Southeast coast.
The first shot of Xu Yi's rebellion was unexpectedly fired here.
The main reason is that he is very unhappy with the maritime merchants here!
These guys used various means to prevent the imperial court from opening the sea, but they secretly went to the sea and grabbed astonishing wealth from the sea trade.
The source of the closed-door policy of the Ming and Qing Dynasties lies in these guys!
So to sum up, at least half of the hundreds of years of suffering that this land will encounter in the future will be attributed to these people.
Plus they are so rich, who would you target if you don’t target them?
What?
You say they are powerful and powerful?
hehe.
Do you know what it means to unify the martial arts world?
Just because the Sun and Moon Demon Sect took action, all their resistance was in vain.
Xu Yi easily swept away all the maritime merchant families on the southeast coast, including officials at all levels who were closely related to them. They were all killed and replaced by his people.
From these maritime merchants, Xu Yi directly obtained wealth worth 120 million taels of silver. This huge amount of wealth allowed Xu Yi's team to grow rapidly again.
Immediately afterwards, he set his sights on the wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Most of these wealthy businessmen are ruthless and annex land. If the maritime merchants on the southeast coast have cut off the future of this land, then these guys have cut off the roots of this land.
Was Ming Dynasty poor?
By the late Ming Dynasty, all these families were extremely wealthy, and were even as rich as the merchants of the Song Dynasty.
However, the people of the Ming Dynasty were all starved of food and clothing, and their lives were not like those in the prosperous Ming Dynasty, but more like a group of people living in a war-torn era.
It was their greedy possession of a large amount of the country's wealth through various illegal means that finally led to the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Yi's senses for this group of people are not as bad as those of the maritime merchants, but who made you so rich?
Even if you have money, you are still bad. This is how you take your own life.
The Sun and Moon Demon Sect is out again...
After unifying the world, Xu Yi's sphere of influence had already reached the entire Ming Dynasty, and even extended to surrounding countries.
Regardless of how far the Sun and Moon Demon Sect's sphere of influence is from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, anyway, if I say this is the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, then it is the Sun and Moon Demon Sect!
Following the maritime merchants on the southeast coast, the wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were once again exploited by Xu Yi, and finally collected wealth worth hundreds of millions of taels of silver. At the same time, they also filled every important position in Jiangsu and Zhejiang with their own people.
This is the reason why Xu Yi did not directly start a rebellion or chose the easier way to usurp the throne.
If he directly rebels or seeks to usurp the throne, it will be either impossible or relatively troublesome to attack this group of people.
Especially after he takes office, he will need a lot of wealth to build the country. If he attacks them at that time, he may not leave a good reputation in the history books.
It's much more convenient now. Let the people from the Sun and Moon Demon Sect take action. After the matter is over, Xu Yi will take action to 'kill' the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
Although this wealth has always been in his own hands, after reading the words "Sun and Moon Demon Sect", the ill-gotten wealth has turned into righteous wealth. How convenient.
But it’s not time to deal with the Sun and Moon Demon Sect yet.
He set his last sight on the Northwest Shanxi Merchant Group.
Needless to say, their sins were that they sold various salt and iron artifacts to the Houjin tribe outside the pass, allowing them to grow and eventually take over this land.
If the wealthy businessmen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the blood-sucking worms in this land, then these northwest business groups are the traitors of this country and even this nation.
"We can't spare them!"
The Sun and Moon Demon Sect went out again and looted them all.
"about there."
After seizing the wealth of the three major business groups and acquiring wealth worth more than 300 million taels of silver, Xu Yi finally had enough confidence to seize and rule the world.
At this time, the world was actually in chaos.
The three major business groups almost represent the three major forces in the court today. The main reason why each of them can earn so much wealth is because they have people above them!
Now that Xu Yi has let the Sun and Moon Demon Sect bring disaster to all three major business groups, isn't this the equivalent of poking a hornet's nest into their nest?
Many of these are their own families!
The red-eyed courtiers of the Ming Dynasty wanted to take revenge on the Sun and Moon Demon Sect like crazy, and then the Sun and Moon Demon Sect also carried out various assassinations and sneak attacks on them without any sense of martial ethics.
