The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 1270 The Finale
Thunder and thunder!

When the General Soldier of the South of the Yangtze River learned what happened, it was as if he was directly struck by a thunderbolt, what a fool!

But when he saw the captured military attache, his expression changed drastically. He did not become furious as Min Gui and others expected. He suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his heart and knew that the situation was worse than they imagined.

"Lord Chief Soldier, I don't know who this person is from?"

After the commander-in-chief detained the military officer who had led the troops out of the camp privately, in the flower hall of the commander-in-chief's office, Min Gui asked directly.

As a scholar from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he naturally saw the problem.

In this case, it is better to ask directly.

"It's nothing to say!"

The commander-in-chief was obviously uneasy, but he was still very considerate to Min Gui. He said with a helpless smile: "He is a collateral clan member of the Wu family in Taihu, Changzhou!"

"Taihu Wu family?"

Min Gui was taken aback.

Most scholars know that the Wu family in Taihu Lake has a long history.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "respected Confucianism exclusively", the Wu family in Taihu Lake has become the millennium family of scholars that has lasted for thousands of years.

It is often said that there are three surnames in Ming Dynasty, namely the Zhu family of the country, the Confucian family of Qufu, and the Zhang family of Jiangxi.

But in fact, none of them can compare to the deep-rooted and long-standing Wu family of Taihu Lake!
Compared with the Taihu Wu family, Wei Guogong in Jinling City is simply an upstart and has no comparison with a real wealthy family. He has a pivotal position in the south of the Yangtze River.

"The Taihu Wu family is also related to the salt merchants?"

Min Gui's heart was heavy, this thought flashed in his heart, but he didn't say it out.

As a thousand-year-old family, their influence in the south of the Yangtze River can be said to be unparalleled. Naturally, they have operations in Yangzhou salt merchants, and they are deeply involved!
Jiangnan General Soldier is a high-ranking official, but there are also people he cannot afford to offend.As a matter of fact, the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty, apart from Chen Zhao, who was astonishingly powerful, didn't care about a local emperor like the Wu family of Shangtai Lake. It is estimated that the cabinet elders and factory guards will have a headache for a while, and it will take a long time to think about it. Make a decision.

Anyway, his heart felt like a huge stone was pressing down on him at this time, and he could hardly breathe. He didn't have the domineering attitude of his backer Chen Zhao who ignored everything.

The Jiangnan General Soldier obviously wanted to get himself out of these things, so facing an official like Min Gui whose rank was far different, he said everything he could say without reservation: "Yes, the salt benefits are extremely generous. , even a thousand-year-old family cannot turn a blind eye!"

"Hey, what a thousand-year-old family!"

Min Gui sneered, but his colleagues who were sitting next to him were so frightened that they turned pale and said nothing. Obviously, the name of the Taihu Wu family completely shocked them.

The Jiangnan Commander-in-Chief has a very clear attitude. He will not easily interfere in the muddy waters in Jiangnan. Min Gui is not very disappointed, but feels that there is a big problem with Jiangnan's military and political affairs.

Back at the courtyard arranged by the General Soldier of Jiangnan in the government office, the expressions of the attachés of the Ministry of Punishment completely collapsed, and they expressed some despair that the situation in Jiangnan was too complicated and bad, and it was better to go back to Beijing for safety reasons.

"Will you continue to sit on the bench when you return to Beijing?"

Min Gui's words were like a basin of cold water, which directly chilled the hearts of those attachés from the Ministry of Punishment.

"But the situation in Jiangnan is so complicated. We encountered several waves of attacks and killings, two waves of extremely vicious Japanese pirates, and in the end even the army was dispatched. What if this continues?"

The concerns of the several attendants are also justified. It is true that they were given a lot of ecstasy soup in Yangzhou before, but if they don't react after going through these dangerous situations, then there is really something wrong with their brains.

"Because the situation in Jiangnan is complicated, we should persevere!"

However, Min Gui was unmoved. Seeing that the faces of his colleagues changed drastically and he wanted to refute, he waved and said directly: "I am too lazy to talk about the big truth. You know more than me. I will only say one thing. We are The Ministry of Punishment can even be said to be the pioneer of the imperial court, once we have established a foothold in the south of the Yangtze River and opened up the situation, what rewards do you think the imperial court will have?"

Naturally he was promoted!

The future will be bright!
It is conceivable that their road to promotion will be smooth before they reach the threshold of the third-rank official!
Think about their current boss, Chen Zhao, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment of the Ming Dynasty.

