Then the enraged king provoked a civil war, and in early 1642, King Charles I, who had fled to Nottingham, declared war on his own parliament, and the king had no idea that he was on the road of no return.

For, in fact, he was declaring war on the New World, and on all the people of England who were determined to go to freedom......

So the wheel of history finally let the royal power fall inexorably, and the king also went to the guillotine.

Although the dynasty was restored within a few years, the monarchy was lost, and autocracy was no longer a given, followed by the famous 'Glorious Revolution'.

In a bloodless coup d'état in 1689, King James II was forced into exile, and Parliament and the new King of England, William III of the House of Orange of the Netherlands, passed the Declaration of the Rights and Freedoms of the People and the Succession to the Throne, establishing a constitutional monarchy and forever changing the political status and succession system of the king......"

"A turning point in history, this is ......"

"This is the starting point event that changed the course of human history."

"Look at our Daming again, it's a pity ......"

Hearing everyone's discussion, Zhu Beiguo did not comment, but just took over the conversation and continued to speak:

"Oh, now the Ming Dynasty is already yesterday's flower, our Chinese land is now the Qing Dynasty Shunzhi period, the Yongli Imperial Court has begun to decline since this year, five years later, Zhu Youlang was strangled to death by Wu Sangui in Kunming, and in that year, Zheng Chenggong occupied Taiwan and established the Chengtian Mansion ......"

"Why didn't Da Ming survive? It's a shame! ”

"It's a pity to say that it's a pity, it's a pity that this Ming Dynasty did not escape the curse of the historical cycle, and died in a civilization far inferior to his own Houjin, but this is the last major historical event in human history when barbarism defeated civilization."

At this time, Zhu Beiguo continued with a serious face:

"Throughout human history, from the European Renaissance to the Enlightenment, from the Age of Discovery to the Industrial Revolution, human society has finally gotten rid of the unspoken historical rule that barbaric and backward nations always triumph over civilized and developed nations.

As you all know in later history, the barbarian nation has never defeated a developed civilization, but the Chinese nation has been dragged into the darkness of barbarism and backwardness again on the eve of the dawn of the turning point of history, and has lost at least 500 years of national fortune......

So Dr. Zhu very seriously began to answer someone's question - why the Ming Dynasty did not survive that social upheaval.

At this time, the venue was quiet, and Dr. Zhu took a sip of sweet potato wine in a plastic bottle and continued:

"First of all, don't pity the Chongzhen Emperor too much, in fact, many pots are for him to carry, as the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate, looking at what this gentleman did, it can be said that it is a proper evaluation.

Of course, the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have their own pots, such as rigid thinking, ignorance of change, and death to save face, not pragmatic, these are very typical.

In fact, discerning people in the world know that the Chongzhen court at that time had two major internal and external troubles: Houjin and Li Chuangwang.

However, don't forget, history has not given them the opportunity to be monarchs and ministers, first of all, both Houjin and Li Zicheng have had the desire to make peace with the imperial court, you may not know that Li Zicheng once really asked the imperial court to be peaceful, and said that he voluntarily went out to fight the Tartars. Later, although it was temporarily edicted, the treatment could not keep up, and people reversed.

In fact, it's still a matter of concept, no matter what the purpose was at the time, but even if it was a delaying tactic, it's always okay to talk to the special and wrong, right?

However, the mainstream political atmosphere in the court at that time was: as soon as you talk about peace talks, everyone will blow up the nest and deduct their hats, because the ancestral family law: no land is ceded and no compensation is paid, and the Son of Heaven guards the country!

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, it was no problem to use Zhao'an, suppress and appease, but to tell anyone the word 'peace', that is a synonym for 'politically incorrect', whoever dares to propose peace talks with anyone, who is a traitor and traitor! Got it, guys? This is the atmosphere of the court.

When Emperor Chongzhen killed Yuan Chonghuan, wasn't this the crime?

At that time, the government and the opposition, the monarchs and ministers on the left said the ancestral family law, and the right sentence of the Han thieves did not stand together, and they insisted on roasting Emperor Chongzhen on the stove, even at the critical juncture when the Beijing division was in danger, the ministers in the court were still so rigid, so they said, the Jiangshan Sheji who kept sending the Ming Dynasty was especially sorry for these patriotic thieves!

