No one dares to be careless about the quality of the project.曗
Today's Ming Dynasty does not have the same saying as in the former Song Dynasty, where the doctor could not be punished. If the emperor says he wants to punish you, then no one can save you.
The reason why the imperial court adopted the payment method of project payment in installments was not only to monitor the quality of the project.
More importantly, there is also the idea of reducing the financial pressure required by the imperial court to build railways.
Dividing the project payment into ten years can ensure that the Ming Dynasty's finances will not have problems due to too much expenditure at once.
Within these ten years, the court can also use money to make money through financial investment, further reducing the court's financial pressure in large infrastructure projects.
Moreover, the imperial court's financial growth and inflation factors must also be taken into consideration.
A huge sum of money made ten years ago may not be so exaggerated ten years later.曗
As for whether the imperial court took such a long time to repay the money, it would make the merchants and gentry below feel unprofitable and not participate in the imperial project construction.
In fact, there is no need to worry!
Today's Ming Dynasty does not have as many investment opportunities as in later generations. As long as you have money, you don't have to worry about having nowhere to spend it.
Although the Ming Dynasty has made initial progress in industry and commerce, for the landowners and gentry in many places, conservative thinking has made them unwilling to participate in industrial and commercial development and financial investment.
After they make money, their only choice is to buy a house or land, or bury the money in their cellar.
Now, the Ming Dynasty has a policy of restricting land annexation.
The imperial court was very strict on the purchase and sale of land. Basically, it could be said that it did not support private land sales.曗
If someone wants to sell land, they can only choose to sell it to the court.
The imperial court will purchase the land at the average local land price!
If someone wants to buy land, they can only buy it from the imperial court.
Although the court's actions will inevitably lead to collusion between officials and businessmen, under the premise that it is currently unfeasible to retake land into public ownership, it is better than allowing land annexation.
Because if Zhu Hongyu did this, the landowners and gentry in the world would stand up to rebel against the Ming Dynasty and restore the Qing Dynasty.
The foundation of Ming's rule will also be shaken.
Zhu Hongyu could be the emperor in this era because his ruling base was the army that was loyal and supported him, the scholars who aspired to the Ming Dynasty, the landowners and gentry, and the large merchants who supported his development of industry and commerce...曗
There are no ordinary people who just follow blindly!
Zhu Hongyu never considered himself the savior of the suffering people.
He has a very clear understanding of his position.
He was a feudal imperial ruler who had some sympathy for the ordinary people and wanted to promote the emergence of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty and complete social changes, and who had relatively advanced ideas. That was all.
Now that he has become an emperor, he will not become a bitch and still build an arch to show off his status as a savior.
The reason why he introduced policies to take care of the people at the bottom is because he still has a conscience and wants to strive for welfare for the bottom as much as possible.
But in the final analysis, it’s for himself!曗
In order to rule stably, for the reputation of loving the people like a son, and to alleviate social conflicts as much as possible...
Zhu Hongyu has never denied that he is a selfish person.
Zhu Hongyu may be a good emperor, but he cares more about the word "emperor" than "good".
…
From a certain level, changing the target of land trade from ordinary farmers to the court can avoid many dark and dirty things from happening, and can also ensure the basic rights and interests of farmers.
Landowners and gentry often resorted to unscrupulous means to acquire land.
However, their methods can be used on ordinary people without any problem. How about trying it on the imperial government? 曗
More importantly, in this case, the land trade will be recorded with the court, so that the court can have detailed data on the land acres in the world.
The court can know who owns the land and who should collect taxes, thereby ensuring that the court's agricultural taxes can be collected.
Therefore, under the various restrictions of the court, land annexation has become difficult.
The only choice before those landowners and gentry was to bury their money in the cellar.
But money cannot make money after it is buried in the cellar.
Although you will earn less by investing in large infrastructure projects of the imperial court, it is still better than burying your money in a cellar and racing against inflation.
