"Pa bang bang..."

After three blasts of the whip, the nine halls of the Supervisory Palace in Guangzhou City finally called for the Great Court Meeting again after many days!

Although the new Ming Dynasty in Guangzhou does not have an emperor yet, it has already established a dynasty system. However, the dynasty system of the new Ming Dynasty is not as troublesome as the dynasty system of the previous Ming Dynasty... There is no need to get up early in the morning to go to court.

, and there are no rules for the imperial family to listen to government affairs. Under normal circumstances, it is just a "small meeting" in the Jiujian Hall, where a few former Confucian scholars and senior officials from the Six Ministries and Jiuqing gather together.

Only on some special days, such as the first and fifteenth day of each month, or when there are important events to be announced, will the "Imperial Gate Dynasty" be held, allowing all civil and military officials from the seventh rank and above in Guangzhou to come

In the large courtyard outside the Jiujian Hall, people were arranged neatly according to their official positions. They were listening to Zhu Heji, Zhu Cijiong, and several bachelors or senior officials talking.

Generally speaking, people give speeches or lectures, and rarely discuss political affairs in public - this is because politics in the late Ming Dynasty were often discussed without making a decision. There were many people talking about it, but when it was time to make a decision, everyone wanted to

To shirk responsibility.

And there are always more people who raise objections than people who propose solutions...

Therefore, the new Ming Dynasty, which had learned its lesson, although it had the principle of academicians deliberation, was actually quite centralized when it came to specific problems.

Today, this quite centralized court is about to officially change its owner - although the edict for Zhu Heji to be the supervisor of the country has been issued long ago. But because he and King Zhu Tian have been on the front line in Jiangxi and unable to return to Guangzhou to preside over the court meeting, Zhu

Heji never accepted the worship of ministers in the name of supervising the country.

One of the reasons why he rushed back to Guangzhou this time was to officially take over the position of supervising the country...thus becoming the well-deserved monarch of the new Ming Dynasty.

In order to congratulate Zhu Heji for taking over as the governor of the country, nine of the eleven former Confucian scholars have arrived today, and two of the three governors (Qiu Hui of Guangxi, Zhuge Sanhe of Liangjiang, and Zheng Jing of Fujian) have arrived.

Several chambers of commerce in Guangfu, Chaozhou, and southern Fujian, as well as representatives from the Foreign Chamber of Commerce in Macau, as well as heads and heads from Haizhu University, Huangpu Military Academy, Guangfu No. 123 College, and the two major academies in Chaozhou, were all included.

All here.

People from all walks of life gathered together, waiting for Zhu Da Jianguo to appear!

"The Saint of Supervising the Country has arrived!" With the shout of Yan Yuan, Zhu Heji's "eldest disciple" (he was actually not the first to start, but he was the oldest), all the heads of the new Ming Dynasty all shouted.

Long live my thanks. Then I heard the sound of footsteps, followed by Zhu Heji’s voice that couldn’t hide his smile: “Pingshen, Pingshen!”

Everyone got up quickly and looked up at Zhu Dajianguo. They saw Zhu Heji in a yellow robe, a yellow scarf on his head, a long sword hanging, and an "empty hammer", sitting on the throne - Zhu Heji's "original Confucian court"

"Although we are quite rich now, we cannot forget the spirit of hardship and simplicity! Therefore, gorgeous official uniforms are not popular. Everyone still wears "Confucius uniforms", and swords and grenade hammers cannot be lost. However, they are not allowed to bring them when going to court."

"Real hammer" to avoid "accidents", and only "empty hammer" can be carried.

Seeing that all the ministers had climbed up and taken their seats, Zhu Heji smiled and said, "I invite you all to come here today for three important things.

The first thing was naturally that Gujia took up the post of supervisor of the country. Gujia's father did not want to be disturbed by worldly affairs and wanted to devote himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of revenge and restoration of the country, so he gave up the position of supervisor of the country to Gujia.

The second major event is about the Northern Expedition. Now the army led by Prime Minister Zhuge has reached Anqing and is currently besieging Anqing. However, the city of Anqing is relatively strong and it is difficult to leave. Therefore, the Gu family returned to Guangzhou and prepared to gather another army.

Go to Fujian, Zhejiang and go north to Nanjing... If you don’t break Nanjing, you will never follow the army!"

return after victory?

What does it mean?

After destroying Nanjing, shouldn’t we return the capital? How can we return it to Guangzhou?

