"Who is the best colt in history?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang stared at Tang Yunsheng and asked in a daze. …… He thought to himself: I am the one who can't speak.

唐云生 says:

"I am the best horse in the history of the Ming Dynasty, the time is not far away, but it is a matter of the time of the first emperor, more than 30 years ago. The younger sister of the first emperor and the little aunt of His Majesty today, the eldest princess of Nanping, was still the eldest princess at the time, and married the eldest son of the Earl of Changshan, the 6th Viscount of Fengfeng at that time. Quite right, do you know who the 6 selectors are? ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang has only heard of 6 Chengfeng. But he knocked on his head and laughed:

"Huh...... Who's coming? 6 Selective ...... Such a familiar name, I seem to have seen it in some book...... Can't remember. ”

Tang Yunsheng Zhengsedao:

"This man is not a small person, you have to remember. He is now the second-generation head of the 6's Metal Group, the largest tungsten metal smelting and tungsten products manufacturer in the Ming Dynasty and the world's largest, known as the 'tungsten steel king'. I am famous for many industrial empires, such as Zheng's Minerals, Lianfeng, Qishun, Taiping Ji, Hengfu Lathe...... and so on, all of which have a lot of business dealings with 6's metal. He was still a young proprietor at the time. His father was given the title of Earl for his creation of the '6 Metals', which made a significant contribution to the defense industry and the national economy. But not hereditary, but descending. His eldest son was demoted to the rank of viscount. ”

"Oh......" Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled, "This 6 selection of fronts is the most bullish horse in the history of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Tang Yunsheng said with a smile:

"Why, you thought he could marry a princess, not a prince, at least a nobleman of a hundred-year-old family, right? No. The family is from a merchant family, and he is a low-class nobleman for twenty years at most. You know, thirty years ago, the Ming high society didn't look down on this kind of person. At that time, they were all nobles and nobles, and 6 families were like this, and everyone was a 'tyrant'. Because the constitutional restoration of the Ming Dynasty has not been long ago, from the princes to the common people, the concepts are still very traditional. Although this kind of emerging industrialists and financiers have a net worth of millions or tens of millions, and have made great contributions to the national economy and industrial prosperity, their social status is actually not high, and any scholar can look down on them. Even when the royal family bestowed them titles, the traditional high society still regarded them as tyrants.

"To say that I'm always a woman who doesn't let me shave my eyebrows. At that time, the first emperor had just ascended the throne and was still very young. A lot of things were decided by his mother, the Empress Dowager Hyohui, the grandmother of His Majesty today. Although the Empress Dowager Xiaohui herself was also from a noble family, she was one of the noble ladies who studied in the West in the Ming Dynasty, and she was very knowledgeable. She believes that if the social status of these new industrialists is not raised as soon as possible, then the industrialization and capitalization process of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly slowed down, and maybe it will slowly return to the previous era of 'buying houses and land when you have money'. At that time, the Wuxu Reform Law of the Northern Qing Dynasty was also in full swing, and if the Ming Dynasty fell behind, it would be disastrous. Therefore, the Empress Dowager Xiaohui is ready to select a group of emerging industrialists who have contributed the most to the national economy and are the most representative, and then let the children of the royal family marry their children.

"At the beginning, none of the imperial relatives of the Zhu family and the Zheng family were willing to marry those 'tyrants' who smelled of copper. But this kind of thing can't be forced, so the Empress Dowager Xiaohui started from herself and gave her daughter Princess Nanping to the young head of the '6 Metals' - 6 Viscount Feng as his wife. According to tradition, after the princess is married, the concubine must be crowned. 6 Xuanfeng was named 'Marquis of Tongling' from that time, and his title was higher than his Lao Tzu. This is amazing, it can be called an earth-shattering shock. The other relatives of the emperor saw that even the emperor's own sister could marry into the door of those new industrialists, who would dare to call them 'tyrants'? Soon, many children of the aristocracy married the children of the new industrialists of the burgher class. It was from that time that the social status of these industrialists and financiers of the burgher class quickly increased. Originally, the talents who just wanted to be officials with sharp heads gradually became keen on entrepreneurship and were willing to go to private companies to show their talents. Because everyone can see a bright future. ”

"Oh......" Xiang Xiaoqiang nodded slowly and said with a smile, "I see." Well, seriously, it seems that every European country has to go through this process after the Restoration. However, there seems to be no precedent for any royal family in Europe to intermarry with the burghers. ”

