Chapter 884 And the Datong Party
Zhao Min from Paris City was not surprised at the "dirty and messy" of Jiangdu City. ¢¢¢£¢£net, because her hometown Paris City is the same as Jiangdu City, but it is not as crowded as Jiangdu. Paris City has only a million people, of which 500,000 are bannermen, living within the tall walls, and 500,000 are banner slaves, most of whom live in commercial ports outside Jiangdu City.
Zhao Min arrived in Jiangdu a few days earlier than Han Xiaozhao (Xiaozhao), and has lived in the welcome hotel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the past few days. She did not stay in the museum with the other seven girls, but instead dressed as a woman and wandered around Jiangdu City. So she had more appearances than Xiaozhao.
The biggest difference between Jiangdu City and Paris City is probably in terms of production. Paris is a typical consumer city. Five hundred thousand bannermen are not engaged in production. Apart from engaging in the officialdom, they are just named in the Eight Banners Barracks and deal with their errands every now and then.
As for the 500,000 flag slaves, they sound like slaves, but in fact they are not the case. They are all slaves working for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and are also responsible for tax cards and customs in various places. They are also responsible for the construction of excellent smoothbore guns and bronze cannons. They are all in charge of the military ranch of the Huangzhuang Banner near Paris. They are really the most fat. In addition to these flag slaves living in the capital Paris, the Shangdu Rouen and the Eastern Krakow, and other metropolises of the Yuan Dynasty, there are also millions of flag slaves living in military industry, construction, official manufacturing, and management of the Huangzhuang Banner.
However, the various handicraft workshops run by flag slaves, regardless of the benefits or the quality of the things they create, just the scale is just a small size.
But in the east of Jiangdu City, adjacent to the slums is a huge and unimaginable industrial area. ▼Factory plants of all sizes are lined up, with chimneys standing in a row, and black smoke is emitting into the air day and night to discharge sewage into the rivers. On several "black water rivers", water trucks are erected everywhere, constantly converting water conservancy into the driving force to drive the machine. There are dozens of carriages and railway tracks inside and outside Jiangdu City. Some are transporting people, some are transporting goods, and all railways are running all day long.
In addition, there are also many docks in Jiangdu that are surprisingly numerous. The docks on the Yangtze River are docked by sea boats, most of which are flying scissors merchant ships with amazing cargo capacity. The docks on the canal docks are canal cargo ships, all full of cargo.
To the west of the canal, there is an urban area that is beyond the reach of the border. It is the boundary of Yangzhou City and is also under the jurisdiction of Jiangdu Prefecture. The two cities are almost combined to form a huge metropolis. Zhao Min learned through the newspaper that the number of residents in the entire Jiangdu Prefecture has now exceeded 60,000! This is really a striking number, equivalent to one-tenth of the population of the Yuan Dynasty.
So many people gathered on such a small land and made a living by prosperous industry and commerce. It is a miracle!
How many people of industrial and commercial have to make a year? Zhao Min read some old newspapers in an open library and found the statistics released by the Daming Iron Industry Chamber of Commerce and the Daming Clothing Chamber of Commerce. Last year, in 108, the Ming Empire produced a total of 280,000 tons of steel and 6.08 million tons of iron, and more than 400 million pieces of various fabrics (including cotton and silk).
These steel and fabrics alone have already made Zhao Min realize the powerful national strength of the Ming Empire! Although her motherland, Dayuan, also known as a population of 600,000, the steel output of Dayuan is not even one percent of that of the Ming Dynasty, and the output of various cloths is less than one-tenth of that of the Ming Dynasty.
What shocked Zhao Min was that there was no official industry and commerce here in the Ming Dynasty. ¢£¢¢£££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££�
As long as they donate a large sum of money to the country (of course, the gentry card is getting more and more expensive), they are the so-called gentry. Holding the votes in hand, they can decide the candidates for local officials and parliamentarians. Local officials and parliamentarians naturally dare not slaughter merchants as fat pigs. The kind of prefect who ruined the family was not available in the Ming Dynasty.
Another thing that shocked Zhao Min was that the newspapers here in the Ming Dynasty dared to criticize the government. Slandering officials was really lawless! And the officials of the Ming Dynasty were really cowardly. They had no choice but to do anything with these illegal newspapers, and they didn't know how to build a literary inquisition. They were so stupid...
