The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 834 The third Anglo-Dutch war broke out (seeking subscription for monthly ticket)

Even if the price of survival is to be a traitor, no one cares.

At least Amberdar didn't care.

As a member of Sudra, although his social status is higher than that of the untouchables, it is not so high. He lives by farming daily, but he has no food and clothing.

After the war between the Mughal Empire and Wu Zhou broke out, his stable life, although hungry and poor, was broken.

The roaring cavalry soldiers of Wu and Zhou killed Lord Kshatriya in the village, wiped out the whole family of Lord Kshatriya, and robbed all the food in the village.

Facing the tall horses of Wu Zhou's army, Amberdar and others dared not resist with muskets and swords. They could only kneel on the ground and tremble, watching Wu Zhou's cavalry rob them of their living food.

Even before leaving, many people were killed, many women were raped, and even newborn children were thrown to death in public for fun.

But even so, none of them dared to resist.

He could only bury his head deep and deeply in the mud, with his butt raised high, expressing his surrender.

It wasn't until Wu Zhoujun's cavalry had killed enough, robbed enough, and vented enough, and Shi Shiran left, that they dared to raise their heads and looked at the dilapidated surroundings in a daze.

Lost the food they depended on for survival, in order to make a living, they had no choice but to embark on the road of exile.

In the process of exile, many people were starved to death, many people died of diseases, killed by bandits, eaten by wild animals, and many people even became food in the mouths of their companions...

After learning that Wu Zhou was giving out porridge, they didn't care that Wu Zhou's cavalry robbed them of their living food, and they migrated in groups towards Wu Zhou's ruled area.

After more than half of them died on the road due to various reasons, the rest finally arrived at Wu Zhou's ruled area.

Andabel stood in the open space, holding a wooden bowl full of hot porridge in his hand.

Smelling the aroma of the porridge in the bowl, he couldn't help the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Ambeida didn't care about the heat, mixed the porridge water in the bowl with tears and snot, and swallowed it.

Even if the throat and mouth were scalded with blisters, he didn't care.

Because, he was really hungry for too long.

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way!"

Just as Andabel was chomping down on porridge, he was suddenly kicked.

Turning around, he saw a Wu Zhoubing with a knife on his waist leading a group of refugees towards the porridge shed. The reason why he was kicked was because he blocked the opponent's way.

Facing this violent and arrogant Wu Zhoubing, even though Andabel was kicked, he didn't dare to say anything, didn't even dare to have any resentment, and just retreated obediently.

After eating porridge, Andabel and others were taken to the river to take a bath, get a haircut, and check their bodies.

Then, Andabel was identified.

Looking at the other people who were also screened out, Andabel couldn't help feeling anxious.

The reason is simple. Most of the identified people are dark-skinned, low-caste men with strong bodies who often do farm work.

There is even a group of untouchables, that is, untouchables!
"What is this for?"

"Why are we screened out? Is this trying to kill us?"

"Why, is it because we are low caste?"

"..."

A group of people couldn't help talking, and Andabel also interrupted subconsciously.

But then they were given a whip, and they were told to be quiet.

The leading military officer, Wu Zhou, glanced at the group of people who had been screened out, nodded in satisfaction and said.

"Not bad!"

"At first glance, these people are honest and willing to work, and their bodies are not bad. They can support themselves after a few full meals."

"Send them all to the preparation army station!"

This Wu Zhoujun officer is a Han Chinese, so he naturally speaks Chinese.

Although Andabel and the others couldn't understand Chinese, there was an interpreter on the side to ensure that communication would not be a problem.

When Andabel and the others heard that they were going to be sent to the army to farm, they were also relieved.

The uneasiness of eating plain rice also disappeared.

They just said, where in the world does a free lunch come from? How could someone provide them with free food and drink?

Isn't that right!

They are either low-caste Asan or untouchables, and they are destined to suffer from birth.

As long as they can survive, who is not planting land?

Wang Lishu looked at the honest Ah San in front of him, cleared his throat and continued.

"Since you have eaten my Da Zhou's food, you have to work hard for me Da Zhou."

"Go to the military camp now, and after you have planted the land for a few years, you can be recruited into the army."

"Don't look at you are all low caste and even untouchables now, but this is only for a while."

"As long as you can obey your orders in the army and make military achievements, you can use your military achievements to elevate your caste, and you can enjoy life and enjoyment that even high castes can't get."

