With the resumption of the publication of the "Daming Daily", all provinces have fallen into a state of turmoil, and many people are at a loss for the sudden political changes.

Zhao Yan invaded the capital, Chongzhen retreated to the deep palace, the cabinet was reorganized, the world elected auxiliary ministers, the monarchy was constitutional, and new things appeared in front of the world.

After the people of Shandong learned that Zhao Yan had invaded Beijing and had forced Chongzhen to establish a constitution, they all celebrated enthusiastically, and under the propaganda of the Propaganda Department, the people of Shandong naturally hated the same enemy, and it is unknown whether those elites could identify with the content of the Propaganda Department.

Even if these elites do not agree with the content of the propaganda propaganda, they will not be able to stir up anything, because they are far from having such influence as Zhao Yan in Shandong, and if they jump out and make trouble when the vast majority of people support Zhao Yan, they will only be 'beaten by others'.

As for the elites in other provinces, they have different attitudes, some support Zhao Yan's proposal that 'the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people', and some angrily scold Zhao Yan for being a thief.

However, when Chongzhen had already issued "The Crime Has Been Revealed", and the Shaanxi Suppression Thief Army gathered by officials and troops from several provinces, as well as Lu Xiangsheng's Xuanda soldiers and horses, Jiliao soldiers and horses had reached a compromise with Zhao Yan, there was no chaos in the provinces.

However, there are still many people in the provinces who want to send troops to fight against Zhao Yan, but their local soldiers and horses are not strong, and the situation is compelling, so they have not raised troops.

In addition, Zhao Yan's approach is not excessive, and many elites can still tolerate it.

However, Zheng Zhilong, who was in Shijing, Fujian, was so frightened by the result of this political change that he almost fainted, and he was nothing at all, just surprised, but when he saw the position that Zhao Yan got after the victory - the Daming Salt Transportation Envoy and the Daming City Shipping Envoy Division, how could he not be frightened.

The position of the Daming City Shipping Envoy Division, which has never been done before, appears this time, and the literal explanation is: in charge of the shipping taxes of the provinces and cities in Daming.

This naturally includes Fujian, which means that Zheng's Group will be in a very passive position in the future competition with Zhao Yan at sea.

Zheng Zhilong, who did not expect this sudden situation at all, regretted it and almost vomited blood, knowing that when Zhao Yan proposed that the two sides jointly formulate import and export taxes, he agreed to it, at least the two sides were in an equal state at that time, and now, after Zhao Yan obtained the position of 'Daming City Diplomatic Envoy', the two sides are in an unequal state. Under such a sudden change, how can Zheng Zhilong not regret it.

If you pay taxes to Zhao Yan, you will definitely lose your financial resources, and at the same time, you will be controlled by others. If he didn't, Zhao Yan would have an excuse to attack him on land.

Chongzhen retreated to the inner palace and did not ask about political affairs, Zheng Zhilong lost the shield to resist Zhao Yan's attack for a while, as for Xiong Wencan, the original development situation was not bad, due to Zhao Yan's advance, Xiong Wencan appeased more than a dozen thieves on the battlefield in the Central Plains, and at the same time, because of Zhao Yan's deterrence, these thieves are all safe, and there is no sign of recovery.

If Chongzhen is in power, it will definitely be a great credit, but Chongzhen has fallen in political affairs, even if Xiong Wencan can be promoted, with Zhao Yan controlling the cabinet, he will not be able to help Zheng Zhilong.

At the same time, the news that Zhao Yan sent troops to attack the Tokugawa shogunate reached Fujian as early as a month ago, and Zheng Zhilong originally only planned to see Zhao Yan's jokes.

After all, Zhao Yangang fought with Jianlu in Liaodong and Korea, and then sent troops to recruit thieves, and at the same time sent troops to Yueben, which can be described as a three-front battle, and to face, in addition to having a strong Jianlu, but also to face the combat power of the entire Yueben, in Zheng Zhilong's view, it can be said that it is inevitable to lose.

But recently, a shocking news came back that the Tokugawa shogunate was defeated by Zhao Yan in the Kanto region and directly withdrew from the Kanto, and the entire Kanto has been occupied by Zhao Yan.

In such a situation, Zheng Zhilong ordered all shipyards to step up the construction of the 50 Western ships, and at the same time contacted the Dutch entrenched in Taiwan.

Zheng Zhilong asked for a deeper cooperation with the Dutch, which hit it off with the Dutch.

The war between the Shandong army and the Tokugawa shogunate, coupled with Zhao Yan's frequent raids on the route, caused the Dutch to take a sharp turn for the worse, and at the same time, the Dutch felt a great threat in the face of this powerful northern general.

The Batavia Company had long been in a state of hostility with the Shandong Navy, and the first target of the Shandong Navy's raids was their merchant ships, even warships.

Recently, in this area of Sumatra, a small group of the Shandong Navy has appeared, and they are piloting a new type of warship of about 500 tons.

Not only did they have fast, nimble speed and travel, but they also had a very high sail rate and a powerful gun that they couldn't match.

Their warships are extremely tragic in the face of this kind of small warship, not only the speed of the ship is not as fast as the opponent's, but also the artillery is not as fast as the opponent's rate of fire, let alone as far as them, and the lethality of the shells used by the Shandong Navy is more powerful than that of solid bullets, and the two sides are far from being the opponents of this kind of small warships when they encounter one-on-one.

