Mo Jingyu's dedication of the country to Zhicheng in Gaoping only took two days to spread from Gaoping to Zhongdu, and the news was transmitted so quickly thanks to a cross-era invention - the telegraph.

In fact, Zhu Mingzhong's telegraph, which he invented with the help of the books he had read, still seems extremely primitive, and although it has taken several years to lay it down, it is far from forming a network and has not been laid throughout the country.

The most important reason restricting the development of Daming telegraph is technology, and the technology of cable telegraph is far from reaching maturity. This, combined with relatively high costs, resulted in a limited number of new telegraph lines being built each year. However, despite this, Zhu Mingzhong still unswervingly promoted the laying of telegraph lines, because he knew that for China, which has a vast territory, the "technology of political organization of a modern state" must also be premised on the technical overcoming of the spatial distance of the country. If China were to try to transform from a traditional empire to a modern state, while avoiding the fate of the great Christian empires of Europe that had broken up into multiple nation-states, it would have to overcome the spatial distance of its territory as quickly as possible, and to do so it would have to "leapfrog" with the most advanced communications and transportation technologies and scientific management methods – which required a centralized government.

It is precisely for this reason that in the past three years, Zhu Mingzhong has been constantly building his centralized government according to the times, and at the same time, using the free labor brought by the people's forced labor to renovate the country's official roads. The widening and straightening of official roads, coupled with the hardening of roads with raw materials such as gravel, stones, and sand, are building a transportation system. As for the railway from Kaifeng to Tongguan, in the future, as soon as the horse-drawn train becomes a steam train, it means advanced transportation technology.

Of course, compared to the trains, which have not made much progress, the most advanced telecommunications, the telegraph, has been in operation for several years, but so far only a few important lines have been laid. The telegraph line from Nanning to Changsha is one of them, and because of this, Gaoping Mo Jingyu's dedication of soil was sent to Nanning by fast horses, and then from there the telegram was sent to Changsha, from Changsha through Wuchang at least Anqing, and then transferred to Zhongdu. In fact, most of the two days were delayed on the road from Gaoping to Nanning.

After this letter was reported to the cabinet by the Imperial Court, it was natural that the cabinet would play it to His Majesty, and then the matter would be discussed in the Wenzhao Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, although the Mo clan sacrificed the land, although it was forced by the Zheng clan, but in this way, my Ming Dynasty also has an excuse to send troops to Annan......"

There was no objection at all, and almost everyone was in favor of the annexation of Annam, not for expansion, but for the sake of the face of the Celestial Empire.

Three years ago, the Ming Dynasty established the Imperial Court, only the so-called Annan refused the request to set up a prince, and they accepted the canonization of the Manchu Dynasty, although they later sent an envoy to apologize and request the Ming Dynasty to be canonized, but His Majesty refused.

The face of the Celestial Empire is very important.

Even when the Qing Dynasty was still entrenched in Shaanxi, it was necessary to protect the face of the Celestial Empire, otherwise, the Celestial Empire would definitely be despised by the vassal state. Especially under the premise that Gao Ping had already been canonized by the Ming Dynasty, Zheng's use of troops against Gao Ping was undoubtedly challenging the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, and if it was not taught a lesson, it would definitely affect the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

"Excuses!"

At this time, Zhu Mingzhong pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"If I want to go to the next place, what excuse do I need? For thousands of years, I don't know how many ancient saints have just limited their eyes to the land of my Huaxia Kyushu, but they don't know that this world is so big, and there is a broader world outside of Huaxia Kyushu, and if my Huaxia Kyushu does not have the blue wisps of the pre-Qin Zhuxia Road, to enlighten the mountains and forests. If there are barbarians, how can there be the land of Kyushu later? But since the son of Zhou Tianzi, I have no division in China, Zhuxia disputes, the world is devastated, although the unification, but the sages of the dynasties stop in Kyushu, regard Kyushu as a barbarian land outside Kyushu, is a bad land where miasma is rampant, so divided into prisons, self-trapped Kyushu. So much so that I forgot that at the beginning of the summer, there were a few places in my Huaxia Kyushu that were not barbarians, and they were not rampant. The road is blue, in order to enlighten the mountains and forests. Fu has barbarians, so as to belong to China. If it is not the sages of Zhuxia, there is naturally no today's China, I am the son of tomorrow, it is to re-find my destiny of China, "Fu has barbarians, to belong to China", this is my destiny of China, I Huaxia and was given this mandate, in order to let the world barbarians, be taught in China, belong to China, so that there is a time when the world is in harmony. Perhaps these places are just places where miasma runs rampant in the eyes of your Aiqing. But in Yu Zhen's opinion, it is my destiny to apply my Ming education to the land of barbarians! Of course, our generation will not be able to see the day when the world will be in harmony, but we can regain our destiny in China, so that our future generations will not forget this destiny. I need all of you to join hands with me to realize my destiny in China! ”

Destiny is revealed!

