After receiving the report from Kang Qingchun, Zhu Youxiao laughed.

He naturally remembered the impact that England had brought to China in history.

And this life.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to treat others with his own way.

The Ming Dynasty did not really like the small benefits brought by smuggling Wuxiang from England.

Even the entire English commodity market.

The Ming Dynasty didn't even look at it.

But since we want to unify the world, Zhu Youxiao naturally cannot allow any local forces to go against the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youxiao gave the imperial soldiers more opportunities to make meritorious contributions.

"The majesty of the empire cannot be violated. Since the British ignorant of politeness and double standards, they strictly prohibit smoking in their own country, but they do not prohibit or even encourage the smuggling of opium into our Ming Dynasty, it needs to be dealt with."

After Zhu Youxiao said this to his assistants, he asked Zhang Tongchang, who was in charge of the Privy Council, and asked: "How is the British-Architective Army transferred to the Netherlands currently going on? When can a war against Britain be organized as soon as possible?"

Zhang Tongchang replied: "Five steam warships have been transferred! About 20,000 officers and soldiers from the sea and land, Liu Zhaoji, the general in charge of the conquest of Ying, has arrived in St. Petersburg and is probably already in the Netherlands."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Tell Liu Zhaoji that the King of the British, Charles II must be captured! I have to deal with it strictly, but I dared to smuggle Wuxiang to the Ming Dynasty! I will not be severely punished, I am sorry for those compatriots who were harmed by their British,!"

"Charles II has been keen on accepting Confucianism over the years, and almost all the power was handed over to their parliament, so he did not carry out reforms like Louis XIV, so he lost many colonies in the Americas, and the situation in the country has not improved much. The land enclosure movement is still serious, and the number of landless farmers is increasing. Now it is the first time he has spared Congress and directly promulgated the bill."

Lu Xiangsheng started talking at this time.

Wen Tiren followed and said, "If we say so, if our army defeats him, England and forces him to be taken back to the country to be sentenced to death, then the king behind will be afraid that Charles II would end up like this because he bypassed the parliament once, and he would not dare to bypass the parliament again and act arbitrarily."

"This forced him to be more like a puppet, but it also followed the idea that some British liberals wanted to limit the monarchy."

Zhu Youxiao also said with a smile.

Wen Tiren closed his face at this time and said, "But Your Majesty, when it comes to liberals, I think of a problem. We must pay attention to the problem of many scholars and officials in China who want to restrict the power of the monarchs and defect to these places. As far as I know, the person who is spreading Confucianism to Charles II is a Han man named Xu Qianxue."

"There is nothing to pay attention to. It is good that they can go out to spread Confucianism for me, the Ming Dynasty. I hope they can turn the foreign monarchs who have not been annexed by my Ming Dynasty into benevolent monarchs who have been self-employed. In this way, it will be easier for our Ming Dynasty to completely unify the world."

Zhu Youxiao replied.

...

"This time I have to bypass the parliament. Wu Xiang's harm is obvious. I believe that the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao also knew Wu Xiang's harm, so he drew his most powerful army to investigate the matter."

Charles II took the initiative to explain to Xu Qianxue why he spared Congress and directly promulgated the bill. As a king, he naturally did not need to explain to Xu Qianxue. The reason why he did this was because he did not like doing this in his heart, so he took the initiative to explain these to Xu Qianxue.

Xu Qianxue naturally understood it, and he could also realize that Charles II was really willing to be a monarch as required by Confucianism.

Therefore, Xu Qianxue respected Charles II more in his heart, and comforted Charles II: "Your Majesty, don't be too concerned. My son-in-law understands this matter! My son-in-law also knows that you really want to be a wise ruler who is good and has unparalleled benevolence. But he has no choice but to be a wise ruler. In addition, the traitors in the court have caused good deeds, so good governance has to be promulgated according to the king's order! But my son-in-law believes that as long as your Majesty is close to the wise ministers and stays away from the treacherous and slanderous, the country's government will eventually be renewed without the current situation!"

After hearing this, Charles II couldn't help but ask: "How can we see who is a wise minister and who is a treacherous?"

"Nature is a person who is capable of being a gentleman in virtue, and can be a wise minister."

Xu Qianxue replied.

Charles II nodded.

Xu Qianxue now really feels that Charles II is his ideal king.

Because, in his opinion, it is really rare to be a king who is upset by making decisions alone. He has never seen the Emperor of the Apocalypse of the Ming Kingdom blame himself for making decisions alone.

Based on this alone, Xu Qianxue felt that Charles II was more worthy of his loyalty than Emperor Apocalypse.

When he thought of himself as he could freely merge the fields in England, enclose the public fields into his own fields, and then drove away the farmers, forcing them to become their own serfs, or workers in his own factories. Even if he arrears taxes, there would be no harsh urges for taxation like Xichang. Xu Qianxue felt even more that this place was really free and beautiful.

Xu Qianxue has already had many friends who are also nobles here.

His gentle and humble character, which he had developed from years of studying Confucianism, made him very popular with British gentlemen.

Therefore, not only King Charles II, but many British nobles were also influenced by the Confucian Neo-Confucian culture brought by Xu Qianxue. When they began to practice elegance, they considered themselves humble gentlemen to be models of morality.

What's more, in history, Xu Qianxue was good at speculation and socializing, and became friends with many of the nobles of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty who entered the pass, and became the best friend of the pearl and became the Minister of Justice. Even Kangxi himself was extremely kind to him. Even if there was clear evidence that he was killed by money, he was only ordered to retire and return home and enjoy the treatment of a senior official.

Therefore, Xu Qianxue is now also good at forming cliques in the UK.

Under his influence, the British gentry was ten times worse than before, and he also developed various means of avoiding and evading taxes.

After all, Xu Qianxue brought the Chinese scholars and officials who had accumulated over thousands of years of hard work and establishment.

The Anglo-Saxons, who had just entered the monarchical era from their original state, did not have much experience in being both obedient and established. Naturally, after learning something from Xu Qianxue, they were naturally shocked.

But as a result, England's national strength is declining. Although it relies on its central area from the Atlantic trade line and has a lot of trade income, most of the income has entered the private treasury of the great English nobles and turned into capital for annexing land and raising slaves. Therefore, England's treasury income is becoming increasingly insufficient.

Even the navy's military expenditure was gradually insufficient, and in the end, it could only allocate half of it.

Against this background, the Ming army had begun to cross the North Sea between England and the Netherlands and come to England.
