With the continuous improvement of the quality of Daming's development, the continuous progress of industry and science and technology education, and the blowout of scientific and technological achievements,

On the other hand, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has also been expanding in the expansion of these years, and the progress of science and technology and the improvement of the efficiency of the rule of law have all played an immediate role in accelerating the construction of the country.

As early as the fifteenth year of Xiaokang, when Zhu Shuren decided to abolish the old "Da Ming Law" and change the law, it was calculated at that time that the Han population in the eighteen provinces of the Han Dynasty had increased from 60 million to 90 million during the war to destroy the Qing Dynasty.

Now, another 20 years have passed, and except for two consecutive years of drought and earthquake, the Yellow River burst in the middle, which caused the population to not grow for about five years, and the other 15 years have been normal.

So the proportion is a little lower, and now the total population of the eighteen provinces of Han has reached more than 120 million. In addition, the population of the original barbarian territory was 20 million at that time, and now with the destruction of the Junggar country, 10 million people have been added one after another, and the local natural growth has accumulated nearly 10 million over the years.

Therefore, the total population of the newly conquered territories of the Ming Dynasty has reached more than 40 million. Especially in these more than 40 million miles, the proportion of people with Han Chinese ancestry is also rising. Whoever let the Han immigrants mostly move out of the country alone, and when they arrive in the local area, they will give indigenous women as wives and concubines and maids, so among the 40 million people today, there are at least five or six million pure Han people, and at least thousands of people with Han mixed blood.

The population of the Ming Dynasty reached 160 million, of which about 130 million were Han Chinese, more than 1,000 were of mixed Chinese descent, and more than 10 million others totaled. After years of development, the industrial population has further increased from more than 10 million to more than 20 million.

In the future, if the steam engine can be popularized, the population will grow to the point that the per capita arable land will not be able to use so much labor, and there will be a new labor crowd out, and the industrial population will definitely usher in a wave of rapid growth.

It's a pity that Zhu Ciyu, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, couldn't see it with his own eyes.

Thirty-five years after being well-off, the third year after the complete destruction of the Dzungar Ministry and the complete escape of the Rakshasas, the fifty-one-year-old Zhu Ciyu finally died because of excessive lust.

This is actually not a short life, similar to his grandfather Emperor Longwu, and only Wanli has outlived him in recent years.

However, his father Zhu Shuren is more healthy, also because Zhu Shuren has seen too many beauties in his previous life, and he doesn't feel anything anymore, and when he was young in this life, he got Zhu Yuchan, Fang Ziling, and Qin Huai Siyan's desperate follower, plus there are some beauties who are used as a taste adjustment for cherishing fragrance and jade, which has greatly increased the threshold of Zhu Shuren's temptation.

So, when Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan, Li Xiangjun, Bian Yu, and Kyoto were old and decrepit, and after the age of forty, Zhu Shuren became more hobbies and interests, and rarely got close to women, and felt that there was nothing new.

He became healthy like Emperor Xiao Yan of Liangwu.

The main difference between him and Xiao Yan in terms of health mode is that Xiao Yan can not eat meat, while Zhu Shuren only does not eat fatty meat at most, and he does not even eat pork and mutton after the age of fifty. But fish and shrimp are still eaten, crabs are saved, there is no need, shellfish and beef and chicken can also be eaten a little.

In addition, Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan likes to sit quietly and participate in meditation, without exercise, Zhu Shuren will also exercise scientifically appropriately, but it is limited to exercises to enhance cardiopulmonary function, he only wants longevity, not muscles, so he does not do anaerobic.

Such a health preservation, I didn't expect him to live longer than his son.

Fortunately, as early as the twenty-fifth year of Xiaokang, that is, the year when the main force of the Ming Dynasty had just attacked Qinghai-Tibet and harassed Luntai, Zhu Ciyu was already over forty years old at that time, and the queen he set up in his early years who could not give birth did not live to forty and died at the age of thirty-eight.

And Zhu Shuren had already inspected his three candidate grandsons at that time, and took advantage of the fact that his daughter-in-law died for more than a year, and asked his son to re-establish the queen, and set Zhu Hetan's mother concubine as the new queen, then he automatically became the third son of the emperor, but also the eldest son-in-law.

At that time, Zhu Hetan was already fifteen years old, about the same age as his father when he ascended the throne, and later became the crown prince for ten years, and now his father has died, and he ascended the throne at the age of twenty-five. There is also his seventy-five-year-old grandfather who is still alive.

However, when Zhu Shuren reached this age, he had long been out of business, he was only responsible for providing a certain stable transition for the inheritance of the throne, and occasionally came out and showed his face.

Five years later, as his grandson reached the age of eighty, he himself was eighty years old, and then he was almost like Qianlong when he was the emperor in history, and he was completely in retreat.

Although Zhu Shuren's later lifespan surpassed that of Qianlong and Xiao Yan, setting a new record for the longevity of the Chinese rulers' health preservation faction, it had nothing to do with the country. In the last ten years of his life, he did not participate in any outside red tape activities.