"Money, food, wine, everything, even if it is a woman from the Brahmin and Kshatriya family, you can grab one and go back to be your wife, and you can do whatever you want."

Wang Lishu's words are very vulgar, but you can only be vulgar to a group of Asan who can't read big characters.

If you want them to work hard for Da Zhou, you can only bind them with naked money interests.

Otherwise, they can't understand!
What Wang Lishu didn't expect was that he just said that as long as he made military achievements, he could raise the ranks of these low-caste untouchables.

The translation has just been completed.

Some of those untouchables mustered up the courage to stand up and refute.

"No... no way!"

"We are all low-caste untouchables. We are born to suffer. We must not enjoy it, and we must not offend adults of high caste. Otherwise, we will go to Shiva Hell after death."

After this person's voice fell, others stood up and echoed.

"Yes, caste is innate, it is determined at birth, and cannot be changed."

"We are low caste in this life, that's because we enjoyed blessings in our previous life, and we are here to pay off our debts in this life. Only when we pay off our debts in this life can we enjoy blessings in the next life."

"Lord Shiva, we must not offend adults of high caste."

"..."

Listening to the translator's translation, Wang Lishu's face turned dark.

He also felt helpless, these untouchables really couldn't support the wall with mud.

They didn't even want the chance to change their destiny when Da Zhou gave them the opportunity to raise their class, and they had to look forward to the afterlife...

What a fool!
Ha ha, laugh to death, are they still them in the afterlife?

However, although he was contradicted, Wang Lishu was not angry.

Because during this period of time, he has been contradicted by those untouchables many times.

Basically the same rhetoric!

Although he hated these people for their ineffectiveness, Wang Lishu had to admit that such obedient citizens were really the best governed obedient citizens in the world.

The smooth rule of the Great Zhou in India is not unrelated to the obedience of these untouchables.

However, not being angry doesn't mean Wang Lishu won't kill people.

He is now representing Da Zhou in front of these untouchables, and if they dare to contradict him, they are contradicting Da Zhou.

This wind cannot last forever!

And to establish prestige, the simplest and most effective method is nothing more than killing people.

Wang Lishu waved his hand and ordered.

"Pick out those who dance the most among these people, and send them to the afterlife in advance to enjoy happiness."

Andabell watched helplessly as several untouchables who upheld the caste system were dragged out, and then beheaded in front of all of them...

It is worth mentioning that those who most uphold the caste system are basically untouchables from the lowest background.

On the contrary, the two low-caste groups, Vaishya and Sudra, did not maintain the caste system as expected.

To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of silent costs.

These untouchables have suffered too much in the first half of their lives, doing the hardest and most humble jobs, and their income is extremely meager.

The reason why they grit their teeth and live is to expect to be reincarnated as a high caste to enjoy the blessings in the next life.

But now someone tells them that the caste system is fake and there is no afterlife at all, so they will naturally not accept it.

Therefore, they are the ones who most defend the caste system.

Although Vaishya and Sudra did not live well, they were much better than the untouchable untouchables.

The cost of their silence is naturally less than those of the untouchables.

……

New Shanhaiguan outside the city!

Looking at the majestic Guancheng in front of him, as well as the densely packed bastion forts and other buildings that provide cover for the Guancheng, John couldn't help but grow his mouth.

The city built by Wu Zhou at the Khyber Pass is stronger and more majestic than the fortress built by the British in Mumbai.

Throughout the entire Guancheng, each artillery position is very obvious.

The black muzzle protrudes from the gun emplacement, full of deterrence.

Most of Wu Zhou's heavy artillery that was inconvenient to be transported to the front line of Lahore was arranged at the New Shanhaiguan.

Used to consolidate city defense!

In order to build this Guancheng in a short period of time, a total of hundreds of thousands of Indian untouchables are working on it.

And so far, at least tens of thousands of people have been exhausted to death on the construction site of Guancheng.

A mass grave not far from Guancheng was already filled with countless corpses.

Most of them are exhausted workers!

However, no one cared at all.

Wu Sangui was quite worried at first, if he oppressed these untouchables so much, would they resist?

After all, if he, Wu Sangui, dared to do this in the Central Plains, there would have been wars everywhere.

Wasn’t the prelude to the demise of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties started by the millions of river repairmen on the Yellow River construction site?
After all, since ancient times, large-scale engineering construction has been prone to chaos.

However, the result proved that Wu Sangui had overthought.

Let alone these untouchables resist.

