Chapter 592: The French and Germans in Mozhou

Zhu Jingyuan laid down the principles for the content management of literary and artistic works, and the detailed terms and conditions of the content management norms were handed over to the newly established Ministry of Arts and Culture to be responsible for drafting.

Zhu Jingyuan finished talking about the requirements he had put forward and gave general direction instructions, and the meeting was basically over.

Shen Fu was in charge of promoting the rapid preparation of the Ministry of Arts and Culture, and people in other fields had no chance to be idle.

The semiconductor industry must first strive to increase production capacity, and at the same time, it must separately tackle a large number of new technologies in production processes.

Design new processors, develop new semiconductor products, and set up special teams.

The Network Sector continues to roll out fibre optic networks between key agencies.

By the beginning of April, a new report had been sent from the Jiangnan shipyard.

The first nuclear-powered submarine of the Ming Dynasty, the Koi, finally completed all the outfitting and testing projects, and was officially commissioned on April 23, the sixth year of the Dagong.

It took more than five years for the submarine to be designed and put into service, and more than four years from the start of construction.

It took longer than a battleship.

The first nuclear submarine in the history of the United States, the Nautilus, took just over two years from the start of service.

The main reason is that the Ming Dynasty's standards for nuclear-powered warships are much higher than those of other ordinary warships, and they are also much higher than the nuclear-powered warships of the Americans in history.

The American Nautilus is an experimental warship.

The hull of the original diesel-electric submarine was basically copied, but the traditional submarine was equipped with a nuclear reactor.

Daming's Koi Heqing, but it is a serious nuclear submarine, which is directly designed to attack nuclear submarines.

The shape of the entire hull has been redesigned, adopting the teardrop-shaped appearance of a later mature nuclear submarine, and the overall displacement is half larger than that of the Nautilus.

Detailed model tests and simulation calculations were carried out during the hull and reactor design phases.

The entire construction process after the start of construction and all the testing links after launching the water are also strict and meticulous to the extreme.

After that, this submarine can be directly used as a model to start building more nuclear-powered attack submarines in batches.

The Daming Navy and Ordnance Department and shipyards have also accumulated enough experience in this process, and the construction of other nuclear-powered ships can be accelerated a lot.

In the report document, the shipyard mentioned the details of the construction progress of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Daming's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier project was launched at the end of the third year of Dagong, and all the designs were completed at the end of the fourth year of Dagong, and the construction officially started at the beginning of the fifth year.

Five quarters have passed now, and the hull shell of the aircraft carrier has been basically formed.

Under normal circumstances, it should be able to launch before the end of the seventh year.

The onshore reactor with an output of 80,000 horsepower designed for the aircraft carrier also passed the 3,000-hour operation test at the beginning of the fifth year of the major work.

The official reactor built for the official aircraft carrier also officially started at the beginning of the fifth year of the construction project.

If nothing else, it is expected to be completed in the early seventh year, and it should be able to catch up with the construction node of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

When the time came in May, another report arrived at the space base opposite the Lion City in Johor Province.

The first official planetary geosynchronous orbit communications satellite was successfully launched.

In the future, four satellites of the same kind will be launched one after another, and the initial communication satellite network will be completed by the end of the seventh year.

Then preparations began to begin the deployment of the Tianxia positioning satellite.

There is good news coming from all sides one after another, and the sixth year of the Grand Duke is obviously a year of harvest.

After these major news were reported to Zhu Jingyuan and the imperial court, they quickly spread throughout the world through radio, television, and newspapers.

After the Taixi War, the Ming Dynasty further relaxed its control over classified information.

The commissioning of nuclear submarines can be announced to the public as soon as possible.

Because for the current Ming Dynasty, the propaganda role of new technologies and weapons has become greater than the actual role.

At the headquarters on the west coast of Mozhou, in the recessed bay, the entire New Germany, which was originally the whole of New Germany, has now become "France".

It is not called New France, let alone French France, and the official name is directly the word "Ming France".

Because France itself is gone, and it is impossible to return to it again.

Now it has also become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it is natural that like other vassal states, the Ming character is used as the official name of the country.

The name of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty is in front, and after the name of your own country, the full name of the country is listed on the list.

King Louis Charles and Queen Liu Muyu each sat in a large rocking chair in a palace built by the former Germans.

In the past, the two also had this habit, often flipping through the newspaper like this, and then discussing what they saw from time to time.

It's just that since the second half of last year, the newspapers of the two still have to be read, but there are fewer and fewer discussions.

It's not that the relationship between the husband and wife has deteriorated, but that they don't know what to discuss.

After reading a few articles, Charles looked at his wife sideways, and said without words:

"A false moon is an artificial moon, right?"

