Chapter 327: National Responsibility, Must Be Conquered!
Looking at the blacks and whites who were fighting, Weng Wanda felt a lot of headaches, but he knew that he had to deal with this matter himself, otherwise, this kind of brawl would only make the whole Ceuta chaotic.
So, Weng Wanda waved his hand: "Brawlers, all executed!" What the Ming Dynasty needs is a slave who is as obedient as a sheep, and a warlike people who are as warlike as a cockfight! ”
So, the two teams of Ming soldiers ran over with rifled rifles, formed an array, and faced the black and white people who were fighting in front of them.
Some blacks and whites saw the appearance of the Ming army and knew that they had broken the rules, so they hurriedly knelt down obediently.
However, there are still some aggressive black and white people who do not care about the appearance of the Ming army and continue to fight.
The Ming army was not polite, and when they saw that these blacks and whites were still fighting, they shot directly, and with a snap, they killed several people in an instant.
Cheng Fuxing of Ceuta Mansion was a little unbearable when he saw this, and couldn't help but suggest Weng Wanda:
"Can Lord Fu Yin forgive these fighting slaves, at the moment the Spanish Armada is directly aimed at my city of Ceuta, and our Guards have a small number of naval and land troops, since these slaves are good at fighting, can they be unified into slave soldiers to enrich our army."
"No, Brother Changfeng, you can't forget the battle of Makino, these slaves are not trustworthy even if they are obedient, not to mention these slaves who are still good at fighting, these slaves cannot become armed until you can guarantee that they will remain absolutely loyal to us;
The most important thing now is to stabilize the order in the city of Ceuta, especially these slaves, the restless slaves must be executed! ”
As he spoke, Weng Wanda looked at some white Confucian and black Confucian scholars in Confucian robes behind him, and saw that there were fewer black Confucian scholars than white Confucian scholars, and he seemed to understand what the reason for the frequent fights between blacks and whites was.
Weng Wanda couldn't help but turn around and say to Fu Cheng Fuxing, who was in charge of education: "In the future, when filial piety is raised, blacks and whites will be admitted separately, and half of each will be admitted, and let blacks be in charge of whites, and whites will be in charge of blacks, and follow the guidelines of using whites to control blacks and blacks to control whites!" ”
"Xia Guan understands, but Fu Yin, you don't know that when it comes to Confucianism, whites are indeed faster and more easily assimilated than blacks."
Fu Xing couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke, and also glanced at some black and white Confucian scholars behind him, and saw these Confucian soldiers in robes looking at the scene of the brawl black and white people being shot with a smile on their faces, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.
Fuxing wanted to carry out so many years of Confucian servitude education, and these black and white people finally diluted the sense of imbalance of being reduced to Han slaves, and began to accept the fact of being first-class slaves under the Han people.
Li Quangui was a soldier of the Guards who was sent to Ceuta, and at this time he participated in the shooting of these slaves who were still fighting, and after the brawlers in these slaves were shot, Li Quangui followed the orders of his superiors, held the butts of his guns, stepped on the corpses of these killed slaves, and directly slashed at these obedient slaves, and directly slashed these mouths full of blood.
After all, although these slaves stopped fighting when the Ming army appeared, they still participated, so according to the rules, they still had to accept the lesson and punishment.
It's the rule!
These slaves did not dare to resist, because the Ming army had guns in their hands, and they were used to being controlled by the noble Han people, and nearly thirty years of colonial rule had passed, so that these people had accepted the idea that the Han people should be superior to others in their hearts.
However, it was only in the Ming colony such as Ceuta that the Han people were superior, and for the Spanish Armada that was sailing south at this time, what they wanted to confirm was that they were whites who were one level higher than the Han Chinese.
With the great geographical discoveries and the opening of new routes, global trade has entered an era of rapid development, coupled with the steam industrial revolution in Daming, which has made this development even more rapid.
As a result, exchanges between the East and the West have become more frequent.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty made a series of reactions to the eastward behavior of the Western colonizers in the context of this era.
At first, it was just the Battle of Tuen Mun, which made Portugal lose the opportunity to colonize the Ming Dynasty.
Then came the Battle of Manchuria, which deprived Portugal of the opportunity to control trade in the Ming Sea, and gave China a gateway to control the trade in the Ming Sea and a base for westward expansion.
Then there was Xia Yan's western tour, which captured the Cape of Good Hope and Ceuta, and killed the Papal States.
This was followed by the Ming occupation of Goa.
These actions brought a great shock to the West, and made these Western colonists realize that the Ming Empire in the East was neither a country that could be plundered as easily as the Indians, nor a super-empire without ambition.
"If we don't face up to the westward strategy of this empire, we in the West will not only be attacked by this Eastern empire, this empire is not a country that believes in Jesus, and their attack will make our entire Western civilization disappear!"
