Chapter five hundred and forty-ninth future
Zhu Yicheng had already made some plans for the enthronement of the crown prince. In fact, Liao Huanzhi and others have been reminding Zhu Yicheng to set the foundation of the country early, but Zhu Yicheng considered that Zhu Bo was too young, and the Ming Dynasty had not yet pacified the world, so this matter was temporarily put on hold.
But now it is different. With the Ming Dynasty taking over the entire Zhili, the troops have reached Shandong, Shanxi, Jiangbei and other places, and even Henan has occupied a lot of territory. It only takes time to open up the north and south. It is a foregone conclusion that the Ming Dynasty has pacified the world, and Zhu Bo is now five years old. This child is healthy, both physiological and intellectual. Considering various factors, the time has come to make him the crown prince.
Furthermore, Zhu Yicheng is preparing to establish a royal school and set the rules for cultivating princes afterwards, so the distinction between the monarch and the subject must be decided first to avoid any trouble in the future.
In addition, the future prince's academic studies are not as simple as the Royal Academy. Zhu Yicheng will implement various systems step by step. In the future, the prince will first enter the Royal Academy to enter the Royal Academy to enter the school year. After a few years, he will directly enter the academy under the Royal Academy of Sciences. After completing these studies, he will also enter the military academy and wait until all the studies are completed. The prince will also be at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and will enter the army to serve. Whether in the navy or the army, the princes must serve in the front-line army for at least three years and receive corresponding honors before they can officially graduate.
If you fail to formally graduate or withdraw from the middle, Zhu Yicheng will not receive any rewards except for inheriting a royal title. In other words, he will become an eliminated group of people, and he will only receive some meager salary every year and have no political future.
Even if you formally graduate and receive a reward, it is not the end but the beginning of another step. Next, these royal children will enter different industries according to their talents and interests. For example, those with strong military capabilities can continue to develop in the army, while those who like to do scientific research can also enter the academy to do research, and those who are good at political affairs can enter relevant departments. In every sentence, each person will show their abilities. The Ming Dynasty will no longer raise waste.
This is not only for ordinary princes, but also for the princes. In fact, throughout history, although the Qing Dynasty was a foreign race, the way the Qing Dynasty cultivated princes was much better than that of each dynasty. From a historical perspective, the Qing Dynasty did not have a foolish monarch, and those princes rarely made mediocre talents. Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty's vision was too shallow after all, and later it only knew that it would not let go of the ancestral system. In addition, the Qing Dynasty ruled the Central Plains with foreign races in its innate shortcomings, so it did not have much effect in the end.
Zhu Yicheng did this not only learned from the lessons of the previous dynasties, but also learned the way of cultivating royal personnel in the Qing Dynasty or Western countries, and then added modern teaching systems and models. Although he did not know whether this method would work in the end, one thing is certain, that is, at least the Ming Dynasty would not produce a foolish monarch who did not know anything and was deceived by court officials.
As for whether some outstanding princes stand out in this way, will it pose a threat to the status of the crown prince? Zhu Yicheng also considered this point, but he was more considering the future of the Ming Dynasty and the overall country. If a crown prince is completely suppressed by his own brothers and even unable to control the other party, then such a crown prince is simply unqualified. In this case, if other princes have the ability to replace him, it is not a bad thing for the country. At least the Ming Dynasty is still the world of Zhu.
Furthermore, Zhu Yicheng would not let the position and power of the crown prince be ignored. He will gradually improve this system next. At present, Zhu Bo is still young. Even if he completes his studies and enters the army, it will be at least ten years later. His younger brothers are not even talking smoothly and are all breastfeeding in the wet nurse's arms. With these ten years of preparation, Zhu Yicheng believes that with his future insight and ability, he can completely solve this problem.
In addition, as Daming is now accelerating its pace of development in the world, especially in North America, the management of overseas territories is also a problem that will be faced in the future. Not to mention the rest, just talk about North America. Zhu Yicheng knew best, so he was alone in the overseas world. One generation and two generations may still have a sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty, but after three generations, will the people in the new territories be the same as their ancestors?
Even if the Chinese are nostalgic for their hometown, they will change over time. Aren’t the banana people in later generations everywhere? Moreover, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably integrate other ethnic groups to explore overseas. Whether it is the local Indians in North America, Europeans, or even people of various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia, a new ethnic group will be produced after the integration of multiple ethnic groups. If it is not controlled, it will be inevitable that it will be eliminated by history.
Although the Ming Dynasty now implements the governor system in North America, that is, Xinming, the land of Xinming, with Pan Mengyuan as the governor of Xinming, and Wang Jingqi is responsible for immigration work. At present, Xinming's immigration work is going very smoothly. With tens of thousands of Ming people continuously crossing the ocean to Xinming, Wanghai City and Sun City in Xinming have entered a rapid development. At the same time, the construction of new cities is also planned. According to the news sent back from Xinming, everything can be said to be extremely smooth.
But in the future, Zhu Yicheng has considered combining the Xinming system with the governor and feudal system. On the one hand, it is to find a way out for the royal children who have made contributions, and on the other hand, it is to use this method to firmly control overseas territory.
However, these are just plans in Zhu Yicheng's mind. He has never mentioned them to anyone. Regarding these, he just secretly made arrangements and was waiting for the right opportunity.
But there is one thing worth considering now, which is not an internal matter of the royal family. After all, Zhu Yicheng's children are still young now, so it is impossible to implement his plan immediately. This matter is nothing else, it is the matter of Ryukyu. The memorial that Zhu Yicheng just read was sent from Ryukyu. The person who wrote the memorial was not someone else, but He Xianzu, the plenipotent minister of Ryukyu.
The major events that happened in Ryukyu some time ago were actually planned by He Xianzu. In this matter, Deng Bingtong of the General Office cooperated strongly and the two sides joined forces to perform a good show.
