Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 471: Post-war recovery: Zhu Qiyu’s strategic thoughts come true one by one ()

Zhang Juzheng could not rely on this strategy.

Revitalizing the economy requires domestic demand and the expansion of external markets.

During the Paris peace talks, it was determined that all countries should open their markets fairly and restore their pre-war economies.

But Zhang Juzheng hoped that Ming products would flood the global market and crowd out all other factories, allowing Ming products to regain their dominance in the world.

To this end, a price war and then a trade war were launched.

The price war is very simple. The price of low-end goods is lower. It will take five to ten years to squeeze out the factories in other countries and complete the brand acquisition.

The imperial courts of various countries were dissatisfied, but Ming Dynasty was not afraid. This was the reason for the war.

Whoever blocks Ming Dynasty’s economic recovery will be the enemy in the next stage.

For mid-to-high-end products, we will further refine our research and use monopoly technology to dominate, leaving behind all high-end products from other countries for an era. They can only follow suit.

The trade war is also simple. Ming Dynasty wants to monopolize foreign trade and make the world a dumping ground for Ming Dynasty products.

Ming Dynasty did not mind using military means.

After World War II, the world structure changed again, and the Ming Dynasty still held a dominant position. The Ming Dynasty ruled the world for a full seventy years.

Countries around the world challenged Ming's rule twice, but neither of them succeeded.

The key is that the person in charge of the cabinet now is Zhang Juzheng, a strongman from the main war faction.

Zhang Juzheng is going to fight a foreign trade monopoly war and is ready to start a war at any time. He will fight in any country.

This is also the voice of the people.

The people were generally dissatisfied with the peace treaty of World War II and would inevitably support local wars.

Zhang Juzheng must get war reparations to repay the people's money.

He didn't dare let people's money go down the drain.

Water can carry a boat and it can overturn it.

This is the hard-earned money of 6 billion people. It is really wasted. The imperial court will overthrow in minutes. There is no other possibility.

And this emotion can be fully exploited, which is also the basis for fighting foreign wars.

After Zhang Juzheng took office, he began drastic reforms.

Emperor Wanli, who was sitting on the throne, stared at Zhang Juzheng.

Someone should have guessed Emperor Longqing's sacrifice. After all, it was not something that had been planned for a long time, but was a temporary decision made after Emperor Longqing got lung cancer.

People who can sit in this seat see far more than ordinary people. They have more than just their own brains and are surrounded by a strong team of staff.

Take Zhang Juzheng as an example, he had hundreds of staff around him, and Emperor Longqing had even more people around him, including Feng Bao, who was one of his staff.

Feng Bao was trained by Emperor Jiajing and handed over to Emperor Longqing before his death. Emperor Longqing trusted Feng Bao very much over the years, including the last incident, which Feng Bao helped plan.

Feng Bao also knew how to repay his kindness, and after the death of Emperor Longqing, he also followed him.

Emperor Longqing wanted to leave a clean Ming Dynasty to Emperor Wanli, so he took all the blame underground and let the world call him Emperor Longqing.

As long as Emperor Wanli could recover economically after the war, he would have made great contributions to the country, and the throne of the Ming Dynasty could be passed on.

In today's great era, the inheritance of the throne is an extremely difficult matter.

The era itself was in conflict with the throne, and the emperor system was at odds with the great era. When voices emerged from the people to abolish the emperor system, Emperor Longqing felt panicked.

Therefore, use your last moments to preserve the inheritance of the throne and preserve the immortality of the Ming Dynasty.

Want to do this.

The royal family needs a saint, a political strongman.

His son Emperor Wanli probably doesn't have this ability, but he has two very outstanding grandsons. As long as he trains his two grandsons well and the Ming Dynasty produces another saint like Emperor Shizu, the Ming Dynasty Guo Zuo can at least continue to pass on smoothly for another hundred years.

Therefore, he sacrificed himself and died in infamy.

