Chapter 499: Kangxi's Rebirth - I Want to Reverse the Ming Dynasty and Restore the Qing Dynasty!
As soon as he thought of the anti-Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi's blood began to boil!
That third prince Zhu can succeed in reversing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, why can't he Kang Mazi succeed in reversing the Ming Dynasty and restoring the Qing Dynasty?
And if you think about it carefully, this anti-Ming and Qing Dynasty seems to be really playing!
Since the beginning of the Xuanzong Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has been in a state of internal friction of "the dispute between the monarchs". The Heaven and Earth Society and the Imperial Party fight every day in the council, and it is difficult for the prime minister to be re-elected, and often there is no second time after a four-year term. And every time the phase changes, it will cause major changes in the domestic and foreign policies of the Ming Dynasty!
And this kind of internal friction in the Ming Dynasty inevitably affected the huge world system created by Li Yat-sen for the Ming Dynasty. Because the royal family and nobles of the Ming Dynasty are all transnational magnates, and their branches are all over the world system of the Ming Dynasty. This kind of multinational distribution of the elite system, although it can make the connection between the Ming and the "son states" and vassal states very close. But it is also easy to internationalize the internal politics of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the opposition between the royal family and the nobles has also caused the division and turmoil of the Ming world system!
The royal families and offices of many vassal states of the Ming Dynasty often followed their clans in the Ming Dynasty to stand in line, forming two camps of "republican" vassal states and "monarchical" vassal states. It should be pointed out that the "republican faction" in the Ming vassal system is not necessarily "republican", and the "monarchy" is not necessarily the monarch's power.
In addition, in the world system of China, there are still three non-vassal states, a Yang dynasty whose strength exceeds that of the Zhu Ming royal family, and the freak existence of the Pingxi Wangfu of the Ming Dynasty!
These existences have made the struggle within the Chinese world system even more complicated, and it has become a mess!
According to the relevant content that Kangxi found from Zhu Xuanye's memory, the three non-vassal states in the Chinese world system (not counting the Ming itself) are the Zhou Empire in Central Asia, the Japanese State across the sea from the Ming Dynasty, and the Aztec Republic on the New World on the other side of the ocean.
Among them, the situation of the Zhou Empire and the Japanese State was not very good, and the Zhou Empire conquered Persia in the late Taizong Dynasty (Wu Shifan was Zhou Taizong), and the national power reached its peak.
However, with the successive deaths of Wu Shifan and Wu Shicong, the "wise and virtuous ministers", there was also a "dispute between the monarchs and ministers" within the Zhou Empire. However, unlike the battle between the kings of the Ming Dynasty, the dispute between the kings of the Zhou Empire was actually a struggle between the two branches of the Wu and Zhou royal families!
At the same time as the dispute between Wu Zhoujun and Wu Zhoujun, there was an even more fierce sectarian struggle! One side of the sectarian struggle was the Confucian Zhongyou School from the Central Plains - this was the "Proto-Confucian School" developed by the Confucian Zhongyou School, which advocated armed transmission of Confucianism and the unity of the Confucian clan with the Confucian School as the center. On the other hand, there are traditional sects in Central and West Asia
However, what really caused Wu Zhou's national strength to decline was not these internal struggles within Wu Zhou, but the Golden Horde War launched by Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty.
The original Golden Horde and Wu Zhou relied on each other, and Wu Zhou relied on a large number of cavalry provided by the Golden Horde to complete the suppression of Persia, and at the same time constantly invaded India, extorting New Year's coins from the weakened Indian Timurid Dynasty, and lived a very nourishing life.
The Golden Horde, on the other hand, relied on the weapons and equipment obtained from Wu Zhou to fight with the Rakshasas, and its power once expanded to the Volga Valley!
But after the Ming destroyed the Golden Horde, Wu Zhou lost his most reliable ally!
Although Wu Zhou later used various means to pocket most of the territory after the Ming Dynasty withdrew from the Kipchak steppe, he also collected the khans of the Golden Horde and turned them into his vassals. However, the Mongol tribes of the ruined Golden Horde were no longer able to provide Wu Zhou with a large number of cavalry to suppress Persia and invade India, and Wu Zhou had to defend his new territory in the Kipchak steppe against the powerful Rakshasa Empire!
As a result, Wu Zhou's transition from prosperity to decline was inevitable, and even Persia, which had been conquered by Wu Zhou, was lost due to a major uprising.
