Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 285 The imperial power must be locked in a cage
Liu Huaiwen's complexion immediately darkened.

Liu Huaiwen, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs have no doubts about what Zhu Jinsong said, that George III can be forced to cede Sri Lanka to Daming. After all, they can take the initiative to sell Tianzhu, and there will be another Sri Lanka next to Tianzhu It's really not a big deal.

As Zhu Jinsong said, it is easy to occupy Sri Lanka, the key is to get Sri Lanka into Da Ming's hands, which almost means that Da Ming will tear himself apart from England.

Although Da Ming didn't care much about England, let alone be afraid of those lobster soldiers, England was one of the five benevolent people of Xiao Poqiu. If Da Ming really touched England, the whole Europa might be wary.

Therefore, this problem went around and around, and finally it went back to the insufficient population of Daming—if Daming now has a population of [-] million, it would be no problem even if it wants to open a movie with the whole of Europa, the problem is that Daming doesn’t have that much Too many dings.

Liu Huaiwen was thinking that even if I, Liu, were to incarnate as Son-Send Guanyin and give all the married couples in Daming a child immediately, it would not be possible for Daming to have hundreds of thousands more young and strong immediately. It takes only one month to raise a child, but it takes more than ten years to raise a child.

If we start filming with the whole of Europa now, Daming will have no way to take advantage of it.

If you can't take advantage, isn't that a disadvantage?

Thinking of this, Liu Huaiwen's expression suddenly became even uglier.

Seeing that Liu Huaiwen stopped talking, Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "Actually, letting George III and Louis XVI go to recruit laborers from Tianzhu to open mines together is much better than Ming Dynasty recruiting laborers by ourselves."

Zeng Cheng picked it up curiously: "Please tell your Majesty?"

Zhu Jinsong's heart immediately felt a lot more comfortable—look, look, Mr. Zeng Cheng, Zengge, was a magistrate of the Qing Dynasty after all, and his ability to praise Shangguan was much better than Liu Huaiwen and others.

Zhu Jinsong said proudly: "They recruited the laborers, and they mined the copper mines with labor. Our Daming just bought some copper ore from them, so in the history books a hundred years later, our monarchs and ministers will not be punished." Are people scolding too much?"

Zeng Cheng and the other bigwigs were still a little confused.

Regarding Zhu Jinsong's statement now, Zeng Cheng thought of several statements almost instantly, such as the crow laughing at the pig's black, laughing at fifty steps and laughing at a hundred steps, deceiving oneself and others - Daming now employs fewer laborers, right? ?

You Emperor Zhu asked the historian to record it truthfully and not read it or revise it, so can the history books not record the situation of your old man using a lot of labor?Do you know what Song Yucheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is called in the folk?

Song labor!
It is said that the Ministry of Industry has used an unknown number of laborers over the years, and almost every large-scale construction site has a large number of laborer bones!
It's just that Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs still underestimated Zhu Jinsong's thick skin after all.

Seeing that the faces of Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs were very exciting, Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "Of course, we don't need to care too much about those false names. I believe that as long as we are thinking about the people of Ming Dynasty, the people will eventually be the ones who care about it." We will still remember our benefits."

"As for the mere infamy... Let me put it bluntly, where is there anything perfect in the history books? Of all the people who have left their names in history, one counts as one, and who doesn't have flowers in one hand and shit in the other?"

"Zulong unified the six kingdoms, built galloping roads, built the Great Wall, wrote the same books, and made cars on the same track. It can be said that he has made great achievements for thousands of years. Wouldn't he still be called cruel and inhumane?"

"Han Gaozu, kicking his wife and children under the car while running, has been ridiculed for more than 2000 years, right?"

"Tang Taizong is also known as the emperor of the world, and there are still changes in the Xuanwu Gate. Wei Heizi also smothered Li Er's bird. History books often make fun of Li Er with this matter."

"Let's not to mention Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of our Ming Dynasty. Just for the popularization of sociology, he can be regarded as the benefactor of almost all scholars in the world. In the end, there are still a large number of scholars who discredit him. What kind of bombards the Qinggong Building? , What steamed the goose to kill Xu Da, why purged the heroes for the sake of Zhu Yunqi's trash, and killed Lan Yu."

