"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: On April 16 of the second year of Taizheng, Zhu Changning, the king of the sun and the moon, died at home, and his three sons were all crowned kings, called the king of Linhai, the king of Jingjiang, and the king of Hainan. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Guy because the king of the sun and the moon has great achievements in the country, the emperor remembers his flesh and blood, and the third son is the king although he is in infancy.

In the following year, one of Zhu Changning's sons died naturally, and the other two sons, like other vassal kings, lived in Hainan for generations, not only owning fiefdoms, but also getting 10,000 taels of money from the imperial court.

In May of the second year of Taizheng, Zhu Changyuan promulgated the "Constitution", appointing cabinet personnel to act as agents for all government affairs in the country, and ordering the Supervisory Yuan to monitor the government of hundreds of officials, and the world was peaceful.

At the same time, in the spring of May, the imperial examinations began vigorously across the country.

In this imperial examination, the official gave a lot of publicity, not only the content of the examination has changed slightly, from the examination of eight strands of literature to the examination of mathematics, literature, basic knowledge of science and technology and other three courses, with the total score of the results.

At the same time, Zhu Changyuan also informed the world's readers of a good news, that is: expanding enrollment.

In the past, there were only more than 200 students recruited for the imperial examination every year, and no more than 300 students at most, but this time, Zhu Changyuan drew up a grand plan to recruit 10,000 people in one go.

These 10,000 people will not only fill the vacancies of grassroots officials in China, but also fill places such as the Indochina Peninsula, Fuso, Taiwan, and Northeast Siberia.

Just these 10,000 people are more than fifty times more than usual, but for Zhu Changyuan and his newly expanded territory, it is far from enough.

His plan was that in the future, when he occupied the entire land on the earth, the Chinese Empire would maintain the number of 10,000 people admitted every year, not only to fill official positions, but also to arrange these people to places where they were needed, such as large hydropower and wind power companies, such as oil refining companies, such as fertilizer factories.

These positions are compared to those of magistrates. More important.

Throughout the month of May, good things came one after another.

First of all, the canonization ceremony of the imperial grandson was held again, and it was even grander than the first time. This time is not only to canonize the emperor's grandson, but also to celebrate Zhu Cihong, who has just been discharged from the hospital and has fully recovered.

And then. The imperial grandson chose a concubine, and after two months of busy work, a beautiful woman was selected from the people, who came from Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province like Zhang Yan.

At the same time, after a difficult initial stage, with the strong support of Zhu Changyuan, Zhang Xianzhong finally gained a firm foothold in India and used the ancient Chinese wisdom of war. The Mughal Empire could not take care of itself, and the entire northern part of India fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Changyuan gave Zhang Xianzhong a death order, telling him to stay in place and not to try to attack to the south again, and demarcated a hundred kilometers of fertile land on the spot, giving Zhang Xianzhong's family a private land for generations, and it only had financial power in the fief, but no administrative power.

Zheng Chenggong led the fleet. At the end of May of the second year of the Ming Dynasty, he landed on the Indian continent and led thousands of loyal warriors to begin the bloody bath of South India, as expected. The whole of India can be taken down in ten months.

At the beginning of June, Li Zicheng destroyed the Gushi Khan Khanate, but its strength was almost exhausted, and it was basically unable to continue its westward journey.

At this time, Zhu Changyuan decisively extended a helping hand and sent 5,000 loyal warriors to march into the Yarkand Khanate.

In mid-June, Mongolia sent an envoy to express its willingness to surrender to the Ming Empire and obey Zhu Changyuan's orders.

Zhu Changyuan immediately made a decision and moved thousands of Mongolian princes and nobles into Beijing. The whole of Mongolia fell into the territory of the Ming Empire, and when the Mongolian king went to Beijing to meet Zhu Changyuan in ignorance. I was still wondering in my heart: Didn't I say I was going to surrender, how did I become a dedication to the country? What the hell is going on?

Don't ask, it was the officials of the Ming Dynasty and the nobles of Mongolia who partnered to trap him!

In July, Zangba Khan was incorporated into the Chinese territory, and so far, the area of the entire Ming Empire has surpassed that of previous dynasties and become the largest on the earth. It occupies the entire Indochina Peninsula in the south, extends south of the equator, and encompasses all of Siberia on the back, up to the Arctic Ocean further north of the North Sea.

To the east crossed the sea and covered the original Fuso, North Korea.

To the west, it was annexed to India, Gush Khan, Yarkand, and to the west the Kazakh Khanate.

In mid-July, another expeditionary force called to report that the Bedouins on the Arabian Peninsula had been conquered and that the sea of oil in the Golden Desert had now been owned by China.

At this moment, there are basically only three major powers in the whole world that exist at the same time as the Ming Dynasty, namely: the Ottoman Empire, which surrounds the Mediterranean Sea and covers Asia, Africa and Europe, Tsarist Russia, which lives next to Great China, and the European powers.

In just two years, the Ming Empire stood tall in the east of the world and became a great power that rose inexplicably.

In August, Luo Rucai was appointed as the king of Luzon, and Hong Chengchou was the marquis of Jinghai, and he entered Beijing to report on his work and entered the cabinet!

