Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 482
Now judging from the news from Jin Zidian, the Ming country is not strong at all now.The barbarians who originated between the white mountains and the black waters defeated the Ming country steadily, and they even ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperors.

Now North Korea is a land of no owner. If the Wa country can occupy this land of no owner, that would be the easiest thing to do.The Ming Dynasty has only less than [-] Dongjiang troops here, and it mainly deals with the Liaodong rebellion.

As for the land route, it is even more impossible for Ming to invade North Korea.No matter what, the first thing to do is to defeat the rebellion in Liaodong!
In such a total, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt that this is a godsend opportunity, to make him the first most outstanding general in the history of the Wa Kingdom, that is, the Wa Kingdom will own a piece of land!
To be honest, Tokugawa Iemitsu was excited.However, he is also rational and dare not make a rash decision to send troops to North Korea.

After some secret discussions, Tokugawa Iemitsu decided, first, to send people to North Korea to verify the situation;If Wa sent troops to North Korea, how would these big names react.

Daimufu of the Wa Kingdom was originally responsible for monitoring senior officials of the shogunate, especially daimyos from all walks of life, a bit similar to Jin Yiwei of Ming Dynasty.Therefore, Tokugawa Iemitsu handed over this task to Kagazume Tadasumi.

On the side of Lao Naka Matsudaira Nobutsuna, he began to make secret preparations for the annexation of North Korea.After all, annexing North Korea is a major event. Whether it is the mobilization of food and supplies, the mobilization of soldiers, or the relocation of Japanese people, it will take a long time to prepare.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen still didn't know about this matter. At this time, he also saw that the end of the year was coming, so he began to summarize the situation of this year.

All in all, there were no major disasters in the Ming Dynasty this year, only one earth dragon turned over, which did not have a big impact on farming.In this way, the food problem in the coming year will be well alleviated.This made Emperor Chongzhen feel that the Little Ice Age was about to pass, right?If so, that would be great!
At the end of last year, they won the battle of Guihua City, cleared the area from Gansu to Shanxi of the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongolian forces outside the Great Wall, so that the people at the border of the Ming Dynasty no longer suffered from military disasters.

Next is the reform of the Beijing camp, eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, and enriching the elite soldiers on the nine sides. This can be regarded as an achievement in the army.

In terms of economy, the glass factory has been officially expanded, and each province has set up one. The auction of shares has already achieved astronomical figures on the Jingshi side, and the other provinces are expected to be similar.

In addition, Jianlu destroyed North Korea. Although Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised by this, he was not sad.The destruction of North Korea is considered a good thing for Ming. In the future, it can become the North Korean province of Ming, and it will be directly under the jurisdiction of Ming. After all, that place can be regarded as a relatively important place.

Daming and Jianlu also fought two wars, the first time, the slave chieftain Huang Taiji was pissed to death.The death of this generation of heroes of Jianlu will be very beneficial to Daming.

In the second battle, Ming wiped out the influence of the Mongolian tribes in the east, took over the Aohan tribe, and went to the extreme north to declare sovereignty for Daming.In addition, it also cut off the largest military alliance of Jianlu, which by the way added obstacles to Jianlu and increased the food pressure on Jianlu.

Looking back on all this, Emperor Chongzhen was generally satisfied.According to the plan, Jianlu is being weakened step by step, and at the same time, he is also strengthening himself step by step.At least at this time, Emperor Chongzhen no longer worried about the salary of the frontier army.

The promotion of sweet potatoes continued for another year, and it became a staple food in many places in Ming Dynasty, preventing the possibility of famine, which can be regarded as a success in farming.Going forward, Nongsi's breeding of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn will produce more and more results.Historical experience has proved that these crops can breed high-yield seeds and become high-yield crops.In this way, the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty will become better and better.

Nearly a year has passed, and according to the inspection at the border gate, there are no new Mongolian tribes to occupy the Hetao Plain.On the contrary, some fugitives went there in order to evade taxes.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen decided that he would no longer use this piece of fat to hang the Mongols. It was time to send an edict to Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three sides, and Chen Qiyu, the governor of Xuanda, and asked them to organize manpower to move to the Hetao Plain and build Guihua City. , Set up a county to open up wasteland and farmland to make up for the shortage of farmland in the pass.

After thinking about these things for a while, Emperor Chongzhen focused his attention on the military again.The innovation of the Beijing camp has been effective.This can be seen from the battle on the grassland this time.After continuing to train, there shouldn't be many problems if you want to use it next year.

