When the time travelers and the power they brought across the sea and took root in Guangdong, the ancient and slow southern country became fast-paced.

The land with the new district as its core is like a whirlpool, attracting the population and resources rolling in from all directions and spitting out various industrial products that transcend the times.

Even the primary industrial age will bring about social changes. Various kinds of goods, new ideas and cultures are always impacting the indigenous people. Just like steam locomotives to sedan chairs, the indigenous people's slow-paced living habits are slowly and firmly accelerated in silence.

Another characteristic of industrial society is "noisy". The originally peaceful Nantian City has become disturbed and restless after that, and its muscles are stronger and full of vitality day by day.

In contrast, the little thing Li Dazui did in Hao Jingao is insignificant. After all, there is no Internet these days, and everything that is far from the core area is difficult to spread to the public.

Even the heart of the Ming Empire knew nothing about it.

At the end of May 1631, the capital.

In the north, thousands of miles away, the weather has already brought heat to this season, even during the Little Ice Age.

More than a year has passed since the catastrophe last year. The ancient capital seems to have restored its prosperous appearance of people, cars and horses, but the internal trauma has not yet subsided.

The ruler of this city, and also the ruler of the Ming Empire, was the diligent Emperor Chongzhen.

Since the emperor was diligent, it was essential to have an early court. At the end of May, the young Emperor Chongzhen held the morning court at the imperial sect as usual.

The imperial-level gate is the gate of the imperial-level hall. Before the 41st year of Jiajing, the imperial-level hall was originally called Fengtian Hall. In the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the imperial-level hall would be renamed the Taihe Hall, which is familiar to later generations - commonly known as the Golden Palace.

The Qing emperors would not say that in fact, in addition to major political activities and festivals, the place where the Ming emperors held morning courts on a daily basis was not inside the Golden Palace, but at the gate. This rule was created by Zhu Yuanzhang in the past, and there was a name called "The Imperial Gate to Obey the Government".

Today is no exception.

At 5 a.m., with the bells and drums on the Meridian Gate Tower, hundreds of Beijing officials who had been waiting for a long time entered Los Angeles at 4 a.m., as the Beijing city at 4 a.m., I will see you every day.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen, wearing a black dragon robe, also walked out of the back hall with a large number of eunuchs and palace maids. After the ministers took their seats, the emperor sat on time on the dragon throne in front of the imperial gate.

Kneel and knock three times, and long live the mountain.

After finishing the routine, with the slight morning light, a regular match began in front of the imperial gate.

Today's morning court is very ordinary, and it seems to be a familiar boring moment. A high-quality official made a prelude to the prelude. A low-quality official who is not qualified to come forward will do a good job in the background and strive to leave the shift early

In fact, since Zhu Yuanzhang, the extremely inefficient governance model of the great dynasty was abandoned by the later emperors. After Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor thought it was too tiring to go to the morning court every day, so he changed to reviewing memorials to handle various affairs. The morning court was only held occasionally. What's even more cruel was Jiajing and Wanli, who had not attended the morning court for more than 20 years.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was a model worker, he did not have the habit of detaining all civil servants in the Forbidden City and not doing practical things. So soon, in essence, he became a regular ritual and went to court.

After the court was brought down, as the dense crowd of low-ranking officials dispersed, the real central government decision system of the Ming Empire began to operate: a small dynasty meeting composed of a few officials such as the emperor, the Grand Secretary, the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice.

Today's small court meeting was quite complete, and basically all the big men in Beijing were present, and two or three old ministers even came. Although the nobles never spoke, if they wanted to listen, the emperor and the bachelors could not push them out, right?

After the small dynasty meeting began, the monarch and ministers first talked about some idle government affairs. After that, it was today's highlight: handling memorials sent by Guangdong.

The memorial mentioned here is naturally the document about the "conflict" in Macau last month.

In fact, since the day of the conflict, Guangdong officials have successively written memorials to the court. Later, Guangdong and Guangxi Governor's Office, local yamen, and even officials from all over Guangdong, Jinyiwei, even local gentry, retired officials, etc. have all given the court a lot of memorials. Therefore, from early April to now, the court has received a lot of memorials and has a clear understanding of the Macau incident.

However, the most critical thing about this matter was that the Changchao General Army Office did not send the memorial to the capital until mid-May. In other words, the loyal and brave prince Cao Chuan slowly walked on the ordinary post road and sent memorials to the court at the end of April or early May, nearly a week after the war ended.

After receiving the memorial, the court naturally had to carefully study and savor it: the rest of the people from all walks of life were published early, but your chief minister named Cao delayed the time. What are the disadvantages in this?

In this way, when all the big men from the court figured out the cause and effect of the memorials through private channels, the time had reached the end of May. This was also the theme of today's small dynasty meeting: replying to the decree.

