Sun Shiyi returned to Hangzhou with Zhu Daohua's promise.
As for how he is going to unite these 70,000 to 80,000 regiments and make everyone believe that they go to India to be masters and not cannon fodder.
That's Sun Shiyi's ability.
Can you be the British Duke?
It depends on whether Sun Shiyi can lead these 70,000 to 80,000 people to gain a foothold in India and open up the channel from Bangladesh to the middle and upper reaches of the Cross River Basin - as long as he can suppress the British power in South India and turn the wealthy North India into A dumping ground for Ming products.
With this credit.
It is a sure thing for him, Sun Shiyi, to be the Duke of this country.
So after getting the promise of "confessing a country in a different place and a title at home". ,
Sun Shiyi's motivation also increased.
The Sun family in Jiaxing also has thousands of family members to arrange.
Half of them go abroad and half stay in China. If everyone wants to have a good future, it all depends on his efforts.
The extent of his efforts determines how noble his descendants will be.
The ancestors of the Chinese aristocrats who later walked birds in ladder cages in Delhi.
Now he is preparing to embark on an expedition to India that Sun Shiyi has regretted all his life - without him, conquering a densely populated foreign country thousands of miles away is definitely not as light-hearted as Zhu Daohua said.
It was all made with one step, one tear, one step, one blood, one step, one knife!
Arrangements have been made for the Zhejiang team training and even the Fujian team training.
Zhu Daohua and his Ming court began to be busy with the matter of ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.
After all, except for Sichuan and parts of Hubei.
The Ming Dynasty basically had everything south of the Yangtze River.
There are one-third of the world's land, two-thirds of the world's population, and maybe three-quarters of the world's wealth.
Have this capital.
Of course, it is time to have enough strength to sacrifice to heaven, change the origin, and ascend the throne as emperor.
Moreover, it has been three years since Zhu Daohua launched his army in Nanyang.
The civil servants and generals who followed him all looked forward to being rewarded together when Zhu Daohua ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
The second year after the Ming Dynasty was restored.
October 1, 1792 AD, the eighth day of the ninth lunar month.
On this day, Zhongying Tianfu was decorated with new colors.
The sun and moon flags are hung high on the trees on both sides of the Qinhuai River.
The road from the Ming Dynasty Palace to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum on Purple Mountain is also a post every ten steps. A brigade of soldiers stood on both sides of the road with their heads held high.
It turns out that many of the walls of Jiangning City have been demolished.
Many tall camphor trees have been transplanted to both sides of the road, giving it a new look.
Starting a few days ago.
The residents of Zhongdu know that.
Their emperor Zhu Daohua will lead the civil and military officials to worship Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty today, worship heaven and earth, and ascend the throne as emperor.
And it is different from the previous Qing Dynasty.
This new rule is much more relaxed for the people.
For the first time in history, people were even allowed to watch on both sides of the road.
It is said that there will be a grand military parade, and the emperor himself will ride through Guangfu Road to review the three armies.
Being able to see the Emperor with your own eyes is really a rare thing for the common people of this era, and it can even be something that can bring people glory.
Therefore, today's Yingtian Mansion can be said to be empty.
The queue to watch the excitement stretched all the way to the entrance of Xiaolingwei.
They were waiting for Zhu Daohua to come out of the original Liangjiang Governor's Office, looking forward to seeing Long Yan.
"Shouldn't our Yingtian Mansion be the Southern Capital? Why did it become the Central Capital?"
"Don't you know this? Because now the capital of Nanyang is Guangzhou. The emperor originated from Nanyang and controls the interests of Nanyang. Naturally, he will set up his capital in Guangzhou to firmly control Nanyang trade."
"Then with Zhongdu and Southern Capital, there must be Northern Capital. Could it be that Northern Capital is Fengyang Mansion?"
Fengyang Mansion is the hometown of Zhu Yuanzhang and the central capital of the former Ming Dynasty.
"How is that possible? That must be the current Beijing city!"
"It seems that the emperor must have the ambition to regain the Central Plains!"
"That's for sure. In the future, our Ming Dynasty may reach Nanyang in the south and Manchuria in the north, spanning thousands of miles. Even the mighty Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty will be far inferior!"
Ordinary people who had recently cut off their braids on both sides of the road couldn't help but puff up their chests when they heard that the Ming Dynasty might become the largest dynasty in history.
For the people of Yingtian Mansion.
Now that Yingtian Mansion has become the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is also a good thing for them.
And compared with the previous Qing Dynasty.
This Ming Dynasty’s speech is much freer.
In the market of Yingtianfu, various newspapers dare to say anything.
Recently I have been debating about "Ming Li".
It was said that the emperor of Ming Dynasty felt that China was sinking twice.
It's all caused by the collapse of rituals and music.
It is necessary to re-create etiquette and argue between Chinese and foreigners.
But how to make this ceremony?
Everyone has different opinions.
Nowadays, the two main factions, the Guangdong faction and the Hunan faction, are debating.
Although the wealth of the gentry and merchants in the Liangjiang region may not be inferior to that of the Cantonese and Hunanese, the literati in the Liangjiang region have not yet had time to gain any status in the new Ming Dynasty.
The words said in this newspaper would definitely have been punishable by words in the Qing Dynasty.
The literary prison of the Qing Dynasty made the literati and Confucian scholars afraid to speak.
