Chapter 646: The Future of the Chinese Empire and the Mo Imperial Family
The news of the Great Revolution came earlier than the news that his nephew Mo Gongze was coming to the motherland. After all, Mo Zibu had been paying attention to it.

Before traveling through time, Mo Zibu only knew what the French Revolution was about and that Louis XVI and Antoinette were beheaded.

But in this time and space, Mo Zibu obtained first-hand information, which enabled him to clearly see how the Great Revolution gradually reached the wild and brutal level it later became.

Moreover, Mo Zibu also called his four sons over the age of twelve to review with them the various amazing actions of Louis XVI during the French Revolution.

Finally, the five of them, father and son, widened their eyes at the same time.

"Father, is this what a king of a fallen country looks like?" Asen looked as if his worldview had been severely impacted.

"Every step King Louis took was wrong. If he had made even one right, the situation wouldn't have reached this point.

It was so strange, as if an invisible hand was leading him, making him extremely obedient, step by step towards destruction.

Mo Zibu also felt this sense of horror, but he did not show it. Instead, he acted like an old father and said to his sons:
"It's rare to have such a vivid example right before your eyes. Think about it carefully and make sure you don't make these mistakes in the future."

"Father, what will happen to King Louis in the end? Will he still be alive?"

The fourth son of Nguyen Ngoc Xiu, who had just turned twelve and whose mother was Nguyen Ngoc Xiu from the Nguyen clan of Guangnan, Prince Azhe of Vientiane asked softly.

Mo Zibu shook his head. Even though he didn't know what happened in history, he understood that Louis XVI had basically no way out.

"It's difficult. Louis XVI has lost all means of self-preservation and has a stain on his reputation. Killing him would not only express the revolutionary attitude, but also have few aftereffects.

This is simply the best sacrifice for the revolution, using the blood of the corrupt emperor to sacrifice to the battle flag of the great revolution.

There is a high probability that King Louis will be beheaded by his subjects!"

Mo Zibu, after all, is a time traveler, and he has no good feelings towards feudal emperors.

It was just like when he saw the Thai royal family before he traveled through time, especially King Rama X, who looked nothing like a monarch, and his mentally retarded son, who was definitely not a benevolent monarch. They acted so high and mighty, and accepted the kneeling worship of their subjects with a clear conscience. Mo Zibu felt sad and wanted to slap the Thai king twice.

This is the result of the Republic's decades of education in reshaping human rights, and it has had a profound and subtle impact on Mo Zibu as a whole.

As a result, even though he is the emperor now that he has traveled through time, this deep-seated feeling of rejection still exists slightly.

So much so that Mo Zibu's children all know that not liking to study and liking luxury are not a problem for their father.

But if one acts like a royal, treats the people below like cattle and horses, and acts in a domineering manner, he will definitely be punished.

However, Mo Zibu was able to deal with this situation calmly, but his children certainly had not received this kind of education and could not remain calm.

So after hearing this, the four princes felt a chill on their backs and necks.

Mo Zibu took the opportunity to give them a preventive education.

Mo Zibu continued, “In ancient times, humans ate raw meat and drank blood, and nature was like a god.

Only when human beings work together as one can they survive against the ravages of nature, such as wind, rain, fire, thunder, wolves, tigers and leopards.

Therefore, people were not clearly divided at that time. Kings were elected by the people. They were benevolent and wise, heroic and courageous. The system of abdication was also implemented to ensure that the king had enough ability to lead everyone forward.

By the time of the Xia and Shang dynasties, productivity had developed further. It was no longer necessary for everyone to unite to survive. People could also smelt bronze and domesticate cattle and horses, resulting in a surplus.

With the surplus, the different abilities of individuals gradually led to the gap between the rich and the poor, and the disparity in status, which gradually evolved into high and low status, and the family dynasty began.

However, since productivity was still insufficient, the people had to be confined to the land, their food, clothing and other expenses had to be reduced as much as possible, and they had to be exploited to support the country, the court and the nobles.

However, the family monarchy has lasted for thousands of years, and productivity has further developed.

For example, at that time, Dayu needed a large number of laborers to enter factories, and a large number of people to go to all corners of the country to colonize. Even women began to go out of their homes to work everywhere.

They have put in a lot of work and barely managed to get enough food and clothing, so it is inevitable that they will make further demands and ask to change their identity as slaves and common people that has lasted for thousands of years.

The emergence of factories gradually freed farmers from being bound to the land. They traveled across the country and saw new worlds. As time went by, it became increasingly difficult for farmers to become their kings.

