Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 387: Chinese theism, the storm in Western Europe, and the rise of Zhu Youqi
"Dad?" Zhu Jianqi was really confused. Is this old man who was so submissive his father?

"Qi'er, this world of thousands of miles will eventually be passed on to you."

"I originally wanted to abdicate to you in advance. I will help you move forward and let the people of the world accept you as the new emperor."

"But I thought the people's hearts were too simple."

Zhu Qiyu murmured: "The common people spontaneously create gods. It seems that they are putting your father and me on the altar, but in fact they are digging up the roots of my Zhu family."

"I am over eighty this year, how many years can I live?"

"I have become a god, can future kings still be gods?"

"If it is not God, will public opinion drive him out of power? When the time comes, will the throne have to be inherited within the Zhu family? Why can't other families become emperors?"

To put it bluntly, it is possible to directly enter modern society.

Abolish the emperor and establish a cabinet system.

"Because of you, I have a relationship with them. You are my son."

"You are the king of the country. From the day you were born, it was destined that the position of crown prince belongs to you, and even I cannot move it."

Zhu Qiyu breathed a long sigh of relief: "To be honest, I am really dissatisfied with you as the prince, and I have also thought about changing the prince."

This is not a good thing for the royal family. How to evaluate the emperor is a subjective question. Emperor Jingtai is a god, but are there few people who hate him?
Emperor Taizu reorganized the Han family's clothes. Do the people in the world really miss Emperor Taizu?

In fact, he knew that his crown prince position was stable after he was appointed grandson.

"But not you."

The people are wise and can no longer be fooled. They do not object to the emperor sitting in the sky, but they hope that there will be a good emperor who is outstanding and promising.

It's like the old emperor has become a god. He must consider public opinion in everything he does. He can no longer engage in forced immigration. Even if he goes abroad, he must think twice.

If you consider the people's will, you must choose the environment. This is why some countries cannot develop, or even develop more and more slowly, because they have to listen to public opinion.

"The prince and grandson have been destined for a long time."

The most terrifying thing is for the Prime Minister to rule over the Emperor.

Just take the China River Project. When it was first built, there were many opponents. Now that they are enjoying the benefits, they have started to praise it.

"You are my eldest son!"

Zhu Jianqi was immediately confused. The old emperor and the princess thought of going together. Succession to the throne was originally a natural matter, but now the variable of popular support has caused the Zhu family's throne to be unstable.

"Did you know that when I became a god, my first thought was fear?"

"You fool, the Ming Dynasty always has direct heirs and no direct heirs. You are the eldest son and the prince by birth. Can I change it?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly and said: "But what the people want, I have to go with it."

The old emperor didn't want to be a god, he wanted to pass on the throne smoothly.

Power generation technology will cause serious pollution. Should we give up the electrical revolution because of pollution?

"A divine throne can make the Zhu family lose their worldly power."

If you want to talk about the divine right of kings again, the previous rhetoric is completely useless.

"You sometimes get into trouble and always think that I will change the prince."

That's trouble.

"You are the crown prince and my designated heir."

On the contrary, this has become a shackles, severely restraining the Zhu family. In the future, succession to the throne may become one of the means of fighting with the Prime Minister.

"Qi'er, haven't you figured this out over the years? I can't change the foundation of your country."

Centralization has the benefits of centralization, and democracy has the benefits of democracy.

"Qi'er."

"I don't want to see you. That's because you are stingy, you don't know how to employ people, and you are unwilling to delegate power to your ministers. I am angry with you!"

This puts a pair of shackles on the old emperor.

"Besides, the fourth child is doing very well in Eastern Europe. Is he really willing to come back and be the prince?"

How good the emperor is, who can judge? How to evaluate?

"You can feel relieved now that you have become a grandson, right?"

"But how to change it? Yu Qian was still alive at that time. When I had my thoughts moved, Yu Qian went to the palace at night and knelt on the ground to persuade me that I must not touch the country."

The evaluation of a person's quality is subjective, and the person being evaluated is very passive.