"Hehe, this is different," Tang Yunsheng said with a smile, "Foreigners are born with a traditional business, and we are born with a traditional business, so we are in danger of going backwards." If we want to catch up, we have to be more determined. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered something, and asked again:

"Tang Gong, isn't he called 'the best horse in history'? Just because he is a princess from the citizen class, he is called 'the best'? ”

Tang Yunsheng said with a smile:

"That's good enough. But if that's all it takes, it's not the 'best in history'. I'm telling you about this guy because I think he's very similar to what you're in right now. ”

"How?" Xiang Xiaoqiang's eyes widened, and he said strangely, "He also gave the empress ...... No, the emperor was a man at that time...... Ah, no! Could it be that he could seduce the Queen Mother......"

"Duh!!" Tang Yunsheng slapped the table and scolded, "Shut up!" Xiang Xiaoqiang, you are too presumptuous!! ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was startled, and now that he was really unobtrusive in speaking, he hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Tang Yunsheng glared at him, and then continued:

"6 Xuanfeng had already quietly fallen in love with the lord of Hui'an before the queen mother gave him marriage. The county lord of Hui'an is the daughter of King Xianyanping and the aunt of Zheng Yujiao, the current son. ”

…… That's also Xuanxuan's aunt. Xiang Xiaoqiang thought, why are they all aunts? Won't this guy be my "double uncle" in the future?

Tang Yunsheng continued:

"It was late 1913, and Europe was a powder keg. Prince Edward of Britain, now the Duke of Windsor, also came to visit Daming, which can be regarded as the final encirclement of the allies. At that time, a grand ball was held in Nanjing to welcome him. In the end, the prince is British, and there is this tradition, and people hope to see not only the royal relatives at the ball, but also some business tycoons, celebrities, and more people from the common class. So 6 Xuanfeng got the opportunity to participate in the palace ball. There are many legends of this love, and the more reliable one is that the 6 Viscount Feng and the Lord of Hui'an fell in love at first sight at the ball. At that time, 6 Xuanfeng was only in his twenties, and the county lord of Hui'an was only fifteen or sixteen years old, young men and women, there was only romance in their minds, and there was no reality, so it was love at first sight. Many times after that, the two secretly ran out to meet again, but more often than not, they flirted by letter. is because the status of the two is too different, neither of them dares to make it public, and they can't see the future. Until the Empress Dowager Xiaohui gave marriage, the relationship between the two was still a secret. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was a little fascinated when he heard this, and couldn't help asking:

"And then?"

"The following year, war broke out in Europe. Because of the traditional relationship with Britain and France, the Ming naturally participated in the Entente. But because we still had the Manchus to the north, and the Manchus did not participate in the war, we did not send the 6th Army to Europe. We simply sent a fleet to the Mediterranean to fight Turkey. Of course, this is also symbolic. Mainly because Britain and France were afraid that we would join the Allies in order to take advantage of the opportunity to recover Burma and Vietnam. Therefore, Britain and France both promised: as long as we participate in the Entente, no matter how we fight, they will give us land after the war. The British promised to cede to us Mamphaya in eastern Burma. France promised to cede to us Rantana, in northwestern Laos. Together, these two areas cover more than 1,000 square kilometers and form a north-south corridor. In this way, I will be able to border Siam in the south. Now we have a direct border with Siam, all because of these more than 1,000 square kilometers. Of course, this is all off topic.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not send many troops, it also followed the example of the United States and was open to sending supplies to the European Entente. The Northern Qing Dynasty is also seizing the opportunity to sell to Europe. The difference is that the Northern Qing Dynasty was blockaded by our sea, its own ships could not go to sea, and Japan monopolized its maritime shipping business, so the money earned had to be exploited by Japan. And Daming has the ability to carry it by himself, and all the money he earns is his own. At that time, compared with the European powers, the Ming Dynasty was not an industrial power, so like the Northern Qing Dynasty, the main thing sold to them was raw materials, such as grain ore or something. However, these emerging industrialists of the Ming Dynasty, especially industrial enterprises, all emerged rapidly during this period. The traditional advantage of Daming is the tungsten industry, and the leading enterprise in the tungsten industry is 6 metals. For a time, 6's metal almost became the darling of the Ming Empire, and some people even called it 'the Krupp of the Ming Dynasty'.

