Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 327

Before taking all of Northwest India into the bag and completely digesting it.Kangxi Khan had no...nor did he dare to have any plans to go to war with Daming again.

Even if Zhu and Qi colluded with Anukedun and Tsengarabutan to "hack" most of Galdan's territory and subordinates, he, the Mongolian Khan, would just pretend that nothing happened.

However, Emperor Zhu Heqi of the Ming Dynasty did not consider Kangxi Khan's "goodwill" at all, and began to get involved in India early in the morning!

This is really no way out for people!

Almost at the same time that Kangxi invaded India.Wu Guogui, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Zhixin and other "three vassal armies" appointed by Zhu Heqi entered India in the name of aiding Aurangzeb!

Although the San Francisco is always despicable and shameless.Taking more than 1000 million silver rupees from Aurangzeb will not fight well, and it is likely to kill Aurangzeb!

But Kangxi still dare not take it lightly.

Because after Zhu Hechi "failed" to invade India by using the three-point vassal, it is very likely that he will end in person and invade India on a large scale.

And the power of this Great Ming is not comparable to those remnants of the San Francisco!

At this moment, Kangxi Khan could almost imagine tens of thousands, no, hundreds of thousands of soldiers marching into India!

What's even more frightening is that once Ming completely controls the seas of Nanyang, the Ming army will be able to come in a steady stream through low-cost shipping!

And with India's terrain surrounded by the sea on three sides, when faced with a steady stream of powerful enemies coming from the sea, it is even impossible to defend!

"Mr. Hughes, Mr. Campus..." Kangxi thought about his words, and remained calm on the surface, as if he didn't care about anything.

Kangxi said slowly: "If I remember correctly, the Philippines belongs to New Spain, and New Spain belongs to Spain...and the Spanish Empire is neutral! Didn't they belong to the Eight-Power Allied Forces that attacked India?"

The Kingdom of New Spain is a colonial vassal state established by Spain in America.All Spanish possessions in the Americas are under the jurisdiction of the Spanish Governor General.

Although the Philippines is far away in Asia, it is also under the administration of the Governor's Mansion of New Spain-to be honest, the Spaniard's hand is really long enough!Stretched from Europe across the Atlantic Ocean, to the New World.Crossed the entire New World, stretched across the Pacific Ocean, and finally caught the Philippines!

However, they did not intervene in India this time, so they were not included in the "printing" of the Eight-Power Allied Forces.

"Khan!" Princess Sophia interjected at this moment, "Now is not the time to worry about these things... Anyway, the Spanish Empire has already stood with us Great Mongolia!

Isn't it a good thing that the Eight-Power Allied Forces have become the Nine-Power Allied Forces? "

Both William Hughes and Camps glanced at this thick woman, and were amazed at Kangxi's taste and ability - how did Kangxi cope with the difference in size between the two?

"Will there be coalition forces against Ming Dynasty?" Kangxi asked.

"There will definitely be," Hughes said. "Mr. Campus and I are here for this purpose... We hope to form a broad alliance to curb Ming's tendency to expand."

"Yes." Campos said, "The Philippines is not a barbaric and backward country, but a colony of the Spanish Empire... The Spanish Empire has been there for more than 100 years."

"Governor Campos, Ambassador Hughes," Kangxi Khan asked, "Do you mean that we should immediately form a nine-nation coalition to support the Philippine Islands?"

"No, it's too late now," said Krampus immediately.

"Yes, if we could form an alliance earlier, maybe we could do something? But now, it's too late." Hughes said with a look of regret, "Khan, let us learn this painful lesson. We You shouldn't trust Zhu Heqi...because he has no credibility at all!"

"Since we don't send troops, what's the use of this alliance?" Kangxi Khan asked.

He was a little dizzy from the trouble of the two foreign devils, and he still seems to be in a fog.I don't understand what these two guys want?

But Sophia already understood a little bit, and she said to Kangxi in Mongolian: "They may want a defensive nine-nation alliance with the purpose of containing Ming Dynasty...but the alliance's defense obligations do not include the Philippines, which has already been attacked.

