Ming Zuo

Chapter 1641 Death of the Ming Dynasty
Hou Xun resigned from office and Chen Zhi took office.

The whole process went very smoothly.

After all, everyone has already made plans a long time ago, and the corresponding handover work has actually been going on.

Chen Zhi has been the deputy cabinet minister for many years, and she is no stranger to the work of the prime minister.

Compared with Hou Xun, he has no traditional temperament at all, and is a new generation who is completely forging ahead.

It can be said that Chen Zhi is a politician completely trained by Zuo Menggeng.

Except for his status as a scholar at the beginning, he doesn't have much ties to the culture of the old era.

This caused his thinking when looking at things to be completely on the same track as Zuo Menggeng, and he also fully accepted Zuo Menggeng's thinking.

The Legislative Council will never make trouble in this kind of matter. After a happy review, it was submitted to Zuo Menggeng for approval.

With the approval of Zuo Menggeng, the emperor's imperial pen, Chen Zhi's status as the prime minister of the cabinet will officially come into effect.

After unloading a heavy burden, Hou Xun also relaxed a lot.

After all, he has been in charge of such a large country for more than ten years, with a vast territory of tens of thousands of miles, and the energy consumption of people is extremely huge.

He is over 60 years old, and he is really beyond his capacity to undertake such a job.

"Although the old man has been an official for many years, he has always been in the Central Plains, and he has never even been to the frontier. This trip to Temasek can be considered to be able to experience exotic customs."

The old man Hou Xun chatted about his youth madness, and after everyone saw him off, he boarded the boat to Temasek.

It is conceivable that the person who once served as the prime minister of the imperial cabinet came to Southeast Asia, and the shock it caused was conceivable.

This also allowed Temasek to quickly become solid and stable.

Before this, although the development here was rapid, but looking around, the surrounding area was full of foreign countries.

The Han people are frightened to make money here, for fear that one day a foreign race will come and kill them.After all, the empire's troops here are limited, so they can only maintain the waterway in front of them.

Moreover, for hundreds of years, the Han people who went to Nanyang have never received any support from the mainland, so when they were wandering abroad, the feeling of fear and fear was always difficult to eliminate.

it's good now.

The former imperial prime minister and prince came to serve as the Temasek government, which is enough to show that the empire attaches great importance to this place.

Even if the troops here have not increased, everyone knows that if Xiaoxiao dares to covet, he will just wait for the mighty army of the empire to come and kill him.

Various forces in Southeast Asia also attached great importance to Hou Xun's arrival.

Siamese King Bassetoon even rushed to Temasek in person, showing Siam's loyalty and closeness to the empire.

"At present, the second batch of business teams from the empire to Europe is about to leave, and the value of the accompanying goods is very huge. If Siam wants to go with them, it can be prepared now."

Siam's kindness was rewarded here by Hou Xun.

Everyone in Siam was elated when they heard that the empire allowed to follow the business, but they were embarrassed.

"His Royal Highness King Yu doesn't know something, and it is our Siamese honor to be taken care of by the Shang Kingdom. It's just that our Siamese boats are difficult to travel across the sea, and I'm afraid we will fail the great love of the Shang Kingdom."

The great opportunity to make money is right in front of you, but you can't grasp it, Siam wants to cry but has no tears.

This problem is not a problem for Hou Xun.

"You can rent a ship from the empire, or you can use the income from ocean trade to pay for the purchase of the ship. I can approve it here."

The method proposed by Hou Xun not only made the Siamese extremely happy, but also the rest of the Southeast Asian countries.

Seeing the merchant ships of the empire running around and making a lot of money all these years, how could they not be jealous?
However, the shipbuilding technology is not good, and the sea power is insufficient, but they can only stare blankly.

Now that the empire has started selling large sea ships to them, what are you waiting for?
As a result, within a month of Hou Xun's arrival at Temasek, he brought back more than 300 orders for various Galen merchant ships for the country, the value of which exceeded 400 million taels of silver.

Among the people waiting to see Hou Xun, the Burmese were the most tormented.

They misjudged the situation before and blindly supported the Canming court, but they were severely taught by the empire with force.

It wasn't until Mangbai launched a coup with the support of the princes and nobles and surrendered to the empire that he avoided the danger of destroying the country.

But what will happen next, with Hou Xun's arrival, the decision is in his hands.

"The rebels of Remnant Ming are still living in Burma, and they are always a hidden danger to the empire. If Burma wants to get the favor of the empire, you must show your sincerity."

The Burmese envoy hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will immediately capture the disabled people and hand them over to the Shang Kingdom for disposal."

Hou Xun didn't speak, and his cold eyes were like a poisonous tongue, which made the Burmese envoy feel like a light on his back.

He suddenly understood, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He hurried back to the country and reported the attitude of the empire to Mangbai.

Mangbai was also a little bit battered at this time.

Although he became king through a coup, he also chose to surrender to the empire.But under the impact of the empire, the authority of the royal family was greatly damaged.

There are many hills in Myanmar, and they are doing their own thing. Nowadays, the royal family is even less regarded in various places.

He really wanted to pacify the local emperors everywhere, but the unknown attitude of the National Defense Forces made him dare not act rashly.

Now the envoy finally brought the exact request, and Mangbai is also the ruthless master.

After he gave orders, the court of Remnant Ming was in bad luck.

These days, the life of Emperor Yongli, Mu Tianbo, Sun Kewang and others is very bad.

They have experienced many twists and turns, and escaped several times. As a result, the wealth they carried has already been exhausted.

When they arrived in Myanmar, the Burmese didn't have any respect for them, and they didn't even provide them with food.

The court of the remnant Ming Dynasty sat on the mountain and ate nothing, and it had reached the point where the mountains and rivers were exhausted.

Many people have fled quietly, returned to the country, or surrendered to the National Defense Forces.

The court of the remnant Ming Dynasty had to relocate many times, for fear of being found by the National Defense Forces.

But after such tossing, their life became more and more difficult.

Even Emperor Yongli started to go hungry, so the situation can be imagined.

But they didn't know that under Hou Xun's hint, their doomsday had come.

Burmese officials rushed into the residence of the Remnant Court with a large army, and arrested them all without giving them a chance to react.

Sun Kewang was rebellious and had a premonition of danger, so he hurriedly led his subordinates to resist.

However, under the prolonged hunger, there were not many of his subordinates left. As a result, they were all decapitated under the siege of the Burmese.

Seeing the blood everywhere, Emperor Yongli and Mu Tianbo trembled.

"Does the Burmese king want to disregard ethics and hand us over to the rebels?"

Burmese officials turned a deaf ear to their questioning, and just gestured casually.

Burmese soldiers rushed forward with a grinning grin.

On this day, the barren mountains were filled with blood, and even the nearby rivers were completely dyed red.

None of the people who fled with Emperor Yongli, Mu Tianbo, Sun Kewang and others were let go, and all of them were slaughtered.

The heads of Emperor Yongli, Mu Tianbo, and Sun Kewang were put in a box, and the Burmese sent them to the national defense force quickly.

The absurd remnant regime, the last twilight of the Ming Dynasty, finally dissipated in the endless rainforest of Myanmar.
