"A nation of gun-toting mobs..."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his head started to hurt!
When he became emperor, he worked conscientiously for seventeen years. Now it seems that he did a lot of stupid things, but he worked very hard to be the emperor. However, the Ming Dynasty was almost overthrown by the rebellious mob.
As for those mobs, not everyone had a gun; at most, everyone had a knife. A knife is so dangerous, but a gun...
"Father, how are we going to govern this country where everyone is armed with a gun and a mob?" Henry Chu frowned, feeling a little bit guilty about his father, because he also has a country of mobs!
That Henry Island has fertile land, comfortable climate, and a large territory. But there is a group of shirtless indigenous mobs on the island, they are very unreasonable!
They refuse to work hard and pay taxes obediently. They don't even want them to work and pay taxes. They even come to rob the immigrant group's belongings!
The immigrants sent by the Mancini Tea Company and the Portuguese-Macao Company to colonize Henry Island had many conflicts with this unreasonable indigenous mob, but many people died!
As a last resort, all immigrants had to be equipped with flintlock guns!
So Henry Island is now an island of mobs with everyone holding a gun... In the future, if he wants to conquer this country, how will he be the king? Wouldn't he be shot to death by the mob? Forget it, just be a peace officer in the country. When you have a son, ask him to be the king of the mob.
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Henry, don't worry about the mob with guns. My father taught you a trick...The mob has to eat meat. If everyone has a gun, everyone has to eat meat! If the mob eats meat, then they won't Rebellion."
Eat meat? Henry Chu thought to himself: But meat is very expensive! The income of being a ninth-grade sesame official here in the Ming Dynasty is not enough to allow the whole family to eat meat every day, and the mob has to eat every meal...
"Then what do the obedient people eat?" Emperor Chongzhen asked curiously: "The mob eats meat, but what do the obedient people eat?"
Zhu Cixiang glanced at him and said with a smile: "My father is joking, don't you know what the obedient people eat? The obedient people eat grass!"
If there is no grass to eat, it is time to rise up... At that time, the obedient people will become a mob and they will all eat meat! Didn’t our ancestors of the Ming Dynasty transform from obedient people to mobs, and then from mobs to carnivores? "
The submissive people and the mob, the mob and the pampered dandy, are all interchangeable. The reason why obedient people turn into mobs is, firstly, to adapt to the environment; secondly, they are forced by life.
The gun-toting mobs in Xinzhou, Nanzhou, and Xichu were forced out by the local living environment. Guns are a necessity!
In the land of the Ming Dynasty, mobs were often forced by life... The contradiction between man and land is obvious, and the policy of equally dividing the land to support the people cannot be sustained - because it will cause the population to grow faster!
"Charter King" Zhu Cibing took a breath: "The mob eats meat, and the obedient people eat grass... Doesn't that mean everyone wants to become a mob? But how can there be so much meat for them to eat!"
He is the "King of Rent", so he must be afraid of revolution. If there is revolution... he will not be able to collect rent happily! He is such a smart person, of course he can understand the essence of revolution - the essence of revolution is that someone wants to rob his property and land!
Zhu Cixiang waved his hand, "Don't be afraid... After all, the people of our Ming Dynasty are still more obedient! As long as the obedient people have something to stutter, it will not be so easy to become a mob. And as long as the number of mobs is not too large, there will always be meat for them. Food. The Ming Dynasty didn’t have enough local meat to eat, so they sent them to eat outside where there were more people and less meat.”
This sounds very unambitious, but it is the reality!
Zhu Cixiang paused and then said: "The three countries of Xinzhou, Nanzhou, and Xichu are used to absorb this group of mobs... As long as these three countries can continue to absorb the redundant mobs and those who cannot survive here, If we obey the people, our world in the Ming Dynasty will be stable. This is why I don't care whether Xinzhou, Nanzhou, or Xichu observe etiquette."
To put it bluntly, Xinzhou, Nanzhou, and Xichu are the three huge patches created by Zhu Cixiang for his feudal dynasty!
