There was never an example of a king of a different surname living. In the past, the king of a different surname was for the dead. Xu Da was posthumously named King Zhongshan, Chang Yuchun was posthumously named King Kaiping, and no matter how dead he died, he didn't care. Li Guodong was already a duke, and the troubled times were far from over. He could still make many great contributions, and he was no longer able to be granted.

Only the royal family can be granted the title of king. Even the King of Korea is only equivalent to the prince, and he only enjoys the treatment of a prince. Therefore, the daughter of the King of Korea is called the princess, and when he closes the door, he can be called the princess, and the concubine's daughter can only be called the princess.

Originally, there were a large number of kings of different surnames at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The situation was so decayed that it was irreversible. Whether Emperor Longwu or Emperor Yongli, first of all, they were not orthodox and had no controllable troops. They could only rely on the Ming army who was unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and a group of pirates who were recruited. The bandits struggled to support the situation. It didn't matter how many kings they were enthroned out.

However, in the current Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen, who was in a stable corner, was first orthodox and had certain control. Naturally, it was impossible for him to have a lot of kings like Longwu and Yongli. Therefore, no matter how great the contribution Li Guodong made, he could not be granted a king.

In order to avoid the consequences of the great power of the Lord's death, in addition to rebellion and crossing the ocean, there is another way, that is, marrying a princess in the future, which is to be considered Chongzhen's own family.

Li Guodong had not thought about rebelling yet, but someone outside had already rebelled.

In Wuzhou, Guangxi, Zhu Youlang, the King of Gui who escaped from Hengzhou, was about to move.

Zhu Youlang was born in the third year of Tianqi. In the autumn of the seventh year of Tianqi, his father Zhu Changying went to Hengzhou to take advantage of the vassal states. He followed his father to Hengzhou. In the sixth year of Chongzhen, he was named King of Yongming. In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army captured Changsha. Zhu Youlang fled south with his father and got separated from his father in Shiqi, south of Yongzhou. Later, he was captured by the Daxi Army. Fortunately, he was protected by the Ming officials who had infiltrated the Daxi Army, so he was able to escape from death and reunite with his father in Wuzhou, Guangxi.

Now that Zhu Changying is dead, Zhu Youlang inherited the title of King Gui.

"Today, the emperor gave up the capital, fled in a hurry, fled all the way to Nanjing, reopened the factory guards, and harmed the people along the way. He was already a foolish and tyrant monarch. In order to compete with the people for profit, the foolish monarch also slaughtered King Fu, and sent the factory guards to frame the loyal and kind, causing the people in Jiangnan to complain. The foolish monarch also indulged the slander Li Laoer confiscated the land of the gentry in Huguang and established military households to harm the people in Huguang. Jiannu invaded the south, and the foolish monarch actually forced Zuo Liangyu to rebel, but instigated Li Laoer to indulge the bandits!" He Tengjiao said in anger.

The purpose of cracking down on the land gentry was actually Li Guodong. Through the commander of the Jinyiwei, Zhang Shuheng, the harm caused by the land gentry to the Ming Dynasty was passed on to Chongzhen. Chongzhen recalled that he was so poor that he could not even pay military salaries, which led to the worsening of the situation and almost died in the capital. Naturally, he hated the land gentry to the core, and he handed over the butcher knife to Zhang Shuheng and Wang Chengen, and started a massacre of the land gentry.

Of course, Li Guodong supported the gentry of industry and business. In order to enable the Ming Dynasty to truly enter capitalism, it was necessary to support the gentry of industry and business to develop. However, supporting the gentry of industry and business does not mean that the industrial and commercial tax can be paid, but rather, it develops industry, develops science and technology, encourages competition, improves work efficiency, produces more commodities, and makes society more prosperous.

After factories and factories in various places produce more goods, they need to expand their sales, which requires business.

With the current production capacity of major factories and factories in Jiangnan, the domestic market has been saturated, which requires strong support for maritime merchants, construction of ports, and establishment of shipbuilding departments in Shanghai, Ningbo and other places. On the one hand, it collects customs duties, and on the other hand, it vigorously develops the shipbuilding industry.

Under the promotion of Li Guodong, the Royal Shipyard of the Ming Dynasty has been established in Shanghai, Ningbo and Nanjing to build large merchant ships and large warships.

