"Your Majesty, don't say that you rely on me. It's my honor to be able to share your worries and solve your problems!”
Yang Shiqi waved his hand humbly.
Zhu Weichu did not want to continue this topic and asked softly,""Was the Empress Dowager buried with the previous emperor?"
Yang Shiqi didn't dare to say anything else.
Fourteen years ago, Empress Dowager Li and the Li Clan had committed a heinous crime of regicide. It wouldn't be too much to dig out the eighteen generations of Li Clan ancestors and whip their corpses.
As the mastermind, Empress Dowager Li was not qualified to be buried with Emperor Hongwu.
Moreover, the plan to restore the country had already begun. When the restoration was successful, the coffins of the seven emperors and empresses on the Flower Island would be moved to the Imperial Mausoleum in Yanjing for burial.
Empress Dowager Li had committed a grave sin. Even if the Emperor agreed, the civil and military officials would not agree.
"It depends on your decision, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Weichu turned his head and looked deeply at Yang Shiqi. He roughly knew what the civil and military officials were thinking.
"Before the Empress Dowager died, she ordered to be buried in the Li family ancestral grave at Liangfeng Platform.”
"Yes!"
Yang Shiqi knelt on the ground.
……
Beijing, Forbidden City.
When Zhu Weichu was preparing for war and preparing to launch an expedition, in the Forbidden City, the magnificent palace built by Emperor Yong Le, there was a shocking news that was urgently sent by the Great Britons. It caused an instant sensation, no less than a magnitude 12 earthquake.
The earthquake had shaken the sixty-five-year-old Qianlong Emperor, who had been on the throne for forty-one years. He had been proud of himself, boasting that he had cultivated both civil and martial arts, and had personally created a golden age that had never been seen in history.
The Ming Dynasty was still alive?
Not only did it not perish, but the 24th emperor of the Ming Dynasty also had a steel ship as huge as a mountain. He even sailed to London, razed half of the Port of London to the ground, and forced Great Britain to pay 200,000 catties of gold before leaving?
A terrifying cannon that could kill all humans and animals within a hundred meters and turn them into scorched earth?
When this series of shocking news came, Qianlong's first reaction was that it was impossible, absolutely impossible.
The civil and military officials scoffed. How could there be a steel warship weighing tens of thousands of tons in the world?
However, it was not only Great Britain that sent a military messenger pigeon to send the message from Europe to Central Asia, and then from Central Asia to East Asia. It took only ten days to cross 15,000 kilometers to send this shocking news to Beijing.
France, Portugal, Spain, and other seven European countries also sent the news. Zhu Weichu bombarded London, and the entire European country was trembling in fear. After Zhu Weichu left, they tacitly decided to send the news to the Qing Kingdom.
The whole world knew about the feud between the Ming Empire and the Qing Kingdom. The Qing Kingdom had stolen the Ming Empire's territory and enslaved the gardeners.
Since the Ming Empire had not been destroyed yet, and had established a country overseas and possessed such a terrifying force in secret, it would definitely return to Asia to start a war against the Qing Kingdom.
Therefore, it was necessary to inform the Qing Kingdom in advance to make preparations.
Let's fight. It would be best if both sides were injured. Otherwise, that terrifying giant ship would be like the Sword of Damocles hanging above Ou Zhou's head, making people feel uneasy and uneasy.
Qianlong received many letters in succession, all of which told the same news without exception. He completely believed it.
The Europeans weren't so bored that they would band together to cheat people.
Therefore, it must be true!
After confirming that the Ming Dynasty had not perished and that they still had the steel warships that were described in such a shocking manner, the entire court was shaken and everyone felt threatened.
Late at night, in Yangxin Hall, Qianlong was probably afraid. He couldn't sleep at all. He sat up and flipped through the memorial. This fear was deeply rooted in his soul. Two bad premonitions appeared in his mind. One was that his country was destroyed and his family was destroyed. The other was that his country was also destroyed and his family was destroyed. He was even captured by the Ming army. After being tortured by inhumane torture, he was cut into pieces in the vegetable market.