Also, I guess, they want our Indian Empire to supply them with sugar!Enough cheap white sugar!Maybe they also want to get the crafting method on the cheap. "

Understood!

Kangxi understood everything.What Hughes and Krampus want is mainly sweet powder...just make a big detour and say it.

But for Great Mongolia, this is an opportunity to become the leader of the nations!

At this time, the British ambassador William Hughes also revealed the answer.

He said to Kangxi Khan: "Although this alliance cannot immediately defeat Zhu Hechi and his empire...but at least it can stop him from expanding further. At the same time, it can also free us from our dependence on the white sugar used by the Ming Dynasty.

Because only when we have a reliable supply of sugar and no longer rely on the high price of sugar provided by the Ming Dynasty, can we defeat or contain Zhu Hechi and his allies. "

"Da Ming's ally?" Kangxi asked, "Who is it?"

"The Ottoman Empire and the Hindustan Empire!" Kemps said, "We have reason to believe that there is a Ming-Hindustan-Ottoman Triple Alliance in the current world."

In fact, the three countries are not really allied.

William Hughes added: "This is an evil axis trying to destroy the civilized world! The Great Mongol Kingdom is also the target they want to destroy!"

Finally told the truth!Kangxi nodded lightly, thinking to himself: "Da Ming is determined to kill me!"

Sophia hugged the neighbor and said, "Of course we will produce enough white sugar... Khan will start pushing this matter after he takes office as the emperor of the Indian Empire. Punjab will soon become a famous sugar-producing area in the world!" "

Kangxi Khan said: "There are more than 20 processes for refining sugar...it requires a lot of labor, and my Indian Empire happens to have a large population. In a few years, it will become the capital of sugar!"

"That's great!"

"All of Europe will appreciate your generosity."

Kangxi Khan also seemed very satisfied, and nodded with a smile: "Then let's discuss an Eight-Nation Covenant together!"

"What is the Eight Kingdoms?"

"It should be the Nine Kingdoms."

Kangxi smiled and glanced at Sophia, "The Raksha Kingdom will not join the alliance."

"why?"

"Why didn't the Rakshasa Kingdom participate?"

Kangxi said: "Because the Raksha Kingdom still needs to complete a series of reforms before it can have the strength to fight against Ming... After all, Raksha and Daming are neighboring countries!"

He is still very considerate of Little Emperor Peter, and it is better for Raksha Kingdom to have both sides.After all, others can yell from a distance, but Luo Sha has to really put his strength into it.

Sophia also nodded, and said in the tone of the leader of the alliance: "Yes, Peter is still young...not the age to fight, this matter will be decided first!"

Chapter 777 Kangxi is Emperor again!

The Great Mongol Kingdom, the Kingdom of Spain, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of England, the United Provinces of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Portugal, the Kingdom of Sweden, and the Papal State finally came together because of the continuous rise of the Great Ming Dynasty. The alliance to encircle and contain Ming Dynasty began to take shape step by step from the end of 1685 in the Western calendar.

However, there are no telegrams or telephones these days, and it is even more impossible to hold video conferences. Therefore, it is not only extremely difficult to form a major alliance across continents, but it will also take a very long time... starting from Lahore A trip to Western Europe costs more than 1 miles, and it takes three or four months to travel a hundred miles a day. If the mission stays in Western Europe for a few months to negotiate, and then spends three or four months returning to Lahore, it may not be good. That's a whole year!

As for such a big matter as forming an alliance against Ming Dynasty, the European kings, rulers, popes, regents, etc., shouldn't they be counted together?After all, Daming is too powerful, so don't look back, Daming is not against you, the strong ships and cannons of the Daming Navy came to the door to sign an unequal treaty... Burn yourself!

Therefore, if the eight-nation "printing" alliance wants to develop into the eight-nation anti-Ming alliance, it will be impossible to succeed if it slowly bargains and calculates repeatedly within a few years.

And in this process, it is even more impossible to keep it secret... In fact, Emperor Kangxi never wanted to hide this matter at all, so while he was organizing the Eight Kingdoms Anti-Ming Alliance, he still let the Ming envoy led by Tu Hai The regiment stayed in Lahore.

