Chapter 657 You guys did such a good job, I believe it!
May 25, the second year of Dagong.
Outside the Yongding Gate of Beijing, the three best actors in the world - Emperor Kangxi Chang Ning, Emperor Genghis Tianyou Khan Burny, and Nalan Mingzhu, a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty and a loyal and martyr of the Ming Dynasty, all stood respectfully, facing the scorching sun in May, allowing the beads of sweat to roll off their three bare foreheads.
Hundreds of civil and military officials from the Ming Dynasty, Taiji, the Outer Mongolian tribe of Kouwai Pass, and the envoys from various countries to the Qing Dynasty who came from Tianjin Prefecture, as well as Catholic missionaries who did not follow when Emperor Kangxi fled. At this moment, they were all waiting quietly outside Yongding Gate under the sun.
And those who can make these people travel far away to bask in the sun outside Yongding Gate despite the summer heat of Beijing are of course the current Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the Confucian saint, who may soon become the maker of Eastern Order.
Of course, the expressions on these people's faces were very different. Of course, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty all looked happy - they were the heroes who drove out the Tartars and recovered the Shenjing!
The three actors had a pious look on their faces, and they could worship God with a big incense on their faces.
The most tangled thing was a group of foreign envoys from Tianjin Prefecture and some missionaries who served the Qing Dynasty - because Emperor Kangxi wanted to obtain the most advanced Western firearm technology to fight the Ming Dynasty, and also wanted to buy high-priced sugar through profiteers from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Spain, so his attitude was quite positive on the issue of exchanges with Western civilizations.
However, Kangxi's opening-up steps did not take too much. He only opened a trading port in Tianjin Prefecture, and allowed envoys from various countries from the East and the West to station in Tianjin Prefecture. Of course, these Western envoys in Tianjin Prefecture were not ambassadors or ministers, but consuls. In the diplomatic system of the 17th century, ambassadors and ministers were generally formal envoys sent by a government.
The consuls are often representatives of a business group or an expatriates. Sometimes they also shoulder the mission of their respective governments, and sometimes they only represent business groups or expatriates, which is a relatively vague existence.
However, Zhu Hetong, who ruled the Ming Dynasty, did not allow such half-official and half-business consuls to exist, nor did he agree to enter the autonomous rule of foreign business groups to do business in the Ming Dynasty. Foreign business groups have "extraterritorial rights" almost a practice outside Europe, and no one thinks it is wrong. But Zhu Hetong just doesn't allow it!
In addition to not allowing extraterritorial legal power and unofficial consuls to exist, Zhu Hezang also banned the spread of Catholicism in the territory of the Ming Dynasty! The reason was the "right to protect the church" and the "ban on Confucianism" that Western countries began to implement in the past two years - "original king". The "original minister"'s set of "original ministers" caused great disgust among the monarchs of European countries after being brought back to Europe by Western missions and merchants, so they ordered the ban on Confucianism.
In the face of the Western ban on Confucianism, Emperor Kangxi did not respond much. However, Zhu Hetian immediately strengthened the ban on Catholicism!
Another thing that worries Westerners in East Asia is that Zhu Hetong firmly refuses to recognize the international order in Southeast Asia and East Asia, and is also ready to resort to force - he did not relax his persecution against Japan because of this Northern Expedition, and still wanted Japan to give up their "Celestial Dynasty" and join the "Celestial Dynasty" of the Ming Dynasty... Japan is a big country with a population of 20 million!
Once Japan is forced to surrender, Zhu Hetian's empire will have a population of 80 million or even 90 million! This will make the Chinese Dynasty surpass that of Europe's Catholic civilization in population and become the second largest civilization circle in the world after India, the largest South Asian power!
What makes these Europeans who know Hua even more worried is that the Huaxia Dynasty still has the full production capacity of white sugar, the most powerful weapon of mass destruction in this era, the important raw material of sugar gunpowder!
Although Europeans can also use brown sugar produced in the Americas to make sugar gunpowder, according to repeated trials by military experts from various European countries, the power of brown sugar gunpowder is about half the power of sugar gunpowder prepared with military white sugar...
