"Okay, I just said that I would go back to have a meal, but after wasting such time, your mother should be anxious; besides, you have to go to Prince An's Mansion after dinner, let's go back." As he said this, Yun walked out. Qianqing Palace. Yunzhi, Miner and Wenyuan quickly followed.
After dinner that day, Wenyuan went out of the palace to visit Prince An Zhu Ying. Zhu Ying was already asleep, and Wenyuan could only comfort Princess Xu Mengyu with kind words. Xu Mengyu was very sad, not only because her husband was dying, but also because she had no son. Not even a concubine. What would Zhu Ying do if she couldn't afford to fall ill?
Of course Wen Yuan could tell what his grandmother was worried about, but his father wouldn't let him say it, so he could only hold back. He said a few words to brothers Xu Huizu, Xu Yingxu, and Xu Zengshou who came to visit, and left. Prince An returned to the palace.
In the end, Zhu Ying still couldn't survive this test, and more than 80% of the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital failed to save him. After sleeping for more than ten days in a row, he only woke up a quarter of an hour before he died. Prince An's Mansion All members were in plain clothes and hung up white flags.
However, at this time, there was already someone who broke the pot in Prince An's palace. Two days before Zhu Ying's death, without Zhu Ying's knowledge, Princess Xu Mengyu came forward and Wen Yuan was adopted as his grandson.
However, even if Zhu Ying himself was still sober at the time, he would not object. Of course, he would not be willing to have no one to offer incense after his death, and would be willing to adopt an offspring; Zhu Ying himself has no brothers from the same mother, which means that he is the same as all brothers. Far and near, Wen Yuan was considered his nephew, so he was indeed one of the most suitable candidates.
Xu Miaojin was also willing. She didn't want the third sister to be lonely from now on. It would be better to have a child. But she originally thought that Wen Yuan could inherit the throne of King An, but she still only named him the county king, which made her a little unhappy. But Xu Huizu was not happy. He thought this was a good thing. Since the grandson of the Xu family could not be emperor, having too high a title was not a good thing. What he cared about was whether Wen Yuan could go overseas and get a title, or whether he could just hang around in the capital and wait to die like Zhu Ying.
In this regard, Yun gave a clear answer: If Wen Quan is willing to be sealed overseas when he reaches adulthood, he can go overseas. After learning Yun's attitude, Xu Huizu began to think about where to let Wen Quan go before Zhu Ying's Qiqi was over. After repeated consideration, he decided that India was the first choice. If he did not grant another vassal title in India, he would go to Australia, and then Hanzhou. Since Wen was already destined to study astronomy in the capital, the fiefdom was handed over to the prime minister sent by the imperial court. In charge, Xu Huizu decided to use all the power of the Xu family to help Wenquan with all his strength.
However, Wenxuan was only five years old at this time, so it was too early to be sealed. It was still too far away; the government and the public were paying the most attention to Gezhiyuan. After the appearance of the train, even the most stubborn people had to admit the importance of science and technology. , no longer mentioned that Gezhiyuan was "wasting money on food and salary", and all agreed to increase the funds allocated to Gezhiyuan. Some officials who grew up under the influence of Yun's "New Confucianism" Mingli sect even proposed to resume the imperial examinations in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the case of multiple subjects, a new subject was set up called "Gezhi". However, this proposal was rejected. People who study science must really like it. If the imperial examination subject is set up, a bunch of Jinshi or Imperial College entrance exams will be recruited. Official fanatics who cannot pass the test are harmful rather than helpful to scientific research.
This proposal was rejected, and the officials didn't care. After all, the probability of success was very small from the beginning, and there was no further failure; but they were very concerned about another matter and reacted fiercely. As a woman, Min'er
Although she is a princess, how can she be in charge of Gezhiyuan? Although she is wearing the vest of her husband Zhang Xuexi, everyone is not stupid. It is obvious who holds the real power at a glance. Everyone came to remonstrate against this matter.
Of course Yun ignored it, and was still a little puzzled: "Yunzhi and Wuji were first together one of the three governors of India, and now they are also in charge of Beiping Prefecture and Xuanfu Town. Why do you turn a blind eye and only stare at Min'er?"
