Chapter 331 National responsibility must be conquered!
Looking at the blacks and whites fighting in the street, Weng Wanda felt a headache, but he knew that he had to deal with this matter, otherwise, this kind of fighting would only make the entire Ceuta chaotic and disorderly.
So Weng Wanda waved his hand: "All the brawlers will be executed! What Ming Dynasty needs are slaves as obedient as sheep, and no warlike and unruly people like cockfighting cocks!"
So, two groups of Ming soldiers came over with rifled rifles, formed an array, and faced the black and white people who were fighting in front of them.
When some black and white people saw the Ming army appearing, they knew that they had violated the rules and knelt down obediently.
However, there were still some aggressive black and white people who did not care about the appearance of the Ming army and continued to fight.
The Ming army was not polite. When they saw these black and white people still fighting, they opened fire and killed several people with a bang.
Fuxing, the prime minister of Ceuta Prefecture, couldn't bear to see this, so he couldn't help but suggest to Weng Wanda:
"Your Majesty, can you please forgive these slaves who are fighting? The Spanish Armada is currently pointing directly at our city of Ceuta, and our Guards Navy and Army are smaller in number. Since these slaves are good at fighting, can they be unified into slave soldiers? To enrich our military strength.”
"No, Brother Changfeng must not forget the Battle of Muye. Even if these slaves are obedient, they cannot be trusted, let alone these slaves who are good at fighting. Until you can guarantee that they remain absolutely loyal to us, these slaves cannot Become a man in arms;
The most important thing now is to stabilize the order in Ceuta, especially these slaves. Restless slaves must be executed! ”
As Weng Wanda spoke, he looked behind him at some white Confucian scholars and black Confucian scholars wearing Confucian robes. Seeing that there were fewer black Confucian scholars than white Confucian scholars, he seemed to understand the reason for the frequent fights between black people and white people.
Weng Wanda couldn't help but turn around and said to Fuxing, the prime minister in charge of education: "In the future, when promoting filial piety and integrity, blacks and whites will be admitted separately, each accounting for half, and blacks will be in charge of whites, and whites will be in charge of blacks, following the principle of whites controlling blacks, and blacks controlling whites. Code! ”
"The lower official understands, but you, the governor, don't know. When it comes to accepting Confucianism, white people do accept it faster than black people and are more easily assimilated."
Fuxing couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke, and also glanced at some black and white Confucian scholars behind him. When he saw these Confucian scholars wearing robes with charming smiles on their faces and watching the scene of fighting black and white people being shot, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
Fuxing thought that after so many years of Confucian enslavement education, these black and white people finally downplayed the imbalance of being reduced to slaves of the Han people, and began to accept the fact that they were first-class slaves under the Han people, even if they saw people lower than themselves. First-class ordinary black people and white people were shot dead, but they were more calm than me, a Ming Dynasty official.
Li Quangui was a Guards soldier assigned to Ceuta. At this time, he participated in shooting the slaves who were still fighting. After the brawlers among the slaves were shot, Li Quangui followed the orders of his superiors and held the gun. The butt of the gun walked over the bodies of these slaves who were beaten to death, and swung it directly at these already obedient slaves, until their mouths were covered with blood.
After all, although these slaves stopped fighting when the Ming army appeared, they still participated, so according to the rules, they still had to accept lessons and punishments.
This is the rule!
These slaves did not dare to resist, because the Ming army had guns in their hands, and they were used to being controlled by the noble Han people. After nearly thirty years of colonial rule, these people had accepted from their hearts that the Han people should The thought of being superior to others.
But it was only in Ming colonies like Ceuta that the superiority of the Han people existed. For the Spanish Armada, which was sailing south at this time, what they wanted to prove was that they, the white people, were superior to the Han people.
With the great geographical discovery and the opening of new routes, global trade entered an era of rapid development. Coupled with the steam industrial revolution that took place in the Ming Dynasty, this development speed became even more rapid.
