“…… Since the Industrial Revolution, the Westerners have risen to prominence in Europe and become a strong country. England, France, Prussia, Austria, Russia, and the United States of America in the New World were all first-class powers. Politics is based on the country, strengthening the army and enriching the people, and sparing no effort for external expansion. All science, economy, industry, and military are far superior to the traditional countries of the East. The Westerners are fierce by nature, and the European continent has fought for thousands of years, and the weak eat the strong, and those who still dominate one side are all good at winning with soldiers, and they are also working on the strategy of surrendering people without fighting, which is by no means comparable to the gentle and elegant gentleman's country in the East.
After the Napoleonic Wars, the European continent was a little quieter, and the Western powers turned to the East, and the Sino-British War was actually the first battle of the Westerners in East Asia. After the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and those in East Asia such as Japan, Vietnam, and Korea, the territorial people were far inferior to the Qing Dynasty.
To rise up and strive to be strong, we must follow the example of the West, learn from the long skills of the West, guard the foundation of the nation, and gradually move forward in the way of the country's roots. The reason for this is that the Western country is treacherous and resourceful, and it is especially good at using the method of governing the land with the soil, and learning from its strengths, just like conspiring with the tiger, and if it is careless, it will invade the interior, collude with the subordinate, and provoke trouble, and the disaster of India's destruction will not be far away.
Therefore, to learn from the West, there must be priorities, not overnight. The way to get up. When the strong army is the first, the country of the Western powers. All of them are headed by military affairs, and all of them have elite soldiers. Day and night exercises, strong in the strong, fine in the sharp, the country of the East, if there is no elite soldiers to protect the foundation of the country, suddenly open the country, so that the Westerners can explore the truth and reality, then the day of the death of the country is not far away.
After the strong army, it should be Annei. Western powers, all of which are unified by government decrees, there is no country within a country, and the heroes are divided. The decline of the Ottoman Empire and the fall of the Indian Empire caused the princes and warlords to collude with the West to cause chaos. The country of the East should be taken as a warning, and the country should be settled first and then opened to be safe.
The country was opened and closed. It's really a shame, it's not a self-closing door, and it's not a good relationship. The law of locking up the country is to make Yidi not know the truth and the truth. Make it difficult for the unsubordinate to communicate with foreign enemies, so as to protect the peace of the country. However, the countries of the East, those who practice the law of locking the country. I forgot the original intention, and only knew how to blindly block the border. Shut yourself off and ignore Shijie's upheaval. It is really impossible to sit back and wait for the way of destruction. Therefore, the founding of the country is inevitable, but the way to open the country cannot be achieved overnight, but must be gradual. Those who govern a country should take the lead, open their eyes to observe shijie, send envoys to inspect the countries, explore their skills, know their reality and choose their merits and learn from them. Strengthen the military first, then settle the country, and then the economy, education, industry, and science, and advance in an orderly manner, and the country will always be strong and ......"
What Luo Xiangmei read out in a soft voice is Zhu Jishi's "Theory of the Founding of the First Army".
It has been more than a year since he came to the East, and Zhu Jishi's level of classical Chinese has finally improved a lot, and the articles he wrote are not without literary brilliance in the eyes of "great Confucians" such as Zuo Zongtang and Zhu Jianyu. However, in addition to the fact that the literary style is slightly inferior, the viewpoint of the article is extremely incisive, and it can be said that every Oriental politician who reads it has a feeling that his eyes are shining -- although this "Theory on the Founding of the First Army" does not have many words, it is enough to become a guiding document for the "reform and opening up" of the backward countries in the East! As a result, in the years that followed, the text was widely circulated in the Orient, especially in Japan, to the point where everyone could memorize it backwards. And the name of Zhu Jishi is also louder, and he is also regarded as the name of "saint", which is almost comparable to Confucius and Mencius.
"Well, Xianggong, what you are doing now seems to be completely different from what you said in "The Founding of the First Army"?" Luo Xiangmei looked at her husband with some puzzlement.
Zhu Jishi is holding a chubby little doll in his arms and teasing, it is Luo Xiangmei's second son born to him, named Zhu Guoxiong, the eldest son of the Zhu family. Not long after the little one was born, he was sleeping with his eyes closed, ignoring his saint father.
