After briefly talking about the impact of the Industrial Revolution and the First Social Revolution, the history teacher paused and said to the students: "Now turn the textbook to Chapter 3, Section 7."
In fact, according to the plan of the person who compiled the textbook, the changes in the feudal system were divided into two lessons. After talking about the four emperors Taizu, Zhaodi, Zhangdi and Ruidi, they only talked about the period from the beginning of the founding of the country to the first society.
Before the revolution. But the teachers all felt that it was more convenient to talk about the changes in the enfeoffment system together, so they all talked about the second section of Chapter 2 and the seventh section of Chapter 3 together. Anyway, as far as this Yingtianfu No. 7 Middle School is concerned
, the vast majority of students will preview before the start of school, and they are not worried that they will not be able to keep up.
"Foreign responses will be discussed in the next semester's lecture on world history. This class will only talk about vassal states. The first to resist were the vassal states on the Hanzhou continent. They announced the abolition of the original imperial federation. This is what the historians now think of the entire feudal system at that time.
The internal tariff rate of 5% will be greatly increased to 35%; at the same time, all vassal states in Hanzhou will establish a customs union and implement an internal tariff rate of 10%."
"Of course this caused dissatisfaction from the central government of the empire, but Hanzhou was too far away from the Central Plains, and the strength of the vassal states on the Hanzhou continent was not weak. The central government of the empire was unwilling to send troops to attack Hanzhou because it had almost no chance of winning, so it just made a public statement
, announced the expulsion of all vassal states on the Hanzhou continent from the status of Ming vassals, and also increased the tariffs on goods produced in these countries."
"But then, the northwest vassals also announced an increase in tax rates. Led by the Qin vassal, the seven northwest vassals including Dai Fan also formed a customs alliance. Facing the northwest vassals, the attitudes of the powerful and capitalists who controlled the central government of the empire were different from those of the northwest vassals.
The vassal states facing Hanzhou were different. After all, there was no insurmountable distance from the Central Plains to attack the northwest. They quickly passed a resolution to go to war with the vassal states in the northwest. One hundred thousand well-equipped Imperial Central Army troops were transported to Turpan by rail.
Attack Urumqi after formally submitting the notice of war."
"King Su (formerly King of Jin) who ruled Urumqi immediately asked Qin Fan, Dai Fan and other vassal kings for help. At that time, King Qin personally led a coalition of 70,000 troops from the five northwest vassal states to support Su Fan through Alashankou, and Dai Fan sent troops from Tianshan
Harassing Turpan, Yiwu and other places in the south, hoping to affect the logistics of the empire's central army."
"This war lasted on and off for decades. The specific process is in the "History Textbook Aid". Since it is not a test point, I will not go into details. After decades of war, both warring parties have become exhausted and unable to fight anymore.
.In fact, even if the vassal states in the northwest are united, their national strength is far inferior to that of the central empire, but they have the support of most of the countries. Even the Tianfang Sect countries that have feuded with the Qin vassal and have been entangled with each other for two hundred years also support the northwest.
The vassals. Their support enabled the Northwest Domain Alliance, which was fighting at home, to persevere in the war and not admit defeat."
"The reason why the countries of Fu and Tianfang support the northwest vassal kingdom is also very simple. Due to the enfeoffment of Emperor Zhao, Emperor Zhang and Emperor Rui around the world, the world's land except for the Moyega continent south of the Sahara Desert was divided into three parts.
Both were under the control of the Imperial Federation. The remaining land, one-tenth of the world's land, was located around the Arctic Circle and could not be developed at the time. Except for Spain, Portugal and England occupied a small amount in Southern Hanzhou and the Caribbean.
Land, the Fu country had no other gains from the great geographical discovery; the Tianfang country was even worse, they had nothing to gain."
"As I said before, after the Industrial Revolution, with the rapid development of productivity and changes in political and military systems, the gap in national power between big countries and small countries doubled. Because they missed the great geographical discovery, India was monopolized by the Ming Dynasty.
Fu and Tianfang countries cannot get sufficient markets, and their industrial development is slow."
"The land and resources they own may be equivalent to 40% of the Imperial Federation, but their combined national strength is not even one-fifth of the Imperial Federation. If the Imperial Federation is willing, it can completely destroy these countries. There was a joke at the time,
It is said that the reason why the central government of the Ming Empire did not destroy all the countries in the Fuyutianfang region was because many nobles liked the Ocean Horse and were worried that after these countries were destroyed and the Han people moved there, future generations would not have the Ocean Horse to ride on."
"Faced with such a large gap in national power, the Fu and Tianfang countries have always wanted to break up the Imperial Federation so that they can 'fairly compete' with various parts of the Imperial Federation, share the market, develop industry and promote trade. So when they found out that the Imperial Federation was likely to split
After that, I tried my best to turn 'possibility' into reality and support any vassal country that disobeys the orders of the central empire."
"These should have been told in the world history section, and I said too much. But I have always believed that starting from the Battle of Yiwu in the sixth year of Jianye, the history of the empire is actually closely related to other countries in the world, and until now
The land area of countries dominated by Han people in the world also accounts for about half of the world's total land area (excluding Antarctica). It can be said that the history of the Ming Dynasty is world history, and modern world history should not be separated at all. However, the compilation of textbooks
Some people compile textbooks like this, and it’s easy to get confused by mixing the content of world history together, so this is the only way to teach it.”
