Chang Ning, Burni, and Mingzhu died with many worries... None of the three got what they wanted from Zhu Heji, but they had to obey the orders of the Lord of Heaven.
So Chang Ning can only continue to play Kangxi and go against Tongzhi and himself (referring to the real Kangxi as Chang Ning)... This is really the most tangled thing in the world!
It seems that Burney can no longer be a big sweat, so he can only make a small sweat first, and then make progress.
As for Mingzhu, he will never return to his mansion in Beijing and can only follow the fake Kangxi to attack Shenyang.
The summoning activities in the South Study Room continued.
Three worried Manchus and Mongolians left, and three worried foreign devils came - the Italian priest Min Minga, the chief executive of the Dutch East India Company, and the envoy of the Governor-General of the Philippines in New Spain, Juan. Garcia.
The three foreign devils followed Figo's instructions and bowed to Zhu Heji and King Zhu Tian. Then the Italian priest Min Mingga, as the representative of the three, took out a letter written in Chinese and Latin. The "Joint Request Letter" was given to Figo, who worked in Zhu Heji's bodyguard office.
"Great Emperor, this is a letter of request submitted to you by the Catholic Church, the East India Company, and the envoys of New Spain." Min Ming said in fluent Chinese, "The Catholic Church hopes to continue to spread within the territory of the former Qing Dynasty. The gospel of the Lord. The East India Company hopes that you will allow them to continue to engage in free trade in the commercial port of Dagukou. The Governor-General of the Philippines in New Spain hopes..."
"I don't want to listen to any requests made by the envoys of the Governor-General of the Philippines in New Spain..." Zhu Heji said, "Because between Wanli and Yongli, the Spaniards caused three massacres on Luzon Island. , killed at least 100,000 people of the Ming Dynasty, and has been occupying the Luzon Island of our Ming Dynasty to this day. This is an unforgivable mistake, I will definitely take retaliatory measures, the Spaniards can get out!"
Zhu Heji's words were translated into Spanish by Figo. Juan Garcia was shocked when he heard that. When he saw several armed guards coming to drive him away, he quickly shouted in Chinese: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you are going to tell me Has the Kingdom of Spain declared war? There are still 100,000 Chinese living in Luzon..."
With a "boom", Zhu Heji overturned the table in front of him, stood up, glared at the Spaniard in front of him, and said word by word: "Are you threatening me? I originally only wanted to Wanted to seize the corresponding land from Spain, while providing military sugar and pull letters to Spain's enemies, and imposing a sugar embargo on Spain in retaliation."
Juan Garcia was so frightened by Zhu Heji's retaliation that military white sugar was already a "big killer"!
Zhu Heji actually took out the pull letter! This thing is more powerful than sugar!
Because of the zip code, the grenadier will turn into a human cannon!
Yellow phosphorus, an important raw material used to make pull letters, is very difficult to obtain (it can be extracted from urine, but Europeans don’t know it yet), and I don’t know where the Chinese got it from?
Fortunately, the Chinese have not publicly sold pull letters in the past and have always regarded them as "not for sale." Westerners can only obtain small amounts from the Qing Dynasty (there are always ways to seize some on the battlefield) for research. I didn’t expect that Ming Dynasty would sell this thing to the enemies of Spain now...
Before Zhu Heji finished speaking, he paused for a while and said angrily: "If you dare to massacre the overseas Chinese in Luzon, then I promise... I will repay you three times! You kill For one Chinese, I will kill three Spaniards!
Don't think that the Pacific Ocean is very wide. That distance cannot stop my expeditionary force! Juan Garcia, you can leave now. My ultimatum will be delivered to you when you leave Dagukou. "
Then Zhu Heji waved his hand, and Juan Garcia was pulled out by several guards.
Then the Emperor of Heaven glanced at Regerson, the representative of the Dutch East India Company, and said coldly: "Go back and tell your consul William III to immediately terminate the alliance with the Kingdom of Spain... Otherwise, the enemies of the Netherlands will It will automatically become an enemy of Spain according to the covenant, and Spain’s enemies will get a large amount of military sugar and pull letters! If Louis XIV had obtained these two weapons in the last Franco-Dutch War, the Netherlands would have ceased to exist long ago!”
Lei Jason was so frightened by Zhu Heji's warning that he broke into a cold sweat!
The Dutch East India Company has been helping the Qing Dynasty deal with the Ming Dynasty in recent years. In order to protect its interests in Southeast Asia, it also organized a Sixteen-Nation Alliance with Spain. Now Spain is about to be trapped by the Ming Dynasty... ....Can the Netherlands end well?
"Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor, I will definitely convey your warning to Consul William." Lei Jason originally wanted to say something about the current situation and rules of Nanyang, but how can he dare to provoke this emperor now?
Zhu Heji then looked at me again, and he said coldly: "The ban cannot be accommodated. Except for Macao, wherever the sun and moon flags go, there is no place for the cross flag to be erected...unless the Roman Catholic Church Zong can persuade Western countries to lift the ban on Confucianism first."
It is impossible to cancel the ban on Confucianism - how could things like "original monarch" and "original minister" not be banned in Western monarchies? The Ming Dynasty could use the concept of "original monarch" and "original minister" as a show of learning. This was because Zhu Heji himself had great prestige, and at the same time he knew that the monarchy was like a rabbit's tail.
Therefore, by raising this issue and clarifying it early, taking off the sacred cloak of the monarchy, and at the same time introducing the "Great Ming Covenant Law" to sanctify it, it is equivalent to establishing a constitution. Moreover, Zhu Heji also used the theory of "original ministers" to strengthen the responsibilities of ministers, so that when the future Ming Emperor cannot bear the responsibility, he will gradually pass the responsibility to the ministers below, and in the end he may even become a virtual emperor. ...
In addition, China has been centralizing power for more than a thousand years! Any founding monarch who conquered the world was generally able to establish centralized power, and Zhu Heji was no exception.
His court already controlled a large amount of population and land through the land equalization system, and it also received the support of central banks such as Dongchang Guanyinhao. There was no need to further centralize power.
Therefore, this set of things is certainly a good thing for Zhu Heji, who has great authority, centralized power in the court, and can clearly see the future prospects of the monarchy.
But for those monarchs in many European countries who have been troubled by aristocrats or decentralization for countless years and have just begun to centralize power, the original Confucian idea is simply poisonous!
Nobles can use it as a tool to oppose the centralization of monarchy, and civilians can also use it as a theory to oppose aristocrats (many nobles are actually small monarchs) - if the Ming Dynasty that implemented "original Confucianism" was a poor and backward country, it would Forget it, but it happens to be a country "on top of the mountain".
The success of Ming Dynasty can prove the success of original Confucianism!
If anyone wants to be as successful as Ming Dynasty, shouldn’t he learn Proto-Confucianism? Also try to practice "the world is for the master and the guest"? Also turn aristocratic ministers into "mentors and friends" of the monarch?
What the Catholic Church cannot tolerate is that there is no place for "god" in original Confucianism... Even if you have a "original god", the church may consider allowing it to spread in Europe.
"Your Majesty," Min Mingga had no choice but to say to Zhu Heji, "it is the secular monarchs of various countries who issue bans, and the church cannot intervene."
Zhu Heji certainly knew how harmful the original Confucianism he proposed was to a feudal country that urgently needed to strengthen the centralization of monarchy. When it comes to the centralization of monarchy, bigger is not always better, but none or too little is not enough.
He spread his hands and said with a smile: "That's it... Priest, it seems we can't reach an agreement. I hope you can get up and go to Macau as soon as possible. You can stay there as long as you want."