I don't even have the will to resist!

They even enlighten themselves, the suffering they are suffering now is for the benefit of the next life...

Just outrageous!
Then, Wu Sangui squeezed these untouchables, and he no longer had any worries.

It is also thanks to the hard work of these untouchables that the Guancheng of Xinshanguan was able to be built on such a scale in just a few years.

John and his party went straight to Xinshan Customs, and then went to see Wu Sangui.

After a long period of conditioning, Wu Sangui's physical condition has gradually improved.

Although he still can't deal with government affairs hard, it's okay to find time to meet foreign envoys.

John and others came to see Wu Sangui under the banner of Britain.

John and others were brought into the city and headed all the way to the Anxi Palace located in the city.

It is said to be a royal palace, but it is actually a slightly larger landlord compound.

Wu Zhou is now facing great war pressure, and Wu Sangui has neither the intention nor the ability to overhaul the palace.

A large courtyard was built, barely able to live there.

John was brought to the main hall of the Anxi Palace, and when he looked up, he saw an old man sitting on a dragon chair with white beard and hair, and a very obvious listless spirit.

Although this old man was a bit listless, he had a tall frame, and his aura was quite impressive. At first glance, he seemed to be a big shot who had been in a high position for a long time.

"British envoy John, meet His Majesty the King!"

John respectfully bowed down and finished kneeling.

Wu Sangui lifted his eyelids slightly, looking at the yellow-haired and green-eyed barbarian below, although there was disdain and contempt in his eyes, he still spoke.

"Ahem! British envoy?"

"I don't know why the special envoy came to ask to see Gusuo?"

John heard this and spoke.

"Your Majesty the King, I am here for peace."

"Respect Aurangzeb Khan and hope that I, the United Kingdom, can end up mediating for your country and the Mughal Empire and bring precious peace to both sides."

After John's voice fell, Wu Sangui didn't show any expression on his face, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It seems that it is not only Wu Zhou who can't fight anymore, but the Mughal Empire on the opposite side should also be unable to fight.

Otherwise, the Mughal Empire would not ask Britain to mediate.

However, although Wu Sangui's heart was moved, it was not obvious on the surface.

His eyes narrowed slightly, narrowing into a long and narrow slit, and he spoke.

"Hehe, peace talks?"

"Why does Gu have peace talks with Aurangzeb?"

"On the current battlefield, I, Da Zhou, have the overall advantage."

Negotiations, that's all!

Now that it has finally taken the lead, it is natural to make use of this advantage.

Don't talk about anything else, if you don't let go now, and strive for some benefits for yourself, it will definitely be fine.

Hearing this, John just continued to speak.

"The war has progressed to the next step. It is already a huge burden for your country and the Mughal Empire."

"Although your country temporarily occupies the advantage on the battlefield, it still cannot break through the city of Derry after all."

"And the Mughal Empire can continue to recruit soldiers and horses from the south at any time to defend the safety of Delhi."

"And, with the wealth of the Mughal Empire, the respected Aurangzeb Khan can hire more mercenaries to join the battlefield at any time."

"You want to break through Delhi, but it is not an easy task!"

"Rather than let the war continue, let the brave soldiers die on the battlefield for nothing, and let countless civilians die in the flames of war."

"Instead of having peace talks in the name of God, use negotiations to resolve disputes."

"This is something that benefits both your side and the Mughal Empire!"

When Wu Sangui heard the words, he just sneered and said unceremoniously.

"so what?"

"My Great Zhou is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, and the son of Great Ming has agreed to sell a batch of heavy siege artillery to Da Zhou."

"As long as the heavy siege artillery is in place, the city of Derry...hehe, it will definitely be taken down with one blow."

"As long as the strong city of Delhi is gone, will there be an army in the Mughals who dare to engage in large-scale field battles with me?"

"Even if Delhi cannot be conquered, my Dazhou cavalry can still drive straight into the Ganges plain, and no one can stop it."

"My Great Zhou now has all the advantages, so why give up my advantages and negotiate peace with the Mughal Empire?"

Of course, what Wu Sangui said was not a lie, Daming really agreed to sell a batch of heavy siege artillery to Wu Sangui.

Now Daming is changing breech-loading guns on a small scale, especially in the fortresses around Nanjing City. Many heavy artillery have been replaced by breech-loading guns with superior performance.

As long as Wu Sangui can afford the price, Daming naturally doesn't mind selling him a batch of heavy artillery.

