Chapter 77 Is the princess going against Daming?

"Me!"

"There are a lot of things I don't understand!"

"Princess, would you like to hear my question?"

“···”

When Zhu Yuluo said that he would answer several people's questions, the soldiers not only showed no restraint, but raised their hands enthusiastically and started shouting, creating another commotion.

Seeing this, Zhu Yasuo was a little flustered and saw the red lady in the audience looking over with encouragement.

She then used the loudspeaker and loudly shouted: "Please be quiet, everyone! If you have any questions, raise your hands. You are not allowed to speak without my consent!"

Under the influence of the loudspeaker, Zhu Yuyao's clear voice was like the voice of heaven, resounding in the ears of every soldier.

Coupled with the fact that there was also a certain degree of awe for Princess Zhu Aelao's identity, the soldiers quickly became quiet again.

Zhu Yuluo immediately pointed to a soldier in the front row and said: "Soldier, didn't you raise your hand just now? What's the problem?"

At this time, there was a man with a slightly round face and a sparse beard that was not long.

Seeing his colleagues around him looking over, he still couldn't believe it. He pointed at his face and asked, "Me?"

Her voice sounded very young, probably less than twenty years old.

"Yes, that's you." Zhu Yucao said.

"Zhang Ermao, what are you doing standing still? The princess asked you to ask a question, why don't you stand up quickly?" the general next to the man urged, pushing him directly up.

After Zhang Ermao got up passively, he looked around and found that thousands of people were watching. He was so nervous that he could not speak.

The red lady laughed loudly under the high platform: "What? Wasn't it very positive to raise your hands just now? But now you are timid when you stand up?"

The Red Lady not only has prestige in the army, but is also very close to the soldiers.

As soon as she said this, Zhang Ermao's nervousness immediately eased a lot, and he said: "I didn't... I was just thinking about what to ask."

Seeing that the soldier was even more nervous than she was, Zhu Ayao immediately felt less nervous and said with a smile, "You can ask whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you can't ask well."

Zhang Ermao scratched his head and said: "Princess, I saw that the big iron bird flying that day was so scary. Not only could it throw explosives down, but it could also shoot blunderbuss from such a distance.

My mother, those guns look like rain. If they hit someone, their arms and legs will be broken off. It’s too scary.

Aren't those big iron birds sent by gods to punish us Henan people? I'm thinking that we haven't offended God either?"

Zhang Ermao's words immediately aroused a buzz of discussion among the soldiers.

Apparently many soldiers felt the same as Zhang Ermao - the scenes of plane bombing and machine gun fire in the movie shocked them so much that they even caused some riots. Thanks to the generals' timely control, no real trouble occurred.

Zhu Yasuo smiled after hearing this and said: "It seems that when I told you the background of this movie before, this soldier didn't listen.

This movie tells a story that takes place about three hundred years later, so many of the things above that seem strange to you will only appear in the future.

For example, the big iron bird, called an airplane, is actually similar to a kite and was made by craftsmen.

Only three hundred years later, this aircraft became a weapon as frightening as today's cannon.

Therefore, the planes in the movie were not sent by gods, but were made by Japanese people. As for the Japanese, they are what we call Japanese.

Three hundred years later, the Japanese will be like today's slaves, launching a large army to rob our property, wives and daughters, and occupy our land.

It's not like they have gods to help them, it's just that their weapons and army are stronger than the government at that time in the movie.

Like the Jiannu, they are by no means invincible and will die if they are killed."

By the end of the story, Zhu Aao's expression had become very serious, and her tone was extremely firm.

Zhang Ermao was stunned when he heard it. After finally understanding the understandable part, he opened his mouth to ask again.

But Zhu Aonao said first: "Okay, I have already answered this soldier's question. Does anyone have any other questions? Please raise your hand."

This time, the soldiers learned the lesson. Many people raised their hands, but few people shouted.

"Commander over there, what's your problem?" This time, Zhu Aona named a general who looked more elegant.

The general said: "Your Highness, I have also heard people say about the Japanese pirates. Didn't one of the three major expeditions during the reign of Emperor Wanli go to Korea to fight against the Japanese pirates?

In addition, I also know that during the reign of Emperor Jiajing, Japanese pirates repeatedly invaded our Ming Dynasty territory, and were beaten to a pulp by Qi Shaobao.

I don’t understand, why have the Japanese pirates become so powerful after three hundred years? Is it because they have big iron birds?”

"This person knows a lot." Hao Guangming couldn't help laughing when he heard the general question on his mobile phone.

When Zhu Yasuo wanted to answer questions for the soldiers, Hao Guangming would definitely watch and listen to the whole process, and provide information and support at any time.

