Postscript (15) Shaoqing is prosperous
In May, when heavy machine guns and armored trucks appeared in Longchuan, the fate of the rebels seemed sealed.
In the following battles of Luchuan and Ganges, twenty armored trucks were left uninhabited.
As soon as the rebels' artillery positions are knocked out, armored trucks will crush the entire battlefield in a near-invincible manner.
Even if the rebels try to blow up a truck by throwing a grenade under the armored vehicle, the most they can do is change a few tires, and the armored vehicle will still be on the battlefield in the next war.
On June 17, Yue Zhongqi led his army to conquer the city of Bengal on the Ganges River, and the rebel leader Mo Sanlun drew his sword and killed himself.
On July 12, the Ming army regained the four provinces of Tianzhu, and the rebels were completely wiped out.
This incident was recorded by the national history officials at the time as the "Moliu Rebellion", and this rebellion led to a large political defeat of the officials of the two parties, as well as the displacement of more than 500,000 people in five provinces, including Luchuan and Shannan.
The failure of the two parties is not due to their stupidity, but because they are unpopular.
Seeing that the New Deal could not be stopped, many former officials of the two parties changed their positions one after another and supported the "Shaoqing New Deal" that they had opposed.
However, even so, there are still many officials who are too deeply implicated in Jiang Ding and Qin Quyi and are arrested and imprisoned.
In the first month of the fourth year of Shaoqing, according to the statistics of the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Officials, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple, in the past year alone, the number of arrested officials reached 123,000.
In addition, the number of dismissed officials is as high as 240,000.
The 70,000 reserve officials that had been accumulated, as well as the 50,000 reserve officials elected by Enke last year, took up their posts one after another, and a large number of civilian officials stepped into the officialdom.
These are just what happens in the officialdom, in addition to the normal officialdom, there are also three movements in the military and among the people.
The Three-Positive Movement was thoroughly launched in the army, and more than 2,900 of the more than 5,700 officers and generals who participated in the examination failed to pass the examination.
After Emperor Shaoqing spot-checked a few unqualified papers, he even angrily said that "these people are using the lives of soldiers as a stepping stone to their own experience".
On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Emperor Shaoqing set up the "Five Military Supervision Yuan" and appointed Li Ziren as the imperial historian of the capital, and thoroughly investigated the officers who failed the examination, found out them and the people behind them, confiscated their family property, and exiled them to the provincial labor camp for ten years.
In the same month, the Ministry of Household Affairs set up an industrial and commercial supervision bureau to focus on monitoring whether state-owned and private factories comply with the policies in the "Shaoqing New Deal".
In June, Emperor Shaoqing abolished the imperial store and divided the shops and factories under the command of the imperial store into categories.
In July, after consulting with the cabinet, Emperor Shaoqing decided to set up 36 commercial banks, including national iron and steel, national weaving, national salt industry, and national petroleum.
This has greatly weakened the power of state-run factory officials, limited the scope of their abuse, and increased the cost of corruption.
As for the people, Emperor Shaoqing selected the "subsidy" policy according to the policy in the "Five-Year Plan (24)" left by King Wen of Qi during the Apocalypse.
The township Huangdian was changed to "Daming Supply and Marketing Cooperative", in which fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural supplies were subsidized by the state for one-third of the price.
For example, at present, the price of a bag of 50 catties of fertilizer is 150 Wen, and the cost price is 120 Wen, so the imperial court subsidizes 20 Wen and lowers the price to 100 Wen for sale.
In this way, farmers can reduce the cost of planting one acre of land by about 40 yuan.
Forty wen doesn't seem like much, but this is just the beginning, and if it works, the imperial court will follow up.
Zhu Bohai's series of reform policies have greatly alleviated the class contradictions and life pressure within the Ming Dynasty.
However, it is worth mentioning that when the Ming Dynasty carried out the "Shaoqing New Deal", many things worth paying attention to happened in Europe.
In the first year of Shaoqing, the British Navy saw the steam engine ships of Qi during their daily patrols, thus revealing a mysterious corner of the Ming Dynasty feudal system.
At the same time, in order not to be destroyed in the next war of the country, the Northern Alliance compiled the history of the many Northern Wars into a book and continued to distribute them in Europe.
Through these books, many countries learned about the military situation of the Ming Dynasty, and then began to study the rear-loading gun.
The Holy Roman Empire, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark and other countries successively established universities in Vienna, Berlin, Madrid, and Rebens, focusing on the study of rear-loading firearms and steam engines.
At this time, Britain already had a steam water lifter and a atmospheric steam engine, so they appointed Saffrey and Newcastlemen, who invented the water lift and atmospheric steam engine, to study the steam engine, and paid them three hundred pounds a month as their salary.
It seems that because of fear and fear of the military strength of the Ming and Qi states, Europe has been unusually quiet in the following years, and all countries are avoiding war.
