When Zhu Jingyuan began to seriously fight for his heir, six personal maids, Chunxiang, Qiuyue, Xiaona, Xiaofu, Feiya, and Irene, were all guarding the outside.
According to the rules in the early years, they should have stayed in the room directly.
Handing towels, tools, drinks, etc. to those participating in the event is just a start.
If there is a need for them to help or if there is a need for their cooperation, they can do it immediately, or they can simply participate in the activity directly.
After the Renwu Dynasty, the maids were driven outside the door and could only go in to help when they heard the call from inside the room.
Zhu Jingyuan's first time, although there should be no flowers, there may be surprises.
So they still need to brace themselves and guard in preparation for the call.
An Xiaona and the other four Hu Ji were extremely nervous, Chunxiang was as calm and composed as ever, and Qiuyue was very curious.
After holding it in for a long time, Qiuyue finally couldn't help it and asked Chunxiang next to her in a very small voice:
"Tell me, His Highness, do you need us to go in and help?"
Chunxiang remained as still as a mountain, and two words came out of her mouth:
"Quiet."
Dongmei, the maid in Liang Yunying's room, was also present.
Her mission is not to help, but to collect information and inform Liang Yunying immediately if something happens.
She immediately glared at Qiuyue, who immediately shut her mouth.
An hour later, Dongmei looked at the time, lowered her voice and said:
"It should be fine. You guys can take turns guarding me. I'll report back to the Imperial Concubine.
"If anything happens here, Chunxiang, please send someone to notify me immediately."
Chunxiang also agreed quietly and watched Dongmei leave the room.
Early the next morning, Dongmei came to Zhu Jingyuan's room again and cleaned Zhu Jingyuan's room with Chunxiang and Qiuyue.
After Zhu Jingyuan got up, he took Liu Muyun with him to visit his mother.
After Zhu Jingyuan's guidance in the evening, Liu Muyun became more confident about his height and was obviously no longer so restrained.
She was already in good physical condition and had a lively personality, so minor injuries at night were nothing to her.
After becoming truly intimate with Zhu Jingyuan, it was natural for him not to regard himself as an outsider.
Now the whole person's energy and energy are very good, and there is an aura of contentment.
Liu Muyun officially became a member of the family and met Liang Yunying on an internal family occasion.
Liang Yunying felt a little confused when she saw that her body seemed to be completely fine and her happiness was overflowing.
However, after listening to Dongmei's report and confirming that she didn't ask, she felt relieved and greeted Liu Muyun with a smile on her face without being polite.
Then I gave him a red envelope of two hundred silver notes as a reward, and also gave him two pieces of jewelry.
He also gave two maidservants, both fifteen-year-old Kazuo girls, one named Ying (er) and the other Ju (er).
Liu Muyun felt even more pleased, and thanked her with great energy.
After the meeting, they had a meal, and then Liu Muyun went back to her room to rest. Although she didn't feel it, after all, she had just been injured.
The harem system of emperors and kings in the Ming Dynasty was a combination of "moving out of the imperial palace" and "entering into the imperial palace".
For concubines with titles and exclusive palaces, when the emperor and king needed them, they would go directly to their palaces to eat and spend the night.
The next day, they got up directly from their palace and went to court.
This is "walking around".
Low-level concubines without titles and independent residences would serve in the palaces of the emperor and the king after receiving the emperor's summons.
It depends on the mood of the emperor and king whether they want them to spend the night with him.
This is "Jinyu".
Zhu Jingyuan's only concubine, Liu Muyun, still has a formal title, so of course she has to arrange a separate palace for her.
The current royal palace is regulated by the county prince's palace, but there are still independent courtyards for concubines to live in, but the scale is a bit smaller.
But now it’s so heavy
After the new decoration, living in the small house is very comfortable.
Zhu Jingyuan himself went to the front hall to work.
First look at the news from all aspects.
Lin Zexu, who went to Morocco, sent a formal report.
