Oxfordshire.

At this time, Catsy was patrolling a field with a group of Ming officers and soldiers.

He was now the first Governor of Oxfordshire, England, and his duty was to inspect the seizure of farmers' fields by the English elite and the bourgeoisie.

Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Zaiyuan to set up a patrol imperial history system, which was naturally the same as the Ming Dynasty's patrol imperial history, with the power to inspect local military, political, criminal law, finance, etc.

The inspector of the imperial history is the central official, and Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Zaiyuan to do it, which naturally means strengthening the centralization of power and weakening the autonomy of magistrates in England.

Catsy was an English Confucian scholar.

Influenced by the Ming Dynasty's policy of encouraging Confucian scholars to establish Confucianism in various places, coupled with the fact that Henry VIII wanted to ally with the Ming Dynasty not only to intermarry, but also to allow the Ming Confucian scholars to establish Confucian schools in England, there are still some Western Confucian students in England today.

And Catsy is naturally one of the group of Confucian students educated by these Confucian schools.

But Cattersi's Chinese is not very good, and even his attainments in Confucianism are only able to read through the Three Character Classic.

However, if Zhu Zaiyuan wants to establish Confucian rule, he can only let people like Cattersy be allowed to do so.

Catsy was from a commoner background, otherwise he would not have come to study Confucianism, not because the Confucian school is free and subsidized.

As for the enclosure movement between the elite and the bourgeoisie, Cattersy naturally hated it as an opposing class.

Therefore, now that he has become the governor of the imperial history, he is also very serious about the implementation of the anti-enclosure movement in Oxfordshire.

Baron Jonarle was directing his slaves to drive out farmers who had the right to use the communal fields, intending to turn the fertile fields into his own wool production base.

Unfortunately, Catsy appeared and asked the Ming army to help him shoot the enclosures.

The pair of Ming officers and soldiers who followed Catsy were originally on the order of Emperor Zhu Houzhao to assist the county inspectors in eliminating the lawbreakers according to the imperial history, but naturally they were not polite, and immediately raised their guns and shot at these bourgeois lackeys who were driving away the peasants.

Syllable!

Jonalet's son, Law, was also shot and fell to the ground instantly.

Jonale also found Inspector Scartesy and his Ming officers and soldiers, and was too busy fleeing to care about his son who had fallen to the ground and the land he was about to occupy.

The Ming officers and soldiers caught up with Jonalie and escorted him to Cattersy.

Cartersi interrogated Jonale, who immediately decided to execute him and confiscate all of Jonalet's estate and property as domestic.

Seeing this, Jonale broke open and scolded: "I am a baron, you lowly commoner, you are not qualified to execute me!" ”

Poof!

Catsy stabbed Jonalie to death with a bayonet: "What about the baron, this official is now the inspector of His Royal Highness the King, and he has the right to cut first and then play, and the anti-enclosure bill has long been clearly stipulated, and those who enclose the land, no matter who they are, will be killed!" ”

Naturally, Jonalie died violently on the spot!

Cattersy continued to say to the equally frightened farmers: "Everyone, please rest assured to farm, this is your land, you can still plant with confidence!" Don't worry about being encircled by others, the emperor and the king from the east will protect your land, and the king will issue an edict according to the emperor's decree to prohibit the sale of land! Therefore, no one has the right to take away your land use rights! ”

"Long live the Great Emperor and King!"

As soon as Catsy finished speaking, he shouted in English, this is what was required from above, and he had to do so.

The farmers in England were naturally very grateful to Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Zaiyuan for protecting their private property, and they shouted long live.

"Long live the Great Emperor and King!"

The Inspector is the sowing machine of royal benevolence, telling Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Zaiyuan that they will escort their lives, and also asking them to watch the royal court's punishment of inaction officials.

The Oxfordshire Chancellor was arrested and brought to the execution ground by Catsy for his inaction and even for helping the elite and the bourgeoisie to enclose the land, and Cartesy ordered the execution of the Oxfordshire Chancellor in the presence of the Oxfordshire people.

Coincidentally.

Such an example was played out in the counties of England.

Many of the capitalists of the English enclosure were lined up and shot one after another!

For a time, all the counties were bleeding.

The patrol sent by Zhu Zaiyuan was backed by the Ming army sent out by Zhu Houzhao, and they were very tough on the anti-enclosure policy, and even the magnates and bourgeoisie who had already enclosed the land and established livestock farms and plantations would be shot all!

Wool and sheep or other products are confiscated and cannot be disposed of, so they are simply destroyed.

