Domineering Daming

Not far away, Liu Shimin folded his hands and lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was asleep.

The affairs of the Qing Palace have always been kept secret, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out carefully.

Later generations study the history of Sun Chuanting's power, and the main source is Liu Shimin's "Zuo Zhong Zhi" written in his later years, which describes the meeting between the monarch and his ministers in this way.

"The court is tired of the new policy, and I asked the emperor for a few words. The emperor said yes, and the court said yes, so I will retreat. Great things will come true."

With only 21 short characters, no one can guess what they discussed.

But from this day on, Sun Chuanting's momentum was overwhelming, and the power of the chief assistant was the crown of the past and the present.

These are all later stories. Sun Chuanting left the palace and returned to the cabinet. The staff flew dozens of pigeons and rushed to all directions of Ming Dynasty.

This is for the governors of various places, and they are required to go to Beijing at the end of the year to hold an enlarged meeting every four years.

When this order went out, the whole country was shocked.

No matter who it is, it can be expected that Sun Shoufu, who is sitting on the throne of the chief minister and has a lot of power, will further promote the "New Deal".

Such a scene, many people dare not think about it.

Putting aside the local shock, the plan drawn up by Fu Tao was delivered to Zhu Xu's desk sooner or later.

Zhu Xu approved for three days, made overnight revisions, and added many methods.

After sending it to the Royal Bank, after some internal discussions, Fu Tao led a group of people into the palace.

Because they couldn't understand some things, they could only ask Zhu Xu face to face.

Zhu Xu discussed with these senior executives of the Royal Bank for several hours, and did not let them go until late at night.

Beginning the next day, Royal Bank moved.

The first step is to communicate with various departments such as the Royal Commercial Group and the Foreign Affairs Institute, and then report to the cabinet.

In the second part, Fu Tao personally entertained the envoys stationed in Beijing and the envoys of the vassal states, and proposed an ambitious grand plan.

The name of this plan is "Common Prosperity", which roughly means that Daming will use [-] million cash and [-] million banknotes to trade with friendly countries to exchange supplies, and Daming is mainly the main purchaser.

A total of [-] million silver, the eyes of these messengers were red when they heard it.

Not to mention the small coastal countries, even in countries like Spain and Ottomans, [-] million is definitely an astronomical figure.

No country's rulers or strata are not short of money, and they are clamoring and inquiring about the detailed plan with Fu Tao.

The Royal Bank, the Royal Commercial Group, and the Foreign Affairs Office conducted two months of negotiations with envoys and trade representatives from various countries in the capital and Shenlong Mansion.

Mainly food, fish, meat, and even live animals are all within the scope of trading. Whatever the Ming Dynasty needs, they vigorously buy it, and the price even rises to [-]%!

At the same time, these transactions are not without requirements. For example, maritime security agreements, merchant shipping agreements, and goods trade agreements are all under intense negotiation.When Daming purchased, there was naturally importation, and all goods were required to be transported by Daming ships, and Daming official silver or banknotes were used for transactions.

The conditions are not too harsh. Generally speaking, Ming Dynasty is quite "disadvantaged", so the reactions of various countries are quite strong. No matter how small their mouths are, they still want to take a bite out of this [-] million taels.

The Royal Commercial Group signed a three-year purchase agreement of 22 million shi grains with [-] countries and vassal states. The other purchase lists are even more complicated, with hundreds of items.

At the same time, the Royal Commercial Group also placed an order of [-] million silver to the country, which deeply stimulated the entire business class of Ming Dynasty.

With the launch of this huge plan, not only the domestic commodity economy has been activated, but also the development of commerce and trade with foreign countries has advanced by leaps and bounds. The Royal Commercial Group, the Royal Bank, the United Fleet, and countless merchant ships have begun to expand rapidly, appearing in every corner of the world. a corner.

Chapter 1452 Checking and Balancing Dorgon

The Ming court, inside and outside, the "New Deal" proceeded step by step amidst doubts and disturbances.

Although encountering such and other problems from time to time, under the helm of Sun Chuanting, we still move forward in an orderly manner. According to the established plan, we are moving more steadily.

Suihai Province, Edo.

Dorgon accompanied Zhang Guowei, walking in the new barracks outside Edo City, "chatting" while watching.

Dorgon glanced at the Japanese samurai who were training, and said calmly: "Zhang Shangshu, Zuo Liangyu led [-] recruits to suppress bandits in Tamba Fan, Huashan has been guarding Kyushu Island for a long time, Kuroda Tadayuki is in Guanmen Strait, Iraq Da Zhengzong went to the north, and the resistance in Suihai Province is still very fierce. At this stage, the main focus is on countering the rebellion..."

