Chen Qiyu and Han Lin's proposal caused a heated discussion, turning the constitution into a law is of course conducive to long-term peace and stability, but it also has to be believed, the fifth ** living Buddha and Dongke living Buddha patted their chests and said that Buddhism is boundless, and they will naturally inform the world of the will of heaven, Lamaism has the ability to guarantee the constitution, and the grand imam of Mahad also said that he would gather the great imams from all over the world to study the Quran together in naturalization, and he would definitely be able to find out the basis of the constitution, Han Lin said that he would go to find Long Huamin and Father Deng Ruoshui, so that Yahism would endorse the constitution. Li Yu hesitated for a while, and finally made a statement -- to set up a constituent assembly, and to inform all localities of the news, and invite virtuous people from all localities to come to Datong and draw up a constitutional law with the Senate after the beginning of spring next year.

"I answer, your "Private Property Protection Order" has made us miserable, everyone is concerned about livestock and population, and it is not easy for the Grand Commander's Office to find some people to do things, we support the formulation of constitutional laws, and demand the reform of the old system, all tribes should serve the country." Batur and Tulubaihu shouted, and the two guys knew the difficulty when they sat in the seat of the Grand Commander, and their brains took a big turn.

"It's time to reform the old system, the population and land in Tibetan areas and the West Sea are concentrated in the hands of nobles, the government has no one to use, there is no money to make, long-term poverty and weakness have achieved nothing, and the little tax collected is not enough to feed the officials, so it is not possible to go on like this." The Fifth ** Lama also agreed.

They put forward various proposals, including the tax system, the military system, the bureaucratic system, the relationship between the tribe and the locality, and the relationship between the local and the center, and the most important thing is how the federation should transfuse blood to the frontiers. The meeting lasted for three days, and Li Yu regretfully said that many things still had to be discussed within the federation, and he could only talk about this at present, and then waved his hand, everyone went to get the money, and took his wife and children to Datong and Taiyuan to play for a few days, and the leaders cheered.

Li Yu returned to the manor, Chang Shu and Shen Shoulian immediately brought Caron to meet, Caron has figured it out these days, the Dutch went to the Far East to do business and make money, and the thriving Datong Federation is definitely the best partner, this opportunity can not be missed, the vision is still to take a long-term view - the two sides met frankly and talked about the cooperation framework, which not only includes trade, but also extends to personnel exchanges, military cooperation and joint maintenance of the Far Eastern shipping lanes.

"Your Excellency, this is an agreement akin to an alliance, and I must persuade Parliament to agree to it, but you must make two guarantees: first, disputes over territory, maritime areas, and rights and interests should be placed on the table, and disputes should be settled by commercial negotiations, without the use of force in any form; Second, Chinese citizens have the right to live and do business freely in the areas controlled by the Datong Federation and receive reasonable protection, and the same treatment will be given to citizens of the Datong Federation in the areas controlled by China. Caron said solemnly to Li Yu.

"I promise that the Datong Federation has no interest in plundering others, and believes that territory, rights and interests can change at any time, only friendship and trade are eternal, we are a new country of immigrants, and anyone who desires freedom is willing to live with us on an equal footing, the Datong Federation welcomes it." Li Yu waved his hand and replied.

Cuaron smiled and nodded, and then said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I have concealed a fact, the East India Company has appointed me as the governor of Formosa, and after I report back to Batavia, I will soon take up my post in Formosa, please rest assured, I will definitely help you, but your shares and money will not be necessary, I admit that I have indeed been tempted, but I am still an honest gentleman." ”

Chang Shu and Shen Shoulian blushed and lowered their heads, and Caron continued: "I know you are having a hard time, please persevere, the Dutch have fought the Spaniards for decades to win independence, and many people in my family have died in the war, this is the price of freedom, but we are still fighting, may God bless our two republics." ”

"Mr. Caron, I salute the citizens of the Netherlands and ask you to tell the Dutch Parliament that the Cosmos Federation will always be the best friend of the Dutch Republic." Li Yu held Caron's hand and said.

