The Ming army that landed on the shore, in addition to being the combat unit to attack Annam, was accompanied by the anti-smoking Si Jinyi Guard, who was responsible for investigating Wuxiang.These brocade guards, unlike other brocade guards, wear an extra armband with a non-smoking sign.Here, when the other Ming troops began to arrange the beachhead after landing, there was a group of such brocade guards, walking towards Frank and Ruan Wei and others.When Frank saw this kind of brocade guard, his eyes widened on the spot.He is no stranger to this kind of new Jinyi Guard, who has not been out for a long time.Because he knew that this kind of brocade guard had recently come out to be responsible for banning smoking, and he was very ruthless, and many of his friends who smuggled black incense were destroyed in the hands of these people.It's the same with Nguyen Wei.Therefore, the two of them trembled when they saw the brocade guard who was in charge of the anti-smoking ceremony."
Who are you and what do you do?"
Lu Ting, who was in charge of the smoking ban, asked about Ruan Wei and Frank and others.Ruan Weixian replied tremblingly in Chinese: "Master Hui, we are all merchants, I am a local merchant in Saigon, I am in the porcelain business, and I am going to sell it to the West. ”"Porcelain?"
Lu Ting asked, and then gave his subordinates a look: "Open!"
”"Yes!"
So, there was a brocade guard ready to open the cargo boxes that had just been unloaded and piled up on the shore.The Ming annexation of Annam did not choose to attack from land, because the mountainous area in the north of Annam, which was formed by tropical rainforests, was not convenient for the Ming army's mechanized infantry regiments to march.And it is also easy for the Annan native soldiers, who are more familiar with the local area, to carry out a sneak attack.Therefore, Da Ming is now taking advantage of his strong sailors to break through directly along the coast of Annam, from multiple points.Annam had limited forces and was in a state of division, so he naturally could not stop the Ming army attacking from the sea.The Jinyi Guard, who was in charge of the ban on smoking, would enter Annam with the field troops responsible for attacking Annam to check whether there was any smuggling of black incense.Now Ruan Wei and Frank are also considered unlucky, and they really bumped into the Ming army who was about to land and the non-smoking brocade guards who came with them."
Wait!"
Therefore, Ruan Wei hurriedly shouted at this time, and said to Lu Ting with a smile: "Official Rongyu, these are really just porcelain!"
The small one is willing to pay you 30,000 yuan of silver coins, and please raise your noble hand!
”As a small hundred-hundred-hundredBecause these brocade guards who are responsible for banning smoking are strictly selected and strictly tested by the internal factory in terms of style, Ruan Wei's direct way of bribing did not make him stop thinking, but was more certain that these people were doing illegal things."
Head, it's Wuxiang!""
All of them!"
At this time, the brocade guard, who had already opened the wooden box, reported to Lu Ting.After hearing this, Lu Ting immediately shouted: "Escort all these people, including their black slaves!"
”In this era, because the population of the West was relatively small, when they were doing colonization and smuggling trade abroad, they often hired black slaves to do things for them.And now, Frank, as a smuggler in England, naturally brought black slaves with him.Frank wanted to resist, but he knew he couldn't, because their guns weren't as fast as the Ming army's.And like Frank, there are many Yingyi who were arrested for smuggling black incense.After Zhu Youxiao ordered the elite forces of Jinyi Wei to be specially used to strictly investigate the case of smuggling black incense to Daming for sale, the number of Yingyi who were captured increased dramatically.You must know that many of these Jinyi guards were the backbone of intelligence work in Mongolia, Korea, and the Japanese countries in the past, and it was only because it was inconvenient for many people to break into the white world that they were transferred to investigate the smuggling of Wuxiang.Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
On the execution ground, rows of Yingyi, black slaves and merchants who helped them smuggle knelt on the ground in prison uniforms, and then were shot to death one by one by the patrol guards of the criminal department in charge of the execution.The prisoners who were not shot naturally trembled because of this, some of them shouted for God, and some begged for mercy.However, there are also Yingyi who have not been disposed of.These Yingyi are all people who promised to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to smuggle black incense into their own country in order to survive.Although Yingyi has already given birth to national ideas in this era.But this is not to say that Yingyi is not willing to choose to sell his country for the sake of his life and the benefits of smuggling black incense to his country.Frank chose to do so.He was afraid of death.He confessed that he was sorry for God for doing so.But he thinks that God will forgive him, and will blame the Ming people for all these sins.Frank, accompanied by several Ming merchants, first went to St.
