My life skills in Daming Liver

When the firecrackers in Nanjing and the capital went off at the same time.

The time came to the fifth year of the New Calendar and the third year of the Wanli Calendar, 1567 AD.

After the New Year's Eve vigil, Grand Governor Su Ze led the cabinet and went to the garrison stations around Nanjing to pay homage to the soldiers guarding Nanjing on the first day of the new year, and then sent food to Nanjing's almshouses and orphanages.

The whole city of Nanjing was decorated with lanterns and colors to celebrate the fruitful achievements achieved by Southeast Asia this year.

Hanzhong was captured, Shuzhong was annexed, and Yunnan and Guizhou surrendered.

Annan surrendered to Korea and occupied Manila.

This year is the year when the territory of the Southeast has expanded the fastest. A map of the entire Asia was published in the newspaper on the first day of the year. This issue of the newspaper was sold out. The people bought the map and colored it. For the first time, they saw that the territory of the Southeast surpassed the control of the Ming Dynasty. Regional and national unification seems just around the corner.

The growth of national power is also reflected in people's lives.

When Su Ze just occupied Nanjing, Nanjing was still in a state of decline. At that time, the night banquet on the Qinhuai River had nothing to do with ordinary people. The dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing were intoxicated, and ordinary people could have a full meal during the New Year.

At the height of the Japanese rebellion, Japanese pirates rampaged across the south of the Yangtze River and even reached the gates of Nanjing.

At that time, Nanjing's taxes were like a mountain, weighing on the heads of ordinary people.

The past few years since the Governor took over Nanjing have been like a dream.

During the Chinese New Year, almost every household has a bite of meat. The market for buying new year's goods is open from New Year's Eve to New Year's Eve. On New Year's Day, there are still people who don't rest, selling some snacks and festive New Year's things.

When the old people in Nanjing look back on those days, they feel that today's days are like paradise.

Su Ze had a busy day. He didn't start visiting relatives and friends until the second day of the Lunar New Year, and he didn't stop until the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Many major events have happened in the past four years of the New Year. At this time, Su Ze was holding a letter sent back from distant Europe.

This is a letter written from the Netherlands three months ago. It records what happened in Europe.

After finishing his housework, Su Ze immediately opened the letter.

"The Governor Zunqi:"

"The Governor is very knowledgeable, and as you have seen, there is an uprising in the Netherlands against the Spanish monarch."

As Suze had expected, due to the Spanish royal family's brutal expropriation in the Netherlands and the Spanish rulers' harsh Catholic policies, the earliest anti-imperialist movement finally broke out in the Netherlands.

“At the beginning, the resistance in the Netherlands was at the religious level. A large number of Protestants rushed into the church, burned the icons of the church, destroyed the holy relics stored in these churches, and also rushed into the Inquisition. All those imprisoned by the Inquisition were released.”

"The rebellion lasted for several months and quickly evolved from a purely religious movement into a rebellion against Spanish rule."

"The Spanish royal family immediately dispatched troops and carried out a bloody suppression in the Netherlands."

All of this development is the same as the historical timeline before Su Ze traveled through time.

The Netherlands was the Dutch region in later generations, and is now a region with developed commerce and handicraft industry.

Religious conflicts are the surface of conflicts in today's continent, while internal conflicts are between the bourgeoisie and the feudal aristocracy.

"The Grand Governor's judgment was correct. Behind the rebellion in the Netherlands, there were shadows of Britain, France and Germany. Some of the rebels fled into France after their defeat, and France gave these believers asylum."

France today is the biggest troublemaker in Europe.

Unlike France in later generations, which was ridiculed for surrendering every day on the Internet, today's France is considered to be full of martial virtue in Europe.

The reason is also very simple. France is the first country in Europe to establish a centralized system that adapts to the development of the times.

In an era when the languages ​​of the various German states were not yet unified.

There were still many papal states on the Italian peninsula, and people had to pay taxes when leaving the city.

There was internal corruption in Spain, and the viceroyalties acted like independent kingdoms.

France had already begun the path of centralization.

Eliminate the privileges of local nobles in the country, establish a unified tax rate, and eliminate trade barriers everywhere.

Although this series of measures may not be aimed at economic development, they have objectively promoted the development of the French economy.

French bourgeoisie have developed rapidly, and the competitiveness of French goods has also been rapidly strengthened.

As France's national power increases, the geopolitical nightmare hanging over France becomes more and more obvious.

In today's Europe, the Habsburg family can be said to be flourishing and the well-deserved overlord of Europe.

In northern France, the emperors of the German states were members of the Habsburg family.

In the south of France, the King of Spain was a member of the Habsburg family.

In northwest France, the Netherlands and other Low Countries were the territory of the Habsburg family.

It can be said that the entire France is surrounded by the territory of the Habsburg family.

There are many lands among them, which are claimed by France, but are controlled by the nobles controlled by the Habsburg family.

In addition, France is strengthening the centralization of power and wants to take back power from the local nobles. Naturally, the Habsburg family, which relies on blood and noble rule, cannot pee in a pot.

That's why France stirs up trouble everywhere in Europe, sometimes uniting with the Ottomans, sometimes supporting the Netherlands, still igniting the Protestant areas of Germany, and even looking for trouble with the Spanish in the Americas.

"Some time ago, my subordinates heard the news that Suleiman I, the emperor of the Ottoman Empire who conquered Vienna in the west, died of illness on the front line. The Ottoman prime minister did not announce the funeral in secret. After the victory, he placed Suleiman I's body in spices and immediately Lead the army back to Istanbul, the capital, and support the new emperor to the throne."

Suleiman I is still dead.

The Ottoman emperor, who pushed the Ottoman Empire to its peak, finally died on the battlefield at the age of 72, which also made Su Ze a little sad.

In the historical timeline before his time travel, Jiajing, like Suleiman I, died in 1566 AD.

Maybe it was because Jiajing abdicated early that he could not continue to take the elixir?

These events are still on the historical track, but the other contents of the Daguan letter are completely different from the original history.

"The printing press in the Netherlands translated your works by the Grand Governor, and also translated these works into French and German versions. Your works gained great popularity in Europe, and scholars in Europe now regard you as an idol."

"Even the Dutch shouted the slogan that our sovereignty in the southeast lies with the people, and my subordinates contacted Prince William of Orange, the ruling prince of the Netherlands. This prince admired your doctrine very much and hoped to send some progressive nobles here. Let’s study in the Southeast.”

"Prince William of Orange also hopes to await support from our south-east."