This conversation can actually be regarded as a verbal confrontation between Wu Sangui and John.

John said that the Europeans stood behind the Mughal Empire, and they could send mercenaries to join the war.

And Wu Sangui said that I also have a backer in Da Zhou.

Your mercenaries may join the battle at any time, but the heavy artillery sold to us by Da Ming can be put in place immediately.

When John heard this, his face was not very good-looking, but he continued to speak.

"I hope His Majesty the King will think twice and make a small concession for the sake of peace."

"I believe countless people will remember your achievements."

Wu Sangui just snorted coldly and spoke.

"Look, it's you British who want to mediate peace talks?"

"Take a pee and look in the mirror, are you worthy?"

"If you want me to have peace talks with Da Zhou, unless Da Ming ends up mediating!"

"Great Zhou is a vassal state of Ming, and only accepts the mediation of the emperor,"

Obviously the British are biased towards the Mughal Empire.

Wu Sangui would not have peace talks under the mediation of the British. Besides, hasn't he already written to the emperor to ask for mediation?

I believe Daming will have an answer soon.

He really doesn't care about the British.

When John heard this, his face was also a little ugly.

A kind of humiliation of being underestimated surfaced in his heart, but he quickly suppressed this feeling of unwillingness.

Because he knew that he was incapable of making Wu Sangui pay the price.

That being the case, even if he said something today, it would not have any weight.

John took a deep breath and spoke.

"Your Majesty the King, do you mean that your country will agree to the peace talks only with the mediation of Ming Dynasty?"

Wu Sangui nodded slightly, indicating that was the case.

John nodded to show that he understood.

Then, he bid farewell to Wu Sangui!
Although his trip failed to achieve the purpose of mediating peace talks, he still got an accurate answer from Wu Sangui, and it was not fruitless.

At the very least, after returning, I can also explain to the Governor of Wales...

……

Soon, the Governor of Wales got a reply.

Then, he forwarded the news to the Mughal Empire.

After Aurangzeb Khan learned of the news, he even called his courtiers to discuss matters.

After deliberation, they decided to send a mission to Daming, requesting Ming to mediate the situation in the subcontinent.

In any case, the Mughal Empire did not want to fight anymore.

The mission from the Mughal Empire set off from the city of Delhi, and then headed towards the plateau.

Prepare to cross the plateau and enter Daming.

Daming also laid telegraph lines on the plateau.

After the mission of the Mughal Empire arrived in Lhasa, Lhasa reported the situation to Nanjing by telegram.

Along with it, there was also a translation of the Mughal Empire's credential telegram.

The news was sent to Nanjing quickly by telegram.

After receiving the news, Zhu Hongyu also showed joy.

Originally, he was still thinking about how Daming should choose the right time to mediate the situation in the subcontinent.

Now it's all right, it's not just Wu Zhou who sent Daming a letter of credence requesting mediation.

Even the Mughal Empire expressed its hope that Ming would end!
In this way, it would be justifiable for Daming to mediate again.

Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while, and ordered.

"Proceed with the order, send a telegram to King Anxi and the Mughal Empire, let them send envoys to Beijing, and Ming Dynasty will provide them with a venue for peace talks in Nanjing."

"Da Ming will also mediate for it!"

Zhu Hongyu wanted to take this opportunity to increase the weight of Nanjing City.

It also strengthens Daming's status in the world!
Due to the existence of the telegram, Wu Zhou quickly received the imperial decree from Daming.

Wu Sangui even ordered the establishment of a mission, and sent his son Wu Yingxiong to lead the mission to Nanjing to prepare for peace talks.

Of course, it is impossible for Wu Yingxiong to go here just for peace talks.

The pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven is the most important thing!

Although the Mughal Empire did not have telegrams, to be honest, Lhasa is not far from the city of Delhi in the Mughal Empire.

After Daming issued the imperial edict, there was a delay of three or four days before the Mughal Empire received the imperial edict from Daming.

Although Aurangzeb was unwilling to hold peace talks in Nanjing City of Ming Dynasty, this matter was not up to him.

In order to end the war as soon as possible, he could only order the establishment of a mission to prepare for departure.

The other side contacted the British, hoping that the British could participate in the mediation.

Wu Zhou is a vassal state of Daming, and in mediation, Daming will definitely favor Wu Zhou.

If Aurangzeb does not want to suffer too much, he can only find a way to introduce external forces.