……

After Zhu Hetan became the emperor, he changed the Yuan Concord and took the "Shangshu. Yaodian "The people are clear, and all nations are in harmony".

(In fact, the Fusang people also used this allusion later, but then it became Zhaoming and Xiehe each take a word, Zhu Shuren was still there at the time, he didn't like it, so he only took "Xiehe", anyway, the Ming Dynasty was originally Zhaoming, no need to emphasize it.)

This is also very in line with the line of the Ming Dynasty, which is to fight back on defense and defend to benefit the people of Asia, and will not take the initiative to invade others. Therefore, it is enough to only concord, and there is no need to "show the destiny of heaven" to barbaric conquest, which was done by the American and Japanese barbarians. ）

Zhu Hetan's genes seem to be a little better than his father's. Who made his father's generation, his grandfather did not have eugenics, and other sons at that time could not succeed to become the emperor's grandson.

Zhu Hetan has no character flaws since he was a child, he is preferred, and the education he received is also very comprehensive.

Zhu Shuren has observed, although this grandson has no great ability, but the biggest advantage is that he knows how many catties and taels he has, as a prince, he can humbly recognize himself, know the boundaries of his ability, know what he can do and what he can't do, and consult professional people about professional things, which is already the most needed quality of the monarch.

Because according to the Chinese tradition, the monarch is mainly a "gentleman is not a weapon", and he can't be arrogant and feel that he is awesome in any aspect, as long as he finds awesome talents, appoints them well, and makes the best use of them, then he doesn't understand any specific professional affairs, and it doesn't matter.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has this national strength, as long as the emperor is not crazy, modest, and can listen to persuasion, this is enough.

Later, Zhu Hetan really lived for a long time, and his lifespan was much longer than his father's, only slightly shorter than his grandfather's.

It seems that during the Ming and Qing dynasties, this kind of situation where the ancestors and grandchildren are long-lived and the generation in the middle is relatively short-lived, will happen repeatedly. This is the case with Jiajing and Wanli, both of whom have reigned for more than 40 years, but Longqing in the middle is not long. The Qing Dynasty Kangqian was also more than 60 years old, and the middle Yongzheng was only more than ten years.

Zhu Shuren and Zhu Hetan seem to be perfectly stuck in the trajectory of Kangqian in another time and space.

Zhu Hetan finally lived to be 90 years old before dying, and his life expectancy exceeded that of Qianlong by one year. But he did not reign for sixty-six years, until the end of his life.

Because he listened to a piece of advice given to him by his grandfather, saying, "Since ancient times, there have been too many male lords, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Tang Xuanzong, if they abdicate the throne a few years before they are old and deaf, they will not cause a great disaster to the people of the world."

In addition, the research of the Daming Academy of Sciences over the years is very comprehensive, and there is also a lot of involvement in medicine, although it has not yet advanced to the level of modern medicine, but with the blessing of Zhu Shuren's personal research direction, the academicians of the Daming Academy of Sciences still confirmed the existence of "Alzheimer's disease" from the level of clinical comparison.

In addition, Zhu Shuren himself also set an example, he completely retreated after his 80th birthday, did not ask about political affairs at all, and did not even listen to daily consultant-type reports.

The effect of this example also made Zhu Hetan very respectful, and finally set the iron law that "when the emperor reaches the age of 70, he must be assisted by the crown prince supervising the country, and when he reaches the age of 80, he must abdicate the throne and become the emperor".

Obviously, Zhu Hetan's doing this is quite similar to the parallel time and space Qianlong who felt that "the reign should not exceed the Holy Ancestor", grandfather Zhu Shuren was eighty years old and completely handed over power, and he must also completely hand over power.

But this can be regarded as a crooked fight, and later Daming avoided the problem of "many male masters because their brains are not clear in their later years, and the harm of a few years is greater than that of the shrewd and heroic accumulation in the early decades".

……

In the hands of such a heroic emperor who knew how to advance and retreat and could delegate power, Zhu Hetan had obviously brought about further colonial expansion of the Ming Dynasty during his reign, and completed the industrial song.

After all, three years before his father's death, Robert . . . Hooke had already built a complete Watt steam engine, and also ordered the two technical routes of "partial water-saving type" and "partial coal-saving type" respectively, and Newton also made the Leyden bottle and lightning rod, and mass-produced permanent magnets with lightning splitting.

With so many pre-scientific research results, it is simply too easy to induce follow-up scholars to develop how to put a steam engine on the front of a car or a sea vessel.

Historically, it took 20 years from Watt to the first experimental steamship to be built on a sea ship. It took 27 years to build the first steam engine locomotive.

And now in Daming, because of the tendency to induce running-in, the funding and promotion of the imperial court research and development fund can greatly shorten the waste of time for scientists to find money, investment, and laboratories.

So these tasks can actually be completed within more than ten years.

In the first ten years after Zhu Hetan ascended the throne, his grandfather was still alive, and the Ming Dynasty built the first prototype test machine for steam ships and steam locomotives.