The ministers below were all stunned and looked up at Zhu Da Jianguo, a little confused.

Zhu Heji continued: "The third major event is to upgrade Guangzhou Prefecture to Chengtian Prefecture...and make it the Ming Dynasty Haijing!"

What does Haijing mean?

"Sage," someone asked immediately, "do you mean to list Guangzhou Prefecture and Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture as two capitals of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Exactly!" Zhu Heji gave an affirmative answer.

There was a soft uproar below.

Guangzhou becoming the capital is a bit beyond everyone's imagination... although Guangzhou is now the capital of the new Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Heji smiled and asked, "Why can't Guangzhou be the capital?"

He went on to say: "How wonderful Guangzhou is. It is a city in the south, with prosperous industry and commerce, abundant products, and a warm climate... and there are also Haizhu University, Huangpu Military Academy, and Guangfu No. 123 College, all of which are...

He is a talented person and even speaks with a nice accent. Isn’t it a good place to build a capital?"

Zhu Heji really likes Guangzhou and doesn't want to go to Nanjing at all, let alone the extremely cold city of Beijing... It's the Little Ice Age now, and there is no air conditioning. How cold is Beijing in winter?

"Jian Guo," another person said, "Guangzhou's location is too remote and is not suitable for the residence of the emperor."

"Is it biased?" Zhu Heji said with a smile, "Is that your preference? Although Guangzhou is in the south of the world, isn't Beijing also in the north of the world? Nanjing is actually in the east of the world, and Xi'an is in the west.

....And this world is actually not comprehensive. It only includes our Chinese land, and does not include the grasslands, the Western Regions, the East, and Nanyang. This is not the world in the minds of an isolated family. The world in the mind of an isolated family, at least because it includes the countries of Nanyang.

, Eastern Japan, Haidong Korea, Mongolian grasslands, the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties in the Western Regions.

And Nanyang is vast, the countries are rich, and it is the hub of trade with the West. Its importance is even higher than that of the East, Mongolia, and the Western Regions... Shouldn't a capital be established in Guangzhou to develop and control Nanyang?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If Zhu Heji's views were to be put aside in the future, there would be no market for it, and there would definitely not be anyone on Kangxi's side who would agree with it.

But the three pillars of the Guangzhou imperial court were the Chaozhou Gang, the Guangzhou Gang, and the Minnan Gang... They were all "southern-going factions," especially the Chaozhou and Minnan people, who had always been the main force of Chinese going to Southeast Asia.

Of course they support Ming’s desire to control Nanyang!

"The Saint who supervises the country," Chen Yonghua, who was a former Confucian scholar, came out and said, "I agree with the expansion of Southeast Asia. In the past, when King Yanping Wu was in power, he wanted to expedition to Luzon, but the weather did not stop, and the great cause was

It has not yet been accomplished. But now that the Northern Expedition is imminent...if we peek into Nanyang too early, we may push all the Western Yi people in Nanyang to the side of the Qing Yao."

Zheng Jing, King of Yanping, also said: "Sage who oversees the country, recently there have been many Western warships in Ningbo and Dinghai areas hired by Fan Chengmo, governor of Qingyao Zhejiang, which may hinder our Northern Expedition. I have been negotiating with them for many days, but we have not yet

There are results. If the imperial court openly peeks at Nanyang again, I'm afraid..."

Zheng Jing was talking about the warships of the Dutch and Spanish. There were about twenty or thirty large and small warships, which were currently operating along the coast of Zhejiang and the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Of course, they did not participate in this war in the name of the East India Company or the Spanish Governor-General of the Philippines, but were hired by the Qing government in the name of free merchant ships to act as maritime mercenaries... This way they can

It can avoid completely breaking up with the new Ming Dynasty and curb the rise of the new Ming Dynasty by helping the Qing court fight.

The reason why the Dutch and Spanish took such a stance was of course related to the "Meeting at Prince Teng's Pavilion" - Zhu Heji made no secret of his intentions for Nanyang, which naturally caused a backlash from the Dutch and Spanish.

So now they have joined forces and colluded with the Qing court to oppose the new Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Heji smiled and said: "The Gu family doesn't need to hide anything, because the Netherlands and Spain have fallen behind, and now they are the frog in the well!

Our Ming Dynasty now has the most powerful firearms in the world, and will also have the best iron tools in the world... With these two things, our Ming Dynasty's naval warships will definitely be able to defeat the Netherlands and Spain, and besides, we
