Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Zhu Yiyin was taken aback when she heard the words, and then her cheeks blushed, and she stammered, "Father, how can you say that about Sister Zhong Chahai? Do you want...to accept her as a concubine? This, this is against human relations ah!"

"You, you..." Zhu Heqi turned his head and glared at his son, "You bastard, you actually say that about your old man! Are you confused by your reading? And I never thought of Na Zhong Chahai , I was asking what do you think of Zhong Chahai?"

"Me? I, I...I'm her brother!" Zhu Yiyin's cheeks turned redder, and she stammered even more, and she didn't dare to amplify her voice—sister Zhong Chahai was right in front!How bad would it be for her to hear it?Especially Zhu Yiyin has long been greedy for Zhong Chahai's body...

After stuttering for a long time, the second prince Zhu learned the principles of saints and finally defeated the "human desire" deep in his heart.A vigorous young man with a healthy body and a heart full of dirty desires, how could he resist the temptation of a graceful young girl like Zhong Chahai?

Besides, Zhong Chahai, a woman who grew up on the grassland, is enthusiastic and unrestrained, and doesn't care much about the defense of men and women.She has a very close relationship with the nerd king... When she first came, the nerd king was still making up for her.

Boys and girls, face each other day and night!

"Brother what? Her surname is not Zhu, she is always a Chuoros..." Zhu Heqian had already understood what his son was thinking, and said in a low voice, "If you like it, please, you are my second prince, she is just our son A prisoner of a sinner, and the daughter of a sinner, it is her blessing that you take her body, and she is willing to serve you after seeing her."

"Father, speak softly so that people can hear..." Zhu Yiyin looked at the back of Zhong Chahai, who was more than ten steps away, while talking.

Zhu Heqi smiled and lowered his voice: "Second brother, I see that Zhong Chahai's face is also a Wangfu protector, and he is also interested in you. You are also childhood sweethearts... If you accept her, she will definitely be in the future." I will protect you wholeheartedly.

She is the vassal prince of Shache (Yerqiang), and she has some strength.Her older brother is King Shunyi, two of her three half-brothers are kings in the Northwest, and Zhu Celing is Yin Jiahan.

With this strength and connection, and Zhong Chahai, the wife of Wangfu's protector, is there.You can replace me as the leader of Daming after a hundred years! "

"Guide?" Zhu Yiyin was taken aback, "Father, what do you mean..."

At this time, Zhu Heqi suddenly lowered his voice, and said to his son: "Xuewen, do you think Daming can achieve today's prosperity? In the final analysis, what is the reason for it?"

"Of course it's your father, your sagacity and the blessing of your ancestors!"

The nerd king's opening his mouth is just a cliché... It seems that he is a nerd, and he only stays when he needs to.

"Tell the truth!" Zhu Hechi laughed, "You and I are both smart people, don't say such useless things."

Zhu Yiyin said: "Then let me tell you... our family's country was completely dead, and we were able to come back only because of the powerful natural magic of the father!

When our new Ming army was thriving, it all depended on the power of sugar medicine and the fierceness of rockets!Without these two, Jieyang might be..."

This is not the only weapon, but technology is the first combat power... Buying a little second-hand goods from the imperialists, thinking that you can fight well, that is the only weapon theory!

When sugar gunpowder first came out, it was the exclusive weapon of Xin Daming!

Moreover, Zhu Heqi also controlled the entire sugar and gunpowder industry chain, and later monopolized the international sugar supply for many years.Although the secret of sugar gunpowder has been revealed long ago, the monopoly of white sugar has also been broken.

Zhu Yiyin paused, and then said: "Father, if my Ming Dynasty wants to prosper forever, I must not relax my research on natural magic, and must continue to improve."

Zhu Hechi nodded, and asked again: "Then how to improve the natural magic? You have also studied it for two or three years, do you have any experience?"

"I have a little bit of experience," Zhu Yiyin said, "to improve natural magic, one needs to explore the world... Everything contains the magic of heaven and earth, but we know very little about everything in the world. If the original elements of all things are ascertained, There are only twenty or so, probably less than one percent of the total number of elements!

The second is to rely on continuous trial and error verification. The method of yellow dye that Erchen has studied in the past two or three years is to use various materials extracted from coal tar and various known materials day after day, using various methods Mixing... Although it has not been successful, Erchen has extracted something that is not quite the same as aniline from coal tar, although I don't know what it is?But it's worth something, right? "

That stuff you found could be phenol!Zhu Heqi often reads his son's experimental records, so he knows what he probably came up with?