The two sides soon reached an agreement, and Caron, accompanied by Chang Shu and Shen Shoulian, returned to Datong, and the "Agreement on Trade between the Federation of Datong and the Republic of the Netherlands" was successfully adopted after debate in the House of Representatives. Later, at the invitation of Father Deng Ruoshui, Caron went to Datong University to give a lecture on "The Dutch Revolution and the Age of Discovery", in which he told the students that the Federation of Datong was not isolated, and that there was a republic founded by merchants and civilians on the other side of the world, and that the citizens of this country bravely fought against the Spanish army, swore to defend independence and freedom, and welcomed the Age of Discovery with their own diligence and wisdom, sailed ships to every corner of the ocean, and won the title of "Coachman of the Sea" for the Netherlands, and the sea was boundless. There is an abundance of wealth in it, and the Dutch Republic looks forward to working with the Federation of Pax Pax to open up the seas.

The speech caused a huge sensation, the Barbarian Mountain Wuxuan School, the Naturalized Government Affairs School, the Naturalized Western Academy, the Taiyuan Sanli Academy, and the Baoketu Industrial and Commercial Academy issued invitations one after another, and Caron gave more than a dozen lectures in various places before leaving Shanxi in late June, but the young students have since remembered the sea.

Jingshi, the emperor is enduring unprecedented humiliation - the Qing army went deep into the border wall for more than 2,000 miles as if entering a no-man's land, and the soldiers plundered and left, and the naturalized Hou did not want to repay the shame of the country, but asked to move the capital to Nanjing, almost to drive the imperial court away, where is the prestige of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty? The emperor was full of grievances to vent, the Qing army was strong, the Ming army was difficult to look at it, the naturalized marquis divided one side, the blade stretched to Yanqing Prefecture, neither of them could be provoked, and they could only be slowly figured out, but Zhou Yanru was ordered to be entrusted with state affairs, not only did not achieve anything, but also dared to deceive the imperial court, falsely reported a great victory, which is unbearable - in fact, the two have long been estranged, the original military department Shangshu Chen Xinjia and the Qing court leaked, Zhou Yanru played a slippery head and did not want to take responsibility, the emperor was very dissatisfied and said "I hate it too well", and Zhou Yanru said in private, "Things are so British, Don't make it unbelievable", it is only a matter of time before the monarch and the minister turn their faces.

The emperor had a scheming, first dismissed Zhou Yanru from his post, and then sent a message "Yanru Gong has many crimes and widows, and the order is exempted", sent him to return to his hometown, and then turned around and attacked his protégé Fan Zhiwan, the governor of Liaodong, Ning, and Jin, and beheaded him together with Zhao Guangxi, the governor of Guan, Ji, Tong, and Jin. Although Fan Zhiwan died, he brought out Wu Changshi and Dong Tingxian, a staff member of the Zhou Mansion, in the Wenxuan Division of the Ministry of Officials, and Zhou Yanru's bad deeds of recruiting power and accepting bribes were clearly exposed - Wu Changshi, a member of the Restoration Society, was not successful enough to defeat more than anything, and overthrew the original first assistant Xue Guoguan, and contacted Zhang Pu, the leader of the Restoration Society, and others to create public opinion to help Zhou Yanru regain the position of the first assistant, and he himself also benefited from it, and was promoted to the Ministry of Officials Wenxuan Langzhong, and he got carried away with the power, colluded with Dong Tingxian to monopolize power, sell officials and share spoils, and even dared to blackmail Zhou Yanru, it is said that Zhang Pu's death is also related to him, almost to the point of indignation between people and gods.

The direction of the court changed greatly, the Ming Dynasty was almost exhausted, and it was useless to do anything, and the courtiers simply fought to the end, and the impeachment of Zhou Yanru and Wu Chang was like snowflakes. Imperial history Jiang Gongchen was originally Zhou Yanru's person, at this time also exposed Wu Changshi and Dong Tingxian as a traitor, stolen officials, fraud in the field and so on, stolen money and billions of stolen goods, rich evidence of crimes, and also communicated with internal officials to listen to secrets, and began to pre-speculate on Wen Zhi's accusation - the case is complicated, "Tongnei" is taboo in previous dynasties, and the internal officials pointed out by Jiang Gongchen happen to be the people around Queen Zhou, the emperor made up his mind that he must find out, and bring the prince and King Ding born to Queen Zhou to the Zhongzuo Gate to personally interrogate Wu Chang, At the same time, officials from the five ministries, six ministries, and nine secretaries of the Cabinet were summoned to jury together.

