Chapter 1217 The Battle of Civilizations (First update, please subscribe)
It's just a job!
A considerable number of people in European and American countries take "anti-Ming" as their job and as a profession.
They advocate "anti-Ming", they make up lies, and they incite ignorant people, but in fact they are just doing it for work.
Anti-Ming is the password of wealth. Of course, it is also correct.
Although, in 1885, the Ming Empire had long been a member of the civilized countries, the civilization represented by this country was definitely different from the Anglo-Saxons, and different from the civilization represented by the Germanic and other European races. It is this kind of civilization
Their differences made the entire European world regard them as aliens.
The so-called work, life, and business are essentially due to the sense of crisis after the "intrusion" of aliens. Some people feel the crisis, and some people take it as an opportunity.
"This is the competition between Western civilization and Eastern civilization!"
"This is a competition between Westerners and Easterners!"
In the Ming Dynasty, there were similar voices. This was a battle of races and a battle of civilizations.
In fact, when the Ming Dynasty transformed into the "Chinese Tiger" and suddenly broke into the dining table originally dominated by the "European gray wolves", the Ming Dynasty became an outlier.
Maybe the wolves can accept the tiger as a "carnivore" to participate in the sharing of prey. They may even be afraid of the power symbolized by the tiger and awe of the tiger's huge body, but this does not mean that they truly accept the tiger.
For wolves, the huge tiger is a predator that preys from their mouths, and an enemy that must be fought.
Aliens are aliens, and there is absolutely no acceptance or recognition between the two. For tigers and wolves, no matter what happens now, they will eventually fall into an unprecedented killing, and there will only be one winner in that killing.
What about the losers?
The loser will become the prey in the mouth of the winner, will be eaten by the wolves, and will be devoured by the wolves, not even the bones will be left.
"There are no survivors in the battle of civilizations, they are destroyed!"
On the campus of Zhongdu University, Emperor Zhu Da chatted with Takeshi Inoue while walking.
Takeshi Inoue, who was born as a samurai, did not become a citizen by paying a blood tax for the empire in Africa. As Minister of Culture and Education of the Japanese Protectorate, Inoue Takeshi made great contributions to the education of Japan.
When he was in office, he compiled the "Education Edict", which was also appreciated by the Imperial Ministry of Education. The content of the "Education Edict" runs through the principles of loyalty and filial piety, benevolence, faith, respect for heaven and ancestors, maintenance of the national system, observance of etiquette and law, and thrift and self-discipline.
Traditional morality instills the idea that the interests of the royal family are above all else in order to maintain the imperial state.
It has to be said that the Japanese people were extremely adaptable in the process of integrating into the empire. After all, the Japanese people in this era have not yet formed a true national concept. Even educators like Inoue Takeshi are loyal to the empire.
In fact, Emperor Zhu Da was originally opposed to the "Edict on Education", but seeing the loyalty to the royal family every word in it, how could he not be happy as an emperor.
Learn from each other’s strengths!
What is the empire's openness to all rivers? This is the openness to all rivers, so it has been extended to the whole country. But what about Inoue Takeshi?
Naturalization is also a special purpose. Well, it means naturalization and becoming a Ming Dynasty citizen. It is different from raising a flag... In fact, it is almost the same. In the Qing Dynasty, only the banner people are human beings, and others... are not human beings.
In the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty... must be superior to others.
Adhering to the principle of not trusting those who are suspicious, but trusting those who are employed, Takeshi Inoue was appointed as the president of Chuto Imperial University by decree after resigning from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports of the Metropolitan Protectorate. This position is very glamorous.
Not only was the appointment letter issued by the emperor himself, but even after taking office, Emperor Zhu Da personally came to the school. After chatting about some education-related topics, the two naturally talked about the international situation and "civilized competition."
superior.
This is an eternal topic. In the 21st century, in the face of the rise of China, there have been similar debates.
"What your Majesty said is true. Westerners are all ambitious people. Once our Ming Dynasty is defeated by them, they will definitely destroy our Chinese civilization. By then, even if we Chinese people still exist, they will be nothing more than soulless zombies.
