For these outlaws, as long as there are enough benefits, who cares about whom they work hard for!

Emperor Chongzhen understood this very well. Therefore, after hearing the Dongchang Admiral Wang Chengen come back to report, he nodded and explained: "When they are halfway through learning, they can let them stroll around the capital, let them know the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, they also know that only by having money can they live a better life!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wang Chengen nodded repeatedly and replied respectfully.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say much about his flattery, but just explained: "During their study, people were watching their words and deeds. I believe that Dongchang should have a vision and can see what these people are thinking. At that time, I want to use them, and only use some good performers. Do you understand?"

"I obey the order!" Wang Chengen heard this and quickly replied, "I must send elite monks to secretly stare at their every move."

Then, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen had no orders, so he stepped down and arranged the matter.

Emperor Chongzhen also sent an order to summon Liu Xingzuo, commander of the Jinyiwei, to give him all the information presented by the Spanish, including the basic situation of the Spanish, the Pacific route and the Atlantic route, and the situation in North and South America, and let him study it carefully.

In addition, based on the impressions of later generations, Emperor Chongzhen told Liu Xingzuo the initial ideas that he planned to send about fifty warships at one time under the guidance of these Spaniards, and now establish a stronghold in the coastline of North America, and then contact Mexico.

"Your Majesty, are these Spanish reliable?" Liu Xingzuo did not timidly, but put forward his own opinions.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen explained with a smile: "It should be almost done. When you look back, let them go to the navy base to see it. Let them understand the strength of our Ming Navy, which is enough!"

Not to mention the number of warships that the Ming Dynasty already had at this time, Emperor Chongzhen decided to send fifty warships across the Pacific for the first time just by crossing the Pacific. Such a scale is rare among the European fleets where the Europeans left their homeland. Only a huge empire like the Ming Dynasty has this strength. Using interests to lure and shock with strength, those Spaniards would have the same rebelliousness, which would be really the European conscience.

After arranging this matter, Emperor Chongzhen entered the chat group and asked about Qian Fugui's situation.

On the other side of Japan, the coalition forces led by the remnants of Jianlu have already started a vigorous war with the Tokugawa shogunate.

After attacking Honshu, the remnants of the Jianlu kept using lightning speed to expand their results and tried hard to attack Ishimi Yinshan. When they reached a place not far from Ishimi Yinshan, the Tokugawa shogunate understood the remnants of the Jianlu, and quickly gave up the enemies of the four countries and dispatched troops to surround them.

However, at the beginning, the Tokugawa shogunate army was defeated continuously, and could not resist the attacks of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. According to Qian Fugui's report and combined with what Emperor Chongzhen himself learned, the following reasons are the situation of the war.

First, these remnants of the Qing Dynasty were all elites who were used to fighting with the Ming Dynasty. Their brave combat style and physical advantages gave them great advantages against the Japanese dwarfs.

Second, the main force of Japan was actually infantry equipped with a combroach. However, the Qing Dynasty remnants had already summarized how to deal with firearms during the war with the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the inefficiency of the combroach did not cause much damage to the Qing Dynasty remnants.

Third, because the Tokugawa Shogunate usurped the throne and seized power, he was afraid that other daimyos would follow suit, so he started from the first generation of Tokugawa Ieyasu and tried his best to suppress other daimyos. The Daimyos who had the strength in the Tokugawa Hideyoshi era had almost been weakened by the Tokugawa Shogunate. From the original Shimahara Rebellion in history, we can know that the Tokugawa Shogunate sent more than 100,000 troops to suppress the Catholic rebellion for the first time, but he was defeated. The second time he was encircled the Catholic army without food, which was considered successful in suppressing it. Its combat power can be seen from this.

Fourth, the army of the Tokugawa Shogunate was composed of soldiers from all over the country. If the war was smooth, there would be no problem. However, once it faced the strength of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, the Daimyo from all over the country would have little thoughts, and no one wanted to fight to the death, and sacrificed his strength for the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Therefore, when the remnants of the Qing Dynasty fought until near Ishimi Yinshan, the Tokugawa Shogunate's army resisted its offensive and stood firm. The battle was a result of the Tokugawa Shogunate's failure to decay and adjusted its focus. First, it sent a navy to cut off the strait again, and did not allow Kyushu's subsequent enemies to enter Honshu Island continuously. In addition, Tokugawa Iemitsu was also fierce. Instead of losing Ishimi Yinshan, it would be better to take out some of them to work hard in the fierce Daemon everywhere!

