Zhang Xianzhong learned that Annan had become the "Annan Shared Republic" overnight, and the Ming Dynasty occupied half of the equity, and suddenly felt it became difficult.

The Ming Dynasty also sent envoys to Luzon, half a warning and half a persuasion, claiming that the capture of southern Annan was an invasion of the Ming vassal state, and that troops must be withdrawn from Guangnan as soon as possible, and sternly warned not to invade northern Annan. Of course, the envoys of the Ming Dynasty were obviously not painful about the affairs of Guangnan, and showed their care for the Zheng family in the north. In this regard, Wang Zhaoling had a sect of his own reception of the envoy, saying that Annan now only respected the Ming Dynasty as the Heavenly Kingdom in name, but in fact Annan no longer took the Ming Dynasty seriously.

What's more, this Guangnan Kingdom is nominally an Annan land. In fact, it has been in Annan for decades. The team of His Highness, the team of His Highness, who captured Guangnan Kingdom, did not harm the interests of the Ming Dynasty at all. Instead, it taught these ungrateful traitors a lesson, which could also be considered as helping the Ming Dynasty. Finally, Wang Zhaoling also said that His Highness knew that the Ming Dynasty would not be able to take action for the time being, so he sent troops to teach the Zheng family in the north to make them respect the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps it would be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhaoling's words came true. Maybe Zhang Kewang's soldiers were too cruel, or Zheng Zhuang's soldiers were too fierce. After a defeat, Zheng Zhuang actually made such a trick of "Annan Shares Republic" so quickly! The Ming Dynasty now really occupies half of Annan's equity, damn it! It's really a marriage for others. This is like helping Chongzhen a lot! Now, the Ming Dynasty is here to ask for Annan's southern part under the banner of Annan's major shareholder, which makes Zhang Xianzhong feel very upset.

Zhang Xianzhong had a very irritable temper, but after he arrived in Luzon, he became the king of the "Han Kingdom", and his temper improved slightly. However, people were not in a good mood. Zhang Xianzhong thought that the land here was narrow and the population was not strong, so it was okay to be king here. If he was emperor, it seemed that this territory was too unsuccessful. So he used the title of solving the marriage and marriage for the soldiers, and led the army to Guangnan Kingdom and took advantage of the opportunity to seize Chameng. Think about it, even if the Zheng Li Dynasty in the north was not moved, he would just need to get some territory of the real wax country at that time, and he would probably be able to become emperor in a noble way.

Faced with the Ming Dynasty's request for territory from Guangnan, whether to give it or not. This is a question.

Zhang Xianzhong convened the third cabinet scholar Wang Zhaoling, Lin Yinzhe and Yan Ximing to discuss this issue.

Wang Zhaoling said:

"Report to Your Majesty, I think Guangnan has been around for many years and no longer belongs to Annan. We only need to stick to this statement. With the theory of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty cannot deny that Guangnan has actually been arguing. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is currently seeking to unify the Central Plains and is powerless to take care of it. Therefore, I think that our Han Dynasty finally managed to capture Guangnan, but we only need to insist that Guangnan has nothing to do with Annan, so we politely refuse the Ming Dynasty's request. The Ming Dynasty has no sufficient reason and cannot easily provoke. We just occupy Guangnan, and I understand that the Ming Dynasty may not be able to do anything to us!"

Although Zhang Xianzhong did not proclaim himself emperor, Wang Zhaoling called His Majesty first. Zhang Xianzhong naturally loved to listen, so the ministers all called His Majesty Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong accepted it happily. Wang Zhaoling followed Zhang Xianzhong for many years, how could he not know Zhang Xianzhong's nature? Zhang Xianzhong was definitely unable to give up the fat meat that had already been mouthed. Since he had already been snatched, how could he easily trade it out!

When Lin Yinzhe heard Wang Zhaoling's words, he felt a little anxious. Zhang Xianzhong came to Luzon and knew that he needed to assist him by someone familiar with Luzon, so Lin Yinzhe became a cabinet scholar. Zhang Xianzhong was determined to be emperor. It turned out that the system of prime minister seemed to be inconsistent with the imperial system of the Ming Dynasty. So even Wang Zhaoling and Yan Ximing turned into a cabinet scholar. Lin Yinzhe was very pragmatic in his style, so he said:

"Report to Your Majesty, I think that the establishment of the Han Dynasty is only more than a year, with Japan in the east and Spain in the west, are all enemies of our Han Dynasty. The friendship between the Ming Dynasty is the foundation of the establishment of the Han Dynasty. I think that the Ruan tribe of Annan Guangnan did not abandon the Li family and established itself. The Ruan tribe still respected the Li family as the king of Annan from beginning to end. The Ruan tribe and the Zheng family divided the north and south, so it was the Ruan tribe against the Zheng family and used the emperor to command the princes. Moreover, the Ruan tribe did not call the king, but called the "gong". If our Han country had already rejected the Ming Dynasty because Guangnan had long been in Annan and rejected the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult to justify itself. Moreover, we could not claim justice by occupying Guangnan. We have lost justice and justice. The Ming Dynasty occupied the commanding heights of morality. Our Han country did not have the upper hand in morality, and was even more isolated internationally. Our Han country has already established a great deal of life.

