January 2016 will be the end of "The Talented World". Luo Luo's new book is already being prepared, and I hope it can be uploaded in early March. In this new book, Luo Luo will write back the story of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and will be as fun and interesting as possible. Of course, we must continue to open our brains and look forward to everyone's support. Luo Luo Luo is here to go
Now it is February of the eighth year of Daming Tiandao. According to the Western calendar, it is March of 1272. Time flies so fast that people just skipped away without catching anything.
Many things have happened here in the Ming Dynasty these days. The most worth mentioning is that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty issued an order to approve the establishment of three autonomous cities in Beimingzhou: Xinxianyang, Xinyingdu and Xinjinyang. Xinxianyang is the original Mingmen Port, which is almost the location of Vancouver in history; Xinyingdu is in the south of Mingmen Bay, about 400 miles away from Xinxianyang, which is about the location of Seattle in the later generations; Xinjinyang is the original Jinshan City.
After Chen Dexing formally approved the implementation of autonomy of the three cities, the immigration groups organized by the Urban Construction Public Bank and the Temporary City Council of the Three Cities also set out in the second half of the seventh year of Daming Tiandao. Most of the members of the immigration groups were sent by the wealthy merchants from Jiangdu, Mingdu and Tanggu to fight against the managers, men, coolies and bodyguards at the front station. Of course, everyone brought guns.
The three Mingzhou autonomous cities they went to were named "Xin" with the capital of the ancient Chinese Kingdom, which naturally had meaning. Chen Dexing would use the name of the ancient Chinese Kingdom to name the sixteen northern Ming Kingdoms. The country with Xin Xianyang as its capital will be "Qin". The capital with Xin Yingdu is "Chu", and the capital with Xin Jinyang as its capital is "Jin".
The three kings of "Qin", "Chu" and "Jin" have not yet been officially established. However, the kings have already arranged, namely Duke Chen Changkong, Duke Chen Changsheng and Duke Jin Changhong. The three are the sons of Li Cuixian, Mo Yingniang and Baoyin.
In this way, the enfeoffment was actually the meaning of the queen Li Cuixian. Originally, Chen Dexing wanted to grant the title according to the age of the sons, the older ones first, and the younger ones later. However, Li Cuixian asked the two sons, the fifth and sixth ones, to "give courtesy" and gave the future Jin State to Baoyin's son, Chen Dexing's seventh son Chen Changhong. The purpose of this polite courtesy was naturally to consolidate the "harem alliance" between Li Cuixian, Baoyin and Mo Yingniang.
In this regard, Chen Dexing naturally expressed his support. He had been an emperor for so many years, so he naturally knew that there was a palace fight in the harem. And to make the struggle in the harem within a ease and controllable range is nothing more than to support a virtuous queen.
Although Li Cuixian is quite scheming, she has a lot of skills and does not tolerate other women and will not make trouble. Moreover, her belly and body are strong, and she is still playing the role of "glorious mother" in her thirties. In the winter of the sixth year of Tiandao, she gave Chen Dexing a daughter, and in the autumn of the seventh year of Tiandao, she became pregnant again.
Just because of the enthusiasm to give birth to a child, the status of the leader of the harem is already firm. The boss of the harem has a solid position and can convince the public (so who can give birth to a child can not be convinced?), and the surface harmony of the harem can naturally be maintained.
This principle is actually the same as establishing a prince. As long as the prince’s status is solid, the brothers below will naturally be at peace.
Chen Dexing's eldest son Chen Changan was born and named the prince. As soon as Chen Dexing became emperor, he was appointed as the prince. This prince is now twelve years old. He just graduated from the Mongolian College of Imperial City Academy last year and graduated from elementary school!
Unlike the previous princes who received "imperial education" in the palace, Chen Dexing's prince received school education. Although this school was run in the north and south Daming palaces.
At present, the third-level education system of primary schools, middle schools and universities in the Ming Dynasty has begun to take shape. This education system is of course referenced to modern education in later generations, but the days of school and holidays are different from those in later generations. Each grade starts from February to December. There are two holidays every year, in January and July, respectively. It coincides with Chen Dexing's days when he goes north to Beijing and south to Jiangdu.
After Chen Dexing went north to Beijing this time, Prince Chen Changan was admitted to middle school with quite excellent grades.
At the same time, the matter of searching for the "Trial Master" and "Shaoshi" who taught the imperial learning to Prince Chen Changkong was also put on the agenda. Naturally, there was a lot of competition from all sides. The Cabinet Office and the Fourth Army Department all proposed several candidates for the Youngshi, and the Queen Li Cuixian recommended his grandfather Wang Wentong as the Grand Tutor.