Otherwise, relying solely on Zhu Yuluo's knowledge may not be able to answer all the questions, nor may the answer be good.

Zhu Yuluo also smiled and said: "Regarding this issue, first of all, I have to correct your mistake.

Japanese pirates are Japanese pirates, not all of them are Japanese, most of them are actually pirates of our Ming Dynasty.

As for the Japanese country, Japan actually refers to an island country east of the Ming Dynasty, and its land area is only two times the size of Henan.

Before the Tang Dynasty, they often sent people to China to pay tribute and learn our cultural knowledge.

But at that time, they did not have a formal country name, so they would say "our country" when paying tribute.

At that time, people in the court did not understand the meaning, and seeing that the Japanese were all very short, they wrote it as "Japanese".

What does this Japanese mean? It means dwarf.

Later, the Japanese people learned more about our Chinese culture and knew that "Japanese" means dwarves. Although they were indeed very short, they still felt insulted and asked to change their names in tributes time and time again.

Finally, during the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, the court could not stand their annoyance and allowed them to change their name to Japan.

However, later on, the name Japan was only used in official documents, and we still refer to it as the Japanese country and Japanese people when we talk about it in daily life."

Having said this, Zhu Aaao paused for a moment to let the soldiers digest the content of these words.

She actually needed some time to digest it, because she had just heard what Hao Guangming said and just paraphrased it.

In fact, these words not only made ordinary soldiers shout that they had gained more knowledge, but also Ming Dynasty officials like Li Yan and Liu Xiaolian, as well as educated and knowledgeable eunuchs like Fang Zhenghua, felt that they had gained more knowledge.

At the same time, they also developed a sense of admiration for Zhu Yurao, or for the prince-in-law who secretly supported Zhu Yurao.

After listening for about half a minute, Zhu Aona continued to speak.

“If you want to talk about why there are scenes in this movie of the Japanese flying planes to bomb and indiscriminately kill our people in Henan, first of all, it is naturally because the weapons and military of Japan at that time were indeed relatively strong.

As for the Japanese weapons and why the army was stronger than ours, it was naturally because of the incompetence of the imperial court at that time.

Just like today, the establishment of slaves has only been in a corner of the northeast. Why can they invade repeatedly and plunder the people in Hebei and Shaanxi, and even kill people in Shandong?

The reason is the same, it is also because our Ming court is incompetent!"

Having said this, Zhu Ayao paused for a while while looking at the surprised eyes of the soldiers underground.

Later he said: "Some soldiers may think, you are the princess of the Ming Dynasty, how can you say that the Ming Dynasty court is incompetent?

What I want to tell you here is that I am the Princess of the Ming Dynasty, but I cannot represent the Ming Dynasty.

So what is the imperial court? It is not just the emperor and other members of the royal family, but also the civil and military officials of the imperial court, as well as tens of millions of local officials.

The sum total of all the people who are supported by the people of the world who pay food and taxes is the imperial court and the government!

Nowadays, the people in the world are living so hard that they can’t even survive. Except for the continuous natural disasters, no one in this court is innocent!”

Hao Guangming's words relayed by Zhu Yu'ao were so straightforward that even the big-head soldiers with different characters could understand them.

But precisely because of this, they also experienced an unprecedented shock.

No one thought that one day, they would actually hear Princess Ming standing on a high place and scolding the entire Ming court in a loud voice.

Even Li Yan, Fang Zhenghua, Liu Xiaolian and other few educated people in the army were so shocked that their scalps went numb and they forgot to think for a while.

Just when Li Yan came to his senses and wanted to stop Zhu Yu'ao from continuing, Zhu Yu'ao spoke again after a short pause.

"I am not saying this to take the responsibility of this world away from the Emperor Zhu Ming.

Because the world is in such chaos and the people are suffering so much, I, the Zhu Ming royal family, as the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, should bear the greatest responsibility!"

Having said this, Zhu Aona paused, her voice became a little hoarse when she spoke, and her tone became more intense.

"My father, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, has already paid the price for this responsibility!

He was captured by the invading army and the capital, imperial city, and palace were captured, and he was hanged on a coal mountain!"

At this point, Zhu Aao couldn't control her tears, but she wiped them away with her sleeves.

Then he continued to shout at the top of his lungs: "Many of the officials and gentry in the world have paid the price!

They were invaded by the invading army and the peasant army like you who were forced to revolt. They broke into their homes, divided their wealth and chopped off their heads!

My father, and these people, all deserve their fate!"

Hearing this, Li Yan and others were not only numb in the scalp, but also shocked to the point of being knocked out of their bodies.

Thought:

Princess, how could she say that?

How dare she say that?
