Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 896, the present Daming
The situation in the capital has become somewhat turbulent because of Emperor Hongzhi's health, but everything is still under control. Emperor Hongzhi's body can still support himself, and it's not that he will fail all of a sudden. He is just recuperating and preparing for the operation in three months. .

Secondly, Emperor Hongzhi has only one son. Even if the throne changes, there will be no turmoil. What's more, Emperor Hongzhi has summoned important ministers in advance to explain the relevant affairs clearly.

The turmoil is just everyone's worry about Emperor Hongzhi's health.

Emperor Hongzhi was a good emperor. He loved the people like a son, won the hearts of the people, was very kind, magnanimous, and was kind to his subjects and even his enemies.

Everyone likes such an emperor.

But what really made everyone recognize Emperor Hongzhi was that Emperor Hongzhi led Ming Dynasty gradually to the road of capitalism and colonialism in recent years.

With the development of colonization and capitalism, Ming Dynasty ushered in an unprecedented good time.

Overseas wealth continuously flowed into Daming, making Daming rich at least from top to bottom; the development of capitalism also allowed Daming to gradually develop its productivity and material wealth.

Coupled with persistent immigration, a large number of people were relocated overseas, outside the customs and other places, which greatly reduced the pressure and burden on the traditional and spiritual areas of the Ming Dynasty, and promoted the promotion of high-yield crops overseas.

The common people of the entire Ming Dynasty were finally able to eat enough.

The people at the bottom can eat enough, and if they are willing to move out, they will be able to become rich quickly in just one or two years.

Landlords, gentry, bureaucrats, nobles, etc. are also well fed through investment in factories, workshops, overseas trade, etc., and their wealth expands rapidly.

It can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty has enjoyed the fruits of the colonial era and the capitalist era, making Ming Dynasty enter the best era.

Secondly, in terms of foreign affairs, with the military reform and the promotion and popularization of the Ming Dynasty's compulsory military service system, the Ming Dynasty's military strength has become stronger and stronger, and it has been fighting abroad for several years.

Not only did not bring down Daming because of years of wars, but because of continuous foreign wars, they wiped out the barbarians in all directions that threatened Daming, obtained a lot of land and wealth from overseas, greatly expanded the influence of Daming, and expanded the influence of Daming people. living space.

In the past, it was limited to two capitals and thirteen provinces, and hundreds of millions of people were confined to such a small land. In Henan, Beizhili, Shaanxi, Anhui and other places, there were many people and little land, and the per capita cultivated land was even There are no three acres of land.

In the era without pesticides and fertilizers, close to this land, it is really impossible to support a family, not to mention being exploited by landlords, gentry, and the court. The days can be imagined, no matter how hard you work, no matter how hard you work. Can't eat enough.

It's different now. After successive foreign wars and colonization, Ming successfully acquired the Golden Continent, Australia, Southeast Asia, the entire Liaodong, the northern grasslands, restored the Western Regions, and seized the Hezhong area.

Daming's land area has suddenly increased dozens of times, and it has a lot of high-quality land. Not to mention the Golden Continent and Australia, it is too far away, and there are not many people immigrating there.

In the Liaodong area alone, due to the elimination of the threat of the Jurchen ministries, coupled with the stability of the grasslands in the west, the vast and fertile Liaodong area has been developed with the arrival of a large number of immigrants. In the [-]th year of Hongzhi alone, the grain produced in Liaodong Province is Enough to supply the entire northern area of ​​Ming Dynasty.

However, the potential of Liaodong Province has not been fully developed. This is just the beginning. As far as the north of Heilongjiang, there are still large, vast and fertile black land. There are still a lot of land that has not been cultivated in the developed areas. It can also reclaim ten times, dozens of times the fertile black land.

Except for Liaodong, the Ryukyu Islands and Nanyang provinces are all very fertile areas with abundant rain and heat. They are very suitable for growing rice and sugar cane. The arrival of a large number of plantations and immigrants also allows the continuous import of food from these places to Daming , so that the price of food in Daming dropped again and again.

Official immigration has been going on, and the scale of non-governmental spontaneous immigration is also increasing. A large number of people have begun to go overseas to live a simpler and more relaxed life.

This is Daming now.

Internally prosperous and prosperous, internal conflicts are gradually easing, becoming smaller and smaller, externally it is extremely strong, fighting all powerful enemies in the southeast, northwest, and still expanding externally, acquiring more land and living space.

All of this is accompanied by the propaganda of the Ming Dynasty Morning Post, which has spread to every corner of Daming. Now, even in the remote Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan regions, the Ming Morning Post is regularly sent here, bringing all kinds of information, so that everyone can know the current Daming. , under the rule of Emperor Hongzhi, it has become extremely powerful.

For such an emperor, everyone in Daming loves him very much.

The common people naturally hope that Emperor Hongzhi can live longer, so that everyone's good life can continue.

