Chapter 512 Create conditions for beheading and raiding
There is no more Buenos Aires in the world!
In fact, on the way back, Zhu Xianhai, who had abandoned part of the "keep a low profile and bide your time" policy, made a targeted decision.
As soon as I returned to Buenos Aires, I informed everyone of my decision.
“Buenos Aires will be renamed this year!”
"Rename?"
Although Zuo Zongtang and others were a little surprised, they also knew that this was inevitable. After all, this place was very likely to become the capital of Nanhua, no, it should be said to be the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, they also prefer Ming Dynasty to "Nan Hua". "Nan Hua" is a place name and a province name, but it is not suitable as a country name. And what about Ming Dynasty? Where is the orthodoxy!
Of course, the most important thing is that this relieves their psychological pressure. After all, in the past, they still had the idea of loyal ministers not serving two masters.
But now that His Majesty has taken out the title of Ming Dynasty, they no longer have any psychological burden.
What’s the psychological burden?
They are now returning to orthodoxy. This is not a betrayal. This is the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period!
Therefore, their attitudes towards the country's name "Da Ming" are surprisingly consistent.
Just support with both hands!
Since the name of the country has been changed, the place names must also be changed. Even now they may not be able to pronounce the name Buenos Aires in full. Here in Nanhua, most people
Call Buenos Aires "Putcheng".
As for other Western place names, they are also very confusing to pronounce. Those place names have long been due to be changed. It would be great to change them to Chinese place names.
Now that this matter is mentioned in public, they naturally support it with both hands.
"I wonder, Your Majesty, do you have any favorite name?"
Zhu Hai smiled first, picked up the brush directly, and ordered someone to spread out a piece of "Nanhua paper" - this is rice paper produced locally in Nanhua. As early as eight years ago, immigrants from Xuancheng opened "Tongxingfang" in Nanhua.
Rice paper was produced using local raw materials, and later paper-making workshops appeared in Linhai. Even two years ago, naturalized Japanese people also built paper-making workshops. After all, scholars in Nanhua were interested in various traditional East Asian papers for the needs of calligraphy.
The demand is still very high. Today’s “Nan Hua Paper” is not even worse than rice paper.
Zhu Xianhai picked up the pen and put ink on it, and after thinking for a while, Zhu Xianhai wrote two words directly on the paper.
"Yingtian!"
Before anyone could react, Wang Youling clapped vigorously:
"Yingtian! This name is very good. This name is very good. In the past, Emperor Taizu Gao drove out the Tartars, restored China, and established the capital in Yingtian. Today, Your Majesty drives out the barbarians and restores China to a foreign land. Long live my achievements are not inferior to those of Taizu."
Emperor Gao, today we use "Yingtian" as our capital, which further proves that our Ming Dynasty is actually the place of Chinese orthodoxy, Yingtian... This name is very good, this name is very good!"
In terms of the speed of flattery, Wang Youling, who has been in officialdom for half his life, is definitely the master. It was he who persuaded him to join last time, and he is the flatterer this time.
Although Wang Youling took the lead, Zuo Zongtang was unwilling to lag behind and followed up with compliments.
"Making Yingtian the capital of the country not only expresses your Majesty's intention to inherit the Chinese orthodoxy, but also to continue our Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is far-sighted and far-sighted, and is absolutely within the reach of your ministers!"
Suddenly, the whole audience burst into cheers and warm applause.
Facing the compliments from everyone, Zhu Xianhai nodded and stretched out his hand to suppress the applause:
"You guys are so ridiculous. The reason why I named Yingtian as my capital is ultimately because of nature. Buenos Aires is located south of the La Plata River. Moreover, this place is far south, so it should be named "Nanjing".
, and this is my Chinese custom! "Nanjing" is "Yingtian Mansion". Since this place has belonged to China, they should follow the local customs. Since this is already the custom of China, they must follow it!"
What does it mean to do as the Romans do? Of course I am here and you follow my customs! After the Western colonists arrived in America, they did not follow the Indian customs. At most, the two families just cut each other's scalps. As for other things
Place names and the like are all European-style naming.
They even brought this habit to China. Just like in Hong Kong, even in the 21st century, isn’t the harbor between Hong Kong and Kowloon still called Victoria Bay?
Don't they say they are a civilized country? Well, Ming Dynasty will learn from them. Learn from the advanced experience of those so-called civilized countries. Now that this is China, it must be "de-Hispanic".