Not long after the mission of Emperor Kangxi (Emperor of India) left Lahore, Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong who retreated to Agra learned about it from Tuhai who came from Lahore.

"What? Tu Linzhou, what are you talking about? That kid Kangxi wants to collude with foreigners and rebel against me?"

"Hmph, how many Yangyi dare to join forces with him after eating the bear's heart? Are they not afraid that my soldiers will come to their European land to settle accounts with them?"

In a mansion near the Royal Palace of Agra, Tuhai, who is full of travel and dust, meets Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong, who are enjoying the decadent life of Indian maharajas.

These two guys were both wearing thin cotton gowns, with bald heads and no hats, sitting on reclining chairs one by one, surrounded by three or four beautiful maids dressed in fancy clothes who were fanning and feeding fruits. They lived a happy life.

Although the "lost battle" made Kangxi a little tricked, Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong are still full of confidence, they don't take Kangxi Khan's army seriously at all, and even threatened to fight Go to Europe.

Of course, their confidence was not without reason.Their defeat in Lahore was not a loss at all!

On the one hand, Aurangzeb gave them a "down payment" of 500 million silver rupees. On the other hand, the main force of Kangxi Khan's "Five and Eight Banners" did not fight them after Kangxi Khan led the cavalry to leave, but just "gifted" them Retreat to Agra.

In addition, after Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong withdrew to Delhi, they not only removed all the Mughal treasury in Delhi and all the treasures left in the Delhi palace, but also found a grandson of Aurangzeb named The dude of Jahandar brought them to Agra together, and he is going to be the next emir of Hindustan... Although Hindustan has lost the northwestern half, the remaining southeast is generally not very stable. The prince of Shaotubang was already ready to move after learning of the defeat in Lahore.

But Wu Guogui and Geng Jingzhong still have the confidence to help Jahandar to the top, at least they can control a large piece of rich Indian territory... Even if they can only firmly grasp a Bangladeshi, it is enough for them to earn a few lifetimes to enjoy Inexhaustible wealth.

So they talked big and casually, and they were not afraid of Kangxi Khan chasing them to Bengal to settle accounts with them.

"Linzhou, apart from tossing about the Eight-Nation Alliance, what is Kang Mazi busy these days? Is he also busy eating, drinking and having fun?"

Wu Guogui, who changed the question, sat up straight on the recliner, and waved to a beautiful Indian beauty with shiny jewels on her nose and navel. All the other maids withdrew.

Tuhai smiled and said: "He's not that carefree...he also has a bitch-like Queen Sofia! This woman arrived in Lahore a few days ago, and brought her son born for Kangxi, and asked Kangxi Let this son be the crown prince."

Geng Jingzhong said with a smile: "Isn't Kangxi still a Tongzhi? This is quite noisy."

Tu Haidao: "Kangxi still has a way... He wants to make Tongzhi the prince of Great Mongolia, and make Sophia's son the prince of the Indian Empire and Prince of Kabul."

"What? The two princes?" Wu Guogui burst out laughing, "Why don't we fight?"

Tuhai said with a smile: "The fight will be a matter of the future, and now I can finally be safe. When I left Lahore, Kangxi was preparing for the enthronement ceremony."

"What? Enthronement ceremony?" Geng Jingzhong said enviously, "How many times has he been enthroned?"

"The fourth time." Tu Haidao, "The first time I was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and then I held two Kuritai conferences, and I became the Mongolian Khan twice. This time I became the emperor of India... I became the emperor again , this is unprecedented!"

He paused, and then said: "He should continue the grand ceremony in the past two days... After finishing the work, he has to go to Samarkand to hold the Kuritai Conference and elect his son Yinfeng as the Mongolian prince. When he comes from Samarkand When Markan comes back, he will preside over the imperial examination in Lahore!"

"What? It still depends on the imperial examination?" Wu Guogui asked with a look of surprise, "Is there anyone in India who understands stereotyped writing?"

