Zhu Jianyan, Emperor Xingdao of the Ming Dynasty, was an emperor who reigned for a very long time, almost comparable to Zhu Cixiang! Because his father did not live long, and his eldest son also had a short life. Before Zhu Jianyan reached 65 years old, he died of septicemia when he was accidentally shot on the sole of his foot by a new pistol (revolver) during a military exercise. Gone. Therefore, he can only stay as emperor for a little longer, until his grandson Zhu Zhuchuan has fully grown up.
And the Ming emperor and world leader who later took the title of "Jisheng" did another stupid thing that made Zhu Zhongshu heartbroken during his expedition to Europe to attack Emperor Napoleon and Napoleon II!
He and the Russian Crown Prince Constantine (later Constantine II), King Charles III of Hungary, King Henry III of Austria, and King Ferdinand I of Wallachia, these four European kings were actually descendants of Zhu Ming. A conspiracy of "Sleepwear World" was formulated!
That’s right, not conquest, but “sleeping clothes”!
That is to say, learn from the "Lower Body Castle" and seize the European crown through exporting princes and bed politics. Strive to inject the paternal bloodline of the Zhu Ming royal family into all the royal families around the world!
In this way, the world leader of the Ming Empire will be at ease... By then, "Brothers from across the sea will be as close to each other as we are to the end of the world"! Emperors, kings, grand dukes, sultans, and emirs of various countries all have the surname Zhu. Isn't the Ming Emperor the eldest brother of everyone? Isn’t Ming the big brother of all countries in the world? Aren’t all the countries in the world one family?
We are all a family, so reunification is of course guaranteed!
To be honest, Zhu Chuan's idea cannot be said to be unreasonable...but it is definitely outdated. Because of the feudal monarchy, after the Roman Revolution and the Napoleonic Empire, it was no longer popular in Europe. The foundation of European feudal monarchs is the feudal aristocracy that controls the land and population. Only when the aristocrats are suppressed below can the monarch be stable. However, after the Napoleonic Wars, the nobles of most European countries lost their land and population, and changed from feudal nobles to palace nobles.
Without these feudal nobles, the foundations of various feudal dynasties would be shaken and they would lose their ability to suppress the lower classes.
At the same time, because the laws and systems that were conducive to the development of capitalism promoted during Napoleon's reign had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the restored feudal dynasty did not dare to abolish them. Therefore, in the thirty or forty years after the disintegration of Napoleon's empire, almost all European countries embarked on the fast track of capitalism. On the one hand, capitalist industry and commerce developed rapidly, with factories rising from the ground and cities continuing to expand; on the other hand, farmers went bankrupt in large numbers (they would not go bankrupt when they were serfs) and moved into cities to make a living. And most of the bankrupt farmers who gathered in large numbers in cities inevitably fell into abject poverty...
The proletariat has also begun to appear in large numbers on the land of Europa!
All European feudal dynasties faced unprecedented challenges. Under this circumstance, Zhu Chuan's "sleeping world" policy not only transferred the internal conflicts of European countries to the Ming Dynasty, but also artificially accelerated the pace of exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Europe, and also accelerated the "revolutionary contagion" The speed of transmission to the mainland of Ming Dynasty.
A good deal of politics in bed, and the specter of revolution has emerged... This is "it is risky to go to bed, and you need to be cautious when marrying into a wife"!
So in the later period of Zhu Di Chuan's administration, that is, in the 1850s and 1860s, when the economic crisis and the revolutionary storm hit this great commander who once "defeated Napoleon", the already elderly Zhu Di Chuan suddenly Got into a panic.
Because the Ming emperor who came up with the foolish idea of "sleeping with the world" was actually an outdated figure. His mind was full of dynastic wars and dynastic marriages.
When he saw the telegrams indicating that the "brotherly dynasties" in Europe were in crisis one by one (the telegraph was invented in 1830), all he could think of was to ask Constantine II of Russia to send troops to help suppress them!
But Constantine II himself was also facing a revolutionary crisis. Just when he took the throne, a group of Russian Guards officers who had participated in the anti-Napoleonic war suddenly launched an uprising in Petersburg in an attempt to overthrow the Romanov dynasty. Rule, establish a republic, and abolish serfdom...
Therefore, Constantine II did not send troops to extinguish the revolution at the first time. As a result, the flames of revolution burned more and more fiercely on the European continent. Except for the Federal Republic of the Netherlands, which was originally a republic, the Kingdom of Austria and Bohemia, which had long begun to develop capitalism, and the Russian Empire in the east, all other countries were in crisis.
Constantine II's hesitation soon had serious consequences. The fragile Bourbon dynasty of Western Rome was the first to be overwhelmed by the torrent of revolution. Napoleon Bonaparte's son Napoleon II made a comeback from Corsica. With the support of the revolutionary masses, he wore a purple robe in Rome and restored the Bonaparte dynasty!
Subsequently, the son of Napoleon quickly marched to Paris, returned to the Palace of Versailles amidst the cheers of the people and the army, and once again became the Emperor of Western Rome!
Seeing the restoration of Western Rome, King Henry III of Austria, King Charles III of Hungary, Louis III of Bohemia (Bourbon Dynasty), and Ferdinand II of Wallachia, who were frightened, simply kicked away the half-dead Eastern Rome. , organized a Central European Federation on their own. It also announced the creation of a single market, a single Congress and a unified federal government.
Later, Russia's Constantine II finally reacted to the revolution in Russian Poland and dispatched 300,000 Russian troops into Poland, killing them! After suppressing the Polish revolution, it also signed an alliance treaty with the Central European Federation.
At the same time, Prussia, which gradually became stronger after the Napoleonic Wars, was inspired by the Russians' mass killings and quelled the civil strife on its own. It also launched a plan to revitalize Germany's North German Federation. And with the support of the Central European Federation and Russia - an alliance aimed at opposing Western Rome began to form.
As for Western Rome, it also received support from the Republic of England and the United Provinces of the Netherlands and began to actively prepare for war.
Almost at the same time, another situation occurred on the North American continent. This time, the province of New Spain, which belonged to the Western Roman Empire, did not continue to be loyal to the exiled Bourbon royal family. Instead, it launched an independent revolution and formed the Mexican Federation.
The Mexican Federation, the American Federation, the United Kingdom of New England, and the Great Soviet Khanate immediately formed the Great North American Alliance aimed at opposing the United States of New Zealand and the Qing Kingdom.
The American War is about to break out again!
The situation has developed to this point, it can be said to be completely out of control, and a new world war is almost on the verge of breaking out.
However, the Ming Dynasty itself was also troubled by the economic crisis and revolutionary trends at this time, and even the guards of Yingtian Mansion began to have commotion. With the popularization of compulsory education, it is now increasingly difficult for these warriors, who were trained by poor teenagers from remote border areas, to find a way out of military service. The originally educated Guards soldiers can easily take the exam after retiring. Shangguan officials. But after the education level of civilians increased significantly, it became increasingly difficult for examiners.
After the unification of Xingdao, the world situation was stable for many years, and there were no more military merits for the officers and soldiers of the Guards. Therefore, this group of Guards soldiers with no way out are easily infected by revolutionary trends arising from Europe or the mainland.
They used the excuse that Zhu Chuan "violated the ancestral system and refused to abdicate over his age (Zhu Zhu Chuan was over 65 years old at the time)" as an excuse to launch a military revolt, and killed the 20-year-old crown prince Zhu Jinglei (Zhu Jing Lei and his first wife had no children, but The relationship was very good, so it was not until the age of 46 that he took in a concubine and gave birth to Zhu Jinglei) who was promoted to the throne!
