Lu Rujie nodded. He really hated this era that overemphasized the supremacy of the nation and talked about the feelings of compatriots.
What made him even more disgusted was that many loyal followers of Zhu Youxiao in this era also said that this was true Confucianism.
"Big Brother, in my humble opinion, the world's resources are limited after all. Therefore, as long as there are strong and weak people in the world, it will be difficult to achieve equality of resources for everyone. The only thing we can do is to make our own Compatriots should enjoy more resources and strive for equal wealth for everyone within their own nation, so as to facilitate internal unity and long-term peace! However, selfish people should be curbed. Under the guise of freedom and equality, these people only think about their own interests. Maximize business, and even claim that there is no need to be loyal to the country, and there is no need to talk about the righteousness of compatriots, but only to show loyalty to everyone in the world and do good things for everyone in the world; in addition, we must also beware of such detachment from one's own clan, and A kind person who loves everyone in the world does something that makes his relatives angry and his enemies happy! If he puts down the butcher's knife, he can become a Buddha immediately. If he has never picked up the butcher's knife, why he has to go through various disasters and cannot become a Buddha immediately. ? So, I can’t stand it now, people who eat meat can’t tell the difference between humans and animals!”
Today's Ming Dynasty is making rapid progress in martial arts and crazy expansion of territory. Naturally, it has also brought about violent global integration of culture and ideas. Therefore, many bizarre things have happened around the world.
Zhu Cizhuo mentioned in his letter to Zhu Ciwei that the indistinguishability between Han and Hu was also a phenomenon.
Because with globalization, many people have indeed begun to hold the concept of globalism, and have begun to refuse to recognize nationalism, and therefore do things that are indistinguishable between Chinese and foreigners, hypocritically or sincerely.
"Who doesn't like the distinction between Han and Hu? The answer is that there are two kinds of people, one is the extremely selfish person who wants to enslave everyone in the world, and the other is the extremely selfless person who is willing to dedicate himself to everyone in the world. The former is extremely despicable, and the latter The two are extremely great, the former will fool the people of the world, and the latter will connive with the people of the world. Brother Fool is indeed committed to making the interests of the local Han people of our Han family dominate. In the future, the global suzerains and vassals will be in an orderly manner, and no one will be allowed to act haphazardly. Regardless, they even respect Hu and belittle Han!"
Zhu Ciwei also expressed his views in Zhu Cizhuo's reply.
The two of them are indeed the representatives of the royal family who currently control the real power in the Ming Empire and are the most supportive of the supremacy of the Han family.
Therefore, it is normal for these two people not to be tolerated by hypocrites and true gentlemen.
However, during this period, the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao and the sober ministers around him, as well as most Han people who just wanted to live a comfortable life for their own families, were consistent with Zhu Ciwei and Zhu Cizhuo in this regard.
For example, the Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao himself did not really have the ambition to save the suffering people in the world.
Before he traveled through time, he was just an ordinary person who was not too selfish.
After traveling through time, he did not suddenly have the ambition to save the Ming Dynasty and rewrite history.
He acted passively from the beginning.
Passively accepting oneself is already the arrangement of Emperor Qi of the Great Tomorrow.
Then, based on the desire to live and the fact that he did not want to escape the fate of his country and his family even if he escaped falling into the water, he showed the courage to not be afraid of life and death, and dared to say no to opponents and even flip the table.
Then, he was also passive because of the emergence of industrialization in the Ming Dynasty and the emergence of steam power. In order to keep his throne, he followed the trend and did things to unify the world and increase the global market in the name of rescuing serfs around the world.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao will not force everyone in the world to be equal, and he does not mind that the world respects Han people.
Of course, if the world becomes extremely wealthy in the future, for example, all-robot production can make everyone rich, and the world becomes truly great, he will not stop this trend.
But now, Zhu Youxiao will still rationally emphasize the supremacy of the Han family.
…
"You Chinese dogs don't know how to appreciate merit and dare to resist the king's order to increase taxes!"
However, there are indeed many vassal kings who, as Zhu Cizhuo said, and as Zhu Youxiao worried, began to divide Han and Hu, and many of them were even some vassal kings who Zhu Youxiao himself enfeoffed.
These kings satisfied their own selfish desires in order to better levy and extort money. In addition, the Han people who migrated from the country were richer than the local natives because they had better productivity and were more diligent. However, because they were richer, they were less united and more cowardly. , therefore, these kings colluded with the local natives at the bottom of the wealth pyramid and instead oppressed the Han immigrants in the middle class.