Emperor Zhu really wanted to explain his son's doubts.

This phenol is a good thing, it can be used for surgical disinfection, and it can also be used to make trinitrophenol, which is picric acid!

But he finally held back, because he didn't want to train a real scientist seedling to become an "archaeologist".

And he has nitroglycerin now, so there's no rush to get picric acid.

"It's great to discover new things!" Zhu Heqi said to his son, "I really didn't misunderstand you...so you are the only one who can inherit my mantle in the future!"

"Mantle?" Zhu Yiyin froze for a moment.

It is not his turn to inherit Zhu Heqi's world... He has Zhu Yixin above him, and Zhu Yigang below him, both of them are legitimate sons!

Even if they are gone, Da Boling still has two sons!

The noble concubine Da Boling's status is higher than that of the imperial concubine Bei Jiaxin, and because the imperial concubine Bei has half Portuguese blood, Zhu Yiyin is also of mixed blood.

Therefore, Zhu Yiyin, the second son, is actually far away from the throne.Perhaps it is for this reason that Zhu Yiyin has little interest in power and is obsessed with learning...

But Zhu Heqi couldn't let him be an idle prince who doesn't hear anything outside the window, he needs to be a future leader of Ming Dynasty!A leader who can lead Ming Dynasty into the industrial age!

This leader must have political influence, and he must also have a lot of wealth.Otherwise, he would be a scientific madman at most, and it would be impossible to advance with the entire civilization.

At the same time, this leader should not have too much power and wealth, let alone be involved in the battle for reserve positions, and of course he cannot go overseas to find a home.

And the marriage between Zhu Yiyin and Zhong Chahai will allow him to stay away from the highest power while possessing a certain amount of strength - if he doesn't marry Zhong Chahai, then the Yanping Zheng family will probably put their daughter in.

At that time, the problem will be a little more complicated!

And Zhong Chahai is Galdan's daughter, if he marries her, then he really has nothing to do with the throne.

"Father, the mantle you mentioned is..."

Zhu Yiyin still wanted to inquire, but Zhu Heqi interrupted him and said, "I'll talk about the mantle after you return to Beijing... What you have to do now is to take down Zhong Chahai! Go for it if you like it, don't be so preoccupied, you are Daming." Your prince, she dare not disobey!"

Zhu Yiyin looked at Zhong Chahai's back for a while, and finally nodded.

……

"Girl, you must remember that the rules on the grassland have always been that the strong are respected!"

At the same time, Anu was also encouraging his daughter Zhong Chahai to throw herself in the arms of Prince Zhu.

Although Zhong Chahai is a "big girl", she is not as thick-skinned as her old lady... After all, she is a big girl with yellow flowers, and she has learned a lot of Confucian etiquette from Daming's side.

"Mother, isn't this appropriate?" Zhong Chahai's heart was flustered, his face was already burning hot, and his heart was even more chaotic.

"What's inappropriate?" Anu said, "I don't think there is anything more suitable than the second prince... The first prince is a prince, and he has already been engaged to the Zheng family. The third prince is notoriously playful, and his concubine is sure You have to choose from the daughters of the generals of the Su family. The situation of the fourth and fifth princes is similar, and most of them will also marry with wealthy families in Chaozhou and southern Fujian. If you don’t want to be young, then only the second prince is the only one. He has four points He is of Portuguese descent, and he has no interest in politics. And he has not been granted permission to go overseas, so he just happens to marry you. And the Holy Majesty also means this!

So as long as you let him sleep, it will be done... If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it later. "

"Why can't the media be married?" Zhong Chahai was still a little unhappy.

"Why isn't the medium married?" Anu glared at her daughter, "I'm just serving the second prince for a few days... When the raw rice becomes cooked rice, no one can object to it!"

Although Emperor Zhu had long linked the Shache territory with winning Zhong Chahai, Bei Jiaxin didn't show any interest at all... A few academicians seemed to be against it too!

In addition, the Supreme Emperor, who had returned to Nanjing for retirement, seemed to disapprove of marrying Zhong Chahai.

In short, if this good thing is to succeed, both Zhong Chahai and Zhu Yiyin have to take the initiative... If the thing is done, then no one can object.

Zhong Chahai was still not very happy, and kept shaking his head.At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes behind her, and then Zhu Yiyin's voice was heard: "Sister Zhong... I will review the natural spells and arithmetic for you when I get to the palace later! You did not do well in these two subjects, so I have to teach you well!"