As for whether these three patches are the Kingdom of the King and the Father, it actually doesn’t matter. Just like the United States that fought for independence in history, even though it fought two wars with the United Kingdom, domestic anti-British sentiment was always high (until before World War I), but this country was still absorbing the problems that the British Isles and even the entire Europe could not survive. poor. Objectively, it has greatly stabilized the old order in the United Kingdom and even the entire Europe... Without a carnivorous mob state like the United States working hard to absorb the hard-working European people who cannot survive, the world revolution would have broken out long ago!
Zhu Cixiang looked at Zhu Cibing: "Lao Liu, you are a smart person. Once you get to Xichu, you will know everything after you take a closer look!"
Zhu Cixiang wants to cultivate the "Charter King"!
The King of Fortune, Zhu Cibing, was extremely smart and did not have much ambition. He was also very close to Wu Sanmei (Wu Sanmei always failed to give birth to a son in her early years, so Zhu Cibing was taken in by her as her son for a while). He also had a good relationship with Prince Luck.
With some experience, you may be able to become a "house renter" in the future.
…
When the father and son brothers of Lao Zhu's family were discussing what the mob should eat, Niu Laoliu and his family, who were deceived into taking a "mob card" in Jiningwei, Anbei, have now crossed the Pacific and arrived at the mob on the mainland of North Xinzhou. The country - the journey was not pleasant. The wind and waves on the sea were very strong. The sailboat their family was traveling on was bumpy and bumpy. Except for the sailors who had been sailing all year round, everyone vomited into a mess. But that's not the worst part. The worst part is the thick fog that's common in the North Pacific in the summer.
Strong winds and waves are common in the North Pacific in winter, which can easily capsize ships. Therefore, ships using the Kuroshio's eastward route often leave Japan in the summer. However, thick fog is common in the North Pacific in summer, which can easily lead to loss of navigation and ship collisions... On the way eastward, a serious collision occurred in the fleet where Niu Laoliu and his family belonged, and two ships were involved in a serious collision. The wooden boats carrying hundreds of tons were damaged and one of them could not be repaired, so it had to be abandoned. More than a hundred people were injured in this accident, and seven or eight people fell into the water and were missing. Several people later died of their injuries.
However, the sailors who were on the same ship as Niu Laoliu told him that their voyage this time was quite smooth, and the number of people lost was not too many...those who drowned, fell to death, and died of illness were not counted together. Reaching five percent!
So when they arrive at their destination, all sailors will get a generous bonus!
Niu Laoliu and his family disembarked at the American Harbor City in the United States of New Zealand. The dock where they disembarked belonged to a military port and was heavily guarded - this was for fear that they would escape! Here in Xinzhou, you can dig gold, hunt for fur, and there is a lot of fertile land... so it is not difficult for Niu Laoliu and his family to live comfortably here.
After Lao Liu took his wife and children off the ship, he was taken directly to a military camp by the army officers and soldiers of the United States of New Zealand who were guarding there.
There, Niu Laoliu met Wang Qianhu again who tricked him into coming to Xinzhou.
Wang Qianhu was still so polite, without any official airs. He led a group of people to personally guard the school grounds of the camp, registered the new military households one by one (nomadic households), and distributed daily necessities. and rations.
When he saw Lao Liu's family, he said cheerfully: "Niu Lao Liu... there are seven people! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... they are all here! Okay, one person and one fur." Clothes, a blanket, a flintlock, a bayonet, a machete, three javelins, a set of cooking utensils for each household..."
Niu Laoliu suspected that he had not heard clearly and asked again: "Master Qianhu, do you mean one flintlock gun per person?"
"One for each person," Wang Qianhu nodded, "your family will receive seven flintlock guns!"
"Seven? But there are only two adults in the E family, and the other five are all babies. They are not as big as guns, and three of them are girls..."
Wang Qianhu said with a smile: "What's wrong with the baby? After a few years, won't it make it big? You have to practice shooting from a baby when you play with guns... Now learn to load bullets, and then practice shooting after you have learned how to do it. When you grow up, you will He's a sharpshooter. Hurry up and get your rations after you get the gun."
