The movement was so loud that even Tang Ruowang didn't speak for a while and turned to see the situation.
"Oh no, that official from Ming Dynasty is leaving!"
Hearing what the missionary said, Tang Ruowang immediately became anxious and quickly urged: "Why are you still hanging around? For the sake of God, can you stop hesitating?"
If they offended the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if the best result was to be expelled, it meant that these missionaries had traveled thousands of miles and risked a near-death career to fail.
If they had just arrived in Ming Dynasty, they might not mind so much. However, people like Tang Ruowang and others who arrived in Daming when they were just adults spent much more time living in Daming than anywhere else. But the result was that they were expelled back without achieving anything, which was really not something they could accept.
Therefore, among all the Western barbarians in the Ming Dynasty, the missionaries were the group that least wanted to fall out with the Ming Dynasty.
Hearing Tang Ruowang's urging, Johnson glanced at the Governor of Macau and saw that he still didn't respond. In the end, he ignored it and immediately rushed out, rushing to chase the Xiangshan County magistrate.
In the end, of course, based on the previous suggestion of the Xiangshan County Magistrate, they first explained that Carlos was from Annan, and Hao Jingao had no knowledge of it beforehand, and then said they were very sorry and willing to accept any punishment from the Ming Emperor. Their original intention , I just want to do business with Daming to make money and have a good relationship with Daming, there is really no other meaning. In order to show sincerity, the wall at Hao King O will also be demolished as soon as possible.
The magistrate of Xiangshan County was very satisfied with this, so he took Carlos back and said he would file a report as soon as possible.
…………
Emperor Chongzhen knew clearly about the situation here through the Class A eavesdropping seeds on Tang Ruowang. The reason why he is open to the Portuguese net is actually not just because the Portuguese are more disciplined towards the Ming Dynasty.
You know, the Portuguese people only followed the rules after being taught a lesson by Ming Dynasty. In essence, these Westerners who went to sea far away from their hometown were actually colonists.
Emperor Chongzhen got the news through the feedback from Tang Ruowang's Class A eavesdropping seeds. He estimated that the reaction of the Portuguese in Haojing'ao was in his estimation, so he made this decision. Otherwise, he would not go through such trouble and directly give Zheng Chenggong a decree, asking him to lead the navy to block Hao Jing'ao, which would be much less laborious than the Dutch who destroyed Taiwan.
At this time, he had led the army back to Kunming. It happened to be raining, so he simply took a rest first, not only to refresh the soldiers' spirits, but also to replenish military supplies.
However, although the army was still in Kunming at this time and had not gone to Annan, there were some things that could be done first.
For example, let Li Ruolian, commander of the Jinyi Guards, send people to detect Annan's terrain and power situation first. This matter does not necessarily need to be done by people from Jinyiwei personally. Instead, people who are familiar with Annan, or simply people from Annan, can learn about it.
Also, Emperor Chongzhen did not wait for Guangdong to report the situation and directly gave his orders to the Portuguese. This was also related to the situation in Annan.
The north-south confrontation in Annan has always existed, and the southern forces, that is, the Nguyen family, are supported by the Portuguese; while the Zheng family in the north is supported by the Dutch; and in name, Annan is the Annan Metropolitan Commander-in-Chief. Moreover, Mo's family was the second rank of the Annan Dutong Envoy. Instead of the two surnames Zheng and Ruan.
At this time, the Mo family was actually lingering on, occupying the Gaoping area of Annan. But most of Annam was already controlled by Zheng Ruan.
In the past, Ming Dynasty did not have the ability to interfere in Annan affairs, so there was no way. Now that the Ming Dynasty has become stronger, even if there is no such thing as the Portuguese, Emperor Chongzhen has already decided to deal with Annan affairs after the Yunnan affairs are over.
Therefore, he also sent a message to Annan. He was very dissatisfied with the situation in the Annan region. Rebels were everywhere and the people were in dire straits. This was because the Annan capital was incompetent, so he decided to abolish the Annan capital envoy department and put it under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, establishing Annan province. The emperor himself will soon personally lead the troops to put down the rebellion.
It can be said that since Yunnan has achieved the transformation of the entire province, it will not be surprising that Annan will eventually implement the same change. However, some people were still surprised by the emperor's tough approach in saying that Mo was incompetent and wanted to revoke Mo's hereditary title.
After all, generally speaking, few emperors in the Central Plains Dynasty would be so tough "on foreign affairs". However, they looked back and thought about it. Today's Ming Emperor has unparalleled martial arts skills. He fights in the north and south. He has no opponent. Even Dongwu was destroyed overnight. It seems reasonable to not give Annan a look.
But they didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen actually didn't want to solve the problem through peaceful means at all. No matter it was the Mo family, the Zheng family or the Ruan family, they didn't want these local snakes to join them.