And as a result, exchanges between the East and the West have become more frequent.
Therefore, Ming Dynasty made a series of reactions to the eastward march of Western colonists in this era.
In the beginning, it was just the Battle of Tuen Mun that cost Portugal the opportunity to colonize the Ming Dynasty.
Then came the Battle of Manchuria, which caused Portugal to lose the opportunity to control trade on the Daming Sea, and gave China the gateway to control trade on the Daming Sea and a base for westward expansion.
Then there was Xia Yan's western tour, capturing the Cape of Good Hope and Ceuta, and killing the Papal States.
Immediately afterwards came the Ming Dynasty's occupation of the city of Goa.
These actions brought great shock to the West, making these Western colonists realize that the Ming Empire in the East was neither a country that could be plundered like the Indians, nor was it a super empire without ambitions.
"If we don't face up to the westward strategy of this empire, Portugal will not only be the only country in the West that will be attacked by this Eastern Empire. This empire is not a country that believes in Jesus. Their attack will make our entire Western civilization disappear!"
Ofic, a professor at the University of Florence, agreed with the views of the Spanish Armada Commander Aclau, so he also strongly agreed with the proposal to merge Portugal and Spain to jointly deal with the Eastern Empire that showed its hegemony.
Aklau has been studying the Ming Dynasty. He even went to the Ming Dynasty disguised as a missionary and other missionaries. He also studied Chinese and Confucianism in Haojing for ten years. After that, he went to Nanjing and met several people from the Ming Dynasty. As a scholar-bureaucrat, he lamented the wealth and vitality of this empire, but he also felt the cruelty and ferocity of this empire hidden under the brocade robes and silk clothes.
Aklau had seen with his own eyes how white people became slaves when carrying steel for the Han people. He even saw the pain of white people when their glands and reproductive organs were cut off by the Han people because of body odor. This was something he could not bear and could not accept. of.
Therefore, he believed that Westerners like him must teach this empire a lesson, otherwise sooner or later they would all become slaves abused by this empire.
In fact, with the deepening of economic globalization, the West is indeed increasingly dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty, including the Han people who made up the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty took away their interests.
In today's Haiti in North America, Spanish colonists have established their own colonies here and also established cities such as Saint-Doming.
After the Ming Dynasty's Jianchang Hou Zhang Yanling discovered the South American route, he was also ordered to occupy Chile and Panama and establish many colonial and trade strongholds.
And after the Ming Dynasty opened up to the outside world, many Ming Dynasty merchants came to Haiti and other areas to establish trade relations with the local Indians.
Because of this, conflicts between Ming Dynasty and Spain in America are inevitable.
The Ming Dynasty advanced from south to north, while Spain advanced from north to south.
Both have just now advanced to Central America.
But Ming Dynasty is not yet very primitively aggressive.
Because the production technology of the Ming Dynasty was very advanced, textiles such as raw silk were very profitable. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty did not need to directly take away the gold and silver from the Indians through brutal methods of massacre and plunder, but only sold ultra-cheap and high-quality textiles. A lot of profits can be made.
But Spain was different. Its backward production technology meant that it could only steal gold and silver from the Indians in the most brutal way, and would even steal textiles and other goods that the Indians had purchased from Ming merchants.
This also led to the Indians' attitudes towards Spain and other Western colonists being very different from those of the Ming Dynasty.
The Indians compared the Western colonists to jackals and the Ming Dynasty to the angels of creation.
Because the Western colonists only massacred and plundered, they even brought diseases such as smallpox and plague to them, causing many of them to die from the diseases.
The merchants of the Ming Dynasty brought them exquisite silk and strong cotton, and even brought them interesting operas, solid cement roads, and elegant Chinese schools. They also provided them with vaccinations and various new treatments. This method alleviated the smallpox and plague brought by Western colonists.
