Chapter 237 Why did Emperor Chongzhen change his gender?

Chapter 236

When Catherine heard Cheng Shijie's words, she burst into laughter and laughed at herself, saying that she worried too much.

As Cheng Shijie said, the current Venetian city-state republic, starting from the beginning of the 10th century, after gaining independence from the Roman Empire through war, it quickly became a prosperous commercial center. During the Crusades, Venice took advantage of commerce and war,

Occupied a large area of ​​territory.

With its strong economy, Venice's culture, shipbuilding, architecture, painting, and sculpture have all made extraordinary achievements. Even though Venice has lost a large number of overseas colonies, the nationality of the Venetian City-State Republic is still very popular in Europe.

People from other countries are trying their best to squeeze in and obtain the citizenship of the Venetian City-State Republic. Some people are willing to spend one hundred thousand ducats, which is equivalent to ninety-five thousand taels of silver. Even when Venice faced the invasion of the Ottoman Empire,

There were also many sailors and soldiers, including businessmen in fact.

However, the Duke of Venice would rather die than surrender. As for leaving after completing his studies? Just leave if your brain is full of water!

Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "As early as more than two hundred years ago, your city-state Republic of Venice, after the ten-person parliament became a life-long parliament, your Venice was controlled by the oligarchs. This is the beginning of your decline. If you don't change this situation, there will be more in the future.

It is very dangerous to endure more failures because the wealth of the oligopoly cuts off the space for advancement. Your Venetian nobles will always be nobles, but the civilian class has no room to change their destiny!"

Catherine sighed and said: "My father is no longer the Governor of Venice. This is something I can no longer change!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "I believe that our Venice will become more and more prosperous and dynamic. A vibrant country has unlimited future. If anyone leaves after completing their studies, they will not be willing to repay the training you have received for several years."

Even more than ten years in Venice can only prove that he is an idiot! If all such idiots get out, Venice will not need to feel bad!"

This made Cheng Shijie think of future generations. People on the Internet have always felt sorry for the brain drain, and even hated those who left for Europe and the United States. But in fact, this kind of thing is actually unfounded. It is undeniable that it is a pity for some people to leave.

People are not worth feeling sorry for.

The Wudaokou of the beautiful country has been instilling the values ​​of foreigners in professors and students. In that environment, their students will have the understanding that the moon of the beautiful country is rounder than that of China. In fact, it is normal.

Real talents will not go out unless they have other ideas. Cheng Shijie knows very well that he is a trainee of Hansteel Group, and even now he has not resigned from Hansteel Group.

Because he has different feelings for Hansteel Group. The state-owned enterprise system is a fair one and is suitable for the environment with Chinese characteristics. At least talents will be reused instead of being buried.

Of course, some "talents" just think they are talents, not real talents. Just like the author, he once thought he was a talent, and he had to write different themes and different stories to prove that he was better.

As a result, the author understood that the author is just an idiot.

While others were writing about hot topics, only the author was writing about niche and unpopular topics. As a result, he did not take advantage of the rapid development of Internet literature. After more than ten years in the Internet industry, he was still a loser.

To be fair, Catherine thought that although Cheng Shijie greedily accepted her one million ducats and provided a solution to Venice's problem, he also prescribed medicine for Venice's illness. However, the medicine did not work, which was something Catherine could not predict.

…

In Beijing and the Forbidden City, Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, who was preparing to leave for duty, heard the news of Zheng Zhilong's defeat and dropped the book in his hand.

For Wen Tiren, this was already an extremely embarrassing performance, but now he couldn't care less about it. He just stared at his staff, trying to confirm whether the other party was joking with him: "What did you say? Say it again.

,How could Zheng Zhilong fail?"

Wen Tiren's staff told Wen Tiren the battle report they had just received.

For a long time, Wen Tiren sat on the soft couch blankly without any reaction.

In fact, for Cheng Shijie, an uncontrolled general, Wen Tiren and the entire civil service group did not like Cheng Shijie. Of course, if Cheng Shijie, like Zu Dashou, was willing to share his profits with the civil service group, then Cheng Shijie would immediately

He will become a pillar of the country in the eyes of the civil servants.

