Chapter 1317 Cognition
Maybe even Chen Mu couldn't imagine it.

In his eyes, the people of the Celestial Dynasty who are gentle by nature, such as Ying Ming's talkative cavalry Xiaoqi, and Li Yuxi, a very common sea merchant, can easily change themselves into a colonial mentality in another piece of different land.

In Chen Mu's knowledge, this has never happened before. In Luzon and in the countries of Southeast Asia, there is indeed a distinction between high and low in treating those people, but it is just like the distinction between high and low in Ming Dynasty, everywhere There are rich and poor, tough and cowardly everywhere, but mostly normal.

The situation in Asia is complicated, but not that complicated. Most of the aborigines at the bottom are as clean as a piece of white paper. They are used to being slapped by the Spaniards, and they are grateful for a date.

Because the aborigines, regardless of the leader or the tribe, generally have no concept of country but only territorial consciousness, except for the Spanish legionary leader who sneaked into the Amazon jungle and the descendants of the Inca royal family.

As far as the Ming counties are concerned, even if they don't join, it will be difficult for them to turn to confrontation in the face of better tools.

Several county magistrates have also experienced strong winds and waves. They know everything and have seen everything.

The most important thing is that there is not much difference in thought.

But in England, France, or even Spain, it's different.

The environment is much more complicated. Spain needs each other and confronts each other, and the contradictions are difficult to intensify; France, which is in the midst of religious wars, is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river. In the hands of the royal family, the flames of war have been burning intermittently for decades, and it is time for people to settle down.

When living well is an extravagant hope, people don't ask for so much. There is a Baishan city for people's peace, and the sharp armor of the Ming army of Chen Jiujing's department will bring people an unparalleled sense of security.

England is another situation. This country is on the rise. Even if the people don’t have enough to eat, they still have a high level of national identity. Pick it up again, unless you starve forever, unless England can't possibly keep him full.

The Ming army and merchants here are another situation. People often say that if you get something too easily, you will not cherish it so much.

If everything obtained by Ming Dynasty is materialized, it may take more than 300 years to obtain Luzon from the idea of ​​Yuan Dynasty to Chen Mu's occupation of Manila.

It took several years of effort from the array of thousands of households in Xiangshan to the acquisition of Malacca, and it also took longer from the preparation of the Nanyang Guard Commander for the Eastern Expedition to the occupation of Changsheng and the signing of the Mexican Treaty.

Even the kingdom of Alan, the Ming army has not fully recovered after four years.

But Puli County?
Puli County consumes different energy and time for different people. For Taoist Cao, the county magistrate, it may be a month to cure the plague in the city; for Wang Jinzhong, it is a difficult time to stick to it for two months.

For Li Yuxi, it was the excitement of wandering for nearly a month.

For Commander Ying Ming, it was an afternoon of fighting in the camps under the city.

It only took one afternoon for him to beat the mighty army to the point where they were unable to fight back, and they collapsed on three sides and shook in all directions—it was all too simple.

There are such big differences between the two sides in terms of ideology, culture, military affairs, and economy. How can there be no conflicts in this small city?
This was reflected as early as the plague. Cao Changqing led people busy saving themselves and others, and the Protestant monks in the city were busy praying with letters. Later, when the epidemic became serious, they gave up on themselves, saying that the end of the world was coming, and firmly believed that The disease was brought from Spain. If the plague passes, the army must be organized to make them look good.

In the eyes of the people of Ming Dynasty, this is not a fool, what is it?
The difference in brain circuits is the most terrifying in international communication, because everything people see is wrong, so the thinking and decision-making they make are also wrong on top of each other.

For example, the natives of Puli City think that relationships don't work in Ming Dynasty.

The son of the tax collector in the city passed a chief Jia from Muye's old camp. This chief Jia was not even from the Ming Dynasty, but he could get in touch with the servant who arranged the general manager Song Yang to manage the neighborhood, so he stuffed a piece of beast through the middle of the nose. The bone-chilling Makino Jia sent an Ottoman tapestry, hoping that his father could regain his official position as a tax collector.

In his mind, an Ottoman tapestry was of extraordinary value, but Chief Jia not only returned the thing, but also looked down on him. After questioning the other Muye soldiers, he barely got an answer: Daming has Daming laws.

Is that actually the case?Yes and no.

For Chief Jia, Ottoman’s tapestry is not as good as his own North Asian rug. This thing is indeed of some value, but for Mu Yeying, who is about to be merged into the official rank of the Eastern Army, it is easy to get one. .

Not only did he have no need to bear the price of appointing barbarians against the will of the general, he was even unwilling to bear the price of telling the chief confidant about this matter, and the chief confidant would despise him: You are actually mixed with native barbarians.

Some people think that the sailors of the Ming Dynasty have a clear distinction between public and private, and they claim to be friends of the merchant soldiers. They inquire about some news for the merchant soldiers, and even if they send some food, they will receive money from the merchant soldiers. Sailors will say: friendship is friendship, and work is work.

To put it bluntly, all the Daming people in Puli County are getting cheap and being good. On the one hand, the Puli natives can be regarded as ruling the people. On the other hand, everyone thinks that they are bloodless and traitors to the Queen of England, and look down on them from the bottom of their hearts.

This is not about friendship as friendship and work as work, but seeing outsiders.

To put it bluntly, the army is defeated at one blow, and the economy is impoverished. This brings about no cultural background, and the people are filthy and disgusting, so that no matter what qualities this man himself has, from the Ming army to the caravan sailors, he has time to understand There are very few.

If you are an obedient citizen in the city, you are a traitor to the kingdom, and if you raise the flag to rebel, you are a noble barbarian. No matter what you choose or do, it is wrong.

Good-looking young women are the exception, or in other words, only good-looking and young women are women. Others should be called healthy women. A camp of healthy women should be organized to do heavy work in normal times.

what hope?The Beiyang Banner Army and officers were educated, but the merchant soldiers were uneducated ordinary people who came from the bottom of the sea, and there were even people from various countries in Southeast Asia who were proud of doing things for Ming Dynasty.

Their simplest cognition: Golden Retriever, Puli Ji, and Kunlun slaves are all playthings.

Under such circumstances, the peace in Puli County was undercurrents. The two commanders each led their fleets, one went west to help the Kingdom of Alan launch an attack on Dublin, and sent people to contact the Kingdom of Wales; The plundering caravan blocked the route.

Ying Ming was also busy in the city dispatching Mu Ye battalion soldiers to Leitou Township and other places to issue the latest government orders.

At this juncture, the contradictions finally intensified, and the first batch of rebels appeared in Puli County.

They won't be the last batch.
