Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 283

"I know, I know, I know!"

It turns out that Zhu Heqi's certification of authentic Kangxi was not a joke, but really wanted to put him in the position of Lord of Shenyang, use him to split the Northern Qing Dynasty, and at the same time use him to take care of the Northeast and Outer Northeast—— This land is not small, and the number of Han people is small now, and it is impossible to occupy it in the short term. There must be "vicious dogs" guarding it, otherwise it will be easy for people to steal it.

Chapter 659 Whoever offends my strength will be beaten even if it is far away!

Changning, Burni, and Mingzhu went there with a lot of worries... None of the three got what they wanted from Zhu Heqi, but they had to obey the orders of the lord of the celestial dynasty.

So Chang Ning can only continue to play Kangxi, to fight against Tongzhi and himself (referring to the real Kangxi as Chang Ning)... This is really the most tangled thing in the world!

It seems that Burni can't be a profuse sweat anymore, so he can only get a little sweat first, and then Xu Tu will make progress.

As for Mingzhu, he will never go back to his mansion in Beijing, so he can only follow the fake Kangxi to fight Shenyang.

And the summoning activity of the South Study Room is still going on.

Three preoccupied Manchurians and Mongols left, and three worried foreign devils came again——Italian priest Min Mingwo, Daban Lei Jiesen of the Dutch East India Company, and the envoy of the Philippine Governor-General in New Spain, Juan Garcia.

The three foreign devils followed Figo's instructions and bowed to Zhu Heqi and Zhu Tianwang. Then the Italian priest Min Mingwo, as the representative of the three, took out a bilingual letter written in Chinese and Latin. The "Joint Request Letter" was handed over to Figo, who worked at Zhu Heqi's bodyguard.

"Emperor, this is a letter of request submitted to you by the Catholic Church, the East India Company, and the envoys of New Spain." Min Mingwo said in fluent Chinese, "The Catholic Church hopes to continue to spread in the former territory of the Qing Dynasty." Good news from the Lord. The East India Company hopes that you will allow them to continue to engage in free trade in the commercial port of Takukou. The Philippine Governor General of New Spain wishes..."

"I don't want to listen to any requests from the envoys of the Philippine Governor's Office in New Spain..." Zhu Hechi said, "Because during the Wanli to Yongli years, the Spaniards committed three massacres on Luzon Island, killing at least One hundred thousand people of Ming Dynasty, and they have been occupying my own Luzon Island until now. This is an unforgivable mistake, and I will definitely take retaliatory measures, and the Spaniards can get out!"

Zhu Heqi's words were interpreted into Spanish by Figo, and Juan Garcia was shocked when he heard that several armed guards were coming to drive him away, so he quickly shouted in Chinese: "Your Majesty, you want to ask Has the Kingdom of Spain declared war? There are still [-] Chinese living in Luzon..."

With a bang, Zhu Heqi had overturned the case in front of him, and he stood up, glaring at the Spaniard in front of him, and said word by word: "Are you threatening me? I want to seize the corresponding land from Spain, and at the same time provide military white sugar and pull index letters to Spain's enemies, and impose a sugar embargo on Spain as revenge."

Juan Garcia was terrified by Zhu Hechi's revenge methods - the military white sugar is already a "big killer"!

Zhu Heqi even took out the pull index letter!This stuff is deadlier than sugar!

Because of the pull index letter, the grenadier will become a human cannon!

And yellow phosphorus, an important raw material used to make pull index letters, is very difficult to obtain (it can be extracted from urine, but Europeans don't know it yet), and do you know where the Chinese get it?

Fortunately, the Chinese did not publicly sell the pull index letter in the past, and always regarded it as "not for sale". Westerners can only get a small amount from the Qing Dynasty (there is always a way to seize some on the battlefield) for research.Unexpectedly, now Daming is going to sell this thing to the enemy of Spain...

Before Zhu Heqi finished speaking, he paused for a while, and then said angrily: "If you dare to massacre the overseas Chinese in Luzon, then I promise... I will pay you back three times! If you kill a Chinese, I will kill three Spaniards!