Due to the experience of the United Kingdom, countries did not dare to issue paper money, but continued to use silver coins.
When the Northern Alliance's front-loading rifled guns and mini rounds began to spread, countries rushed to follow suit.
When the "Moliu Rebellion" broke out in the Ming Dynasty, they were also actively digging talents from various feudal states.
For the Ming Dynasty, the students who graduated from high school were just ordinary people, but for all countries, the students of the middle school of the Ming Dynasty and its vassal kingdoms were great scientific researchers.
In May of the fourth year of Shaoqing, a team of 27 people, including Newcastlemen, Sawrey, and foreign scholar Feng Cheng, successfully developed a separate condenser, which made Britain go further in the research of steam engines.
At the same time, when the news spread, Daming Jinyiwei in Europe obtained information and immediately sent the news back to China.
In July, the Ming Dynasty issued a policy of "prohibiting nationals from entering and leaving countries other than the Ming Dynasty's feudal system", and ordered all people in Europe to return to the Ming Dynasty, and violators were removed from their hometowns.
Under the call of this policy, a large number of Daming students returned to Daming.
According to Newton's statistics, the number of Ming people in Britain before July was as high as 747, but after July it dropped to 54, and it continues to decline.
In order to retain these "scientific researchers", countries have offered high prices to keep them.
Among them, Feng Cheng, who developed a separate condenser for the United Kingdom, was offered a sky-high price of 500 taels of silver per month.
You must know that at this time, the British treasury was only more than 5.7 million taels, and Feng Cheng's annual income was as high as 6,000 taels of silver, accounting for one-thousandth of Britain's annual income.
In addition to Feng Cheng, the others were also offered sky-high prices ranging from one hundred to three hundred.
In front of these Yulu, they seemed to forget that they were the people of the Ming Dynasty, but concentrated on staying in the local area with their families.
This is not just the case in the UK, but also in Europe.
Hearing the news, Daming was preparing to impose sanctions on various countries, but he didn't want two disasters to break Daming's preparations.
In May of the fifth year of Shaoqing, an 8.7-magnitude earthquake struck Chuqiu Province (Chile) in Qi State, affecting more than 300,000 people.
The tsunami triggered by the earthquake reached Yingzhou province a month later, affecting 60,000 coastal residents in Yingzhou.
Before the disaster passed, a strong earthquake struck Suncheonfu on August 19.
Before the earthquake, there was a sudden violent storm, and then an earthquake struck, which lifted tables and chairs, shattered utensils, and the houses in the Forbidden City collapsed severely, the inner and outer courts were damaged, and a corner of the Imperial Palace also collapsed.
Since Beijing was already a huge city with a population of 2 million at this time, the number of people affected by the disaster reached 50,000.
Emperor Zhu Bohai of Shaoqing and civil and military officials in Beijing lived in tents set up temporarily on Chang'anmen Square, and did not dare to go home to manage government and rest.
The panic caused by this earthquake even caused the worries of officials of all sizes who were sending troops abroad, and Zhu Cheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, even suggested moving the capital back to Nanjing on the grounds of the earthquake during the Apocalypse and the earthquake.
In this regard, Emperor Zhu Bohai of Shaoqing hesitated, but in the end he did not decide to move the capital.
Ten days later, there were many aftershocks in Beijing, but there were no casualties after all.
On August 30, after the earthquake had passed, Emperor Shaoqing issued an order to appease the victims, sending craftsmen to repair all houses that had collapsed, and strictly prohibiting officials and craftsmen from asking the people for money.
In October, Emperor Shaoqing issued a decree to remove the people who remained in Europe and the Ottomans and other countries.
In March of the sixth year of Shaoqing, the Holy Roman Empire signed the Vienna Treaty of Mutual Assistance with Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal.
In May, the Xijing City Tram line was laid and the tram began to operate.
In September, Sun Jiagan, the secretary of the household department of the Ming Dynasty, said that the four provinces of Tianzhu and Luchuan had restored the situation before the "Moliu Rebellion".
In the month of Layue, the "Qishui Power Station" was completed in Qiguo, with an annual power generation capacity of 15 million kilowatt hours, which can provide 40,000 street lamps in Xijing City to light up the whole year and maintain the operation of Xijing tram lines throughout the year.
In the first month of the seventh year of Shaoqing, Modong and Beishan suffered a heavy snowstorm, and more than 30,000 livestock froze to death, and the cabinet allocated 150,000 taels of silver to comfort them.
In April, Ma Shangquan of the Daming Armaments Institute invented the world's first panning turnaround and invented the world's first color photograph.
Therefore, the Shaoqing Emperor Zhu Bohai was the first Ming Emperor to have a color photograph.
In July, Zhu Yicheng, a lieutenant of Qi Guochengshan, entered the Academy of Sciences as a bachelor.
