Chapter 740 The scene of the prosperous world, it should be like this (three in one)(1/2)
Charles II knelt under the Huangji Sect with trembling trembling, listening to the interrogation of the officials of the Three Laws of the Ming Dynasty.
He never thought that one day, he would be as miserable as his father.
His father, Charles I, was held up for trial by the domestic bourgeoisie and sent to the guillotine.
And he himself is now judged by the Easterners.
"Charles II, you have lost your conscience and are obsessed with profit. You openly support the smuggling and selling Wuxiang, which is irreversible and poisonous to people, to our Ming Dynasty, which has caused 3,409 citizens to suffer from the torture of our Ming Dynasty, and even their families are destroyed! One hundred and fifty-eight Jinyiwei were injured or sacrificed for banning Wuxiang. Can you admit your guilt?!"
Fang Yuegong, the Minister of Justice, asked Charles II loudly at this time.
Charles II replied in dismay: "Cancel!"
But Charles II couldn't help but shout in English: "Can you forgive my sins?"
Fang Yuegong couldn't understand what Charles II said, but he seemed to guess that Charles II was begging for mercy, so he whispered in a low voice: "Remember to learn to speak Chinese in the next life. In this way, begging for mercy can make Your Majesty understand what you beg for mercy!"
After saying that, Fang Yuegong stood up and said to the high-ranking Emperor Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty! Charles II is willing to plead guilty. According to the latest revised "Ming Laws" by the Emperor Ming Dynasty, I ruled that Charles II has committed the crime of harming our Ming nationals and is a serious and evil. Therefore, it should be dealt with strictly and beheaded immediately. Please allow your Majesty to allow it!"
"Authentication! He was imprisoned in front of the tombs of the loyal and martyrs who were killed by Wuxiang, and in front of the Ming people who were harmed by Wuxiang, and kneel down and be punished! He ordered the ministers outside the capital to observe the punishment."
Zhu Youxiao replied.
"yes!"
Next, Charles II was dragged down.
He was dragged to the cemetery of the martyrs in the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, there were also a group of Han people from the capital who were forced to rehabilitate drugs.
"Kneel down!"
But when Charles II was asked to kneel down to these Han people in the capital who had already become skinny due to the harm of Wuxiang, Charles II was quite reluctant to do so and said, "Why, why do I still want me to kneel down to these Han civilians!"
The official of the Ministry of Justice who was escorting him kicked him in the knee, but he still knelt down after a "ah".
Fang Yuegong shouted to these Ming civilians who were harmed by the Wuxiang: "He is the culprit who made you such a crime!"
Then, Fang Yuegong ordered: "Execute!"
Click!
Not long after, Charles II was executed.
When the French envoy Corber saw this scene, his face turned pale.
He suddenly felt even more afraid of the Ming emperor sitting in the center, and therefore he couldn't help but say to Eileken: "Foreign kings, kill them as soon as they say they want! This Ming emperor is really unprovoked!"
"They have the confidence to be so arrogant. I really hope that France will have this day."
Ailken couldn't help but reply at this time.
Colber sneered: "Tell me, is there such a day of severe punishment and law? For those of us who have noble blood, this country of severe punishment and law is not a good country! The nobles should have a more elegant way of dealing with it! This may be why Duke Philip advocates the use of Western learning as the body and Eastern learning as the application. We cannot learn this. We just need to find a way to learn its advanced scientific and technological knowledge and how to control the knowledge of the people."
"You are right!"
Elleken replied with a smile.
The execution of Charles II's death for Emperor Zhu Youxiao of Ming Dynasty was equivalent to a comprehensive victory in the entire smoking ban. Even the king of the country smuggling Wuxiang had been dealt with, which naturally showed the Ming Dynasty's determination.
The consumption of Wuxiang in the Ming Dynasty has almost completely disappeared.
However, in this world, there are always people who choose to take risks because of huge profits.
Zhu Youxiao did not expect to completely eliminate Wuxiang's harm. He just didn't want the Ming Dynasty to relax in controlling Wuxiang.
The development of natural science is a double-edged sword. For example, the research of chemistry shows that while various new drugs appear, it is also accompanied by the emergence of various poisons.
It is inevitable that Wuxiang will appear.
"Using Charles II's head can undoubtedly curb the overflow of Wuxiang. Next, we need to continue to focus on global expansion. Taking advantage of the current strength of the Ming Dynasty and gain more resources for future generations. Therefore, the Han people's population and childbirth must continue to be encouraged. Especially now that the internal combustion engine has appeared, the future productivity will undoubtedly improve, and it can feed more people around the world. But I hope that more people will be dominated by Han people, and more Han people will dilute and even assimilate the natives in various places."
