November, 1661.It has been nearly a year since the Battle of Xingyang.In this year, in addition to organizing the battle of the southwest attack on Sichuan, the Ming Dynasty was generally relatively peaceful in terms of the external environment.The residence of the regent of Nanjing.After Zhu Youlang moved to Beijing, the influence of the Zhu Ming clan on the Ming court gradually weakened, and Zhao Ming gradually grasped power.Although it will take a while for people to completely forget the emperor's surname Zhu, at least now, the entire Ming Dynasty is already Zhao Mingqiangang's dictatorship.Now, the emperor is in Beijing, the imperial court and the regent are in Nanjing, and the current political pattern of the Ming Dynasty is similar to that of Japan next door, and there are voices from all over the south of the Yangtze River, saying that it is really the era of regency.At this time, Zhao Ming is the actual controller of the Ming Dynasty, and all state affairs of the Ming Dynasty are decided by Zhao Ming.Zhao Ming also did not fulfill his promise when he was the king of Han, restricting the imperial power and delegating the cabinet, the imperial power is now completely locked up by Zhao Ming, but the power is firmly grasped by Zhao Ming, and the cabinet can only assist him in handling government affairs.For this situation, the cabinet and the civilian group must be a little disappointed, but their dissatisfaction did not dare to show it in front of Zhao Ming, they could only hope to support the younger generations, survive Zhao Ming, and look forward to the follow-up regent, don't think that Zhao Ming is so strong and so eloquent.Of course, if Zhao Ming wants to seize power, he naturally needs to deal with more things, so after returning to Nanjing, in addition to going to Shou County to inspect the coal mine and laying the Huainan railroad tracks, Zhao Ming has been staying in the Nanjing Regent's Mansion and dealing with various government affairs.At this time, in the study room of the mansion, Zhao Ming was holding a note to check, and there were several tables in the outer hall, and several staff members were working outside.More than ten provinces in the Ming Dynasty, thousands of counties, and overseas vassal states, five or six hundred copies of the recital sent to the imperial court every day, Zhao Ming didn't have the time to read it all by himself, but in his hand, although Zhao Ming listened to what the staff said, he still held it in his hand and read it carefully.Song Shu was sent from the east of Sichuan, Xia Wanchun played to the imperial court, Li Dingguo sheng attacked the east and west, attacked the east of Sichuan, not only received the Tang Tong army to attack Sichuan, but also defeated Shang Kexi, chased and killed the Zhou army for hundreds of miles, and surrounded Shang Kexi and Li Guoying in Hezhou.Now, 300,000 Ming troops have invaded Sichuan, and there are only 60,000 Zhou troops left in Sichuan.Zhao Ming was in a good mood after reading the song, he originally thought that the battle of Sichuan would be delayed until next year, and it would even be difficult to attack Sichuan for a while, but he didn't expect Li Dingguo to not only kill it, but also defeat Shang Kexi.This made Zhao Ming complacent, and said in his heart that he didn't use the wrong person."
Regent!"
At this time, a staff member walked in and saluted Zhao Ming: "This is the note sent by the cabinet today, and the important things are here." ”Zhao Minggang put down the song, ready to relax, took a short breath, and couldn't help frowning when he heard the words.Zhao Ming gets up at five in the morning and goes to bed at three in the evening, he really gets up earlier than the chickens and sleeps later than the dogs.This made Zhao Ming suspect for a while that this was the cabinet and the civilian clique manipulating him, wanting him to give up handling government affairs, so that the officials below could steal his power.However, Zhao Ming will not let them get their way, unless he is out on the expedition, he will not easily hand over power to his subordinates, and as long as he is in Nanjing, he will most likely handle it himself.After watching the excerpts of the day, Zhao Ming had some eye pain, but the damn charm of power made Zhao Ming unwilling to miss anything in this country."
Read it to the widow!"
