Chapter 711: Yao Guangxiao returns to Beijing, changes in seven years
Huang Guan is so easy to use. The key is that the awareness is very high. [.\nCOM Situ’s updated chapters are the most complete and comprehensive, and the error-free content is repaired in the most timely manner. Due to caching reasons, browser access is recommended.\nCOM official website]
After the selection was completed in Nanjing Zhili, Huang Guan also applied to Zhu Ying and went to Peking in person to supervise.
However, this request was rejected by Zhu Ying.
Most of the leadership of the expeditionary force has been completed in the capital, and we will just pick them up and set off to Peking. There is no need to make another trip.
The Ming Dynasty's army was not that bad and could not even complete this task.
With the detailed articles of incorporation provided by Huang Guan, you can just follow the rules.
Compared with the south, soldiers in the north obviously have some advantages, especially those living in the Liaodong area, who have long been accustomed to the cold.
However, considering that after crossing the Bering Strait, the four seasons in North America become distinct, so both the north and the south are needed.
After the preparations for the expedition were completed, Zhu Ying summoned Huang Guan into the palace again to discuss arrangements for Nanyang.
"After seven long years, I didn't expect that when I came to the capital again, everything would have changed."
The Zhengyangmen Pier was bustling with people, and there were shouts of people moving goods everywhere.
Yao Guangxiao sighed deeply as he looked at this strange yet familiar dock.
Originally, there were just some dirt roads here, but now everything you see is paved with concrete.
Not only the pier, but also the river seems to have been widened. There are so many boats coming and going, which shows the prosperity.
Yao Guangxiao heard about Zhengyang Avenue when he left, but he never saw it with his own eyes.
At this moment, looking at the dense crowd on the broad avenue, I was a little shocked.
Grandma Liu's feeling when she entered the Grand View Garden was like living in the countryside in later generations and suddenly arriving in a bustling metropolis.
"Your Highness Taisun, you are really, really good."
Yao Guangxiao's eyes brightened.
In the past, he had never had much sense of belonging to the country of Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, the change of dynasties was normal. What he cared about most in this life was to display his ambitions and talents and leave his name in history.
Until he saw the current Daming Dynasty, it gave him a huge impact.
Yao Guangxiao, who has lived in Goryeo for a long time and then went to Japan and the grassland, can say that his eyes have been opened to see the world.
But everything in other countries is as insignificant as an ant in front of the capital of Nanjing.
Whether it was the workers carrying the goods or the merchants coming and going, all of them had red faces and longing eyes, reflecting the vigorous vitality of the Ming Dynasty.
In everyone's heart, there is an ideal country.
Yao Guangxiao, who came back for the first time in seven years, felt that he had found where he belonged.
Yes, seven years have passed.
I left home at the age of fifty-seven, and now I am sixty-four.
In old age, people will inevitably have the idea of returning to their roots after falling leaves.
After the ship docked, Yao Guangxiao refused to take a direct train with his entourage, wanting to take a good look at the brand-new Nanjing.
Naturally, he was still accompanied by two guards.
Yao Guangxiao was wearing the cassock representing the Goryeo Imperial Master, which was extremely luxurious.
Although the restrictions on clothing are not as strict as before, ordinary people would not dare to mess with those who can wear such cassocks.
When Yao Guangxiao walked into Zhengyang Avenue, he seriously felt what it meant to rub shoulders and rub shoulders. Even if it was a small restaurant, there was a long queue.
This is an outer city, and there are already so many people.
According to the public, that's okay.
Among them, Yao Guangxiao also noticed that almost every two alleys he passed, he could see the signboard of the Public Security Office, which meant that there were a large number of security personnel in the capital.
This is my country.
At this moment, a sense of national pride arose spontaneously in Yao Guangxiao's heart.
Perhaps only people who have been away from home for a long time will have such a strong feeling.
In fact, Yao Guangxiao should have returned last year.
But because I was waiting for Zhu Quan.
Zhu Ying summoned Yao Guangxiao back to reform the Central Plains mythology system.
But Goryeo cannot be given up. Someone must guard it.
Currently, there is a situation where the three parties are working hard to maintain the current Goryeo. If the balance is broken and Yao Guangxiao leaves directly, then Li Chenggui will definitely take advantage of the situation to seize the throne of Goryeo.
Therefore, Zhu Ying chose Ning Wang Zhu Quan to take over.
This is not a matter of enfeoffing the vassal state temporarily and replacing it with Goryeo.
It was also considered that Yao Guangxiao was in his sixties, and at such an old age, his physical condition was a problem. Once something happened, Gao Li's plan might come to nothing, so he made Li Chenggui a wedding dress.
