Without any suspense, the declaration was successfully adopted at the Four People's Congress.

More than eighty percent in favor.

For this result, the other members of the cabinet who were also present did not have any objection, this was discussed by Yang Qing and Zhang Guowei a long time ago, Donglin Qunxian didn't care if these issues were passed according to Yang Qing's wishes, and they didn't mind helping Yang Qing persuade Zhu Cihong to accept it.

As long as Yang Qing can take the driver, the others are not worth mentioning.

As long as Zhu Cihong regains power......

Or it can also be said that Donglin Qunxian regained power, these things can be overturned with a holy decree, in the end, everything depends on who the power is, and the iron coupons can be recovered, not to mention the resolution of the Four People's Congress. Yang Qing elevated this body, in the final analysis, it is just a non-governmental advisory body, theoretically without any power, and the current power of the Four People's Congress only comes from Yang Qing's support. Without Yang Qing's support, what qualifications do you common people have to criticize the imperial court, let alone ask the emperor to obey you.

It's a joke!

In this way, the declaration of the world was voted on, and then it will be sent to Chang'an as soon as possible.

And Gu Xichou and Shui Tailiang of Chang'an will be responsible for persuading Zhu Cihong to accept it, and turn it into a holy decree to the world, and then send it back to Nanjing to be responsible for the execution of the seal, and from then on it will become a document with the highest legal effect and send it to all places to announce to the people.

For a period of time in the future, such resolutions will continue to be sent to Chang'an.

Then repeat the process over and over again.

As long as he accepts these chains and is willing to come back with the chains as a puppet, then Yang Qing will let the household department issue special treasury bonds in the form of national bonds, and in the name of supporting the Qin King's western expedition, this is the military expenditure added by the household department to the Qin domain, in order to support the Qin king's recovery of the Western Regions......

Saying that Yang Qing clings to this point, it is indeed very speechless.

But that's what he did.

All the money and food given to Li Zicheng before were all in the name of King Qin's Western Expedition, and his propaganda was really believed at least in those well-informed places, which is not surprising, with the speed of information dissemination in this era, I just don't know that Chongzhen has crossed to the south! And Li Zicheng's performance during this period is indeed in line with his propaganda, the Western Expeditionary Army led by Li Laiheng went out of Jiayu Pass with 20,000 musketeers and cavalry, and successfully captured Hami, Shazhouwei, Chijinwei and other places in the east of the Yarkand Khanate. In addition to the southernmost Aduan and Quxian two guards, the seven guards of the original Ming Guanxi were actually occupied by the Mongolian herdsmen of Gu Shi Khan, who submitted to Li Zicheng, and the other five guards with Hamiwei as the core were all included in the territory of the Qin domain.

The Yarkand cavalry, which counterattacked eastward from Turpan, was defeated by Li Laiheng with camel city tactics.

The next target is Turpan.

However, it is not necessary to wait until Turpan is conquered, in fact, Hami is equivalent to opening up the land connection with the Dzungar Department, and from Hami to the north out of the East Tianshan Mountains is the nomadic area of Buddhism and Mongolia. However, the Yarkand army in Turpan was there and could attack north at any time to cut off the trade line, so it was still necessary to take Turpan for the sake of safety, but the situation of joint operations between the Dzungar Ministry and Li Zicheng had already formed.

By the time Li Laiheng conquered Hami, the Buddhist-Mongol coalition army of the Dzungar tribe had also attacked eastward from the Ili River Valley, sweeping away the Yarkand Khanate's control area in the eastern part of the Ili River Valley.

The Yarkand had to face them first.

This is currently the strongest force in the Western Regions, to put it bluntly, the alliance of cities in southern Xinjiang, once the Dzungar Department crosses the Southern Tianshan Mountains, those small oasis areas formed by the meltwater of the snow-capped mountains will easily be cut off from the middle. In this case, the Yarkand people simply did not have the energy to deal with the aggressive attack of the Shun army in the east, and Li Laiheng's capture of Turpan can be said to be without suspense, once he conquered Turpan, then the Yarkand Khanate was basically finished. As long as Li Zicheng buys the Dzungar Ministry with arms and constantly crosses the Tianshan Mountains to attack and harass, he can directly play Yarkand, and the main expansion direction of the Dzungar Department is Kazakhstan, and at the same time defend the Russians behind it, and Li Zicheng's expansion in southern Xinjiang will not form a conflict.

As long as Li Zicheng took Turpan and then tuntian in this area, he could cooperate with the Dzungar Ministry to control the trade route to Russia.

The line is simple.

It was to transport the goods, especially tea, which was most desired for the Russians, directly to the upper reaches of the Irtysh by pack caravans, and then put it all the way down to Tyumen, and the rest was the business of the Russians. In this way, the Sino-Russian trade route that originally ran from Shanxi to the north and passed through Mongolia was useless, and this line needed to cross the whole of Siberia, which could not be compared with the water transportation line, which meant that Dolgon lost its trade and blood. It also emptied the traditional Silk Road in southern Xinjiang, where it was supposed to reach the Caspian Sea and then cross the Caspian Sea into the Volga River, but the Dzungar Department was shorter, and the Russian ships could go up the river to Altai in history, so that the gods of Central Asia also lost the profits of the trade route.