When Zhong Chahai heard this, he wanted to refuse in his heart. She had already graduated from Jinling Women's College, and she even had a job, so why should she still study?But after opening his mouth, he said: "Well, yes, Brother Xuewen, I will follow your orders."

Chapter 884 Devil's Proxy and God's Proxy

Autumn is gradually becoming stronger in Nanjing City, and the sweltering summer weather is gradually becoming slightly cooler.People who seldom go out to escape the heat are now wearing bright and bright autumn clothes and ostentatiously passing through the streets.When the autumn wind comes together, it also means that the "trade wind" of going to Nanyang is also coming, and the industry and commerce in Nanjing are also active.Although orders from Europe have decreased for various reasons in the past few years, orders from Nanyang and India have increased. Under the leadership of the Great Ming Dynasty, Nanyang finally got rid of the exploitation of Western colonists and began to have new orders. order.

The climate in those places is mostly hot and rainy. Although it is not suitable for handicraft production, it is rich in rice and spices, and it is also suitable for planting sugar cane to make white sugar. There are also many high-quality wood needed by Ming's shipbuilding industry and furniture manufacturing industry.In particular, the transportation along the coast or islands of Nanyang is very convenient. You can go out to the sea, and you don’t even need to repair the roads.

Before the establishment of the new order in Ming Dynasty, the vast Nanyang region did not form a unified market, let alone become a unified market with Ming Dynasty, Japan, and even the west coast of America.

Although there are still some Nanyang countries caught in civil strife, this does not affect the export of spices and wood from these countries-the more civil strife is, the more weapons of Ming Dynasty are needed, and the primary raw materials must be exported!

Some "colonial companies" headed by Daming Nanyang Trading Company and Daming Mingwangcheng (Tianwangcheng is actually a company disguised as a city alliance), led a large number of small and medium-sized business firms, and began to enclose investment in various parts of Nanyang.

On those selected sites, the Nanyang Trading Company will be responsible for building ports and docks, while the Tianwang City Alliance will build cities around the Nanyang Company's ports and docks.Afterwards, these two consortiums will occupy land around the certain Tianwang City, and then award contracts to small and medium-sized commercial firms that have made a fortune in Nanyang to build plantations.And Nanyang Bank and Penglai Bank will provide financing and other financial services for these commercial activities...

Of course, the Nanyang Company and the Tianwangcheng Alliance are not always cooperating, and they are sometimes competitors—the Nanyang Company can also enclose land and build cities, and the Tianwangcheng Alliance can also build ports and docks.In addition, the Nanyang Company has also formed a land escort, and the Tianwangcheng Alliance also has a fleet.

In addition to these two giants, some smaller colonial companies have also opened up. After auctioning off the franchise trading license of the Ming court, they also began to invest wildly in various places in Nanyang!

In addition, the Ming court and Emperor Zhu are also major customers of these colonial companies-they will entrust these colonial companies to build and operate cities in Nanyang, and when these cities rise, they will be entrusted to the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty as their vassal states capital.

Recently, Emperor Zhu even released two big orders - to build two colonial cities on a desolate continent called "Southern Continent" in the southeast of Java Island!

Although not many people are optimistic about the future of these two colonial cities, business still needs to be done!

And these big deals of investing in colonial cities will turn into demand for Daming handicraft products, and with the development of the city, the demand will continue to flow and become bigger and bigger.The demand brought about by the development of Nanyang, as well as the raw materials and precious metals brought back from Nanyang, will greatly stimulate the investment and demand of Ming Dynasty and Japan.

The population growth and wasteland reclamation in the Ming Dynasty will also continuously provide demand and products, and the "internal circulation" of the entire Ming Dynasty will start like this!

In addition to the "inner circulation" in the Chinese circle, Emperor Zhu is still trying to create a controllable "outer circulation"... The so-called controllable, of course, is not the trade cycle with the NATO countries headed by the Frankish Empire.Although the trade volume between Daming and these countries is still not small, it is even growing.But as long as the emperor and "God" give orders together ("God" can order through silence), the trade may be interrupted!

Moreover, various news from Europe indicated that both Emperor Louis the Great and Pope Urban IX were trying to reduce the economic and trade exchanges between Daming and Europe.

However, Louis the Great and Urban IX can only influence some of the countries that have joined the North Atlantic Alliance, but they cannot control the Ottoman Empire, a "European power", nor can they restrain Persia, Hindustan, and the Crimean Khanate. teach the country.