Zhu Quan is young, has experienced wars in recent years, and has some ability in strategy.
Replacing Yao Guangxiao is not a big problem.
Yao Guangxiao had to wait until Zhu Quan arrived and completed the handover before he could come back. After going back and forth, this was the time.
"Dao Yan is back? Why didn't he come to the palace?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, Master Dao Yan wants to take a walk around Nanjing alone."
Zhu Ying got news from Jinyiwei and heard that Yao Guangxiao was shopping. Only then did he realize that seven years after Yao Guangxiao left, earth-shaking changes had taken place in the Ming Dynasty.
"Okay, let him go. He is tired from traveling and traveling. Let him rest for a day and come back to the palace tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Jin Yiwei left, Zhu Ying smiled and said to Huang Guan, "You should know Dao Yan."
Previously, Zhu Ying had been discussing with Huang Guan the layout of Nanyang.
Huang Guandian nodded: "Master Daoyan's reputation in Tianjie Temple is very resounding, but when I arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Master Daoyan had already followed King Yan to Peking."
Yao Guangxiao went to Peking in the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, while Huang Guan entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor in the Hanlin Academy in the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu's reign. Naturally, they were separated.
Zhu Ying smiled and said: "Dao Yan is a talented person who has profound knowledge and has studied Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism very deeply. This time I want to reform and improve the Central Plains mythology system, and his help is indispensable."
Zhu Ying had already told Huang Guan before about the influence of mythological systems on overseas education and beliefs.
This aspect is Huang Guan's weakness.
After all, Huang Guan read the Four Books and Five Classics, was a serious Confucian scholar with a good education, and had very little exposure to the theory of gods and ghosts.
Zhu Ying wanted to learn from the prehistoric setting of later generations, which naturally involved many detailed names and taboos.
How could Zhu Ying memorize these names?
Those stories have basically been forgotten after reading them. I only remember them roughly. If I really want to write them down in detail, don't be ridiculous. He is just a college student, not an expert or professor in this field.
Furthermore, his level of Yawen is also very average, and the new prehistoric system will inevitably produce two versions, Yawen and vernacular.
It is obviously difficult for ordinary people to complete the setting of this prehistoric system.
On the one hand, there are only a few people who are proficient in both Taoism and Buddhism. On the other hand, Zhu Ying needs to include private information in his words. Only Yao Guangxiao is the most familiar with this kind of thing.
Zhu Ying also wanted to include the gods of other countries, such as the Olympian gods of ancient Greece, ancient Egyptian mythology, ancient Indian mythology, Nordic mythology, and even the ancient Roman mythology that has been lost.
The ancient mythology system is also included.
Even the so-called God must be included.
For other small countries, it will naturally be lowered by one level.
Nowadays, many places in the world have not formed a large system of mythology, especially with the initial integration of world civilizations. If a unified and perfect world mythology system is released, there will definitely be a huge market.
Originally, the Ming Dynasty is the most fertile, powerful, and mysterious country in the world, so it makes sense that the prehistoric mythology system is the strongest.
If anyone thinks it's unreasonable, fine, as representatives of the mythological system, let's take a look and find out.
As for Timur, it doesn't matter. Currently, Tamerlane does not have any local mythological system, and Persian mythology is currently fragmented.
Furthermore, although Timur was influenced by Persian culture and called himself Sultan, he was actually a Turk, and he inherited the legacy of the Mongol Empire.
In terms of confrontation with the mythological system, it is not worth mentioning at all.
It's even simpler in Europe.
After all, the ancient Roman Empire had collapsed, and Europe was divided into fragments of small countries. The total number of people in Europe is not as large as the people of the Ming Dynasty, even from a mythological perspective.
The power of belief in the gods of our Ming Dynasty is much greater than yours. How can your mere millions of believers compare to the 80 million followers of my Ming Dynasty?
Moreover, in the mythological system drawn up by Zhu Ying, the emperor himself was also a representative of the gods, but he had the power to confer gods.
This is considered the coverage of civilization.
Civilization is one aspect, but force value is also very important.
The final showdown, of course, relies on fists.
Zhu Ying pointed to Nanyang on the map and said: "The entire Nanyang is close to our Ming Dynasty. My plan is to gradually migrate the people within ten years, and then control the military armed forces of the entire Nanyang. Even if the Nanyang countries are retained, at least they will have to go to the military
change."
Demilitarization is a new term. Huang Guan has never heard of it before, but it is easy to understand.
He asked with some confusion: "His Highness's Ming Dynasty Ocean Trade will gradually open manors in various countries in Southeast Asia, recruit serfs, and grow food. In this way, the resentment generated by the people can be transferred to various countries. Why should it be allowed to do so?"
