Chapter 1418: Go with the flow (Second update, please subscribe)
"beep……"
With the whistle blowing, a Tang Dynasty ocean cruise ship slowly sailed out of Nagasaki Port and headed towards the ocean.
In a war, only ships from neutral countries could sail freely, and Datang was a neutral country.
After the declaration of war, many Japanese ships changed to fly the Tang Dynasty merchant ship flag. For no other reason than to maintain a neutral identity.
Neutral countries can sail freely in the Pacific Ocean.
Of course, the British did the same thing. There was a Ming Concession in Haizhou, and the Ming Dynasty could register shipping companies there. There was also a British Concession, and the United Kingdom could do the same. Well, the United States did the same thing.
Almost overnight, Datang became a shipping power - the registered tonnage of merchant ships increased by more than 3 million tons overnight.
However, the "Shanhe Ocean Cruise" is a standard and upright Datang cruise ship. This ship is even the pride of Datang's shipbuilding industry - this ship has a displacement of 19,000 tons, a total length of 187 meters, a width of 22 meters, and a speed of 18 knots.
The fast cruise ship was built by Dalian Shipbuilding Company five years ago. The ship's maiden voyage chose the Hawaii, Mexico, and Imperial Western Coast routes. It is the largest cruise ship in Datang. In the past five years, it has shipped to Hawaii and Mexico.
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
Now, this cruise ship full of immigrants is setting off again.
Standing on the deck of the top class cabin, Zuo Xiaoxun looked at Japan going away and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"that's all?"
Is it the shattering of dreams? Or the loss of faith?
Zuo Xiaoxun didn't know, but he knew that he was going home.
go home……
Zuo Xiaoxun couldn't even remember the last time he went home. Was it three years ago, or... it seemed like almost five years ago!
"I always have to go home and take a look. After all, my father is also old..."
After such a long sigh, his heart was filled with loss. For twenty years...he had worked hard there for twenty years.
Is this the result?
Is this the end?
"Your Majesty, how can this be done?"
When Zuo Xiaoxun was still unable to figure out the holy intention, Emperor Zhu Da was chatting with Qian Degong in the imperial capital on the other side of the world.
"It's just the beginning!"
Emperor Zhu Da sighed and then said.
"Xiaoxun and the others have a good idea, but... the time is not mature enough!"
People of the Ming Dynasty have never forgotten where their roots are. The people of the Ming Dynasty will take root in the New World, but their blood will always be rooted in China. In the textbooks of the Ming Dynasty and the literary works of the Ming Dynasty, the connection with China has never been cut off.
.
Even the tombstones of the Ming Dynasty people will be engraved with their ancestral home rather than their current place of residence. Emperor Zhu Da also encouraged and supported the inheritance of this bloodline.
Because of this, there are many people like Zuo Xiaoxun in the Ming Dynasty. They may have been born in China, grew up in the Ming Dynasty, or were born in the Ming Dynasty, but after witnessing the poverty all over the Tang Dynasty, their hearts arose.
A belief - change.
They want to change that ancient land, and they long for the people there to live happily and prosperously like them, instead of living like slaves.
It is with this ideal in mind that many people are working hard to achieve this goal. Among them are important officials in the court, children of distinguished ministers, social sages, university professors, and ordinary people. They established the Tangshan Association, which
The association is not just for "blood connection, two hearts". It is for an ultimate goal - to change that country! To change that country that has been ruined to a state of disgrace by people who are sanctimonious but almost completely heartless!
Why did Emperor Zhu Da stop them?
Because in the simulator, he saw what happened to the Tang Dynasty - after the world war, the Tangshan Association launched an uprising. They tried to overthrow the Tang Dynasty through an uprising like the previous uprising, thereby changing that country.
.
But the uprising failed. After all, after learning the lesson of being "forced to Liangshan" last time, Li Shaoquan had already taken some precautions. After the uprising failed, a small-scale civil war even broke out in Datang. This was obviously not
What Emperor Zhu Da could accept.
"Some things must be done one after another. Li Shaoquan may be pedantic, but he will not fail to learn lessons. After all, back then, more than a hundred middle- and lower-level officers could launch a coup. He must have taken precautions. Once the uprising failed, it was very likely that
It will affect our relationship, so it is appropriate to stop them, but..."
Qian Degong looked at His Majesty and said.
"However, we can stop it for a while, but not for a lifetime. They are right. If the Tang Dynasty is not destroyed, China will not prosper. Moreover, when the time comes, they will also ask the prince to take charge. For the Ming Dynasty, this is the real
Integration!”
Looking at Qian Degong, Emperor Zhu shook his head and said.
"If it succeeds, it means integration. If it fails, it means centrifugation. Now the time seems ripe, but in fact it is not. Let's wait a little longer!"
"Your Majesty, this matter can only wait for a while."
"Just a moment is enough!"
Emperor Zhu Da smiled confidently.
Why is waiting just a moment enough?
Looking at Qian Degong who was a little confused, Emperor Zhu Da explained.
"The Tang Dynasty will join the war sooner or later. Once it joins the war, the new officers who have been deliberately suppressed for many years will quickly replace the Huai Army veterans and become the chief officers of the army. Their power will expand in the war, from the army to the navy,
Young generals will become the mainstream in the military..."
Why do uprisings fail in the simulator?
Because it is the veteran Huaixiang general who holds the military power!
"When 90% of the division commanders are young generals, it will be a trend. Besides, Li Shaoquan is already old, and Li Jingfang is the eldest son, but he is not his biological son. This trouble will definitely come out. When the disputes arise, things will
It’s easy to handle, they won’t let the country fall into chaos, you have to trust them!”
Sometimes, things are just that simple. During the war, the Integral Faction grew in strength. Li Shaoquan would die two years later, and Li Jingfang began to fight for the throne. But what they did not expect was that the troops they mobilized would soon defect before the battle.
After all, most of those officers care about their country. Otherwise, they would not have launched a coup to put Li Shaoquan in power more than ten years ago. What about now? They feel that the Li family is not good enough, so they just plan to change the emperor.
Well, now there are better options.
"His Majesty……"
Looking at His Majesty in astonishment, Qian Degong realized that when it came to coups... His Majesty was the master. In just a few words, he had already calculated everything!
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
"There is no such thing as sage or unsage, the key is momentum!"
Emperor Zhu Da smiled.
"The general trend of the world is that those who follow the trend will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. What we need is to follow the trend."
The old group has died and a new book club group has been established: 739209015. Everyone is welcome to join and discuss and deduce the plot together.
