Chapter 329: The Power of Industrial Civilization

Yes!

My God!

Why should I be subjected to such torture!

You abominable Orientals, and you willing slave Indians!

You pagans, you are the devil, you are Satan!

A terrible scream came out of Clarantis' mouth, followed by the angry shouts and cries of Colonis, the governor of Santo Domingo, Spain.

The Sinicized Indians inherited the Chinese language, inherited the Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of Zhengde, and began to implement the national Ming official language Daming version of the national Mandarin), and also inherited some of the classic punishments of the Ming Dynasty, such as the current Ling Chi.

Zhang Liangyuan, an Indian from Panama City in the Ming Dynasty, studied at the medical school opened by the Han in Panama City, and even if he specialized in clinical anatomy, he now also works part-time, and now, he followed Yu Chen Dexin and others to Santo Domingo, and was responsible for Ling Chi Colantis, the criminal who first initiated the massacre.

Zhang Liang held a sharp scalpel in the distance and skillfully dissected this Colantis's body, just like an excellent calligrapher is practicing his calligraphy with a pen, the tip of the knife is like the tip of his pen, running like flying, the way of cutting into is ever-changing, every pause is a stream of blood thrown into the sky, is a long howl resounding throughout the universe!

Corantis is in great pain!

At this time, all his nerve touches violently conveyed to him the greatest pain, so that his painful face was distorted, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he stammered in Spanish:

"Honorable Orientals, noble ladies and gentlemen, forgive me for God's sake! Forgive me my sins, s, stop your sword, swe, don't cut my scissors again! I was wrong! I was really wrong! I shouldn't have stirred up the idea of slaughter! I was really wrong! I am willing to be your slave, and I only beg you to stop the knife in your hand, and not to cut the roots of my reproduction, ah! Yes! Yes! Ah, let's just kill me; Kill me with a knife! ”

Colantis screamed for a long time, and finally sweat, tears, urine, excrement, and blood were released in one go, until he died completely.

The Ming Han and the House Slave Indians executed the Spanish colonists in the city of Saint-Domingo with the harshest punishment, which officially began and opened the prelude to the elimination of the Spanish colonists by the Ming Han and the House Slave Indians.

The city of Santo Dominion became the city of the Ming Dynasty, due to the lack of Han people, Tang Kekuan had to appoint Yu Chen Dexin as the prefect of the city of Santo Domin, and Yu Chen Dexin also reciprocated, and immediately after taking over the city of Santo Domin, a new decree was issued, declaring that in the city of Santo Domin, the Han people were the first-class citizens, and the Chinese-based Indians among the Indians, that is, the Indians with the combination of Han family names, were the second-class citizens, the indigenous Indians were the third-class, and the non-yellow people such as white-skinned pigs and Kunlun slaves were the fourth-class.

Of course, in terms of internal affairs, taxation, law, farming treatment, employment, and so on, the number of rights enjoyed by citizens at different levels is naturally different, and the number of obligations they undertake is naturally different.

But in any case, the dominant position of the Han people was guaranteed, and the interests of the Ming were guaranteed, and they had many privileges in trade and mining, as well as engineering operations.

Gradually, the Han Chinese, driven out by the Spanish colonizers, gradually returned to trade, and the city of Saint-Domingo prospered again.

However, the city of Santo Domin, which has prospered again, is no longer a city of Western culture, but a city of Eastern culture, with gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, courtyards in the north, Taoist and Buddhist temples and Confucian academies appearing one after another in this city of Santo Domin, which belongs to the Western Hemisphere.

And Hanfu has also become the most common clothing in this city, even civilians wear Hanjia cloth clothes.

"Coming to the city of Santo Domin seems to be still in Guangzhou, the city seems to be no different from Guangzhou, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and catchy Han reading sounds, but please don't be confused by the superficial phenomenon, in fact, the proportion of Han people here is less than one percent, most of them are domestic slave Indians;

Although most of the people in this city are Indians, the Sinicized Indians among these Indians do their best to maintain the status of the Han people and themselves in order to permanently occupy the rights of the fields of taxation, armed forces, justice, and ideological propaganda, and to propagate the master-servant relationship and loyalty between the Han and the Indians.

