Yinti replied at this time: "Urban IX said that the Ming Empire has developed too rapidly in recent years, and has begun to violate the core interests of Europeans... If we don't stop it now, it will be Ming that will dominate the world in the future." not Europe."
Peter smiled and said, "Europe is ruling the world? I think it's Louis the Great who wants to dominate Europe? He has now controlled six German states, and if you count the Duchy of Lorraine, that's seven states. Adding the mainland of France, plus the Pope controlled by his ally Urban IX, and the influence of Louis and Urban on the Italian states. The Charlemagne Empire was almost reappearing in the world...France What is the population of the three countries of Germany, Italy and Germany?"
The great Peter's sensitivity to politics and international affairs was indeed extremely high, and he immediately saw through Louis XIV's mind.
Yinti thought for a while, then nodded and said: "France has a population of 2000 to 2000 million, the total population of the German states is no less than 500 million, and Italy has a population of 600... The total population of France, Germany, and Italy is nearly five. Thousands of [-] million! Second only to Ming Dynasty, Great Mongolia and Hindustan, it can be ranked fourth in the world."
Due to the bloody battle between Ming and Qing Dynasties, the population loss of Ming Dynasty was too great. Now the most populous country in the world is not Ming Dynasty, but India, with a total population of 5000 million.Even if it is divided into several pieces, it is only enough to make the Great Mongolia and Hindustan the most populous countries in the world.
Peter shook his head: "Not only that, if you add the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, Sweden...and other European Christians under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, how many people can Louis XIV rule at most?"
"8000 million, maybe 9000 million?" Yinti pondered and said, "The Frankish Empire will be the most populous country in the world by then!"
Although the Netherlands is rich, it is a small country with few people. In the Franco-Dutch War, it has tried its best to resist a France with a population of more than 600 million. If it were replaced by a Frank with a population of [-] million, the Dutch would have to kneel. up!
As for Poland, it is a system of electing kings, and it is common to elect foreigners as kings.Moreover, King Sobieski is old, and when he hangs up Louis XIV, he can run for the king of Poland, or choose his own agent to elect.Since the Poles have always yearned for Western Europe, Emperor Louis the Great went out in person, and with the addition of Urban IX playing the side drum, there was no reason why they could not be chosen.
If Poland became Louis' territory, then Denmark and Sweden would have no choice but to obey. As for Peter the Great's Rakshasa Kingdom, they could only recognize Louis XIV as the boss.
"Yes," Peter said worriedly, "and Western Europe is still very rich, what a rich land, much better than Rakshasa... The colony of New France is extremely vast, and the Netherlands, Sweden, and France also have large areas in India. A colony. Even if it is bigger than the country, it will not lose to Ming and Mongolia!"
Judging from Peter's tone, it seems that he has been attracted by the civilization and prosperity of Western Europe and France.
Yinti looked up at Big Peter and said seriously: "Brother Peter, you don't need to envy the wealth and strength of France. Your Rakshasa is bigger than the whole of Europe... Although it is bitter and cold, it is not impossible. My ah Ma Chang said that the people in the bitter cold are resolute, tough, indomitable, fearless, and brave to fight. They are by no means comparable to the people in warm and comfortable places. Although Rakshasa is bitter, cold and barren, but it has opened up territory from a small principality to such an extent, It shows his wisdom, courage and perseverance, and he will have a bright future in the future!"
……
Inside the Forbidden City, there are many palaces and pavilions, and there is a lot of silence.
St. Philip, who had already been enchanted, walked through a long corridor in the Forbidden City with Guo Youde, the minister of the Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty, and there were palace maids, servants, and guards running silently everywhere.St. Philip, who was about to meet the devil Zhu Hechi himself, was still a little apprehensive, and naturally he was not in the mood to appreciate the heavenly demeanor of the Ming Dynasty.
To be honest, this old palace, which has been built for more than 300 years, has gone through more than ten years of repairs, but it is still not as luxurious as Louis XIV's brand new Versailles Palace.It just takes up more land and more buildings.
I don't know how long it's been going, and even St. Philip suspects that the devil himself may fly in and out of his court with his wings on weekdays (in fact, the devil rides a bicycle).Just came to a building.He almost lost his footing and bumped his head on Guo Youde's back.
He looked up and realized that he was standing outside the front door of a granite veneer building.