Don’t look at the fact that the current monetary system of the Ming Dynasty is a gold and silver standard, and banknotes are just an add-on.曗
But as the world's silver and gold continue to flow into the Ming Dynasty due to trade surplus, gold and silver currencies will also have concerns about inflation.
If you bury money in the ground, your wealth will shrink over time.
Although the profits of the imperial court's outsourcing of infrastructure projects are not that high and the payment is relatively slow, it is still profitable to some extent.
Besides, when the imperial court outsources infrastructure projects, a portion of the money will be repaid every year, rather than the entire amount being repaid after ten years.
For many landowners and gentry, it is still acceptable.
…
In April of the fifth year after the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, Ren'an Qiang in Myanmar.曗
As the climate gets warmer after the beginning of spring, Myanmar has entered the annual rainy season.
The climate is getting hotter and hotter, and along with the rise in temperature comes continuous heavy rain.
Faced with this unsolvable natural environment, the main force of the coalition forces was forced to stop their large-scale march plan. Instead, while stationed in Ren'anqiang City, they sent troops out to suppress the area.
Of course, although the climate is hot and humid after the rainy season, the coalition forces are not completely lying down, waiting for the season to enter autumn.
Instead, professional rainforest combat troops were dispatched sporadically to sweep through local states and counties in Myanmar and wipe out local opposition forces.
In order to realize the Ming Dynasty's actual control over Myanmar!
In the process, these tropical rainforest troops dispatched from Southeast Asia showed impressive combat effectiveness.曗
As good news spread frequently, a large amount of seized money, food, and prisoners of war were also escorted to Ren'an Qiang.
Then transfer to the north!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the imperial court offered a public purchase price for prisoners of war and slaves, even Annan, Siam and other national troops in the coalition could not restrain themselves and participated in the war.
During the raid on Myanmar.
As long as someone is caught, it's money. Who can refuse this kind of thing?
In fact, if they were not able to adapt to the rainy season on the Indochina Peninsula, even Guan Ningjun and the samurai sent by the Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan would not be able to help but participate in it.
Liu Shantai sat in the military tent, looking at the numbers reported below, his face full of joy.
In just over a month, the troops sent by the coalition wiped out more than 30 armed resistance forces and captured more than 115,000 male and female prisoners of war...曗
It can be said that the results are fruitful!
Liu Shantai knew that if the emperor could see this number, he would be very happy.
The current Ming Dynasty is experiencing an extreme shortage of labor, especially in the southwestern provinces. The large labor gap makes the imperial court's development of the southwest appear weak.
The investment of these prisoner-of-war laborers will allow the imperial court to start implementing its development plan for the southwest.
As for whether these prisoner-of-war laborers are armed resistance forces or ordinary Burmese people, Zhu Hongyu honestly doesn't care.
And Ryu Shantai doesn’t care even more!
"The campaign to liquidate local areas will continue. Only when all local resistance forces are wiped out can Myanmar truly become the Burma of the Ming Dynasty."曗
Myanmar in this era has a population of about five to six million. What Ryu Shantai wants to do now is to turn all five to six million people into workers for the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this is impossible to do.
But it is still possible to pay half of it.
Those docile people living in towns may be able to turn a blind eye, but those wild and untamed primitive tribes living in the mountains must be cleared away.
Slowly exhaling a breath, Liu Shantai spoke to himself.
"take it easy!"
“This matter cannot be rushed!”旗
"..."
…
Nanjing, Forbidden City!
Zhu Hongyu looked at the battle reports sent back from the Ren'anqiang front line, and looked at the recent results of the coalition forces and the prisoners of war workers they had captured. Zhu Hongyu recovered from his bad mood because the coalition forces stopped advancing.
Of course, although he was in a bad mood, he had no intention of urging the front line to advance.
Due to the current hot and humid climate in Myanmar, Zhu Hongyu urged the front line to march because he was ill.
He is not a battlefield novice who does not understand military affairs at all.曗
He, Zhu Hongyu, also fought his way out of the battlefield.