As for bureaucrats, nobles, landlords, gentry, businessmen, emerging capitalists, etc., they also hope that Emperor Hongzhi can live longer. In such a good era, they have just tasted the sweetness, so naturally they hope that it can last forever.

So when the news came out that Emperor Hongzhi was suffering from intestinal carbuncle, the common people in the entire Beijing and Tianjin area became worried. This good day has just begun. How can it not be worrying that Emperor Hongzhi has such a disease? .

Fortunately, the Ming Morning Post reported it in detail in a timely manner. Intestinal carbuncle is a minor disease. Emperor Hongzhi can cure the rotten intestinal carbuncle through surgery, so you don't have to worry.

Now the Son of Heaven has handed over state affairs to the Crown Prince and the princes in the court. He is taking care of his body with peace of mind and preparing for surgery. He will definitely be cured when the time comes, so you don't have to worry.

Through such publicity, the common people in the Beijing-Tianjin area felt at ease, but many people still had Emperor Hongzhi's Longevity Card in their homes, and many old people prayed for Emperor Hongzhi every day.

Such a good emperor, everyone hopes that he can live a long life.

Wen can be compared to Tang Zong and Song Zu, and Wu can be compared to Qin Huang and Han Wu. Internally, the common people can live a life without worrying about food and clothing, and external victories have not only greatly enhanced the national self-confidence and pride of the Ming people.

People in Daming now hold their heads high when they are outside, and when they look at people from other countries, they always have a condescending attitude and eyes.

This punching of the Japanese country in the east not only wiped out the Japanese pirates, but also made the Japanese country obediently submit to Daming and became a vassal state of Ming Dynasty; kicked the Nanyang countries in the south, continuously sweeping from north to south, destroying more than a dozen countries This country rubbed against the most powerful Siam in the Nanyang region on the ground and signed an alliance under the city.

Sweeping the grasslands and Jurchens in the north, they killed all the Jurchens and drove them to the colder regions in the north. The grassland people were grazing cattle, sheep and horses for the Ming Dynasty; The tribes and the khanate seized the middle of the river.

It can be said that these neighbors around Daming were almost all taught a lesson severely by Daming, even as far away as the east coast of Golden Island.

Tian Erniu also teamed up with the Spaniards to sweep up the strongholds of European countries on the east coast, bringing the entire Golden Continent into the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Here in the Indian Ocean, it was only a feudal lord of Ming Dynasty. King Ning's fleet swept up the Portuguese, seized the Portuguese colony, and cut off Portugal's claws into the Indian Ocean.

All this shows how powerful Daming is at this moment, and the people of Daming have the capital of pride and self-confidence.

Victory in foreign wars is the thing that can most enhance the self-confidence of a country and a nation.

Daming people are very confident, and now they are naturally more confident.

Not only in the military, but also in many fields such as science and technology, economy, culture, etc., Ming Dynasty is at the leading position on this planet in this era.

The Ming Dynasty not only exported industrial products, but cloth, sugar, steel products, glass products, etc. were continuously shipped to the West, and even to Europe, and sold all over the world.

Moreover, Ming Dynasty's traditional porcelain, tea, silk, etc. are also constantly selling overseas, in exchange for a steady stream of wealth to be imported into Daming.

All of these are the reasons why Daming people are confident.

Not only is the country strong, but more importantly, the people of Daming themselves are rich and wealthy. Growing up in such a country, they naturally have incomparable confidence and pride.

In the Beijing-Tianjin region, Ming beggars would not beg from foreigners; in the Western and Nanyang regions, the Ming people were superior. They were slave owners, plantation owners, crew members, and merchants. They had money themselves, and the Ming people behind them He is extremely powerful, and if he dares to attack the people of Ming Dynasty, he must be prepared to meet the army of Ming Dynasty.

In North Korea and Japan, the people of Daming were the guests of the local nobles. They were learning from Daming from top to bottom. Everyone changed their Chinese surnames, adopted Han people, and spoke Chinese. Even when they were outside, they naturally thought for themselves He is also a noble Daming man.

In Huangjinzhou, the people of Daming are the descendants of the Sun God, and they are the people of God. They, the descendants of the Shang Dynasty, are all sinners and have blasphemed the gods. They must make atonement for their sins. Only then can you become a noble Daming man.

This is why Daming people are confident and proud.

If it is the self-confidence and pride in the past, it is because of its own excellent culture and the long-term belief that places outside of Ming Dynasty are barren lands, and people outside of Ming Dynasty are satisfied with the concept.

Now, the people of Daming have really seen all parts of the world clearly. The places outside of Daming are not barren lands. They are also very rich, with gold, silver, and fertile land.

But people outside of Daming, they are still barbarians, no matter what aspect Da Ming has to crush these barbarians, this is the reason for the real self-confidence and pride now.