"Your second and third brothers are twins, how can you inherit the throne? There are three older brothers who are still alive, how can it be the fourth brother's turn?"

"The Ming Dynasty is able to prosper today because the central government is stable enough and there are no unnecessary political struggles, let alone fights for the right to inherit the throne."

Zhu Jianqi was moved by these words. He didn't expect that his father would be so outspoken.

The new emperor is shackles and shackles. No matter what he does, the first thing he must consider is the people's support.

"But do I hate you? If I hate you, why do I love the crown princess, and why do I care so much for my grandson?"

"Emperor Renzong was so disliked by Emperor Taizong back then, didn't Emperor Taizong also change his prince?"

"I am getting old. All the concubines and concubines in the harem have left me. All the veterans in the world have left me. Instead, I have become the oldest one in the court."

"I am the emperor, don't I feel lonely?"

"I've had enough of sitting on this throne."

"I also want to live in seclusion in the palace and indulge in lust, but can I? I am the emperor and a role model for the people in the world. I dare not do a single thing wrong or say a wrong word."

"Everyone in the world is looking at me and imitating me."

"I want to lead the Ming Dynasty forward, and I will lead the world forward."

"The weight of the whole world is on me. I am a human being and I know how tired I am."

"Yu Ji has been sixty-two years old, and he is eighty-two years old this year."

"For sixty-two years, I have lived like a machine. I dare not make the slightest mistake every moment. I also want to indulge and be lazy. I am also a human being."

Zhu Jianqi was over fifty, and it was the first time he saw his father speak softly.

In his life, he had never seen his father bend his back. Even at the age of eighty-two, the old emperor still straightened his back, like an ageless green pine. He could even wear 40 kilograms of heavy armor to show his bravery.

"Qi'er, I can't stand a white-haired person sending a black-haired person to you."

"Especially since you are the prince and the foundation of the country."

"If you are sick, the world will be in turmoil."

"If you walk in front of me, what will happen to Qu'er? Should he succeed to the throne over his uncle, or should I get rid of him and replace him with a prince? Jianwen's danger is right in front of us!"

These words startled Zhu Jianqi: "Dad..."

"I'm afraid too."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Many things in this world are not decided by me. If the country's foundation is shaken, the world will be unstable. The Ming Dynasty is at a critical moment of development, and no problems can occur."

"You are the prince, so you should know how powerful this is."

"You can't be sick, you can't fall down."

"Even if you fall, you have to take over the throne from me, and then successfully pass it on to your grandson. Only then will you complete your mission."

Zhu Jianqi's glassy heart was stimulated again. Is this all he can do?

"I hope you can live longer. Qi'er is too young and can't fight against the old foxes in the court. I need you to steer him and support him."

Zhu Qiyu patted him on the shoulder: "Get well. The Ming Dynasty cannot be without you. Dad won't scold you anymore."

Just this sentence made Zhu Jianqi burst into tears.

His father not scolding him is more important than his position as prince.

"I will gradually hand over the military power to you. You must remember that the emperor must control the military power to be the emperor. Otherwise, it is a joke. No matter who deceives you, you must not give up the general power to others."

Zhu Jianqi didn't dare to take over the military power.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. This world will eventually be passed on to you. If I give it to you in advance, I will have less to worry about."

At this moment, Zhu Jianqi really cried.

He always thought that his father only cared about the country and the country and had no love for his children.

But after saying this, he realized that his father was getting old and began to long for family affection.

"Stop saluting, just be aware of what's going on."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Remember, you must dare to employ people, do not doubt others when you employ them, listen to others secretly and listen clearly, and listen more to the opinions of your ministers, then you can make decisions."

"Don't be afraid of making wrong decisions. Just correct them if you know they are wrong."

"Remember, don't look forward and backward when making decisions, be decisive, and don't be afraid if you make a mistake. Your father can still give you assurance."

The emperor explained a few more words, then turned and left Xu Qin Palace.

