Empress Zhou is sighing, and Emperor Chongzhen is sighing. After such a conversation, he realized that there is a long way to go in order to liberate the half of the sky for women in this ancient society. In fact, in the final analysis, the most important thing that hinders this is that women have no social status, and that's it.

Matrilineal societies are matriarchal societies because human beings depend on women for their lives. In this patriarchal society, in order to win more power for the majority of women compatriots, the first thing is to enable them to create more social value and become a useful person, an independent person, rather than a vassal of men.

Hehe, if you have this thought, is it considered a betrayal of a male compatriot in the world? Emperor Chongzhen thought, and he was happy in his heart.

In the foreseeable future, Daming will continue to expand at a high speed, although the population of Daming is about 200 million, but such an expansion rate, if you want to wait for children to grow up, it is far from enough. What's more, with the current medical conditions, the premature mortality rate of the population is too high, and this problem must also be solved.

Sometimes, I'm still too naïve. Emperor Chongzhen thought so, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, men are sixteen years old and women are fourteen years old, which is the age of marriage discussion. Even the emperor's choice of concubines and the women he ordered were between thirteen and sixteen years old. Junior high school students are going to get married and have children, which in the eyes of future generations, is really a beast!

What I thought before, a will made the Ming Dynasty change this custom, stipulating that in the later generations that women will not be considered true adults until they are eighteen years old, and late marriage and late childbearing are conducive to human evolution.

Only a few places have counted the number of women giving birth to the factory guards and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This progress is not fast, after all, people will not go to the government to report the whole process of giving birth, and the government needs to go down to investigate and collect evidence. However, judging from the existing data, the probability of something happening is still very high, although Daming has been able to protect one of them at this time, but whether it is a dead adult or a dead child, it is a tragic thing.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly sat up again, and said to Empress Zhou with a little seriousness: "There is no difficulty, it can't be solved." I decided, according to the queen's wishes, the children's school was divided into two, facing each other by the wall, different doors entering and exiting, and the male and female gentlemen were responsible. So, is it possible? ”

When Queen Zhou heard this, she was a little puzzled, why she had to go together, and she was so clear. Those rich gentlemen who invited their daughters to teach their daughters to read and write are also men!

Although she had some doubts, she quickly answered the emperor's question: "Your Majesty, this should be okay!" ”

"Hehe, that's good!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "When the actual maturity in the future, for example, this generation is wide, it is estimated that this wall can be broken!" ”

"......" Queen Zhou was speechless when she heard this, and she couldn't understand why her husband had some strange thoughts in her head.

She thought so, but Emperor Chongzhen hit her with the idea again, and heard him say to Empress Zhou: "The queen is the mother of the world, and she is an example for women in the world." I thought that the queen could also learn more about science and technology, and then when she summoned those women, she could also have one more topic to chat about, well, in addition to what she talked about before, you can talk more about science and technology, and appropriately show her good impression of those women who can talk to you about one or two lives. “

"......" Queen Zhou continued to be speechless.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about her, but continued to say according to his own thoughts: "Under the effect of the upper and lower ranks, I don't believe it, those princes and nobles will have no incentive to let the women in their mansions also learn some scientific and technological knowledge or something." Even with them, their school-age daughters should also go to children's school! ”

Speaking of which, if the emperor and empress want to work hard and have a high enough prestige, then things will get twice the result with half the effort. And unknown people, if they want to promote a thing, it will naturally be half the effort.

Needless to say, Empress Zhou's virtuousness is naturally needless to say, things that are beneficial to the emperor, and it can even be said that things that are beneficial to her son and the current crown prince, she has no reason not to do it, so she naturally accepted it immediately.

I don't know why, after such a conversation with Empress Zhou, Emperor Chongzhen had a deeper feeling about what the ancients said, "The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit".

To govern the country, we must also pay attention to the word "profit."

However, if you only pay attention to the word "profit" in anything, it is also going to the extreme, and you must also give a shackle, and there must be moral constraints, which is embodied in the law.

