"If there is a major scientific and technological contribution, it is naturally considered a meritorious service, but the emperor's national law does not allow desecration, simply so, if in the future, if you really meet a scholar who has made meritorious service and commits a heinous crime and must be put to death, the emperor can issue a special pardon and pardon his death penalty, but not his crime, but only change his death sentence to life imprisonment, and make him wear shackles and do scientific research in a surveillance environment, but whether to restrict the use of the amnesty order to prevent future kings from abusing the amnesty, let the Council deliberate, in addition, Whether there can be an amnesty order and let the Council deliberate. ”Zhu Youxiao said."
Yes!"
Wen Tiren replied, and then said: "Although the imperial court has been expanding externally, but because the territory is very wide and there are too many places to use troops, the expansion speed in some local places has not been able to catch up with the vassal state established by the nobles of my Ming clan, and Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, has expanded to the north bank of the Amazon River, and is about to dominate South America, and the king of Xin has completely annexed Borneo!"
”Speaking of this, Wen Tiren asked Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, look, do you want to restrict the expansion of my Ming Dynasty's direct vassal state, so as not to threaten the imperial court in the future?"
”Zhu Youxiao replied: "First of all, they have limited troops and population, even if they expand quickly, it is only a military conquest, many chieftains are still only superficially convinced, and it is still far from being big enough to threaten the imperial court, not to mention, there are still many foreign countries, and they still need to be checked and balanced, and the kings of later generations use the method of tui'en to deal with them, and now the key is to control the global market in the hands of the imperial court, realize the unification of the Han civilization in the world, and politically let the world be nominally unified under the banner of my Ming Dynasty!"
”"That's right, but Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, it's best to hurry up and divide the newly annexed areas that are inconvenient to be directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so as not to give these feudal states the opportunity to annex the lands that are not clearly divided by the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhang Tongchang said."
The edict is issued to order all vassal states to send their adult descendants to Beijing for investigation, and in addition, the undivided emperors and nobles in various places should also send their adult descendants to Beijing for inspection!"
Zhu Youxiao therefore commanded.Naturally, he did this in order to divide more vassal states.However, because there are too many places in the world that can be occupied by the Ming Dynasty, there are still some insufficient children of the clan lords and nobles at present.Of course, this is also related to the fact that Zhu Youxiao does not want to divide too much territory for the children of the nobles of the clan.But Zhu Youxiao is not worried that there will not be enough noble children of the clan to be awarded in the future.Because the Ming Dynasty now has a meritorious system, every year there will be people who produce new honors because of meritorious service.This also leads to the fact that the younger generation of the Ming Dynasty, including the royal family and the clan, are more willing to join the army, because it is easier to make meritorious contributions in the army.As a result, the Ming army's combat effectiveness has been maintained in a very strong state.After all, meritorious service can be knighted, can open up the territory, even ordinary soldiers can be rewarded with land from many arable areas such as the East European Plain and the Indian Plain, who is not willing to actively make meritorious contributions in battle?
What's more, even if they die in battle, their family members can still get more rewards and special treatment than their own meritorious service, especially their children can not only add points in the township examination and the general examination, but also have the fields rewarded by the imperial court.Therefore, in the process of foreign conquest, the Ming army from the general to the soldiers, all dared to die for the country, coupled with powerful weapons and equipment and rich logistics materials, so that the Ming army was invincible and invincible in this process.As a result, Annan died in less than a month.The Ayutthaya Dynasty died in half a month.Johor will die in 10 days.The powerful Safavid dynasty and the Bukhara Khanate were powerless in front of the Ming Dynasty."
Kill!""
Kill!""
Kill!"
The Ottoman army in Baghdad was also terrified when they saw the Ming army coming from Isfahan like a jungle of steel.They couldn't understand why this army from the East was so powerful that it was able to make the giant iron monster rush forward in front of it without the help of livestock.What made them feel even more terrifying was that the fearless and fearless murderous aura of this eastern army with the battle flag of "Ming" seemed to be composed of rows of soldiers as if they were made up of iron walls, which made people feel depressed when they saw it.......
"What a terrible and admirable empire!"
I am truly envious of such a vast territory!
