Something weird!
After hearing Zheng Guoxian's words, Zhuge Weidao immediately realized that something was wrong.
Talking about a republic or a federal state is all nonsense. The Ming Dynasty is an empire, and of course the vassals below must be monarchies. How can we have a republic or a federal system? Aren't you asking for trouble? Therefore, those countries that will get rid of Western colonization with the help of Ming Dynasty in the future will definitely be kingdoms. So this question is a primer. What Zheng Guoxian really wants to ask is the second question - what are the surnames of the kings of these countries?
And Zheng Guoxian should be asking this question on behalf of his sister Zheng Yuhuan... There are only two answers to this question, one is Zhu! The second is not to replace the original ruling family.
In fact, when Zhuge Weidao "just came", he once thought that he could build a country for each of the eight aristocratic families, including the Zhuge family. But after getting familiar with the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty... I still feel that it can be "managed", but the eight aristocratic families can only benefit from below, and cannot climb up to sit on the throne.
Because once a member of the eight great families climbs to the throne, those eight great families will become the eight great dynasties... After all, their sense of belonging to the country will be stronger. When the time comes, the Ming Dynasty jointly controlled by the eight great families will become the Ming Dynasty controlled by eight foreign dynasties, and it will be chaos.
By the way, although the Zheng family of Siam and the Zheng family of Annan are all related to the Zheng family, they are considered branches of the Zheng family. But in fact, these two families were not separated from Zheng Chenggong's family, but came to them by themselves.
Zheng Xin, the founder of Siam Zheng, is from Chaozhou, and his family is considered a distant sect that cannot be compared with Zheng Chenggong's family. And Annan Zheng and Zheng Chenggong's families have nothing to do with each other... except that they both have the surname Zheng.
Moreover, the kingships of Siam Zheng and Annan Zheng were achieved by their own ability. They did not receive help from the Ming Dynasty. They only received the honor of righteousness from the Ming Dynasty in the later period when they wanted to stabilize the country and seek to usurp the throne. and some military aid.
Although they have joined the clan, the Zheng family of Siam, the Zheng family of Annan, and the Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty are three families after all, not one family... The people of the Zheng family of the Ming Dynasty will not regard themselves as the Siam royal family or the Annan royal family. Even if they became officials or made a fortune in Siam or Annam, they were not the royal families of those two countries.
Similarly, people from Siam Zheng and Annan Zheng cannot enter the "Chengwang Genealogy" of the Zheng family, let alone join an official party.
And if Zhuge Weidao's son "Dadezi" gets the chance to inherit the Rakshasa throne, he will also be removed from the Zhuge family's "King Wu genealogy" and change his surname to Romanov - this is also the rule of the Rakshasa royal family. The Romanovs came from the daughters of Peter the Great.
"Can't we not get rid of the original royal family?" Zhuge Weidao thought for a while and then asked, "Can't we maintain the Kamehameha dynasty of the Kingdom of Hawaii?"
Although the Zheng brothers and sisters had not mentioned Hawaii before, the next thing the Ming Empire wanted to do was Hawaii!
Zheng Yuhuan smiled and said: "My dear fellow, do you want the Chinese people who immigrated to Hawaii to recognize the king of Yi and Di? The Kamehameha dynasty is not a descendant of the Chinese or a descendant of Yan and Huang at all! Do you want the descendants of the eight great families to go to Hawaii?" Are they ministers?"
This doesn’t seem to work either…politically incorrect!
These days, the whole world is not promoting equal rights. It is all about "prioritizing certain people". Western Europe basically gives priority to white-skinned people. In Tianfang Sect circles, of course, Tianfang Sect gives priority. In India, Asan gives priority to English and Rakshasa. France is of course given priority, while the New World countries represented by the United States give priority to local white-skinned people... and in the Eastern Celestial Circle, China is given priority!
Of course, this "descendants of China, descendants of Yan and Huang Miao" can be expanded. For example, the royal families of the Ming Dynasty vassals such as Korea, Annan, Siam, Nanzhang, Chenla, Burma, and Ryukyu have all been recognized as descendants of China. Even Emperor Jingko of Japan dug out a bamboo slip from under the tatami when renovating the palace, proving that she was a descendant of Xu Fu. It also contained an edict from Qin Shi Huang conferring the title of king of Japan on her ancestor!
