Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters Zhu Yuanzhang whirlwind
"Sir, the Japanese country has been struggling for several years. I heard that countless potatoes and sweet potatoes have been stationed for a long time. Why haven't they sent out troops yet? What's going on?"
Lao Zhu was very anxious, because according to Zhang Ximeng's design, there were two tripods in the Americas, one each in Australia and Africa, one each in Tianzhu and Dashi, one in Eastern Rome, and one in Western Europe.
These are the eight statues. The largest remaining one is naturally from China, and it is also the main cauldron. This statue must be the largest, and the materials used must be several times that of the other eight statues.
There is not much gold in the Central Plains, and we have to rely on Japan to export it!
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "My lord, don't be anxious. Actually, this matter has something to do with the mentality of the Japanese people..."
"What mentality?"
Zhang Ximeng said: "Although the Japanese were brave, ruthless and shameless, they had a strict hierarchy and the superiors had absolute authority over the subordinates. Therefore, it was difficult for them to step forward, raise their arms and shout, to directly overthrow the shogunate."
Zhang Ximeng chatted casually with Lao Zhu. According to his observation, the biggest problem of Japanese people is that they are awkward.
You say that they are very polite on the surface, but in their hearts, they do not have strong moral restraints. Gentlemen are cautious about independence, while the Japanese country is on the contrary. It is a shame if they do bad things and are exposed. If they are not exposed, they will be complacent.
If you are proud of it, write it in a book, treat it as a successful experience, and publicize it widely.
They also treat the superiors in the same way. To say that they respect the superiors is not necessarily because those generals and famous names have long eclipsed the king and have no power at all.
However, if you want to completely abolish the country's leader and change the world, the Japanese people do not have the courage.
Especially in the land of China, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are all absolute heroes, and when mentioned they give a thumbs up.
However, in the Japanese country, they had a strong rejection of those who dared to be the first to stand up and resist. Mentally, they were even more afraid of change.
Therefore, they can only make troubles, and it is difficult to have a real reshuffle like the Central Plains... So even hundreds of years later, the upper class of the Japanese country will still be the upper class, ordinary people will still be ordinary people, and there will be differences between the superior and the inferior.
An unbridgeable gap.
Even if you fall into a hot-blooded anime, if you don't have a strong bloodline, you can only be used as cannon fodder.
So when it comes to the passion of the Japanese country, it’s just noble people descending to the earth and working hard to make progress. As for ordinary people, ordinary people? Are they still considered human beings?
Zhang Ximeng talked to Lao Zhu that the Japanese country lacked an opportunity right now, that is to say, someone needs to stand up. This person must not be a high-level person, but probably someone from the bottom. It is up to him to provoke the war, and then completely eradicate the shogunate...
Lao Zhu frowned, "Sir, we can't hurry up, we have to wait impatiently!"
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "My lord, I am too impatient to eat hot tofu. In a place like Japan, there is no need for us to end too early. Anyway, according to my calculations, it will be enough for three or two years. You must know that these young ministers take the lord's money seriously."
I made tens of thousands of copies of the biography and sent them to Japan."
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled, "Our biography? Are those three books?"
"yes!"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "In fact, not only the Japanese Kingdom, but also the Southeast Asian countries, including the original Yinli Khanate, Fulin Kingdom, and even Europe and Africa, His Majesty's biography has appeared... The original text translation, a total of three books,
It can be regarded as a holy book of rebellion."
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said angrily: "Sir, what you said is not nice!"
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said: "Although it doesn't sound good, it is true. After all, in these countries, it is really hard to imagine that a person with such a humble background can reach such a high position... Lord, I encourage you to cast the Jiuding.
To set rules for the world is really not to flatter or be arrogant, but to be a true master, a role model, and the hope of the poor in the world. I am afraid that even you yourself don’t know how much you can give to the poor in the world.
So inspiring!”
Lao Zhu was startled, his old face turned red unconsciously, and he subconsciously said: "Is this like this?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled slightly, "That's true. Please don't doubt it, my lord. I'm afraid I've underestimated my lord's influence!"
This time Zhang Ximeng really didn't lie at all. Places like Ryukyu and Goryeo are almost in business, but Zhu Yuanzhang's autobiography trilogy is still a hot seller.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Those who were slightly literate or even illiterate traders would buy Lao Zhu's biography, keep it at home, and enshrine it.
Because they know that the fact that they can be on an equal footing with the gentlemen of the past, own land, and live like a human being is all given by this man.
His status was even humbler than that of the others, and his experience was even more miserable. But this man did not accept his fate, but instead held a three-foot sword and conquered thousands of miles of land little by little, becoming the most noble Emperor!
He eradicated all the great men. He also made laws to restrain himself and put the emperor on the same legal status as ordinary people. Business income must be taxed, and royal property must be clearly divided and announced to the world... He is the most noble
Emperor, but also the most approachable emperor.
