Daming 1805

Chapter 53 The news spreads all over the world
The old emperor Zhu Zhongliang knew in his heart that in the process of withdrawing the vassal and reforming the vassal, the vassal king was facing great risks.

The upper level of the vassal state will basically support it, and the middle and lower levels will at least not oppose it. The only person who may oppose it is the vassal king.

But the opposition in this case is obviously meaningless, and it will bring them danger.

After seeing Zhu Zhongdong's petition, Zhu Zhongliang specially reminded the relevant officials to ensure the safety of the feudal king during the process of withdrawing the feudal vassal.

It is normal for these brothers, sons and nephews to have opinions, and it is reasonable to take care of them.

Especially when the current situation demands stability.

The princes and ministers were all smart people, and they immediately understood what the old emperor meant.

Therefore, when continuing to deal with the reform of the Ryukyu Kingdom and Fengyuan Kingdom, the attitude is also more gentle and friendly.

Next, the reform of the Ryukyu Kingdom was carried out normally, and the selection of Haidong Chief Envoy officials immediately began.

The division and posts of Fengyuan's administrative envoys were formulated, and a preliminary plan was formed at the eleventh o'clock in the capital, and then immediately sent to the monarchs and ministers of Fengyuan for confirmation.

Li Hongbin, the left chief of Fengyuan Kingdom, was stunned for several seconds after receiving the telegram from the imperial court, almost thinking that he had read it wrong.

It is a very normal and reasonable arrangement that Fengyuan Yiguo finally gave a chief envoy, the divisions and posts of 48 counties in six prefectures.

The highest civil official is the political envoy from the left and right of the second rank. One is given to the prince, and the court will arrange another one, which he and other Fengyuan officials cannot get.

However, from the left and right of the third rank to participate in the government, plus the left and right to consult from the fourth rank, and the six prefects who are tentatively scheduled to be from the fourth rank, they can arrange the main officials of the palace.

Simply counting the grades, everyone can be promoted, and at least the real power will not be reduced. It can be said that it is very appropriate.

Previously, based on the area of ​​Ryukyu and Dongning Island, everyone thought that Fengyuan should be able to get two envoys, so the special situation of Ryukyu was not considered at all.

That's why Li Hongbin hurriedly poured cold water on them at that time, otherwise there might be complaints at this time, and even if they could explain it themselves, they would feel uncomfortable.

It is better to lower expectations in advance before the government decree is issued, so that everyone can accept it in a stable manner.

The current placement of officials from the vassal states by the imperial court has basically not exceeded Li Hongbin's expectations.

But the response to King Fengyuan's request really surprised Li Hongbin.

The emperor completely and unconditionally agreed to the request of his king, which was a slightly excessive request in his opinion.

In particular, Honglu Temple also reminded that the safety of the king must be guaranteed.

This shows that His Majesty the Emperor also felt that this kind of withdrawal from the vassal was unfair to the vassal, so he was willing to take care and comfort.

Li Hongbin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, quickly sorted out his mood, and met his king with a telegram.

Zhu Zhongdong, the king of Fengyuan, was originally in a very uneasy mood, worrying about gains and losses.

After reading the telegram handed over by Li Hongbin, he was also stunned for a while:

"This... Your Majesty agreed to this?"

Li Hongbin next to him thought about it and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty has agreed, and the Ministry of Households, Ministry of Officials, and Honglu Temple have all specially instructed that in the process of organizing the affairs of the Three Divisions of Fengyuan, we must ensure the safety of the king."

Zhu Zhongdong was stunned for a few seconds, and then muttered:

"Your Majesty, the eldest brother, is really a virtuous king! The lonely king...you have nothing to worry about..."

After a few seconds of silence, Zhu Zhongdong said:
"Respond to the court to thank you, and then inform everyone to pack up and return to the capital immediately, and start the reform immediately."

Li Hongbin immediately bowed in agreement, and then asked again:
"Your Majesty, if other kingdoms come to inquire about news, should we inform them?"

