My Daming New Empire

Page 911

Many things that Daming people have taken for granted are full of magic in his eyes.

For example, electricity, such as loudspeakers, such as bicycles, etc...

And the radio, which seems to be relatively rare in Daming, made him feel even more amazing.

In the East, although there is no God, the people of Ming Dynasty are even more miraculous than God.

In fact, not only him, but all the representatives from Europa have already been fascinated by the bustling Yingtian Mansion.

After a beautiful piece of music was played, there was another voice from the radio. This was a short advertisement.Louis XI did not let Tongshi continue to translate, turned his head, and looked at Zhang Han who was sitting in front of the desk reading a book.

"Zhang, is the Ministry of Industry of your country too conservative? I can understand that gun manufacturing is not exported to Europa, but why are shipbuilding, bicycles, and automobile technology not exported to Europa? My France is very sincerely willing Become an ally of the Ming Empire!"

Zhang Han in front of the desk raised his head, glanced at Louis XI and said, "Because there is only one voice in this empire, anyone who wants to make any decision must get His Majesty's consent."

"Then how do you ensure that His Majesty's decision is always correct?"

"You must remember this sentence and never say it again... Your Majesty is always right, even if it is wrong, it is still right." Zhang Han stared into his eyes and said: "The superiority of the political system of the Ming Empire is that you cannot Understood. Honorable ministers, they will all be subject to layers of restrictions. No one can control everything like the ministers of Europa. There can only be one person, and that is His Majesty. And all decisions made by His Majesty are not rash The decision made will be discussed by ministers at all levels before making a decision that is beneficial to most people.

Therefore, if Europa wants to learn from Daming, he cannot learn from Ming by buying a few machines, but must first learn from the political system.

However, you don’t have thousands of years of cultural accumulation like ours, and you don’t have an academic sect like Shinrikyo that can change the world. If you want to learn from Daming, besides sorting out your own political structure, the first thing you need to do is to overthrow the church’s oppression and domination. "

Louis XI nodded and said: "I also think that the church must be overthrown, but the first thing to do is to strengthen your own strength in order to resist the church's counterattack."

"So, it will be an important opportunity for you to meet His Majesty tomorrow. If you can get his support, France can break free from the oppression of the church and move closer to civilization."

royal palace.Fengtian Temple.

In the 20th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the parliament building was built, and the prime minister's office was built in the [-]th year of Zhengtong, after the Ministry of National Defense.The Ming Dynasty Council turned to the self-determination of the ministries, and the three halls became the honorary halls, mainly responsible for some ceremonial activities.

Fengtian Temple is now almost only open for the Wanshou Festival and the four major festivals every year.Only Jinshen Hall is still responsible for Zhu Zhanji's daily discussions and meeting guests.

But today, the gate of Fengtian Hall was opened, and officials from Jinyiwei, Honglu Temple, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stood in Chinese attire.

In the middle of Fengtian Temple Square, 300 people from Europa, led by their respective officials, formed a neat square formation in the middle of the square.

In Fengtian Hall, officials of the third rank and above stood on both sides of the second platform, leaving a red carpet in the middle.

Over the years, although Fengtian Hall has lost its function of discussing affairs, it has not been abandoned, and it will be strictly repaired and painted every year.

Not only that, but there is also a set of sound amplification equipment and dozens of electric lights installed inside. When it is open, the lights inside will be illuminated brightly.

A palace band composed of more than 300 people is now playing majestic music. This kind of music also makes these Europeans in the square feel extremely nervous.

Although there were 300 people who could enter the hall in turn, only [-] of them could be summoned by Zhu Zhanji for an interview.

At this moment, they are being explained the etiquette of meeting with officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Honglu Temple.

This tense atmosphere is intentional, the purpose is to make people feel intimidated when they meet the Ming Emperor for the first time.

A voice suddenly came out of dozens of tweeters, and everyone familiar with it knew that it was the voice of Foreign Minister Ma Sui.

"Declaration to the King of France, the King of Portugal, the Consul of Florence, the King of Hungary, and the King of Norway..."

Not many kings came to Daming in person this time, and many kings dared not leave their country at all.

Needless to say, France, Portugal has always wanted to develop maritime trade, this time I took the opportunity to meet Zhu Zhanji, and wanted to meet him in person and be able to convince him.

The consul of Florence is the Medici family, and they are also Daming's most loyal henchmen in Europe, so of course they will come here in person.

The King of Hungary has always claimed to be an oriental, and this time he also wants to take the opportunity to go back to the East.

And Norway has been threatened by the Nordic power Sweden, and life has been difficult these years, so they want to take advantage of Daming.

Whether it is the king, the grand duke, or the earl, as long as they come in person, they all have their own demands.

These kings were the first to enter the hall, facing a solemn and majestic scene, they walked carefully along the red carpet, the entourage was about to stop on the third floor, and they could go up to the second floor .

When they came to the second floor below the dragon chair, several kings knelt down and met Zhu Zhanji with the etiquette of Ming Dynasty.

Because they had to kneel down, this was also the main reason why many kings refused to come to Daming in person.Many kings offered to kneel on one knee, but kneeling on both knees was unacceptable, but at this time, the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ignored them at all.

A leader who is willing to come and kneel down personally means that he has completely surrendered, and Daming will naturally look at him differently and increase his support.

As for other countries, there will be times when they regret it.

Because it is an independent kingdom, these kings had the opportunity to speak with Zhu Zhanji alone after bowing down, and then stood side by side on both sides of the hall, so that they could watch the process behind.

After them, came the representatives of the independent kingdom, then the grand duchy, the city-state, and finally the earldom.

These forces basically represent the vast majority of forces in Europe, even Poland, Lithuania and other countries that had wars with Ming Dynasty have also sent representatives.

In the morning, Zhu Zhanji met with everyone at once, and then read out Daming's foreign strategy.

What made everyone confused was that in this majestic hall, there were actually a group of people holding flashing machines and flashing lights at all of them.

Most people didn't know what it was, and they were caught off guard and tears flowed from the stimulation.

At noon, a banquet was given in the Hall of Martial Arts. Everyone was arranged at different tables according to different levels, and enjoyed a royal meal.

Then, most of the people will leave the palace, leaving only a few who Zhu Zhanji will meet alone in the afternoon.In the next few days, Zhu Zhanji will take turns to meet them.

And Louis XI of France was the first king that Zhu Zhanji specially arranged to meet.

Before seeing him, Zhu Zhanji thought that the savage Louis XI was a mean-looking guy, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he found that the 43-year-old looked like a scholar, and he couldn't see the tyranny of his personality at all. .

Zhu Zhanji met him in Jinshen Hall, and took the initiative to step down from the high platform and accepted his surrender.

And the people who waited on the side, of course, had to record this moment with their cameras.

Not only that, all the representatives of all countries were photographed when they kowtowed in the morning.

These photos will become the most precious historical memory in the future.

After performing the etiquette, Zhu Zhanji returned to the dragon chair and started a dialogue with Louis XI.

After some courtesy greetings, Louis XI proposed to Zhu Zhanji that he wanted France to fully learn the development path of Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Zhu Zhanji did not express any objection, but he had the same opinion as Zhang Han. He believed that France should not only learn from the industry and agriculture, but also learn from the whole social system.

In France today, the great lord has absolute power in the fief, and even the king cannot interfere.

Moreover, in France, the nobility will always be the nobility, and the serf will always be the serf.The upward passage of common people is blocked, and a common man can only be a knight in his life.
