My Daming New Empire

Page 923

Of course everyone understood that what he meant was the gap between heaven and earth.

Zhu Jianzhu said with a smile: "Bachelor Xie is probably exaggerating..."

Xie Yun's eyes swept around the hall, remembering everyone's expressions in his heart.Turning back to Zhu Jianzhu, he smiled and said: "Is it exaggerating? No, I don't think so, because the facts are like this. My lord, then do you think Dongzhou, Nanzhou, and Xizhou can compare with Zhongzhou?" where?"

After asking this sentence, Zhu Jianzhu himself pondered.Regardless of population and military strength, there is indeed a big gap between each region and Central Continent.

The only thing that can be compared with Central Continent is mineral resources.

Of course Xie Yun didn't need Zhu Jianzhu's answer, and said again: "The 5000-year history of my Central Continent has accumulated countless invisible but extremely important rules and traditions. These traditions are inclusive and spread the seeds of the entire China. The world. But don't forget, your foundation is still in Central Continent.

Without me in Central Continent, every place would be as barbaric as Europa, the big cannibal.You have no electricity, no industry, no automobiles, no trains, much less telegraphs, telephones, muskets, or explosives.If you didn't have these things, you would all be fighting Kunlun slaves, big cannibals, and those European whites with big knives and spears. Have you ever fought?

Lord Han, now your Han Palace is the most powerful palace among the vassals, so I want to ask the Lord, how many followers of truth do you have?How many inventions and creations do you have?You left Daming, can you make a repeating gun?Can a lathe be made?Can cars and trains be made?

Not to mention these things, can you manufacture a [-]-ton giant ship without the craftsmen of Daming?Without a large [-]-ton ship, how can you trade with the outside world?Is it by a small sampan? "

Zhu Jianzhu was speechless at what he said, but he said unconvinced: "The soldiers of Xizhou have been fighting all the year round, and they have the morale and bravery that the soldiers of Zhongzhou can't match."

Xie Yun looked at him and said with a smile: "Aren't these soldiers my Ming soldiers? It seems a little inappropriate for the prince to divide them into Zhongzhou soldiers and Xizhou soldiers."

Zhu Jianzhu was a little at a loss for words again, but Jian Yun stood up, walked diagonally across to Han Shanwei and Chang Hanwei, who belonged to the Han Palace but were paid by the court, and asked in front of the two commanders: "Thank you, Commander Envoy, Commander Mao, are you still my Commander of Daming?”

The two commanders didn't dare to slack off, they clasped their fists together and said, "Birth is a Daming man, and death is a Daming ghost!"

"Very good!" Xie Yun smiled with satisfaction, turned around and said, "Whether it is Dongzhou, Xizhou, or Nanzhou, this is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and the people living here are also the people of my Ming Dynasty. The overall prosperity is due to His Majesty's efforts to develop the truth over the past decades, so that the people can live a good life.

I am afraid that some of you who are older also know what Daming was like decades ago?At that time, Daming had difficulty coping with the remnants of the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties on the grassland.It is His Majesty who has developed the flintlock gun, so that my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can still have an advantage in the face of the Mongolian cavalry.

Decades ago, did my Ming Dynasty have a large-scale industry?Even making a gun requires a craftsman to hammer it out with a hammer.

It was His Majesty who made Ma Zhicai invent the lathe, it was His Majesty who still invented bearings, it was His Majesty who made people invent rubber, and it was His Majesty who made my Ming's annual steel production grow from less than [-] tons to tens of millions of tons now.

And the steam engine, without the steam engine, there are so many ships on the sea today, can they travel without the wind?cannot!

Steam engines, electricity, these are the results of His Majesty's painstaking efforts to benefit the people of our Ming Dynasty.Without these, all of us would be cannibals, white people, drinking blood and living the lives of savages. "

Zhu Jianzhu's heart was shocked, he had never carefully considered this aspect of things, and always thought that all this was just a natural change from the development of society to the present.

Although he knows that His Majesty attaches great importance to Shinrikyo today, regards Shinrikyo as the state religion, requires the people to seek truth from facts, and attaches importance to the development of truth, but he does not think it is the emperor's credit.

He said with a smile: "This is the result of the joint efforts of people all over the world..."

"Your Majesty's words are wrong!" Xie Yun didn't give Zhu Jian any face, and said loudly: "Although His Majesty has never let people publicize it, in the past few years, the history of this period has begun to be written in the territory of Daming Central Continent. My Daming Almost all development is driven by His Majesty.