They are only 20 years old.

But this official also made great achievements step by step, step by step.

Just like Huo Qubing back then.

A group of attachés from the Ministry of Punishment were excited. They had all been waiting for Jinshi candidates in Kyoto, and they were extremely enthusiastic about promotion in the officialdom. Only after experiencing the feeling of being left out, they became even more reluctant to continue living like that.

After easily convincing his colleagues to fight together, Min Gui breathed a sigh of relief. When his colleagues left, he said to Li Chishui, who had been silent, "Master Li, I didn't expect the situation in Jiangnan to be so complicated!"

"Yeah, it's really complicated!"

Li Chishui was also shocked by the madness of those big salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and the deterrent power of the so-called thousand-year-old family.

He stayed in Xiandu Mountain for a few years, wandering down the mountain frequently, experiencing world affairs, and also heard about the name of the Wu family in Taihu Lake.

But before it was just heard and forgotten, but now it will not be forgotten.

The majestic Jiangnan general soldier, who is only one step away from being the great figure of the Jiangnan governor, dared not take action against the military officer whose illegitimate son dispatched troops because of the name of the Wu family in Taihu Lake. How ridiculous is this?

Apart from anything else, he had already written a secret letter and sent it to Kyoto through the channels of the General Affairs Department, but he didn't know what Zhu Jianshen's expression would be when he got the news.

"I didn't expect that the aristocratic family in the south of the Yangtze River is so powerful!"

Min Gui smiled wryly. In fact, he was also from the south of the Yangtze River. He came from a scholarly family and was very familiar with the Taihu Wu family, but he never expected that the other party's power was even more terrifying than he imagined.

"Not at all?"

Li Chishui said disapprovingly: "My eldest brother once said that the so-called influence is nothing more than power, money and soldiers. The so-called aristocratic families just have a monopoly on these three things, so they can have such momentum!"

"I'm not as domineering as Master Zuo Shilang, so I don't need to take all foreign objects into my eyes!"

Min Gui smiled wryly, and said depressedly: "If we want to move the interests of these aristocratic families, we will usher in their crazy revenge. It's not like you and I don't know how those Japanese pirates got here?"

"Hey, Lord Min didn't tell me the truth. I don't believe that big brother didn't tell you about the solution to Jiangnan's troubles!"

Li Chishui didn't take it seriously. To put it bluntly, things in this world still depend on the size of the fist. The fist behind him is definitely the biggest in the entire Ming Dynasty, not one of them.

I don’t know how those salt merchants and the so-called aristocratic families farmed. Something as big as Japanese pirates entering the county, and a military attache privately leading troops out of the camp to surround and kill the imperial official, happened quietly without any news. outgoing.

With such means, Min Gui and others once again saw the strength of the local snakes in the south of the Yangtze River.

But if they think they can cover the sky with one hand, then it's easy to think.

"Master Li is really wise! This matter is very simple!"

Min Gui smiled coldly and said solemnly: "Since those big salt merchants dare to attack me, they will have to bear the wrath of the imperial court and the Ministry of Justice. It is imperative to open up new salt fields in the north. Let me see if it is better to wait for the salt profit. When we are alone in Yangzhou, how can those big salt merchants have the confidence to challenge the imperial court!"

He didn't say the following words, and when Jiangnan Yanshang could no longer dominate the family, there would be revenge for revenge and revenge for injustice.

A few days later, Li Chishui passed the report of the Secretary of the General Administration, and it was placed on the imperial case of Zhu Jianshen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Snapped!
Zhu Jianshen was furious, and swept all the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the imperial case to the ground. It was still difficult to calm down the monstrous anger in his heart, so he flew up and kicked the imperial case to the ground. Did not dare to take a breath.

"Quickly tell the loyal and brave Marquis to see you!"

Reluctantly suppressing the raging anger in his heart, Zhu Jianshen gave instructions to his confidant eunuch Wan Yulou with a gloomy face. His eyes flashed with sternness. Wan Yulou was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, but he did not dare to do anything unusual.

But after he ran out, Zhu Jianshen looked at his back from a distance, feeling a little unhappiness in his heart.

If I get a little bit of thunderous anger, this guy will be frightened?

That won't work!

The eunuch he needs is calm, powerful, and understanding in handling things, not this kind of eunuch who can only rely on the emperor's favor to be powerful!

