Chapter 476: The Legend of the Great Ming Immortal Dynasty

Last time, I talked about the Ming Dynasty in a different time and space, not only remotely controlled the "little brother" Portugal to disturb the Western world, but also immigrated to the Americas on a large scale to assimilate the Indians.

In another time and space, although the Ming Dynasty immigrated to the American continent on a large scale, it would not be like Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain, France, Italy, Belgium and other old capitalist countries "lose", that is, plundered the land of the Indians by force, and even used blankets, clothes, bowls and spoons infected with "smallpox", "typhoid fever" and "syphilis" to mass-murder Indians, but through leasing, joint ventures, buying and selling and other ways to obtain land.

Because the social development level of the American Indians is generally not high, even if there is a "rebellious existence" such as "Mayan civilization", it is almost at the end of the primitive society in terms of production methods and lifestyles, and even "pig iron" does not know how to smelt, and the use rate of "bronze" is very low, and it is still in the "Neolithic Age" on the whole. Amazingly, however, these Indians were not only proficient in astronomical calendars and witch doctor divination, but also at silverware.

As a result, the "export" of the Indian tribes to the local Ming garrisons and immigrants was converted from the original mink, herbs, grain, livestock, linen and other daily necessities into various gold and silver utensils. In addition, the Ming Dynasty deliberately dumped a large number of handmade products, clothing and alcohol on Indian tribes around the country and bribed Indian chiefs, so that the wealth of the Indians was quickly transferred to the hands of the Ming Dynasty, especially the silver abundant in the Americas was almost all owned by the Ming Dynasty!

In this way, the Ming Dynasty mastered the vast majority of the world's wealth, and finally gradually turned the "embarrassing" situation in the early years because of relying on the transformation of "barite" into "silver" to circulate in the world. However, due to the fact that there were too many "fake money and silver taels" issued in the early days, even after more than ten years of high-interest recovery, it still could not put an end to the embarrassment of "fake money" circulating outside the territory, which forced the Ming Dynasty to focus on plundering silver when expanding outward, so as not to "collapse of credibility".

The reason why it is said that if the "fake money" of the Ming Dynasty is not recovered, it will cause a "collapse of credibility", because there are "inscriptions" and "patterns" at the bottom of the "official silver", which is difficult to fake. As a result, the Ming Dynasty decided to use its huge economic volume to control the economy of the overseas vassal states that had done "tributary trade" with it back then.

Through the means of market economy, the Ming Dynasty encouraged private merchants to go to the Nanyang countries to carry out bottom-buying activities under the guise of "tributary trade", and disrupted the market order by purchasing a large number of them or selling them at low prices, and under the stimulation of huge profits, they tried to provide the Ming Dynasty's domestic market with a single bulk product, such as rice, fruits, sugar, sisal, timber, coal, copper and iron, fish and shrimp, cattle and sheep, and even population, and controlled its economic lifeline.

As a result, after many wealthy maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty gradually controlled the local socio-economic and financial system, they were able to transfer their wealth back to the country at any time, or bury the "hard currency" such as gold and silver, jewelry, and jade deep underground to preserve their value, or take them to the "Ming Money" and "Ming Pawn" opened by the imperial court to do some deposits, mortgages, sales and other businesses, and enjoy an annual deposit interest of 5%, or simply donate a "liuguan" to be a "liuguan".

Due to the fact that the Ming Dynasty implemented the parallel policy of "flowing official system" and "local official system" in the process of foreign expansion, many rural gentry or wealthy families decided to "donate money to buy officials" to avoid the "imperial examination" after enjoying the "dividends of the times" and "policy dividends". However, this kind of "spending money to buy officials" is generally not of high grade, and you can only be a "nine-grade sesame official" such as some "county orders" (county masters), and if you want to enter the central power, you must first "gain fame"!

