[Today's first shift, the second shift is very late]

With the continuous development of banking business, Deng Haonan not only solved the funds needed for financial reform, but also met the operation of the treasury funds, and there was no need to transfer funds from Deng Haonan's small treasury.

Administratively, Qian Qianyi and other Donglin Party officials presided over it, making the national decree unimpeded. Militarily, the original Ming army was all reorganized, and 500,000 standing armies were retained throughout the country, all of which were controlled by Deng Haonan's descendants.

In this way, Deng Haonan completely controlled the situation in terms of economy, politics, military, and people's livelihood, and the position of regent of the prison country was firmly seated.

At this time, the only one who prevented Deng Haonan from ascending the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Plan was the royal vassal king. The biggest vassal king is the one-character king, and the two-character king's fief is pitiful and pitiful, and he can't afford the wind and waves. Among the one-word kings of the Ming Dynasty, the king of Chu has been overthrown, and there are still two kings of Xin and Fu. King Xin had just obtained a fief, and Lanzhou was poor, so he could not fund King Xin's success. Only King Fu is left, although Deng Haonan has learned from Zhang Pu that King Fu is now playful and timid, but King Fu controls more than half of Luoyang's wealth, with a net worth of tens of millions, and is a complete fat sheep, Deng Haonan can't beat him if he wants to.

In May of the first year of Tongzhi, Luoyang ordered Xu Kexiang to list the 12 charges of King Fu for embezzling the people's houses and land, robbing the people's daughters, and disregarding people's lives, and asked the court to severely punish the Fu King.

After the song folded to the capital, it immediately caused a blatant *. The civil and military officials of the imperial court only stared at Qian Qianyi, the head of the cabinet, to see what he should do. And Qian Qianyi had already mentioned that Deng Haonan had carried the black pot once, and together with Lai Youguang, the prefect of Wuhan, he dealt with the King of Chu. Now that Luoyang has ordered Shangshang to report the twelve counts of King Fu, the Imperial Governor of the Imperial Observatory, Ni Yuanlu, and other 22 imperial historians of the capital, together with Gu Xifeng, the imperial historian of Henan Province, jointly impeached King Fu, making Qian Qianyi once again pushed to the forefront.

In the imperial study, Qian Qianyi had to run to Deng Haonan to complain.

"Lord Wang, I just ran the King of Chu, and this is going to be the King of Fu, I am afraid that it will cause the world to be blatant*! Moreover, everyone in the royal family is bound to be in danger, and they are afraid that they will unite against the prince! Please think twice! ”

Deng Haonan looked at Qian Qianyi, smiled faintly, and said: "Lord Qian, you can let it go, this king has his own way to appease!" ”

Looking at Deng Haonan's confident appearance, Qian Qianyi also felt more down-to-earth. It's just that Deng Haonan's unfathomable appearance always makes Qian Qianyi a little difficult.

Qian Qianyi is an old politician, and what wind is blowing in this world cannot escape his judgment by his ears and eyes. The Liao King in front of him has successively stabilized the military, politics, economy and people's livelihood of the dynasty, and now he wants to take down the royal family one after another, and anyone with a little political mind knows what Deng Haonan is going to do.

Qian Qianyi doesn't care who will be the emperor, his biggest goal is to be able to become the first assistant of the cabinet, and display his political talent and ambition to stabilize the country. Obviously, following Deng Haonan to do things, he has gained great satisfaction. Under his matchmaking, the Donglin Party is willing to do things for Deng Haonan, which is his repayment for Deng Haonan's kindness.

He has completely fallen to Deng Haonan's side, without Deng Haonan, there would be no today and tomorrow for him. He knew that Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and others had been impeaching him behind his back, and Deng Haonan had pressed him down. If Deng Haonan falls, he will definitely not be able to sit in the position of first assistant.

"I don't know if the prince can tell Weichen a thing or two, so that Weichen can rest assured, or help with it!"

"Absolutely!"

Deng Haonan does not intend to hide it from Qian Qianyi, he also hopes that Qian Qianyi can become his right-hand man.

"After the Fu King is appointed, this King will announce that the past of all officials will not be pursued!"