After all, there are only a few people in this world who are willing to be lowly."

"Father, do you mean that such a world will come soon?" Arsen felt quite heavy-hearted after hearing this, and asked cautiously after a while.

"It won't come soon." Mo Zibu shook his head, "Because the people of China are not as obedient as those in Europe.

Thousands of years ago, they would sing "Big Rat, Big Rat, Don't Eat My Millet" while raising their hoes to hit the nobles on the heads.

Although the resistance is forced, once it happens, it will overturn everything like thunder and fire.

Similarly, the nobles had been defeated so many times that they knew how to restrain themselves.

This has led to the fact that our country's exploitation is far less than the French aristocracy's exploitation of the third estate. Most of the time, the Chinese people can still be considered half human beings.

So from my perspective as a father, China will not have any major problems in the next hundred years.

What will happen a hundred years from now will depend on you, me, and your future descendants, and how we position the royal family. It would be best if it is not the one who is in charge, but the one who is the referee.

This way, even if the people eventually refuse to let us be emperor, we can retire with dignity, and even leave behind ancestral temples in some small countries in Southeast Asia, North America, and Zhanzhou."

Mo Zibu's words were a bit crude, but there was some truth to them.

The situations in China and France are different. The Chinese people have already possessed 60% to 70% of what the French third estate demands.

Therefore, the French Revolution did not have a great impact on Dayu, which still had to coax its people to go out and colonize.

Historically, the reason why Qianlong was so afraid was actually because the system implemented by their bannermen in China was similar to that of France.

They are only slightly smarter than the French clergy and nobles, they cover it up a little better, and their exploitation is a little less, but in essence there is not much difference.

In addition, the French Revolution was still promoting racism, which hit the Qing Dynasty's sore spot more accurately, so Qianlong was so afraid.

A cough brought Mo Zibu back from his imagination.

It was 1789, and a hundred years later it was 1889, the th year of the Guangxu reign in history.

Mo Zibu estimated that by that time, although Dayu would be prosperous and prosperous, its family would be too big and would have all kinds of people.

Faced with this unprecedented empire, it was difficult for the emperor to control all aspects by relying solely on the glory of his ancestors and rules and regulations. As long as there were one or two generations of incompetent rulers, chaos would come.

The Crown Prince Asen, the second son and Prince of Lelang Asu, the third son and Prince of Dancheng Asu, and the fourth son and Prince of Wanxiang Ashe fell silent again after hearing their father's description.

Through the French Revolution, they truly realized for the first time that imperial power and its control over the country required a series of difficult reconciliations and bargaining games.

"Fourth Brother, now you know why I sealed you off to Vientiane. It may seem difficult now, but in the future, even if Dayu on Tangshan is gone, your Vientiane Kingdom will still be fine.

Although your descendants may not become extremely wealthy, as the population grows, being the king of three or four million people will be quite comfortable, with a stable position and a good income."

Mo Zibu really thought so, otherwise he would not have confined Ah Zhe to such a remote place.

The territory of the Kingdom of Vientiane was basically the same as that of Laos in later generations, except that it had one less area near the north of Yunnan and one more area near Thailand.

After Azhe was appointed as the governor of Vientiane, the throne under his butt became as stable as Mount Tai.

Because the Kingdom of Vientiane is destined to be a model of only tens of thousands of Han people and one or two million indigenous people (currently 400,000), with slow development and unique scenery.

Any native who wants to resist will face the conquest of the empire, and even after another two hundred years, there will probably be no change.

Azhe's descendants can indeed become kings from generation to generation.

Ah Zhe's eyes were red. It turned out that his father didn't dislike him and wanted to throw him into the wilderness.

"Asen, you have a much heavier burden on your shoulders. Just use the French Revolution as a mirror, and let us learn from each other, father and son."

"My son understands that he should not only study, but also organize people to conduct in-depth analysis, and finally compile a book to warn future generations." Asen has finally matured. As he is about to turn seventeen, he has fully demonstrated the abilities he has acquired through years of hard study and practice. To a certain extent, he can already share government affairs with Mo Zibu.

And all this was also what Mo Zibu requested.

Dayu is too big, and the term of office of Nanyang Prime Minister Zheng Miao will expire this year. He must be transferred back, otherwise it will be against the laws of the court.

Zheng Miao is also Zheng Xin's eldest son and has quite a few connections in Nanyang. Although his ability is only average, he has many people supporting him and will still become a powerful figure if he stays there for a long time.

But when Zheng Miao came back, the only suitable candidate was his eldest nephew Mo Gongbai, and Mo Gongbai's identity was even more sensitive, making it even more inappropriate for him to stay any longer.