Zhao Ming closed his eyes and lay down on the chair.With a smile on his face, the staff picked up a copy of the notebook and read it.This recital was written by the Han Governor's envoy, claiming that the activities of Han merchants in Japan were restricted by the Tokugawa Shogunate, and that the recruitment of tenants in Japan to colonize Nanyang was also interfered by the Tokugawa Shogunate, and that the Han Kingdom hoped that the Imperial Court would assist the Han State in exerting pressure on the Tokugawa family.Zhao Ming closed his eyes and asked, "What is the opinion of the cabinet!"
”"The advice given by the cabinet is to let the Han Kingdom refrain from conflict with the Tokugawa family for the time being."
Zhao Ming bowed slightly, the Han Kingdom is in the East China Sea and the South Seas, and it can be called a little overlord, but it is still too far from Japan, and Zhao Ming has no energy to help the Han State bully the Tokugawa family now, so he bowed his head and said: "You can use the seal."
For the time being, according to the intention of the cabinet, we will see if Japan will come to pay tribute this year, and if not, we will discuss it anew. ”The staff nodded, and then read another one, this one was also from overseas, and it was played by Zheng Sen, the king of Yanping, saying that the Dutch had seized a merchant ship of the Yanping Domain, and that the Yanping Domain was forced to fight back and was at war with the Dutch in Java and Malacca.Zhao Ming frowned slightly, Zheng Sen was too much, when I haven't read, am I illiterate?
This excuse is so obvious that Zheng Sen must have taken a fancy to Java and Malacca and made an excuse to annex the Dutch colony.The Han Kingdom and the Yanping Domain, two powerful overseas domains, made Zhao Ming feel a little uneasy, and he was a little suspicious of his feudal strategy, and whether he would be ruined in the end.Zhao Ming frowned, "Give an order to Zheng Sen, accept it when you see it, and if you dare to cut it first in the future, you will win the lord of the domain." ”The staff was busy using a red pen to annotate Zhao Ming's words on the fold.At this time, Zhao Ming asked: "Is there any music sent by Hebei and Shandong?"
”Last year, the Ming Dynasty recovered Hebei and Shandong, and Zhao Ming decided to promote the cultivation of large farms and large estates to restore the economy of the north.Because of the progress of the recovery in the north, it was decided when Zhao Ming would launch a general attack on the Zhou State.Now that a year has passed, the autumn harvest has passed, and the major farms and manors have completed the harvest and inventory, Zhao Ming is very concerned about the result."
Back to the Regent!
Hebei and Shandong have not yet been struck, but Liaodong is blocking the cabinet department, but there is a sparse delivery!
”Zhao Ming was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but sit up straight, "Blocking Yinxi's play?"
”Two years ago, Zhao Ming sensed that Zhu Yihai might launch a coup d'état, in order to prevent some of the ministers of the Longwu and Zhejiang departments that Zhao Ming valued from being involved, Zhao Ming sent Guanyinxi to Liaodong, let him preside over the colonization of the imperial court in the Liaohe Plain, and help the Ming army herd horses.This has been going for more than two years, and after Zhu Youlang was sent to Beijing, the plug Yinxi in Liaodi is undoubtedly too close to Beijing, and he is not his confidant, so Zhao Ming will think about it again, whether to call back the plug Yinxi and put it by his side, which is also convenient for monitoring.The staff nodded, "Regent, block the cabinet department, a group of Rakshasa people entered northern Liaobei along the Wuhuan River, and built forts in Aihui and other places to harass the herdsmen of northern Liaoning.The Ministry of Blocking the Pavilion thought that this Yi threatened the imperial court to colonize Liaodi, and was willing to ask the imperial court to prepare the three divisions of Liaoning to send soldiers and horses to expel this Yi. ”Zhao Ming was shocked when he heard this, Lao Maozi actually entered the Northeast, and the battle of Mofenibuchu was to be advanced?"
Where's Soshu?"
Zhao Ming said hurriedly.The staff hurriedly found a copy from a stack of notes and presented it to Zhao Ming.()
