Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 771
An old-fashioned line, time is like water, life is like a song.

Washington, who established the United States, served two consecutive terms as president, and immediately retired bravely. Song Qingshu was re-elected one more term than him. After everyone is getting used to a Song Dynasty, and the Conservative Party is sourly calculating when When Jia Jiuxi, Jianlu Jidi, and abdication, Song Qingshu, the head of the cabinet, who was in full swing, actually announced that he would give up the next election.

This really caused a lot of panic and discomfort among the upper echelons of the empire.

However, the big institutional environment has been deeply rooted in the empire, and the historical inertia is like the wheels of a train moving forward. Without Song Qingshu, the world will still turn the same way. Before leaving office, the Conservative Party launched a candidate, Chen Zilong, and the Liberal Democratic Party launched a candidate. Li Dingguo, what is surprising is that Zheng Sen, who founded the Zheng Group after the Governor of Liaodong resigned, actually stood on the side of the Labor Party and participated in the election.

What is even more surprising is that Zheng Sen actually defeated Li Dingguo, whom Song Qingshu regarded as his successor, won most of the seats in the Conservative Party and the Labor Party, and became the new chief of the cabinet of the Ming Empire.

However, this also exposed the nature of the Ming Empire. As a member of the big capitalists, Zheng Senbi has been fighting for the position of general. He defeated the Mughal Empire three times and tore it apart. Li Dingguo, a soldier who established a vast production and construction corps, can better represent the interests of the dominant capitalists and factory owners.

But it has to be said that the Conservative Party, which has been transformed into a large plantation owner, still occupies a pivotal position, and no one dares to ignore their opinions.

In the year Zheng Sen took office, peace in the global environment also began to come. The world war that was dragged into the 40-year war by Song Qingshu came to an end. The Protestant countries that failed in the expedition to the East compromised. The state, self-government, freedom of belief, but still respect the emperor of the Habsburg family as the co-lord, France replaced Spain as the hegemony of the European continent, the British dictator Cromwell was abandoned and lost on the guillotine in London Head, with the support of Ming Dynasty, Little William, who fought the royal war for more than five years, won the victory and officially became king in Westminster Abbey in [-]. It is worth mentioning that Song Yuer from the East and him The joint coronation as queen set an unprecedented precedent, and the eastern blood began to flow into the western royal family.

As for the Netherlands, the maritime supremacy that had just started was lost immediately. The Dutch Republic was betrayed by the Protestant Alliance. After a compromise, the Netherlands still surrendered to Spain. Its maritime status was regained by Ming, Britain, France and Spain, and only maintained an independent status.

The world has entered a time period of relatively peaceful trade and common prosperity, and the industrial revolution has begun to flourish in all countries.

However, the empire that Zheng Sen took over was not without troubles. When he had just taken power and the situation was still unstable, the third prince Zhu, who had already moved to the capital, Zhu Cijiong, the heir of Empress Zhou, suddenly announced that he would return to the Ming royal family, and Following the example of his ancestor, Emperor Yongle, he had to raise hundreds of troops and go south to Yingtian to seize power.

It is a pity that history does not repeat itself. This farce was put down in less than 10 minutes. The royal family also has its own group company, where the clan's children work and share dividends. Compared with the life of the vassal princes raising pigs in the past, it is undoubtedly alive today. Even more comfortable, after Zhu Cijiong found a reporter to deliver his speech, dozens of his "loyal" clan security guards directly twisted and tied up the dignified prince and sent him to the Public Security Bureau.

It's not a big deal, and Zheng Sen didn't bother to deal with it, so he was detained for 31 days directly as a threat to public security, but this incident aroused great repercussions within the royal family. Passed on to Concubine Tian's heir King Yong, the reign of Chongzhen, which had lasted for [-] years, was cut off, and the Ming Dynasty began the era of Yongchang record year and parallel Gregorian calendar.

This is just a trivial matter, but the real threat still comes from the northern border of the empire. In the second year of Yongchang, the Moxivirat Mongolian rebellion, 10,000+ Mongolian cavalry swept across the Monan Mongolia, which was already under the control of Ming Dynasty. This is not the original area. Grassland, in order to firmly control this land of right and wrong, taking advantage of the weakness of Monan Mongolia, Song Qingshu sent a large number of production and construction corps in, and formally divided cities and counties under the alliance flag system of the Qing people, The construction of grassland cities and the implementation of captive animal husbandry started to fix the originally mobile Mongolian tribes on the land.

