[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth
Chapter 93 The 6th Year of Hongzhi
Zhu Youtang and Ma Wensheng couldn't understand the importance of the Strait of Malacca, at least they couldn't understand it just by looking at Zhu Houzhao's map.Their concept is still on the first country. For them, sea trade is just a means to increase fiscal revenue. They still don't know the importance of sea trade to a country in the future.The importance of oil and natural gas is only known to Zhu Houzhao and Du Ruo, and the days when the Strait of Malacca becomes a "lifeline" are still far away.
But they were lucky to meet Zhu Houzhao.Zhu Houzhao focused on telling them about European history.Of course, the information was kindly provided by Du Ruo, otherwise it would be impossible for Zhu Houzhao, a historical idiot, to say it now.
This incident shocked Zhu Youtang greatly. He didn't know that there was such a land just beyond the mountains and deserts in the northwest. They were beautiful and rich, and had a long history not inferior to that of the Central Plains. The empire they founded had once Its territory is even larger than its own country.
Zhu Youtang looked at this map and fell into a deep silence. The impact of this map is far beyond those trivial things in reality.He is a person with strong self-esteem, which was given to him by the environment in which he lived since he was a child.Although what he wants to be is not the number one enlightened king through the ages, but to surpass his own father.But this does not prevent him from feeling insignificant when he sees that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.
Aware of Zhu Youtang's shock, Zhu Houzhao gave him a reassurance. Europe had only experienced a huge plague, the Black Death, in the [-]th century, and it hadn't recovered yet.But Zhu Houzhao also emphasized their ambition, their bloody pirate culture.The reason why Zhu Youtang and the others pay so little attention to maritime trade is because China and India are relatively resource-rich countries, and they hardly need to hope to get anything from maritime trade.
Objectively speaking, it is impossible for the Chinese to discover the New World before the Europeans, because they have no desire for overseas materials.They are different from Europe, where the cold temperatures of most of the barren lands forced them to expand outward.This reason is easy to explain. If you look at the map of Europe, you will find that the closer the countries are to Ukraine, one of the world's three major black lands, the less their sense of presence in the history of the world's oceans will be.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to give Zhu Youtang a reason, a reason to vigorously develop the navy.The development of the army is the most expensive project for a country, but it is also the project that is most likely to produce scientific and technological achievements.Before he was on stage, it was the safest idea for Zhu Youtang to focus his experience on developing the navy.The naval base of the Ming Dynasty was zero, which is also the easiest investment to produce results. Doing this will also bring Zhu Youtang a great sense of accomplishment. This is Zhu Houzhao's idea.
It was Ma Wensheng who reacted.In the past few years, Zhu Houzhao has been talking about maritime trade and coastal defense, and Ma Wensheng is very concerned about it. He doesn't want another emperor who supports eunuchs and consumes the whole country and oceans, even if he is only a prince now.This is also the reason why he supports the opening of the sea ban, but the cost of opening the sea ban in this way is always less than that of sailing to the west.
The materials he had read now allowed him to quickly understand the importance of this Manga country.As Zhu Houzhao said, in the future, those Europeans will become the mainstream of Ming trade. In this case, the Strait of Malacca is the most important passage for them to come to Ming. Once they pass here, they can get here with their merchant ships. any place.They can not only bring wealth to Daming, but also disaster.
In this way, the status of this strait is highlighted. As long as the Ming army fortifies here, there is no need to fear the invasion of these pirates.At least they will not directly impact the increasingly important ports of Guangzhou and Quanzhou.Ma Wensheng still has this military sense.
Zhu Youtang did not expect his child to change so much after going out. His child has always been gentle and refined, and he is a person who is particularly in line with Confucian norms.But it was exactly this that made Zhu Youtang worry, an emperor could not be a "gentleman", otherwise he would be eaten by these ministers at some point until there were no bones left.
Now Zhu Houzhao's change is what Zhu Youtang is happy to see. Although moral sentiment is very important, means are still indispensable.Zhu Houzhao used to pay too much attention to everyone, but neglected to use his power to make them surrender.As it is now, Zhu Youtang feels very good, this is the way to be a king.A king must have the means of an emperor and the stinginess of an emperor, otherwise he can only be an emperor and cannot have the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of normal people.Zhu Youtang doesn't want Zhu Houzhao to be a political machine only for the country, he wants his children to be happy.But when he thought that Zhu Houzhao's change was due to his injury, Zhu Youtang felt distressed again.
When he went back, Ma Wensheng carried the map next to his body, it was a treasure that could not make any mistakes.And Zhu Youtang began to listen to Zhu Houzhao what he saw and heard in Quanzhou.Plump foreign beauties, rare and rare fruits, Arabs who eat with only their right hand.On the way, I joined two little buns who came to find my elder brother. Zhu Houwei was most interested in this. Zhu Houzhao’s childhood education cultivated his desire to explore and curiosity. In the end, he chased and asked Zhu Houzhao about the specific situation of those barbarians. .
And the little princess wormwood is more interested in the plants that Zhu Houzhao mentioned. The legendary fruits are red dragon fruit, extremely sour lemon, and the big coconut that Zhu Houzhao brought back.
