With the republication of the "Ming Yuebao", all provinces were in a state of turmoil, and many people were at a loss for sudden political changes.

Zhao Yan invaded the capital, Chongzhen retreated to the deep palace, the cabinet was reorganized, the world elected auxiliary ministers, and the constitutional monarchy was established, and novel things appeared in front of the world.

After the people of Shandong learned that Zhao Yan had forced Chongzhen to establish a constitution, they all celebrated warmly. Under the propaganda of the Propaganda Department, the people of Shandong naturally shared the same hatred of the enemy. As for those elites, it is unknown whether they can have a sense of identity with the content of the Propaganda Department.

Even if these elites do not agree with the content of the publicity department, they cannot cause anything because they are far less powerful than Zhao Yan in Shandong. When most people support Zhao Yan, they will only be beaten up by others.

As for the elites in other provinces, they have different attitudes. Some support Zhao Yan's proposal that "the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people", while others angrily scolded Zhao Yan for rebel.

However, when Chongzhen had issued the "Sin Yi Zhao", the Shaanxi army that had gathered in several provinces to suppress the bandits, Lu Xiangsheng's Xuan Da army, Ji Liao army and Zhao Yan reached a compromise, there was no chaos in the provinces.

However, there are still many provinces who want to send troops to attack Zhao Yan, but their local troops are not strong in combat, and due to the situation, they have never raised an army.

In addition, Zhao Yan's approach was not too much, so many elites could tolerate it.

However, Zheng Zhilong, who was in Shijing, Fujian, was so scared that he almost fainted by the result of this political change. It was nothing at all, but he was just shocked. However, when he saw Zhao Yan's position after victory, the Daming Salt Transportation Commission and the Daming Maritime Commission, there was no reason not to be scared.

The position of the Ming Dynasty Maritime Inspector has never been seen before. This time, the literal explanation is: in charge of the municipal taxes of various provinces in the Ming Dynasty.

This naturally includes Fujian, which means that the Zheng Group will be in a very passive position in the future in the maritime competition with Zhao Yan.

Zheng Zhilong, who had not expected this sudden situation, regretted it so much that he vomited blood. If he had known this, when Zhao Yan proposed that both sides jointly formulate import and export taxes, he would agree immediately. At least both sides were in an equal state at that time. Now, after Zhao Yanyi obtained the position of "Ming Ming Maritime Envoy", the two sides were in an inequality state. Under such a sudden change, how could Zheng Zhilong not regret it?

If you pay taxes to Zhao Yan, your financial resources will definitely be damaged and you will be subject to others. If you don’t pay, Zhao Yan has an excuse to attack him on land.

Chongzhen retreated to the inner palace without caring about political affairs, and Zheng Zhilong lost the shield to resist Zhao Yan's invasion for a while. As for Xiong Wencan, the development situation was quite good. Due to Zhao Yan's advance, Xiong Wencan recruited more than a dozen thieves on the battlefield of the Central Plains. At the same time, because of Zhao Yan's intimidation, these thieves were in a state of peace and showed no sign of rebellion.

If Chongzhen was in power, it would have been a great contribution, but Chongzhen fell in the political affairs. Even if Xiong Wencan was promoted, he would not be able to help Zheng Zhilong with Zhao Yan's control of the cabinet.

At the same time, the news that Zhao Yan sent troops to attack the Tokugawa shogunate spread to Fujian a month ago. Originally, Zheng Zhilong only planned to watch Zhao Yan's jokes.

After all, Zhao Yangang fought with Jianlu in Liaodong and North Korea, and then sent troops to fight against the bandits and also sent troops to Japan. This can be said to be a three-line battle. In addition to having the strong Jianlu, what he had to face was also facing the combat power of the entire Japan. In Zheng Zhilong's opinion, he would undoubtedly lose.

But recently, a shocking news came back. The Tokugawa shogunate was beaten by Zhao Yan in the Kanto area and directly retreated from Kanto, and the entire Kanto had been occupied by Zhao Yan.

Under such circumstances, Zheng Zhilong ordered all shipyards to step up the construction of the 50 large Western ships, while contacting the Dutch people entrenched in Taiwan.

Zheng Zhilong asked for deeper cooperation with the Dutch, which hit it off with the Dutch.

The war between the Shandong army and the Tokugawa Shogunate, coupled with Zhao Yan's frequent looting of Japan's route, caused the Dutch to take a sharp turn for the interests of Japan. At the same time, facing this strongly rising northern general, the Dutch felt a huge threat.

The Batavia company has been in a state of hostility with the Shandong Navy for a long time. The first target of the Shandong Navy's robbery was their merchant ships and even warships.

Recently, a small number of Shandong Navy appeared in the Sumatra area, and they were driving a new type of warship of about 500 tons.

This kind of warship not only has fast and flexible speed and driving ability, but also has extremely high sailing rate, and also has powerful artillery that they cannot match.

Their warships are extremely tragic when facing such small warships. Not only are the ship speed not as fast as the other party, but the artillery is not as fast as the other party's fire, and they are not far from their targets. In addition, the artillery shells used by the Shandong Navy are more lethal than solid bombs. When both sides encounter one-on-one, they are far from the opponent of such small warships.