The invasion of Oirat Mongolia to the east immediately caused heavy losses to various consortiums in the country.

Misfortunes never come singly. They were driven to the Heilongjiang River Basin. The Jurchen Jianzhou Guard Commander Hauge, who existed in the autonomous prefecture, sent a request for help. Raksha people from the north appeared in Yaksa and Nerchinsk. With powerful guns and cannons, building castles locally, looting, harassing and even eating the local Daur people, Hauge sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, but all failed.

These two incidents ignited the warlike blood in the bones of the Ming people immersed in a peaceful atmosphere. Zheng Sen, who has been in the military for many years, is also a ruthless character. The Congress passed the war decree in just three days. Zhou Yuji, the veteran commander, served as the commander-in-chief, and sent troops to the grassland to resist the attack and plunder of Western Mongolia in Moxi Weilat.

It is worth mentioning that among the 22 troops dispatched this time, [-] tanks were used as the vanguard. This time the tanks were not only equipped with breech-loading guns, but also powered by a new type of engine that had just been invented by the Empire.

In this battle, more than [-] Mongolian cavalry were taught a lesson again. Since then, northern Xinjiang has also been included in the territory of Ming Dynasty.

However, for the small group of Cossack cavalry who came to harass the small group of Cossack cavalry like fleas in the more distant Siberia, Yingtian's cabinet members were really troubled. It is said that Zheng Sen made a special trip to Songjiang for this matter. Song Qingshu, who asked about political affairs, returned, and the second important decree of the empire was issued.

"Empire Expansion Act".

To be honest, it is almost a copy of the Homestead Act of the American Westward Movement. As long as the land in the upper reaches of Heilongjiang is reclaimed and cultivated for more than ten years, that land will always belong to the family of the reclaimer, and I am afraid that these bitter cold lands will have nowhere to go. The Reclamation Law also specifically stipulates that the gold ore, silver ore, and various materials found in the reclaimed land are all privately owned by the reclaimed land!Imperial law protects its rights!
In today's Ming Empire, there are actually quite a few poor people. After all, Song Qingshu's era before time travel could not solve the problem of equality between the rich and the poor. This decree immediately attracted countless ambitious young people in the empire who were unwilling to be poor. After spending the last silver coins on his body, buying firearms, he boarded the train going north to Liaodong, joining the ranks of huge gold diggers.

In the vast and fertile and desolate Siberia, there was a wonderful battle between the gold diggers and the Cossacks. Once again, the empire took another big step towards the north.

"You can't go in! The old man said, those shits are your young people's business, he doesn't care!"

"Aunt Thirteen! You are going too far, the eldest son of my Song family, can't you come back and see my old man once? Dad! Dad! You have to come forward about this matter. Those labor parties are too much. Let's give them jobs and give them jobs. They spend money, and they want to turn the world upside down! Dad! Dad!"

Song Qingshu never imagined that he would one day become a bad old man. In the corridor of the nursing home, amidst the fierce quarrel between his eldest son Song Jun and the thirteenth princess Zhu Yuhui, an old man, an old man, Song Qingshu couldn't help but let out a laugh Come.

Up to now, the Ming Empire is actually still undemocratic, just like the early days of the United States, is it possible for the princes of the Rothschild family to be equal to those hard-working workers at the bottom?With the gradual development of the empire, these contradictions also broke out. The Labor Party, which supported Zheng Sen's superiority, actually elected two cabinet chiefs in a row. With the popularization of education, workers also began to demand more political rights.

There are still many such contradictions. Over the past few decades, the New World colonies on the British side began to become restless, and the Fifteen Colonies on the west coast of Ming Dynasty also began to become impetuous. , old antiques who maintained the order of the old empire one by one, their descendants actually became the vanguards of breaking away from the empire and establishing an independent colonial government. I really don’t know how many old guys know in heaven, knowing that their descendants are going to rebel against Ming Dynasty, will they? Jump out of the grave angrily and cut them half to death?
But these Song Qingshus can't be controlled. On the one hand, this is the general trend of history. Isn't the British Empire, which is known as the sun never sets, split into dozens of countries in the Commonwealth of Nations?On the other hand, this is also the world of young people. He is an old man now, and he can't control it.

On the other side, hearing Zhu Aimee's quarrel was a little far away, Song Qingshu hurriedly groped behind the recliner where he was sitting, and he found out half a jar of pitiful wine, which is ridiculous to say, the biggest grievance between him and Aimee Zhu, Even in Japan, this chick wanted to assassinate herself. Who knew that she fell to the ground and fell into her hands when she was old. Caiwei is now the chairman of the Imperial Charity Foundation. Several women also have their own wonderful careers. I, an idler, was entrusted to take care of this girl in the end, who made her the last to enter the door.

