Now judging from Jin Zidian's news, the Ming Kingdom is not strong at all now. The barbarians, who originated between the white mountains and black waters, all defeated the Ming Kingdom one after another, and even ascended the throne as emperors.

Now that Korea is a terra nullius, it would be the easiest thing to do if the Japanese could take possession of this terra nullius. The Ming State was here, and there were only less than 10,000 Dongjiang troops, and they mainly dealt with the rebellion in Liaodong.

As for the land route, it is even more unlikely that the Ming Kingdom will enter Korea. Anyway, the first thing to defeat is not the rebellion of Liaodong!

As soon as it was put together, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt that this was really a godsend, to make him the first and most outstanding general in the history of the Wa Kingdom, that is, the Wa Kingdom would have a piece of continental land!

To be honest, Tokugawa Iemitsu was excited. However, he was also rational and did not dare to rashly make the decision to send troops to North Korea.

After some secret deliberations, Tokugawa Iemitsu decided, first, to send someone to North Korea to verify the situation; Second, the Daime Fu Kaga Tadashi Tadasumi stepped up efforts to verify the daimyo from all walks of life. If the Wa Kingdom sent troops to Korea, what would be the reaction of these daimyos?

The original duty of the Wa Kingdom was to monitor the high-ranking officials of the shogunate, especially those who supervised the various daimyos, which was somewhat similar to the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Tokugawa Iemitsu will give this task to Kaga Tadasumi.

On the other hand, the old middle Matsudaira Nobutsuna began to secretly prepare for the annexation of Korea. After all, it is a major event to annex Korea, whether it is the transfer of food, grass and materials, the transfer of soldiers, or the relocation of the Japanese people, it will take a long time to prepare.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally didn't know about this matter, and at this time, he also saw that it was about to reach the end of the year, so he began to summarize the situation this year.

In general, in the year of the Ming Dynasty, there was no major disaster, but there was only one time when the earth dragon turned over, and the impact on agriculture was not great. In this way, the food problem in the coming year will be well alleviated. This made Emperor Chongzhen feel that it should be that the Xiaoice River period was almost over, right? If that's the case, that's great!

At the end of last year, he won the battle of Guihua City, and swept away the Mongolian forces from Gansu to Shanxi in the Ming Dynasty and outside the Great Wall, so that the people in the border pass of the Ming Dynasty no longer suffered from military disasters.

Next, it is the reform of the Beijing camp, eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, and enriching the elite soldiers of the nine sides, which can be regarded as an achievement in the army.

In terms of economy, the glass factory was officially expanded, one was set up in each province, and the auction of shares has been auctioned astronomical on the side of Jingshi, and other provinces are expected to be similar.

In addition, Jianyu destroyed Korea, and although Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised by this, he was not sad. The destruction of North Korea is also a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, and after that, it can become the Korean province of the Ming Dynasty and directly enter the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, after all, that place is also a relatively important place.

Daming and Jianyu also fought twice, the first time, he was angry with the slave chief Taiji. As soon as this generation of heroes died, it was still very beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

In the second war, the Ming Dynasty swept away the power of the Mongolian tribes in the east, collected the Ao Han tribe, and went to the far north for the Ming to declare sovereignty. In addition, it also cut off the largest military alliance of Jianguo, and by the way, added blockage to Jianguo and increased the food pressure of Jianguo.

Looking back on all this, Emperor Chongzhen was generally very satisfied. According to the plan, he is weakening Jianyu step by step, and at the same time, he is also strengthening himself step by step. At least at this time, Emperor Chongzhen was no longer worried about the salary of the border army.

The promotion of sweet potatoes continued for another year and became a staple food in many places in Daming, preventing the possibility of famine, which can be regarded as a success in farming. In the future, the agricultural department will produce more and more results for the breeding of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn. Historical experience has proven that these crops can produce high-yielding seeds and become high-yielding crops. In this way, the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty will be better and better.

Nearly a year has passed, and according to the fact that the border passes are not collected at night, there are no new Mongol tribes to occupy the Hetao Plain. There were some fugitives who fled there to avoid paying taxes.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen decided that he would no longer use this piece of fat to hang the Mongols, and it was time to send an edict to Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, and Chen Qiyu, the governor of Xuanda, so that they could organize manpower to move some people to the Hetao Plain, build a naturalized city, and set up counties to open up wasteland and farm, so as to make up for the lack of cultivated land in the pass.