This strong enemy, Spain is also a strong enemy that is not easy to meet. Now if we build a super strong enemy of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will be in danger! The Ming Dynasty does not need to use troops, but only requires the supply of arms. The combat power of our Han team will be greatly reduced. Once Japan, Spain uses troops to me, may I ask, can it be a chance of winning against Japan? Who dares to speak out against Spain? I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will make our Han country poor to deal with it. Please think twice. I think that without Daming and secretly supporting it, our Han country will be difficult to take Luzon in any case. The Han country was created and Luzon was not completely stable. The people of Guangnan even resisted our Han country. It is not an exaggeration to say that the people were resentful. It is better to follow the Ming Dynasty's withdrawal from Guangnan country for the sake of the Han country."

When Zhang Xianzhong heard Lin Yinzhe's words, he felt that what Lin Yinzhe said was not without reason. His soldiers and generals robbed a large number of women from Guangnan, killing and looting without any scruples. In the eyes of the people of Guangnan, the Han Dynasty was just a bunch of robbers. If they lost the hearts of the people, it would be difficult to control.

Zhang Xianzhong was weighing the pros and cons, and Yan Ximing said:

"I believe that many women in Guangnan have lost to Luzon, and males have lost to Luzon as coolies. Guangnan has mostly owned the wealth of our great Han country. In this way, Guangnan has lost all the wealth, and the rest are all unlucky and poor people. It is a pity to give it up. I think it is better to just send a favor to the Ming Dynasty, so I will give it up. I will give it up. I will give it up to the Ming Dynasty and give it up. I will also give it up. I will also give it up. I will also have Champa, and if I have occupied Champa, you can also capture real wax west. Siam. Since the Ming Dynasty has not made any mention of the capture of Champa, whether it is real wax or Siam, after all, it is different from Annan and cannot be considered a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. We will give it a favor. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not interfere with the advance of the Han country, the loss of Guangnan will not be considered a big deal. This is my foolish opinion. Please let Your Majesty decide."

Zhang Xianzhong knew that Yan Ximing's wish was to be the prime minister of peace, so he was naturally unwilling to commit crimes against the Ming Dynasty and caused a lot of trouble. However, Yan Ximing's words were really good. It should be noted that when Zhang Kewang conquered Champa, his discipline was much stricter because he had already robbed everything, so he was much more restrained in Champa. I guess it would not be so difficult to manage Champa. Giving up Guangnan Kingdom, the future of the real wax and Siam, and perhaps the Ming Dynasty would turn a blind eye. If you lose a little now, you can double it in the future, which may not be a bad thing.

After Zhang Xianzhong wanted to open this floor, he immediately made a good look and gave sincerity to the Ming Dynasty. He sent Yan Xi as an envoy to Nanjing to pay homage to Chongzhen, presented a sincere letter, and returned the Guangnan Kingdom that had been robbed to the Ming Dynasty.

When Chongzhen saw that Zhang Xianzhong was quite aware of his feelings, he handed over Guangnan to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the Ming Dynasty could not occupy Guangnan, so he naturally put the assets of Guangnan into the plate of the Annan Shareholding Republic. So, at the end of August, the Annan Shareholding Republic announced the unification of the north and south, and a complete Annan Shareholding Republic was born. From April, Zhang Xianzhong invaded Guangnan and at the end of August, Zhang Xianzhong withdrew his troops from Guangnan, which took only more than four months.

Yijun led 5,000 troops to Annan, and at the same time, Liu Zongzhou was sent as vice chairman of the board of directors of Annan, Wu Jiusen served as vice premier of Annan, and his royal family Zhu Youlang was sent as chairman of the Annan Supervisory Board. The reason for choosing these three people was Chongzhen's consideration was that Liu Zongzhou was a contemporary great Confucian scholar and could promote Confucianism in Annan, while Wu Jiusen was upright and honest, and advocated the new policy, which could help Zheng Zhuang with his strength. As for Zhu Youlang, he was a noble family member, and he deserved to be a chairman of the Supervisory Board in Annan.