After executing Charles II, Zhu Youxiao left his assistants alone and discussed the major affairs of the government that he should do now.
"Confucianism was promoted smoothly in countries such as England and France. Their kings were also willing to train their people to be obedient by Confucianism. However, countries that are truly willing to uphold the concept of working people as the main principle to implement national affairs. They have not seen it yet. They are difficult to accept the behavior of our Ming Dynasty to allocate the growing wealth to producers. Therefore, neither England and France did this."
Zhang Tongchang, who was responsible for analyzing the external situation, couldn't help but say.
"No one in power will take the initiative to become stronger by making the real civilians rich. Even those who often shout to make concessions to the people, I and you Zhongming Society are exceptions!"
When Zhu Youxiao said this, he thought of Louis XIV and said, "Louis XIV is an exception, but he fell into the water and got sick shortly after doing this. It can be seen that this road is not easy to walk. Those who are unwilling to do this may not know that this road is the only way to a strong country, but they know that there are great risks here. It can be said that they may be smarter people."
Wen Tiren nodded slightly at this time and said, "Your Majesty, from my opinion, this is also a lazy act. Once you do anything, you will have feedback. Even if you don't do it, there will be feedback, and even the effect may be the same. It will change the existing unreasonable situation and do not do whatever you want!"
"But if you follow it with nothing, it may be a higher cost. For example, if the monarch does nothing and let it develop, the people will be desperate and will be in reverse, and the world will be in chaos, and then the fields will be divided again, and the annexation will be resolved. If the monarch is good and does not allow it to develop and restrict it, although it is easy for the king to offend the people of the world, it can prevent the world from coming to the point of failure. Because the annexation needs to be resolved, it will be solved by the method of "destroying the world".
Wen Tiren explained his own views at this time. Although he was an ancient person, as an elite of this era, he had his own unique views on many social phenomena, and did not necessarily need Emperor Zhu Youxiao to give some suggestions.
At this time, Wen Tiren said again, "It's a pity that many of the vassal states in the Ming Dynasty now have been lazy and have done inaction. Sooner or later, there will be great turmoil!"
"The system of feudal division is a feudal system that does not care about it, but this dynasty cannot do so. It not only needs to be sealed, but also needs to be controlled! However, the salary and fees that are managed cannot be paid by the central court, but these vassal states must be paid by these vassal states!"
Zhu Youxiao put forward his own opinion. After he unified the world, his emperor, the central court, would really ignore the internal affairs of the princes and countries like the Zhou emperor.
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Wen Tiren and other assistant ministers answered in agreement.
"However, the most important thing at the moment is to unify the world and destroy all countries that are not China! The establishment of the global order will be done after this major event is completed."
Zhu Youxiao continued.
Lu Xiangsheng said, "English has been taught a lesson now, but there is no need to use troops to it for the time being. France is also sensible and does not have to spend a lot of effort to send troops to destroy him. Moreover, now we need to obtain the benefits of maritime trade through them. Therefore, in the opinion of the ministers and the matter of unification should be mainly expanded from land, while at sea, trade is mainly profitable."
"This is a good idea. At present, the biggest opponents of the imperial military are actually the Ottomans and Poland countries. They are the strongest countries in the west and have a tendency to unite to fight against our Ming Dynasty's advance westward. We must do a good job in dealing with the situation of joint obstruction of the entire West. They have realized our ambition to unify the world, so they have become more and more united."
Zhang Tongchang said at this time.
Zhu Youxiao nodded. He remembered that after more than ten years of history, the Ottoman Empire would start its last large-scale military use against Europe, known in history as the Battle of Vienna, but in the end, the Ottoman Empire was defeated and suffered heavy losses. From then on, it stopped its pace of expansion in Europe. Using this as a starting point, it marked the arrival of the era of European civilization suppressing the Ottoman civilization.
However, after listening to Zhang Tongchang's statement, Zhu Youxiao found that the global situation in this world had undergone great changes because the Ming Empire had not declined or even became stronger and more powerful, and its mad expansion.
The main threat to the Ottoman Empire was no longer European civilization, but China from the East.
The same is true for the countries on the European continent. With the destruction of the Rakshasa Kingdom, it is impossible for them not to realize that the westward advance of the Ming Empire has become their greatest threat.
This also led to the two major civilizations, which were originally a feud, had to unite to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
History is rewritten again at this moment!
The Battle of Vienna seems to be no longer possible.
"In my opinion, my Ming Dynasty's military use on land should take the initiative to attack in the north, which will be difficult first and then easy!"