Zhu Changchun, the king of the Ningxi Kingdom who was granted a title by Zhu Youxiao in the Barcelona area of Spain, was such a king. He actually colluded with the local Bai Yi to oppress the Han people and Han merchants who had migrated here, and exploited these Han people and Han merchants to death.
At this time, a scholar named Yu Guozhu, like Xu Qianxue, was a Han scholar who fled overseas because he could not bear the Ming Dynasty's policy of promoting equality among Han people.
But he was not as lucky as Xu Qianxue. He became a member of the local Baiyi aristocracy. Instead, he became a slave of the local Baiyi. Now he has become a relatively high-status lackey among the slaves of the Baiyi by relying on his own ability, and because Zhu Changchun colluded with these The Baiyi nobles oppressed the Han people, and he became the number one thug among the mercenaries of the Baiyi nobles, and took the lead in oppressing the Han people and Han merchants who moved here.
Yu Guozhu used a red-hot iron to burn Hu Youming, a Han businessman from the Ming Dynasty who had opened a glass processing factory in Barcelona. He gritted his teeth and called the Han businessman a Chinese dog with contempt, as if he himself had taken off his Han Dynasty. They even feel proud to take off their Han nationality.
"ah!"
Hu Youming screamed, but he couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Spare your life! We will pay the new taxes truthfully from now on, and we will donate a share of the hard work to you, Mr. Yu. Please show your respect, Mr. Yu!"
"That's pretty much it!"
Yu Guozhu smiled proudly, and trotted up to Bai Yi named Dialong. He bent down and said in Buddhist language: "Master, this Han merchant named Hu Youming is weak."
This Dialon is now a guerrilla general of the Folangji Free Battalion hired by Zhu Changxun, the king of Ningxi. He leads the army, pays and armaments here, and naturally works for Zhu Changxun.
But now, after hearing what Yu Guozhu said, he said: "Very good, you take him to get the money, and I will report to His Highness King Ningxi."
…
Zhu Youxiao has received many reports from Jin Yiwei on the illegal activities of many feudal kings.
But before that, he mainly focused on unifying the world.
In particular, the empire's recent efforts to destroy European countries have used a large amount of manpower, material and financial resources.
Therefore, he had no time to take care of those vassal states who had misunderstood the scriptures and took the wrong path. At most, he could only issue an edict to warn these vassal states.
But because of this, these vassal states mistook Zhu Youxiao's behavior as connivance to them, and became more unscrupulous, or in other words, ignored Zhu Youxiao's edict.
"As a member of the clan, I don't seek the welfare of the Han family, and I don't think about who gave them such a noble status!"
Zhu Youxiao lost his temper after learning about this that day.
"Your Majesty, calm down. This is the evil of human nature. It is not unique to the nobles of the clan. From my perspective, I can only continue to beat him severely to make him fearful."
Lu Xiangsheng replied at this time.
Zhu Ciwei also followed up and said: "Although the imperial court has been educating the Han people all over the world to love the Han family, especially the clan nobles, and has built so many national hero memorial halls and martyrs' temples, there are always some people who just want to live the best life for themselves. Extremely self-interested person;
Nowadays, even because the focus of the imperial court is on the expansion of territory, more and more people are gradually wavering in their ambitions because they see that some extremely self-interested clan nobles can act lawlessly, and they are more or less challenging the central court. The bottom line is even seeking complete independence!
Father, in my opinion, the court must allocate part of its energy to curb this matter and deal with the few culprits!
Otherwise, if this continues, it will still affect the overall situation of global unification, because once this phenomenon of disregarding the interests of the Han family and only seeking their own comfort spreads, these people will not care whether their writing is Chinese characters or whether their culture is Chinese Cultural, even if it means making peace with the black slaves Bai Yi, he is willing! "
Zhu Youxiao looked at Wen Tiren and Lu Xiangsheng: "Can the imperial court now allocate enough national funds and troops to rectify the various vassals of our Ming Dynasty?"
Wen Tiren stood up first and replied: "Your Majesty, the national funds have always been abundant. No, England just compensated us 10 million not long ago.
Now the empire is still short of people. Although the number of newborn babies has increased dramatically in recent years, it will still take some time for them to grow up, so we still have to see if the Privy Council can spare enough troops. "
After Wen Tiren said this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng replied: "Now the main force of the army that can be deployed by our army is mainly in Western Europe, preparing to annex Southern Europe and fight against the Ottoman Empire. The navy is mainly concentrated in the Americas in order to protect our colonies there. There are also Some of them were responsible for transporting supplies in the Baltic Sea and the Netherlands in Europe. The subsequent annexation of southern Europe did not require too many troops. After all, the Fifth Prince performed well against the European Grand Allied Forces and wiped out hundreds of thousands of European Grand Allied Forces once and for all. We have a fresh army, so we can allocate some of the main army and navy forces to rectify the various vassals, but it is estimated that not many troops can be mobilized."
