The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 142 Obtained the World Gate Fragment
Emperor Xianfeng looked at the reports from the various residences, and the expression on his face was rather indistinct.

But in fact, at this moment, there is only anger in his heart, not the slightest joy.The reason why he didn't show it was because even if he spit wildly at the courtiers, it wouldn't help.

It is even possible for these courtiers to switch to the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which believes in Catholicism and integrates religious theocracy and political power, none of the main leaders has a serious background. At this time, the area controlled by the Qing Dynasty is far smaller than that of the Qing Dynasty, and it is also much smaller than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. country, to make Emperor Xianfeng even more afraid.

It's not even just fear, but fear.

Not only because the Ming Dynasty is so good at fighting, but also because Zhao Wuji, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is definitely not a simple emperor who only knows how to fight.

"The hope of China lies in Daming, the hope of Daming lies in Zao Wou-ki, and the hope of Zao Wou-ki lies in the [-] million Chinese people."

Emperor Xianfeng uttered the words that have been passed down to the world with a blank face, and then asked the courtiers: "When our population was the strongest in the Qing Dynasty, did it have more than [-] million people?"

The courtiers didn't want to answer this question, but under the oppression of Emperor Xianfeng's eyes, Hubu Shangshu still had to stand up and answer: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there should be some, although the accounting records are 3000 million and [-] million, but considering There are quite a few refugees, as well as tenants who cannot be accounted for, and the population of villages living in seclusion, forty million is also reasonable."

The ancient census was really too difficult, so the real total population is impossible for the official to be clear, and the error of tens of millions is very possible.

For example, in the early years of Shunzhi, the national population was said to be 7000 million, but by the time of Kangxi, it had exceeded [-] million.

How could it be possible for tens of millions of people to suddenly appear in a few decades, based on ancient productivity and reproductive conditions?It's not that during the Shunzhi period, the Qing court did not really fully control the land of China, and it was difficult to count the population in the corresponding territory.

"Forty million." Emperor Xianfeng laughed suddenly, and when the laughter made the courtiers panic, he said: "That is to say, Zao Wou-ki will fill us up, deceive people, Miao people, etc. They are all Chinese. If you look at it this way, Zao Wou-ki, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, really has the world in his heart."

Most of the courtiers thought that Emperor Xianfeng had gone crazy due to the pressure, but before they had any thoughts, Emperor Xianfeng on the dragon chair put away his smile, and continued to say in a cold tone with a blank face: "At the beginning I asked Zhao Wuji Formed the No. [-] Scholar Camp, but you said that Zao Wou-ki was a Han and could not be trusted. Afterwards, Zao Wou-ki led the No. [-] Scholar Camp to win the battle. Whether you are Manchu or Han, you all want a piece of the pie, or even take it away from Zao Wou-ki. Champion camp."

Emperor Xianfeng, who I don't even claim to be, felt a lot of regret in retrospect. At this time, he looked at the courtiers in the court hall mixed with Manchu and Han people, and continued: "Later, Zhao Wuji was invincible. Among the ten thousand armies, I made him a general who was ordered to take charge of the counterinsurgency, but you still disagree. When I forced him to be a general who was ordered, you all obstructed Jiangnan for their own interests. Daying, Jiangbei Daying, Songjiang Prefecture, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry will deliver food, grass, and money to the No. [-] Scholar Operation."

"Don't say that Zhao Wuji's martial arts is the best in the world, and his prestige is incomparable for a while. Even if he is a general who is ordered by another person, it is impossible to give up. Therefore, he killed Qi Shan for food and money. In fact, in my opinion, Zhao Wuji's There is nothing wrong with doing this, after all, the purpose I asked him to form the No. [-] Scholar Battalion was to let him fight against the barbarians in the West."

"But after all, I paid you by mistake. You waited to delay reporting the military situation, so that Seng Gelinqin was asked to remove Zhao Wuji's military power. Withdrawing my own imperial decree, it was still blocked by you and ignored by Seng Gelinqin."

"I'm surprised. That Seng Gelinqin led his troops to the direction of Songjiang Mansion. The journey took more than half a month. My [-] miles were expedited. Why couldn't I catch up with him?"

Emperor Xianfeng looked at the representatives of the Manchu courtiers and asked, "What do you say?"

"The minister is guilty, and the minister is guilty."

Emperor Xianfeng looked at the representatives of the Han courtiers again, and asked, "Tell me?"

"The minister is guilty, and the minister is guilty."

Emperor Xianfeng looked at all the courtiers present, and then said: "The officials forced the people to rebel, and the people had to rebel, wait for me to force Zhao Wuji to rebel, Zhao Wuji rebelled, and Zhao Wuji rebelled, and a Ming Dynasty came out. Is it really because of the dispute between Manchu and Han? "

"Chen wait to be found guilty."

