Day carrier

The emperor's edict said: I have been awarded the order of the heavens, Qin Ruo has been trained before, supplemented by the construction of the domain, and the edict of the ancient sage and the king of Si Gu. With Anhou Su Yan, protect the country in Fujian, recover the southern capital, the name is in the world, the merit is in the thousand autumns, it is advisable to build the thatched soil, defend my country, Ye Yu Zhanqin, Yonggu rock, is to use it to make a life, tin to badge, Jin Feng as the king of Nan'an County, give the fief Quanzhou Nan'an County, Yu Lu Jin 3,000 taels, hereditary replacement.

Announce to the world, and make the salty envoy known.

Chin this.

On the first day of the sixth month of the fifth year of the Yongli calendar."

Outside the Governor's Palace, Lin Qingyang, a member of the Military Election Division of the Ministry of War, held the holy decree and read it aloud, his voice fell, and Su Yan, who was kneeling in front of him, shouted long live, ready to get up to receive the decree, but Lin Qingyang stopped him and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness the King of the County, wait a minute, there is still a holy decree here."

Hearing this, Su Yan stopped getting up and continued to kneel on the ground with his subordinates, and then, Lin Qingyang took out a new holy decree and spread it out and announced it loudly.

This second decree was a reward for Su Yan and those mentioned in his good news, Su Yan was crowned the crown prince and the prince, and led the governors of the four provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangnan, and the Ministry of Justice, and set up officials, households, soldiers, criminals, workers, inspectors, announcements, trials, and other officials, and appointed officials with expediency.

In addition, Su resigned as the Marquis of Fu'an, led the right attendant of the military department, Wang Yi was the Beixi Bo, led the governor of Zhejiang and the left attendant of the military department, and Chen Zhaojun was the commander of Zhenhaibo, and served as the commander of the Southern Zhishui Division.

General Zhang Tianlu was reappointed as the governor of Zhejiang, and made up for the merits, and the general Yang Chengzu was registered as Jiadingbo, retaining the post of general in Suzhou, and the rest of the people were rewarded, but only Yang Chengzu, who took the initiative to surrender to Chengcheng, received the title.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Mingzhen, the general of King Lu, who was also on the good news, did not receive the slightest reward.

If it was placed before taking Nanjing, the imperial court might not dare to treat it differently like this, but after Su Yan took Nanjing, the imperial court became much bolder, not only that, but even Sun Kewang was afraid that Su Yan might take advantage of the topic and no longer despise the Yongli Imperial Court as before.

Historically, after Sun Kewang forcibly took Yongli to Anlong, he set up his cronies Fan Ying, Ma Zhaoxi, Ren Xi, Wan Niance and other powerful officials, households, rites, and military officials, thus actually taking over the power of the Yongli court.

And in this life, even if Su Yan is far away in the southeast, he still regards Yongli as Zhengshuo, and the army is shocking, Sun Kewang is afraid, and he does not blatantly abolish and kill ministers in the court, so the court still has a certain degree of self-esteem.

Su Yan led his subordinates down the mountain to shout long live, and after getting up to receive the order, Lin Qingyang continued: "His Royal Highness the King of the County, Your Majesty has ordered the officials to come with a handwritten letter, can you move to the study to have a secret conversation?"

"Of course." Su Yan nodded, he expected this, raised his hand and said, "Go with Bendu."

Soon, Su Yan and the others came to the study, he waved off the guards, sat on the main seat, looked at Lin Qingyang, and said, "Outside the forest, where is the letter from Your Majesty?"

"Here." Lin Qingyang took out the letter from the dark layer close to his arms, respectfully handed it to Su Yan, and then stepped back and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has another message, and I will order the official to relay it to you after you read the letter."

Su Yan nodded, crushed the red paint on it, took out the envelope and looked at it, before checking it, Su Yan guessed the possible content of the letter, and its gist was mostly the words that hoped that Su Yan would welcome him back to Nanjing, and other than that, it was a beautiful word to encourage him to be loyal.

Subsequently, Su Yan took the contents of the letter into his eyes at a glance and ten lines, and the general idea of the letter was not only what Su Yan had guessed, but also some other content.

The emperor told him how Sun Kewang despised the imperial court, disrespected the emperor, killed ministers indiscriminately and other heinous crimes, hoping that Su Yan could lead the army to King Qin, pacify Sun Kewang and other "traitors", and said how he tried to overcome public opinion, so as to persuade the courtiers to canonize Su Yan as the king of the county, hoping that Su Yan would be the king of Qin as soon as possible and welcome him back to Nanjing.

Not only that, but he also euphemistically belittled the Lu Dynasty as an arrogator, asking Su Yan to minimize contact with the Lu Dynasty's court, implying that if Su Yan arrested the Lu King who "usurped the prison country" and put him under house arrest, he would definitely give a generous reward.

King Qin?

King Lu under house arrest?

Su Yan was a little funny.

