Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 695 Afterword

In May, when heavy machine guns and armored trucks appeared in Longchuan, the fate of the rebels seemed to be sealed.

In the ensuing Battle of Luchuan and the Battle of Ganges, twenty armored trucks entered the land of no one.

As long as the artillery positions of the rebels are destroyed, the armored trucks will crush the entire battlefield with a nearly invincible posture.

Even if some rebels try to blow up the truck by throwing grenades at the bottom of the armored vehicle, their effect is at best to change a few tires. In the next war, armored vehicles will still appear on the battlefield.

On June [-]th, Yue Zhongqi led an army to capture the city of Bengal on the Ganges, and the leader of the rebel army, Mo Sanlun, drew his sword and committed suicide.

On July [-], the Ming army recovered the four provinces of Tianzhu, and the rebels were completely wiped out.

This incident was recorded by the national history officials at the time as the "Moliu Rebellion", and this rebellion led to the large political defeat of the officials of the two parties, as well as the population of more than [-] in Luchuan, Shannan and other five provinces displaced.

The failure of the two parties was not because they were stupid, but because the two parties were unpopular.

Seeing that the New Deal was unstoppable, many former officials of the two parties changed their positions one after another and supported the "Shaoxing New Deal" they had opposed.

But even so, many officials who were deeply involved with Jiang Ding and Qin Quyi were arrested and imprisoned.

In the first month of the fourth year of Shaoqing, according to statistics from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, the Ministry of Officials, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple, 12 officials were arrested in the past year alone.

In addition, as many as 24 officials were dismissed.

The [-] reserve officials who had accumulated and the [-] reserve officials selected by Enke last year took office one after another, and a large number of civilian officials entered the officialdom.

These are just what happened in the officialdom. In addition to the normal officialdom, there were also three movements in the military and the people.

The Three Righteousness Movement in the army was thoroughly carried out. Of the more than [-] officers and generals who participated in the assessment, more than [-] failed to pass the assessment, and the transfer assessment was extremely unqualified.

After spot-checking a few unqualified papers, Emperor Shaoqing even said angrily that "these people are using the lives of soldiers as a stepping stone for their own experience".

On the fifth day of May, Emperor Shaoqing established the "Five Armies Supervision Institute", appointed Li Ziren as the capital censor, and conducted a thorough investigation of the officers who failed the assessment, found out him and the people behind him, and confiscated his family property and exiled him. Ten years of reform through labor in the province.

In the same month, the Ministry of Household Affairs established the Industrial and Commercial Supervision Bureau, focusing on monitoring whether state-owned and private factories complied with the policies in the "Shaoqing New Deal".

In June, Emperor Shaoqing abolished Huangdian and divided the stores and factories under Huangdian into categories.

In July, after discussing with the cabinet, Emperor Shaoqing decided to set up 36 commercial banks, including National Steel, National Weaving, National Salt, and National Petroleum.

This approach has greatly weakened the power of state-owned factory officials, limited the scope for them to abuse their power, and increased the cost of corruption.

As for the folks, Emperor Shaoqing selected the "subsidy" policy based on the policies in the "Five-Year Plan (24)" left by King Wen of Qi during the Tianqi period.

Township Huangdian was changed to "Daming Supply and Marketing Cooperative", and the state subsidized one-third of the price of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural supplies.

For example, the current price of a bag of 150 catties of chemical fertilizer is 120 renminbi, and the cost price is [-] renminbi, so the imperial court will subsidize [-] renminbi to reduce the price to [-] renminbi for sale.

In this way, farmers can reduce the cost of about [-] yuan in planting an acre of land.

Forty essays may not seem like much, but this is just the beginning. If it is effective, the imperial court will follow up.

Zhu Bohai's series of reform policies greatly eased the class conflicts and life pressure within the Ming Dynasty.

However, it is worth mentioning that when Ming Dynasty carried out the "Shaoxing New Deal", many things worthy of attention happened in Europe.

In the first year of Shaoqing, the British Navy saw Qi’s steam engine ship during daily patrols, and thus revealed a mysterious corner of the Ming Dynasty’s suzerainty system.

At the same time, in order not to face annihilation in Dingguo's next war, the Northern Alliance compiled the history of many Northern Wars into books and continuously distributed them in Europe.

Through these books, many countries learned about the military situation of Ming Dynasty, and then began to carry out research on rear-loading guns.

The Holy Roman Empire, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Denmark and other countries successively established universities such as Vienna, Berlin, Madrid, and Libens, focusing on the research of rear-loading firearms and steam engines.