In order to get better treatment and social status, Indians had to work hard to learn Han culture and the culture of their masters from the beginning, accept the idea that they were the slaves of their masters, and become the most loyal Confucian scholars in order to enter the official career.

Therefore, the Sinicized Indians who occupy most of this capital, as the most loyal domestic slaves of the Han people, are the ones who maintain the stability of the city, and also unite with the Han people to monopolize the vast majority of the wealth of the city;

The Han people who came here were more like the emperor here, they didn't have to work, they could get all the honors, they even had to become the spokesperson of the company opened by their slaves to get endless wealth, if they were willing to stay in the villa of a slave, then it was the honor of the slave, and the slave would be willing to offer his women to him to enjoy, in the hope that he would be qualified to raise the son of his master!

These domestic slaves were willing to serve the Han people, and they were even willing to pay a certain amount of money to a Han trading house or hire employees of the Han trading house to trade under the banner of the Han trading house.

Because only in this way will the Western Fan and other pirates not dare to provoke them, and they will mistakenly think that they are the trading houses of the Ming Dynasty, and even avoid the extortion of some corrupt officials who are also Indians in Santo Domingo! ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile after looking at a report about the city of Santo Domin sent back by Jinyiwei, and said to Zhang Xuan, the first assistant to the cabinet: "The model of the city of Santo Dominion seems to be very successful, and it also contributes millions of silver dollars to the Ming Dynasty every year, but it only works on the American continent. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, but Huang Ming is different from Xiyi, they only know about killing and plundering, but they don't know that these Indians are also gold and silver, and now we are using the selfishness of the elites among the Indians to constantly harass the wealth of the Americas, and in the future, we can also use the elites of other races!"

After Zhang Xuan said a word, Zhu Houzhao also nodded and said: "But you also have to pay attention, Daming, the elite class of our Han people cannot be used by foreign people, the elite class is selfish, including me and you, but as a member of the Zhongjun Society, we must always keep in mind the idea of the social program and take it as our faith!"

The interests of the country and the interests of the people are put in the first place, and the interests of the individual and the class are put in the second place, if the two are both, it is naturally better, if they cannot have both, they would rather sacrifice the interests of the individual and the class than the interests of the country and the people! ”

"The minister understands!"

Zhang Xuan nodded, he naturally preferred to have both, so he is now extremely supportive of the Ming Dynasty's external expansion and external gains, because only in this way can the market be expanded, and people from other countries can pay for more wealth obtained by the elites and civilians of the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhang Xuan also had to remind: "However, Your Majesty, the minister found that the social and political construction of the Zhongjun Society now needs to be strengthened, since the death of Wang Hua, the president of the Zhongjun Society, the social construction and management have become increasingly negligent, and many members of the Zhongjun Society who hold important positions in the imperial court have begun to believe in Buddhism, Taoism, and even Catholicism, and even those who believe in the green religion of the Western Regions." ”

"Daming is a country of freedom of religious belief, but the members of the Zhongjun Society are different, and the beliefs of the members of the Zhongjun Society can only have one, that is, the ideas embodied in the social program, which must be the belief in realizing the goal of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and the common prosperity of the Ming people, and the belief in other ideas is no longer a pure member of the Zhongjun Society, and such members let them quit the society!"

As soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, Zhang Xuan also arched his hand and said: "Command!" ”

The Zhongjun Society has now become a well-known political group in the Ming Dynasty, not only because of his lofty ideas and strict assessment methods that gather most of the elites of the empire, but also because he occupies an important position in the competition for important positions in the military and political affairs of the empire.

Because of this, more and more people are willing to join the Zhongjun Society, but the purpose has gradually become utilitarian.