Of course, there will be twenty or thirty years from the birth of the prototype to the actual promotion and application in history. This is because the performance of the original steamship was so bad that the original steamship was not as good as the pinnacle flying shearer. In the same way, the front of the steam locomotive was not as fast as the horse-drawn carriage in the early days.

This is normal, after the emergence of any new generation of technology, its original infant state model, is not as good as the peak of the technology of the old era.

Just like in World War II, some people say that the P51 Mustang, the pinnacle of piston fighters, can beat the Germans in combat and start the ME262.

Therefore, the performance of steam ships and steam locomotives has developed to equal that of sailing ships and horse-drawn carriages, and that is a matter of more than 20 to 30 years of Concord.

But in any case, Zhu Hetan is a good fate, and the time of his reign has completely caught up with the take-off period of industrial songs.

That sour can be compared to the Victorian era of the British in the original history of the West-Victoria's tenure, but it happened to coincide with the British from the first industrial song life soaring at full speed, to the first half of the second industrial revolution, she ascended the throne at the age of eighteen, and lived to be eighty-two years old, a total of 64 years in power.

Now Zhu Hetan ascended the throne at the age of 25 and reigned for 66 years until he was 90 years old, and the take-off of science and technology and industry has become more concentrated and brilliant.

The huge explosion of productive forces quadrupled the total population of the Ming Dynasty from 167 million when Zhu Hetan ascended the throne to 66 million years, which can be called terrifying.

By the end of the Xiehe years, the population of the Ming Dynasty reached a terrifying 650 million, but fortunately, the population absorbed by industry reached more than 250 million, and the peasant population was controlled within 400 million, so that it did not lead to chaos because of too little arable land like the Qing Dynasty in the same period of history.

During the reign of Zhu Hetan, the only foreign use of troops was to completely destroy the Vietnamese Nguyen Dynasty - mainly because the Vietnamese were ignorant and had been using their own era names internally, which was a conspiracy.

In the tributary system of ancient China, it was no problem for neighboring countries to call themselves kings, but they could not use their own era names. If you use the era name, you don't recognize the Central Plains Zhengshuo, and you want to destroy it by plotting against Zhengshuo.

In fact, the Vietnamese had the name of self-reliance as early as the time of the Lê Dynasty, and when the Nguyen Dynasty was first established, they endured it for a while, but it may be that the Vietnamese have always regarded themselves as "Little China" and "the continuous successor of Chinese orthodoxy after the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty", and if they have to insist that they are orthodox, then there is nothing to say, this contradiction is more irreconcilable than the Fusang people, and it can only be completely destroyed.

Therefore, the fertile countryside in Southeast Asia such as the Mekong Delta will be directly brought to you, and there is no Laos and Cambodia in this era, so they will all take those places that were conquered by Vietnam for the second time.

And the East Burma of Southeast Asia did not hold it later, and there was a fire with Siam, and it was later destroyed and swallowed by the Ming army, leaving only West Burma in the Rakhine Mountains and Siam around the Bangkok Basin still existing, all of which were vassal countries of the Ming Dynasty, and they never dared to commit the sin of using their own era names.

After the complete destruction of Vietnam, the rest of Southeast Asia did not actually need to use troops.

The Lanfang Kingdom of Borneo was directly founded by the remnants of Fujian and Chaoshan who fled the war during the Ming and Qing dynasties. When the Ming Dynasty became stronger, these Han countries voted directly.

Brunei is an ancient civilization, and there is nothing wrong with it, so let them stay and let them find some mountainous areas to exist on the island of Borneo, and pay tribute every year.

After all, Da Ming is not a demon, and for the subject countries that have always been very cowardly and respectful, they will not have to destroy and annex them for no reason.

In the Sumatra region, which was rich in the Palembang oil field in later generations, there were still small city-states established by Dutch colonists and Fujian pirate remnants.

If there are more farmers who have no land and need to be colonized, then throw them to Australia.

Finally, during the 66-year reign of Zhu Hetan, more than 10 million peasants who lost their land and refused to work in Australia alone were crammed, and the imperial court issued them a ferry ticket. New Zealand also stuffed more than two million.

Some other terra nullius in the Pacific have also developed a lot of their own land on the basis of the principle of voluntary non-governmental activities and commercial behavior.

There are even poor people who went to the West Coast of the Americas, such as California, Oregon, and Seattle on the other side of the ocean, north of Mexico, to pioneer and pan for gold, these are all private business activities and have nothing to do with the decision-making of the Ming court.

Fortunately, because of the pressure of industrialization and the progress of science and education, the people have completed the literacy eradication well, and women can also calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

In the sixty-six years of Zhu Hetan, the education and national quality of the Ming Dynasty leaped forward, and they were completely under the progress speed of industrial songs. After urbanization, industrialization and women's literacy come up, the population will not grow so fast, and there is no need to worry that the 600 million people on the East Asian continent will continue to expand and explode. Once in a while, a little more, then spontaneously encourage emigration.
