Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 833 "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" and the Demise of the Former Ming Dynasty

When Kangxi heard this, his face was as black as ink, and he was not feeling well during this time.

Because there are Japanese pirates on the coastline of Tianzhu from time to time.

These Japanese pirates are not difficult to kill, but they are as annoying as mosquitoes.

He guessed that Zhu Datou instigated, although there is no evidence.

These Japanese people don't have any obvious weapons on them, although they can't condemn Daming.

Daming put it bluntly: These Japanese people all escaped from Dongying Duhufu on their own.

Just prevaricating him, he still has no choice but to help Daming continue to kill Japanese pirates.

"What does Zhu Datou mean? Do you still want me to kowtow to him to make amends?"

"Khan," Suo'etu added, "It is estimated that there will be compensation."

It's compensation and kowtow, of course Kangxi is unwilling, he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he doesn't want to lose face?
Suddenly, he thought of the damned Chang Ning, the fake Kangxi of Ming Dynasty who was made a humiliating Marquis of Yan En by Zhu Kezang. If Kang Mazi refused to kowtow, Chang Ning would definitely kowtow!
Thinking of Chang Ning kowtowing to Zhu Kezang to make amends with his name on his shoulders, Kangxi clenched his fists and punched the table in front of him, but it frightened Suo'etu and the ministers of Nanshufang who were present, and gave them all to Kangxi. Mazi knelt down.

They trembled and shouted in unison: "Khan, calm down!"

Kangxi knew that Zhu Kezang was beating them.

He gritted his teeth and said to Suoetu and Longkodo: "Suoetu, Longkodo, you have to work hard, set off immediately instead of going by sea, go by land, go to Raksha immediately, and talk to her after seeing the queen." Go to Versailles together for the United Nations conference."

"Whoo!"

"Whoo!"

Suo'etu and Longkodo hurriedly knelt down to receive the decree. After receiving the decree, Suo'etu asked again: "What is the Qing Dynasty's position on the British kowtow?"

"Humph!"

Kangxi snorted, and Suo'etu shuddered in fright, "I listen to Queen Sophia's position, and I listen to Queen Sophia's position on the Qing Dynasty's position at the Versailles United Nations Conference!"

"Whoo!"

Between Lahore and Moscow in the Raksha State, there is now a 80-mile express delivery in charge of the Turghut Mongols. It is composed of more than 8000 post stations and spans more than [-] miles. postal system.

It can take more than 20 days to send the love letter of Kangxi Khan from Lahore, Tianzhu to Moscow, the capital of Rakshasa!
Speaking of post stations, we have to mention the post station system of the Ming Dynasty. The post station of the Qing Dynasty also inherited the Ming Dynasty.

Some people say, why can't there be any signs of Ming Dynasty's subjugation in "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" written between Wanli and Chongzhen?
But in fact, Xu Xiake's travel notes are one of the signs of the subjugation of the country. Xu Xiake himself was prostitution in the post system of Daming.

Because the post station stipulates that only national military officials and imperial envoys can enjoy the post station for free.

Xu Xiake, who didn't even have a reputation, had no right to use the official post station of the Ming Dynasty. However, with the "letter of introduction" presented by the officials of the Ming Dynasty, he swaggered and carefree along the way. Meat, hard-boiled eggs, and pulp."

I remember a passage in it, to the effect that I couldn’t find the corvee at the post station, so I arrested a strong woman and carried him up the mountain.

From the fact that Mr. Xu Xiake and Mr. Xu can record these "black materials" in his travel notes openly and aboveboard, it proves that he didn't take this seriously at all, which is very natural.

Even if a literati is like this, let alone the officials of the Ming Dynasty who support each other, they also have relatives and friends.

The public utensils of the Ming Dynasty became tools for individuals to seek personal gain, and became a magic weapon for Xu Xiake to greet and send to Xunfang to visit the scenery. There is a kind of beauty that more than half of the goods transported by China Merchants Steamship in the late Qing Dynasty were the officials' own goods.

