Chapter 57 The Zhengdan Military Parade
Taking advantage of the emperor's personal victory and returning the prestige, a bigger turmoil caused a noise in the Ming Dynasty.
The head of Confucianism in Qufu, Kong Wenxun united with the eight major merchants in Shanxi and Shandong, and asked the people to ask the imperial court to collect business taxes, and after the emperor repeatedly refused, he finally couldn't resist the persistent enthusiasm of the ministers and merchants, and ordered the world to pay taxes in one place for agriculture, industry and commerce.
Long live the emperor~!
As soon as the news came out, the world was shocked.
A moment ago, only the news came out, the imperial merchants and merchants in the capital paid taxes, and now how long has passed, in the blink of an eye, it is all the merchants and gentry in the world to pay the grain in one piece, if in the past, this holy decree is a moment, I am afraid that the sky will fall apart, and the world will be full of smoke.
Scholars don't stand up and criticize the pen, the court has to fall apart, but now it's weirdly quiet, no scholar stands up to say the rights and wrongs of the court and the emperor, just because it is the head of Confucianism, the sage Kong Wenxun, and the descendants of the sage Confucius.
Originally, when the holy decree came down to the center of the cabinet, the three cabinet elders hesitated for a moment, whether to ask His Majesty to think twice, but when they thought that His Majesty would not be untargeted every time, this time I was afraid that he had already thought of the way back, and after a brief discussion, he approved the red, and then the General Administration Department conveyed the various political envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no turmoil at all.
It's just that the voice of the people is rising, and for this majesty, I wish to live long live, long live, long live, and it would be better if they could be exempted from these bitter taxes.
The most dissatisfied is a part of the vested interests, but in the face of the general trend, they are just dust, even a few imperial merchants, as well as Shandong and Shanxi, can basically be regarded as the entire northern business to unite with the imperial court, plus some southern business to cooperate, you dare to do against the imperial court? Aren't you afraid of raiding your family and exterminating your family?
Forget it, it's better to be honest, Zhu Houzhao's hand can be said to be quite successful, and even he didn't expect it to be so smooth.
Originally, I was going to cut off a few heads, and some of Weihe's people seemed to be useless now, but it was better.
After seeing the Queen Mother and the Empress Dowager, Zhu Houzhao soaked in the Royal Manufacturing Bureau again, if it was before, he would have been impeached and questioned by the imperial history, since he changed the rules and improved the welfare of officials, he has shut up with interest, as long as the emperor shows his face when the emperor meets the court, who cares what the emperor does in the inner palace?
"Your Majesty, the production of cement is no longer suitable for the palace, if it is only for the imperial city, it can be reluctant, if it is used for the capital, it will not work, and the smell of this cement is unpleasant, and it is also harmful to people's bodies, and the imperial city is no longer suitable for production."
Zhu Houzhao nodded, the original intention was to do it in the imperial city, and when the time is ripe, it will be announced, and then let the imperial businessmen come to help the royal family sell it out and make money, he didn't expect it to be done so quickly, there are too many places where cement is used in the capital and the imperial city, and the amount is constantly increasing.
He looked at the smoke-smoking chimney and thought speechlessly.
"Liu Jin, order the withdrawal of the Xishan regimental camp, and the Royal Manufacturing Bureau relocate the old site of the Xishan regimental camp."
Liu Jin led the order.
Zhu Houzhao went to look at the R&D room again, and what made him speechless was that these craftsmen seemed to have opened up one by one and began to engage in intensive firing, but they didn't seem to have found the trick yet.
He really couldn't stand it, he went up in person, picked up the ruler, pen and paper, and sank into it, advanced weapons are not something that can be made by current industrial technology, even if you know the principle and production method, just stamping the die can not be completed, in a word, the production equipment is a hard injury.
Since advanced weapons cannot be made for the time being, then there is a weapon that can be made, and the weapons that shoot intensively are naturally machine guns, and with the current technology, the Maxim machine gun and the Madsen machine gun are crude, but the technical requirements are not very high, and they can be done.
For most of the day, Zhu Houzhao carefully wrote and painted on the paper, one by one, and the production and assembly process, which was gradually completed, he was very satisfied with his masterpiece, and handed over the drawings to the craftsman; "Try to build it, and get it out of it."
The craftsmen held the drawings and were amazed, there is such an artifact in the world, and His Majesty's head does not know how it grows, and such an artifact can be made.
Zhu Houzhao marked the method of use on the paper, as well as the shooting standard requirements, so that you can see at a glance what is the real intensive shooting, enjoying the worship and admiration from the ancients, Zhu Houzhao's vanity has been greatly satisfied.
"If you have any questions that you don't understand, send them to ask me, and I will wait for your good news." After speaking, he left with his hands behind his back humming a little song.
At the end of the year, the monument to the heroes that Zhu Houzhao asked to build has been completed, and the contribution of cement is indispensable, and it can be completed at the end of the year, which is also Zhu Houzhao's request.
Like to make trouble, this is Zhu Houzhao's nature, since it is the end of the year, then engage in a unique activity, so that the people of the capital will also be lively, plus he is about to officially go to the year, the court is already busy for this, so, he thought about it, and made another holy decree.
In the future, a big military parade will be held every year, and this year it will be set on the first day of the first lunar month, the New Year's Day, and at the same time change the year name, Zhengde.
So the history of Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao officially appeared on the stage of history.
Zhu Houzhao said a word, the ministers were quiet, the year name of Zhengde is also what they want to say, but what the hell is this big military parade? I don't know what the emperor is going to do, but the 12 regiments and battalions in the capital, as well as the Iron Eagle Guard, are named to participate in the parade, and they have already started training.