At this time, Britain already had a steam water extractor and an atmospheric steam engine, so they appointed Savery and Newcomen, who invented the water extractor and atmospheric steam engine, to study the steam engine, and paid [-] pounds a month as their salary.

It seems that because of worry and fear of the military strength of Ming Dynasty and Qi State, Europe has been abnormally silent in the following years, and all countries are avoiding war.

Due to the lessons learned by the United Kingdom, countries did not dare to issue banknotes, but continued to use silver coins.

When the Northern Alliance's muzzle-loading rifles and miniature cartridges began to spread, countries rushed to follow suit.

When the "Mo Liu Rebellion" broke out in Ming Dynasty, they were also actively digging out talents from various feudal states.

For Daming, the students who graduated from middle school are just ordinary people, but for other countries, the middle school students of Daming and its vassal states are remarkable researchers.

In May of the fourth year of Shaoqing, a team of 27 people including Newcastle, Savery, and foreign bachelor Feng Cheng successfully developed a separate condenser, which made Britain go a step further in steam engine research.

At the same time, when the news spread, the Imperial Guards stationed in Europe of the Ming Dynasty got the information and immediately sent the news back to China.

In July, Ming Dynasty issued a policy of "prohibiting nationals from entering and leaving countries except the Ming Dynasty's vassal system", and ordered all the people in Europe to return to Daming, and those who violated their place of origin would be removed.

Under the call of this policy, a large number of Ming students returned to Daming.

According to Newton's statistics, the number of Daming people in the UK was as high as 740 before July, but it dropped to 54 after July, and it is still declining.

In order to retain these "scientific researchers", countries have offered high prices to keep them.

Among them, Feng Cheng, who developed a separate condenser for the United Kingdom, was even offered a sky-high price of 500 taels of silver per month.

You must know that the British finances at this time were only more than 570 million taels, and Feng Cheng's annual salary was as high as 6000 taels of silver, accounting for one-thousandth of Britain's annual income.

Apart from Feng Cheng, the others were also offered exorbitant salaries ranging from one hundred to three hundred.

In front of these salaries, they seem to have forgotten that they are the people of Ming Dynasty, but stayed in the local area with their families wholeheartedly.

This situation does not only exist in the UK, but also in European countries.

Upon hearing the news, Ming was preparing to impose sanctions on other countries, but he didn't want the two disasters to break Ming's preparations.

In May of the fifth year of Shaoqing, a magnitude 8.7 earthquake broke out in Chuqiu Province (Chile), Qi State, and more than [-] people were affected.

The tsunami triggered by the earthquake reached Yingzhou Province of the Ming Dynasty one month later, causing [-] coastal residents in Yingzhou to be affected.

Before the disaster was over, on August [-]th, a strong earthquake occurred in Shuntian Prefecture.

Before the earthquake, there was a violent storm, followed by an earthquake, which shook the tables and chairs and broke the utensils. The houses in the Forbidden City collapsed seriously, the inner and outer courts were damaged, and a corner of the Huangji Hall collapsed.

Since Beijing was already a huge population city of 200 million people at this time, the number of people affected by the disaster reached [-].

Shaoqing Emperor Zhu Bohai and the civil and military officials in Beijing all lived in temporary tents set up on Chang'anmen Square, and did not dare to go home to govern and rest.

The panic caused by the earthquake even aroused the worries of officials large and small who sent troops abroad. Zhu Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, even went to Shu, suggesting that the capital should be moved back to Nanjing on the grounds of the earthquake during the Tianqi period and this earthquake.

In this regard, Emperor Shaoqing Zhu Bohai hesitated, but in the end he still did not decide to move the capital.

For the next ten days, aftershocks continued in Beijing, but there were no casualties after all.

On August [-], after the earthquake passed, Emperor Shaoqing issued an order to appease the victims, and sent craftsmen to repair any houses that collapsed, and strictly prohibited officials and craftsmen from asking for money from the people.

In October, Emperor Shaoqing decreed that the people who stayed in Europe, Ottoman and other countries would have their native places removed.

In March of the sixth year of Shaoqing, the Holy Roman Empire signed the Vienna Treaty of Mutual Assistance with Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Portugal.

In May, the laying of the Xijing city tram line was completed and the tram began to run.

In September, Sun Jiagan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, went to the shuffle, saying that the four provinces of Tianzhu and Luchuan had returned to the situation before the "Moliu Rebellion".

In the twelfth lunar month, the Qishui Power Station in Qi State was completed, with an annual power generation capacity of 500 million kwh, which can be used to light up [-] street lamps in Xijing City throughout the year and maintain the operation of the tram line in Xijing City throughout the year.

In the first month of the seventh year of Shaoqing, Modong and Beishan suffered a heavy snowstorm, and more than 15 livestock froze to death, and the cabinet allocated [-] taels of money to comfort them.

