Chapter 116: Da Ming's Real Pill Now!

Okay, I was wrong, I admit that I underestimated Kai Shen Gong, after all, he was a great man who controlled China in another time and space for twenty-two years, and he definitely wouldn't be so easy to deal with on the surface, even if there were many accusations against Kai Shen Gong in the military field, it was impossible to deny that he was outstanding in terms of power and strategy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Also, if there are not enough political allies, how can Kai Shengong resolutely pull up the anti-flag? If Nanyang really fully supports Kaishen Gong, then the situation will be reversed immediately, and whether my little life can be saved is another matter...... Well, this is also retribution, if I hadn't been so dark all day, maybe this tragedy wouldn't have happened today.

The South Seas is a very broad concept in today's Ming Dynasty, starting from Vietnam and Luzon and ending with the Indonesian archipelago. Once upon a time, Nanyang was only a spontaneous activity of the people, and the Ming government did not support it, and even regarded these colonists who moved overseas as heaven. In order to allow the Ming Dynasty to maintain a dominant position in the confrontation with Westerners in the future, Lai Yuejing introduced a series of policies conducive to colonizing the South Seas: such as rewarding explorers with heavy money, hereditary noble titles are not destined to be sent out, and whoever discovers the land has ownership and other policies, the most important thing is to allow the clan nobles to transfer overseas, allow the canonized vassal state to be autonomous, and allow people without merit to serve as governors, Merchants were allowed to manage the city themselves...... The central government of the Ming Dynasty did not interfere in its internal affairs.

This last one really caused a huge wave in the Ming Dynasty at that time, many nobles who were hindered by the emperor's ancestral teachings, had no actual power and did not reap the benefits of the Northern Expedition, applied to the emperor one after another, and used their own family wealth to support the exploration of the South Seas, many Zhu family children even went to the sea in person to find ideal land for their future kingdom, and the merchants and the guys who did not hope to be officials heard that they also had the hope of being the masters of their own homes, and they also poured their wealth south...... This trick is not bad, without the official money of the Ming Dynasty, those clan nobles and businessmen who have a lot of savings but are reluctant to take it out on weekdays will break their families and become a country, and even use some despicable means to collect bankrupt peasants to fill the population and labor force for their future fiefdoms, and in the end, in this wave of the whole country, even the quite rich Taoist priests have begun to act - well, and then this wave is also very good to find the sea immortal mountain or something, maybe you can find what can open a sect and establish a blessed land.

Such a policy has also invisibly greatly alleviated the contradiction between people and land in China, caused land prices to fall, made landlords no longer only know about land annexation, and made China no longer have the pain of dynastic change.

This policy, which created the Ming style of the Age of Discovery, contributed to the Nanyang colonization at the doorstep, and countless autonomous cities and territories were established in a very short period of time, coupled with the gradual submission to the Ming princely states, the Ming Nanyang colonial model was formed.

However, the drawbacks of this problem have finally become apparent today -- the local and central governments are not in harmony. The local authority is too heavy, and there is the confidence to argue with the central government. Most of the nobles in Nanyang are powerful people who control the territory and real power, and Xu Xing, who mixes in the army and controls the army, the mainland nobles who control the army are completely two types, they almost have a heart to completely get rid of the central rule, and the local soil king is their loyal ally, and the merchants of Nanyang, mainly plantation owners and raw material suppliers, in addition to the mainland, their trading partners are Burgundy, Zhou Rao and New Spain, they prefer to carry out unlimited trade with other countries, dumping raw materials to their heart's content, Instead of following the baton of the central government and sacrificing their own interests -- the Ming Dynasty announced an embargo on raw materials to such and such a country, and such and such raw materials could only be supplied to the mainland, and the interests of Nanyang merchants were sacrificed.

In the past, when Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and even Yuan Shikai's cabinet were in power, they all adopted a policy of centralization, and they gathered local power in Nanyang like a frog boiled in warm water, but now the Ming Dynasty has suffered a crisis, and the centralization policy has finally been countered over the years. Maybe they have been with Zhou Rao for a long time, but I heard that when the Nanyang Fleet and Zhou Rao were in a stumble, they were troubled by many autonomous ports.

Now, the Ming is really a pill.

The situation is changing even faster than I can think, a super-empire with an incomparably glamorous appearance, in less than a year after the war with the Soviet Union, suddenly fell apart, with the Soviet tiger and wolf army in the north pressing the border, and the Chang Kaishen rebels in the south occupying half of the country, places like Uszang seem to be unreliable, and the vassal states of Korea, Japan, and Thailand cannot be used as help, it seems that they ...... It seems that the great Ming Dynasty is left with only the eighteen provinces of Han and the three eastern provinces in an instant, as well as Mongolia? Mongolia and the three eastern provinces, as the sandwich cake between China and the Soviet Union, although it is still reliable, but it will not take long for this kind of front line to be destroyed by the air force, and the Jiangbei provinces in the eighteen provinces of the Han Dynasty are still reliable, and the loyalty of the Jiangnan provinces to the emperor himself is also a question.

After I compared the map for a while, I finally found out this fact in despair, yes, the Ming Dynasty only had this basic plate left, and the savings of hundreds of years were lost in a short instant......

And in these remaining territories, there are no more soldiers to fight, all the combat-ready armies are already fighting on the Sino-Soviet border and the Soviet Union, and the rest are ...... Strawberry Soldiers. If the current army is crippled and wiped out, even if the weapons production line is in full swing, there will not be enough reserve army to support the framework of the Ming army......

Fine cold sweat slowly seeped out of my forehead at some point, and if I didn't handle it well, maybe the Ming Dynasty would end here. Maybe I should try to cast a new name on the Lord? Maybe we should try to defect to Chang Gong? But my old man is in the imperial capital!

I didn't dare to do anything wrong. Even if Xu Xing decisively voted for Chang Gong with his own troops, I wouldn't dare to have any crooked thoughts - as long as the emperor can still control the imperial capital, I won't dare to have any crooked thoughts.

Now, can you tell me what I should do? If Daming doesn't have black technology, he will really kneel...... Wait a minute? Black technology?

I was stunned. To be reasonable, does Daming still have four nuclear warheads? This is the only black technology in the world for scorpion!

Can the emperor turn the tables?