Petersburg, where they were to take a ship to England and smuggle incense.And the Ming Dynasty wanted to make Frank and these heroes willing to smuggle the black incense back to China, and they also used some means, that is, to make these people also infected with the addiction caused by the powder suck purified by the chemical institutions under Jinyiwei, and this kind of thing is a top-secret medicine made by Jinyiwei to control the prisoners, and the addiction produced is many times the effect of the black incense, so if Frank wants to get this kind of thing from Jinyiwei, he must see that he is selling black incense to his own people by the people who accompany him as an Annanite.Frank was more successful, and as soon as he returned to England, he used various methods to make hundreds of Yingyi addicted to black incense.At this time, King Charles II of England was planning to let his royal family fund the establishment of a company dedicated to smuggling black incense to Asia, because he had to admit that the Ming Kingdom and its vassal countries in Asia were too rich, and his people had already made huge profits by smuggling black incense.Because of this era, the Ming Dynasty grabbed most of the global interests into its own hands, so it also accelerated the pace of the Yingyi people who wanted to make huge profits by smuggling black incense, and even the king was stimulated to use the company to carry out organized business activities to smuggle black incense to Ming and other Asian countries.However, what Charles II doesn't know now is that Da Ming is already strictly prohibiting smoking, and he does not hesitate to draw the most capable Jinyi guard forces to do this.On the contrary, his own country is being eroded by its meanness."
Your Majesty, we cannot but ignore the threat of the Ming Kingdom, and we must establish close cooperation with the countries of the mainland (European continent) as soon as possible, in order to resist the invasion of the Easterners in the future, because that terrible Eastern Empire they have destroyed the Rakshasa State, severely defeated the two great powers of Sweden and Poland, its battle flag has fluttered on the Baltic Sea coast, and the Netherlands has also become their jurisdiction, and this Eastern Empire is increasing the pace of westward expansion!"
But the rulers of England are not ignorant of the Ming Dynasty, their in-laws are all over Europe, and they still have rich information channels, and James, Duke of York, mentioned the Ming Dynasty again to Charles II at this time.Charles II nodded and said: "You are right, you are currently considering the candidate to send envoys to the countries, maybe you will want to go to the great nobleman in person when the time comes!"
”As he spoke, Charles II walked into a large spinning mill belonging to his king's industry, and looked at the Ming-made multi-spindle spinning machine that was constantly being produced inside, and suddenly asked Xu Qianxue, the adviser of the Ming State beside him: "Mr.
Xu, how many years has this spinning machine appeared in the Ming Kingdom?"
”"About fifty years!
Now the Ming Kingdom has been spinning with pure machines for almost 30 years. ”Xu Qianxue replied.Nowadays, global trade is becoming more and more prosperous, and the Ming Dynasty also has its own sphere of influence in the West, many Western nobles have begun to pay attention to contact with the scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and even take the initiative to recruit some scholars who are dissatisfied with the current administrative system of the Ming Dynasty to do things for themselves., and Xu Qianxue, who was smuggled into England from the Ming Dynasty, is a representative of these people.And because he was born in the Jiangnan Wang family, he has a very clear understanding of the prosperity of the Ming industry, so he is a relatively good representative of these people, and he has always been trusted by Charles II.Charles II also knighted him and married him his favorite daughter.This is undoubtedly a very exceptional behavior in Europe, which attaches great importance to aristocratic blood, and it also shows that Charles II values Xu Qianxue very much.Of course, the deeper reason is that the strong international influence of the Ming Dynasty has given every Han an aristocratic halo, even if it is a Han like Xu Qianxue who has chosen to betray his motherland.Xu Qianxue is naturally very grateful to Charles II and works for Charles II with all his heart.However, Charles II was very disappointed after hearing Xu Qianxue like this, but he still smiled and said: "Even the gap in spinning is so big, no wonder the parliament is in favor of banning trade with the Ming Kingdom!"
”Although Xu Qianxue was also very reluctant to see that the Ming Dynasty, ruled by the authoritarian Emperor of the Apocalypse, was far more advanced in science and technology and industry than his favorite Free England, he had to admit that the Ming Kingdom did crush his father-in-law's England in terms of the degree of development of science and technology and industry."
The machine that the earl is talking about must be talking about steam engines, and we have also got some steam presses from the Ming Kingdom from Japan, and we are also trying to imitate them, maybe we will be able to catch up with the Ming Kingdom in the future, which requires us to pay great attention to our own researchers."