The generals of the Tuntian Guards in various localities must rush to the capital on the eve of the New Year's Day, and those who fail to meet the deadline will be dismissed.
The order has been sent to the entire Ming Dynasty for 800 miles, and the army is complaining and cluttering, muttering in my heart, Mom, there are still a few days left on Zhengdan, and Lao Tzu is too late to fly, no way, complaining is complaining, or hurry up to pack your bags and rush to the capital with a few guards.
The military bigwigs and the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the three elders entered the palace to meet His Majesty and asked for instructions on the specifications and etiquette system, and Zhu Houzhao said, "You don't have to worry about it, I have my own plans." ”
They didn't ask any more, Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen were summoned into the palace and discussed in the palace, Zhang Zhong was busy training soldiers according to Zhu Houzhao's instructions, and the 12th regiment battalion was also temporarily taken over by Zhang Zhong, including the forbidden army, which also had to be trained, and they were very busy.
The envoys of the various vassal states in the capital are also invited, to visit the Zhengdan military parade, which is a new word, they half-understand and half-understand the holy decree, looking forward to the Zhengdan military parade, what will be seen.
Zhu Houzhao intends to take this good opportunity to declare the force of the Ming Dynasty and fight to obey the four yi? That's not enough, I not only want to dance, but also want you to fight the fear in your heart, I want you to obey, you can't accept it, I want to bully you, then bully you, don't accept it? The fate of the Tatars and the Duoyan Tribe is a lesson for you, weigh it yourself, and who else is not convinced!
Although there are not as many vassal states as there are in the Ming Dynasty now, there are still some of them, such as the envoys of Goryeo, such as the envoys of the Japanese people, etc., are all impressively listed, and even the merchants of the Warat people have been found by the Jinyi Guard and invited them to participate in the military parade.
Among them, there are some people from Western countries, although there are not many, but there are still people in this era, the navigation technology of Portugal and Spain, which is relatively strong, these are considered pathfinders, preparing for the future discovery of the New World.
There are still 10 days to go.
The continuous Makqin still hasn't been built, calculating the time, I'm afraid it's too late to show it, which makes Zhu Houzhao very regretful, however, because the airship has gradually mastered the technology, it has built ten, plus the original one, now Zhu Houzhao has eleven airships, when the time comes, as soon as it appears in the air, these soil bun ancients are afraid to be stunned.
Artillery barrels, cannon barrels, grenades, and Hanyang-made thermal weapons that have crossed the era will not only be displayed this time, but also strike drill phalanxes, air strike phalanxes, and integrated ground and air strikes. ”
In the future, when the navy is trained, rich ships are built, and there will be a large-scale military parade of sea, land, and air three-in-one strike drills, then it will be called exciting.
The destruction of the Tatars did give a deterrent to many surrounding vassal states, but I didn't expect that even the powerful and arrogant Tatars were destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty was really still the behemoth that could not be provoked, and the awe quietly rose, and all countries were reconsidering whether to resume the court.
Especially Warat, their strength is not as strong as a hundred years ago, and now that the Ming defense line is advancing, they are facing the Ming army again, saying that there is no pressure is false, but their Taishi is not smart enough, and he still looks at the Ming from the previous perspective.
The Ming army will not stay for long, and it won't be long before the Ming army withdraws and continues the policy of restraint, and the territory of the Tatars is theirs.
The idea was good, but if they knew what the Tatars were facing, would they have the courage to do so?
The army of the Ming Dynasty, because of this great victory, the military appearance has been completely renewed, and it is no longer the muddy appearance of the past, and the emperor attaches so much importance to them, raising the value of the soldiers, and everyone gradually has a glorious mind of being a soldier, such an army is the most terrible and the most effective army.
Zhu Hou, in accordance with the basic requirements promulgated by the book, dared to fight, won the battle, fought immediately when called, and won the battle.
The military song composed by the emperor himself and composed by Yang Shen was sung loudly in the military camp, and it was popular among the people, and they basically learned it, and they knew that His Majesty had composed it for them, so they sang it more vigorously.
In short, I was preparing to report to the emperor and show the emperor at the time of the big military parade.
Zhu Houzhao's wedding is not far away, and Xia finally met Zhu Houzhao, but when Zhu Houzhao saw her for the first time, he was suddenly startled, and he was in a trance, and there was a sense of time and space disorder.
Isn't this the woman who has been entangled with him for the eighth generation? So soon she also appeared, her fate in this life, is it still not changed, Xia is very beautiful, smart and dignified, if you don't like it, you are deceiving yourself, but there is a shadow in your heart.
Since he crossed over, he has chosen to forget his fate, and now Xia's appearance seems to remind him that he will still take the old road in this ninth life, Zhu Houzhao's face has become cloudy, and the queen mother has seen him with a wrong look, and he doesn't like Xia in the future, and Xia is also very panicked, and he doesn't know what he did badly, which makes the emperor dislike.
"Your Majesty, why are you stunned, don't you invite Miss Xia to get up, how cold is it on the ground" The Queen Mother said in a bad tone, and some were strange.
Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses after the Queen Mother's reminder, and suddenly thought, what's wrong with me, she is a little girl, even if it is destined, it is not her fault, do I want to blame her for this, since it is already doomed, then let it be, I can save her desperately in previous lives, can I be timid in this life, hehe.
He figured it out and hurriedly explained; "Queen Mother, I want to go elsewhere, it's my fault that I've been busy these days."
When the Queen Mother heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Houzhao told Xia to get up, Xia's panicked heart gradually let go under Zhu Houzhao's relaxed words, and they talked very happily, Xia was full of joy, without a trace of resistance, and the Queen Mother was happy to see that the emperor was satisfied.
