Chapter 211: Must (First Update, Ask for Support)

Believe in Confucianism, follow Chinese customs, speak Chinese, and write Chinese characters, so that it is edified!

No matter what the means are, although he does not agree with those punishments in his heart, Li Weize has to admit the fact that the indoctrination here is indeed successful, at least to a certain extent.

Although the weather was very hot, Li Weize still deliberately walked around inside and outside the old port city, the old port is the only place in Nanyang where the name of the country has not been changed, this is because this was the old port Xuanwei Division of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally there is no need to change the name. Because it is located near the equator, the climate can even be said to be unimaginably hot compared to the Ming Dynasty.

From the outside, the old port city is no different from ordinary cities in China, and the city is square. The red brick city wall looks extremely strong, about a zhang high, there are four gates outside the city wall facing the four directions, there are artillery barricades near each city gate, and between the city walls, there is a prominent angular horse face every hundred fathoms, there are also cannons on the horse face, there is a moat dug around, and a suspension bridge is erected on the river, the suspension bridge will be lowered during the day, and after the stone is completed at 9 o'clock at night, the suspension bridge will be retracted, unless there is an order signed by the king, a rate of prohibition of traffic, this point seems to be more stringent than the country, perhaps this is because the division of Zhuxia has been, They all faced the threat of war, and even the Gui and Qin states had to face the rebellion of the natives, and the army attacked in all directions to suppress the rebellion.

Compared to the cities of the country, the streets of the Old Port are very wide and beautifully paved, with very neat stone slabs, and trees are planted on both sides of each main street, and in the future the trees will form a canopy to block the scorching sun near the equator. The general houses on both sides of the street are also three stories high, in order to adapt to the hot climate, each floor is very high, the architectural form of the house seems to be no different from the Ming Department, but in fact, the difference between the two can still be seen. There is no doubt that they all look quite imposing on the outside, with the first floor being a stone base and the upper floor made of fine red brick, and the windows are all very wide. This may be for the sake of ventilation, and in order to keep out mosquitoes in the South Seas, there are screens on the windows without exception, and it is the screens and screen doors that protect the immigrants from diseases in the South Seas.

In the city, Li Weize probably admires the most because of the two rows of lawn walkways built under coconut trees on both sides of the road, which are less than two meters wide, which add a lot of color to the street. Small pavilions are erected at different parts of the road, with seats at the edge of the pavilions, so that pedestrians can rest in the cool if there is a shower or strong sun.

There seems to be no difference between this and Daming, but in Li Weize's opinion, there are obvious differences between many places here and Daming, and even the house has undergone some changes, although the change is not big, but it still makes Li Weize feel that perhaps, some kind of internal change is slowly appearing in Zhuxia.

This change may be the so-called "hundred schools of thought"!

In this city, which resembles the Ming Dynasty but has an exotic atmosphere, there are probably four or five of the most striking buildings: the royal palace, the ordnance bureau, the magistrate's office, and the tall "temple". The royal palace is at the end of the central street. Unlike the tall red brick walls of the imperial palace or palace in Zhongdu, its front yard is surrounded by a beautiful railing, and the door is guarded by guards, through which the royal palace can be seen. The so-called royal palace is not so much a palace as a large building, this building is made of stones, the appearance is magnificent, and there seems to be no difference from the palace of the Ming Dynasty, but it is three stories high, the center is four stories high, and the left and right wings of the central building are also very large, surrounded by corridors. There is a team of soldiers who are often stationed, and the soldiers are all Ming people without exception, it should be said that they are Zhou people. As far as Li Weize said, in the army of Nanyang Zhuxia, there were also native soldiers, and their commanders were Ming people, but the soldiers were native people.

During his visit to the city, Li Weize also met several native soldiers, whose clothing and equipment looked no different from ordinary soldiers, but their complexions were darker than those of the Zhou people, and their appearance was also different from that of the Zhou people.

"These natives generally seem to be physically weak."

After a tour of the city, Li Weize made this discovery, he found that compared with the Ming people, the figure of the Turen is generally thinner, especially when he sees the patrol, the tall and tall people in the patrol are all Ming people without exception, and the short and thin ones must be Turen.

"Perhaps, that's why they can't stand up to the Westerners."

Li Weize secretly thought to himself that these natives had been enslaved by Westerners in the past, and it was the arrival of the Ming Dynasty that rescued them - a few years ago, this was a colony of the Dutch, and the Dutch imposed brutal colonial rule here, and now, the arrival of the Ming Dynasty rescued them and led them to indoctrination, so that they would eventually become part of Zhuxia.