So Mo Zibu now wants to train Asen as soon as possible and let him go to Nanyang to take charge.

"Your uncle wrote to say that he's going to Hami to close the loopholes in his headquarters, and that he can't handle the administration in Gansu. Would you be willing to go to Lanzhou to help him share the burden?"

Li Xianwen was still as cautious as ever, not greedy for power and not obsessed with power. He did want to go to Hami to take charge of the final operations, but he did not necessarily have to entrust Gansu's political affairs to a young man like Asen.

This is because Li Xianwen felt that he had stayed in Gansu for a long time, and everyone from top to bottom was his people. At the same time, in order to stop excessive greening, he must have done a lot of "dirty things" and there were a lot of people who hated him.

He was afraid that others would slander and arouse the emperor's suspicion, so he simply opened the door and let the crown prince and the Eastern Palace shogunate go in to take a good look.

"Your Majesty, I will listen to you. If you let me go, I will go." Asen was a little tempted. Which child who is almost an adult doesn't want to break away from the control of his parents and go out to have some fun? But he still couldn't hold back his joy and answered with a very versatile words.

Mo Zibu smiled faintly, "Then go, bring Wang Zhenyi with you, let her take care of your life, and visit the Northwest. If you get pregnant in a few months, you won't be able to go."

Mo Zibu was about to become a grandfather. Wang Zhenyi had entered the Eastern Palace two months ago. However, because Asen had not yet been canonized as the Crown Princess, she had no rank for the time being and was conventionally called a selected concubine.

Of course Asen was very willing to do so. The young man was addicted to the taste of things, and Wang Zhenyi was often running around because of the steam engine and train projects, so they had very little time to spend together. Now that he had this opportunity, it was simply the best thing for him.

"But after you arrive in Gansu, you must observe more, ask more, and interfere less. You must learn to handle government affairs, but express less of your own opinions. If you have anything to say, think carefully before you say it."

Mo Zibu patted Asen's shoulder and said, "You need to be mentally prepared for some things and don't get too excited about anything you see."

This can also be considered as a psychological preparation. Gansu Province has gathered heavyweights such as Zheng Xin, a crazy religious believer, Dong Jinfeng, the general of the Han Dynasty, Lai Junchen who resurrected Deng Chenchang, and Li Linfu and Wu Wenchu of the contemporary era.

Then there is the mysterious wind of the Sufi sect that has been blowing from Uzbekistan for hundreds of years, and the large number of Muslim sects and stars derived from this trend.

Each of these guys has the ability to break through the lower limits of human beings, and each one is more powerful than the other. Compared with them, Qi Lin'er, the great leader of the White Lotus Sect in history, looks handsome.

After being swept by these people and after eight years of war, Mo Zibu was very curious about what Gansu is like now. If he didn't lay a good foundation for young people like Asen, he probably wouldn't be able to bear it.

Asen went down thoughtfully. As the crown prince, he already had his own team of staff in the East Palace, so he had to go down and make arrangements.

Mo Zibu looked at his back, his mind full of thoughts.

The new era has truly arrived. He has brought with him too many variables, and the advantage of the time traveler who knows three hundred years later is rapidly decreasing. Now he can only rely more and more on limited judgment to grope for the future.

I heard that my third brother Mo Zirong's only legitimate son, Mo Gongze, is also quite famous for his virtue. I don't know if it's true. If it's true as the rumor says, then he must be well educated.

Whether China can influence Europe or even participate in Europe in the future depends on this guy.

. . . .

Just as Crown Prince Asen went to Gansu to see the most brutal area in Dayu.

Mo Gongze, the son of Mo Zirong, came eastward with his brother, sister and a large group to see whether his parents' country was as prosperous and powerful as the legend said.

North of the Greater Khingan Range.

To be precise, the battle in the Eastern Xianbei Glacier Mountains (Eastern Siberian Mountains) was finally coming to an end.

This was an extremely difficult battle. The city of Yakutsk was built on the high ground beside the Lena River, surrounded by glacial swamps soaked by the Lena River. There was only a slightly warm period of more than four months each year, and definitely less than five months.

Once the warm period is over and winter comes, humans can only stay indoors and are completely unable to fight against nature.

Yakutsk is known to be the lowest place on earth where humans live. The average monthly temperature in December and January can reach around minus 40 degrees Celsius, and there have even been several terrifying records of minus 70 degrees Celsius.

In a place like this, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to spend a winter outside the city.

No, it shouldn't be called difficult, it should be called seeking death.