Annan was owned by the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but later it rebelled against the founding of the country. If there are clan forces that are not uprooted, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble for the Ming Dynasty to directly govern Annan in the future.
The so-called pulling one faction to fight another is only necessary if the strength is not strong. But today's Emperor Chongzhen, to be honest, he really doesn't need to do this!
Annan has been locked in a long-term confrontation between the north and the south. There will be no time for peace, and the people at the bottom will definitely not live a happy and healthy life. In this case, that's when Emperor Chongzhen could use his "nuclear weapons" to uproot the original forces in Annan and distribute all their land to the people of Annan. Let the people of Annan know the true inherent benefits. Even if the original forces in Annan who have slipped through the network want to cause trouble, the people of Annan will probably be the first to refuse.
Something similar to this has already been implemented in Yunnan. The former serfs were all assigned the original chieftain's land. This matter started at the beginning of the year. Even if the news is delayed, I believe it is already spreading to Annan. Let the Jin Yiwei spies add fuel to the flames. I believe that when Emperor Chongzhen leads his troops into Annan, public opinion will be even more based.
Based on these considerations, Emperor Chongzhen rested in Yunnan and was not in a hurry to send troops to Annan. He just wanted to create a situation that was favorable to him before sending troops.
…………
In addition, through the eavesdropping system, Emperor Chongzhen also knew that the heads of the three tribes in Mobei had arrived in the capital, were willing to join the Ming Dynasty, and were waiting for him to return. Also, a very hot topic in the capital today is the crown prince’s selection of concubine and Princess Changping’s marriage.
Although Prince Zhu Cixiang and Princess Changping were only seventeen years old, in later generations, they would have been in high school, but in this era, they were already considered older youths. Even Emperor Chongzhen himself got married when he was fifteen years old.
In the past, when the Jianlu were still alive, Emperor Chongzhen was fighting in the south and north, and had to deal with natural disasters in various places. Although the queen and courtiers mentioned it several times, he ignored it and passed on.
Now, he is already seventeen years old. For people of this era, this age is really too old. Therefore, if Emperor Chongzhen is away from the capital for a long time, the marriage of the prince and Princess Changping will definitely be delayed again. It is said that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is, so someone raised this issue again. Although they couldn't make a decision, if they had a clue, it would be much faster if the emperor made a decision as soon as he returned to Beijing. Therefore, under the leadership of the queen, they were busy with this matter again.
As a soul from later generations, of course I know the dangers of early marriage. Although the ancients matured early, human development is such that no matter how precocious it is, it is impossible for the body to mature enough to meet early marriage. This is probably why later generations would advocate late marriage and late childbearing.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen did not mind using his own sons and daughters as examples to promote late marriage and late childbearing. Of course, he couldn't force too much on the so-called late marriage and late childbearing, but at least until the age of eighteen, this was his bottom line.
…………
During the period of Emperor Chongzhen's rest in Kunming, he actually stayed in Yunnan and personally handled the conversion of the whole province of Yunnan to local rule. In addition, it was also a kind of support for Dongwu.
I have to say that there is a big difference between having the emperor and not having the emperor. Emperor Chongzhen made the decision directly to set an example for anything that happened during the reform. This was not only better than the decision made by Chen Qiyu, but also saved the time delay that some matters had to be reported to him before he could decide.
Therefore, here in Yunnan, it can be said that it is the same every day and is changing every day.
Government-run private schools were established in every county, and school-age children attended school free of charge. Everyone must learn to speak Mandarin and understand Chinese characters. The road from Kunming to Dongwu has been repaired by Dongwu prisoners, and it is used as a main road to radiate to other places in Yunnan to improve the traffic situation in Yunnan Province.
It has to be said that with the emperor here, the road construction resources provided the greatest support. About one-tenth of the Dongwu prisoners died, so that the road could be built as quickly as possible.
Although in later generations, some scholars with Dongwu status criticized this road, at this time, because of the convenience of the road, the people along the way cheered. The support from Donggo has also become more convenient.
Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Dongwu, also lived up to Emperor Chongzhen's expectations. When the rainy season came, he selected soldiers from the tribes that supported the Ming Dynasty for training, and then together with Zheng Chongjian's army, launched an attack on other areas of Dongwu.
It may be because he was so powerful in Dongwu, or it may be because the main force of Dongwu's Toungoo dynasty has been eliminated. Even if his son Pingdali, the son of King Long, was really lucky and fled to the south, he did not bring it to Yan Yingyuan. How much trouble, except for a few areas where the roads are really difficult to walk, are now under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, it is already September.
Feedback from the situation in Annan made Emperor Chongzhen feel that the time was almost up, and the rainy season in Annan ended in October. So, he ordered the entire army to set off and march towards Annan!