And this "country" character generation is Zhu Jishi's new continuation, according to the genealogy he made up for himself, his father Zhu Xiansheng is the "first" character of Zhu Di's lineage. According to the generations designated by Zhu Yuanzhang for his children and grandchildren, they belong to the nineteenth generation, and Zhu Jishi is the "You" generation of the twentieth generation. In order to make himself more like a descendant of Zhu Ming, Zhu Jishi claimed that "Jishi" was a trade name, and his big name was "Youyong". Of course, such a name does not conform to the rules of the Zhu Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Jishi's ancestors lived in Nanyang, and it is not surprising that he does not know that set of rules. And this "You" generation is already the Zuihou generation of generations formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang for Zhu Di's descendants, although there are new generations after Zhu Ming, who has been exiled from all sides, but Zhu Jishi seems to be the master of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally wants to carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and will not use the generations set by these down-and-out kings and grandchildren.
By the way, during this time, many people who claimed to be Zhu Ming's descendants came to Hong Kong to take refuge, and Zhu Jishi did not argue whether it was true or not, and included them one by one. Anyway, it's still time to rebel, and of course the more people, the better.
"Shaoyan, what do you think?" Zhu Jishi looked back at a young man in the room who was dressed in green clothes, with a bun on his head, dressed as a Ming Dynasty scribe, but his skin was as dark as Obama's, and his cheekbones were towering, and asked with a smile.
This person's name is Zhu Mo, the word is less, he was originally a maritime merchant in the Nanyang area, born in Batavia, claiming to be the eldest son of Zhu Youlang, the eldest son of the Yongli Emperor Zhu Cijiao, fled from Guangdong to Japan in 1646, and then went to Nanyang, and died in the Nanyang Chinese massacre launched by Spain in 1662, and the only youngest son in the family lived alone - that is, like Zhu Jishi, there is not much evidence to prove that he is Zhu Ming.
However, this "Zhu Ming Queen" had some talents, not only could he speak a bunch of Confucian truths, but also knew English, Dutch, and Japanese, and often traveled back and forth between the Ryukyu and Nanyang routes, so he was sent by Zhu Jishi to Japan.
"The Theory of the Founding of the First Army is really a prudent and gradual policy, but Ming Gong has long been familiar with Western feelings, so there is no need to implement it in this way." Zhu Mo said as he pondered his words.
"Well, this statement is not bad, in fact, after I, Zhu Ming, originally came from the West, and it can be regarded as part of the eastward expansion of the West, right?" Zhu Jishi looked at him and said, "You might as well make it clear to the people of the Tokugawa family that although I have common interests with the Westerners, we also have differences, and I don't want all the eastern countries to fall." In the future, after regaining sight, we hope to form a brotherly state with Japan and jointly conquer Xiyi. ”
"My subordinates understood." Zhu Mo bowed and said.
"But Xianggong, your masterpiece will be passed on to the world sooner or later, if it is known to the Westerners and the Manchus, I'm afraid it will ......" Luo Xiangmei frowned slightly, as if worried.
"What are you afraid of?" Zhu Jishi waved his hand and smiled, "The so-called little ghost is sad, and the king of Hades is good." The people I have befriended are all the Hades of the West, not the imps they put in the East. Like Albert, the Victorians were not very clear about the Far East, and were not in a hurry to turn China, Japan, Korea, and other countries into British colonies. On the contrary, those little devils of the Westerners in the Far East are gearing up one by one, and they are eager to immediately launch a war of aggression. Fortunately, these little ghosts can't help me, a person who has a deep friendship with Hades.
As for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, without this article, they would definitely be strong first, but they must be strong in the Eight Banners Army. And the stronger the Eight Banners, the more centrifugal the Han people will inevitably become, which is beneficial to me, because the Manchu world does not rely on the Eight Banners at all, but the Han people! ”
"I see." Luo Xiangmei thought about it for a while, and felt that what her husband said was reasonable, so she smiled, "It's just that the light is confused, and I don't know that I am walking on the road of self-destruction." ”
Zhu Jishi smiled slightly, then turned back to Zhu Mo and said, "Shaoyan, what do you think of the Japanese people?" ”
"Cruel by nature, deceitful and wise, although it is located in the corner of the island, but it despises China, if its country is strong, it will go west to the mainland, and it will be a disaster for China."
Zhu Jishi nodded and asked with a smile: "How are you going to treat the Japanese?" ”
Zhu Mo smiled and said, "The subordinates are ready to bully them with sincerity, so that the Japanese people will go down the road designed by Ming Gong." ”
Luo Xiangmei interjected: "Is it the route of "The Founding of the First Army"? I think this is a good way, but is there some trap? ”
"There are no traps." Zhu Jishi said, "Deceiving people with sincerity is just a conspiracy." If the Japanese follow the "Theory on the Founding of the First Army" slowly, it will not be a good thing for them, and people of insight in Japan will see this. (To be continued......)