Delegations from the seven countries of the Great Qinhai including Ming Dynasty, Lucia, Ottoman, Austria, Italy, France and Spain held three rounds of talks with the King of Morocco.
After "thoughtful consideration", the king of Morocco officially decided to accept the joint "protection" of the seven countries of the Great Qinhai.
The seven countries of the Great Qinhai helped Morocco build coastal port cities and helped the King of Morocco train a new type of army.
The entire territory of Morocco is fully open to the seven countries in the Great Qinhai Sea, and all ships and goods from the seven countries are tax-free.
The illegal and criminal acts committed by personnel from the seven countries in the Great Qinhai Sea in Morocco will be dealt with by the envoys of the seven countries in accordance with the laws of the seven countries.
At the same time, all ports allowed Prussian, British, Dutch, and Portuguese fleets to dock for supplies.
The seven countries of the Great Qinhai Sea, as well as Prussia, Britain, the Netherlands, and Portugal, have tried it and promised not to initiate a war with Morocco and to not force Morocco to join any war.
The guarantee will not force Morocco to join treaties with war obligations, and the guarantee will force Morocco to assume any war-related obligations and responsibilities.
Guarantee that they will not be within Moroccan territory, or use Moroccan territory to create armed conflicts or initiate wars.
Even if there is a war going on within each country, the fighting must stop immediately when people enter Morocco.
All countries work together to protect Morocco and ensure that no other country can create armed conflicts and wars in Morocco.
Morocco itself will also guarantee that it will not directly or indirectly participate in any war or assist in any war-related matters.
The Kingdom of Morocco will remain permanently neutral in all wars of any kind.
Zhu Jingyuan was not surprised by the news. It was impossible for Morocco to refuse the protection of the seven countries of the Great Qin Sea.
Although this kind of "protection" is overbearing, it is indeed protection.
If the seven countries do not try to monopolize Morocco, then Morocco will have a certain degree of independence.
It is no longer possible for other countries to invade Morocco.
Especially for the family of the King of Morocco, this kind of protection is as real as steel.
It is no longer possible for the forces in Morocco to overthrow the rule of the King of Morocco under the protection of the seven countries.
As for the complete tax exemption, in the eyes of the Moroccan king and his courtiers, they may feel humiliated.
However, Morocco's land area is limited. Once the country is fully opened, it will become a large duty-free free port.
The fleets of the Ming Dynasty and various countries in Europe and America will basically stop in Morocco for supplies.
The Seven Nations will also build a modern port city for Morocco.
Although Morocco cannot collect taxes, the profits from this kind of trade transit can make the King of Morocco rich.
The seven countries in the Great Qinhai Sea have a demand for Moroccan manpower, allowing Moroccans to earn several times their original wages in the country even if they are just doing odd jobs in the port.
In particular, it was specially arranged by Zhu Jingyuan and designed to be similar to Switzerland's permanent neutrality commitment.
Coupled with the joint compliance and maintenance of the seven countries, it will provide Morocco with a continued and stable political situation.
If Morocco seizes the opportunity, it can become a very wealthy place, and it is possible that it can become the "Switzerland" of this world.
But Zhu Jingyuan felt that Morocco would probably not be able to catch it.
Behind this news is the internal discussion among the seven countries of the Great Qinhai to divide their respective control areas in Morocco.
Morocco is an international free port at the tip of the Strait of Gibraltar.
It is jointly constructed and managed by the seven countries of the Great Qinhai Sea, and allows Britain, the Netherlands, Prussia and Portugal to dock and use it.
It is equivalent to an international concession.
From Gibraltar below, the port areas and spheres of influence belonging to the seven countries of Ming, Lucia, Austria, Italy, France, Ottoman, and Spain are arranged in order, with one horizontal bar for each country.
Spain's is at the southernmost point, connecting it with the original colonies in the south.
Next was Osman, because he also acquired a piece of land in the eastern part of Morocco inside the Great Qin Sea.
It is impossible to merge the two pieces of land, so move them as far apart as possible and use them as two supply points.
