Zhu Cizhuo couldn't help but feel funny after hearing this, so he said: "That must be because you didn't study seriously!"
After hearing this, Holler had to argue hard: "We are really serious about studying! There is no political power that does not want to train more people to learn Chinese now, which will help us live better on the earth dominated by your country!"
"But I have to admit that your Chinese language is really difficult to learn!"
"We have taken in many Han gentry who came to us. Even though they are trying very hard to teach us, there are still not many of us who know the Three Character Classic."
Then, Holler added: "We don't want to fight stubbornly, really! Even the powerful England has chosen to move to America to avoid your country. We in Scotland naturally know that we cannot defeat your country. We can We accept easy hair and clothes, and are even willing to accept orders to take a bath, but we really can’t learn Chinese! It may be that our tribe has an inherent intellectual disadvantage, so that we don’t know this advanced language.”
After hearing this, Zhu Cizhuo said: "However, the surrenderers accept Chinese culture, learn Chinese, and speak Chinese. This is the first request of the surrenderers of the imperial court and cannot be refused!"
"this……"
Holler was in a dilemma.
"Actually, Chinese is not that difficult. The most important thing about language is the environment. In the future, you Scottish nobles can go to the Institute of Foreign Education in China to learn Chinese. Then you will learn Chinese in an environment where Chinese is spoken. It won’t be a problem.”
Zhu Cizhuo continued.
"In this case, I will convey your words to the parliament and wait for the results of the parliament's deliberations before replying to your country."
Holler replied.
After Holler returned, he raised Zhu Cizhuo's original words in the Scottish Parliament.
"Can we not learn Chinese? Oh my God, why are you making things so difficult for us?!"
"I refuse to learn Chinese. I would rather die than learn such a complicated language!"
"In this case, we can only refuse to surrender and fight to the end! After all, dying in battle is better than learning Chinese!"
Many Scottish MPs were greatly disappointed and said they would rather fight to the end than talk about surrender.
Because many Scottish nobles really tried to learn Chinese to understand the Ming Dynasty better, but they really had to admit that the Chinese of the Ming Dynasty was really difficult to learn.
But most Scottish nobles were more afraid of death.
Therefore, the Scottish Parliament finally passed the surrender bill with a slight advantage, and officially expressed its unconditional surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty successfully unified Scotland peacefully.
Next, Ireland was also successfully unified by the Ming Dynasty.
The whole of Europe therefore completely became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
As of now, in the entire world, only the Americas, Africa, and Antarctica are not part of the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, the most challenging to the Ming Dynasty's great cause of unification is currently the four American countries, that is, the four countries of Japan, Korea, England, and France that have successively moved to the Americas.
Because the others all belong to very primitive countries or tribes.
At this time, England's territory in America was mainly the eastern part of today's United States.
The French territory in America was mainly the southern area of today's Maple Leaf Country.
Most of the western Americas were occupied by the Japanese.
Most of the area south of the Amazon River in South America was occupied by Goryeo.
The rest are Ming Dynasty's overseas colonies.
These four countries are very strong in science and technology. Based on the technology line of the previous world where Zhu Youxiao lived, they were only more than a hundred years behind the Ming Dynasty.
We have all entered the steam age.
The technological strength of Japan and Goryeo increased because the Ming Dynasty shared some scientific knowledge with them when they won over these Confucian countries in order to conquer the Western world.
France, on the other hand, attached great importance to the development of science and technology during the reign of Louis XIV. Later, it took the initiative to trade with the Ming Dynasty and mastered some technologies independently through imitation.
Yingjili was also forced by Ming Dynasty to speed up the development of science and technology.
The difference between these four countries and the Ming Dynasty is that they are all countries controlled by chaebols, and private capital is stronger than state capital.
Because it was not their kings who first came to America, but their nobles, and their technology and culture were also controlled by the nobles.
And even the ordinary immigrants who moved here were domestic slaves of these nobles.