However, Fukangan resisted. The bannermen who followed him almost treated themselves as dead, and the samurai from Japan did not treat themselves as human beings either.

Even many natives from various tribes in the Eastern Xianbei Ice Field were gritting their teeth and struggling to hold on.

Because they hated the Russians so much, and they were also afraid that they would not be able to capture Yakutsk this time. After the Han army of the Dayu Dynasty retreated south, they would face cruel revenge from the Russians.

The unwavering will of these people to achieve their goals successfully undermined the confidence of the Russians north of Yakutsk.

Before Fukangan arrived, although the Russians in Yakutsk received the news that the entire army in Xinwan Town was annihilated, they were not completely desperate.

Because of the solidity of Yakutsk and its terrible weather, it can wear down any enemy.

The average monthly temperature is above zero degrees Celsius for five, six, seven, eight, and nine days each year, less than 140 days, which can support large-scale combat. After September, the army must withdraw.

It was already September when the Khitan army arrived outside the city. No one thought that the Khitans could capture Yakutsk within 30 days at most.

In fact, Fukangan did not do it.

He only had a few eighteen-pound mortars and less than twenty days. In addition to the difficult natural conditions, there were more than four thousand people in Yakutsk, and he could spare nearly a thousand people to defend the city, leaving almost no loopholes.

Therefore, after Fukangan arrived, the attack was just a pretense, and the entire army immediately began to build a camp in a valley that had long been scouted by local natives.

The fine steel tools produced by Foshan Dashunfa Hardware Factory dug through the permafrost that the natives and the Rakshasas could not dig through.

The high-grade cement produced by Shenyang Fuxing Cement Plant and developed by Beijing Taixue Danhua Institute was used to quickly build a courtyard wall to block wind and snow.

The whaling fleet of the Edo Grand Duchy brought in large quantities of refined whale oil, providing sufficient heating.

The fine cotton cloth produced by Suzhou Zhiyun Textile Factory and the cotton from northern Zhili greatly enhanced the warmth-keeping ability of cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

The refined rice produced in Silla, Fuso and Asahi, the steam-milled flour produced in Weihaiwei, Shandong Province, and the high-quality white sugar from Southeast Asia provided sufficient calories.

What is industrial advantage? This is industrial advantage!
With the reinforcement of the Dayu Dynasty's full mobilization of supplies, Fukangan's 4,000 men survived the terrible winter in Yakutsk, with only more than 500 people freezing to death or suffering frostbite and unable to fight.

Therefore, when the ice and snow melted in mid-May of the following year, the Russians in the city, who thought that the Khitans had already withdrawn, suddenly saw thousands of troops with high morale and uniform clothing, and their psychological defenses immediately collapsed.

They fought with all their might until mid-July, but they simply couldn't fight any longer.

The city of Yakutsk was captured by the army, and Fukangan issued a cruel order that no one should be spared except for the young women.

The entire city of Yakutsk was cleaned out from top to bottom. After clearing out all the Russians in the surrounding area, Fukangan ordered Hu Kejing'a to lead a hundred bannermen and relocate more than 2,600 people from three Evenki tribes to garrison here.

At the same time, Wu Xing personally commanded the army to attack northward, occupying the Russian settlements of all sizes around the Sea of Okhotsk and the Kamchatka Peninsula, directly uprooting the Russian foundation.

After receiving the news that Yakutsk and Okhotsk had been captured, Chen Guangyao immediately led an army of 20,000, boarded a large number of steam inland ships, and went up the Heilongjiang River to besiege Nerchinsk.

On September 20, before the arrival of the heavy snowstorm in Outer Northeast China, Chen Guangyao captured the city of Nerchinsk with fifteen times the number of troops and relying on endless supplies from steamships.

After suffering a fatal blow, the Russians hastily evacuated from other settlements and retreated to their last stronghold on the Eastern Xianbei Ice Field, near Lake Baikal.

But their efforts were doomed to be in vain. Mo Zibu, who had just sent his son to Gansu, did not even go back to Nanjing for the winter, but stayed in Beijing waiting for the Chengde Conference to be held the following year.

Humph, you want to defend Lake Baikal? How is that possible? That is the North Sea where Su Wu grazed sheep. I will recruit all the Mongols from both north and south of the desert and surround you to death.

Moreover, the Sharo Empire is now busy fighting the Sixth Russo-Turkish War. Not to mention that they do not have the ability to transfer troops to the East on a large scale, even if they did, they could not do so.

Once these Shala nails in the East are pulled out, the three Central Asian Khanates that Mozibu deeply hates will be in big trouble.
