Zhu Youxiao looked at the list of royalists in his hand, which had already recorded more than a dozen members of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and couldn't help but smile secretly, his purpose was only one, that is, to let the royalists gradually grow, and then squeeze out the Donglin Party, and finally control the country's resources through the royalist party, an emerging military and political group, so that the Ming Dynasty went to Zhongxing.

The rise of any regime has a powerful group of his, Liu Xiu has the 28 generals of Yuntai, Li Shimin has his Tiance Mansion, Zhu Yuanzhang's Huaixi disciples, and the Manchu Eight Banners, needless to say, the success of the Whampoa Military Academy is a model.

Since the Donglin Party represented the interests of the merchants in the late Ming Dynasty, that is, the great squires, the royalist party represented the interests of the vast majority of the middle and lower class landlords and the majority of the common people.

The political position of the Donglin Party was to oppose eunuchs and oppose mining taxes.

The political proposition of the royalist party is to levy commercial taxes, develop maritime trade, and revitalize the Ming Dynasty, which is contrary to the proposition of the Donglin Party, and it also completely shows that the two parties can only be incompatible in the future.

However, the Donglin Party has no clear political beliefs, and strictly speaking, the Donglin Party is not a well-organized political organization.

But the royalists are different, he has his own clear political beliefs, that is, His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao personally proposed to be loyal to the king and revitalize the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the royalist party established by Zhu Youxiao himself had a strict central organ, that is, Zhu Youxiao set up in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.

This Xinuan Pavilion is somewhat like a secretariat or a president's office, but his role is indeed to lead the work of the royalists.

In accordance with Zhu Youxiao's wishes, Li Mingrui, the pen of Zhu Youxiao, wrote a 30,000-word "Draft Program of the Royalist Party," which included these so-called political beliefs, propositions, and leading institutions.

As soon as the "Draft Royalist Program" was written, Zhu Youxiao distributed it to the royalist ministers and encouraged them to put forward their own opinions.

It is a little difficult for these traditional feudal scholars to understand Zhu Youxiao's thinking, but these people are not stupid, after carefully reading the auxiliary materials sent by Zhu Youxiao at the same time, they all understand the purpose of His Majesty the Emperor who has taken so much pains.

Most of these ministers were from traditional gentry families, and they were already opposed to commerce, so they imposed a commercial tax and cracked down on the combination of government and business, and they were in favor of it.

The revitalization of the Ming Dynasty was deliberately put forward by Zhu Youxiao to put forward the concept of the country of "Daming", and the purpose was naturally to let everyone have a common ideal, which was in line with traditional Confucianism, and no one objected.

However, the development of maritime trade made the ministers a little puzzled, why His Majesty emphasized this point, fortunately, these ministers are almost all from the mainland, and do not have a deep understanding of maritime commerce, so no one objected.

In this way, Zhu Youxiao finally united a group of practical officials who were mainly followers around him.

And most of these officials who were eunuchs have also opened their hearts, from today on, they are no longer eunuchs, they have not violated the ideas in their hearts, they are not eunuchs, but more loyal to the monarch than others.

From this day forward, whoever does not associate with them is a disloyal and unrighteous person, and they are obliged to punish these rebellious ministers and thieves who have no intention of being loyal to the king!

Zhu Youxiao also did not expect that the political beliefs of this group would develop into the core idea of "loyalty to the monarch" in the later period, of course, this is a later story.

Since Wei Zhongxian was demoted to the guard of Nanjing, Zhu Youxiao deliberately separated the East Factory and Jinyiwei, and since then the two secret agencies are independent agencies, and Jinyiwei is no longer under the control of the East Factory.

Moreover, after confiscating the money and property of Zheng Sanjun's family and filling it into the internal treasury, Zhu Youxiao immediately allocated 100,000 taels each to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and ordered Wang Chengen and Xu Xianchun to expand their spy team and establish a series of service systems such as training, staff officers, and logistics.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also clarified the functions of these two spy agencies, and the East Factory was mainly responsible for the intelligence collection and supervision of the Ming people and gentry officials, as well as the inspection and arrest.

From then on, the Jinyiwei only focused on the collection of intelligence on military and foreign wars.

Since then, with the encouragement and financial support of Emperor Zhu Youxiao, these two major spy agencies are desperately expanding their scale, and for a time Dongchang Fanzi has spread all over the inland eighteen provinces, teahouses, Qinlou Chu Pavilions, land and water docks, cities and villages have the figure of Dongchang Fanzi, some are the servants of a large family, some are workers working in textile workshops, and some are still in Qing. Some of the **** who sell and sing in the building are the sedan chair men of a certain official, and even the concubines may also be Dongchang fans.

In short, as long as Zhu Youxiao wanted to know what had happened in a certain place recently, and wanted to know who said what when, where, Wang Chengen would be able to report the news to him the next day.

Xu Xianchun's Jinyiwei was naturally not far behind, and after the eunuchs guarding the nine border towns were successively sent to Jiangnan or important commercial distribution centers in various places to collect taxes, Jinyiwei was immediately stationed in the major military towns.

From the general and above to the chief military officer to the governor and the superintendent, the civil and military officials at all levels in the border towns will be accompanied by brocade guards.

Of course, this is still only on the surface, and there have already been Jinyiwei who have secretly infiltrated Jurchen, Mongolia, North Korea and other places as undercover agents, and for a time Zhu Youxiao's intelligence network was further expanded on the original basis.

Sometimes the intelligence news that the Liaodong Governor Wang didn't know in Jin, he could know in advance.

The notes of the Donglin Party recorded this history like this, for a time the horses were everywhere, and the Dongchang Fanzi was arrested everywhere, and no one dared to speak about state affairs, otherwise they would be imprisoned for the crime of slandering the king, and some people were arrested in the middle of the night, and dozens of county students were arrested and put into prison.

But in such the darkest era, no one rebelled, and no one rebelled.

Ding Yikui, the new champion of the 26th year of the Apocalypse, who was born in a poor family, once recorded in his personal notes that during the Apocalypse, although disasters occurred frequently, the people were the most happy.

Two flowers bloomed, each with a branch, Zhu Youxiao in order to strengthen the royalist, he ordered Dongchang to join the royalist party. The introduction materials and various materials were sent to several important people in the late Ming Dynasty who I knew well.

Such as Lu Xiangsheng, who is still serving as the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion.

Ma Shiying, who was still the prefect of Datong, as well as Cao Wenzhao, Huang Degong, Yan Yingyuan, etc.

These heroes from all over the Ming Dynasty and have not yet become famous in the late Ming Dynasty were connected by Zhu Youxiao.