"My dear friend, Zhu Jianqi, I would like to send you to Your Majesty. My dear friend, I will make the Ming Dynasty glorious forever." Zhu Jianqi got up and bowed respectfully three times and kowtowed nine times.

Seeing the old emperor coming out, the grandson and the princess quickly helped him.

"I'm not old enough to need help."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the Crown Princess: "The Imperial Concubine is not feeling well. Please go to the palace to serve her more. The princesses and princesses also asked them to return to the palace often. The Imperial Concubine is old and lonely. Please spend more time with her."

"My daughter-in-law obeys the decree." The Crown Princess kowtowed.

Zhu Qiyu boarded the imperial chariot and returned to Yangxin Hall.

At the same time, the crown prince and grandson entered the main hall and saw the crown prince kneeling on the ground, crying and laughing. They were startled, thinking that the old emperor had deposed him as crown prince.

"Dad loves me, dad loves me." Zhu Jianqi cried and laughed.

Zhu Youqi was completely blinded.

The Crown Princess understood the Prince's heart. His psychological distortion was caused by being belittled for many years. Now that he had been affirmed by the old emperor, he naturally cried and laughed.

"Come here, prepare a feast. I'm hungry!" The prince's heart was relieved and he was in a good mood.

Within a few days, the prince came to power.

And he received special permission from the emperor to join the Military Aircraft Department as a counselor in military affairs, and to serve as a sacrificial wine drinker at the Martial Arts Hall.

This sent a political signal. Although the old emperor did not succeed in the Zen position, he allowed the prince to control part of the military power, which was actually a Zen position.

It also allows the people to see the family ties between the Tian family.

In the 62nd year of Jingtai, the thermal power generation technology was successfully researched, and the first thermal power plant was built in Daxing to supply electricity to the palace.

The dignitaries in the capital also began to set up wires and turn on the lights.

The first car model was built, but the engine was just a concept. How to put it into practice is still being studied by the scientific research team.

On the other hand, researchers from state-owned enterprises have proposed new ideas for research on internal combustion engines, using internal combustion engines to replace steam engines.

The emperor invested in private research on electricity and the entire industry.

The capital injection is expected to be around 100 billion.

Go all out to promote the electrical revolution.

However, the steam revolution was still in its dividend stage, and private factories had little interest in the electric revolution.

With the European plague, many foreign markets were lost.

This has led to a downturn in private manufacturing.

From the 61st year of Jingtai to the 62nd year of Jingtai, the number of private deposits soared, which just showed that the manufacturing industry was in a cold winter.

A large number of goods are unsaleable, and some manufacturers have gone bankrupt.

Even if the government provides subsidies, it cannot bring the company back to life.

Originally, this was a stage where big fish eat small fish, but the central government intervened forcefully, provided low-interest loans to manufacturers on the verge of bankruptcy, opened islands, ports, and some foreign trade, and did not allow capital to take advantage of the opportunity to annex and expand.

In order to alleviate inflation, the dragon reared its head in the 62nd year of Jingtai, and the Beijing Stock Exchange was officially established.

One after another, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Guangzhou Stock Exchange, and Bianjing Stock Exchange were all listed and established.

The central government rectified the chaotic stock market among the people, standardized and established stock exchanges, and standardized and modeled management.

At the same time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice promulgated the Stock Trading Law. Article 1 of the regulation states that the stock exchange has indefinite retroactive powers for all transactions.

That is to say, if someone engages in illegal operations such as fraud, cashing out and running away in the stock market, the court has unlimited retroactive rights and can impose fines at any time.

On the first day of listing, state-owned enterprises and imperial enterprises fired the first shots on the four exchanges and took the lead in listing.

In order to facilitate stock trading, Ming Dynasty expected to issue banknotes in the 63rd year of Jingtai.

Wei's imperial enterprises and state-owned enterprises were also listed on the Beijing Stock Exchange on the same day.

Many vassal states close to the Ming Dynasty will follow suit.

Many vassal states will also flow hot money into the Ming Dynasty.