These warships were cruising near Batavia. More than a dozen merchant ships had been robbed, three were sunk, and two warships were captured.

This caused great inconvenience and huge losses to the activities of the Batavia Company, and the Governor of Batavia naturally could not tolerate their long-term existence.

So a month ago, Batavia launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression of this Shandong Navy. However, the result was nothing.

Once the Shandong Navy frigates encounter large-scale Dutch warships, they will just sail and run away without saying a word. They take advantage of their small tonnage to drive unimpededly on the shallows of Sumatra Island, while many Dutch warships with large tonnage can often only sigh.

Recently, Batavia has investigated this Shandong Navy base, which is located in Palembang, Sumatra.

The Batavia Company is preparing to plan a more massive encirclement operation. However, regardless of whether it can be successfully wiped out, the general who rose to the north of the Ming Empire had already made them feel a huge threat.

At the same time, the Shandong Navy had already appeared on the Atlantic Ocean at this moment. The information from the Netherlands was entrenched on the west coast of the Americas, a place called "Kindergarten".

In the Caribbean Sea, the Shandong Navy caused them even more serious losses to the Netherlands. Last year, ten warships were attacked by the Shandong Navy during the attack on the Portuguese colony, Brazil, and were taken down in one fell swoop. This was a heavy loss.

At the same time, the Shandong Navy continued to cruise on the Caribbean Sea and also looted many Dutch merchant ships. Although the losses were not counted on their Batavia, the threats coexisted.

Even if the small warships in Nanyang are wiped out, Shandong can still create more. The reason for the failure is the overall backwardness of maritime combat methods.

Zheng Zhilong proposed to deepen cooperation, which was exactly what the Dutch needed.

Batavia Company promises to unconditionally provide support for Zheng Zhilong in navigation technology, whether it is navigation experience, shipbuilding technology, or artillery technology.

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong was asked to steal the ship drawings, artillery, shell technology, etc. of the Shandong Navy as much as possible.

Zheng Zhilong agreed immediately, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement and entered an unprecedented honeymoon period.

At the same time, Zheng Zhilong began to use his identity as the general of Fujian to actively build passes in Fujian. Fujian is mountainous and although most of it is not dangerous, it is still very simple to build tight passes in the continuous mountainous areas.

In an active preparation for war, Zheng Zhilong also strives to reach a reconciliation with Zhao Yan, and is even more eager to steal Shandong's advanced artillery technology.

...Under strong force and acceptable conditions, although the situation in various provinces is bizarre, no turmoil has occurred.

Zhao Yan was very leisurely in the capital. Officials from various parties asked for a visit, but except for Zhu Dadian, Yan Jizu, Chen Zhongsheng, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others, the rest of the officials were not seen.

After Yan Jizu and Zhu Dadian arrived in the capital, they immediately began to establish the party. All the party members were provided by Zhao Yan, and there was no need to do anything. They just need to determine the work rules.

The official documents were also sent to the capital for Zhao Yan to handle. The situation in each province was collected by the intelligence department and was all under Zhao Yan's insight.

Although the cabinet has not yet been established, the cabinet has begun to take over memorials from various places and issue orders to the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and the jade seal of Chongzhen is still used.

Any memorials approved by the cabinet were directly searching for the eunuch Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, and asked Cao Huachun to take out the jade seal and stamp it on the memorial. When Chongzhen lost his administrative power, Cao Huachun had lost the ability to check the government orders.

Officials from all over the country are waiting and watching, intending to see the next move of the cabinet, but the cabinet has very few moves, that is, they have not suppressed any local officials, nor have they made any changes to the officials. Everything maintains the current situation, which makes those local officials feel much more at ease.

This kind of action of the cabinet is determined by Zhao Yan's current situation. The cabinet has just been reorganized and Chongzhen has just retreated to the deep palace, so officials from all over the country will naturally not adapt quickly.

Therefore, it is necessary to continue for a period of time according to the original administrative habits, and then slowly dismember the [***] group after being accepted by officials from all over the country.

The procedure for forming a cabinet has been almost done. After the roughness of the "Da Ming Law" was revised, it finally came to an end. Although it seemed rough and was covered at a large level in many aspects, it was much more perfect than the original "Da Ming Law".

After three days of writing, the policy arguments of various parties were submitted.

The theme of policy theory revolves around "governing the country". Although Zhao Yan had explained before that it was a way to change the existing dilemma of the Ming Dynasty, the policy theory submitted by many parties was such as "governing the country with virtue". Confucius said, a lot of empty words and clichés that had been used for thousands of years.

Zhao Yan looked at it and directly hit an X on it, which was unqualified!

What is relatively outstanding is the policy theory submitted by the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party believes that the royal relatives and landlords should restrict the land acquisition by land, and at the same time propose the policy of protecting the people's property from being plundered at will, but they still adhere to the policy of "light commercial taxes to benefit the people."

The three big words "Qian Qianyi" attached below were attached. Zhao Yan was unhappy for a while. This old ghost didn't go to Qinhuai River to pick up girls, and jumped out to jump out... Although Zhao Yan was unhappy, he knew that the way to govern the country was not based on his own likes and dislikes, so Zhao Yan still made this policy the first.