Tuhai shook his head, "I don't know... General Wu, that's all I know." He took out two more memorials, "Here are the title books and notebooks I wrote, please send them to me." Pass it up. It is a trivial matter for Kangxi to be emperor a few times, but the Eight-Nation Alliance should not be underestimated."

"Okay," Wu Guogui patted his chest and said with a smile, "It's on me... I happen to have a few generous gifts to send up, and I happen to be on the same road."

……

Lahore Fort, Palace of Mirrors.

Kangxi Khan of Great Mongol and Emperor of the Indian Empire, Kangxi I, was standing in front of a bronze mirror at this time, looking at himself in a bright yellow court robe with four clouds and dragon patterns... and a queen wearing a super-size bright yellow beside him Sofia in court gown.

Today is a good day for Kangxi to ascend the throne for the fourth time. Although it is not the first time to be emperor, the mood is more exciting than when he first ascended the throne when he was a child.Because when he became the emperor for the first time when he was a child, the throne was passed down by his father Shunzhi, and he became the emperor because of the pockmarks on his face.It's like a picked up throne, I don't know how to cherish it!

And the Indian emperor he wants to become today is the result of his hard work after he wiped out the Qing Dynasty... Thinking about it now, it is really not easy!

Sofia, who was standing with him, looked at herself in the mirror and also grinned... The super rich queen of the Indian Empire!

This is much better than marrying a broken grand duke in Europe!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Kangxi looked back at Sofia as if, although she was a little ugly, it was still from Wangve... It also gave him a sense of security.It looks like Oboi!He vaguely remembered that when he became the emperor for the first time when he was a child, he was escorted by Oboi!

"Your Majesty, empress, the auspicious time has come."

When Kangxi was thinking of Obai from Sofia, the voice of Eunuch Gui, the head manager, rang out.

Kangxi smiled and bowed to the female Ao: "Ao... queen, the time has come, we should go out to accept the 'Five and Eight Banners' and the Brahmans, the head of the Tianfang religion, as well as the Sikh masters and sages, and be loyal to us. The princes of the Tubang have made a pilgrimage. After we are done, we have to go to worship Changshengtian, Brahma, the true God, Confucius, and our ancestors!"

Chapter 778 You have the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, and my Ming Dynasty is gloriously isolated!

When Emperor Kangxi I and his queen "Oboi" were singing and dancing (in Bollywood movies of later generations, Emperor Kangxi and Queen Oboi would dance by themselves), ascended to the supreme position, and walked towards the highlight moment of their lives when.They... are also the enemies of the entire Western world. The Grand Duke and Emperor Zhu Heqi of the Ming Dynasty have returned to the most loyal Ming Dynasty "Haijing" Guangzhou prefecture.

In the past few years, Emperor Zhu has been stranded in Beijing, and even moved the entire Ming court to Beijing.And as Ge Erdan fled to Yeerqiang and Tsewang Arabutan brothers to control the grasslands of Ili, Junggar and Khobduo, Zhu and Qi's work in Beijing came to an end.So when the winter came in the sixth year of Dagong, Emperor Zhu led his court all the way south to Guangzhou.He and his small half of the imperial court spent several months inspecting the great rivers and mountains of Ming Dynasty while traveling.

Well, there are beautiful mountains and rivers everywhere, with beautiful scenery and almost no pollution.After the full implementation of the land equalization system, the lives of ordinary people are not bad... There are fewer people, more land and more average. For Chinese farmers, a world of great governance is nothing more than this.

In the countryside of Beizhili, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, and Guangdong that Zhu Heqi passed through on his way south, the number of children also began to increase dramatically!In every village community and every surrounding building that Emperor Zhu passed by, you can see groups of children playing and playing... Whether they are children or the elderly, they all look like they can eat and wear warmth.

Moreover, these villages and the farmlands outside the surrounding buildings are also well-groomed. There are no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and they are all "pollution-free, pure natural" agricultural products. Naturally, their growth cannot be compared with those abnormally strong agricultural products of later generations.But fortunately, the land is very abundant, so outside every village building, you can see large tracts of unattractive agricultural products.