In April, Ma Shangquan of the Daming Military Academy invented the world's first panning camera and the world's first color photo.

Therefore, Shaoqing Emperor Zhu Bohai was the first Ming emperor to have a color photo.

In July, Zhu Yicheng, Lieutenant of Qi Guo Chengshan, entered the Academy of Sciences as a bachelor.

In September, Zhu Yicheng developed the phonograph and recorded the world's first record himself, even though he is tone deaf...

On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Jianhuan, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, drove into the courtyard wall of a residential building. Although he claimed to be the grandson, the residents and government officials did not believe his identity, so they took him to the Wanping Yamen for detention. Five hundred coins for repairing the courtyard wall.

In March of the eighth year of Shaoqing, the Ming Dynasty implemented the "Currency Act" and began to recycle large-value silver coins in the market, and only kept copper coins of one to ten pennies.

In July, Dingguo and Mongolia launched the fifth western expedition, mobilizing [-] troops.

Upon hearing the news, Sweden and Tsarist Russia asked Denmark and the Holy Roman Empire for help, and the two countries sent 12 troops to support the Northern Alliance.

In September, a heavy snowstorm broke out in Eastern Europe, and the Dingmeng Allied Forces retreated.

In Dongyue, the news that "the emperor's heir is still alive" spread in Yingzhou area, but it was quickly detected by Jin Yiwei, and more than [-] people who spread the news were arrested and exiled.

In February of the ninth year of Shaoqing, the State of Qi replaced the Xijing Subway with an electric train.

In May, Zhou Dong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, went to the meeting and expounded the industrial situation of Qi and Daming.

Among them, Daming produced 500 million tons of pig iron, 600 million tons of steel, 3000 million tons of coal, 5000 million tons of grain, and 600 million kWh of electricity.

The output of Qi State is 200 million tons of pig iron, 600 million tons of steel, 800 million tons of coal, 400 million tons of grain, and [-] million kwh of electricity.

If counting the population and per capita income, the national power of Qi is about [-]% of that of Ming.

But even so, there has never been any restriction on the passage of immigrants from the country to the country.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, in the seventh year of Shaoqing, Guochao immigrated 150 million to Qi State, a huge number, equal to the national population of some counties.

Zhou Dong believes that since the national strength of the Qi State is already so strong, the country can suspend the immigration channel of the Qi State and increase the immigration of other feudal states with a high proportion of natives.

His sarcasm aroused the attention of the officials in the temple, but Shaoqing Emperor Zhu Bohai put the matter on hold for the time being, and ordered to summon Qi Shizi Zhu Bomu, trying to discuss the matter with Zhu Bomu in detail.

In mid-June, Zhu Bomu arrived in the capital to discuss the matter with Zhu Bohai at Yuntai Gate.

On June 27, Zhu Bomu returned to Qi State, and Ming Dynasty announced that the Qi immigration channel would be suspended from the first day of the first month of next year.

After the incident was made public, the sales volume of Da Ming Pao in the current period reached more than [-] million copies. People at home and abroad are very concerned about this incident.

In July, Daming introduced Qiguo trams, and planned to build new tram lines in Beijing, Nanjing, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Wuchang, Chengdu, Kunming, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Guangzhou and other cities.

In October, the Ministry of Household Affairs reported the population of India's Sidang, Kunlun, and the Middle East. Among them, India's Sidang was the largest, with a total of 6000 million people.

Followed by the Kunlun vassal states, with a total of more than [-] million people.

Finally, there are the four vassal states in the Middle East, with a total of more than [-] million people.

Zhou Dong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, believes that there are often rebellions in the four feudal domains in the Middle East, because nearly [-]% of the people in the country are natives, so it is necessary to increase the immigration of the four feudal domains.

In the same month, Shaoqing Emperor Zhu Bohai Zhu wrote a memorandum, setting no restrictions on the immigration policies of the four countries.

On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhu Cheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, reported on the current situation of officials from the "two parties" who opposed the Shaoqing New Deal.

After four years of investigation, the two parties have involved as many as 32 officials, spread across the military, government, and civilian circles, including their relatives, and more than [-] million people have been implicated.

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Shaoqing Zhu Bohai issued an order to exile all these two million people to the four feudal clans in the Middle East.

At the Zhengdan Dachao Meeting on the first day of the first lunar month in the ninth year of Shaoqing, Zhou Dong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said that after the split of Huangdian, the profits of state-owned factories and chambers of commerce increased significantly.