Oh, the Ming Dynasty was not completely without literary inquisition. Those articles that exposed various Ming officials in newspapers and attacked the Ming Dynasty's courts that were too stingy or were not able to spend money can be published publicly.
However, there are two types of articles that are taboos, and no legally existing newspapers will be published. These two types of articles are articles that promote the thoughts of the Datong School and the Sacred School. The former is even more taboos. However, even taboos do not mean that there is no place to publish them!
Zhao Min, who was dressed beautifully and was heading to the Daming Palace, was holding a very poorly printed "Datong Newspaper". This newspaper was not published legally, but an illegal publication. I don't know if it was privately printed in the small printing factory in Jiangdu Industrial Zone... This newspaper was sent to her by Zhao Min during a "small private visit" in Jiangdu Industrial Zone the day before yesterday. She was forced to her by a young man wearing a short shirt and a felt hat. She did not ask for money. She just said an inexplicable saying, long live the world revolution and long live the Europa Revolution!
Revolution? What does it mean? Is it to kill someone? What are the world revolution and the Europa revolution?
Zhao Min, who came from the most evil reactionary fortress in the world, was a little unresolved by the new term... and the one who called the "the most evil reactionary fortress in the world" was of course the Datong Party. With the deepening of the capitalist system of 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 class contradictions also increased. As a result, the originally dying Datong Party gradually became active.
The Datong Party, which gradually became active, is not a political party in the Ming Dynasty, but a global party! Its headquarters is not in the Ming Dynasty, but in the New Shenzhou Prefecture in Zhongmingzhou (in the later Panama). It is the overseas territory of the Ming Dynasty. Because it is far away from its homeland, the control is a bit loose, and there are a lot of vassal states where everyone holds guns. Whenever there is any disturbance, the leader of the Datong Party will slip away to those vassal states. The police in the Ming Dynasty's Shenzhou Prefecture cannot be captured at all. Because the vassal states where everyone holds guns are very chaotic, except for the fact that there are some order nearby, no other place is lawless. It is similar to the western United States in later movies. The Sixteen Kingdoms of the North Ming Dynasty have been exposed to this day. It is basically the home of criminals in the Chinese world. They are either caught and exiled or fled to the past... So there are bandits everywhere, gangs and Indians, and armed conflicts are always alive!
The leader of the Datong Party hid in Mingzhou. The Ming Dynasty court was really out of reach. It was this problem. There were too many places that could not be taken care of. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was an empire that implemented local autonomy. Although the central court had strong financial and military power, it was impossible for all regions to act in a unified manner to wipe out political forces like the Datong Party. ▼▼
Not to mention many of the Datong Party’s propositions, such as narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, restricting the use of child labor, implementing national policy discussions (that is, expanding democracy from aristocrats and elites to Chinese people), relieving unemployed people, and encouraging unemployed people to participate in overseas development (that is, the Ming Dynasty court paid to help the unemployed poor people in the Ming Dynasty go to Xinda 6), etc., most of them are in line with the interests of the vassal states in the north and south Mingzhou after a century of development. The total number of Chinese people in dozens of countries in the north and south Mingzhou is only more than 20 million. On average, there are only hundreds of thousands of people in a country, so naturally I hope that the Ming Dynasty court can send more immigrants. Not to mention the poor, they accept all the criminals!
Moreover, the Mingzhou vassal states all have vast land and rich natural resources, and the number of Chinese people is small, so the gap between the rich and the poor is naturally not big. It seems to be the model of the ideal Datong society promoted by the Datong Party...
The vision of the Datong Party, which took Mingzhou as its nest, was naturally internationalized. Looking westward is the increasingly corrupt Ming Empire, and looking eastward is the more stubborn and reactionary Yuan Kingdom. In addition, there is a more reactionary and corrupt Great Britain in India, all of which are the targets of revolution.
Dr. Mao Taihua (Doctor of Law, a lawyer at the Department of Law of New Shenzhou University) who was elected as the leader of the Datong Party five years ago proposed the concepts of "revolution" (from the Tang and Wu Revolution) and "world revolution". He believed that in the future, a Datong Revolution would be born that swept the world. Corrupt dynasties such as the Chen Ming Dynasty, the Chen Ying Dynasty, and the Mongol Yuan Dynasty would be overthrown, and "Datong" would be realized all over the world.
