When the traverser and the power they brought crossed the sea and took root in Guangdong, the ancient and slow southern country became fast-paced.

The land with the new district as the core is like a whirlpool, attracting people and resources from all directions, and spitting out various industrial products that are ahead of the times.

Even the rudimentary industrial age brought about social change. All kinds of dazzling goods, all kinds of new ideas and new cultures, all the time impacting the indigenous people. Just like a steam locomotive is to a sedan chair, the slow-paced habits of the indigenous people are slowly but surely forced to speed up in silence.

Another characteristic of industrial society is that it is "noisy". The originally peaceful Nantian Famous City has become disturbed and restless since then, and its muscles are getting stronger and full of vitality day by day.

In comparison, the little thing that Li Dazui did in Ho Jing O is insignificant. After all, there is no Internet these days, and everything that happens in the core area is difficult to be disseminated to the public.

Even the heart of the Ming Empire is equally ignorant of this.

..................................................

At the end of May 1631, the capital.

Thousands of miles away in the north, at this time, even during the Xiaoice period, the weather has taken on the heat.

It has been more than a year since the catastrophe last year. The ancient capital seems to have regained its bustling appearance with the flow of people, cars and horses, but the internal trauma is far from being healed.

The ruler of the city, and at the same time the ruler of the Ming Empire, was the diligent Emperor Chongzhen.

Since the emperor is diligent, the early dynasty is probably indispensable. In the early morning of the end of May, the young Emperor Chongzhen held an early court at the imperial gate as usual.

The royal gate is the gate of the imperial palace. Before Jiajing changed its name in the forty-first year of Jiajing, the imperial palace was originally called Fengtian Palace. In the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the imperial palace will be renamed the Taihe Hall that is familiar to later generations - commonly known as the Jinluan Palace.

The emperor of the Qing Dynasty did not say that in fact, in addition to major political activities and festivals, the place where the emperor of the Ming Dynasty opened his morning court every day was not in the Jinluan Palace, but at the gate. This rule was created by Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and there is a name called "Listening to the Government at the Royal Gate".

Today is no exception.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, with the beating of bells and drums on the tower of the noon gate, hundreds of Beijing officials who had been waiting for a long time and lined up entered the gate of the Forbidden City...... Los Angeles at four in the morning? Please, Beijing City at 4 o'clock in the morning, see you every day.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen, who was wearing a black dragon robe, also walked out of the apse with a large number of eunuchs and palace maids. After the ministers took their seats, the emperor sat on the dragon chair in front of the imperial door on time.

Kneel and knock three times, and the mountain shouts long live.

After the routine was finished, with the slight morning light, the regular pair began in front of the royal door.

Today's morning dynasty is very ordinary, and it seems to be a familiar boring cutscene. High-grade officials are preludes, and low-grade officials who are not qualified to come forward should do a good job of background boarding, and strive to leave the shift as soon as possible......

In fact, since Zhu Yuanzhang, the extremely inefficient governance mode of the great dynasty has been abandoned by later emperors. After Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was too tired to go to the early dynasty every day, so he changed to deal with various affairs by reviewing the chapters, and the early dynasty was only held occasionally. Even more ruthless are Jiajing and Wanli, who have not been to the early dynasty for more than 20 years.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was a model worker, he did not have the habit of detaining the civil servants in the capital in the Forbidden City and not doing practical things. So soon, in essence, it has been reduced to the regular dynasty of ceremonies, and the next dynasty.

After the next dynasty, as the dense crowd of low-grade officials dispersed, the real central government decision-making system of the Ming Empire began to operate: a small court meeting composed of a few officials such as the emperor, scholars, and six scholars.

Today's small court meeting, the participants are relatively complete, basically the bigwigs above the second grade in Beijing are present, and even two or three noble old ministers have come - although the nobles never speak, but if people want to observe, the emperor and the bachelor can't push people out, right?

After the start of the small court meeting, the monarchs and ministers first talked about a few idle government affairs. After that, it's time for today's event: dealing with the twists and turns sent by the Guangdong side.

The content of the excerpts mentioned here is naturally the document on the "conflict" in Macao last month.

In fact, from the day of the conflict, Guangdong officials have successively written concerts to the imperial court. Later, the yamen of the governor of Liangguang, the local yamen, and even officials from all over Guangdong, Jinyiwei, and even local gentry, retired officials, etc., all ventilated to the imperial court. Therefore, from early April to the present, the imperial court has received a lot of concerts, and has also had a relatively clear understanding of the Macao incident.

However, the most critical in this matter, the Zhangchao General Army, the Yamen, was not sent to the capital until mid-May. In other words, it was at the end of April or early May, nearly a week after the end of the war, that Cao Chuan, the loyal and brave uncle, slowly swallowed the ordinary post road and sent a recital to the imperial court.

After the imperial court received the chapter, it was natural to study it carefully and savor it carefully: the rest of the people from all walks of life were early in the book, but the person in charge of your surname Cao was delaying for a long time, what are the disadvantages here?