Therefore, European countries and the Ottoman Empire have imported military sugar at high prices from the Ming Dynasty in the past two years... This is a killer weapon, no matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it!
Because the Ming Dynasty was stuck with military sugar, none of the governments of Western countries dared to jump out and openly become enemies with the Ming Dynasty. Even Spain, which was threatened by the Ming Dynasty, could only swallow its anger... Otherwise, Spain would not have military sugar, and Louis XIV could get double the military sugar, so the Spanish Kingdom might welcome a king named Bourbon!
Thinking that Zhu Heying was about to win the anti-Qing and restoring Ming War, these foreigners didn't speak, but just turned their eyes far to the south.
I don’t know how long I waited, until the sun had gradually moved to the center, I saw the high-ranking Ming officials following Liu Jinzhong, Wang Shiyuan, Wang Fuchen, Zhao Zhongyi and other Ming officials in Beijing leaving the city dozens of miles to welcome Emperor Zhu and rushed back like a team of breastplate cavalry flying, and shouted to Yongding Gate from afar: “The Lord is here, the Lord is here!”
Not long after they shouted, a red flag appeared on the horizon in the distance, with red flame patterns on it, and a golden sun and moon radiating together - a round sun on the left and a crescent moon on the right, forming a character "Ming". At the same time, there was a "World is the Public" flag with a black background and white character "The World is the Public". Two large flags were swung, and then there was a jumping shiny silver helmet and a spear-up tip erected upwards. At the end, thousands of breastplate cavalry and dozens of high-ranking civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty appeared in sight with Zhu Hejian.
The more than a thousand breastplate cavalry were riding tall "foreign horses" with shiny silver breastplate on their bodies. More than a hundred cavalry were formed into a neat and dense formation, rushing towards them, a piece of silver light shining, as if it was about to penetrate into the hearts of people.
Who said that the Ming Dynasty did not have powerful cavalry? This is clearly the most powerful breastplate cavalry regiment in the East!
Before they could take action, the Qing Dynasty could no longer withstand it...
Burni, Chang Ning and Mingzhu all knew how to use cavalry. When they saw the scene of the galloping of thousands of cavalry, their faces turned a little pale. The Taiji, the Mongolian troops who followed Burnie, also held their breath and just looked at the scene in front of them - the Mongolian cavalry they were proud of, were simply in the sky and underground in front of these cavalry equipped with foreign horses and breastplate and "money ability"...
In a blink of an eye, Zhu and the other two had already arrived in front of Birni, Chang Ning and Mingzhu, and stopped the war horses and looked at the three of them with a smile, as if waiting for them to perform.
The three of them were stunned for a while, and then they knelt together for Emperor Zhu who was riding on the horse. They were still very pious, lying on the ground with their butt sticking out, looking like a slave.
The three of them have lines!
Burni said the lines first, and he said loudly in Chinese: "The king of the small grassland state, Burni, the Khan of the Chahar tribe, bowed to the great emperor. Burni is willing to follow the great emperor to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and expel the barbarians. Long live the great emperor!"
Okay, the Mongolian Khan wants to help the Ming Emperor drive out the barbarians... Genghis Khan must know, maybe he will come back from Changshengtian to settle the score with this unworthy descendant?
Then there was Chang Ning, who also said in Chinese: "The chief of Jianzhou's small country, Aisin Jueluo. Xuanye, was willing to follow the emperor to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and Xuanye was willing to be the king's predecessor..."
OK, the third grandson of Zhu rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Kangxi went to be the vanguard. Isn’t this going to win?
Finally, there was Mingzhu, and he also shouted: "Naran Mingzhu, the granddaughter of Beile Jintaiji, the clan of the Ming Dynasty, was prostrated to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, wishing my emperor a long life and unify the universe as soon as possible..."
The unified universe is here!
After watching the three of them, Zhu and Jin laughed out loud on the spot: "Hahaha, I believe it if it is good, I believe it!"
What does it mean to act well? The three people lying on the ground were all shocked.
Chapter completed!