'But no matter why the civil servants acted like this, he would not give in on Min'er's taking charge of Gezhiyuan. The civil servants tried to remonstrate for a while, but when they saw no response from the palace, they could only stop and admit the reality.
At the same time, the transformation of Japan was also being carried out secretly. Wenyuan returned to Ribanyuan as deputy envoy, openly watching every move of Japan, and preparing to take action when the opportunity arose.
Zhu Hengshi, who has become the Minister of the General Logistics Department of the Ming Dynasty and one of the members of the Zhuque Pavilion meeting in the Metropolitan Governor's Office, is naturally involved in the plan. Yun has promised him that if the plan succeeds, he will be restored to his original status as a Japanese royal family and let him
His grandson became the king of Japan. Faced with such temptation, Zhu Hengshi certainly tried his best to plan for Wenyuan.
Another member of the former Ming Dynasty Fanguo clan who was involved in the matter was also very happy to participate. Li Yuancheng, 45 years old, was the Zuo Shilang of the General Staff at this time and was responsible for planning the battle plan to send troops to Japan when necessary. He may be the original
Thinking that his own country would be ruined and that he would not let other countries have an easy time, he devoted himself to thinking about the plan to fight Japan, and made modifications at any time according to the changes in Japan.
After ten years of planning, Fumigaki finally got his chance. Thirty years after his founding, Ashikaga Yoshimochi died of illness. His son had been dead for three years before his death, so there was an urgent need to find an heir after his serious illness; but Ashikaga Yoshimochi
For some unknown reason, he refused to appoint a successor. After discussion, the ministers decided to select the new general by drawing lots at Ishikimizu Hachimangu Shrine. After Yoshimichi's death, his four younger brothers Ii Yoshinari, Daikakuji Yoshiaki, and Tozan
Eitaka and Yoshitaka drew lots at Ishikimizu Hachimangu Shrine. The ministers believed that the drawing of lots represented God's will and was the most just way. The final candidate drawn was Yoshitaka.
However, if Yoshitaka inherits the position of shogun, it will violate many of Japan's rules, so many people are opposed to it. The situation in Japan is very unstable.
Historically, Yoshioka changed his name twice, and it took more than a year to officially confer the title of General to conquer the barbarians, and the situation in Japan stabilized. But in this time and space, Fumigaki would not give him a chance to stabilize the situation, and took advantage of King Yongan of Yokohama.
The Kanto daimyo who were won over by Zhu Mengjiong and the fourth generation Kamakura Duke Ashikaga Mochi successfully overthrew the shogunate and deposed Yoshioka.
But Fumigaki deliberately weakened the authority of the Ashikaga Mochi clan, so that Japan could never be stable. After a few years, he believed that the time was completely ripe, and restored Zhu Hengshi to the Southern Dynasty prince status, and ordered the Kanto daimyo to support the original Prince. After another battle
After the war, the Ashikaga Mochi clan was defeated and committed suicide, and Tsunemi became the ruler of Japan.
But he died of illness within a few months after seizing power in Japan, and his eldest son was killed in the previous war. So Hengshi's eldest grandson Mu Ren, who was only sixteen years old, inherited his position. Mu Ren grew up in Ming Dynasty.
Deeply influenced by the Confucian teachings of the Ming Dynasty, he believed that the Ming Dynasty was so powerful that it was natural to surrender completely to the Ming Dynasty, and it was also a good thing for Japan. Mutsuhito completely abolished the emperor, appointed himself king, reformed Japan's system, and moved closer to the Ming Dynasty. However, Japan's tradition
The power is very strong, and it is impossible for him to make Japan the same as the Ming Dynasty for a while.
But this is enough to make Yun and Wenyuan very happy. As long as the reform starts, it is a good thing; as for the slow progress, it is nothing. When dealing with Japan, Wenyuan will have the patience to deal with Nanyang, and it will take three generations to completely digest it.
All the civil servants and generals who participated in the transformation of Japan were also rewarded. Among them, Li Yuancheng was awarded the title of viscount, the first-grade prince and Taibao, and later served as the governor of the Grand Governor's Palace, a very popular minister. And after his death, he was posthumously granted the title of earl.