Of course, at this time, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty hit the vicinity of Ishimi Yinshan in one breath, and they were a little tired and had to rest. They fought so hard before, and they had to take advantage of the Tokugawa shogunate before they reacted. Another reason was that Dorgon wanted to save Dodo on Shikoku Island. Only when he fought hard in the state would the Tokugawa shogunate not be able to take care of Dodo in Shikoku, so that Dodo could be safe.

In the current situation in Japan, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty are worthy of being used to fighting wars and have already gained a certain advantage.

However, one thing was beyond the expectations of Emperor Chongzhen. When he privately asked about Qian Fugui's situation, he heard Qian Fugui reply: "Your Majesty, in recent days, the Tokugawa shogunate has changed its tactics, which has given Dorgon a headache."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he asked curiously: "How to change the tactics?"

"The Tokugawa shogunate hoarded heavy troops on the front, but did not actively fight." Qian Fugui might have experienced it and reported to the military, and he could talk freely. "But on the side and rear of the Qing Dynasty, he mobilized the army to strengthen the offensive, as if he was specifically attacking the Catholic army, and had achieved some results."

Speaking of this, he thought for a while and added: "Those Catholic armies are actually just peasants. It's okay to defend the city, but once they get out of the wild, they are basically no match for the Tokugawa shogunate army. Dorgon is discussing that he wants Haoge to return to help and protect the flanks!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile. It's very good, I want this effect.

No matter how powerful the remnants of the Qing Dynasty were, the number of people was limited. Although this war was victorious, there were still personnel consumption. Without the help of the Catholic army, the remnants of the Qing Dynasty were just rootless duckweed, and even if the entire Japanese kingdom was defeated, they would not be able to rule.

Thinking of this, he told Qian Fugui, "You use Shijian Yinshan as bait, so that Haoge will not compromise, and then talk about it after the Catholic army in the rear suffers great losses."

"Your Majesty, you don't need to persuade me to do this. Haoge himself doesn't want to leave." Qian Fugui replied quickly, "Haoge's eyes have also been on Shi Jianyinshan. When Dorgon asked him to return to help, he started to scold him, saying that he wanted to throw him away if he had the benefits, so he would not do it!"

"Haha, that's good, let him do it!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and smiled and ordered. This Haoge, Cuncuncun, was a teammate of pigs, had never learned the cleverness of Huang Taiji at all. It's okay to charge in war, but if he made a decision or something, he could only be haha. If he hadn't helped him secretly, he would have been swallowed by Dorgon long ago.

But for now, everything is going according to the scheduled goal in Japan, which is great!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen diverted his attention and turned his eyes to the Tang Kingdom. Now the temporary enemy of the Ming Dynasty is only these two places.

He clicked the icon of the Tang King, and asked privately, "Is there any movement in the Mughal Empire?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, just like before, you are just yelling that yours is unintentional, giving me a sky-high compensation, saying that you should give me good looks." The Tang King replied with a smile, "But the detailed worker sent to the Mughal Empire said that the main force of the Mughals competed with the Persian Empire in the north for Kandahar, and it seemed that there was no stalemate."

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said that this was the best. After thinking about it, he explained to the King of Tang: "Bangladesh Province, we should take this opportunity to spend more time on management. We should give benefits to those poor and slaves. As for those who enjoyed the benefits in the Mughal Empire, our Ming Dynasty could not give more benefits. These people did not have enough sincerity, so we should solve it as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty is wise, I think so too." The King of Tang was happy when he heard this.

In fact, he did have this idea before, because some ministers had already given him advice. However, he was a little unsure, just afraid that Bangladesh would be in chaos. However, with the support of Emperor Chongzhen, he would naturally be bold and had no worries, so he agreed immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen stopped a private chat with the King of Tang, looked at Yang Sichang, but did not contact him.

