"Haha, this is not simple. Grandmasters of the Ming Royal Academy are true scholars. Of course, they must stay away from officialdom and the noise!" Mr. Liu finally reminded them.
When the tea guests in the teahouse heard this, they were suddenly enlightened.
"I see, it's really quiet outside the city!"
"That boy of mine wanted to take the scientific examination, but I sent him to the countryside because I was afraid he wouldn't accept it!"
"..."
During the discussion, an older tea guest suddenly said: "But this is located outside the city. If there is a military disaster or something..."
Obviously, he experienced the early years of building captives and fleeing thieves, and he seemed to be deeply impressed, so he put forward his meaning. However, as soon as he said these words, he was drowned in the saliva of a group of people.
"Military disaster, what other military disaster is there now?"
"That's right, in this world, only I, the Ming Dynasty, dominate, so it would be great if I don't hit others!"
"No, today, who can defeat them? To counter the military calamity, do you believe that the emperor destroyed them so much that they don't even know their ancestors?"
"Now the surrounding area is all our Ming Dynasty. Do you know where the border of our Ming Dynasty is? The Arctic Ocean, Mingwei Fort..."
"..."
Originally, this elderly tea guest wanted to say that when the Ming Dynasty flourished and declined, there might be military disasters, but he didn't have time to speak, so he could only wipe away the saliva sprayed by others, and finally had no choice but to shut up. Mouth.
Nowadays, if Ming Dynasty wants to say something like this, it’s really embarrassing!
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen had already considered his worries. With the progress of the times, if a military disaster really occurred, tall city walls would no longer be able to prevent the army from attacking.
Furthermore, with the current situation of Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty has begun to crush other countries in terms of science and technology. At least in the foreseeable future, only Ming Dynasty can dominate its enemies.
Even if the Ming Dynasty had an economic crisis or something like that in the future, it would be easy to divert domestic conflicts and fight against European and other countries. The so-called dynasty reincarnates in three hundred years. After opening up so many territories, how can we buffer it?
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen could not guarantee that the Ming Dynasty would last forever and there would be no war.
But wasn’t the Ming Dynasty a two-capital system? He plans to build this Ming Imperial Academy in Nanjing after the one in the capital is on the right track. Then the library inside, the researched knowledge, published papers and materials, etc., are all in duplicate, and one copy is also kept in Nanjing.
If something happens in the future, it can't happen to both parties at the same time, right? A two-pronged preservation method can always preserve the essence of Ming culture as much as possible!
Now the treatment of the Imperial Academy of Ming Dynasty is improved, the quality is improved, and he is called the yamen admired by the world, and it is widely advertised. For example, letting people like Mr. Liu who belong to Dongchang to promote it is to make the real scholars , Raising it to the level that everyone aspires to, thus providing a steady stream of talents for the Ming Royal Academy.
In Emperor Chongzhen's vision, any government office was not as important as the Ming Royal Academy. The output here will lead Ming Dynasty all the way to the sea of stars.
Therefore, he will gradually set goals for each category in the Ming Royal Academy for them to study. The path for the future has already been preset for them. As for things beyond his knowledge, they are only alien civilizations, and he can't control this.
………………
While Emperor Chongzhen was busy with this, the butterfly effect caused by his time traveling also began to change the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East.
At this point, the real head of the Ottoman Empire was not the young Mohammed IV, but Sultan Kosem, their queen mother. This was the last and most famous of the Sudanese feminist era.
These empress dowagers are a little different from Wu Zetian. They like to dominate the harem but are not very interested in politics. Therefore, no one has the idea of being a female emperor, she just holds the power in her hands.
The empress dowager came to power, the emperor was deposed, and his young grandson succeeded. Against this background, the Ottoman Empire became politically corrupt, corrupt officials were rampant, and there were even rebellions.
Therefore, even if the strength of the Persian Empire was greatly reduced, the Ottoman Empire did not gain much benefit. This made Aurangzeb, who fled to the Ottoman Empire, very angry and disappointed with the Ottoman Empire.
In the end, he went to the rebels in the Ottoman Empire and assisted the rebels in their rebellion. He thought of using the power of the rebels to kill the puppets and make a comeback when the time was right.
Not to mention, with his assistance, the strength of the rebels suddenly increased significantly, which finally made the Ottoman Empire wake up a year early.
For this reason, the Empress Dowager promoted Koprulu Muhammad Pasha as the Prime Minister of the Empire in order to change the current situation of the Ottoman Empire and revitalize the authority of the Central Empire.