He knew that this was a so-called Weilou, that is, a Chinese-style building.
Guo Youde turned his head and glanced at him, and said in a low voice: "Ni, be careful. When you see the Holy One later, you are not allowed to ask around. What did the Holy One ask, and what did you answer?"
Everything else about this St. Philip is fine, but it's a bit tricky to inquire about.On the way to Daming, he inquired east and west with Li Guangzu, the Shaoqing of Shangfang Guodianke Temple who accompanied him, and the questions were all about topics related to the Grand Duke and Emperor Zhu Heyi.For example, does Emperor Zhu have magic power?Will Emperor Zhu transform into a dragon?Can Emperor Zhu fly?
How would you ask Li Guangzu to answer this question?He is not familiar with Zhu Heqi, so how do he know if Emperor Zhu can transform into a dragon or ascend to the ascension?So Li Guangzu and St. Philip arrived in Daming together, and reported the incident to Guo Youde.That's why Guo Youde kindly reminded St. Philip today.
St. Philip can now understand some "business dialect". During this time, he and Li Guangzu traveled across the ocean together, and together they traveled from Shanghai to Nanjing.We got along with each other for four months, and when we had nothing to do, we learned "Business Dialect" from Li Guangzu.But he still doesn't understand the Chinese spoken by Guo Youde... Well, being able to understand Chaozhou dialect doesn't mean he can understand Tianjin dialect!
So Li Guangzu had to translate it into Latin: "Minister Guo told you, don't talk nonsense when you see the emperor later, you can answer whatever the emperor asks, and you must not ask the emperor about ghosts and gods!"
"I know, I know." St. Philip nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Guo Youde asked a guard in purple robes guarding outside the gate of the Weilou: "Su Shiliu, is the Holy Majesty inside?"
This Su Shiliu is from Chaozhou, a branch of the old Su family, and he spoke in Chaozhou Mandarin that St. Philip could understand: "Not here, the demon has gone, why don't you go in and wait for a while, and I will send someone to report."
Subduing the demon?
When St. Philip heard this, his heart was filled with excitement!
Emperor Ming can subdue demons, so he is really a devil!
Guo Youde didn't make much fuss when he heard that the emperor was going to subjugate the demon... "subduing the demon" is a slang term, the demon subduing is not other monsters, but the banshee Natalie!
This Natalie can be regarded as a trick that is popular all over the world. With her hot figure and a little erratic swordsmanship, she has been the favorite concubine for several years.
Of course Zhu Heqi now knows that other people's swordsmanship is much higher than his own, and that winning or losing is in the control of this witch, but he still likes to "surrender the demon"...often it takes half to an hour to "surrender", and often "Down" to sweating profusely or exhausted - both states of course!
Today, Zhu Heqi's subjugation of demons is not going well, and the banshee Natalie's swordsmanship is very good, and the two wooden swords in her hand are almost dancing.Zhu Hexi chose a very long two-handed wooden sword, hoping to subdue the banshee with its advantages in length and strength.
But Natalie's strength is not small, enough to resist Zhu Heqi's onslaught, and she can also carry out clever counterattacks, and several of them hit Zhu Heqi's armor... the referee in the martial arts arena Da Bo Ling has already been sentenced to lose by Emperor Zhu.However, Emperor Zhu was annoyed by Natalie's performance. He completely ignored Da Boling, the referee, and only paid attention to Natalie with a big wooden sword.But he couldn't even touch the edge of the latter's armor.
And that Natalie was still blocking and dodging, while saying the words of Qi Zhu and Qi: "Your Majesty, you have gained weight recently, and your swordsmanship has regressed so much. If you continue like this, you will not be able to beat the slave... Your Majesty, the slave just stabbed you again... I touched you, don't you feel it?"
"Hmph!" Zhu Heqi still didn't want to give up, he was in a hurry today, and he had to take Natalie down...and Natalie made him angry!It's been a long time since anyone dared to provoke him like this!Emperor Zhu was angry, and the consequences were serious!
Just when she was thinking about using a unique move to take down Natalie in one fell swoop, Da Boling yelled again: "My lord, Guo Youde has brought a living saint to meet you. He has already arrived at the Wenhua Palace."
Hearing this, Zhu Heqi immediately put away his two-handed swords, panting and said to Da Boling: "Great imperial concubine, take off my armor for me, I'm going to meet that living saint... Besides, let the imperial dining room prepare a banquet , I am going to invite the living saints to dinner at the Wenhua Palace tonight."
