Xu Ruolu, the secretary of the ministry, finally knew why the previous secretary of the ministry was hung up early-he was 100% exhausted, and there was no second possibility at all.

How big is the territory of the Ming Dynasty? How many provinces and counties are there? Now it is not even clear that the state capitals are being counted, and it is even more impossible for the counties to be counted clearly.

And now you have to set up towns and townships under the county with a slap of your head? And then these town mayors and township heads still have official status? This is forcing the official to die!

Xu Ruolu did not die, although he wanted to die, but he still did not die after all.

Xu Ruolu, who has been in the court for a long time, has long learned Emperor Chongzhen's first skill - throwing the pot.

Emperor Chongzhen can decide the matter with his mouth, and he can do the same, such as throwing the matter to the left and right servants, and then let them go to the coolies to figure out what to do together.

As for the coolies, in addition to the Zhongji Palace, aren't there those Jinshi who came to the Eight Divisions to walk? Aren't there still those students from Jingjing University?

Thinking about it first, although this matter has been decided, it is not a matter of a day and a half to implement it, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of time.

Meng Zhaoxiang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Xu Ruolu, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, were in the same mood, wanting to die, but they were reluctant.

The biggest conflict between patriarchal rules and Da Ming law lies in the protection of personal interests.

From the perspective of the entire Daming law, the emphasis is on the supremacy of national interests, and then the protection of personal interests, while the patriarchal family rules focus on family interests, and there will inevitably be a conflict between the two.

Before that, there was no perfect law to stipulate how to formulate or implement the patriarchal rules, and now Emperor Chongzhen has decided on a lap of his head, which means that the criminal department must issue relevant laws to regulate this aspect of patriarchal family rules.

But is the system and implementation of any law an overnight success?

But fortunately, the Royal Academy and Jingcheng University each have a law school expanded from the previous Ming Law Department, and they can always get things done properly by grabbing some coolies and then discussing with the bigwigs of the Middle Pole Palace.

Hong Chengchou of the Ministry of Railways does not have these messy ideas.

It's not that no one has written a book of impeachment, and the reasons for impeachment are also messy, mainly focusing on disturbing the ancestral tombs.

But Hong Chengchou didn't care at all - Emperor Chongzhen even built a railway near Xiaoling, and even if others dared to talk crookedly, they could only do it behind their backs, and most of their impeachments were suppressed, so it didn't matter.

In addition to the headaches of the bigwigs of each department, a storm began to spread outward from the capital division - Ti rode out!

Jin Yiwei made such a big move more than ten years ago when he cleaned up the Fushe and the Donglin Party, and since then Jin Yiwei has been a little transparent, and the most famous murderer is that the officials are afraid, and the people don't care much.

Now Jinyiwei has once again made a big deal out of the world, which reminds everyone of the fear under the domination of the factory guards - it is still the Chongzhen Emperor, or the group of factory guards who are like wolves and tigers!

In Tongzhou City, Lin Huanyu wiped the sweat on his forehead, waved his hand to the Jinyi Guard lieutenants behind him, and shouted: "Up!" ”

Jinyiwei has always been not very civilized, and in fact, no one asks Jinyiwei to engage in any civilized law enforcement - even the urban management yamen in the capital does not pay attention to civilized law enforcement, and Jinyiwei does not have any civilized law enforcement.

A lieutenant directly put the embroidered spring knife in his hand on Menzi's neck, and the others followed behind Lin Huanyu, who was laughing, towards the courtyard.

Bai Xingyu of Baihu was a discerning person, and he didn't care about the chaotic crying crowd in the courtyard, so he went to the lobby and found a stool and moved it out, and put it behind Lin Huanyu: "My lord, please sit down first." ”

Lin Huanyu nodded approvingly, sat down as soon as he took off his robe, found a comfortable position, leaned back on the chair and squinted his eyes.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later that the courtyard stopped, both the master and the servant were tied up, and when the head of the family, Li Chenggui, was escorted to Lin Huanyu, he had lost all his former elegance, and the whole person became extremely embarrassed.

