His Majesty's attitude is very resolute.

Xiong Wencan collided, and the Kong family also contributed, but he could withstand the first time, but he couldn't resist the second time, Xiong Wencan also wanted political life, the official is gone, what is the use of more money. When Hebei finishes it, the next one will definitely be Shandong.

The Confucian family, which has developed to the present, has nothing else except a name, what is the talent, what is the character, what is it? Can you eat it, a few copper coins a pound? I don't even know what was mixed in there.

In this state, it is almost obvious that the Kong family is moving around and engaging in tandem. Otherwise, what should I do, sit back and wait for death?

It's just that the Kong family's movements are still slow.

Shanxi, Shaanxi and other border towns are the earliest, and in collusion with each other, it is the border army and the gentry, here not only to divide the land, but also to abolish the guards. As the saying goes, where there is oppression, there is resistance, and the same is true of rebellion.

In addition, Hubei, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, where there are kings, there are people to walk around. The whole world, almost an undercurrent surging, really calm, or Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other coastal provinces, no way, they are busy doing business, there is no time to care about these things.

Field? What do you want to do in the fields, this time the Spaniards came to the port of Shanghai in Kazakhstan, but they brought the news that Manila was in urgent need of Chinese goods, and the Shanghai exchange was organizing a fleet trip at this time, as long as Shen Yourong's naval fleet came back from overseas, then it would be able to go to sea.

If you have to run this trip, you will need an income of tens of thousands of taels of silver, what do you need to do with the fields, and how many fields can you plant to earn tens of thousands of taels.

There is an undercurrent surging in the world, although there is no clear report, but Xu Guangqi is an old fox, how could he not know it. The strange atmosphere has been reflected in the twists and turns in various places.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhongxian, the governor of Dongchang, followed the emperor on an errand, and was not in the country, so Dongchang naturally did not make any big moves, but Luo Sigong, the commander of Jinyiwei, was still there. It's just that under this strange atmosphere, he didn't find anything that could be used.

I know that someone is in tandem, but I don't know who, and I know that someone is plotting evil, but I don't know what the conspiracy is. This itchy feeling of scratching the boots almost made Luo Sigong vomit blood.

also made Luo Sigong shout angrily in the lobby of Jinyiwei, "Investigate thoroughly, you must investigate thoroughly, if you catch one, you will be killed." ”

Obviously, all the Jinyiwei households in various places have been bought, and some of them have been deceived from below, in short, Jinyiwei can't get any news.

Regarding this situation, Xu Guangqi was the old god, and he didn't care at all, and after communicating with Sun Chengzong, he found that he could suppress it, so he let it develop.

The emperor is not there, the army is outside, do you think there is an opportunity!

Not to mention that before, the governors themselves had a few thousand people, so it is said that after this time, each county has appointed a police chief, and according to the establishment, each county has at least 500 policemen.

In addition, there are also guards that have not been abolished, and even though many of them have rotted, they are not something that a few waste kings can shake.

What's more, the Beijing City Defense Army, the Shandong City Defense Army, the Jiangsu City Defense Army, and the Anhui City Defense Army are all newly built and cannot be compared with the Central Army, but it is still not a problem to fight the domestic rebellion. These four armies, there are nearly 100,000 people in themselves, and under the attack from all sides, Xu Guangqi said that he holds it, and the emperor does not have to worry about it outside.

Xu Guangqi is iron-hearted, he doesn't let the emperor interfere, and he wants to settle domestic affairs alone, if the old man can't solve this point, how can he be this first assistant!

[Author's digression]: I'm so tired, just get off work, huhu, today's code is not finished, for the sake of my hard work, everyone subscribes.