"European countries such as Poland are in a period of rising military strength, while the Ottoman Empire seems huge, but its internal decline has been revealed! For example, many powerful vassal bureaucrats on the Arabian Peninsula have not been very obedient to their king's orders, unlike European countries such as Poland and the awakening of national consciousness due to the decline in control of the Holy See, which is what Your Majesty said, they have begun to enlighten their thoughts, so their countries can be united. If they really encounter foreign enemies, they can organize very powerful forces!"
"So, the court should focus on defense in the Ottoman Empire, focusing on overthrowing local vassal bureaucrats and obtaining oil through trade and other means. The resources the court needs are mainly oil, so it can completely tempt local people to cause trouble for the Ottoman Empire through the benefits generated by oil trade, and then the court will concentrate on dealing with European countries! First sweep to the Balkans, form a siege of the Ottoman Empire, and then destroy its country!"
At this time, Zhang Tongchang put forward his idea of the overall military strategy of the empire.
The Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty was responsible for many things, including intelligence collection, diplomacy, stealing, public security maintenance, cultural control, economic and trade supervision, and smoking ban. In addition, because after the great development of industrialization of the Ming Dynasty, the demand for ore energy was increasing, the Jinyiwei was also responsible for exploration of minerals, and after graduation from the Mining Academy, there was a Jinyiwei who was responsible for exploration of minerals.
Although internal combustion engines have just been released in the Ming Dynasty, large-scale use of oil has begun in the field of chemical engineering in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had already asked Jin Yiwei to pay attention to this matter and go to the Persian Gulf and the Caucasus to explore oil.
Therefore, Zhang Tongchang, as an auxiliary minister, knew that the Arabian Peninsula in the Persian Gulf was rich in oil, so he proposed the strategy of first north and then south.
"You have a discussion with the ministers of the Privy Council, and then let the Privy Council write a question book. After I am approved, it will be a strategy for further military use. At that time, the mobilization of officials from all over the country, the mobilization of troops, the mobilization of materials, the construction of transportation, castle, diplomatic construction, and cultural construction will all be implemented in accordance with this strategy!"
Zhu Youxiao ordered.
"Abide by the order!"
"The most important thing about everything is population, and it is no problem to defeat these countries in a military manner!
My magnificent Ming Dynasty has inherited the foundation of civilization for five thousand years and has developed several generations of technological advantages. How can the barbarians defeat it?
However, if there is a real defeat, there is only one possibility, that is, it can be because the number of Han people in the newly opened territory is insufficient, and the greed of local officials is added to the local government, and the Chinese culture is not yet rooted in the local area. Therefore, the local surrendered natives may change due to oppression, and then seek independence and overthrow the local rule of the Ming Dynasty! Even turning the former military glory into ashes. This has happened before, and there are many examples."
Wen Tiren couldn't help but put forward his opinion and turned to Zhu Youxiao and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that taking advantage of the high benefits brought by selling arms now and the compensation from England and Girie to promote the breeding of our Han family! Officials from all over the country must ensure that local men of appropriate age have at least one wife who can give birth to children! In addition, when elderly people are prohibited from marrying young women, it is because they have no ability to give birth to children and are insignificant to the uterus!"
"This can't be like a tree of pear blossoms that can crush the crabapple!"
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "Asking what he reported, there are more policies to encourage the breeding of the Han people."
"In this case, Neo-Confucianism must further criticize the people of Chongwen Temple and Hanlin Academy. Not only can the widows not promote their integrity, but they must also be defamed. It is best to not only set up arches and subsidize women who have given birth to a large number of children, but also grant them edicts and even official titles to commend their contributions to the nation and the country! The custom of having more children and blessings must be continued."
Lu Xiangsheng said at this time.
Zhu Youxiao nodded, thinking that in this era, there is no need to worry about boxing, and he pays too much attention to women's fertility function, and there is no need to worry about attracting too much criticism. Who made his Ming Dynasty today need the number of Han people?
Based on his later experience, Zhu Youxiao also knew that encouraging childbirth at this time and increasing the number of Han people was indeed a forward-looking measure.
Because the world has begun to usher in an era of great explosion of productivity, the world's population will undoubtedly surge exponentially. You should know that in history, even the Qing Dynasty, which has maintained stability by sweet potatoes, has ushered in a major explosion of population, and finally rushed to 400 million!
If the Ming Dynasty court encouraged Han people to have children at this time, it would undoubtedly increase the population of all mankind, and it would undoubtedly stabilize the status of Han civilization in the global world.
After Wen Tiren integrated the current financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, he next introduced that if a woman is pregnant, she and her husband will be subsidized by the court. The subsidy standards are required to set a standard of no less than twice the income of the couple based on the situation in the province.
This will undoubtedly be a huge expense.
But who made the Ming Dynasty rich now?
The main reason is that the Ming Dynasty court was rich and prosperous.
All the wealth around the world is concentrated in the Ming Dynasty.