Lin Huanyu's face, which was still smiling just now, suddenly became gloomy, and he reached out to take the whip from Bai Xingyu next to him, and after lightly patting it twice in his palm, he slashed his head and face towards Li Chenggui.

Li Chenggui's clothes were torn by the barbs on the whip, and then he was brought up with strips of flesh and blood, and the whole person was soon covered in bruises, and his appearance looked extremely miserable.

Lin Huanyu, who finally stopped after smoking for a long time, squatted down, grabbed Li Chenggui's hair, and sneered: "You said that you waste, you like to hide your head and show your tail in everything."

Either you just hide it, so don't be touched by the brocade guard, okay? Either it will rebel with great fanfare, and it will save the trouble of our Jinyi guards, what do you say is the matter if you can't go up or down?

In order to find you a bastard, Lao Tzu was thrown from the capital to Tongzhou, Xiaoyu who leaned on the red mansion was still waiting for Lao Tzu to go back to drink, you unconsciously tied your hands, and actually waited for Lao Tzu to come to the door? ”

Bai Xingyu and the others looked around at the ants on the ground, and they didn't seem to know the Qianhu Lord in front of them at all-Lin Qianhu, who was polite and polite in the past, was the younger brother of the imperial concubine, and now he is scolding like a splash, which really damages his image......

When Lin Huanyu finished scolding, Li Chenggui reluctantly raised his head, grinned and said: "The villain has always been a heirloom of poetry and books, I don't know how to provoke the uncle of Jinyiwei?" ”

Lin Huanyu shook his head and said, "If you provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not in the mood to worry about you." You secretly instructed people to spread those rumors and slander the head of the Royal Academy's Agricultural College, and this time, no one could save you. ”

Li Chenggui shook his head, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Lin Huanyu's statement: "Lord Qianhu knows how many people are involved in it? ”

Lin Huanyu sneered with pity on his face: "Since this Qianhu brought someone to arrest you, there will naturally be others in other places to arrest you." As for how many people you have connected, Ben Qianhu is not interested in knowing.

Let me tell you this, whether you connect a thousand people, 10,000 people, even if it is 100,000 people and a million people, the final result will be the same. ”

Lin Huanyu has enough reason to believe that even if these people are connected with millions of people, the result of being exiled is still exile, and those who should be beheaded will still be beheaded - how murderous is his brother-in-law? Just a million? The barbarians who have been built into Jingguan over the years have already exceeded the number of hundreds of miles, and what about the millions of Ming people?

After so many years of mixing in the brocade guard, Lin Huanyu has long understood a truth - sometimes, it is better to recover by cutting off the carrion.

When a person is tormented by the carrion on his body because he is afraid of pain and does not cut it off, sooner or later it will spread into a larger piece, it is better to endure the pain of the moment and cut it all off, even if it hurts, but it can recover better and will not be fatal because of the spread of carrion!

It just so happened that Li Chenggui and the people in front of him were like the carrion on Daming's body, they were cut and cut, and they were cut off before they spread, which was better for Daming.

The same scene is still playing out in other sides of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is Jiangnan or the north, a large number of Jinyi Wei and Dongchang Fanzi, either acting alone or jointly, and even some places will mobilize the guards to cooperate with the action.

In the end, even the edict of Jinyiwei could not accommodate these many people, so he simply occupied the prison cells of Shuntianfu, and finally threw them into the Beijing camp for military custody.

No one thought that Emperor Chongzhen would really make such a ruthless move-the north and the south were added together, and nearly 100,000 people were arrested!

100,000 people is definitely not a small number at this time, put it on the side of Europa, maybe a big war will not have as many as 100,000 people, even in Daming, the arrest of 100,000 people at one time is enough to be called a shocking case.

Even the four major cases at the founding of the Ming Dynasty were compared - the four major cases did not arrest and kill so many people at the same time, and the total number of four major cases was less than 100,000 people.

Emperor Chongzhen is even better than Naizu, and directly arrested 100,000 people at one time, if it weren't for the firm control of military power, I am afraid that the world will be turbulent again.

However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't take this matter to heart at all.

Does the arrest of 100,000 people have a big impact?

It's not a big deal, it's a lie, any time to catch 100,000 people at one time is enough to cause a burst of turmoil.