Same goes for France.
Daming is at the top, the best place besides the public concession.
Followed by Lucia, Austria, and Italy.
It is conceivable that the seven countries will build different port cities in Morocco according to their own circumstances.
If the colonial system can be disintegrated in the future, Morocco can be completely independent and have the opportunity to receive eight exotic cities of different sizes and styles.
But they probably won't have this chance.
Zhu Jingyuan had no objections to these plans and felt that the division was relatively reasonable.
He responded directly to Lin Zexu, saying that he understood.
In addition, contact the court to start the construction of the local port as soon as possible.
The port in Morocco will become an important base for the Ming Dynasty to travel to the southeast of Yinzhou and Mozhou.
Putting down Lin Zexu's report, Zhu Jingyuan read a few other messages.
Immigrants from the Chief Envoy of Beimozhou arrived one after another, and were escorted by the garrison and moved into the city left by the Barbary pirates.
Although the existing facilities are crude, they are better than nothing, and immigrants can quickly start their normal lives.
What kind of cities and buildings you want, just continue to build them yourself.
But they're not completely safe anymore.
The Ming Dynasty allowed it, and Osman hoped that all the people in Beimozhou could be taken away, but it was obviously impossible to clear them all.
In addition to abandoned old people and young children, there are also adults who deliberately evade arrest and conceal themselves.
Although the local garrison has conducted a wide-net search, it is impossible to completely avoid hiding people in the mountains, forests and ruins.
Immigrants also have to form their own militia to be responsible for daily patrols and ongoing searches.
On the other side, immigrants and troops heading to the eastern part of Mozhou have also arrived.
This area received from the Prussians has a different kind of scenery compared to the residential areas in Beimozhou.
The Prussians have begun to evacuate, but the local indigenous Mexicans will stay.
The vassal state of Mozhou south of the Sahara cannot completely avoid the presence of Mo people, and can only manage them with the most basic rights of residence.
The exploration of the eastern interior of Mozhou in three directions: Northeast Mozhou, Southeast Mozhou, and South Mozhou has also officially begun.
At the League of Nations meeting, most of the one-third of the Mozhou that Ming received was still an indigenous world.
Ming Dynasty requires other countries to maintain control, and Ming Dynasty itself must do the same.
All mapped territories must be conquered within five years.
Then there is news from the Ming Dynasty.
Migrants heading to Morocco and southwestern Mexico have already set off.
Due to the soaring price of Mexican slaves in the United States, most of the Mexican slaves in Yinzhou will be taken away, and they will have no chance to stay and be sent to Mozhou by the Ming Dynasty to build the Mexican vassal state.
The land that Ming Dynasty wanted in the southwest of Mozhou was not only used by the Mo slaves who were preparing to return to Yinzhou, but more importantly, Zhu Jingyuan was interested in the local bauxite mine.
The world's largest bauxite mine is a key material and strategic resource for the aviation industry.
As for things like gold and diamonds, Zhu Jingyuan didn't particularly care.
Without Yinzhou's Mo people returning home group, Ming Dynasty would have to rely mainly on its own immigrants.
There will be no way for the Mo people to build their own country.
These immigrants, like the immigrants in eastern Mozhou, must be armed immigrants.
Immigrants must be escorted by combat troops, and the immigrants themselves must be armed.
These areas and the eastern inland areas of Mozhou not only have indigenous people, but also have primitive indigenous political powers.
Although
The weapons and equipment are very backward, and the organization and discipline are extremely chaotic, but this chaos is also an advantage at some point.
The main force may be able to easily defeat the main force of the local indigenous regime, but their main force is meaningless.
The chaotic armed forces of the middle and lower classes will continue to threaten the lives of Ming immigrants.
Even ordinary natives are generally threatening to a certain extent.
God knows if they have traditions like headhunting or cannibalism.
Therefore, even if there are troops following, ordinary immigrants themselves must be able to use weapons and organize militia to protect the settlements.