When Zhang Juzheng was rectifying the mail, the group of scholar-bureaucrats opposed him the most. Zhang Juzheng said confidently: Most of what I say today, although it is not convenient for the time being, after leaving the throne in the future, there must be someone who thinks about me.

Sure enough, in less than 50 years, when the generals were not in the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they began to miss Zhang Juzheng.

Later, Chongzhen couldn't stand it anymore, so he abolished the post station, which was a temporary solution, not a permanent solution.

I have to feel sorry for Li Chuangwang, who lost his good job by these people.

For a Ming elite like Mr. Xu Xiake, Mr. Xu, the Ming Dynasty in his eyes was a beautiful era full of vigor and vitality.

What he sees every day when he opens his eyes is a mansion that he is tired of living in, a group of wives and concubines with all kinds of beauty, child molesters and maids, the top Yingying Yanyan of the Ming Dynasty in the brothel, and chickens and ducks that can never be eaten. fish.

The "ordinary" life is really boring, let's go for a walk, this is a bit interesting.

What he can't see are the poor people who carry luggage and sedan chairs for him, and the farm work is delayed. What he can't see are the peasant women who cook for him and do housework for him. People whose families are broken.

He also couldn't see that the Ming army, which lacked military pay and qualified weapons, was retreating steadily.

I can't see that the severe drought in Shaanxi has already eaten people, but the Ming Dynasty still imposed taxes on Shaanxi that were impossible to recover.

In 1640, Xu Xiake died.

In 1644, the Qing army entered the pass.

Of course, we don't have to criticize Mr. Xu Xiake, Mr. Xu, if there is no such thing as the wool of Daming, there will be no travel notes of Xu Xiake.

And Xu Xiake's Xu family was almost wiped out in the Jiangnan slave coup.

It can be said that it is very satisfying.

What is Jiangnan slave change?
To put it simply, in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River had thousands of slaves in their families.

Under the influence of the Qing army's entry into the customs and Li Zicheng's uprising, in various places in the south of the Yangtze River, slaves tied up their masters to "fuck and sochi", questioned "how can I call me a slave?" And Ping Zhi!” slogan, revenge those rich people in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was generally believed that Xu Xiake's eldest son and his family died heroically during Jiangyin's resistance to the Qing army's invasion. However, later research found an embarrassing fact that Xu Xiake's eldest son did not die during Jiangyin's resistance to the Qing army's invasion.

Xu Xiake's eldest son and more than 20 members of his family were besieged by his family's servants in Nanxiang, Jiangyin, and then Xu's family was wiped out by the whole family.

Judging from the records of Xu's descendants, the day when his family was besieged happened to be the day when Yan Yingyuan led the Jiangyin people to raise the flag in Jiangyin to fight against the Qing Dynasty, the Ghost Festival.

More than 20 people from the Xu family were killed in this "slave change". Xu Xiake's eldest son Xu Qi, nephews Xu Lianggong and Xu Liangcai were all killed. Xu Xiake's second son Xu Xian was also probably killed at the same time, but fortunately Xu Qi's wife They escaped with Xu Jianji and Xu Jianshu, and they returned to Xu Qi's father-in-law's house.

If the Xu family had been more polite to the servants on weekdays, the servants would not have wanted to destroy the whole family of the Xu family, at most they would have stolen money and run away.

If tenants and servants are ghosts in human skin in troubled times, then tyrants like the Xu family are obviously demons in human skin in governance.

This is why Zhu Kezang wants to abolish the native national slavery in the new Ming Dynasty.

Kangxi fully learned the lessons of the demise of the previous Ming Dynasty and vigorously built post stations. The lessons learned by the two sides are different, but both have some effects.

So when Soetu, Longkodo and others were still rushing to Moscow at a speed of hundreds of miles a day, Kangxi's letter had already been delivered to Sophia.
