    "What Ai Qing said is exactly what I said. Although they have few places, they are very ambitious. They feel that they are the masters of the world. To be honest, this is much better than our Ming Dynasty, which always thinks of itself as the kingdom of heaven. They have the courage to explore and have discovered  In addition to India to the west, the most important expansion to the east is India, and the Netherlands and Portugal have begun to extend their hands to the Ming Dynasty, and they have discovered a piece of land in the easternmost part of the East China Sea of ??the Ming Dynasty.  Our Ming Dynasty has a continent that is several times the size of the country. That is the territory that these Western countries are constantly fighting for. It was a mistake for our Ming Dynasty to develop its navy only when it was Zheng He." Zhu Youxiao said with emotion.  , China fell behind the West, probably starting from this time.  Zheng He is indeed not a businessman and does not make money. This is consistent with his starting point. Why did he go abroad seven times?  In "The Biography of Zheng He", it is said that Zheng He's voyages to the West were "the ancestors suspected that Emperor Hui had perished overseas, which made people want to trace him, and he wanted to show off his troops in foreign lands and show China's prosperity." Many people know that the wealth of Nanyang is indescribable.  Imagine, but Zheng He's fleet turned out to be a masterpiece that wasted people and money. Everyone in the court shouted for beatings, so the ocean was ended and the treasure ship paper was burned.  Why it comes is puzzling.  Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh, traveling with public funds is harmful to people.  If Zheng Huihui can bring such a large fleet, he not only wants to enjoy the blue sky and blue sea on the tourist line of boutique resorts like 'Singapore-Malaysia' at public expense, but also treats the ocean as a business while traveling, let's have a  They used ships to maintain ships and relied on such caravans to travel across the sea. After Zheng He's death.  If this continues, the dream of a maritime power will be realized ahead of schedule.  The history of Ming Dynasty will be rewritten.  China's history will also be rewritten.  "Your Majesty, there is no need to lament, it is not too late to remedy the situation." Xu Guangqi is Zhu Youxiao's close minister, and of course he knows some core secrets.  "Yes, science and technology are the productive forces of national development! Although these countries are just small places, their emphasis on science and technology is also constantly increasing. Xu Aiqing has been exposed to Catholicism, and their knowledge has surpassed that of the Ming Dynasty." "The emperor seeks the best.  The palace's teaching materials are much better than theirs, and our Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and a large population. Although the navy has been discontinued, it will be rebuilt and glorious in the hands of the emperor. " "Yes, the 30,000 naval troops established by Yuan Keli have been trained.  More than half a year. I dare not brag about their ocean-going ability, because they have never been to the open sea, and they are far inferior to these people who are used to wind and waves. But in the offshore, I have a cement boat, and I have trained for more than half a year, so I can use them.  Come and practice your skills." Zhu Youxiao said enthusiastically.  From the moment he heard the words of those missionaries with Song Yingxing on the snack street, he knew that the Holy See was so powerful that he would never swallow the anger of being rejected from missionary work.  They have always been strong and domineering, so domineering that it makes people breathless.  Preaching is normal.  Of course it is normal not to allow proselytizing, just like in schools.  It¡¯s normal for you to teach, and it¡¯s normal for me not to learn.  It was originally a matter of mutual consent between you and me, but now the principal came over and said that you must learn, otherwise I will treat you as a bad person and beat you. This is obviously not normal.  And the Holy See plays exactly this role today.  ??Zhu Youxiao is so strong against foreigners, how can he allow other countries to override the Ming Dynasty?  But without a navy, no matter how strong you are, it will be of no use.  Saddam was strong enough and was hanged, because his strength was just words, and the 30,000 Dengzhou Navy troops were Zhu Youxiao's strength.  "Your Majesty, when he was fighting with the Dutch Red Boiled Ghost, he once said to Shen Yourong: 'China is very accustomed to killing thieves. Since you say you are a businessman, you are acting as a guest, so how can you talk about fighting? I think it is contrary to your original intention.  Come and see the power of the Japanese army! Have you never heard of it? I broke the Japanese sea, and the sea turned red. I can't bear to follow in the footsteps of the Japanese. '" When Xu Guangqi talked about Shen Yourong, this man who was standing beside Yuan Keri obviously thought of it.  Proud.  Although Shen Yourong was a military general, he still had the style of a Confucian general.  It's a pity that Tian is jealous of talents and passed away this year.  "Shen Yourong has indeed promoted the prestige of our country. It's a pity. I have transferred all eight of his sons to Yuan Keli's account, hoping that he will show his father's power again." Zhu Youxiao admired the story of Shen Yourong and Yuan Keli.  Especially among his descendants, they were loyal officials. Among the eight sons, three sons continued to resist the Qing Dynasty (the sixth son, Shen Shouchong, attacked his position and was killed by Li Zicheng's tribe in the suburbs of Beijing in the 16th year of Chongzhen (1643); the eighth son, Shen Shouao (  In the second year of Shunzhi (1645), he responded to Jin Sheng's call and organized a rebel army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He was defeated and killed; the fourth son Shen Shouyue was killed in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661) because he actively supported Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan in their fight against the Qing Dynasty.  