At that time, people with a little strategic acumen knew that if they couldn't beat it, they couldn't beat it, and they couldn't beat it if they shouted slogans to cut their throats!

That's good, recognize the reality, let's go away early, okay! Avoid its edge, hit its laziness, will the 36 strategies of the art of war be played?

What's more, in the Ming Dynasty at that time, it was true that several provinces in the north were erosive, but the south was still singing and dancing, and the food was abundant!

According to the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing still has another set of imperial court teams! Isn't this the retreat that the ancestors prepared for their children and grandchildren when the Son of Heaven guarded the country in case they couldn't defend it!

But it's strange, by this time, the ancestral family law is very ineffective! According to historical records, there were indeed people in the imperial court at that time who proposed to move the capital to Nanjing and avoid the edge for the time being, but I don't know which dog thing to hear about it, and when facing Emperor Chongzhen, he said awe-inspiringly:

'Where the ancestors' tombs are located, forbear and abandon them? ’

Get! In this sentence, the strategy of moving the capital to the south has also been abolished!

The final result was that the emperor hanged himself, but at the beginning, they were all righteous and awe-inspiring courtiers, and as soon as Li Zicheng entered the Forbidden City, he immediately surrendered to King Li Chuang.

So everyone, patriotic thieves have been around since ancient times, shouting bloody patriotism, and scolding other people's families for being traitors and traitors at every turn, but as soon as the limelight changed, they immediately became the leading party, which is not just a dog thing that only exists now, I want to catch a lot of people like this in the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty......

As for the later Manchurian Eight Banners, they came to pick up a bargain and let Aixinjue Luo occupy this splendid country, it was also because the Ming monarchs and ministers continued to be stubborn in the follow-up national strategy.

First of all, after the imperial court retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, it has always regarded itself as the orthodoxy of the Celestial Empire, and was unwilling to cooperate with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to resist the enemy.

Tell me, who can blame this group of Ming monarchs and ministers for their deaths? ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Beiguo stopped to drink water, and then someone took advantage of this gap to ask:

"Brother Zhu, it's 1657 now, the Yongli Imperial Court will be over in a few years, and the historical challenge after the Qing Dynasty will be the rebellion of the three feudatories, which will be more than ten years later, Brother Zhu, do you think we will develop for more than ten years, will we have the strength to insert a lever horizontally at that time?"

When everyone heard this, some people immediately couldn't help but comment on this question:

"Hey, this seems to be a play!"

"Well, Huang Hai is right, at that time, we should be able to do things, right?"

"How? Tell me about it. ”

"Don't do anything until then? Have you held it for too long? My idea is to rescue Emperor Yongli and support the Ming Dynasty to gain a foothold in Nanyang! ”

"Pull it down, Emperor Yongli was captured by Wu Sangui in 1662, right? There are only five or six years left until now, and I'm afraid it's too late. ”

"It's too late to say anything, let's go to sea in a few months, seize the time and work hard!"

So the debate in the conference room began again, and later, the debate was no longer a question of whether Yongli could be saved, but a question of what to do with this waste dim sum.

Some people also said that it is better to support the development of the Zheng family in Taiwan by saving the Yongli family, and the historical task of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty can still be achieved.

Some people complained that we should do our own thing and make a fortune in silence, okay? Whoever cares about the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty can do business with us!

What we want is trade, we must base ourselves on the South Seas, look at the world, and do business in Europe and America! If you have an aspiring man, marry nine wives, and when the time comes, you will marry a few yellow, white, black, and red, so that you can live up to our rebirth!

After talking about the current situation in Europe, some people commented that it is better to actively bring in immigrants from all over the world, even if it is to import black slaves, to strengthen themselves as soon as possible, and then go to the whole world to grab colonies, leaving a large living space for children and grandchildren.

At this time, some people jumped out and retorted, isn't it okay not to take Han immigrants as the main body? If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

As soon as this remark came out, he was immediately ridiculed by the other party, how come it is that when it comes to immigration, you have become a nationalist, and when you marry a daughter-in-law, you will become black, white, yellow and red and become internationalist regardless of race, don't you feel contradictory?

So these words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter......