In a word, what I want is Zheng He!Not Wang Zhen!

When the emperor was angry, blood flowed!
In the south of the Yangtze River, Japanese pirates repeatedly attacked and killed court officials, and even military officers led troops out of camps to besiege and kill court officials without permission!

No matter what, it has exceeded the limit that the emperor can tolerate!
The Japanese pirates attacked and killed repeatedly, and they were able to pinpoint Min Gui's location every time. Who would believe it if there was nothing tricky about it?

The most hateful thing is that in order to safeguard their rights, some forces in the south of the Yangtze River allowed Japanese pirates to rush into the county and plunder. What did they want?
There is also a military officer under the command of the Jiangnan General Soldier, who led his troops out of the camp to intercept and kill the imperial court official. Who gave him such boldness and confidence?

What made Zhu Jianshen the most angry, or rather frightened, was that the General Soldier of the South of the Yangtze River did not dare to punish him with military law, but only dared to imprison him!

Is this still Daming's world?
The situation in the south of the Yangtze River has collapsed to the point where Zhu Jianshen feels out of control!

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has been founded for a hundred years, and the capital has been moved from Yingtianfu to Youyan for 60 years. Most of the officials are from the south of the Yangtze River. For a long time, the number of powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River has increased, and the government's control has naturally declined year by year.

When Chen Zhao rushed to the palace, Zhu Jianshen drove the others out without saying a word. The two discussed secretly in the palace for a long time, and no one knew what they discussed...

It's just a small palace in a remote corner of the palace. Six gray-haired old Taoists raised their heads fiercely. Seeing the luck like dragons and tigers above the palace, they couldn't help but change their faces and shook their heads in silence.

"It seems that Daming is going to be uneasy again!"

"It's better for me as Qing cultivators to participate less in government affairs!"

"That's a great word!"

"..."

Lu Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was getting old and unable to handle government affairs. He wrote to ask for an official position, and the emperor immediately agreed and rewarded him with some things.

At the same time, the emperor appointed Chen Zhao as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, then increased the rank of bachelor, and formally entered the cabinet to become those who were at the top of the power pyramid of the Ming Dynasty.

When the news came out, the court was in an uproar.

Chen Zhao is only 20 years old, but he is already an extremely human minister!

Not only that, as soon as Chen Zhaochu took office, he was entrusted with the important task of Zhu Jianshen, giving him complete control of the country's salt and iron, which immediately aroused fierce opposition from the government and the opposition.

However, Li Xian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, did not speak, and neither did Shang Ren, a famous scholar who had just joined the cabinet for a year. Although Chen Wen, the second assistant, and other old cabinet veterans Peng Shi and Liu Dingzhi spoke fiercely, the emperor did not listen at all.

Zhu Jianshen was different from his grandfather Zhu Zhanji and his father Zhu Qizhen. He had a tough personality and a firm mind. In addition, he had already controlled the military power, and Chen Zhao could also control the security of the capital.

In this case, once the emperor insists on going his own way, the courtiers basically have nothing to object to.

The matter was settled like this, but what Chen Zhao did next caused an uproar again.

With the nobles as the core, he massively recruited Juren from the northern regions, as well as meritorious soldiers from the nine borders, and formed a temporary Yantie control yamen.

However, the first fire after the establishment of the salt and iron control yamen did not burn to any part of the court, but announced the expansion of the Changlu salt field in Jinmen.

Changlu Saltworks was established during the Yongle period, but it has not been developed due to various reasons.

As a result, Chen Zhao's fire can be said to stir up a thousand waves with one stone!

There was an uproar between the government and the public, voices of opposition soared into the sky, and civil servants strongly opposed it impassionedly. After all, it meant the same thing. It was enough for the court to have the Jiangnan Salt Administration, and opening a large salt field would be suspected of competing with the people for profit!
"It is not advisable to waste people and waste money!"

At the court meeting, civil servants attacked in groups, and some excited ones pointed at Chen Zhao and yelled loudly.

Snapped!
Chen Zhao slapped him with a backhand, and after dozens of steps, he still slapped that guy flying, hitting the nearby palace wall with his head recklessly.

"No matter how big or small, a mere fifth-grade official dares to point fingers at a minister, who gave him the courage?" Chen Zhao retracted his palm and said lightly.

"You... how dare you hit someone?"

Zou Gan, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, scolded angrily, with an inconceivable expression flashing in his eyes.

