Changes and progress in the ideological field are never so simple. As the only civilization without inheritance, Confucianism has had a great influence on all dynasties.

Especially the level of ethics, Emperor Chongzhen could not easily leverage it by saying a few words or doing a few things.

There are actually many things to do to change your mind.

The world is so big, I want to go and see it.

This sentence is nothing in later generations, but it seems a bit out of the way in the Ming Dynasty.

What's good about the area outside the Ming Dynasty?

Isn’t it just some uncivilized wilderness?

The four words "Going to Heaven" are not as simple as saying it.

Although the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period faced many challenges and hidden dangers, and even if there were many contradictions, it was still a centralized unified feudal dynasty.

The comprehensive national strength in this era is among the best.

During the same period, the European countries were still purifying bloody accumulations, slowly and firmly renovating Africa, America and other places.

Cabinet Minister Liu Hongxun, under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, stepped forward and bowed: "I don't know what the European countries are trying to send a mission to the Ming Dynasty, but I know that at the current level of the state, I cannot experience any risks.

Of course this is just the worst plan.

Since the maritime power of the European countries is supported by a group of pirates, can't the Ming Dynasty do this?

collision?

In this way, I will intervene in the field of Nanyang and gradually become accustomed to the European countries. Emperor Chongzhen did not think that the Ming Navy, which developed, had a relatively close supply line, and the prosperous shipbuilding industry would not be able to survive the ocean.

The maritime forces of various countries of Europe.

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up his sleeves and looked at Liu Hongxun who was making suggestions. In fact, Emperor Chongzhen knew what was going on with his thoughts.

In fact, the countries of Europa have long coveted China, and the Kingdom of Gold is what they believe to be the Kingdom of Heaven.

Under such a major change in such a special period, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about something.

Zheng family.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's maritime forces were steadily developed.

"Can I bring harm to the Ming Dynasty by summoning these people? They are all important officials in the court. Do you even understand this truth?

Why be afraid?

During the Tianqi Dynasty, during the period of the Imperial Extreme Emperor, some of the maritime forces of Europa wanted to invade the territory of our Ming Dynasty.

"Are my Ming navy all decorations?"

After all, the naval development during this period is still in the early stage of exploration. Even if the naval war cannot defeat them, they can turn to the war of attrition and stalemate, but they can't defeat these maritime forces from various European countries?

The cabinet, the Censorate, the Six Ministry and other court officials heard the various questions raised by Emperor Chongzhen, look at me, look at you, and show different expressions.

I want to ask the person who submitted the rules and regulations.

I am afraid that the maritime forces of various countries in Europe will know the situation of the Ming Dynasty, and after seeing the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, I will covet the Ming Dynasty.

Being beaten?

"Your Majesty, the current situation in which the dynasty is in is a demand for stability."

Maybe it's possible, but no matter how much you think about it, you can't do it.

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different!

The war in Liaodong, the Japanese riots in Jiangnan, the stalls in Henan, the Yansheng Gongfu case in Shandong, the assassination case in Jiangnan, the rectification of river governments in various places, etc.

With these things happening one by one, it seems that the situation in the country is very stable, but in fact there are many hidden dangers..."

Do you understand the countries of Europe? Do you know their national conditions? Do you know their strength? Do you know their maritime power distribution?"

Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and interrupted Liu Hongxun's words, saying aloud: "What are you worried about in your family? I know, but because of this, should I be afraid of the Ming Dynasty?

Liu Hongxun is good everywhere, but he is a little stubborn.

Emperor Chongzhen did not think that the Ming Dynasty, in the early stages of the reform, had initially had the original industrialization process. Relying on its favorable geographical location, the battle in marginal areas would not be able to fight a group of European countries across the ocean at sea.

strength.

It's really stubborn.

When these so-called pirate forces are all dissatisfied, they want to ask for more times and then use larger-scale naval battles to resolve these pirate forces. This is not only the whetstone of the Ming Navy, but also the Ming Dynasty.

The beginning of the navy's power.

Benefit?

If the Ming Dynasty's attitude and policies towards the outside world were changed in the past, and the Ming Dynasty was asked to catch the last bus of the Great Navigation, relying on the Ming Dynasty's reasonable position, actively, targeted, and gradually open up and expand to the outside world, then it would bring it to the Ming Dynasty.

What?

newborn?

As for the South China countries, Tianzhu and other places adjacent to the Ming Dynasty, there are many problems and threats, both internally and externally.

These local pirate forces in the Ming Dynasty, wearing the Ming Dynasty's official skin, gave them corresponding real power and dividends, and first helped the Ming Dynasty support the overseas maritime defense line.

Yan Family.

Wenhua Palace.

"I don't understand that summoning people from various European missions can cause such great controversy between the government and the country." Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the memorial in front of him and looked at the ministers in the hall. A bright light flashed through his eyes, loud and loud.

Said.

But what is the result?

Isn’t it still the Fujian Navy defeated?

Do you know why I want to summon the Europa mission? Or choose this special period!

That is, I discovered the problem. In the past, the Ming Dynasty treated the opening of the sea, and it was always on the spot.

However, the maritime forces of the European countries, while our Ming Dynasty was in the same place, were still infiltrating the powers under our command into the countries of Southeast Asia. Haven’t you ever thought about the impact behind this?”

Xu Guangqi, Wen Tiren, Bi Ziyan, Huang Liji, Liu Hongxun and other ministers showed different expressions when they heard what the emperor said.

"Look at it all, these are some models of sea ships offered by the Europa mission." Emperor Chongzhen extended his hand and said, "In the past, my Ming Dynasty's attitude determined that the ships on the sea had serious lag, or serious regression.

The situation, this is no trivial matter!

Why did Japanese riots occur again in the coastal areas of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River? Isn’t it just that some people saw that the Ming Dynasty was weak on the sea, so they were so unscrupulous?

Everyone is changing, but I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot change? What is the reason for this? If anyone can convince me, saying that the Ming Dynasty was threatened from the sea is not a big deal, then I will not mention this matter anymore!"

While Emperor Chongzhen was talking, Wang Chengen led a group of eunuchs in the inner court, holding models of sea ships, and walked into the hall. Xu Guangqi, Wen Tiren and others looked at the models of sea ships in front of them, but their hearts were filled with thoughts.