After pondering for a while, Zhu Zhongdong stroked his beard and smiled and said:

"According to the truth, there is no need to hide it. In the future, you may be neighbors in the capital. If you sell it a little better now, it will be a favor in the future.

"And the court should also hope that we can testify to other vassal states so that we can confirm the news of the withdrawal of vassal states?
"Some of us in Fengyuan must have heard the wind and want to confirm the news, right?
"Then just send a newspaper to the whole country and make everyone happy!"

Li Hongbin also smiled and nodded:
"King... Your Highness is wise."

Hearing this title, Zhu Zhongdong was obviously stunned for a moment, how did he become His Highness.

Zhu Zhongdong understood immediately that he would be the Prince of Daming in the future, but not His Highness.

So Zhu Zhongdong couldn't help laughing, patted Li Hongbin's shoulder lightly and said:
"Our Fengyuan area is still the most promising place for Li Qing. Xiao'er is a political envoy. Li Qing will be a councillor in the future. We still need a lot of help from Li Qing..."

Li Hongbin was at ease, but on the surface he didn't dare.

At [-] noon that day, Fengyuan Kingdom officially released the official announcement of the kingdom.

The three divisions affiliated to the Daming court are about to be established within the territory of Fengyuan, and all immigrants and pure-blooded descendants are about to obtain Daming citizenship.

The people of Fengyuan Country had already heard some rumors, and the more senior people knew, the more they were waiting for the exact news.

As soon as the official announcement was made, the middle and upper classes of Fengyuan Kingdom immediately entered a state of cheering.

The streets of major cities in Fengyuan Country soon turned into a sea of ​​joy.

Many people laughed and bowed their hands in salute, feeling that they could finally keep the clouds open and see the moonlight, and they could finally call themselves Daming people in an upright manner.

At the same time, civilian intelligence personnel in various fields finally got the exact official news of Daming's withdrawal from the clan.

Then immediately use the fastest speed to spread these contents all over the world.

Fengyuan country uses the time of the Daming capital. At twelve noon in the Daming capital, it is still dark in most parts of the western countries.

Although the ministers and kings received notifications one after another, it took a lot of time for them to get up and gather together.

At this time, the time of the Three Kingdoms of Anxi happened to be around [-]:[-] in the morning. The king and the khans who had already woken up for breakfast just started to discuss the response plan directly.

The Three Kingdoms of Anxi are not the three Khanates of Central Asia in the original time and space, Bukhara, Khiva, and Kokand.

But the three countries of the Kazakh Khanate, the Khiva Khanate, and the Persian Safavid Dynasty.

The Kokand Khanate in this world, because it was too close to the rest of the Tianshan Mountains, after Daming integrated the Junggar Khanate, he took it away.

The Bukhara Khanate in the western part of the Kokand Khanate was carved up by the Ming Dynasty and the Khiva Khanate further west.

After that, after taking into account the ethnic composition of the Anxi region, the direct and indirect costs of domination, and the cost of large-scale official immigration, Daming did not continue to expand further west.

It did not continue to annex the Khiva Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate, nor did it completely annex Safi Persia, which was in civil strife, and certainly did not let it go.

Daming first intervened by force to stabilize the turbulent situation in the three kingdoms, build a pro-Daming regime locally, and protect the other side from being eroded by Lucia and Ottoman.

And then exerting economic and cultural influence on them over a long period of time, turning them into a strategic buffer zone that is nominally completely independent and actually more inclined to the Ming Dynasty.

Under the continuous influence of Ming Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms of Anxi maintained a state of peace and stability for more than 70 years, and completed the secular reform.

Because the international status of the three countries is very similar, the exchanges and contacts between them are quite close.

In particular, Daming built a railway in their west, near Daming, and after the telephone line was set up.

When one of the three countries receives the news, it is almost equivalent to the other two countries receiving the news, and they will use the dedicated line to call the other person directly.