Beheading. It's not much better than Yuan Shu refusing to give up his anger and going on a hunger strike. After all, Yuan Shu is a scholar.) Where can I find such a loyal official? Of course, let his descendants follow him to make contributions.  "Huh, Your Majesty is still thoughtful." "Your Majesty, all those foreigners have arrived at Tianjin Guard. The envoy will arrive in the capital in two days. How will they be received?"??Li Guopu asked.  According to the emperor, these countries are no different from small countries like the imperial court, they are just small kingdoms.  And the relationship with Ming Dynasty is the most enemy than friend. Li Guopu, who has just taken office, is not clear about the reception standards, so he has questions.  "Just follow the specifications of the last meeting, catch the wind, and then arrange a place to stay. But they are here, and the battleship won't be far away. The carrot-and-stick approach is their usual approach. It must be  Be on guard against them." Zhu Youxiao said calmly, not expecting it to come so quickly.  But if we fight in the Bohai Sea, we are not afraid.  Because there are warships in Liaodong now, Leyden also has them, not far from Tianjin, so we are definitely in a hurry.  Tianjin is the entrance to the sea where the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered the capital. Once there is a loss, Ming Dynasty will definitely fall into a passive position.  This battle must be won.  Although the wind turbine has just taken shape now, it is not yet time for it to show its power.  But when the enemy comes, we can't call a timeout.  "It's your Majesty, and now that the princes are gathered together, I would like to ask about the regulations." Li Guopu then asked.  The Ministry of Rites has no power to interfere with military matters, but it must be asked about the matter of raising a son.  The matter of training the disciples is about to be implemented. These disciples are thousands of miles away, and it is not easy to stay in the capital. If it weren't for the prince's matter, it would have been solved long ago.  Xu Guangqi did not have any objection to the reuse of juren. On the contrary, Qiuji Palace picked out a large number of people from these juren who came to Beijing to absorb them.  There are more and more people in Qiuji Palace, and they can no longer accommodate them.  The new location of Qiuji Palace is outside the second ring road of Beijing. This has been planned for a long time, but the construction is not too fast.  "Your Majesty's several rounds of officer training have ended, is the address still at the Xishan Camp?" Thousands of moves are not a small number, and it is a bit messy in the capital.  After several rounds of officer training, it was almost done, Xu Guangqicai said.  "No, I plan to do it there for a long time, and the location of the training should be placed in the Imperial College. Anyway, it is idle there." The Imperial College did play a role in selecting talents for the country in the early Ming Dynasty. As the highest official in the Ming Dynasty,  The school actively played the role of Ming Dynasty¡¯s talent pool.  But slowly, with the "institutional reform", Jinshi can directly become officials; the financial situation deteriorated; the emergence of "Wei Peisheng" (aided students); and the final proposal of "education industrialization", the Imperial College also became a money-making process for the Ming Dynasty.  Just like some universities in later generations, most students just want to get a diploma; the school is just to earn tuition fees.  Finally, it entered a vicious cycle.  Nowadays, there are still systems such as "a student can be sent to prison for a hundred stones," "a student can be sent to prison for a small amount of millet," and "a horse for a small amount of grass." To put it bluntly, it means that no matter who he is, he can go to prison if he pays money.  Therefore, there are relatively few people in the Imperial College now, and it is also located in the center of the capital, making it easier to manage.  Because the Imperial College is under the jurisdiction of Li Guopu's Ministry of Rites, it is a good time to arrange one or two.  "Your Majesty, in his capacity as a judge, leads officials to serve in government offices at all levels. I think most of the governors at this level will agree. But how will we get along with the principals of those government offices in the future?" Li Guopu also said.  Of course, it is nonsense to start from the stage of being a scholar. It should be said that all Jinshi were once Juren.  Juren means those who are recommended. Those who are not recommended are of course not eligible to take the Jinshi examination.  This experience of being elected is not so pleasant. There is a Jinshi bait hanging there, but the single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses is not so easy to pass.  The solution to the problem of livelihood may sound a little ugly, but it is a problem that many people have to face. Of course, it goes without saying that for generations, but for a small family, supporting a member of the family is no ordinary trivial matter.  .  So it would be fun to be a small official first and have a position.  But such officials are no longer officials. They come with the identity of officials and are also officials. This is essentially different from officials. How the local government handles the relationship is another matter.  "Ai Qing, I'm overthinking it. Don't all the six ministries have a superior-subordinate relationship? Each one should perform his own duties." "In this case, I will make arrangements." When Li Guopu heard this, he found that such a relationship did exist. There can be ministers and other ministers under the minister.  For officials at all levels, it is also feasible to have a magistrate or the like below the county magistrate.  "Xu Aiqing, it seems that I am going to open a battlefield again." After Li Guopu left, Zhu Youxiao said helplessly.  "Your Majesty, now that the Mongolian battlefield and the Liaodong battlefield are full-scale war, why not come up with a delaying strategy and wait until there is calm before fighting?" Xu Guangqi said worriedly.  "Xu Aiqing, what is the combat strength of this pure army now?" Zhu Youxiao asked without answering.
