Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 278 Daming's Pig, Daming Can Kill, Others Can't!
Looking in the direction of Ke Zhiming's finger, you can see a fleet of twenty warships appearing far away on the sea. After getting closer, Louis XVI and George III saw those The flag with Ming characters hung on the battleship.

"It's so arrogant!"

This was the common thought in the hearts of Louis XVI and George III.

In terms of twenty warships, France and England are not without it. The key is that the flagship where Emperor Ming is located is followed by a fleet of thirty warships, and there are still twenty ships coming to welcome them.

Fifty warships can be assembled by England, and France can also be assembled. The key is that after fifty battleships are assembled, there is basically nothing left.

But Daming is different. Louis XVI and George III saw many warships of Ming Dynasty along the way, and knew that these twenty warships did not rush to the front to greet them, but they had already arrived in Tianzhu at some time. side waited.

This allowed Louis XVI and George III to fully understand what platooning is.

What Louis XVI and George III didn't expect was that after the appearance of the twenty warships with their gun windows closed, Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, directly displayed a semaphore to stop the ship for inspection—these gestures were completely inappropriate. The battleship in the fortification posture is obviously the fleet of your own country, but instead of going to express your condolences, you Emperor Ming asked the fleet to be inspected instead?What the hell is this shit?

However, the next scene completely overturned the cognition of Louis XVI and George III.

The twenty warships flying the Daming Dragon Flag really stopped neatly on the sea, and the "eunuch" who had been following Zhu Jinsong took some men and changed to small boats, and headed towards the twenty warships. drive away.

After the "eunuch" boarded the battleship, there were shocking cheers from the twenty battleships.

By this time, Louis XVI could no longer care about his century-old feud with George III.

The two looked at each other, and both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.

why?
Why didn't the Ming navy feel untrusted by their emperor?Why don't they feel humiliated by being checked by "eunuchs"?Why are they so obedient?

It’s better to be like Louis XVI. After all, from the very beginning, he wanted to become “the most steadfast ally” with Da Ming. He knew a little about Da Ming and knew that Da Ming’s army was very capable of fighting, but he never had any experience. Exactly how the Ming army can fight.

But George III was different.

The army of Ming Dynasty had a movie with the army of England in Tianzhu before, which really showed the arrogance of "I am the number one in the world" to the fullest. It seems that there is nothing on this little broken ball that can make them bow their heads The presence.

It was precisely because of this understanding that King George III couldn't figure out why these soldiers of the Ming Navy were so... well-behaved?
Besides being well-behaved, King George III really couldn't think of any other more suitable adjectives.

After the eunuch who had been with Zhu Jinsong returned to the flagship where Zhu Jinsong was, King George III tentatively asked, "I seem to have heard them cheering just now. I don't know what they were cheering for?"

Zhu Jinsong said with a smile: "They are cheering for my arrival. Originally, in the plan of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Geng Rui, the Governor of the Right Army, would come to take over the battle between Tianzhu and Ottoman, but now, I'm here."

George III continued to ask: "But, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. When you came here, you didn't inspect them yourself, but asked your attendants to inspect them. Aren't they dissatisfied?"

Zhang Dequan, who came back to Zhu Jinsong's side, lowered his eyebrows and said to himself, you are a savage, do you know what kind of Zhongyuan Tangkou?Do you know what the identity of our family is?
Zhu Jinsong laughed, and said: "According to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, wherever the emperor went, bows and crossbows would drop strings, guns and cannons would be unloaded, and in such a situation on the sea, unless it was absolutely necessary, If so, I can’t leave the flagship, and Dequan can only go to check for me.”

"Dequan is my close personal eunuch, and he is also the supervisor of ceremonies, Bingbi, and the supervisor of the East Factory. He went to inspect, but actually went on my behalf. These are also in accordance with the etiquette regulations of Ming Dynasty, so, Why are the soldiers dissatisfied?"

George III nodded half-understood, and then exchanged glances with Louis XVI, their eyes filled with envy.

No way, the situation on Europa is completely different from that on Daming’s side. On Daming’s side, everything is respected by the emperor, but on Europa’s side, the lords and nobles, big and small, don’t seem to take the royal family very seriously. The thing is, it's already a great face to be able to come to greet him, let alone accept the inspection.

Seeing that George III and Louis 16 had no doubts, Zhu Jinsong smiled and told Zhang Dequan, "Go to Hong Kong."

Zhang Dequan bowed in response, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty has an order to enter the port and review it!"

The dignified emperor of Ming Dynasty was traveling with two kings of Europa with him, so of course the necessary etiquette had to be arranged in place.

For example, the nine-nine-nine 81-gun salute must first be fired once, and the fleet officers and soldiers who came to greet them must also review it, and then read the imperial decree that canonize so-and-so as the Dragon King of the West Sea. Then comes the serious meal.

Of course, this meal was not the various beef feasts that Louis XVI and George III had been looking forward to all the way, but a palace banquet completely in accordance with Ming etiquette.

Prior to this, Louis XVI and George III had never had any banquets from the Ming Dynasty. They almost ate all the banquets in the folk, official circles, and even palace banquets.

It was just a banquet in the army, but it was the first time for the two of them to really see it.

First of all, this menu is different from those banquets I have eaten before.

Other banquets, whether they are palace banquets, official banquets or folk banquets, all have exquisite shapes and excellent tastes, while military banquets pay attention to large dishes and more meat dishes such as chicken and fish. It also included toasting, archery, wrestling and other programs, which really shocked Louis XVI and George III.

Zhu Jinsong didn't care how shocked Louis XVI and George III were, but he summoned Geng Rui after the banquet, and asked straight to the point: "How is the situation in Tianzhu now?"