"A living saint?" Natalie, who was taking off her armor with the help of a court lady, heard something new and asked with a smile, "How could a saint be alive?"
Zhu Heqian glanced at that beautiful and enchanting woman, and the anger in his heart still hasn't dissipated, so he must take good care of her next time!However, he still patiently said to Natalie: "This living saint was conferred by the Catholic Church. It was the Catholic Church and the Spanish Empire who lost the battle in America and lost the holy spear. It is difficult to account for it. It is absurd to insist that those cardinals carrying holy spears are dead and canonized a saint! But this living saint seems to have some skills and talents, and I still have some things to ask him for advice."
Chapter 876 You have NATO, I have ASEAN!
Emperor Zhu took a shower, changed into clean clothes, brought a group of palace guards and a bachelor who could speak Latin, and rode a bicycle rumbled to the newly renovated Wenhuadian building. After a while, amidst the shouts of "The Holy Majesty is here", he strode into the audience hall on the second floor of the Wenhua Hall.
The audience hall is located in a large room facing south, with large windows made of small pieces of transparent plate glass, and the lighting is quite good.When Zhu and Qi arrived, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon. After seeing the living saints, they happened to have dinner and a feast.
Seeing Emperor Zhu striding forward, Guo Youde hastily bowed and said, "My subject, Guo Youde, respectfully invites Shengan."
Li Guangzu also hastily saluted and saluted: "Chen Shangguo Dianguo Shaoqing Li Guangzu respectfully invites Shengan."
St. Philip also imitated the appearance of Guo Youde and Li Guangzu, bowed his head, and said something in Chaozhou official dialect: "Mr. Philip de Romano respectfully invites the great emperor Shengan!"
"Pingshen, Pingshen, give a seat." Zhu Heqi smiled and gave the three people their seats while sitting on the throne.
His words were immediately translated into Latin by the squire.
When St. Philip heard this, he was not polite, and sat down firmly on a chair brought together by two guards, and then carefully looked at the big devil Zhu on the throne.In fact, he had met Great Devil Zhu many years ago when he was ordered to exorcise demons in Daming. At that time, Great Devil Zhu had just captured Jiangxi, and he was still a young man of five grades and three rough.But now, Big Devil Zhu is already a middle-aged devil. Because of regular exercise (fencing, boxing, wrestling), he maintains a very good figure, and his bearded face looks even more ferocious after getting older.You can tell it's a very vicious demon at a glance!I don't know if the goblin who sneaked into the palace was caught by him?If you catch it... you will definitely be beaten badly, right?
When he was sympathizing with the monster, Emperor Zhu had already said, "Philip, we haven't seen each other for many years, right? The last time we met at Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang Mansion, it was during the reign of King Ding Jianguo. This year, the Duke is 15 years old." It's been a year! These days really fly by!"
St. Philip tried his best to speak Chaozhou official dialect, and sometimes added a few Latin words: "The emperor is right, it is already 1694 in the Western calendar, and it will be the 6th century in six years."
Zhu Heqi nodded: "The 18th century...that was a very crucial century!"
The eighteenth century was the century of the Industrial Revolution!
Whoever captures the eighteenth century will stay ahead for the next three or four hundred years!
But to seize the opportunity of the industrial revolution, it is not enough to rely on one's own efforts alone, one has to find ways to hold back others... After all, there is only one No.1!The competition in the industrial revolution is not only a competition between countries, but also a competition among civilizations.In history, Britain was the first country to start the chapter of the Industrial Revolution, but Britain's achievements are based on the entire Western civilization, rather than relying on England with a population of tens of millions to advance to industrialization alone.
Britain in the [-]th century was compared to the countries on the European continent, a bit like the United States in the [-]th century was compared to the Eurasian continent... When the European continent and the Eurasian continent were caught in continuous war, the mainland of the United Kingdom and the United States could rely on the sea Protected from the destruction of the war, they can make war fortunes while accepting the capital and talents who fled from the war zone. At the same time, they also become the final destination of the raw materials produced by the colonies owned by the entire civilization and the source of the colonial market. final supplier.
There is no shortage of capital, raw materials, talents, and markets, and it seems natural to cultivate an industrialized industry.
