The Spring Festival of the twentieth year of Ruiyuan has arrived. ￥℉，

The smoke of war has long gone, many people no longer know what it is like to fight, those disasters decades ago have been gone, when the old man tells this history to children, many children don't believe it at all, just think it's fun, listen to it as a story, but as long as they enter the school to study, they will know these not very long history in a short period of time, and know that their parents and grandparents have suffered a lot.

The school has long been popularized, whether it is the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, or the children of ordinary people, they all want to enter the school to study, the courses that children learn have long been not only the four books and five classics, but also include history, geography, mathematics and even politics and other courses, every beginner child, have to learn these courses, the imperial examination once every three years, has become a comprehensive examination, the content of the examination covers all the courses studied.

The original Zheng family army is divided into two parts, namely the Royal Army and the Royal Navy, on the basis of the Royal Navy and the Royal Army, the emperor specially set up the Royal Artillery, and now the Ming Dynasty is the Royal Navy, the Royal Army and the Royal Artillery.

The Huai'an Firearms Bureau was renamed the Royal Firearms Bureau, and its headquarters is still set up in Huai'an, but the scale has expanded a lot, more than dozens of times the original scale, the Royal Firearms Bureau not only develops and improves artillery and Mauser guns, but also studies all kinds of other offensive and defensive firearms, including some explosives bags similar to hundreds of years later, and other sharp weapons, these explosives bags are extremely powerful, and can play a decisive role in the battle of attacking the city.

Cold weapons, mainly spears, spears, and steel knives, were withdrawn from all royal armies.

The training of the Royal Army is more strict and standardized, and it is more standardized than before, and the Royal Institute of Theory and Policy has opened up a special research level, that is, how to effectively train sergeants.

Non-commissioned officers are basically recruited under a strict age limit, and men must be at least 16 years old, in good health, and have no bad performance before they can join the army, and from recruitment to the army. After ten years of age, there are no special circumstances to retire, and the king of soldiers selected from among the sergeants after layers of screening will enter the royal special combat team. Once you enter the royal special forces, unless you have seriously violated military regulations, you will never leave the army for the rest of your life, and when you are old and frail, you will be directly supported by the court and the army.

Officers in the army. In principle, they came out of the Royal Naval College, the Royal Army College, and the Royal Artillery Academy, and were also promoted from among the sergeants, and the rank of officers was still set as the general soldier, staff general, adjutant general, guerrilla general, thousand households, hundred households, and team leaders, etc., and those who could be promoted to the rank of guerrilla general or above in the army basically served in the army for the rest of their lives.

The students of the Royal Naval Academy, the Huangjia Army Academy and the Royal Artillery Academy are all recruited from among the scholars who take the imperial examination, that is to say, the scholars who participate in the imperial examination can enter the Royal Naval College through the martial arts examination and so on, and later enter the army to become officers.

The emperor and the imperial court attached great importance to the construction of the army, although ordinary people could not smell the smell of gunpowder at all. However, the Royal Army, the Royal Navy, and the Royal Artillery will still participate in some local battles and battles, all of which are outside the territory of the Ming Dynasty, or to settle disputes between other vassal states, or to punish those countries who dare to violate the many rules established by the Ming court.

The commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, the Royal Army and the Royal Artillery is the Emperor.

The Governor's Office and the Ministry of War also have a clear division of labor in the jurisdiction of the army, with the Governor's Office under its jurisdiction, and the Governor's Office concurrently serves as the Governor's Office, and the Governor's Office still has a Metropolitan Governor, who is still in the cabinet. This determined the status of the army in the Ming Dynasty.

The view of emphasizing literature over military force is gradually fading, and the status of officers and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty is getting higher and higher.

In the minds of the people, the emperor has become a mythical existence, and this is because of the past ten years. The emperor recovered all the lost land of the Ming Dynasty, and the grassland tribes have long submitted to the emperor and the imperial court, and now many of the young people of the grassland tribes have gone to live in the capital of the Ming Dynasty or other places in the mainland, and there are many people who have entered the Royal Navy and Army with their physical advantages, and more young people from the grassland participate in the martial arts examination. Entered the Royal Navy, Army and Artillery Academy to study, became an officer in the army, many Han people also entered the grassland, the imperial court has long sent civilian officials to the grassland, and most of the civil officials are Han people, these Han people into the grassland tribe, on the one hand, the culture of the interior will be promoted to the grassland tribe, on the other hand, it is to respect the habits of the grassland tribe, and never discriminate against the Mongolian tribes.

The Qing Dynasty, which had been destroyed for fifteen years, gradually faded in people's minds, and the two cities of Kuanchengfu and Shangjing had been built very well, including Shenyang, to the disappointment of Dolgon, Daishan and Jierharang and others, their descendants were full of people, and they had no intention of rebelling at all, and their lives could be stable, at least they would not go hungry, and no one would think of rebelling for no reason.

