Before the arrival of the New Year, the Wanli Emperor drilled into the telegraph room of the Beijing Division and issued a telegram with the title of "I am Yijun" to the soldiers and people of the world, congratulating the New Year to the subjects of the world.

But this congratulatory news in the eighth year of Wanli was four months earlier than last year.

The distance in the world has never been so close.

In just three days, as far east as Liaodong and as far west as Shaanxi, several provinces north of the Yellow River received a telegram from the Son of Heaven.

In fact, the provincial and government officials immediately thought that the emperor had drunk a lot of wine in the Forbidden City...... Where in the world is there an emperor in the sky who congratulates the people, the army, and the ministers on a sunny day in August?

But this is obviously no precedent, because there was never an emperor who sent a telegram.

It was only when the provincial officials saw the contents of the telegram that it dawned on them: Oh, the emperor had asked everyone to start preparing and convey the news to the counties and subordinate townships, so as to ensure that the common people living in the smallest administrative unit of the empire would also receive the emperor's congratulations on the New Year.

On the fourth day, the telegram crossed the Yellow River by the hands of the boatmen and riders and spread throughout Liaodong, and the riders with secret orders galloped across the Linhai and crossed the Yalu River, giving orders to Korea and sending blessings to the coast of the Little Orient, and their final destination was Wangxiazhou, the easternmost point of the Old Continent.

The telegram in Nurgandus's hometown has been repaired, but it is not a straight line, but a line segment, which is easy to repair in some places, and the Ming Dynasty has already repaired it; Some places are not easy to repair, and the Ming Dynasty slowly repairs; There are still some places that cannot be repaired, and the Ming Dynasty first repairs the earth and then repairs the telegraph.

The Imperial messenger cavalry who galloped into the ice field didn't even know what was written in the secret book in their hands, but the emperor's mandate had been fulfilled, and they could ride a deer where they could ride a horse, and run on two legs where they couldn't, and they had to send the secret book to every garrison along the way.

The same is true in the west, this year the emperor's orders are stricter, and he has also made greater innovations, not only expanding the scope of congratulations from last year's border army to the common people, but also to the northwest of the nature of the Wu Si Zang, Duo Gandu command of the envoys, as well as the southwest of the Xuan Xiang Division.

In the same way, at the end of the telegraph, the rest is left to the rider.

As a data emperor, Wanli summarized and adapted the official documents he asked for from the six ministries, and easily wrote a New Year's speech like a report on work.

This caused a great shock to the local Tusi, the Dharma king, and the rulers.

Originally, the Dharma King and Toast, who were the first to receive the news in various places, had the joy of bathing in the grace of heaven and the pleasure of revenge...... There has always been only us to pay tribute, when will the emperor give us congratulations, huh?

This thing can be blown for ten lifetimes, it can be blown with colleagues when it is alive, it can be blown with its ancestors when it is dead, and it can be blown by reincarnation in the next life! The son of tomorrow not only wishes me a happy New Year, but also reports to me!

Later, I found that my peers had received the emperor's 'Happy New Year', and even the people under his rule had received it, and it was the same text.

The Dharma King with brains and the consolation made everyone tremble, and they chatted together in twos and threes, and the more they talked about the report of the Wanli Emperor, the more they felt chilled.

'I am Yi Jun, change the first paragraph of the letter to me. The Ming Empire ushered in a new year, the empire is mine, but also all of us, on the occasion of the auspicious time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, I wish the people of the world a happy New Year. ’

'There is a cloud in the ancient book: the prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must be sent to the army. Last year, there were 390 students of the Songjiang Lecture Academy in the empire who graduated and entered the official career, and they were proficient in the affairs of the six departments, but I did not give them high-ranking officials, but sent them to the township capital, prefecture and county for training, and my people wanted to supervise them on my behalf, whether they were the most honest and capable officials in the dynasty. ’

'The empire has 1,478 students of the North and South Martial Arts Hall who have graduated and joined the army, and they have been successful in their studies, and the empire has added 17 commanders, 140 thousand households, 566 hundred households, and 755 chief banner officers, and my soldiers are also to supervise them on my behalf, whether they are the wisest and most professional generals of the dynasty. ’

In the same year, 244 civil and military officials above the seventh rank were dismissed, demoted, and fined because they did not love the army and the people and did not do well in the examination, and the officials of the dynasty were more honest than in the past. This is my will, you and others have listened well, if there is corruption, lawlessness, favoritism, dereliction of duty, etc., you can immediately go to the 110 supervising and imperial history offices of the thirteen provinces in the world to complain, and I will deal with them. ’

'Last year, the Haihe River flooded, the people of 14 counties were affected, and the 6 million stone rice grain in Beijing was allocated to the victims under my will, and the Beiyang Army also poured out the disaster relief under my instructions. ’

'I want to worship them every year, but the ministers don't let me, you give me a comment, the warriors sacrificed their lives for the country, but I can't visit them last year, is there such a reason? If you don't mention this, it's annoying to mention it. ’

'The imperial court's income this year has increased, because there are six more vassal countries in the West, domestic production has also been greatly improved, and the tariff on commercial goods has increased by 1.4 million taels, so I have selected 54 counties in the six provinces of the northwest, southwest, northeast, and the central plains, where the grain harvest has failed and the people have lived hard, so this year I have exempted the land tax in these 54 counties. Don't be angry with the people who don't have a wheel, the country is very big, and the people are very hard, I will continue to work hard to open up overseas to reduce the pressure on the people of my Celestial Empire. ’

'Ministers, soldiers, merchants, and common people, continue to be with me in the new year. ’

'It's the New Year, and the taboo on the color of the January moon clothes will be exempted, and they will be festive. Eat whatever you want, eat well, and I will be full; Wear whatever you want, you wear it well, and I will be warm; Okay, that's all for this year, let's see you next year, I'm going to quarrel with King Guiyi, he always bullies my southwest capital, and I'm not done with him. ’

The emperor is trying to win over the hearts of the people.

What do you do to win the hearts and minds of the people? The consolation envoys in the southwest are trembling, and Yang Yinglong from Banzhou has been out for a year, can they not ponder this matter?

In the past few decades, except for the officials who notified the tributes and sent the edicts, the imperial orders were never sent to the snow-capped mountains, and now not only the emperor's orders were sent to the snow-capped mountains, but also to the people.

When a letter came, the rider dismounted and summoned those who could read and hyphenation among the people to start copying, and summoned the loud voices to read it in the place where the crowd gathered, but you can't help but let them copy it...... It is true that there are not many people who completely bow down to the emperor and obey the order, but because of this little thing, the messenger of the Son of Heaven was killed.

Only fools dare.

Even if you have the intention to rebel, you can't go to war without preparation, right?

The consolation envoys in the southwest have the heart but not the courage, the last one who was called Mang Yinglong because of arrogance, Donghu is so powerful, there is nothing in the blink of an eye.

As for the Dharma kings in the northwest, they were both afraid and watching, because the letter sounded a bit like the Son of Heaven wanted justice for them.

So the telegram was delivered to more than sixty percent of the people of the empire with unmistakable accuracy, and no one made any trouble.

However, for the Guiyi king, this letter is not so comfortable.
