For Zhu Zhanji, from the moment the telephone and wireless telegraph were developed, the general trend of unification of the Ming Dynasty was unstoppable.

Any figure who goes against the trend will be swept into the garbage heap of history, even if the Qin Emperor and Tang Sect are resurrected, they cannot be reversed.

In the original history, the low productivity of ancient times and the weak jurisdiction of the central government over the localities were difficult problems that could not be solved by all dynasties.

But when the telephone and the telegraph brought together the upper and lower strata of the country, no one could have a disruptive effect in a mature system of governance.

Unless this system has been completely corrupted from the top down, from the inside out.

Zhu Zhanji spent several decades re-establishing a new education system, a new official system, a new military system, and a new ideological system for the Ming Dynasty.

When these systems are carefully arranged by him, they begin to operate benignly on their own, at this time, even he is difficult to correct, at most he can only correct the direction.

It's like a car, if a part breaks, you have to fix it. But if it works well, at this time, you just need to master the steering wheel.

Daming is now a well-oiled car.

The power of the two royal palaces in Xizhou is too great, and there are historical reasons for this. Because there were too many Kunlun slaves on the Western Continent at the beginning, it would be difficult to develop there without enhancing their strength.

At the beginning, more palaces were not arranged to go to Xizhou, mainly because the central government's management of Xizhou was not enough, and it was easy to raise tigers.

Now, with wireless telegraphy and telephone, the central government's control over local governments and the military will directly rise to another level.

At this time, there is no fear of such a situation.

It's like a car running out of gas, knowing that the only gas station has bad oil, but in order to be able to move forward, you can only add a little more to move forward.

When you get to the next gas station, of course, you have to quickly fill up the gas.

There are only two royal palaces in Xizhou, although it will cause their power to expand at first. But it is much easier to deal with two royal mansions than to deal with seven or eight royal mansions.

No matter how powerful these two royal palaces are, in the face of the mighty historical trend, they can only go with the flow, otherwise they will be swept away by the general trend.

His role with the officials is to make this collision lighter and have less impact on society.

He sent Xie Yun to Xizhou, also believing that Xie Yun would be able to handle this matter.

For Xie Yun, Zhu Zhanji can despise the enemy in terms of strategy, but as the executor of tactics, he must pay attention to the enemy.

When he left Daming, his father's sentence of "walking thin and deep" made him remember it.

He knew very well that it was a very risky thing to get involved in the "housework" of the royal family.

Even if he is doing a lot of good things now, he will not be good when the royal family members are released.

However, he believes in His Majesty today. Because he has been with this majesty for more than ten years, he clearly knows that his majesty is broad-minded and tolerant and preferential to dedicated ministers.

Throughout the ages, many emperors have been suspicious and fickle, and unsympathetic. But this majesty has never treated anyone badly.

From the Yongle Dynasty to the present more than 50 years, unless the ministers are willing to degenerate and violate the law and discipline, almost all the ministers who have not violated the law have started and finished well.

And Xie Yun also has an advantage, that is, he has a good relationship with the current grandson Zhu Jianshen, except for the grandson's teacher Peng Shi, he Xie Yun is the closest to the grandson.

He is also the master of Zhu Youzhang, the son of the grandson, Zhu Youzhang is ten years old this year, smart and clever, and is highly valued by His Majesty and the grandson.

Therefore, when the crown prince has passed away and the grandson will succeed to the throne in the future, he does not have too much to worry about.

There are no worries, which is where Xie Yun's confidence lies in daring to let go.

Hanju City. Han Wangfu.

When the sun set, all the invited dignitaries and nobles in Hanzhou City took carriages and automobiles respectively to the Han Palace, which was the most luxurious regulation in the city.

In addition to receiving about 10% of the tax revenue of the whole territory every year, the Han Dynasty itself was engaged in the slave trade, trade with Europe, trade with the Arabs, and trade with the Ming Dynasty.

Over the years, he has gone through four Han kings and accumulated a lot of wealth.

In addition to raising private soldiers, the Han Wangfu spent most of its money on the family's base camp, which was built bigger and bigger.

