Chapter 34: Zhu Cihong's Faith

In the eyes of the Western colonial powers, the civilized world is obviously only a few countries that have recognized each other through bloody battles in the colonial struggle. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Africans, Indians in Latin America, Indians in the Indian Peninsula, and even Chinese in recent history, they obviously do not consider themselves to be members of the civilized world.

People who are not civilized are actually inhuman, and they are not even more important to them than a pig. At the very least, a pig can feed their bellies.

In the original history, the Japanese were also not considered to be among the nations of the civilized world. For this, they paid hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of blood, to form an alliance with the British, to start a war with the Russians and to win, and even to participate in the First World War. Relying on countless blood and tears, the Japanese finally gained the qualification to stand at the same negotiating table as the Western powers, and were barely regarded as a member of the civilized world.

As for those who are not considered part of the civilized world, more often than not, they have only one identity: prey. Prey that has been chased and hunted by countless civilized world nations.

In this day and age, it is clear that the law of the jungle is also prevalent. However, the Western colonizers wandering along the southeast coast obviously did not have enough strength to attack the empire.

And in the same way, from a purely civilized perspective, the Ming Dynasty at this moment is obviously worthy of the title of civilized world.

Not only the health business is prosperous such a standard of living, but also ideologically, in the same way. Just as Western learning gradually led to the arrival of missionaries in the late Ming Dynasty, many people in the Ming Dynasty studied Western doctrines. After the missionaries returned to Europe, they also transmitted Chinese ideology and culture back to the West.

In the face of Song and Ming theory, although the missionaries tried to combine Chinese ideology and culture with the religious control of Christianity, there were still persistent ones, including Long Huamin, who regarded Confucian philosophy as atheism.

For this reason, the Church of Rome sternly declared Chinese Confucianism heresy.

The ban on the Roman Church did not extinguish the development of Confucianism in China, but became the most warmly welcomed idea among European Enlightenment thinkers, and became a powerful weapon for them to attack theology and oppose the church.

Thus, in the decades before and after the eighteenth century, there was a particularly powerful Oriental fever in the West.

As far back as 1646, Western enthusiasm for China continues unabated. Don't forget, the earliest beginning of the Age of Discovery was the rich East.

Marco Polo's depiction of China's gold has aroused the enthusiasm of generations of adventurers to the East.

Initially they arrived in the Americas, then the Dutch discovered the Spice Islands, and eventually, the Grape people settled in Macao, and finally gained the opportunity to trade with China.

According to the original history, the Southern Ming Dynasty had been struggling under the iron hooves of Jiannu, and the scene of the end of the empire completely lost the oriental impression of rich civilization.

But now, everything is different. The legendary impression of the prosperity of the Ming civilization was not only not crushed by the gap in reality, but was even more admirable.

The civilization and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is far beyond that of other countries, and the basic conditions of health care are even more dazzling, and under the supervision of His Majesty the Emperor, it is even more on the next level.

In particular, the capital residence of Jingshi has changed the most. Previously, His Majesty the Emperor had only lived in Beijing for a long time, and he stayed in the palace, so naturally someone had to properly clean up the situation in the palace. But later, after the war, he lived in Beijing for a long time, and often went out of the palace, how could he endure poor hygiene?

In addition, the plague swept through the capital division before, and the lesson was profound, so this move was vigorous and resolute. Every time the patrol police stand guard in addition to dealing with the traitors, they also have to take care of those who defecate in the open, catch one, teach the light one a fine, and report to the Changping Quarry if the heavy one is heavy.

In recent years, the demand for housing construction in Beijing was extremely huge, and several labor reform teams in the police system also seized the business opportunities. Naturally, once you are arrested and sent to labor camp, there will be no good fruit to eat.

Such a decisive means and the municipal sanitation team established during the rectification of the plague period finally made the meteorology of Beijing a new one.

As for the later renovation of the sewers, listening to the ears of Zong Yicheng and Abe Tadaaki, they were like listening to the book of the world.

It's not that they don't understand, but they feel that being able to do such things is really a paradise, and it's like a means of heavenly immortals.

They only have to think about the huge amount of money needed and the obstacles in the management at the grassroots level, and their heads are so big that they don't want to think about it at all.

But Ming not only thought about it, but also did it, and this kind of ability made the two of them understand the respectability of this empire from another angle.

"What if...... What kind of terrifying existence would it be if they transformed such a force into a mobilization capacity for war? "Abe Tadaaki is not only an official, but also a famous minister with a politician's pattern and vision. He quickly thought about the problem, and it quickly occurred to him that this was indeed something that had existed.

"Please lead the inferior people to visit the Xianjie Hall!" Abe Tadaaki thought seriously.

It's been a long time since the Victory Ceremony, but the loot inside has not been closed because of the end of the Victory Ceremony. Instead, the existence of a military museum called the Ming Empire was re-hung on the plaque, and the documents and archives of the previous battles of the Ming Dynasty were added, and the trophies were exhibited.

Inside, Abe Tadaaki not only saw the spoils of the war against Qing everywhere, but also saw a new guy.

It was a huge group of sculptures.

Outside Fushun Pass, a war that would determine the future of the empire was vividly portrayed. The purging of the queue, the excellent armament, the strong and numerous enemies, the unbeatable conscious victory in the grasp of the Jiannuli Prince Daishan.

Abe Tadaaki watched all this in amazement, and watched it stupidly for nearly a quarter of an hour before he walked out of the military museum.

"Your Excellency, where are we going next?" Abe Tadaaki had gradually understood what His Majesty the Emperor meant.

Because of the sparse exchanges between the two countries, the Japanese people's impression of the Ming Dynasty is still stuck in the past, and it is also spread in exaggerated and unrealistic, or extremely black or extremely pink.

As a result, there is a great deal of ambiguity between China and Japan in their understanding of each other.

On this basis, Zhu Cihong may have some convenience because of the understanding of later generations, but the Japanese people's understanding of the Ming Dynasty is too lacking.

In this way, His Majesty the Emperor did not eagerly make a statement, which was a move by Lao Cheng to seek the country.

Obviously, His Majesty the Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong has enough confidence in the re-strengthening of the Ming Dynasty. He believed that after Abe Tadaaki saw a real Ming Dynasty, he would understand the position that Japan should have in the Ming Dynasty, and he would also truly understand the path that should be chosen between China and Japan.