Continuing to pursue the past of all officials is tantamount to reassuring all officials. Deng Haonan has evidence of the officials' past crimes, which makes the officials tremble, for fear that one day the knife that Deng Haonan hung above their heads will fall.

This time to do the blessing of the king, it is bound to cause a large number of officials to be afraid, afraid that Deng Haonan will settle old accounts with them. This is exactly what Qian Qianyi is worried about.

At this time, after listening to Deng Haonan's words, Qian Qianyi suddenly let go of one hundred and twenty hearts, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "The prince is strategizing, and Weichen admires it!" If this is really the case, presumably the civil and military officials and magistrates will definitely not be holding back on the issue of the Fu Wang! It's just that in this way, there will be a large number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials at large! ”

Deng Haonan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about Lord Qian, people go to the world to eat meat and dogs to eat all over the world, and it is difficult to make them reform themselves." But then again. Although these corrupt officials have done a lot of bad things, I have to say that they all have some ability, and if they can really reform themselves, they will definitely benefit the people of Limin. ”

"What the prince said is extremely true!" Qian Qianyi nodded, and said very approvingly: "Ten years of hard study, they are all readers who seek to improve, but they can't stand alone in the big dye vat of officialdom. If they can be given a chance to start over, there must be a considerable number of officials who will clean themselves, at least Weichen knows that many officials have long had the intention of stopping, but they are afraid that the court will turn over their old accounts. Now that the prince no longer turns over their old accounts, there will be many officials who will change their ways from now on! ”

Deng Haonan nodded and said, "This is exactly what this king is looking forward to!" When the water is clear, there are no fish, and this king can't put them all in prison! Then who else will help this king to rule the world? ”

"Lord Wang! Weichen on behalf of the officials of the country and the dynasty thank the prince for his grace of reconstruction! ”

As he spoke, Qian Qianyi knelt down and bowed to Deng Haonan. In this regard, Deng Haonan accepted it calmly, because he knew that Qian Qianyi had always wanted to thank Deng Haonan for helping him settle Wen Tiren's impeachment, and now he has thanked him as well.

Helping Qian Qianyi, Deng Haonan was secretly happy, this time it was completely entrapped by the civil official group.

Qian Qianyi got Deng Haonan's assurance, so he didn't care about running another Fu King.

Three days later, the cabinet ordered the Criminal Department, the Beizhen Fusi, and the Dali Temple Federation to try the case of King Fu.

When King Fu of Luoyang learned that the imperial court was going to attack him, he fainted on the spot. After waking up, King Fu immediately summoned his advisers and staff to discuss countermeasures. Helpless, everyone in his subordinates knew that the mastermind behind King Fu was the current regent Deng Haonan, and King Fu's strength could not compete with the regent at all, so they could only give King Fu advice to avoid death.

King Fu is really used to being pampered, and he doesn't want to resist, he just wants to save his life.

As a result, King Fu immediately used his personnel relations to bribe the officials of the DPRK and China to intercede for him.

"King Fu only wants to save his life, to be a free prince, in order to save his life, King Fu is willing to give half of his family wealth to the prince!"

Wang Zhaoyang handed King Fu's handwritten letter to Deng Haonan, which was very clear that King Fu only wanted to save his life and be a free prince, and swore that he would not go against Deng Haonan.

Deng Haonan looked at it and fell into deep thought.

This King Fu is now because he has too much wealth, so he will provoke Deng Haonan to do something to him, and other officials will be jealous of King Fu, so they will fall into the ground.

"Lord Wang, according to the information we have, King Fu will not pose a threat to the Lord except for having a lot of money! Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, once sent someone to lobby him secretly, but he refused! ”

Deng Haonan frowned and asked, "King Xin went to find him?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Zhaoyang nodded affirmatively and replied: "For the sake of King Fu's family wealth, according to the information we have, King Fu's family wealth must be more than that of King Chu, at least 30 million taels of silver, equivalent to about 60 million or 70 million Singapore dollars." Enough to buy off any official in the Northwest and pull up a strong army! ”

It is normal for King Xin not to give up, and Deng Haonan is not afraid of him because King Xin has no money to support the army. But if King Shin gets money from King Fu, it will be dangerous.

Fortunately, King Fu was timid and cowardly, and did not hold Deng Haonan back. However, Fuwang's money has always been a hidden danger, and Deng Haonan has to pay attention to it.