Crashing and bowing down a large area.

Emperor Xianfeng actually didn't mean to blame anyone, if he really wanted to blame, he would have to blame himself and Zhao Wuji.

"At the end of the day, I paid Zhao Wuji by mistake." Emperor Xianfeng said, "If he had no objection himself, how could he be forced by Seng Gelinqin with his unparalleled martial arts? Take Seng Gelinqin on the spot After Qin, you only need to report to me, how can I seize his military power again?"

This statement is half true and half false.

Based on the situation at the time, even if Wu Yan really had no objection, he had to. He was still a powerful county king who took the imperial envoy without permission, so how could the court forget it?
"What Your Majesty said is that Zhao Wuji has a traitor in the back of his head, and I have seen early on that he is not worthy of His Majesty's entrustment."

"Yes, yes, Zao Wou-ki thinks highly of himself, saying that he is invincible in the world, wouldn't even His Majesty despise him?"

"Your Majesty, you should prepare your army immediately to attack Zao Wou-ki and other traitors."

Emperor Xianfeng gave the eunuch next to him a look, and the eunuch shouted loudly to silence the court.

"I don't talk about rebellion today, I just say..." Emperor Xianfeng glanced at the entire court, and then said: "From today onwards, there will be no Manchu and Han distinctions in my Qing Dynasty. Once the ancestral system is made, all changes will be made. Unity. The Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp should enjoy the same treatment, and the Manchus as ministers should also enjoy the same treatment as the Han people.”

As soon as this remark came out, there was an instant uproar in the court.

The Manchu ministers were about to speak out to dissuade them, but they felt the threatening eyes of Emperor Xianfeng and the excited eyes of the Han ministers beside them.

The smarter ones immediately chose to shut up.

Although this is harming their interests, they have no right to fight. If they really want to confront Emperor Xianfeng, what will happen to them?
As for the courtiers of the Han people, there is still a chance to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but even if they are Manchu courtiers, even if they are one of the [-] Chinese people in Zao Wou-ki’s mouth, it is impossible for them to take refuge in the Qing Dynasty before the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Chance.

Even if a very small number of people succeed in seeking refuge, the treatment is not the same as being in the Qing court, so why bother to vote?
When the courtiers were discussing a lot, Emperor Xianfeng, who had been prepared for a long time, directly asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to read out the relevant details of the changes one by one.

Only then did the others know that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials had known about this for a long time, but he didn't say anything. There were also some important courtiers who had expressions of indignation or shock just now, listening to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials read these detailed rules, There is even a feeling that I already knew it.

Those Manchu courtiers who wanted to oppose finally understood at this moment that Emperor Xianfeng was determined this time, and wanted to compete with Zao Wou-ki of the Ming Dynasty for the loyalty of the Han people.

This is also a helpless way, if Emperor Xianfeng doesn't do this, that person will be snatched away by the Ming Dynasty.

In fact it is.

During the reform period of Emperor Xianfeng, thousands of people came to Tokyo, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Many people didn’t dare to come before. After all, they were in a war zone, and they were very likely to be bombarded by the Western barbarian navy and the Qing court’s navy. However, they gave up a certain distance from the coastline in Tokyo City and occupied Changzhou. After the area within the line of , Suzhou, and Hangzhou, Tokyo City is no longer the main theater of war.

Coupled with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, which has reached 10 people, and with the layoff of [-] Hunan troops, one can imagine how elite these [-] people are.

Counting the Zhuangyuan Battalion and the five hundred white horses, sixty heavy artillery pieces, and more than fifty thousand muskets, the already invincible Ming Dynasty has greatly improved its strength.

There are more than 5 muskets, some of which were originally owned by the Hunan Army.

Don't worry about safety issues. Naturally, many people of insight have come to join us.

"Those people are the regular army of the western barbarians? They defeated the 20 army of the Qing court before?"

Everyone who came to Tokyo City was very excited to see more than 7000 prisoners in the prisoner-of-war area outside the city.

In ancient times, news was blocked and it was difficult to circulate it. For a long time, some false news would be spread as true news.

So these people who came to the Ming Dynasty were also worried that the news they heard was false.

But seeing the more than 1 foreigners huddled there like quails, they no longer have any doubts about the rumored information.

"Yes." Someone from Tokyo said proudly: "A few months ago, foreigners walked sideways on the streets, and no one dared to provoke them. There is also a concession area, and we and the Ming people have to allow it." Enter. But now, look at the foreigners on the street, no matter whether they are wealthy businessmen, ministers, consuls, military generals, etc., who dare to walk sideways? They don’t dare to speak loudly when they are shopping on the street, and the concession is even worse. He was directly pushed by His Majesty."

This is calling himself a Daming person?