"There is also Emperor Taizong Wen, who punished Fang Xiaoru's ten clans and killed three thousand court ladies alive. How many of these are true?"

After being told by Zhu Jinsong, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs were immediately speechless.

It’s hard to say about the other emperors, but in terms of the imperial examination system, it actually started in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and flourished in the Song Dynasty. It was really fully rolled out, so that the children of those mud-legged families can also read books, so that ordinary people You can also change your destiny through reading. In fact, it was really formed in the Ming Dynasty, and it really benefited from Emperor Hongwu's spare no effort to promote sociology.

Of course, sociology was invented by the Yuan Dynasty. This is the achievement of the Yuan Dynasty, and it should be recognized.

As for the fact that Emperor Yonglewen punished Fang Xiaoru's ten clans and three thousand daughters who were killed alive, that's even more bullshit.

This matter is the same as Sima Guang's drooling description of Empress Changsun as a wise queen through the ages. The so-called killing of the ten clans was also made up by Zhu Zhishan in "Zhi Shan Ye Ji".

That's right, Zhu Zhishan, one of the so-called four great talents, has no intention of official career. "Four Parts of Yuguai", "Qianwenji", "Worry Talk", "Silkworm Clothes", "Floating Objects", etc., are all vulgar tastes. "Evaluated Zhu Zhishan's wild history of ghosts and monsters, saying that "there is no one in a hundred who is credible".

but!

What's the situation with everyone?
Zulong was hacked because he valued ink and despised Confucianism. You, the old man, did not clearly emphasize ink, nor did you clearly despise Confucianism, but you directly cut off the roots of Yan Shenggong, and kept shouting Clean up the door for the sage, and the Confucianism will black you out in the future, I'm afraid it will be worse than the black ancestor dragon!
It is true that Han Gaozu kicked his wife and children under the car, but it was a critical moment when he was running away. It is not a fatal critical moment when your old man is using labor, right?
And Tang Taizong, what did you say that suffocated Li Er's bird?Who in the history books took this matter as black Li Er?This is a good talk that proves that Li Er is good at remonstrating!Look at your old man, inspecting the censor, inspecting the censor, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, tsk tsk, those who stare at the common people, those who stare at the officials, those who stare at the Ming Dynasty, and those who are not at the Ming Dynasty. What are you doing, old man? We will no longer set up a West Factory and an Expert Factory!

As for Emperor Gao and Emperor Yonglewen of our Ming Dynasty... They have been hacked for more than 300 years, and most of them were fabricated out of nothing or simply forced to cheat, but what about you old man?

You don't need to make up any special information to blackmail, as long as you record all the bad things that your old man has done one after another, your old man will never be cleaned up!

There is also this saying that one hand is flowers and the other hand is shit...

After being silent for a while, Zeng Cheng decided to forcefully change the subject, lest Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, continue to say shit, pee, and the like.

"At present, our Ming Dynasty has implemented two five-year plans. The first five-year plan is better, but starting from the second five-year plan, there will be constant changes in the middle. Call for the third five-year plan It has only been implemented for a year, and it is about to undergo major changes again.”

Zeng Cheng rubbed his forehead, and said with a tangled face, "The key is the third five-year plan. The areas that need to be changed are greater than all the previous changes, especially the telegraph and copper mines."

"What I am more worried about now is, if the Royal Academy fiddles with the electric lights again, will His Majesty have to have electric lights spread all over Daming? If electric lights are to be laid, will the generator also be prepared..."

Zhu Jinsong asked: "What does Zeng Qing mean?"

Zeng Cheng looked at each other with Liu Huaiwen, Song Yucheng and other bigwigs, and then said after considering: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have discussed with Liu Butang, Song Butang and other colleagues, these new things , why not separate it from the five-year plan and set up corresponding projects separately?"

Zhu Jinsong bent his fingers and knocked on the table a few times before he said, "That's fine."

Naturally, Zhu Jinsong was not completely unaware of the problems Zeng Cheng mentioned.

Not to mention anything else, just the two projects of telegraph and electric light may take a large part of manpower and material resources from the original five-year plan.

And there are still a lot of messy problems in it.

For example, the telegram is naturally owned by the post station system, but the nature of the post station system itself is similar to that of the iron boss. Once it reaches a certain peak, it must be dismantled in advance, and the post station must not be allowed to grow into a post office. Boss chance.