But because of this, many officials with the background of the Zhongjun Society began to be no longer as pure as the previous members of the Zhongjun Society, such as Xu Jin and Wang Hua.

Plus.

The Ming Dynasty is now also an empire open to the outside world, although it has been using guns and cannons to promote Han culture, but it does not say that it excludes all foreign civilizations.

Therefore, many foreign missionaries also took advantage of the east wind of global trade, and more and more came to Daming, although they also strengthened the exchanges between the East and the West in the fields of natural sciences and humanities, so that Daming also made better improvements in astronomy, physics, and mathematics.

However, it is also inevitable that the religion they brought with them also had a great influence in the Ming Dynasty.

The Han people, who feared their ancestors more than the gods, did not have a strong need for religion, so the imperial court did not have much vigilance against the spread of religion, and because of this, all kinds of religions were frantically spread among the people, and the struggle between religions began to evolve into a struggle for secular rights.

Zhang Zhang, the first assistant of the cabinet, began to pay attention to the ideological construction of the members of the Zhongjun Society, which is undoubtedly in line with the current situation.

Wang Tingxiang, the head of the household department, no longer holds the position of the head of the household department, and it is not surprising that Yang Li, the left servant of the household department, should have the best hope of being promoted by the court as the head of the household department, after all, he is a member of the Zhongjun Society, and he also graduated from Nanjing Central University, and even has the background of the head of the Youth League of the Zhongjun Society of Nanjing Central University.

However, under the influence of the spread of Western religion to the east, Yang Li took a break from his three-room concubine, was baptized by Father Ansik, and officially became a Christian.

But because of this, Yang Li's baptism caused a great shock in the entire Ming political and ideological circles, after all, Yang Li was the left servant of the empire, and even the real head of the Ming Dynasty.

And now this family member has joined the Catholic Church, which made Zhang Xuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, furious when he heard about it, and Zhu Houzhao was also a little surprised when he found out, he knew that religion was different from cults, and the main thing was to persuade people to do good, but Zhu Houzhao also had to admit that secular power really cannot be controlled by religion, otherwise religious interests would be above all else.

In fact, missionaries such as Ansik did want to rely on believers like Yang Li, who held important positions in the Ming court, to go further, so as to increase the influence of their Catholicism in the secular society of the Ming Dynasty.

"Yang Shilang, in order to proclaim God, you have done your best to become the next Hubu Shangshu in this court push, and hopefully enter the cabinet in the future, Juan Da has worked hard to persuade the cabinet and His Majesty the Ming Emperor to establish a church in the capital and a theology in the provincial universities."

The missionary Ansik said to Yang Li, and personally took out a bill: "This is from Ai Yuxiang, the chief inspector of the East, 50,000 silver dollars, I hope it can help you." ”

Yang Li collected the bill: "Yang must do his best, I only hope that all my Ming Li Shu can also be protected by God." ”

On this day, the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not recommend Yang Li as the secretary of the household department, but instead pushed Cong Lanting of the National Taxation Bureau as the secretary of the household department, and the reason naturally does not need to be explained, it is nothing more than the reason why Yang Li joined the church.

And that's not all.

Zhang Xuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, also met with Yang Li: "You need to understand why you yourself were not promoted by the court as the head of the household." ”

Yang Li put a letter from Chen Shu back into his sleeve, and Xiang Wat also squeezed it very tightly, and then bowed down and asked: "Lord Shou, the lower officials really don't understand9, please make it clear to Lord Shouhua!" ”

Zhang Xuan got up and came to Yang Li, and took out the cross in his shirt: "The rules of the Zhongjun Society, members are not allowed to believe in religion, you have two sores now, either quit the club, or quit the religion you believe in now." ”

Yang Li stood up suddenly, and with a snap, the elephant wat fell to the ground, and muttered, "Why?!" ”

"Once the belief changes, the belief in benefiting the people will change", Zhang Xuan took a sip of tea and replied.