The Commander of the Spanish Armada, Aclau, was very much in favor of the views of the professor at the University of Florence, so he was also very much in favor of the proposal to merge Portugal and Spain in order to jointly deal with the hegemonic Eastern Empire.
Acklau has been studying the Ming Dynasty, he even disguised himself as a missionary and other missionaries to go to the Ming Dynasty, and also studied Chinese and Confucianism in Haojing for ten years, and then went to Nanjing, where he met several Ming scholars, he sighed at the wealth and vitality of this empire, but he also felt the cruelty and ferocity of this empire hidden under the brocade robe.
Acklau had seen with his own eyes the appearance of white people as slaves when they became carrying steel for the Han Chinese, and even saw the pain of white people when they were cut off by the Han people because of body odor, which he could not bear and could not accept.
Therefore, he believed that he, the Westerners, must teach the empire a lesson, otherwise sooner or later they would all become slaves to be abused by the empire.
In fact, with the deepening of economic globalization, the West is indeed more and more dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, including the Han people who made up the Ming Dynasty, after all, the Ming Dynasty has taken away their interests.
In present-day Haiti, North America, Spanish colonists had established their colonies here, and cities such as Saint-Domingo were founded.
After Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, discovered the South American route, the Ming Dynasty was also ordered to occupy Chile and Panama and establish many colonial and trade bases.
And with the opening of the Ming Dynasty to the outside world, many Ming firms came to Haiti and other regions to establish trade relations with the local Indians.
Because of this, a conflict between the Ming and Spain in the Americas was inevitable.
The Ming advanced from south to north, while Spain advanced from north to south.
Both happen to be advancing into Central America today.
But Daming is not too primitive aggressive now.
Because the production technology of the Ming Dynasty is very developed, textiles such as raw silk are very profitable, so the Ming Dynasty does not need to directly take the gold and silver in the hands of the Indians through slaughter and plunder, and only through the sale of ultra-low-cost and excellent quality textiles can obtain a lot of profits.
But Spain was different, and the backward production technology led to him to snatch gold and silver from the Indians in the most brutal way, and even robbed the Indians of textiles and other goods purchased from the Ming merchants.
This led to the fact that the Indians had very different attitudes towards Spain and other Western colonizers and the Ming Dynasty.
The Indians likened the Western colonizers to jackals, and the Ming to angels of creation.
Because the Western colonizers only slaughtered and plundered, and even brought them diseases such as smallpox and plague, many of them died of diseases.
The Ming merchants brought them fine silk and sturdy cotton cloth, and even entertained operas, sturdy concrete roads, and elegant Chinese language schools, as well as vaccinations and various new treatments that alleviated the smallpox and plague brought by the Western colonizers.
Of course, in fact, the gold and silver plundered by the Spanish and other Western colonists in the hands of the Indians will still be earned by the Ming in the form of trade.
In other words, most of the wealth accumulated by the Indians in the Americas was essentially acquired by the Ming Dynasty.
However, in the eyes of the Indians, the real aggressor was the white-skinned pig, and the angel from the east was the messenger of the gods, the builder.
In the areas colonized by the Ming Dynasty, the Indians were happy to be second-class citizens, after all, they could still own their own private property, they could also obtain the protection of life and property, they could participate in fair trade, they could learn the language and writing, and they could know that they were the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.
The Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty who came to the Americas racked their brains in order to make these Indians accept that they were second-class Han Chinese, and finally evolved a so-called Indian history according to some anthropological views of Beijing Normal University, indicating that the Indians were the domestic slaves of the Han ancestor Yan Huang before, and it was because of this that they were arranged to live in the Americas in order to establish a new civilization.
However, domestic slaves really could not be separated from the light of their masters, so before the Han appeared in the Americas, the society of the Indians was backward and barbaric, and their history was not much to remember and even humiliating.
Now, the arrival of the master Han people is to liberate their domestic slaves.
As a house slave, we should also be grateful for the care of our masters, and should uphold the legacy of our ancestors to be the domestic slaves of the Han people for generations, maintain loyalty to the Han people from generation to generation, and revere the ancestors, gods and their own masters, because the masters themselves are the descendants of the gods, and they are the domestic slaves of the gods.
"We are all slaves of the Celestial Empire, therefore, we are nobler than the white-skinned pigs who invaded us, these white-skinned pigs are invaders like Chiyou, although they are stronger than us, but our masters will clean them up for us."
In the city of Santo Domine, Yu Chen Dexin, an Indian man, said this to some Indians underground.
Because of the hatred of the Western colonizers, Yu Chen Dexin's idea of resisting the Western invaders was easily accepted by the Indians, but it was also because of the spread of this idea that the Spanish colonists were very vigilant, especially this kind of thinking led the Indians to launch many rebellions on the grounds of retaking the Han family's main territory.