It's really the South

Ming characteristics, the situation of resistance to the Qing Dynasty has just improved, the Qing army has not been driven out of the north of the Yangtze River, Yongli is thinking of instigating a civil war, even to the point of exhaustion of mountains and rivers, not to give up the tradition of infighting.

How can such a court, with such a group of insects, govern the country well?

In his heart, he was more and more disappointed in the Nanming court, but Su Yan did not show his emotions, he put the letter on the table with an expressionless face, looked at Lin Qingyang, who saw this, coughed lightly, and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has decreed that the West Thief Sun Kewang is arrogant and domineering, has no ruler, supports the army and respects himself, kills ministers indiscriminately, intends to rebel, and hopes that the King of Nan'an County will accumulate strength, and after Jiangxi Huguang is pacified, he will enter the King of Qin in the west to clear the thieves."

Hearing that he would wait for Jiangxi Huguang to calm down before King Qin, Su Yan was a little surprised, with his understanding of Yongli, he shouldn't be so concerned about the overall situation.

You must know that when the anti-Qing situation was erosive in history, Yongli ordered people to risk death to send the edict to Li Dingguo's camp, asking Li Dingguo to raise troops to escort him, thus provoking the Qin and Jin civil wars.

Seeing Su Yan's puzzled face, Lin Qingyang took the initiative to ask, "Your Highness, do you have any doubts?"

"Hmm......" Su Yan pondered his words, pretended to be puzzled, and asked, "Sun Kewang is so arrogant and domineering, why didn't Your Majesty let me wait for King Qin immediately, but wait for Jiangxi Huguang to calm down before going west?"

Hearing this, Lin Qingyang looked at Su Yan with a somewhat strange look, and still replied: "Back to His Highness, the Western Thief is powerful, and His Royal Highness has recently recovered Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and his strength is not enough to compete with the Western Thief, this is the original words of Lord Wu, the head of the household department, so I persuaded Your Majesty and ordered you to accumulate strength."

Lord Wu, the head of the household department, if Su Yan guessed correctly, this person is most likely Wu Zhenyu, who will be known as the head of Mr. Eighteen in the future, and died tragically under Sun Kewang's knife.

Su Yan didn't expect Wu Zhenyu to be able to convince Yongli, it seems that Sun Kewang didn't force Yongli to be anxious, just like in history, Sun Kewang was extremely insulting to Yongli, so that Yongli was really unbearable, so he sent someone with a secret edict to order Li Dingguo to escort him, which eventually led to the outbreak of civil war.

And now with the existence of Su Yan, Sun Kewang threw a mouse, although he still killed several ministers who opposed the matter of sealing the king, but after all, he was not as arrogant as in history.

Thinking of this, Su Yan said hypocritically: "This governor knows, except for the foresters, Your Majesty is kind to me, and this governor will naturally not sit idly by and watch the rebels run rampant, and when the time is ripe, this governor will definitely move westward and save the country."

"With His Royal Highness's words, the lower officials are relieved." Lin Qingyang bowed deeply and said.

Lin Qingyang did not stay in Nanjing for a few more days, this loyal minister of the imperial court returned to Anlong non-stop after announcing the decree, and he asked Guan Heiqiu if he wanted to go back with him before leaving, but Guan Heiqiu refused him and chose to continue to stay by Su Yan's side.

This made Su Yan a little surprised, after all, Guan Heiqiu, Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Mingzhen, and Huang An were not directly subordinate to Su Yan, so they were not affected by the system, and they were not loyal to Su Yan, unless he agreed with Su Yan from the bottom of his heart, Su Yan couldn't think of a reason for him to stay.

However, he didn't think much of it, as his attention was quickly drawn to the system reward of being promoted to the king of the county.

[Congratulations to the host for becoming a noble prince from the marquis, since he can already be called His Royal Highness, of course he needs a strong army to protect his side.

Become the king of the county, reward the host: 5 guards infantry, 4 inner guard cavalry, this unit will be automatically summoned to form a guard regiment, with a regiment leader]

[The host has successfully promoted to the king of the county, and the system hereby rewards: 10,000 flintlock smoothbore gun inventory, 20% increase in the scale of weapons produced by all light weapon arsenals per month, and 25% increase in sea trade income in all spheres of influence]

Compared to the previous class rewards, sure enough, the buffs added in the back are more attractive.

The small arms arsenal increases the scale of weapon production by 20% per month, which is relatively inconspicuous when the production scale is not large, but when the production scale increases, the additional production due to buff is considerable.

Take the intermediate light weapons arsenal in Hutou Mountain, Quanzhou, for example, which is capable of producing 800 flintlock smoothbore guns per month.

A 20% increase yields 960 rifles per month, which can feed eight teams of soldiers with flintlock muskets.

As for the buff that increases the income from sea trade in all spheres of influence...... How to say it, now Su Yan's fiscal revenue is mainly based on land taxes, and the sea trade income is not high, but this reminds Su Yan that he can expand the scale of foreign trade to increase income.