"But the God that the lower officials believe in is also spread in the world with love, and it is not contrary to the loyalty to the king and love for the people, and the first lord b can have both", Yang Li spread his hands and said a little helplessly.

"The old man didn't say that what you believe now is not to convey love to the world, but the world is secular, religion is religion, and Buddhism will still cause chaos in the world, not to mention the religion that Yu Er believes, and the old man and His Majesty mean, it's not that you don't want to believe it, it's just that you can't have the identity of a member of the Zhongjun Society;

In addition, this official has submitted a request to the Ministry of Officials in the name of the first assistant of the cabinet to remove you from the post of Zuo Shilang of the household department, this is the meaning of His Majesty, and it is not appropriate to use non-members of the Zhongjun Society for important positions in the emperor's ** political position, not to mention that you are still a religious believer! ”

Zhang Xuan slapped the table, stood up directly, pointed at Yang Li and said, he still values Yang Li very much in his heart, after all, Yang Li has come up with a lot of good ways to help himself, the head of the cabinet, deal with the collection of mining taxes in the Guannai.

Yang Li is not stupid, and he understands the key, he can't say that he does have the idea of using greater secular power to help the spread of Catholicism by rising to the official position, but he didn't expect the emperor and the cabinet to directly cut off this idea, which made him have a very strong sense of frustration, and he couldn't help but squeeze the elephant wat tighter, and kept his head:

"Lord Shou, you can't do this, there's nothing wrong with you not being able to look up to God like this, why, why do you want to remove me from my post, the lower officials don't understand, they really don't understand!"

"If you don't understand, you have to understand!"

After Zhang Xuan said a word, he then took out a piece of paper: "It seems that you are not willing to give up your religious beliefs, this is an application for withdrawal from the company, you can fill it out yourself." ”

Yang Li picked up the application for resignation heavily, and couldn't help crying for a while, sobbing: "Why, why is this happening!" ”

However, Yang Li still filled out the application for resignation, and at the same time, the Ministry of Officials also issued a document to remove him from his position as the left waiter of the household department.

In the globalization of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao and Zhang Xuan drew a clear line between the secular court and religion, so that the Ming Empire did not lose the original intention of the imperial court to put the interests of the country and the people first because of the influence of foreign culture.

The missionary Ansik was very disappointed with this behavior of the Ming court, and he did not understand why the Ming court could allow various religions to spread among the people, but refused to let one religion get involved in secular power, and why the Ming court could not establish a religion as the only state religion.

Zhu Houzhao knew what the purpose of the missionaries who came to Daming to preach at this time, but he was indeed unwilling to let Daming become a papal state, not only that he was unwilling, but also that the ruling class of the empire would not be willing.

"The people of the empire have not yet learned how to distinguish truth from falsehood, or even to do so, and we, as rulers, cannot do it for them, because what we think is sometimes not the truth;

We can not pursue the truth, but we have to learn to understand what their real needs are, after all, they are the majority of the Ming Dynasty, the people are the most important, the monarch is light, and the society is secondary, but sometimes they themselves don't know what their needs are!

In this materialistic Ming Dynasty, there are too many people, and even some people want to live above others and want to have privileges, which can't, within the Central Empire, among the people of the Ming Dynasty, we can't engage in a hierarchical society in law and personality, at least our court can't, even if the hierarchy and wealth are actually there! ”

"Because only in this way can we maintain our superiority, maintain the advantage of crushing other civilizations, and the reason why the Indians are willing to be our house slaves is because we seem to be more civilized than the other invaders! The reason why we can be more civilized is because our plundering methods are more advanced, and our plundering methods are more advanced, because our production technology is more advanced, so that we don't need to take away people's lives to take wealth from people's hands, and the reason why we have more advanced production technology is only because we put the people first, we liberate the craftsmen, we encourage the people to create wealth, to innovate technology, we only put the people first, the people will put the country first, will be willing to struggle! ”

"In short, according to Your Majesty's intentions, within the Ming Dynasty, there is only one person who can be a master, that is, our emperor is a god, a god we are a god, except for the emperor, no one has the privilege of being higher than others, including the old man, the head of the cabinet!"

