.
After the summit is over, criminals from various countries with lighter sentences can go back with their respective heads of state.
Waived the remaining term of service and directly pardoned them, this is a face that Zhu Cihong gave everyone.
These criminals were not unjustly accused. All of them had personal and material evidence, and some were even captured on surveillance cameras.
The heads of state did not complain to Zhu Cihong. Emperor Haojing gave those embarrassing surveillance records as gifts to them for appreciation.
After watching the video, even the European Emperor Louis XIV had nothing to say. These scum were really disgraced and sent abroad.
They were very humiliated in the Ming Empire. After returning home, they must be punished severely and fined.
The main event was to show off the local criminals of the Ming Dynasty, which greatly affected the appetite of the heads of state, so Zhu Cixiang did not invite them to enjoy it.
Since this year is Emperor Haojing's 100th birthday, some people would even bet that the emperor would grant a general amnesty and use this seemingly powerful reason to commit suicide.
It would be a big mistake to think so. It is true that Zhu Cixiang is the only emperor through the ages, but he will not forgive those who seek death just because he celebrates his 100th birthday.
You murder and rob, and you still hope that I can pardon you. Aren't you just daydreaming?
Not only ordinary criminals have this idea, but also the rich gentry's children use this excuse to commit crimes.
Drunk driving causing accidents, forcibly having sex with women, wantonly occupying land, shiploads of stolen goods...
There are many similar things, too numerous to mention, and Zhu Cixiang doesn’t know which liar has deceived such a large group of fools!
It’s my birthday, so I have to forgive you?
Doesn't this mean that I hired you to do whatever you want?
Previously, as many as tens of thousands of felons were detained in various places. Zhu Cixiang ordered all localities to send all felons to Beidu.
Everyone knew what this meant, so the family members of repeat offenders immediately panicked.
They did not wait for amnesty, but they waited and were directly executed.
Since Zhu Cihong was put in charge of the country, it seems that only one person can come out smoothly after entering Beidu after killing people, and that is Zhang Xianzhong!
Those who were taken to Beidu basically had only one head left in the end, because their bodies had been delayed...
After the emperor opened Chrysostom, it would be impossible for the family members of the repeat offender to save him.
Even if his wife and children take desperate risks, they will die. Can Zhu Cixiang let these things go?
Aren't you the ones who violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, disrupted local order, and harmed the interests of the people?
After pardoning you, how about waiting for you to rebel in the end?
The felons who are taken to Beidu will not be executed immediately. Dali Temple will also review them to ensure that there are no wrongfully accused persons.
During this period, many family members of felons wanted to use money to bribe relevant personnel in the hope of turning their family members into wronged persons.
It is true that some family members succeeded, and the silver coins in the boxes were indeed useful. As the saying goes, money can make a fool of himself.
But Zhu Cixi can also identify it, and the method is very simple.
Just check the family's criminal background through the local factory guards. If the factory guards dare to cover up, they can come in to fill the hole.
Is it possible that the family has been living in a fish and meat village all year round, and yet the suspect is still unjustly accused?
It would be better not to investigate. After the investigation, it is not uncommon for the whole family to be arrested.
Don’t they want to minimize the big issue?
Zhu Cixiang prescribes the right medicine and works in the opposite direction!
It seems that many people have completely forgotten how a certain emperor made his fortune.
How can we arrest the entire family in a reasonable and reasonable manner and still impose harsh sentences?
This is also very simple. Think about the past dynasties, what are the emperors most afraid of?
Just one word - rebellion!
Hiding ordnance, arming servants, buying off officials, and colluding with rich gentry are basically what every local snake will do.
Next, the factory guard followed the trend and imitated his handwriting to write several letters about the uprising to and from his small group.
This means that people and people have both stolen goods, and they can be caught in one fell swoop.
Unlike later generations, the local factory guards did not dare to tip off the news because of the company system!
The suspect ran away, the factory guards convicted him, the family members ran away, and the factory guards and their family members convicted him!
The factory guard ran away with the suspect, and the army was dispatched to arrest him!
Most of the army generals were disciples of the emperor, and they were not stupid enough to give up their generous salaries and run away on their own.
After the Annan War, a large number of combat troops have returned to the mainland for repairs.
There were garrisons in every province keeping an eye on the situation. Even if the factory guards had second thoughts, they did not dare to make any mistakes and could only continue to be the emperor's hawks.
Once those guys who were brothers to him at the drinking table were recognized by the emperor as rebels, they would have to be incompatible with him.