At this time, the Spanish governor in Santo Domingo, Colonis, also said to his subordinates:
"The recent frequent rebellions of the Indians are rooted in the bewitchment of the Han people's idea of "God's house slaves", and these Indians are obviously very receptive to the ideas of the Han people who are closer to them in skin color, and are willing to become the rich and cunning Han people's house slaves, so that they think that they are nobler than us people, and no longer fear us, and it is precisely because they are no longer afraid that these Indians are becoming more and more reactionary! ”
"These Han Chinese are not only good at inciting the Indians against us, but they are most harmful to us because of their advantage in trade;
Because of the good quality and cheap price of these textiles of the Ming Empire, more than eighty percent of our textile industry in Saint-Domingo has been declared bankrupt!
Not only textiles, because the steel they smelt is better, the machinery is more high-end, most of the gold and silver we mine every year fall into their hands, and our own steel and corresponding machinery are unsalable, and even can only sell the mined iron ore to Daming cheaply! It's a terrible thing! ”
Said Musev, a subordinate of Colantis.
"What you said is right, these Indians rebelled under the slogan of regaining the territory of the Han family, ostensibly to regain the territory for the Ming Empire, to recognize the ownership of the Ming Empire in these territories, but in essence to regain their right to use these places, and to seek the interests of survival!
We can't give these Indians a chance, nor can we give these Han Chinese a chance to bewitch our slaves, at least not in Santo Domingo, therefore, Your Excellency the Governor, I propose that the Han and the Indians be slaughtered in the city of Santo Domingo for a week at a time, and at the same time encourage the Indians to massacre the Indians and the Han Chinese, especially the Indians, so that the Han Chinese can completely provoke the contradictions between the Han and the Indians, and let the Han people take advantage of our contradictions with the Indians and bankrupt their plan to rule the Americas! ”
Vicsi, one of Colantis' subordinates, suggested.
Colantis agreed: "Your suggestion is very good, we must completely ban all activities of the Han Chinese in the Ming Empire, including the dissemination of knowledge, organize the Indian soldiers loyal to us, let them enter the city to slaughter the Han and Indians, and at the same time, tell all the Indians that if you kill one Han Chinese within a week, you can reward Ying Yang, and if you kill five Indians, you can reward Ying Yang!" ”
Thus, the Spanish governor Corantis gave the order for such a massacre.
He Rui was a Confucian scholar from Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, because of His Majesty the Emperor's sentence "Taixi scholars still dare to preach the Quartet for the study of Taixi, you regard Confucianism as the right learning, why do you refuse to teach the Quartet", so He Rui resolutely resigned from the official position of the editor of the Hanlin Academy, coupled with the influence of Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, who sailed around the world and discovered the Americas, He Rui came all the way to St. Domingo as a Confucian missionary to spread Confucianism to the local Indians.
At this time, He Rui had just finished teaching the Indians the way of "loyalty to the king", and was about to announce the end of the class, when the Spanish official Vicxi came with a team of Spanish officers and soldiers and Indian officers and soldiers, and personally walked over with a knife and cut He Rui in half, so that He Rui's blood was suddenly sprinkled on the Confucius statue on the wall.
At this time, Chen Guo Xingxi, an Indian who had been sinicized, immediately shouted: "How can you hurt my teacher!" ”
Vicky directly backhanded, cut off Chen Guo Xingxi's head to the ground, and said to the officers and soldiers he brought: "That's how it was cut, so all the Han and Indians who learned the Han language were killed!" ”
He Zaide, as a Confucian who was deeply influenced by his idea of being a slave of the Han family and was highly sinicized, was also very angry when he saw his mentor He Rui killed by Westerners, not to mention that his name was taken by his mentor, and he hoped that he would be a virtuous gentleman, as an Indian, he should be proud of being a slave of the Yanhuang family's master's house, so the surname of his father and mother was combined with his own surname, and He Zaide was naturally willing to take his mentor as the mainstay, but because he had no mother, he was an orphan. That's why it was named He Zaide.
How, when He Zaide saw that his teacher was killed, and his classmates were also killed, he was naturally very angry, and he hurriedly raised his fists and was about to hit Vicky.
Poof!
However, how could the scholar's weak fist be able to defeat the jackal, and Vicky directly cut off He Zaide's waist with a knife.
He Zaide was killed on the spot!
All the Confucian scholars present were killed.
Coincidentally.
At this time, in another Confucian academy in the city of Saint-Dominion, Zhao Qianzongkui and other Indian Ans were guarding Yao Jian and other Han Confucian scholars in the middle, and shouted to the Spanish colonists who were walking towards him: "You will turn into foreign barbarians, and Hugh will hurt my teacher!" ”
Syllable!
But the Spanish colonists ignored Zhao Qianzongkui's roar, but directly opened fire, sending bullets into the chests of these Indians who accepted the sinicization, so that these Sinicized Indians were killed on the spot, and the Han people who were protected by the Indians were not spared and were also shot!