Liu Muyu nodded lightly:

"Yes, the newspaper says that send a telecommunications transponder device into the sky and revolve around the ground like the moon.

"It takes at least three vacation months to achieve the most basic global communications.

"In the future, we will prepare to launch more false moons to achieve the positioning and tracking of important items around the world......"

Charles couldn't help but say:

"That's what the newspapers say, but I think it's possible to send a false moon to the sky and revolve around the earth.

"Doesn't that mean that the same weapon can be dropped anywhere in the world?

"The point is, Daming still has atomic energy weapons......

Liu Muyu nodded again with some numbness:

"Yes, that's true, but the Ming newspaper also said that the energy of nuclear weapons is not just used for destruction.

"There are now a number of atomic reactors that can continuously release energy to produce steam that can be used to propel ships or generate electricity.

"Daming's nuclear-powered submarine has been put into service and is said to have unlimited cruising range and unlimited submersible capability."

Charles also nodded again:

"I remember, I remember the newspaper a while ago, there was a special page on it to introduce it.

"Nuclear-powered submarines have already entered service, and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are now being built.

"But what I'm thinking about now is ...... I may have been wrong in my original judgment......"

Liu Muyu was a little surprised:

"What judgment?"

Charles's voice was particularly depressed:

"Latecomers are able to catch up with the judgment of the forerunners by trying to catch up......

"I now feel that if the first mover hadn't hit a bottleneck, their advantage would have been cumulating.

"Then the gap with the latecomers will widen.

In fact, this situation was already evident at the time of the Tessie War.

"The fighters eliminated by the Ming Dynasty have better performance than the best in the Taixi countries.

At the same time, when the forerunner has the advantage, he can also forcibly interrupt the pursuit of the latecomer through the means of war.

"But...... But luckily, we ourselves have become part of the Ming Dynasty.

"Our state-of-the-art technology will also be displayed here step by step.

"But there's another question, what should we do in the future?"

Liu Muyu listened to Charles's chatter, and also recalled the things he had discussed with Charles before the Taixi War.

Both of them basically believed in that judgment at the beginning, and felt that although it was difficult at the time, there would always be bright future.

Now it has indeed gained light, but it does not come from the fire of his own creation, but under the sunshine of the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, Liu Muyu did not comment on the original idea, but asked again:

"What future? What are you still worried about? ”

Charles put down the newspaper and stood up and looked around:

"This palace built by the Germans may not be as artistic as the Palace of Versailles, but it can be said that it is not far behind.

"The Germans have been working here for almost twenty years, and now it belongs to us.

"But are we going to continue to live here in the future?

"According to what I have learned, the officials of the Ming Dynasty on the Taixi Continent, as well as the lords of the Ming Dynasty, are demolishing the Taixi buildings.

"All the palaces, castles, and churches of the past are slowly becoming building materials.

"Then build a pure building......

"The local people of Taixi are changing into pure Ming clothes as a matter of course, and they are all learning the Ming language and writing in an all-round way as a matter of course.

"So, now that we are a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, should we continue to do such things?

"The palace where we live, and even the entire Cessie building in Mexico, have been completely dismantled into building materials."

Liu Muyu was silent when she heard this, and then she also stood up from the rocking chair.

First he glanced around, looked at the decoration of the palace, and the clothes of the servants around him.

Finally, back to herself and her husband:

"Let's tear down this palace, this kind of fixed large-scale building, normal use for decades is too long.

"As for other soft things, there is no need to do anything specifically, in fact, we have to do it.

"Since we are a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, the official language of the royal family and the imperial court can only use the Ming Yayan and script.

"There are a large number of Germans in this land, and if they learn the Ming script and language, they may be a little less resistant than learning French.

"Clothes or something, we have already fused with the Daming style, and it will gradually become difficult to distinguish each other in the future.

"It's not that Daming doesn't allow remote places to retain some of their own local characteristics.

"As long as the formal etiquette, clothing, writing, and language are subject to the official regulations of the Ming court."

Charles was silent for a while.

Charles felt that what his wife said was very reasonable, and France was already integrating with Daming at the cultural level.

After the Taixi War, the relocation of Canada, and the chaotic process of rebuilding in Mozhou, the direct influence of the Ming Dynasty will be deepened.

But this kind of truth gave birth to a faint sadness in my heart.

Because of this deep fusion, which is obviously dominated by the Ming side, things in France will become decorative and local characteristics.

Charles sighed softly:

"There may never be a truly traditional French culture in the future......"

Liu Muyu smiled this time:

"My dear Majesty the King, you are in the state of being a standard authority.

