The bright red banner of "Ming" began to flutter in the sky above the city of Vienna and at the northern foot of the Alps.What Li Dingguo in this life will not know is that he will die with hatred in the border of Yunnan in another time and space, instead of entering this important European town known as the capital of music in later generations like now.Looking at the many baroque buildings that filled his eyes, he couldn't help but smile slightly.As a son of the Han family, one day, riding a horse and stepping on this exotic land, so that everything here becomes owned by the Ming Dynasty, is undoubtedly a real deserve to be written.The trembling European nobles still knelt on the ground, glancing at the Ming army entering the city.They reluctantly accepted this outcome.I can only watch as the wealth I have accumulated for more than five hundred years is about to return to these people from the East.Military victories were accompanied by cultural victories.Wang Fuzhi and Sun Qifeng and other great Confucians, who were ordered to come to Europe to spread Confucianism, also came here shortly after the Ming army entered the city of Vienna.During this period, Wang Fuzhi and Sun Qifeng and other Confucian scholars did not shave their hair and grow braids because of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains, but still came to this Western land with a crown.After seeing the murals and various sculptures in the Baroque architecture here, Wang Fuzhi and Sun Qi met these great Confucians, because after all, they were Han people of this era and were in the period of national pride and pride of the people, so they sneered at these Western cultures.Wang Fuzhi directly rebuked because of this: "It's just nondescript!
Witchcraft rampant!
They must be taught Confucianism as soon as possible!
”Sun Qifeng nodded, agreed, and said: "First build a temple of literature, shape a statue of the Son of Heaven and a statue of Confucius, and then let the first batch of Confucian children pay homage to the monarch and sages, and then accept the teachings of Confucianism and Taoism." ”Wang Fuzhi and Sun Qifeng and others did what they said.Due to the current military threat of the Ming Empire, the nobles of Europe did not dare to stop it, and could only cooperate, and were forced to start wearing Confucian crowns and robes.Because Wang Fuzhi strongly demanded that Zhou Yuji, the general of Dingxi, issue an order requiring that the Xiyi in the annexed land must be easy to obey, otherwise he should be hanged for refusing to obey Wang Hua.The Xiyi still cared more about their own lives, than their loyalty to God, so most of them honestly carried out the policy of easy obedience and easy to make.On this day, the preface belongs to the middle of spring, the city of Vienna is full of flowers, and thousands of Xiyi Confucian children began to kneel and worship the great emperor and Confucius under the leadership of Wang Fuzhi and Sun Qifeng.Wang Fuzhi even made a speech, talking about the virtue of self-cultivation and Qi family."
My day and three provinces of my body: seeking for others and not being loyal?
Making friends and not believing them?
Are you used to it?
”"If the people want, the heavens will follow it.""
The emperor has no relatives, only virtue is the auxiliary.""
Cultivate yourself to appease the people.""
Giving to the people can help the people.""
The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light."
With the military expansion of Confucianism through the Ming Dynasty, it spread widely in the West, and some Western scholars also seemed to be opened up to a new world after coming into contact with Confucianism.In particular, the idea of focusing on self-consciousness and people-oriented in Confucianism made the Xiyi scholars who had just enlightened the ideas of this era shocked these Confucian words after contact.At this time, Locke, who was one of the founders of the English Whig Party and a thinker of the English Enlightenment, and as the first person in the West to introspect himself, was very shocked by the materialism and people-oriented ideas that the West still lacked after learning about Eastern Confucianism in the Netherlands, and therefore he was very addicted to muttering these Confucian sentences, and said to the Prince of Orange: "It turns out that the Oriental people have long had the idea of people-oriented human rights!"
And it was thousands of years ago!
The civilization of this country is really advanced!
”The Prince of Orange also exclaimed, "Yes!
We are so backward that we are only now beginning to get rid of our ignorance. ”China does have a strong cultural advantage.Therefore, these Xiyi thinkers who are still in the stage of ideological enlightenment were shocked after seeing these Chinese cultures.In fact, it's not just the people-oriented thinking that has begun to emerge in Xiyi.Even in the economic field, there was an economic idea of government control of the market economy during the Guan Zhong period, and the economic thought embodied in Sima Qian's "The Legend of the Goods and Colonies" is the same as the idea in Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations".It can be seen that the heritage of Chinese culture.It is only that the descendants of later generations are not angry, and the more they read the scriptures, the more crooked they become, which leads to a phenomenon that the East is not as good as the West.But this is not to say that the ideas accumulated by thousands of years of civilization are really obsolete.And in this life, when Dongxue was pushed by Zhu Youxiao, the Ming Emperor, to the wilderness and practice the way of education, it did not seem useless.It's actually very useful.For the Westerners who had just escaped the Middle Ages, many oriental ideas made them feel fresh and bright, but they were not as repulsive as they imagined.However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty, with the study of Lu Wang's mind, opened the thinking of the Ming scholars, so that they got rid of the confinement of Cheng Zhu Lixue, and began to ask their hearts again, think independently and usher in the era of ideological explosion.Today's Ming Dynasty has tended to distinguish the people according to class and the nature of the country according to the relationship of interests.It is difficult for any one class of people to fool the majority of the population.Because the local people of the Ming Dynasty have long been enlightened by decades of civilian education.Even if those with ulterior motives tried to fool the people, they would end up being a joke and punished by the Empire with an iron fist.When Leopold VI came to such a Ming country, because of this, as soon as he came ashore, he was surrounded by a large group of newspaper editors and asked him many questions.Questions such as "How do you, as the king of the Habsburgs, feel about being the king of a dead country now?"
and "Why did you not avoid the present end by freeing your serfs?"
Because the Ming Dynasty is now open to the people's wisdom, there are many people who read books and newspapers, and almost everyone likes to pay attention to all kinds of current affairs, such as the war between the Japanese and Britain and France in the Americas, and whether there is a conspiracy of Louis XIV in Europe.Even the peddlers and pawns are worried all day long about whether the local feudal states will rebel and which prince will inherit the throne in the future.And because there is such a demand, there is a corresponding market, so the editors of major newspapers and periodicals are also very active in the collection and editing of all kinds of news, like a hungry wolf smelling meat.As soon as a person like Leopold VI came to Daming, he would naturally be actively edited by many newspapers and periodicals.Leopold VI was shocked to see this, what he did not expect was that in this eastern country, the common people would be as curious about him as the rulers, and the whole country seemed to be more than just the ruler's country."
No wonder this country of the East is so powerful!
It's really different from me in Europe!
”Leopold VI thus lamented.And after he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he was naturally arranged to accept sinicization at the College of Foreign Education.He was received at the Faculty of Religion by King Ovitsky of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.Ovitsky excitedly said to Leopold VI: "I came some time before you, so, in order, I am your senior brother!"
In the future, whether it is cultural class study or labor class study, you have to listen to my brother's arrangement, understand?