Geng Rui clasped his hands in confusion and replied: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the situation in Tianzhu is really hard to describe—those barbarians in Tianzhu seem to care more about cattle than people."

"According to the information I have collected during this period, it is not a crime in Tianzhu to harm a woman, as long as you can marry the woman who was harmed afterwards, it is fine, but harming a cow or other livestock is a felony."

Zhu Jinsong hummed, and couldn't help secretly admiring the magic of the three buddies' brain circuits.

Although the laws of Husky in the middle school are already fucked up, it is not illegal to marry a woman after harming her, but the third brother seems to go a step further, completely shifting the care of people to the care of livestock .

It seems to be because what does livestock have to do with gods?

Geng Rui went on to say: "In addition to this point, there is another point that really confuses me."

Zhu Jinsong asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Geng Rui glanced at George III imperceptibly, and replied: "Your Majesty, I have fought a lot of battles before, including the previous Western Expedition to Gurkha, I have also seen the army of the Western Regions."

"But I never expected that these Indian barbarians did not raise their flags to rebel at all. Instead, they just sat around quietly and expressed their protest in silence."

Zhu Jinsong laughed, and said: "It's nothing surprising, after all, this is Tianzhu, and it's normal for any abnormal situation to occur—you can think about it, Wang Xuance can sweep away all the troubles with a bunch of son-in-law soldiers." The whole of Tianzhu, don't you know how useless they are?"

George III also interjected at the right time: "It's really nothing surprising. Those diaper heads have always been like this. As long as you recognize their monk status and give them privileges, they will help you get rid of other diaper heads."

"And it's hard to believe that all the diaper heads in Tianzhu respect those monks, and there are cows all over the street."

"They divided everyone into four levels, they bullied each other, they were very lazy, and they didn't have any other ideas other than a sit-in to protest."

Geng Rui nodded and said, "Yes, this is what I will report next."

"These Indian barbarians divided all people into four classes, namely Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas and Sudras."

"Among these four levels, Brahmins are monks, the first caste, and have the highest status; Kshatriyas are warriors, princes, nobles, etc., and they are the second caste. They can be officials or join the army, and they may also become princes, nobles, etc. Vaishya is a merchant, who belongs to the third caste, and can only do business in his life; while Sudra is a farmer, who is the fourth caste, with the lowest status, and can only farm or do some other physical work, or do some handicrafts manual labor."

"And besides this, there is another caste-excluded person, the 'untouchable' or 'untouchable', who take care to avoid other people even when walking, lest their shadows affect other people."

"In addition, these classes cannot intermarry with each other. If they intermarry, they will be regarded as pariahs, and there is no hope of turning over for the rest of their lives."

"And what I can't figure out the most is that Tianzhu seems to treat us Ming people as Kshatriyas of the second caste. Those Vaisyas, Sudras or untouchables will be very careful when dealing with Ming people, and those The Kshatriyas treat the common people of Ming Dynasty as equals, but the Brahmin monks always seem to want to intervene in the affairs of the common people of Ming Dynasty."

"As far as I know, there was a Ming businessman who wanted to take in two concubines after he came to Tianzhu. One of them was a Kshatriya aristocratic woman, and the other was a peasant girl from Sudra."

"If it wasn't for the English army who was here before to intervene in this matter, those Brahmin monks seem to have beaten the businessman as a pariah?"

When Geng Rui was talking about the caste issue in Tianzhu, the expression on Zhu Jinsong’s face remained unchanged, and there was even a playful smile at the corner of his mouth——Third brother, don’t be surprised if you do anything, after all, this is a A country that allows missiles to play Brownian motion.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that if you are targeted by the third brother's missile, you must stay where you are and don't move, because it is the safest to stay where you are, and you may be hit if you run around.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the third brother asked Maozi to buy a Kalashnikov, and Maozi turned to find a rabbit to pull a boat of five or six, and it also came with a Chinese manual. ...

Therefore, Zhu Jinsong felt that there was nothing strange about the third brother who had such a strange brain circuit.

But when Geng Rui mentioned that the Brahmins wanted to make the Ming businessman a pariah, the smile on the corner of Zhu Jinsong's mouth disappeared.

What is a merchant?
From the point of view of the traditional emperors in Tangkou of the Central Plains, merchants are the pigs raised by the state. When they are fattened up and lack money, they will pull a batch out and sprinkle them.

This can be regarded as a good tradition handed down from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

So, the pigs in my hall in the Central Plains can still be beaten into pariahs by you Tianzhu barbarians?

Zhu Jinsong laughed and said: "Louis XVI of France and George III of England came to the chief envoy of Tianzhu and wanted to taste the taste of local beef. I will pass on my order to have some of the superiors hunted down. Here comes the good cow."

George III tentatively persuaded: "Actually, there is no need. Really, the diaper head is really easy to manage. As long as you give them a little privilege for monks, and stipulate that the Ming people are Brahmins, they will become very honest. , the whole Tianzhu will be very stable.”

Louis XVI also persuaded: "After all, you want to occupy Tianzhu. If you do this, don't you want to force those diaper heads to rebel?"

Zhu Jinsong smiled and nodded, and said: "That's right, I just intend to force them to rise up and resist - they regard the people of Ming Dynasty as Kshatriyas, so what do they take me for? When I am the same as a Brahmin of?"

"Furthermore, for the common people of Ming Dynasty, I haven't classified them into any ranks, so how could it be their turn to determine the ranks of the common people of Ming Dynasty?"

"Da Ming's pig, Da Ming can kill it, but others can't!"

"You don't have to think about trying to persuade me anymore. I am here this time to completely solve Tianzhu's problem. It just so happens that there are still a few copper mines in Tianzhu that Daming needs, and there is also a shortage of some laborers. I feel that these Tianzhu Barbarian is very suitable."