But it's really small to say small.

The Ming Dynasty doesn't talk about the legal system, and in this situation where the imperial power is supreme and the emperor firmly holds the military power, the people's hearts and money bags, even if he catches another 100,000 people, it will not have much impact.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't even care about what happened to his two sons on the Penglai side - the European side is now about to beat people's brains into dog brains, where is there any extra energy to put on the Penglai side.

What is more important at the moment is the news that Li Chengyan has returned.

After being pressed by Ferdinand III and rubbed by the landlord a few times, the barbarians of Europe finally figured out one thing.

If you want to win the war, you can't just rely on the equipment in your own hands, at least you have to get equipment that is not weaker than that in the hands of the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See.

The Holy Roman Empire was a sworn feud for nearly thirty years, and both sides wanted the other to die immediately, and even Ferdinand III would not be able to help other countries buy arms, no matter how crazy he was.

And the Holy See is even more pitiful - the current Holy See has been forming crusaders, intending to sprinkle the glory of the Lord throughout the continent of Europa, and for this reason they did not hesitate to restart the original business such as indulgences, and even the "magic medicine that can lead to heaven", Fushou ointment has been taken out by them to hype, which has proved that heaven does exist.

This kind of magic medicine, before only Cohen was sold through the distant Ming Dynasty, but now they have both of them, and they came out at the same time as the powerful firearms in their hands, which can basically prove that these firearms came from the distant Eastern Empire, the Ming Dynasty.

The only people who have business dealings with the Ming in terms of arms are the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See, and it is unrealistic to count on these two, and the only ones who can count on them are Cohen and the East India Company.

The East India Company did not try to make a request for arms trade, but the replies received in Mughal, Java, Luzon and other places without exception were all for the purpose of maintaining world peace, and the Ming did not sell arms, but only provided equipment for its own army.

This kind of is to deceive children.

Where would a person who could mix in a high position have simple goods, and he would not believe this kind of nonsense to fool children - if it was only for the army of the Ming Dynasty, then how did the equipment in the hands of the Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire come from?

In desperation, the East India Company had to invite Cohen again, intending to let Cohen have a good contact with Li Chengyan.

Cohen is really powerful, or Li Chengyan is enough to give Cohen face, although he did not agree to Cohen's trade request on the spot, but he did not refuse directly, but promised to ask for instructions after returning to Daming.

This is great news for Cohen and those countries in Europe.

You must know that before, the Ming side directly refused, let alone be able to contact Li Chengyan.

Now that Li Chengyan has promised to ask for instructions after going back, then the matter is basically half successful, and the remaining half can only rely on God's blessing.

Emperor Chongzhen had long expected the European barbarians to find Li Chengyan and make a request to buy a large number of arms, and even the Zhongji Hall had already deduced the existence of this possibility.

If we follow this possibility, there are only three outcomes.

One is that these European barbarian states waited until the arms were not timely and were killed by the Holy Roman Empire;

The second is that these European barbarian states received a large amount of ammunition, and the Holy Roman Empire was killed under the overtaking of strength;

The third possibility is that both sides will lose, and no one can help the other, and once again enter a period of calm.

After synthesizing the various information provided by Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Zhongji Hall thought that it was time to sell firearms to these barbarians.

Not only to sell to them, but also to make a fuss about the amount of arms supplied by these barbarian countries and the Holy Roman Empire and the Holy See, so that the three parties can continue to open the film and not settle down easily.

To put it simply, this time we will sell more equipment to these barbarian countries in Europe, and next time we will sell more equipment to the Holy Roman Empire.

The strength of the two sides is unbalanced, and the side that occupies the top will think about attacking, trying to get benefits for themselves while taking revenge, and the side that has suffered a loss will definitely want to take revenge back.

Wait until these two sides can't fight in the future, and then support the Holy See well, let the Holy See go out to scare these two, and then find a way to force these two to unite and scare the Holy See.

In this way, basically in recent decades, there is no need to think about ending this melee, and if you don't let go of the last drop of blood of the European barbarians, it can be regarded as a white deduction of the think tank of the Middle Pole Temple!