Of course, in fact, the gold and silver plundered by Spanish and other Western colonists from the Indians would still be earned by the Ming Dynasty through trade.
In other words, most of the wealth accumulated by the Indians in the Americas was essentially acquired by the Ming Dynasty.
However, in the eyes of the Indians, the real invaders were white-skinned pigs, while the angels from the east were God's messengers and builders.
In the areas colonized by the Ming Dynasty, Indians were happy to be second-class citizens. After all, they could still have their own private property here, receive protection of their lives and property, participate in fair trade, and learn language and writing. , and also knew that he was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.
The Ming Dynasty Confucian scholars who came to the Americas also racked their brains in order to make these Indians accept that they were second-class Han people. Finally, based on some anthropological views from Capital University, they evolved a so-called Indian history, which means that Indians They were formerly domestic slaves of the ancestors of the Han people, Yan and Huang. Because of this, they were arranged to live in the Americas in order to establish a new civilization. However, domestic slaves are inseparable from the light of their masters. Therefore, before the Han people appeared in the Americas, the Indian society was backward, barbaric, and their history was unmemorable and even humiliating.
Nowadays, the master Han people have come to liberate their domestic slaves.
As a domestic slave, you should also be grateful for your master's care, and should uphold the instructions of your ancestors and be a domestic slave to the Han people for generations. You should remain loyal to the Han people for generations, and respect your ancestors, gods, and your master, because the master himself is God's. descendants, and he is God’s domestic slave.
"We are all slaves of the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, we are nobler than the white-skinned pigs who invaded us. These white-skinned pigs are invaders like Chi You. Although they are stronger than us, our master will take our place. Clean up theirs”.
In the city of Santo Domingo, Indian Yu Chen Dexin said this to some Indians underground.
Because of the hatred for Western colonists, Yu Chen Dexin's ideas of resisting Western invaders were easily accepted by the Indians. However, the spread of this idea also made the Spanish colonists very vigilant. In particular, this kind of idea led to the Indians People launched many rebellions on the grounds of regaining the territory of the Han family.
At this time, the Spanish governor in Santo Domingo, Corantes, also said to his subordinates:
"Recently, the Indians have been rebelling frequently. The root cause is still the Han people's idea of "house slaves of the gods." These Indians are obviously very easy to accept the ideas of the Han people who are close to them in skin color, and they are also willing to become rich and cunning. The domestic slaves of the Han people use this to think that they are nobler than us people and no longer fear us. It is precisely because they are no longer afraid that these Indians become more and more reactionary!”
“These Han people are not only good at inciting Indians to resist us, but what harms us the most is actually their advantage in trade;
Because these textiles from the Ming Empire were of good quality and cheap, now more than 80% of our textile industry in Santo Domingo has declared bankruptcy!
It’s not just textiles, because the steel they make is better and the machinery is more advanced. Most of the gold and silver we mine every year fall into their hands. Moreover, our own steel and corresponding machinery are unsaleable, and we can only use the mined iron. Sell mines and other materials to Daming at low prices! This is a terrible thing! ”
Corantis's subordinate Mesif said.
"You are all right. These Indians rebelled under the slogan of retaking the territory of the Han family. On the surface, they wanted to retake the territory for the Ming Empire. They recognized the Ming Empire's ownership of these territories. In essence, they wanted to retake themselves. The right to use these places is for the benefit of survival!
We cannot give these Indians a chance, nor can we give these Han people a chance to seduce our slaves, at least not in Santo Domingo. Therefore, your Excellency, Governor, I suggest that we conduct a one-week war against the Han and Indians in the city of Santo Domingo. Massacre, and at the same time encourage Indians to massacre Indians and Han people, especially Indians to massacre Han people. This can completely provoke conflicts between Han people and Indians, and make the Han people's plans to take advantage of our conflicts with the Indians to rule the Americas go bankrupt! ”
Corantis's subordinate Vixey suggested so.