In September, Zhu Yicheng developed a phonograph and recorded the world's first record himself, although he was incomplete......
On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Zhu Jianhuan, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, drove his car and smashed the courtyard wall of a house, although he claimed to be the grandson, but the residents and officials did not believe his identity, and took him to Wanping Yamen to detain, and Li Fuming, the prince of Qin, paid 500 yuan for repairing the courtyard wall.
In March of the eighth year of Shaoqing, the Ming Dynasty implemented the "Currency Act" and began to recycle the large amount of silver coins circulating in the market, retaining only copper coins from one to ten Wen.
In July, Dingguo and Mongolia launched the fifth western expedition, mobilizing 60,000 troops.
Upon hearing the news, Sweden and Tsarist Russia appealed to Denmark and the Holy Roman Empire for help, and the two countries sent 120,000 troops to support the Northern Alliance.
In September, a heavy snowstorm broke out in Eastern Europe, and the allied forces retreated.
In the winter month, the news that "the emperor's heir is still alive" circulated in the Yingzhou area, but it was quickly detected by the Jinyi guards, and more than 300 people who spread the news were arrested and exiled.
In February of the ninth year of Shaoqing, Qi Guo replaced the Xijing subway with an electric train.
In May, Zhou Dong, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty, expounded on the industrial situation of Qi and the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, Daming produced 25 million tons of pig iron, 16 million tons of steel, 530 million tons of coal, 350 million tons of grain, and 96 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Qi produced 12 million tons of pig iron, 6 million tons of steel, 200 million tons of coal, 98 million tons of grain, and 74 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
If the population and per capita income are included, the national strength of Qi is about sixty percent of that of the Ming Dynasty.
But even so, there have never been restrictions on the passage of immigrants from the DPRK to the country.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, the national dynasty immigrated 1.57 million to Qi in the seventh year of Shaoqing, which is a huge number, equal to the national population of some counties.
Zhou Dong believed that since the national strength of Qi was already so strong, the dynasty could suspend the immigration channels of Qi and increase the immigration of other vassal states with a high proportion of native people.
His negligence attracted the attention of the ministers above the temple, and Zhu Bohai, the emperor of Shaoqing, put the matter on hold for the time being, and ordered to summon Zhu Bomu, the son of Qi, to try to discuss the matter with Zhu Bomu in detail.
In mid-June, Zhu Bomu arrived in the capital by order and discussed the matter with Zhu Bohai in Yuntaimen.
On June 27, Zhu Bomu returned to Qi, and Daming announced that it would suspend the alignment of migration channels from the beginning of the first month of next year.
After this incident was made public, the sales volume of the current issue of "Daming Pao" reached more than 286 million copies, and people at home and abroad were very concerned about this matter.
In July, Daming introduced Qi National Tram and prepared to build new tram lines in Beijing, Nanjing, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Wuchang, Chengdu, Kunming, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and other cities.
In October, the number of people in the Indian vassal states of India, Kunlun, and the Middle East was announced, with the largest number of people in the Indian vassal states, with a total of 160 million people.
It was followed by the Kunlun vassal states, with a total of more than 74 million people.
Finally, there are the four feudatories in the Middle East, with a total of more than 24 million people.
Zhou Dong, the secretary of the household department, believes that there are often rebellions in the four feudatories in the Middle East, all because nearly ninety percent of the people in the country are natives, so it is necessary to increase the intensity of immigration to the four feudatories.
In the same month, the Shaoqing Emperor Zhu Bohai Zhu criticized the release of no restrictions on the immigration policies of the four countries.
On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Cheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, reported on the current situation of the officials of the "two parties" who resisted Shaoqing's new policy.
After four years of investigation, more than 324,000 officials from the two parties have been implicated in the military, government, and civilian circles, and more than 2 million people have been implicated including their relatives.
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Emperor Zhu Bohai of Shaoqing issued an order to exile all the more than 2 million people to the four feudal domains in the Middle East.
At the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting on the first day of the first month of the ninth year of Shaoqing, Zhou Dong, the head of the household department, said that after the split of Huangdian, the profits of state-owned factories and chambers of commerce increased significantly.
In the eighth year of Shaoqing, the state dynasty received a net profit of 74 million taels from the state-owned chamber of commerce alone, and the annual income was more than 177 million yuan, an increase of more than 23 million taels compared with before the new policy.
In July, Gao Quan, a medical bachelor at Yunnan University, discovered opium poppy in Cheli Province and refined it to obtain the drug morphine.
In September, Gao Quan extracted quinine, a drug used to treat and prevent malaria and can treat pyrowormiasis, from the bark of the local cinchona tree and its congeners in Yunnan.
Both of these drugs played an important role in promoting the medicine of the Ming Dynasty, so Emperor Shaoqing canonized Gao Quan as the Bo of Enlightenment.
