Zhao Min, who is from the city of Paris, did not show much surprise at the "dirty mess" of Jiangdu City. Because her hometown of Paris is the same "dirty and messy" as Jiangdu City, but it is not as crowded as Jiangdu. The city of Paris has a population of only one million, of which 500,000 are banner people, who live within the high city walls, and 500,000 are banner slaves, most of whom live in the commercial ports outside the city capital.

Zhao Min arrived in Jiangdu a few days earlier than Han Xiaozhao (Xiao Zhao), and stayed in the guest house of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the past few days. didn't stay in the hall with the other seven show girls, but walked around the Jiangdu City dressed as a man. So there are more discoveries than Xiao Zhao.

The biggest difference between Jiangdu City and Paris City is probably in production. Paris is a typical consumer-oriented city. The 500,000 banner people are not engaged in production, except for drilling camps in the officialdom, they just put their names in the Eight Banners barracks, and they just need to deal with errands every three or five times.

As for the 500,000 flag slaves, they sound like slaves, but in fact they are not like this, they are all servants who work for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and are also responsible for tax cards and customs in various places, and are also responsible for building sophisticated smoothbore guns and bronze cannons. It's really the fattest fat child. In addition to these banner slaves who lived in the capital Paris, there were also millions of banner slaves living in the Shang capital of Rouen and the eastern capital of Krakow, as well as other metropolises of the Great Yuan Kingdom. They are also responsible for military industry, construction, government-run manufacturing, operation of Huangzhuang Qitian and so on.

However, those various handicraft workshops run by the flag slaves, not to mention the efficiency, and the quality of the things made. The size alone is a small size.

And in the east of Jiangdu City, it is adjacent to the slums. But it is a huge and unimaginable industrial area. Large and small factories are lined up one after another, and chimneys are lined up. Day and night, black smoke is discharged into the air and sewage is discharged into rivers. On several "Heishui rivers", waterwheels are set up everywhere, which do not stop to convert water conservancy into power to drive machines. There are dozens of carriage tracks inside and outside the city, some of which transport people, some of which transport goods, and all of which run non-stop all day long.

In addition, there are surprisingly many wharves in Jiangdu, and the wharves on the Yangtze River are full of sea boats. Most of them are flying scissor merchant ships with an astonishing cargo capacity. The canal wharves are full of cargo ships.

To the west of the canal, there is an urban area that cannot be seen. It is the boundary of Yangzhou City, and it is also under the jurisdiction of Jiangdu Prefecture. The two cities almost joined together to form a huge metropolis. Zhao Min learned through the newspaper that the number of residents in the entire Jiangdu Province has now exceeded 6 million! This is really a staggering number, equivalent to one-tenth of the population of the Great Yuan Kingdom.

So many people gathered on such a small piece of land and lived on thriving industry and commerce. It's a miracle!

So many industrial and commercial people, how many things do they have to make in a year! Zhao Min flipped through some old newspapers in a library open to the public. On it, I found the statistics released by the Daming Iron Chamber of Commerce and the Daming Cloth Chamber of Commerce. Last year, that is, in the 108th year of the Heavenly Dao, the Ming Empire produced a total of 280,000 tons of steel and 6.08 million tons of iron. There are also more than 400 million horses of various fabrics (including cotton and silk).

These steels and fabrics alone had already made Zhao Min aware of the great national power possessed by the Ming Empire! Although her motherland Dayuan also claims to have a population of 60 million, Dayuan's steel output is not even one percent of that of Daming. The output of all kinds of cloth is less than one-tenth of that of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, what shocked Zhao Min was that there was no government-run industry and commerce here in Daming. There are many factories and trading houses in Jiangdu City. Almost all of them are privately owned. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty seem to have no business that they can't touch, even guns and guns. They can all be legally opened and produced. Moreover, the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty don't seem to be afraid of officials!

As long as they donate a large sum of money to the state (the gentry card is of course getting more and more expensive), they are the so-called gentry, and they have the votes in hand to decide the candidates for local officials and councillors. Local officials and parliamentarians naturally did not dare to slaughter businessmen as fat pigs. The kind of prefect and county that broke down the door and destroyed the family did not have it on the side of Daming.

Another thing that shocked Zhao Min was that the newspapers here in Daming dared to criticize the government and slander officials, which was really lawless to the extreme! And the officials of the Ming Dynasty are really stupid, they don't have any way to do anything about these illegal newspapers, and they don't know how to raise a literary prison or something......