After sighing for a while, Emperor Chongzhen prepared for a few days, and then quietly went out on patrol again. The people's feelings must be personally experienced, and the achievement value must also be harvested. Anyway, there is a chat group system, so you have to go out and walk around every once in a while.

Unlike Emperor Chongzhen, who went out on patrol with a leisurely mood, Tokugawa Iemitsu in Edo, the Japanese country, was actually not doing well. In just over a month, two maids had already been killed. One accidentally fell and knocked over a cup; The other one accidentally let out a loud fart and was heard by him.

As a result, everyone knew that Tokugawa Iemitsu was in a bad mood, so everyone was cautious, fearing that they would suddenly encounter a catastrophe.

However, they can also understand the reason why Tokugawa Iemitsu is in a bad mood, not to mention the loss of Kyushu, even the southern part of Honshu has been captured by Kense, and there has been no news of victory for too long. Now that even the local garrison in Edo has been transferred, and I don't know if I can come back from a victory.

Speaking of which, those Jianjiao are really cruel and cunning enough, and it is a set of arquebuses to deal with the Japanese state, and it is indeed not easy to defeat them.

Just as they thought, Tokugawa Iemitsu stared at a map of Shikoku hanging on the wall, and without turning his head, he just asked, "Is there any news from Shikoku?" ”

"Not yet." His subordinates cautiously replied, "The four kingdoms have less than three thousand prisoners, and the rest are those who are rebellious, and their combat power is not worth mentioning. Now that the Shogun has sent four times as many elite troops as the enemy, he is sure to win a great victory! The subordinates estimated that the good news should be within a few days! “

Of course, Tokugawa Iemitsu thought the same thing, and if he didn't think that the army he sent would win, he would not have taken the risk of transferring Edo's forces over.

In fact, as soon as last year's war came, especially after being captured by Jian, a series of onslaughts have been in the stage of passive beating. Although Iwami Ginzan was finally saved, the south had already been eroded, and even if all the prisoners were finally eliminated and those rebellions were suppressed, it would be difficult to restore the original prosperity.

In today's war situation, the shogunate's side is basically in the passive defensive stage, and it can be said that morale is very low. This not only affected the next battle, but also seriously affected his prestige and the prestige of the shogunate!

Therefore, for Tokugawa Iemitsu, it was too much to win a big victory to boost morale.

Judging from the results of the battle, if the Jianguo of the Four Kingdoms can be eliminated, it will be 3,000 Jianguo, or the commander of a prince of Jianguo, it will undoubtedly have a very big change in the entire battle situation.

Or should the army on Shikoku Island land on Kyushu Island without doing anything, knock down the few cities that were difficult to conquer before, pull out those rebellious roots, and finally deal with the remnants of Kyushu Island. Avoiding the enemy's edge and attacking its weakness may be the most advantageous countermeasure!

Thinking about it this way, Tokugawa Iemitsu was in a better mood.

At the moment, Kenyu is attacking Osaka in a big way, but he believes that in the short term, Osaka will not be so easy to capture. When the war on the Shikoku side is over, when the head of the Prince of Kengu, called Duoduo, appears in Osaka Castle, it is estimated that the emperor of Jianyu, what is the name of Dolgon, will be surprised, right?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to it a little, so he ordered his subordinates: "Send fast horses to investigate the battle situation in Osaka again, and report it every day!" ”

"Hey!" When his subordinates heard this, they agreed, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

At this time, on the island of Shikoku, the battle situation has indeed reached its final moment.

The city has long been ruined, the smoke of gunpowder is filled, and there are countless corpses above and below the city. There are Japanese people, and there are those who build captives. The war was obviously very tragic.

Outside the city, there were tents all over the hills, but only half of the camps were now filled with smoke. But the atmosphere in the camp was okay, and many of the widows croaked and talked with excitement, and from time to time pointed to the ruined city. Obviously, they thought they could take the city soon.

Correspondingly, the ruined city is lifeless. It was time for the meal, but there was no smoke in sight.