As for the fact that the Mughal Empire also surrendered to Ming Dynasty and became a vassal of Ming Dynasty...

To be honest, Aurangzeb did not think about this choice.

But it was quickly denied by himself!

He Aurangzeb is a descendant of Genghis Khan. Although he has been greened, he still believes that he is the orthodox place of Great Mongolia.

As the orthodox seat of Great Mongolia, how can I submit to the Ming Dynasty?
If he chose to submit to the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian nobles in the Mughal Empire might even make a fuss to overthrow his rule.

After all, the Great Yuan Dynasty established by the Mongols was overthrown by the Ming Dynasty.

Faced with Aurangzeb's request for the British to participate in the mediation, Wells agreed after a little consideration.

Then I was going to send someone to contact the British ambassador in Nanjing...

At this time, more than half of the six years of Guangfu had already passed, and the weather was about to enter autumn.

……

Meanwhile, Continental Europe!
The third Anglo-Dutch war has broken out in full swing, and has entered a fierce stage.

In March 1672, Britain went undeclared war and took the lead in attacking the Dutch fleet.

Then lose!

The reputation of the Dutch sea coachman is not just blown out. Over the years of trade between the East and the West, the amount of advanced arms that the Dutch have obtained from the East, such as shells, gunpowder, and artillery, far exceeds that of Britain and France.

In this war, the Netherlands suppressed the United Kingdom at the beginning of the war by virtue of its large number of sea ships and the large amount of arms purchased from Ming Dynasty.

In history, even if the Netherlands did not buy a large amount of arms from the East, it actually won the naval battle.

It's just that the Dutch haven't had time to be happy for repelling the British invasion again.

King Louis XIV of France also declared war on the Netherlands and sent the French Army to advance deep into the Netherlands.

Soon, within a month or two, 60.00% of the Netherlands fell.

Immediately afterwards, the Dutch defended Amsterdam in order to prevent the French from continuing to attack.

Brazenly dug up the seawall, flooded the Dutch lowlands with sea water, and used water instead of soldiers to defend Amsterdam.

Prince William III of Orange was appointed to the throne to preside over the defense of the provinces.

At the same time, the second naval battle between Britain and the Netherlands broke out.

The Netherlands won again, which inspired the morale of the Netherlands to fight to the end.

After William III became the governor of the United Provinces, he began to use diplomatic means to mediate the war, pulling Spain and Austria to the same front as the Netherlands.

Just at the same time, France also completed the union with Prussia.

The situation in Europe is in chaos!

Countries such as Britain, France, Prussia, and Josio stood in different camps, making a mess...

Almost at the same time, the Tsar also made an increase in troops to Siberia, preparing to retake Siberia that had been recovered by Ming Dynasty.

And in Central Asia and Central Siberia and other places, they broke arms with Daming.

During this year, wars broke out almost everywhere in the world.

……

At the end of the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, there were several rounds of consultations between the Ming Dynasty and the Tokugawa shogunate.

After the Tokugawa shogunate retreated and allowed Da Ming to jointly participate in the development of Iwami Yinzan, Da Ming also agreed to take over the big trouble of Emperor Lingyuan.

Of course, this big trouble is only for the Tokugawa shogunate.

Zhu Hongyu didn't care.

He doesn't mind adding a dwarf to the members of his Heavenly King of Subjugation.

In fact, for Daming, taking over Emperor Lingyuan's family is a good thing that serves multiple purposes.

First of all, the Tokugawa shogunate backed down and allowed Daming to participate in the joint development of Iwami Yinshan.

The benefits are obvious!

With the continuous development of Ming Dynasty's industry and commerce, it was time for a large amount of gold and silver inflows to stimulate economic development and prevent "money shortages".

Although there is blood-sucking trade between the East and the West, even Da Ming himself is preparing to develop San Francisco in the New World, as well as the gold mines on the Australian mainland in the south.

But one more Ishijian Yinshan would be a great thing.

The output of Iwami Silver Mountain at its peak can produce 30.00% of the world's total silver output every year.

This scale is already quite impressive.

Of course, the concession made by the Tokugawa shogunate was only to allow Daming to invest in Iwami Yinshan, and everyone to jointly develop it, but did not mean to cede Iwami Yinshan.

The importance of Iwami Ginzan to Japan is self-evident.

Without Iwami Ginzan, Japan would not be able to purchase so many arms and primary industrial products from Ming Dynasty simply by relying on population trade and exporting labor.