Don't think that the Pacific Ocean is very wide, that distance can't stop my expeditionary army!Juan Garcia, you can go now.My ultimatum will be delivered to you when you leave Dagukou. "

Then Zhu and Qi waved their hands, and Juan Garcia was pulled out by several guards.

Then Da Tianzi glanced at the representative of the Dutch East India Company, Lei Jiesen, and said coldly: "Go back and tell your consul William III to immediately dissolve the alliance with the Kingdom of Spain... Otherwise, the enemies of the Netherlands will automatically follow the alliance. Become the enemy of Spain, and the enemy of Spain will receive a large amount of military sugar and laurels! If Louis XIV had obtained these two weapons in the last Franco-Dutch war, the Netherlands would have ceased to exist!"

Lei Jiesen broke into a cold sweat from Zhu Hechi's warning!

The Dutch East India Company has helped the Qing Dynasty deal with Ming Dynasty a lot in recent years, and in order to preserve the interests in Nanyang, it even organized a sixteen-nation alliance with Spain. Now Spain is going to be trapped by Ming Dynasty... Will the Netherlands still have a good end?

"Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor, I will definitely pass on your warning to Consul William." Lei Jiesen originally wanted to say something about the status quo and rules of Nanyang, how dare he provoke the emperor now?

Zhu Heqi then looked at me again, and he said coldly: "The ban cannot be accommodated. Except for Macau, wherever the sun and moon flags go, there is no place for the cross flag to stand... unless the Pope of Rome can persuade the West Countries should lift the ban on Confucianism first.”

It is impossible to revoke the ban on Confucianism—how could such things as "Yuanjun" and "Yuanchen" not be banned in Western monarchy countries?Daming was able to use the "Yuanjun" and "Yuanchen" as an example, because Zhu Hechi's own prestige was super strong, and at the same time he knew that the monarchy was a rabbit's tail that couldn't grow.

So to put this issue out early and make it clear, stripping off the sacred cloak of the monarchy, and at the same time launching the "Daming Treaty Law" to sanctify, is tantamount to establishing a constitution.Moreover, Zhu Heqi also used the theory of "original ministers" to strengthen the responsibilities of ministers, so that when the future emperor of Ming Dynasty could not bear the responsibility, he could shift the responsibility to the ministers below little by little, and finally he could even become a virtual emperor. ...

In addition, the centralization of power in China has been going on for more than 1000 years!All the founding monarchs who conquer the world can generally establish a centralized power, and Zhu Heqi is no exception.

His imperial court has already mastered a large amount of population and land through the land equalization system, and has also received the blessings of central banks such as Dongchang Guanyinhao. There is no need to further strengthen the centralization of power.

So this set of things is of course a good thing for Zhu Heqi, who has a lot of authority, the court is centralized enough, and he can see the future prospects of the monarchy.

But for those monarchs in many European countries who have been troubled by the aristocracy or the decentralization of power for many years, and are now just beginning to centralize power, the original Confucian ideas are simply poisonous!

The nobles can use it as a tool against the centralization of the monarchy, and the common people can also use it as a theory against the nobles (many nobles are actually small monarchs)-if Ming Dynasty, which practiced "original Confucianism", was a poor and backward country Forget it, but he happens to be a country "on top of a mountain".

The success of the Ming Dynasty can prove the success of the original Confucianism!

If anyone wants to be as successful as Ming Dynasty, shouldn't he learn the original Confucianism?Also engage in "the world is the master and the guest"?Also turn noble ministers into "teachers" of the monarch?

What the Catholic Church can't bear is that there is no place for "God" in the original Confucianism... Even if you have an "Original God", the church may consider allowing it to spread in Europe.

"Your Majesty," Min Mingwo had no choice but to say to Zhu Heqi, "It is the secular monarchs of various countries who issue the ban, and the church cannot intervene."

Of course, Zhu Hechi knew how harmful the original Confucianism he proposed was to a feudal country that urgently needed to strengthen the centralization of monarchy.The centralization of the monarchy is not the bigger the better, but it is not enough if there is no or too small.

