I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Cheng Jialong actually has his own opinions and judgments on many things.

For example, when dealing with the chieftain issue, Cheng Shijie adopted a relatively mild approach, which was to replace the Red River Plain in Annan with the chieftain territory.

Therefore, the response to this reform is relatively mild and relatively calm.But the problem is, Cheng Jialong thinks that doing so will leave hidden dangers. After all, not all chieftains are like Qin Liangyu. Qin Liangyu's stone pillar chieftains are loyal to the court, whether it is the Chongzhen Dynasty or the Tianqi Dynasty, including the current Dingxin Dynasty.

Cheng Jialong left different opinions on the cabinet resolution on the reform of the native land and the return to the Liu family. The issue of chieftains must be completely solved. The chieftains who refused to change the native land and return to the native land must be suppressed with thunderous means.

The cabinet also felt that it could not be too laissez-faire, but according to Cheng Shijie's method, most of the chieftain issues had been solved. At least nearly two-thirds of the chieftains gave up their original jurisdiction and began to migrate to Annan.

However, there were still nearly two hundred chieftains, big and small, who refused to change their ways. Even the officials who went to the local area to investigate agriculture and hydrology and climate were caught and beheaded by the chieftains.

The cabinet was furious and decided to send troops to suppress it. As a result, there were wars and flames all over the southwest.The imperial court also expected this situation, and those chieftains would definitely have to deal with it. They rebelled, playing into the imperial court's hands.

But the enslaved slaves also rebelled, and they were more active than the chieftains. Zheng Sen couldn't figure it out: "Your Majesty, the imperial court is obviously helping those slaves and allocating fields to them to make them live a better life." Oh my god, why are they rebelling?"

Cheng Jialong smiled faintly and said: "Those slaves have been bullied by the chieftain since they were born, and gradually they feel that it is only natural for the chieftain to ride on their heads. If someone wants to kick the chieftain riding on their head, they will Even more angry than the kicked toast! These bastards are hopeless!"

Zheng Sen asked: "Then how should the court respond?"

Cheng Jialong said: "We can only fight until they regard the imperial court as their new master."

In addition to this matter, there is also the layout of Nanyang. Cheng Jialong is also more concerned about this matter. He established diplomatic relations with Ming Dynasty in Spain, and Spain hopes that Ming Dynasty can send fleets and missions to Spain.

The advice given by the cabinet is to send a few ships and 200 people.However, Cheng Jialong gave a completely different opinion. The first was to dispatch a fleet on a large scale, and to dispatch the Ming Dynasty's latest warships.

However, the imperial court now only has four fleets. If too many warships are deployed, Ming Dynasty may not be able to cope with it if the Dutch provoke a war in Southeast Asia.

Cheng Jialong proposed a compromise, asking the Daminghai Military Academy to send all trainees who have been studying for more than one year overseas to Europe. This ocean trip is also a very valuable training opportunity.

With the firm support of Cheng Jialong, Ming Dynasty went to the Spanish Empire's ocean fleet. The cabinet appointed Deng Xianwu, a student from the Naval War College, as the commander of the ocean fleet.

This Deng Xianwu was also the nephew of the famous Ming Dynasty general Deng Zilong and the former Navy Commander of the Dongjiang Army. However, he was educated in his family and had very solid theoretical knowledge of naval warfare. Since the establishment of the Naval Academy, Deng Xianwu had been in charge of naval officer training.

This time, the Ming Dynasty's ocean-going European fleet has a total of 24 ocean-going supply ships, 24 Sea Wolf-class battleships, eight Sea Shark-class battleships, and six Giant Shark-class battleships, a total of 54 battleships, plus 3000 armed merchant ships, a total of 4000 ships. , there are a total of more than [-] and [-] naval officers and soldiers, and there is also a Royal Marine Corps with a total of more than [-] people, and the entire fleet has a total of [-] and [-] people.

If you include diplomatic and business personnel, the number exceeds 500.

When Cheng Shijie arrived in Liaodong, although the weather in Liaodong was cold and the wind was howling, the cold did not stop Liaodong's vitality.

The chimneys are spitting out white smoke all day long, and the chimneys are raising columns of smoke. The air is filled with a choking smell. It seems that the white snow is no longer visible, but you can see that the snow has turned slightly black. .

The vitality of Liaodong is in sharp contrast to the dilapidation of Beijing and Tianjin.Driven by steam engines in factories, those huge machine tools and the sound of anvils and hammers colliding in metal processing plants never stopped for a moment, because water power has serious timeliness, while machines powered by fire oxen (steam engines) did not stop at all. Not affected by weather.

Whether it is a mechanical processing factory, a textile factory, or a woodworking factory, they are producing all kinds of materials at full speed. Especially on the way to the port, there is an endless stream of ox carts loaded with various goods or raw materials. Seriously It can be said that there is a lot of traffic. This bustling scene makes people feel happy just looking at it.