In October, the Qi Academy of Sciences established the first Antarctic scientific research station in Antarctica, which is mainly responsible for recording astronomy and Antarctic glaciers.
In Layue, Zhan Qianyun, a bachelor of Daming electric power, published his research on electromagnetism as a paper "Qianyun Force Line".
In March of the tenth year of Shaoqing (1735), Zhan Qianyun published a paper "On the Line of Force in Physics".
In May, Nan Qianyi, an electric power scientist from Qi State, published "The Dynamic Theory of Electromagnetic Fields", and comprehensively summarized the work of his predecessors and himself, expressing the electromagnetic field theory in a concise, symmetrical and perfect mathematical form.
In June, Nan Qianyi and Zhan Qianyun met at the Beizhou Exchange Institute and began a decade-long joint research, and jointly compiled the "Nanzhan Equations", which became the main basis of classical electrodynamics, in the 20th year of Shaoqing.
In July, the annual power generation of Qi exceeded 300 million kilowatt hours, and electricity and electric lights began to enter the homes of the people of Qi.
The advent of electricity made the people of Qi have a strong interest in science.
In the month of Layue, Dingguo launched the Western Expedition again, which was the sixth Western Expedition since Dingguo, but at this time European countries had signed mutual assistance treaties, so this Western Expedition did not let Dingguo get any benefits.
In March of the 11th year of Shaoqing, the king of Shunning of Mongolia Hongkol died in Hala and Lin (Kiev).
During his lifetime, Hungcol made his eldest son, Moncor, his son, his son, the son of the family, but the other three sons were not convinced.
Against this background, civil strife broke out in Mongolia and it was divided into four parts.
Emperor Shaoqing, who learned the news, sent Nian Qianyao to lead an army to quell the rebellion, and the rebellion ended in July of that year.
This power struggle was called the "Four Sons Seize the Succession" by the national historians, and it led to the sacrifice of a large number of Mongolian nobles, and Han Chinese officials gradually occupied high positions in the temples of the Mongolian state.
In September, the Joseon king Yi Yu went to Beijing to pay homage to Emperor Shaoqing, hoping to marry his eldest daughter to his grandson Zhu Jianhuan as a side concubine, but was refused.
In May of the twelfth year of Shaoqing, Feng De, a bachelor of the Qi Academy of Sciences, used a small steam engine to drive the compression system, so that the ammonia was repeatedly compressed and evaporated to produce refrigeration, and fluorine was used as a refrigerant.
In June, Fonder designed and built an industrial refrigerator for all the bachelors of the Academy of Sciences.
This technology attracted the attention of Wang Hui, the president of the Academy of Sciences, and asked Feng De to set up a separate research team to specialize in refrigeration and refrigerators.
In September, Vonder improved the industrial refrigerator and made it smaller.
In October, Vonder built the world's first artificially refrigerated household refrigerator.
This kind of refrigerator was praised by Zhu Bomu, the supervisor of the country, and ten factories were set up in the first month of the next year.
In July of the same year, Wang Qianmin, a bachelor of the Daming Armaments Institute, developed the world's first electric fan.
In August, the Armaments Institute set up a factory in Taiyuan, with an annual output of about 30,000 units.
In April of the thirteenth year of Shaoqing, the power generation of Daming exceeded 500 million kilowatt hours, and Emperor Shaoqing aimed to establish power supply stations in various counties and open up power quotas, so that the power went to the people of Daming.
Like the people of Qi at the beginning, the people of Daming were very curious and interested in bright electric lights and electric fans.
In May, Xia Zhiyan, a servant of the Qi State Household Department, wrote a letter saying that in the past five years, more than 97,000 cars, 560,000 two-wheeled motorcycles, and 800,000 three-wheeled motorcycles had been sold to the people, and that cars and motorcycles had entered the homes of a large number of people, but Zhu Bomu, the superintendent of the state, was not satisfied.
In October, Hua Jikang, the head of the Ming Agricultural Division, said that the grain yield per mu of the National Dynasty had increased to an average of 385 catties, and there was nothing to mention.
On the seventh day of the winter month, Tian Wenjing, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, died in office at the age of seventy-six, and was nicknamed Wenzhong.
After his death, Emperor Shaoqing appointed his second assistant Zhang Tingyu as the first assistant, and the cabinet minister Li Fu as the second assistant.
During the reign of the two, the remnants of the two parties in the temple were constantly attacked, the salaries of officials, workers, and soldiers were raised, the civil atmosphere was opened, and the pressure on the people's lives was sharply reduced.
In the fourteenth year of Shaoqing, the Zhengdan Dynasty will be held, and the population of the Ming Dynasty will exceed 750 million, and later generations will call this stage "Shaoqing Prosperous Age".