That’s all, its misery will be far worse than Yashan Jiashen.”
Nodding slightly, Emperor Zhu Da said.
"It is indeed far better than Yashan Jiashen. In fact, Constantinople four hundred years ago is an example. The Roman Empire was once the mother of European civilization. It was founded for thousands of years, and its civilization was almost as good as that of China. However, since the Tianfang Sect occupied Lianghe
Basin, and then the fall of Constantinople to the hands of the Ottomans, the Roman civilization that illuminated the European continent became its last song. Although the cruel light of Roman civilization illuminated Europe and set off the European Renaissance, what about Rome itself?"
Emperor Zhu looked towards the northeast and said solemnly.
"Rome itself has completely disappeared from this world, and even the Romans have become Turks. This is the final result of the conflict of civilizations - the losers not only have nothing, but even their own nation ceases to exist, such as Egypt
People, like Romans, like..."
Emperor Zhu thought of the distortion of his mind after the sinking of China and more than two hundred years of enslavement and subjugation by the Manchus. This was just a distortion of his mind, but in the battle of civilizations, what the winner destroyed was not the spirit.
No, but the soul!
"In the end, what awaits us will be the destruction of our country and our species! Therefore, in this battle of civilizations, we must win this competition at any cost."
"Your Majesty, this is not a competition!"
Takeshi Inoue said.
"This is a war! It is different from any war in the past. This is a war between civilizations, just like the theory of evolution - survival of the fittest! Inferior civilizations are destined to be eliminated. This is the inevitable development of civilization. For example, in ancient Egypt,
Ancient Babylon, such as the Inca, no matter how glorious their civilization was in ancient times, if they could not win this civilized war, they would be destined to be eliminated, and the so-called "Egyptians" and "Babylonians" would be eliminated along with the civilization.
, they actually disappeared in the long river of history,”
"Yes, it is not just civilization that has disappeared, it also includes people...because what distinguishes people is not just blood, but also civilization. In many cases, the latter is more important than the former,"
"Your Majesty even said that Japan is a member of China. Just because Japan's culture originated from China and is a member of Chinese civilization, it is naturally Chinese..."
This is Takeshi Inoue!
Always know when to show your loyalty!
Emperor Zhu nodded slightly, then looked at him and said.
"So, in this battle of civilizations, philosophy is very important. The further development of Chinese civilization cannot be separated from philosophy. When philosophy flourishes, civilization flourishes. The superiority of imperial civilization is not just the superiority of life.
It should be the leader in all aspects, so Jing Qing’s family.”
Turning his attention to Inoue Yi, Emperor Zhu said.
"You have a long way to go!"
Facing His Majesty's request, Takeshi Inoue immediately said excitedly.
"I will do my best and die to repay Your Majesty for your kindness!"
In fact, Emperor Zhu Da said the same thing to several other principals... about the battle of civilizations!
It is really not easy to win this competition that is related to the survival of the nation!
One of the most basic prerequisites for winning this competition is to win the broadest support. This support is not only the support of the people of the country, but also the support of the people of other countries.
How is this possible?
Why do people in other countries support Ming Dynasty?
In fact, it is very simple. After all, for the people all over the world now, they are really living in dire straits. They endure poverty and hunger in the slums, they are squeezed in the factories, and their bodies suffer heavy loads.
The ravages of labor.
And what about the Ming Empire?
It is simply the light of humanity now. As long as there is a channel for them to see this light, do you still worry that they will not support the Ming Dynasty?
Channel... what is this channel?
Of course it's propaganda.
publicity!
In fact, in the past 20 years or so, the most important thing for Emperor Zhu Da was publicity. The dozens of newspapers he bought in Europe and the United States at that time are still being published today, and the newspapers tell the story of the Ming Dynasty.
Why Ming Dynasty has become the light of mankind now is not because they continue to report the work and life of Ming Dynasty people to the world.
And that seemingly simple life is exactly what people in this era long for, and it is the life they yearn for.
When everyone is yearning for Ming Dynasty, will they still resist Ming Dynasty in this competition?
