The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 686

The imperial court began to develop in a one-sided trend. Both civil servants and military generals believed that the emperor should follow the good advice and make decisions that benefit the country and the people.

The clamoring soldiers put forward conditions. The emperor must not pretend to be deaf and dumb. He looked at Cheng Guoxiang, Minister of the Household Department, and asked, "Cheng Aiqing, do you have any idea about the military salary and military merit reward?"

Cheng Guoxiang said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, the Household Department may not even be able to pay [-]% of the salary. I think it is better to ask Huang Shaozhan to go out of the city and go to the barracks to explain the difficulties of the court to the frontier troops."

Hubu Shangshu was actually very annoyed by Huang Daozhou's words and deeds, thinking that the moral gentleman who had nothing to do all day long and talked a lot, did more than fail, so he unceremoniously gave him eye drops.

All the civil and military officials looked at Huang Daozhou together, and the mocking eyes of his colleagues made hair stand on the hair of this Huang sage who dared to sacrifice his life for righteousness.

Huang Daozhou was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of being insulted. His friend Bi Zisu committed suicide because he was humiliated and angry by the rebels for not paying his salary. He still remembers it vividly.

The imperial court really owed food and head rewards to the soldiers outside Guangqumen. He is a scholar-bureaucrat, how can he argue with a group of warriors?In case those reckless people get rough at a word of disagreement, wouldn't Huang Daozhou bring shame on himself.

What's more, the repayment of debts is just and honest, and he doesn't take it seriously. Huang Shengren, who was like a fighting cock yesterday, admitted his cowardice today, bowed his head and said nothing.

Huang Sheng made a small plan to rule out the moral gentleman Huang Daozhou who was harming the country with empty talk, but Huang Sheng does not despise Huang Shengren. After all, he is a noble person who is consistent with his words and deeds and truly dies. He is worthy of respect.

Prime Minister Wen of the Southern Song Dynasty who sacrificed his life for justice said in his poem "Song of Righteous Qi" that "when the time is poor, we will see each other, and we will pay attention to the pictures one by one." Reading the books of sages and sages, what do you learn? From now on, I have nothing to be ashamed of."

How many heroes died generously when the Ming Dynasty fell?Too much too much!Anti-Qing Fuming lasted for more than [-] years, and until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the largest anti-Qing Fuming organization "Hongmen" was still strong, which can be seen.

Hongmen was founded in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, with the purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang's slogan "to drive out the Tartars and restore China". At the end of the Qing Dynasty, many celebrities came out. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country, is the most famous one. The anti-Qing organizations all have the shadow of Hongmen.

The Hongmen was the source of the founding of the Kuomintang, the main force that overthrew the Qing Dynasty, and made great contributions to the old Chinese democratic revolution. The Hongmen children contributed money and efforts to the destruction of the Qing Dynasty. The contribution was made by the domestic society. They really threw their heads and blood Among them, overseas Chinese Hongmen members are the most active contributors.

The anti-Qing and Ming dynasty was actually successful, but it turned into anti-Qing and restoring the Republic of China, because Sun Yat-sen believed that the source of China’s backwardness was the feudal system, so he did not restore the Ming Dynasty but established the Republic of China, which was dominated by Han people.

Although the ignorant Manchu and Qing dynasty were lucky enough to seize the world of flowers and flowers in Ming Dynasty, and most of the Han people bowed their knees and became slaves, the resistance of the Han nation did not stop at all. It's just a drop in the bucket.

Three of the four ancient civilizations have perished, and only the Han civilization has been passed down for 5000 years. This is actually the cohesion of the Han culture.

Huang Sheng's use of conspiracy to obtain supreme power is based on the original intention of saving hundreds of millions of Han people and keeping Han civilization from being ruined by the Tungus savages, and he does not care about small details.

Now it is getting closer and closer to the goal to be achieved, and winning over the scholar-officials and bureaucrats is in progress.

More than a dozen members of the "God of War" department in the court knew well that it must be Nan Wang's plan to ask Huang Daozhou to go to the barracks to negotiate with the soldiers, as long as they are not stupid, they can see it.

All the ministers were waiting to see Huang Daozhou's jokes, but no one chimed in.

Huang Shengren has read poems and books to get his name straight, and he can be regarded as a daring person, but to debate with a group of vulgar warriors whether the court should pay them is simply giving them face.

He thought that there was no doubt about such a sacrifice, so he blushed and chose to remain silent.Sure enough, the effect was immediate, and the most violent dance was cured, and of course there would be no more harmonious sounds.

Seeing that Huang Daozhou had finally calmed down, Gao Di, who was confident in his mind, said frankly when he left the class:
"Your Majesty, the old minister went to the Southern King's army to discuss yesterday. His Majesty is willing to rectify the name of the Southern King's vassal state, and he agrees to return Hainan Island, the land of Daming Trust."

This remark surprised too many officials who have been to Hainan Island, because they all know that Hainan Island today is not a backwater at all, but a land of geomantic omen and silver.

The humming of the ministers discussing each other in the court hall was too loud to overwhelm Gaodi's prelude to the monarch, and even Huang Daozhou listened attentively.

Gaudi coughed a few times loudly, and the hum gradually died down.

The emperor was also surprised when he heard this, and he waited to hear the following. He had already received reports from Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and knew that there are many factories on Hainan Island, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Is it possible that Nan Wang actually handed over the territory he had worked so hard for for several years?

Gaodi continued: "Nanwang has many factories in Hainan Island, and it is impossible to complete the relocation to 'Nanhua Island' overnight, so he proposed to lease Hainan Island for ten years with [-] silver coins per year and return Hainan Island. Ten years later."

So it is so, and it should be so, after all, there are indeed too many industries of Nanwang on Hainan Island.Hearing this, Chongzhen felt that it was true that King Nan promised to return Hainan Island, so he nodded slightly.

What the Ming court wanted was face, and the king of Nan had done this to send Daming's face and face. Immediately, more than a dozen important ministers seconded the proposal, asking the emperor to agree to solve the problem of the ownership of the Hainan Island Xindi in this way.

Immediately, all the civil servants and generals in the previous dynasty unanimously agreed to lease Hainan Island to the King of the South, and even a few moral gentlemen headed by Huang Daozhou thought it was a good deal.

In the past, the tax received by the court of Qiongzhou Prefecture did not reach 10 taels of snowflake silver at all, and there were frequent rebellions there, and the tax received by the court was not enough to use soldiers and had to pay back.

The Southern King of the Ming Dynasty leased Hainan Island for ten years and gave high rent every year. Emperor Chongzhen had no reason to refuse, and stated that it could be handled in this way.

The issue of Hainan Island has been settled, and Gao Di still has good news to report to the emperor.

He continued: "Your Majesty, the King of Nan promised that if the Son of Heaven treats him so favorably, he will surely avenge his country and his family for the Son of Heaven. He is going to return to Jiaozhi by land and arrange to suppress bandits in Jiangbei, Henan, and Huguang in Nanzhili. The time limit is two years." Kill or capture the thief Zhang Xianzhong."

When Chongzhen heard Zhang Xianzhong's name, he immediately gritted his teeth. King Xiang and King Tang died, and the ancestral grave was dug up. This tone was really aggrieved, but the court officials and soldiers had nothing to do with the thief.

Nanwang stated that he would kill or capture Zhang Xianzhong within two years, which made Chongzhen Longyan very happy.