Throughout the eighth year of Shaoqing, Guochao received 400 million taels of net profit from the state-owned chamber of commerce alone, and the annual revenue was more than [-] million taels, which was an increase of more than [-] million taels of fiscal revenue compared with before the New Deal. income.

In July, Gao Quan, a medical bachelor of Yunnan University, discovered opium poppies in Chelifu, and extracted the drug morphine from them.

In September, Gao Quan extracted quinine from the bark of the local cinchona tree and its congeners in Yunnan.

Both of these two medicines played an important role in promoting the medicine of Ming Dynasty, so Emperor Shaoqing canonized Gao Quan as Uncle Kaihua.

In October, the Qi National Academy of Sciences established the first Antarctic scientific research station in Antarctica, which is mainly responsible for recording astronomy and Antarctic glaciers.

In the twelfth lunar month, Zhan Qianyun, a bachelor of electrical engineering in the Ming Dynasty, published his research on electromagnetism as a thesis "Qianyun Lines of Force".

In March of the tenth year of Shaoqing (1735), Zhan Qianyun published the paper "On the Lines of Force in Physics".

In May, Nan Qianyi, an electrical scientist in Qi State, published "The Dynamic Theory of Electromagnetic Field", and made a comprehensive summary of the work of his predecessors and himself, expressing the theory of electromagnetic field in a concise, symmetrical and perfect mathematical form.

In June, Nan Qianyi and Zhan Qianyun met at the Beizhoufu Exchange Office and started a ten-year joint research. In the 20th year of Shaoqing, they jointly compiled the "Nan Zhan Equations", which became the main basis of classical electrodynamics.

In July, Qi's annual power generation exceeded [-] million kWh, and electricity and lights began to enter the homes of Qi's people.

The emergence of electricity has made the people of Qi State have a strong interest in science.

In the twelfth lunar month, Dingguo launched another western expedition. This is the sixth western expedition since Dingguo was founded. But at this time, European countries have signed mutual assistance treaties, so this western expedition did not benefit Dingguo.

In March of the 11th year of Shaoqing, Hongkuor, king of Shunning, Mongolia, died in Harahelin (Kiev).

Hong Kuo'er made his eldest son Meng Kuo'er the eldest son before his death, but the other three sons refused to accept it.

In this context, civil strife broke out in Mongolia, which was divided into four.

After hearing the news, Emperor Shaoqing sent Nian Gengyao to lead an army to suppress the rebellion, which ended in July of that year.

In May of the 12th year of Shaoqing, Feng De, a bachelor of Qi State Academy of Sciences, used a small steam engine to drive the compression system, so that ammonia was repeatedly compressed and evaporated to produce refrigeration, and fluorine was used as the refrigerant.

In June, Feng De designed and manufactured an industrial refrigerator for all the bachelors of the Academy of Sciences to use.

This technology has attracted the attention of Wang Hui, the dean of the Academy of Sciences, and Feng De has set up a separate research team to study refrigeration refrigerators.

In September, Feng De improved and miniaturized industrial refrigerators.

In October, Feng De manufactured the world's first artificially refrigerated domestic refrigerator.

This kind of refrigerator was praised by Zhu Bomu, the supervisor of the state, and ten factories were set up in the first month of the next year.

In July of the same year, Wang Ganmin, a bachelor of the Ming Military Academy, developed the world's first electric fan.

In August, the Armament Academy set up a factory in Taiyuan, with an annual output of about [-] units.

In April of the 13th year of Shaoqing, the power generation capacity of Daming exceeded [-] million kWh. Emperor Shaoqing ordered the establishment of power supply stations in all counties and opened up the quota of electricity.

Like the people of Qi State at the beginning, the people of Ming Dynasty were very curious and interested in products such as bright electric lamps and electric fans.

In May, Xia Zhiyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs of the State of Qi, wrote a letter stating that in the past five years, more than 56 cars, 80 two-wheeled motorcycles, and [-] three-wheeled motorcycles have been sold to the people. Cars and motorcycles have entered the There are a large number of people's homes, but Zhu Bomu, the supervisor of the country, is not satisfied.

In October, Hua Jikang, Minister of Agriculture of the Ming Dynasty, said that the grain yield per mu of Guochao had increased to an average of 380 five catties, which was beyond mention.

On the seventh day of the first winter month, Tian Wenjing, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, died in his post at the age of 76, with the posthumous title of Wenzhong.

After his death, Emperor Shaoqing appointed Zhang Tingyu, the second assistant, as the first assistant, and Li Fu, the cabinet minister, as the second assistant.

During the two-man rule, the remnants of the two parties in the temple were constantly attacked, officials' salaries, workers' wages, and soldiers' salaries were increased, the folk atmosphere was opened up, and the pressure on people's lives dropped sharply.