"And as your Majesty the Queen, I still have the ability to try to put myself in the shoes of a bystander.

"It seems to me that the culture of true traditional France has been absent for many years, or has long since begun to mutate......

"Not to mention the Tessie War, before the last world war, France was not affected by the Ming Dynasty?

"How many years has it been since Ming learned to go west? What did Tessie's scholars call the Enlightenment?

"And then, are the clothes designed by our present majesty, whether you think they are men's or women's, really your Tessies' clothes?

"Before the World War, you Tessians didn't wear high heels, did you?

"Don't you realize that the various costumes designed by His Highness are very different from those of Louis XIV?

"In fact, including France, the Tessy culture has long lost the opportunity to develop independently.

"It should be said that the Tessie culture has never developed on its own.

"The Germans, Gauls, and Slavs, before they were conquered by the Romans, must have been similar to the inhabitants of Mexican, right?

Then they adopted the culture of the Romans as their own.

"Their religion is also a Roman religion, the calendar they use is the Roman calendar, and the alphabet they use is also the Latin alphabet.

"They renaissance, what did they revive? The culture of the Romans in turn from the hands of the Great Cannibals?

"But is the culture of Rome their own?

"The Roman calendar is obviously copied from the Egyptian solar calendar, and Roman mythology is directly copied from Greek mythology.

"Christianity was not Rome's own religion, and even Jesus himself was a man, and the New Testament was originally a re-creation of the Old Testament.

"Is the Old Testament original? Apparently not.

"The things on that are also the integration and recreation of the great food and the folklore of the Persian region.

"Therefore, according to Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, the Bible is something of the same nature as Journey to the West.

"This kind of thing has become the most important spiritual pillar of the Tessie people?

"Regardless of the pros and cons of these things, even these things can be considered good.

"Is there any essential connection between these things and you Gauls, Germans, Saxons, and Slavs?

"You learned it anyway.

"Is there anything unreasonable about continuing to learn the culture of Daming in the future?"

Charles was dissected by his wife, and his whole spirit was visibly decadent.

Then he slowly squatted on the ground with his hands over his face.

Liu Muyu seemed to feel that what he said was a bit excessive, so he walked over and squatted next to Charles, and stretched out his hand to stop Charles's shoulder:

"Actually, we don't need to do anything extra, just let it be."

Charles nodded slightly, leaning feebly on his wife's shoulder.

More than a thousand kilometers west of France, in Mexican, there is a piece of coastal land called the canton of Solon.

It was the fief of the former Prince Wilhelm Ludwig, now Count Wilhelm Ludwig Solon.

When William got here, it was a pure wasteland.

Not even the most basic settlements.

Because with the Ming Dynasty, the immigration point will not be distributed to William.

However, after dividing the land, the former military governor of the Ming Dynasty also provided William with some basic help.

A quantity of food, seeds, fertilizer, tools, building materials, machinery and equipment was provided.

10,000 former German nobles became Wilhelm's people, and Wilhelm took them to cut down wood and build temporary houses here, and open up the wasteland for farming.

These nobles, who had been pampered for many years, had to study hard to be farmers under the extreme pressure of survival.

If he didn't want to, William could have returned them to Da Ming, or shot them himself.

William, as a state governor, could have his own guard, with a ceiling of fifteen hundred people.

However, at present, the state of Sauron was extremely poor, and William had organized a guard of less than a hundred men, and the guard also had to farm.

William and his people worked hard for almost a year, and most of William's and below people finally barely had their own humble accommodation.

The nobles who came at the beginning also died in about half of the year because they did not adapt to the climate or overwork.

This is the southern corner of the western part of Mozhou, which generally belongs to the tropical rainforest climate, and the rain and heat are very abundant.

With the fertilizer and tools provided by the Ming Dynasty, the Soren Prefecture achieved a bumper harvest in the fifth year of the Grand Duke, and the rations were immediately self-sufficient.

When Dagong achieved the second bumper harvest in six years, not only was he able to be self-sufficient in rations, but also had a part of the grain left.

A small part of it was used to make wine, some was used to raise livestock, and the remaining part was sold to the official grain merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

Although there is no shortage of grain in the Ming Dynasty, the purchase price of grain is quite low.

But the German aristocracy, who had become peasants, were now able to obtain direct income by selling grain.

On the evening of May 10, William took a bath in his lord's cabin and lay down in bed reading the newspaper.

Seeing the news of the successful launch of Daming's fake moon, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh again, feeling that the world had changed too much.

lamented how stupid his father was in dragging Daming into the war.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.

Someone could be seen shouting loudly.

William put down the newspaper with some irritation, picked up a rifle, and went out to gather a few guards, and then went to investigate what was going on.