Yu Chen Dexin had to use Indian language and wear traditional Indian clothes to shuttle around the city of Santo Domingo, he saw with his own eyes that these Spanish colonists were carrying out the massacre of Han Chinese and Sinicized Indians, and also saw with his own eyes that the Spanish colonists were burning Han Chinese goods and merchant ships, and even plundered directly.
Yu Chen Dexin was very sad and angry, he was angry that these people had destroyed this peaceful environment and this stable business order so much, and he hated these people for treating his Han people and his Indians so cruelly.
Yu Chen Dexin had a strong desire in his heart to immediately let the Emperor Zhengde, who was far away in the East and ruled all living beings, know about it, and he hoped that the great Emperor Zhengde would save his Indians and punish these jackals!
Therefore, Yu Chen Dexin tried every means to bring the news of the massacre of Santo Domingo by the Spanish colonists to the Panama region controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, at this stage, Spain and other foreign powers had more than one conflict with the Ming Dynasty.
Because with the development of global trade, the Ming Dynasty had the upper hand in the competition of interests, which made the interest disputes between the Ming and these Western colonists more and more intense, and Spain and other countries could only rely on the ban on Han trade and the massacre of Han people to solve the advantages of Han people in trade in addition to smuggling opium.
……
Capital.
Royal West Garden Hanbi Hall.
Zhu Houzhao angrily smashed his fist on Spain's position, and if he had ICBMs and nuclear warheads in his hands now, he would have liked to level Spain now.
But it's a pity that he is now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not the head of state of the XXI century, he does not have nuclear weapons and long-range unconventional weapons.
Now Zhu Houzhao has learned about the Spanish armada's attack on Ceuta and the massacre of Han Chinese and Sinicized Indians by Spanish colonists in Santo Domingo.
"It's really a challenge that doesn't exist anywhere, the smoke happens all the time, the wealth of the world is gathered in the country, and the foreign people have become fierce gods and evils, burning, killing and looting against the Han people of the Ming Dynasty, attacking cities and cutting down land! It's a heinous crime! ”
The military department Shangshu Gui Cao said.
Zhu Houzhao admitted that Gui Cao said a lot, at present, the Ming Dynasty has seized too many interests overseas, and even relies on the advantages of production technology and civilization propaganda and management, so that the interests of the Western colonists who only know the primitive plunder are seriously damaged, and a series of events are inevitable, and although the Ming Dynasty has strong national strength, it is difficult to ensure the safety of every Han person thousands of miles away and the stability of every Han stronghold.
Huo Tao, the left attendant and privy deputy envoy of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but say: "But whether it is Ceuta or Saint-Domin, they are far from the Ming Dynasty, especially the city of Saint-Domin, for forty or fifty people to work on an expedition, it is really a loss to the people's wealth, the minister thought that this matter can only condemn the foreigners, and at the same time prohibit the people of their own country from doing business in the city of Saint-Domin, and order the Marquis of Jianchang to find a way to transport the Han people back to China." ”
"It is the responsibility of the state to protect the safety of the lives and property of the people of our country, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as the officials of the Ming Dynasty, you can't just collect taxes and not take responsibility, no matter how far away, those who dare to kill the people of my Han family will be punished even if they are far away! In addition, because of his brutality, I can't cut off the trade route by myself! ”
Saying that, Zhu Houzhao said again: "What's more, my current national income depends entirely on foreign trade and tariffs, if we withdraw, it is equivalent to giving up the Americas!"
In this matter, even if it costs a lot of money, it has to go on an expedition, pass on my will, the General Staff of the Guards Army immediately set up a staff group, and now the southern part of Jiaozhi has been occupied by our Ming Dynasty, and the Southern Front Corps no longer needs naval support, so Wang Hong was immediately transferred to Beijing to serve as the deputy privy envoy and the governor of the General Staff, and the title of secretary of the leading department, as the team leader, responsible for establishing the opportunity for the naval expedition to the Americas and the plan to slaughter the jackals! ”
At this time, Qi Jingtong, the governor of Jinyi Weizuo, stood up: "Your Majesty, Yu Chen Dexin, who claims to be a slave of the Han family, asks to see him. ”
Yu Chen Dexin?
Zhu Houzhao was puzzled for a while, but he was relieved to understand, because he had already known through Jinyiwei that some Sinicized Indians would combine the surnames of their father and mother into their own surnames in order to show that they were orthodox Han family slaves.
Zhu Houzhao took it from Qi Jingtong's hand and took a look, but saw that his calligraphy and writing were no different from the old Confucians of the Han family, and he was quite surprised, and at the same time, Zhu Houzhao, who now intends to travel through the Americas, also knew that the key to ruling the Americas was how to use the Indians, so he ordered: "Announce it!" ”