The natives here have no common culture or language with these domestic slaves.
This also resulted in the inability to unite to fight against the nobles.
Conflicts may even occur.
Therefore, the nobles do not have to worry that the common people will unite against them.
King Yi Zhen of Goryeo, on the advice of his ministers, focused on supporting several private enterprises to expand and become the pillars of the national economy through tax exemptions and loan support.
These companies have also become the largest forces in Goryeo, and are therefore called chaebols.
The entire Goryeo Kingdom, including all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, was controlled by these chaebols.
And as a result, these plutocratic nobles are still very arrogant.
Even though the technological level of these four countries has now entered the steam age and started industrialization, the oppression of their civilians is still very serious.
"A civilian girl is so beautiful. I am very happy to get the opportunity to come to your company for an interview."
At this time, a young woman from the Korea School of Economics was interviewing at the Korea Xu Textile Group. But as she was speaking, she discovered that the interviewer turned out to be a libertine who had teased him outside the school!
Because there were many people outside the school at that time, she was not entangled too much by this libertine.
But she didn't expect that this libertine would be her interviewer today.
For a moment, she was in trouble.
Does she think if she leaves now, will she look too proud and be resented from now on, which will affect her future employment?
You know, the Xu family is very powerful in the entire Goryeo and can completely prevent her from finding any job in the future.
But she was also worried that she would be resented by this person because of the previous incident, and would be even more humiliated in the future.
So, Park Soo-soo doesn’t know what to do now.
This prodigal is none other than Xu Chongwei, the son of the Xu Group, and he is in charge of today's interview.
"It turns out to be you."
When Xu Chongwei saw Pu Suxiu, he also laughed, stood up and walked over, patted Pu Suxiu on the head and said, "Why did you come here for an interview?"
"Because I want to be your company's accountant for recruitment! Moreover, your company has always been quite powerful."
Pu Suxiu replied timidly.
"Yeah?"
While Xu Chongwei asked, he brought over the cup of tea he had just drank in front of his seat.
"Yes, I got first class in school."
As Pu Suxiu was answering, she felt her head hurt from being poured by the tea. She stood up immediately, her eyes darkened, and she was forced back to the chair.
"Sit back!"
Pu Suxiu trembled all over and felt her head was numb. For a moment, tears could only be squeezed out from between Xu Chongwei's fingers.
Xu Chongwei continued to laugh coldly, and took out a knife and said: "Such a delicate face, it would be very interesting to scratch it."
A sting!
"Ah! It hurts!"
Pu Suxiu struggled.
However, Xu Chongwei became more and more proud as he scratched, and he just scratched several marks on his simple and beautiful face.
People on the side could only watch silently, not even daring to persuade him.
Keng!
Xu Chongwei dropped the knife on the table.
A staff member took the knife away on his own initiative.
And Xu Chongwei also let go of Pu Suxiu and returned to his position.
Park Soo-su wanted to cry but had to suppress her urge to cry because her face hurt even more when the tears fell.
She couldn't help but want to touch her face: "My face, my face!"
The more Xu Chongwei looked at this, the more interesting it became. He stood up and began to untie the sweat towel around his waist.
"ah!"
Pu Suxiu suddenly screamed and then suddenly ran towards the balcony.
Leap.
The whole person fell from a height of seven stories.
Xu Chongwei stopped to check his pants, his face gradually turned ugly, and he said: "Call another interviewer in, a woman!"
"Who is this? He jumped off the building."
"Hurry and report to the government!"
"This man looks very young. Why can't he think about it?"
"This Xu family must have done something evil again."
"That's right, these aristocratic plutocrats are really more rampant and perverted than the last!"
At this time, many people had gathered downstairs, and they were all talking about it where Su Suxiu landed.
Even some very sober ordinary people have begun to accuse the Xu Group.
But Xu Chongwei ignored all of this. When he saw a woman coming for an interview being led in, he rushed towards her, only focusing on satisfying his desires as soon as possible.