In addition, those who are eliminated from the Beijing camp and cannot be used as combat soldiers are prepared to be used in local engineering troops. Although they are only used for disaster prevention and disaster prevention, building roads and bridges, etc., they must also be rewarded based on their merits and given some Promotion hope.Then, next year we will carry out reform of the military system of the guard station on a larger scale.

By the way, there is also the war in Yunnan. Although it is far away from the capital, it has been many years and cannot be delayed forever.

Ma Xianglin has a Grade A eavesdropping seed on his body.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen knew that because of the terrain and environment in Yunnan, although the Baigan Army and the coalition forces of other chieftains had no problem defeating the rebels, they could not be wiped out.

Regarding this, Emperor Chongzhen decided to send an imperial decree to Mu Tianbo in Yunnan, telling Mu Tianbo to hurry up and solve the rebellion, otherwise, he would be unhappy!
This is a threat, asking Mu Tianbo to spend some of the money he has accumulated over hundreds of years.As long as the money is thrown out, Emperor Chongzhen doesn't believe that the traitors can't be exterminated, so why is he delaying it like this!
After thinking about the matter for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly brought back to his senses by the sound. When he heard it, it was the sound of "cracking" firecrackers coming from outside the Forbidden City.

"Another year is going to pass!" After hearing this, he stood up, stretched, and said with a smile.

Fang Zhenghua, the eunuch on duty, immediately responded with a smile when he heard it: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, people's life is not known how much better. The sound of firecrackers has already started a few days ago! Slaves, listen, My heart is full of joy!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said with a smile: "Oh, it's rare for me to take a break. Let's go out of the palace with me to see how my people are doing."

Hearing this, Fang Zhenghua couldn't help being dumbfounded. If he had known that such a thing would happen, he would not have said such a thing.

Although Fang Zhenghua was considered a man of great skill in the palace, it was said that he was the prototype of Dongfang Invincible in later generations.But no matter what, it was a big event for the emperor to leave the palace.For them, if they can stay out of the palace, of course it is best not to leave the palace.

But now that the emperor's golden mouth had been opened, he didn't dare to disobey it, so he agreed and gave urgent orders to prepare for the emperor's departure from the palace.

It didn't take long for Emperor Chongzhen to go out of the palace in micro-clothes, and began to stroll on Jingshi Street under the guard of Jinyi Guards who were also plainclothes.

When he first crossed over, Emperor Chongzhen also went out of the palace in micro-clothes to check the people's sentiments.At that time, Jianlu was still raging in the capital, the streets were deserted, and there were refugees. It can be said that the legendary prosperity of the Ming capital really disappointed him.

But this time, after Emperor Chongzhen left the palace, he found that what he saw and heard was completely different from before.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the streets and alleys of Daming are full of people. Well, most of what I see is beaming, laughing, and everywhere.

In order to attract customers, many merchants also put up lanterns and festoons, and there is a festive atmosphere at first glance. The guys are shouting, and goods from all over the world can be seen.

Emperor Chongzhen noticed that firecrackers would be set off in mansions with a little bit of façade, and when there was a crackling sound, a group of children came to hear the sound, laughing and laughing, so lively!

……

Regarding these situations, Emperor Chongzhen was very pleased.Daming should be like this, if it is like before, it would be too dereliction of duty to be an emperor.

Seeing the smiles on the emperor's eyebrows, Fang Zhenghua, who was waiting on the sidelines, complimented him with a smile: "Master, the scenes of the prosperous age recorded in the history books are nothing more than this!"

Regarding this flattery, Emperor Chongzhen readily accepted it, but on the surface, he said lightly: "There is still a gap between my thinking and my master! Just look, most people still can't afford silk and satin!"

"..." Fang Zhenghua and the surrounding Jinyi guards were speechless when they heard this, thinking in their hearts, Your Majesty, you want all the people to wear silk and satin, how is this possible?

With such thoughts in mind, no one would be foolish enough to spoil the emperor's interest. Naturally, he dared not deny it face to face, but instead perfunctory, repeatedly saying yes.

Emperor Chongzhen also noticed this, but he didn't care.Most of the people wear silk and satin, so what's so strange about it?As long as productivity is improved, materials are enriched, and the people are rich, wearing silk and satin is nothing!
Thinking of this, he walked forward step by step, continuing to look at the beaming scene in front of him.On some streets, there are juggling performances, and he will stop and watch for a while, and if he thinks it is good, he will naturally reward him with money, and he will often attract a lot of attention.