If some of the enclosed land could not find its original owner for a while, it would also be confiscated, preferring to leave it deserted rather than allowing the powerful and the bourgeoisie to continue to operate.

If the elite and the bourgeoisie used the land to build factories, the factories would also be demolished.

When Zhu Houzhao learned from Zhu Zaiyuan that the anti-enclosure movement was quite effective, and even caused a sharp decline in the output value of England's industrial output and serious damage to the textile industry, he did not mention how proud he was.

"Very good, Yuan'er, you don't have to feel sorry for the destruction of the textile industry in England, as a civilian in England you don't have to worry about having no clothes to wear, the cheap textiles of the Ming Dynasty are enough to meet the cloth needs of these English civilians, if you really can't bear it, you can be kind to reduce the import tariffs of the Ming Dynasty, so that the civilians of England will not only not be damaged by the blow to the domestic capital industry, but will benefit because of your reduction in tariffs!"

Zhu Houzhao said.

Zhu Zaiyuan also did the same, he knew that England's textile industry had been monopolized by the powerful and capitalists, so as the king, he did not feel sorry for the bankruptcy of England's textile industry, he was indeed only worried that the bankruptcy of the textile industry would affect the people's favorability towards him, and now since the reduction of tariffs can be solved, he is naturally willing.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao's real purpose was to curb the development of capitalism in England.

As far as he knew, the embryonic stage of capitalism in England was because the bourgeoisie gradually embarked on the capitalist road because the bourgeoisie obtained the primitive accumulation of capital through the enclosure movement.

Now that he has used a strong executive order to stop the enclosure movement in England, it is naturally possible to prevent England from taking the capitalist road.

However, the anti-enclosure movement that Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Zaiyuan to implement was just in England in this era, and it was defending the interests of the vast number of civilians in England.

Therefore, the anti-enclosure movement was supported by many civilians, so that the favorability of King Zhu Zaiyuan and even Emperor Zhu Houzhao in England increased rapidly.

What Zhu Houzhao wanted to do was to unite the common people in England to curb the development of the bourgeoisie, and the anti-enclosure movement was only one aspect, and it was only a temporary policy to protect the interests of the common people.

Now the imperial examination system that he and his son Zhu Zaiyuan want to establish is the real use of the desire of the commoners to become a nobleman to buy the commoners and use the commoners to rule the whole of England for a long time.

England is not large, less than a political secretary of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty already has a mature imperial examination system.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Zhu Houzhao to let Zhu Zaiyuan copy the imperial examination system in England.

When the commoners of England learned that they could pass the examination to become a prince and noble, they all felt that this was what a wise king of England should do.

Rao is some bourgeoisie can't help but feel moved by this, knowing that in the past, to become a kingdom official, you could basically only be a nobleman.

Of course, the establishment of the imperial examination system by the king of England was opposed by many elites and bourgeoisie, and their opposition was based on the fact that the imperial examination system was based on Eastern Confucianism, not the doctrine of the state religion, and that it was a request that the common people should not be religious, and that they were betraying the church.

However, Zhu Zaiyuan personally explained that the purpose of using Oriental Confucianism as the content of the investigation was to better carry out secular rule, and did not prohibit the freedom of religious belief among the common people.

In any case, because you can become an official or even a nobleman after passing the examination, there are still many students who actively refer to it when the districts of each county in England begin to conduct the college examination according to their will.

Because the territory of England is not large, there are only four kinds of imperial examination system in England, such as the hospital examination, the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination, and there is no county examination and government examination under the Daming Yuan examination.

The difficulty of the imperial examination is naturally not great, even if you can take the exam, as long as you can recite the Four Books and Five Classics, you can become an English Jinshi.

But this did allow Zhu Zaiyuan to have the first batch of commoner class scholars who could be appointed, which was undoubtedly conducive to the English royal family to get rid of the purpose of relying on the powerful and big capitalists to rule.

The establishment of the imperial examination system naturally also promoted the development of Confucianism in England, and a large number of Confucian schools began to be established.

Zhu Zaiyuan even personally funded the establishment of the Guozijian of England, and appointed Xu Wei as the Guozijian to further strengthen Confucian rule over England.

……

Of course.

Zhu Houzhao made Zhu Zaiyuan so tough to promote the anti-enclosure movement and Confucian rule in England, naturally it was impossible to be without obstacles.

Even not long after Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Zaiyuan to forcibly pass the "Anti-Enclosure Bill" in Parliament, the elites and bourgeoisie throughout England knew about the incident and showed great anger at King Zhu Zaiyuan's behavior, even including some high-ranking generals of the royal army.

