Chapter 57: Spanking You
Zihua Bookstore was sealed and "Science" was banned, although it was unexpected by Zhou Ming, it could not be said that he was not mentally prepared at all, and he was completely caught off guard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In fact, for this kind of change, as early as the beginning of the "Zihua Book House Phase II Plan", Zhou Ming prepared a number of response plans to prevent chaos.
And for more than ten years, Empress Wu Cao and Princess Changping silently acted as the umbrella of this plan, so the situations envisaged in the plan have not occurred.
It's just that Zhou Ming didn't expect that Emperor Li Wei, who has half of his own bloodline and knows that Zihua Bookstore is his father's property, is so ruthless, the butcher knife fell without hesitation, and he started quickly, leaving Zhou Ming with a very short reaction time.
"Li Wei, I am your biological father! I have also written to you many times, sponsoring you with tens of millions of gold and silver and a large number of firearms to help you conquer the Western Regions, I just hope that you will take care of my Zihua Library, and this is how you repay your father?"
Thinking of the help he had provided to this son, but in exchange for this kind of repayment, Zhou Ming felt angry.
But......
Since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless, this kid, even his mother can be locked up in the deep palace, and he has not seen the sun outside for many years, and his father has never seen him a few times, what about the pit?
In addition, the root cause of the book-burning incident was not Li Wei, but the holy way of science and education, and as soon as this set of ideas came out, it was extremely hated by countless Confucianists!
Confucianism is the direct driver of this incident!
Why is Confucianism, the nascent science and education, so hostile and so ruthless?
The main reason is that the two ideological doctrines are, in many respects, fundamentally different in nature, and can be said to be completely opposed.
What is the core idea of Confucianism?
It is humility and courtesy, kings and ministers, respect and orderliness, benevolence, righteousness and morality, repaying grievances with virtue, believing in the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature, and sitting and talking about the idealism that the thoughts of saints can change the world.
So, what about science and education?
It is the pursuit of knowledge from things, the search for truth in practice, the recognition that the productive forces determine social relations, and the realistic materialism that believes that material can determine thoughts.
Two thoughts, one virtual and one real, one static and one moving, both have many advantages, and it seems that they will be very perfect when combined, how can they become a pair of mortal enemies?
It turns out that the so-called Confucian ideology, which has developed for thousands of years, has long since turned the original benevolence and morality, sacrificing one's life for righteousness, into a virgin skin on its surface, and its core essence has long degenerated into cynicism that exists to cater to the ruling class.
The core of this kind of cynicism is the word "loyalty and filial piety", which requires the subjects to be loyal to the monarch and unconditionally obey the orders of the monarch...... By the way, I ask those mud-legged peasants on my manor to work for him to death and not resist!
However, the nascent science and education do not cater to any class, but only to the internal laws of all things, the laws of formulas.
Therefore, the science and education ists who believe in science and education, seeing that there are many factories in overseas countries, the productive forces are developing rapidly, and the living standards of the working class far surpass those peasants, they encourage industrialization to liberate those yeoman peasants who have lost their land due to land annexation; they advocate equality between men and women, freedom of marriage, and protection of women's basic rights and interests......
With regard to the feudal emperors and science and education ists, after seeing the various advantages embodied in the operation of the constitutional monarchy system of overseas civil countries, many science and education activists privately believe that a mediocre monarch in a society ruled by law is better than a wise emperor in a society ruled by man, and it is better to rule the world with the wisdom of one person than to rule the world with the wisdom of all people......
Of course, the science and education activists will not spread this kind of viewpoint that stimulates the nerves of the feudal emperors, and invite the catastrophe of "punishing the nine clans" at every turn.
Emperor Li Wei was not a fool, when he heard the recital of the ministers, his brain turned slightly, and he knew that that set of ideas was conducive to his own rule, and that set of ideas would bring endless disasters...... So he didn't hesitate to raise the butcher's knife and eradicate that scourge.
In order to eradicate it thoroughly, it is 100,000 heads, 100 million heads, and even 10 million heads, he will do it!
Because he wants to rule the world, he wants to be a greater emperor than the first emperor!