He spread his hands and said with a smile: "That's it... Father, it seems that we can't reach an agreement. I hope you can get up and go to Macau as soon as possible, and you can stay there as long as you want."

Chapter 660 Distant Friendship and Close Attack?No, the prey is New Spain!

"Shaanzi, do you know this "Warring States Strategy"? According to the above records, there is a Shanxi Laokeng named Fan Ju who said to King Zhao of Qin: It is better for a king to be far away and attack close. The ruler of Spain! The country of Spain, the country of Holland, and the Holy See are all very far away, and they should be distant friends..."

As soon as the three foreign devils left, Zhu Tianwang talked to his son about the allusion of long-distance friendship and short-term attack.

In the eyes of traditional Chinese politicians like Zhu Tianwang, this rabbit should eat the grass on the side of the nest. It is impossible to let the enemies around him not fight, and go all the way to provoke Spain and the Netherlands!

It's too far to go to Luzon Island, let alone the New World... I haven't heard of it in the early years.It wasn't until the last few years that he spent time with his son that he finally learned a lot. Only then did he realize that the earth is round, the sky is empty, and there is a big new continent beyond the earth.

Moreover, there are mountains of gold and silver in this new continent, which is so rich that it is a good place to "do justice for the heavens"!

But although the New World has a lot of oil and water, the distance is too far!

Moreover, Daming's current enemy is still Beiqing. Beiqing is not completely dead yet, so how can he provoke a powerful enemy far away?

Of course Zhu and Qi knew what Zhu Tianwang was thinking.But in his opinion, Spain is the real enemy of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty!

Because Spain has a vast colony of New Spain... At present, about half of the New World of America belongs to New Spain!

This is simply a heinous crime!

And more than [-] million square kilometers of land will become part of the American Empire in the future-including California and Texas, the two later "American Strong States".

If the United States loses California, Texas, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming and other states, can it still be beautiful?Can it still be rock solid?

If there is another celestial state that cannot be tolerated by the United States, it will appear on the territory of the above-mentioned states.Then the United States can only be a regional power forever.

And if the Celestial Dynasty can have a powerful state located on the west coast of America.That day the empire would have the opportunity to turn the entire Pacific Ocean into its own inner lake.

The hegemony of the Celestial Dynasty will last forever!

Compared with the Western Regions, Snowy Plateau, Mongolian Grassland, and Outer Northeast, which are relatively close, but the cost of development is high and the cost of maintenance is not low, a state on the west coast of the Americas really makes Zhu Heqi very excited. .

Moreover, territories such as the Western Regions, the Snow Region, Mongolia, and the Outer Northeast cannot escape.Except for a Raksha country, no one can compete with Daming.And the main development direction of Raksha Kingdom is still in the west, so it is impossible to fight to the death in the east with Daming for these bad lands.

So Zhu and Qi have plenty of time, so they can take their time.But there are not many chances to easily win the large territory in the west of New Spain... Zhu Hechi knew that in the near future, there would be a war of Spanish succession.

Once the Bourbon Dynasty takes over Spain, Ming's attack on New Spain may involve the mighty France!

Although Ming's strength is stronger than that of France, the power it can devote to the other side of the ocean is limited.

France, on the other hand, may use the opportunity of aiding New Spain to invest heavily in the New World.After all, Spain has operated in the New World for more than 100 years, controlled tens of millions of indigenous populations, and hundreds of thousands of Hispanic white populations, capable of providing logistical support for a large number of French troops.

Therefore, Zhu and Qi wanted to attack New Spain before the Spanish Succession War!

Plus, he knew there was a great opportunity a few years from now.

This opportunity is the siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Empire!

If the Ottoman Empire can win this war.Then, the situation in Europe as a whole will change drastically.

At that time, the entire Christian world will have to concentrate its efforts to deal with the westward expansion of the Ottoman Empire.

If the Ming Empire launches an attack on New Spain at this time, it is very likely to achieve a major goal at a small cost.

Because the Spaniards will never put New Spain above Europe, especially Rome... although New Spain is their future!

Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Zhu Tianwang: "Father, my son knows that Spain and Holland are far away. But they still traveled thousands of miles to our doorstep. They also brought strong ships and cannons, which shows their ambition. The vastness and the great threat. As the lord of the celestial dynasty and the leader of the eastern countries, how can An see it?

Moreover, most of the silver and gold that Westerners use to buy my silk, porcelain, sugar, perfume, etc. come from New Spain! "

"This..." Thinking of gold and silver, Zhu Tianwang was a little tempted.

At this moment, another guard came to report, "Huang Zhisheng asks to see you."

"Xuan." Zhu Heqi immediately had someone announce his favorite "diplomat" to the South Study Room.

Huang Zhisheng made great contributions to Daming's recovery of Shandong this time, and he has been lurking in the enemy camp for many years, and his hard work is really not small.So this time, Xinhuihou was directly sealed!It can be said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, but he is not in good spirits now.When bowing and bowing, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Give me a seat!" Zhu Heqi hurriedly asked someone to bring him a chair, and said with a smile, "This was Kangxi's South Study Room. Everything is good, but the chair is missing."

"Your Majesty," Huang Zhisheng lifted up his official robe and sat down on a chair. "I don't come to the South Study Room once or twice. Every time I answer on my knees, how can I have a chance to sit here? Your Majesty is better."

"Masters and ministers are teachers and friends!" Zhu Heqi laughed, "Why do teachers and friends need to kneel and kowtow at every turn? Zhisheng, you should talk about this truth when you go to Europe... If you have the conditions, you should also hold a meeting Newspapers, blow up the truth of Confucianism."

"Go to Europe?" Huang Zhisheng didn't realize it all at once. He tried hard to think about it, but he still didn't remember that Daming still had such a state capital.

"It's the European continent to the west, you know?"

"I know, I know." Now Huang Zhisheng came to his senses, "The Holy One is talking about the continent of Europa."

Zhu Heqi smiled and said, "Yes! It's hard to handle the errands of visiting Europe. After much deliberation, you're the only one who will bring a mission... It's really hard work for you."

"No hard work, no hard work." Huang Zhisheng said with a smile, "How can you be afraid of hardship when working for the Holy Majesty? Your Majesty, do you want me to visit the Raksha Kingdom?"

"Raksha is indeed going."

Huang Zhisheng smiled and said: "Speaking of this Raksha country, they and the Qing Yao should be enemies... There have always been fights over there in Heilongjiang, and General Ning Guta will report the Raksha people's invasion from time to time. Difficult.

In addition, there have been conflicts between Zhungeer and the Raksha people far away in the Western Regions. "

Huang Zhisheng is actually a Rakshasa master!

“Raksha is just the first stop on your westward journey,” Zhu Hechi said, “After you meet Tsar Peter, go to the Ottoman Empire…to try to meet their sultan or grand vizier.

Then go to see the Pope of Rome... They have been sending people to see me, and I haven't sent anyone to return for a visit.

After seeing the Pope, you will meet King Louis of France in France.Then it was off to Holland to see William III, and finally England. "

Huang Zhisheng said: "Your Majesty, this big circle...will it be two or three years after you come back?"

Zhu Hechi half-jokingly said, "Are you afraid of hardship or tiredness?"

Huang Zhisheng shook his head, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that it's too far away..."

Huang Zhisheng then asked again: "My lord, is there something important for me to run so far?"

As he asked the question, he was also guessing in his heart, it should be to join forces with Russia to destroy Qing Dynasty?

"Of course!" Zhu Heqi nodded, "Zhi Sheng, you've had a lot going on here...but you didn't join forces with Russia to destroy the Qing Dynasty."

"There is no alliance with Russia to destroy the Qing?" Huang Zhisheng was taken aback, "Then who are we going to deal with?"

"Deal with Spain!" Zhu Hechi laughed, "We have to set up a big game for Spain!"

Chapter 661 Who is Kangxi and who is my Ama?