"He is a civil servant, and I am also a civil servant. If a civil servant slaps a civil servant, what kind of beating is it? I didn't slap Jinyiwei Dutang!" Chen Zhao said disapprovingly.

As he spoke, he glanced at Jin Yiwei Du Tang Wantong.

Even Commander Wan, who is Concubine Wan's brother, could not help shrinking his neck, not daring to speak.

At the beginning, the Mongolian Oala tribe provoked the Ming Dynasty on the border. Because of the deliberate and random command of the eunuch Wang Zhen, the chief eunuch of the Rites, the 20 troops sent by the Ming Dynasty were almost wiped out.Ming Yingzong, who was personally conquered by Yujia, was also captured by the Mongols. Wang Zhen was directly hammered to death by the angry minister Fan Zhong.

Although Wang Zhen was dead, the civil and military officials were still puzzled and demanded that all his families be executed.At this time Ma Shun stood up and said: Don't make noise, get out!
Ma Shun was single-handedly promoted by Wang Zhen, and he was considered Wang Zhen's accomplice. Now that Wang Zhen is dead, how dare you be so arrogant.Everyone caught him and beat him up, and he was beaten to death. He can be said to be the most useless Jinyiwei boss who died.

It has not been 20 years since this happened, and Wantong is not a fool, so he naturally remembers it very clearly, and dare not provoke this powerful civil servant.

What's more, at this moment, Chen Zhao's eyes were as cold as lightning, and his sharp body was as majestic as a mountain. He slowly glanced at a group of angry civil servants.

A bunch of bullying bastards!
This situation, the emperor Zhu Jianshen had deep eyes and kept it in his heart.

As a person with orthodox royal education, he has read many emperor's books deeply, and knows that during the period of Taizu and Taizong, those ministers would not dare to bluff in front of the emperor.

Only a cowardly emperor can have arrogant ministers.

It is really appropriate for me to reuse this young man, Chen Zhao!

All of a sudden, the literati character of the ministers was tested!
That’s all!

"Drag it out, and you will be held responsible for dishonor in front of the palace thirty times, and your official position will be deprived of your fame, and you will never be used!"

Zhu Jianshen said lightly.

As soon as the decision came out, there was a sudden gasp from the ranks of civil servants, but no one dared to come forward to support the leader, and they were as if they had fallen into an ice cave and dared not say a word.

Even the other three veteran cabinet ministers felt that the atmosphere was not much. Chen Zhao and the emperor were obviously singing a double reed, and old foxes like them would not easily come forward to ask for trouble.

Neither Zhu Jianshen nor Chen Zhao can be easily provoked by them!
"The salt method of Changlu is a method of drying sea salt. It does not need to waste money and money from the treasury. It is estimated that the production will not be worse than that of Jiangnan Salt Field..."

Chen Zhao talked about his plan leisurely, but the courtiers were stunned by the shock, but they did not dare to refute because of the lessons learned from the past.

The method of drying sea salt is not a strange thing. It has been practiced in previous generations, but it was abandoned due to various well-known reasons. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhao had this idea.

"Isn't Mr. Chen worried that the amount of salt produced will be too large, which will affect the court's salt tax revenue?"

Finally, Sanfu Chen Wen, who was also a cabinet minister, couldn't hold back, and asked with anger on his face.

"Hehe, how much is the court's salt tax?"

Chen Zhao chuckled, but what he said was shocking: "It's only 200 million taels a year, and you have to trade the life of the inspector of salt. People can breathe a sigh of relief, can't they?"

"Salt tax..."

"Go to Nima's salt tax, if the salt tax is less than last year, how much less I can get money to subsidize it myself?"

Chen Zhao's face darkened and he suddenly cursed angrily. He pointed at Chen Wen and said with a sneer, "If the Changlu Salt Farm not only doesn't affect the salt tax revenue but also has a surplus, you can give the surplus to the national treasury with the amount of your surplus. ?”

The whole court was shocked. They didn't expect Chen Zhao to be so courageous. He actually pointed at a cabinet minister and yelled at him at the court meeting. It was an insult to a gentleman and not a man.

But no one dared to take the lead. This was a war of the cabinet ministers, and the subordinates had no right to intervene. Besides, if Chen Zhao was targeting him, what would he do if he wanted to bet?
What happened to the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River? Except for the nerds with poor brains, who didn't know what was going on?

If it is possible to collect all the salt tax, the national treasury will pay at least tens of millions of taels of silver every year!