"Also, La Plata River. In Spanish, "La Plata" means "silver". We Chinese are not as philistine as they are, well..."
After thinking for a while, Zhu Xianhai wrote a few more words on the paper.
“Xin’an River!”
After writing these three words, Zhu Xianhai looked through the window towards the La Plata River in the distance, which should not be the Xin'an River, and then said.
"We, the people of China, have a long and peaceful life in this new land of China, opening up mountains and forests, bringing the barbarians back to Xia, and it is difficult to start a business. I only hope that we, the people of China, can live in this new land of China for a long time and continue our Chinese civilization!"
Perhaps, this city is not necessarily 100% loyal now, but soon, maybe five years, maybe ten years later, this city will definitely become the loyal Yingtian of the Ming Dynasty.
But if you want to become a "faithful Yingtian", there is still one thing you need to do.
"Changing the name also has another effect..."
Looking back at Zuo Zongtang and others, Zhu Xianhai said.
"It is to release the potential unstable factors!"
What is release is to lead the snake out of its hole!
After all, there are still many people here who are resistant to Ming's rule! Such people have been lurking in dark corners, like poisonous snakes, ready to give Ming the most fatal blow at any time.
Just like those European immigrants who betrayed Nanhua in the simulator. Now it's time to lure them out of those dark corners and deal with them once and for all!
"What your Majesty said is true. During your Majesty's expedition to Europe, countless Europeans with different aspirations prayed to that god for them, not for our victory, but to curse our defeat. Your Majesty, you are not of my race."
, His heart must be different, if he wants the world to enjoy peace, he must resort to thunderous means!"
Wang Youling, who once served as the governor of Shanxi, knew better than anyone the resistance of those white people to Nanhua, no, it should be said to the Ming Dynasty. Because of this, he never minded using special means to solve some problems.
"Your Majesty, the thunder method is easy to use, but if the movement is too big, it will be unsightly. Moreover, local European immigrants involve various European countries. If done carelessly, I am afraid it may easily cause a diplomatic turmoil. The British have always been there.
Keep an eye on us!"
The reason why Zuo Zongtang, who once visited Europe, spoke out to dissuade them was not because he didn't think those people were unstable factors, but because he knew very well what kind of double-standard dogs European countries were, and they could kill so-called "barbarians" at will.
"People", but if someone kills their people, they will have a different face. Now for Ming Dynasty, there is absolutely no need to conflict with European countries because of these things.
"That's why we have to lure the snake out of its hole!"
Zhu Xianhai raised the corners of his mouth and sneered.
"Luring the snake out, as for the rest, Yingjiu, you did a good job when you were in Shanxi. I think I'll leave this matter to you!"
Wang Youling quickly cupped his hands and said.
"I obey the decree!"
…
"What do you think?"
After everyone left, Zhu Xianhai called Qian Zizhuang over alone and asked for his opinion.
"Your Majesty, the name change will definitely cause turmoil for a period of time, but now is the time. When we first occupied this place last year, people's hearts were not yet stable, and stability was the priority. What about now? Your Majesty has returned in triumph with the power of victory, and has conquered various places.
It is natural for place names to become Chinese. Under the might of the military, no one dares to object. However..."
Looking at His Majesty, Qian Zizhuang said.
"I just don't know if His Majesty has any other plans."
"Those who know me well will still be proud of you!"
Zhu Xianhai laughed loudly.
"What other plan could it be? If there is one, it is just to kill rabbits and kill some people who need to be dealt with. But what? The military might be great, but it scares all the people.
That’s not a good thing! What about it, is there any good way!”
Sometimes we are quite helpless. The wars in the past two years have been so smooth that it scared the courage out of some people. All of them have become obedient citizens.
This is not a good thing.
If those people don't come out to cause trouble, we have no reason to kill their heads and ransack their homes.
Ming Dynasty is a civilized country!
Whatever we do, it is within the scope of the law.
So let those people jump out no matter what.
Why did you jump out?
Of course, I’ll take a chance and kill their heads!
"As long as Your Majesty is willing, I will definitely find a way to do it!"
Qian Zizhuang's words were the same as in the past. He still didn't say much. He just told His Majesty straightforwardly - he can do it!
If you have the conditions, you have to go up. If you don't have the conditions, you have to go up! And creating conditions is what he is good at.
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'm waiting for your good news."