"This war ended in the 301st year of the Restoration Calendar, that is, 1668 AD. The Central Empire and the Alliance of Northwest Territories signed an armistice agreement in Kabul, Afghanistan, temporarily suspending the war. You must remember that it is a temporary suspension. In theory,
It’s not over yet. This is not a very important test point, but multiple-choice questions are sometimes taken.”
"The signing of the Kabul Armistice Agreement greatly reduced the authority of the imperial center. Seeing this, the originally submissive Nanyang vassal states also resisted the exploitation of the imperial center. Although these countries are too close to the Central Plains, they are also very close to the Tianfang countries.
It is difficult to provide assistance, so it is easy to be suppressed by the imperial center, but it also makes the imperial center further lose blood and weaken. At the same time, the powerful and the capitalists are not satisfied with the reduction in their income due to the reduction of the market and the need to spend money to quell the rebellion. The powerful and the capitalists plunder each other's wealth.
At the same time, they have also increased their oppression of the people of the Central Plains, causing domestic conflicts to increase day by day."
"Domestic contradictions, the contradiction between the central government and the vassal states, and the contradiction between the powerful and the capitalists, all of this eventually led to the second social revolution. The second social revolution is the history of the Ming Dynasty and a very important event in the history of the world; it not only
It was the revolution of the Ming Dynasty, but it was a revolution that spread all over the world and had an extremely huge impact on all countries in the world. Therefore, the content of the second social revolution is the focus of the entire middle school history, accounting for at least 10% of the exam each year.
Points. However, this part of the content will be discussed in the next chapter and will not be covered in this lesson.”
When the history teacher said this on the stage, Yun suddenly felt that something was wrong with his deskmate. He glanced sideways and found that his whole body was shaking. Yun then looked at other classmates with noble backgrounds and found that they were talking when the teacher mentioned "
The words "Second Social Revolution" didn't even look good on my face. I couldn't help but think to myself: "The influence of the Second Social Revolution is so great? It seems that today at noon we should take a good look at what the Second Social Revolution is."
Such a revolution.'
"The second social revolution caused chaos in the Central Plains and Southeast Asia, and the country completely lost order. India also took the opportunity to break away from the empire and become independent. In this chaos, many vassal kings in Southeast Asia who had stabilized the domestic situation thought that an opportunity had come. At this time, Nanyang
The national assimilation of the country has been basically completed, and there will no longer be a situation where the country will be divided once it rebels against the vassal, and it is now capable of sending troops to the Central Plains."
"The first to send troops was the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was located on Luzon Island, very close to the Central Plains, with a large number of Han people and rich resources. It was the strongest among the Nanyang vassals at that time. The then Song Zong Wang Zhu Chang first used it in the name of countering the rebellion.
He sent troops to the Central Plains, and then... then occupied the capital, forcing Emperor Zhuang to give up the throne to him and proclaim himself emperor."
"But Zhu Chang failed to stabilize the situation. Before he forced Emperor Zhuang to abdicate, because the imperial line had been passed down smoothly for more than three hundred years, people believed that the emperor was unshakable, undisobedient, and untouchable, except for radical rebels.
Most people really regarded the emperor as the emperor. Zhu Chang's actions broke the myth surrounding the emperor and made the situation in the empire completely out of control."
"After that, Su Fan..., Yue Fan..., Pu Fan..., Min Fan..., rebels..., fought in the Central Plains. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the independence of the Northwest vassal alliance and the Hanzhou vassal alliance
To further improve, Fu and Tianfang countries will seize the opportunity to develop rapidly."
"After decades of melee, the person who finally cleaned up the mess appeared. He was Zhang Ziqian, the hereditary Duke of Xuan, who was posthumously named the Prince of Nanyanyi County. Zhang Ziqian was the daughter of Princess Kang of Huainan and Duke Zhongxiang of Xuan.
Zhang Wuji's descendants inherited the position of Duke Xuan from generation to generation. In order to pacify Mongolia, Emperor Zhao appointed Zhongxiang Gong of Xuan Guo as the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Mansion and concurrently as the magistrate of Beiping. Later, the Duke of Xuan Guo held these two official positions for generations. After the first social revolution
When Emperor Ping came to power, these two official positions of the Xuanguo family were revoked, but the Xuanguo family was still the top nobleman of the Ming Dynasty and had huge influence in Xuanfu and Beiping."
"When the second social revolution was in chaos, in order to protect themselves, the Xuanguo family took the military power in Peiping and Xuanfu into their hands, and gradually controlled the four provinces of Hebei, Shanxi, Rehe, and Chahar, as well as
At that time, Mongolia was still a nominally independent country.”
"Later, as the chaos intensified, and I saw the people's hardships with my own eyes, the achievements of the three hundred years since the establishment of the empire were ruined. However, the Fuyu Tianfang country took advantage of this time to develop rapidly, and the empire was about to fall behind the world. Zhang Ziqian, who succeeded Xuan Guogong, decided
To put an end to the rebellion and restore order, he first led his troops south to attack Shandong..., through this series of battles, he finally pacified the Central Plains and Nanyang, and restored the order of the imperial federation."