In this way, Annan's shareholding system reform achieved unprecedented success. Even Zheng Zhuang felt particularly accomplished because of this, and Annan celebrated this. The public opinion of the Ming Dynasty certainly reported this from all angles. The Ming Pao was full of articles, and most of them were praised by official figures and ordinary people. Of course, some people regarded the introduction of the shareholding system as a disaster, but these people's voices were weak and were instantly obscured by the overwhelming mainstream praise.

However, what Chongzhen did not expect was that the success of Annan's shareholding system transformation inspired a person's political thinking. This person was Ouyang Fu, who was also a new Jinshi last year. He published an ingenious article in "Reference News". The title of this article was: "On the Unification of China of the Shareholding System".

The article says;

In the world, at first, we only seek survival, to survive, and there will be tribes, and then there will be states. There is nothing else, and they are all due to interests. The disputes between states and states trigger the war between states and states, and thus promote the development of the political system. It can be seen that politics and military serve interests.

Since ancient times, from economic demands to military and politics, it has never been for military purposes, nor for politics. If we only know that everything follows the ancient law but do not ask why the ancient law comes from, it will be a big mistake!

The reason why Annan's shareholding reform was successful was that it was not caused by the law. It returned to the economic path from political and military means, and took the convergence of interests and demands as the foundation, and returned to the truth. Finally, the army was completed without bloodshed, and everyone in Annan was very happy. Annan's method can be a role model.

－－－－－－－

At this point of the article, the article will talk about the plan of unification of the Ming Dynasty. Since Annan can carry out shareholding reform and learn from one example, the Ming Dynasty can also rely on shareholding to unify the world. For example, if Li Zicheng gave up Dashun and merged it into the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty gave up 10 or even 20% of the equity, allowing Li Zicheng to serve as vice chairman of the board of directors to unify the world, so as to achieve peaceful reunification and avoid the disaster of war and the world. It is a benevolent and righteous act. For this reason, the Ming Dynasty might as well try this strategy of unifying the world with the shareholding system. Li Zicheng judges the situation or can accept it, and the world will be very lucky! If it succeeds, it will be remembered forever.

－－－－－－－

Ouyang Fu's article was first submitted to Ming Pao. Ming Pao thought this article was too heresy and dared not publish it, so Ouyang Fu turned to submit it to "Reference News", which was published in "Reference News".

As soon as this article was published, a super earthquake immediately triggered between the Ming Dynasty and the market. The first thing that attracted was a tide of rebuttal and insult.

After reading this strange article, three time travelers were surprised, but they did not regard it as a heresy. Instead, they sighed that the students of the Ming Dynasty really dared to think and speak. Wang Chengen said:

"Haha, no matter what era, young people are full of passion. This reminds me of the last generation of people who went to college. I am still still passionate. What I didn't expect was that the enlightenment movement of the Ming Dynasty was actually caused by the shareholding system! Speaking of which, we are the initiators, maybe this will be the democratization from the shareholding system, which is very different from any path of democratization in history. It is also an elegant thing to take the lead in taking a new path of democratization!"

Chongzhen nodded:

"It's good to be young! We have been young and have been in high spirits. Speaking of which, we were all angry young people. For an angry young man like Ouyang Fu, not to mention whether what he said was feasible, at least he was a patriotic heart. I don't think it's difficult for him, otherwise future generations would say that we have suppressed the Enlightenment movement. I just don't know what Li Zicheng thought about this article, so you can tell me."

The princess smiled and said:

"Haha, Ouyang Fu, by what you said, became a pioneer of the European Renaissance. However, the shareholding system moved from later generations does have the core of democracy, and it has become the fuse of democratic thought, Princess! It's really unpredictable! As for Li Zicheng, I'm afraid he would not accept Ouyang Fu's shareholding unified plan, let alone the Ming Dynasty cannot blindly advance. The pros and cons of the state's implementation of the shareholding system cannot be seen clearly. A big country like the Ming Dynasty cannot take risks easily."

When Chongzhen saw that the princess seemed to have become more mature politically, which is a great thing. Wang Chengen said:

"I think a big country like the Ming Dynasty must not be a shareholding system. It will be a mess. Think about it, if the Ming Dynasty has a shareholding system, whether it is to go public? If it goes public and sells Daming's stocks, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is selling the country. The princess is right. The Enlightenment movement cannot be completed in a short time, and democratic politics cannot be achieved overnight. Annan's shareholding system is not a big deal. The Ming Dynasty cannot do anything rashly. To deal with Li Zicheng, it is better to plan another plan."

Chongzhen smiled and said:

"You don't have to worry about Li Zicheng's affairs. Of course, the Ming Dynasty did not engage in the shareholding system, at least it can't do it now."

The princess smiled and said;

"It is said that there are also many young students who are Ouyang Fu's fans. I think maybe Long Kongge will have a wonderful debate, and I want to listen to it at that time."
