Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1407, New Year's First Morning Morning

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the annual vacation is over, and the first day of official work, the entire capital is full of busy footsteps.

Although it is comfortable during the Chinese New Year and there is no need to go to work, it also costs a lot of money. After three hundred and fifty days of hard work, the Chinese New Year is over. After the Chinese New Year, naturally I am most motivated to go to work.

In the Jinluan Hall, Emperor Hongzhi also held the first early dynasty in the [-]st year of Hongzhi. According to the rules of previous years, it is necessary to send people to worship ancestors and heaven, etc., to pray for God and ancestors to bless the Ming Dynasty with good weather, prosperity and prosperity. Category.

Of course, because of the development of capitalism and colonialism, coupled with the growing territory of Ming Dynasty, there are also many vassal states, vassal states, colonies and so on.

Therefore, there are a lot of things to do in the morning court for the first time in this new year.

First of all, Emperor Hongzhi will deliver a New Year's speech.

Xiao Jing took out an imperial decree and began to read it aloud.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than [-] years, and the previous emperors have worked hard to make progress... I will succeed in the great rule, unwilling to slack off, work hard, and walk on thin ice... Thanks to the blessings of heaven and the blessings of my ancestors, and Only with the help of virtuous ministers and the unity of the ministers can the Ming Dynasty be at its peak today..."

Xiao Jing recited Datong according to the imperial decree, the meaning is very simple, that is, Emperor Hongzhi felt that he would inherit the throne, and he was afraid that he would be sorry for his ancestors, so he has always worked very hard and dared not slack off in the slightest.

Under the blessing of God and ancestors, with the assistance of wise ministers and the joint efforts and hard work of all the people of Ming Dynasty, the prosperity of Daming today has been achieved.

In the more popular language of later generations, it is to thank this and thank that. Anyway, the credit is all from God, ancestors, ministers, and ordinary people. Emperor Hongzhi did nothing, and he did not make any credit. He just worked harder. I am afraid that I will be sorry for the great trust of God, ancestors, and the people of Daming.

In the end, Emperor Hongzhi once again begged God and his ancestors to continue to bless Daming in this imperial decree that announced to the world. He hoped that the officials could continue to use their intelligence and wisdom to help him govern the country. The fine traditions of the Chinese nation carry forward the spirit of thrift and hard work, and continue to create a more glorious Ming Empire together.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers and others will definitely devote themselves to devotion and devotion until they die~"

Xiao Jing finished reading Emperor Hongzhi's New Year's speech, and all the ministers also shouted in unison.

After Emperor Hongzhi's New Year's greetings, Emperor Hongzhi will then accept the blessings of the tribes, vassal states, vassal states, colonies and overseas monarchs of the Ming Dynasty.

"The tribes of the grassland congratulate His Majesty the Emperor, and wish Daming prosperity and strength. As members of Daming, the tribes of the grassland will always remember His Majesty's grace, forever swear allegiance to the Son of Ming, and live in harmony with all tribes forever..."

The first ones who came up to offer blessings and loyalty were nobles from various tribes in the grassland. These nobles from all tribes in the grassland now basically live in the Beijing-Tianjin area. The tribe is more prosperous and prosperous.

"The tribes of the Western Regions, Hezhong, Nanyun, Southwest, and Nanyang congratulate His Majesty for the future, wish Daming prosperity and strength, swear to be loyal to the Son of Heaven forever, never forget the grace, and always remember that you are a subject of the Son of Heaven..."

Immediately after the tribes of the grassland, nobles and leaders from various tribes in various parts of the Ming Dynasty stepped forward to express their loyalty to Emperor Hongzhi on behalf of the various tribes in the Ming Dynasty, swore to die allegiance to the Son of Heaven, and kept in mind that they were subjects of the Son of Heaven. All ethnic groups live in harmony and harmony, etc.

"All the tribes in the grasslands, all the tribes in the Western Regions, all the divisions in the Southwest, and all the tribes in Nanyang, etc., are all my subjects and subjects of my Ming Dynasty. I have always treated them equally, never treated them differently, and never used any tactics of oppression. .”

"I hope that all the tribes of my Ming Dynasty will devote themselves to Ming Dynasty, live in harmony with other tribes, be proud of the subjects of Ming Dynasty, and do their part for the prosperity of Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Hongzhi accepted the blessings of the various tribes with a smile on his face. At the same time, he also hoped that the various tribes would get along well with each other and work together to build a beautiful Ming Empire.

Liu Jin listened carefully, and thought carefully in his mind.

The territory of the vast Ming Empire is too large, and there are also many tribes living in it.

Regarding dealing with the problems of various tribes, the policy of Liu Jin’s system has always been adopted. The core idea is to treat people equally. No matter which tribe you belong to, whether the tribe is strong or weak, as long as it is a tribe in the Ming Dynasty, it is the same. The subjects of the Son of Heaven.

