Hou Xun resigned and Chen Zhi took office. The whole process went very smoothly. After all, everyone has already made plans a long time ago, and the corresponding handover work has actually been ongoing.
Chen Zhi has been the deputy cabinet minister for many years, and is not unfamiliar with the work of the prime minister. Compared with Hou Xunlai, he has no traditional temperament at all and is a completely enterprising new generation.
It can be said that Chen Zhi is a politician completely trained by Zuo Menggeng. Apart from his initial status as a scholar, he did not have much connection with the culture of the old era.
This led to his thinking when looking at things to be completely on the same track as Zuo Mengeng, and he fully accepted Zuo Mengeng's ideas.
The Legislative Council will never cause trouble in this kind of matter. After a happy review, it was submitted to Zuo Menggeng for approval.
With the approval of the emperor Zuo Menggen, Chen Zhi's status as Prime Minister of the Cabinet will be officially effective.
Hou Xun felt a lot more relaxed after having his heavy burden lifted off him. After all, being in charge of such a large country for more than ten years, with a vast territory of tens of thousands of miles, consumes an extremely huge amount of human energy.
He is over sixty years old and is really not equipped to take on such a job.
"Although I have been an official for many years, I have always been in the Central Plains and have never been to the frontiers. This trip to Danmaxi can be regarded as a way to experience the exotic customs." Old man Hou Xun chatted like a teenager, and everyone saw him off. , boarded the ship to Danmaxi.
One can imagine the shock caused by the arrival of a man who once served as the Prime Minister of the Imperial Cabinet in Southeast Asia.
This also made Dan Maxi quickly become impregnable and people's hearts were stable. Before this, although this place was developing rapidly, as far as the eye could see, it was surrounded by foreign countries.
The Han people are afraid of making money here because they are afraid that one day the aliens will attack and destroy them. After all, the empire has limited troops here and can only maintain the waterway in front of them.
Moreover, for hundreds of years, the Han people who traveled to Southeast Asia never received any support from the mainland. Therefore, when they were wandering abroad, they were always worried and fearful.
it's good now. The former imperial prime minister and prince came to serve as the governor of Danmaxi, which is enough to show that the empire attaches great importance to this place.
Even though the number of troops here has not increased, everyone knows that if anyone dares to covet it, they will wait for the mighty army of the empire to come and kill him.
All forces in Southeast Asia also attach great importance to Hou Xun's arrival. King Pasakthorn of Siam even rushed to Tammasik in person, showing Siam's loyalty and closeness to the empire.
"Currently, the empire's second trade team heading to Europe is about to depart, and the accompanying goods are of great value. If Siam wants to accompany them, they can prepare now." Siam's goodwill was rewarded by Hou Xun.
Everyone in Siam was delighted when they heard that the empire allowed them to follow the trade, but they were also embarrassed.
"His Royal Highness King Yu doesn't know. It is really an honor for us in Siam to be cared for by our country. However, our Siamese ships cannot travel far across the sea. I am afraid that we will let down the love of our country." A great opportunity to make money is here. In front of me, but unable to grasp it, everyone in Siam wanted to cry without tears.
This problem is not a problem for Hou Xun.
"You can definitely rent a ship from the empire, or you can use the income from ocean trade to pay for the purchase of the ship. I can approve it here." The method proposed by Hou Xun not only made the Siamese extremely happy, but also the other Southeast Asian countries. But my heart is moved.
Over the years, they have watched the empire's merchant ships running around and making a lot of money. How could they not be jealous?
However, the shipbuilding technology is not good and the sea power is insufficient, but they can only stare at it. Now the empire has actually started selling large sea ships to them, so what are you waiting for?
As a result, within a month of arriving in Danmaxi, Hou Xun brought back orders for more than 300 Galen merchant ships of various types, worth more than four million taels of silver.
Among those waiting to see Hou Xun, the Burmese people suffered the most. They had misjudged the situation and blindly supported the Can Ming court. As a result, they were severely taught a lesson by the empire using force.
It was not until Mangbai launched a coup with the support of the princes and nobles and surrendered to the empire that the danger of annihilation of the country was avoided.
But what happens next, with the arrival of Hou Xun, the decision-making power is all in his hands.
"Now that the traitors of Can Ming are still living in Myanmar, they are always a hidden danger to the empire. If Myanmar wants to be favored by the empire, you must show your sincerity." The Burmese envoy said quickly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will capture the rebels of Can Ming immediately. Let the superior country deal with you." Hou Xun said nothing, his cold eyes were like a poisonous tongue, which made the Burmese envoy feel like a thorn in his back.
He suddenly understood, but he did not dare to say anything. He quickly returned to the country and reported the empire's attitude to Mang Bai.
Mang Bai was also a little anxious at this time. Although he became king through a coup, he also chose to surrender to the empire.
However, under the impact of the empire, the authority of the royal family was greatly damaged. Myanmar was originally a country with many hills and mountains, each doing its own thing. Nowadays, various places do not take the royal family seriously.
He wanted to pacify the local emperors everywhere, but the unclear attitude of the National Defense Forces made him dare not act rashly.
Now the messenger finally brought the exact request, and Mang Bai was also a ruthless master. After he gave his orders, the Can Ming court was in trouble.
These days, Emperor Yongli, Mu Tianbo, Sun Kewang and others are having a very bad time. They experienced many twists and turns and fled several times. As a result, all the wealth they brought with them was exhausted.
When they arrived in Myanmar, the Myanmar people showed no respect to them and did not even provide them with food.
The imperial court of the Ming Dynasty was sitting on nothing and was at the end of its rope. Many people have quietly fled, returned to the country, or surrendered to the National Defense Forces.
The Can Ming court was forced to move many times for fear of being traced by the National Defense Forces. But after such hardships, their lives became increasingly difficult.
Even Emperor Yongli was starting to starve, and the situation was understandable. But they didn't know that under Hou Xun's hint, their end had come.
Burmese officials led a large number of troops into the residence of the Canming court and arrested them all without giving them a chance to react.
Sun Kewang was unruly and had a premonition of danger, so he quickly led his subordinates to resist. However, due to long-term hunger, there were not many of his subordinates left. As a result, under the siege of the Burmese, all their heads were missing.
Seeing the blood everywhere, Emperor Yongli and Mutianbo trembled.
"Is the King of Burma going to disregard ethics and hand us over to the traitors?" The Burmese officials turned a deaf ear to their accusations and just made a casual gesture.
The Burmese soldiers rushed forward with knives in their hands, grinning ferociously. On this day, the blood in the barren mountains was so high that even the nearby rivers were completely dyed red.
None of the people who fled with Emperor Yongli, Mu Tianbo, Sun Kewang and others were spared and were all massacred.
The heads of Emperor Yongli, Mu Tianbo, and Sun Kewang were put in boxes and quickly sent to the National Defense Forces by the Burmese.
The absurd Ming Dynasty regime, the last afterglow of the Ming Dynasty, finally dissipated in the endless rainforest of Myanmar.
