For these outlaws, as long as there are enough benefits, who cares about working for whom!

Emperor Chongzhen understood this very well in his heart, so after he heard that Wang Chengen, the governor of Dongchang, had come back to give a message, he nodded and explained: "When they are halfway through their learning, they can let them wander around in Beijing, let them know the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and also know that only with money can they live better!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wang Chengen listened, nodded again and again, and replied respectfully.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say much about his sycophancy, but explained: "During their study, people stared at their words and deeds, and I believe that Dongchang should have a vision and can see what these people are thinking." When the time comes, I'm going to use them, and I'm just going to use some of them that are doing well, you know? ”

"Slave obeys!" When Wang Chengen heard this, he hurriedly said, "The slave must send elite fans to secretly watch their every move." ”

Then, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen had nothing to order, so he retreated to arrange things.

Emperor Chongzhen also sent a decree to summon Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and gave him the information on the confessions of the Spaniards, including the basic information of the Spaniards, the Pacific and Atlantic routes, and the situation in North and South America, and asked him to study them carefully.

In addition, according to the impression of later generations, Emperor Chongzhen told Liu Xingzuo his initial idea, and he planned to send a group of about 50 warships at a time under the guidance of these Spaniards, and now establish a stronghold on the coastline of North America, and then make contact with Mexico.

"Your Majesty, are these Spaniards reliable?" Liu Xingzuo did not make promises, but put forward his own views.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to it and explained with a smile: "It should be almost, wait for you to turn around, and then let them go to the water division base to have a look, so that they can understand the strength of our Daming water master, it is enough!" ”

Not to mention the number of warships that the Ming Dynasty already had at this time, just for the first time across the Pacific Ocean, Emperor Chongzhen decided to send fifty warships, such a scale is rare in the size of the fleet that Europeans have left their homeland. Only a huge empire like the Ming Dynasty has this strength. Seduced with interests and shocked with strength, if those Spaniards still have antipathy, then it is really the conscience of Europe.

After arranging this matter, Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group and asked about the wealth and wealth.

On the side of the Wa Kingdom, the coalition led by the remnants of Kenko had already started a vigorous war with the Tokugawa shogunate.

After the capture of Honshu, the remnants of Kenju have been expanding their gains with lightning speed, and have been trying to attack Iwami Ginzan. When they reached a place not far from Iwami Ginzan, the Tokugawa shogunate understood the intention of the remnants of the Kengyu, and hurriedly abandoned the enemies of Shikoku and sent troops to surround them.

However, at the beginning, the army of the Tokugawa shogunate was still defeated in successive battles, and it was simply unable to withstand the attack of the Manchu remnants. According to Qian Fugui's report, combined with what Emperor Chongzhen himself learned, there are several reasons why the battle situation is like this.

First, these remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are all elites who are used to fighting with the Ming Dynasty, and their brave combat style and physical advantages give them a great advantage over the short men of the Shang Wa Kingdom.

Second, the main force of the Wa Kingdom was actually a foot soldier equipped with arquebuses. However, the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already summed up how to deal with firearms in the war with the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the inefficiency of the arquebus did not cause much damage to the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Third, because the Tokugawa shogunate was usurping power, they were afraid that other daimyo would follow suit, so they tried their best to suppress other daimyo starting with the first Tokugawa Ieyasu. Those powerful daimyo in the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era had been almost weakened by the Tokugawa shogunate by this time. From the original history of the Shimabara Rebellion, we can know that the Tokugawa shogunate sent more than 100,000 troops to suppress the rebellion of the Catholics for the first time, but it was defeated and returned. Its combat power can be seen from this.

Fourth, the army of the Tokugawa shogunate was composed of troops sent by daimyo from all over the country. If the war is smooth, there is no problem. However, once they were strong against the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the daimyo everywhere had to be careful, and no one wanted to fight to the death and sacrifice their strength for the Tokugawa shogunate.

Therefore, when the allied forces of the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty fought all the way to the vicinity of Iwami Ginzan, the army of the Tokugawa shogunate was able to resist its offensive and gain a foothold. Being able to fight like this is also due to the fact that the Tokugawa shogunate has not yet decayed, and the focus of the battle has been adjusted. First, the navy division was sent to cut off the strait again, and the follow-up enemies of Kyushu were not allowed to enter the island in a steady stream. In addition, Tokugawa Iemitsu is also ruthless, and instead of possibly losing Iwami Ginzan, it is better to take out a part of it and fight hard with the daimyo from all over the world!

