Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 348 Calling the Crown Prince Back to Beijing

The Junker nobles are criticized in later generations. They are a group of mobilizing forces, but in this era, the Junker nobles definitely represent advanced productivity and an advanced system. They are the political system that best matches this era.It can be said that the evolution of the monarchy into the Junker aristocracy is progress.

The Junker landlord class was originally the aristocratic landlord class in Prussia.Junker (Junker, transliteration of German Junker), means "son of the landlord" or "little master".

Originally refers to the children of nobles without the title of knights, and later generally refers to the Prussian nobles and big landowners. Since the 16th century, he has monopolized important military and political positions for a long time and has mastered the leadership of the country. Capitalization began in the middle of the 19th century and it became a semi-feudal aristocratic landlord.It was the pillar of the reactionary forces after the union of Prussia and the German states in the second half of the 19th century, and the main supporter of Germany's communist policy.

After the end of the Second World War, the anti-government alliance group (especially the Soviet Union) carried out large-scale economic and social reforms in order to eradicate the German Communist Party from the root, and nationalized the land of the Junker landlords. , or assigned to small farmers for cultivation, the Junker class has since died out.

Junker landlords refer to the nobles who applied to the king and obtained the ownership of the land after obtaining land through war. This closely combined the interests of the nobles with the interests of the country. Prussia (the predecessor of Germany) made a fortune in this way, and eventually unified the whole of Germany, and even launched a war. war!However, due to the long-term monopoly of military and political positions, he has economically controlled most of the land.

Looking at the past from this perspective, it fit perfectly with the current Ming Dynasty. The Junker landlord class was extremely conservative politically, advocating autocratic monarchy, advocating force, and advocating protectionism for agriculture. Its representative was Bismarck.

When the Junker aristocratic politics develops to the end, it will be monopoly capitalism, that is, the stage of imperialism. It adopts capitalist methods to manage agriculture and invest in industry, and has common interests with the bourgeoisie, and expands its military preparations for them and launches aggressive wars abroad.The prosperity of Germany was promoted by these Junker nobles. The combination of the Junker landlord class and the monopoly bourgeoisie made German imperialism particularly aggressive abroad.

Going backward is the road of military state monopoly capitalism, which can be said to be the most feasible and advanced system at present.

Zhu Houzhao has been promoting this matter, and the labor dispatch company established this time is basically the embodiment of this policy.

Once Liaodong and Northwest realized the benefits of external expansion, then this expansion would not stop. As for whether Daming would develop into a war madman in the future, Zhu Houzhao felt that he had no control over it.Junker politics can at least support Ming to survive the great era of global colonization, and even become a trend-setter in the era of global colonization.

Unlike countries like Britain, France, Spain, and Portugal, the size and national character of Ming Dynasty will explode with unprecedented power under the impetus of Junker politics.

Anyway, Zhu Houzhao thinks that once Junker politics spreads in Daming, there will be basically no resistance around it. This is the external expansion encouraged by capital. It's the monster of the age.Once this monster is full of expansion and runs wildly, Zhu Houzhao doesn't know where the end will be, which he can't foresee.

We must know that in the global colonial expansion, the hegemony of various countries is constantly rising and declining, but once a country like Ming Dynasty rises, its size is really difficult to decline.

As for the war, if you want to win Ming Dynasty, count on the countries in Southeast Asia?Counting on the Northwest Grassland?Or are you counting on Europe's strength?From Zhu Houzhao's point of view, nothing happened.

Once Da Ming runs wildly and clicks on the technology tree of the Industrial Revolution, the number of troops that Da Ming can erupt will definitely scare many people.You must know that in this era, Daming has a population of [-] million. With such a population base, Zhu Houzhao himself can't say how far Ming can go, but at that time he probably died for a long time, so let's do whatever!

Although it's not "I don't care about the flood after I die", but my foundation is here, and if the ship capsizes later, it has nothing to do with me.

Those imperialist countries in the later generations have experienced two world wars, and they fought in a mess. They are still developed countries, whether it is Africa where black slaves were sold, or Asia that was ravaged, let alone revenge, you are still being bullied Zhu Houzhao felt that even if the hegemony of Ming Dynasty declined, it should not be reduced to the level of the previous life.

Even if he had fallen to the level of his previous life, wouldn't he have risen in his previous life?Zhu Houzhao has confidence in the civilization of this land and the people of this land.

Zhu Houzhao had almost sorted out his thoughts, and the expression on his face immediately relaxed. He rested and leaned on the couch, quietly thinking about his next plan.

"Your Highness, Tang Bohu brought someone here." Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side and said respectfully.

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback, who did Tang Bohu bring?
Turning to look at Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao asked, "Who is it?"

"His Highness, he is a Taoist priest." Liu Jin said hastily.

Taoist priest?It seems that the person I was waiting for is here!
"Let them in." Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately. Sure enough, there are still smart people in this World Mountain!
Not long after, Tang Bohu walked in from the outside, followed by a young Taoist priest, who looked about 30 years old, with a thin figure and dark complexion, he could tell at a glance that this was a Taoist priest walking around.Many thoughts flashed through Zhu Houzhao's mind, who is this person?Can he count?

You must know that in Taoism, age is a very important factor. It does not mean that young people are not good, or that seniority is considered, but that older age represents higher seniority.

"I see Your Highness." After Tang Bohu saluted Zhu Houzhao, he introduced, "Your Highness, this is Fuyang Zi of the Longmen School."

The young Taoist hurriedly took a few steps forward, and said respectfully, "Xiaodao Fuyangzi, please refer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said, "Fuyangzi, what do you mean by asking to see me?"

"Returning to Your Highness, Xiaodao came here to see His Highness at the order of my teacher. My teacher wants to see His Highness Prince Dan, but my teacher is far away in Qingcheng, and it will take some time for me to dare to come." Fu Yangzi bowed quickly. .

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then asked, "Who is your teacher?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the master of the family is Zhang Jingding, whose name is Wuwu, and he is the fifth generation master of the Longmen School." Fu Yangzi reported his name.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, in Mount Qingcheng?Qingcheng faction?
