Chapter 51: I'm His Father (Part I)

I had lunch near the Forbidden City, the time was just noon, Qin Mubai directly took Zhu Yuanzhang into the Forbidden City, here can be said to be an enlarged version of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, the overall pattern and so on are built by relying on the Forbidden City in Nanjing, so from the beginning of entering the Forbidden City, Zhu Yuanzhang can find a trace of his palace here.

It's just that this place is more magnificent and more solemn, and the preservation is more complete, plus the expansion of the Qing Dynasty and the protection of modern times, etc., it can be seen that this place still seems to be able to see the glory of the year.

"Mr. Qin, after the Ming Dynasty, are there any other dynasties behind?" Inside, Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some curiosity, Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes have been changed, and he is a fat old man with a little fat figure at this moment, fortunately, there are not many people who have just entered the Forbidden City at this time, so the people around him have not noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's problem.

Otherwise, it is estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang will immediately attract a large group of attention, "Yes, it is the Manchu Qing outside the Guan, who has ruled the country for more than 300 years, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty lived here later." Qin Mubai nodded and said.

"Oh, no wonder, this place is so well protected, I'm afraid after the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it should not be far from now. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.

"Well, it's probably more than a hundred years old. Qin Mubai smiled, he didn't explain the specifics, but there were two world wars during this period, and if this place can be preserved, I am afraid it also has something to do with the status here, no matter who controls this place, and for his own rule, it is easy not to destroy the buildings here.

Of course, what is preserved is the building, and the contents have already been taken out, otherwise, if there are not many cultural relics scattered abroad, the name of the world's largest museum can be snatched away by the British Museum?

There are as many as 1.67 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics in more than 200 museums in 47 countries around the world, and more than 10 million pieces of Chinese cultural relics are scattered abroad.

There are more than 100,000 Chinese cultural relics in the British Museum alone, not counting some of the precious documents that have been scattered to the British National Library.

"It can be said that it gathers the most precious items from the whole of Chinese history, including all the royal collections of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, etc., but in the end they are all cheaper than several foreign countries. Qin Mubai shook his head and said.

"What do you say?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment.

"At the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, because of the continuous isolation of China, China has fallen behind the world, the whole of China has been looted by the Western world, more than 10 million pieces of cultural goods have been overseas, and almost most of the essence has been robbed by foreigners. Qin Mubai shrugged his shoulders and said.

Although he said this to Zhu Yuanzhang, he may not have any way, but it can be regarded as a way to give him, at least the sea ban started from the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Ming Dynasty's sea ban almost all started from Zhu Yuanzhang's period, to put it bluntly, Zhu Yuanzhang was from poor peasants, and some of his concepts are "chickens and dogs hear each other, old and dead do not get along" to put it bluntly.

That is, the Japanese are rampant on the ocean, and Lao Tzu forbids the sea and forbids my people to go out, and then we don't get along with each other for a long time, and no one cares about anyone.

It's inevitable on land, but it's still possible at sea. But the reason why this kind of thinking did not cause much problem in the Ming Dynasty was because the productive forces of that period had not yet been liberated, so it was no problem for the Ming Dynasty to play by itself.

But in the Qing Dynasty, this problem is big, to put it bluntly, some of the practices of the Qing Dynasty actually come from the legacy of the Ming Dynasty, plus in order to avoid the support of the local people for the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, the main reason is that Taiwan did not fall into the hands of the Qing Dynasty in the early stage, so this is one of the reasons.

"Is the Eight-Nation Alliance?is it a Western barbarian?, just those red-haired ghosts?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some dumbfounded.

"Yes, we don't pay attention to the ocean, but the living area of Westerners is small, plus there are many countries, so the ocean is their only way out, so they began to develop a variety of new types of sea ships, and finally at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Western ships are strong and sharp, we are not opponents at all, and in the development of muskets we fell into the disadvantage, the enemy can get off the ship and rob it, and after the robbery, you can return to the sea directly, and we are helpless against the enemy. Qin Mubai shrugged his shoulders.

"In fact, in modern times, although the ocean contains huge risks, but in the same way, the ocean is also our territorial waters, and there are huge interests in the ocean, and the ocean also contains huge guarantees. Isn't there a saying that is the best defense? Qin Mubai shrugged his shoulders.

And Zhu Yuanzhang pondered directly, as for whether it can play a role, then Qin Mubai doesn't know, to be honest, if the Ming Dynasty has a strong navy, whether the Qing Dynasty can fight it down, it's really hard to say. The Qing Dynasty in the early period was indeed very awesome.