On the other side of Tianshan Mountain, the troops that had previously pursued the remnants of Mobei have returned. Now the entire Tianshan Mountain is all from the Ming Dynasty. Yang Sichang is guarded by Man Gui, and the army is led by reorganizing the guards and building cities while building them. There will be no war for the time being.

By this calculation, the next focus should be to manage the country well! When the Ming Dynasty's comprehensive strength reaches a higher level, it can expand again.

Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, so he opened the chat group space and looked at the situation of editing household registrations in various places.

Under the household registration folder, there are multiple folders according to the province, and there are sub-folders such as prefecture, county, and township under the province. In each folder, there are specific subdivisions and a summary report document.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen clicked on it and read these summary documents.

Before doing this, the registered population of the Ming Dynasty had been around 50 million. Now, Emperor Chongzhen saw the summaries, and more than 110 million were registered, which had doubled.

However, from the evaluation, there should be more than 50 million people who have not registered. Most of these people who have not registered fled to the mountains and forests, and a small number of them are hiding in foreign countries.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while and then issued an order to set up Wenhua Hall to recruit auxiliary ministers from the cabinet to discuss matters.

Not long after, all the auxiliary ministers in the Beijing cabinet arrived at Wenhua Hall.

Generally speaking, only when there are important things, this is the case. Therefore, Wen Tiren and others were a little curious and didn’t know what was going on?

After the ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to them: "My dear friends, I have considered it. Now, taking advantage of the implementation of the new household registration system of the Ming Dynasty, I plan to regulate marriages. From now on, the marriage status of the people of the Ming Dynasty will be registered under the new household registration. Any marriage must be reported to the government and issued a marriage certificate. Only in this way can it be protected by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. No private agreement will be recognized!"

Even though these cabinet assistants thought about it for a long time, they would never expect that the emperor would say such words.

The "Ming Dynasty Law" stipulates that when a man and a woman get engaged, they need to "everyone should follow their wishes, write a marriage letter, and marry according to the ceremony."

The Ming Hui Dian also stipulates: "Any marriage is governed by grandparents, parents, and grandparents and parents have no marriage, and the rest of my parents will be governed by the marriage."

These are actually decided by both the men and women, even if they are formal. In contrast, there is another type called private agreement, which means that the woman is willing to enter into a marriage if she knows that the man has old, young, disabled, raised, and common people. The man and woman make an appointment without the order of their parents. This kind of private agreement is not allowed by the government.

However, no matter which one it is, it has not been certified by the government, which means it has nothing to do with the government. In the original history, the earliest marriage certificate issued by the government in China was the Dragon and Phoenix Post from the Qing Dynasty.

It means that within seven to ten days after the engagement of a man and a woman, both parties should go to the local county government office to collect the official post of the Dragon and Phoenix and pay taxes. The contents on the post include: the name, age, the names of both parents, the master and the matchmaker, and they must be signed and stamped to show their solemnity. With the approval of the government and stamped with a large seal, it proves that the marriage has been completed.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen proposed this matter at this time not to collect taxes.

The chief assistant Wen Tiren was a little puzzled and told Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, is it for the reason for escaping marriage?"

In the past, there were disadvantages. Because after the marriage was decided, the wedding was still necessary, so the complete process was considered to be a complete process. If the man escaped before the wedding, the woman would have to wait stupidly. Things like this were not uncommon. For this reason, in the Yuan Dynasty, there was a regulation that such a thing would be invalid if the marriage was not completed for five years. However, in this way, the woman's five years of youth would be wasted.

In fact, not only Wen Tiren was puzzled, but other assistants were also puzzled.

The emperor is the emperor of the Nine Five. There are so many things in the world. Suddenly, for such a small matter, he mobilized many troops to summon the cabinet assistants to talk about this matter. They felt that this was too big a problem. With this time, it would be better to deal with the official duties at hand!

Your emperor is good. He has not been diligent in his two years of hard work and has become a hand-off manager. But we are busy! We are even busier!

Emperor Chongzhen saw their expression and knew that they had misunderstood him like Wen Tiren, so he smiled slightly.
Chapter completed!