"What the great emperor said," St. Philip followed Zhu Heqi, "if it weren't for you, China would probably have lost the crucial eighteenth century... The European Christian civilization now has a population of nearly 100 million, and in another 19 years By the beginning of the [-]th century, the total population of Christian civilization is likely to reach [-] million. At that time, the New World will be firmly occupied by European immigrants, and even Africa and the southern continent will also be ruled by European immigrants. At that time, Chinese civilization will Trapped forever on the soil of East Asia!"
Although this St. Philip didn't know that there was an industrial revolution, he analyzed the relationship between population and land, and he got a similar result-even if there was no industrial revolution, European Christian civilization would be able to survive by occupying land and having children. Establish rule over most of the world in the early 19th century!
Although in the original history, the population of the Qing Dynasty reached more than 19 million at the beginning of the 3th century, which was equivalent to the population of the entire European Christian civilization.But at that time, Europe already had enough surplus population to send to the New World, Southern Africa and Oceania.When the white population there reaches a certain number, the coastline and national borders there will be closed, and there will be no "land of no man" for colonists from East Asia to easily occupy...Even without the industrial revolution, colonists in East Asia would have It is impossible to launch a landing battle across the ocean to drive away the white colonists who have already occupied the land!
"But now, China has not overwhelmed the West," Zhu Hechi said. "The two sides are just competing against each other, and the advantage is that the West has a bigger advantage! Their territory is larger and their population is larger."
In fact, Daming's military power and "spells" are both superior. If they can find a piece of land now, and both sides send hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, the winner will definitely be Daming!
But the current shipping technology is simply impossible to support this kind of intercontinental war.During the Opium War in history, the British sent 2 people including the navy, and the army that could go ashore to fight at most was [-].This is a matter of [-] years!
But now, even if Emperor Zhu devoted all his power to the country, he would send tens of thousands of expeditionary troops to America or India.If you want to bypass Africa or South America and send an expeditionary force of more than [-] people to Europe... that is basically impossible!
Similarly, it is impossible for the current Louis XIV to send troops to the east of Malacca or to South America and across the Pacific Ocean to Japan and the Philippines... Even if he sent thousands of people over with his old nose, he would still give away his head.
Therefore, the decisive battle between Eastern and Western civilizations will not happen in the next 150 years, or even [-] years... If both sides carry out the industrial revolution, technically, one side cannot crush the other.Then this kind of intercontinental war will at least happen after large-scale equipment of steam battleships.Just like the Russo-Japanese War in history!
But the fact that a large-scale intercontinental war will not happen does not mean that the two sides will live in peace until the steam fleet appears.
The two sides can also compete in North America and the Indian Ocean, and they can foster proxies to fight to weaken the other side.
"Your Majesty the Emperor," said St. Philip, "you have done very successfully in the direction of the New World. You have fostered the two agents of the Shang Kingdom and the Aztec Kingdom, and at a very small cost, you have made the two Western empires One of the Spanish empires is in crisis. If King Montezuma can capture part or all of Mexico, and the Yin family of the Shang Kingdom can advance to the west bank of the Mississippi River...then the future situation in the Americas will be very beneficial to Ming.
As for the Indian Ocean and Europe, IMHO, the current advantage is on the side of Louis XIV and Kangxi Khan! "
The national policy of Zhu Heqi is to contain the United States... since nearly 100 years before the birth of the United States!Therefore, he invested more manpower, material resources, and energy in the New World than in India and Europe.
On the European side, he supported the Ottoman Empire through the arms trade.In the Indian Ocean, the remnants of Wu, Shang, and Geng supported the Hindustan Empire against Kangxi Khan and a group of European colonists.
But the Ottoman Empire has a population of just over 2000 million, and its economy, technology, military and other aspects are weaker than the Europeans. When Europe was divided, the Ottomans could still take advantage of it. However, after the fall of Vienna, the Louis XIV Empire has gradually It took shape—the Battle of Vienna bought Ming a time window of about eight years, otherwise the development of Shang Fang Kingdom, Yin Family Department and Aztec Kingdom would not be so smooth.But this window period has been completely closed with the formation of the Louis XIV Empire!
And Wu, Shang, and Geng Sanfan are not Kangxi Khan's opponents!They are good at fighting, but they are completely amateurs in politics.Kangxi, on the other hand, was good at both military and politics.Moreover, Kangxi was young and full of energy, while Wu Guogui, Shang Zhixin, and Geng Jingzhong were all old.They were all in their 50s and [-]s when they entered India. Now Wu Guogui and Shang Zhixin are old men, and Geng Jingzhong is dead!