In a short period of time, a large number of officials died, and the entire imperial government fell into a semi-collapse stage.
Then at this time, the Tatars of Houjin came to join in the fun again, and the world would become a mess?
"Master, it's time."
Taoist priest Chongxu said from the side.
"Don't worry, let me kill these Tatars first!"
Xu Yi looked in the direction of Shanhaiguan.
Let alone the civil war, the Tatars must die!
And the outcome of this battle goes without saying.
So invincible, when Xu Yi personally went out to fight and led an army of 30,000 warriors to attack, he immediately killed more than 10,000 Tatars!
In this battle, Xu Yi held a square-shaped painted halberd, and with one sweep, dozens of Tatars were killed. He was so powerful that he was attacked by fire, and arrows were shot at him from all over the sky.
But so what?
With a terrifying body that has been fully trained, even without the armor on his body, it would be difficult for them to penetrate his skin.
Xu Yi was rampant on this battlefield, killing the entire battlefield by himself.
"Run! Run away! He is a devil!"
"He's not human at all! We can't defeat him!"
The Tatars fled frantically, and were then surrounded and killed by an army of warriors. These warriors were all third-rate or above, and were much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
One-on-one, they can easily kill these Tatars, let alone two-on-one now, and this is when the opponent has completely lost their fighting spirit and just wants to escape.
Without any surprise, the group of Tatars who attempted to invade while taking advantage of the chaos of the Ming Dynasty were directly defeated by Xu Yi.
If it weren't for the fact that the matter on Daming's side has not been resolved yet, Xu Yi would probably have wanted to kill them directly in their lair and take away their lair!
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"
"Heavenly Master! Heavenly Master!"
The army shouted loudly and looked at Xu Yi feverishly.
This battle could end so easily simply because of Xu Yi's strong personal strength!
He single-handedly destroyed the entire battlefield, and his invincible appearance made the enemy frightened. They lost all fighting spirit and did not dare to fight again.
"Go back! We will rule the world!"
"Unify the world!"
"Unify the world!"
Xu Yi held Fang Tian's painted halberd high and led an army of warriors back to the Central Plains.
After returning to the Central Plains.
Xu Yi first 'solved' the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, then held high the banner of 'the court is unethical' and started a vigorous rebellion.
What's a bit ridiculous is that after Xu Yi defeated the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, the imperial court actually wanted to 'recruit' him and let him become an official in the imperial court, or be the commander-in-chief of the army of a state? It's so funny!
Xu Yi immediately beheaded the visitor.
Without waiting for the imperial court to get angry, it quickly swept through most of the world with a terrifying gesture.
The Northwest Road, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and the southeastern coast had essentially fallen under Xu Yi's control during the previous suppression operations.
Xu Yi rebelled in one fell swoop, and almost all of these three regions became his territory. Then based on this, and through the connection of the forces in the world, it didn't take much time to take over most of the world.
At this time, everyone in the court was still arguing about who would be the commander-in-chief.
When the news came, well, no one wanted to argue, they all started to shirk it.
Then when they finally selected a general, Xu Yi's army had already arrived outside the imperial city.
A group of Ming Dynasty's 'loyal ministers' all ran out and opened the city gate to welcome the new emperor.
"My Ming Dynasty is just gone?"
The carpenter emperor Zhu Youxiao was stunned.
Although he didn't really like sitting in this position, he suddenly realized that he had become the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The feeling was quite complicated.
"You can just go and be a carpenter in peace from now on!"
Xu Yi did not kill the other party directly. Although he was not very competent as an emperor, he did not do any big evil in the end, so he let him go.
As for whether there will be some kind of "return to justice" in the end?
It's not that he looks down on these people, it's that they really can't do anything.
He was truly born as an emperor!
On the skill panel, the art of war skills have reached LV 5. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a contemporary military god. Coupled with his invincible battlefield strength, who can seize the world from him?
They don't even have the ability to make a splash!
After conquering the world, Xu Yi ascended the throne as emperor, took the name of his country, and was known as the Great Yi Dynasty in history.
Immediately afterwards, the world quickly entered the recovery stage.
First, he ordered that all land in the world be nationalized, and neither the common people nor the gentry were allowed to hold land privately.
