Chapter 265: Huang Taiji's Keeping Pace with the Times
Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, has always been superstitious, so he can make friends with monks and Taoist priests, so when he saw this person, he was not the slightest annoyed that he was blocking his way, and asked:
"Who is this Celestial Master?"
The man said: "The prince misunderstood, the contemptible person is not a Taoist priest, and he wears a Taoist robe because he is also a good scholar of Huang Lao, so he loves this outfit to dip the Taoist immortal spirit." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Since he was a fake Taoist, Zhu Huakui lost interest and was about to leave, but he heard the Taoist priest suddenly say: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu has forgotten the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, and the vassal king is not allowed to leave the fief unless he is the king of Qin!" ”
This false Taoist priest's words were understated, but they resounded in Zhu Huakui's ears like a giant drum, making Zhu Huakui's whole person stunned for a moment, he stopped, turned around and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Although Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, is cruel and lustful and regards wealth as his life, he is by no means a stupid and pedantic person, and the reason why he rushed to Nan0 Beijing non-stop when he knew that he wanted them to go to worship filial piety was that he was afraid of being deducted from a disloyal and unfilial hat when he was today.
But it was precisely because he was in a hurry that he forgot that the Ming Dynasty still had such an ancestral system.
In fact, in normal times, he did not leave Wuchang in disguise to go to the banks of the Qinhuai River and the West Lake, but this time it was different, he left the fiefdom under the condition of picking out his identity, so in this way, it is very likely that he will be caught in an urn by His Majesty today.
The two long historians on the left and right are also incompetent people, and they rely on Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, to mess around, so they don't have much knowledge, and they didn't think that there was also the Ming ancestral system.
But the sudden mention of this fake Taoist priest made Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, suddenly think of this, and secretly admiring this person does not seem to be a simple matter, and one sentence has broken the traps and traps he is facing now.
"The contemptible person is the forty-fourth year of Wanli, the former Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, Ruan Dacheng of Tongcheng, and has seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"
Ruan Dacheng said and bowed down to Zhu Huakui.
Zhu Huakui couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't know who Ruan Dacheng was who he had been making people on a woman's belly all year round, but he knew what Jinshi and Shaoqing of Taichang Temple were.
"I didn't expect to be a Wenqu star, the lord of the court, Lone is disrespectful", since Zhu Huakui killed Zhao Kehuai and was almost forced to cut off the prince by the imperial history of the court, he realized the power of civil officials, so he didn't dare to despise this Ruan Dacheng, and when he remembered what Ruan Dacheng said just now, he couldn't help asking: "I don't know what Mr. Ruan should do, should Lone be, should he go to Nan0 Capital or not go to this Nanjing City?" ”
"Go! Go generously! Ruan Dacheng replied without thinking about it, and made a confident appearance, waiting for Zhu Huakui's further inquiries to reflect his wisdom.
Ruan Dacheng was originally close friends with Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, but because Ma Shiying is now collecting business taxes in Fengyang, and he Ruan Dacheng is a wealthy businessman in Fengyang, Ruan Dacheng thought that with his relationship with Ma Shiying, Ma Shiying could open a back door to his Ruan family's industry in the new commercial tax policy.
But Ruan Dacheng didn't expect that Ma Shiying, who had just become governor, became selfless with him, and even asked his Ruan family to take the lead in setting an example, which made the friendship between Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying break down all of a sudden.
"Why, please make it clear to Mr. Ruan", Zhu Huakui was really a little worried at this time that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao would take the opportunity to do things, and he was also reading the newspapers and periodicals these days, so he naturally understood what His Majesty was going to do today.
"Lord Wang, please take a look at this issue of "Jingzhou Weekly", the views in it are very novel and sharp, Lord Wang, please be patient, see the end, Lord Wang should be able to understand something."
Zhu Huakui, the king of Chu, took the newspaper and read it for a long time, and was so angry that he tore up the "Jingzhou Weekly" that was as thick as a magazine in one breath, and then scolded: "These damn guys, Lone regrets that he didn't eradicate these damn private newspapers at the beginning, and now these guys dare to directly insult Lone and destroy his whole family." ”
"The prince is angry, if today's son intends to cut the domain, so he secretly instigated various newspapers to report on the vassal king's drag on the country's income, that is to say, whether you go or not, you will be punished if you are not careful, but you have no military power, no financial power, and you are completely controlled by others, so if the prince wants to live, he must go to Nan0 Beijing, do not learn to disobey the holy decree with other vassal kings, and after going to Nan 0 Jing, no matter what excessive requirements His Majesty puts forward today, you have to meet, at least verbally agree, and strive to let His Majesty gain a good impression of you today, so that you can get Your Majesty's favor. ”
As soon as Ruan Dacheng said this, Zhu Huakui suddenly came to his senses, and immediately rushed to Nan0 Capital without even entering Jiujiang City.
……
Zhu Youxiao's edict and the pressure of public opinion that continued to ferment made the vassal kings of the entire Ming Dynasty remember to turn around like ants on a hot pot, and this matter was also known to Huang Taiji of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Wu Sangui of Wu Xiangbu.
Looking at the four-wheeled carriage and fire hammer that were dismantled, Huang Taiji was very depressed and smashed the jade bowl in his hand on the ground, pointed at Li Yongfang and scolded: "What are you doing, these things can't be made, how can we fight with Da Ming!" ”
"Long live the anger, it's not that we can't, it's really too much ingenuity here, and the Ming Court is now extremely strict in this regard, we can't create it in a short time!"
Li Yongfang hurriedly cried and explained a few words, these days, due to the influence of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji also began to realize the importance of the so-called strange skills and tricks to the rule of the dynasty, so he also learned from the Ming Dynasty to build a Daqing factory similar to the Royal Academy of Engineering, and also let Li Yongfang, who was familiar with the cannon casting process, be in charge of the Daqing factory, responsible for imitating flintlock rifles and all kinds of advanced firearms that appeared in the Ming Dynasty.
However, due to the lack of technology and the low skill of craftsmen in this Qing Dynasty manufacturing institute (most of them are captured folk craftsmen who have not undergone systematic training), it is difficult to imitate some parts successfully.
And Huang Taiji also knew Li Yongfang's difficulties, and after scolding a few words, he also ordered him to get up, and said: "Find a way to catch a few more academicians in the Ming Court Royal Academy of Engineering and what Academy of Sciences, and use beauty and money, I have a hunch that I can survive for more than ten years by relying on the Eight Banners Cavalry in the Qing Dynasty, and if I want to defeat in the future, I will definitely lose on these iron pipes and copper guns!" ”
"What the Lord said is extremely true, but now the Ming Dynasty is extremely strict, the academicians of the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Academy of Sciences are secretly protected by the masters of the East Factory, and the defense of the entire Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Academy of Sciences is stricter than that of Zhu Youxiao's Forbidden City, we have lost a lot of important eyeliner, and we have not caught a single one so far."
While Li Yongfang was talking, the guards of the First Emperor Taiji hurriedly ran in: "Long live the lord, the latest Daming Daily has arrived." ”
I don't know when it started, Huang Taiji also began to become a loyal reader of Daming Daily, although what he read was half a month ago, but now Daming Daily has become his only channel to fully understand Daming.