The shipbuilding industry in the late Ming Dynasty shrank a lot compared to the early Ming Dynasty. The key reason was that the gentry who had close ties with maritime merchants deceived the emperor. Liu Daxia burned the treasure ship charts and maritime charts, causing the shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty to lag behind. However, the private shipbuilding industry developed, and the gentry in Jiangnan tasted the sweetness of supporting maritime merchants.

Now, the Royal Shipyard of the Ming Dynasty, which was established under the promotion of Li Guodong, was large in scale, advanced in technology, and could concentrate its efforts to do big things. Therefore, shipbuilding technology has developed again and can build ships that are better and larger than the ships built by the gentry of Jiangnan. The Royal Shipyard then sold these ships to Jiangnan sea merchants at fair and reasonable prices to encourage the development of maritime trade. Therefore, the Royal Shipyard of the Ming Dynasty was not accused by the censors of competing for profit with the people.

What is competing for profit with the people? This is giving benefits to the people. Benefiting the people. Do you have the ability to build such a good and big ship?

However, compared with the Ming Dynasty royal family supporting industrial and commercial gentry, the royal family repeatedly suppressed the land gentry, and even encouraged the Jiangnan gentry to open large farms in Huguang, Jiangxi and other places. This formed a great competition for the traditional land gentry. Many landlords went bankrupt one after another, and even some large landlords could not maintain it.

Because the large farms opened by the gentry in Jiangnan have much higher productivity than those of the gentry in Huguang and Jiangxi, the agricultural workers who enter the farm to work to ensure income due to drought and flood. As long as you are willing to work and work hard, everyone has a fixed salary. This has caused a large number of tenants of the gentry in the land to withdraw their rents and go to large farms to work as workers, resulting in the lack of manpower to cultivate the land of the gentry in the land, and many big landlords are almost unable to maintain their income, leaving only a way to sell land at a low price.

The invasion of Jiangnan gentry and large farms, the local land gentry in Huguang and Jiangxi naturally fought against the invasion of Jiangnan gentry. Originally, the strong dragons defeated the local snake, but the Jiangnan gentry hired a large number of retired soldiers and engineers from the Huai Army to do their own work, entered the land of Huguang and Jiangxi, purchased a large amount of land, and built large farms one after another.

The local gentry began to rebound. They sent domestic slaves and tenants to make trouble on large farms. Where were those domestic slaves and tenants who had served as soldiers? As a result, every storm of war, civilian fighting, etc., ended with a great victory for the gentry in Jiangnan.

Today, the gentry of Jiangnan, with the support of Li Guodong, already has excellent weapons and well-trained bodyguards to deal with the rebound of local gentry. In this way, the foreign gentry of Jiangnan forced to suppress the local gentry.

Not only did Jiangnan gentry invade Huguang and Jiangxi to establish large-scale farms, but even Li Guodong and Chongzhen entered Huguang and Jiangxi to open large-scale farms.

The silver matter is not a problem at all. With the strong support of the Jiangnan Donglin Silver, you can buy any land.

The result is that the traditional land gentry was miserable. They also wanted to try to start a farm in Daxing, but doing business was preconceived. If the same thing was done late and had lost any advantage, how could they compete with those industrial and commercial gentry who were increasingly large?

"He Duchen, what do you mean?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Organize personnel to put pressure on the court, let the emperor eliminate the treacherous slander in the court, and give me a bright and bright world!" He Tengjiao said.

"Do you want to clear your lord?" Zhu Youlang was scared and sweated.

He Tengjiao sneered: "If the emperor is willing to listen to our good words and eliminate treacherous slander, then we will achieve our goal. If the foolish monarch not only refuses to listen, but becomes more severe, then we might as well clear the emperor and calm the national crisis!"

Zhu Youlang sighed: "But how many troops do we have to compete with the foolish monarch?"

"The Gao Jinku in Ganzhou and the Guangdong gentry can pay for money and grain to form our own army."

"Guangdong gentry? Are they willing?"

"Of course I'm willing! Since the development of Jiangnan sea merchants, Guangdong gentry has been the first victim to be the brunt of the brunt!" He Tengjiao said.
