Chapter 463: Thunder, rain and dew, all are Jun'en
Regarding the issue of Daming's foreign trade, Zhu Youxiao has also been thinking about it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe problem now is that those barbarians don't have any goods to export to the Ming Dynasty.
The foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty only earned back gold.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty wanted Zheng He to go to the West seven times in the past was to try to start the global trade in the agricultural era again. In the past, global trade was carried out by nomadic people who sold Chinese silk and porcelain to Europe, and then exchanged them for precious metals. At the same time, the Europeans exported silk and porcelain to India and exchanged them for spices.
In turn, China exported silk, porcelain and other goods, while Europeans were responsible for exporting gold, and Indians exported spices.
Whether it is the Khitan, the Jurchen, or the Mongol or the wild boar skin, they are all a kind of trade and military community, and they are not any nation. This kind of military trade community is all about money and food. As long as they can get more grain from China, they can feed more people, and they will be able to control the grasslands and gain the power position of the grassland overlord.
The globalization of trade in the agricultural era reached its peak in the Song Dynasty.
At first, the Arabs controlled the circulation, and the Arabs fooled the Europeans that nutmeg grows on the bird's nest, and to get these nutmeg, you have to use the meat to lure those birds, and the birds keep moving the meat to the bird's nest, and then crush the bird's nest to get nutmeg, so ah! How precious this spice is!
There are many more such stories, and the Arabs are about to fool the Europeans.
Later, the Arabs met their nemesis, the Mongols, who became the group that mastered the transit of trade. Then the Great Song Empire was dumbfounded, and they first supported the Jurchens to fight the Khitan, and then they supported the Mongols to fight the Jurchens. When the Mongols came up, they found that there was no strength left to support them.
After the Mongols were driven out by the Ming Dynasty, this globalized trade was interrupted. Therefore, the Ming court tried to transport the goods out by itself, which led to Zheng He's seven trips to the West.
However, later the court discovered that those barbarians had no goods to trade with China, and a pile of gold was essentially inedible, just a metal. And the commodities of my heavenly kingdom are created by the labor of the common people, isn't this an open robbery?
Because it didn't feel cost-effective, the sea trade was stopped.
Now that Zhu Youxiao has reopened the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty, he has also encountered this problem. The question of whether to exchange the goods of the Ming Dynasty for the precious metals of Westerners is a question that needs to be considered.
Zhu Youxiao finally felt that he should continue to exchange for those precious metals.
After all, precious metals are limited, and this kind of thing will be hard currency in the world for a long time in the future, concentrated in the hands of the imperial court, and Westerners will not have so many possibilities for development in the future. In general, there is no money, poverty, and industrial equipment cannot be afforded.
And now that the Ming Dynasty has a steam engine, the productivity of industrial commodities has been greatly improved, and many industrial commodities can be manufactured quickly, and those industrial commodities are exchanged for precious metals in the hands of Westerners, and it does not need to consume too much people's power.
Although those barbarians don't have many commodities to trade with the Ming Dynasty, they have abundant industrial raw materials and can export raw materials, grain and other resources to the Ming Dynasty!
The purpose of Zhu Youxiao's immigration overseas was also to obtain more raw materials, food, cash crops and other resources, so as to support the industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, there is no big problem with Zhu Youxiao's current foreign policy.
"Now the Ming Dynasty, as long as he concentrates on developing trade. In terms of expansion, in the future, it is enough to eat North America and Siberia. Zhu Youxiao suddenly had a plan in his heart, "As for the technological blockade, it is only necessary to block the most advanced technology, and other technologies can also be blocked, but even if the Europeans obtain these technologies, the threat to China is not great." ”
The world only needs one production center, one industrial country, and that is China. Even if the Europeans get the technical information, as long as the Ming manufacturing industry is still there, they will not be able to become a manufacturing center, which is determined by factors such as culture and population. Just like after the completion of the industrial revolution in China, China has a tendency to become the world's only industrial country.
In the era of agricultural globalization, China is the only production center in the world. Since ancient times, China has been a productive empire, playing the role of a production center.
Later, the boar skin came in and destroyed the productive empire, which gave the Europeans a chance. After all, at that time, China no longer played the role of a production center, so it naturally needed to be transferred. Indians, who only know how to export deception and have low manufacturing capabilities, are obviously unable to take on this role, so Europeans, who have absorbed China's ideas and technology, have become the best candidates.
And then gave birth to the achievement of modern civilization.
The father of modern civilization is Huaxia, and Mongolia is equivalent to the best of China to inject the essence into Europe, which ended the dark Middle Ages in Europe and triggered the cultural revival movement.
Historically, the East has always been a place that Westerners yearn for, because there is a father of modern civilization. As a result, when I ran to the east, I saw that my father's palace had been turned into a pig's nest by wild boar skin, and my dream was shattered. So they say that wild boar skins are barbarians, so they have to fight wild boar skins. Japan, the abandoned son of China, also said that wild boar skin is barbarian, and wild boar skin must also be beaten.
