The Russian crown prince came to the East, fought a lost war, and signed his name on a treaty ceding millions of square kilometers.

And the land of the Ming Dynasty has also reached the coastline of the Arctic Ocean. Of course, not a single Ming soldier or official has reached the shores of the Arctic Ocean.

In fact, the Russian Empire's so-called rule over Western Lea was only a sporadic castle built on the river, and then forced the indigenous tribes around the castle to pay furs as a tribute.

There aren't many places where you can actually take control.

"Your Majesty, such a large area on this map belongs to our Daming?"

Lin Dagong was in a trance.

on the map.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty has increased by a large area, and it has expanded directly to the north for thousands of miles.

Arrived in the far north.

"Now it's just some barren land, for the time being, there is not much value, but there may be some good mineral resources, the biggest value is that the Heilongjiang River Basin belongs to me!"

Emperor Zhu said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, give the Russian prince so many weapons, just in case," Grand Duke Lin said with some concern.

"What if he repents? When it comes to the land in the hands of Daming, there is no possibility of spit it out. ”

Grand Duke Lin nodded.

So it seems.

A palace coup is likely to take place in Russia.

And they were about to use the weapons they had obtained from the East to wage war against Ottoman Turkey.

Without the power of the Russians, the anti-French coalition will have less power from the Russians, and I don't know if it will be able to hold down France

But whatever.

It's clear that Europe is going to be in turmoil.

The Spanish fleet on the surface of the sea was expelled.

The Russian army to the north was defeated and signed an alliance with the city.

The army of the Pingxi King to the west of the Ming Dynasty also entered Central Asia.

India is still at war though.

But because the people of India are so good to rule.

The Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty were too comfortable after getting the territory, and they didn't have much strength to continue to struggle.

So much so that now India is in a situation of three dragons and two tigers.

The three dragons are three dragons that cross the river from other places.

They are the Viceroy of India in the Qing Dynasty, the Union of Indian Princes of the Ming Dynasty, and the Viceroy of British India.

And the two tigers are the two local sick tigers, the Maratha Union and the Mughal Empire.

After Lebao entered northwest India, the British Indian Governor's Palace, which was overwhelmed by the coalition of Indian princes of the Ming Dynasty, immediately found foreign aid.

The two sides joined forces, but Sun Shiyi did not dare to act rashly.

And there's a lot more that India can expand.

The three forces have temporarily died down, and they have all begun to attack the indigenous people of India, and it seems that they want to suffer the Indian people first.

In a word.

Entered the five years of the recovery of the Ming Dynasty.

The big wars around the Ming Dynasty are basically gone.

The threat was also completely lifted.

The world also seems to have entered a time to recuperate.

The Ming Emperor also left the northern capital in the spring of this year and went south to the central capital.

The Ming court was also transferred to Zhongdu.

This seems to mean that the war in the north is over.

in domestic newspapers.

began to report on Emperor Zhu's great martial arts in expanding the territory.

"Humph! The successive battles between the east and the west, the north and the south, are really reckless! ”

Chengdu.

Crane Ming Restaurant upstairs.

A young man looked at the propaganda in the newspaper and said with a sneer.

"Brother Du, is there any news? The imperial court still hasn't changed the syllabus? ”

"If there is no news, it should not be changed."

"If you don't make a head, why are we Sichuan people suffering for a long time."

"It's not easy to open the imperial examination in Sichuan, don't take the Four Books and Five Classics, what arithmetic, Western studies, etiquette, and military studies are examined, is this something that a scholar can learn?"

"No test! No more exams! ”

A group of Confucian scholars who looked like scholars either sighed or were excited.

These Confucian scholars in Sichuan have actually been looking forward to the imperial examination for a long time.

In addition to the Western Regions, Sichuan was the last province to be recovered by the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, it is not that there are many Qing Dynasty garrisons in Sichuan.

It was purely Qianlong who completely sold Sichuan to large and small scholars, forming a large number of "warlords" in Sichuan.

It's not easy to clean up.

The main reason is that Emperor Zhu did not want to give these "warlords" too many benefits, and it was easy to cause too many casualties (the deaths and injuries of the common people in Sichuan) by sending troops directly, so the matter in Sichuan was delayed until the middle of the fourth year of the recovery.

Therefore, the current Sichuan has not implemented the policy of "showing off talents as officials and going to the countryside as officials".

Instead, it basically retained the ruling pattern of the grassroots gentry.

However, preparations for the imperial examination in Sichuan Province did not begin until the end of the fourth year of the liberation.

The imperial examination is of course a good thing for scholars.

But because in other southern provinces except Sichuan, the imperial examination has been passed two or three times, and it has been improved two or three times, there is such a gradual process.

So there wasn't any trouble.

But this time the impact of the imperial examination in Sichuan on Sichuan scholars was too great - mainly the content.

Emperor Zhu was an impatient, and he didn't care much about whether the Sichuan scholars could accept it or not, so he directly asked Sichuan to integrate with other southern provinces.

Take the same content.

At the same time, a series of imperial examination review materials were also launched and distributed in Sichuan.

This caused a strong backlash from the Confucian students in Sichuan!

Compared with Liangjiang, Liangguang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Xianghu and other places, Sichuan at this time was more closed, and the minds of Confucian scholars in Sichuan were also more conservative.

It's a bit close to the freedom of the southeast Shilin at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The local Confucian people in Sichuan published articles in the newspapers against Xinxue—against Xinxue, not against the imperial examination.

It is required that the imperial examination continue the tradition of taking scholars in the eight strands, and that questions can only be written from the Four Books and Five Classics.

At the same time, in Chengdu, some people creatively invented the "big-character poster".

Use big-character posters to express opinions and attack Xinxue.

This new mode of struggle quickly swept the whole Sichuan.

In every county in Sichuan, there are people who put up big-character posters.

Attack the new learning.

Under the brewing of public opinion.

Calls for a "boycott" and "petition" began to appear.

To boycott the examination is to refuse to take the Sichuan Provincial Imperial Examination.

And the petition.

It is to call on Sichuan scholars to go to Zhongdu to petition the emperor!

"Eli! The subjects of the Ming Dynasty have the right to petition! I and other Sichuan scholars must go to Zhongdu and petition the emperor! ”

"The court wants to be close to the virtuous ministers and far away villains! The way of pro-Confucius and Mencius sages, far from crooked ways! ”

"China has its own avenue that directly points to its nature, so why do you need to learn Western studies, arithmetic, military studies, and etiquette studies."

Inside the Crane Tower.

All the Sichuan scholars shouted one after another.