Zhu Hongyu closed the battle report and turned to thinking about how to arrange so many prisoner of war laborers.
In other words, where should these prisoner-of-war laborers be used?
After thinking about it, Zhu Hongyu murmured.
"Perhaps the imperial court should build a cement official road or railway connecting the entire southwest..."
It is true that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads.
Without improving transportation, there will be no way to develop industry and commerce.曗
There is no way to sell local specialties to other countries, and there is no way to let capital and goods from other places flow into the local area. Naturally, the economy cannot develop.
If the imperial court wanted to develop the southwest on a large scale, the first thing it had to do was build roads.
Even if we are temporarily unable to build a large-scale railway network, it is quite necessary to transform the official roads into cement.
The arrival of these Burmese prisoners of war just filled the vacancy in the imperial court's labor force.
Zhu Hongyu sent an order to the Ministry of Construction to make corresponding infrastructure plans.
When the war in Myanmar ends, it will be the best time for the imperial court to build large-scale infrastructure in the southwest and prepare to develop the southwest.
Zhu Hongyu continued to review the memorial.曗
Today's Ming Dynasty is prosperous in all aspects, and government affairs are naturally busy.
Even with the help of the cabinet, the secretariat, and the director of etiquette to handle government affairs, Zhu Hongyu is still very busy every day.
I deal with government affairs during the day, and occasionally work overtime or stay up all night.
I have to deal with the concubines in the harem at night, which is very tiring.
There are not even a few days of rest in a month!
The emperor behaved exactly like a social beast, and it can only be said that he was a dead dog.
Zhu Hongyu finally understood why emperors in ancient times were generally short-lived.曗
After struggling like this every day, no matter how good your health is, you won't be able to hold on for a long time.
Fortunately, Zhu Hongyu still insists on exercising every day, no matter how busy he is with government affairs, and his physical fitness has not declined.
While Zhu Hongyu was handling government affairs, Zhou Tianxu, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and Lin Muen, the governor of the East Factory, came together to ask for an audience.
Zhu Hongyu put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his sore eyes, and said.
"Pass people in!"
After saying this, Zhu Hongyu picked up the teacup and took a sip of the warm tea.
The tea he is drinking now contains cassia seeds. Cassia seeds have the effect of clearing the liver and improving eyesight. Zhu Hongyu has been overusing his eyes recently, so he drinks some cassia seeds tea.曗
And soaked together with cassia seeds are some wolfberries!
Cassia seed tea is paired with tea, and is usually brewed with other things. The reason why wolfberry is chosen can only be said to be the true nature of a man.
Although Zhu Hongyu is not yet old enough to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup, this does not prevent him from replenishing his kidneys.
I believe that no man would not want to make his kidneys better!
Zhu Hongyu had just taken two sips of tea when he saw Zhou Tianxu and Lin Muen walking into the imperial study room together, and then they all bowed and saluted.
"I will see you at last, Your Majesty!"
"Slave, please see Your Majesty!"曗
"May your Majesty be blessed!"
"..."
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and then spoke.
"Give me a seat!"
After saying this, several young eunuchs moved the embroidered piers for the two of them, and then asked them to sit down.
After both of them sat down, Zhu Hongyu asked.
"The two nobles came to see me. What are they doing?"
Zhu Hongyu felt that something might have happened. Otherwise, Zhou Tianxu and Lin Muen, the commander of the Jinyi Guards and the governor of the East Factory, would not be able to come to see him without hesitation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhou Tianxu and Lin Muen looked at each other, and Zhou Tianxu said.
"Your Majesty, this is news from the southwest."
"Many rats were found in the coalition's logistics system..."
Lin Muen also spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have got the exact information."
When Zhu Hongyu heard this, the faint smile on his face disappeared, and the teacup in his hand was placed on the table.曗
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Zhu Hongyu asked in a low voice.
"Have you checked it out? Does this matter have anything to do with the generals on the front line?"
Zhou Tianxu knew that the frontline general the emperor was talking about was Liu Shantai.
