150 The gap between ideal and reality
In another time and space, the inexplicable emperor eunuch clique who failed and died in the power struggle used their own blood to prove how powerful the deep-rooted corrupt clique was; The corrupt Confucian clique who sold the country have been servants under the crotch of the Manchu Tartars for more than 200 years before they realized the benefits of being the masters of their own country.

In this time and space, the bourgeoisie has gradually grown stronger, and the traces of fighting to the end for its own vital interests in the struggle again and again are also engraved on the long scroll of history.
In 1672, when the first bourgeois revolution broke out in the Ming Empire, 20 people including the capitalist Zhao Deyi secretly gathered and bribed the commander of the garrison stationed in the Forbidden City to launch an attack during the meeting. The scene was so chaotic that soldiers opened fire on the Imperial Palace, killing and wounding 73 imperial officials attending the meeting.
In July of the same year, Zhao Deyi and 20 other people hijacked the emperor's cabinet of more than 130 people and were all arrested, and the scholar landlord class was restored. In August of that year, the number of businessmen, officials, and their families implicated in the incident rose to 10,000, and the emperor was forced to stop the matter and announce that he would not pursue the case further.
This later led to a "capitalist compromise", in which the emperor announced the hiring of capitalists as advisers to consult on matters relating to industrial and commercial construction. This incident finally gave the bourgeoisie a non-spokesperson voice at the top of the state for the first time.
In 1701, Bao Dagang, the first minister of the cabinet, led his bureaucrats and ministers, fearing the growth of the bourgeoisie in the court, took the lead in attacking. Seven court officials, including the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, who had a bourgeois background, were reported for "improper births". At the behest of the emperor, who was eager to regain imperial power, Jin Yiwei arrested the seven men and secretly executed two of them.
Subsequently, the emerging capital chaebols who controlled the development of new colonies such as Ceylon in India suddenly attacked, gathered 30 infantry divisions of colonial troops from all over the country, and launched the "Battle of King Qin" from all directions to the core of the Ming Empire. Seventy-seven days later, the emperor of the Ming Empire issued an edict of guilt, and the battle of King Qin ended.
At this time, it was the second expedition of the Ming Empire to Britain, and the fleet bypassed Africa and fought a decisive battle in Gibraltar with the British navy, which had concentrated the strength of the whole country and the entire fleet to meet the Ming Navy. Because of this civil turmoil, the expeditionary Daming Naval Division was completely wiped out in the distant Atlantic, and also gave the British Navy an undefeated myth with a crushing defeat.
At the end of the same year, the Ming Empire announced the abolition of the household registration system that had continued since the founding of the country, and officially allowed farmers, soldiers, craftsmen, scholars and other people except "Qinglou practitioners" to participate in the imperial examination and have equal rights as citizens of the Ming Empire. Ten years later, the Ming Empire promulgated the Ming Citizenship Act, which legally recognized that everyone was equal except for individual privileges as the emperor as the "Son of Heaven".

One event after another, starting from the Emperor of the Apocalypse to the current new emperor Zhu Mu's accession to the throne, has never stopped. This was even the case when the armies of the Ming Empire fought fiercely in Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. With the changes again and again, the Ming Empire became more and more enlightened and powerful, and the industrial revolution became more and more thorough, but those lands that were once conquered were lost piece by piece.
No one felt a pity that because of the limitations of transportation capacity, most of the locally produced resources could not really be effectively used by the Ming Empire. As for immigrating to those barren, backward and even barbaric places, only the Emperor of the Apocalypse found it feasible in the Ming Empire.
Land for nothing? Joke! To whom do those places grow food and sell it to those places that are deserted? How to ship it out? How much does it cost to ship it out?
Tax deductions? Joke! It was the land that had just been defeated, and one day the enemy came back, and my family moved over to the past, how could the old and the young live?
Forced eviction? Joke! My family has lived here for generations, and it has not reached the point where it is impossible to live, and you say that I will answer the call when I leave my hometown?
In addition, who will sweep the graves of the ancestors, and who will pay tribute to the tablets of the clan? Is there really so much land in the desert jungle? Carrying food along the way, as short as months or years, and crossing seas and even oceans if you are not in trouble, who can guarantee that you will not die on the road?
Who knows how many bandits and bullies have been born in the real history, and who knows how many Shandong men have buried their bones in other places? Which of the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign immigration policies is not chaotic or even bloody? The kind of people who say that hundreds of thousands or even millions of immigrants will be deployed when they say they will be deployed, they will not be able to see the vast army of returnees on the Spring Festival train -- it is difficult to leave their homeland!
Not to mention that those emperors after the Apocalypse don't have that kind of anti-heaven skill, let's just say that the Emperor of the Apocalypse himself doesn't have the kind of golden finger that can control everyone. He had no way to get millions of people to relocate to the cold Liaodong Tunken, no way to let millions of people cross the ocean to Greater Luzon and Japan, and even no way to influence those feudal officials who were far away in the world.
In line with the idea of the emperor and the queen of heaven and the king of the world, the rotten Confucians disobeyed the order of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to cut down and eliminate the Japanese; The capitalists, because cheap labor could cut costs, also covered up the use of Japanese slaves in large numbers. The Emperor of the Apocalypse had always thought that the governor he sent to Japan was firmly carrying out his order to slaughter and reduce the Japanese, but those who were "eliminated" were kept in captivity and sent to the dark mines to accumulate their anger.
What the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't know was that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty had not experienced September 18, 1931, nor July 7, 1937, and they did not expect that their children and grandchildren would be killed by bayonets under the city of Nanjing, nor did they expect that after the Ceylon rebellion, Japan would also rebel against the Ming Dynasty......
Man is not a machine after all, and man is not a real devil after all. When an order is too bizarre or even unjustified, and challenges the humanity of all people, the Han people, a highly civilized ethnic group, cannot turn themselves into beasts. Of course, if the soldiers and generals of the Apocalypse Emperor knew that Japan would rebel, they might not be relentless.
Unfortunately, in 1627 the Japanese were too groveling, too submissive, too cheap and industrious - so that the occupiers of the Ming Empire really couldn't find a reason to kill them, and there were even high-level people at the time who considered the Japanese to be the best slaves in the world.
