after one day.

Various major events happened one after another, leaving the people of the Ming Dynasty dizzying, dumbfounded, dumbfounded, and dumbfounded.

First of all, Xu Jie, the chief minister of the cabinet, was reprimanded by the emperor for “colluding with monsters to kill the king. It is a heinous crime and a disregard for the emperor’s favor. He is the first Aqina in the Ming Dynasty and the first Seth Hei in the Ming Dynasty.” He also said, “I have the heart of a Buddha to enlighten you. Tianliang, who knew that ghosts and gods took away your soul and turned you into such a sinner who has no father, no king, and abandoned his country and home.”

Xu Jie was shocked and defended himself, but the emperor took out the letter Xu Jie wrote to Zhang Tianshi and explained that Zhang Tianshi led a group of monsters to assassinate the emperor last night.

Xu Jie could not defend himself and fell to the ground unconscious. The emperor ordered him to be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded.

Subsequently, the Xu family was ransacked and the whole family was executed. Only the children under the age of twelve were exiled to the frontier.

This incident has shocked the whole world.

The chief minister of the cabinet colluded with a demon to murder the emperor, which was the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

It was the first time since the founding of the People’s Republic of China that the emperor directly beheaded the entire family of chief ministers.

Not counting Li Shanchang, he is the prime minister, not the chief minister.

People all over the world are talking about it.

Jiang Hao gave evidence, so Xu Jie’s collusion with the demon to kill the king was basically confirmed.

“Mr. Xu Ge would actually do such a thing.”

“You must be confused. Everyone in the Xu family has suffered miserably from him.”

“In my opinion, it was His Majesty and Zhang Juzheng’s reforms that touched Xu Jie’s interests. After all, the Xu family has 300,000 acres of land.”

“I think so. Xu Jie actually dared to kill the king for his own benefit. He is really crazy.”

“What a crazy person!”

People all over the world are talking about everything.

But after much talk, most people finally concluded that Xu Jie was regicide because his interests were touched by the reform, which made him stupid and crazy.

The second thing that shocked the world was that after Xu Jie was beheaded, the emperor promoted Zhang Juzheng to the position of chief assistant without any hesitation.

This shows that the emperor’s support for Zhang Juzheng’s reforms is unprecedented.

“Zhang Juzheng is like Wang Anshi, and now he is like Emperor Shenzong. Our Ming Dynasty has entered a troubled time!”

“I’m just afraid that Jingkang will be humiliated next!”

“You can’t mess with it. It’ll be bad if you mess with it.”

Many people will simply take history as a guide and come to the outrageous conclusion that decades after Wang Anshi’s reform, the Song Dynasty suffered the Jingkang Shame. This blame belongs to Wang Anshi and also to the reform, so reform = Jingkang Shame.

Today, Zhang Juzheng’s reforms will also encounter similar events, such as the second Tumubao incident, so it is better not to change.

These opinions gradually became the mainstream of society.

After all, the reform has not benefited anyone yet, but is constantly hurting everyone’s interests. Naturally, everyone is dissatisfied.

Jiang Hao completely ignored these opinions from the public.

There is no fear of destiny, no sympathy for people’s words, and no respect for ancestors.

He came to this world just to collect resources. In his eyes, all living beings are just consumables, and he doesn’t care about their opinions.

In addition to these two major changes in the court, the next step is a major change in religion.

Zhang Tianshi was suspected of regicide and rebellion. The Longhu Mountain lineage was deprived of his position as Tianshi. The Zhang family was confiscated and everyone was exiled to Liaodong.

The Tianshi family, which had been inherited for thousands of years, was in ruins. This was the result of the emperor’s mercy.

“The contemporary Celestial Master Zhang Yongxu is really a big bastard. The Celestial Master’s Mansion’s thousand-year foundation has been destroyed by his hands.”

“You’re so good, you actually kill the king and seek your own death…”

“Who knows what these people think, it is said that Wudang Mountains and Quanzhen Sect are also involved.”

Longhu Mountain suffered this disaster, and the Wudang Sect and Quanzhen Sect were not much better, and were suppressed crazily by the emperor.

At least during the reign of Emperor Jiajing of this dynasty, these three religious sects must have declined.

The Jiajing Emperor of this dynasty is said to have succeeded in cultivating immortals and will have no problem living for hundreds of years.

Hundreds of years from now, will anyone still remember these three sects?

I’m afraid no one will remember them.

This series of drastic changes dazzled everyone in Ming Dynasty.

A month later, the Ming Dynasty’s navy was first formed.

The appearance of armored ships one after another shocked the people of the Ming Dynasty.

“The treasure ships of Zheng He’s time can’t even compare with this armored ship. Your Majesty has really built something amazing!”

“Oh my god, there is no wind, it is automatic, and there is billowing black smoke. The caliber of the cannon on it is so big. It’s incredible!”

“The navy has just been trained and has such a good atmosphere. I will be invincible tomorrow!”

The first appearance of the ironclad ship shocked the world sincerely. A ship was like a mountain, which exceeded people’s imagination at this time.

With such a strong ship and powerful guns, no need to ask, you know that it must be very powerful in combat.

Don’t

Not to mention, such a ship can smash the wooden ship into pieces if it hits the current wooden ship. What qualifications do the current pirates have to compete with such a strong ship and powerful guns?

But not everyone is happy.

Maritime traders from the southeastern coastal areas heard the news and came to see this powerful ship and cannon. After seeing it, their faces were particularly ugly.

The reason why they can make a fortune is because the Ming Dynasty’s navy is not good and no one has the ability to manage them, so they can smuggle wantonly.

The porcelain, silk, and tea produced by the Ming Dynasty were all real hot-sellers in this era, and the Ming Dynasty had almost no demand from overseas.

A large amount of silver poured into the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately it fell into the hands of these maritime merchants instead of the imperial court.

The reason why Japanese pirates are rampant in the southeast is because these maritime merchants often collude with Japanese pirates.

But now that the Ming Dynasty has such a powerful navy, the court has the ability to govern them. When the court asks them to pay taxes, will they dare not to pay?

This is obviously not good news for them.

So these people secretly instigated the Japanese pirates and asked the Japanese pirates to try out the strength of the newly trained navy and see if the strong ships and cannons were good enough.

Several groups of Japanese pirates were really fooled and ran into the tiger’s mouth.

The naval battle ended bleakly.

The Ming Dynasty’s powerful ships and cannons fired thousands of cannons, which directly penetrated the small wooden logs of the Japanese pirates and blew them into pieces.

It was a total massacre.

Admiral Qi Jiguang, driving the Ming Dynasty’s navy, rampaged across the southeast. It took half a month to quell the Japanese pirates in the southeast.

Although this result is incredible, it is completely reasonable.

The Ming Dynasty’s ships were bigger, faster than the opponent’s, and its cannons were more powerful than the opponent’s.

The opponent’s artillery can only leave some traces on the Ming Dynasty’s ship at most, but the Ming Dynasty’s artillery shells can smash the opponent’s ship to pieces.

With so many advantages, the Ming Dynasty’s navy was naturally invincible and uprooted the Japanese pirates who had been entrenched in the southeast for 40 years.

Zhang Juzheng’s economic reforms have not yet taken effect, but the current emperor’s military reforms are very effective, which greatly enhances the emperor’s majesty.