Zhu Hongyu was able to appoint Ryu Shantai as the head coach of the coalition forces and put him in charge of the war against Myanmar, which shows his trust and respect for him.
If Liu Shantai is involved in this corruption case in the coalition, Zhu Hongyu will really be very disappointed.
Zhou Tianxu heard this and spoke.
"Reporting to your Majesty, this matter does have something to do with Liu Shantai, but it doesn't matter much."
"At best, he is lax in his supervision and supervision, but there is no transfer of interests between him and those powerful rats."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongyu's originally gloomy expression improved slightly.
Zhou Tianxu also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
The sense of oppression on the emperor's body, who really knows who is facing it, is so scary!
Zhu Hongyu did not burst out in the end, took a deep breath, and then spoke.
"I will put this matter on hold for now and let me suppress it."
"We will wait until the war in Myanmar ends before dealing with it."曗
"Before that, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang need to jointly take action to prepare the corresponding evidence, and also summon people from the Military Law Department to see me..."
"Before the action is launched, this matter must not get out of the spotlight at all, do you understand?"
The war situation in Myanmar is tense now. As long as Zhu Hongyu still has sense, he will not be able to promote anti-corruption actions in the military at such a critical moment.
For now, stability is the top priority!
After hearing this, Zhou Tianxu and Lin Muen both bowed down.
"I'll understand later!"
After saying this, the two of them took their leave.曗
Zhu Hongyu rubbed his eyebrows in pain, his expression not very good.
To be honest, Zhu Hongyu doesn't like corruption, but as an adult, he is not intolerant of corruption.
Because he knows that as long as human nature remains, corruption is inevitable.
This has nothing to do with the system, the law, or social morality. There is no absolute pure white or pure black in this world, but more of it is actually gray.
In life, it is impossible for everything to go as planned. Compromise is something that everyone must experience.
The purpose of Zhu Hongyu's anti-corruption campaign is not to fight corruption, but to clean up the court and officials.
Those former officials who were traitors were subtly cleared out of the officialdom through anti-corruption methods.曗
Use Zhu Hongyu's Yuan Cong team, or officials who became officials in the subsequent imperial examinations, to replace the entire official team bit by bit.
Anti-corruption is only a means, not an end!
Nowadays, there are many corrupt officials in the government, and Zhu Hongyu knows many things well. There are even evidence of corruption of some people on Zhu Hongyu's desk.
However, he did not purge corrupt officials in the DPRK, at least not on a large scale.
The regular small-scale cleaning, in addition to cleaning up the officialdom, also has the meaning of "running water does not rot and door hinges do not have beetles".
Instead of large-scale purges, Zhu Hongyu was unwilling to destabilize the political situation of the court.
However, although Zhu Hongyu has a certain tolerance for corruption, this tolerance does not include the military.曗
Zhu Hongyu has always had zero tolerance for corruption in the military.
The deterioration of the military's combat effectiveness in the pre-Ming Dynasty began with corruption.
As the saying goes, if the Ming army is not satisfied with its pay, it will be invincible if it is fully paid.
Then why were the Ming army dissatisfied with their pay?
Where did the money distributed by the imperial court go?
To put it bluntly, wasn’t it corrupted?!
Therefore, ensuring the integrity of the military is Zhu Hongyu’s bottom line.曗
Because he knew that the real foundation of imperial power was nothing else but the army loyal to the emperor.
If the army is abolished due to corruption, then the imperial power is almost abolished.
…
The sea stretches as far as the eye can see!
A large fleet of ships was slowly approaching.
The flag belonging to Ming Dynasty is flying high on the mast.
There are barnacles growing near the waterline on the hull, and the presence of these barnacles greatly slows down the speed of the ship.曗
On the lookout pole, a lookout with a telescope looks into the distance.
Du Wenhai stood on the deck of the ship, looking into the distance with dark eyes.
Counting from the time of his eastward journey, it had been nearly two years since he led his team to leave Daming.
In two years, he led a team to sail the route to the New World.