No one knows how much production and income the sea salt salt farm created by Chen Zhao can produce, and it is no joke to get caught accidentally.

"You, you, you, I have always been an upright official, and my family has no money left..."

Chen Wen was so angry that he fell back, blowing his beard and staring, wishing to give Chen Zhao a good beating, and spoke with dignity.

"Tsk tsk, the concubine in the mansion in Li Ge's hometown, the fertile fields outside the city, and..."

Chen Zhao interrupted Chen Wen without hesitation and spoke lightly with a sneer on his face. The words that followed were not spoken, which was obviously very predictable.

"you you you……"

Chen Wen's old face was flushed with suffocation, his face was as embarrassing as a pig's liver, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak, only the sound of his panting was heard in the quiet Zixiao Palace.

Chen Zhao was so disdainful that he didn't even bother to look at this guy any more. He bowed his hands to the emperor, and continued to explain his "government outline" in terms of salt and iron.

The subsequent court meeting was extremely smooth, and all the courtiers saw Chen Zhao's fighting power, and thought to themselves that they were no match at all, so they didn't have the guts to refute.

Whether it was Chen Zhao's slap in the face, the emperor's obvious favoritism, or the collective silence of several cabinet ministers, all of these made this grand court meeting a smooth end in a strange atmosphere.

"Master Chen is so beautiful and domineering, I just hope that Master Chen can maintain it for a long time!"

After getting out of the main hall, Chen Wen blocked Chen Zhao's way, and said with a gloomy and disdainful face, "I'm afraid that the Zhongyonghou's mansion will be destroyed by then!"

"Mr. Kuizhai threatened me?"

Chen Zhao smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Chen Wen, courtesy name Anjian, nicknamed Kuizhai, was born in Luling, Jiangxi.

He himself was very skilled, and when Emperor Yingzong died, when Zifu ascended the throne today, he used clever tricks to drive away the eunuch Wang Lun, expelled the cabinet minister Qian Fu, and secured his position as the cabinet chief assistant Li Xian , and respect him very much.

It can be said that Chen Wen has a very high prestige among the ruling and opposition parties!
"Just advice!"

Chen Wen smiled coldly, his eyes were cold and murderous.

Ha ha……

Chen Zhao smiled softly and patted Chen Wen on the shoulder. From the outside, the two of them behaved intimately, which aroused a lot of surprise, and even some people with dark minds suspected that the two guys were singing a double act just now.

"The day you fall down will be the time when the Chen family in Luling will be completely destroyed!"

A cold and hard voice sounded in Chen Wen's ears, which made the old man tremble and feel extremely uncomfortable. When he realized it, Chen Zhao had strode away, and he said in a cold voice full of resentment, "We'll see!"

That night, Chen Wen, a cabinet minister, suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma. Li's residence was in chaos, and he died before the imperial doctor invited from the palace arrived.

On the second day, Chen Zhaoqin led officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, as well as soldiers from the five cities and horses to surround Li's mansion, directly broke into the house and ransacked the house.

Such a crazy act immediately shocked the government and the public, and Chen Zhao's reputation of "reckless behavior" became popular. A group of civil servants, led by the chief assistant Li Xian and the second assistant Shang Ren, went to the palace to face the saint, begging the saint to stop Chen Zhao's madness, and at the same time Severely punish this guy for his 'inappropriate' behavior.

Seeing that his face was sinking like water, Zhu saw that the court officials were making a lot of noise, so he threw a thick booklet in his hand to Li Xian's feet, and said coldly: "This is the so-called Shilin model Li Ge's youngest, Shilin It's too cheap, isn't it?"

The two elders felt a little bit in their hearts, they didn't dare to say any more nonsense, they picked up the memorial on the ground and read it carefully.

The booklets are full of conclusive evidence that Chen Wen has been corrupt and perverted the law over the years. The most serious one is that he secretly collects amazing contributions for serving as a protective umbrella for Jiangnan salt merchants!

Originally, they wanted to say a few words of love for the Chen Wen family, but as an extremely efficient house raiding team, they returned the 200 million taels of cash, 30 taels of gold, and all kinds of valuable jewelry that they had seized from Chen Wen's family. There are isolated ancient books, and the title deeds of thousands of acres of land outside Gyeonggi City, as well as the deeds of dozens of shops in the bustling area of ​​Jingdu City, as well as the contracts of Chen Wen's tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River and hundreds of shops. , Zhu Jianshen's face was as dark as ink, and the two pavilion elders sighed, and were speechless.And a group of civil servants were so shocked that their faces were pale and trembling.