Therefore, no matter what kind of thought, no matter who it is, as long as he dares to stop in front of him, he will let it perish!
Even, even the so-called overseas literary country, this wild island country that rings in his ears all the time and gives people a great feeling, he will send troops to destroy it, so that only one voice in this world can be heard, praising his greatness!
Therefore, starting from the sixth year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Li Wei requisitioned millions of craftsmen and men to cut down giant trees and build sea ships; ordered the artifact supervisor to imitate a large number of muskets and artillery; and then sent a general who was proficient in water warfare to train the navy, and in three years, he built 1,000 warships and trained 500,000 navy, with advanced equipment and high morale!
In the ninth year of Tianyuan, on the fifth day of the ninth month, on the day of the expedition, this fleet covered the sky and the sun, mighty, with a boundless momentum that wanted to swallow the whole world!
Looking at this fleet, Li Wei, who called himself the "Emperor of the Beginning", was very confident, and he believed that this Eastern Expeditionary Fleet, which had spent all the gold and silver treasures he had earned from the countries in the extreme west during his expedition to the west, would not let him down, and would definitely be able to occupy all the gold, silver and copper islands of the overseas country, and he would definitely be able to plunder the overseas country, and slaughter all the tens of millions of people, and never suffer in the future!
As for his biological father, it is best to be captured alive, and if he cannot be captured, it is best to have him disappear forever and never appear again......
Zhou Ming, who had been holding a piece of information in his hand, had been standing still for the past few years, getting ready, and waiting for Li Wei to make the first move, after reading the information, he put the information in his hand aside, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Li Wei, Li Wei, it seems that you really lack fatherly love, and you want my father, to beat your ass hard!"
After muttering, Zhou Ming signed the "order to go out" on the table, and relayed the signal through the wireless telegraph ship, and three days later, a huge fleet of 55 ships covered with iron armor, sailless decks, spewing steam, and displacing more than 3,000 tons set off from Weihai Port on Qizhou Island, and sailed west at an average speed of 12 knots.
At 10 o'clock in the morning on the eighth day of September, a shocking naval battle broke out on the sea more than 20 miles off the coast of the Baijiang Estuary in Gaoji Kingdom, which was known as the "Baijiangkou Sea Battle" in history.
The process of this naval battle, boring and boring, there is nothing to narrate, it is a massacre of wooden sailing ships by steam ironclads, thousands of warships of the Great Zhou, all the troops were annihilated, only three or five small fish escaped, overseas Wenguo, with single-digit casualties, killed more than 200,000 enemies, and captured nearly 300,000.
After the Battle of Baijiangkou, Zhou Ming personally led a huge landing fleet to enter from the Zhongjiang River along the coast of Yangzhou, and at a speed of less than eight knots, he went upstream, easily destroying several inland river defense fleets in the Zhongjiang River, and thirteen days later, the landing fleet landed on the shore of Luoshui, less than 200 miles away from the imperial capital Luojing, and among the 52 landing ships, a landing combat force of 10,000 people came down, and then this force, along the wide official road, took a day and a half to arrive at the imperial capital.
In a day and a half, the march of 200 miles, many people expressed disbelief, and the reason why the marching speed is so fast is because this landing force is equipped with 2,000 internal combustion engines, these cars, equipped with a power of eight horsepower heat pipe engines, a load capacity of up to one ton, a maximum speed of up to 15km / h, a shockproof chassis, plus rubber pneumatic tires, so that these cars can travel about 300 kilometers without trouble on the ground in general road conditions.
However, in the process of the first actual combat application, the performance of these cars is not satisfactory, but in a short distance of more than 100 kilometers, these two thousand internal combustion vehicles, because of various failures, more than 1,100 vehicles, scrapped and abandoned on both sides of the road.
Of course, although these cars were not very powerful, they still barely achieved the purpose of the lightning march, so that the Chaoshi Emperor Li Wei did not have time to prepare to escape from the imperial capital, and was blocked in the city and could not escape.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
After a few loud bangs, several gates of the imperial capital city were blown open by high-energy explosives, and nearly 10,000 landing troops armed with machine guns that could fire bursts into the city.