After some local snakes sensed danger, they did not dare to compete with factory guards or even the army locally. They also knew that they could not defeat the opponent, so they had no choice but to run away.
Cars are faster than horses and can travel farther, so they are very suitable for running.
But in front of an airplane, this means of transportation is completely unsatisfactory.
If the factory guard's vehicle team cannot stop the fugitive's vehicle, then the factory guard can dispatch a helicopter to arrest him.
As long as the opponent runs along the road, they will definitely not be able to outrun the factory guard's helicopter.
There are checkpoints along the highway, and steel barriers are used as roadblocks to block traffic.
If he had really boarded the ship and the merchant ship had left the dock and entered the deep sea, Zhu Cixiang could still dispatch the warship.
After installing a hangar on an ocean-going warship, the navy can easily use ship-based helicopters to arrest suspects.
Warships and merchant ships do not need to get very close, and there is no need to dispatch speedboats to pass by.
Even if a commercial ship does not have a helicopter landing platform, Marines can rappel from the helicopter to the deck.
The sailors of merchant ships naturally have to be obedient. If they dare to resist, the result will be rebellion.
Even if it is a foreign merchant ship leaving the Ming Dynasty's home port, the captain will be very cooperative with the Ming army's inspection.
Otherwise, this ship, its captain, and its owner would not be able to engage in trade with the Ming Empire.
In this regard, Zhu Cixiang has always adopted a zero-tolerance strategy.
No foreigner will be allowed to cover the criminals of Ming Dynasty, otherwise there will be no plan to make money from Ming Dynasty.
Last year alone, as many as forty-five foreign merchant ships were inspected by Ming warships at sea.
Of course, there were also those who refused to cooperate with the inspection, hoping to return to the mainland by virtue of their status as foreign merchant ships after accepting the silver coins sent by the fugitives.
Ming warships will not directly sink one or more fugitives. According to relevant regulations, they will directly report the incident to the relevant embassy or consulate.
If the ambassador or consul still delays deliberately, Zhu Cihong can use this matter to hit a certain head of state during the summit.
Whether the other party thinks there is a future for harboring Ming's fugitives, or whether he thinks it is better to remain an ally with Ming, it all depends on his own free will...
Anyway, Zhu Cixi doesn't accept nonsense like "give me face", let alone the so-called reasons or excuses!
Who the hell do you think you are in front of the global hegemon? ? ?
If you dare to protect a fugitive, you are openly going against me!
Although the current alliance is the result of everyone's joint efforts, Zhu Cixiang does not give a single word of treatment, nor can he directly kick out a duplicitous ally.
But it is completely possible to withdraw from this alliance and reorganize a new alliance. By then, it will be impossible for a country to join again.
Once the Ming Empire withdraws from the alliance, countries that have extremely close relations with the Ming Dynasty, such as the Ottomans, Incas, Kimchi, Japanese, and Siam, will definitely follow suit immediately.
The rest is the European group. Whether they follow Louis XIV or choose to withdraw, Zhu Cihong does not need to worry.
It was Leopold's son Joseph who dared to offend the Ming Empire and offend Zhu Cihong!
Although this man was not yet the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, he was just the crown prince, but he was very dissatisfied with the Ming Empire's favoritism towards Ottoman.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of sheltering fugitives from the Ming Empire, not only can you make quick money, but you can also take the opportunity to remind this unscrupulous Eastern country not to continue to infringe on the interests of the empire!
This kind of behavior has intensified in recent years due to the Annan War. Perhaps the other party felt that the Ming Empire was already trapped in the quagmire of war.
Zhu Cixiang had previously entrusted the ambassador to the Holy Roman Empire to request the other party to bring in the fugitives, but he was rejected by the other party for various reasons.
Joseph did this, but he must have been instructed by Leopold, and it was impossible for him not to know about it, because the Ming ambassador had already explained the situation to his face.
At this summit, Zhu Cixiang no longer needed to give the other party a chance to think, and announced that he would directly withdraw from the previous alliance and then form a new alliance.
This new alliance is completely dominated by the Ming Empire. Anyone who wants to join must obtain Ming's consent in advance, and Ming has the right to kick away any member state!
When the shocking decision reached the ears of many heads of state, everyone looked extremely shocked because they had no idea about it in advance.
Even Ibrahim and Poirot complained that Zhu Cihong did not notify them in advance, which was a bit too sudden.
A certain emperor disagreed with this, because this decision did not harm the interests of the two countries.
It's just a change of alliance, nothing more. The relationship and cooperation with Ming will not change at all.