But the problem is that Cheng Shijie is not a fan of the civil service group. Instead, he steals meat from the civil service group. For example, Liao's salary is originally the purse and small treasury of the civil service group.

But as Ning Haijun pressed Jiannu to the ground and rubbed him, Jiannu's vitality was severely weakened and he was out of control. Guan Ning's army appeared to be very incompetent. Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly misappropriated the Liao's salary of Guan Ning's army. Without Cheng Shijie, they could have

Instigated Guan Ning's army to mutiny, thereby forcing Emperor Chongzhen to compromise.

But the problem is that Emperor Chongzhen is now eager for Guan Ning's army to mutiny, because Ning Haijun has stationed more than 20,000 troops in Guangning, a step away from Jinzhou, and has surrounded Jinzhou from three directions. Once Guan Ning's army dares to mutiny, Ning Haijun will

Go north to suppress the rebels as soon as possible.

As Cheng Shijie's territory in Liaodong grew larger and larger, the imperial court could not get involved at all. It appointed officials to Liaodong and recruited one faction to fight against another in Liaodong. The civil service group played very smoothly and had absolutely rich experience.

But the problem is that Cheng Shijie has all the people in Liaodong. The people have weapons seized by Ning Haijun, as well as bows and arrows and crossbows from Jiannu, including muskets, especially revolvers. These things are very deadly, no matter how strong they are.

A big man, when faced with a revolver, would fall with one shot.

Almost everyone in Liaodong has weapons, and it is clearly stipulated that in order to prevent attacks by slaves, all weapons can only be used for self-defense, but weapons cannot be taken out of the house without the permission of the Liaodong Management Committee.

This is extremely fucked up. If the officials sent to Liaodong want to exploit the place, the risk is extremely high. They want to impose exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, right? OK, if they close the door and I don’t pay, what can you do to me? Break in? Be careful what’s inside.

They will kill you with a shot or a knife! The worst thing is that those bastards and Cheng Shijie supported them and were shot to death by them. Those officials died in vain!

The officials sent to Liaodong were unwilling to go, life or death. They were given a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver to clear the magistrate's office in three years, but they didn't know if they were destined to stay here for three years. There was no way they could be officials.

The key is that Cheng Shijie doesn't play by the rules. As long as a corrupt official is found out, not only will the person die, but the whole family will also suffer. No matter where the officials are, as long as something happens in Liaodong, their homes will definitely encounter bandits and their property will be robbed.

If I don't say anything, all my family members will disappear.

Of course, this is just a special operation team that Cheng Shijie controls in the hands of Chen Guodong. It has only one responsibility, specifically to deal with corrupt officials. Under the threat of this special operation, he went to Liaodong to serve as an official? Is there any way to do it? He is absolutely unwilling to go to Liaodong to serve as an official. Send him there

It's just the unlucky guy whose grandma doesn't care and whose uncle doesn't love him.

When such unlucky people arrive in Liaodong, they can only work well as officials, serve as Cheng Shijie's officials, listen to Cheng Shijie's words, and implement various management regulations in Liaodong. They are still alive and can live a good life.

The problem of corrupt officials that Zhu Yuanzhang could not solve was solved by Cheng Shijie. Cheng Shijie did not need a joint trial by the three departments or official evidence from the court. No matter how many protective umbrellas there were, he would deal with whoever had problems.

This special operations team was established for a year and a half and has carried out fifteen outings. It is secretly called the Soul Seduction Order by officials, and it can kill the whole family with one hook.

After trying impeachment to no avail, slander to no avail, and crackdown to no avail, Wen Tiren and the civil service clique went to great lengths to provoke a fierce battle between the two evil dragons, Cheng Shijie and Zheng Zhilong.

A perfect opportunity to fight.

In fact, Wen Tiren also contributed a lot here, and even wrote to the governor of Fujian himself many times, asking the governor of Fujian to mobilize the people around Zheng Zhilong to kill the sea merchants. This was the lifeblood of Ning Haijun, and Ning Haijun made great efforts

After the dispatch, Wen Xiuren couldn't sit still and simply sent people to Fuxiamen to facilitate contact with Zheng Zhilong.

He dreamed of a big fight between Cheng Shijie and Zheng Zhilong, preferably in which both sides would be injured. As for how much the people would suffer and how many people would die, he didn't consider it at all. He just wanted Cheng Shijie to die!