In addition, due to the relatively small population, grass rotation has naturally become the most economical mode of agricultural production.Therefore, the villages and surrounding buildings that Zhu Heqi saw on the way south all had a lot of livestock... It seems that the common people living there can eat meat and drink milk from time to time.

Although this kind of life is not rich, it is comfortable enough.For the Chinese people who have suffered many disasters in history, now is almost the best time.

The so-called granary is real and knows etiquette, and food and clothing are sufficient to know honor and disgrace.Now that they can finally eat their fill and fill their warehouses with grain, the farmers of course also attach importance to education.

Therefore, elementary schools were set up in most of the village communes and enclosures.These elementary school textbooks are provided free of charge by the Ming court, and there are not many subjects, namely Confucianism (equivalent to Chinese plus moral education), mathematics, martial arts, handicrafts, and gardening. It is a compulsory course for entering county or township (township) primary schools.

Of course, there are also some private primary and secondary schools that do not fully exist in this system of further education.However, the current Ming court spent money to establish a system that is close to the so-called "modern new education", which can still ensure that most "tianniu" (born cow babies) will enter the university step by step.Although the number of domestic universities in the Ming Dynasty is not large at present, there are only Beijing Daofa School, Qingbei University School, Jinling University School, Daming University School, Lingnan University School, Haizhu University School, Daming Medical School, and the Army Academy and Naval Academy Two military universities, nine universities in total.

The level of mathematics, natural magic, natural Taoism, and philosophy taught by these universities is not too high in Zhu Heqi's opinion, but it can be regarded as a fusion of Eastern and Western natural philosophy, mathematics, and Taoism (physics, chemistry) at the highest level.

In addition, these universities have also opened many professional disciplines such as engineering, navigation, medicine, law, business, and education, which are easier to find jobs.

All in all, the Ming Dynasty under the rule of Zhu Heqi, the Mingjun, is on a pretty good upward path!

And Guangzhou, as the earliest capital of the Celestial Empire, whose fortunes are constantly rising, already had the meaning of an international metropolis in the spring of the seventh year of the Grand Duke!

The streets that had been empty and empty due to the wars between the Ming and Qing Dynasties have now returned to a bustling scene.The people of Ming Dynasty, as well as various merchants from Western, Southern and Eastern regions, crowded the streets.On the several spacious streets leading to the Tianzi Ferry Pier outside the city, the carriages coming and going are all full of goods. These are goods that come from overseas or are about to be shipped overseas... It is also the origin of Guangzhou, a large oriental trading port. The charm!

Occasionally there will be a cavalry passing by on the street, and the knights on the cavalry are all able-bodied downwind riders—in order to command Daming, a growing country, and to facilitate the delivery of letters by the government and folks in various parts of Daming.After Zhu Heqi regained Beijing, he began to fully restore the post office system of Ming Dynasty, but it was no longer called a post station... The rebellion of Li Zicheng, a "laid-off postman", made Emperor Zhu feel that the title of "postposter" was not good enough. Geely, I changed the name to "Shunfeng Division"!

A few horses from the Shunfeng Division galloped along the equestrian road around Guangzhou, and soon detoured to the Yuexiu Palace in the north of the city, which was the original Sifang Fort of Yuexiu Mountain.Due to the rapid economic development in Guangzhou, the surrounding areas of Zhu Heqi's original grandson's palace and Zhu Tianwang's third crown prince's womb have long since become downtown.

So Zhu Hexi simply ordered the two palaces built by Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao to be razed, and the land was used for development, and dozens of surrounding buildings were built for rent and not for sale... At the same time, he also ordered people to buy them. After entering the land around Yuexiu Mountain, it took several years to build a "mountain palace".The palace is built according to the mountain, and the palace wall encloses the Yuexiu scenery.

Around Yuexiu Mountain, the Ming court paid for the construction of a left-behind city, which could house the Haijing left-behind department, as well as the yamen residences reserved for some court officials who followed Zhu Hexi in Guangzhou. go in.

"Your Majesty, this is a memorial from Honglu Temple and Military Advisor's Mansion!"

Nalan Xingde, the Minister of Guards, stood outside a pavilion on Yuexiu Mountain, and handed over the two memorial boxes respectfully.
