Napoleon and Otani Hikaru took out the Holy Heavenly Temple in Macau, and walked quickly along a back street alley before turning out and boarding the main road. When they saw cars slowly driving over the street. Now, according to the Western calendar, it was only 1790, but cars had already appeared in Macau, a colonial city of Ming Dynasty located in Europe. However, the old-time transportation means such as camels, horses, carriages, and donkeys have not yet withdrawn, but competed with cars for the not-wide roads in Macau. This advanced transportation means such as automobiles did not show much superiority.

These cars are not all cars, and there are many trucks and buses. The public transportation in Macau is relatively developed, not only buses, but also trams and horse-drawn carriages.

However, he became good friends with Napoleon in this time and space and was also an assistant teacher at the Macau Otani Medical College, Mitsuo Otani, who is the legitimate son of the Otani family hosted by the Eastern Herald of the Tiandaoism in the Japanese Province. His sister Hideo Otani is the saint of the Tiandaoism in the Japanese Province, and his aunt is the current Japanese Province in the Japanese Province, so he is naturally a young master with money.

So when I got on the main road, I waved my hand and stopped a taxi carriage. I also took out a small receipt worth 50 yuan, bought the latest publication of "Daily Current Affairs" from the newsstand on the side of the road, and then got on the carriage with Napoleon Bonaparte, a self-funded student from the Qing Empire.

The Qing Empire, founded by Zhu Sijiu and pushed to the top by Zhu Chongba, has now revealed the fatigue of the old empire like the Ming Empire after more than three hundred years of peace and security.

The difference is that although the Ming Empire is known as "decline", it is still the world's largest industrialized country. Last year's steel output exceeded 80 million tons, and the iron output was close to 150 million tons. This number seems nothing to people in the 21st century later. But at the moment, it is quite amazing, about twice the total steel output of all other countries in the world!

Then "many" steel is naturally transformed into railways and ships spread throughout the country and across several oceans.

Although the Ming Dynasty was trapped in internal class struggle, it was challenged by emerging industrial countries that rose outside, such as the Huaxia Empire (now the second largest industrial country in the world), the United Kingdom of China (the third largest industrial country in the world), the Holy Heavenly Dao Kingdom (the fourth largest industrial country in the world).

In addition, the Kingdom of West Africa (the fifth industrial country in the world), the Kingdom of England (the sixth largest industrial country in the world), the Kingdom of Italy (the seventh industrial country in the world), the Great Britain of Tianzhu (the eighth industrial country in the world), the Sultanate of Mamuluk (the ninth industrial country in the world), the United Kingdom of Nordic (the tenth industrial country in the world) and other countries have also completed or are undergoing industrialization one after another. In the future, it may become a challenger to the hegemony of the Ming Empire!

However, in terms of comprehensive national strength, the Ming Empire, which has 80 million tons of steel and a population of 1.1 billion, undoubtedly has the strength to crush all other countries in the world, not to crush them one by one. Instead, a country crushes the whole world at the same time!

The Qing Dynasty, which once seemed to be competing with the Ming Empire, has really weakened. This country was first blocked by Chen Zongdao, and then self-enclosed. In order to limit the rise of national consciousness in the country, it has been closed down. At the same time, it also strictly restricted the dissemination and application of scientific knowledge.

In contrast, the sacred Heavenly Kingdom of the Qing Dynasty, which was consistent for hundreds of years, although it restricted commerce and capital, attached great importance to scientific research and the use of various new technologies. It also used the rich coal and iron resources in the country to embark on the road of industrialization. After all, they have been fighting against the Ming Empire for more than 300 years, fighting a total of 18 large-scale wars! If they had not known about reform and progress, this country would have long been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.

If we want to compare the Holy Heavenly Dao Kingdom in another time and space, it is probably North Korea. The Holy Heavenly Dao Kingdom is an enlarged version, rich in resources, and retains a certain private ownership system. It has a population of 30 million and a relatively complete industrial system. The Holy Heavenly Dao Kingdom implements the commune system. This was not invented by Kutulun, but inherited from ancient Ross. The noble landlords or states of the Holy Heavenly Dao Kingdom cannot rent the land to individual farmers, but can only rent it to the entire peasant commune. Important industrial departments such as steel, shipbuilding, and weapons are all state-owned, and finance and foreign trade are also monopolized by the state. Private can only invest in light industry and domestic commerce.