At the beginning of the palace trial, the emperor ordered Wu Changshi to step forward and ask him about the matter of "Tongnei", Wu Changshi refused to admit it: "The system of the ancestors, befriending the waiters in the house, the law is extremely strict, although the ministers are not talented, can An commit this?" ”

The emperor immediately ordered Jiang Gongchen to confront him face to face, but Jiang Gongchen trembled with fright, and he didn't dare to speak on his knees, Wu Changshi's tone became harder: "The emperor must want to be a minister, how dare the minister disobey the holy will, he should bear it, if he wants to bend the move, he really can't." ”

is so arrogant, he will be tortured if he does not confess, the emperor ordered the chamberlain to prepare torture tools, and the cabinet ministers Jiang Dejing and Wei Zaode were startled, and hurriedly went out to dissuade: "There is no case of punishment between His Majesty, and Fu Qi will hand over Changshi to the law department for questioning." ”

"This generation of traitors has great powers, if you are three feet away from this, who dares to ask from the public?" The emperor said sharply, Wu Changshi's case involved the inner palace and the first assistant, and he didn't believe that the three law divisions could judge the case, and the biggest possibility was that the big thing was small, and the small thing was small.

"His Majesty's punishment is something that has not been done in three hundred years." Jiang Dejing and Wei Zaode are still insisting.

"Wu Changshi's guy is also a person who has not been seen in three hundred years." The emperor Zhenzhen had words to refute, Jiang Dejing and Wei Zaode were speechless, and bowed their heads in panic.

The chamberlain used a clamping stick, Wu Changshi knew that he would die, gritted his teeth and held on to the end, both shins were broken and he did not admit it, the sound of wailing resounded throughout the hall, the prince and the king were only a teenager, and they were shocked and afraid to look directly, the emperor was annoyed and angry, and the unconscious Wu Changshi was sent to the Jinyi Wei Imperial Prison, and soon he was beheaded and abandoned the city.

"Wu Changshi is just a small official, why not make such a big fanfare?" The ministers trembled with fear from the torture, and some could not help but lament.

"Chang Shi is the same, is Zhou also the same?" The Emperor replied coldly.

The end of Zhou Yanru came, Jinyi Wei rushed to Yixing to escort him back to Beijing to discuss the crime, this Ming moth premonition in the catastrophe is inevitable, before leaving the treasure of the pavilion three pendants burned, the treasure looted by his life was then turned into ashes. In December of that year, Zhou Yanru, the two first assistants, was given death, since the hanging, the Jinyi guard commanded Luo Yangxing to worry about the accident, and ordered his subordinates to nail the iron nail into his brain - Chongzhen Dynasty fifty auxiliary ministers, only Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru can help slightly, but one is greedy for power and one is bold and greedy for money, but both of them died, and there were no more incompetent ministers in the court, and the emperor was even more lonely.

On the first day of August, the military flags of the Manhan Mountain camp were unfurled and the singing was loud, President Li Yu, Vice President Batu, Chief Judge Ortai, Speaker of the National Assembly Xiao Daiwang, Prime Minister Yunrong, and the new Governor of the Soldiers and Horses Division Jin Sheng inspected the military formations of the battalions of various ministries and the officers of the Wuxuan Academy, and then boarded the general platform to give a lecture to the whole army.

In view of the critical situation at present, the Council agreed, after debate, the proposal for the expansion of the Datong Army put forward by the Soldiers and Horses Division, and to intensify the expansion of the army, and now officially announced that the federal army will be expanded into four cavalry towns, eight infantry towns, and two artillery towns, with a standing reserve of 3,500 troops in each town, and that the reserve troops will be supplemented according to the establishment in wartime, and two admiralty offices in Shandong and Huguang will be set up, and they will be allowed to organize and train their military strength according to local conditions, and the specific establishment and the appointment and dismissal of officers will be submitted to the presidential office for approval.