I heard that Zhu Houzhao also brought back a barbarian with yellow hair and blue eyes. The three of them became more interested. Zhu Houwei kept pestering Zhu Houzhao to ask him what the barbarian looked like. Zhu Houzhao only had to draw him a cartoon of Luo Zhijian. little like.Although Zhu Houzhao's painting is not very good and it is not very similar to himself, but such a barbarian with yellow hair, blue eyes and hooked nose has successfully surprised Zhu Houwei.
The last few people didn't go back for dinner for a long time, and successfully hooked Mrs. Zhang over.The three of them looked at themselves, and Zhu Youtang simply wrote the imperial decree with a swipe of a pen, summoning Luo Zhijian to the palace to have an audience.The two children I like are having fun.
Luo Zhijian lived in Anguo Gong's mansion with Du Ruo.The architecture in the north is naturally different from that in the south. Unlike the gentleness and gracefulness of the southern architecture, Luo Zhijian is speechless because of the majesty and majesty of the Anguo Mansion.For Luo Zhijian who knows little about China, this is the first time he has seen such a large-scale building, let alone this is just a man's residence.
The only comparable one is the Hangzhou Chief Envoy Yamen, but that is a Yamen after all, and it is impossible to clean it up like the Anguo Mansion.Luo Zhijian found that every step he took when he came to Daming was a shocking journey.He has thanked God countless times in his diary, thanked God for giving him the opportunity to reach the East, and thanked God for giving him the opportunity to preach.
Everyone in Anguo Gong's mansion is very interested in this barbarian. The maids rush to deliver things here, and the servants find various reasons to come and see.If Du Ruo couldn't help this, he specially arranged Luo Zhijian to the most conspicuous Wutong Garden, so that everyone could see him more easily.
Curiosity was quickly replaced by jokes. Luo Zhijian is generally a very educated person. He is a priest who received the best education given by the church. However, there are always differences between Eastern and Western cultures, even with the best education. Misunderstandings are inevitable, and he is not without flaws.
First of all, there is the problem of using chopsticks for eating. Luo Mingjian can use chopsticks, but he is not familiar with them. There is a problem, that is, his clothes are always dirty and the maids have to wash him. like a child.Soon the subject of the maids changed from the weird clothes he was wearing to which dish made him embarrassed again today.Even the kitchen knows it. Every day, he deliberately cooks delicious dishes that are not easy to pick up to see his jokes.
The second is that he doesn't take a bath. If Du Ruo has to take a bath every day, basically everyone in An Guogong's mansion knows this.Because Du Ruo likes to be clean, as long as the people in An Guogong's mansion are on the bright side, they have to take a bath every day in summer, and it depends on the specific situation in winter.It's a pity that Luo Mingjian didn't take a shower. If someone reminded him, he would of course take a shower. The problem is that no one reminded him.So Luo Mingjian lived like this for two days with the heavy body odor and greasy hair from the two-month voyage, making no one want to get close to him.
What matters is that someone sees him defecating everywhere.The latrines in Anguo Gong's mansion are well repaired, because Du Ruo couldn't bear it.So in Anguo Gong's mansion, you will never see such a situation where you defecate indiscriminately, and everyone has taken it for granted that you should not defecate anywhere at any time.But the servant in charge of tidying up the garden in the morning found freshly baked poop in the garden of Wutongyuan.The government of Anguo, who was still interested in him, suddenly disappeared from discussing him.
As a result, the people in An Guogong's mansion changed from curiosity to contempt, and they didn't care much about this barbarian.Du Ruo asked the little translator to talk to him about the rules after seeing the effect.The little translator used to be a boat runner at sea, because he had been in contact with barbarians for a period of time in Manga, so he learned French and became Luo Zhijian's translator.
He followed Luo Zhijian only for the ten taels of silver, now that Du Ruoyan paid him more money, he naturally obeyed Du Ruoyan.Du Ruo told him not to talk to Luo Zhijian when he first entered the mansion of An Guogong, and let Luo Zhijian grope for a few days. Man develops into a Christian.Du Ruo had to admit that Christianity was very attractive to poor people.
Although doing so would inevitably lead to the suspicion of bullying Luo Zhijian, but Du Ruo really couldn't accept a Christian appearing in his house in the future, and if something happened, Du Ruo didn't want to see it.It's not that Du Ruo is prejudiced against Christianity, but that the current Christianity is indeed unpopular, xenophobic, jihad, church, Du Ruo doesn't want to see him appear in Ming's land.
According to Zhu Houzhao's meaning, he was the one who was going to enter the palace after all, and if he made a fool of himself at that time, Luo Zhijian lived in the Duke Anguo's mansion after all, and he would lose face of the Duke Anguo mansion.Because of this, now Du Ruo has no choice but to ask the little translator to teach Luo Zhijian the etiquette slowly, at least he can fool him when the time comes.
The holy decree arrived at Anguo Gong's mansion on the third day, and all the etiquette and characters that appeared made Luo Zhijian feel novel.Especially when he heard that the emperor of the Ming Empire wanted to see him, Luo Zhijian jumped up happily.This is the lord of this land, the richest man in the world.