Because the vassal state did not have the right to issue currency, the Ming Yuan was used all over the world, that is, Europa, and Ming Yuan was also used up and down the country. Because the Ming Dynasty only used Ming Yuan for transactions with other countries and did not recognize other currencies.

The stock boom has become the second most popular institution after the real estate boom. The four stock exchanges are overcrowded every day.

Fortunately, when the stadium was being built, the emperor had the foresight to allocate a large area of ​​land in the inner city and planned to build four buildings, the tallest in the Ming Dynasty.

Only the first building was built and it opened ahead of schedule.

It has 23 floors and a total height of 72 meters, the tallest in the Ming Dynasty.

In the new year, the stock exchange first ignited the passion of Ming Dynasty.

Along with stocks, there are also zodiac signs.

The constellations are actually derived from the Chinese zodiac. There are two zodiac signs in the middle, but the translation is wrong.

Some people also say that the zodiac comes from Arabia. This is actually impossible. How big of a place is Arabia? How can you observe the stars?
Observing the stars requires a huge territory, a stable social environment, and the court attaches great importance to it.

These three points are perfectly consistent with China.

The land area is not large and it is impossible to observe astronomical phenomena.

Europe and Arabia do not have this at all. The largest country in Europe is not as big as the Ming Dynasty. Arabia is all desert, with no water to drink, and even observing the astronomical phenomena.

India has always been in chaos and has never been unified.

Otherwise, India is more likely than Arabia, but India has never been unified and does not have the political conditions to observe the stars.

China, on the other hand, has been observing astronomical phenomena since the Xia and Shang Dynasties. It has a vast territory, the emperor attaches great importance to it, and many prosperous dynasties, so it naturally has opportunities for the development of astronomy.

Therefore, it is very likely that the zodiac was spread from the Western Regions to Arabia in ancient times, and then spread back again, resulting in an unknown origin of this thing.

It's definitely not European. Babylon didn't exist at all. The era in Europe was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so they had no culture.

This thing is probably Chinese, because it corresponds to the twenty-four solar terms, and the twelve houses are also derived from stargazing, forming a logical closed loop.

This year, the horoscope has become popular.

It really wasn't brought up by the emperor. He didn't even know what the constellations were.

It may be that folk fortune tellers feel that the old tricks can no longer deceive people, so they think of new things, reverse the zodiac signs, and use the horoscopes to tell fortunes.

There are also fortune tellers who want to enter the palace to tell fortunes for the emperor.

The emperor threw him away to Hokkaido. Let him guard the tomb of the Japanese spirit king and see if he is right.

Along with the constellations, there is also the piano.

There was a folk musician who composed a symphony. After the emperor listened to it, he rewarded him greatly and made the piano popular.

The piano was made when Jingtai was ten years old.

There were piano solos at the palace parties, but they were not very popular. Not many people studied folk music, and even if music classes required learning of musical instruments, they were still not popular.

Folk notation has long been popular.

It is true that the staff is not from the Ming Dynasty, it is imported, but now people never mention it, but they think it was also created by the Ming Dynasty.

A few years ago, the first pop singer was so criticized by public opinion that he committed suicide.

Pop music has also seen a resurgence recently.

The old emperor didn't dare to leave. Compared with elegant drum music, pop music has really poor aesthetics. He is a god now, unlike before, he supported everything.

In Dachu.

The news that the old emperor wanted to abdicate reached Chu. The kings and ministers of the Chu state were in panic all day long. Zhu Youtang personally went to court and asked the emperor to withdraw his order.

The old emperor was his grandfather, and the prince was just his uncle.

Over the years, he wrote letters to the old emperor about all his worries, begging the old emperor to help him. He had a good relationship with the old emperor, but he had no friendship with the prince.

Not only him, but all the vassal kings in Europe and Africa were panicked.

It didn't take long for the vassal state to settle down after receiving the news that the old emperor would no longer abdicate.

The most terrifying thing was that after hearing the news, the people of the vassal country took to the streets to cry bitterly and beg the old emperor not to abdicate.