However, Chen Dexing had not made up his mind in the end, so there was no hurry to do this anyway. The crown prince was only twelve years old after all.
Now for Chen Dexing, the most urgent thing is to visit Xiaoxi!
One of the problems in India is Zhu Sijiu, and the other is the Battle of Europa. They are all difficult to deal with, and Chen Dexing must go there in person!
The footsteps sounded softly outside the Zichen Palace study. Chen Dexing looked up and saw Hu Tulun carefully pushing the door in. This little girl has now completely integrated into Chen Dexing's court and has become a follower of Chen Da Saint. She follows him everywhere, and serves as the memorials and documents compiled by the little secretary secretariat, and will be sent by her.
"Sage, this is what the Secretariat sent." The tall girl in Taoist robe entered the house with a large stack of memorials and placed the memorials on the table in front of Chen Dexing, and then saluted respectfully.
Chen Dexing was looking through a report, which was sent by the General General of the Western Expedition Army, Monk Liu, and reported the series of great victory achieved by the Western Expedition Army... Zhu Sijiu made great contributions! The Khanate of Benge Timuer had been destroyed, and Benge Timuer himself surrendered with a coffin! And the Khan of the Golden Horde Abaha was also defeated near Huwen, and most of the 120,000 army was lost. The captives captured by the Western Army alone exceeded 40,000!
Such great achievements are not able to hide them in the country where the news is quite free, and there is no reason to hide them... No matter what Zhu Sijiu is, the 100,000 soldiers he commanded have made great contributions to the country. If there is no reward for any contribution, who will be willing to go on an expedition for the country thousands of miles away?
"Saint." Hu Tulun did not leave immediately. After giving the gift, he stepped forward and took out a copy of the documents she sent. He handed them to Chen Dexing with both hands. "The secretariat of Wang Da's secretariat confessed that this copy from the Atlantic Governor's Office was very important!"
"Oh?" Chen Dexing took the covered note from Hu Tulun and found that there was a folded letter paper inside. He took out the letter paper first and saw that it was not written by the cover, but by Liu Xiaoyuan, who had already become the Mongolian official!
The letter was written in the tone of the Mongolian official, and the content was to persuade Chen Dexing to allow the Mongols to establish a rule in Europe. The reason is also very simple, because the rule of the Mongols in Europe was completely in line with the interests of the "Oriental Yellow Race"!
The Mongols are cutting off the cultural heritage of the Europa in their own ruling areas, destroying their writings, exterminate their elites, and thoroughly implementing the policy of fooling the people. If the Mongols can establish rule throughout Europe, it will take less than a hundred years. The Europa will forget the meeting of Rome and Greece, and the brilliant civilization they once had.
"What happened?" Chen Dexing murmured in a low voice, and a very bizarre scene appeared in his mind. Countless white-skinned men walked on the streets of Paris and London with big braids...
It seems that it is not bad if you really have such a future! Chen Dexing thought, but this matter cannot be heard only by Liu Xiaoyuan's one-sided words. It seems that this trip west will have to go a little further, at least to the Mediterranean coast.
Only when you get close can you see clearly!
...
"Sage, do you still want to go to the Mediterranean? How much time does it take to go?"
When Queen Li Cuixian heard that Chen Dexing was planning to travel to the Mediterranean, she showed a reluctant expression. Everyone in the palace could follow her. Only her, the queen, had to stay in the back.
Chen Dexing was afraid that he would not be able to come back in two years. He would not see her husband for two years, which made Li Cuixian, who was erect and had a big belly frown.
Chen Dexing just stroked his wife's belly docilely and said with a smile: "I have given birth to eight of them in a row. Xian'er, you should have been raising them for two years. Wait until I come back to the Western Tour. Can we continue to have a baby?"
Li Cuixian pouted slightly, "Sage. Are you treating your slave family as a sow?"
"Sow?" Chen Dexing laughed, "There are only eight sows in one child. You are far from the same distance." As he said that, his face suddenly became stern, "But Xian'er, these eight babies are not enough. Your body is so strong. Why do you have to give birth to eight more for me, right?"
Eight more...that's sixteen dolls! This really treats Li Cuixian as a sow. However, Li Cuixian is a traditional woman after all, so naturally she will not resist having more children.
It's always a good thing to be able to give birth and raise, right?