The existence of Zhu Yuanzhang makes the nobles of those small foreign countries look ridiculous!
Who do you think you are?
You say you are born noble and are born noble, but Emperor Hongwu tells you that there is no such thing as a born noble, everyone is the same!
You said that it is natural for you to eat, drink, dress, enjoy life, and be above the common people. But the problem is that even the Ming Emperor thought so. What qualifications do you have to think so?
What the hell are you?
Do you dare to compete with Emperor Hongwu?
Today, the powerful Ming Dynasty has formed a demonstration effect.
The size of the country, the degree of governance, the development of civilization... From any angle, the Ming Dynasty can be called a paradigm!
A new benchmark in the world!
This is definitely different from Mongolia... The Mongols also have powerful martial arts, conquered countless territories and established a huge country.
But sorry, the Mongolian core is empty.
They only have some habits of their own, but no complete ideas and no systematic civilization.
This is completely different when it comes to Daming.
The demonstration effect of the Ming Dynasty was too powerful.
For example, the aforementioned Annan overthrew the rule of the Chen Dynasty and eradicated a large number of local wealthy landlords. In the past few years, Annan has quickly become the granary of the southern Ming Dynasty, able to provide more than five million shi of rice every year.
In addition, Annan also consumed one million bolts of silk muslin, and the country's food, clothing, housing and transportation have been comprehensively improved.
Annan's progress is seen in the eyes of other countries.
Storms are brewing in Nanjang, Champa, Siam, and even Myanmar.
The biography of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is also widely circulated in these countries. They even wrote Zhu Yuanzhang into the lyrics and sang it everywhere while playing local instruments.
What’s interesting is that because Zhu Yuanzhang wrote about his time as a monk in a temple, monks from various Southeast Asian countries actually began to take the initiative to tell the story, and even called Zhu Yuanzhang the Manjushri Bodhisattva with unparalleled wisdom.
They simply ignored the facts, and even if they tried to make do with it, they were not afraid of Lao Zhu demolishing their temple and driving all the monks back home!
Anyway, in these places, because they have been influenced by the Central Plains culture for a long time, there are many people who know Chinese characters, so the biography of Lao Zhu spreads quite quickly, and there is basically no deviation.
But after developing westward, things began to go wrong, especially after arriving in Europe, it was a bloody storm... The first one to bear the brunt was Fulin Kingdom.
His Royal Highness was the first to translate Lao Zhu's biography into the country, and also introduced extensively the situation of the Ming Dynasty, stating that he would imitate the Ming Dynasty, reform bad governance, and strive for self-improvement.
His intentions were naturally good, but when Constantinople saw this, it completely exploded.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang's experience just illustrates a problem. Anyone can change their destiny through their own efforts, not only changing themselves, but also changing the country.
In a word, people must strengthen themselves and save themselves!
This caused a conflict with the gods in Constantinople. The clergy here advocated pious prayers and relied on the gods to appear in order to save them!
Moreover, they also have a concept that personal efforts may not necessarily lead to salvation from the gods. In other words, if you accumulate virtue and do good deeds, the gods may not necessarily help you. It also depends on the mood of the gods. For ordinary people, your The task is to have devout faith.
This is a very clever way of saying it, and it completely avoids the embarrassment of the Eastern gods... If you don't do it right, no one will come next time.
But Lao Zhu's biography reveals the idea that man can conquer nature.
As long as people's enthusiasm is fully mobilized and correct measures are taken, the weak can defeat the strong, and finally win a complete victory, and achieve the feats of gods with a mortal body.
Just imagine, if ordinary people believed this, they still wouldn’t disintegrate Bingxiao!
Therefore, many people stood up and criticized Manuel, saying that he sold his soul to the devil and that the devil from the east had instructed him to deceive others with his evil words.
He should be expelled from the royal family immediately and never allowed to come back.
But there were other people in Constantinople, mainly secular nobles, some generals who led the army, and big businessmen with strong financial resources.
From Zhu Yuanzhang's biography, they saw hope and a new governance model, which inspired them a lot.
This group of people firmly advocated comprehensive imitation of the Ming Dynasty and reform.
These two groups are in tit-for-tat confrontation, and at the same time, there are a large number of scholars who are impressed by the civilization shown in the East. Many people advocate learning from the East, acquiring knowledge, and finding new methods... Some of these scholars , has boarded the ship and embarked on the road to Daming.
In Western Europe, the impact from the East continued to ferment, and Rome tried its best to block and distort the news from the East... But no one expected that in the far west of France, a large number of people who advocated learning from the Ming Dynasty appeared first.
The reason is also very simple. At the moment, France is fighting the Hundred Years' War with Britain, and unfortunately, they are still at a disadvantage... France can surrender to anyone, but it must not surrender.
So... French King Charles V decided to follow the Ming Dynasty and form a new type of armed forces. A whirlwind named Zhu Yuanzhang began to blow.