Under this system dominated by state-owned economy, the Holy Heavenly Kingdom's steel production capacity now exceeds 2 million tons, and the total railway operating mileage exceeds 20,000 miles. The military industry can also meet the needs of the Tiandao Knights Army (the Navy of the Holy Heavenly Kingdom is relatively weak. It is basically a decoration). It also allows the Holy Heavenly Kingdom to withstand the Ming Dynasty, whose industrial strength is dozens of times stronger than them. Of course, the current army does not have any advanced weapons, tanks and aircraft have not yet been invented, but cannons and machine guns...

The Qing Dynasty was located in the Atlantic Ocean in the west, and the barrier of the sacred Heavenly Kingdom to the east blocked the Ming Dynasty, and the geographical situation was very favorable. The Holy Roman Empire in the south was defeated by Zhu Yunwen, the heir of Zhu Chongba more than 300 years ago, and split into the Kingdom of Italy, Spain (including Portugal), Greece and Serbia. It also lost Corsica and Sardinia, and was no longer able to compete with the Qing Dynasty.

As for the Kingdom of England to the north, it has seemed to be a harmless existence for humans and animals in the past three hundred years.

The four directions are stable and nothing. The Qing Empire can naturally live a comfortable life with a closed door. In three hundred years, the population has grown to nearly 400 million! Looking around the world, it is also the second largest country. As long as the Ming Kingdom in the distance is still stuck by the messy things of the Holy Heavenly Kingdom and Mingzhou, it will not come to Europe. The Qing Dynasty seems to be able to continue to be so leisurely.

But things always develop unexpectedly. Opium, a drug from India, became a headache for the Qing Dynasty about sixty years ago. This medicine, which was originally used to relieve various diseases, became the hobby of the powerful and gentry of the Qing Dynasty. It didn't count the sucking of clouds all day, but also caused a large amount of real money and silver to flow out. It had a great adverse impact on the Qing Dynasty's economy and national defense (many Eight Banners children and new European soldiers also became addicts). Therefore, it also became an addict.

At that time, the Emperor Zhu Shanxuan of the Qing Dynasty appointed European Grand Secretary Montesquieu as the governor of the Balkans (the Balkans were the Banner District, the Governor of Asia Minor, the Governor of Bulgaria, the Romanian Governor and the Eastern Capital remained behind. As usual, they were all bannermen. Therefore, the Balkan Governor has always been Europeans to show the balance between flags and Europeans). He was responsible for banning smoking in Constantinople in the eastern capital, and the Minister of Banner Hai Sheng (after Dawei) presided over the banning smoking ban for Rouen for the Governor of France.

Of course, the smoking ban was very smooth. Hundreds of opium merchants were expelled and arrested in one fell swoop and tens of thousands of boxes of high-quality Indian opium were burned. But no one expected that this smoking ban would lead to a Balkan war!

The reason for the Balkan War was that there were two places where smoking was banned and the objects were different. The smoking ban that occurred in Rouen mainly targeted merchants from the Ming Empire, the United Kingdom of China and the Kingdom of West Africa. The smoking ban that occurred in Constantinople targeted Italian merchants and Arab merchants. Moreover, the latter suffered particularly heavy losses. Not only were large amounts of opium burned, but many merchants were killed. The Qing Dynasty was a little afraid of the Ming Dynasty and the United Kingdom of China, and had never looked at the Italians and Arabs at all.

However, with the secret support of the Ming Empire, the Kingdom of Italy brought the Kingdom of Serbia, the Kingdom of Greece and the Sultanate of Mamruk formed an anti-Qing alliance. Originally, they just wanted to bluff and force the Qing Dynasty to make some concessions. However, the Qing Dynasty refused to give in, which eventually led to the outbreak of the war. The situation after the war was shocking!

The Eight Banners, who had been raising more than 300 years of Eight Banners, were no match for the Mamruks and Italians at critical moments! A coalition of only tens of thousands of people (Italy, Serbia, Greece and Mamruk Sultanate were not prepared to go to war, they were just incited by the Atlantic Governor's Office of the Ming Dynasty to scare people), but after the war started, they defeated hundreds of thousands of Eight Banners (all banner militias from the Balkans and Asia Minor, with very backward combat methods and weapons), and fought all the way to the city of Constantinople.

At the end of his life, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty could only go to Kutulunburg (the new capital of the Holy Heavenly Dao Kingdom) and asked for help from the left envoy of Guangming Chen Jialuo. He invited the 100,000 troops of the Heavenly Dao Knights. Only then did he get rid of the name of the Heavenly Dao Knights in the eastern capital Constantinople. Although they were old-fashioned, they could compete with the army of the Ming Empire, so there was no doubt about their combat effectiveness.

But it is easy to ask God to send God to God!