”When Louis XIV looked at the latest world map brought back by his royal brother Philippe from the Ming Kingdom, he couldn't help but be amazed by the vastness of the Ming Dynasty's territory, and then slapped the desk again, saying: "This is the territory that the emperor should have!"
Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Kingdom should be the only king worthy of worship of my Louis XIV, but I hate that France is so small compared to it, we should be as great as the people of the Ming Kingdom!
”After Louis XIV said this, he asked Philippe: "You have been in the Ming Kingdom for so long, tell me, in your opinion, how can I be so strong in France as the Ming Kingdom?"
”Philip said: "When we take Western learning as the body, Eastern learning as the use, introduce machinery and equipment to the Ming Kingdom, introduce technology and talents, and open our own iron and steel factory, I have met many high-ranking officials and their vassal lords in the Ming Kingdom, and they have become my friends, as long as we are willing to sign a contract with the Ming State that includes the most favored nation treatment, and is willing to allocate special funds to establish Sinology, and some other promising terms, the Ming Emperor will issue an edict to allow us to sell some machinery and technology, and even send us talents." ”"Western learning as a body?
Shouldn't it be directly and completely turned into the same system as the Ming Kingdom?
”Louis XIV asked."
No, their system is too biased in favor of the interests of producers and is not fair!
And the aristocracy was not free enough, at least not legally free, and many transactions were not free enough. ”Philip replied."
It seems that you have learned in vain, although as a king, I can't go to the Ming Kingdom in person, but through my own understanding, I know better than you that the real reason for the strength of the Ming Kingdom is not just a strong ship and a sharp cannon!
It's the care of the producers that you just said!
”Louis XIV expressed his own dissenting opinion.Philip was quite surprised by this, and couldn't help but spread his hands: "Brother Wang!
Do you want to orientalize my great France once and for all?
”"The Ming Empire in the East is God's favorite country, so it is prosperous today, perhaps their culture represents God's will, and if we want to get God's favor and follow God's will, then, why not completely make France Oriental?"
Louis XIV asked.Philip couldn't help but say, "Brother Wang, you're crazy!"
If you do this, it will make a lot of people dissatisfied!
”"As long as France can be as strong as the Ming Kingdom, the dissatisfaction of others is nothing."
Louis XIV replied dismissively."
I'm not satisfied!"
When Philip replied, he shouted, "I don't support you doing this!"
”"You can't stop me."
Louis XIV replied, and then instructed his minister Pierre: "Gather all the nobles who have returned from studying in the Ming Kingdom, and let them come to the king tomorrow, and the king will discuss with them the change of law." ”"Yes!"
Pierre replied.Louis XIV continued: "From the king's point of view, the first thing to do is to find a way to further limit the power of the great nobles, to curb their annexation, and to provide better protection for the peasants and workers!"
In addition, it is necessary to free the slaves controlled by the aristocracy. ”When Philippe heard Louis XIV say this, his eyes looked at him very coldly.However, at this time, France was at the peak of absolute monarchy, and it was difficult for the great nobles to rebel against the will of the king.Therefore, the next changes of Louis XIV really continued.He first ordered the rights of the noble serfs, believing that these were also French, and that their masters had no right to deprive them of their lives and plunder their property, but that the state was to protect them.Louis XIV then ordered a tax increase for the great nobles, as well as a tax reduction for yeoman farmers who owned less land, and provided basic livelihood for the city's citizens.For a time, the great nobles of France complained.But Louis XIV won the support of many low-class peasants and burghers.As a result, the number of riots by the peasants and citizens at the bottom has dropped significantly.In addition, Louis XIV's own treasury increased a lot of revenue, which allowed him to expand his army and devote more funds to scientific research and development.He was already very supportive of natural science, but now after investing a large amount of money to support the research and development of scientific researchers, he has indeed greatly promoted the scientific and technological progress of France.So that in the third year after Louis XIV began to imitate Zhu Youxiao, his Minister of State, Pierre, reported to him that rifled guns had been made.Of course, the rifled guns made in France are also the kind of front-loading primary rifled guns made by the Ming Dynasty for Japan, and the rifling is not too complicated.Because the French Empire only came into contact with rifled guns when they were at war with the Japanese in the Americas, they could only temporarily imitate this kind of gun.But it was still a blessing for Louis XIV.However, although France has the manufacturing technology of rifled guns, it does not have a sophisticated industrial base like the Ming Dynasty.Therefore, if France wants to install rifled guns, it will have to pay a huge cost.Louis XIV decided to continue to raise taxes, including inheritance tax and luxury tax, and said: "The Ming Kingdom did the same, and this king should inherit their excellent system without reservation!"
