Zhu Hongyu spoke without any scruples, and directly regarded the vassals, evil gentry, corrupt officials, riots and bandits Jiannu, as the reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, in his words, Zhu Hongyu also praised Chongzhen very well.

Such an evaluation is to be diligent and quick-witted!

Although the demise of the Ming Dynasty was closely related to Chongzhen's character flaws and personal abilities.

But in terms of personal character and morality, no one can find Chongzhen's mistakes.

Otherwise, how could Chongzhen be called a wise ruler based on the Qing Dynasty's slandering the Ming emperors in "History of Ming Dynasty"?!

Since Zhu Hongyu wanted to restore the Ming Dynasty, even the Qing Dynasty did not vilify Chongzhen, how could he slander Chongzhen?

Zhu Hongyu continued to speak.

"Today, I will teach you how to read in person!"

"The first word is "Han", the Han people's Han!"

"The second word is "Ming", the Ming Dynasty!"

"We must know what we are fighting for!"

“…”

Zhu Hongyu was teaching everyone below to write with strokes on the blackboard.

Everyone also held tiny branches and wrote on the soft sand on the ground.

Zhu Hongyu personally taught this first lesson in literacy.

The first lesson only taught them two words, one was the Han Han people and the other was the Ming Ming.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Hongyu is preparing to lead the Restoration Army to the evil path of nationalism.

Because if nationalism is used well, it will be the only magic weapon to unite people's hearts and will never be detrimental to the future.

Although in later generations, nationalism was considered backward and narrow-minded.

But that was in the context of later generations, in the context of advanced science and technology, relatively rich means of production, and the successful construction of the so-called civilization system.

Under such a context, Europe and the United States can use relatively moderate and low-cost means to exploit and exploit other nations and other countries to maintain high welfare in their own countries.

For example, economic globalization!

They no longer need to use nationalism to arm the army and use swords and guns to directly plunder resources from other nations and other countries.

They no longer need it, and nationalism naturally becomes narrow-minded and backward!

To put it bluntly, it is the group of old gangsters in Europe who are both deceiving and standing.

When they were firing strong ships and cannons, slaughtering, plundering, establishing colonies, and plundering local resources all over the world.

If nationalism is used to arm the idea, nationalism is the advanced mainstream idea.

When they start to be shameless, the means of plunder and exploitation become more clever, and there is no need to rob them directly.

Nationalism is naturally a narrow and backward garbage that will be abandoned by the whole world!

But now this era is still in the era of great navigation and in the stage of primitive accumulation of capital.

This face is unsatisfactory!

If you don’t put your face in your pocket, plunder other people’s resources, and treat others as your own nourishment, so that your civilization and country can transform.

You will become the target of plundering by other countries and the nutrients needed by other countries to complete their transformation!

Imagine that if Zheng He had gone to the West to have a friendly exchange.

Instead, like Europeans, they killed people, set fire and slaughtered cities and robbed them.

The gold and silver ships of gold and silver were transported back to the West, and the voyage to the West changed from losing money to making money.

Every time I go to the West, I can bring piles of gold and silver to the treasury. Will there be such a ban on the sea?

Without a maritime ban, with China's shipbuilding and navigation capabilities leading the world at that time, what's going on in the big voyage and Europe?!

To put it bluntly, China’s modern decline is because it is too shameful to lose!

In this era, in this era of blood and fire, nationalism is undoubtedly the best and most practical idea!

It is absolutely reasonable that nationalism was able to prevail for a while.

As for the internal contradictions caused by the proliferation of nationalism?

Haha, can that be called a matter?

Isn’t it enough to expand externally!

Holding high the banner of nationalism to expand outward is the best way to alleviate all internal contradictions.

...

Outside Manila City, the Skochi family’s manor!

The Skogg family can be considered a first-class family in Manila.

The Governor of Manila is an old friend of the Skochi family's head, and the military commander of Manila is the son-in-law of the Skochi family.

The younger brother of the head of the family is the most trusted deputy of the consul!

He has a prominent family background!

The Skochi family's manor covers a large area and the walls are solid rammed earth walls, which are more than two meters thick.

Everyone in the manor's guards carried guns, and many Japanese ronin samurai carrying Japanese swords were bodyguards.

There are large green areas in the manor, the roads are covered with round pebbles and evergreen trees on both sides.

It looks like it has been carefully cared for!

Capello, the Scotch family, sat on a chair in the study, wearing a cool silk pajamas and a complete set of tea sets on the table.

This set of tea sets is all the best porcelain, with smooth and transparent porcelain surfaces and fine and beautiful patterns.

Candles are still lit on the desktop, and the light of the candles illuminates the dim room.

The cup was filled with mellow coffee, and Capello held a spoon in his hand, stirring the milk and sugar cubes in the coffee.

The spoon and the teacup collided and made a crisp sound, which sounded so pleasant.

However, Capello was now unwilling to appreciate such a pleasant voice, and his brows frowned tightly.

It can be seen that he is in a bad mood now!

The reason is very simple, something happened to his son!

It fell into the hands of the Chinese rebel again!

Why do you say it again? Because this is the third time his son has fallen into the hands of the Chinese rebels!

Someone just heard news for him that Kayar, who led his team into the mountains to encircle and suppress the Chinese rebels, was defeated.

Cayar himself, along with his son Yada, and a large group of young men from the Spanish Army, were all captured.

The Chinese rebels released a prisoner of war and asked the prisoner of war to send a message to the Manila authorities.

He handed over money with one hand and others with the other, and used supplies, gold, silver and money to exchange for prisoners of war in their hands.

If they don't change, they will immediately execute the prisoners of war!

Capello was still thinking about the news that the Chinese rebels had passed on to him.

If you want your son, you can exchange it for five thousand kilograms of gunpowder or hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain.

To be honest, Capello can afford these things.

However, this matter was not something he could decide.

Whether you can spend money to redeem people depends on the decision of the Governor's Office.

Because this incident had already made a big deal, five or six hundred Spanish soldiers were killed in one battle.

The existence of this Chinese rebel has seriously threatened the Spanish rule in Manila.

How can you allow others to snore on the side of the bed?!

There is such a Chinese rebel entrenched near Manila, and the Governor may not even sleep at night!

The Governor will definitely send troops to encircle and suppress this Chinese rebel.

Under such a general background, if he exchanges a large amount of supplies for his son, he will be considered a capital enemy.

The Governor was the first to let go of Skogg's family!

Therefore, whether his son and those prisoners of war can survive depends on the decision of the Governor.

After all, even if Manila can send troops to wipe out the Chinese rebels, it is still okay to kill all the prisoners of war before they die.