After seeing that the other trivial political affairs were handled almost the same, facing the rising Chaoyang, Emperor Chongzhen turned his face and nodded to Fang Zhenghua, who was rotating today, the Silijian Bingbi.

Fang Zhenghua, who understood the spirit, immediately left the shift and said to the civil servant group on the left hand side of the rank: "There is an oral order: Can the ministers have a receipt for the memorial handed over to the south?"

Comrade Wen Tiren, a senior secretary of the Dongge and Minister of Rites, who had been prepared, hurriedly stepped out and bowed and took out a document from his sleeve and handed it over: "I have a ticket." 69 school bag

The next moment, the young emperor reached out to take the cabinet ticket and looked carefully from the beginning.

Speaking of which, during the Chongzhen dynasty, the power of the Silijian was greatly reduced. The reason is very simple: Chongzhen was a workaholic, and memorials sent to the capital from all over the country were often drafted by the cabinet tickets, and the emperor often took them directly to the imperial examination and annotated instructions, and there was no Silijian in the middle.

The same is true today. After Wen Shangshu handed over the memorials drafted by the cabinet ticket, the emperor directly began to read the imperial examination.

The memorial from the Zhangchao General Army’s Office arrived late in the evening, and the contents are divided into three parts.

In the first part, a general told the onlookers that on a small island in the distant southern country, the Ming Dynasty's official army and the Franchise people had a small "conflict".

Yes, according to the results of the cabinet's post-discussion, the time travelers defined this war as "conflict".

The reason for this characterization is very simple: if the Franji people (including all colonists) are portrayed as the enemy of the fierce and violent barbarian country, the memorial will be said later that "reform and opening up allow all foreigners to enter Guangzhou to do business" will not be valid.

It is precisely because of this that the memorial from the General Zhangchao Army did not pass the military emergency, but sent an ordinary letter: This is a small conflict, and it cannot reach the level of war that the court pays attention to. Therefore, no matter how the rest of you submit the memorial, I will define it as a conflict here. Anyway, I will be able to believe it.

As for the specific content of the memorial, the General Office naturally underestimated the scenes of the day. The two families of Mingfu started a little conflict. Given that the two countries had been friendly and cooperation for many years, the gentleman agreed to play a friendly match with the bench outside the Macao city. In the end, the "Cao Army" defeated the archery, and the loser was still honored. Both sides shook hands and made peace. Franji people peacefully handed over the archery city. The women and children were not injured, and everyone was very happy. International relations models were all

The above is the content of the first phase of the memorial: report.

The content of the second stage is to announce good news to the court and give gifts.

After the island was recovered, the first was the good news of "returning back to power". After the first few days of military control, General Cao said that the jurisdiction of Macau Island had been transferred to the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi, who sent Xiangshan County Magistrate Zhong Sheng to open a hall to exercise the government's rights.

Secondly, since we took over the Macau city that the Portuguese had been operating since the Jiajing period, we must have "harvest". General Cao was born in the wild and the most loyal and righteous. This time, this time we opened the city, we naturally could not forget the emperor and the court, and everyone had meat and soup. So General Cao gave great gifts to the emperor and the court respectively.

The following is the dividend gift list to the court, totaling:

150,000 taels of silver

General Franchise had ten guns and several guns;

Fran aircraft had thirty guns in the middle, and several guns were shot;

Franc machine small cannons, mother and son gun cannons in total;

Franc gunner instructors 100 (employment nature).

The Franji people "lei lost" to the Tian Dynasty's Sanju Datianzhuang land deeds (located in northern Annan).

After the court ceremony, General Cao respects the emperor’s private ceremony:

150,000 taels of silver;

Franchise treasures and hundreds of pieces;

A hundred new treasures from Cao's workshop;

The loyal and brave uncle respected the emperor a hundred chores of daily miscellaneous uses;

The Franji people "lei lost" to the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty 5 land deeds of the Three Ripe Rice Private Datianzhuang (located in northern Annan).

above.

After the first two parts of the memorial ended, the third key part came: the General Office cited the scriptures and quoted from Kunlun slaves in the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty’s Yiye people, and then to the current Franji, they were all kinds of nonsense and chaotic. By the way, they also criticized the Ming Dynasty’s foreign policy and believed that the turtle was not desirable. Now that he, Cao Zhongchen, is a good time to open the door and do business.

Finally, the memorials and pictures were revealed, and thousands of words turned into one sentence: Reform and opening up, Guangzhou City Outside New District was a pilot project, Xu Yang ships docked, Xu Yang Business bought property, and Sino-foreign exchanges.

This memorial has a strong style of warriors. You can tell at a glance that the three paragraphs are about giving faces, giving benefits, and making requirements without any concealment, and being so straightforward.