They were forced to move here.

Logically speaking, one should hate the old emperor.

However, today's happy life is also given by the old emperor.

Legally speaking, the old emperor is the only emperor in the world. All vassal kings are ministers of the old emperor, and the people of the vassal state are still people of the Ming Dynasty.

Once the old emperor ascends the throne, will the vassal state still be honest?
Anyone with a bit of brains will know that it won't happen.

Many vassal states not only hope that the old emperor will ascend the throne, but also hope that the old emperor will step down soon. It is very contradictory.

When the old emperor was in office, he could spare no effort to support the development of the vassal state. Once the prince ascended the throne, his support would definitely be cut off. The vassal states had no other choice but to fight each other and compete for a reasonable living space.

After all, the vassal state now lives by sucking the blood of the Ming Dynasty.

After the prince succeeds to the throne, he will definitely not let the vassal country suck blood.

The unlucky ones must be the common people. The people of the major vassal states will definitely be forced to go to the battlefield, fight to the death with their own people, and work hard for the rulers above.

This is a worldwide god-making.

The people of all major vassal states actually treated Emperor Jingtai like a god.

The ones who had a headache were the Kaiser, the French Emperor, and the Ottoman Emperor.

The Mingao War was forced to come to an end because of the plague, and all the European countries suffered heavy losses.

The Ming Emperor suddenly wanted to abdicate, which caused political turmoil in the Ming Dynasty. This was a good thing for the European countries. Who would have thought that the people of Ming and Tibet in Europe and Africa would not agree.

The Kaiser received the news and had been infected with the plague, but he managed to survive.

Hearing that Emperor Ming was so popular with the people, he went crazy with jealousy, vomited blood and died. The Kaiser died.

When the Kaiser died, Europe was in turmoil.

The most unlucky ones were the papal officials. After they were forcibly expelled by Da Chu, they came to Germany to survive. As a result, the German clan was fooled.

Before the Holy See had even been established, Germany was in chaos.

News of the Kaiser's death was received.

Li Chengxun once again came to Denmark, trying to drive a nail into Germany's head.

Germany was too overwhelmed to take care of itself and was unable to send troops to help Norway defend its homeland.

Britain was also ravaged by the plague, and the Netherlands didn't even dare to fart.

France was held hostage by the armies of Chen and Chu and did not dare to go north.

Li Chengxun successfully defeated the Norwegian army and occupied Denmark.

and began to clean up Denmark.

It was renamed Ji State, and Zhu Youzhang, the second son of King Chen Zhu Jianzhu, was named King of Ji and succeeded the vassal here.

The Germans have lost their minds in trying to seize the direct heir.

In the past, the succession of thrones in various countries was not fierce, and it was basically determined who was who. With the Ming Dynasty bringing the idea of ​​emperors, now all the princes and nobles in Europe want to be the emperor.

The throne was also inherited from the duke, and became a family name, with brothers and sisters gone.

Zhu Youtang is the worst.

It was he who instigated the Kaiser's sons to seize the throne.

There was also unrest in France. The son-in-law took away the throne from his father-in-law. The Louis family was very dissatisfied. The two countries of Chu and Chen kept giving them eye drops.

Translate the history of the Ming Dynasty and let them learn it.

I was worried that they wouldn't understand, so I sent someone to explain it to them.

Now, Germany and France are killing all those with oriental faces on sight.

The imperial ideology of the Ming Dynasty was so terrible that many political families were following the example of the Ming Dynasty and wanted to turn their country into a political system with one family and one surname.

Europa was led astray.

After the plague raged, Chu and Chen spread rumors among the European countries, and the princes and generals had a certain kind of relationship.

Europa has not gone through this stage yet.

In the forty-sixth year of Jingtai's reign, the first peasant rebellion occurred in France.

The French emperor was completely confused. We have never played like this before.

This all happened in the era of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang. More than a thousand years have passed. We will help you fill in the missing thousand years of Europa.