And they built settlements in the New World, and built simple docks and settlements in the places they passed along the way.
A stable route to the New World was discovered for the Ming Dynasty.
Now, judging from the chart, he will soon return to the Ming Dynasty again.曗
Naturally, I can’t help but be a little excited!
In the past two years, he has experienced strong winds and waves on the sea, witnessed the barbaric cunning of the indigenous people, and experienced the life and death of his subordinates...
The fleet was full of 6,000 people when it set off!
Two years later, only a thousand people could return to the Ming Dynasty with the team.
Of course, not all of those five thousand people died.
Although there were some casualties, most of them were left in the settlements along the route and the Ming Dynasty's stronghold in San Francisco!
The purpose is to prepare for the next large-scale immigration of the imperial court to develop the New World.曗
Du Wenhai took a deep breath, and he was deeply impressed by the salty sea breeze.
As the fleet got closer and closer to the Ming Dynasty, Du Wenhai couldn't help but feel nostalgic for his hometown.
"Sir, our fleet is almost arriving in Shanghai. Not far ahead is Zhoushan Port."
The commander of the fleet came to report, and when he spoke, his face was full of joy.
Du Wenhai nodded slightly.
"Send the order, speed up the voyage, and we'll return as soon as possible!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The fleet raised its sails and sailed quickly towards Zhoushan Port.曗
Not long after, they were stopped by two steam-powered offshore patrol boats.
A loud sound came from the electric horn mounted on the patrol boat.
"This is the Daming Sea. The fleet ahead will lower its sails and anchor immediately and accept interrogation!"
"This is the Daming Sea. The fleet ahead will lower its sails and anchor immediately and accept interrogation!"
"..."
This is why the flag belonging to the Ming Dynasty is flying on the ships of Du Wenhai and others.
Otherwise, these patrol ships would not have such a good attitude towards ships of unknown origin.曗
Du Wenhai also heard the sound coming from the patrol ship on the opposite side and said.
"Send the fleet to lower the sails and anchor, and accept the interrogation!"
As the order was issued, the eastbound fleet began to lower its sails.
The patrol ship also sent people to board Du Wenhai's ship, preparing to conduct routine inquiries.
However, when he saw the certificates produced by Du Wenhai and others, as well as the relevant documents of the eastbound fleet, the Ming soldier who boarded the ship for inspection solemnly gave a military salute to Du Wenhai.
He hit his chest hard with his right fist, his eyes were solemn and respectful.
He also knows something about the forerunners of the eastbound fleet.曗
With their eyes darkened, they resolutely embarked on the road to find routes to the New World. It is hard not to be admired.
Du Wenhai also returned the gift, and then asked in a deep tone.
"Can we go home now?"
When the Ming soldier heard this, he spoke very decisively.
"Of course!"
"Next, please let us clear the way for heroes!"
"..."旗
After saying this, he returned to the patrol boat.
Then, two patrol boats began to lead the way for the eastbound fleet.
The fleet headed all the way to Zhoushan Port!
As the fleet got closer and closer to the coastline, many ships gradually appeared on the endless sea.
The white sail shadow, black hull, and blue sea form a sharp contrast.
As the fleet got closer and closer to the coastline, more and more ships appeared in front of them.
The prosperous scene of the Ming Dynasty appeared in front of everyone.曗
Gradually, the black coastline appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The tall lighthouse is painted with white paint, so it looks quite conspicuous.
Guiding the way for everyone!
Sailors, soldiers, doctors, carpenters, and other countless people in the eastbound fleet spontaneously boarded the deck and cheered toward the coastline.
Everyone knows where their home is and where their roots are!
The eastbound fleet quickly docked at the naval port in Zhoushan, and news of the fleet's return was telegraphed to Nanjing.
...曗
Zhu Hongyu, who was handling government affairs, received the news that Du Wenhai and others had returned to Ming Dynasty, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
The expression on his face was one of unbearable anticipation.
Now that Du Wenhai and others are back, it means that the route to the New World should be successfully opened.
