“…… It is a great country, with 600 million industrious and brave people, and an extremely brilliant and long-standing civilization. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 For at least 2,500 of the last 3,000 years, the country was the most advanced and wealthy empire in the world, and once led Europe in darkness.

Although this empire, like many ancient civilizations, once sank, her fall was extremely short-lived. This is because the Chinese nation, more than any other ancient nation in the world, is good at learning and accepting advanced affairs. Over the past 16 years, the country has made remarkable achievements. From a closed and backward medieval country, it has become one of the most powerful empires in the world.

It was nothing short of a miracle that in just a dozen years she had a well-governed central and local government, and like the most advanced countries in Europe, she promulgated a constitution, opened a parliament, enacted various laws to promote trade and protect the development of industry and commerce, established a central bank, and issued a currency that could be circulated throughout the East. Moreover, the Chinese government has also invested heavily in modern education and compulsory education, established dozens of universities that are considered first-class in Europe, and trained countless outstanding talents.

Under the guidance of these outstanding talents, huge investment, abundant and almost unlimited resources, and a huge market, China's industrial construction can be described as a thousand miles in a day. In China, tens of thousands of factories have been built in Shanghai, Yingtian, Guangzhou and Liaoyang, where chimneys are built over the past decade. Day and night, black smoke is emitted that symbolizes industrialization. Almost obscured the sky. It is home to the world's largest steel mills, shipyards, arsenals, and chemical manufacturing plants. Other than that. The Chinese also mined the world's largest coal and iron mines, and built the world's longest railway. There is no doubt that this country will soon become the largest industrial country in the world, and in 10 or 20 years, they will surpass Britain, and in 50 years at most, they will leave the whole of Europe behind!

But what is most worth learning from the whole of Europe is that the Chinese government has spent more than a decade. A system of national mobilization that has been built step by step. Such a large country, such a large population, is being united and organized by an extremely efficient government, forming an unimaginable force. In the event of war in China, 10% of their 600 million people, or 60 million people, will be mobilized to form an army in a maximum of 12 months! Of course, this figure is only theoretical, not that the Chinese are incapable of mobilizing so many people. But the armies of all the countries of the world combined, they cannot withstand half of the 60 million bayonets. Can't even resist a quarter......

This is truly the most prosperous and powerful empire in the history of mankind! Compared to it, the glory of the British Empire. The glory of France and Rome, as well as the former majesty of the Russian Empire, are not worth mentioning, even the Mongol Empire, which swept the world back then. Oh, by the way, the current ruler of China, the Emperor Guangfu of the Ming Dynasty, has a Mongolian crown on his head - Tengger Khan, which translates to "Heavenly Khan!" “

―――――――― August 21, 1863, The Times featured, The Empire of the Heavenly Khan.

When Zhu Jishi heard this article full of beautiful words, he was eating breakfast in Tangshan Hot Spring Palace, and the breakfast was very list, a bowl of rice porridge, a plate of eggs, a plate of fried dough sticks, and a plate of pickled melons. Accompanying him to breakfast was the woman who slept last night, Miko Okubo, who had run out of breakfast, so Zhu Jishi asked her to read a summary of the newspaper to herself--this was sorted out by the imperial study and sent to Zhu Jishi to read, all of which were excerpts from important newspapers at home and abroad, so that the emperor could understand the major events in the world. Among them, the foreign newspapers are the main newspapers of Britain, France, and Prussia, and they are the main texts sent back by the embassies of the Ming Dynasty in these three countries directly by telegram, and they are also in the original language. A graduate of Jeseki University School of Medicine, Okubo is fluent in English and French, but cannot read German. And she is now reading the Times article to Zhu Jishi in English.

The article is very good, it doesn't sound like "The Times", but like "Ta Kung Pao" run by Zhu Jishi himself, which specializes in saying good things about himself. But Zhu Jishi's brows became tighter and tighter, not that he didn't like to listen to good words, but that there were too many articles touting the Ming Empire and himself in European newspapers during this time!

Emperor Zhu thought to himself that although he was indeed a very powerful generation of Tianjiao, and the Ming Empire was now extremely powerful imperialism, the newspapers of the Europeans liked to find fault rather than pat on the back. This is especially true for the Eastern Empire of the Ming Dynasty, and it is rare to say good things about yourself for a long time. This is a bit of an anomaly!

"Don't read it!" Emperor Zhu put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Go and invite the Imperial Concubine Maria to my study." ”

……

When Zhu Jishi rushed to his imperial study. Maria. Clementina had been waiting at the door for a while. Dressed in a black Western-style riding outfit, she sits on a couch and is chatting in French with a bubbly beautiful little Lori dressed exactly like her. This mixed-race Lori is Zhu Yisha, the daughter of Emperor Zhu and Maria, and her Western name is Isabella. This year is 13 years old, slim and elegant, with a bit of charm between the eyebrows and eyes, and when she grows up, she must be the same as her mother, she is a goblin who is fascinated by death, I heard that there are already many precocious aristocratic children in the Imperial City Public School who are fascinated by her. Seeing Zhu Jishi arriving in a hurry, Maria and Zhu Yisha quickly stood up and curtshit. Zhu Jishi smiled and nodded at his daughter, "Isabel, have you learned to ride a horse?" “

"Father, my daughter has long been able to ride a horse, and today I also had a horse race with Concubine Ao." The little girl looked excited and said proudly, "I still won." “

Concubine Ao is Oyuntana, the Mongolian princess of Zhu Jishi, although she has been in the palace for more than ten years, but she has not put down her kung fu on a horse. Clementina has a good relationship. Under their influence, Zhu Yisha also became a master of equestrianism.

"Oh, so you're making rapid progress in your equestrian skills." Zhu Jishi looked at his daughter with a smile, "But don't patronize and play, and pay attention to your homework." It's the end of August now, have all your summer homework been completed? You're a middle school student now, uh, in the third year of middle school, right? In a few years, I will have to take the entrance examination to Jishi University, but it is not easy to take the exam, you have to work hard! “

These words were often on the lips of Zhu Jishi's parents in later generations, and now he said them to his children as they were. However, when did Emperor Zhu, who was busy with state affairs and beautiful concubines all day long, ever care about the education of children other than the crown prince? Naturally, I can't remember how good his high-IQ daughter's academic performance was. It only took 7 years to study the fifth grade of the middle school of the Imperial City Public School (now the primary school of Daming is still four years, the middle school is divided into elementary and higher education is six years together, and the middle school of the Imperial City Public School is six years without junior high and high school), and after this summer vacation, it is the sixth grade of middle school, and by this time next year, you can be admitted to Jishi University - of course it is impossible to fail the examination......

Zhu Yisha pursed her lips a little helplessly, and curtsy Zhu Jishi again, "Father, my daughter has gone to review her homework, so I won't disturb you and my mother." “

Zhu Jishi saw that his daughter was a little unhappy, and thought that she really didn't finish her summer homework, so he nodded and let her leave. Then he beckoned to Maria and walked into the study. Maria glanced at her daughter's back, shook her head, and followed, sitting down face to face with Zhu Jishi.

Zhu Jishi handed Maria the summary of the newspaper sent by the imperial study, and frowned slightly: "You take a look at this first." ”

Maria took the summary and read it carefully, then hesitated: "Your Majesty, these Western newspapers tout you and China so much...... Isn't it the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Imperial Consortium that spent money? (To be continued.) )