"It doesn't take too much, as long as they are strong enough elites! In addition, in my opinion, should some strong vassals send some troops to assist the court in rectifying the dishonest vassals in the world? This can also make each country If the vassal states are less harmonious, it will be beneficial to the imperial court's control, and it can also make up for the imperial court's lack of military strength in rectifying the vassal states?"
Zhu Ciwei replied.
"As long as some benefits are given, some vassals may not refuse. However, in this case, the person responsible for rectification should be selected from the royal family. Otherwise, the vassals may be dissatisfied and other troubles may arise."
Zhang Tongchang couldn't help but say something at this time.
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Since you, the boss, proposed this matter, you, the boss, will be responsible for this matter. The power of this matter is assigned to the clan government, and the Privy Council is ordered to select brave and good warriors from all over the world to serve as the imperial army. The Zongren Mansion is temporarily in charge of the Imperial Army. I also hold the Imperial Order. The eldest son of the Emperor, Zhu Ciwei, is appointed as Zuo Zongzheng. He is responsible for commanding the Imperial Army. He also orders all the vassal states in the world to select brave men to join the Imperial Army and organize them into the Imperial Army. He has various battalions under his jurisdiction and is responsible for maintaining the order of the vassal government in the world!"
"According to the order!"
Next, Zhu Ciwei began to mobilize troops from all over the country with the help of Lu Xiangsheng. With the help of Jin Yiwei, based on his understanding of each vassal state, he ordered each vassal state to send troops to assist the court in expanding the size of the imperial army, and then maintain The vassal order in the world.
"What does the court mean? Doesn't it mean that the government of our vassal state is handled by the king of the vassal state himself? Why does it have to manage the vassal state and ask us to send troops? What's the point? The court wants to reduce the power of the vassal town? Since it wants to reduce it, Why did the power of the vassal town need to be divided among us in the first place?"
After receiving the imperial edict from Zhu Youxiao, King Zhu Youtong of Siam, who was enfeoffed in Siam, complained to King Zhu Youlang of Gui who made a special trip to see him because he was going to West Irian to become a vassal.
Zhu Youlang smiled and said: "This is not about reducing the power of the feudal towns. It is obvious that the imperial court wants to control some dishonest feudal towns."
"That is also an indirect reduction of power! Let me tell you, it would be great to let each vassal state be independent! After all, they are thousands of miles away. Isn't it troublesome for the court to take care of it by itself?"
Zhu Youyi said.
"We still need to take care of things, especially our clan. Being able to be the head of a country overseas is all given by His Majesty, not earned by yourself! If you receive favors from others, you have to be given management. What's more, enjoy The power of the lord of the Ming Dynasty depends on fulfilling the obligations of the lord of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Youlang continued to persuade.
"Fart! The imperial court doesn't think it's troublesome to do this. Moreover, it has to support a large number of official schools, which will increase the expenditure of a lot of national funds. When the national income decreases in the future, let's see how he responds!"
Zhu Youyi said a curse word directly, and then continued to complain.
"What your Highness is saying is that the Han and Yi people in Siam now all hope that Your Highness will act arbitrarily. They hope that Siam can be independent and independent from the constraints of the Ming Dynasty, and then eliminate the discrimination within the whole ethnic group and integrate into a new ethnic group. From now on, I will only be loyal to the royal family of Siam!"
Shi Xiong Cilu, Zhu Youyi's palace chief, followed suit at this time.
Sudden.
A teacup was thrown at Xiong Cilu.
Xiong Cilu was so hot that he jumped up on the spot.
At this time, Zhu Youlang pointed at Xiong Cilu and said angrily: "Good guy, it seems that the King of Siam has such an idea, which was instigated by people like you! You bitch, don't even think about it, Under the eyes of the giant dragon, you can do whatever you want?"
Although Zhu Youlang said he was scolding Xiong Cilu, he was actually speaking to Zhu Youyi.
Zhu Youyi didn't understand, but was a little angry: "King Gui, what are you doing? Mr. Xiong is the king's chief historian, equivalent to the prime minister of my country in Siam. Why are you so domineering?!"
Zhu Youlang stood up, dusted off her robe and skirt, and said calmly: "What's the matter? It's just your dog. Even if I beat it to death, I will just keep one with you."
"His Royal Highness King Gui's words are really disgusting. Both I and His Highness King Gui are Han Chinese, they are not dogs!"
Xiong Cilu reluctantly replied.