Although in terms of regulation, the Han Palace's Mansion did not exceed the rules of the Prince's Mansion, but in terms of floor area, it was not smaller than the imperial palace of Yingtianfu.

At first, there were many ministers who kept denouncing, but after Zhu Zhanji personally built the Edo Palace for the king of Toei, all the officials died down.

Because the area of the Dongying Palace is not smaller than the palace of Yingtianfu at all, but the building is a little smaller.

The Han Palaces seem to understand the bottom line of the imperial court, they strictly abide by the rules of the Prince's Palace, and every hall does not exceed the rules, but the area is getting bigger and bigger.

Xie Yun got off the car at the gate of the Han Palace, changed to the carriage prepared by the Han Palace, and walked for half a cup of tea before arriving at the main hall of the Han Palace.

Cai Kang, who was sitting next to him, glanced at the groom who was driving, and said softly: "The north of the Han Wangfu is the railway station, and the south is the inner harbor wharf, this area covers an area of three million square meters, and in terms of territory, it is much larger than the imperial palace of Yingtianfu. ”

Xie Yun didn't seem to pay attention to this aspect, and looked at the animals swimming freely in the courtyard with some curiosity. After listening to Cai Kang's words, he smiled and said: "As long as the building regulations of the Han Palace's palace do not exceed the palace, even if it covers an area of more than ten miles, you don't have to care." I think it's interesting to have a zoo in the palace. ”

Cai Kang said: "Although Hanzhou City is a natural harbor, there is no big river. The previous Han king was going to move the city of Hanzhou to the bank of the Han River, 300 miles to the south, and build a hydropower station there, but he was reluctant to make up his mind about this Han palace. ”

Although Xie Yunming knew that he deliberately brought up this topic in front of the guards of the Han Palace, he startled the snake. But he didn't think he needed to play any kind of machination.

For people of their level, intrigue and intrigue are just a small way, and it is impossible to achieve great things by relying on intrigue and intrigues.

The trend of the world is like the tide of the tide, mighty and mighty, and the upright and upright conspiracy is the basis for the achievement of great things.

So he just smiled and said, "Now that King Han has his own considerations, we don't need to worry about them." ”

Insight Yun was reluctant to talk about this, Cai Kang understood, stopped stirring up the topic, and quietly watched a group of deer come to the carriage without fear, as if they wanted the people in the carriage to feed them.

The carriage arrived at the main hall of the Han Palace, and more than ten members of the Han Palace, headed by Zhu Jianzhu, were at home, as well as the subordinate officials of the palace greeted them outside the main hall

。

On Xie Yun's side, the officials of various ministries who accompanied him on the mission, plus the political envoys, judges, navy, and other officials at all levels, were even more numerous.

The two sides saluted each other in turn, and the lower-level personnel were introduced into the second courtyard, and Xie Yun and them were welcomed into the hall.

June is still the rainy season here in Hanzhou City, and dozens of large tents have been pulled on the courtyard of the Second Courtyard, blocking the entire sky.

Under the tent, an electric light was drawn, and the light was bright.

However, the power supply here is limited, and the voltage is not enough, so you can often see the lights flickering on and off.

In the main hall, Zhu Jianzhu sat on the main seat, on the right was the Han Wangfu clan, and on the left was the court officials headed by Xie Yun.

The two sides chatted and opened the topic, Zhu Jian looked at Xie Yun and asked with a smile: "It is reported that Master Xie was born in Nanyang, grew up in Nanzhou, and experienced practicing Dongzhou. I wonder what the scholars have to say about the places outside of Middle-earth? ”

Xie Yun pondered a little, and replied: "As the minister can see, this East Continent is rich, South Continent is Ning, West Continent is strong, and Europe is chaotic. ”

Dongzhou is fertile for thousands of miles, rich in resources, larger than the land area of Central Continent, more resources, now only the population is not as good as Central Continent.

It is also because Dongzhou has such good conditions, so Zhu Zhanji gave Dongzhou to his sons to prevent Dongzhou from having the intention of independence.

Compared with other places, Nanzhou is a lonely continent. Most of the large island is unsuitable for development, and although there are many minerals, the potential for development is limited.