"There is no need for the prince to kill the Fu King! Killing King Fu was afraid of the fear of the royal family, and then united to make a rebellion. Anyway, King Fu has no ambitions, so the prince might as well take his property and let him only maintain his own life and not support other people's money! ”

That's a great idea!

Deng Haonan nodded and agreed with Wang Zhaoyang's statement. Killing the Fu King is not the best policy, there is no need to kill the Fu King at the moment, as long as you take the property of the Fu King, the problem will be solved. It's a good idea not to kill King Fu and appease the royal family.

So, Deng Haonan ordered the three divisions to handle it seriously when they tried King Fu. As a result, the last three divisions sentenced King Fu to death and confiscated all his property.

The reactions of some officials and members of the royal family were tested, and the officials learned that Deng Haonan had decided not to pursue their past decisions, so no one came out to help King Fu say good things. Although the members of the royal family had the heart to help King Fu intercede, they were limited to going to the Queen Mother to nag the queen mother

Just when King Fu was disheartened, Deng Haonan suddenly announced that he would take King Fu's life, just cut off the hereditary princes of King Fu and confiscate his property.

This decision relieved the royal family members who originally felt precarious, and in their eyes, Deng Haonan finally opened the net and did not have the intention of killing everything.

Although they are not angry with Deng Haonan for taking charge of the government, they also know that Deng Haonan is now doing this to exclude dissidents. But my arms couldn't twist my thighs, so I had to endure it. Between maintaining imperial power and ensuring the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty and protecting their own lives, most of them chose the latter.

King Fu was able to save his life and be his King Fu, but Deng Haonan only left him two million silver dollars for living expenses. Although these are much less than King Fu's original family wealth, King Fu is already half of the person, and this money is enough for him to squander in the second half of his life.

There were more than 20 million taels of gold and silver treasures that could be estimated from King Fu's mansion, and more than 20 million silver dollars had accumulated from the bills that King Fu had deposited in the bank in various names. In the treasure house of King Fu's Mansion, there are more valuable treasures that cannot be counted and estimated, and there are more than sixty carts.

This time to raid the Fuwang Mansion, Deng Haonan had a heart and sent people from the Security Bureau to raid his home. Instead of letting Luoyang Ling take someone to raid the house, to prevent him from swallowing more than half of the property of King Chu like Lai Youguang did last time.

The cash was transported to the central bank of the capital and deposited into the state treasury. The inestimable treasures were transported to the treasure building built by Deng Haonan for storage.

Deng Haonan's treasure building has more than 700,000 pieces of various objects large and small today, which is close to the scale of the treasure collection of the Old Summer Palace in later generations.

This does not include the treasures in the palace, half of which were obtained from the officials' homes, and the other half were treasures. Of course, these treasures are far less numerous than those in the palace.

After Deng Haonan took control of the government, he also counted the family funds in the palace, and the fat and ointment of the people plundered by the Ming Dynasty in the past two hundred and fifty years were hoarded in the palace. All kinds of utensils add up to more than 10 million pieces, all of which are rare items in the world, more than half of them are priceless, and nearly one-third of them are priceless treasures.

In Deng Haonan's own words, he will never be able to appreciate these treasures in his life, and it can be seen that the number of treasures is really unimaginable.

After rectifying King Fu, among the royal family members of the Ming Dynasty, King Xin was left to be a little threatened. However, Deng Haonan was not in a hurry to repair King Xin, because he was afraid that the entire royal family would be unstable, after all, the invisible power of the royal family was still very strong. Of course, there is a more important point that Deng Haonan has not been able to master King Xin's pigtails until now, and he can't clean him up without an excuse.

In May, the entire Ming Dynasty finally settled down completely, except for some natural disasters in a few places, the entire Ming Empire really entered a period of national peace and security.

However, the Ming Dynasty has stabilized at home, but it is still the same abroad, and it has even intensified. Europe and the Americas are still at war, and people are struggling to make ends meet.

In March of the first year of Tongzhi, the Thirty Years' War in Europe began to heat up. The Holy Roman Emperor hired mercenaries from the prominent Bohemian aristocrat Wallenstein, who lived up to his expectations by defeating Mansfield and then Denmark in April last year, and taking Saxony against him. Denmark was forced to sign the Peace of Lübeck with the Holy Roman Emperor in May and pledged not to meddle in German affairs.