Oh, and Da Ming is not completely free of text prison. Those articles in the newspapers that expose all kinds of corruption of Ming officials, and articles that attack the Ming court for spending money indiscriminately or too hard to spend money, can be published publicly.

But there are two types of articles that are taboo and will not be published in newspapers that are legally discovered. These two types of articles are articles that propagate the ideas of the Datong School and the Divine School, and the former is a special taboo. But even if it's taboo, it doesn't mean that there is no place to publish it!

Zhao Min, who was dressed up beautifully and riding in a luxurious carriage, was heading to Daming Palace, but he was holding a very poorly printed "Datong Daily" in his hand. This newspaper is not legally published, but an illegal publication. I don't know if it was privately printed in that small printing factory in Jiangdu Industrial Zone...... This newspaper was given to her by a young man wearing a short shirt and a felt hat during Zhao Min's "private interview with microservices" in Jiangdu Industrial Zone the day before yesterday, and he did not ask for money, but only said an inexplicable sentence -- Long live the world revolution, long live the Europa revolution!

Revolution? What do you mean? Is it to take someone's life? And what about the world revolution and the Europa revolution?

Zhao Min from the world's most evil reactionary fortress, Dayuanguo, didn't quite understand this new term...... And those who call the Great Yuan Kingdom "the most evil reactionary fortress in the world" are, of course, the Datong Party. With the deepening of the capitalist system in the Ming Dynasty, a large number of small peasants in the Ming Dynasty went bankrupt, the gap between the rich and the poor widened, and the class contradictions also increased sharply. As a result, the Datong Party, which was originally dying, gradually became active.

And this gradually active Datong Party is not a domestic political party in the Ming Dynasty, but a worldwide party! The headquarters is not in Daming itself, but in the new Shenzhou Mansion of Zhongming Zhou (later in the territory of Panama). It was the overseas territory of the Ming Dynasty. Because it is far from the mainland, it is somewhat loosely regulated. Surrounded by a large number of vassal states with guns in their hands. As soon as there was any trouble, the leaders of the Datong Party slipped away to those vassal states. The patrol of the Daming Shenzhou Mansion could not be caught at all. Because some of the vassal states where everyone has guns are very chaotic, except for some order near the capital, there is lawlessness everywhere. It's similar to the American West in later movies. The development of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Northern Ming Dynasty to the present day is basically the home of the criminals in the Chinese world, who were either caught and exiled in the past, or fled to the past by themselves...... So it's full of bandits, gangs and Indians, and armed conflicts happen all the time!

The head of the Datong Party is hiding in Mingzhou, and the Ming court is really beyond the reach of the whip - the empire is too big, and this is the problem, and there are too many places that can't be taken care of. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was an empire that practiced local autonomy. Although the central court had strong financial and military power. However, it is impossible for all localities to act in unison to exterminate such political forces as the Datong Party.

Not to mention the many propositions of the Datong Party, such as narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, restricting the use of child labor, implementing the people's government (that is, extending democracy from the aristocracy and the elite to the people), providing relief to the unemployed, and encouraging the unemployed people to participate in overseas development (that is, the Ming court will pay for the unemployed poor people of the Ming Dynasty to go to the New World), and so on, most of them are in line with the interests of those vassal states in the north and south of Mingzhou -- after a hundred years of development, the total number of Chinese people in dozens of countries in the north and south of Mingzhou is only more than 20 million. On average, there are only a few hundred thousand people in a country. Naturally, I hope that the Ming court can send more immigrants over. Not to mention the poor, even the criminals, they will take it all!

Moreover, the Mingzhou Domain has vast land and abundant natural resources, and the number of people in the country is small, so the gap between the rich and the poor is naturally not large. It seems to be a model for the ideal Datong society propagated by the Datong Party......

The vision of the Datong Party, with Mingzhou as its nest, is naturally internationalized. To the west, the decaying Ming Empire is the increasingly decaying Ming Empire, and to the east, the more stubborn and reactionary Great Yuan Kingdom. In addition, there was an even more reactionary and decadent Great Britain in Tianzhu, all of which were the objects of revolution.

And Dr. Mao Taihua, who was elected leader of the Datong Party five years ago (Ph.D. in Law, New China University. The Grand Advocate also put forward the concepts of "revolution" (derived from the Tangwu Revolution) and "world revolution". It is believed that there will be a Datong revolution that will sweep the world in the future. Decadent dynasties such as the Chen Ming Dynasty, the Chen Ying Dynasty, and the Mengyuan Dynasty will be overthrown, and "Datong" will be realized all over the world.