That Wu Yingxiong has been lying flat since entering Myanmar, and is now terminally ill, and he probably won't live for long.
In addition, the San Francisco veterans who followed them into Burma and India were basically dying, either retired or died of illness.And the new generation of San Francisco warriors have become feudal lords who own manors in Myanmar and India... Under the service of a group of Indian sudras, they have no motivation to fight Kangxi Khan, and even "anti-imperialist and anti-colonial" "The willingness is not enough.
On the territory of Calcutta and Jittafu occupied by Wu, Shang, and Geng in Bangladesh, there are business houses and embassies of Western colonists everywhere, and the merchant ships moored in the port are mainly Western... There are even large areas of Western land. The expatriate district is just short of establishing a concession!
Although Zhu and Qi repeatedly reminded them to be careful of Western colonists, these San Francisco nobles completely ignored them in order to make money.And the Burmese palace sent by Zhu Hexi (the Burmese king Zhu Yijing has not yet returned to the country) also needs the tribute from the San Francisco to maintain expenses, so he just turned a blind eye.
And Zhu Hechi himself is actually unwilling to include Hindustan in the civilization circle of the Celestial Dynasty... Although Hindustan's territory is not large, it has a large population, almost 7000 million, which does not need to be much less than that of the Celestial Dynasty.If Zhu Hechi encloses Hindustan, Indian immigrants will not be able to flee to Southeast Asia in groups?
So he can only allow the Mughals to engage in corruption in Hindustan.
There is no way around this, anyone who goes there will be corrupt... Kangxi Khan's empire will be corrupt sooner or later, but because Kangxi Khan has a "supply chain of masters in Central Asia", it can last for a long time.
At the same time, European investment in the southern Indian colonies was clearly greater than in history.They can no longer enter Southeast Asia, so naturally they can only invest more in southern India.
Therefore, in recent years, five larger and larger colonies have appeared on the coastline of southern India, including Dutch India, British India, French India, Portuguese India, and Swedish India.The Netherlands, Britain, France, Portugal, and Switzerland continued to expand inland based on their respective colonies, occupying and annexing territories that originally belonged to Indian states, and there was a tendency to completely carve up southern India.
And Kangxi Khan's Indian Empire has also been expanding and consolidating in recent years.In the northeast direction, the Indian Empire has expanded to Nepal!In the southeast direction, the Indian Empire has pressed to the northern part of the Deccan Plateau.Moreover, Kangxi Khan also established a large number of provinces in the Indian Empire and began to strengthen local control.There seems to be a tendency to cleanse India...
Although the current situation in the direction of the Indian Ocean can still be maintained, what about a hundred years from now?
Once the great emperor Zhu Heqi is gone, can Daming still maintain its power in the Indian Ocean?
Zhu Heqi looked at St. Philip who had come from afar, and seemed to be looking for a solution from this true "European school".
"Your Majesty the Emperor," said St. Philip, "as far as I know, Emperor Louis the Great has been trying to form a grand alliance aimed at containing the Ming Dynasty...may include the Spanish Empire, the Great Mongol Kingdom, and the Raksha Kingdom. A big country, competing with Ming in economics, politics, diplomacy, military and other aspects!"
Such a familiar plan!
Zhu Hexi said inwardly, "Why do these Westerners follow the same path?"
Zhu Heqi asked Ji: "Then how should I deal with it?"
"Your Majesty," said St. Philip, "I suggest that you support an ASEAN to oppose Louis XIV's Grand Alliance."
Well, ASEAN against NATO...seems a bit weak!
"ASEAN?" Zhu Heqi frowned, and said in his heart: "The Warsaw Pact is not good, and ASEAN can do something?"
"Yes," said St. Philip, "an Eastern alliance!"
"Who is there?" Zhu Heqi asked again.
St. Philip said: "There is the Ottoman Empire, the Persian Empire, and the Hindustan Empire."
Zhu Hechi was taken aback for a moment: "But Ottoman, Persia, and Hindustan are all in the west! Besides... Will Da Ming participate?"