You will not be asked to pay more taxes because you are not a Han Chinese, or intentionally bully you or something, all are treated equally. The taxes that Han people have to pay, all tribes also have to pay, and the protection and stability that Han people can enjoy, all tribes can also enjoy. .

In short, there is no distinction between each other or tribe, and they are all treated equally. Even in the imperial examination, all tribes are encouraged to actively participate and some preferential policies are given.

Of course, while treating everyone equally, it is also adhering to the Ming Dynasty policy.

Because Liu Jin knows very well that if there is no common language, culture and values ​​between each other, it is difficult to truly integrate into one body.

Therefore, whether it is in the grasslands, the Western Regions, or Nanyun, Nanyang and other places, the imperial court has strongly promoted the policy of Ming and Sinicization.

Changing Han surnames to Han names, promoting Han culture, in order to achieve and consolidate Ming's rule over various places, and to shape a common culture, language and values.

Under such a set of systems and policies, coupled with the fact that Ming Dynasty is very strong now, the benefits of the policy are gradually reflected.

The tribes live in harmony and harmony, and conflicts are handled by the local governments instead of using swords and arrows to rely on fists to speak. At the same time, the exchanges and contacts between the tribes are getting closer and closer, and the integration between the tribes is also getting closer. The deeper it went, the more powerful the Han culture began to emerge.

Many elites of various tribes who have received Han cultural education began to gradually forget about their original tribes, and emphasized that they are subjects of the Great Ming Dynasty and citizens of the powerful Ming Empire, and they are proud of it.

Especially many small tribes have been bullied all the time and have no sense of belonging and security, but since they became part of the Ming Empire and became the subjects of the Ming Dynasty, they no longer have to worry about being bullied and have a strong sense of belonging. With the empire as the backing, a feeling of powerful imperial people is naturally born.

This is most obvious among the tribes in Nanyun Province, the Western Regions, and Nanyang. Many young people in the new era do not have a strong sense of belonging to their original tribes, but instead emphasize the importance of their Ming people. identity.

There is even a theory of high and low bloodlines. This kind of saying says that the bloodline of the Ming people is the most noble, and then it is divided according to the degree of similarity to the Ming people.

This theory of high and low bloodlines originated from the many vassal states and colonies on the Tianzhu side. There are few Han people in these vassal states and colonies, and they want to rule a large number of indigenous people. Combined with the original caste system on the Tianzhu side, they created A whole set of new caste systems came out, among which the caste and lineage of the Ming people naturally ranked at the top.

Later, with newspaper reports, this new caste system also spread, and quickly gained the recognition of many people.

Like Koreans and Wa people, they feel that they look the most like Ming people, even without any difference, and they have been writing about Hanzi and learning Han culture since ancient times, so their blood and caste should also be the most Noble, there were even many big families who came to Ming Dynasty to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.

There are also Indians in the Golden Continent. They also think that they look very similar to the Ming people, and the Ming people have publicized that they are descendants of the Sun God just like the Ming people. ancestors, so their lineage is also the most noble.

In short, this set of things produced in Tianzhu has now been accepted by many people, and they take it for granted, and even have an extremely far-reaching impact.

Some things are like this, even if you know it is false, but when everyone says it is true, the false will become true.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin also laughed.

Although it seems a little bad, it can greatly enhance national self-confidence and pride, which is also very good.

Thinking about future generations, there are too many people who worship foreigners. In the eyes of some people, foreign shit is fragrant, and domestic flowers are smelly. It can be said that foreign worship has reached the extreme.

All the tribes expressed their loyalty and blessings to Emperor Hongzhi, and then came the vassal states of Ming Dynasty. The envoys sent by Korea, Japan, and Lusong also presented gifts and blessings to Emperor Hongzhi. He will closely follow the footsteps of the big brother of the Ming Empire, and will always be a big brother and a little brother.

Then came the overseas feudal states and colonies to send blessings to Emperor Hongzhi. Overseas feudal states and colonies blossomed everywhere. Although they are actually self-contained countries, they are still the territory under the Ming Empire in name. , the princes of the vassal states and the governors of the colonies are also the subjects of the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

After the vassal states and colonies offered their gifts and blessings, the envoys stationed in the Ming Empire from Spain, Persia, the Ottoman Empire, Siam and other countries that had established diplomatic relations with Ming Dynasty offered their blessings to Emperor Hongzhi. .

The entire morning of the eighth day of the early court passed like this. Of course, after the early court, Emperor Hongzhi, as usual, called important ministers to the Shangshufang for a small meeting to discuss the state affairs of the new year.

　What do you think of the policies in the book for the various tribes?
