The sketches of the map drawn by Li Tianyang were roughly divided according to the 34 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions that he could remember.

Therefore, in many territories, there is a big difference from the maps of later generations, such as Tianjin Wei was directly assigned to Hebei Province by Li Tianyang, and Hebei Province also has a lot of Mongolian grassland territory, which is the part of the Mongolian grassland that Hongmen now controls.

Based on the current Hongmen territory of China, excluding Qiongzhou and Dayuan Island, which are far above the ocean, Li Tianyang's own sketch shows that the provinces owned by Hongmen are actually only Hebei, Liaoning, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and a part of Gansu, and a small part of Shandong and Henan.

"What do you mean, Master? Is it necessary to start disrupting the administrative map of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years at such a time? ”

Hong Chengchou was quite puzzled, holding this sketch and asking.

"I'm going to take our backbone team from Dayuan Island out of Dayuan Island and move to the Jingshi!"

Li Tianyang raised his head and said meaningfully, which can be said to be earth-shattering.

“……”

Although Hong Chengchou was prepared in his heart, when Li Tianyang said this decision by himself at this time, Hong Chengchou was still shocked.

Since Hongmen has embarked on the road of fighting for hegemony in the world, in fact, Li Tianyang and the others have already thought of such a day.

Dayuan Island and Luzon Islands are of course the foundation of Hongmen's beginnings, and they also have a pivotal position in Hongmen's current system, but when the land of China is about to enter a life-and-death decisive battle, as the spiritual leader of Hongmen, Li Tianyang is no longer suitable to continue to stay on Dayuan Island.

Whether in terms of spiritual encouragement or actual leadership, Li Tianyang's role in staying on the safe island of Dayuan Island is getting smaller and smaller.

However, if we start talking about the relocation of the political center to the royal capital of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, there will be a significant spiritual encouragement for the soldiers who are fighting and fighting underneath, or for the forces that are attached to the existence of Hongmen and add bargaining chips to Hongmen.

Of course, Li Tianyang and they are not only thinking about these things, what he cares about is that with the expansion of the territory in China now, the status of Dayuan Island in the Hongmen system is gradually shrinking, since Hongmen will take the road of fighting for the world in the future, then if Li Tianyang himself still shrinks on Dayuan Island, it will make outsiders not see his determination.

Also, in the territory of the northern provinces that Hongmen now occupies, the military power is controlled by Wu Jie, and the civil power is presided over by Zhang Yuyan.

Li Tianyang can't always be like this, handing over such huge power to only Wu Jie and Zhang Yuyan, although the Hongmen system, whether it is the army or the government department, has the means to supervise and balance these two people, but the system is always dead, and the people who implement these systems are alive, and no one can guarantee that they can really give these two prosecutors with great power how much checks and balances they have.

"Now that we have come to this point, the road we have to walk next will be very long and difficult, as the master of the Hongmen, I can't always hide on this safe island, to watch and listen to the Hongmen brothers on the frontline battlefield!"

"It's also time for the people in the world to see my determination and will Li Tianyang!"

Hong Chengchou's mind turned white, and his wise eyes were no longer so profound, but revealed all kinds of emotions: relief and joy, but also guilt and regret, as well as a deep helplessness.

In the past few years on Hongmen Dayuan Island, it can be said that Hong Chengchou has lived the most leisurely and comfortable time, Hongmen secretly took his relatives to the island to reunite with him, and made up for his regrets left by his pursuit of power and responsibility over the years.

However, after all, she Hong Chengchou is also a serious Confucian disciple who has been familiar with poetry and books for decades, although he was once abandoned by the Ming Dynasty and was inspected by the unkind Zhu Youzhen? abandoned it, but he still retained a little bit in his heart, for the beauty of Daming.

Now, he followed Li Tianyang to sit on Dayuan Island, formulated all kinds of unfavorable plans to the Ming Dynasty, and sent a large army to attack and occupy the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but at least he can deceive himself and comfort himself: at least, he Hong Chengchou did not really set foot in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and he has been forbearance not to advise Li Tianyang and set the capital of the capital.