"Chen Wen, a traitor, deceived the emperor and committed crimes. He was stripped of all his merits and deeds, and the entire family was demoted to a lowly position..."

Zhu Jianshen issued orders in a calm tone, and a wealthy family collapsed in one day...

The elders of the two dynasties, the cabinet ministers died suddenly, and their family collapsed overnight.

As for who the murderer was, everyone knew quite well, except for the cabinet minister who had just entered the cabinet, Chen Zhao, who was known as the master of martial arts, who else could it be?

But everyone knew that this was not in Hengju at all.

For a time, Chen Zhao's reputation as a "powerful minister" disappeared!

In the second year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, Li Xian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, became an official and died of illness two months later.

He is over 60 years old, he has entered his sixtieth year, and has been a great minister for many years, so he can be regarded as going smoothly.

But the civil servants in the court are like mourning concubines!

Because there seems to be one less person who can check and balance Chen Zhao.

Under such circumstances, it doesn't matter who serves as the prefect of Jinmen!
Because Chen Zhao used all the northerners who had no ambitions in the officialdom, and there was a natural gap with the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty.

So even if there are many changes and twists and turns, no one will get close to the civil servants from Jiangnan!
On the contrary, Shang Ren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, fully supported Chen Zhaozhi's move.

"A bunch of idiots who only talk about people and don't do anything about people. Do you really think that the court can't run without you?"

What everyone didn't expect was that in the Ming Dynasty, "police stations" under the vertical control of the Ministry of Justice began to be established in the capital and Tianjin!

At the same time, Chen Zhao also took advantage of the opportunity to establish an armed police department to deal with organized evil forces.

But under the huge income of Jinmen Changlu Salt Farm, all this has not been noticed at all...

Suddenly, several years passed, and Chen Zhao completed the big cleansing of the court.

In the court, everyone bowed their heads to him.

So Chen Zhao took the opportunity to get his hands on the military power.

With his wrist, within two or three years, he controlled the three major battalions, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the troops of the nine border gates.

Not only did he establish several military academies, but they were all under the control of his people, from commanders to generals to low-level soldiers.

When all the governors and chief soldiers wrote to Chen Zhao, they called themselves "running dogs".

So Chen Zhao led the three battalions, led troops out of the customs, and wiped out 3000 Mongolian and Yuan troops in World War I, and killed [-] Mongolian nobles including Dayan Khan. Chen Zhao followed the practice of the Qing Dynasty and promoted the Yellow Sect, and the descendants of the nobles who surrendered became monks. , only the youngest son was left, and after ten years of study in the Central Plains, he returned to the grassland to inherit power.

Later, Shanxi merchants were the pioneers, and their economic tentacles were thoroughly penetrated into the grasslands. They built cities and industry and commerce in areas with abundant rivers and flat terrain, and constantly instigated relationships between nobles.

Afterwards, Chen Zhao led his army back to Beijing and was welcomed by Emperor Chenghua out of the city. The chief governor and the chief inspector of Jinyiwei.

In the 22nd year of Chenghua, the emperor died, and the newly enthroned emperor Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youtang became a puppet.

From the Chenghua period, Chen Zhao vigorously developed the military industry and shipbuilding industry, and continuously dispatched navy to rob Japan and Nanyang, thus rebelling against the domestic military industry and driving the development of all walks of life.

In the third year of Hongzhi, Chen Zhao took full control of the political power, forced Zhu Youtang to abdicate, made abdication, and ascended the throne himself as emperor. He changed the year name to "Yonghan" and the country name to Xia.

He ruled the country for 30 years, established an industrial system, established an education system, and then cultivated a group of loyal officials. After that, he began to implement land reform, began to continuously attack the landlord class, and used relevant laws to regulate land policies.

In the 30th year of Yonghan, the landlord class was completely suppressed, and Daxia became an industrial powerhouse, so it began the Nanyang era of conquering overseas and establishing colonies.

And in this year, Chen Zhao abdicated, and the battle-tested prince ascended the throne.

Chen Zhao also returned to the main world this year.

He has great supernatural powers and boundless mana, and the main world is no longer his paradise, so he turned his attention to the entire galaxy.

So he used his magical powers, flew into space, and searched for the root of the system...
