The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 265 Huatong Has a Bold Idea
"Hua Tong, find me two people to accompany Juan Fu to England."

In the study room of the Imperial Palace in Nanjing City, Wu Yan put aside the scroll blessing and said to Hua Tong: "I want to find out how many magicians they have and what level is the most powerful."

For this task, Hua Tong was not surprised at all, because when he saw Juan Fu showing his magic, he was amazed for a moment.

Although Juanfu's magic seems useless, just like martial arts are divided into high and low, magicians must also have a big gap.

"Your Majesty, I have a bold idea."

Huatong cupped his hands, and his voice was completely feminine at this time. In front of Wu Yan, he never concealed his true appearance, and said: "I have a few people who practice the Sunflower Book, and the current state is not as good as that of Wu Yan. The ministers are no different from women, and they look very weak on the outside. Therefore, the minister thinks that one of them can be pretended to be given to Juanfu, pretending to be his maid to accompany him to England."

You are so bold.

Wu Yan was shocked by Hua Tong's thoughts, and he also forgot the business and asked, "Hua Tong, tell me honestly, did you see that Juan Fu was interesting to you, so you deliberately rejected him in this way? "

Huatong blushed instantly, and said, "I dare not lie to Your Majesty, there is indeed a reason for this."

Seeing Huatong like this, Wu Yan felt as if he would slap Huatong to death. After all, Huatong was a man before, but now...

Why does it turn from an ordinary-looking man into a beautiful woman after practicing "Sunflower Treasure" to become a woman?
Tsk...disgusting.

"No." Wu Yan resolutely refused, and said: "Although there are Shiquan Dabu pills, the relationship between men and women is too mysterious. If your man likes that scroll of blessings, and then runs away with him, he will also bestow the blessings on you." Your "Sunflower Treasure" has been passed on, wouldn't that spoil my big business?"

Shiquan Dabu Pill is the Sanshi Brain Pill.

Although Wu Yan already possesses the charisma of personality that makes people bow down, and the unparalleled power in the world, but for some relatively important people, he still has to use the three corpse brain pill to secretly control them.

For example, the practitioners of "Sunflower Treasure".

This technique is really too evil, Wu Yan doesn't want such a technique to spread out inexplicably, and then there will be thousands or even tens of thousands of perverts in the Ming Empire.

Therefore, those who practice the "Sunflower Canon" are under control, and they will not be released when they perform tasks. No, they are the ones who went as far away as the UK.

"Ah? This..."

Hua Tong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that what Wu Yan said was reasonable, and he confessed: "It's because I didn't think carefully enough, but our appearance is different from Juan Fu's and theirs. If we rashly arrange people, we will easily be caught by them." Finding anomalies or torture. But if it is a maid, the problem is not a big deal, even if Juanfu has a different intention, those under the minister have the strength to escape."

"Juan Fu may have a different heart in the future." Wu Yan said: "Don't look at him now as if he is willing to serve me, but in fact, once a dilemma arises, he may become my enemy."

The traitors exist, and the traitors must exist as well.

But for someone like Juan Fu who was born with a superior background and his family has mastered the secret of extraordinary power, the possibility of becoming a traitor is extremely low.

Hua Tong frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will go and torture him now, as long as the torture reveals the information His Majesty wants to know, the minister will end him."

Wu Yan shook his head and said: "Not for now, he really wants to be the link between me and his family, and the UK, to avoid war. So for a long time, even if I declared war on the UK, he would Will stand on my side. Only when I set foot in England, can he betray me."

Set foot in the UK?

Huatong was very excited when he heard these four words. He thought of the time when he heard Wu Yan say the word "Qingyunmen" a few years ago, and thought that Wu Yan might not be willing to be lonely. It turns out that he guessed at that time correct.

"Your Majesty, I will definitely go through fire and water to help Your Majesty unify the world in the true sense." Hua Tong knelt down to express his determination.

Domination of the world in the true sense?

Wu Yan also had some longing in his heart, but he still shook his head and said: "That's impossible, just like if there is no Ming Dynasty, Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries can't really destroy China if they want to fight against the Qing court. Times have changed."

In the Ming Dynasty, Wu Yan had the confidence to truly rule the world.