At the same time, in order to strengthen the force to deal with contingencies, the Naturalization Alliance will set up three admirals, Khalkha, Western Regions, and Tibetan areas, and appoint Subutai, Ashu, and Hechilie as admirals.

Under the expectant gaze of the officers, Jin Sheng stepped forward with a smile, and then read out the officer's appointment aloud with a face:

After Jin Sheng read out the order, he immediately hid behind Li Yu, and the ghosts knew what was going to happen behind - the officers stiffened their faces, and finally they couldn't help it, and the cheers rang out, everyone was promoted, and those who saw it had a share, and many people were even promoted a few levels, and the poor people also had a lucky day. Everyone hugged each other and cried and laughed, and in the midst of the demons dancing, some people began to make trouble, squeezing to the front of the stage and pointing at the golden voice and shouting.

"Who said bad things about me, and all other co-commanders were promoted to town commanders, so why should I be the deputy town commander?" Monk roared with red eyes.

"I'm obviously a cavalryman, so I'm a soldier to me, Meng Ke, you want to be the town commander, how about we change?" Ma Jinzhong grabbed Meng Ke and shouted.

"It's so beautiful for you, do your infantry, Buck, the Datong Cavalry Association is gone, and you haven't earned an official position, someone must hack you." Meng Ke pushed Ma Jinzhong away and went to provoke Buck, but Buck didn't care, his Datong Cavalry Association was originally a grass platform team built by the caravan, and it was just convenient for everyone to do their old job to make money.

"Shut up for me, Meng Ke, the bigger the official you are, the more you can't control yourself, and Wuyunna complained that the family has no money, where is your military salary? Do you want me to raise your wife and children for you? If you don't want to be the deputy town commander, go back to the Flying Tiger Battalion as a sentry officer," Li Yu drank Meng Ke, and then said to the angry officers without smiling, "It's easy to do if you're not satisfied, the local soldiers and horses division and garrison are short of people, and if anyone is willing to go, I will immediately upgrade him to another level." ”

Fools went to manage the militia, the officers were bored, some people shouted "drink and go", and immediately dispersed, in fact, who was promoted to the rank of officer also secretly had fun in their hearts, the officers hooked their shoulders and flocked to the restaurant restaurant outside the camp - the Barbarian Mountain has long changed, several factories of the Ordnance Department moved to Datong or Baoketu, and hundreds of businesses were opened outside the camp, among which there were several brothels, specializing in the business of being soldiers, and the Presidential Palace turned a blind eye to this, but set up a special Manhan Mountain Titang and inspection office, and the nearby lama monastery also often sent lamas to supervise military discipline, nothing major has happened so far.

As soon as the officers went out, the various factions were undoubtedly visible - Meng Ke and Chaolu were Mongolian officers behind them, Tu Lichen and Haishan were Manchurian officers behind them, Sun Shoufa and Hou Shijie were Shaanxi officers behind them, Zhang Chuanjie and Sun Siwang were Shanxi officers behind them, Zhao Ji and Zhang Ding must be a group of old horse thieves behind them, Zhou Yuji and Jin Guoding's Liaodong department also grew stronger, Wang Tingchen and Lu Guangzu were not left behind, and even the young officers from the Wuxuan Academy had their own small factions, led by Hadari and Li Dingguo.

The territory has expanded, the army has also grown, there are people from Tiannan and Haibei, and the factions are more complicated, the people from the three towns of Xuanda, the people of the Guanning army, and the people of Zuo Liangyu have all boarded the boat, and I don't know how many people will come in the future, and the integration of the army will also take time - Li Yu walked around outside the camp, and couldn't help but glance behind him, Ao Bai, Wutai, and Gui Tu were following stupidly.

Gao Heizi ran to whisper a few words, Li Yu didn't have time to think about it, and hurried to naturalization with the guards, where an important guest was waiting to see him - Wu Xian deliberately reserved for two months, and finally couldn't hold his breath, he was only in his early fifties, some were ambitious and ambitious, how could he be honest and honest, Jingshi's friend came to the news that Wu Chang's palace majesty was tortured, and he was so shocked that he shouted "The country's vitality is exhausted", and the leader of the famous man didn't want to play anymore, so he pulled Yun Rong to naturalize and ask to see Li Yu.
