Chapter 2311: Community members kneel

The community members can't help but kneel!

If you continue to fight like this, people will be lost and everything will be lost. Even if you beat the heretics in the East, it doesn't make much sense.

Today is the age of ignorance, no one has evolved, and conquest is an open fire, no one blames.

Don Kokooni walked into Palermo with a group of community leaders and their disciples to the former governor's palace. Now the headquarters of the South China Army reports to Chen Qiao.

The people in the city witnessed this scene, as well as the Spanish aristocrats (these people are given preferential treatment because they may get a ransom, and the South China Army deliberately let them see what they can’t do, but our South China Empire can do it. ).

The nobles were amazed when they saw how mysterious and arrogant community members had entered the city before.

It turns out that these peasant heads, butchers, businessmen and other figures are members of the community who have caused them a great headache!

I have to say that the admiration of the nobles for the Eastern pagans has increased.

This is a historic scene. Chen Qiao received the leaders of the community members. After a brief meeting between the two sides, it was decided that Don Kokooni would be the deputy director of the Sicilian Appeasement Office of the South China Empire, and the other leaders would serve as committee members.

The term appeasement has existed in China in ancient times, and it means to appease and keep the place calm. The Southern China Empire established an appeasement office in the newly occupied area to appease the local people and at the same time set up a new imperial alliance. ", self-defense, construction of fortifications, and the dispatch of water and land police, security teams within its jurisdiction, and local self-defense forces, training, and use are all handled by the Appeasement Office.

For example, Tang Kokooni, as a local power faction, can serve as a local stabilizer in Sicily by assuming the post of the Appeasement Commission. ,

If the place is unstable, Don Kokooni is responsible, he dare not give up.

And as long as he did, he would sow the seeds of suspicion among the Spaniards. Even if the Chinese could not defend Sicily and the Spaniards returned home, they would not trust Don Kokooni. Don Kokooni also knew how powerful he was, but he couldn't resist the army.

The leaders felt a little bit happy that the South China Army did not destroy the churches inside and outside the city, and even Palermo Cathedral was not completely destroyed, and repairs are being organized now.

Chen Qiao asked Don Kokooni about the whereabouts of Courtois Federico. After all, it was he who defeated the Assassin's Army and made the Asans worry.

Oh, he didn't return to the team, he was nowhere to be seen!

Since Chen Qiao told Don Kokooni that he had not blamed his past, Courtois Federico is not in danger of life, and there is no need to lie to him.

So I went to check, and it was clear that Courtois Federico was dead, and Don Kokooni was annoyed and said: "Spaniards are all liars!"

He and the Spaniards are not pleasing to the eye. Fortunately, they are still brothers of the same religion and the Spaniards. On the contrary, the pagans of the East are more reliable.

This is quite common in Europe. For example, Catholic France once bred brothers with Protestant Britain and the Netherlands, and jointly dealt with Catholic Spain, Austria, and Italy. The Orthodox Greeks first believed in Baotou, and then stood in unbelief. On the South China Empire side, they did not believe in the Pope to death, even if they all worshiped the same God!

Therefore, the South China Army and Don Kokooni can cooperate, and Sicily temporarily returns to the South China Empire.

Now the war in Europe has gradually become fierce. On land, the South China Army used short assaults to attack the border defense lines of Austria, sometimes even attacking, and the fighting was very serious.

Cannons boomed in the Mediterranean, the South China Fleet and the White Fleet were chasing, the Marines attacked the coastline, or some people said that Admiral Cheng Yu organized troops to fight the Roman city, broke the Catholic lair, captured the Pope, and made a lifeless contribution. .

Cheng Yu borrowed a classic saying: "I want to put my house on fire!"

During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan had a bad intention and wanted to frame Cao Cao for unrighteousness. He wrote a letter to persuade Cao Cao to become emperor, and Cao Cao said this sentence with a clear mind.