Our Ming Dynasty will bear the responsibility."
"With the military support of our Ming Navy, we can control all the coastal waters in Malacca and seize its money and food to enrich the Ming Dynasty. I think this is the most efficient way."
The indirect rule of demilitarization will also make the people of Nanyang complain about the Ming Dynasty. If they just open farms, this resentment will not affect the Ming Dynasty.
The outbreaks that occurred over time were also borne by the countries in Southeast Asia.
So Huang Guan didn't understand this.
Zhu Ying was very familiar with this section of the Little Glacier Bridge. After all, he had already told the old man about it once, and now that he had told it again, he could easily understand it.
Liu Rixin was used as a shield again.
Zhu Ying slowly recounted how climate change affected the change of historical dynasties, so that two hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty was suffering from ice, locusts were everywhere, and famine was everywhere.
After hearing this, Huang Guan was deeply shocked.
He didn't expect that Taisun had already seen the Ming Dynasty two hundred years later, but he was so short-sighted.
He stood up and bowed and said: "I am stupid, my grandson is doing this for the benefit of future generations."
Zhu Ying waved her hand: "It's okay. You don't know this information. It's normal to have such thoughts."
Huang Guan's thoughts began to change. After pondering for a moment, he said: "In this case, if you want to conquer your country, you must first make it chaotic. Our Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Rushing to send troops violates moral standards and damages the majesty of our great country."
"Chaos has arisen within it, just like Annan. I, the Ming Dynasty, should attack with the force of justice to bring order to the chaos, so that we can control it."
Zhu Ying nodded slightly.
This idea is the same as his.
The Nanyang countries have their own cultural beliefs and complete governing institutions. If there is no chaos, it will be difficult for Ming Dynasty to have any reason to intervene.
Sending troops to attack is the last resort.
If you are too strong and show your determination to unify Nanyang, it will easily unite the countries in Nanyang.
Don't underestimate Nanyang, not to mention the coastal areas. The inland areas are mostly tropical jungles with miasma everywhere, so the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty went into the forests to fight. Plague casualties were a big problem.
Moreover, once the war breaks out, the wealth coming from Nanyang will also decrease, and the overall interests of Ming Dynasty will be greatly affected.
Even if the entire territory of Nanyang is captured, a large number of troops will still have to be used to suppress and deal with rising uprisings everywhere.
In the end, it shook the foundation of Ming Dynasty.
Among them, the biggest impact is on climate and environment.
If there were a large number of plain areas, they would have been bulldozed by him long ago. Of course, in this case, it would not be Zhu Ying's turn to do it, and the previous dynasties would naturally have been completed earlier.
"What does Your Highness think of selling firearms in Nanyang?" Huang Guan suddenly said after thinking for a while.
Zhu Ying was a little surprised and asked: "Tell me in detail."
Huang Guan continued: "The matchlock gun invented by His Highness is undoubtedly an artifact in small-scale combat. However, due to the large-scale equipment used in the army and the opening of firearms factories throughout the country, the matchlock gun and granular gunpowder are no longer of great importance.
's secret."
"Nowadays, in addition to purchasing secretly in Daming, many of these maritime merchants even have their own small workshops for production."
"Compared to our Ming Dynasty, the matchlock guns they produced are naturally much inferior in terms of durability and power. Now that the secret has been leaked, it is better to let them buy and dump firearms in Nanyang to support local gangs, nobles and all parties.
power."
"Under this situation, it will be more likely to cause chaos. At the same time, it can also guide our Ming family to intervene in the fight, and then use the navy to suppress it and wait for the opportunity."
Zhu Ying smiled and nodded: "Your idea is very good. Please write down a charter with specific arrangements."
"There is a shortage of manpower in James's Mansion right now. If you see which talents are suitable, you will recruit them to make plans and put up a good fight."
Huang Guan's ideas are very similar to Zhu Ying's.
Zhu Yinghui's idea was based on the historical circumstances of the concessions of the previous great powers.
Huang Guan didn't have the ability to know about history and later generations, so he came up with these ideas through his own research, and they were extremely correct directions.
In later generations, the concessions eventually disappeared.
The reason here is actually related to the number of people.
The great powers have few people and can only occupy upper-level rule.
The Ming Dynasty is different. At present, 80 million people are already the largest country, and now they are encouraging childbirth.
In fact, even if they are not encouraged, they are still frantically having children. Two babies in three years is a basic operation.
Therefore, when people continue to migrate and the population ratio reaches a certain level, the countries in Southeast Asia will naturally belong to the Ming Dynasty.