"Damn it, the heavens are unfair! During the Ming Dynasty, corruption was rampant in the planting of flowers, famine and plague were continuous, and thousands of miles of bones were exposed in the wild without the crowing of a rooster. It was a terrible sight.”
"After the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, after three generations of sage kings, the government is now clear and the country is peaceful. The people live and work in peace and contentment. The north and south of the Yangtze River are singing and dancing.”
"What did the Qing Dynasty do wrong? Why did the Ming thieves rise again?”
Qianlong threw down the memorial, got up, and paced back and forth in the hall, angrily scolding the injustice of the heavens.
In fact, did Qianlong not know that the West was already undergoing an industrial revolution?
I know! It was precisely because he knew that he knew how terrifying the Ming Navy, which even the world's number one naval power feared to the point of being powerless to resist, was.
In fact, the Mianqing nobles had never given up on communicating with the world. They had always been obtaining information and intelligence from other countries, but they deliberately closed their doors to maintain the ignorance of the people.
Since the end of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of missionaries had entered the upper echelons of the Qing court. In the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, there were nearly 80 missionaries living in the court.
On the surface, these people were called Missionaries, but in fact, they were all European scholars.
The German Tang Ruowang presented the new Western calendar book. He was in charge of astronomy and calendar in Shunzhi Dynasty. The belgian Nan Huairen and the Italian Min Mingwo revised the Kangxi Yongnian calendar and explained astronomy and mathematics to Kang Mazi. The Portugal Ando explained the geometric principles of Ethereal to Kangxi.
In addition, the Frenchman Sha Ruyu had made clocks for Emperor Yongzheng, the Germanic Dai Jinxian had introduced Kepler's laws of planetary motion to Qianlong, and the Italian Lang Shining had taught Qianlong how to paint.
Kangxi was probably the best at accepting western advanced culture. He had studied algebra, geometry, astronomy, geography, pharmacology, anatomy, music theory, European philosophy, and even a small amount of Latino, English, French, and Russian. Some of the special terms commonly used in modern mathematics, such as squares, roots, powers, and yuan, were translated by Kangxi.
Qianlong did not have such a strong absorption ability as Kangxi, but he also maintained communication with the outside world. He had always been a pen pal with Louis Sixteen. Before the French Revolution, Qianlong had been preparing to send a delegation to visit France through the coordination of the missionary.
As a result, the French Revolution broke out. Qianlong was frightened and quickly investigated the secret societies in the country. He was pleasantly surprised to find the White Lotus Society.
It wasn't just the Emperor of Miqing who knew about the world's situation. The nobles of Miqing also knew about it. For example, during the Daoguang era, Dahonganeng, the Minister of Military Affairs, asked about the situation in Great Britain. Dahonganeng wrote a 6,000-word memorial without hesitation, explaining in detail the geography, politics, economy, and other details of Great Britain.
The Mite-people studied by themselves while preventing the gardeners from learning about this information. They even prohibited the gardeners from contacting foreigners. They prohibited foreigners from translating books and planting flowers. The gardeners had no chance to come into contact with the modern world.
So, what was there to be isolated from the outside world? The higher-ups of the Miqing had always been clear about the situation. They had always locked down the flower-growing people. The country that locked down the flower-growing people had always been the flower-growing people. The higher-ups of the Miqing had been clear-headed for hundreds of years.
They knew about the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, machinery and steam engines, and the basic situation of Western Europe.
But so what if he knew? They couldn't allow these powerful productivity to enter the flowers. Once the flower gardeners learned these skills, they would threaten their rule.
Only by letting the commoners live forever in a state of half-hunger and half-ignorance could the commoners work hard for survival and have no time to think or resist, obediently being slaves for the rest of their lives.
The 276 years of rule had deeply polluted the great flower civilization. They were really stupid, bad, and selfish!
"Lord Wansui, Lord Ah Gui, Lord Fu Longan, Lord Yu Minzhong requests an audience!”
The sharp voice of the eunuch on duty rang out. Qianlong frowned.
"Pass!"