After thinking about these things for a while, Emperor Chongzhen focused his attention on military affairs again. The innovation of Jingying has been effective. This can be seen from this grassland battle. After continuing to train, if you want to use it next year, you shouldn't have many problems.

In addition, those who have been eliminated from the Beijing camp and cannot be used as combat soldiers are ready to be used in local engineering units, although they are only used for disaster prevention and disaster prevention, road and bridge construction, and so on, but they should also be rewarded for their meritorious deeds and give them some hope for promotion. Then, next year, we will carry out a larger reform of the military system of the guards.

By the way, there is also the war in Yunnan, although it is far away from the Beijing Division, but it has also passed for many years, and it can't be dragged on all the time.

Ma Xianglin's body has a Class A eavesdropping seed. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen knew that because of the topographical environment of Yunnan, although the alliance of the White Pole Army and other Tusi troops had no problem defeating the traitors, they had never been able to exterminate them.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen decided to send a holy decree to Mu Tianbo in Yunnan, asking Mu Tianbo to hurry up the time to resolve the rebellion, otherwise, he would be unhappy!

This is a threat, that is, Mu Tianbo wants to take out some of the money accumulated over hundreds of years. As long as the money is thrown out, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't believe that he can't exterminate the traitor, so he keeps dragging it out!

After thinking about things for a while, Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly called back to his senses by the sound, and when he heard it, it was the sound of "crackling" firecrackers coming from outside the Forbidden City.

"Another year is over!" He listened, stood up and stretched, and said with a smile.

When the rotating eunuch Fang Zhenghua heard this, he immediately responded with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise and martial, the people's lives don't know how much better, this firecracker sound, a few days ago, it has already begun!" When the slave and maid listened, their hearts were filled with joy! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile: "Oh, it's rare for me to be free, go, go out of the palace with me, and see how my people are doing?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Fang Zhenghua couldn't help but be stupid, he knew that such a thing would happen, so he wouldn't say such a thing.

Although Fang Zhenghua is in the palace, he is considered a skilled person, and it is said that he is the prototype of the undefeated East in later generations. But no matter what, the emperor's exit from the palace is a big deal. For them, if they can not go out of the palace, of course, it is best not to go out of the palace.

However, now that the emperor's Chrysostom has been opened, he does not dare to disobey, so he agrees and urgently orders to go down and prepare for the emperor's exit from the palace.

It didn't take long for Emperor Chongzhen to leave the palace in small clothes, and under the escort of the brocade guards, who were also plainclothes, he began to walk around Jingshi Street.

When he first crossed over, Emperor Chongzhen also went out of the palace to check the people's feelings. At that time, Jianyu was still raging in the land of Gyeonggi, the streets were deserted, and there were refugees or something, so it can be said that the prosperity of the legendary Ming Jingshi really disappointed him.

But this time, after Emperor Chongzhen left the palace, he found that what he saw and heard was completely different from before.

The New Year is approaching, and the streets and alleys of Daming are full of people, well, most of what you see is jubilant, laughter, and you can see it everywhere.

In order to attract customers, many businesses are also full of lights, and there is a New Year's atmosphere at a glance, and the guys are shouting, and the goods from all over the world can be seen.

Emperor Chongzhen noticed that the mansion with a little façade would set off firecrackers, and as soon as the crackling sound sounded, a group of children heard the sound and came to laugh and laugh!

……

For these situations, Emperor Chongzhen was very pleased. The Ming Dynasty should be such a popular sentiment, if it is like before, it would be too dereliction of duty to be the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor's eyebrows were all smiling, Fang Zhenghua, who was waiting on the side, complimented with a smile: "Master, the prosperous scene contained in the history books is nothing more than that!" ”

For this sycophant, Emperor Chongzhen gladly accepted it, but on the surface, he said lightly: "There is still a gap with the old man!" You see, most of the people can't afford to wear silk and satin! ”

When ......Fang Zhenghua and the brocade guards around him heard this, they were speechless, and they thought in their hearts, Your Majesty, you want all the people to wear silk and satin, how is this possible?