Even Mary I's granddaughter, Catherine, began to collude with her lover, the MP and Justice Reeling, and began to call on members of Parliament to convene a parliament without the participation of King Zhu Zaiyuan.

The main theme of this council was to depose the king on the grounds that King Zhu Jae-yuan was a pagan and did not have the legitimacy to become king of England.

"Miss Catherine, now except for Roger and the king's newly appointed Xu Wei, all the councillors have expressed their willingness to participate in the parliament that deposes the king.

Leylin asked Catherine.

Catherine slapped the table angrily: "Roger has betrayed the doctrine and is willing to be the king's lackey, he is not qualified to be the speaker of the House of Lords again!" That Xu Wei, an Oriental, what qualifications does he have to serve as the speaker of the House of Commons! The parliament does not need to look for them, I will recommend you to be the speaker of the House of Lords, and the archbishop will be the speaker of the House of Commons, and the parliament will be convened directly! ”

Soon.

The parliamentary table without the Speaker of the House of Lords and the Speaker of the House of Commons was held as scheduled.

Catherine also appeared in parliament this time, but none of the members objected at this time.

Catherine shouted directly at the assembly: "You must have understood that our king has not only failed to become a devout believer, but is the embodiment of the devil, Satan!" And Roger has obviously betrayed God and become the king's lackey, and that Xu Wei is not qualified to be our speaker, so Catherine suggested today that the council should make Leylin the speaker of the House of Lords and Archbishop Jian Zhong the speaker of the House of Commons, can you agree! ”

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

Lei Lin and Jian Zhong are both supporters of the enclosure movement, and these parliamentarians naturally have no opinion.

At the same time, Catherine said, "Then you will agree to the election of Miss Ben as the new King of England?" ”

Naturally, all members of the parliament agreed.

Soon.

The parliament passed a bill to remove King Zhu Zaiyuan and reappoint Catherine as the new king, and Archbishop Jian Zhong even immediately crowned Catherine.

……

"This is a rebellion! Outright rebellion! ”

Zhu Houzhao knew about this matter in Zhu Zaiyuan and directly determined this matter, and at this time, Xu Wei ran in and hurriedly said: "The Emperor and His Royal Highness the King, the Earl of Essex, Catherine's supporter, led the army less than five miles away from the palace, and threatened to drive the Emperor and His Royal Highness the King away from the palace, and arrest and interrogate them, and punish the Emperor and His Royal Highness the King for indiscriminate killing and blasphemy!" ”

Seeing this, Zhu Zaiyuan hurriedly asked, "Father, what should I do?" ”

"Don't be afraid, it's not like we don't have an army in our hands, how many soldiers and horses does this rebel army led by the Earl of Essex have?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

Xu Wei said: "According to the people of the Pro-Health Division, there are about 10,000! ”

"It seems that the power of the elites and bourgeoisie in England is really not to be underestimated, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can be assembled in such a short time, if it is not for the protection of 20,000 officers and soldiers, relying only on the royal army, there is really no guarantee that the king can oppose these vested interests, not to mention, who knows if these royal armies will also have supporters of the enclosure movement."

As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao instructed Qi Jiguang, the chief officer of the Praetorian Guard: "Directly mobilize the Praetorian Guard, accept the fortifications of the royal army around the palace, and prepare for battle!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao instructed Zhu Zaiyuan again: "Yuan'er, in addition to your own guards, let your royal army kill the members of the parliament and that Miss Catherine, now, they are all rebels, and they should be punished and punished by Ling Chi to show the authority of the king." ”

Zhu Zaiyuan couldn't help asking: "But Father, I'm a little worried that some of them will take advantage of this opportunity to defect!" ”

"Don't be afraid to defect! There are only more than 10,000 people, even if all of them defect, they can't pose a threat to my Ming Praetorian Guard, I asked you to do this to try their loyalty, and not to kill a few rebels of the royal family officers and soldiers, do you dare to use it in the future? ”

Zhu Houzhao asked.

Zhu Zaiyuan heard Zhu Houzhao say this, and also felt that what his father said was right, so he asked Roger to do what Zhu Houzhao wanted.

In addition, Zhu Houzhao also said: "Next, these people will definitely organize a parliament, you now immediately declare to the entire people of England that the parliament is a rebel organization, they intend to prevent the anti-enclosure policy, help selfish businessmen and unscrupulous aristocrats to seize the interests of the common people, let the people know who to support, in addition, it is also necessary to set up a propaganda department!" ”