And in the fourth year after Dr. Mao Taihua proposed the view of "world revolution", the vigorous uprising of Jesus Heaven in the Yuan Dynasty was born in the Yuan Dynasty! In the eyes of the people of the Datong Party, this uprising seemed to have kicked off the prelude to the world revolution.
When the carriage Zhao Min was riding in drove into the Daming Palace, the "Jesus Heavenly Revolution" was in full swing.
"Long live Jesus King! Long live! Long live!"
Cheers with accents in Shanxi sounded in the former eastern capital of Krakow. This big city with hundreds of thousands of residents was finally captured by the holy soldiers of Jesus' kingdom of heaven after more than a month of resistance. Now this is the Tianjing city of Jesus' kingdom of heaven!
Tens of thousands of bannermen and flag slaves in Krakow were almost massacred after the city was broken! Only a few young women survived temporarily and became military prostitutes for the holy soldiers of Jesus' heaven. Except for a small number of scholars who died in the Great Yuan Dynasty, all of them became obedient people of the heavenly kingdom. They are now crowded on the streets, welcoming their "liberators" and the army of Jesus Sauronquan came into the city.
Compared with the time in Rotterdam more than half a year ago, the army of Jesus' heaven has grown to a time when their supporters and even themselves have not expected it. After the great victory in the Battle of Rotterdam, Sauron Quan and the twelve apostles, the Qing Kingdom, the Holy Heavenly Kingdom, and the Holy Roman Empire held a meeting to discuss the next development direction.
At that time, no one thought that the army of heaven could quickly possess the strength to sweep the entire empire. Therefore, no one proposed to go west to Paris and completely overthrow the rule of the Yuan Dynasty. The result of the meeting was to take the Great Yuan Sidu Krakow as his target and decided to take Krakow as his nest first. Then he then took Bohemia west, north Hungary in the south, and north Polish plains. Establish a separatist regime close to the sacred Heavenly Dao Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty. At the same time, the silver and salt errats of the Great Yuan Dynasty were cut off and the financial resources of the Great Yuan Dynasty were attacked.
Now, Krakow is in control, and Jesus’ heavenly soldiers are coming all the way, and the number of people continues to expand. Including their families, there are now hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the warriors have exceeded 200,000. It is really a prairie fire!
Although the Yuan Kingdom also had two main forces in Eastern Europe to defend against the Lithuanian camps of the Holy Heavenly Kingdom and the Bulgarian camps of the Qing Dynasty. However, Solonquan, who was sitting in a sedan chair carried by sixty-four holy soldiers, was not worried about these two Yuan soldiers at all.
Because Xu Da of the Qing Dynasty and Ashikaga Yoshiman of the Holy Heavenly Kingdom promised him that the Qing army and the Heavenly Dao Knights would soon attack from the southeastern lines and cooperate with the Jesus Heavenly Warriors to annihilate the main forces of these two Yuan soldiers.
In return, the Holy Heavenly Kingdom will annex Lithuania (not Lithuania in later generations, but a Great Lithuania that includes the three Baltic Kingdoms, part of Polish territory, and part of Ukrainian territory), while the Qing Kingdom will annex Bulgaria and southern Hungary (about Romania in later generations).
Although the requirements of the Holy Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty were not low, Sorenquan and his twelve apostles didn't care at all. Anyway, they were all generous to others... The Great Yuan Kingdom was founded in Europa for only a hundred years, and the Freemasonry has been promoting "anti-Yuan morality" and "anti-Yuan law". Therefore, not many Europeans in the Great Yuan Kingdom regarded Lithuania, Hungary and Bulgaria as part of their motherland. Sorenquan was no exception. It was really the most cost-effective transaction to use these territories to exchange for the support of the Holy Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing Dynasty.
Once the Lithuanian camp and the Bulgarian camp were destroyed, the Yuan Dynasty's military force in Central Europe would only be left with 100,000 troops under the Austrian camp... They were still led by the Holy Roman Empire!
The Holy Roman Empire is also Christian, and it is the European country. Can they still not recognize themselves as the reincarnated king of Jesus? If they can join the Holy Roman Empire to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, why worry about not being able to succeed in the cause of Jesus’ heaven?