Electric lights are almost the same, because with electric lights, the problems of power generation, transmission, and electricity consumption will be involved. If there is another electric power company in the future, will it still be linked to the Ministry of Industry?

If it is attached to the Ministry of Industry, among the six ministries of Ming Dynasty, it will almost become the largest existence of the Ministry of Industry. Except for the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Ministry of Households that holds the money bag, there is probably no other department that can compare with the Ministry of Industry. The power in the hands of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry will also become quite amazing.

In other words, if Daming continues to use the original six-part system, I am afraid that there will be a lot of messy problems later on. The founding emperor like Zhu Jinsong who is about to fight the country is naturally fine, but after Zhu Jinsong goes offline...

Imperial power is doomed to be locked in a cage.

As the saying goes, the ass determines the head. As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jinsong naturally hopes that Zhongyuan Tangkou can always lead the whole small broken ball. Issues between chief ministers and envoys.

As for how long the imperial family of Ming Dynasty can exist...

In all honesty, Zhu Xisong, who was far from the realm of a saint, naturally hoped to exist as long as possible.

And to achieve this goal, the best way is not to crazily restrict the power of ministers, let alone to win over and divide the court.

Although the [-] emperors and lords of the Qing Dynasty were very good at this method, the hidden dangers of this method are also obvious, that is, fighting each other and not using their strength in one place.

For example, the papermaker Li Zhongtang who has been frantically cleaned up recently.

Li Zhongtang was not incapable back then, and the Qing's naval strength was not considered weak in the Far East. Even during the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], the entire Japanese nation was betting on the country's fortune with a mentality of failure or benevolence.

And the failure of this war is precisely because of this.

The entire Wa country held the same idea, but the Qing Dynasty at that time did not have the idea of ​​uniting the whole country at all. The ministers in the court at that time even wished that Li Zhongtang would be unlucky.

Of course, some people in later generations want to crazily whitewash Li Zhongtang, not because of how unjust Li Zhongtang failed, but because bureaucrats and capitalists need an image spokesperson.

Who else is more suitable than Li Zhongtang, who saves Daqing [-] million taels of silver with just one bullet?
Those who want to whitewash Li Zhongtang, most of them are holding a bullet of [-] million taels of silver to talk about the matter. However, on the contrary, the combination of bureaucracy and buying half starts from Li Zhongtang, and through the middle The materials from China, Britain, Russia, Japan and other countries corroborate each other, which just proves the truth that Li Zhongtang accepted huge bribes from Russia and sold state power.

It can even be said unceremoniously that even if the rich, deaf and old dogs destroyed books first, it was not true that there was no hope for the Qing Dynasty at that time.

It's just that those who want to whitewash Li Zhongtang will of course not explain this point, they will only use all kinds of messy and specious evidence to prove how great Li Zhongtang is, and by the way, prove that it is correct to make it better than to buy it sex.

What happened next proved more and more that the brain is a good thing-a lot of brainless idiots on a certain sound were shouting "Junior XX, meet Mr. Zhongtang", but they didn't know that the ancestors of these people knew it, Will he come back to life forcefully, and then pack up and take away all these disdainful descendants.

Therefore, Zhu Jinsong never planned to engage in any kind of division and wooing in the court, and he didn't even plan to crazily limit the power of the ministers to strengthen the imperial power.

Zhu Jinsong's idea is to limit the imperial power first, because the existence of the imperial power is a threat to anyone - with the constitution of heaven in his mouth, the law is followed by his words, and the rise and fall will continue. This kind of almost unlimited power will make people Everyone except the emperor lacked a sense of security.

What should I do if I lack a sense of security?
Of course, kill the emperor and become the emperor himself, so that he will be safe.

The result is that there are those who want to rebel today, and those who want to rebel tomorrow. Ministers of civil and military affairs lack a sense of security, and the emperor also lacks a sense of security. Then there is a struggle between imperial power and ministerial power.

As for counting on the Sixth Division to limit imperial power...

There are no problems with this system at the design level, but there are a lot of problems at the implementation level.

If the emperor wants to force it, even if the six subjects want to refute the imperial decree, the emperor can still issue it in the name of the central decree, and it can still be carried out after it is issued.

Therefore, the most correct way to play is to limit the imperial power first.