Catherine exclaimed in amazement: "This war seems to have had no impact on the Liaodong region! Not only did it have no impact, it also made it more prosperous. What a miracle!"

Cheng Shijie said angrily: "What kind of miracle is this? This is obviously normal, right? It's best to make war fortune!"

Yang Yuniang said: "How can the king say this, as if the entire Liaodong region is black-hearted!"

Although it sounds unpleasant, it is actually true. Since the Ning Navy went north to start a national war with the Jiannu, the Liaodong region has absorbed a huge amount of wealth from all over the country in this war, and it is indisputable that it is extremely rich. The fact is, yes, what they made was war wealth.

When the war broke out, countless wealthy businessmen fled to the Liaodong area, and massive amounts of gold, silver, and jewelry were brought to the Liaodong area. It was hard not to think about it!If it weren't for the fact that Jinzhou is so prosperous now, it would not be possible to be nominated as one of the companion capitals. Of course, before Cheng Shijie decided on the ruler, many people actually proposed to move the capital to Jinzhou.

What’s good about Beijing?It is so dry and extremely cold. Although Liaodong is also cold, relatively speaking, Jinzhou is actually warmer than Beijing. The key to the problem is that Jinzhou now needs money, food, and people. , it’s perfect to move the capital here!

But Cheng Shijie laughed and said: "Your Venice has been fighting for more than 200 years, isn't it still prosperous and strong?"

Catherine actually didn't care. After Cheng Shijie's reminder, she also thought about it. As early as 200 years ago, the Ottoman Empire went crazy and began to attack Venice. They were greedy for Venice's wealth. However, Venice relied on its powerful navy. The Ottoman Empire suffered heavy losses.

In fact, it was precisely because of the war that the merchants of Venice made a fortune from the war. Instead of getting poorer with more wars, Venice became richer and stronger with more wars.

Historically, it was not until more than two years later that Venice finally came to an end.

Catherine wanted to ask Cheng Shijie what the reason was, but of course, Cheng Shijie did not explain it. Now he was very anxious and worked hard, wanting to return to the Guangping Palace in Jinzhou as quickly as possible.

As the cabinet moved to Beijing, the current Liaodong Management Committee moved to the newly built Liaodong Management Committee Building in the original outer city, southeast of the current inner city.

Without the military headquarters, the general staff and the management committee, the palace has become very quiet now. The door is ajar and the two stone lions at the door are spotlessly clean and not angry. Nothing has changed.

Seeing him coming back, the guard quickly saluted, then became angry and prepared to shout: "Meet the Marshal!"

Cheng Shijie waved his hand and said, "Don't disturb others. I can just go in by myself."

Cheng Shijie handed the horse to the servant and walked in quickly.

Originally, the number of servants in Ning Haijun's General Military Mansion was pitifully small. However, after Zhu Weiti got married, there were many more servants here, as well as many more maids and eunuchs. With more people, the entire palace was in order, and everything was in order. It is filled with an atmosphere of serenity and comfort.

This is Zhu Weiti's credit, she put everything in order.Cheng Shijie ran into the lobby with ease, then ran to the backyard and found that the backyard had changed drastically.

Cheng Shijie felt a little strange, looked at the servant and asked: "Where is the princess? Where are Jia Yue and Jia Long?"

"The princess and the prince are both at the panda garden!" Cheng Shijie walked directly towards the panda garden. When he arrived at the panda garden, Cheng Jiayue saw Cheng Shijie and ran towards Cheng Shijie quickly.

"father!"

Only Cheng Jiaxin, the adopted daughter, turned her head and looked at him curiously, maybe because she thought he was a bit strange.Yang Yunniang came over, and a look of surprise flashed across Cheng Jiaxin's face: "Mother!"

Cheng Anjing and Cheng Anning, the adopted daughters originally adopted by Cheng Shijie, were both married. Cheng Anning was married to Zhang Huaize's son, Zhang Shiqing, and Cheng Anjing was married to Chen Guodong's nephew Liang Lin.

As for Cheng Jiayue, there were countless people who came to seek marriage, but they were all scolded by Cheng Shijie. For this reason, Cheng Shijie postponed the age of marriage in Ming Dynasty. Some people speculated that it might be because of her relationship with Cheng Jiayue.

Cheng Shijie is not a beast like Huang Taiji. His daughter got married when she was nine years old. In order to maintain his rule, his daughter almost never lived past the age of 35.

If Cheng Shijie were forced to marry his daughter, Cheng Shijie would dare to become the enemy of the whole world.

Looking at Cheng Shijie, Cheng Jiayue was very happy and begged to be hugged by Cheng Shijie for a long time. Then under Zhu Weiti's persuasion, she reluctantly left Cheng Shijie.