The so-called joint development, to put it bluntly, means that Daming provides funds and technology, the Tokugawa shogunate and Mori provide manpower and mines, and the three parties share the profits equally.

As for how to get Maori to agree to Da Ming's entry to share the interests of Yinshan...

Hmm... How should I put it, this is not something Daming should consider.

The Tokugawa Shogunate will take care of it!

Although Iwami Ginzan is under the control of the Mori clan, doesn't the Mori clan still have to submit to the Tokugawa shogunate?

Iwami Yinshan has such a large output and such a large profit every year that a Maori family alone cannot afford it.

What the Tokugawa shogunate ate was the real big head.

If the Maoris didn't know how to step back and divide the money, just a "crime" would be enough to destroy the Maoris.

One-third of the world's annual silver production cannot be maintained by a small Maori family.

To be honest, to a certain extent, the admission of Daming this time is actually a good thing for Maori.

It is common knowledge that triangles have stability.

At the very least, after Daming enters the arena, Mori no longer has to worry about being squeezed by the Tokugawa shogunate...

Well, after Daming entered the arena, it was time for the Tokugawa shogunate and the Mori clan to keep warm.

For Daming, apart from the interests of Iwami Ginzan, taking over Emperor Lingyuan is Emperor Lingyuan himself.

Daming controlled Emperor Lingyuan, which was equivalent to having an extra pawn to influence the situation in Japan and control the Tokugawa shogunate.

Still an important pawn!
If one day the Tokugawa shogunate becomes disobedient, Daming can support the restoration of the emperor.

For example, the Ming army can directly land on the Japanese mainland under the banner of the restoration of the emperor...

At that time, all the top and bottom of the Tokugawa shogunate will be dead without a place to bury them!
Therefore, Zhu Hongyu certainly doesn't mind taking over Emperor Lingyuan.

After the two sides finalized the matter, Tokugawa Jiaqing also sent someone to send Emperor Lingyuan to Daming.

At the beginning of the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Lingyuan's imperial ship arrived in Shanghai.

Then, he came to Nanjing by train.

It is worth mentioning that, after several years of construction, the trains together with Nanjing and Shanghai have been opened to traffic.

Although the speed of the train is not fast, the opening of this train also symbolizes that the transportation development of Ming Dynasty has entered a new stage.

In just one day and night, Emperor Lingyuan arrived in Nanjing from Shanghai by train.

If this speed is placed in later generations, it will be no different from the speed of a turtle, and I am afraid that it will be scolded to death.

But if it is placed in this era, it can already be regarded as against the sky.

After Emperor Lingyuan entered Beijing, he was summoned by Zhu Hongyu.

After being taught some etiquette of pilgrimage to the emperor, he met at the first court meeting in February of the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Wu Yingxiong arrived outside Nanjing with Wu Zhou's mission!

Departing from Xinshan Customs, the current temporary capital of Wu and Zhou, the group traveled through wind and rain, traveled through Central Asia, passed through the Western Regions, and then arrived at Gansu-Shaanxi, exited Tongguan, turned south from Henan, passed Xiangyang, arrived in Wuchang, and finally turned to the waterway. Down the Yangtze River.

It took a total of about half a year to travel across half of the Eurasian continent, and Wu Zhou's mission finally arrived in Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Mughal missions received the news late, and they had to contact the British and cross the plateau before reaching Daming, so the journey was slower.

Therefore, its mission has just arrived in Chongqing, and is going to take the water route and go down the river to Nanjing.

It is estimated that it will take half a month to arrive in Nanjing.

……

The first day of February in the seventh year of the restoration of Ming Dynasty!

Great meeting!
Now the Dachaohui of Ming Dynasty has become a pure formalism.

Basically, it is held every ten days, which can be regarded as a summary meeting of government affairs.

Apart from summarizing the government, it is almost useless.

The really important national policies will not be mentioned in such a big court meeting. Usually, the cabinet will hold a small meeting to get it done.

Zhu Hongyu didn't pay much attention to such a formalistic grand meeting.

The reason why it is held every ten days is just to prove to the world that Zhu Hongyu is not negligent in his administration.

Generally speaking, if nothing happened, Zhu Hongyu would seldom deliberately hold a court meeting.

Of course, if there is an important matter that needs to be announced on a big occasion, Zhu Hongyu doesn't mind adding a grand meeting temporarily.

Well, Zhu Hongyu is very flexible when doing things.