Moreover, having to keep having children means that Chen Dexing has to continue to have sex with her... If he has eight more people, he will take twelve or thirteen years to get through, and she will be in her forties by then. If she can really be favored by that time, what else can he be dissatisfied with?
"Well, I will follow the order!" Li Cuixian stood up with her big belly and was inconvenient to get up, so she solemnly punched Chen Dexing.
Chen Dexing nodded with a smile, "Okay! Just a word is determined! Xian'er, when you give birth to this baby, I will go west. The matters in the middle of the country depend on you."
If you want to have a peace of mind for the Western Tour, the country must be arranged. For Chen Dexing, it is actually just to appease Li Cuixian and let her loyally guard her.
"Sage," Li Cuixian's beautiful eyebrows frowned again, "This trip to the West is long and everything is complicated, so you must be more careful."
This worry is true. Although Chen Dexing had an accident, she was the empress dowager who ruled from behind the curtain. However, Chen Dexing and Li Cuixian were model couples in the family of Chinese emperors in the past dynasties. You can tell by looking at the number of their love crystals.
"Don't worry about me, I'm not alone." Chen Dexing waved his hand with a smile.
This time Chen Dexing said he was going to the "Western Tour", but in fact it was similar to the Western Expedition. The main forces of the Navy Beiyang Fleet and the Nanyang Fleet must have escorted all the way. The army will dispatch guard infantry divisions (mudstorm divisions) and army model divisions to protect the harness. Both divisions are organized by two brigades and four regiments, and are also equipped with one regiment of artillery, labour, baggage, and cavalry. The number is as large as 36,700 (total of the two divisions). The organization is very close to the modern army in later generations. Moreover, the equipment has reached an epoch-making level. Not only the infantry has a full firearm configuration, but even the light cavalry are equipped with smoothbore guns with short barrels.
In addition, the army led by Lu Hu had already set off a few months ago. It was almost time to go to the Xindu River Basin. According to the plan of the Ming Army General Staff, General Lu's first stop was the Song Kingdom in the Xindu River Basin. He first helped Li Tingzhi defeat the warlords of the Tianfang Sect who were still fighting stubbornly, and then expedition to Persia in the west.
Li Cuixian nodded. She actually knew that Chen Dexing had enough safety guarantees for this trip. She thought about it and asked again: "How does the saint want to arrange the matters in India? Can you enthrone a few more vassal states in India?"
The first stop of Chen Dexing's journey south was of course the purpose of arranging the ban on Tianzhu's country was not to be a peacemaker for Chen Huaiqing and Chen Defang's father and son. Instead, he wanted to arrange the future of Tianzhu well.
"The country must have a few more!" Chen Dexing thought, "This Tianzhu was not intended to be shared by the eight countries. Now it is the British vassal dominant. How can I not entrust more? This time Yu Xing, Wang Dechen and Dong Wenmo have to go with him. It is time for the three families to arrange it, so it is better to entrust them in Tianzhu."
These three countries must be arranged in South India and Ceylon Island Chen Dexing is not considered to be directly under Ceylon, but they will directly control the Port of Colombo. This will compress the space for Britain to move south.
"In addition, we must set a 'responsible' rule for the Indian countries." Chen Dexing said again, "The provisions of the Chen Li are the system of inheritance of the eldest son, and the old man's enfeoffment is a bit bad. If the enfeoffment of meritorious ministers is in accordance with the rules, but what are the contributions of my brothers? It is indeed a bit too much for the enfeoffment of twenty countries."
Li Cuixian nodded, thinking. She knew that Tianzhu did not apply to "Chen Li" because Tianzhu was not included in the Chinese countries. However, Chen Dexing wanted to use "Chen Li" to interfere in the internal affairs of the Tianzhu countries. Is this a bit of a ritual collapse and music...
"So what should Sijiu do?" Li Cuixian asked tentatively. This matter was almost a taboo in the Ming Dynasty court, and no one wanted to say much. However, Li Cuixian must know what he knows now.
"Sijiu has made merits!" Chen Dexing also frowned. This matter was very difficult to deal with. "Sijiu destroyed Brother Meng, destroyed the Ili Khanate, and opened up tens of thousands of miles of the Western Regions. This contribution, even Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, were not enough... Such a great hero must be treated in accordance with the "Rites"!"
The "Chen Li" is not only a means of Chen Dexing's restraint of the world, but also a rope that binds his hands and feet. If he throws "Chen Li" aside, he can completely order the spies in the Western Army to assassinate Zhu Sijiu.
