Chapter 1228: Future Shogun

Some people may think that the Magna Carta is the source of British progressive ideas, which can promote the development of the British economy, bring more tax revenue, and enhance national power......

Hundreds of years later, there is nothing wrong with this, and it is true. However, in this era, the Magna Carta was not the driving force of British progress, but on the contrary, it was a powerful and great resistance to it.

Because the Magna Carta of this era did not protect the interests of the bourgeoisie, let alone the common people, but only the interests of the aristocracy.

As for increasing taxes or something, don't be kidding, the nobles don't pay taxes......

In fact, the only role of the Magna Carta in this era was to prevent the death of a stupid king, not to promote the development of England.

But the problem is that the aristocracy of this era was just as stupid as the king, and suppressed and exploited the bourgeoisie and the common people in the same way. Therefore, to say that the Magna Carta in this era is a progressive thing is absolutely blind. The Magna Carta will only become a force for the development of society if it is revised after the bourgeoisie has entered the political arena. And in this era when kings and nobles are as stupid as pigs, the Magna Carta, which represents the interests of the aristocracy, is simply an obstacle to the development of society.

Of course, the Magna Carta of this era was not useless. For example, he restrained the king from raising taxes without moderation, which was probably the only positive effect of the Magna Carta of this period.

As for the right of citizens to self-government, it may be good for those citizens, but it is absolutely disastrous for a regime that wants to become a colonial empire. Britain's loss of the thirteen colonies in North America had an important relationship with the excessive decentralization of this autonomy. The North American colonies themselves were founded by a group of exiles and Puritans, both of whom were rebellious, and the autonomy granted by Magna Carta led to the eventual loss of Britain's rich North American colonies.

Fortunately, during this period, only England had this kind of thing, and the centralized monarchy system was still popular on the European continent. So, as long as Marin eliminated Magna Carta in England, Europe would not have it.

But Marlin was certain that England would be littered with corpses again in order to repeal Magna Carta. The last time Edward seized the throne, most of the people killed were the great nobles. And this time, the butcher's knife will be aimed at the petty nobles and burghers......

In fact, Marin was not worried about the petty aristocracy. Because, as a nobleman, although he is a little stupid, he is also clever. In the face of the powerful Beihai Army, those nobles will bow their heads if they do not bow their heads. Unless, they are tired of living. However, the citizens of those autonomous cities are not necessarily so aware of current affairs. Many of the revolutions in Europe were carried out by the burghers. The most representative of them is the French Revolution, which was all carried out by the burghers and has nothing to do with the peasants.

Because, these citizens are relatively simple-minded, and they do not lack courage (stupid and bold), and when they are encouraged by people with intentions, they are easy to impulsively mess around. Therefore, Marin can be sure that the repeal of the Magna Carta may have a lot of blood on his hands. But fortunately, England was still an agricultural country at this time, and its citizens were only a minority of the population. So, you don't have to kill too many people.

The cities of this era were basically pocket-sized, especially in Europe. For example, a capital city like Vienna has a population of only 20,000. With a population of more than 100,000, Milan is already one of the top cities in Europe. As for London, there are about 50,000 people. Unlike later generations, any medium-sized city has two or three hundred thousand people, and the population of a large city exceeds one million.

The main force of the burgher class were craftsmen and ordinary workers, but England's wool textile industry started late, and it was only in the time of Henry VII that England began to restrict wool exports and engage in its own textile industry. And Henry VII died only a few years ago, so there should have been not many urban dwellers in England during this period, and even fewer autonomous cities. So, Marin didn't have to kill too many people.

In addition, if there are too many people who resist, Marin also plans to change his strategy - only kill a small number of people who are in trouble, and the rest will be punished to be serfs on the estate. Then, let the disciples of Bishop Taylor brainwash them every day.

These people who dare to rebel against the imperial court are actually relatively simple-minded, and smart people generally do not take the lead to death easily. So, it's easy to brainwash these people. If it doesn't work, they will use the means of pyramid schemes in later generations to lock them in small rooms, and let Taylor's disciples teach them to do actions and shout slogans every day, and they must be washed into their own diehards......

There are no revolutionaries who have read a lot of books these days, and those who generally take up arms and rebel are relatively simple-minded and stupid and bold. Because, in this era, the illiteracy rate in Europe was extremely high, and the educated were all nobles, and the burghers could not afford to read. For this kind of stupid boldness, pyramid schemes are absolutely handy to deal with them. You must know that many college students in later generations have been brainwashed by pyramid schemes, and they can't be washed by these stupid boldness.

……

Thinking of the pyramid schemes that many communities were strictly investigating in later generations, Marin smiled. Looks like you don't have to kill too many people this time......

Marin then arranged for Kohler to inform Bishop Taylor of the preparation of a group of highly gifted Frisian apprentices to brainwash Marin...... When the new round of war in England is over, these Frisian-speaking missionaries will lead the captured citizens of England to shout slogans and make movements every day...... If you don't brainwash them, you won't let them out......

……

As a result, Marin began to go into retreat, concentrating on "creating" (recalling) the slogans and actions used by later generations of pyramid schemes, and preparing to use them to teach the apprentices who had fooled Taylor so that they could do things for themselves.

Just as Marin was sitting quietly in the secret room to create "Brainwashing Magic", Kohler suddenly came over......

"What's the matter?" Marin was a little unhappy that his work had been interrupted.

"Young Master...... No, sir, the Oriental woman you brought back with a name called Shuizi seems to be pregnant, and now her belly is up, and the Ming Dynasty doctor who accompanied her took the pulse, saying that she was already four or five months pregnant......"

"Nani? Is this pregnant? Marin was dumbfounded.

You know, he and Angela have been married for many years, and they only have one son at present. And the liver pays the water, but it is used to relieve the boredom on the boat on the way back to China. As a result, she was actually pregnant......

"It seems that I have to let the Chinese medicine give Angela a pulse, and I have only given birth to one ...... for Mao for so many years."

Marin was right, Angela did have some problems with her body. Of course, it's not a big problem, it's just a little cold. And Gong Han is a very common problem for women, for example, many girls who like to eat ice cream in later generations are prone to this kind of problem. Angela also likes to eat ice cream, and specially made an ice cellar to make ice cream for herself, and wine also likes to put ice cubes, so it is a little cold.

But Gong Han's disease doesn't seem to be big, but it affects fertility. Fortunately, Marin brought back Daming's traditional Chinese medicine and a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, and later supplemented Angela's body to solve this problem, and then reopened the fertility code......

……

Of course, Angela's affair is a matter for later. Regarding the pregnancy of the liver and water, Marin is very complicated. Originally, Marin didn't regard Liver Fu Shuizi as his own woman at all, at most as a dispensable **. Can be pregnant...... Well, it can't be someone else's, women in this era are not as messy as in later generations. So, Marin confessed......

Moreover, Marin has already thought of a way out for his illegitimate son in the future-

"If it's a boy, I'll be a shogun in the future......" Marin said casually.