After leaving the palace, Li Weize came to the official office again, and the front yard of the official office was a meadow, and there was a passage in the middle of the meadow, and there were several rows of trees beside the road. On the left side of the lawn, not far from the royal palace, is the Ordnance Bureau. The Ordnance Bureau is the most important department of the Zhou State, where firearms, artillery and gunpowder are manufactured, and in front of the door of the Ordnance Bureau, a large number of artillery pieces are displayed, as well as dozens of fully equipped cannons, which are displayed in the semi-open air, and Li Weize has no doubt that these cannons will be pulled to the battlefield at any time as long as there is a need.

The important thing about this building is not its exterior but its interior, which is very solid, not only in the warehouse on the ground, but also in the deep cellar underground, where countless kinds of ordnance are stored.

"Master, you see, this is the Ordnance Bureau, and there are tens of thousands of weapons hidden in the warehouse here. But this is not the largest, the real armory is in the fortress in the north of the capital, and that fortress is the real armory of the Great Zhou, in addition to tens of thousands of pieces of ordnance, there are officers' residences and barracks that can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers. But at present, these soldiers are scattered all over the Zhou State and the border fortresses with Aceh, and those barracks are no longer inhabited. The officers moved out of the city and the troops were stationed in the suburbs......"

The servant sent by the inn to accompany Li Weize explained on the side, and then he explained.

"In this city, in addition to the guards on the city walls, there is also a group of soldiers who guard the palace full-time, and the other troops are scattered in several defensive areas around the city."

"Looks like you know a lot about this place, huh?"

Li Weize looked at this native servant with some surprise, even if he was an ordinary official in Zhongdu, he might not necessarily understand the garrison in Zhongdu.

"Back to the master, the villain is a member of the Self-Defense Forces, so he naturally knows the defense of the Zhou State."

When mentioning the identity of the Self-Defense Forces, the servant immediately puffed out his chest, looking quite proud, the Self-Defense Forces is a step for the native slaves to become Chinese people, only by entering the Self-Defense Forces, and then making military achievements can he become a Chinese citizen and gain freedom, of course, he must be able to speak Chinese proficiently, and he must be able to write Chinese characters, and believe in Confucianism. As far as Li Weize knows, those natives are all proud to be countrymen.

After leaving the palace, not far from the palace is the largest "holy temple" in the city, which is the center of Confucian education and the place of indoctrination, and the temple is surrounded by cemeteries. Unlike the family cemeteries in the past, the cemeteries of the Ming Dynasty are now located around the temple.

The temple is a grand Ming style building, and the "Datong Hall" looks extremely magnificent, and the interior decoration is also extremely beautiful. In this palace where there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, I don't know how many weddings and funerals have been witnessed, and I don't know how many children have made a "writing ceremony" here. Whether it is in the Ming Dynasty or Zhuxia, it is a very sacred place, and even in Nanyang, there are "miracles" related to the Datong Palace, when the natives attacked the township, outside the Datong Palace, the attack suddenly stopped, because they saw the saints, whether it was true or false, no one knows, but it is certain that now in the hearts of the Ming people, the Datong Hall is an extremely sacred place, and it is also the closest connection between Nanyang Zhuxia and the Ming Dynasty.

After leaving the city, Li Weize and his accompanying servants came to the dock outside the city, where a fort was built and there was a warehouse and chamber of commerce everywhere around. In addition, there is a small shipyard where ordinary sailing ships and several small boats can be manufactured.

However, even a person with no military knowledge like Li Weize can see that the defense near the dock cannot prevent the enemy from attacking from the sea, and such a weak defense force is obviously incompatible with the status of the national capital, but he does not know, this is intentional, after all, every feudal state must take into account the worst-case scenario - the country is attacked by the natives, and then the Zhuxia coalition army recovers, so their defense focuses on land, not on the sea, after all, when the coalition army arrives, it is necessary to attack the city from the sea.

Over the next few days, Li Weize continued to visit the city, and slowly he found that it seemed that the strict punishment imposed here was extremely necessary, because the natives of this place were indeed barbaric and strong, and unless the most severe punishment was imposed on a regular basis, it was not enough to maintain law and order, which was essential for the tranquility of civilized people.

Especially when Li Weize saw news reports in the newspapers about the attacks of the natives on the village community, and when he looked at the massacres mentioned above, he seemed to be able to understand everything here.

"Perhaps, all this is just a necessity for indoctrination......