"Your Majesty, Ottoman, Persia, and Hindustan are all considered to be the East compared to Louis XIV's empire." Philip explained, "As for Ming... My suggestion is to maintain cooperation with the Eastern Alliance and not to participate, because it is very important to Ming. The most beneficial. It can not only maintain a biased neutrality, but also avoid being affected when the Ottoman Empire fails. It is also beneficial for Ming to foster a big country in the Western camp that can resist the Louis XIV Empire, such as... the Raksha Kingdom! "
Chapter 877 The Chief Steward of the Freemasonry!
"Promoting Rakshasa Kingdom?"
Zhu Heqi was slightly taken aback when he heard St. Philip's suggestion, and asked, "How should we support it? The Raksha Kingdom is a staunch ally of the Great Mongol Kingdom. That Tsar Peter even used the title of Golden Horde Khan bestowed by Kangxi Khan to share with me. Daming. Will he become my enemy when he grows stronger?"
"Hahaha..." St. Philip made Zhu and Qi amused.Are you kidding me, you are the devil Zhu!How dare Peter start a war with you?He thought he was God?
"Philip, is what I said funny?" Zhu Heqian looked at St. Philip and suddenly laughed, a little confused—he didn't know that he was a devil!Although his soul travel is very strange and unscientific, it does not mean that he is a devil.
St. Philip laughed and said, "Emperor, are you kidding me? How dare the Raksha Kingdom be an enemy to you? Even Louis XIV dared to say something to contain Ming. If he really wanted to go to war with Daming, he would never dare of."
The Sun King is also afraid of the devil!
Louis XIV knew that his Sun King was false, and he had no control over the affairs of the sun.But the devil Zhu Heqi is probably real...there really are devils!
If there is no devil, where do so many advanced gadgets of natural magic come from?
Therefore, as long as Zhu Hexi survived, the Western colonists would not dare to take Da Ming's idea for a day. At most, they would fight a proxy war with Da Ming in the Americas and the Indian Ocean, and Da Ming had to take the initiative to find fault.
"Then Peter may not accept my support!" Zhu Hexi said again, "After all, he worships God, and the nobles of Rakshasa seem to admire the prosperity and progress of Europe, and they really want to enter Europe!"
St. Philip nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, the Rakshasa nobles definitely want to enter Europe, but not all because of their admiration for the prosperity and progress of Europe, but because of "Yuanjun", "Yuanchen" ", "Original Law", "Original Confucianism", "Original People" and other books. If you want to act in accordance with it, then the tsar is not the dictator of the Rakshasa, and the nobles are not the masters of the Rakshasa serfs, and they cannot be kept. So much land! And Rakshasa’s serfs… I’m afraid they won’t even be able to be stable serfs. Of course, Peter’s tsarism may end first.”
These works with the prefix "Yuan" were created by Huang Zongxi and Emperor Zhu himself... This Huang Zongxi had already taken office in the Chenghuang Yamen in Ningbo a few years ago!To die is to be contented!Not only can he be a city god, but almost all his political dreams have been realized by the devil Zhu Hechi.Not only has it been achieved, but there are many more!
The core of Huang Zongxi's thoughts are "Yuanjun", "Yuanchen", and "Yuanfa". Zhu Heqi continued "Yuanru" and "Yuanmin", and realized the principles on paper one by one. up!
But these great Ming systems can be realized, and they are still operating quite well. If they are taken to Rakshasa, they will be messed up.Because Zhu Hexi’s Ming Dynasty was not actually the old Ming Dynasty, but a newly built Ming Dynasty... In fact, it was a "revolutionary dynasty" that successfully rebelled!
The "revolutionary dynasty" that succeeded in the rebellion did not form a strong interest group at the beginning...or the new interest group that came to power also supported the redistribution of wealth.Because only "redistribution" can they participate in and share a share!If Zhu Hechi protected the private property of the landlord class scholar-bureaucrats, where would those who followed Zhu Hechi rebel divide the land?
Those upper-class wealthy people who rebelled with Zhu and Qi, such as the Zheng family, Qiu family, Su family, Yu family, and Pang family, were all businessmen.Zheng and Qiu are pirates (sea merchants), Mr. Yu's family runs a sugar factory, and Pang's family runs a bank. These are vicious capitalists!And Zhu Hechi himself is also a big capitalist who takes the route of scientific and technological innovation.So this time the Ming and Qing re-alternation is a bourgeois revolution!
