Xia Nan looked at the door, and before the few people he summoned came, he said to Lin Weiye: "Actually, I can guess, and at the same time, I can understand that you have such a question." Since they haven't come yet, I'll talk to you for a few words and exchange views. ”

Lin Weiye waved his hand: "Listen up." ”

"You are right that there is an irresistible tendency for a new social system to replace the old one. However, middle school politics tells us that the economic base determines the superstructure, and when the level of productive forces has not developed to a certain extent, the advanced political system and social system may not be applicable. Wang Mang is a typical example, his reform system, whether it is the reform of the currency system, the abolition of slavery, the implementation of vernier calipers, or the state-owned land, salt and iron monopoly, are very good measures, but they are too advanced, violate the laws of the economy, and fail in a short period of time......"

Lin Weiye smiled: "Although I am a science and engineering major, I have not been ignorant to this point, and the system that is too advanced is really not good." But I didn't let you learn from Wang Mang, who let you achieve communism in the 17th century? All of them show that there was a germ of capitalism at the end, and it was later strangled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the direct transition from feudal society to capitalist society is not a skipping grade, right? ”

"The ideal is plump, the reality is skinny. Later generations have different views on this embryonic theory, but I personally agree with one statement: the so-called germ of capitalism is nothing more than a mode of production with a capitalist character. It is an economic phenomenon that is stripped of its historical context and strengthened as if capitalist society were at hand. But what kind of path does it need to go through from germination to society? Referring to the experience of the West, there will be a series of changes in the cultural and social fields, such as the Reformation, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, the world market, etc., in order to form a bourgeoisie, and gradually build a capitalist society through political participation. But this process is impossible to complete in traditional Chinese society. It is not the specific dynasty that kills the sprout, but the paradigm of traditional society itself......"

Lin Weiye was a little surprised: "I thought you were a businessman covered in copper stench, but you are obviously not as superficial and utilitarian as I imagined, and your thoughts are quite profound...... However, if you think that the Manchu replacement of the Ming Dynasty did not interrupt the course of capitalism, why bother to prevent the Manchus from entering the customs? ”

"Quite simply, although the Ming Dynasty could not get rid of the ills of the feudal imperial society, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a darker dynasty. In order to maintain the rule of a large empire dominated by ethnic minorities over the Han Chinese, the Manchus developed the feudal centralized system to its peak, and the suppression of civilization and science and technology also reached a perverted level, and the gap between China and the West became wider and wider, which led to the Opium War, the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the burning of the Old Summer Palace. If another Han dynasty is changed, there is a high probability that it will not develop like this. Therefore, avoiding the Manchu Qing Dynasty from entering the Central Plains is my greatest historical mission in this time and space. ”

"Uh...... Well, I'll admit that you have a point, and I personally don't want to have a pigtail-like braid and call yourself a servant to the Manchu aristocracy. ”

Xia Nan smiled, "Back to the original topic." The reason why the prince was supported, rather than completely breaking the existing order and rebuilding, in addition to the theory mentioned above, there are also practical considerations: although the capital was taken, internal and external troubles still existed, Li Zicheng died, and Zhang Xianzhong and others, the existence of the Liukou was a huge damage to the entire Northwest and even the Central Plains; The gentry in Jiangnan are still lying on this empire and sucking blood, don't expect them to take the initiative to pay a penny of taxes to the imperial court to enrich the treasury; The Emperor Taiji in the north is eyeing the tiger and may go south at any time...... In such an environment, it is the most reasonable choice to make use of the existing ruling institutions to gather resources in a short period of time to eradicate internal and external troubles, rather than adding new internal strife and exhausting national strength. I'm a realist, as long as I can control power, I don't care about fame, even if I make this ancient country strong again in the name of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Lin Weiye was silent for a moment and said, "What you said is right. However, your army and subordinates will rally around you only to make you emperor, and if you don't take the throne, they may not agree to ......"

"This is not a conflict, when the situation is stable, when the time is ripe, it is a matter of course to be the emperor. Cao Cao I was a hero, and it was only in his son's generation that he became emperor. ”

Lin Weiye was about to say something, but at this time, there was a sound of talking outside the door, and he closed his mouth.

The door was pushed open, and Sima De walked in the front and reported: "General, they are all here." ”

"All here? Come in and discuss how to deal with this mess in the capital. ”

Everyone rushed in, Huang Hansheng walked in the front, Wei Lianheng and Su Thick followed behind, and then Yang Youji, Huang Mengjia and others.

At dawn, the Wen Mansion Study became the temporary headquarters of the Qiong Navy.

"Tian Jianxiu died? More than 3,000 were killed, more than 2,000 were captured, and the rest fled? Xia Nan nodded again and again, giving a thumbs up to Su's thick legs, "Good job." The First Army and the Second Army worked together, and although the battle ended earlier than you, they failed to kill Hao Shaoqi and let him escape in the chaos. ”

Su Thick Legs laughed and said, "It's just that the subordinates are lucky." ”

Xia Nan said to everyone: "Guan Ningjun and Liu Zongmin had a big battle in front of Desheng Gate, but they also failed to leave Liu Zongmin's head, which is estimated to be related to Wu Sangui's eagerness to enter the city. In addition to Li Zicheng, Gao Yigong, and Tian Jianxiu, there should also be Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi, Li Guo and others. The immediate task is to close the city and wipe out these leaders and the routs scattered throughout the capital. ”

Huang Hansheng asked: "Will you take advantage of the chaos to escape from the capital?" ”

"It's unlikely." Xia Nan analyzed, "We entered the capital from north to south, and the army from the east, west, and north gathered in three directions, and they had no other way but to flee south after their defeat. Zhengyangmen, as the only way out of the inner city and the outer city at that time, was first controlled by Princess Kunxing with the Shenji Battalion, and after Li Zicheng's death, he was taken over by our army, this point was strangled to death, and at best there were a handful of remnants around them, and there was no way to rush through the defense line of Zhengyangmen. Therefore, the greatest possibility is that they are hiding in a corner of the inner city, and as long as they are carefully checked, they will definitely be caught. ”

Sima De coughed a few times and asked him the question he was most concerned about: "General, the overall situation has been decided, and it is only a matter of time before these thief chieftains are taken." When will we support the crown prince to ascend the throne? ”