Leave a good name to his son Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli accumulated a reputation throughout his life, and he passed it on to his two sons, one as emperor and the other as a saint, who together supported the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhengde instilled the good habit of clan friendship into the Ming Dynasty.

In today's great era, clan members need to join together to stay warm and face the impact of the tide of the times together.

The emperor no longer guarded against the clan, but stood with the clan to prevent the withdrawal of the emperor system. While developing, he also wanted to consolidate his power.

In fact, the simplest way is to close the country, withdraw from the Ming Dynasty, continue to be emperor, and then destroy it after a few decades, and let the floods flood the sky after death.

but.

The ancestral motto of Emperor Shizu is to move forward and not to retreat.

Even a three-year-old child can recite these ancestral precepts.

Even if the emperor, who holds great power, wants to isolate the country, he will be overthrown in minutes, because the ancestral precepts clearly state that the people have the right to raise voices and change national policies.

Zhu Qiyu worked hard to let public opinion go among the people. While weakening the power of civil servants, he also weakened the imperial power so that the imperial power could listen to the voices of the people at the bottom.

After all, the authorities are obsessed, and the people below will not know how to govern the country, but they have ideas, and these ideas may give the rulers a flash of inspiration and make more correct decisions.

Granted, this limits imagination.

But this shows that Emperor Shizu does not trust future generations. He knows these rich young men too well. They are all big gamers and they will shine if given a little sunshine.

Therefore, we must move forward, we must consolidate power, and we must not lose the throne.

This will test the hard interpretation ability of later generations of monarchs.

Sometimes, Emperor Wanli suspected that in the heart of Emperor Shizu, the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty throne seemed to be less important than external development. It seemed that Emperor Shizu was afraid of something. He seemed to know something, but he could not say it out loud.

Looking at many of his national policies, they are all aimed at preventing Ming from secluding itself from the country, preventing Ming from admiring itself, and preventing Ming from no longer moving forward.

There seems to be an unsolvable mystery in his mind, so he has been constructing the top political ecology of the entire country around this mystery.

There are private associations specializing in the study of Emperor Jingtai, and they generally hold a positive attitude towards this statement. The powerful Emperor Jingtai seems to be afraid of something, so he left behind so many iron laws, especially the iron laws of development, which are as high as 23. The most ironclad of all laws.

But the Ming Dynasty has been developing, and the development trend is good, but Emperor Jingtai seems to have been afraid that the Ming Dynasty stopped developing. Emperor Jingtai seems to be pessimistic about the development of the Ming Dynasty, which has interested many scholars. Why was Emperor Jingtai afraid?

Ming Dynasty is already at the top of the world and has a monopoly in all aspects. Why should we be afraid?
Of course, no one can answer this question.

Because Emperor Shizu has been dead for eighty years, and no one can ask him about it.

Emperor Wanli didn't think about his old man. He was thinking about how to let his son follow the path of Emperor Shizu, enlighten the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and pass on the throne for another hundred years.

Emperor Shizu has become a symbol in the hearts of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, and his reputation has surpassed the two emperors Taizu and Taizong.

Emperor Wanli knew very well that Zhang Juzheng had always wanted to replace the emperor system with a responsible cabinet system before the ninth year of Longqing.

But he failed.

It is all because of the legacy that Emperor Shizu left for future generations. Within a hundred years after his death, no one could usurp the Ming Dynasty Zuo.

Therefore, when Zhang Juzheng was activated again, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Juzheng. His senior brother was not a person who would admit defeat. He would definitely attack the imperial system again, but he didn't know what method he would use to attack.

In the blink of an eye, in the eleventh year of Wanli, the post-war recovery of the Ming Dynasty was in good shape.

Zhong fought a naval battle with Zhou, and Ming won with a slight advantage. Ming returned to dominate the Pacific and became the overlord of the Pacific.

The Ming Dynasty leased a trading port from Song and Zheng to develop trade in Oceania.

In fact, it was to suppress Zhou and Xi.

In the twelfth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty fought a naval battle with the North American countries and was defeated. The Ming Dynasty's control over North America became looser.