It is estimated that the gold mine in San Francisco should also have been discovered!
The Ming Dynasty’s large-scale development and immigration to the New World should be put on the agenda.
Thinking about these messy things, Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth and gave instructions.
"Send an order to Zhoushan to summon Du Wenhai to Beijing for an audience."
After Zhu Hongyu's order was given, the little eunuch serving beside him said yes.
"Well, I understand!"
…
In May of the fifth year after the Ming Dynasty was restored, the eastbound fleet finally returned to the Ming Dynasty after two years of sea voyage.
In early June of the fifth year after the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, Du Wenhai, commander of the eastbound fleet, was summoned to Beijing to meet the emperor.
Outside Nanjing, Du Wenhai looked at Nanjing at the end of the horizon in the distance, his eyes full of admiration.
“After the city wall was demolished, the size of Nanjing city expanded a lot!”曗
Although Du Wenhai was shocked by the emperor's decision to demolish the Nanjing city wall, he was even more surprised by the development of Nanjing city.
Next to Du Wenhai, an indigenous tribal messenger from the New World, Yongniu Boli, also stared at the city of Nanjing in the distance with his eyes wide open, extremely shocked.
Although in the New World, just by looking at the size of the fleet, they knew how powerful and wealthy the "Da Ming" tribe was.
After all, if the Ming Dynasty was not strong and rich enough, it would not be able to organize such a huge fleet to sail thousands of miles.
However, only after he arrived in Ming Dynasty and saw the vastness and prosperity of Ming Dynasty, could he have a concrete understanding of the power of Ming Dynasty.
The endless shadow of sails on the sea, the densely packed ships in the Yangtze River waterway, the smooth cement road, the bustling city, countless pedestrians...
In the eyes of Buffalo Bully, there is no difference between Ming Dynasty and heaven.曗
The city of Nanjing in front of him was even more prosperous than he could have imagined.
The current city of Nanjing has a population of more than two million and nearly three million. The huge urban agglomeration in the Jiangnan region with Nanjing as the center is siphoning wealth from the entire Ming Dynasty and even the world.
The market is prosperous, the urban construction is neatly planned, the environment is beautiful, the air is fresh and clean, and the pedestrians coming and going are decently dressed and polite...
There were no beggars in ragged clothes or homeless people without enough to eat.
Hunger, chaos, robbery, theft and other bad things seemed to be insulated from this great city.
Not to mention in the eyes of a group of natives from the New World who live in a primitive tribal state.
Even in the eyes of Europeans at the same time, the current Ming Dynasty, especially the city of Nanjing, is no different from the legendary paradise.曗
"Dear Du, is this paradise?"
Buffalo Bully looked at the prosperity of Nanjing and couldn't help but ask.
When Du Wenhai heard this, he just smiled slightly and said.
"Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It is the best place in the world and the center of the world. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a paradise."
When he said that Nanjing is the center of the world, Du Wenhai's face was filled with pride.
"Boli, let's go faster, don't keep His Majesty waiting!"
After saying this, he quickened his pace.曗
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Buffalo Bully, who has always been used to being wild, rarely felt restrained, but he still accelerated to keep up with Du Wenhai.
The person responsible for guiding them was Zhu Hongyu's personal eunuch named Zhao Changan. Zhu Hongyu used to call him Xiao Anzi.
But outsiders did not dare to call him that. Even the ministers of the court had to call him Zhongguan Zhao or Superintendent Zhao when they saw him.
As long as there is a brain, no one will offend the people around the emperor.
In an era when imperial power was supreme, these people who were close to the emperor also represented part of the imperial power to a certain extent.
If they offend these people, it may not be enough for them to achieve success, but it will definitely be more than enough for them to fail.
As a foreign minister, Du Wenhai is naturally no exception.曗
"May I ask, Lieutenant General, where will Your Majesty plan to summon the final general?"
Hearing this, Zhao Changan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
"His Majesty is currently waiting for the general's audience by the Xuanwu Lake."