As a result, Song Qingshu's good days of drinking, hunting, riding horses, wandering around and dating girls are over, and he is under the strict supervision of Zhu Aimee, and he still has to sneak around to relieve his greed.

Who made her commit herself to such a bad old man in her good old days?
However, Song Qingshu is actually not too disgusted with life. In later generations, he used to envy the love between the young marshal Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si, but now he and Zhu Yuhui are very similar. The Princess Changping finally gave up her career. He also gave up on the royal family, and only stayed with him every day, from sunrise to sunset, quietly enjoying the ordinary romance in life, thinking of her angry little mouth, Song Qingshu suddenly stuffed the wine jar with chills on his back went back.

But it seemed that they were getting closer together, next to the wine jar, a box fell to the ground with a thud, and turned around in astonishment, Song Qingshu reached out to pick up the box, opened it, and looked at the things inside, Song Qingshu's smile was gradually faded away.

It was a piece of jade seal, which was a token given to him by Emperor Chongzhen when he was first elected as the chief minister of the cabinet of the Ming Empire. However, Song Qingshu had seen this thing a long time ago. On a day he will never forget, Tang Shuo Wang Li Jie Tomb, he fell headfirst on this jade seal, and then separated time and space, and clasped it on Xing Hongniang's soft body.

What if you fall again?Go back to your own time?Aging ceases to exist?Then go to the next strange time period and have a new legend?How many times, holding the jade seal, Song Qingshu finally lost the courage and put it down, but today, looking at the jade seal exuding dim brilliance, suddenly, an unprecedented impulse surged into his heart.

One end is the passing time!Not aging!Or a new experience!On the other end is achievements today, loved ones, children, wealth, praise!As the footsteps of Aimee Zhu got closer, Song Qingshu's hands trembled more and more.

Bang~
…………

"Are you confused? Why don't you drink less wine, you, you, I'm so mad!"

When Aimee Zhu walked back to the courtyard, what caught her eyes was Song Qingshu, whose face was covered in blood, staring at gold stars, and the jade seal that was hard on his forehead, and the thirteenth princess who had become a beautiful woman was angry. Looking at her seductive waist, she hurried up angrily but concerned, took away the jade seal, and frantically searched for a bandage.

It took a long time to wake up from the dizziness, and holding the jade seal that spurted blood, Song Qingshu suddenly laughed again, first he lowered his head and giggled, then raised his head and laughed loudly smile.

Plop, the jade seal was thrown out of the courtyard by Song Qingshu, and into the surging South Sea nearby.

"You're still laughing, you're crazy!"

In the spacious port, the woman's angry screams were buried under layers of sirens, and a golden flag of the Great Ming Xuanlong breathing fire was floating high on the flagpole of the port.

At this same moment, London, Buckingham Palace, opened the window facing the morning sun, and Yu'er, wearing the queen's crown, took a deep breath of the morning air, and suddenly a happy smile appeared on her soft face, and the river Thames , a large sailboat with the Xuanlong fire-breathing flag was slowly approaching the shore.

In Nevada, in the dry Arizona wasteland, it was already dark at night. In the tavern where the gold diggers gathered, there had just been a fierce gun battle. Several notorious gangsters fell in a pool of blood one after another. Smoke, the wound on his shoulder was still bleeding, but the black and thin old man picked up his wine glass expressionlessly, and poured down a large glass of sugarcane wine with his head raised.

Behind him, a bouncing ten-year-old girl is also holding two revolvers, sitting wildly on the stool next to him in the eyes of a group of westerners who are watching tremblingly, and puts a thick stack of arrest warrants However, the old man snorted bluntly, stretched out his hand and snatched back the epaulettes on the shoulders of the Tao girl he adopted, and pinned them on his shoulders again.

Xuanlong spit fire!

As the two left the tavern arguing, the cowboys in the tavern breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately someone gave a thumbs up. This old man has been in this easternmost colony of the empire for an unknown number of years. Over time, the legend of this iron-blooded sheriff has been circulating in the wilderness. No criminal force can escape his quick gun. Here, he is the order of the empire.

Countless yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese Miao descendants went out, and they were no longer as self-sufficient as in history. In the hands of such black old men, from west to east, a golden empire was brilliantly active on the world map.
