Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 330

Time quickly came to the day of the big festival. Before that, countless people were actively preparing for related matters, and Bai Mingxiu hardly had a day off.

And before the big ceremony, Tang Beilu and other senior officials of the Council also made many reports to Bai Mingxiu.The politics of Nanming can be said to be the development of anti-monarchy centralization. Bai Mingxiu delegated most of the power to the Council of Governors, which in turn delegated powers to local public offices. While ensuring administrative efficiency, supervision must also be in place. In Bai Mingxiu, Under Xi Jinping's reforms, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has transformed from a place for impeaching officials to an institution that inspects local governance achievements and scrutinizes officials' conduct and reputation.

To put it simply, Nanming is an enlightened monarchy. The cabinet is responsible to the monarch, and one way to ensure that the cabinet and local governments do this is to have a strong Metropolitan Procuratorate.The supervisory system, administrative system and judicial system have become three parallel systems in Nanming, but they are definitely not the separation of powers system like in the West.The three major systems are integrated under the authority of the monarch and the interests of the people.

This time, Tang Beilu and other high-level executives of the Lizhengyuan came to Shuntian, and they also started planning for the northward relocation of the Lizhengyuan ahead of schedule.Although this action will not be carried out in the short term, preliminary planning is necessary.The Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Court, and High Procuratorate have all completed their relocation, and have started working directly in Shuntian.

On the day of the great sacrifice, it was very rare for Tang Beilu to wear court clothes, and none of the cabinet members wore formal clothes, and all of them wore toga and long sleeves.According to the pre-Ming ritual system, officials' costumes were divided into court clothes, sacrificial clothes, public clothes, ordinary clothes, swallow clothes and bestowal clothes.However, according to the new etiquette system promoted by Bai Mingxiu, officials in daily office wear formal clothes, and traditional clothes are only used as formal clothes on important occasions, so there is no need to divide court clothes, sacrificial clothes, etc. A new court dress was formed.

The black gauze hat, the collared shirt, the drawstring, and the gold thread embroidered patch on the chest are all different in color according to the grade.In the past, civilian officials embroidered birds and military officers embroidered animals. Nowadays, military personnel have military uniforms and no longer wear official uniforms.So the only supplements are birds.

When Tang Beilu saw Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong coming together, he saluted them, "King of Jin, King of Ying."

The two princes did not dare to neglect and returned the courtesy to Tang Beilu: "Prime Minister Tang."

Although Tang Beilu is an Australian and has little reputation, everyone in the court knows the important role of Tang Beilu.The administration of the prince's supervisory country is very dependent on the Lizheng Yuan. Tang Beilu is a man who does not fight or grab, and does not seem to have any coercion, but his ability is extremely strong. During the two years after Nanming returned to the Central Plains, Tang Beilu took care of government affairs one by one. Everything was handled extremely properly, which not only provided for a series of military operations of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army, but also allowed the common people to live and work in peace and contentment, and recuperate.To this day, the majority of scholars and local bureaucrats highly recognize Tang Beilu.Some people even compare him with Zhang Juzheng, and even think that he is even more famous than the arrogant and assertive Zhang Juzheng, and the gentle and prudent Tang Beilu.

Tang Beilu smiled slightly and said, "You two princes, would you like to go to the other side to get some food and water? Today's big ceremony will take a long time."

Li Dingguo said: "I'm worried about you. I've already eaten it."

Looking at the busy staff at the grand festival, he couldn't help feeling, "I used to think that this day will come, and the country will be restored. Every time I think about it, it still seems like a dream."

Zheng Chenggong didn't speak, and he was extremely sighed in his heart.He once lost confidence in defending the Han family, and it was Bai Mingxiu who led the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army to topple the Man Qing, who seemed to have won the world, from the throne.Although his Zheng family has basically declined at this time, from a powerful force in the separatist regime to an influential political family in the court, the environment has also undergone tremendous changes.

Tang Beilu still smiled gently and said: "According to His Highness, we have control of the general trend and the people's hearts, and all success will be a matter of time. Yesterday, I received a report from Di that General Su Shuhuan's army has captured Ganzhou. It seems that not only We will reorganize all the territory of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the Western Regions touched by the Central Plains Dynasty will also be returned to the Holy Emperor."

Li Dingguo is the commander of the army, and he understands these things better, so he feels quite regretful.Now that General Su Shuhuan has become the number one general in the Ming army. He moved from the south of the Yangtze River to Huguang, went north to capture Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, and now he has invaded the Hexi Corridor.It seems that the prince told him to fight wherever he went. Although the war in the final stage was not too intense, no one could match this feat.

"General Su had several battles with the Heshuo Special Forces in Qinghai, and the Heshuo Special Forces were defeated very quickly. General Su is now using negotiation methods to restrain the Heshuo Special Forces, so that our country can take Uszang without bloodshed. and Qinghai."

Tang Beilu nodded and said: "The Mongols have little contact with us, and they don't know what kind of enemy they are dealing with. The Heshuo Special Forces are not trustworthy, at most they just fight and stop. After all, this battle will continue Fighting, His Royal Highness hopes to set up provinces in Qinghai and Uzang, and will never allow Heshuote to continue to claim our vassal in the form of a khanate and maintain neutrality, so I am afraid that General Su will continue to fight."

Su Shuhuan's large corps had [-] men and horses. In fact, the scale of the battles in the northwest was very small, which also alleviated Su Shuhuan's trouble in managing his own logistics.Su Shuhuan has written twice to the Ministry of War and the prince, hoping to speed up the construction of the Longhai Railway as soon as possible. A railway line that runs from east to west is the key to ensuring peace in the northwest territory of the Ming Empire.

Listening to them discussing these topics, Zheng Sen sighed as calmly as a fight in the streets and alleys after dinner, "The prosperous age is coming."

Tang Beilu's eyes shone with wisdom and he said: "The prosperous age is coming, but the Ming Dynasty can never put away its minions. After the unification of the past dynasties, they have been content with the status quo. But the world is far bigger than they imagined. , external enemies are also on the rise. Ming Dynasty must create a safe geopolitical environment for itself, and always let its national power lead the world, even exceeding the sum of other countries in the world. In order to protect the security and prosperity of the Central Plains, our The army must fight further afield. This is not a militancy, but a matter of moving forward with a heavy load."

In fact, the two princes could vaguely understand what Tang Beilu said. Now that the Ming Dynasty is constantly using troops, but it does not impose three rates as it did in the late Ming Dynasty, which caused social unrest. Now the country is quite stable and people's lives are improving.While going against common sense, people have to consider that the world has indeed changed.
