Chapter 142: Summoning the Prince Back to Beijing
The Junker aristocracy was criticized in later generations, they were a group of mobilizing forces, but in this era, the Junker aristocracy definitely represents the advanced productive forces, represents the advanced system, and is the most suitable political system for this era. It can be said that the evolution of the monarchy into the Junker aristocracy is all progress.
The Junker landlord class was originally the Prussian aristocratic landlord class. Junker (a transliteration of the German Junker), which means "son of a landlord" or "little master".
Originally, it referred to the children of nobles who did not have the title of knight, and later generally referred to Prussian nobles and large landowners. Since the 16th century, he has long monopolized important military and political positions and held the leadership of the country. In the middle of the 19th century, capitalism began to become semi-feudal aristocratic landlords. It was the pillar of reaction after the union of Prussia and the German states in the second half of the 19th century, and was the main supporter of the German **** policy.
After the end of World War II, the anti-*** coalition (especially the Soviet Union) carried out large-scale economic and social reforms in order to eradicate Germany from the roots, and the land of the Junkers landlords was either nationalized or distributed to small farmers, and the Junkers disappeared from then on.
The Junker landlord refers to the nobles who applied to the king and obtained the ownership of the land after obtaining the land by war, so that the interests of the nobility and the interests of the state were closely combined, and Prussia (the predecessor of Germany) made its fortune in this way, and finally unified the whole territory of Germany, and even launched a war! However, due to the long-term monopoly of important military and political positions, most of the land is controlled economically.
From this point of view, it is a perfect fit with the current Ming Dynasty, the Junker landlord class is extremely conservative in politics, advocating monarchy, advocating force, and favoring protectionism against agriculture, whose representative figure is Bismarck.
When the Junker aristocracy developed to the end, it was the stage of monopoly capitalism, that is, imperialism, which used capitalist methods to run agriculture and invest in industry with common interests with the bourgeoisie, and to expand arms and wag wars of aggression for them. The strength of Germany was driven by these Junker aristocracy, and the combination of the Junker landlord class and the monopoly bourgeoisie made German imperialism particularly aggressive.
Further down is the road of monopoly capitalism by the military state, which can be said to be the most feasible and advanced system of the moment.
Zhu Houzhao has been promoting this matter, and the labor dispatch company established this time is basically the embodiment of this policy.
Once Liaodong and Northwest realize the benefits of foreign expansion, then this expansion will not stop, and as for whether the Ming Dynasty will develop into a war maniac in the future, this Zhu Houzhao feels that he can't control it. Juncker politics can at least support the Ming Dynasty to survive the era of global colonization, and even become a trendsetter in the era of global colonization.
Unlike countries such as Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal, the size and national character of the Ming Dynasty will surely burst out with unprecedented power under the impetus of Junker politics.
Anyway, Zhu Houzhao feels that once Junker politics is spread out in Daming, then there is basically no physical resistance force around, this is the external expansion of capital instigation, Daming has the world's largest population, the world's largest economy, and is definitely a monster of this era. Once this monster was full of expansion and rushed up, Zhu Houzhao didn't know where the end would be, which he couldn't foresee.
You must know that in the global colonial expansion, the hegemony of various countries is constantly rising and declining, but a country like Daming, once it rises, it is really difficult for his size to decline.
As for the war, if you want to win the Ming Dynasty, count on the countries of Southeast Asia? Counting on the Northwest Steppe? Or do you count on Europe's strength? In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, it's all useless.
Once Da Ming runs wild and clicks on the technology tree of the industrial revolution, the number of troops that Da Ming can burst out will definitely be able to scare many people stupidly. You must know that in this era, Daming has a population of 200 million, and under such a population base, to what extent Daming can go, Zhu Houzhao himself can't say, but at that time, he estimated that he had been dead for a long time, so let it be!
Although it's not "who cares about the flood after I die", but my foundation is here, and if the boat capsizes later, it has nothing to do with me.
Those imperialist countries in later generations have experienced two world wars, and they are still developed countries, whether it is Africa where black slaves are trafficked, or Asia that is ravaged, you don't want to take revenge, you are still being bullied, Zhu Houzhao feels that even if the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty declines, it should not fall to the point of the previous life.
Even if it fell to the point of the previous life, didn't the previous life also rise? Zhu Houzhao has confidence in the civilization of this land and the people of this land.
Zhu Houzhao almost sorted out his thoughts, and the expression on his face suddenly relaxed, resting on the couch, quietly thinking about his next plan.
"Your Highness, Tang Bohu brought someone over." Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side and said respectfully.
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, the person brought by Tang Bohu?
Turning his head to look at Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Who?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, it's a Taoist priest." Liu Jin hurriedly said.
Taoist? Looks like the person I'm waiting for is here!
"Let them in." Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled, sure enough, there are still smart people in this world!
Time is not long Tang Bohu walked in from outside, followed by a young Taoist priest beside him, looking like he was in his thirties, thin and dark, at a glance he knew that this was a Taoist priest walking around. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in his mind, who is this person? Can he talk to count?
You must know that in the Daomen, age is a very important factor, not that young people are not good, or seniority, but that old age means high seniority.
"Your Highness." After Tang Bohu saluted Zhu Houzhao, he introduced: "Your Highness, this is Fuyangzi of the Longmen Sect. ”
The young Taoist priest hurriedly took a few steps forward and said respectfully: "Xiaodao Fuyangzi, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Fuyangzi, you ask to see this palace, what is the so-called matter?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, Xiaodao came to see His Highness on the order of the family teacher, and the family teacher wanted to meet His Royal Highness Prince Dan, but the family teacher was far away in Qingcheng, and it took some time to dare to come." Fu Yangzi hurriedly bowed and said.
Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then asked, "Who is your teacher?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness, the family teacher is Zhang Jingding, who has no self, and is the fifth-generation grandmaster of the Longmen faction." Fuyangzi reported his name.
Zhu Houzhao nodded, in Qingcheng Mountain? Qingcheng faction?