The lord's house is the center of the entire wooden house village, and not far in front of it is the clearing in the center of the entire village.

A man in his thirties was yelling at him in the clearing.

It seems to say that the Ming Dynasty turned German men into slaves and German women into prostitutes.

Shouting and telling the others that your wives who remained in Germany may now be serving laborers and peasants who don't know where.

There was already a circle of people around, and some of them seemed to be a little excited, obviously affected by the man's words.

Two other young men were holding on to the yelling man, as if to persuade him to stop screaming.

William hurried over and asked loudly:

"What the hell is going on!"

The lord appeared, and the surroundings immediately fell silent.

And when the roaring man saw William, he seemed to be more energetic, and shouted at William:

"Your Highness, we can't go on like this, it's just that the Ming people have turned us into slaves, and they have also turned our wives and daughters into prostitutes!"

William took a look at the man's appearance and felt that he had obviously drunk too much, and his whole body exuded a strong smell of alcohol.

And there is a very bright bruise on his face, which seems to have been smashed with the butt of a gun.

William asked him in a loud voice, a little annoyed:

"Where did you hear this nonsense!"

The drunken man immediately said:

"We went to Fucheng today, where there was a prostitution house run by the Persians.

"Where I met a noble lady of Lucia, who told me about her misery.

"In the occupied areas of the Ming Dynasty, unmarried girls will become mistresses of the Ming occupation forces.

"Married wives are sent to prostitutes to work as prostitutes.

Although she did not go to Germany, Daming obviously carried out this kind of thing as a unified system......

"That Lady Lucia told me these things, and I went to question the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty.

"As a result, they beat me up, slandered which lady was lying to me, and hung her up and beat her......"

William felt that the Ming people would not do this kind of thing, so what so-called aristocratic lady was obviously a joke, so he looked at the two people beside the man:

"What the hell is going on?"

A young man in his twenties next to the man hesitated for a few seconds and spoke:

"That...... The brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty said that the Lucia woman was originally a prostitute.

"The areas directly ruled by the Ming did not need such prostitutes, so they were handed over to the Persians and sent to Mozhou to do the business of Taixi immigrants.

"The prostitute deliberately said that she was a noble lady, but in fact she was just trying to find a way to raise her value.

"Jin Yiwei taught them a lesson, not because this woman said that she was the noble lady of Lucia, but because she lied about the Ming people's treatment of Tessie and discredited the Ming court."

William subconsciously asked:

"Did the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty explain to you how they dealt with the noble families left behind in the country?"

The young man recalled:

"It seems to mean that most of the unmarried girls, married young women without children, are married to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's not our Taixi's mistress, but the kind of concubine who is inferior to his wife in the Ming Dynasty, who has a marriage deed, and the children also have the right to inherit.

"Those who have minor children are arranged to work in factories so that they can continue to support their children......

"If someone really wants to be a prostitute, the Ming people will not stop ......"

William breathed a sigh of relief:

"This is in line with Daming's style......"

However, the drunken man immediately exclaimed:

"He lies, the Ming people lie, and the Ming people never keep their promises.

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty said that he would not occupy Taixi, but in the end he directly seized our homeland.

"Drove us to this hot wilderness to be peasant ......"

After hearing this, William shouted loudly:

"Da Ming asked us to stop the war three times in a row, and we didn't accept Da Ming's warning!

"When we took the initiative to attack the United Kingdom, this future country of the Ming prince was not forced by the Ming Dynasty.

"Take 10,000 steps back, what can the Ming people do if they really do the things you said, what else can you do besides getting drunk and crazy here?

"Want to rebel? Waiting to be burned directly to ashes by the divine punishment weapon of the Ming Dynasty, leaving no residue at all?

"If you are unwilling to accept defeat and let the victor dispose of it, why didn't you choose to die on the battlefield in the first place, but finally chose to surrender!

"You stupid enemies who challenge the impossible, cowards who take the initiative to abandon their families and children to survive afterwards, who are in a position to complain about these things now?

"Since we initiated the war in the first place, we must be prepared to lose everything!"

Then William stopped looking at the man and turned to the guards beside him:

"Put him in a dungeon to sober up, if he wakes up tomorrow and still has this virtue, he will shoot me directly!"

The two guards immediately stepped forward and left the scene with the drunken man in hand.

William looked at the others around him and shouted and commanded them:

"Go back to sleep for me, and get up on time tomorrow to work!"

William watched everyone leave before returning to his room.

William's analysis of what happened today is nothing more than full of lust.

With food and shelter, and even began to accumulate some money, they began to want women.

We have to find a way to solve this problem.