Fortunately, at this time, the observation envoy Min Xuanwen happened to be passing by and saw this scene, so he ordered: "Seal the Xu's building! Go and arrest all the people inside!"
"yes!"
"What are you doing? This is the Xu family."
"Get away!"
After Min Xuanwen issued the order, he saw that the other party's servants were trying to stop him, so he came over in person, led his troops to break in, and walked quickly upstairs. After climbing to the seventh floor in one breath, he heard the woman's cry.
The panting Min Xuanwen took a deep breath, and then ordered: "Bump away!"
It didn't take long for the officers and soldiers under his command to open the door.
Therefore, Min Xuanwen saw Xu Chongwei forcing a woman to do unspeakable things. She also saw that the woman's face was full of tears and she was struggling desperately to shout, "Let me go." So she shouted angrily: "Stop!"
Then, Min Xuanwen said again: "Take this person down!"
Only then did Xu Chongwei realize that the officers and soldiers had arrived.
Only then did he feel a little panicked.
But after he was taken into custody by the officers and soldiers, he came back to his senses, recognized Min Xuanwen, and shouted: "Min, what are you doing? Who let you break in! Don't you have this black gauze hat?" Damn it, the Xu family! Don’t be ungrateful!"
Min Xuanwen had a cold face and did not answer him.
Xu Chongwei was still detained and put in prison by Min Xuanwen.
Min Xuanwen also sentenced Xu Chongwei to death after investigation and evidence collection, and will report it to the King of Goryeo for a verdict.
"Your Majesty, you must be clear! That person named Pu Suxiu jumped off the building by herself and has nothing to do with Chongwei. The woman who was insulted was also Chongwei who she dressed too coquettishly and took the initiative to seduce! This Min Xuanwen did this to promote her own name. He is slandering the son of a minister! He is even the grandson of the leader who recommended me! I think he should be dismissed from his post!"
However, this matter was blocked by many ministers in the court, and it even endangered Min Xuanwen's personal career.
Li Guiwei, the prisoner's judge, severely criticized Min Xuanwen at this time.
Right Counselor Shen Lin also echoed: "Xu Gong clearly misjudged this Min Xuanwen in the past. This person is undoubtedly a person who is seeking fame and reputation. Your Majesty, please remove him from office!"
"That's right! I thought this Min Xuanwen was a capable minister, but unexpectedly, she turned out to be a cruel official! Your Majesty, I also believe that this Min Xuanwen should be dismissed and investigated!"
The master of the house, Jin Miaocheng, also followed suit.
"Your Majesty, please dismiss Min Xuanwen and investigate!"
Other ministers responded one after another.
Because the current Goryeo Kingdom was no longer willing to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, it abandoned the name given to it by the Ming Dynasty, changed its name to Goryeo, and established itself as emperor.
Therefore, these ministers also called Li Yan "Your Majesty."
As the officials of the Goryeo court who were basically members of the aristocracy or vassals of the nobility, they were unwilling to see that the government could lock up their own children at will.
Li Yan knew that he relied on these people to become the king, so he nodded and said: "Then Min Xuanwen will be dismissed from his post and investigated! Release the innocent person."
The innocent person Li Yan mentioned was naturally Xu Chongwei.
"Old Min, I told you that you can't catch me."
When Xu Chongwei was specially released from the prison, he glanced at Min Xuanwen, who was already in prison, and smiled triumphantly.
Min Xuanwen ignored him.
He knew this would be the result.
And he did that just to reassure his conscience.
Therefore, he doesn't care how people like Xu Chongwei mock him.
However, there were conscientious scholar-bureaucrats in the Goryeo court. Although they were afraid of the power of the nobles, they still secretly reported Xu Chongwei's crimes and had not been brought to justice. Even Min Xuanwen sentenced him to death, but it was useless. , and even the fact that Min Xuanwen was dismissed and questioned because of this, spread through various means.
