When the news of the revival of the Eastern Roman Empire came, the eldest son Zhu Jishi was in the imperial study in the hot spring palace with the crown prince Zhu Guoxiong. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't do any official business. Just talk there. The chessboard is staggered with black and white, and the endgame is killed when you see it.

"Your Majesty, Istanbul has fallen! Tsar Alexander II ordered all the mosques in the city to be converted into Orthodox churches, and those who did not have time to evacuate were ordered to convert, and those who did not want to be converted were either expelled or killed...... It is also said that there have also been large-scale looting, rape and massacres in the city, and the whole of Istanbul has been reduced to hell! ”

Weng Tongyi's words were vivid, and his face was full of righteous indignation. It was as if it was his relatives and friends who were killed. The crown prince Zhu Guoxiong also furrowed his brows, looking very angry. Only Zhu Jishi's face was calm, and he didn't take the tragic plight of the people of Istanbul seriously.

"There is no Istanbul anymore, let's change it to Constantinople in the future." Zhu Jishi played with a black chess piece and said lightly.

"Uh...... Promise. Weng Tong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly promised. The crown prince Zhu Guoxiong was a little puzzled, looked at his father and asked: "Father, we don't have anything with the Turks, shouldn't we be indignant if the Russians treat the Turks like this?" ”

"Righteous indignation?" Zhu Jishi glanced at his son and sneered, "I am the king of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't need to be indignant about what happened to the Turks. And who should be indignant about the Romans (the monarchs and subjects of the Eastern Roman Empire considered themselves Romans) and the Slavs who died under the scimitars of the Turks for hundreds of years? ”

"Could it be that Tsar Alexander II is avenging the Romans?" Zhu Guoxiong asked suspiciously. His education at Imperial City College and Jese University gave him a wealth of historical knowledge and an intimate knowledge of what had happened in Europe over the past few hundred years. Of course, it is known that the Russians have always considered themselves the heirs of the Eastern Roman Empire, the so-called "Third Rome".

"Revenge? Kunixiong, do you think that Alexander II sent hundreds of thousands of troops and spent hundreds of millions of rubles just to avenge the death of those who died hundreds of years ago? Zhu Jishi's tone was slightly dissatisfied, and he, the crown prince, was still a little honest in general.

"The retainers also knew that Alexander II was there to seize land and Black Sea exits." Zhu Guoxiong asked with a frown. But Erchen didn't understand why he was so harsh on the people of Istanbul. Isn't he afraid that the Turks will regard the Russians as enemies? ”

It's like a little bit of a question. Zhu Jishi nodded: "This question involves why the Russians went south, is it for land or taxes?" If it was for the little tax in Constantinople. The Russians, of course, should not be so brutal. But the purpose of the Russians is not to pay taxes at all, but to make land a living space. They wanted to turn the warmer climate of Asia Minor and the Mediterranean coast into a land for the Russians to live and thrive. This is why the Russians have been fighting the Turks for centuries under the banner of the Third Rome. ”

"Father. Actually, the Russians can try to integrate the Turks. Zhu Guoxiong said, "Just like we do with Japan and Mongolia." ”

Zhu Jishi just shook his head and said, "The Russians are now integrating the Turks!" However, it is not a method of winning over Huairou, but a method of national integration of Genghis Khan. ”

"Father, you mean ......"

"The greatest pleasure of a man is to subdue the rebels, to defeat the enemy, and to take all that he has. rode his horse, and accepted his beautiful wife and concubine. ”

Uh, why are you talking about it and talking about beautiful wives and concubines? Prince Zhu's cheeks were slightly red, probably thinking of a certain fourteen or fifteen-year-old Japanese girl, who was the concubine of a certain branch of the Mito Tokugawa family, and now she has become the prince's choice of attendants - it is impossible to be the crown princess, and the crown princess is the future queen. The bloodline is very particular, and it is impossible to choose a woman of foreign origin.

And according to the "King James Ming Imperial Family Model", the eldest son born to the queen is the natural heir to the throne!