And in the fourth year after Dr. Mao Taihua put forward the idea of "world revolution", there was a vigorous Jesus-Heaven Uprising in Dayuan! In the eyes of the Datong Party, this uprising seemed to have opened the prelude to the world revolution.

When Zhao Min's carriage drove into Daming Palace. The "Jesus' Heavenly Revolution" is in full swing.

"Long live Jesus! Banzai! Hooray! ”

The cheers of Shanxi accents resounded in the city of Krakow, the former eastern capital of the Great Yuan. This large city with hundreds of thousands of inhabitants was finally captured by the holy soldiers of Jesus' heavenly kingdom after more than a month of stubborn resistance. Now this is the heavenly capital of Jesus' kingdom!

Tens of thousands of banner men and banner slaves in Krakow were almost slaughtered after the city was broken! Only a few young women survived for the time being and became military prostitutes for the holy soldiers of Jesus' heavenly kingdom. The European inhabitants of the city, with the exception of a few scholars who died in the Great Yuan, all became obedient citizens of the kingdom of heaven, and are now crowding the streets to welcome their "liberator", the army of Jesus Sauron, into the city.

Compared to when he was in Rotterdam more than half a year ago, Jesus' heavenly army is now so large that even their supporters and even themselves could not have imagined it. After the great victory at the Battle of Rotterdam, Sauron and the Twelve Apostles, as well as representatives of the Great Qing Kingdom, the Holy Heavenly Dao Kingdom, and the Holy Roman Empire, held a meeting to discuss the next direction of development.

At that time, no one could have imagined that the Heavenly Army would soon have the strength to sweep the entire empire. Therefore, no one proposed to go west to Paris and completely overthrow the rule of the Great Yuan Kingdom. The result of the meeting was that Krakow, the western capital of the Great Yuan, was taken as the goal, and it was decided to take Krakow as the nest first. Then it took Bohemia to the west, northern Hungary to the south, and the Polish plain to the north. Establish a separatist regime close to the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom and the Great Qing Kingdom. At the same time, it also cut off the silver and salt profits of the Great Yuan Kingdom, and hit the finances of the Great Yuan Kingdom.

Now, Krakow is in possession, and the number of Jesus soldiers is growing. Including their families, there are now hundreds of thousands, and there are more than 200,000 soldiers.

Although the Great Yuan Kingdom still had two main forces in Eastern Europe - the Lithuanian battalion used to defend against the Divine Heavenly Dao State and the Bulgarian battalion to defend the Great Qing State. But Sauron Quan, who was sitting in a large palanquin carried by sixty-four holy soldiers, was not worried about these two great soldiers at all.

Because Xu Da of the Great Qing Kingdom and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom had assured him that the Qing army and the Heavenly Dao Knights would soon launch an attack from the southeast and southeast to cooperate with the Jesus Heavenly Soldiers to annihilate the two main forces of the Yuan Army.

In return, the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom would annex Lithuania (not a later Little Lithuania, but a Greater Lithuania that would include the three Baltic states, part of Poland, and part of Ukraine), while the Great Qing State would annex Bulgaria and southern Hungary (roughly what would later become Romania).

Although the requirements of the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom and the Great Qing Kingdom were not low, Sauron Quan and his twelve apostles didn't care, they were all generous to others anyway...... The Great Yuan Kingdom has only been established in Europe for a hundred years, and the Freemasons have been propagating "anti-Yuan and reinstatement" and "anti-Yuan and reinstatement", so not many Europeans in the Great Yuan Kingdom regard Lithuania, Hungary and Bulgaria as part of their homeland. Sauron Quan was no exception, exchanging these territories for the support of the Divine Heavenly Dao Kingdom and the Great Qing Kingdom was really the most cost-effective deal.

Once the Lithuanian and Bulgarian battalions were destroyed, the force of the Great Yuan Kingdom in Central Europe was reduced to only 100,000 troops under the command of the Austrian battalion...... They're still being held by the Holy Roman Empire!

And the Holy Roman Empire was also Christian, and it was the country of the Europeans themselves. Can they still deny themselves, the reincarnated King of Jesus? If the Holy Roman Empire can be drawn together to defeat the Great Yuan, why can't this cause of Jesus' kingdom of heaven be successful?

Thinking of this, the smile on Sauron's face became stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud in the sedan chair...... (To be continued.) )