The reason why wild boar skin was able to rise was essentially a product of the failure of the capitalist revolution of the Ming Dynasty. Capitalism wanted to replace the feudal monarchy, but the wall was dug up and crushed to death. If a large country wants to be the first to complete the capitalist revolution, the chances of defeat are very high. Unlike a country like the United Kingdom, which is an island country in its own right, the internal situation is not as complicated as China's.
Therefore, the British were able to successfully complete the capitalist revolution, while the capitalist revolution in China failed because the situation was too complicated.
Wild boar skin is a barbarian within the establishment, and the wild boar skin was originally a slave of the Koreans. Ming Taizu saw that the wild boar skins were doing too badly, so he included the wild boar skins in the management of the Ming Dynasty, so that they would no longer be slaves to the Koreans. Then, in order to balance the Mongols, just like the Song Dynasty, they began to support wild boar skins to counter the Mongols.
As a result, the wild boar skin developed to a certain extent, but it helped Mongolia to fight the Ming Dynasty.
The military group of the Ming Dynasty, in order to raise their own respect, let go of the development of wild boar skin. When the wild boar skin was weak, build a wall for the wild boar skin, and let the wild boar skin burn and develop on the other side of the wall, similar to the later Trump wanted to build a wall on the Mexican border.
When the wild boar skin developed to a certain extent, the wall was demolished again, and the wild boar skin continued to burn and loot.
In addition, those military groups asked the court for silver to maintain stability, and on the other hand, they did business with wild boar skins, and both sides made money.
Yuan Chonghuan is also a typical traitor, he molded Chongzhen's pulse, disguised himself as a hot-blooded young man, and said that he could destroy the wild boar skin in three or five years, Chongzhen was stupid to believe it. took out all the military salaries of the nine sides and handed them to Yuan Chonghuan, but Yuan Chonghuan immediately started to do business with wild boar skins after he went up, and also helped wild boar skins kill Mao Wenlong, a big henchman.
On the other hand, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi, and the border army had no military salary, so they could only rob the rich people, and as a result, they were out of control and directly evolved into a large number of thieves with military literacy.
As for those who really contribute to the country, they don't have the money, which means that there is no logistics and there are not so many people.
In addition, those Donglin parties are political advisers to the financial oligarchs in Jiangnan, and the civil and military generals are unreliable, and Chongzhen quickly defeated the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Youxiao was reborn, he avoided taking Chongzhen's old path, and now the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan financial oligarchy have been destroyed by him.
Those big salt merchants and Jin merchants who collaborated with the enemy were also copied by Zhu Youxiao, those who should be exiled, and those who should be beheaded were beheaded.
Now the civil and official group of the imperial court is united around the state-owned capital consortium of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao is equivalent to the 'leading big brother'.
However, the liquidation of the military bloc has never been carried out.
Zhu Youxiao has basically stabilized the situation in the entire country now, and he immediately set his sights on those military attachés. Those military attachés used to raise their own dignity, trade with the enemy, and plunder the region.
One by one, they all got into the eyes of money, and it is estimated that there is a lot of oil and water on their bodies.
Zhu Youxiao did not liquidate these military interest groups before, mainly for the purpose of stability, but now it is time to liquidate them.
Those military attache groups are now grasshoppers after the autumn, and none of them can run the rhythm.
Zhu Youxiao has rarely been to the court recently, that is, he only went to the early court in ten days and half a month, and the ministers entered the palace to meet him when he handled government affairs. He was busy asking Jinyiwei and Dongchang to secretly investigate the list of military interest groups.
The problem of officers and troops in the northeast region is the greatest, and those military attaches basically have problems.
and Li Chengliang, the old thing that has been hung up for more than ten years, was the first to be included in the liquidation list by Zhu Youxiao. Li Chengliang is Nurhachi's godfather, and the routine of raising Kou and self-respect is made up by this guy, and then drags the nation into the dark abyss step by step.
In the spring of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, when the mountains were full of flowers and the grass was growing and the warblers were flying, Dongchang and Jinyiwei went out again and began to take people and raid homes everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.
Under Zhu Youxiao's holy decree, the entire military interest group in Northeast China was wiped out in an instant. One after another, the military attachés were controlled by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and then turned on the mode of raiding the house.
At the same time, Zhu Youxiao issued another holy decree -- to completely abolish the nine sides.
Since then, the border army of the Ming Dynasty has become a historical term and officially withdrew from the stage. Jiubian had been almost eliminated before, and there was only one Liaodong Town left.
And the one who was liquidated the most was the military attache of Liaodong Town, most of the military attachés had problems, and they were simply rotten. Almost all military attachés were controlled and examined by the factory guards, and they were sent to military academies for further study without any problems. The big problem is to raid the house, ask for beheading, and exile.
Zhu Youxiao also made those military attaches in Liaodong Town feel a hand, what is called 'thunder and rain and dew, all are Jun'en', when he exterminated the wild boar skin a while ago, Zhu Youxiao also rewarded them lavishly, which will stabilize the northeast, and the thunderous liquidation will fall on their heads.
