"All the changes in Daming began with the appearance of the steam engine!""
Since the advent of the steam engine, the Ming Dynasty has stepped into another lane, industry has begun to replace agriculture and become the focus of the imperial court's attention, and commercial tax and industrial tax have also begun to become the main taxes, and the economy seems to be impossible without expansion."
At this time, Zhu Youxiao also chatted with Bi Ziyan and Hua Yuncheng, who played the role of advisers to the imperial court, and mentioned the changes in the Ming Dynasty over the years."
Before His Majesty ascended the throne, there were rumors that the eldest grandson of the emperor in the palace loved carpentry, at that time, the officials of the two capitals were worried that the emperor and grandson would be deserted in the future, but the old minister did not expect that His Majesty would be good after ascending the throne, and the situation in the world would change greatly.Bi Ziyan also spoke up because of this.And Hua Yuncheng said: "However, there are still many people who disagree with this, thinking that the emergence of the steam engine, that is, after the industrial revolution as His Majesty said, the world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient, so that it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to have a great Confucian!"
He still believes that science and technology do not bring about the progress of civilization, but the corruption of the world's people's hearts and the reversal of the human order, and that when they return to agriculture, they will take people and animals as their strength, abandon machines, and perform their duties as scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, and rule the world together with the king. ”"Those who hold this view must have been called the old man before, right?
They have never tasted hunger, they have not suffered from farming and weaving, so they have to say this!
”Bi Ziyan said.Zhu Youxiao also nodded, and said with a smile: "The so-called industrial revolution always has to get rid of some old things, and getting rid of old things will naturally damage the interests of some people. ”"This is also the reason why Confucianism has been the only study of China for thousands of years, and in addition, because the imperial court has promoted Confucianism to the outside world, so that many people in Korea, Wa and other countries have also become Confucianized at the same time, and they have also become Confucianized, and they feel that the world should return to the real Confucian society!"
Hua Yuncheng replied."
Go on."
Zhu Youxiao furrowed his brows and nodded.After Hua Yuncheng replied, he said, "Your Majesty!
Although the promotion of Confucianism can indeed make many foreigners abandon the idea of nationality and turn from the initiative to the king, but the disadvantages of Confucianism have also been increased, and now it is not only the domestic Confucian scholars who are dissatisfied with the current government of the imperial court, but also foreign Confucian scholars!
”"Although many of them have indeed been sinicized, they have also become too sinicized, and they have also begun to become pedantic, and some are even more pedantic than my Ming Confucian!""
The old minister is thinking, after the Ming Dynasty is really civilized and unified in the future, will the whole world become an expanded Confucian dynasty again?"
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Then let's see how the people of the world choose themselves." ”At this time, Wang Chengen came to Zhu Youxiao, and handed an urgent telegram to Zhu Youxiao, saying: "Back to the emperor, it's a telegram from the northwest!"
His Highness has personally led a large army to conquer the cities of Cheboksall, Nizhny Lovegorod, Vladimir, and Lyubertsy in the Rakshasa Kingdom, and has reached the vicinity of Moscow. ”"Yes, it's already near Moscow."
Zhu Youxiao took the telegram and read it.Then, after Zhu Youxiao looked at it, he said with a smile: "This old fifth, he is really on the way to march to the Rakshasas, and he has carried out the matter that the imperial court asked him to mobilize the Rakshasa people to rebel against their Rakshasa nobles, and he also mobilized these Rakshasa people to take the initiative to rebel!"
Thus, the war went so smoothly. ”"The Fifth Highness is able to fight well, and it seems that he is also quite capable in internal affairs mobilization, such a good talent, in the opinion of the old minister, it is better not to serve as a feudal territory for a long time, unless, Your Majesty wishes that Your Highness the Fifth Highness will inherit the national capital in the future after Your Majesty lives a thousand years."
Bi Ziyan kindly reminded him at this time.Hua Yuncheng also said: "That's right, Your Majesty, if you don't have this intention, it's best not to let His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness reveal his talents!"
”Zhu Youxiao nodded.......
"The fifth has led his troops to the capital of the Rakshasa Kingdom!"
So fast?
”Here, Zhu Cican was also shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "This old five, I really didn't see it, he is very good at leading troops!"
”Zhu Cichen also said: "Yes!
It stands to reason that even if this Rakshasa country was seriously injured last time, it shouldn't be so weak. ”"Do you think that the fifth child said in front of his father that he didn't want to fight for the throne before, but he didn't want to?"
Zhu Cican suddenly asked at this time.Zhu Cichen suddenly realized: "There is such a possibility!
He actually fooled us, but now he quietly brought up troops, second brother, do you think he deliberately reassured his father so well, and then let him lead the troops?
”Zhu Cican couldn't help but glance at Zhu Cican: "This is not necessarily, his usual behavior is not like this!"
You say, if he really doesn't have the intention of fighting for the country, who will he support?
”"I don't know, he has always been kind to several brothers, and he is the same to you, he is a person who seems frivolous on the surface, but he is impartial to everyone."
Zhu Cichen replied.Zhu Cican nodded, his expression became more and more solemn, and he said in his heart: "I usually really ignore him!"
Just pay attention to the big brother. ”......
"Your Highness, there is a battle report from the northwest, and the Fifth Highness led the troops to make rapid progress, and after agitating a large number of Rakshasa people, they successfully attacked near the capital of the Rakshasa Kingdom. ”Yang Tinglin also mentioned this matter to Zhu Ciwei here.Zhu Ciwei nodded: "I already know, sure enough, the ordinary people are organized, the power is terrible, of course, my fifth brother is very good at playing the art of attacking the heart, and it is also true, on the one hand, he used work for relief, attracting a large number of Rakshasa people to gather, and then took the opportunity to mobilize households, and also divided the fields and production, and on the other hand, he encouraged them to do eyeliner to help the army build momentum, and he actually only sent a small number of troops, using the fake officers and soldiers of the Rakshasa people, but he was also scared that those Rakshasa defenders were defeated. ”"This Fifth Highness is quite talented, isn't Your Highness worried?"
Yang Tinglin asked.Zhu Ciwei laughed: "What am I worried about, this is a good thing." ”"Doesn't Your Highness want to find a way to deal with the Fifth Highness, once the Fifth Highness has made great achievements in the northwest and accumulated enough prestige in the army, it will become a threat to Your Highness in the future?"
Yang Tinglin asked.Zhu Ciwei glanced at him: "This doesn't need to be dealt with!"
Let those who appear to be brothers, friends and brothers do this kind of thing that is not conducive to unity. ”"But!"
Yang Tinglin wanted to say more."
Enough!"
Zhu Ciwei slapped the table and asked, "Are you coming to me today because I served as the governor of Nagasaki and had contact with the vassals of the Wa Kingdom, and you asked me about going to the Wa Kingdom to exterminate the royal family of the Wa Kingdom, or did you come to provoke my brotherly relationship?!"
If it's the former, I'll answer you seriously, and if it's the latter, ask Yang Gong to leave here immediately!
”Yang Tinglin is not easy to say.Immediately after arriving in Edo, Yang was received by Masayuki Hoshina, the uncle of Tokugawa Ietsuna, the shogun of the Wakuni Shogunate, who was also an important minister of the shogunate.After Baoke Zhengzhi saw Yang Tinglin, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "I've seen an angel!"
I wonder if the Holy Emperor can be safe?