Chu State also did some good things. It was Chu State that broke the Pope's monopoly on European politics.

god?
Sorry, we believe in Eastern gods, not Western gods.

A large number of Eastern gods have poured into Europa. Buddhism, Taoism and Huang have appeared in Europa, and there are quite a few people who believe in them.

Even Europeans worship the God of Wealth.

Previously, the Pope strictly prohibited Christians from worshiping idols.

But I can't stand it. Ming Dynasty is so powerful.

Everyone has the mentality of worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners. Naturally, Eastern gods are more popular, so let’s believe it.

This letter was out of control.

There are many great Ming gods.

All countries in the world combined do not have as many gods as the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has all kinds of gods, and there are more than one gods for the same god.

There are only five gods of wealth, you can worship whomever you want.

In terms of the richness of gods, no one can match the Ming Dynasty.

People in the Ming Dynasty also believed in Christianity and Islam.

When you see God, worship him.

If it works for you, keep believing. If it doesn’t work, go to the next one. We definitely won’t be angry with God, just respect him and that’s it.

Akito's belief was shattered by the European worldview.

In particular, Ming Dynasty novels were very popular, and many of them were translated, especially Fengshenbang and Journey to the West, which contain gods from all religions around the world.

After reading this, the Europeans felt a little inferior.

Our God seems unable to defeat that monkey.

What made them collapse the most was that someone from Chu and Chen was worshiping the monkey.

After Kunlun was granted Zen status, the emperor consecrated a number of folk gods on a large scale, such as Huo Qubing, Zhuge Liang, Li Jing, Guo Ziyi, Xu Da, etc.

A group of gods were conferred, and hundreds of ancient people went to the altar.

The emperor was very unhappy with Western depictions of dragons.

The Eastern Dragon is the supreme deity in the world. The description of the dragon in the Romance of the Gods was not very respectful. The emperor was dissatisfied and added many stories about the Dragon King and Dragon Girl, which enhanced the mythical status of the Dragon King.

The Western Dragon is a very low-level god.

Therefore, in the 61st year of Jingtai, the emperor issued an imperial edict requiring the European countries to modify their myths and not insult the dragon.

The dragon is the totem of China and should not be insulted.

In Britain and the Netherlands, many dragon temples appeared in their territory. In order to please the Chu and Chen countries, many dragon temples were built.

There are, indeed, an equal number of churches and oriental temples throughout Ireland.

With the emperor's decree, a group of gods were conferred.

These gods want to enter all temples. The people of Europa are even more confused. We haven't recognized all the gods before, so why are there so many more?

They felt that Akito was not religious at all.

It stands to reason that there should be no churches left in Chu State, and all of them have been converted into Eastern temples. On the contrary, not a single church has been destroyed, and there are many Eastern temples.

Zhu Youtang expelled the Pope, but he should still have faith in God.

No one can be wronged by God.

The emperor once again made Mazu the god of the sea, and put all the sea gods in Eastern and Western mythology into the Mazu temple for worship.

Including Poseidon from Greek mythology.

Greece can disappear, but God cannot disappear.

But Poseidon became Mazu's vehicle and one of the gods in charge of the ocean.

The local people believed in it, and the vassal states also followed suit.

Overseas vassal states have expanded Mazu temples one after another, and they have gone even more ruthless by inviting local gods into the temple. The benefits of worshiping more will definitely increase.

So when Europeans saw the temples of Chu, Chen, Zhao, Qi and other countries, they were all confused.

What? Do you also believe in our God?

Believe it.

After the emperor promulgated the imperial edict, no one in the government or the public opposed it. They all thought it was natural. As long as it is a god, there is no harm in believing in it.

Look at the emperor, all five religions believe in him.

In the 40th year of Jingtai's reign, the emperor even spent money to build the largest mosque in the Ming Dynasty, and the prince went in to pay incense every year.

This mosque also brought back some treasures from the holy place for sacrifice.

It took sixteen years to complete the construction and is known as the largest mosque in the world.