Of course, at this time, the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty hit the vicinity of Iwami Silver Mountain in one go, and they were also a little tired and had to rest. fought so hard before, one is to take advantage of the Tokugawa shogunate's reaction. Another reason is that Dorgon wants to save Todor on the island of Shikoku, and only if he fights hard in Honshu, the Tokugawa shogunate will not be able to take care of Todor in Shikoku, so that Dordor can be safe.

In the current situation in the Wa Kingdom, the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are accustomed to fighting and have occupied a certain advantage.

However, there was one thing that Emperor Chongzhen expected, when he asked about Qian Fugui's situation in a private chat, he heard Qian Fugui reply: "Your Majesty, in recent days, the Tokugawa shogunate has changed its tactics, which has given Dolgon a bit of a headache. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he asked a little curiously, "How to change tactics?" ”

"The Tokugawa shogunate was hoarding heavy troops on the front, but it was not actively engaged in warfare." Qian Fugui may have been trained to talk eloquently about the military aspect, "but on the flanks and in the rear of the Manchus, he mobilized troops to strengthen the offensive, and it seems that it was specifically attacking the Catholic army, and it has already achieved some results." ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment and added: "Those Catholic troops are actually just peasants, and it is okay to defend the city, but once they are in the field, they are basically no match for the Tokugawa shogunate army. Dorgon is discussing how to get Hauge to come back and protect the flanks! ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened to it, and couldn't help but smile slightly, very good, I want this effect.

No matter how powerful the Manchu remnants were, their number was limited. In this battle, although the battle was won one after another, there was also a loss of personnel. Without the help of the Catholic army, the remnants of the Manchu Qing would have been nothing more than rootless duckweed, and even if they defeated the Japanese state, they would not be able to rule.

Thinking so, he explained to Qian Fugui and said: "You will use Iwami Silver Mountain as bait to let Hauge not compromise, and wait for the Catholic army in the rear to suffer heavy losses." ”

"Your Majesty, you don't need to be persuaded by your subordinates, Hauge himself doesn't want to leave." Qian Fugui hurriedly replied, "Haoge's eyes have also been fixed on Iwami Yinshan, and when Dolgon asked him to come back, he had already started scolding, saying that he wanted to get rid of him if he had benefits, so he didn't do it!" ”

"Hehe, that's fine, let him toss!" Emperor Chongzhen listened and commanded with a smile. This Haoge, Cuncui is a pig teammate, and he has not learned a little shrewdness of Huang Taiji at all. It's okay to fight a war charge, but if you make a decision or something, it can only be hehe. If he hadn't helped him secretly, he would have been swallowed by Dolgon.

But for now, on the side of the Wa Kingdom, everything is going according to the predetermined goal, which is good!

Thinking so, Emperor Chongzhen shifted his attention again and turned his gaze to the side of Tang Guo. Now the temporary enemies of the Ming Dynasty are just these two places.

He clicked on the icon of the Tang King, and asked in a private chat: "Is there any movement on the Mughal Empire?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, as before, he is just shouting that the minister is black-hearted, and he has given a sky-high amount of compensation, saying that he wants to give the minister a good look." King Tang replied with a smile, "However, the ministers sent to the Mughal Empire said that the main force of the Mughal Empire in the north and the Persian Empire for Kandahar seems to be deadlocked. ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled when he heard this, this is the best. After thinking about it, he explained to King Tang again: "Bengal Province, we must take this opportunity to put more effort into management, and for those poor and slaves, we must give benefits, as for those who enjoyed the benefits when they were in the Mughal Empire, we will not be able to give more benefits, these people, if they are not sincere enough, they will solve it as soon as possible." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks so too." King Tang was overjoyed when he heard this.

In fact, he did have this idea before, because there were already courtiers below him who gave him advice. However, he is a little bottomless, and he is afraid that Bangladesh will be in chaos. But now that he has the support of Emperor Chongzhen, then his courage will naturally be bigger, and he will have no worries, so he will agree to come down in one bite.