Corlandis agreed with this: "Your suggestion is very good. All activities of the Han Chinese Saint-Doming in the Ming Empire must be completely banned, including spreading knowledge, organizing Indian soldiers who are loyal to us, and letting them enter the city to massacre The Han and the Indians, at the same time, told all the Indians that if they killed one Han within a week, they would be rewarded with one Ying Yang, and if they killed five Indians, they would be rewarded with one Ying Yang!”
Therefore, Spanish Governor Corantes issued such an order for the massacre.
He Ruiyi was a Confucian scholar from Ji'an, Jiangxi. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor said, "I think some Thai and Western scholars dare to teach all over the world for the study of the West. Since you regard Confucianism as the orthodox school, why are you not willing to teach all over the world?" He Rui then resigned from his position as editor of the Hanlin Academy and was influenced by Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang, who sailed around the world and discovered America. He Rui then came to Santo Domingo to spread Confucianism to the local Indians as a Confucian missionary. of learning.
At this time, He Ruigang had just finished teaching the Indians how to be "loyal to the emperor" and was about to announce the end of class. Spanish official Vixey came with a group of Spanish and Indian officers and soldiers, and personally came over with a knife and faced He Rui. Rui slashed down, cutting He Rui in half, causing He Rui's blood to immediately spill on the statue of Confucius on the wall.
At this time, Chen Guo Xingxi, an Indian who had been Chineseized, immediately shouted: "How can you hurt my teacher!"
Weixi directly cut Chen Guoxingxi's head to the ground with a backhand knife, and said to the officers and soldiers he brought with him: "Just like this, kill all the Han people and the Indians who learn the Han language!"
He Zaide was also a Confucian scholar who was deeply influenced by the idea of being a slave of the Han people and highly influenced by Han culture. He was also very angry when he saw his mentor He Rui being killed by Westerners, not to mention that he was named after his mentor. I hope I can be a virtuous person As a gentleman, as an Indian, you should be proud to be a slave of the Yanhuang family. Therefore, the surnames of your father and mother are combined into your own surname. Naturally, He Zaide is willing to take his mentor as the main one, but He was named He Zaide because he was an orphan without a mother.
However, when He Zaide saw that his mentor was killed and his classmates were also killed, he was naturally very angry and hurriedly raised his fists to hit Vixie.
Phew!
However, how could a scholar's weak fist defeat a jackal? Vexi directly cut off He Zaide's waist.
He Zaide was killed on the spot!
All the Confucian scholars present were killed.
No coincidence.
At this time, in another Confucian academy in Santo Domingo City, Zhao Qian Zongkai and other Indians were guarding Yao Jian and other Han Confucian scholars in the middle, and shouted to the Spanish colonists who were walking towards them: "You, the barbarians, must not harm our master!"
Snap!
But the Spanish colonists ignored Zhao Qian Zongkai's roar, and fired directly, sending bullets into the chests of these Chinese Indians, killing these Chinese Indians on the spot, and were killed by the Indians. The Han people who were protected by others were not spared and were also shot!
Yu Chen Dexin had to use Indian language and wear traditional Indian clothes to shuttle around the city of Santo Domingo. He saw with his own eyes that these Spanish colonists were massacring Han Chinese and Chinese Indians, and he also saw with his own eyes that the Spanish colonists were burning Han people's goods and merchant ships were even directly plundered.
Yu Chen Dexin was very sad and angry. He was angry that these people destroyed this peaceful environment and this stable business order. He hated these people even more for treating the Han people and Indians like him so cruelly.
Yu Chen Dexin had a strong desire in his heart to immediately let Emperor Zhengde, who was far away in the east and commanded all living beings, know about this matter. He hoped that the great Emperor Zhengde could rescue these Indians and punish these wolves!
Therefore, Yu Chen Dexin tried every means to bring the news of the Spanish colonists' massacre of Santo Domingo to the Panama area controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, at this stage, Spain and other foreign powers had more than one conflict with the Ming Dynasty.