Zhang Guowei looked at these Japanese warriors. Their every move was weird. They wore weird Ming Dynasty military uniforms, used Ming Dynasty training methods weirdly, shouted weird passwords, and every move was weird.

Zhang Guowei was expressionless, and behind him were his bodyguards, each with a wide waist and a round body, with cold eyes, and they looked like veterans who had been in the army for a long time.

Seeing that he was silent, Dorgon looked as usual, and continued: "The Taizhengyuan, the General's Mansion is currently operating normally, and the local government has attracted more big Japanese families, and the control of the local area is further deepening. However, Date Masamune, Kuroda Tadayuki, and Huashan Jiushou hold heavy troops, like a feudal town, without restraint, which is worrying. In the Taizhengyuan, although I am the Taizheng Minister, Matsudaira Nobuzuna, De Chuan Mingxiu and others also have a lot of supporters, and many things are hindered. I hope the court can intervene, otherwise many things will be difficult to do..."

Zhang Guowei didn't look at him, and said indifferently: "The new barracks are too outrageous, the Ministry of War can't reach them, I will discuss with the commander's mansion, and hand over two of the new barracks to you."

Dorgon's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at Zhang Guowei seriously.

If the Ming Dynasty really did this, it would be tantamount to giving him the right to recruit troops independently, which means he can freely decide the number of his troops!

This is simply telling him directly that he, Dorgon, can become king on his own!

Dorgon knew very well that the current intricate structure of the Wa Kingdom was more to check and balance him, and he would not allow him to recruit troops wantonly and expand his influence in the Wa Kingdom.

But what did Zhang Guowei mean just now?

Dorgon was always calm, but at this moment, his heart was still pounding, and his breathing became fast and slow.

He has had enough of being used as a spearman by the Ming Dynasty, and has been trying to get rid of it. Although the Wa country is naturally inappropriate, he still wants to struggle, secretly gather strength, and wait for the opportunity.

Zhang Guowei turned the corner and continued: "Mainly the two on the home island, and the one on Kyushu Island will be taken over by the navy. The commander-in-chief requires you to undergo strict training in the general's residence. More than 10 people will be retired every year, and 50 will be retired within three years." Ten thousand well-trained recruits are available, and if necessary, the recruit battalion can add two to three more. Regarding armored weapons, etc., you draw up orders and order from the Royal Commercial Group, and the Ministry of War no longer restricts..."

Dorgon clearly heard that there was something in Zhang Guowei's words, and he wanted him to continue to be a thug.This weapon order is to exploit him again.

Dorgon's heart was like a mirror, but he didn't care at all, his face was even more normal, he bowed slightly and said: "Your officer obeys."

Zhang Guowei looked at Dorgon, who had always been neither humble nor overbearing, and suddenly became respectful, his eyes suddenly turned slightly cold, and his tone was indifferent: "The imperial court has given you power, so you have to work harder for the country. Stop fighting your little ones. Do you think the imperial court is really serious?" You are a blind man who really doesn't know anything about your actions in the Wa Kingdom? The secret letters of Matsudaira Nobuzuna, Tokugawa Akihide and others have long been placed on the Marshal's desk. The reason why you are not dealt with is to take care of the situation in the Wa Kingdom. If you refuse to change after repeated admonitions and continue to disobey the will of the imperial court, this official can kill you right now!"

As soon as Zhang Guowei's words fell, his more than 30 guards suddenly drew their knives, and surrounded Dorgon with a sudden murderous aura. As long as Zhang Guowei snorted again, Dorgon could be chopped into meat.

Not far away, Dorgon's soldiers were shocked and were about to rush over.

Zhang Guowei stared at Dorgon with undisguised killing intent in his eyes.

Dorgon raised his left hand slightly to stop the approaching soldiers, bowed again with a blank expression on his face, and said, "Your officer understands."

Zhang Guowei snorted coldly, turned his head and left.

His personal guards walked past Dorgon one by one, and the handle of the knife that had not been sheathed was cold.

Dorgon remained motionless, and bowed slightly, motioning to send Zhang Guowei off.

Zhang Guowei didn't take many steps, and the staff around him followed up and said in a low voice: "My lord, this Dorgon can't be kept!"

Zhang Guowei also noticed it, with a cold expression on his face, and said: "This man, Gu Yuanshi, is definitely not a good person! Now is not the time to deal with him, go, call Matsudaira Nobuzuna, Tokugawa Akihide and others to see me. "
