Chapter 443 Lonely

It was easy for the Ming army to occupy Rio in essence, and the fact that the Brazilian Governor did not station in Rio was nothing to the Eastern Army Office.

Since military occupation has been decided, it is no longer important that the governor or the governor is not.

Most of the world quarrels with each other are not scary. The real scary often exists in calm creepy and palpitations.

The Oriental Military Office's training has spread to North Asia, and the sea and land gatherings are launched in Jincheng. The indigenous cavalry team recruited by Hulan are running on the grassland. The eastern coast of northern Florida does not require training and training. They are simpler and more crude, and they send battle reports to Changsheng directly through Mexico City.

In August, October and November of the eighth year of Wanli, the Changdao Right Guard Banner Army annihilated and landed on the coast, and infiltrated 274 people, of which 121 were French pirates, 107 were English pirates, and forty-six were Dutch pirates.

Among them, twelve people accepted advice and accepted that the land was not New France. The magistrate Yang Zhaolong picked a small boat from their boat and gave it water and food to send it away.

But Euroi, who met the merchant, was not so lucky. The godson of tobacco tycoon Li Yuxi, who stayed on Long Island, also shone in the war report. After the first attack on the port in August, he bribed 42 merchant ships of all sizes and large and small, and converted them into small fire boats. Finally, in November, French pirates drove two ships to approach the coast of Quebec.

The result was self-evident. The pirate ship entered the St. Lawrence River from the bay. They originally wanted to go to the so-called "New France" at the mouth of the river to buy beaver skins and other specialties, but unexpectedly they were shot away by the Iroquois militia from afar. They wanted to exit the bay and then ran into the fireboat caravan that rushed to hear the news. None of the two ships ran away.

The imperial court's custody order to Muye County was to prevent the Euroi from disrupting public order or occupying land, but the order to Li Yuxi to his nephews and disciples was to never allow any Euroi to land on the east coast and leave alive.

The city walls on the east coast are important front lines for the Dongyang Military Mansion and an important experimental site for the railway. But for Li Yuxi, the east coast is his lifeline of wealth and no one is allowed to be involved in it.

Chen Mu, who was always victorious, received the first important letter from the court in a hurry. He was almost as thick as the "Guide to Defend the Guns of Flag Army", without any war report. He first ran horses all the way to Kuwu Island by Jinyiwei, and then from Kuwu Island to 4,000 miles. The horse could no longer gallop, but instead the local people from Heishui Marine Island rode on the east side and sent it in turn.

Finally, when he arrived in Jincheng, he was sent to Changsheng by a messenger by boat.

When Chen Mu received this generous letter, he thought the cabinet had something urgent to ask him, but he did not expect that more than a hundred pages of exquisitely bound letters were all handwritten by the emperor.

The emperor's handwriting... made Chen Mu very envious.

The Taige style commonly used by scholars is neatly written like a printed publication, and it even makes people hard to believe that it is written by hand.

The tone in the letter is still very close. Although I haven't seen each other for several years, the intermittent letters have never stopped between the local area and the New World. The emperor is still like a child in the book, and on the surface, most of the articles are like self-admiring rulers complaining without any illness.

But Chen Mu knew that this kind of speech was probably due to the deep grievances that the emperor had not been recognized by some of his political measures.

Minister Dongyang also learned a good lesson about Wanli’s usual sentence: Although the empire is already so good, I am still lonely.

When a series of such sentence patterns form parallelism, the embarrassment brought to Chen Mu is even more intense.

The emperor complained at the beginning that his loneliness came from power. Although his power had changed a lot from four years ago when he started writing this letter on the Mid-Autumn Festival in the eighth year of Wanli. The government and the public were accustomed to the emperor's direct command of an army, and strengthened the education in the division of power in the imperial system, and firmly grasped the authority of emerging handicrafts and industries.

However, the emperor who was free from the bureaucratic system could not manage the empire as easily as Zhang Gelao, the chief minister of the empire.

In Chen Mu's understanding, this is also the reason why the emperor asked the letter to be urgently sent to Changsheng, waiting for Changsheng, and the reply letter must be sent by the Jinyiwei himself - their communication cannot be seen by others.

This is basically the emperor's manual for seizing power. The main purpose is to report to his revolutionary mentor Chen Mu on the progress of seizing power, and to ask him one by one the difficulties he encountered in the book.

Military, Wanli hopes to move a group of mainland military households to the old place of the three guards in Duoyan, Wulianghai after the Northern Expedition. In the same year, the officers of the Four-Danger Battalion trained by him personally dispatched localities to recruit soldiers for training. The weapons and armor of the New Banner Army were supplied by the three major armies of Beiyang, Xuanfu and Nanyang. Without any war, they could use 60% of the production capacity to arm the four guards light equipment in a year.

In this way, the domestic guards were gradually sent to the East, North Asia, Xinming, and Western India.

The so-called light equipment means all military uniforms, armor, cold soldiers and firearms except artillery.

The emperor's problem was that he could neither accept the low combat effectiveness of the old flag army nor the high military expenditure of the Beiyang flag army. He asked Chen Mu what to do.

In terms of education, the emperor coordinated local schools through the provincial academic and political masters, unified management of the old Yin-Yang, medicine, and official schools in all county seats, and repaired local officials and civil society schools with funds allocated by the Ministry of Revenue. He also wanted to open a telegraph room and route to connect the schools in the world, and regard education as the emperor's inherent power.

However, for the subjects of school reform, the emperor neither wanted to fully comply with the ancient system nor looked down on the education of Xu Jie Songjiang Lecture Academy that specializes in serving as an official.

Moreover, he neither knows how to do it nor whether he can do it, so he learns what he has learned in his mind.

This is also a problem that the emperor needs Chen Mu to solve.

In terms of industry, the emperor faced an emerging group of workers that had never been seen in ancient times. They were also one of the four people, but their lifestyles had undergone earth-shaking changes. In the contemporary era when the demand for steel surged, he appointed Xu Guangqi to restart the official iron smelting in Beizhili, and Ye Mengxiong paved the railway between Beiyang and the Great Wall. The faster the progress, the more problems he encountered.

The most difficult thing is about the farmers.

The emperor had discovered that in places where industrial prosperity, farmers became increasingly difficult to maintain stability. When workers and merchants were associated with each other, the farmers who formed the cornerstone of the empire faced unprecedented tests. On the one hand, they saw the wealth of merchants and the expensive expenses of workers during vacations, and on the other hand, they were increasingly unable to bear the heavy farming work.

People gradually found a balance between throwing their homes and putting themselves into factories and working hard and working hard, but this balance was something the emperor didn't want to see.

It is a good thing that the country becomes rich, but once wealth comes too quickly, it will bring new problems and the gap between the rich and the poor.

The most terrifying thing about the gap between the rich and the poor is not that only one person is rich in one hundred people, but ten people become rich in one hundred people, and twenty people are about to become rich in one hundred people.

This is more like a nightmare for the other eighty people who are staring at you than being poor and hungry.

Emperor Wanli rarely used a metaphor in his letter, which was a metaphor for a small fishing boat docked by the port. Two people went up, eight people didn't go up, and people attacked each other, scolding the boatman and hating the two people who squeezed in.

But the boatman had no choice, the boat really couldn't hold the people; the two people had no choice, they worked hard to squeeze on the boat, not to give up the position to others.

Emperor Wanli said that this was the responsibility given to him by God and others could not solve it, only he could.
