Chapter 345 Wanli Restoration

His Majesty the Emperor accepted all the requests made by Gentleman Susong without any bargaining.

Although these requirements were put into the past, they were like rebellion.

The Ming Dynasty continued the cabinet system...

The gentry were actually satisfied with this system.

After all, this was the result of their continuous efforts for two hundred years.

The local counties are autonomous, and the court can appoint prefecture-level officials. As for the governors, governors, etc., of course, the county will be elected by the county council, and the prefectures and provinces will retain the council to supervise the officials appointed by the court. The council of each prefecture and the council of each prefecture and province will elect the council of the government and form the Guanzhengyuan in the capital. The cabinet ministers are elected by the Guanzhengyuan and handed over the emperor to choose from.

But they are definitely wise ministers.

The six ministries, nine ministers, and the chief censors were recommended by the cabinet ministers to the emperor to be appointed.

However, these people must still be on the right path to the imperial examination, which is particularly important.

Even if it is a local magistrate, although it is elected by the council, it must be a juren or a tribute student first. A simple scholar is definitely not good, and it is even more impossible without fame and fortune.

Taxes must be agreed upon by the majority of the Executive Yuan.

The court must agree to spend money.

Another top priority is the control of the army. This is the establishment of the Grand Governor's Office, and His Majesty the Emperor appointed the Grand Governor himself. He can do it himself. After all, he still has to respect the emperor's authority. However, the emperor does not have an army, and at most he can hire a guard himself. The amount of money depends on how much the court gives him. Each province has its own provincial army. As for the number of people, it will be decided by the Guanzhengyuan to negotiate and resolve it. After all, it costs money to establish an army. The rich people in the local area are different from those who have money!

The provincial army is responsible for the province's work of suppressing bandits and suppressing rebellions and suppressing troublemakers. When it is necessary to go out of the province to fight, it will be transferred from the provincial governor's office to fight with the approval of the Provincial Council.

The provinces are responsible for the military expenditures and management of the provinces.

The court is responsible for the military expenditures for leaving the province.

There is also the Grand General Office of the Navy Army. According to the army, everything is not needed inland. Anyway, the coastal provinces maintain naval forces for maritime trade, and the money earned cannot be divided with the inland. However, if the court needs to be summoned, the military expenditure will still be responsible for the court.

In short, the future Grand Governor's Office has no power to mobilize any army without the consent of the provincial councils.

Of course, there are also some small ones, such as the royal family taking care of themselves, the number of concubines, palace maids and eunuchs is fixed, and the economy is fully open to all industries including salt industry...

A lot of them.

His Majesty the Emperor accepted it in full.

But this is not enough, because it was only proposed by Susong's Council.

So His Majesty the Emperor continued to wait at Hushu Pass, and then Zhao Zhigao, Song Yingchang and others brought the delegation of the Zhejiang Council to Suzhou and reviewed these conditions. They were basically satisfied. At most, they would modify the details and then hand them over to His Majesty the Emperor after the modification.

What else can His Majesty the Emperor do? Of course, he continues to agree.

But it's not enough.

There is also a Fu suggestion board!

Xu Xinsu sent people 500 miles to send them to Fuzhou, and then Fu suggested that the board of directors make detailed changes to these conditions after discussion.

Not enough.

There is also the Guangdong Council!

The previous ones were all from the Hongguang Dynasty. Now it is considered anyway, but Guangdong has always been loyal and unyielding. Even these things can be made any demands. Can it be that the loyal ministers in Guangdong do not work like this? Do loyal ministers have no value to appease? Therefore, we must wait for the decision of the Guangdong Council. Because of the distance, the waiting time will be longer. After all, we cannot go to Jiangxi at this time and need to transfer from Fujian.

The poor emperor continued to wait.

But at this time he was in a good mood. After all, a brand new empire had appeared in front of him. Although he was similar to a puppet in this empire, the problem was that he would not have to be servile and not have to worry about the troublemakers bombarding the palace. He could truly live like an emperor.

As for power...

If he doesn't accept these conditions, he will have nothing.

Accept these conditions, first of all, become the emperor, and then fight slowly after the rest!

He is only in his early thirties now, and he has time to fight with the gentry.

At least he will not be desperate when fighting with officials and gentry. It’s just that everyone depends on their own abilities. He has been fighting with officials and gentry for more than 20 years, but it really makes people desperate when facing Yang Feng!

His Majesty the Emperor waited for a month with confidence, and finally waited until the 500-mile Guangdong transferred from Fujian to speed up.

Guangdong followed.

Moreover, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Dai Yao and Guangdong gentry unanimously invited the emperor to go south and then took Guangzhou as their position. However, this was opposed by Zhejiang gentry, but Suzhou must not be able to do it either. After all, there is the Red Turban Army opposite Taihu Lake, so the gentry of Zhejiang proposed Hangzhou. Even if there is an accident, just board the ship and run away. Didn’t Zhao Gou design it that way back then?

His Majesty the Emperor must respect the opinions of Zhejiang gentry after all.

The Guangdong gentry could not help him, although Dai Yao appointed Chen Ce as the general in Guangdong, and claimed that he would go north to serve the king with an army of 100,000.

But this season, the sea boats cannot travel north.

