Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 667 My Country

A passenger plane produced by the Ming Dynasty landed at Paris Airport, but the operator of this civil aviation passenger plane was not the Ming Dynasty, but the Western Qing Empire.This plane was originally sold to Austria, but Austria was defeated, and its assets became Xiqing's assets.

Now this large airliner, which has just been handed over to Austria for less than two years and is still very new, has been transformed into a special plane for Emperor Qianlong of the Western Qing Dynasty Fei Yanggu.

As the great emperor of the Western Qing Dynasty, Fei Yanggu had no intention of supporting domestic production.He used the best ones. In the past two years, Xiqing also began to develop its own civil aviation industry, but as the war began, the civil aviation aircraft that were originally controlled by the empire were requisitioned again and began to perform military missions.However, the large aircraft produced by Xiqing has many problems, and there have been frequent air accidents in recent years.Moreover, in terms of the purest ride comfort, it is far inferior to the Daming Aircraft that uses a pressurized cabin.

Therefore, Feiyanggu did not hesitate to choose an aircraft produced by the Ming Dynasty as his own special plane, and specifically asked the personnel of the Xiqing Aviation Industry to reverse engineer and imitate the Ming Dynasty aircraft.

The Western Qing Empire had already done a lot of this kind of thing, especially their weapons, many of which were imitated directly from Ming's weapons.Because the things that Daming produces are often excellent mature works from another plane, and this era has certain industrial and technological strength, the difficulty of reverse engineering is much easier than it was at the end of the 21th century and the beginning of the [-]st century, so West Qing still went in the right direction and achieved considerable success.

Feiyanggu was very satisfied when he set foot on this newly conquered land.At this time, the resistance in France was minimal, and there was no effective and powerful organization. Even the Sun King Louis XIV, who was regarded as a national symbol, had left for North America. France was like a little girl who gave up resistance, opening her arms. Arm, let Feiyangushi do it.

Cheng Lin, the commander-in-chief of the Western Qing Dynasty who also stayed in Paris to take charge of the overall situation, came to the airport to greet him in person. The hair of this cold-tempered general was already a little gray at this time, but he was still heroic.

Fei Yanggu also pretended to love Cai Mingjun, supported Cheng Lin's arms, and sighed: "Qing is really the pillar of my Qing Dynasty. This western expedition broke more than ten countries in Europe and Yi. It all depends on Qing's strategizing and winning Qing alone." , Victory over a million troops!"

With such a high evaluation by the emperor, anyone would be very moved, at least crying bitterly is considered light.But Cheng Lin didn't care much about these appearances, he just saluted Fei Yanggu and said: "I can't stand it."

In fact, Fei Yanggu had long been accustomed to Chenglin's characteristics. He laughed loudly and said cheerfully: "How can I not bear it? How can I not bear it! In this world, there may be many generals who are accustomed to fighting, but how to use soldiers like this?" Ghosts and gods, you, Cheng Lin, are the only commander who always wins battles."

Cheng Lin didn't speak, but he wanted to say in his heart, I am afraid that in Daming, at least a few people will not be worse than me.

He will not directly criticize Fei Yanggu's statement. Cheng Lin is a sensible person. Modern wars are completely different from ancient ones.The role played by geniuses or eclectic generals and commanders may be huge, but what really determines the true outcome of a war is the real national strength of the country, including its technological level, manufacturing, social mobilization and organizational capabilities, etc. wait.

It's like even if there are tens of thousands of talented generals in the super league of 100 billion primitive tribes, who use soldiers like gods, they still can't beat modern countries with 2000 to [-] million people who have already industrialized.

Fei Yanggu is full of contradictions. On the one hand, he knows the power of industrial technology, but on the other hand, he stubbornly retains the old semi-feudal thinking of the post-slave era of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.He can accept many very new things, but he is particularly repulsed by other new things.

Taking this braid as an example, Cheng Lin didn't see any need to keep it.Even in the Ming Dynasty, the Boguan'e Belt, which the Han people were willing to sacrifice for, is no longer the mainstream.For convenience and practicality, people have generally accepted short hair and modern clothing.But in the Western Qing Dynasty, even though Fei Yanggu almost abolished Manchurian and promoted Chinese, the policy of keeping hair but not hair has continued to this day.

Nowadays, the streets of Paris are full of temporary hairdressing stalls.Any male who is found without braids will be arrested immediately, ranging from hard labor to shooting.Even if the length of the hair is not enough, the Qing people brought fake braids, because the tail of the money mouse is not long, so it is not difficult to make fake braids, these fake braids are often in front of a hairnet or strap, which can be fixed on the head, the head Just dragging such a braid at the back, and then wearing a hat, it is impossible to tell that the braid is fake.

Naturally, to wear false braids, one must also shave his head, at least the forehead and temples.

To stay alive, the French mostly caved in.Some people resisted and died miserably.A lot of people fled because they were afraid of being abused by the Tatars, or because they didn't want to shave their hair.People are fleeing to the Atlantic coast of western France and the Mediterranean in the south these days.There were also a lot of influxes into Italy, and many people fled to Ming's North African colony in small boats.

The authorities of the Western Qing Dynasty were naturally very dissatisfied with such fugitives. Once caught, they would be executed, regardless of gender, age or child.Therefore, this extreme measure still scares some people from escaping easily.

After all, Xiqing also needs manpower and economy, so even if the government takes over France, Fei Yangcourt will not make it a completely uninhabited land.

More than 20 years after moving westward, the Western Qing Dynasty is no longer a simple nation-state.Through the Eight Banners system transformed by Wen He, the real rulers of the Western Qing Dynasty were the Eight Banners, a very unique military and economic privileged class.Most of them are not even Manchurians. Real Manchuria has only a few hundred thousand people today, far from its heyday before the Liberation War.But these blond and blue-eyed Eight Banners are very keen on the power brought by this group of Orientals. Many of the Slavs, Poles, and Kazakhs in the Eight Banners were just minor nobles, military officers, or businessmen with no background. In the interest group of the Eight Banners, they have gained a higher status, more resources and wealth, so they are naturally the defenders of this system.

In addition, Qianlong Emperor Fei Yanggu believed in the Eastern Orthodox Church in name, while the Western Qing Empire was very secularized. As long as he was loyal to the Western Qing Dynasty, he could be appointed. This kind of environment is actually stricter than Europe at this time, restricting certain religions Dominant vibes are much more flexible.