This Koprulu Muhammad Pasha was a man of real ability. In the original history, he quelled the rebellion, suppressed the hostile elements, reorganized the army, and defeated the Venetian fleet. He really restored the power of the central government of the Ottoman Empire and established the Become the founder of a distinguished family.
In the following hundreds of years, the actual rulers of the Ottoman Empire, that is, its prime ministers, all came from his family. Either his son, or a continuation of his son-in-law or something like that.
This Koprulu was born in a rural area in Albania. He was a person who climbed up from the bottom, a bit like Hong Chengchou of the Ming Dynasty. He was promoted step by step. He was a guy with rich experience and strong ability.
As soon as he took office, he immediately placed his cronies in important positions so that his orders could be carried out. Strongly rectify the government and the army, and say the same thing. Suddenly, the central government of the Ottoman Empire really had to take on a completely new look.
The Pasha of Aleppo, Abazar Hassan, was the leader of the rebels. He came to power because he was the leader of a fierce mercenary force. With the help of Aurangzeb, he originally had a good momentum, but the enemy However, the wily Koprulu was quickly suppressed by him.
Poor Aurangzeb was destroyed before he even thought about killing the puppet. Naturally, he himself was also destroyed by Koprulu.
By this time, the Ottoman Empire had regained the strength of its old empire and began to threaten its surrounding areas. If according to the original history, Coprulu would then organize an expedition to Venice and win the war.
But in this plane, before he could make a decision, an envoy from the Crimean Khanate, a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire, came to ask for a meeting.
"What, the Bukhara Khanate was destroyed by the Ming army?" Koprulu was shocked when he heard this.
Previously, he was actually shocked when he heard that the Mughal Empire was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. However, after all, there is a Persian Empire across the way. There is no need for the emperor to be anxious and the eunuchs to be anxious. Let the Persian Empire take the headache first. He was busy himself, so he didn't pay attention.
Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty was so powerful and aggressive that it destroyed another country. In addition, they captured the Samara Fort and forced Tsar Alexei to sign a treaty ceding territory and paying compensation. At this time, he was truly aware of the threat from the Ming Kingdom.
"Yes, sir!" The envoy of the Crimean Khanate reported anxiously, "Now the Ming army has been showing up at night and has appeared in the territory of my country. I don't know when they will launch an attack. Please help me, sir." The country is in charge, help the country drive away this hungry wolf!"
Koprulu frowned after hearing this. Because in his original plan, he had no plans to develop his power eastward. He was preparing to go west and fight with those Christian countries.
However, Ming Guo was aggressive in the east and he felt threatened, so he had to reconsider his plan.
Of course, it's not that easy for someone like him to change his mind at once.
The existence of a vassal state is to pay tribute to the suzerain state and become a barrier to the suzerain state. Before the Ming Dynasty conquered the vassal state, the suzerain country had to stand up for the vassal state. The vassal king was not his biological son, so he would not do that.
What if the Ming Dynasty had no intention of attacking the Crimean Khanate and went to question it? Today's Ottoman Empire is not the empire it was at its most powerful, capable of defying all enemies. If you really do that, if you invite the Ming army, which originally did not attack the Crimean Khanate, you will be asking for trouble!
But if he ignored it, if the Ming army launched a surprise attack, most of the Crimean Khanate would be wiped out before he could react. Before he sends troops, he destroys the Crimean Khanate. In that case, the war may burn to the Ottoman Empire itself. This is what Koprulu does not want to see.
Just when he was hesitating and had not made a final decision, suddenly another report came from below, saying that the Persian Empire and the envoy of Abbas II had arrived.
This is an old rival of the Ottoman Empire, and it can be said that it came from a feud. So what did Abbas II send people to do?
With doubts in my heart, I finally formally received the envoy, that is, the empress dowager and the emperor were present, and received the envoy from the Persian Empire.
What they didn't expect was that although the Ottoman Empire was now overwhelming the Persian Empire, the ambassadors of the Persian Empire were so humble and low-profile as never before.
The sage empress dowager, the wise emperor, the sage prime minister, in any case, they all flattered her, and the gifts they gave were very heavy. Abbas II also expressed his willingness to surrender to the Ottoman Empire and make peace forever.
This situation made the Ottoman Empire's empress dowager very happy. What generations of Ottoman emperors had failed to do, she did when she came to power. Even though she was not interested in outside politics, she was still very proud.
However, Koprulu felt that something was wrong. There must be a monster when something goes wrong. So, he directly asked why he came.