As a first-grade Taibao, Yun also issued an edict to allow his son's generation to ascend to the nobility without being demoted.
The treatment Li Yuancheng received greatly reduced the resistance of the Ming Dynasty in turning the Nanyang Kingdom into a vassal state. As the former prince of the Annan Kingdom, Li Yuancheng had to surrender to the Ming Dynasty after the country was destroyed. The Ming Dynasty actually treated him equally and made him a most respected minister.
There were also nobles and nobles mixed in, which made most of the monarchs of the Nanyang Kingdoms choose to accept the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty ordering them to submit or give up the throne, speeding up the pace of pacifying Nanyang.
While successfully transforming Japan, Yun Zhi's strategy against Mongolia has also made great progress. As she said to Tong Yun of the Tianjin Shipping Department many years ago, while actively preparing for war, she will attack any Mongolians who dare to invade Xuanfu Town.
, even if they just want to grab an iron pot, they will be treated harshly; but at the same time, they also encourage the craftsmen in Xuanfu Town and Beiping Prefecture to turn to the woolen textile industry and other Mongolian-related industries, and set up several small workshops with a few households to compete with the Mongolians.
Mongolians do business. Of course, Yunzhi did not forget to promote the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in the Mongolian grasslands. After applying to Xiang Yun, Yunzhi actually became the Ming Dynasty's "Minister of Plenipotentiary Affairs for Mongolian Affairs". In addition to not being able to command Xuanfu Town, Peiping
The army outside the government, and all matters related to the Mongols were under her control.
Yunzhi actively contacted the lamas in the Mongolian grassland, provided money and building materials to build temples, and even 'believed' in Tibetan Buddhism in order to reasonably fund the construction of temples. After two generations of efforts by Yunzhi and her successors, the grassland was successfully restored.
Most of the tribes in the Ming Dynasty believed in Tibetan Buddhism and no longer opposed the Ming Dynasty, and the wool and other trades were completely stable. After a few decades, the city of Kulun was built on the Mongolian grassland, and a road was built from Xuanfu
The railway connected to Kulun, marking that the Mongolian grassland officially became part of the Ming Dynasty.
When the Oros finally annexed most of the khanates resulting from the split of the Golden Horde and came to Siberia, they could no longer move eastward after arriving in Krasnoyarsk. They had already built a railway near Lake Baikal so that the Ming Dynasty could
It was a hundred times easier than the Oros to mobilize troops to defeat them. Later, the vassal state established by Wenyuan's second son with Karaganda as its capital completed the capitalist reform and fought northward against the Oros, killing more than a hundred of them.
All the strongholds established one after another in 2007 were occupied, and the Ural River and the Ural Mountains were the boundaries with the Oros people.
However, the vassal state of Wenyuan's second son was not the most powerful Han vassal state west of the Central Plains. After Shang Bing's Qin vassal occupied the Amu Darya and Syr Darya river basins, it did not march into Persia. Instead, it only attacked powerful countries that emerged from time to time.
Occupying the land of Persia, he crossed the Caspian Sea and captured the Volga River and the lower reaches of the Don River, gaining the outlet of the Black Sea. Although the new shipping route was already known to everyone at this time, the Suez Canal had also been opened, and most merchant ships passed through the canal.
Going to the east, the Mediterranean Sea is still the economic center of Fu. The Qin vassal did business with the Fu country, developed its own economy, and became the most powerful vassal state west of the Central Plains, and at one time the most powerful among all vassal states.
Science is also progressing. Wen Luo and Wen thoroughly verified the law of universal gravitation and concluded that 'any two objects in nature are attracted to each other. The magnitude of the gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects and twice the distance between them.
Inversely proportional to the second power'; they also discovered electric current while studying the causes of lightning and other weather conditions, and verified that the lightning in the clouds has the same electrical properties as those produced by friction. Although they did not study in depth because they were only obsessed with astronomy, they also
He made a huge contribution to the study of electricity by later scientists.
But while the Ming Dynasty was flourishing, Yun was also getting older day by day. Finally, his end came.