Wen Tiren's hatred of Cheng Shijie was not entirely due to jealousy. Of course, he was indeed madly jealous of Cheng Shijie. He became the head of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

The great officials of the Ming Dynasty who had the power of life and death.

Cheng Shijie was not a Jinshi, so he could not threaten Wen Tiren's status. But the problem was that behind Cheng Shijie were Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong. In the original history, with the Dengzhou Rebellion, Sun Yuanhua, a student, was executed, and Xu Guangqi's body also passed away.

But now Xu Guangqi is in good health. After a serious illness, he is getting better and better after recuperation. In particular, Cheng Shijie worships Sun Chengzong as his disciple. These two great gods have absolute strength to crush him.

Especially Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, because of their relationship with Cheng Shijie, were relied on by Chongzhen as the pillars of the country.

Wen Tiren and Cheng Shijie are at odds with each other. The most important reason is that there are rumors that Cheng Shijie is a descendant of Mohism and Legalism, and is responsible for revitalizing Mohism and Legalism!

At first he thought it was a rumor, but after carefully studying Cheng Shijie's political actions and the way he treated people, he was horrified to find that this guy was almost the incarnation of Mohism and Legalism!

The most obvious point is that things should be done in accordance with the law, and punishment has no hierarchy. Within his jurisdiction, no matter whether he is a gentry, a high-ranking scholar, or a trafficker or a pawn, once he commits a crime, he will be punished according to the law, and he will be punished according to the punishment he deserves. There is no room for flexibility.

As for Mohist thought, it is too obvious in him. First of all, this guy has an almost fanatical hobby for machine arts, natural science, etc., and strives for excellence.

”, “Heaven’s Will”, “Minggui”, “Fei Ming”, “Fei Yue”, “Effective Burial”, “Economic Use” and other ideas were all put into practice one by one under his strong promotion...

Okay, let's play "non-attack", this guy is more aggressive than a mad dog!

Legalism and Mohism, the two most glorious schools of thought during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, had a profound impact on the development trajectory of China. Although these two schools have gradually declined since the Western Han Dynasty when Confucianism was the sole focus, and Mohism in particular has almost disappeared, but

This does not mean that Confucians can sit back and relax.

The inheritance of the Mohist family has never been cut off. No matter how declining it is, it has always gritted its teeth and persevered. It has survived two long years, and finally achieved the sudden rise of the current army, sweeping Liaodong with lightning speed.

The most serious thing is that Mohism is a fatal threat to Confucianism and must not be tolerated!

The battle between the civil servants and the military generals turned into a life-and-death contest between Confucianism, Legalism, and Mohism. Either you die or I die!

However, Wen Tiren never thought that before he knew it, Cheng Shijie had turned into a huge mountain, weighing him down so hard that he even dreamed of overturning it!

However, the news he received gave him a headache. Zheng Zhilong was defeated by Cheng Shijie. Thousands of various battleships were lost, one-third of the main battleships were lost, and more than 300 main battleships were wiped out. Especially Zheng Zhilong's elite

The sailors suffered more than 15,000 casualties, while the losses of the marines were not heavy, but still exceeded 10,000.

Whether it was a land battle or a naval battle, the Zheng Group was vulnerable! Such bad news made Wen Tiren collapse. The wolf-like Jian Nu became paralyzed when he met Cheng Shijie. The majestic Zheng Zhilong also became weak when he met Cheng Shijie.

A leak is like a note.

Could it be said that Cheng Shijie is invincible?

Seeing Wen Tiren's face as if he was constipated, his staff Yang Siyuan forced a smile: "Please don't worry, Mr. Ge, this small failure is nothing to mention to Governor Zheng, it's just a drop in the bucket... Besides, Cheng Shijie's losses were also quite heavy.

You need to concentrate all your strength to make a thunderous strike, and you can make him disappear into ashes..."

Wen Tiren let out a long sigh and said, "This time, Cheng Shijie can't hold it back any longer!"

"If you really can't suppress him, then you can only put him on the fire and roast him!"

"Siyuan, do you have any good ideas?"

"Students do have some foolish opinions!"

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Then let's get rid of the fire!"

"But how to draw it?"