Therefore, it didn't take long for this matter to spread throughout Goryeo.
Many people began to feel aggrieved for Min Xuanwen.
Especially the common people who have become free citizens of Goryeo, and some scholars who are determined to change their situation because they have gained knowledge through reading.
In addition, the Han people who stayed in Korea came to Goryeo to do corresponding work either spontaneously or under the arrangement of the relevant yamen of the Ming Dynasty. Because of this, the Han people gathered together and decided to do something.
"Huangming has completed the unification of Europe, and the next step is undoubtedly the Americas. We have to take advantage of the fact that the nobles of Koryo are unscrupulous and the people are particularly disgusted, and incite the people to cause chaos and increase the internal conflicts in Koryo. It will be beneficial to the unification cause of our emperor and Ming Dynasty in the future!"
Sun Shiyi, who was arranged by Zhou Yuji to come to Korea to do the work of instigating rebellion, suggested this to his fellow members at this time.
"Okay, in my opinion, the slogan can be, cry grievances for Min Guan. This can win the resonance of the bureaucrats and scholars from the common people of Goryeo. It is better than directly calling for grievances for common people like Pu Suxiu. After all, the common people of Goryeo are composed of Complex, and therefore relatively indifferent, it is difficult for them to be angry at the tragic death of a civilian of the same origin as themselves.”
Sun Shiyi’s partner Zhu Tingshi therefore suggested.
"That makes sense! I agree! Let's start organizing now."
Sun Shiyi nodded.
So, next, under the instigation of some Han people placed here by the Ming Dynasty, massive demonstrations broke out in Goryeo.
A large number of scholars and workers took to the streets and began to protest against the upright official Min Xuanwen and to protest against the suppression of upright ministers by the nobles.
"Release Min Guan!"
"Min Kuan is not guilty!"
"Your Majesty, please follow the people's wishes and release Min Guan!"
"Your Majesty, the people's will cannot be violated, and loyal ministers cannot be wronged!"
"Min Xuanwen just disobeyed the nobles and made decisions for the people. She did not feel sorry for Your Majesty! I feel sorry for the entire Goryeo! Your Majesty!"
In fact, many Goryeo bureaucrats did sympathize with Min Xuanwen, who was of the same class as himself.
Even after Sun Shiyi organized many scholars and people to cry out for Min Xuanwen, many officials from the Goryeo Dynasty came to Fugu to see Li Yin and cry out for Min Xuanwen to show that they were not timid and did not dare to speak out.
Of course, they did not want those who entered the official career through the Korean imperial examination to be suppressed by the powerful in the future like Min Xuanwen, so they all responded actively.
"It's contrary! This is all contrary!"
As a representative of the nobility, Li Jiuwei was very angry and said to Li Yen: "Your Majesty! We cannot tolerate these officials being so presumptuous! Otherwise, where would Chao Gang be?!"
Li Zhen only looked at the leader Xu Shanlie: "Ling Yizheng, what do you think?"
At this time, Xu Shanlie cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty! I also plead for Min Zhuan! Although the people who are careless and carefree can ignore his intentions, the wealthy people cannot help but understand his heart, especially the scholars in the world. Min Xuanwen has already gained a reputation as a sage in the world. , the court will naturally treat him kindly, after all, the ministers also need the support of scholars before they can herd the people."
Li Yan also nodded after hearing this: "What Ling Yizheng said is absolutely true, so let's reinstate Officer Min Xuanwen to his post."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Xu Shanlie replied first and then said: "However, Your Majesty, I believe that although Min Xuanwen had to be acquitted because of public opinion, this phenomenon of many soldiers and people being mobilized to cry out for injustice must not be ignored! It cannot be ruled out that there is no instigation, or even the intention to form a party to hold the emperor hostage, so I ask your majesty to investigate thoroughly!"
"That makes sense! I'd be sorry to trouble you to send someone to check it out."
Li Yan replied.