However, the weakened Zhou Empire still had a strength that should not be underestimated, especially the Confucian Zhongyou School (also known as the original Confucian School), which had long been at the forefront of the sectarian struggle, after the empire began to weaken, it was vigorously supported by the empire, grew rapidly, and finally grew into the pillar of the empire, and began to spread throughout the Chinese world system. Even Constantinople had branches and schools of the Middle Causes!
Unlike the once-powerful Wu Zhou, the Japanese state has been in a state of chaos and turmoil for more than 100 years - who let them get too close to the Ming Dynasty and not want to be completely Ming like Korea? However, with the death of Li Yat-sen, the Ming Dynasty's interest in intervening and manipulating Japan's civil strife has also weakened, so the intensity of the Japanese civil war has also increased! And high-intensity civil wars often don't last long.
As a result, from the end of the 18th century, there were signs of reunification in Japan. The Yang family, who ruled the entire Kyushu except Satsuma and Osumi, appeared; control of the Shimazu family, who ruled Satsuma, Osumi and all of Shikoku; Owned the Maori family of more than ten countries in the western part of the state; jointly controlled and part of the Tokaido region, and controlled the Emperor, Hotta, and Yamauchi families of the Japanese Imperial Court; the Tokugawa family, who ruled Kanhachishu; the Maeda family, who ruled the four states of Koshin Junyuan; the Uesugi family, who ruled Hokuriku; Eight major forces such as the Date family, which rules the Tohoku region of Japan!
In addition, the long civil war and large population made Japan the main source of mercenaries in the Chinese world system. Even far away on the side of Constantinople, there are Japanese mercenary regiments!
Basically, anyone with money can hire troops from the eight major forces in Japan!
And the main employer of Japanese mercenaries is the most unruly Aztec Republic in the Chinese system!
This republic is somewhat similar to the Pingxi royal palace in Constantinople, a "trans-system" existence, which is part of both the Chinese world system and the Western Christian (including Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox) world system.
The Aztec Republic was led by a radical republican faction - the country had no hereditary monarch, not even a hereditary consul, and everyone in the country was eligible to run for president.
Because the Aztec Republic was fundamentally opposed to hereditary monarchy, the relationship between the country and the Great Ming Dynasty began to deteriorate gradually after the death of Li Yat-sen, and after waiting for the Ming Xuanzong and the Imperial Party to take power, a long war even broke out between the Ming and the Aztec Republic.
Shortly after the MingβAztec War, the Aztec Republic, which had abandoned its expansion to the north (after the war, the Ming vassal states of the United States and the Aztecs had lost their borders along a military demarcation line farther north than the U.S.-Mexico border) turned to South America, annexing the New Granada Viceroyalty of the Kingdom of Spain, and supporting the establishment of an Inca Republic that would occupy the entire Peruvian Viceroyalty.
In addition to the "non-Ming vassal states" in these three Chinese systems, the Yang dynasty, which was rich in empress dowagers, also posed a certain threat to the rule of the Zhu Ming dynasty and the stability of the Ming dynasty.
This Yang dynasty was founded by Yang Qilong, which not only ruled the Korean kingdom, but also had numerous branches, which in turn ruled most of Kyushu in Japan, the Ezo kingdom (Ezo and Sakhalin), the North American kingdom (Alaska and western Canada), and the North Sea kingdom (the coast of East Siberia including the Kamchatka Peninsula), and also in all the "state and non-state military and political entities" in the Chinese world system, including the Ming Dynasty, the Republic of Art, and the Pingxi Prince's Palace. Quite a strong influence.
Even Kangxi's biological mother in this life also came from the "Golden Horde Yang Clan", that is, the branch of the Yang family in the original Golden Horde, after the fall of the Golden Horde, the Golden Horde Yang clan and the Golden Horde Horde Rouros Dynasty took refuge in the Rakshasa Kingdom. Later, these two families and their subordinates were arranged by Empress Elizabeth to Constantinople and became the regent of the empire and the right-hand man of the guardian of the castle.
In addition, the Yang dynasty also has a tradition of running banks, and is one of the best financial families in the Chinese world. After moving into Constantinople, the Golden Horde opened the Bank of Constantinople and built the Castle into a financial center serving the Rakshasas, the Ottoman Empire, and the powerful people of the Balkan Peninsula.