In the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai's reign, he spent a lot of money to build the world's largest church.

After the Pope was expelled, the old emperor still wanted many of the papal relics in Rome. They were built in a style that completely imitated St. Peter's Basilica.

Bigger than St. Peter's Church.

The emperor wanted to be first in everything and wanted to be the biggest in everything.

The most interesting thing is that after the break between Ming and Europe, there were still papal officials who were going to Ming to visit the Holy Spirit.

After Li Chengxun occupied Denmark.

Instead of burning the church, he built a Mazu temple next to the church. He believed in Mazu, and people who believed in Mazu actually went to the church for pilgrimage first.

Such people are very strange in the eyes of Europeans.

But in Akito's eyes, it's normal.

Some of the soldiers in the Ming army were Christian believers. After going to the church for pilgrimage, they also worshiped Mazu. Those who did not believe in it also went in and kowtow. If it is God, then ask for it. This is the true nature of Ming people.

If a person can travel around the world, he will find that there are temples of the five religions in every corner of the world, and gods can be seen everywhere.

This does not prevent Ming people from exploring the path of science.

The most interesting thing is that the founder of the road to science is Emperor Jingtai.

The emperor also entered the temple.

They who studied scientific atheism actually paid homage to their ancestors first.

Many scholars in Europe who are proficient in Ming Dynasty are still unclear about how many gods there were in the Ming Dynasty.

I guess even Ming people don’t know how many gods we have?

During the Qingming Dynasty in the 62nd year of Jingtai, the old emperor published a book on the gods, which recorded in detail the gods believed in by the people of the Ming Dynasty, which numbered more than 10,000.

All the gods believed in by all walks of life are directly listed in the divinity record.

For example, the founder of cross talk is Dongfang Shuo, the founder of shaved heads is Luo Zhen, the founder of carpentry is Lu Ban, etc.

All are listed in the Book of Deities.

Now that Britain and the Netherlands are on an equal footing, Germany is in the middle of a battle for the right to the throne, and France is alone. Apart from some small tricks, the Ottomans are no match for the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the plague is serious, Ming Dynasty cannot fight back.

But Cai King Zhu Jianya had already begun to annex the territory of the Hungarian Empire.

The Hungarian Empire no longer exists.

A new country is coming out of Eastern Europe, Cai.

But Eastern Europe was too chaotic for Zhu Jianya to eat alone. Besides, he didn't want to be neighbors with the ambitious Da Chu and Da Qi.

In order to satisfy the ambitions of these two countries, he planned to give some pieces of land to Chu and Qi, so that they could appoint vassal kings and establish a small country, which would serve as a buffer zone for the three countries.

Dachu originally wanted to take the opportunity to annex Croatia, but the plague was raging and the opportunity was missed.

But Da Chu's current energy is on torturing the British.

Chen Guo hated the British so much that after the British were laid low, Chen Guo sent troops to bombard London with cannons every day. London was bombarded every day. The Emperor was used to it. He couldn't hear cannons for a day, and he still felt uncomfortable.

Anyway, if you bomb outside, I will reinforce the city wall inside and just treat it as a noise.

He also sent someone to contact Chu State, hoping that Chu State would come forward to normalize diplomacy between Britain and Chen. Zhu Youtang was so bad, just waiting to take advantage.

Zhu Jianzhen is a spoiled child.

As long as he can't get it, he will destroy it.

You cannot govern a country with a childish attitude.

Zhu Youtang knew very well that the more fierce the fight between Chen and Ying, the more advantages Chu would take.

Sure enough, in the 62nd year of Jingtai, the British sent envoys and were willing to cede land territory to the Chu State, as long as the Chu State protected the English mainland from being attacked again.

During this period, Zhu Youzhang was deducing the price of completely annexing Britain.

Do more harm than good.

Britain's terrain dictates that it is impossible to achieve a quick victory, and it is very likely to enter the quagmire of war. It is better to give up as soon as possible and annex Britain bit by bit.