And if these Tianfangjiao countries can form an Eastern Alliance, not only can they have close trade and economic exchanges with the Ming Empire, but they can also become the agents of the Ming Dynasty in the west!

And the GDP of these countries is not low!But a Hindustan empire could rank among the top three in the international GDP rankings at the end of the 17th century!

Although no one is currently counting the GDP of each country, but "Mao Guess" also knows that the GDP of the three countries of Ming, Mongolia, and Hindustan must be ranked first, second, and third in the world, and No. 4 is the Louis Empire—— Counting Frank and France together, Britain, the Netherlands, Japan, the Spanish Empire (including the Kingdom of Spain), and the Ottoman Empire should occupy five, six, seven, eighty-nine places. It is difficult to say who is more and who is less.Countries such as Rakshasa, Poland, Sweden, and Persia can probably compete for the tenth place in GDP.

So as long as Daming pulls the Eastern Alliance to his side, at least four countries with the top ten GDPs will join the internal and external cycle dominated by Ming... In other words, more than [-]% of the world's GDP belongs to the circle controlled by Ming!

However, the most important significance of the Eastern Alliance to the Ming Empire is not only in terms of trade, but also in terms of national security!

The first line of Ming’s defense against Europe is not in Malacca, let alone in the South China Sea, but in Vienna, Belgrade, and Istanbul... As long as Emperor Louis the Great does not take Vienna, Belgrade, and Istanbul, his main force will not be able to leave Europe!

So as long as the Eastern Alliance can be established, Ming's national security will be guaranteed!

……

"My lord, the Hindustan Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Persian Empire are relatively friendly. The ancestors of the Mughal Dynasty of the Hindustan Empire once borrowed troops from Persia, and relied on Persia's support to gain a firm foothold in India. So they even I have been married to Persians for many generations, and now I don’t look like Mongols, but like Persians. At the same time, because of religious reasons, the relationship between the Hindustan Empire and the Ottoman Empire is also very good... Although their ancestors had feuds, both of them belonged to the same faction, so the Hindustan Empire recognized the religious authority of the Caliph of the Ottoman Sultan.

However, the Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire were feuds. Historically, they fought endlessly, and they believed in different sects. The Persian Empire did not recognize the Caliph of the Ottoman Sultan.So it is still a bit difficult to promote the alliance between the Great Ottoman Empire and the Persian Empire..."

The one who was talking to Emperor Zhu about the relationship between the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire, and Hindustan in the imperial study room in the enclosure of the Wenhua Palace was Huang Zhisheng, the "Tianfang Sect expert on national issues" of the Ming Dynasty, and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. up.

Emperor Zhu, who had finished dividing his family, had already turned his attention back to the important matter of supporting agents in the West to fight against the Louis Empire.

Freemasonry is a dark situation based on the long-term, and it can be slowed down a little... I have to wait for Pu Songling to finish writing the "novel"!Although Pu Songling can write, it is really not easy to write this novel that brings together many elements such as Eastern and Western history, Western magic, and Eastern fairy tales!It is necessary to consult a large amount of historical data, or else you have to go through it.

Moreover, when Pu Songling was writing the "novel", Guo Youde and Philip had to collect Masonic relics everywhere... They are all old things handed down from the Yuan Dynasty. How can it be so easy to do now?

These are not only oriental cultural relics, but also Western cultural relics. The old master doesn't know where to ask for them?

But this matter is not too urgent, because that "Big Peter" has just participated in the "NATO Summit" and is now inspecting various European countries, and has not started reforming yet!So even if the Freemasonry exists now, it is useless.

But the establishment of ASEAN is urgent!

"Aren't the Persians afraid of the Great Mongol Kingdom?" Zhu Heqi frowned and said, "Persia was the territory of the Ilkhanate in history!"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something," Huang Zhisheng shook his head and said, "Since Kangxi Khan flattened Northwest India, he has been concentrating on internal affairs, wholeheartedly trying to twist his Indian Empire, Western Qing Kingdom, and Great Mongol Kingdom together...so Externally they are relatively soft, not only have they not fought against Persia, they have not even fought against the Hindustan Empire. Under such circumstances, of course the Persians are not afraid of Great Mongols.”

"Then will Kangxi Khan join NATO?" Zhu Heqi asked again, "If Kangxi Khan joins, the Persians should be afraid, right?"

India joining NATO...is it possible?