After two or three hours of fighting, he led a group of eunuchs to retreat into a palace and resisted the Chaoshi Emperor Li Wei, who performed very bravely, and killed seventeen soldiers of the landing army who wanted to capture him alive according to Zhou Ming's order, and kept shouting: "I am the true son of the dragon!
"Bump!"
A big man in an iron tower wearing sealed iron armor with only one eye slit and like an iron can, first slapped the long sword in Li Wei's hand with one palm, and then slapped him on the back of the head with another palm, knocking him to the ground, and the soldiers behind him quickly stepped forward and tied him with a rope.
It turned out that this big man of the Black Tower was Li Tiejin, the grandson of Li Dazui, he was two meters tall and thirty-six, his divine power was endless, and he was even more fierce than his grandfather.
Caught Li Wei, released the Empress Dowager Changping, who had been imprisoned in the deep palace for nearly ten years, her hair had become completely white, and she had become a little numb and demented, and after feeding her a few pills of immortality, it took a long time for Li Changping to recover, and then assisted Zhou Ming to stabilize the Great Zhou Dynasty.
A month later, the imperial capital Luojing was surrounded by 200,000 Qinwang legions, and all states in the world launched rebellions.
However, on the twenty-fifth day of October, in the Taiji Palace, in front of the ministers and hundreds of officials, the Empress Dowager Changping personally broke out a big news, which shocked the ministers, and the millions of people in the imperial capital and the 200,000 Qinwang army outside the city couldn't help but exclaim: "How is it possible? Your Majesty the Emperor is actually the son of Emperor Wen Tian Zihua?"
It turned out that the Empress Dowager Changping broke this news, revealing the mystery of Emperor Li Wei's life experience, saying that his biological father was Tian Zihua, the emperor of the overseas literary country.
But when Zhou Ming personally pulled Li Wei, who was tied up by a rope, and appeared in the palace together, facing the ministers together, the faces of the two were more than 50% similar, coupled with the narrative of the Empress Dowager Changping, even if Li Wei repeatedly denied it: "He is not my father, he is not my father!" But after the test of blood recognition and blood compatibility, most of the ministers in the palace were silent and accepted this fact.
At this time, Zhou Ming shouted against Li Wei in front of the ministers, saying that he "has three unfilial pieties and should not be the emperor!"
One is not filial, imprisons his biological mother, destroys his father's business, is selfish, and rebellious!
Two are not filial, send troops to the father's country, plot against the father's land, be rebellious and undisciplined, and insist on going their own way!
Three unfilial piety, the father is on the side, flatly denying it, the beast is not as good, and he should not be the emperor!
After announcing these three unfilial pieties, Empress Dowager Changping decided after discussing with Emperor Wen that Emperor Li Wei would be abolished! The new emperor would be re-elected in 10 days.
Not only that, in order to punish the deposed emperor Li Wei's various unfilial deeds, Zhou Ming ordered people to build a ten-zhang high "beating the emperor platform", in front of hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital and 200,000 Qinwang army, with a whip, beat Li Wei hundreds of times, beating him again and again begging for mercy, and even shouting "Don't dare, don't dare!" Seeing that his buttocks had been beaten and the flesh and blood were blurred, Zhou Ming stopped and asked someone to carry him down.
The next day, all the Qinwang troops outside the city were withdrawn, and the ministers and officials in the imperial capital also died down, ready to welcome the new emperor, and those loyal ministers and righteous men who had secretly contacted also gave up the plan to rescue Li Wei, and the impassioned indignation of the ten states in the world gradually subsided.
Some people will ask: Why did the situation change so dramatically? Why did everyone ignore the deposed emperor Li Wei?
Because the hearts of the people in the world are no longer in him.
One, the abolished emperor Li Wei is indeed unfilial, his mother deceives his father, and heaven is intolerable, such a character is difficult for people to believe, he will be a good emperor, but he may be a tyrant.
Second, the mother was abused by her son, the father and son called back and forth, and it was a private matter of other people's families, and outsiders couldn't care about it, as for who the next emperor was, it was up to his parents to decide, as long as it didn't affect people's normal lives, they didn't have much opinion......
