After seeing that the Ming Dynasty did not take any further action, the British, who were eager to move forward, once again captured and blew up the Humen Ya Niang Shoe fort and burned a large sailing ship.

The despicable and shameless English completely angered Xiong Wencan. Xiong Wencan mobilized his troops and prepared to annihilate this group of blond and blue-eyed (yellow fur and green eyes) beasts and barbarians.

The British, who were roaming the world and were about to defeat the Spanish Armada, were frightened after receiving the news.

They admit it.

Under the pressure of the Portuguese, Xiong Wencan accepted the British compensation of 2800 taels of silver on behalf of the Ming Dynasty.

He demanded a public apology from the English and a signed bond.

The English had no choice but to do as they were told, and then left the Ming Dynasty in despair!

As for the amount of compensation secretly given to the official figures - given the poor nature of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, the court could get 2800 taels in compensation. How could the officials give up easily if they didn't get ten times more?

(What a bit of irony!

The more I study history, the more I look down on the braided dynasty, what a doggy bastard thing, and there are still a group of people kneeling down and licking it!

A really special girl doesn’t mind someone’s buttocks sticking to her teeth! )

Later, Xiong Wencan was promoted to Minister of War by Chongzhen a year later because of his meritorious service in guarding Guangdong and Guangxi. He was in charge of the military affairs of six provinces and presided over the overall situation of encircling and suppressing the peasant army...

Fan Jingwen sighed leisurely.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, because the government is full of power, there are no ministers who can do human affairs.

As long as they are ministers who can restore peace to the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether they are civilized or martial, who is the mother-in-law who has not been assassinated?

Xiong Wencan...

Followed in the footsteps again.

Xiong Wencan, who was short of food, failed to suppress...

Although he and Wei Zhongxian have different positions, it has to be said that Wei Zhongxian's move to destroy Donglin Academy was really satisfying!

Fan Jingwen raised his head and glanced at the emperor. Seeing the amusement on his face, he quickly lowered his head.

The Lord in front of me is also a ruthless person.

When he knew that he had been deceived, he immediately issued an edict to rehabilitate Wei Zhongxian, and even reburied Wei Zhongxian's bones with generous gifts.

however……

Out of helplessness, the emperor had no choice but to pinch his nose and recognize the powerful Donglin Party members, who infiltrated into officials all over the country.

However, the emperor never vindicated Yuan who single-handedly pushed the country's affairs into the abyss despite the pressure from the government and the opposition!

Ling Chi was executed instead of rehabilitated, which already speaks volumes about the emperor’s thoughts!

How can these emperors of the Zhu family be fools?

Not to mention the emperors who received the education of orthodox princes, even the four emperors who succeeded to the throne as vassals...

There are ruthless people like Chengzu Emperor Yongle, forbearing people like Emperor Shizong Jiajing, and emperors like Emperor Jingtai who help in times of crisis.

Even the emperor in front of him, who succeeded to the throne as a vassal again, is not easy!

……

Fan Jingwen's thoughts were swirling in his mind, but Zhu Youjian said:

"Nowadays, local governments are bringing things into line, and it is not the time to use troops abroad."

Now, having just accepted the land of Hubei, it is the time when the new Ming Dynasty is working hard to digest it and turn it into war potential.

It is time for us to accumulate strength for the future. "

Zhu Youjian said in a deep voice:

“The matter of building the palace will be postponed for the time being.

As I told you earlier, you have to pay attention to the construction of the Han Family Zhongzhen Temple and the erection of sacrifices to the sages of the past dynasties. "

Fan Jingwen nodded.

He understands the emperor’s thoughts!

Even though His Majesty has recaptured Hubei, he can even mobilize Hunan. However, among the forces in the world, he is only a little stronger than Zhang Xianzhong.

The time is right for things that unite people's hearts!

"and also!"

Zhu Youjian took a deep breath: "Although Xiong Wencan failed to suppress the situation and the overall situation of the imperial court failed, however, this person also had meritorious service. There should be a statue of this person in the Loyalty Temple."

Fan Jingwen was overjoyed.

The emperor specially summoned him to the wine shop to discuss this matter, which was enough to prove the emperor's intentions.

Rehabilitating Xiong Wencan is a big deal!

Moreover, the emperor just now deliberately asked Xiong Wencan about his resistance to the British, and then mentioned Xiong Wencan's meritorious service - doesn't this represent the emperor's true thoughts?

I am Daming...

In Fan Jingwen's mind, an inexplicable sentence popped up--Behead all the six barbarians inside and outside who dare to use the weapon as a weapon!

This is the domineering declaration of Emperor Ran Wei!

……

Zuimanlou served the food very quickly, and within just a few moments of chatting, the waiters were already rushing over. They were not surprised to see Liu Tichun and his people guarding the entire second floor.

Many businessmen will deliberately clear their surroundings when talking.

The servants left after serving the food, without even thinking of staying to eavesdrop.

There are rules in Zuimanlou, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, and don’t listen to what you shouldn’t hear!

As for eavesdropping, for Jin Yiwei, that is the lowest level thing. By burying copper pipes in the box in advance, you can hear all the news without anyone noticing.

……

At the dinner table, Zhu Youjian and Fan Jingwen were chatting.

Zhu Youjian really didn't care about the quality of the palace.

No matter how well-built the palaces of this era are, will they be comfortable for future generations?

For him, his greatest pursuit is to prevent China from sinking in the next 400 years and remain at the top of the nation.

However, the palace is the face of the Ming Dynasty after all, and Zhu Youjian plans to choose a suitable area and build an epoch-making palace.

At the same time, in order to prevent future generations from being unfilial, it is also to prevent changes in future generations.

Zhu Youjian wondered - the location of this palace must be cautious and cautious.

After three rounds of drinking, when the youngest daughter Zhu Yini had eaten her fill and was sitting with her sister by the window to watch the scenery, Fan Jingwen said:

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, the clan has ordered His Majesty the Prince of Tang to send letters several times, saying that he wanted to dedicate the Palace of the Prince of Tang. He said that it occupies a large area and can be used as a hunting place for His Majesty."

Fan Jingwen said it very vaguely, but in fact Zhu Yujian wanted to dedicate his Tang Palace to the emperor as a palace.

"Nanyang..."

Zhu Youjian shook his head:

"Nanyang is surrounded by plains and is not suitable for a capital city."

Although Nanyang is one of the five largest capitals in the world, it has been plagued by bandits for more than ten years and has become sparsely populated. Even though countless refugees have settled nearby,...

There is no dangerous terrain in Nanyang. This was eliminated by Zhu Youjian first.

He intends to promote the development of science and technology. The plain terrain of Nanyang...

Not the best choice!

Fan Jingwen said:

"Your Majesty, I have discussed with all the ministers privately. We believe that in addition to Nanyang, there are also Xiangyang and Gucheng that can be used as capitals.

As for Jingzhou, Wuchang, Yunyang and other places, each has its own shortcomings and is not as good as these two places. "

"Xiangyang is located between Dahong Mountain and Jing Mountain, between the two mountains, backed by the Nanyang Plain, and not far to the south is the Jianghan Plain. Therefore, as a capital, it is indeed more suitable than Nanyang.

As for Gucheng, it is surrounded by water on one side and mountains on three sides, which is conducive to defense.

His Majesty also set up Ordnance Bureau workshops on the three islands of Wangfuzhou. Over time, a new prosperous commercial place will inevitably be formed, and this place is also very suitable as a capital. "

Fan Jingwen reported the places carefully selected by the courtiers one by one and explained the reasons.