”"But Brother Wang, if you do this, you will completely anger the nobles!""
We are different from Mingguo!""
The aristocracy of the Ming Kingdom is suppressed by the bureaucrats from the civilian background, and there is no ability to subvert the imperial court, and even the only way to cooperate with the emperor can jointly contend with that huge bureaucracy, even so, there are many times when there is no way to resist, and it has to be the king's indomitable heart and the courage not to be afraid of infamy behind him, but my French aristocracy is very powerful, the monarchy is not skilled enough, and the abuse of royal power may cause chaos in the country!"
Philip admonished.Louis XIV directly drew his sword and pointed at Philippe: "You want to stop this king?"
”Seeing this, Philip had to take a step back and said, "It's not that I want to, I just want to persuade you." ”Louis XIV withdrew his sword and said, "You're right, maybe I should promote a lot of people from the common class, just like the Ming Kingdom!"
Let the royal family cooperate with the common class!

Establish the imperial examination system, let people from the commoner class hold important positions and hold power, in addition, in terms of royal marriage, this king is actually fed up with marrying those women who have noble blood but are not excellent in body and appearance, and the research of the Ming Kingdom says that the marriage of close relatives will increase a lot of congenital diseases, and you have not yet married a wife, so I should first match you with a princess from a civilian background to test people's reactions. ”Philippe wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare to refuse, but in his heart, he became more and more dissatisfied with the arbitrary Louis XIV.But Louis XIV was undoubtedly right in doing so, and he then began to issue edicts to imitate the imperial examination system, and even established the meritorious system, encouraging the commoners to become their own nobles through their own efforts, especially after the news came out that he was going to choose a princess from among the commoners instead of from the foreign nobles for his royal brother, which was appreciated by the majority of the commoners who already had a national mind.You know, historically, even in the eighteenth century, many Enlightenment thinkers in France admired the Chinese imperial examination system.Because many of them were commoner thinkers, in fact, they were in need of a system that could advance to aristocracy.Now Louis XIV did so, and naturally he was supported by many scholars of the common class.And after Louis XIV did this, the French army also burst into great combat effectiveness.Driven by Louis XIV's call for the French to defend their new territories in the Americas, the French army, determined to make great achievements, began to defeat the Japanese shogunate several times in the Americas, and even regained many lost territories.As a result, the expansion of the Japanese kingdom in the Americas was curbed.But the good times didn't last long.On this day, when Louis XIV was celebrating another great victory of France against the Japanese kingdom in the Americas, his brother Philippe suddenly found him and bowed to him and said, "Brother Wang!
I was wrong, I shouldn't have stopped you in the first place, and now it has been proven that you are indeed the great emperor of France!
So, can we go to the boat and talk?
”Philip pointed to a boat parked on a lake in the palace.Louis XIV was pleased to see his brother's turn of sex, and his attitude towards him changed from suspicion to admiration, and he gladly agreed.But as soon as Louis XIV got on board and was heading to the middle of the lake with Philippe, Philippe suddenly pushed him into the water.Louis XIV, already drunk, could not react at all, and fell into the water with a plop, and then struggled desperately.Philip sat calmly on the boat and watched all this.It was a harsh winter, and Philippe felt a little cold even when he was sitting on the boat, let alone Louis XIV, who had fallen into the water.By the time Louis XIV was rescued, he was unconscious.Not long after, Louis XIV died of a lung disease.Louis XIV's son succeeded to the throne and became Louis XV.However, Louis XV was still very young, and he had to hand over the affairs of the country to his uncle Philippe.Surprisingly, although everyone knew that Louis XIV fell into the water when he was alone with Philippe, none of the French nobles stood up to question the truth of the fall, and they all agreed that Louis XIV accidentally fell into the water because he was overjoyed.Even because many nobles praised Philippe for not coveting the throne and insisting on letting Louis XIV's son inherit the throne, thinking that he did not aspire to the throne.