But after all, Korea is the country of Jizi, Japan is also an ancient country with a long history in East Asia, Annan was separated from China, the Zheng family of Siam is really from Chaozhou, the Shang family of Ryukyu is also related to the Ming Dynasty, and Nanzhang is at least The descendants of Nanzhao and the Ava dynasty in Myanmar can find a group of chieftain ancestors from the Chinese dynasty. Chenla is a little bit worse, but after looking through Chinese history books, they found a Chenla dynasty with the surname Fan, so they decisively recognized it. Ancestor... I also found an ancestor for my newly recognized ancestor, Fan Zeng, the sub-father of the King of Chu.
But no matter how hard we recognize our ancestors, we cannot identify the Kamehameha dynasty as descendants of Chinese Miao!
"Then the surname can only be Zhu!" Zhuge Weidao said after thinking, "If the king of Hawaii is named Zhu, the people of the Kamehameha dynasty will have no choice but to pack up and get out, and the good seats freed up can be given to people from the eight great families. Go sit..."
"Yes, yes, yes... there are so many seats!" Zheng Guoxian laughed, "The Kingdom of Hawaii is located at the strategic point of the Pacific route. Although it is only an island country, it has a suitable climate and rich products. In addition to the indigenous people, there are also There are many white, Ming, Japanese, and Korean expatriates who have set up farms or engaged in fishing and commerce there. The total population of the country, including foreign expatriates, totals 500,000 to 600,000. How can a country with a population of 500,000 to 600,000 have such a large number of people? Ten thousand people are pretty good, right? Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. No matter how small the country is, it still has to have the yamen that it should have, the navy and the army that should be established, and the public industries that should be run.
In addition, there are many white and indigenous farms on the Hawaiian Islands...which are also good assets. Adding all these benefits together can always provide tens of thousands of good seats. From now on, the king of Hawaii belongs to the Zhu family, and the prime minister belongs to the Zhuge family. The good positions below will be divided among the eight aristocratic families, Koreans, and Japanese. Of course, most of them will belong to us. Daozi, what do you think? "
Zhuge Weidao clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What else can we do? Of course... Our eight aristocratic families have been multiplying for more than a hundred years and have countless descendants. What we lack most is a good position to raise people. ”
Zheng Yuhuan smiled and nodded: "Even though we can't occupy all the good seats... we have to guard the red line left by our ancestors! Besides, among so many people, the idle ones occupy There are a lot of people out there, but not many are really capable. Now, Dao disciple, you are the military advisor of the Zhuge family, Shenshan has also become a twenty official of the Zheng family, and the Ai family is the queen mother of the Zhu Ming Dynasty. You have to take care of your family members! In addition, there are a large group of meritorious families below the eight major aristocratic families, which also need to be arranged. There are not enough good seats in the Ming Dynasty, so we have to go out to look for food."
Zhuge nodded repeatedly for Dao and said in his heart: "These siblings are still very smart... What the eight aristocratic families and the noble families below are most lacking is good seats. To get the next lower seat, ten thousand seats Good seats may not be available, but seven or eight thousand shouldn't be a big problem. Get a few more... and good seats will come, right?
No, when did the two of them think about everyone so much? Where are their interests? "
Thinking of this, Zhuge Weidao smiled and said to Zheng Yuhuan: "Yuhuan, you, me, and Shenshan, we are one, a real family! If you have anything, just say it. This Hawaiian Zhu The prince..."
Zheng Yuhuan smiled and said: "The Ai family wants the Tang Wang family to go to Hawaii!"
"Prince of Tang?" Zhuge Weidao understood a little, "If Prince of Tang goes abroad to become king, he and his descendants will not be able to inherit the throne of Ming Dynasty in the future, right?"
"That's natural!" Zheng Yuhuan said, "But since the Tang Dynasty has a large family, there will still be an heir."
The Prince of Tang had a large family, but not many could give birth to an heir for the Taiping Emperor... There were not many such people in the families of the three princes. If all of them were sent out to become foreign kings, what would happen in the future? The great emperor of tomorrow will probably have to choose from the sons of Emperor Taiping.
Zheng Yuhuan could even eliminate the direct heirs of the three princes' families, and then let his grandson's family succeed...