Not only that, because the commercial tax brought by trade also needs to be reformed, the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty is extremely low, and the so-called "eaters do not compete with the people for profit" by the court officials in exchange for the reduction of the commercial tax, but the pressure of taxation is pressed on the heads of the people, so that the merchants can be at ease, earn a lot of money and only pay a small amount of taxes.

Su Yan initially focused on the gentry clan and forgot about these merchants for a while, but now he remembered it after seeing the buff of the sea trade, and decided to reform the merchant tax to make the merchants bleed.

Things have to come step by step, before that, the scientific examination of the three provinces ordered by Su Yan is about to begin, and Su Yan wants to select talents from the scientific examination, fill the vacancies of local officials, and select candidates for the six officials.

In fact, the personnel appointment and dismissal of the six officials, Su Yan already had some candidates in his heart, and during the half month of the Ming army's attack on Jiangbei, Su Yan was busy preparing for the wedding on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and at the same time, he also ordered people to visit Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

These two people and Wang Fuzhi are known as the third gentlemen of the early Qing Dynasty, they are worried about the country and the people, they are all involved in the anti-Qing wave, actively participate in the planning of anti-Qing affairs, and Huang Zongxi is also known for restricting the monarch's power and people-oriented ideas.

Huang Zongxi's people-oriented thought included a series of ideas conducive to the development of commodity economy and industry and commerce, which coincided with Su Yan's idea of developing industry and commerce in the future.

And Gu Yanwu, considering his research on territory, water conservancy, military defense, etc., Su Yan is ready to appoint him as the director of the Ministry of Industry.

The head of the military department is temporarily concurrently served by Wang Yi, although he is the left servant of the military department of the imperial court, but he is actually loyal to Su Yan's command, which is not inappropriate, but it is a pity that Zhang Huangyan is not Su Yan's direct subordinate, he is still obeying the orders of King Lu, otherwise Su Yan is more inclined to Zhang Huangyan to be in charge of the military department.

There are still too few talents under Su Yan's command, so he has to hold the imperial examination soon after stabilizing the situation to recruit talents.

On June 29, the imperial examination began under the auspices of Qian Qianyi, and the imperial examination lasted for a total of three days, because it was held in three provinces at the same time, and it would take at least half a month before the list could be released.

And on the day of the start of the imperial examination, a huge fleet sailed from the Zhoushan Islands into the Yangtze River, docked at a port outside Nanjing, and brought news of Zhoushan.

King Lu was instigated.

To be precise, it is not cowardice, after all, Su Yan has not threatened him, under Zhang Mingzhen's sincere persuasion, and Su Yan's attitude of not being a fan of him at all, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, knows that he has no chance to sit on the dragon chair.

Therefore, after hesitation, King Lu had the idea of canceling the prison state and returning to the imperial court, but a small number of civil and military generals in the court of King Lu were unwilling to give up their current high authority, and they knew that once they returned to the imperial court, their position would become very embarrassing.

Therefore, under the leadership of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the minister of the dynasty, and the squire of the Ministry of Rites, Qiu Yuanji, the generals Zhang Yunfei, Yin Wenju, and the general soldier Jin Yunyan conspired to kill Zhang Mingzhen, but fortunately, Dong Xuan, the director of the Ministry of Rites, inadvertently broke through, reported to Zhang Mingzhen, and the conspiracy was revealed.

The two sides immediately caught fire in Zhoushan City, and the war even almost spread to the palace of King Lu, Zhu Yihai held his Concubine Chen and hid in the palace trembling, and Danghu Bo Ruan Jin led the troops in time to escort him, and the battle lasted until midnight before finally ending, and those involved in the conspiracy were all killed.

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhen finally understood Su Yan's intention to let him lead the army back to Zhoushan, thinking of the mutiny that night, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, if he didn't listen to Su Yan's words, even if he got Dong Xuan's leak in advance, and there were no soldiers available in his hands, he would definitely die.

In addition to being frightened, Zhang Mingzhen only had a strong gratitude to Su Yan in his heart.

This mutiny also strengthened King Lu's desire to remove him from the position of superintendent, and since the Manchus had been driven south of the Yangtze River, he was not either

He would continue to be overwhelmed by this burden, so he announced the abolition of the title of prisoner and led a group of court ministers to Nanjing.

After getting the news of King Lu's arrival in Nanjing, Su Yan hurriedly went to the port to greet him in person, and met the Ming Dynasty vassal king who had always struggled on the front line of resisting the Qing Dynasty.

But it was precisely because of this that Su Yan could only give up on him, and forced him to cancel the name of the prison country a few years earlier than in history, and live the life of a powerless vassal king.

At the beginning of July, the court of Lu Jianguo was destroyed, and under the persuasion of Zhang Mingzhen, the civil officials stayed in Nanjing to wait for the court to fall, and the military generals decided to obey Su Yan's dispatch.

At the end of the month, I brazenly ask for a wave of rewards, and I hope to achieve the goal of 0/1 of the alliance leader every month