This policy will definitely cause an uproar, but when Xu Yi is distributed equally to the people of the world and the corvee is eliminated, this problem will not be serious.
This class of officials and gentry, which owned the most land in the world, had been killed by Xu Yi. Now all their land fell into Xu Yi's hands. It was no problem that he held more than half of the land in the world.
If the common people don't rebel, what kind of disturbance can a few petty officials and gentry cause?
This is the biggest advantage of rebelling over trying to usurp the throne. If you don't like it or think it is the source of unrest, you can kill them all with one stick!
Without those sources of unrest, who could come out to disrupt his policies? Do you really think that his Fang Tian painted halberd can no longer be wielded? !
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yi ordered the promotion of corn cultivation across the country.
As early as the middle of the Ming Dynasty, corn had been introduced to China, but at that time it was only spread in some areas. It first appeared in Guangxi, then Hebei, Shandong, Henan and so on.
Because it was not taken seriously by the court, this high-yielding plant was not promoted. Later, it was during the Qing Dynasty that this high-yielding plant was promoted by the court and planted all over the world.
During the Qing Dynasty, China's population rapidly increased from 100 million to 400 million people due to the nationwide promotion of corn cultivation.
What the common people care about most is eating and filling their stomachs. Most of them don't have any bad thoughts.
Xu Yi solved this problem, and basically there is no need to worry too much about the stability of the world.
Then there is the issue of sea ban, which must be lifted!
This is related to future development issues, especially in the Americas, which are so rich in resources! If you don’t mine, you’d be sorry for yourself!
Moreover, in the future era of global industrialization, various resources from all over the world will inevitably be used, and opening up the sea is a must!
Speaking of which, shipbuilding is also a problem. With a lot of information and materials obtained from maritime merchants, it is not difficult for them to go out and make a fortune, but they use relatively poor merchant ships. As for those who can occupy land and colonize They don't have mainland warships.
But this problem is not big. Just let his subordinates do the research and development. If it doesn't work, Xu Yi can just hang it up and get them some powerful warship design drawings. There will be no problem.
With Xu Yi's current soul strength, even if he doesn't use the enlightenment state, he is still the world's top genius. It's just shipbuilding. He should be fine if he just learns it for a few days.
Then, there is the issue of Jianghu forces.
This must be rectified, there is no saying about this.
All Jianghu forces are banned and are not allowed to exist anymore, but Shaolin Wudang can exist, but not that kind of existence, but Shaolin Buddhist Academy, Wudang Taoist Academy and the like.
All martial arts inheritances are nationalized, and those who want to teach can only enter the Royal Martial Arts Academy founded by the state.
At this point, it is useless for Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Chongxu to regret it. Of course, they are actually not at a loss.
Both of them were hired as the first vice-presidents of the Royal Martial Arts Academy, and their status was much higher than that of the original Shaolin Abbot and Wudang Master!
This is the second-in-command in charge of martial arts education in the world!
Now, he is at least equivalent to the deputy minister of the Ministry of Education!
As for the dean of the Royal Martial Arts Academy, of course it is Xu Yi’s master Yue Buqun!
Originally, Feng Qingyang was wanted to take the position. Compared to Fang Zheng and Chongxu, Yue Buqun's status was indeed a bit low, but Feng Qingyang's status was quite sufficient.
However, Feng Qingyang didn't like this, so Xu Yi had no choice but to give up and give him the title of honorary dean. Yue Buqun also forced his way into the position.
Although it is somewhat inappropriate, Xu Yi is unlikely to give such an important position to an outsider, and this position, whether given to Chongxu or Fang Zheng, is actually not very good and can easily cause various conflicts. .
It's better to do this. Although it's a bit troublesome, Xu Yi believes that with Lao Yue's ability, he can still solve these troubles.
After dealing with these problems, Xu Yi was ready to rebuild a new political system and liberate himself from it.
But not before he could build it.
Above the court.
Ren Woxing, who had become a second-rank official in the imperial court and went by the pseudonym Ren Zhong, suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty has ascended the throne as emperor, but now the harem is vacant. For the sake of the world, I sincerely ask your Majesty to choose a concubine!"