At this point, Xu Shanlie also took the initiative to plead for Min Xuanwen.
Min Xuanwen was eventually released and reinstated.
For many soldiers and people of Goryeo, this was a rare victory.
Because in the past, it was difficult for the proud ministers and nobles to give in.
As a result, many scholars and people cheered and celebrated.
"Yeah, we won!"
"The nobles finally gave in and compromised!"
"Ming Gong was not dismissed from office for this reason."
Many soldiers and people of Goryeo talked about this with each other happily.
Only Sun Shiyi and others from the Ming Dynasty, because they had seen real victory, had been calm and quite indignantly asked loudly to some of their Korean friends: "Have we won? Do you really think this is enough?" , Has the current situation of Goryeo changed?! It’s just nonsense!”
Some Korean scholars fell silent because of this.
"Yes, it's too early to celebrate now. Bastards like Xu Chongwei have not been brought to justice! Korea is still a place without justice! There is still a long way to go. Everyone, don't be complacent about your achievements."
Zhu Tingshi followed.
Many scholars from Goryeo nodded their heads and agreed.
However, after Min Xuanwen was released, many Korean people came to the prison to greet him, as if they were coming to see a great achievement of their hard work, and everyone looked excited.
"Ming Gong!"
Many people shouted enthusiastically.
Min Xuanwen also happily extended her hand to say hello to her colleagues, friends, and the people present.
Min Xuanwen was very excited and even bowed because of this: "Thank you all!"
Everyone bowed in return.
"Mong Gong, please say a few words."
Moreover, at this time, someone came over and handed a large brass trumpet to Min Xuewen.
However, as soon as Min Xuewen took over the loudspeaker and was about to speak, she heard a pop and her eyes splashed with bright red. Then she felt pain in her chest, as if she had been hit by a steel pipe, and her whole body collapsed helplessly like a mountain. Go down.
"Ming Gong!"
Many people shouted in dismay.
Xu Shanlie, who was sitting in the Yiming steam car in the distance, saw this scene and only raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Sun Shiyi also saw this scene and said to Zhu Tingshu: "The nobles of the Goryeo Kingdom are really not willing to suffer even this small loss."
"So what we have done is very meaningful, let more Korean people realize the reaction of these nobles, let them know how irreconcilable the contradiction between the oppressors and the oppressed is, and then let them support the Ming Dynasty's They unified and accepted the rule of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Tingshi replied accordingly.
"Yes, what we have to do has just begun! The shooting of Min Xuanwen is the real opportunity for us to awaken these Korean people to support the unification of the world."
Sun Shiyi echoed.
Therefore, these Ming Dynasty undercover agents who were inside the enemy country continued to guide the scholars and people of Goryeo with the aim of granting human rights to the emperor and rejecting oppression. They took advantage of the public opinion trend set off again by Min Xuanwen's shooting.
However, because they did this, the nobles of the Goryeo Kingdom who were already alert noticed them.
Even Xu Shanyeol and other Goryeo nobles successfully instigated people who had contact with Sun Shiyi and others.
"We dare not lie. There are two people named Sun Shiyi and Zhu Tingzhu who are the most powerful. They have sharp words, strict logic, rich resources, and talents. Regardless of men and women, many people respect them, including some officials. They have been advocating The Ming Dynasty's imperial human rights and legal society also show that the country is a peaceful world without oppression and exploitation. The only way to save ourselves and the people on this land now is to welcome the red flames of the Ming Dynasty to burn here. Come, we need to be the fuel to ignite the red flames symbolizing justice to the Kingdom of Korea! He also called on all the suffering people to unite."
At this time, a Korean scholar named Jin Cihang reported the secret to Xu Shanlie.
After hearing this, Xu Shanlie gritted his teeth and ordered: "Arrest Sun Shiyi and Zhu Tingzhu immediately! After they are caught, I will make their lives worse than death! Who let them destroy the foundation of our country of Korea!"