The development of the south is even faster, some huge workshops continue to appear, as long as they pay taxes on time according to the requirements of the imperial court and the government, these workshops can be supported by the imperial court and the government, and the trade at sea is even more prosperous, still accounting for half of the overall tax payment of the Ming Dynasty, and the merchant groups and envoys sent by countries outside the territory are also endless.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing, Songjiang, Quanzhou and Guangzhou and other places have become a very concentrated place for Europeans and people from outside the territory, in comparison, most of the blond and blue-eyed Europeans are in Beijing and Nanjing, many of them enter the Ming government to do things, and many people are engaged in all kinds of teaching and research and other matters, and the vast majority of people from outside the territory are concentrated in Guangzhou and Quanzhou and other places, they are mainly engaged in business and other matters.

During the Ming Dynasty, the establishment of the Jiaozhi political envoy, that is, later Vietnam, had been in the Chongzhen period of constant commotion, in the sixth year of Ruiyuan, the emperor sent a large army to assess the turmoil in Cochin, and established Vietnam Province here.

The royal family of North Korea has also written a special song, hoping to become a real vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, any emperor of North Korea needs to be allowed by the Ming Dynasty, for the request of the Korean royal family, the emperor refused, the emperor said that North Korea is a country, and its domestic royal family matters. Make your own decisions, and the Ming Dynasty will not interfere too much.

The cabinet of the imperial court was rotated in strict accordance with the prescribed system, and all the cabinet ministers in the first year of Ruiyuan were all dismissed. The vast majority of them went on to the Royal Academy of Theory, or to the Imperial Naval College, the Army Academy, the Artillery Academy, and so on, where they taught or wrote books.

Every year, the emperor summoned officials above the third rank of Zhishi and gathered with these officials in the capital. Eating together, Lala is homely, recalling the days of the previous conquest and fighting, among the cabinet ministers in the first year of Ruiyuan, the former cabinet deputy Zhou Yanru, the cabinet ministers Xiong Wencan, Gan Xuekuo, Wen Zhenheng and others, have all passed away one after another, and the oldest Zheng Jinhong and Yang Tingshu and others have also entered old age, and Ruiyuan was succeeded by the cabinet ministers in the tenth year. It's not too young.

This year is the 20th year of Ruiyuan, and according to the rules, the cabinet ministers are going to be adjusted again.

However, until the end of the year, there was no movement, which could not help but arouse some suspicion.

Zheng Xunrui is not yet fifty years old, and he looks even younger.

After nearly thirty-five years, Zheng Xunrui himself did not dare to imagine what he did, but unfortunately, many people who followed him to revitalize the Ming Dynasty. They are all gone.

According to the rules, Zheng Xunrui must adjust the cabinet candidates, in fact, the candidates have been determined a long time ago, but he has not acted for a long time. It can be regarded as exercising the emperor's privileges.

It's not that Zheng Xunrui doesn't want to adjust, but he has some premonitions in the dark, the era that has been vague and can't be remembered for a long time, seems to be calling him, and when the Spring Festival is approaching, he has dreamed of it several times. When he woke up, he felt so clear and real that Zheng Xunrui was in a trance.

Zheng Xunrui knew that this was a sign that his limit was approaching.

In the previous life plus the time of the crossing, Zheng Xunrui lived for more than 90 years, which is enough, especially after the crossing, it is an unimaginable feat to establish ordinary people, the budding capital society of the Ming Dynasty has long appeared, and has entered the track of gradual development, and Zheng Xunrui relied on the Royal Policy Theory Research Institute to summarize a large number of experience in the development of commerce and trade, which is used to restrict the problems that may arise in the process of capital development.

Of course, many things, Zheng Xunrui can not consider so carefully, as time goes by, with the development of society, more and more problems and contradictions will appear, those that do not need to be considered by Zheng Xunrui, and need to be solved by his descendants.

The crown prince Zheng Hanyu has long matured and has been able to deal with the big and small affairs of the DPRK and China, in fact, many specific matters are directly handled by the prince in the court.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, after the reunion dinner, Zheng Xunrui rested.

An hour later, Zheng Xunrui called the crown prince Zheng Hanyu.

"Prince, I have thought about it, this era name still has to be changed, my suggestion, the era name will be changed to the name of the country of China, as for the year, it will be changed to Huaxia from next year, this is my idea, and it is also my will, as for when to make the decree, I will think about it again."

"Prince, you have been able to handle all government affairs well, I can rest assured, but there is one thing I still want to remind you, that is, the cultivation of your heir, you must cultivate it well."

The time is coming soon, and at this time in previous years, the emperor would walk out of the palace and watch the fireworks, but this year, the emperor did not go out.

When the people welcomed the Spring Festival happily, the palace fell into a deathly silence.

Zheng Hanyu led many younger brothers and sisters to kneel outside the Qianning Palace.

The emperor died.

No one thought that the emperor, who seemed to be in good spirits and had almost no pain, would suddenly die.

The emperor walked very peacefully, he met with all the concubines before the child, and they all spoke, and finally came to Qianning Palace, and I don't know what to say to the queen.

On the first day of the twenty-first year of Ruiyuan, the newly appointed emperor changed the name of the country to Zhonghua and changed the name of the year to Huaxia.

The decades of struggle of the first emperor have become a legend in history, and it is also called a legend in the history books at the end of the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
