Hermes-Epitek moved into the Acropolis one after another, and the military government also focused on the development of industry and commerce under the guidance of Chen Xiong, and various factories and workshops were gradually established and expanded. Maritime trade is even more strongly supported, of course, it is difficult to import and easy to export.

Chongzhen hanged himself as in history, and then Li Zicheng also fought fiercely with the Manchus in Hebei.

After knowing that Chongzhen died, Chen Xiong also bowed slightly to the north! He is the last emperor of the Han people, and as for the prince of Nanming, he is just the old lord of the warlord, and he is not the emperor of Kyushu. Chen Xiong's heart felt that Chongzhen had to die, the Zhu family had enjoyed all the glory and wealth for hundreds of years, and the whole world had supported the Zhu royal family. The Zhu family's hundreds of years of dignity, chic and happy life were exchanged for the blood, tears, sweat and even the dignity of life of countless small people. He Zhu Youzhen can't die, which is the real injustice. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen will die no matter where he flees, just like the Four Emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty, no matter who he is, he must die!

History says that the Zhu family drove away Meng Yuan, and the credit is heavenly. But even if there is no Zhu family, other warlords and emperors can drive away the declining and corrupt Meng Yuan. And the real heroes who drove away Meng Yuan were countless warriors and soldiers, but history only gave all the credit to the rulers. In the end, the Zhu family defeated Kyushu to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Zhu family was guilty of a small crime! It seems to be their fate that many princes were cooked and eaten alive by the rebels......

At the beginning of June, the crown prince of Nanjing was also officially enthroned, with the year name Hongguang. Wu Sangui betrayed, and the Manchu Qing entered the customs. On the verge of crisis, Shi Kefa also supervised Jiangbei again, and Liu Zeqing also retreated to Huainan as in history and became a warlord.

The famous four towns of Jiangbei were officially established, and taking advantage of the decisive battle of the main force of the army to the north, Shi Kefa also sent Liu Degong to recover the entire Hubei. Four towns in Jiangbei, 500,000 troops guard the first line of the Huai River. Similarly, the armies in Jiangnan were also guarding against Zhang Xianzhong and Lingnan Chen Xiong, and Nanjing, in order to hold the southern front, asked Zheng Zhilong, the governor of Fujian, to defend the military on land and sea. The Southern Ming Dynasty fought on three fronts, but it was really unable to stabilize Fujian, so it could only hand over the military power of Fujian to the Zheng family. It is better to let Zheng Zhilong be the governor of Fujian than to let the Han army directly enter the mastership.

In fact, even if Nanming did not hand over the military power in Fujian, the Zheng family would be able to slowly control most of Fujian within a year. The Zheng family has been in Fujian for more than ten years, which shows that the Zheng family has long had the intention of separating the deer.

Now among the warlords of the Ming Dynasty, Nanming's troops are still the largest. The strength of 500,000 four towns is relatively weak. There are soldiers and horses from all over the family, and there are more than one million in Nanming. The overall combat effectiveness of the Southern Ming Army is second only to the Han Army, at least it is inseparable from the old thieves of the Dashun Army.

Zhang Xianzhong is also stepping up the suppression and slaughter of rebels, the unique terrain of Sichuan, the old Sichuan people are also tenacious and unyielding, and there are still many prefectures and counties to rebel against the Great Western Kingdom. The brutal Zhang Xianzhong also began to issue a massacre order, and the place where he dared to resist did not seal the knife for several days.

The brutality of Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army also made Li Dingguo wonder for the first time whether everything he had done was worth it. Li Dingguo, who did not participate in the suppression, invited 30,000 soldiers and horses to march to Guizhou, and he also became a marginal general of the Great Western Kingdom.

The north and the south are in constant chaos, and the battle of Hebei is even more related to the safety of the Central Plains.

In mid-June 1644, the whole of Guangzhou was once again lively.

King Annam officially issued an order to recruit talents, and candidates from all over the country will enter the Military and Political Academy for half a year of emergency training after passing the preliminary examination. After that, positions are assigned according to merit and ability, and the highest achiever can be the head of a government, and the lowest can also become a junior official or a college lecturer.

The prefectures and counties of Guangdong knew that the military government was going to train officials to replace them completely, but the sword of the Han army was on their heads, and they did not dare to have any thoughts. In addition, after negotiations with the gentry, various families also sent their children to participate in the preliminary examination. Of the 10,000 college students, 50% are admitted to the children of the gentry from the world, 20% of the candidates from other provinces will also be admitted, and 10% of the remaining 30% are from the north to the Han people, and the last 20% of the admission places are poor students from all over Lingnan.

This time the military government wants to remove most of the officials, and the vacated positions will be a chance to make a comeback.

Chen Xiong did not rush to kill them all, and after the handover of officials from all over the country, he could also enter the academy for a year of formal training next year. Those who can pass can also be re-elected as officials, and if they can't pass, they will also have their own arrangements. The officials have a chance to rise again, and they are even less likely to rebel against the junta.