"Your Majesty," St. Philip shook his head and said, "This is impossible... because Emperor Louis would not welcome a great emperor who can stand against him to join the North Atlantic Alliance."

Although there are two "big countries" in the current North Atlantic Alliance, the Spanish Empire and the Raksha State, they only have a large territory, a small population, and their economic and military strength are not strong. For the time being, they can only be honest Be Louie's younger brother.

But Great Mongolia is different. The economic strength, military strength and population of Great Mongolia are stronger than the Frankish Empire (including France)!

If the Kangxi Khan Empire became a member of NATO, would Louis' boss still be like this?When the time comes, everyone will recognize Kang Mazi as the big brother, but he, Louis Lumazi (also had smallpox), is still like this?

St. Philip said again: "But after the establishment of the North Atlantic Alliance, Louis will definitely form an alliance with Great Mongolia in the name of the alliance."

That is to say, Great Mongolia does not belong to NATO, but it can become an ally of NATO... NATO may even support Great Mongolia to find troubles with Ming, just like Ming supported Ottoman to deal with Europeans!

From this perspective, the Ottoman Empire is now the agent of the Great Devil Zhu, and Emperor Kang Mazi may become the agent of the Catholic camp!

In the next hundred years, the Great Ming Dynasty and NATO may not make a big move, but the agents of both sides will not be so silent.

Therefore, both the Ming Dynasty and NATO have to weaken the other party's agents as much as possible while strengthening and controlling their own agents.

Emperor Zhu considered it for a while, and then said: "Then let Hindustan pay the money and buy Persia into the gang! Huang Shaoqing, work hard, go to Dhaka, and talk to Wu Guogui about it."

The current emir of the Hindustan Empire is Jahandar Shah, the grandson of Aurangzeb. Compared with his grandfather, he is really far behind. , Grandfather revenge, and does not intend to regain lost ground.He didn't even care about national security, and didn't plan to spend money on military expansion and war preparations, so he simply "hired" Wu Guogui to protect his country.

And Wu Guogui's status in Hindustan is a bit similar to the status of the British East India Company in history... He is the protector of Hindustan, and at the same time occupies the colony of Calcutta, and collects some protection fees from the Hindustan emperor every year. Foreign policy also has a say.

In fact, this Wu Guogui and his henchmen of the San Francisco are now Daming's agents in India!

Zhu Hechi thought for a while, and then said: "Huang Shaoqing, you take a license plate of Ming Dynasty Chartered India Trading Company to Dhaka, and give this license plate to Wu Guogui. You tell him that no matter what, you must promote the Ottoman Empire, The Persian Empire, the Eastern Alliance of the Hindustan Empire... In addition, in this grand alliance, the Hindustan Empire must play the role of a money bag! The Mughal Dynasty and the Ming India Company must provide military expenses for the Ottomans!"

If the weakness of the Great Mongolian Kingdom is that there may be problems with the "master supply chain" - without the import of Central Asian masters, the Great Mongolian Kingdom will become the second Mughal sooner or later, then the weakness of the agent of the Ottoman Empire is that it has no money up!

The Ottoman Empire has no shortage of "lords", and the Turks can fight on their own. There is also the Crimean Khanate in the north, and there is also a "scout system" to absorb fighters from Christians in the Balkans.However, Ottoman did not grab the American colonies, missed the opportunity of international zero-yuan purchases, and was even robbed of the trade monopoly leading to the East.

In addition, due to the influx of gold and silver from the New World into Europe, severe inflation was caused, and the money that the ancestors of the Ottoman Empire had robbed so hard was lost to inflation.Moreover, the territories occupied by the Ottoman Empire were not comparable to Western Europe after the emergence of oil tycoons, let alone the era when oil could not be sold for money.So no matter how hard the Ottoman Empire tried later, it could not change the fate that was declining more and more.

If the Ottoman Empire is to survive, someone must give money and goods... Of course, the Great Ming Dynasty cannot play the role of Ottoman's cow, and Hindustan is just right for it.

Chapter 885 The Devil Delegation Participating in the Versailles Demon Demon Conference!

In the autumn of the 33rd year of Kangxi, the Kazakh prairie.

Now is the season of high and crisp autumn, and even the sky on the grassland looks extraordinarily blue.On the golden prairie, groups of cattle and sheep are eating and walking, walking through the five-foot-high grass. When the wind blows, they will appear in people's sight. This is the real windblown grass Low see cattle and sheep.