Emperor Chongzhen closed the private chat with King Tang, looked at Yang Sichang's side, and did not contact him.

On the Tianshan side, the remnants of the army that had pursued Mobei had returned. Now the entire Tianshan Mountains are all Ming. Guarded by Yang Sichang, Mangui led the army, and built the city while reorganizing the Weilat tribes. There will be no war for the time being.

In this way, the next focus should be to govern the country well! When Daming's comprehensive strength reaches a higher level, it can expand again.

Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart, so he opened the space of the chat group and looked at the situation of editing household registration in various places.

Under the folder of household registration, there are multiple folders by province, and there are subfolders such as prefecture, county, and township under the province. Within each folder, there is a specific breakdown and a summary report document.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen clicked on it, just to see these summarized documents.

Before doing this, the registered population of Daming had been around 50 million. Now, Emperor Chongzhen saw that the number of summaries had been registered, more than 110 million, which had almost doubled.

However, judging from the assessment, there should still be more than 50 million or so registrations that have not been completed. Most of these unregistered people have fled the mountains and forests, and a small number are hiding in foreign countries.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and then issued an order to set up the Wenhua Hall and recruit cabinet ministers to discuss matters.

It didn't take long for the cabinet ministers in Beijing to arrive at the Wenhua Palace.

Generally speaking, when there is something important, it will be discussed like this. Therefore, Wen Tiren and the others were a little curious, and they didn't know what was going on?

After seeing the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to them: "Everyone, Aiqing, I have thought about it, and now I plan to standardize marriage while the new household registration system of the Ming Dynasty is being implemented. In the future, the marital status of the people of the Ming Dynasty will also be registered under the new household registration. All marriages must be reported to the government and the marriage certificate must be issued. Only in this way can it be protected by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Private contracts will not be recognized! ”

These cabinet assistants, even after thinking about it, never expected that the emperor would say such a thing.

The "Da Ming Law" stipulates that when a man and a woman are engaged, they need to "write a marriage letter according to their wishes, and marry according to the ceremony".

And the "Ming Huidian" also stipulates: "All marriages are presided over by grandparents and parents, and those who have no grandparents and parents shall marry from the remaining relatives." ”

These are actually decided by the families of both men and women, and they are considered formal. Correspondingly, there is also a kind of private contract, which indicates that the man knows that he is old, young, disabled, raised, and concubine, but the woman's family is willing to enter into marriage. Men and women are engaged to marry without the orders of their parents. This kind of private contract is not allowed by the government.

However, no matter which one it is, it has not been certified by the government, that is, it has nothing to do with the government. In the original history, the earliest marriage certificate issued by the government in China was the dragon and phoenix post in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

That is, within seven to ten days after the engagement, both parties should go to the local county office to receive the dragon and phoenix official post and pay taxes. The content of the post includes: the name and age of the betrothed, the names of the parents of both parties, the main marriage and the matchmaker, and all need to be signed and stamped to show solemnity. It is recognized by the government and stamped with a large seal to prove that the marriage has obtained legal procedures.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not bring up this matter at this time to collect taxes.

Shoufu Wen Tiren was a little puzzled, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, is it because of the reason for escaping the marriage?" ”

In the same kind of marriage as before, there were drawbacks. Because after the marriage book is set, you have to welcome your relatives, which is the whole process. If the man runs away before the wedding, the woman will have to wait stupidly. Stuff like this is not uncommon. For this reason, in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a rule that something like this would become invalid if the marriage was not completed for five years. But in this way, the woman's five years of youth were wasted.

In fact, not only Wen Tiren wondered, but other auxiliary ministers were also puzzled.

The emperor is the Ninety-Five, there are so many things in the world, and suddenly, for such a trivial matter, and then the people gathered the cabinet auxiliary ministers to talk about it, they felt that this was not too big a fuss. With this time, it is better to deal with the official business at hand!

Your emperor is good, you didn't have the two years of diligence when you first ascended the throne, and you became a shopkeeper. But we're busy! We're busier!

When Emperor Chongzhen saw their expressions, he knew that they had misunderstood him like Wen Tiren, so he smiled slightly.
