"The Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded the Qing Dynasty!!!" Xuan Ye was confused.
After coming back to his senses, Xuan Ye gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "Damn it, why didn't you tell me which eight countries they are? If I knew, I would have destroyed them in advance!"
It's a pity that the video only made a few clicks without any development in this direction.
The video continues to play.
The screen flashed, and a man exuding majesty and majesty appeared in the video.
He stood on the Forbidden City Tower, gazing at the earth and ocean in the distance with an attitude of looking down at the world!
[Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was equally outstanding in martial arts.]
[He inherited the Yiying system of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and optimized some of the policies formulated by Taizu, making the Ming Dynasty's bureaucratic system more reasonable.]
[He summoned Xie Jin, Yao Guangxiao and others to preside over the compilation of the "Yongle Dadian", which has 22,937 volumes, 11,095 volumes, and 370 million words. It brings together 78,000 kinds of ancient books and is recognized as the largest encyclopedia in human history.
It has become an important symbol of Chinese civilization!]
There was a hint of appreciation in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and then he nodded slightly and said: "This kid, Fourth, does look like me."
Liu Bang touched his chin and sighed angrily: "Damn it! Why is this guy so good at everything? But why is he only ranked eighth?"
Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, couldn't help but sigh: "This man is so talented and brilliant! He is rare in ancient and modern times!"
As one of the protagonists of this video, Zhu Di himself was shocked by what he would do in the future. "I never thought that I would be so talented and strategic in the future! It is indeed me, Zhu Di!"
"However, now that we have this Wanchao exchange platform, I will definitely be able to do better in the future!"
[In addition to compiling books, Zhu Di also dredged the Grand Canal and played a vital role in the economic development and cultural exchanges between the north and the south. 】
[Finally, Zhu Di also renovated the Great Wall during his reign. We all know that the Great Wall was built during the Qin Shihuang period, but in fact, most of what we see in later generations is the "Ming Great Wall". ]
[Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, used his talents and strategies, loved the government and loved the people, and created a peaceful and prosperous era called "Yongle"!]
After Qin Shihuang saw it, he only said one word: "Good!"
Other emperors, including Zhu Yuanzhang, also highly recognized Zhu Di's various achievements.
After taking stock of Zhu Di's achievements, it was his turn to take stock of his faults.
Liu Xiu looked at the screen and thought to himself: "The achievements of Emperor Yongle are so great that few emperors can match them, but he was only ranked eighth. It seems that his fault is not small!"
"Ming Chengzu's reputation has been severely polarized. His achievements were world-famous, but he also left a lot of infamy." As the emperor after the Ming Dynasty, Xuan Ye still knew a lot about Zhu Di's deeds.
[Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty also made many mistakes. Next, let’s take stock of the opposite of Zhu Di’s greatness and brightness—cruel and cruel!]
"Cruel and cruel!!!"
Everyone, whether it was the emperor in the Ten Thousand Dynasties Exchange Platform, or ordinary people, gentry, officials, etc. in the parallel space, were shocked by this violent word.
Especially in Zhu Yuanzhang's world, Zhu Biao, Zhu Quan and others felt chills running down their backs! As for Zhu Di himself, his face was pale, with countless beads of sweat falling down his cheeks.
It feels like there are countless eyes wandering back and forth on me, examining me.
Zhu Di in the communication space had a gloomy face at the moment. The dark side in his heart made him extremely irritable at the moment. However, because he was under the control of the "god man", he did not dare to make mistakes, so he could only endure it for the time being.
[Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, inherited the murderous nature of his father Zhu Yuanzhang. The horrifying and frightening execution of the ten tribes appeared in the hands of Zhu Di! 】
"Exterminate the Ten Clans!!!"
People in the parallel world who saw the video playing couldn't help but take a breath of cold air at this moment.
The other people who accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to see the "Oracle" looked at Zhu Di as if they had seen a ghost, and couldn't help but quietly move away from him.
[When Zhu Di conquered Nanjing City, he killed all the eunuchs and maids in Emperor Jianwen's palace! Thousands of people, except for the few eunuchs who had tipped him off, all the others were executed. It was extremely cruel!]
[Of course, there are many cruel kings in history. In fact, Zhu Di probably did not kill as many people as Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.]
[But fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di killed more officials and people involved in the palace. They were still very good to ordinary people, and could even be said to love their people like their own children.]
Well, it turns out that this father and son are just like a sleeping dragon and a phoenix, they are just the same, no one is any better than the other.
Zhu Di: "."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "."
Officials of two time and space, the eunuch and the palace maid: "."
The people of the Ming Dynasty in both time and space breathed a long sigh of relief.
[Zheng He’s voyages to the West were apparently intended to promote the Ming Dynasty’s national prestige, but in reality they also wasted people and money.]
[In order to promote the great power of the country, they spread the rich silk, porcelain and high-quality culture of the Ming Dynasty to countries outside the Ming Dynasty, but the rewards he received were far from proportional to what he paid]
[Zhu Di launched several foreign wars during his reign. Although his intention was to stabilize the country's border defenses and his intentions were good, years of wars placed a heavy burden on the Ming Dynasty's treasury, leaving the treasury empty and the people miserable.
Word.】
When Zhu Di saw this, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, "It's the same as opening up the sea. Why can the Song Dynasty be so rich, but I, the Ming Dynasty, can waste national energy in vain?"
Just when Zhu Di was confused, the video explained the reason to him very considerately.
[Both the Song and Ming dynasties had maritime trade. Why was the Song Dynasty so rich, but the Ming Dynasty was so strapped? The reason is actually very simple.]
[During the Song Dynasty, they were unable to open up the overland Silk Road, so they could only choose to develop maritime trade.]
The other emperors secretly laughed, but Zhao Kuangyin could only hide his face and sigh.
[Zhu Di sent Zheng He to the West for three purposes]
[First, look for Emperor Jianwen and his followers who are suspected of fleeing overseas; ]
[Second, show the powerful strength of the Ming Dynasty to overseas countries;]
[Third, maintain the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty. 】
"You bastard! People have gone overseas, and you still refuse to let me go? Let me see if I don't beat you to death later!" Zhu Yuanzhang said bitterly, and the cloth shoes under his feet seemed to be moving.
[There is no mention of establishing a trade system here.]
[Zheng He spent a lot of money along the way, and various small Eastern countries came to China to worship, taking advantage of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty's treasury could not make ends meet, and money flowed to other countries like water.
In the end, the Ming Dynasty learned from the painful experience and decided to close the country, refusing to do business with other countries, and strictly prohibiting them from coming to worship if they had nothing to do.】
[Although Zheng He also brought back a lot of treasures, compared with the cost, they are almost a drop in the bucket and can be ignored.]
[It can be seen that the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty is fundamentally different from that in the Song Dynasty. 】
[In fact, if the Yongle fleet can use its powerful force to colonize those wealthy places, the Ming Dynasty will become the unique overlord of the entire world! There will be no such thing as an empire on which the sun never sets. ]
The common people and scholars discussed one after another:
"Can I, the Ming Dynasty, be so powerful?"
"But colonizing those small foreign countries is not something a gentleman would do!"
"Idiot, what's the use of saving face? What we want is real money and silver profits!!"