But now, Li Tianyang himself raised this matter, in fact, there is no need for Li Tianyang to say anything, Hong Chengchou has already understood that Li Tianyang's decision is impossible to change, and even Hong Chengchou himself feels ashamed, and did not first propose to Li Tianyang this advice that should have been proposed by him a long time ago.

Since Li Tianyang wants to go north to Beijing, Hong Chengchou, as the head of the secretariat, must not be able to escape the fate of going north.

"But does this have anything to do with your sketching?"

Hong Chengchou quickly cleaned up his complicated mood and returned to the topic.

"That's a good question!"

Li Tianyang laughed, as if Hong Chengchou's question had already been asked to his heart.

"Mr. Hong has been in my Hongmen for a long time, do you have any experience of the current political system of my Hongmen?"

The emerging words of politics and system are all new words that Hong Chengchou began to come into contact with after joining Hongmen, and they are also some rare contributions of Li Tianyang, a later traveler.

Even now, Hong Chengchou is a little puzzled by why Li Tianyang, a person who obviously has great power and can be called the dictator of Hongmen, can make politics, a thing that should be kept secret, public, so that the general public can contact and understand.

"The separation of powers, in the old man's view, is really a historical precedent, a model of people's livelihood, if it can really be established by the master of the door and extended, it will be able to benefit the foundation of the Chinese people for all generations!"

The separation of powers, which can be regarded as an emerging product even in the Western Kingdom, has become the first choice of Li Tianyang, a big man, and this choice alone is an important reason why Hong Chengchou is willing to work for Li Tianyang.

"My Confucian disciples pursue the great harmony of the world, but how have they really been realized for thousands of years, and I can't even see the slightest hope of the great harmony of the world!"

"But if the system of separation of powers of the sect master is established, it is actually the same as the goal pursued by my Confucian disciples, but it is similar!"

Hong Chengchou sincerely admired the open-mindedness of Li Tianyang, the leader, although he didn't know if Li Tianyang, the founder of Hongmen, who single-handedly established Hongmen, would regret it at the last moment and return to the old path before the rulers of China, but at least in Hong Chengchou's view, Li Tianyang has not shown any signs of wanting to regret it.

"The separation of powers, it sounds good, but if you really want to establish this political system step by step, it is even more difficult for me Li Tian to raise the old than to defeat him Zhu Daming Dynasty."

"And what is in front of me Li Tianyang is from the position I am in now, and it is corrupting and tempting me all the time."

"Power is a good thing, according to what your Confucians say: the wrath of the Son of Heaven is buried in millions of corpses and thousands of miles of blood."

"For that dragon chair, for thousands of years, countless heroes and heroes in China have stepped into it, setting off countless bloody storms, and the last one who succeeded, it was just the dozen dynasties in the history books."

"But in the end, the descendants of heroes or heroes don't want to give up the power in their hands to others, just as we are about to take this country from the hands of the Ming Zhu Dynasty."

"I, Li Tianyang, am not a good believer, nor a saint, where can I feel the scenery of my current position, as long as I give an order, millions of people in my Hongmen will definitely give everything they have because of my order."

"Mr. Hong, do you know, in fact, I have always been afraid that I will be eroded by this power in my hands and finally become its slave!"

Li Tianyang lost his previous vigor and self-confidence, and looked up at Hong Chengchou's eyes, but there was still a deep loneliness.

"Door Master!"

Hong Chengchou seemed to know Li Tianyang for the first time, excited but with a little more respect, and wanted to take the opportunity to express his heartfelt respect: "It's me, the head of the secretariat, who is not competent enough, and I can't find such a big worry in your heart, the door master, it's really a dereliction of duty!" ”

"No wonder you, the influence of the monster of power, other people are in it, and I am just an outlier among thousands of victims!"