The speech field has become so relaxed now.
Everyone can't adapt to it for a while.
Speech has become looser.
The official administration of the Ming Dynasty was much clearer than that of the Qing Dynasty.
Because the Ming Dynasty adopted the policy of "scholars becoming officials", there were no hereditary officials like before.
Every time Ming Dynasty went to a place, a provincial examination would be held there.
Recruit local literati as scholars.
These local talents serve as local officials.
No matter what, I don't dare to let go and bully the local folks - there is oppression, but compared to those cruel officials, the methods are definitely much looser.
In addition, scholars have the hope of promotion, so they will not focus on making troubles with ordinary people.
So for ordinary people, a big mountain weighing on their heads has been removed.
In addition to the clearer management of officials.
For the poor people who have no food and clothing in the land of these two rivers.
It has become easier to survive in this new Ming Dynasty.
First of all, the Ming Dynasty abolished labor service, and the main taxes were commercial tax and land tax. These taxes were not collected by these urban poor.
In addition, businessmen in Liangjiang also began to follow the example of Guangdong and introduced steam engines to set up factories.
The Ming court was also hiring people to build various projects.
The people benefited from it.
And the talents were also brought closer to the system.
Of course he was also saying good things about Ming Dynasty.
All of a sudden.
In Zhongying Tianfu, the rule of the Ming Dynasty seemed to become stable quickly.
While everyone was talking about it.
The Chaotian Gate of the temporary palace in front suddenly erupted into the roar of mountains and tsunamis.
"Long live Long live Long live!"
Everyone put their feet up and stretched their necks to look.
I only saw a man wearing a red dragon robe and a golden winged crown, riding an extremely powerful horse. He was the Emperor of Heaven, Zhu Daohua!
"When the emperor goes out, the people will kneel down on one knee, and the officials and nobles will bow their hands!"
Following the etiquette officer's voice.
The people on both sides of the road knelt on the ground with cheers.
Etiquette is certainly not standard.
Some kneel down on their knees, some kneel down on their left knee, and some kneel down on their right knee.
The etiquette of the Ming Dynasty was really very casual.
"Finally became emperor"
Zhu Daohua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he returned to the palace.
How to conduct the enthronement ceremony.
Especially what to do about Qian Ming’s enthronement ceremony.
The civil and military officials of the new Ming Dynasty could only formulate the enthronement ceremony from the records in historical books.
Even Zhu Daohua deleted a lot of cumbersome etiquette.
In the end, I was very tired.
But after some operations, Zhu Daohua's title has now changed from King Ming to Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor is not the focus for Zhu Daohua.
The focus is on the next "Ming Li"!
So on October 2nd.
On the second day after Zhu Daohua ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
The Rite-making Council will discuss the final draft of the general outline of "The Rites of the Ming Dynasty".
caused the greatest controversy.
This is how this ritual-making meeting will be handled after the general outline of "The Rites of the Ming Dynasty" is finalized.
How are the members of the Council born?
How do provinces allocate quotas?
What are the rights and responsibilities?
Etc., etc., all caused the Guangdong Gang and the Hunan Gang in the Ming Dynasty to fight fiercely.
"The general outline of the "Rituals of the Ming Dynasty" has been established, and the details should be left to the emperor and the cabinet for discussion. There is no need to reserve the rites meeting, lest anyone arbitrarily discuss the government affairs!"
"Yes, major military and political matters of a country are decided by the emperor and executed by the cabinet. How can there be any council to discuss them!"
"People have the right to petition, but it must be restricted. Military and state affairs must not be discussed by the people! In addition, petitions must be carried out step by step, and petitions cannot be made beyond the level!"
"Business power is so important, how can it be dignified? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty did not pay tribute to the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, but shared the world with the merchants? Since ancient times, this has always been the case when the emperor comes to the court and the scholar-bureaucrats assist him!",
"Scholar-bureaucrat? Haha, reading the Four Books and Five Classics means you are a scholar-bureaucrat. Our Ming Dynasty expelled the Manchus and relied on guns and cannons, not the knowledge of scholar-bureaucrats!"
"That's right, what's wrong with the merchants? Are there too few merchants' children in this court?"
"How dare you! You are an unlearned and profiteer, how dare you slander the teachings of saints!"
"Ignorant? I know a lot more than you, an old hat!"
The day after Zhu Daohua became the Ming Emperor.
This glorious tradition of party struggle in the Ming Dynasty seemed to be restored immediately.
In the Imperial City of Zhongdu, the Ceremony Council is located.
Above the lobby.
There was a roar of people.
In addition to the representatives of the provinces.
Officials from the Ming Dynasty's cabinet and various ministries were already present.
Everyone must hold a copy of "The Rites of the Ming Dynasty" with fragrant ink in their hands.
This is not a programmatic "Rites of the Ming Dynasty" with a certain constitutional nature.
It has been discussed since the end of last year until now.
After repeated consultations and arguments.
It is formulated with full consideration of China's current national conditions and the interests of various places.
The future will be based on the "General Outline".
All the rites and laws of Mingli will be formulated within the scope of the general outline.
It can be said to be the systematic "ancestral method" of the new Ming Dynasty.
The people currently arguing are mainly Cantonese and Hunanese - these are also the two largest factions in the Ming Dynasty.
As for the Liangjiang faction.
There are quite a few of them, but they are still a little confused and unclear about the situation.