As for Zhu Xuanye's forces, that is, the regent of the Eastern Roman Empire, the guardian of the king's castle, and the Pingxi Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, although they are not comparable to Wu Zhou, Aztec, Japan and the Yang Dynasty, the capital is not small!
It has been in the castle for more than 100 years, and has great influence among the Rakshasa countries, the Ottoman Empire, and the Balkan countries!
And also with the mighty Constantine legions!
This Legion of Kingsburg not only fought against the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans and Asia Minor for more than 100 years, but also participated in all the large-scale foreign wars of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and was the elite soldier of the Megatron Europa, known as the Empress's Sword - this is because the Constantine Legion made great achievements during the reign of Empress Elizabeth and Catherine the Great, and it was known that wherever the Empress pointed her finger, the legion fought!
And Zhu Xuanye's great-grandfather and grandfather also became the lovers of Empress Elizabeth and Catherine the Great
In addition, the Pingxi royal palace also had close ties with the "Acapulco Dynasty" of the Aztec Republic, and there was also an alliance with the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and even had many friends in Japan!
If Kangxi can become the next generation of imperial regent and guardian of the king's castle, then everything is possible
Just as he was thinking wildly, a beautiful face like a porcelain doll suddenly poked into the door of the garden, and he looked left and right, as if he was looking for someone.
As soon as he saw her, Kangxi's mood improved a lot.
Before Kangxi could stand up, the owner of this face plate, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old tall Mao Mei wearing a gray military uniform, strode over, arrived at Kangxi's recliner, and then gracefully knelt down on one knee, and spoke fluent Chinese: "My prince, President Kong, please come over." β
"Principal Kong looking for me?" Kangxi thought for a while and said, "Am I not recuperating from my injuries?" The last time I was stabbed with a bayonet by the French in Italy, I smashed my head and had to recuperate! Natasha, you go and talk to Principal Kong, will you let me raise it for a few more days? β
"My prince," Natasha said with a smile, "last time. It's August 1799, and it's been a few months, and your little wound has long since healed! I know that best."
Kangxi rolled his eyes, but it was not good to reprimand this female adjutant who was loyal to him - the Junbao Legion has had a tradition of using female soldiers since the Changning era. Although after Chang Ning's death, the female soldiers of Junbao no longer participated in the front-line combat, they were still active in the Junbao Army as medical personnel, intelligence officers, female adjutants and female guards.
"Okay then" Kangxi had to reluctantly get up from the recliner, and while following Natasha to the door, he asked angrily: "What is Principal Kong looking for me for?" Or is it for the re-exam? β
Rector Kong was the head of the Confucian Zhongyou faction in the castle, the president of the University of Constantinople, and a senior advisor to the regent of the empire and the guardian of the castle. And the Junbao Kong clan, to which Principal Kong belongs, is called the four major families of Junbao together with the Zhu family, the Golden Horde Yang clan and the Junbao Yuros clan.
Before Zhu Xuanye (Kangxi) followed Marshal Suvorov to Italy to fight the French, he studied at the University of Junbao. Because I don't work too hard, I always play with my personal female adjutant, so I hung up several classes and haven't got my graduation certificate until now. And that Principal Kong refused to open the back door for him, and insisted that Zhu Xuanye go to the make-up exam. Take the three courses of "Confucianism", "Manchurian Chinese", and "History of the Great Qing Dynasty"!
How does this make Kangxi take the test?
accidentally got a perfect score in the exam, won't his stupid son of the Pingxi Wang family collapse?
Then his two brothers should be suspicious of him!
So he has to maintain his image of a scumbag who is brave and unscrupulous and doesn't like to read, and then secretly looks for an opportunity to kill his brother and inherit his father's position. When he becomes the regent of the empire and the guardian of the castle, then he can start to advance his plan to oppose the Ming Dynasty and restore the Qing Dynasty.
"It's not for retakes," Natasha said, "as if to arrange for you to study abroad." β
"Study abroad?" Zhu Xuanye was stunned, "Where to study?" β
"Go to France!" Natasha smiled and said, "The Lord Regent wants to arrange for a prince to study in France, and by the way, he approaches a prince named Bonaparte. Napoleon's people. Lord Regent thinks this man is going to be a huge problem! β
"Napoleon. Bonaparte? Kangxi thought for a while, "Is that the young French general?" What is he doing now? β
Natasha said: "He is now the first consul of the ruling government of the French Republic!" β
