"Or use the current method, let the domestic magnates who have ideas apply for funding to recruit troops, and the other is to let those few vassal states that are regarded as the Holy Emperor contribute troops, and the imperial court can also draw a small number of elites to form an alliance army and go to the West!"
Zhu Youxiao has long had the intention of letting go to the West, but because there are too many more important things, he will have time to take action in the future.What's more, it does require a lot of cost in the early stage of going to the West.Zhu Youxiao knew that if the Ming Dynasty wanted to go to the Western Ocean again, he had to accumulate more national strength, after all, this time he went to the Western Ocean not only to reach the Red Sea coast as in history, but also to cross the Cape of Good Hope, through Gibraltar, to Europe, and preferably across the Atlantic and to the Americas.Therefore, his idea of going to the West has been delayed until now.But now, since Zhu Youxiao has explored a new method, that is, in the name of promoting Confucian civilization, mobilize all Confucian countries in the East, and use it as a bait to allow it to establish its own vassal state to make domestic magnates contribute to the West, and then share the cost of going to the West, instead of the Ming court alone to bear the cost of going to the West, it is natural that he can carry out the activities of going to the West in advance."
Yes!"
The Auxiliary Ministers did not object, after all, the Imperial Court did need to go to the West to seize trade routes, and could further dominate the global commodity market.Bi Ziyan also took the initiative to suggest: "It just so happens that the fleet that was ordered to go to Australia has now returned to Haojing, and after it has rested for a period of time, it will be responsible for going to the West." ”"Accurate!"
So, about a year later, on the order of the Holy Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Western fleet from all sides was assembled here, and under the leadership of the Ming general Shen Shouyao, the military operation to the Western Ocean was officially started.Although the purpose of this trip to the West is to maintain the existing trade routes, arrest the king of Spain, and make Spain pay for this matter, and work with other European countries to establish global trade and human rights rules with the people sent by the Ming Dynasty, so as to reduce slaughter and achieve the progress of world civilization, but in essence, it is to seize some areas as colonies of Eastern countries such as the Ming Dynasty, after all, the trade routes cannot only be controlled by Westerners.Now there is no one who does not know how much profit can be brought by this route from Daming, Japan, India and other places to Europa.Therefore, after Zhu Youxiao ordered all vassal states to form a fleet with the Ming Dynasty to go to the Western Ocean, these vassal states responded positively.In particular, some of the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, after seeing the benefits of the Satsuma Domain's participation in the Luzon civilization transformation project, were very willing to compete with the Ming Empire for global interests.Many of the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom no longer worship the Emperor as their king, but instead worship the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.There are also many daimyo who should serve the Emperor as their king because of their practical interests, and they should also serve the Ming Emperor as their king.Even the shogunate is now serving the emperor as the king, and at the same time coercing the emperor to order many daimyos, and at the same time serving the emperor as the king.And it is convenient to follow the Ming Dynasty to seize global interests.Luzon's civilization transformation program has reached its second step.The Koreans, the Japanese, and others began to build Confucian civilization in their own spheres of influence, erecting statues of Confucian saints, building Confucian temples, creating the imperial examination system, and establishing the hierarchical order of scholars, farmers, and businessmen.The reason why the Koreans and the Japanese did this is related to Ma Xuan and other Confucian scholars who took refuge in the past, and they took advantage of the admiration of the Ming Dynasty and the respect for Chinese culture among the officials sent by these countries to rule here, and fooled these officials into replicating the miniature version of the Ming Dynasty before Zhu Youxiao's accession to the throne, to be precise, the miniature version of the Great Song Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty had Jinyiwei and Dongchang, etc., while the ruling system established by the Koreans and the Japanese in their own spheres of influence did not have Jinyiwei and Dongchang.Why were Korean officials and Japanese officials who ruled their respective spheres of influence fooled by Confucian scholars such as Ma Xuan in Luzon?
The reason is very simple, these officials are also scholars in their countries, and their butts are also sitting on the side of scholars, and they are very willing to accept this system of exclusive respect for Confucian scholars and all inferior scholars are only high-level scholars.Because of this, Ma Xuan and other Confucian scholars were very popular in the spheres of influence of Korea and Japan, and almost became the number two people in these places.However, this does not mean that this will make North Korea, Japan, etc. more respectful of the Ming Dynasty.On the contrary, the existence of these people has made North Korea, Japan and other countries have a declining sense of reverence for the Ming Dynasty.Because these Confucian scholars are more hostile than Koreans and Japanese, the Ming Dynasty, which is equal to the people except for the emperor, has begun to appear.Therefore, these Confucian scholars will wait in front of Korean officials and Japanese officials to black the Ming Dynasty, believing that the true Taoist system of China has been brought to Korea and Japan by them, and the Ming Dynasty and the vassal states that implement the existing system model of the Ming Dynasty are no longer pure ceremonial states, and say that the Ming Dynasty is now a traitor in charge and a faint monarch in power.Of course, based on the strong national strength of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, Japan and other countries still have a sense of awe for the Ming Dynasty and dare not have a sense of neglect and contempt.However, for the Chongzhen Kingdom established by Zhu Youzhen, because Zhu Youzhen was deeply influenced by Zhu Youxiao, and the reproduction is the current Ming Dynasty, and it is a relatively small feudal state, so it is also madly despised by Ma Xuan and other Confucian scholars who have taken refuge in Korea or Japan, and it can even be said to be hateful, and they are more eager than Korea, Japan and others to disappear from the earth.It is not surprising that people who do not love their hometown often hate their hometown more than outsiders.Zhu Youzhen established the Chongzhen State in Manila did not erect a statue of a Confucian saint, nor did he exempt the gentry from taxes, and under the influence of Zhu Youxiao, he believed that the Chinese civilization originated from the Bagua Yin and Yang created by Fuxi, so at the beginning the collected taxes were used to build water conservancy projects, which were in line with the art of Bagua, in order to conform to nature, and also make use of nature, and divide the land among the people, and encourage the people to reclaim the wasteland, and set up mutual aid societies, so that each family has different agricultural tools to complement each other, and also promote education, popularize Chinese language and mathematics, and carry out technical training and military training for young and strong.
Establish a complete industrial system and education system, and the statues erected are only the statues of Zhu Youxiao, Yan Huang and Zheng He.The biggest difference between this and the ruling model of Korea, Japan and other countries in Luzon is that because the gentry are not exempt from taxes, although the tax revenue is higher than that of Korea and Japan, the tax burden of the common people is relatively low, and the tax revenue is also used more to promote the people's livelihood, so that the living conditions of the common people here have been greatly improved.Although it was only one year, the living conditions of both Han Chinese and Tu people were much better than when the Spanish colonizers were in power.The lives of civilians in Korea, Japan and other countries were much worse than those in the days when the Spanish colonists were in power, because the Koreans, Japanese, Confucian and Han Chinese who defected to them had to exploit and suppress the natives, so that the local natives had to flee to Chongzhen.For this reason, North Korea, Japan and other countries have promulgated fugitive laws in their local governments, and implemented very severe punishments for natives who fled to Manila, and those who fled to Manila will be killed!