But times have changed.

Even if Wu Yan's Ming Empire has an invincible military power, it can't find its way around the world, and it's impossible to truly rule.

Because the wisdom of the people has been developed and the hearts of the people are scattered, rebellions must happen endlessly.

You can rule for a while, but you can't rule for a lifetime.

Huatong was a little surprised when he heard Wu Yan's words. He didn't expect that Wu Yan, who was always sure of winning, would sometimes say that he couldn't figure it out.

"However, domination of the world does not necessarily require real rule, and command can also achieve the same effect."

Wu Yan intends to make the Ming Empire the only leader on earth in terms of economy, technology, and military affairs. This is still achievable.

But there's no need to explain to Huatong, because Huatong doesn't understand.

Although in the past two years, in addition to practicing the Sunflower Book, Huatong has been learning scientific and technological knowledge and reading books, and is also one of Annie's main students.

"Because Juan Fu will not betray me for the time being, he will help me collect information about magicians." Wu Yan returned to the topic and said, "You don't have to think too much, just arrange two people normally. If you really don't If you don't worry...it is true that you can use 36 of 31 tricks on Juanfu, but only if you use this trick yourself, I will rest assured."

36 of 31?
After thinking for a while, Huatong's fair face turned red again, and after a little pondering, she said firmly, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely be able to handle the blessing."

Wu Yan nodded in satisfaction, but still said with concern: "That's right, it's important to be careful with these two words, Huatong, if you don't like it, don't let yourself suffer."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huatong blushed even more, and said, "If that scroll of fortune dares to betray His Majesty, I will definitely not show mercy, no matter when."

"Well, then, as the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences, communicate more with the magician consultants of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and first get as much information as possible about magic."

After Wu Yan waited for Huatong to leave, he finally couldn't help bursting out laughing.

"If one day Juan Fu really betrays me, then I will directly tell him that Huatong used to be a man, hahaha... One sentence can make Juan Fu commit suicide and ruin the reputation of Juan Fu's family... Hahaha..."

"Wait, will that make Hua Tong betray me too? Well...we still have to think carefully when the time comes."

Let Jumbo be a consultant, not just because Jumbo knows magic.

Before Juanfu got into the car, Wu Yan had already learned of Juanfu's identity from Annie. For Annie, it was really easy for Annie to remember the identities of all foreigners who came to the Ming Empire.

Juan Fu's family is very powerful in the UK. Wu Yan didn't know it was because of magic before, but now that he knows, he can't let it go.

Because he was away for two days, there was a backlog of government affairs that Wu Yan needed to deal with.

"It's time to form a cabinet."

When approving the memorial, Wu Yan felt that he should not be an annotation machine, so he recruited important officials such as Zeng Guofan.

In the past, the civil servants of the Ming Empire were limited to six ministers.

But with continuous development, like Huatong, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the focus of functions has gradually shifted to the Daming Academy of Sciences, and the functions of the Ministry of Industry are presided over by the left and right ministers.

And these two servants are candidates recommended by Zeng Guofan, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of War has also changed. Logically speaking, the Minister of the Ministry of War should command all the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty.

But from the beginning, Liu Lichuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, could only manage his people, that is, the former Xiaodao Society and Tiandi Society. The tasks of these people were only to patrol and defend the city.

However, Liu Lichuan at that time was still in charge of the logistics of the various armies of the Ming Dynasty, and when Shi Dakai, Zuo Zongtang, Gongsun Zan and others continued to accumulate military merits, the corresponding authority was also transferred by Wu Yan.

It's not that he doesn't trust Liu Lichuan, nor does he trust Shi Dakai and others too much, but because everything needs to be ordered by the Ministry of War, which will greatly reduce the efficiency of mobilizing troops.

Wu Yan was not afraid of rebellion, and no one in the Ming Empire could rebel against him, so he directly delegated power.

Zeng Guofan and others came very quickly.

"I want to reform."

When Wu Yan said this sentence, Zeng Guofan and others did not show any surprise, because they had heard this word too many times from Wu Yan in the past two years.

got used to it.

But when Wu Yan spoke up with the plan that Annie helped to formulate, Zeng Guofan and others were still shocked, because the restructuring this time was too big.