The Qing Dynasty and Mongolia united, the Eight Banners cavalry was indeed fierce, but if there was a strong navy, it was estimated that Shanhaiguan would not be so easy to be broken through by the enemy, and if there was a strong navy, with the ability of ancient warships, it was really difficult for the Qing Dynasty to think about the Yangtze River, not to mention the Yellow River, anyway, the Yangtze River is very difficult.

In the era when ironclad ships were not entered, sailing ships could also enter inland rivers, and with a strong navy, the entire Yangtze River could be blocked. Of course, the Qing Dynasty could choose to bypass it from the source, but this gave the Ming Dynasty a great opportunity to resist.

Of course, whether it can solve Li Zicheng and Qin Mubai don't know, anyway, these things, Qin Mubai said what should be said, as for whether Lao Zhu changes or not, that is Zhu Yuanzhang's business.

"I see. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully.

"So Mr. Qin, according to modern experience, should a country pay attention to military generals? Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and asked.

Qin Mubai was slightly stunned, this question is actually not easy to answer, of course, it is a fact that the combat effectiveness of the army in the middle and late Ming Dynasty declined, or in other words, it is a fact that the combat effectiveness of the army in any country declined in the middle and late periods, but how to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, this is a very deep knowledge.

"The importance of military generals is a must, and I think it is best to establish a whole military academy......" Qin Mubai thought about it, he didn't know how to train the army in ancient times, but Qin Mubai knew how the modern army was trained.

Therefore, Qin Mubai simply told Zhu Yuanzhang all the ways and methods of training in the modern army, especially the methods of maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army, as well as some modern training in terms of discipline and queues.

For example, the advantage of this prohibition is that the army of the Ming Dynasty has begun to use firearms such as birds, and in the era of firearms, especially in the early era of firearms, this discipline is the most important thing.

If these things are passed on, to be honest, even in the later stage, the army does not fight much, but the combat effectiveness of this army is much stronger than the original. And the Ming Dynasty's guard system, like Qi Jiguang's proposal, the national guard rotation training plan.

If Zhu Yuanzhang directly completes the reform of the entire army from his own period, then a system will be formed in the future, and after the system is formed, the combat effectiveness of the army will naturally be guaranteed.

And such as military academies and modern political commissar plans, in fact, from another point of view to ensure that the generals do not have so much power, many dynasties began to suppress the generals later, because the ancient military system is a general can even lead a lifetime of soldiers, such as the Yuejia army, the Qi army, the Mengjia army. If it is a loyal general, it can be said, but what if some generals are not very loyal?

This is also the reason why many emperors know that after the military will be suppressed, the country's military combat effectiveness will be weakened, but they still choose to do so.

However, although this kind of military region transfer in modern times may not be able to play in ancient times, I believe that Zhu Yuanzhang has a way, as long as he tells them some systems, to put it bluntly, and tells them some benefits, he can not only guarantee the talent of military generals, but also ensure that a military general cannot treat an army as his own private soldier.

That will definitely not suppress the generals.

In fact, if you want to accomplish such a foundation, it is discipline! Iron-like discipline, when all soldiers integrate discipline into their bones, and then integrate the concept of crushing people to death at the level of officers and seniors into their bones, then the rotation of generals is not a measure to reduce combat effectiveness.

Anyway, these things were told to Zhu Yuanzhang, how Zhu Yuanzhang did it, it was not something that Qin Mubai could know.

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang kept a thoughtful expression, and it was not until the afternoon when the Palace Museum was about to close that Qin Mubai simply took Zhu Yuanzhang out of the Forbidden City. Seeing that Lao Zhu hadn't figured it out yet, Qin Mubai immediately smiled and said, "In this way, if I take you to see it tomorrow, you will probably understand a little." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally agreed directly, and the next day Qin Mubai directly took Zhu Yuanzhang here to watch the flag-raising ceremony, there are some things that are far less shocking than seeing them in person.

After watching the flag-raising, Qin Mubai showed Zhu Yuanzhang the video of the military parade, as well as some knowledge and systems about modern military training.

After doing this, as for what Zhu Yuanzhang thought, Qin Mubai didn't know.

But after watching it for about two days, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually figured it out, and after figuring it out, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Mr. Qin, next, can you please go with me to meet Zhu Di." ”