Even Shinrikyo was established by His Majesty.And how did the Truth Sect appear, the prince wouldn't be ignorant, right?There is also Ma Di, the male of the rich country, who truly made one person rich and the world rich.And Concubine Lan, without Your Majesty, could Empress Doumu entrust her with her soul and lead the development of chemical and medical science in Ming Dynasty?

Without Concubine Lan, would Han Palace and Jin Palace be able to withstand the miasma in Xizhou and take root in Xizhou? "

Zhu Jianzhu was speechless after what he had said, when a servant came in and whispered something in his ear.He got up and said with a smile: "Dinner is ready, everyone, please take your seats..."

The banquet prepared by the Palace of the King of Han was very sumptuous. There were many rare and exotic animals in Xizhou, and many wild game were rarely seen in Central Continent.

But Zhu Jianzhu couldn't be satisfied with the food he ate. Seeing Xie Yun dancing well among the crowd and being highly respected, he felt great pressure.

He never thought of rebelling, this world was originally the world of their Zhu family, what kind of rebellion did he make?

He just wanted to let Hanwang Mansion have a certain right of self-reliance in the Xizhou area, so that he, the prince, could be said to be the overlord.

So these years, he has been trying his best to suppress the local government, hoping to make Han Wangfu free from the suppression of the local government.

However, ever since Xie Yun arrived in Xizhou during his trip, he had an ominous premonition.

He originally thought that the current power of the King's Mansion of Han was strong enough, tens of thousands of elite soldiers were invincible in Xizhou, and the major aboriginal tribes were nothing but captive livestock in front of the King's Mansion of Han.

All these are illusions, without the court of Central Continent, Han Palace is nothing.

Thinking of this, he felt that the future was bleak.

At the end of the dinner, the officials of the court system were sent away, but Zhu Jianzhu left behind the officials of the Han Palace.Facing the crowd, he only asked one sentence: "My Han Palace has been developing for 40 years. If there is no support from the imperial court, what else can we honor?"

This was a difficult question to answer, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what King Han meant.

Zhu Jianzhu said again: "Starting tomorrow, we will make a comprehensive statistics on the assets within the sphere of influence of our Han Palace. I want to know how many family properties and foundations our Han Palace has."

Compared with the oppression of the Han Palace, the officials of the court system are extremely happy.

In the past, the local officials were suppressed by the Han Palace, and if they didn't allow anything, the Han Palace wanted to get involved, which caused many officials to be severely constrained in their actions.

But as soon as Xie Yun arrived, the King of Han was speechless and elated.

It's not that the officials of the imperial court didn't do their best. In this era of family rule, the Han Palace is the imperial family, and they, as courtiers, can only try their best to maintain it, not oppose it.

Otherwise, it would not be the fault of Han Palace, but their fault.

They could only bring their own shackles to deal with the Han Palace, which naturally fueled the arrogance of the Han Palace.

But now, they found that Hanwang Mansion was just a paper tiger.

In front of the imperial court, Han Palace can only act within the rules and dare not go beyond the rules.

In particular, the arrival of Bachelor Xie this time also gave them an obvious signal that the imperial court did not do what the Fifty Han Palace did, and intended to solve the problems left over from history.

These officials are not all passers-by, and after realizing the signal from the court, their inner confidence is much stronger.

If it was in the era without radio and wireless telegraphy, the imperial court could not grasp the voices of the lower classes at all, which would break the imperial court's rule.

But now it is different, when they can have a direct dialogue with the imperial court, the influence of Han Palace on them will naturally weaken.

With such a mentality, Xie Yun received much more support when he wanted to carry out investigations and statistics in Xizhou.

The information from all over the place was collected through wireless telegraphy, which allowed Xie Yun to know the front-line information at any time.

And because the Telegraph Bureau is in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Xie Yun immediately learned of the telegrams sent by the King of Han to other princes.

Seeing that Zhu Jianzhu wanted to invite other princes to come to find and open mines together, Xie Yun couldn't help laughing.

This is the advantage of unequal information between the two parties. In Hanwang's view, what he is afraid of is that the court thinks that he is too powerful to deal with him.

But in fact, the emperor didn't intend to deal with the Han Palace alone.The meaning of the emperor is very simple, that is balance.

Balance the government and the opposition, balance the officials and the common people, and also balance the power among the palaces.

Now, Zhu Jianzhu invites other palaces to come to Xizhou to open mines, and wants to rely on the minerals of Xizhou to attract other palaces.

But for Xie Yun, his actions happened to be what the imperial court wanted to do, and now there was no need for the imperial court to act, the Han Palace had already done it first.

Inviting other palaces to come to Xizhou, abandoning part of the benefits, and attracting more palaces to fight against the court, this is a wise approach for the King of Han.