Zhang Xuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, said this at the meeting of the Zhongjun Society, but in fact, he only mentioned the charm brought by the industrial civilization of the Ming Empire, but did not mention the power brought by the industrial civilization of the Ming Empire.

Rumble!

Hundreds of mountain artillery shells poured hundreds of shells on the territory of Jiaozhi in the territory of Agui Xiguan, and in less than half an hour, Agui Xiguan was bombed to the ground, not only that, but the Ming Dynasty also fired chemical gas bombs, so that nearly 100,000 monkey soldiers in the entire Agui Xiguan area were all killed.

Yu Dayou and his officers and soldiers, as the vanguard troops, were invincible all the way to the north and marched north to the territory of Wuning.

And the Northern Front Corps brought by Mao Bowen has also gone south, sweeping the entire Northern Cochins in only one month, and also driving Mo Dengyong and others to the territory of Wuning.

Mo Dengyong and Ruan Gan no longer dare to hope that they can defend their foundation, the shock brought by the steel guns and cannons of the Ming Dynasty is too great, and it has completely subverted their understanding of the war, so they only want to escape now, flee to the west, the east is dry and cannot escape, most of the strong ships and cannons of the Ming Dynasty are anchored in the Thanh Hoa area.

However, now Yu Dayou has guarded the only checkpoint for them to flee westward.

Therefore, this Mo Dengyong and Ruan Gan bet the last tens of thousands of monkey soldiers, and even offered a heavy reward.

The Ming Guards led by Yu Dayou took advantage of the fire and geographical advantages to hold the attack of tens of thousands of monkey soldiers, and the officers and soldiers could directly take away the trenches and attack condescendingly, without fighting with the monkey soldiers in the mountains, the Ming version of the Gatling machine gun can still shoot recklessly, and the monkey soldiers have no decent firearms, and the bow and arrow are not good for bidding guns in the rainforest.

In short, the power brought by the industrial civilization of the Ming Empire caused the country of Jiaozhi to be shattered in a short period of time, and by the time Wang Shouren arrived in Thanh Hoa, Mo Dengyong and Ruan Ganbao's puppet emperor Li Zhuangzong had also been captured alive.

"The Great Victory Division took Wuning City in half a day, captured more than 50 princes and nobles such as Li Zhuangzong, Emperor Li Zhuangzong, Quanchen Mo Dengyong and Ruan Gan, and the Ming Dynasty completely recovered all the territories of Jiaozhi!"

The good news spread throughout Thanh Hoa City, and Mo Yu, the former Jiaozhi landlord who was working as a dung worker in Thanh Hoa City, shed tears: "There is no hope at all, the B world has completely become the world of the Han people!" ”

However, for the Han people of the Ming Dynasty, the recovery of Jiaozhi by the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly a matter of celebration for the whole country, and when the Di newspaper reached Guangzhou City, the people of the entire Guangzhou City were completely boiling, because it meant that the price of war tickets was going to rise again, and they were going to make a fortune!

Day 2.

The Daming Stock Exchange lent money as promised, and the wealth from Jiaozhi began to pour into the Pearl River Estuary from the South China Sea of Daming like a tide, and poured into the pockets of the people of Daming.

"At that time, it was difficult to describe in detail, I only remember that between the markets, the melons and fruits were empty, the wine shop was full, the storyteller had a dumb throat, the seller had a soft leg, there were rich people who set up a flowing water banquet in the Qinglou for ten days, and there were poor people who begged for a day and could get a hundred gold!"

After the recovery of Jiaozhi, some literati could not help but remember the grand occasion after the domestic people made a lot of war money at that time.