Zhu Cixiang's purpose in doing this was to kick the Holy Roman Empire away!
The new alliance will definitely not accept this country's membership, and a series of chain reactions will occur.
Is it worth catching a bunch of fugitives?
Of course it’s worth it!
This is not only related to the face of the Ming Empire, but also reflects the current international relations.
Zhu Cixiang wanted to see who else would dare to go against him besides a certain Roman Empire!
This time Leopold also came with Joseph. Subject to the previous heads of state who chose to execute criminals in their own countries, he was forced to do so, but he was very disgusted in his heart.
Influenced by his son, Leopold increasingly felt that the Ming Empire's support for Ottoman was far greater than the help it gave to its own country.
The emperor of the Ming Empire became more and more like an exposed emperor who controlled his allies and harmed their interests. His ambitions had no limits at all!
The son is right. As long as this exposed king is still alive in the world, the Holy Roman Empire will never be able to regain Hungary.
But on the other hand, Leopold also needed elixirs and trade with the Ming Empire to develop his country's economy.
Once the assassination of the Emperor of the Ming Empire was exposed, it would bring unreasonable disaster to himself and the empire.
Unless the murderer was killed immediately after the assassination was successful, he would probably not be able to bear the torture of the Ming Empire and would choose to confess.
Leopold himself did not dare to do it, and certainly would not allow Joseph to act without authorization.
The great national power and military power of the Ming Empire are there. Even if this emperor dies, his successor will probably not let him go.
At the same time, Leopold believed that as long as the Ming Empire was not offended on major issues, there was nothing wrong with harboring some suspects to make money.
What's more, the other party has no evidence to prove that these people are criminals. At most, they are just Nan Min who ran away from the Ming Empire!
The father and son never expected that Zhu Cihong would propose withdrawing from the alliance at this summit.
The Ming Empire is the leader of the alliance. Once the alliance is launched, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction.
This is a decision, not a proposal, so the heads of state do not even have the opportunity to retain or advise.
When signing the contract to join the alliance, it was explained that countries are free to come and go, but they only have one chance. Once launched, they will never be able to enter.
Now that the Ming Empire has withdrawn from the alliance, I'm afraid it has no plans to come in again.
Later, Zhu Cixi announced that he would start anew and form a world alliance!
Kimchi was the first to express his immediate withdrawal from the original alliance and decided to join the World Alliance.
Japan was second, and the Tokugawa general was very upset at not grabbing the first position.
Siam, which was always under military threat from Burmese king Zhu Cihuan, was the third to join, otherwise it would automatically lose Zhu Cihuan's protection.
The Ottomans, Incas, and Persia followed closely, and the new alliance suddenly had six member states.
On the contrary, European countries responded relatively slowly, and heads of state held consultations at the French embassy.
The Ming Empire withdrew with a group of vassals, which gave Louis XIV a good opportunity.
The alliance also includes France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Venice, Denmark, the Holy Roman Empire, Prussia-Brandenburg and other member states.
If Portugal, Britain, and Spain in Africa are added to the alliance, the alliance will have more than ten member states, which is no worse than the newly formed alliance of the Ming Empire.
However, doing so would be tantamount to forming two major military groups, which would openly compete with the Ming Empire.
One thing that the heads of state feared was the military power of the Ming Empire, and the other was the supply of elixirs.
When people get older, only a very small number of them want to die.
The more power you have, the less you want to die.
Everyone hoped to continue drinking the elixir, and did not want to go against the emperor of the Ming Empire, let alone become the enemy of the Ming Empire.
At the same time, Zhu Cixiang also improved the treatment of the Zheng Group. Now that they have become vassal kings, they can move to the next level.
In the past, Zhu Cihong would speak for him, but now he can let Zheng and his son play with him.
The new alliance also absorbed the country of Fujian, the Zheng vassal state.
Zhu Cixiang's purpose in doing this is to increase his voice in the alliance.
Since Zheng Zhilong was a king with a different surname, the Western Region he controlled was naturally different from other vassal states in the Ming Dynasty.
It seems that it is also under the governance of the Ming Empire, but it is actually one big family and two small families.
It's just that the relationship between Zheng Chenggong and the emperor himself far exceeds that of other vassal states, especially their military cooperation.
Originally, "Min" could also be called "Western" or "Southern", but Zheng Zhilong insisted that he and his fellow villagers were all from Fujian.
He came from Fujian. Even if he moved to Africa, he would still speak Min language and would not become a Westerner.