These warships cruised around Batavia, and more than a dozen merchant ships had been plundered, three sunk, and two captured.

This caused great inconvenience and great losses to the activities of the Batavian Company, and the Governor of Batavia naturally could not tolerate their long-term existence.

Therefore, a month ago, the Batavia Company launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression of this Shandong Navy. However, it turned out to be nothing.

Once the frigates of the Shandong Navy encounter a large-scale Dutch warship, they will simply set sail and run away without saying a word, and they will take advantage of the characteristics of small tonnage to sail unhindered on the shoals of Sumatra, while the Dutch warships with much larger tonnage can often only look at the ocean and sigh.

Recently, the Batavia Company has detected the base of the Shandong Navy, which is located in Palembang, Sumatra.

The Batavia Company is preparing to plan a more massive encirclement and suppression operation, but regardless of whether it can be successfully eliminated or not, the general who has risen in the north of the Ming Empire has already made them feel a huge threat.

At the same time, in the Atlantic, the figure of the Shandong Navy has also appeared at this moment, and the intelligence from the Netherlands has come that the Shandong Navy is entrenched on the west coast of the Americas, a place called 'Jinshan'.

In the Caribbean, the losses inflicted by the Shandong Navy on the Netherlands were even more serious, and last year 10 warships were attacked by the Shandong Navy in the course of attacking the Portuguese colony of Brazil, and they were killed in one fell swoop, which can be described as heavy losses.

At the same time, the Shandong navy continued to cruise in the Caribbean Sea, and also plundered many Dutch merchant ships, although the losses did not count their Batavia, but the threat coexisted.

And the kind of small warships in the South Seas, even if they are wiped out, Shandong can build more. The reason for its defeat was the overall backwardness of the mode of warfare at sea.

Zheng Zhilongyi's proposal to deepen cooperation is exactly what the Dutch want.

Batavia promised to provide unconditional support to Zheng Zhilong in navigation technology, whether it was sailing experience, shipbuilding technology, or artillery technology.

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong was asked to steal as much as possible the ship drawings, artillery, shell technology and so on of the Shandong Navy.

Zheng Zhilong agreed, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement and entered an unprecedented honeymoon period.

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong began to use the identity of the Fujian army to actively carry out the construction of passes in Fujian, Fujian is mountainous, although most of them are not precipitous, but it is still very simple to build tight passes in the continuous mountainous areas.

In a state of active preparation, Zheng Zhilong also tried to reach a reconciliation with Zhao Yan, and was even more eager to steal Shandong's advanced artillery technology.

…… Under the strong force and acceptable conditions, the situation in the provinces, although treacherous, has not been in turmoil.

Zhao Yan can be said to be very leisurely in the capital, and the party officials have asked to see one after another, but except for Zhu Dadian, Yan Jizu, Chen Zhongsheng, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others, the rest of the officials are nowhere to be seen.

After Yan Jizu and Zhu Dadian arrived in the capital, they immediately began the work of building the party, and all party members were provided by Zhao Yan, and there was no need to do anything, just determine the work regulations.

Those official documents were also sent to the Beijing Division to be handled by Zhao Yan, and the situation in each province was collected by the Ministry of Intelligence, and it was all in Zhao Yan's insight.

Although the cabinet has not yet been formed, the cabinet has begun to take over the chapters of various places and issue orders to the provinces of Daming, and the jade seal of Chongzhen is still used.

All the seals approved by the cabinet went directly to the palm seal eunuch Cao Huaol, and asked Cao Huaol to take out the jade seal and seal it on the seal, Chongzhen lost his administrative power, and Cao Huaol had lost the ability to check the decree.

Officials everywhere are waiting and watching, intending to see the next move of the cabinet, but the cabinet has made very few moves, that is, it has not suppressed local officials, nor has it made any changes to officials, and everything has maintained the current situation, which makes those local officials feel a lot more at ease.

This kind of action of the cabinet is determined by Zhao Yan's current situation, the cabinet has just been reorganized, and Chongzhen has just retired to the deep palace, so officials from all over the country will naturally not adapt quickly.

Therefore, it is necessary to continue for a period of time according to the original administrative habits, and after the local officials accept it, the [***] group must be slowly dismembered.

The procedure for forming a cabinet has gone almost completely, and the rougher "Da Ming Law" has been revised and finally down, although it seems rough, and many aspects are only covered at a large level, but it is also much more perfect than the original "Da Ming Law".

After three days of writing, the policies of the various parties were also submitted.

Although Zhao Yan has explained before that it is a way to change the existing predicament of the Ming Dynasty, many parties have submitted policy theories, but what is "governing the country by virtue" and the like, a lot of empty words and clichés that have been used for thousands of years.

Zhao Yan saw it, and directly put an X on it, unqualified!

The Donglin Party believed that the land claims of the emperor's relatives and large landowners should be restricted, and at the same time put forward the political opinion of protecting the people's property from being plundered at will, but they still adhered to the policy of 'light commercial tax for the benefit of the people'.

There are three big words 'Qian Qianyi' attached below, Zhao Yan was unhappy for a while, this old ghost didn't go to Qinhuai River to pick up girls, and jumped out again...... Although Zhao Yan was unhappy, he knew that the way to govern the country was not based on his own likes and dislikes, and Zhao Yan still set this policy as the first.