James spoke up at this point."
If you can imitate it, tell me in time, and if there are major research results in natural science in the future, this king will reward him heavily, just like the Ming Kingdom!"
Charles II couldn't help but say.Xu Qianxue heard Charles II say this, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty the King, although skills are very important, but they are just arts, not for the way of governing the country, there is no way, there is no way, and if there is no way, it will stop at the art!"
The Ming Kingdom can be as strong as it is today, and on the surface it is advanced in machinery and advanced in skills, but looking at it from below, this is not the case. ”Charles II was surprised and curious when he heard this, and asked, "Is it?"
”The same is true of James, he and Charles II, the Xiyi nobles, dare not question Xu Qianxue's words in this era.Because they have all seen with their own eyes how powerful the Han country where Xu Qianxue was born and raised, so much so that he also asked modestly like a primary school student: "Then may I ask Your Excellency, what is the real reason for the Ming Kingdom to be so strong today?"
”"Is it related to the emperor himself?"
Charles II asked.Xu Qianxue hurriedly denied: "It has nothing to do with this single husband!"
He can be said to be hindering the further strengthening of the Ming Kingdom!
”Then, Xu Qianxue used his own set of rhetoric to instruct these Xiyi nobles, saying: "The strength of the Ming Kingdom today lies in the fact that China has been abiding by the Zhou rites and benevolence for thousands of years, and the ethics are orderly. ”Although I don't like the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, Zhu Youxiao, I have to admit that he was also influenced by benevolence, and directly exempted the world from servitude and Tian Fu, which is the reason why the Ming Kingdom is strong today!
The advantage of the machine is only its powerful last skill, or rather, it is the inevitable product of the greater demand generated by the prosperity of its people. ”Xu Qianxue is a person who has been educated for several years under the new education system of the Ming Dynasty, so he is also able to integrate Confucianism and the people-oriented ideas shown by the new education of the Ming Dynasty.Charles II, who had been suppressed by the English Parliament throughout history, could not find fault with his words and looked at his son-in-law with admiration.However, the Duke of York, who inherited the throne of Charles II and was at odds with the British Parliament in history, wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, he always felt that what Xu Qianxue said seemed to be reasonable, but he didn't seem to get to the point, so he asked: "I'm afraid that blindly taking the money lightly will not be conducive to the strength of the empire, right?"
”"This, we have to try to be as light as possible, and not compete with the people!
Mencius said: The old man eats meat, and the people are not hungry or cold, but those who are not kings have nothing.If the people are rich, they will naturally make the empire strong!
”Xu Qianxue continued.Of course, Xu Qianxue is not without selfishness, Charles II made him an earl at the same time, but also gave him land, he is now considered a wealthy person in England, so he naturally wants to pay less taxes.Charles II could not hear the problem, and agreed: "It makes sense!
This Confucianism of the East is indeed the right way to govern the world!
It should be carried forward, and in the future, you will have to give this king a detailed explanation of this Confucian scripture. ”"Son-in-law takes orders!"
Xu Qianxue replied.James glanced at his brother, but he couldn't help but ask, "Earl, what I'm curious about is why Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, still let the officials and gentry pay for food at the beginning of his reign?"
Could it be that there is a more detailed truth behind the four characters of this light and thin fu, or that the essence of Oriental learning is not simply people-oriented, but the world is for the public?
”Xu Qianxue found that James, Duke of York, was not as easy to fool as his father-in-law, so he couldn't help but be busy: "Uncle, don't you know, although this Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao said that he often did good governance and benefited the people in the early days of his reign, he often did evil politics and harmed the people in the early days of his reign.However, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom has not completely changed, and now his ambitions are inflated, and with the support of a group of ministers, he is crazy to expand outward, using troops everywhere, regardless of the difficulties of the people's livelihood, and refuses to continue to benefit the people, so to speak, it is bad again, and this time, it will be the nobles of the world who will be affected by his evil government!
”Xu Qianxue said and said: "If I want England to become strong, surpass the Ming Kingdom, and become a new empire on which the sun never sets!"

You have to practice benevolent government, and the world will be salty in the future!
And because of its inflated ambitions, the Ming Kingdom will inevitably enter recession with its global use of troops, and sooner or later it will catch up with my British!
”Xu Qianxue's words about Charles II are very superior.