Emperor Zhu's rule here is to establish a successor but not a virtuous. The prince who came out of the concubine could be an official, a businessman, or a soldier, but he could never inherit the throne. Unless, in the absence of a grandchild, a concubine becomes the eldest son through adoption...... In short, the matter of succession to the throne is in Zhu Jishi's view. It is not about whether the prince is talented or not, but about doing a good job of the rules, and determining the title as soon as possible, so that the descendants will not kill each other in order to compete for the throne!

As for the emperor's inability, it is not a problem at all, and now the Ming Empire is taking the road of constitutional monarchy, and the emperor's political responsibilities and powers will only become smaller and smaller.

In addition, so that the succession to the throne has rules to follow and laws to follow, and it can also liberate the descendants of the royal family who are not qualified to inherit the throne. Let them go into politics, business, and the military. In the future, it can become the emperor's wing. Nowadays, the royal families of European countries do this.

The former Ming Dynasty broke the rules since Zhu Di seized the heir, and as a result, the last thing that generations of kings believed in was their blood relatives. can only raise Zhu Yuanzhang's children and grandchildren as pigs.

Zhu Jishi also ignored his son's thoughts and took another breath. He said in a deep voice: "Emperor, don't think that Genghis Khan's words have nothing to do with national integration. In fact, the question of national integration is largely a question of who to sleep with! Since ancient times, the national attributes have been based on the father and not the mother (the rules of a certain party in later generations are different). They Mongols took other people's wives and concubines, and the dolls born were of course Mongols. Otherwise, how could Mongolia, a small steppe people, grow to such a point in the generations after Genghis Khan? This is the trick to stealing wives and daughters! ”

And this statement? Zhu Guoxiong and Weng Tongrong were a little stunned.

Zhu Jishi continued to peddle his theory: "And when a woman chooses a husband, she always has to consider the property status of her husband's family, and the higher the status, the more property, the easier it is to possess wives and concubines." ”

It's true! Zhu Guoxiong and Weng Tongyi both nodded. Zhu Jishi said again: "And the more wives and concubines you have, the more children and grandchildren you can naturally have." And when a nation becomes the ruling nation, their men can certainly have more wealth and higher status than the ruled nation, and the easier it is to obtain the right to marry and reproduce!

And the people who are ruled, because of the plundering of a large number of women, the reproduction of the population will naturally become a problem, and the number will naturally become smaller and smaller, and after a few generations, they will either become extinct or become insignificant small peoples. For example, the Indians of the Americas, who used to be a large race with a population of 40 to 50 million, may now have only a few million pure Indians left, while the mixed race with Indian blood has become the mainstream in most countries in Central and South America. These Indo-European people are basically descendants of white fathers and Indian mothers. It was by this method that the whites gradually exterminated the race of Indians who had submitted to them.

The same is now true for Russians who have submitted to Turkey or other races that have previously believed in the true God...... This is how they Russians have always treated their conquered peoples. First they changed their faith and seized their wealth, then they destroyed their written history, and finally they took possession of their wives and daughters. This is how countless failed races in history have gone to extinction, no, to merge! ”

In fact, the Russian nation, which was no more than a small nation in Eastern Europe earlier, rapidly swelled into the largest nation in Europe in the hundreds of years after its rise, with a population of more than 100 million before its demise! However, only a few million Poles remained in Eastern Europe, and the Mongol race, which had ruled over the Russians, was almost wiped out......

"Then ...... the Annan and Borneo natives," Zhu Guoxiong suddenly thought of a question, "and the Japanese and Koreans, what will happen to them in the future?" ”

Zhu Jishi smiled slightly: "Of course it's ethnic integration!" Patrilineal lineages that are in a weak position are always replaced by patrilineal bloodlines that are in a dominant position. At least this is the case among agrarian societies and nomadic peoples. There are very few pure Borneo natives nowadays. And among the Nanyang races, those who give in to our Ming can naturally only struggle at the bottom, and the results can be imagined.

As for the Japanese and Koreans, the situation is better, but there are still many Japanese and Korean women who have become Han wives and concubines in recent years. The reverse is not very much. Oh, and in the future, they will improve when they integrate into China. After all, the Japanese and Korean races are also hard-working and progressive races. Speaking of this, he seemed to be a little emotional, "I think that I have sunk twice in China, and I can still protect the race, I can only say that God blesses me!" (To be continued)