With a bang, the desk in the South Study Room of the Xingqing Mansion Palace fell to the ground.The drowsy little Emperor Tongzhi was taken aback, staring at the pock-faced man who was both familiar and unfamiliar to him who had just overturned the book case with terrified eyes.

The ministers of Nanshufang were all lying on the ground, not daring to lift their heads.

Only Kong Shenggong, the great warlord who discussed politics, was still sitting as firmly as Mount Tai, looked at Kangxi who had just stood there, and said in a calm tone: "Brother Taishang, don't worry, you are still Kangxi, you will always be Kangxi, there is only one in the world." Kangxi, that is you...I can prove this point!"

Kangxi?Only one Kangxi?What does it mean?The little emperor Tongzhi was confused when he heard it. A child of his age is just half-understanding. Of course he knows what Kangxi is, but he is not very familiar with it-Emperor Kangxi does not have children. In the Qing Dynasty, the family was naturally ignored.If it wasn't for this period of time when he was upgraded to become the Supreme Emperor and needed to use his son Yinreng as a puppet, the time he and Yinreng spent together would be shorter and the relationship would be more intense.

And now the little emperor already knows that Kangxi is a name of his ama, and his ama is called Aixinjueluo Xuanye, also known as Kangxi.But he still didn't understand what "there is only one Kangxi in the world" meant?And... Who is the Ama who is the little emperor of Tongzhi? Why does he need Uncle Sheng Gong to prove it?

"Kong Yuqi!" Before Xiao Tongzhi could figure out what was going on, Emperor Kangxi pointed at Kong Shenggong, who was talking nonsense, and yelled, "I don't need you to prove whether I am Kangxi or not!"

Uncle Shenggong certificate is not required?The little emperor thought to himself, are you Kangxi?Are you my Ama?

Kangxi didn't know that his confused son had already doubted his true identity, and he was still angry with Kong Shenggong, Chang Ning, Mingzhu and others!

"Damn Chang Ning! Damn Mingzhu! Kong..." At this point, Kangxi glared at Kong Shenggong, and found that the other party was also looking at him, without any fear.

Kong Shenggong was not only not afraid, but also angry!He is powerful!And his strength is getting stronger and stronger...Recently, he has taken in two apprentices who are very good at fighting, one is Zhang Yong and the other is Wang Jinbao!

Kangxi is annoyed, he really has nothing to do with Kong Shenggong now... This kid is even more obai than Oboi!

Obai is just an old slave who looks after the house, no matter how domineering he is, he doesn't have the strength that really belongs to him.And Kong Shenggong is the Confucian Shenggong, and he has a group of disciples who are familiar with anti-scriptures!

Moreover, this Confucian sect recruited disciples openly, and Kong Shenggong himself even recruited disciples widely.The people of the Qing court who moved westward to Xingqing Mansion were panicked and wanted to hug each other for warmth, and more and more people joined Confucianism.

In addition, Confucianism, like Confucianism, can provide an order of grassroots governance.

Among them, the core of Confucianism’s grassroots governance is the equalization of land by clans and villages. Groups have caps, and cannibalism between clans is also prohibited.Because the land has been "equalized", a clan with a few hundred people can average tens of thousands of acres.If they want to expand, they are restricted by the principle of "equal land cannot be sold", and the adjacent land is controlled by other clans.It is much more difficult for a clan to illegally annex the land that another clan relies on for survival than for a tyrant to annex a farmer's land!

Therefore, when the population of a certain clan grows to a certain level and cannot extract enough wealth from the existing land to survive, they either let some of their children go to work in the city, or apply to the government to immigrate to a place with more land and less land. Broaden the countryside, but not expand locally...Of course, the prerequisite for this order to function well is that the country can continuously provide new fertile land, or that the booming industry and commerce can provide enough employment Chance.

As for the matters within the clan, such as the big family bullying the second and third families.Hehe, it's hard for an upright official to break up housework!And if a person is not loved by his parents, and the property he receives is too small, so that he is bullied by his brothers... Can the emperor and the court be blamed for this?

In short, the Confucianism's method actually protects the weak and small clans and splits up the powerful clans, which is conducive to the centralization of power.