In the end, the two countries signed an agreement, and Britain ceded land territory to Chu State, and Chu State came forward to mediate the diplomatic relations between Chen and Britain.

With the Chu State further transferring its interests, Chen State obtained Normandy in France.

Chen and Chu each sent a prince to succeed the vassal in Normandy.

This territory was too far away from the mainland of the two countries, so the only option was for the sons to succeed the vassal.

However, France does not agree.

This territory originally belonged to France.

It was given to Britain as a ploy.

Now that Britain has sold it to Dachu, France immediately sent troops to regain its territory, and the three countries of Chen, Chu, and France faced off in the Normandy area.

War is about to break out.

Zhu Jianzhen is not a good guy either. There is a confrontation here, so he sends artillery to continue bombarding London.

London was confused and could only look for Zhu Youtang.

Zhu Youtang said that France was blocking it unless the UK was willing to leave the European Union.

The British Emperor scolded the King of Chu for being dishonest.

In fact, he is not a good guy. He used a piece of land territory to let France come in to join the war.

Don't make fun of anyone, it's not a good thing.

Chen Guo still bombarded London.

This time Chu also sent troops to bombard London.

The Emperor had no choice but to negotiate with France, believing that this territory had been ceded to Britain, and now that Britain had transferred it to Chu, the legal basis existed.

The French Emperor was holding his breath at this time.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang appeared in the country, and the duke family couldn't take their eyes away from the throne. It was all Zhu Youtang's fault.

Zhu Youtang is definitely a European arsonist.

Light fires everywhere.

Now that the Ottoman plague is serious, he no longer goes to the Ottomans to grab territory, but instead grabs the French territory. Whoever is a neighbor to such a person will be unlucky.

When the Three Kingdoms confronted each other.

Xing Wang Zhu Youqi actually sent people to lobby. He wanted to seal his son in Normandy, and was willing to give Chen and Chu enough benefits to purchase this land.

No one expected that King Xing was so ambitious.

Zhu Jianzhen was also thinking about whether this territory was good or not, but France would never let it go easily. A war between the two countries would not be good for Chen Guo.

Zhu Youtang also thought this way. Chu's current goal is the Balkan Peninsula. Occupying this territory and provoking France are really not worth the gain.

I would rather talk to Zhu Youqi.

Zhu Youyi was actually willing to give up Xingguo and exchange a stable Xingguo for Normandy in France. The key place was occupied by four families.

Zhu Youtang was worried that King Xing could not defeat the French emperor, so he wrote a letter to advise him not to take risks.

But Zhu Youqi had his own considerations.

His eldest son Zhu Houcong was very smart and very similar to him.

He, Zhu Youji, was not willing to be a small African vassal king.

He wanted a broader world, to try his luck in Europe, and to tear off a piece of fat from France. I believe the emperor would support him.

Having been in Europe for half his life, he knew very well that there were only two essential territories in Europe, one in the hands of France and the other in the hands of Germany.

The old emperor suddenly gave in, which frightened him.

Zhu Youtang also grew up in the palace when he was a child. He was no stranger to the old emperor. Like Zhu Youtang, he was close to the old emperor and had no good impression of the prince.

Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the old emperor was still alive.

Maybe, he will become the great emperor of Western Europe, Xingguo will become Daxing, and he may also compete with Dachu in the future.

Zhu Youqi thought very clearly that if he stayed in North Africa, he would always have to look at the face of Chu and would never become a powerful country.

As transportation became more and more developed, it provided convenient conditions for Dachu to unify the Mediterranean region.

Zhu Youtang was a very ambitious emperor.

Rather than sit in the feudal state and wait for death, it is better to go to Western Europe.

Therefore, he wrote back to Zhu Youtang, saying that he was determined. Even if he made the wrong choice, he would only go to the Kingdom of Chu to be a free prince and have no regrets in his life.

Eventually, Xingguo and Chenchu ​​changed vassals.

Xingguo was transferred to the Normandy region of France. Xingguo's original kingdom was divided into two and handed over to the princes of Chen and Chu to succeed.
