The Ming Empire now implements the north and south capital system, but unlike the former Ming Dynasty since the Ming Dynasty began to "guard the country", Zhu Jishi's Ming Empire has expanded not like words, regardless of the north and south Kyoto is far away from the country. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Therefore, when Zhu Jishi chose the first national capital, he considered more about controlling the country's economic lifeline. Now the Ming Dynasty is based on industry and commerce, and China's industrial and commercial center has undoubtedly been the land of water towns in the south of the Yangtze River since the Song Dynasty crossed to the south. Therefore, the center of the Ming Dynasty's reign is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties on the Yangtze River, and the prosperous city of Nanjing.

Although there are also many people who believe that most of the dynasties that have set the capital of Jinling since ancient times are peaceful, even the former Ming Dynasty also had a difficult battle, so it is recommended that Emperor Zhu establish a new capital in the precipitous place of the Guanhe River in the north. However, Zhu Jishi knew very well that the future era belonged to the business elite and the working class, and the struggle between the two would be the main content of the domestic political life of the Ming Dynasty. As the supreme ruler, he must sit in the economic center and the industrial and commercial land, and must not hide in some remote place with a steep river. If the industrial and commercial center in the southeast is in chaos, it will not be safe to hide wherever the son of tomorrow is.

When Emperor Zhu's old lover, the Empress Mathilde I of the Mexican Empire, sailed into the golden waterway of the Yangtze River. The southeast industrial and commercial town of Daming is in a prosperous situation. The waterway from Nanjing to Shanghai was full of ships full of merchant goods, most of them sail-driven, but there were also many steamboats emitting black smoke.

After almost 20 years of shipbuilding, the Nanyang Shipbuilding Company's engine factory has been able to produce relatively advanced steam engines, even reciprocating steam engines with an output of more than 3,000 horsepower used in steam sailing ships of five or six thousand tons. However, compared with the British Empire, there is still a little gap, the British have already built a reciprocating steam engine with an output of more than 5,000 horsepower, enough to drive nearly 10,000 tons of ironclad ships - even if Zhu Jishi has ordered someone to secretly copy all the technical data in the Jason Central Laboratory and transport it back to Nanjing, but there is still no way to make the industrial technology of the Ming Dynasty ahead of Europe.

Therefore, the real trouble caused by Britain's * disaster theory to the Ming Dynasty was not in the military, but in increasing the difficulty for the Ming Dynasty to obtain advanced European technology. Therefore, friendship with France and the Roman Empire was still extremely necessary at present.

This is also the reason why Mathilde I was received ceremoniously at the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing.

The cold winter wind carried the moisture of the Yangtze River onto the docks, making Empress Mathilde, who had become accustomed to the warm climate of Mexico, feel a little uncomfortable. This is her second visit to China, and the first time she has set foot in Nanjing, the world capital of the East.

Standing on the port deck of the Mathilde, she looked curiously at the city built along the river, and her first impression was that it was large. The empire with the largest territory in the world deserves the largest capital! Mathilde thought.

The second impression is that of industry. Before arriving in Shimonoseki, she had looked out from the deck over the chimney-lined Jiangnan Industrial Zone. There were almost more factories there than in London – London in 1855, of course, after which Mathilde I had not been to England again.

The third impression is naturally that there are more people! Now Zhu Jishi rules over nearly 600 million people, and Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai are the three most populous cities in the Ming Empire, and the population of the metropolitan areas of the three cities alone is more than 1 million, of which the population of Nanjing City has exceeded 2 million in one fell swoop with the advantage of political and economic double centers! Become one of the most populous cities in the world.

At this time, the citizens of Nanjing, who crowded on the dock to welcome the "white empress" from the Mexican Empire, were even more crowded. The atmosphere was extremely warm, and it seemed that the dispute between the "* disaster" and the "white disaster" did not affect the Ming Dynasty much.