In fact, this is also a helpless move that Emperor Chongzhen had to make in order to recover "fake money", after all, "issuing fake money" is cool for a while, but its "sequelae" is very serious. Of course, the Ming Dynasty had extremely developed "spy agencies" and powerful "spy agencies," and as long as these "county magistrates" and "parent officials" who had been paid to buy officials were reported to have "bent the law for bribes," they would immediately receive a "judicial investigation," and those with bad influence would be taken over by the "secret services."

However, this is a "sweet treaty" for the "officials" who spent thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver to "donate", although they did not dare to openly challenge the authority of the "Great Ming Law" and the "Great Message" in the mainland, but in the "overseas colonies" of the Ming Dynasty, they were very popular, because "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", turning a blind eye.

Therefore, in the process of the Ming Dynasty's external expansion in this time and space, it was often not the big officials, generals and low-level people in the court officials who were the most active, but these "well-informed" wealthy businessmen, wealthy families and gentry families, after all, as long as they donate money to buy officials, they can apply to go to the "overseas territories" to show their "ambitions", who wouldn't want to? The so-called "the sea is wide and the fish jumps, the sky is high and the birds fly", the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, let it play! Let's earn the capital back first!

Of course, for foreign subjects, it also requires a "Juche civilization" to imperceptibly change, whether it is "Westerners" or "Orientals", they all have their own fixed thinking, living habits, cultural traditions and religious beliefs, and only through long-term exchanges and profound comparisons can we know which is better and which is inferior. As a result, the Europeans, who originally believed in "Christianity", found their lives more and more difficult since they became "trading vassals" of Portugal and the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the subjects of the "Ottoman Empire" who believed in "Islam" gradually found that their lives were becoming more and more difficult, because the "sultans" (kings) had repeatedly raised taxes to buy large quantities of arms from the Ming Dynasty in order to defeat the powerful enemies in the north, although they eventually won.

At this time, the "Ottoman Turkish Empire" occupied the coast of the "Black Sea" and even the Eastern European Plain in the Northern Expedition, not only gaining the endless Great Plains and Black Land, but also capturing a large number of Tsarist Russian soldiers as slaves. At the same time, a large number of Slavic women were also kidnapped and trafficked to repay the huge "military expenses" owed to the "Ming Dynasty". Of course, Chongzhen accepted all of this, castrated male captives as servants, and rewarded female slaves to border soldiers.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty gradually reversed the pattern of world development in time and space by virtue of its strong strength, completely interrupted the "Renaissance" of Western capitalism, and replaced it with "absolutist centralized political concept" and political, economic and cultural systems with oriental characteristics, such as "tributary trade", "Cheng Zhu Lixue", "imperial examination", "Eight Gu Zhishi", etc., so that the development of modern "scientific and technological civilization" came to an abrupt end and was replaced by "Xiuzhen" and "Xuanxuan".

However, the "monotheistic religions" in the West were very disturbed by this, whether it was "Christianity" or "Islam", and their "followers" in the areas ruled by the Ming Dynasty were ready to act and even tried to rebel. In this regard, the Ming Dynasty government did not give in, and issued a decree to severely punish the "Diao people" and "anti-thieves" on the surface, and secretly asked the "Xichang" to coordinate the "Wudang faction", "Lubanmen", "Tenglongzhai", "Nanban Five Poison Sect" and "Fengming Qishan" and other Xiuzhen forces to encircle, pursue, intercept and assassinate them.

As a result, no matter in the downtown area or remote villages, or even in the south and north of Xinjiang, there are often people who see "fairy fights", but most of the time it is the "Chinese immortals" who beat the "foreign gods", whether it is the "zombies", "undead", "Voldemort", "orcs", "vampires", "giants", "dark angels" or "clergy" and "angels in white" of the "monotheistic religion", they will not escape their doom under the siege of groups of "cultivators" whose strength is not weaker than their own!

