Bury the Qing Dynasty

There is an old saying at the entrance of the Central Plains that only state officials are allowed to set fire, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. Emperor Zhu is probably like this-don’t look at Emperor Zhu, an old man who ordered the construction of Beijing and so on at every turn, but when he thinks of Lin Yu and Wang Zixuan, they kill and set fire. Emperor Zhu felt very distressed when he caught the laborers.

After scolding Wang Zixuan all over his head and face, Emperor Zhu asked again: "How are you doing overseas recently? Have you ever made any money?"

As soon as he mentioned making money, Wang Zixuan suddenly became energetic: "I made it, I made it, at our level of business, if I don't make one hundred and eighty thousand a year, I'm ashamed to go out to meet people! By the way, just now your old man said that Mu Kala Port belongs to our Daming?"

Emperor Zhu said angrily: "You don't even need to think about it! You don't need to fight wars, so don't make trouble for us!"

After being exposed by Emperor Zhu's wishful thinking, Wang Zixuan chuckled and said: "If you don't need it, you don't need it, why is it adding to the chaos?"

Emperor Zhu couldn't help but glared at Wang Zixuan, and then asked: "Is the people of Ming Dynasty doing well overseas?"

Hearing Emperor Zhu ask something serious, the look on Wang Zixuan's face also became serious: "Thanks to your old man, we Ming people can't be said to be walking sideways overseas, at least they can pass without worry, except for the last time in Benghazi. Apart from the barbarian's brain going crazy, which other barbarian country would dare not give us face?"

It was only three seconds before Wang Zixuan became serious again: "It's actually quite boring to say, those barbarians are too honest, especially after what happened in Benghazi last time, the barbarians are even more honest, big guy If I want to earn some military merit, there is nowhere to get it."

Emperor Zhu couldn't help but glared at Wang Zixuan again.

To say that these businessmen in Daming are really fucked up, they don't think about how to do business honestly, and they just think about how to go overseas to do things to earn military merits, it's really evil.

After thinking about it, Emperor Zhu simply grabbed the globe and changed the topic to New South Wales: "Have you seen this big island? There were some natives on the island at first, and then those Dutch barbarians and English barbarians discovered this big island." Island, here staking land, everyone has made a fortune."

Hearing that Emperor Zhu mentioned New South Wales alone, Wang Zixuan couldn't help but ask in his heart, "What do you mean, old man? We merchants from Ming Dynasty can also go there and rob those barbarians?"

After Emperor Zhu nodded to confirm, Wang Zixuan rubbed his hands with a smile, and asked flatteringly: "Well, I mean, if our merchants from Daming can snatch this big island, will we be able to do it later?" Is it counted as military merit? I don't want those rewards, I just want to be able to rank in front of my father when entering the ancestral hall."

Emperor Zhu snorted coldly and said, "You'd better grab it first—the Dutch barbarians and the English barbarians have been running this big island for many years, and you can't grab it by yourself."

Wang Zixuan shouted indignantly: "I can't snatch it by myself, why wouldn't I invite a few more people to snatch it together? You must know that our Ming merchants are not vegetarians overseas!"

Emperor Zhu curled his lips and asked, "How many people can you get to grab together with you? Let me tell you in advance that there are not only barbarians on the island, but also natives and a large number of poisonous snakes and beasts. Don't grab the island." Then fold yourself in."  …

When Emperor Zhu said this, Wang Zixuan became even more upset: "What are you talking about? I don't dare to say too much, but it's okay to bring a hundred or ten people with me, right? Each of these hundred and ten people will take their own With their buddies and the young and strong at home, no matter what, they can gather a thousand people."

"And there are no natives on that island? Don't we want to win over those natives and let them target those barbarians in Holland and England?"

"As for those poisonous snakes and beasts..."

Wang Zixuan curled his lips, and said with disdain on his face: "Eat what you can eat, use it as medicine if you can't eat it, feed the animals if it can't be used as medicine, or burn it as fertilizer if it doesn't work, we can still be suffocated to death by urine me?"

As the saying goes, it's better to be an aggressive general than to be a general. Seeing that Wang Zixuan had bitten the bait to death, Emperor Zhu also laughed with satisfaction.

Yes, this is in line with Zhongyuan Tangkou's consistent style of work - pulling a group to fight a group, using the natives to deal with the barbarians, which is very consistent with the art of war. Feed, or as fertilizer, this is in line with the principle of making the best use of everything.