Because the Qing Dynasty performed extremely poorly in this Balkan war, the Balkans and Asia Minor Eight Banners, which were originally regarded as heavenly soldiers, were actually without combat effectiveness and were defeated by coalition forces that were far fewer than their number. The Qing Dynasty Mediterranean Fleet, which was once able to compete with the Ming Atlantic Fleet Mediterranean Squadron, had no ability to go out to sea and sail for hundreds of years. As soon as the war started, it was wiped out by the navy of the Kingdom of Italy!

In this case, the Holy Heavenly Kingdom naturally salivates the prosperous Qing Dynasty flag-profit area. Since the Zhu Chongba era, the Qing Dynasty has pursued the policy of plundering the European zone and building the flag-profit area. Over the past three hundred years, the Qing Dynasty flag-profit area is of course very good, although there is no industry. However, there are rich farm estates and pastures everywhere, and the various agricultural and animal husbandry products produced (wool, cotton, oil, sugar, wine, various fruits and horses) are the main products exported by the Qing Dynasty to the outside world.

For the Shentiandao Kingdom, which is relatively developed in heavy industry, but agriculture and light industry are relatively backward, and has long lack of export products, and finances have always been difficult, the temptation of the people in the Daqing Banner Banner is really irresistible.

Moreover, the bannermen of the Qing Dynasty have always believed in the sacred sect of Tiandaoism, and the nearly 40 million bannermen living in the bannermen area are all believers of the sacred sect. Therefore, the sacred Heavenly Dao Kingdom is very convenient to annex the sacred sect area of ​​the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, after the end of the Balkan War, the army of the Holy Heavenly Kingdom relied on the Balkans and Asia Minor on the pretext of protecting the sacred believers!

Such measures of course caused the breakdown of the hundreds of years of alliance between the Qing Dynasty and the Holy Heavenly Dao Kingdom. Moreover, the collapse of the Qing Dynasty was also conducive to the annexation of the people of the Qing Dynasty's banner and the eastern territory of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the rulers of the Holy Heavenly Dao Kingdom also began to look forward to the demise of the Qing Empire...

At the same time, the countries that were originally captured in the former prestige of the Qing Dynasty and the powerful land force of the sacred Heavenly Dao Kingdom also saw the opportunity to cut off the Qing Dynasty. Italy, Spain, the Mamuruk Sultanate, Serbia and Greece, as well as the United Kingdom and the Chinese Empire on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, and of course the Ming Empire, all rushed forward to seek benefits from the Qing Dynasty.

The gates of the Qing Dynasty, which had been closed for more than 300 years, opened overnight, and various unequal treaties were imposed on the Qing Dynasty. If the Ming Empire had not adopted the policy of "maintaining the Qing Dynasty" to restrict the sacred Heavenly Dao Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty would have probably destroyed, indeed there would be no eternal enemies in the world!

It can be said that the Qing Dynasty, which had been comfortable for hundreds of years, was almost surrounded by enemies overnight. So it had to start reforming and self-rescue under the guidance of the Atlantic Governor's Office of the Ming Dynasty.

Decades of reform have achieved certain results. A new army of bannermen with more than 100,000 people was established, and many arsenals were established imitated by the Holy Heavenly Dao Kingdom. A "Beiyang Navy" was also created through purchase and self-built.

The Qing Dynasty seemed to have a little cheerful atmosphere. However, another problem that was suppressed by the Zhu Qing Dynasty for three or four hundred years emerged with the reform of the Qing Dynasty.

This question is the nation!

The Qing Empire implemented the "Yuan Rules and Qingsui". Although there were some improvements, the direction of improvement was not to promote ethnic integration, but to implement ethnic segregation.

Moreover, the ethnic segregation method in the Qing Dynasty was very complicated. First of all, the Europeans in the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to enter the Banners without permission. Except for the officials of the Balkan Governor's Office, European officials could not serve as officials in other yamen in the Banners.

Secondly, the bannermen in the Banners and the bannermen in the European area are different. Although they do not have to pay taxes (all construction and expenses in the Banners are responsible for the taxes in the European area), they do not have the banner pay to get, and they have to farm and grazing themselves to engage in production. Moreover, the bannermen in the Banners have very few ways to become officials, and they are actually a group of rich peasants and middle peasants.

There are many ways to become officials in the European zone, especially those in Paris and Vienna. Not only can they become officials in the European zone, but they can also go to the Banners to grab the responsibilities of the Balkans and Asia Minor bannermen! Moreover, all bannermen living in the European zone are not allowed to engage in business (theoretically), so the Qing court would give them flag pay.