At the same time, the "Pope of Rome" and the "Messenger of Allah" successively sent "plenipotentiary envoys" to the Ming Dynasty to seek reconciliation, hoping that they would not continue to fight with each other, so as not to be invaded by the "demons" in the air. After bargaining, all parties reached a consensus that while respecting each other and not violating each other, they should resolutely defend the "theocracy" on their respective territories and eliminate all so-called "heresies."

In the eyes of these "conservative forces", the so-called "heresy" is the "capitalist liberals" and "atheism" of the West. Of course, such "usury financial capital" that has no "backstage" and relies on parasitism to circulate around the world in other societies is the target of the attack, and once discovered, it will directly confiscate all its property and reduce the entire family or even the whole clan to slavery, while the "Jews" who are good at cheating, abducting, and lending money have become the key targets.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the tripartite forces decided not to interfere in "worldly affairs" ("mundane affairs"), and agreed not to send "supernatural beings" and "cultivators" such as "clergy" or "wandering monks" to each other's territory to "preach" ("preaching"), and if anyone dared to disobey the "will of the gods", he would be "cursed" and suffer the consequences, and after death he could not enter "heaven" but only "hell". This "punishment" is simply "fatal" for the "Western missionaries"!

However, this is not necessarily a "good thing" for the Ming Dynasty? Because the imperial court could use this "incident" as a "statement", it first "pulled the tiger's skin as a banner" and issued an underground edict to "Xiaoyu" in the northwest, and within a year limit, all "Muslims" were allowed to either give up their original beliefs and then continue to live within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, or continue to believe in "Islam" and move abroad. In this regard, the local government and garrison will cooperate with the people to hand over safely.

Thus, in a different time and space, the de-Islamization of "Xinjiang in the Western Regions" began vigorously in the "seventeenth year of Chongzhen" (1644) of the Ming Dynasty. This was followed by "Tibetan Buddhism", "Xuanmen Taoism", "Shamanism", "Persian Zoroastrianism", "Indian Brahmanism" and so on once again spread throughout the "Western Regions of Xinjiang".

At this time, just when Emperor Chongzhen was about to usher in the "Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation" because of the "consummation of merit" and broke through the realm and advanced to the "Yuanying True Monarch", suddenly a huge "Immortal Cultivation Mission" descended on the world. I saw that there were thousands of disciples of these so-called "Righteous Path Alliance", although most of them were only "building a foundation" in the cultivation realm, but there were also dozens of "True Pill Stage" and one "Yuan Infant Stage" cultivator, all of whom stepped on the dark clouds and came to hover over the Forbidden City.

"Don't be the emperor's child, do you know what I mean?" The leading "Yuanying True Monarch" snorted coldly: "The predecessors of the 'Realm Spirit' of the Kunlun Secret Realm have an order, from now on, the cultivation realm of the Oriental Island Country will be placed under the jurisdiction of the 'Xiuzhen Great Alliance', and 'Sendai', as the 'teleportation array' leading to the upper realm, will also be under the management of the 'Great Alliance'......"

I'm sorry, as the original author of "this book", I regret to tell you that because I am too busy with work, I don't have enough rest time to write for hobbies, so it seriously affects the update speed of this book. In addition, the book almost did not achieve the expected goals in terms of conception, layout, logical reasoning, writing style, character portrayal, scene description, and how to highlight the theme idea, so I had to give up.

However, before giving up on "this book" completely, I will try my best to condense the subsequent "outline" and use the method of "dragonfly and water" to pass it through, so as not to be banned for being suspected of too many sensitive topics, and I will not have to spend too much time quoting materials to "decorate the façade", which makes people feel nondescript.

But in this way, the "book" will be pressed the "fast forward button", the number of chapters will be greatly reduced, and the regrets left behind can only be filled by time. However, if the conditions permit in the future, I think I will still take the time to try to continue to create the "Heaven and Earth Let Me Go" series" book, so that all "Taoist friends" will not have regrets!

Of course, as a "resident work", you must abide by the rules of the "website platform", do not write those things that are not allowed to be written, and try not to cause trouble to others!