And our Emperor Zhu, at this time, with a vote of civil and military ministers, under the escort of a whole regiment of brocade guards, personally came to greet him. Although some people in Europe are shouting about the "theory of misfortune", some people give him a trick to use the "theory of white evil" to fight back. But Zhu Jishi has been pretending to be deaf and dumb. He actually likes whiteskins a lot...... Women, both Maria and Mathilde, are very fond of them, so there is no hostility towards the white race. Moreover, the two big *oss of the white world in later generations have been brought down by Emperor Zhu by trying to find a way. In Europe and the United States, France and Britain are evenly matched. Although the "theory of disaster" set off by Britain this time takes China as the target, it is France that really has to deal with it. At the beginning, Emperor Zhu didn't quite understand, but now he is really a fool if he can't see it clearly.

However, there were also accidents, and the Mexican Empire ruled by Mathilde actually jumped to the fore in the face of the disaster. Holding high the sign of "Yellow Indians" has the potential to unite the poor middle peasants and white landlords of Latin America in the class struggle! Mathilde himself visited China...... This is to show the unity of the two yellow empires for people to see! This woman's political skills are getting better and better.

Zhu Jishi praised his woman in his heart for a while, how did he know that Mathilde was actually led by the nose by her prime minister, Juarez. The Mexican-Indian Empire was all created by this Indian politician...... Speaking of which, it's also a personal masterpiece! Mathilde is really lucky to have this prime minister, and in the same way, Juarez also has to meet the master, and now he has brought down the mountain of the United States that is pressing on the head of Mexico, and Mexico will not be able to say if it does not rise up.

At this time, "Long live the Empress!" Long live Mingmo friendship! The shouts shook the earth. I saw the Mexican Empress waving as she stepped off the ship's gangplank.

Zhu Jishi took the lead in a few big strides, shook hands with Empress Mathilde vigorously in front of everyone, kissed her cheek, and then said with a smile: "Marty (Zhu Jishi's nickname for her), this dock is too cold, let's not blow the wind here, let's go to the Hot Spring Palace together." That's my new home, not close to Nanjing. If there's anything to say, let's talk about it on the way. ”

Mathilde smiled and nodded, where is Emperor Zhu greeting a visiting foreign head of state, he completely regards himself as a long-lost lover, and is in a hurry to go to the hot spring palace to bathe with him, right? But she also doesn't like the red tape in the cold, damp wind. So he smiled and said, "Jason, then let's hurry up and get into the carriage, seriously, your capital is really a bit clammy and cold, very similar to London." ”

Zhu Jishi smiled, turned around and waved at Zuo Zongtang and Guo Songtao, who accompanied him to the pier, and let the two of them get into the same carriage with himself and Mathilde, and without holding any flag-raising and military parades, they went to the Hot Spring Palace.

"Jason, the Emperor of France proposed a plan to exchange French Annan for new Japan, do you think it is possible to achieve it?" As soon as the wheels rolled, Mathilde couldn't wait to get down to business, "You know what? Now Europe's * disaster theory is getting hotter and hotter! ”

Zhu Jishi laughed: "*Woe is *woe*, anyway, there is more than one * disaster in Da Ming now...... Sooner or later, Europeans will get used to these statements. ”

Mathilde was stunned for a moment, and when she left San Francisco, Juárez had not yet delivered the speech in the lower house of the Mexican Imperial Congress, which characterized Mexico as a yellow empire. So Mathilde didn't know until now that she was already a "white traitor" in the British mouth.

"Don't you really care about being hostile to the whole world?" Mathilde asked again with a frown.

"No, no, not with the whole world, because you're still standing by my side." Emperor Zhu said affectionately to the empress.

Mathilde's cheeks flushed, and he glanced at the two red-robed and black-gauze officials in the carriage...... How could Zhu Jishi say love words in front of them? The guy surnamed Guo was an ambassador to the United Kingdom, and he seems to be able to understand some French! As if to confirm that he knew French, Guo Songtao opened his mouth to speak in French when the empress blushed.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Empress, I think that the two major yellow empires in the world should further strengthen cooperation and unity at this time when the most serious theories are rampant, and they can even sign an alliance treaty to replace the "Five-Power Treaty", which has actually lost its effect."

Mathilde was stunned again, "What? The empire of the two yellow races!? ”r1152