In a brick house in the middle of the city, a rat-tailed builder entered the house with a bowl of meaty soup and said to a young builder with red eyes in the middle of the room: "Master, the horse broth is here." ”

This young Jianyu is the leader of the Shikoku Jianyu, Duoduo, Shikoku Island, although he had an advantage at the beginning, but he fought for nearly a year, and the war horses died of a lot of diseases, there was not enough horse material, and the surviving war horses could not be seen, and each one of them lost weight seriously.

Especially at the end of the year, after the sudden appearance of countless Tokugawa shogunate troops besieged the castle, the war horses were completely abolished. There is already little grain and grassland, and the city has already begun to eat dead human flesh in the city until now, only Duoduo and horse meat can be eaten.

However, at this time, Duoduo was not in the mood to drink horse broth, his eyes were red, and he suddenly shouted: "Why, why haven't there been reinforcements for so long?" ”

When they had the advantage before, they had already sent a ship to communicate with Dolgon in this state, and the reply they received was that they would send someone to answer it as soon as possible.

In fact, when they originally came to attack Shikoku, Dorgon and Dorgon discussed it. Duoduo led his troops to attract the attention of the Tokugawa shogunate, so that Dorgon's side could successfully capture Honshu. Then, Dolgon's side will launch a fierce attack to relieve the pressure on the Shikoku's side, and finally find an opportunity to bring Dordor to Honshu.

Therefore, when the man whom he had sent to his state came back to report the state of affairs, he was quite happy. Everything is going according to plan, the fighting on the Honshu side is also going well, and the promised reception will come over soon.

However, the Tokugawa shogunate sent several times as many reinforcements as they waited for in the end, and they arrived on the island of Shikoku first.

At the beginning, Duoduo thought that this was the best, he would hold on first, consume the enemy's morale and vitality, and when the receiving army sent by Dorgon arrived, he would join forces with the outside and defeat the Japanese army outside the city in one fell swoop. With such a large number of Japanese troops being severely damaged, I believe that the Tokugawa shogunate must have suffered a lot of pain.

However, the war continued, and the long-awaited receiving army did not show up for a long time. By this time, Dodor was in despair. He was a little hard to believe, it stands to reason that Dorgon would not give up on him no matter what, but why didn't he take the army? Didn't you already say it?

Naturally, he didn't know that Dolgon had indeed sent a receiving army, and even stormed Osaka himself, attracting the attention of the Tokugawa shogunate army. But he didn't calculate it after a thousand calculations, and Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Kingdom took the lead, making moths for them, instigating Haoge to throw down Duoduo and do what he thought was right.

To Dord's yelling, his guards were speechless. It's too late to say anything. The next enemy attack outside the city, even this ruined city, it is impossible to stop it. If it were in Liaodong, they would also suggest that their master break through and leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood.

However, this is the Wa country, it is the island of Shikoku, even if you can break through, how can you get rid of the pursuers, there is sea water on all sides, where can you flee to?

Duoduo shouted for a while, but no one answered, and he couldn't help but angrily snatch the bowl with the broth, whether it was hot or not, and after drinking it, he slammed it to the ground, making a "pop" sound, and the soup bowl shattered into countless pieces.

"Damn it, isn't Dorgon shrewd? Don't care if your brother lives or dies? Ignoring it, Dorgon scolded Dorgon for the first time, his face full of despair, "How the fuck did I become an outcast?" ”

When the guards in the house heard this, they all bowed their heads one by one, and no one said anything about it. Their faces were also full of despair.

At this moment, the earth-shattering drums suddenly sounded outside the city. It was clear that the Tokugawa shogunate was about to start attacking the castle again.

Duoduo was shocked when he heard this, he had fought a lot, and naturally understood that this time the battle was afraid that it would be the last battle.

Until now, the prisoners, including Duoduo, have never thought of surrendering. Not only are they incompatible, but more importantly, their hands are stained with the blood of the Japanese people, and even if they want to surrender, the Japanese people will not agree.

"Fuck, fight with these dwarfs!" Dodor shouted and strode out.

When his guards saw this, they looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

After a while, the shouts of killing resounded over the city again.