"General, just come with me!"
Zhao Changan knew that the emperor valued Du Wenhai, so naturally he would not show off to Du Wenhai.
As a close minister of the emperor, Zhao Changan may not know anything else, but he is definitely good at taking care of others.
Du Wenhai followed closely and continued to ask.曗
"I wonder how your Majesty is feeling now?"
The expression on Zhao Changan's face remained unchanged, he smiled and said.
"After hearing that the general had returned from the New World, His Majesty has been in a good mood and the smile on his face has never stopped."
"Those of us slaves who serve the imperial commander have also been in the general's favor these days."
When Du Wenhai heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became a little brighter.
"That's good!"
"..."旗
The group of people quickly headed towards Xuanwu Lake.
Walking through the city of Nanjing, people passed by from time to time on both sides of the wide streets, pointing at the buffalo Boli and others who were wearing animal skin skirts and with brightly colored bird feathers on their heads.
Obviously, they are watching the fun!
"These natives are not ugly, they are much prettier than the foreigners with red hair and green eyes, but the way they dress is a bit unflattering."
"Who says it's not? Look at that animal skin skirt. I'm afraid no one wore it like that during the Xia and Shang Dynasties, right?"
"It is said that the indigenous people in this New World are the survivors of the Yin Shang Dynasty. When the Zhou Dynasty was established on behalf of the Shang Dynasty, they migrated to the New World. Looking at the appearance of these indigenous people, it is somewhat credible."
"..."旗
Regarding the fact that the Indians in the New World are the survivors of the Yin Shang Dynasty, it is a confusing account to put it bluntly.
No one can prove it, but no one can falsify it.
To a certain extent, it is indeed possible for the survivors of the Yin Shang to immigrate to the New World through the Bering Strait.
But to be more realistic, the possibility is actually very low.
In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, China already had the habit of recording history. If there was a large-scale immigration, it would be impossible for later generations not to record it.
But if it is a small-scale immigration that is not worthy of being recorded in history books, given the world environment and technical conditions of the Yin and Shang era, if it is only a small-scale immigration, there is a high probability that all the people on the road will die.
At that time, it can be said that once you leave the Central Plains, there is wilderness everywhere.曗
The possibility of dying on the migration route is quite high.
And what you need to know is that the name Indian actually comes from the misunderstanding of Westerners.
After Westerners first landed in the New World, they regarded the New World as India. That's why the name Indian came into being, and the name Indian came into being.
It has nothing to do with Yin Shang.
But does it matter?
it is not important!
The most important thing is not whether the Indians are survivors of the Yin Shang Dynasty, but whether Zhu Hongyu thinks they are survivors of the Yin Shang Dynasty.曗
If Zhu Hongyu wants it, then they must be.
Obviously, Zhu Hongyu wanted them to be.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty now claims that the Indians in the New World are the survivors of the Yin Shang Dynasty is actually very simple.
One is to promote that the Ming Dynasty has the legal authority to rule the New World!
The second is to pave the way for public opinion for the Ming Dynasty to assimilate Indians in the future.
As for the evidence that the Indians are survivors of the Yin Shang...
At worst, the Ming Dynasty forged a wave of cultural relics and threw a batch of them along the way from Nurgandusi to the Bering Strait, and then threw a batch of them to Alaska in the New World and the indigenous tribes along the coast of North America.曗
Wouldn’t it be enough to then dispatch relevant teams to carry out excavation work?
Based on the information dissemination conditions of this era, it is very simple for Zhu Hongyu to grasp the high ground of public opinion and control the direction of public opinion.
As long as he does this, from now on, the New World will be the promised land for us Chinese.
The Indians are the survivors of the Yin and Shang Dynasties!
They are my beloved relatives, friends, and brothers and sisters of the people of Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, Zhu Hongyu is still confident that the world's mainstream public opinion will recognize this.
Obviously, Zhu Hongyu’s public opinion offensive has already begun.曗
The first place to start is Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the most beautiful place in the world...