Zhu Weiti came up to him with a calm smile and asked softly: "Are you back?"

"came back."

"Is the battle over?"

"Although the fight is not over yet, I'm afraid there won't be any more battles to fight in the future."

Of course, it’s not that the Ming Dynasty didn’t fight, and it’s not that it won’t fight anymore. At least now, the Ming Dynasty is still fighting on the third front. The Chieftain Army in the Annan direction is killing all the Annan people, and the Annan Army is rampaging through Toungu, killing Dongyu. The Xu Dynasty was in a state of disarray.

In addition to the war in the south, there is also the Anbei Army. Although the Anbei Army has not fought, it is in a state of first-level combat readiness and is ready to intervene in the battle at any time. Once Bolo loses to the Cossacks, the Anbei Army will be fully suppressed.

As for the Anbei Army, they are also waiting for Li Zicheng's internal division at any time. Once there is an internal problem in Li Zicheng's Western Qin, the Anxi Army will attack from ten directions from Taihang Baxing, Tongguan, and Nanzheng.

Zhu Weiti smiled sweetly: "That couldn't be better..."

Zhu Weiti looked at Yang Yunniang. She subconsciously looked at the palace maid beside her. The old palace maid glanced at Zhu Weiti. Zhu Weiti looked at the other party and shook her head, knowing that the other party saw that Yang Yunniang was still a daughter. .

This means that Cheng Shijie did not use his absence to have a relationship with Yang Yuniang. Zhu Weiti was both happy and disappointed when he got this news.

She was happy that Cheng Shijie didn't touch Yang Yunniang, but she was disappointed that Cheng Shijie didn't even touch Yang Yuniang. Is it really impossible?There was no child, which made Zhu Weiti feel very uneasy.

Cheng Jialong also felt a little restrained when he saw Cheng Shijie.

Of course, Cheng Jialong knew his own affairs. It was normal for Cheng Jialong to take a concubine at his age. However, in Cheng Shijie's eyes, this was treason and rebellion against Tiangang.

Cheng Shijie actually didn't know about the Cheng family's concubinage, and Zhu Weiti didn't mention it to Cheng Shijie. The internal guards reported it, and the news slipped through the massive amount of news.

Cheng Shijie watched Cheng Jialong mature a lot during this period, especially after enrolling in many cram schools. If he worked as hard as he does now, it would not be a problem to get into Qingbei.

"how are things?"

Cheng Jialong said cautiously: "I have learned a lot while watching politics recently. Although I am very tired, I am very fulfilled and very happy!"

"Just be happy!"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said: "Being an emperor is a laborious job. If you don't work hard, you will be easily fooled by the people below. There is a British drama called "Yes, Minister". If you have a chance, you can download it and watch it carefully. You’ll have a clear understanding of bureaucracy!”

"Humphrey?"

"Not bad!"

Cheng Jialong thought for a moment and said, "Dad, do you want to talk about Humphrey's four stages?"

"The four stages are just Humphrey's summary, and they are also the ceiling that ordinary people can access!"

Cheng Shijie looked in the direction of the Nuan Pavilion, walked in, lit a fire, and drank tea: "Actually, these things are just child's play for the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty! In my opinion, the British Prime Minister, in the Ming Dynasty, is at best a coward. The level of officials!"

Cheng Jialong's eyes widened: "How is this possible?"

"You were shocked when you watched the TV series, right?"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "The screenwriter is just a screenwriter. The screenwriter can be a driver, a doctor, a worker, a professional in business management, including finance. He can write most workplace dramas, but the cabinet in this industry is It won't be written down, just like unless you are a Jinshi, you can't get the inside story of the imperial examination!"

Cheng Jialong said seriously: "I know that I am not the material to be the emperor, but I actually have no choice. Dad, you can put everything down and treat it as a game, but the problem is, I can't, Gao Jie , Zheng Sen, Shi Lang, Guo Xin, and countless people who are following me. If I don’t go on, they will all end badly and will definitely be liquidated..."

"You don't actually have to explain anything to me!"

Cheng Shijie said calmly: "If you want to do big things, you must not be impatient. You should wait for the opportunity to act. Doing the right thing at the right time will get twice the result with half the effort. Doing the incorrect thing at the wrong time will get twice the result." And half the effort, this is the difference! For example, if you change your past and return to your old ways, if you adopt your plan at the very beginning, do you know what the outcome will be?"

"What will be the outcome? It will be nothing more than a rebellion in the southwest and chaos everywhere!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly and said: "You should know what the terrain is in the southwest, right? That place is very suitable for mountain guerrilla warfare. No matter how many troops we have, we can't do it. Do you think all the emperors in the past dynasties are fools? They see Aren't you immune to the dangers of toast?" (End of Chapter)