The gold and silver of the Russians will continue to be transferred from Yekaterinburg, Tyumen, to the Irtysh River, and a steady stream of blood will be transfused into the hands of Li Zicheng.

Of course, in the end, it was in the hands of Yang Qing.

This is the economic plan in the evil book that Yang Qing gave Li Zicheng.

Seek development through trade between Ming and Russia.

Our Qing and Jin merchants are rich and rival the country, but it all depends on the blood transfusion of the Russians, Li Zicheng can take over this role, which is also the reason why Li Zicheng must cooperate with him at present, Li Zicheng, who lacks food, must rely on Yang Qing's blood transfusion for foreign expansion, as long as Yang Qing is willing to pay, he does not mind sending Zhu Cihong back.

As long as Dorgon is still around, Yang Qing will always be friendly with him.

The second topic of the Four People's Congress, which was the original topic of this congress, was the reform of the imperial examination system, and Yang Qing's imperial examination reform plan was sent to those delegates after the first congress. He gave the delegates five days to discuss the proposal, and after five days, they voted on the reform plan of the imperial examination one by one, and finally came up with a definite plan. However, the resistance will not be too great, and even the vast majority of the scholars' deputies support the reform, that is, they have differences on some details, especially the issue of the qualifications of other subjects, mainly because the scholars' representatives want to increase the difficulty of the text, while the other deputies want to lower the threshold of the text.

It's about who is more likely to be lifted.

According to Yang Qing's plan, the new imperial examination will be divided into five subjects: literature, agriculture, industry, commerce, and medicine, and the local government will be abolished and changed into an examination institute, and the selection of talents and people will be selected by each subject, and the procedure will be the same as in the past.

But the martial arts were cancelled.

In fact, the martial arts of the imperial court are useless at all, and almost none of the famous generals on the battlefield are taken by the martial arts examination, so they are simply abolished, but the army and naval academies are set up separately, and the cadets are awarded the rank of junior officers after graduation, and then thrown into the army to exercise and climb up step by step.

In short, this has nothing to do with the imperial examination.

This is within the army, and the principal of the military academy is part-time by the metropolitan governor, and the actual responsibility is the school superintendent.

At present, what the scholars are striving for is to set the literary threshold for miscellaneous subjects a little higher, after all, miscellaneous subjects must also be able to write articles, and those who want to be officials in the future will definitely not be able to write articles well. In this way, what those poor talents have learned will be useful, and those who are only literate but have limited literary skills will definitely not be able to compete with the poor talents at this point.

The number of the latter is not small.

In other words, the Ming government and the people add up to more than 2,000 academies!

And that's not even counting Mr. Teach's private school.

Not to mention the flooding.

Illiterate and look fart!

At least in the city, literacy is not uncommon, the Ming Dynasty had a similar compulsory school order, and even some magistrates in order to gain fame, directly ordered that children over eight years old must go to school, otherwise their fathers and brothers will be punished, those who have gone to school, but did not rely on Xiucai, and then flow into all walks of life, are the main competitors of poor Xiucai.

Therefore, this reform plan will take some time to solve it gradually.

Fortunately, in principle, they all accept reform.

Donglin Qunxian still endures, but what is surprising is that those gentry have no real signs of resistance to the abolition order, at least where this order has been transmitted for now, of course, cursing Yang Qing for bringing disaster to the country and the people is inevitable, but there is not much to do about it. However, the local officials only conveyed this order, as for what to do to implement the abolition order, this is also not, and those officials will not give Yang Qing such a scene when they are idle, at least in a short period of time, regardless of the official gentry, they are ready to fight in a non-violent and non-cooperative way.

Of course, this is to be expected.

What Yang Qing needs is time, what he needs is the continuous propaganda of the abolition order, and if such an order in this era wants to be truly conveyed, even if his propaganda machine is fully activated, it will take a long time.

At present, it is only in the vicinity of Nanjing, and in some places under the influence of newspapers, that this order can be known, and even the gentry do not know about it outside this range. And these known places are basically stationed near the Ming army or militia, and those gentry will not lose their minds without real compulsory implementation. In short, for the abolition of slavery, what Yang Qing needs is continuous publicity, so that all those slaves and maids know, as for the mandatory implementation, it will have to wait for the publicity to be almost over.

It's definitely not going to be good.

Now we're just getting started.

The gentry are also waiting for the opportunity, and they will not be stupid enough to pull the flag directly in the heat of the brain, they have to plan and wait for the opportunity.

This timing is also Zhu Cihong.

Yang Qing is not hot-headed, he suddenly issued the abolition order like crazy The purpose of his abolition order was his national debt, and he used the abolition order to draw those gentry to make up this huge amount of money. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to raise so much money even if he issued national bonds, and he used the abolition order to whip him and force those gentry to work together to get Zhu Cihong in order to fight with him.

And then......

The gentry rebelled because of the abolition of slavery, and even their homes were raided, does he need to continue to pay this national debt in the future?