After watching a monkey show and enjoying the feeling of a rich man for a while, he just turned to leave and was about to move forward when someone suddenly stopped in front of him.When Jin Yiwei, who was pretending to be a servant, saw it, he immediately stepped forward to stop him.

"Sir, I am the envoy of the Western God. I see that your noble family seems to be losing money in the coming year, so I am here to resolve it."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the sound, he saw a Ming man, dressed as a Western missionary, staring at him seriously, and was stunned for a moment.In later generations, this is very common, but in this Ming Dynasty, it is still a bit rare.

What this person said was a bit alarmist, but if it was an ordinary rich person, when he heard this, he would rather believe it or not, and would always ask to understand the situation.In this way, the purpose of this person's words has been achieved.

Regarding this kind of trick, Emperor Chongzhen knew it well, and couldn't help sneering, do you know who I am, and dare to fool me on my head?

But at this time, he was in a good mood, and he didn't want to talk to this kind of person, so he walked away, ready to continue to look at the next place.

When the man saw Emperor Chongzhen ignoring him, he immediately became anxious.According to their practice of preaching, they usually target officials and wealthy households first.

As for the officials, this person is not qualified enough, but if he is a rich man, he can try his luck.

At this moment, seeing that the big fat sheep who had been staring at it for a long time seemed not interested, and wanted to leave, he quickly raised his voice and said, "This benefactor, is you interested in the touch stone?"

Midas touch?When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he stood still, turned his head to look at the man, and thought to himself, who are you fooling, you dare to say that a touch of stone can be turned into gold, believe it or not, the chemical experiments I have done are more powerful than all of you combined! need more!
Seeing Emperor Chongzhen standing still, the man couldn't help being overjoyed.It seems that rich people are really interested in incoming money.So, he quickly seized the opportunity, immediately turned into a mysterious expression, and tried to get close to Emperor Chongzhen, but was stopped by plainclothes Jinyi guards, so he had to say to Emperor Chongzhen from a distance: "This benefactor, the touchstone of our Western God The technique of turning stone into gold is well-known, if you are sincere, and you can join the teaching after being assessed by God Envoy, you can teach the technique of turning stone into gold!"

Unsurprisingly, alarmist talk, or exaggeration and lure, are all for the purpose of attracting people to the religion.

In this era, most of the people in Ming Dynasty believed in Buddhism and Taoism. Among them, the emperor of Ming Dynasty mostly believed in Taoism. The most famous one was naturally Emperor Jiajing who wanted to live forever, and he practiced in the palace all day long.

The Emperor Chongzhen also remembered the Western religion. The missionary Tang Ruowang tried every means to get close to the original Emperor Chongzhen, using Western gadgets as a stepping stone, and was finally appointed as an official of the Qintian Supervisor. He was translating the almanac for Daming and promoting astronomy , making instruments.He also cast cannons for the Ming Dynasty, and with this credit, he also asked the original Emperor Chongzhen to bestow the four characters "Qin Praise Tianxue", and made plaques and distributed them to churches around the world to hang.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little unhappy.His vision, of course, is not like that of Daming, who is only limited to what he sees.But according to the records of later generations, we know that the Western missionaries of this era are more of a kind of expansion of the Western Yi, spiritual expansion, combined with the colonization of the Western Yi with guns and artillery.

Contribute to the world?Yes, such as spreading Western scientific culture, but more, it brought blood and fire!Even in Daming, it was the same at the beginning, but he was beaten down by Daming, and he didn't dare to use force anymore.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen frowned, feeling displeased, turned around and left, disappointing the man very much.I feel that over the years, the life of the people of Ming Dynasty has become better and better, and this missionary task has become more and more difficult. In this way, when will I learn the art of turning stones into gold?
Emperor Chongzhen didn't care, he continued to stroll around for a while, and suddenly, Fang Zhenghua approached him, and said in a low voice, "My lord, some acquaintances are here."

　Ming people felt that Western missionaries came to Daming empty-handed, but they were not short of money, and when they heard about their knowledge of Western chemistry, they thought that they would turn stones into gold. According to records, a father and son in Guangdong wanted to learn this, that is I don't know how much effort has been put into it. It seems that Matteo Ricci used his tricks and claimed that there is a little bit of stone into gold. This matter is recorded in the book "Ming Dynasty Science and Technology".