In the past month, almost all the gentry officials in the Ming Dynasty have been talking about the "Zhao Zhao Mandate of Heaven", and the discussion of this mission, and even the discussion of "dividing the clan into Yidi and changing the Zhuxia" has been overshadowed by the discussion of "dividing the clan into Yidi and changing the Zhuxia", for many scholars and literati, the impact of this destiny even makes them not know how to deal with it, but this does not prevent them from boiling over it.

Historically, for thousands of years, all scholars have had a supreme dream - "the great harmony of the world". Of course, the harmony of the world is just a vision. In contrast, the "restoration of the weekly system" is undoubtedly their wish.

And now, under Zhu Mingzhong's planning, through the scholars in Qinghe Academy, he has successfully linked the Mandate of Heaven, the Zhou System, and Datong with expansion, and the core is the Mandate of Heaven!

The Zhou system is the same as the Great Harmony, but it is only for the realization of the Mandate of Heaven.

What is the Mandate of Heaven in China - "Fu has barbarians, so as to belong to China".

It's just to educate the Quartet!

Wasn't it through the pre-Qin Zhuxia that it belonged to China and laid the foundation for today's China?

The sensation caused by the "Mandate of Heaven" in the Ming Dynasty was extremely violent, not only because this article completely subverted people's understanding, but also made countless frustrated scholars see another hope - "Dividing the clan into Yidi and changing the Zhuxia", which means that the clans must need a large number of officials, and for the scholars and literati who have lost their way to promotion due to the abolition of the imperial examination. They saw the opportunity to be promoted, although this was different from what they imagined, but even if they were officials, they could be sent to Guangxi, Yunnan and other places, so compared to Nanyang, it seemed that it was not very far.

Of course, this is also in line with the spirit of Confucianism - to educate the Quartet! Isn't this what the saints taught?

For a time, in just one month, countless scholars and literati published articles in newspapers, not only limited to "Ming Pao", but also many local newspapers also discussed the "Mandate of Heaven" in China. The scholars and literati quoted scriptures and discussed there, and the official even directly listed the information on the land, telling them that there were people and fields, and it was not the wild land they imagined, and it was precisely in this discussion that the consciousness of "manifesting the Mandate of Heaven" quickly spread.

And this boiling of consciousness brought another benefit - the literati who had been full of complaints against the emperor because of the abolition of the imperial examination turned their attention to the clans of the two capitals, which also allowed the dissatisfaction to be resolved.

Although everyone knows that this "Manifest Destiny" is actually an expansion in disguise. But from His Majesty's impassioned words, they still felt the "destiny" rising in their hearts, and even became a little excited about it. I saw all the ministers bow their hands in unison.

"The ministers swear to follow Your Majesty to the death and create the foundation of all things for me in China!"

At this time, people no longer use "Daming", but "Huaxia", because Daming is just an era, and "Huaxia" is this nation, and that day is the destiny of China, not just the destiny of Daming.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to realize this destiny, you will not only divide the clan into various places, but also need to recruit local barbarians, and this must be a protracted campaign, and there is no room for impatience. Although it is not yet time for me to march in full force towards the northwest, expel the Qing captives, and recover Shaanxi, the time is ripe for the capture of Annam. ”

Zhu Mingzhong, who has never had the slightest affection for Vietnam, said this, and a cold light suddenly flashed in his eyes. saw him set his eyes on Li Dingguo, and then asked.

"King of Jin, if you use the soldiers of the Jin domain to capture Annan, what do you think?"

Yes!

Li Dingguo, who was asked, looked at His Majesty with wide eyes, he had just returned to the DPRK, and he had already taken up the post of secretary of the Ministry of War, he was instantly stunned, and he even instinctively thought of the four words "borrowing a knife to kill people" in his heart.

Should it be accepted, or should it be rejected?

"Back to Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Jin Domain are also the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. If Your Majesty is sent, how dare the people of the Jin Domain disobey? ”

After a moment of sluggishness, Li Dingguo replied.

"As the secretary of the military department, although the minister discusses the army, the use of the army must be planned by the governor's office of the five armies."

Li Dingguo's answer can be said to be impeccable, Zhu Mingzhong nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then asked Li Xiangen, the secretary of the Imperial Academy.

"Li Shangshu, this use of troops in Annan will inevitably cause panic in various states, can the Li Fan Yuan have a way to deal with it?"

Daming annexes Annam!

It is bound to cause panic in the South Seas, especially since Burma has been annexed by the Ming Dynasty. Now if the Ming Dynasty directly uses troops to Annan, after causing panic in the South Seas, will it affect the Ming Dynasty's plans in the South Seas?

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are many uncourtiers of the Nanyang Tuwang, and two years ago, the decree of the Imperial Court to set up the Imperial Court in various states has been issued, but the countries rarely respond to the imperial court."