However, there are no foreign enemies in Nanzhou, and there is the protection of the Ming Navy, and the people there live and work in peace and contentment, and there is no quarrel with the world.

Xizhou is different, where only one-third of the population is Han Chinese, and north of the desert region, the living Arabs have submitted to the Ming Dynasty.

South of the desert and all the way to the rainforest, there are millions of Kunlun slaves, outnumbered the Han Chinese.

Because of the slave trade, and the Han and Jin palaces have always been conquered by force, the army and the power of the palace here are stronger than those in other regions.

Listening to the analysis of the clouds, Zhu Jianzhu smiled and asked, "So how do the regions compare to Central?" How big is the gap? ”

"Everywhere and Central-continent are naturally not the same, this gap is ......" Xie Yun did not say any more, but pointed to the sky and then the ground with his finger.

Of course, the crowd understood that he meant the gap between heaven and earth.

Zhu Jianzhu smiled and said, "I'm afraid Bachelor Xie is not exaggerating......"

Xie Yun's eyes swept around the hall, remembering everyone's expressions in his heart. Turning back to Zhu Jianzhu's body, he smiled and said, "Is it exaggerated?" No, I don't think so, because that's what it is. Lord Wang, then where do you think Dongzhou, Nanzhou, and Xizhou can be compared with Zhongzhou? ”

As soon as this sentence was asked, Zhu Jianzhu himself also groaned. Regardless of population and military strength, there is indeed a big gap between various regions and Central Continent.

The only thing that can be compared with Central Continent is mineral resources.

Of course, Xie Yun didn't need Zhu Jianzhu's answer, and said: "My 5,000-year-old history of Zhongzhou has accumulated countless rules and traditions that are invisible to the eye, but extremely important, and these traditions are inclusive of all rivers and rivers and sow the seeds of the entire Chinese world all over the world. But don't forget that your roots are still in Middle-earth.

Without me, Middle-earth, everywhere would live savagely like Europa, the Great Cannibal. You have no electricity, no industry, no cars, no trains, no telegraphs, no telephones, no muskets, no explosives. If you don't have these things, you all carry big knives and spears and Kunlun slaves, and big cannibals, and fight those Europa whites, can you fight?

Lord Han, now that your Han Mansion is the most powerful palace among the vassal kings, then I want to ask the prince, how many Truth Cultists do you have? How many inventions do you have? If you leave the Ming Dynasty, can you make a repeating gun? Can a lathe be made? Can you make a car, a train?

Not to mention these, can you leave the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to make a 10,000-ton giant ship? Without a large 10,000-ton ship, how can you trade with the outside world? Do you rely on small sampans? ”

Zhu Jianzhu was speechless when he said this, but he said unconvinced: "The soldiers of Xizhou have been fighting all year round, and they have the morale and courage that are difficult for the soldiers of Zhongzhou to match. ”

Xie Yun looked at him and smiled: "Aren't these soldiers my Ming soldiers?" It seems that there is something wrong with the prince dividing them into Zhongzhou soldiers and Xizhou soldiers. ”

Zhu Jianzhu was a little speechless again, but Jianyun stood up, walked diagonally to the two commanders of Han Shanwei and Chang Hanwei, who belonged to the Han Palace, but were issued by the imperial court, and asked: "Commander Xie, Commander Mao, are you still my commander of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

The two commanders did not dare to slack off, and stood with their fists clenched: "Life is a Ming person, death is a Ming ghost!" ”

"Good!" Xie Yun smiled with satisfaction, turned around and said: "No matter Dongzhou, Xizhou, or Nanzhou, this is my Ming territory, and the people living here are also my Ming people. The wealth of Zhongzhou is the prosperity of the whole, and it is His Majesty's vigorous development of the truth for decades that has allowed the people to live a good life.

Some of you older people probably also know what the Ming Dynasty was like decades ago? At that time, the Ming Dynasty was difficult to deal with in the face of the remnants of Meng Yuan on the grassland. It is His Majesty today who has developed a flintlock pistol, so that my Ming soldiers can still have an advantage in the face of the Mengyuan cavalry.

Decades ago, how could I have had a large-scale industry? Even the construction of guns requires a craftsman to hammer it out with a hammer.