Because with the development of global trade, the Ming Dynasty gained the upper hand in the competition for interests, making the interest disputes between the Ming Dynasty and these Western colonists increasingly fierce. In addition to smuggling opium, countries such as Spain could only rely on banning Han trade and massacring Han people to solve the problem. Advantages of the Han in trade.
……
Beijing.
Royal Xiyuan Hanbitang Hall.
Zhu Houzhao punched Spain in anger. If he had intercontinental missiles and nuclear warheads in his hands now, he would like to defeat Spain now.
But it is a pity that he is now the emperor of Ming Dynasty, not the head of state in the 21st century. He does not have nuclear weapons and long-range unconventional weapons.
Now Zhu Houzhao has learned about the Spanish Armada's attack on Ceuta and the Spanish colonists' massacre of Han Chinese and Chinese Indians in Santo Domingo City.
"The real challenges are everywhere, wars occur all the time, the wealth of the world is gathered within the country, and the foreign barbarians have become evil spirits, burning, killing, looting, and attacking cities and lands! It is truly a heinous crime!"
Gui E, Minister of the Ministry of War, said something.
Zhu Houzhao admitted that Gui E had said a lot. At present, the Ming Dynasty had reaped too many benefits overseas. It even relied on its advantages in production technology and civilized propaganda and management, causing serious damage to the interests of the Western colonists who only knew primitive plunder. A series of incidents occurred there. It is inevitable that although the Ming Dynasty has strong national power, it is difficult to guarantee the safety and stability of every Han people thousands of miles away and the stability of every Han people's stronghold.
Huo Tao, the left minister of the Ministry of War and deputy envoy to the Privy Council, could not help but say: "But both Ceuta and Saint-Doming are far away from the Ming Dynasty, especially the city of Saint-Doming. It is really harmful to work hard for forty or fifty people. In order to protect the people's wealth, I think that this matter can only be blamed on the foreigners, and at the same time, the people of the country are prohibited from doing business in Santo Domingo City, and the Marquis of Jianchang is asked to find a way to transport the Han people back to the country."
"It is the country's responsibility to protect the lives and property of our people. As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you, as the officials of the Ming Dynasty, cannot just collect taxes without taking responsibility. Anyone who dares to kill our Han people will be punished no matter how far away they are! In addition, no matter how far away they are, they will be killed!" , we cannot cut off our trade routes just because the foreign barbarians are cruel!”
After saying that, Zhu Houzhao added: "What's more, our Ming Dynasty's national income depends entirely on foreign trade and tariffs. If we withdraw, it will be equivalent to handing over America!
For this matter, even if it costs tens of thousands of dollars, we have to go on an expedition to convey my will. The General Staff of the Guards immediately set up a staff group. Now that southern Jiaozhi has been occupied by our Ming Dynasty, the southern front corps no longer needs naval support and is immediately mobilized. Wang Hong went to Beijing to serve as deputy privy envoy and governor of the General Staff, with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. He served as the team leader and was responsible for establishing the opportunity for the naval expedition to America and the plan to kill the jackals! ”
At this time, Qi Jingtong, the left commander of the Jinyi Guards, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Yu Chen Dexin, who claims to be a slave of the Han family, is asking for an audience. This is the memorial he asked someone to hand over."
Yu Chen Dexin?
Zhu Houzhao was confused for a while, but he soon understood, because he had learned through Jinyiwei that some Chinese Indians would combine the surnames of their father and mother into their own surnames to show that they were orthodox Han slaves. Now I can see that this man is also a Chinese Indian.
Zhu Houzhao took the memorial from Qi Jingtong and took a look, but saw that his calligraphy and writing style were no different from those of the Han scholars. He was quite surprised. At the same time, Zhu Houzhao, who was now interested in exploring America, also knew the key to ruling America. This is how to use the Indians, so he ordered: "Declare the meeting!"
