    Chapter 506: The Rise of Chinese Civilization!  (First update)

    Ascending the throne and establishing a country is a big event, and naturally you need to prepare countless things.  Even if you inform the world and examine those who come to watch the ceremony, it will not be completed in a short time.  []

    Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has very strict internal control over Taiwan. Except for those external invitees, everyone has a clean background.

    In addition, during this period, the 1st and 2nd Field Divisions were urgently transferred back to Taiwan to take charge of the defense of Taiwan Island. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Navy and the Special Fleet also formed a temporary combined fleet with a number of 200 warships to protect the island.  Taiwan¡¯s waters.

    It can be said that the defense force of Taiwan Island at this time was the strongest. Even at this time, the Ming Dynasty could not capture Taiwan Island with all its efforts.

    At the same time, invitations to watch the ceremony were also sent to almost all countries that might come to Taipei to watch the ceremony, including the Ming Dynasty, Japan, Myanmar, the Mughal Dynasty of India, various Mongolian princes and other countries.

    ????????????????????????? Even European countries that could not reach their own countries due to long distances, sent invitations to the representatives of these countries to watch the ceremony.

    To be honest, most countries here feel very uncomfortable with the founding of the Chinese Empire and Xiao Mingqian¡¯s ascension to the throne.  Because of the rise of the Chinese Empire, they had an extremely powerful behemoth beside them, which seriously damaged the balance of power in Asia and even the entire world.

    What¡¯s more, the Chinese Empire destroyed more than a dozen countries in the past ten years.  With such a militaristic country rising beside them, everyone will feel great pressure.

    Especially the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Mingqian decided to name the country the Chinese Empire, where would that place the Ming Dynasty?  For a time, the entire Ming Dynasty was in a state of excitement. From the middle of the court to the Ming Dynasty, people were scolding Xiao Mingqian, saying that Taiwan was trying to get the crown by pretending to be a monkey, and it was shameless.

    "However, there is no point in scolding. Without strength, there is no right to speak.  Although Taiwan is indeed inferior to the Ming Dynasty in terms of inheritance of Chinese civilization, Taiwan is more dynamic than the Ming Dynasty in terms of the development of Chinese civilization.

    Because of the rise of Taiwan, Eastern civilization is not at a disadvantage in the face of Western civilization, but has risen strongly.

    Under the relaxed ideological environment of the Chinese Empire, the traditional Chinese thoughts burst out brilliant sparks through continuous encouragement.  Even Confucian disciples like Guo Xing will no longer just hold on to a few books by the sages and start to interpret the teachings of Confucius and Mencius in line with the times.  Although this is far-fetched, at least it does not limit current minds with ancient understandings.

    ??And Chinese traditional culture and skills have burst out with dazzling light in Taiwan.  Because Taiwan has people from all over the Ming Dynasty, they brought cultural forms and traditional skills from various places to Taiwan.

    Whether it is the literati's chess, calligraphy and painting, or the traditional operas of the Ming Dynasty; whether it is the traditional Chinese medicine that heals the wounded or the Chinese martial arts that strengthens the body; whether it is the splendid traditional literature, or the various folk crafts; whether it is the traditional thought, or the folk customs  Fame and customs all come together on this small island of Taiwan.

    Large-scale immigration regardless of region has brought these traditional cultures together on this small island. At the same time, there has been fierce collision and integration, and great progress has been made in the process of social development.

    Take traditional Chinese medicine as an example. Stimulated by the huge economic benefits, many famous doctors from the Ming Dynasty took out their treasures. Not only did they gain huge economic benefits, but they also enabled Taiwan's traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to participate in such large-scale exchanges.  In the meantime, we began to make great strides forward.  Not only is it far superior to Western medicine of this era, even the Ming Dynasty cannot compare with it in some fields.

    ??And Chinese martial arts has also made great progress.  Xiao Mingqian himself is a person who likes martial arts.  If something is good above, it will be prosperous below.  In addition, people in various parts of Southeast Asia are always facing attacks from indigenous people who are dissatisfied with Taiwan's rule. Therefore, martial arts teaching is flourishing everywhere and is deeply loved and sought after by the people.

    During this period, many talented people with amazing talents were born, many of whom were met and communicated with by Xiao Mingqian.

    There are countless examples. It can be said that although Taiwan is still not as good as the Ming Dynasty in terms of high-end ideas, it is more prosperous and dynamic than the Ming Dynasty in terms of the traditional culture that serves as the foundation.

    With such a foundation, are we afraid that we will not be able to achieve ideological sublimation?  Therefore, the name of the country, the Empire of China, is well deserved.  The slander and abuse of those Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty seemed so pale and weak.

    The culture of the Ming Dynasty, which fell into the abyss of the decline of Confucianism, was filled with countless decadent things, such as the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Virtues, false Taoism, eight-part essays, women's lack of talent is virtue, and even women's foot binding, which seriously imprisoned people's thoughts and ideas.  bodyThe body is so oppressive that one can't breathe.

    Under such an environment, Confucian scholars can only act like bookworms, crazily chewing on those few books that can help them rise to the upper class.

    Some people may not agree with these, and there are even a handful of people who believe that these are an indispensable part of Chinese civilization, but it is an indisputable fact that these will hinder the development of civilization.

    And under Xiao Mingqian¡¯s thunderous methods, Taiwan, which has eliminated these dross, can truly assume the responsibility of making Chinese civilization shine around the world.

    No matter how angry Chongzhen was, no matter how excited the Ming Dynasty was, whether to attend this ceremony or not must always be placed in front of the Ming emperors and ministers.

    To be honest, as a hostile country to the Chinese Empire, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t go to the ceremony.  Moreover, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were generally very arrogant and did not think they had the need to go to the country of tigers and wolves with unethical etiquette to observe the ceremony.

    Yes, Taiwan has now transformed from a small barbarian country into a country of tigers and wolves in the eyes of Ming Dynasty.  Not even many people in Ming Dynasty noticed this change.

    But Wu Rongtang stood up at this time and tried his best to persuade Emperor Chongzhen to send ministers to watch the ceremony.  Even if it is to find out the details of Taiwan and its next steps, I still have to attend the ceremony.

    In the end, Emperor Chongzhen reluctantly agreed to this request. The current national power of the Chinese Empire has far exceeded that of the Ming Dynasty. It is not unacceptable to go to such a country to participate in the founding ceremony.

    ¡°There¡¯s just another question here, which is who to send to Taiwan.  This issue is really embarrassing for the ministers.  No one is willing to attend the founding ceremony of the Chinese Empire, because this requires that person not to undermine the majesty of the Ming Dynasty but also to maintain etiquette in front of the Chinese Empire, a powerful emerging country.

    In the end, after many selections, Shi Kefa, who was only a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites at this time, was pushed out. The reason of those ministers was that Shi Kefa was polite and courteous without losing the majesty of the Ming Dynasty during his last mission to Taiwan, so he was the best.  Candidate.