And Cheng Yujiu followed the emperor, knowing that the emperor had the righteousness of "one king does not kill the king of another country." If Cheng Yuzhen caught the Pope of Rome, it would not necessarily be a great feat, it might be a great demerit.

If the Pope of Rome died, Cheng Yu would become the target of public criticism.

Not only him, but even Xiping stayed behind, and the second prince Yan Yu did not order a full-scale attack. He was waiting for the emperor's arrival to preside over the European war.

So, why hasn't the emperor come yet?

The emperor didn't come because of monster moths in two places.

...

Daming, Nanjing, Imperial Palace.

There is also an emperor Zhu Heping here. He is the son of Yan Changwu and Princess Zhu Zhenzhen of Daming. He became the emperor from his mother's surname.

It's just that the subjects of the two Chinas say that there is one emperor, that is, the emperor of the Nanhua Empire and Yan Changwu, the king of Southeastern Ming Dynasty.

The reputation of Emperor Zhu Heping of Daming is far inferior to that of his father. Although he is not like Yan Changwu and Yingming Shenwu, he came to a Xiaogui Cao Sui, imitating Nanhua, putting people first, and he was firmly on the throne.

Now that the whole world of Ming Dynasty is rising and the country is flourishing, it should be a good situation, but Zhu Heping is in a frenzy!

Because the admiral Cao Dahai, the public secretary of the East Factory, said that the officials along the Grand Canal colluded with the local tycoons and greeted most of the relief money awarded by the court, so that the people were not living, and the people were displaced. The bold people gathered together, although they would not rebel. Local armed separatism is also possible, and the yamen are disabled!

China has a well-known Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. During the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Canal was very prosperous and had the function of transporting money and grain from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing.

After the Xinming Dynasty, Nanjing was established as the capital, and Beijing was the accompanying capital. Even with the prosperous shipping, water transport was prosperous.

Because the transportation was backward in ancient times, water transportation was by ship, which saved time and effort, and the transportation of materials by humans and animals was not the same as ship transportation.

The economic development of the provinces on both sides of the Grand Canal will ensure that water transportation has not declined. A large number of people rely on water transportation for food.

Since last winter, the provinces along the Grand Canal have scarce rain, and there is not much rain this spring. There is drought everywhere, and the water level of Lake Tai has dropped by five meters, while Dongting Lake can simply run horses on the lake. The canal is short of water and blocked, and the transportation of water is almost cut off!

The half a million watermen along the canal have had no livelihoods for several months. Not only are they affected. The local farmers have no water to grow food and become hungry, waiting to be fed.

If it were in the pre-Ming Dynasty, it would have been a catastrophe, but Zhu Heping encountered such a situation, which made him think that he could handle it better than Emperor Chongzhen.

The reason is simple, he has money and food!

Unlike Emperor Chongzhen’s poor B, Zhu Heping actively developed the economy~www.wuxiaspot.com~strict taxation---some officials once persuaded him not to compete with the people for profit. He sternly refused, saying that those who dare to speak will be dismissed from office, and officials who cannot collect taxes will be dealt with. Since then, he has not dared to make irresponsible remarks on tax collection.

The imperial court’s fiscal revenue is abundant, and the treasury’s revenue is increasing.

Moreover, if the treasury has no money, it will soon have money if it issues treasury bonds or something.

Agriculture is on the go, actively building water conservancy projects, increasing the gold content of science and technology, and increasing grain output.

Although the population has increased and the grain output has not kept up with the increase in population, there is a steady stream of imported rice and noodles overseas. National grain storage depots have been established everywhere. In the event of a disaster, it is easy to distribute money and food for disaster relief.

Zhu Heping also thought it was an easy task. He never expected that the officials would embezzle the relief money and food, and put the emperor in an unrighteous manner, so that the victims could not survive, and the country was even shaken!

Because Daming learned from Nanhua to pay high salaries to officials, Zhu Heping was outraged by looking at what the meat eaters did.