In this way, the influence of the Holy Roman Emperor extended to the Baltic coast.

At this time, both Britain and France were building battleships of the first rank, which stimulated various naval powers in Europe. Spain, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, and the Holy Roman Empire all began to build battleships of the first rank.

The butterfly effect from the Ming Dynasty unwittingly began to affect Europe, and all the major maritime powers in Europe began to build battleships of the first rank. After the victory of the Holy Roman Empire, Wallenstein began to build a powerful fleet in the Baltic, and the Swedish king received the number of fleet orders from the Holy Roman Empire, and learned that the Holy Roman Empire was ready to build ten first-class battleships, twenty second-class battleships, and a powerful fleet of 100 battleships in the next five years.

The Swedish king feared that the Holy Roman Empire would overtake Sweden and gain a dominant position in the Baltics. Therefore, while Sweden began to build first-class battleships, it also secretly discussed countermeasures with France.

France was originally a Catholic country, and it was difficult to help Protestant countries deal with the Roman Empire at first, but now after seeing the Roman Empire's successive victories, the French king couldn't help it. The king of France was ready to send troops directly against the Holy Roman Empire. Prime Minister Zsereu, however, objected, because a month earlier, the French and British navies had exchanged fire in waters off Jersey, and both navies had refused to give in to each other, demanding an apology and lowering flags at half-mast as a sign of respect.

In this way, the relationship between Britain and France changed. At this time, King Charles I of England dissolved Parliament for the second time, and some members of the Parliament secretly instructed the common people of Scotland to rebel against Charles I.

There was a danger of civil war in England, and the French prime minister saw it clearly, so he persuaded the French king to take advantage of the English civil war. Charles I's cuts to the navy coincided with the timing when the French navy surpassed the British navy.

Therefore, the French believed that if they could surpass the British navy, then the French navy would be able to dominate Europe and control the trade routes of the Atlantic.

The French Prime Minister of the King's Cup was convinced, so he decided to pay for Sweden to send troops against the Holy Roman Empire. At the same time, plans for the creation of a large French fleet were put on the agenda.

So, with the financial assistance of France, Sweden landed in Pomerania in June to attack the forces of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Swedish army, led by King Gustav II-Adolf, united with Brandenburg and the Elector of Saxony, defeated the forces of the Holy Roman Empire at the Battle of Breitenfeld and occupied Pomerania.

Count Tilly, commander of the Holy Roman Army, was defeated and killed at the Lech River, and the Swedes captured Mainz, followed by Augsburg and Munich in April of this year. At this critical moment of survival, the Holy Roman Emperor once again appointed the degraded Wallenstein as his commander, and fought the Battle of Lützen with the Swedish army in May, but Sweden won again, but at the same time, the commander of the Swedish army, King Gustav II, was also killed, and the Swedish army lost its offensive ability.

The Holy Roman Emperor took this opportunity to unite with the Spanish allies and prepare for the complete defeat of the Swedish army. The Spanish army needed to enter the war through part of the French territory, but the French did not agree, so the Pope put pressure on the French king. The result backfired, and the French king sternly refused, resulting in tensions between France and Spain, and war was on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, Spain was the largest country in Europe, with territories in Central Europe, Northern Europe, and Eastern Europe. Among them, there were more than 30,000 troops near the Netherlands, and at this time the twelfth encirclement and suppression of the Netherlands was being launched in an attempt to destroy the Netherlands.

When Spain and France were in a stalemate and the smell of gunpowder was full, the Dutch Army unexpectedly repelled the 12th encirclement and suppression of Spain, leading the Spanish Army to a crushing defeat.

As a result, Spain abandoned the encirclement of the Netherlands and instead helped the Holy Roman Empire attack the Swedish army.

The Spanish army failed to take advantage of the Dutch, but defeated the Swedish army, drove the Swedish army back to its home country, and occupied the northern Baltic Sea from the beginning.

France finally failed to stop the expansion of the Holy Roman Empire, so France prepared to personally send troops to block the expansion of the Holy Roman Empire, and the European war quickly entered the era of chaos. V