There were 60,000 candidates in the preliminary examination and 10,000 candidates from the surrounding provinces. This preliminary exam is very simple, only the basic Chinese and mathematics are tested, that is, as long as you are literate and can count, you will have a chance to pass.

Although it claims to be a fair exam, most of the places have already been decided. For the sake of stability in various places, Chen Xiong can only compromise. What's more, most of the real elites of this era are from the gentry of the world. They have a rich family and can study without worries, and few students from poor families can compete with them. But most of the real ghosts are from poor families, after all, ghosts are also born in sorrow and die in peace. Boiling frogs can only be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people if they change slowly, and if they are brutal and overly oppressive, they will only make the military junta turn away from the people in advance.

Because of insider trading, Chen Xiong did not pay too much attention to this sensational southern examination.

After the construction of the Four David Cities entered the kneeling road, in addition to accompanying his two wives, Chen Xiong spent more time guiding the ordnance and firearms factory.

The research institute under the military government command was also officially established, and now the research institute mainly focuses on three directions.

The first thing to study is: fixed bullet and spontaneous impact ignition, and Chen Xiong also wrote out the principle of rear-loading single-shot rifles. Bullets are the most difficult to make, which requires a lot of time to study, and Chen Xiong does not force them, and allows them to study slowly.

The second research is artillery, mainly to develop barrel steel to replace copper cannons. At the same time, Chen Xiong also knew the general theory of studying the principle of the late-firing fixed artillery, and the specific still needed to be explored slowly by craftsmen.

The third research is the one that Chen Xiong values the most, that is, the heart of the first industrial revolution, the steam engine. Chen Xiong would make the most rudimentary models of this thing, but he wouldn't do it himself, after all, it was also troublesome to develop a steam engine. The main difficulty is the research of components such as sealants and compressor pipes. Under Chen Xiong's guidance, the first rotating steam engine was successfully operated, but the power was not even as effective as manpower, and the air leakage was so severe that water had to be added constantly.

But it was such a simple steam engine wheel that completely ignited the fire of scientific research in the research institute. The success of the steam engine also convinced them that their research direction would be successful.

The military junta also regarded the first steam engine wheel as a godsend, and from the mouth of the lord, they all saw the horror of the future steam engine: a thousand meters of steel dragon roaring by, a thousand miles a day. The 100-meter steel ship at sea travels day and night, and can cross the four seas without sails and manpower.

Most of the research bureau are craftsmen, but there are also many young apprentices, as well as many Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch. The foreign devils of this era were merchants and pirates, and when they met armed merchant sailors, they would come forward to collect their weapons. After all, the South China Sea has belonged to the Han people since ancient times, and the sovereignty of the islands in the South China Sea also belongs to the Han regime. So these people are the trophies of the bandits of the three fleets, and they are destined to live under the control of the junta until they die for the rest of their lives.

The research institute of the college is on track, and Chen Xiong has also begun to stay by the side of his two little wives with peace of mind.

After this period of getting along, the figure of Princess Changping also slowly came to Chen Xiong's heart. Eyes full of tears, a special fragrance can melt people! He also decided that he could not delay any longer, so as not to provoke the greed in his heart again.

The lesson of his previous life is vivid, he can no longer indulge his greedy desires!

On a cool night, the three people on the big bed are dressed coolly.

Day and night threesome, Chen Xiong naturally lay in the middle. Even though their bellies were bulging, they were still used to lying next to their husbands. The annoying and heavy snoring gradually became a lullaby that reassured them.

The dim light shines through the red cloth, making the white and tender skin even more full of temptation.

Gentle Township Hero Mound, Chen Xiong shook his head with a wry smile, he has not known the taste of meat for several months!

"It's hard for you, these days." Seeing that Xianggong wanted to speak and stopped, Xinna said guiltily.

Aimin is also apologetic with big eyes, they are pregnant at the same time, and they have not been able to accompany their husband for a long time.

Chen Xiong chuckled and said, "How come, I'm thinking about something else." I think it's better to let Changping and them leave Guangzhou! You can go to Leizhou or go back to Nanjing! ”

"This, how can the husband. If only let her go! Sister Changping will definitely be heartbroken! "Aimin is also very embarrassed, she really doesn't want to lose this good girlfriend.

"But!" Chen Xiong is difficult to speak, and he is really afraid that he will no longer be able to control himself from stealing after a long time. There is a pure friendship between men and women, and he will not believe it even if he is killed. The human heart is greedy, and he can't keep himself in a mess, but he can control this greedy desire by avoiding contact with the opposite sex as much as possible.

In later generations, love was overflowing, and love only became a legend, all because the relationship between men and women was too normal. Human nature is greedy, and I want to get perfect true love, and I want to get more people's feelings! It's really a lack of people's hearts!

Chen Xiong decided to let Changping go! Even if she is heartbroken because of this, it is better than sacrificing herself and hurting the people she loves the most!

Feeling the firmness of Xianggong's gaze, Xinna sighed: "Xianggong, do you like Changping?" ”

This! Ai Min looked at her side in a daze: they were the only ones to rely on. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Plants and Trees of the Late Ming Dynasty" for free reading for the first time.