It was His Majesty who made Ma Zhicai invent the lathe, it was His Majesty who still invented the bearing, it was His Majesty who made him invent rubber, and it was His Majesty who made me Daming's annual steel output develop from less than 20,000 tons to tens of millions of tons now.

And the steam engine, without the steam engine, can there be so many ships on the sea today, can they travel without borrowing the wind? No!

Steam engines, electricity, these are the result of His Majesty's dedication to the welfare of our people. Without these, all of us would also be like big cannibals, white people, who drank blood and lived the life of savages. ”

Zhu Jianzhu's heart was shocked, he had never carefully considered this matter, and always thought that all this was just a natural change in the development of society to the present.

Although he knew that His Majesty attached great importance to Shinrikyo and regarded Shinrikyo as the state religion, and asked the people to seek truth from facts and attach importance to the development of truth, he did not think that this was the emperor's merit.

He said with a smile: "This is the result of the joint efforts of people in the world......

"The prince's words are wrong!" Xie Yun didn't give Zhu Jian any face, and said loudly: "Although Your Majesty has not let people publicize it, in the past few years, in the Central Continent of the Ming Dynasty, you have begun to write history for this period of history, and almost all of the development of my Ming Dynasty has been promoted by Your Majesty."

Even Shinrikyo was formed by His Majesty. And how did the Shinrikyo appear, the prince wouldn't be unaware, right? There is also the rich country Gong Ma Di, who has truly achieved that one person is rich, and the world is rich. And Lan Guifei, without Your Majesty, can Doumu Niangniang send her meaning and soul to her, leading the development of chemical and medical industry in my Ming Dynasty?

Without Lan Guifei, the Han Palace, and the Jin Palace, could they resist the miasma of Xizhou and take root in Xizhou? ”

Zhu Jianzhu, who said something, was speechless, and just as a waiter walked in and whispered in his ear. He got up and smiled, "Dinner is ready, let's take a seat......

The dinner prepared by the Han Wangfu is very rich, there are many rare and exotic beasts in Xizhou, and many wild foods are rare in Zhongzhou.

But Zhu saw that the food was unpleasant, and seeing Xie Yun dancing with long sleeves and being highly regarded among the crowd, he felt a huge pressure.

He didn't think about rebelling, this world was originally the world of their Zhu family, what kind of rebellion did he make.

He just wants the Han Wangfu to have a certain degree of self-reliance in the Xizhou region, so that he, the prince, can also be described as a hegemon.

So over the years, he has been trying his best to suppress the local government, wanting to let the Han Wangfu not be suppressed by the local government.

However, from Xie Yun's arrival in Xizhou, he had an ominous premonition.

He originally thought that the current power of the Han Wangfu was strong enough, tens of thousands of elite soldiers were invincible in Xizhou, and the major indigenous tribes were just captive livestock in front of the Han Wangfu.

All this is an illusion, leaving the Zhongzhou court, the Han Mansion is nothing.

Thinking of this, he felt that the future was bleak.

At the end of the dinner, the officials of the imperial court system were sent away, but Zhu Jianzhu left the subordinate officials of the Han Palace. Facing everyone, he only asked one sentence: "My Han Wangfu has been developing for forty years, if there is no support from the imperial court, what else can I honor?" ”

This is a difficult question to answer, and everyone looks at each other and does not understand what King Han means.

Zhu Jianzhu said: "Starting tomorrow, I will make a comprehensive count of the assets within the sphere of influence of my Han Wangfu, and I want to know how much money and how much heritage my Han Wangfu has." ”

Compared with the depression of the Han Palace, the officials of the imperial court system were extremely happy.

In the past, local officials were suppressed by the Han Palace, and they were not allowed to do anything, and the Han Dynasty wanted to get involved, so that many officials were subject to a lot of restrictions on their actions.

But as soon as Xie Yun arrived, the King of Han was speechless, and he could be described as raising his eyebrows.

This is not that the officials of the imperial court are not conscientious, in this era of the world, the Han Wangfu is a clan, and they can only do their best to maintain it, but not do it.