"Don't tell you Mr. Hong, I am now watching the Zhu dynasty fail step by step, fantasizing about the life and death choices that their royal family will face next, and the first thing that comes to mind is not joy and excitement, but a deep sadness."

"If my Hongmen continues to follow the old path that China has been taking for thousands of years, even if I, Li Tianyang, now take this piece of the country for my Li family with my own strength, but in the next few hundred years, I am afraid that there will be some other heroic heroes such as the Liu family and the Zhang family who will rise up and replace my Li family!"

"When the time comes, isn't the final result of my Li family's disciples what their Zhu family is suffering from now? It could even be worse! ”

"Thinking about it this way, then what is the reason why I, Li Tianyang, have worked hard for so many years, caused so many incidents and sacrificed so many brothers and people? Could it be that it is just to send my descendants of Li Tianyang to the guillotine? ”

I'm afraid that there has never been a hero-like figure like Li Tianyang now, and before he succeeded, he had already begun to plan what would happen hundreds of years after him.

Listening to what Li Tianyang said happily, Hong Chengchou was more and more impressed by this master who was much younger than him!

"If the final result can't be changed, then I, Li Tianyang, would prefer to let his Zhu dynasty continue, and let my Li Tianyang's children live in the folk normally and freely, maybe this is the best explanation for them!"

"But, Master!"

Hong Chengchou would not let Li Tianyang continue to be depressed like this, and hurriedly bowed down and persuaded him: "Since people have embarked on this road, we can only go one way to the dark, and there is no way back." ”

"I know!"

Li Tianyang interrupted Hong Chengchou's persuasion and continued: "Therefore, from now on, I need to lay a solid foundation for the separation of powers in the land controlled by my Hongmen, and prepare for the future future of my Li family's children. ”

"Mr. Hong, do you know what I read when I read history?"

Li Tianyang suddenly raised his head and asked Hong Chengchou a question.

Li Tianyang likes to read history, in fact, it is not a long-term habit, but as he gets older, he gradually has a wise choice.

Anyway, in the eyes of Hong Chengchou, the head of the secretariat, Li Tianyang is willing to cultivate himself so much, and he is happy to see it.

"The subordinates are dull and can't guess!"

Unconsciously, Hong Chengchou has always regarded himself as an old man in front of Li Tianyang before, but now he has begun to consciously regard himself as a subordinate, and he doesn't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing for Li Tianyang.

Li Tianyang was a little late-sighted, and he hadn't noticed it because Hong Chengchou began to change his identity, and he said his opinion: "The book says: With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; With the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. ”

"I haven't been studying history for a long time, but I have gained a few points."

"Throughout thousands of years of Chinese history, there has never been a dynasty hegemony that can inherit more than 300 years of future generations, why many dynasties will eventually sink in more than 200 years."

"Some people say that it is because of the corruption of the eunuchs; Some people say that it is the mediocrity of the saints; Some people say that it is a natural and man-made disaster. ”

"But in my opinion, it's because of the system!"

"Between the imperial power and you Confucianism, for so many years, it has actually been in a state of contradiction!"

"You Confucianists are parasitic under the imperial power, and you need to use the imperial dynasty to achieve the vision of universal harmony that you have learned from books, or the pursuit of power, status and other interests in your own scholars' hearts."

"And what the imperial power needs is the ability of your Confucian disciples to help them consolidate the power in their hands and stabilize the lives of all living beings in the world, so as to achieve the ambition of inheriting all generations."

"If the royal family uses you, it must pay the price for using you, give you a class of scholars, great privileges, and share the power in their hands."

"But they can't let go too much power to empty you, lest you occupy the dove's nest and finally shout that their royal family will lose its own status."

"And you Confucian literati need a stage to show your strengths in order to realize the ideals you have pursued for countless years, as well as your selfish desires."

"In the beginning, the imperial power will be your help, because without them there is no power in your hands; But when your power position reaches a certain height, the high imperial power will become a constraint for all of you, because it is impossible for the royal family to let you continue to expand your strength. ”