Emperor Zhu smiled and warned: "If you want to rob land, you will rob land. The premise is to protect your own safety. If you really can't beat those savages, don't fight hard. If you can't, just go to Jiugang and Lanfang. ——We know that you are not afraid of death, but you also have to think about the old and young at home, and you can't rush forward and do it recklessly."

Hearing what Emperor Zhu said, Wang Zixuan's heart suddenly became warm.

People who can go to sea and make a career in these years don't say they have [-] minds, at least they can't be fools. Of course, Wang Zixuan also knew that Emperor Zhu was trying to provoke him just now, so he directly threw Emperor Zhu out. Swallowing the bait with the hook, on the one hand, is to gain military merits, and on the other hand, apart from the trust in Emperor Zhu, there is also resentment towards Emperor Zhu-I think it was Emperor Zhu who stopped him from becoming a soldier , now that he has such an opportunity, he must slap Emperor Zhu in the face!

But after hearing what Emperor Zhu told him to think about the old and young at home, Wang Zixuan instantly felt that the familiar Brother Jinsong had returned.

Wang Zixuan's eyes turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Understood, there are no idiots in our Daming merchants, and we still know the truth of running away if we can't beat them."

While talking, Wang Zixuan became excited again: "I just calculated, even if we can pull out 3000 people this time, that's enough for a regiment of troops, anyway, they are all trained, as long as they are fully equipped, they will be good." My soldiers, let's have a group seat addiction!"

Emperor Zhu's face darkened immediately, and he slapped Wang Zixuan directly on the back of the head: "Why don't you recruit 1 people, and then become addicted to being a master? I'll let you go to New South Wales to fish for dog money." Money grabbing land and recruiting labor is not for you to go there to stand on your own hills, why, you still want to wait for our Daming army to go over and wipe you out?"

……

After Wang Zixuan left, Zhu Jianying asked tentatively: "Your old man is planning to take New South Wales directly, and stop using New South Wales to persecute England?"

Emperor Zhu nodded with a smile, and said, "If we hadn't seen your Uncle Er Yatou today, I wouldn't have thought about it."…

Zhu Jianying was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Why does this matter have anything to do with Uncle Er Yatou?"

Emperor Zhu shook his head with a smile, and suddenly asked inexplicably: "Then let me ask you, what happened to the prosperous times and the disasters of subjugation in all dynasties and dynasties in history?"

Being asked by Emperor Zhu, Zhu Jianying was even more confused.

Ever since Emperor Zhu established social studies, county schools, and prefectural schools, there have been more and more scholars in Ming Dynasty. Later, some newspaper controls were gradually liberalized, allowing scholars to contribute articles to newspapers. Slowly, this newspaper The content on the Internet is becoming more and more varied.

Similar to the reasons for the prosperity and subjugation of the past dynasties, it is a hot topic in the newspapers.

The hotter the topic, the more people will participate, and the more people will participate, the more results will be discussed.

Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, there are at least dozens of theories about the reasons for the prosperity and subjugation of the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the most widely circulated and accepted by most people is that every dynasty change is caused by war. This caused a sharp drop in population, thus realizing the redistribution of land resources, and the cause of the country's subjugation was also because the land could no longer carry the huge population.

But this reason has something to do with your Emperor Zhu wanting to directly take over New South Wales now?
Let's talk about the redistribution of land resources.

It was actually very easy for the Ming Dynasty to overthrow the Qing Dynasty—as soon as Emperor Zhu raised the anti-flag and hit Jianyi a little bit, a lot of anti-kings appeared in all parts of the Qing Dynasty, and the military strength of the Qing Dynasty It's too hip-stretching, and coupled with the coups that Qian Deaf and Laogou and He Zhongtang came up with, they continue to help the anti-kings everywhere, so that Daqing is like an old ED for many years. The old military doctor didn't even give him a chance.

During this process, the green battalion soldiers of the Qing Dynasty surrendered as soon as they could, and went back to get the Jianyi's salary after delivering the equipment. Many times, there was a sound of a cannon, and the green battalion soldiers on the opposite side dropped their weapons and armor directly. Run away.

This has nothing to do with loyalty or disloyalty, but a simple question of whether they are stupid or not - no matter how stupid those green battalion soldiers are, they also know that the Qing Dynasty has to rely on them to "eliminate" the so-called rebels everywhere, so they threw away their equipment and armor and ran away No problem, if you really foolishly wiped out all the rebels, you would be an idiot looking for his own death.