At the same time, in August of the second year of Taizheng, Zhu Changyuan received another thing that made him feel at ease, that is, the thermal power station in Jinzhou, Liaodong, was completed and put into trial operation, and stable power generation began.

This incident made Zhu Changyuan happy! The Jinzhou region was immediately divided into China's exclusive economic zone.

Jinzhou Thermal Power Plant, the first thermal power plant built by Zhu Changyuan, began to be planned before he ascended the throne, even before Huang Taiji died, and now it has been built, and the speed is extremely fast.

Along with the Jinzhou Power Plant, there is also a large fertilizer production plant, steel plant, and machinery factory nearby!

As a result, the Jinzhou power station was electrified, and other factories were able to operate normally.

It's just that the Jinzhou oil processing plant has not yet been built.

At this time, Zhu Changyuan had almost given all the internal affairs to the ministers, and he only held the command of foreign expeditions and loyal warriors.

The entire state apparatus is functioning normally, without the slightest unsmoothness, and there are even many things that are much more careful than when Zhu Changyuan was in power, of course, Zhu Changyuan grasps the direction of the entire machine, which will not be wrong.

In September, I took the queen and the imperial grandson on a plane, departed from Beijing, and flew to the southernmost city in India to play with the imperial grandson and the queen.

Seeing that there is a high mountain on the southern coast of India, and the cliff wall on the side of the sea stands thousands of miles, Zhu Changyuan did what he wanted, and let people tear off the withered vines on it, and then polish it into a smooth stone surface.

After the entire cliff was leveled, he got lucky, and then used his finger as a sword to leave seven big characters on the huge cliff: swords and horses everywhere are Han soil!

After Zhu Changyuan left, the whole of India began a vigorous land reform movement.

As long as they were rich peasants or landlords, they were all overthrown, and as long as they were poor, they could all get land. All the kings and major nobles of the former Mughal Empire, or several small surrounding states, were transferred back to Beijing, and the kings entered the Hundred Gardens, and the nobles were exiled or executed.

As a result, there was not the slightest voice of resistance in the whole of India!

Zheng Chenggong traveled west from India. He led 20,000 men to embark on a new round of conquest along the Mediterranean Continent and the Ottoman Empire.

And Zhu Changyuan was not idle, he put his queen and imperial grandson in Beijing, and went to Europe alone with many loyal warriors, because he remembered that there was still one thing that had not been completed until now.

Last year, there was a big victory in Taiwan, resurrecting the Spanish and Dutch people, and later when the kingdoms were bright, the Spanish and Dutch even came out to ask for it, and Zhu Changyuan sent people to Europe to find King Philip IV of Spain to discuss the matter of land cession and compensation, and the Spanish royal family has not yet agreed.

I'm sorry, if you don't agree, I'll have to pick it up myself.

As early as the whole year, he ran the fleet and led a group of men and horses to Europe and Spain Philip IV to negotiate with the Dutch officials, but unfortunately, Philip IV thought that his country was very large and super powerful, so he did not pay much attention to the negotiating envoys from Eastern China.

It is impossible to pay some money to redeem those dozen Spaniards, and as for the land cut, it is even more nonsense!

Of course, this was what Philip IV had in mind.

Zhu Changyuan went to Spain and found his troops, and they didn't mix too badly.

After more than a year of hard work, he has carved out territory in Spain, at least in the southern part of Spain, and has occupied a few small islands near the sea in the south of Spain, and there is still no problem in fighting a water war with Spain with the fleet in hand.

It is difficult to break further into the interior of Spain.

Zhu Changyuan came, the result was different, he summoned the 20,000 loyal warriors who came with him, released them on the island, and said to Poyu: "You can guard on the island, and see how I clean up this old thing of Philip IV!" ”

When he led 20,000 men to land in southern Spain, he took Jerez by dividing two by two, and when he wanted to continue attacking other cities first, he felt that this method made the Spanish royal family succumb too slowly, so he directly flew to Madrid with 20,000 troops in one step, and then released 20,000 loyal warriors to the outskirts of Madrid, and then surrounded Madrid.

At this time, Philip IV was completely panicked and mobilized the soldiers guarding Madrid to attack, but when he saw that those loyal warriors under Zhu Changyuan could kill a few with a single slap, he was desperate.

Crushed by absolute power, Philip IV's defenses could not last even half an hour.

Half an hour later, the entire Spanish royal family was under control.

Zhu Changyuan personally came to Philip IV and asked him with a sneer: "Now, have you thought about how to compensate for the losses of the invasion of my Greater China?" ”

Philip IV trembled and knelt in front of Zhu Changyuan, and said grovelly: "I have thought about it, I have completely thought about it, as long as Your Excellency lets me go, I will agree to all the conditions you put forward before!" ”

Zhu Changyuan said with a smile: "It's late, I put forward the conditions last year, since I have invaded your country this year, last year's conditions will change." ”

"How?" Philip IV asked.

Zhu Changyuan smiled mischievously and said, "It's very simple, you step down, and I will sit down with the King of Spain!" (To be continued.) )