In this way, when the bigwigs of the imperial court figured out the cause and effect of the concert through private channels, the time had come to the end of May. This is also the theme of today's small pilgrimage meeting: replying to the purpose.

After seeing that the rest of the trivial political affairs were almost dealt with, facing the rising sun, Emperor Chongzhen, who squinted slightly, turned his face sideways and nodded to the celebrant who was on duty today.

Fang Zhenghua, who understood the mind, immediately went out of work, and said to the civil official group on the left hand side of His Majesty's steps: "There is an edict: can the ministers have a receipt for the excerpts handed over from the south?" ”

Comrade Wen Tiren, a scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, who had been prepared for a long time, hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over: "There is a vote for it." "69 school bags

The next moment, the young emperor reached out and took the cabinet bill, and looked at it carefully from the beginning.

In other words, in Chongzhen's dynasty, the power of the celebrant was greatly reduced. The reason is very simple: Chongzhen is a workaholic, and the chapters sent to the capital from all over the country are often brought directly by the emperor after the cabinet vote is drafted, and the emperor often takes them directly to the imperial review and annotates the instructions, and there is nothing to do with the celebrant in the middle.

It's the same today. After Wen Shangshu handed over the cabinet ticket, the emperor directly began to inspect the court.

................................................

The content of this recital of the late arrival of the Zhangchao General Soldier Yamen is divided into three parts.

In the first part, a general soldier told the onlookers that on a small island in the far south, there was a small "conflict" between the Ming officers and the Franciscans.

Yes, according to the results of the Cabinet's deliberations after the fact, the time-travelers defined this war as a "conflict".

The reason for this characterization is very simple: if the Franji people (including all the colonists) are portrayed as the great enemies of the fierce and brutal barbarian countries, then the sentence "reform and opening up allows all foreigners to enter Guangzhou to do business" will not be valid.

It is precisely based on this that this time, the Zhangchao General Army's Yamen did not take the military situation urgently, but sent a plain letter: This is a small conflict, and it can't reach the level of war that needs the attention of the imperial court, so Lao Tzu sent a regular letter...... No matter how the rest of you do it, Lao Tzu will characterize it as a conflict here, and Lao Tzu will believe it anyway.

As for the specific content of the chapter, the master of the General Military Mansion naturally downplayed the scene of the day and made a variety of spring and autumn brushwork: the Ming and Fu families had a little discord, in view of the friendly cooperation between the two countries for many years, so everyone agreed to play a friendly match with the fortress outside the city of Macao. In the end, the "Cao Army" laid down the fortress, although the loser was defeated, the two sides shook hands and made peace, and Francois handed over the city peacefully, and the women and children were not injured, and they were all happy, and the model of international relations was cloudy......

This is the first stage of the recital: debriefing.

The second stage is to give good news and gifts to the imperial court.

After the recovery of the island, the first thing is the good news of "returning to power". After the first few days of military control, Cao Zongbing said that he had transferred jurisdiction over the island to the Yamen, the governor of Liangguang, who had stationed Cheng Zhongsheng in Xiangshan County to exercise his official powers.

Secondly, since the Portuguese have taken over the Macau City, which the Portuguese have been operating since the Jiajing period, there must be some "gains". Cao Zongbing was born in a reckless manner, and he was the most loyal, and this time he opened the city, he naturally couldn't forget the emperor and the court thousands of miles away, everyone had meat to eat and soup to drink. So Cao Zongbing gave great gifts to the emperor and the imperial court.

The following is a list of dividends to the imperial court, in total:

One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver

General Franz has ten cannons and a number of guns;

Thirty medium-position guns of the Furlong machine, and a number of cannon charges;

Furlong machine small cannons, a total of 100 guns;

100 Furlong gunner instructors (for hire).

Franco's "happy loss" to the Celestial Empire's three-cropping rice Datianzhuang title deeds 5 (located in the north of Annam).

After the imperial court gift list, there is a personal gift list for Cao Zongbing to honor the emperor:

150,000 taels of silver;

100 pieces of Furlong machine treasures;

Cao's workshop new 100 treasures;

Loyal and brave uncles are filial to the emperor's daily miscellaneous uses;

Fran Jiren "happy to lose" to the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty of the three crops of the private grange of land deeds 5 (located in the north of Annam).

Above.

After the end of the first two parts, the key third part is here: the master of the General Military Mansion quoted the classics, from the Kunlun slave of the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, and then to today's Franco, sprinkled all kinds of nonsense, by the way, he also criticized the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that it is not advisable to shrink the head of the turtle, and now with him Cao Zhongchen, it is a good time to boldly open the door and do business.

In the end, a thousand words turned into one sentence: reform and opening up, opening up the new area outside Guangzhou as a pilot, Xu foreign ships docked, Xu foreign businessmen bought real estate, and China and foreign countries were interconnected.

This piece has a strong martial arts reckless style. The content of it can be seen at a glance, and the three paragraphs of content are respectively to send face, send benefits, and make requests, undisguised, and straightforward.

And the young Emperor Chongzhen, at this moment, carefully read the cabinet vote attached to the fold, although the words came and went, and the final conclusion was only one word: "grant what you want."