Thinking that he would also become a Daming native, those outsiders who asked aloud asked worriedly: "If we get registered in the future, will we be bullied by the local snakes in Tokyo?"

"Lord snake? There are no local snakes in Tokyo, and there is no such thing as locals and outsiders. As long as you enter Daming's household registration, everyone is from Daming, from China, and from your own country. Besides, it's true that those who live on the street Is it impossible to arrange the soldiers on patrol? You know, they are the captains of Guangdong and Xiaodao Guilds of the previous Tiandihui, and the soldiers of Mr. Liu Lichuan, Minister of the Ministry of War. He is the most loyal man in the world. And never oppress the good."

"You mean those who wear patrol uniforms? I thought they were government servants on patrol."

"Then you are ignorant and ignorant. They are called the inspection army. They say they are at the same level as His Majesty's champion army, but your majesty's champion army is in charge of the outside, and they are in charge, so they are also called the Wen champion army."

"I can't do it. These soldiers are all good."

"You're right, but it's not good, and the end is a military law. In the past four months, do you know how many people have been punished by the military law? It really killed a lot of people. Fortunately, you are at this time Come, earlier, it will not be as easy as it is now."

After watching the foreign captive camps and inquiring about some news, those who came to vote from other places went to the relevant departments and entered the household registration of the Ming Dynasty.

This is the first step, and it is a necessary step.

After that, I went to different departments to look for jobs with my household registration information. Some people with special skills and connections, such as Brother Li and Brother Wang from Guangdong, were directly assigned to Daming Academy of Sciences.

Others who want to enter the corresponding department need to take the corresponding qualification test.

There is no need to worry if you fail the test. Under the influence of Wu Yan's modern ideas, people of insight like Zeng Guofan also deeply feel the backwardness of the talent training and selection system before the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the Daming Kingdom established the Daming Academy, which is temporarily regarded as a subsidiary institution of the Academy of Sciences, and is specially used to train corresponding talents.

However, there were too many people who came, and almost all of them were 'talents' who did not meet the times. One Daming Academy was definitely not enough, and Tokyo Taixue came into being.

Although the name is Taixue, the corresponding teaching system is the same as the universities of later generations.

Not only training military personnel and scientists, but also training workers.

It is obviously unrealistic for all [-] Hunan troops to farm, so factories came into being.

The first thing to be built was the military factory. It was said to be a military factory, but now it only has three functions.Clothing factories, steelmaking factories, and forging factories manufacture new military uniforms, helmets, and cold weapons for the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

In this era, the concept of helmets has not yet been popularized. The Ming soldiers equipped with helmets will definitely improve their combat effectiveness.

With Wu Yan's technical support, the steelmaking quality of the Daming National Military Factory has reached the top level of this era, but because it has not yet developed equipment such as lathes, it is impossible to manufacture guns and ammunition in large quantities.

But the muzzle flintlock muskets that are commonly used now can already be manufactured.

"If only I could have a scientist help me."

Seeing that the end of the six-month first phase of the world mission is getting closer and closer, Wu Yan hopes to travel to a world of modern society.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally impossible for him to conduct research and teach students there every day.

So he wants to go to modern society and bring an expert back to this world.

"Your Majesty, the war reparations from Britain, France and the United States have arrived."

Qian Jiang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, finally brought good news, saying: "This minister is guilty. I wanted to ask for 1000 taels, but in the end, only 1000 million taels came, and I failed His Majesty's trust."

Of course, Wu Yan would not blame Qian Jiang. He said 1000 million taels before, and he also calculated the maximum amount of ransom that these three countries can offer at this time by referring to the relevant knowledge of Zola's character card.

"Then let them go. They are raising nearly 2 people. It's a waste of food."

After Wu Yan gave the order, all the captives returned to their warships. At the same time, the Zhuangyuan Battalion and martial arts masters also arrived near the coastline to stand ready.

If the coalition forces want to fight, they will definitely take action after the prisoners of war are captured. Even if they don't fight for a while, they will definitely fight in the future.

But what Wu Yan didn't expect was that after more than 100 warships and more than 100 merchant ships took the prisoners, they ran away without looking back.

"Are you really afraid of being beaten, or is the war in the Cromia region tense, and the situation in the United States is tense?"

Wu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, without the threat of these coalition forces, the first stage of the world mission would be completely fine.

Whether it was the Qing court or the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he didn't pay attention to it.

Moreover, the two sides are now fighting bloody battles. The Qing court must have retaliated against Shi Dakai, the winged king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty was so powerful that the Qing court did not dare to fight, and the generals of the Qing court who wanted to make meritorious contributions to the Qing court had no choice but to find a soft pinch and go to fight the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

When the six months came, when Tokyo City and Daming Kingdom had a completely new look, Wu Yan also heard the system's prompt.

He is going to cross again.
