"Ah... My head hurts so much", Zhu Chenming woke up from his sleep and murmured, covering his head.
"No, where is this?" Zhu Chenming ignored the pain in his head. The scene around him made him fall into confusion.
I saw him lying on an extremely luxurious bed, wearing a smooth and delicate ancient costume. The fabric on the bed just felt like it was not the kind he could afford.
A majestic five-clawed golden dragon is engraved on the headboard of the bed, and a gorgeous crystal lamp that looks gold-plated hangs from the roof. The surrounding area is filled with a calming aroma.
The whole bedroom revealed two words
luxurious!
"My darling, how much does it cost to get this?" Zhu Chenming said with a shocked look on his face as he touched the golden dragon on the bedside.
"Ah!" A burst of memories flooded into Zhu Chenming's mind. Zhu Chenming felt another sharp pain in his head and passed out.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhu Chen woke up and sat on the bed blankly, his face still full of shock.
"I actually traveled through time? Or am I the emperor?"
The world Zhu Chenming is in now is called Blue Star. The entire world is not much different from the earth in the previous life, except that the world line of this world has been slightly different since 1644.
At that time, the slaves were hunting down the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, from Nanjing to Burma.
After arriving in Myanmar, the Ming Dynasty who stayed behind was still living in uneasiness. The Manchu slave builders have always maintained a high-pressure policy against the remnants of the Ming Dynasty.
More than ten years later, Burma also became a vassal state of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In order not to be discovered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Ming court had to continue to flee towards the west.
It was better to come early than to be lucky. It happened to coincide with the demise of the Mughal Empire and the South Asian subcontinent was in chaos.
A branch of the Zhu Ming clan fled all the way to the southern part of the South Asian Peninsula.
And after more than ten years of hard work, it has gained a firm foothold.
But even if he ran to South Asia, there was a possibility of being discovered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so the emperor at that time changed the name of the country to Ning, just to live a quieter life.
However, the Han people who came here were only a minority, and were regarded as aliens by the locals in South Asia at the time. Various feudal states continued to provoke Daning, and wars continued.
Due to the high-pressure rule of the Qing Dynasty over the Han people, the Daning court established a national policy to continue to absorb Han immigrants, and the Han people gradually became the dominant ethnic group.
Later came the familiar era of maritime colonization. Although Daning was considered a small country, it was not like the Han people in the Manchu Qing Dynasty who were enslaved and lost their blood type.
The unity of the Han people in Daning and the spirit of protecting their homeland and country prevented Daning from becoming a colony of John Bull like the Xiang Kingdom in the north.
Instead, the economy gradually developed based on the spirit of not being afraid of hardship.
It was not until Mr. Sun drove away the Tartars that the then emperor of Daning, Zhu Chenming's grandfather, restored the country's name to Daming.
Later in World War II, the Ming army also fought against the Tiaopanji in Southeast Asia, winning and losing.
Also because of the same clan, the Ming court also continued to provide supplies to the Dragon Kingdom in the east.
After World War II, Ming Dynasty joined the United Nations as a victor as a matter of course.
It's just that during the Cold War, the Ming Dynasty's imperial system did not conform to the ideologies of Mao Xiong and Ying Jiang.
Ming Dynasty, sandwiched between two superpowers, was living an uncomfortable life and was heading downhill.
And now, it was early January 1991, and Zhu Chenming's cheap father Ming Wenzong, whom he had never met, had just left for seven or eight days.
As soon as his son Zhu Chenming ascended the throne, he was possessed by Zhu Chenming who traveled from a distant earth.
I have to mention a digression here. Because this Ming Dynasty clan has been passed down for too long, it has been more than 600 years from Zhu Di to Zhu Chenming.
The twenty-character generation left by Taizu was no longer enough, so descendants no longer named themselves according to that generation. However, the tradition that the last character is metal, wood, water, fire, and earth continues to this day.
Zhu Chenming shook his head, carefully digesting some memories about the Ming Dynasty in his mind.
Over the past few hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has undergone many internal reforms, and the emperor's power has gradually been weakened.
Today's Ming Dynasty's political system is somewhat similar to John Bull but different.
The emperor is still the head of state, head of government, and supreme commander of the army, but most military and political matters are handled by the cabinet and the military aircraft cabinet.
However, it is not that the emperor has no political rights. According to the Ming Dynasty Law, all the rights of the country are still in the hands of the emperor. It is just that modern times are not like ancient times.
There were too many government affairs, and successive emperors gradually handed over most of them to the cabinet and military cabinet.
The cabinet is in charge of government affairs. The chief minister of the cabinet (from the second rank) is appointed by the emperor, and according to convention, all ministers from the fourth rank and above vote for candidates. It is called a cabinet meeting.
The cabinet also has secondary assistants and senior officials, ranging from three to five, who are nominated by the chief assistant and approved by the emperor.
The cabinet is composed of five ministries: the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The chief officer of the department is the third rank of Zhengshu, the adjutant is the third rank of Shilang, and the chief officer of each department is the fourth rank of Langzhong, and the chief officer is the fourth rank of Yuanwailang.
The Military Machinery Pavilion is in charge of military affairs. The Commander-in-Chief of the Military Machinery Pavilion (from the second rank) is appointed by the emperor. According to convention, candidates are voted by generals of the fourth rank and above.
The military department is divided into the Navy Department, the Army Department, and the Air Force Department. As for the missile army, the current Ming Dynasty cannot afford these.
The chief officer of the military aircraft pavilion is the commander-in-chief (second grade), and the adjutants include the chief of staff and the military supervisor. The chief of staff is nominated by the commander-in-chief, and the military supervisor is appointed directly by the emperor. The chief of staff and military supervisor are both of the third grade.
Since the Ming Dynasty had many and extremely complex levels of military commanders in the past, it gradually carried out military reforms since entering modern times.
At present, the remaining departments of the military headquarters are, from top to bottom, commander, corps commander, division commander, brigade commander, regiment commander, battalion commander, company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader.
There are supervisors at the company level and above. The supervisors are at the same level as the chief officer, but they are not allowed to interfere with the chief officer's orders at will and are appointed by the Supervisory Yuan.
Under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor are the Overwatch Council, the Jinyi Guards, the Jinwu Guards, the Royal Forest Army, and the Forbidden Army.
The Supervisory Yuan supervises officials all over the world and is in charge of all supervisory matters. The supervising president is a third-grade official.
Jinyiwei has completely become an intelligence agency, and of course it is also divided into monitoring hundreds of officials and infiltrating foreign countries. The commander of Jinyiwei is the third rank.
Jinwu Guards are responsible for protecting the palace and protecting the emperor. The commander of the Jinwu Guards is of the third rank.
The Imperial Guard Army is responsible for guarding the capital and is composed of the Army Missile Corps. The Commander of the Imperial Guard Army is of the third rank.
The Forbidden Army is the emperor's private army and can be stationed at will across the country as long as it does not unduly interfere with order and production in various places.
The Forbidden Army is under the control of the emperor in peacetime, and all deployments only require the emperor's will. In wartime, it is under the control of the Military Aircraft Pavilion, but only with the emperor's consent. The commander of the Forbidden Army is a third-grade official.
Thinking of this, Zhu Chenming couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his emperor was not like the King of Locusts and John Bull. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty still had very great rights.
However, Zhu Chenming did not relax his vigilance. He had to carefully digest and digest the memories when he had just traveled through time, so as not to make some basic mistakes when facing ministers in the future.