Thinking so in his heart, no one would be stupid enough to sweep the emperor's interest, so naturally he didn't dare to deny it to his face, but instead perfunctory, saying yes again and again.

For this, Emperor Chongzhen also saw it, but he didn't care. The vast majority of the people wore silk and satin, so what was so strange? As long as the productivity increases, the material is abundant, and the people have money, what is it to wear silk and satin!

Thinking so, he walked forward and continued to look at the jubilant scene in front of him. On some streets, there are jugglers or something, he will also stop to watch for a while, think it is good, naturally give a reward, and make a generous shot, which often attracts a burst of attention.

After watching a monkey trick and enjoying the feeling of a rich man for a while, he had just turned to leave, and was about to continue walking, when someone suddenly stopped in front of him. When the brocade guards dressed as housekeepers on the side saw it, they immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"This lord, I am the messenger of the Western God, and I see that the noble man seems to have a bad fortune in the coming year, so I am here to resolve one or two."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the sound, he saw a Ming man, dressed as a Western missionary, staring at him with a serious face, and he was stunned for a moment. If in later generations, this is very common, but in this Ming Dynasty, it is still a bit rare.

What this person said is a bit alarmist, but if it is changed to the words of an ordinary rich person, when he hears this, he would rather believe it or not, and will always ask a question to understand the situation. In this way, the purpose of the man in saying such things has been achieved.

Emperor Chongzhen knew this kind of trick, and couldn't help but sneer, do you know who I am, and dare to fool me?

But at this time, he was in a good mood, and he didn't want to pay attention to this kind of person, so he raised his legs and left, ready to continue to see the next place.

As soon as the man saw that Emperor Chongzhen ignored him, he immediately became anxious. According to their missionary practice, they generally attacked the officials and the wealthy first.

On the official's side, this person is not qualified, but if he is rich, he can try his luck.

At this time, seeing that the big fat sheep who had been staring at it for a long time didn't seem to be interested, and wanted to leave, he hurriedly raised his voice and said: "This donor, the art of turning stones into gold, are you interested?" ”

The art of turning stones into gold? When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he stopped, turned his head to look at the man, and thought to himself, who are you fooling, you dare to say that some stones turn into gold, believe it or not, I have done more chemical experiments than all of you combined!

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen standing still, the man couldn't help but be overjoyed. It seems that rich people are really interested in the money. So, he hurriedly seized the opportunity, immediately turned into a mysterious expression, and tried to get close to Emperor Chongzhen, but was still stopped by the plainclothes brocade guard, so he had to say to Emperor Chongzhen from a distance: "This benefactor, our Western God's art of turning stones into gold is famous, if you are sincere, if you have a god to make the adult assessment can enter the teaching, you can teach the art of turning stones into gold!" ”

As expected, alarmism, or exaggeration, are all for the sake of attracting people to the church.

In this era, most of the people of the Ming Dynasty still believe in Buddhism, among which the Ming Emperor, most of whom believe in Taoism, the most famous, is naturally the Jiajing Emperor who wants to live forever, and he cultivates in the palace all day long.

This Western teaching, Emperor Chongzhen also remembered, that missionary Tang Ruowang did everything possible to get close to the original Chongzhen Emperor, using Western gadgets as stepping stones, and was finally named an official of Qin Tianjian, translating almanacs for Daming, pushing astronomy, and making instruments. And for the Ming Dynasty cast artillery, and with this credit, but also asked the original Chongzhen Emperor to give "praise Tianxue" four words, make plaques and send them to churches around the country to hang.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little displeased. His vision, of course, is not like that of the Ming people, who are limited to what they see. However, according to the records of later generations, it is known that the Western missionaries of this era were more of a kind of Xiyi expansion, spiritual expansion, combined with Xiyi's musket and artillery colonization.

Do you contribute to the world? There is, for example, the spread of Western science and culture, but, more importantly, it brings blood and fire! Even in Daming, at the beginning, it was the same, but he was beaten down by Daming, and he didn't dare to use it anymore.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned, displeased in his heart, turned around and left, making the man very disappointed. I feel that over the years, the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty has become better and better, and this missionary event has become more and more difficult.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care, and continued to stroll for a while, and suddenly, Fang Zhenghua approached him and whispered: "Master, an acquaintance has come." ”