"First of all, the six departments will be reorganized, because the six departments are too bloated, with complicated functions and low efficiency."

"I want to set up a Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be responsible for diplomatic matters."

"The Ministry of Education is responsible for educating all the people, so that everyone in my Ming Dynasty can read and write."

"There are also the Ministry of the Army, the Ministry of National Taxation, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Industry. It will not be changed, but the corresponding rights involved will be transferred.”

"The second is to set up the cabinet. The current ministers of the seventeen ministries will all become members of the cabinet. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Zeng Guofan, you will be the prime minister. Qian Jiang, you will also be the minister of the Ministry of Taxation and Finance, and will be the deputy prime minister. Liu Lichuan, you Minister of the Army Department..."

"Finally, I know what you want to say. Now is not a good time to reform the system. The local administrative organization has not changed, and the reserve talents are not enough. Once the system is reformed, it will be completely messed up. However, I want you to complete the reform within ten years. Prepare to use Nanjing and Tokyo as trials, and after one and a half years, add Beijing and Guangzhou for trials."

It is impossible to reform the system as soon as it is said, and the departments mentioned by Wu Yan are not complete enough, and additional reforms will be added in the future. For example, the Ministry of Punishment is a key reform target.

There are also yamen such as the Inspectorate and Dali Temple, which also need drastic reforms.

But it cannot be changed easily now, there must always be a gradual process. .

Wu Yan decided to start now. After all, in the past two years, the Ming Empire, which occupied all the areas south of the Yangtze River, already had a basis for restructuring.

Zeng Guofan's emotions are very complicated.

Wu Yan said that at first, he felt that things were going to be messed up. As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he knew very well that the addition of so many departments would lead to competition for power and profit, and because of the sudden addition of new departments, there would be duplication of functions, and the people below could not figure it out. Know who to turn to for your situation.

Even if Wu Yan was in the Ming Empire, it is impossible to have so much time to take care of small things, so these troubles will definitely be attributed to him, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

But when Wu Yan said second, he felt overjoyed.

In the beginning, he joined Wu Yan because he knew that he could not win the No. [-] army at that time, and it also had a lot to do with the "constitutional monarchy" promised by Wu Yan.However, although he has been dreaming of being a prime minister for more than three years, he never thought that this day would come so soon.

Is it true that one person is under one person and above ten thousand people?

And when Wu Yan said the last word, Zeng Guofan was relieved and excited at the same time.

The reason for the relief is that Wu Yan gave him time to reform the system, and the reason for the excitement is that the capital is still under the control of the Qing court, and everything north of the Yangtze River is in the hands of the Qing court.

And one and a half years later, it will be restructured in the capital, doesn't it mean...

Because of Wu Yan's last words, the others temporarily forgot about the difficulty of restructuring, and they were very excited.

"Your Majesty, are you going north?"

Zeng Guofan asked with a trembling voice.

Wu Yan smiled and said: "One year later, Zhen Yujia will send his troops to the north, and the Qing court will definitely be destroyed within three months."

Three months to destroy the Qing court?
Even if the person who said this was the invincible Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, Zeng Guofan and others would not believe it at all, because the Qing court not only had millions of troops, but it was also very likely to receive support from Western countries.

Everyone knows that those countries are unwilling to see Huaxia being unified by the Ming Empire.

Although the Ming Empire was invincible against those countries, it used to have the advantage of the white horse sharp gun, and now foreigners also have the white horse sharp gun. How could it be so easy to win?
"Why, don't you believe me?"

Wu Yan asked with a smile. He said that for three months, he had considered that the western countries would join the war. In fact, even if the western countries wanted to wait and see for a while, he would use means to get the western countries to join the war.

Otherwise, if the Qing government surrendered every minute, it would also allow the Qing government to help deal with those staunch Defenders.

"I dare not wait." Zeng Guofan took the lead and said: "Your Majesty's literary and martial arts have never been seen before or since, and the Qing court is nothing to worry about."

The others also echoed the same.

This made Wu Yan couldn't help sighing, he wanted to make a bet but no one would cooperate with pretending to be aggressive.

Invincible, just so lonely.