Otherwise, it is not the fault of the Han Palace, but theirs.

They could only bring their own shackles to deal with the Han Palace, which naturally fueled the arrogance of the Han Palace.

But now, they have discovered that the Han Wangfu is nothing more than a paper tiger.

In front of the imperial court, the Han Wangfu can only act within the rules, and does not dare to exceed the rules.

In particular, the arrival of Master Xie this time also gave them an obvious signal, that is, the imperial court did not do the work of the Fifty Han Palace, and intended to solve the problems left over from history.

These officials are not all passable, and after discovering the signal of the imperial court, their hearts are much more confident.

In the era when there was no radio and wireless telegraphy, the imperial court could not grasp the voices of the lower classes at all, which caused the rule of the imperial court to be broken.

And now it is different, when they can directly talk to the imperial court, the influence of the Han Palace's on them will naturally be weakened.

With such a mentality, Xie Yun wanted to carry out surveys and statistics in Xizhou, and the support he received was much greater.

The information from all over the country was collected through wireless telegraphy, which allowed Xie Yun to know the information on the front line at any time.

And because the telegraph bureau was controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the telegrams sent by the King of Han to other princes were also known to Xie Yun as soon as possible.

Seeing that Zhu Jianzhu wanted to invite other princes to come to find mines and open mines, Xie Yun couldn't help laughing.

This is the advantage of the asymmetry of information between the two sides, in the eyes of the King of Han, he is afraid that the court will think that he is too powerful to deal with him.

But in fact, the emperor did not mean to deal with the Han Wangfu alone. The emperor's meaning is very simple, that is, balance.

Balance the government and the opposition, balance the officials and the people, and balance the forces between the various royal palaces.

Now, Zhu Jianzhu invited other palaces to come to Xizhou to open mines, wanting to rely on the minerals of Xizhou to win over other palaces.

But for Xie Yun, his move was exactly what the imperial court wanted to do, and now there is no need for the imperial court to act, the Han Wangfu itself has already done it first.

Invited other palaces to Xizhou, giving up some of their interests, and co-opting more palaces to confront the imperial court, which was a wise move in the eyes of the Han king.

If the imperial court really wanted to deal with the Han Palace, it would be a wise move.

However, the purpose of the imperial court is not to target a certain family, but to balance the excessive power of the Han Palace, and what the Han Mansion is doing now is just a different path.

Therefore, seeing King Han doing this, Xie Yun was very happy.

"Send a telegram to Nanzhou, and ask the Nanzhou Governor's Mansion to send ships to send representatives of various royal palaces as soon as possible. In this way, we can also return to Daming as soon as possible. ”

Of course, Xie Yun did not do nothing, since the Han Wangfu misunderstood the meaning of the imperial court, of course, he would make a mistake and deliberately mislead the Han Wangfu to continue to actively promote cooperation. Moreover, he also wants to put more pressure on the Han Wangfu in other aspects.

On 17 June, when Xie Yun arrived at the Hanhe Hydropower Station to inspect it, he said that the imperial court would intensify its development efforts in Xizhou, and that more craftsmen and technicians would be sent to the Hanzhou Prefecture in the future.

On June 25, Xie Yun reviewed the military exercises of the two major guard battalions in Hanzhou Prefecture and said that the imperial court would not consider reloading them with repeating pistols for the time being because of the limited production at present.

On the third day of the seventh month, Xie Yun arrived at the Qingjiangkou naval camp in the south of Hanzhou Prefecture, saying that the imperial court needed the navy to play a greater role in Xizhou, and asked the Xizhou navy to form its own marines like Zhongzhou, and to be able to fight on land and fight tough battles.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, Xie Yun arrived at the Golden City by train, and asked the Golden City to expand its defense area, march to the north, and assist the Han Wangfu to increase the extermination of the natives.

All this has put great pressure on the Han Palace, and it seems that the imperial court is ready to take action against the Han Palace.

(I'm sorry, but it's been a bit of a latecomer these days, and the update has been a bit delayed.) In the final finale, I try to have a happy ending. The new book is also being prepared, returning to the theme that the old demon is best at, and it is also the theme that the old demon likes to write about the most. ）