After all this was discussed, His Majesty the Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, under the reception of representatives sent by the three councils of Susong, Zhejiang and Fujian, officially entered Suzhou City and enjoyed the welcome of millions of Suzhou subjects. Then he personally read out his edict in Suzhou and implemented the new policy in the Ming Dynasty. As for the content of the new policy, of course, the conditions were the conditions, and His Majesty the Emperor also led his subjects to worship the heavens in Suzhou, igniting the tribute with the content of the new policy, which was considered to clarify the new policy in a way that reported to heaven.

The Ming Dynasty officially began the Wanli Reform!

Suzhou.

The newly built temple of sacrifice was surrounded by people, and His Majesty the Emperor burned his sacrifice with a solemn expression on it.

Or it can also be said to be the Ming version of the Magna Carta.

This thing will also be carved on stones. In the future, these stone tablets will be erected outside the city gates in various places.

"The Ming Dynasty's revival is expected, and you can rest in peace under the nine springs of Jiaomen!"

Mr. Zhao said, wiping his tears.

It can be seen that he is sad about Chen Yiguan's death. Although the two old men are not political allies, they finally persisted for the emperor in the capital for three years. As a result, when he came back, Chen Yiguan was bombed to death.

More importantly...

What Mr. Chen died will be remembered forever!

It’s not that he has been infamous for thousands of years, but compared with Shen Yiguan’s martyrdom for the country, he is suspected of escaping at the last moment.

In order to make Yang Feng's death more legendary, Chen Yiguan and Ye Mengxiong had become a waste to avoid Yang Feng's suspicion and deliberately went to death to deceive him to the Eastern Palace with their bodies as bait, so they were able to successfully bomb him to death. The emperor also awarded them the titles. At this time, Ningbo had already begun to build the Shen Wengonggong Temple.

It will be remembered forever!

"Duke Yang Yang, it's hard to say whether Yang Feng is dead or alive!"

Li Tingji, the head of the delegation sent by the Fu suggested to the Council, said.

The future Wanli Prime Minister is not only here to welcome the coach, but also to negotiate with Zhejiang Susong Group again.

The last time they negotiated was just a ceasefire agreement at sea, but now they have been tied together, so they need to renegotiate further distribution of interests. After all, the Fujian gentry was not willing to be expelled from Japan. They had been operating in Japan for decades, and Hirado alone had only tens of thousands of Fujianese, but now they were expelled from Zhejiang, and they were not willing to be willing to. Zhejiang gentry must also want to develop in the South Ocean. Since this is the case, why not take advantage of this east wind to negotiate and unite? After all, there are still many competitors in the South Ocean.

How good is it to join forces to grab business?

"Yang Feng must be dead. Lao Ji has written a letter from the Chen Jiaomen as evidence. This was sent to Lao Ji before he died for his country."

Zhao Zhigao calmly took out a letter.

"Well?"

Li Tingji looked at the letter.

"This handwriting..."

He pondered for a moment.

Wang Xijue looked at him with a smile.

"It's really from Jiaomen Gong. I don't want to see Jiaomen Gong's calligraphy again!"

Li Tingji said.

At this time, Xu Xinsu walked to him with a panic look on his face.

"Mr. Li, our merchant ship back from Jiaozhou brought back the news that the prince of the capital did not blow Yang Feng to death, but only killed the two men of Chen Ge. Moreover, Li Wen and Ma Gui were defeated in the capital, and both were shot and killed by gunfire. Now the Shandong New Army has begun to go north to reinforce Cangzhou. However, according to Jiaozhou rumors, Yang Feng has led the three generals of the Beijing Camp and the Great Wall to march westward."

He whispered.

The former elders all looked calm.

Li Tingji closed the letter...

"Fake it, Yang Feng has been killed by the bombing and his body has no bones. The rebels in the capital are afraid that the party members will escape, so they deliberately found a substitute to pretend to be Yang Feng. The Western Expedition was just to avoid being recognized."

He said.

"Well?"

Xu Xinsu was confused.

"Just tell the public that Yang Feng is dead. No matter what rumors there are in the north, he is already dead. Even if there is still someone named Yang Feng in the north, he can only be his substitute. These counterparty parties rely on Yang Feng. Once the news of Yang Feng being bombed will spread, they will naturally collapse. In order to prevent their subordinates from escaping, the leaders of the counterparty only look for substitutes to pretend to be Yang Feng to deceive their subordinates. Next, they will inevitably spread the rumors that Yang Feng is not dead. In the future, all merchant ships of the Nanyang Company must defy the rumors at the docks everywhere!"

Li Tingji said.

The former cabinet masters nodded in approval.

These old guys knew it well that they had insiders in the capital, and they had already sent the truth.

but……

Is this important?

His Majesty the Emperor said that Yang Feng was dead, and the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong plus Susong were also confirmed that Yang Feng was dead, which was also the guarantee of confidence that gentry from all over the country dared to welcome the emperor.

Could it be that the truth is released at this time?

Besides, what do you want?

An emperor who meets the wishes of the gentry, a Ming Dynasty that completely satisfy the gentry, has all been achieved, so the most important thing is to work together to continue it. It is good that Yang Feng dies, but Yang Feng will not continue the Wanli Reform even if he lives? Of course, he has to continue, but if he continues, he must work together to ensure the fighting spirit of the gentry in various places. They are afraid of Yang Feng, but not afraid of the Red Turban Army, so just let Yang Feng die.

He must die even if he lives.

In the future, Yang Feng can only be a substitute.