Flying birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits run away, and lackeys cook. This is not only the experience summed up by the ancestors of the Central Plains Tangkou, but also the experience summed up by these green battalion soldiers themselves.

The Green Camp Eight Banners who first helped the Qing Dynasty seize the country, their final treatment was far worse than the Manchurian Eight Banners built by others. They were called hardcore crops, and the Green Camp Eight Banners were not even raised by their stepmothers.

So, the green battalion soldiers are basically working without effort, and even hope that the anti-kings will win--if Jianyi wins, they have to continue to be slaves. If the anti-kings win, the green battalion soldiers will transform into the Han family people!
Faced with this kind of multiple-choice question that can't be wrong when making choices with the heel, of course the green battalion soldiers can't make mistakes.

As a result, many battles were fought, but those so-called battles were basically thunderous and rainy, or even no rain at all. …

It is precisely because of this that there was no sharp drop in population during the Ming Dynasty's overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, and it was even far worse than the casualties caused when Emperor Zhu killed other "Emperor Zhu" later.

Of course, this does not mean that Emperor Zhu suffered a lot of casualties when he killed the other rebels.

On the contrary, few of the soldiers under the other anti-kings really wanted to fight to the death - they were Han people with Emperor Zhu, and they were Han people with other anti-kings. Is it any difference who you mix with when you are a slave?

Besides, at that time, who didn't know that Emperor Zhu was powerful and treated well, and that it would be a matter of time to unify the world. Instead of taking advantage of this time to change camps early, they fought desperately, and died in vain if they didn't step on the horse in the end?

So there was a very mysterious situation: after killing the Qing Dynasty, there was no sharp decline in the number of people, and there was no sharp drop in the number of people when they ruled the world. Instead, because the peasant association directly ruled the village, a large number of hidden people The number of households was found out, and the number of Dingkou was inexplicably increased by several million.

During this process, the farmer's association's act of directly distributing fields to households is a redistribution of land resources.

But then again, judging from the amount of land that could be cultivated in the so-called 3 provinces of Han China at that time, it was actually far from enough to support a population of more than [-] million or close to [-] million.

The key to really solving the problem lies in the fact that Emperor Zhu began to vigorously promote the construction of water conservancy systems and industrialization from the time of Meng Lianggu.

The water conservancy system is rivers, ditches, and reservoirs. The existence of this whole system ensures the output of the land.

The construction of industrialization is the rise of a large number of workshops to divert a large number of people, greatly reducing the people's dependence on land.

It is precisely because the two routes run in parallel that Daming was able to use the limited land at that time to support Dingkou, which was far beyond the quota.

It was not until Bangzi was recovered, Liaodong and Nurgan were recovered, the grasslands were recovered, and pieces of homeland such as Lanfang, Jiugang, and Jiaozhi were recovered, that the situation of sparsely populated land gradually appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

Then here comes the question: If the prosperity and subjugation of the previous dynasties were all due to land resources, then Daming now has a vast land and sparse population, so there is no need to worry about the shortage of land resources, okay?

However, facing Zhu Jianying's question, Emperor Zhu laughed out loud, and while tapping his fingers on the table, he said slowly: "The prosperity of the past dynasties is certainly due to the redistribution of land resources, but you, including those Scholars who study this issue have overlooked one of the most important reasons."

"People's minds are settled."

"After one war after another, the people will start to look forward to a stable life, and the redistribution of land resources is enough to support the people who survive the wars, so a prosperous age will appear."

"In other words: the emperor doesn't need to be so wise and powerful, as long as they don't mess around, they can lead a world of great rule with a dog on the throne."

"And you're also ignoring the other attendant problem, which is fading aggressiveness."

"Let's not use others to give you an example, let's just say that Emperor Gao of the Great Ancestor—before he expelled Mengyuan from the north, was the Ming army particularly capable of fighting? After Mengyuan retreated to Mobei, the Ming army who left the fortress was Wouldn't it be no longer so good at fighting?"

"Because there was no threat at that time, the soldiers began to look forward to the warmth of their wives and children."

Zhu Jianying nodded, and then asked curiously: "But, what does this have to do with New South Wales?"

Emperor Zhu chuckled and said, "Relationship? It's a big relationship!"