"6 families married a princess, sealed a marquis, social status is hot, and now by taking advantage of the world war, it has continuously expanded into industrial predators, and the production line has been working in two shifts day and night, and the replacement is not stopped. Shipwat by ship of products to Europe, cart by cart of banknotes into the bank, net worth in the account increased by zero. It can be called a spring breeze. Relying on the rapid growth of these industries, taxes also poured into the treasury like a tide, and the Ming Empire became more and more wealthy. It was at that time that the Ming Dynasty was able to build the Yangtze River defense line while competing with Japan in shipbuilding. On both sides are bottomless pits that burn money, but Daming can afford it. Everyone knows that without this large number of emerging industries, it would not be possible to do it.

"After four years of war, Europe was reduced to rubble, but the Ming Dynasty made a lot of money, and also took more than 1,000 square kilometers of the Siam Corridor. These industrialists have all become the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and the six are one of the largest among these heroes. By the end of the European War, the lord of Hui'an was twenty years old, and nobles from various families continued to come to ask for marriage. Moreover, many business tycoons also came to try their luck and courted their sons or grandsons. As a result, the selection of horses for the lord of Hui'an County was also put on the agenda. At that time, the nobility also began to become popular to marry wealthy businessmen among the people. Therefore, in addition to the children of the nobility, the children of several big industrialists were also selected as alternatives. It was at this time that the scandal came out. Newspapers large and small began to reveal the secret romance between the lord of Hui'an and the Nanping concubine.

"It seems that it was from the Lord of Hui'an that made trouble first. Probably because the county lord of Hui'an knew that he was going to be married, he couldn't stand it, and began to quarrel with his father and queen mother, and wanted to marry 6 Xuanfeng. And 6 Xuanfeng is an ideal candidate in any respect, but the problem is that he has already married a princess and is already a concubine. And at that time, it seemed that a person marrying a princess was already a great grace. It would be unthinkable to marry a county lord again. Therefore, King Yanping was strict and not allowed, and probably stepped up the steps of selecting horses. And the lord of Hui'an County is very strong, looking for death and life, and this matter probably came out like this.

"As soon as the matter came out, the pressure on the 6 families suddenly couldn't stand it. At that time, 6 Xuanfeng's father wrote to the emperor, which meant that although our family has been loyal and patriotic for generations, after all, he was from a humble background, and he was able to marry a princess, and he already felt the emperor's grace, and he never dared to think about anything else, how to do it. At the same time, he made a statement to the press, saying that there was absolutely no such thing, and that the dog and the princess of Nanping were quite affectionate, just like the company of Qin Se...... When my father was so circulating, he tried to pull his family out of the whirlpool. But his son 6 Xuanfeng didn't appreciate it and resolutely refused to come out to make the same statement. So the press knew that there was a drama in it, and they all dug it desperately.

At that time, the six families locked the young master at home and did not allow him to go out. And the king of Yanping also locked his daughter at home and did not allow her to leave the house. The meaning is obvious, and the two are not allowed to meet again. Maybe even the servants and maids around him have been replaced, and they can't even send a note. But then I don't know how the two got in touch, and a month later, they escaped from the house at the same time in one night. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang was so stunned that he was about to shoot the case. This is clearly out of the same mold as Zheng Yuxuan! No wonder Zheng Yuxuan did so neatly when he escaped from home last time, and he dared to love this tradition at home!

"The two eloped?" Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled, "Where did you go?" ”

Tang Yunsheng shook his head and sighed:

"I didn't go far. You can't even think of it. The county lord of Hui'an didn't know how to come up with such ideas, with 6 election forwards, the two eldest children ran into the US Embassy, saying that they wanted to ask for politics-governance-refuge-refuge! ”

"Poof......

Xiang Xiaoqiang squirted out at once.

He choked on the tea and coughed violently, and it took more than ten seconds to recover his strength.

Tang Yunsheng also shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"Didn't expect that, did you? Alas...... Have you ever heard of politics-refuge-refuge because of this? Alas! The American ambassador didn't know what to do, so he couldn't get out anyway, so he kept it first. Then immediately inform their own government and ask what to do. Alas, this matter was originally just domestic news in the Ming Dynasty, but when it was done like this, it suddenly became the world's explosive news. The Ming government and the royal family were embarrassed at that time...... Tsk tsk, you can't even think of it. ”

Xiang Xiaoqiang laughed so hard that he straightened up for a long time and grinned:

"No, no, I can think of it, I can definitely think of it......"