In the same year, the Ming Dynasty united other countries, used economic means to sanction the North American countries, and alienated them.

In the thirteenth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty leased a permanent military port in Africa and gradually took control of Africa.

The Ming Dynasty's rule over the world became increasingly stable.

Beginning in the ninth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty resumed control of the world. This time, the control was mainly to manage key islands in various continents, establish military ports, deploy heavy troops, and monitor the world.

Except for the failure of naval battles in the Baltic Sea and the North American Pacific, the Ming Dynasty still won naval battles in other regions.

Zhang Juzheng always believed that the Three War was bound to happen. The Three War was the war for the Ming Dynasty to unify the world, and the initiative in the war must be controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

So, monitoring the world is very important.

The establishment of military ports around the world was proposed by Emperor Shizu, and Emperor Xianzong followed suit. However, Emperors Xiaozong and Wuzong both believed that it would be a waste of resources and were unwilling to invest a lot of resources.

There were two world wars in between, but Ming Dynasty did not benefit from it.

Zhang Juzheng believed that it was because of the Ming Dynasty's lax surveillance of the world that it gave other countries an opportunity to take advantage of it.

If the Ming Dynasty's military port could deliver information back to the country in time, the war would not be able to spread to the Ming Dynasty itself.

Therefore, after Zhang Juzheng took power again, the Wanli Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty poured massive resources into military ports around the world.

Zhang Juzheng also has a strategic layout, which is the Yanhai layout.

He admired Emperor Shizu's strategic vision very much.

During the Jingtai Dynasty, Emperor Shizu proposed to build islands within the Yanhai Sea to shorten the distance between the Ming Dynasty and Borneo.

But no one in the future generations cares about this, and they all think it is a waste of resources.

Therefore, the coastal reclamation project was abandoned after 70 years in Jingtai, and the court refused to invest.

In the two world wars, Borneo fell twice, which just shows that the Ming Dynasty was too far away from Borneo and could not be rescued by warships.

The person Zhang Juzheng admired most in his life was Emperor Shizu.

Because many of Shizu's strategic visions have come true to this day, and many of his fantastic ideas have come true one by one after the world has passed eighty years ago.

However, when it was proposed at that time, the imperial court did not pay much attention to it, and neither did the kings of later generations.

But someone in the feudal state listened.

Therefore, during the two world wars, the Ming Dynasty was restrained in every aspect because it did not follow the strategic thinking of Emperor Shizu.

Zhang Juzheng admired his strategic thinking extremely.

The sea of ​​flames fills the sea.

If it had been reclamating the sea for the first eighty years, the Ming Dynasty would have had a lot of strategic islands and could rush to the rescue of Borneo at any time, and Borneo would not have fallen twice.

Including Luzon, Luzon will not be overthrown.

Therefore, starting from the ninth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty began to reclaim the sea and build islands in Yanhai, mainly to build military ports to prevent the Borneo rebellion.

Zhang Juzheng also closed down the whole of East Asia, and Mindanao, Sulawesi, Java, and Sumatra all became Ming territory.

Indeed, these past few years have been a drag.

But from a strategic perspective, there will be no gaps in the southern seas of the Ming Dynasty, and Borneo will not fall again.

but!

If Yanhai does not build islands, other areas will fall.

This is determined by the geographical environment. The capital of the Ming Dynasty is 5300 kilometers away from Java, the farthest place!

How terrible this number is.

Even if there is a high-speed plane, it will take a day to arrive.

It's just too far.

The entire Yanhai is long and boundless. If there is no island to guide the way, the warship may get lost, and even the radar will be useless.

And the Yanhai is the inner sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

There is still a distance of 2000 kilometers to the south. With such a long distance, there are many desert islands in the ocean, and it is easy for radars to get lost.

Therefore, Ming Dynasty built islands and reefs along the way to guide the warships.

Building islands was one of the national policies during the cabinet period of Zhang Juzheng.
