I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

But Zhu Fugui, the dog emperor, really had sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet, it was so bad to the bone!

He actually made so many dolls and distributed them to fools all over Beijing!

Cixi can almost imagine the appearance of those traffickers and pawns doing dirty things to their imitations.

As for princes and nobles, she hadn't thought about it.

Which of these people is not a concubine with more than a dozen rooms, they shouldn't be so boring, right?

Speaking of boredom, Cixi thought about it for three days and three nights but still couldn't understand why Zhu Fugui was so boring?

Does it do Zhu Fugui any good for him to do such a thing?

He has an airship, and he just threw two bombs. Didn't he just take the prince of Manmeng with him?

Why would he do this...

This kind of... bad guy reputation thing?

Did he really think that by relying on such crude tricks, he could further instigate a fight between himself and Prince Gong's mansion?

It's not that I, Xingzhen, are bragging, engaging in internal strife, ten Yijinjin is not my opponent, what right does he have to fight me!

Cixi naturally couldn't figure out why Zhu Fugui did something that was not harmful but extremely insulting.

What bad thoughts could Zhu Fugui have?

It's just to celebrate Ms. Xingzhen's birthday, and earn a little cultural value by the way.

Although she didn't understand what Zhu Fugui was planning, Cixi was not prepared to swallow this bad breath in vain.

While she started to further suppress the party in Prince Gong's Mansion, she issued an order to Li Hongzhang.

Didn't you, Li Hongzhang, set up a telegraph network for a whole year after being busy?

Doesn't it mean that telegraph is the fastest way to communicate with all countries in Thailand and the West?

Let Li Hongzhang send a telegram to Aijia and Zhu Fugui!

Let him scold severely!

There are such brazen people in the world!

Even if you can't scold Zhu Fugui to death, at least you can relieve the depression in Aijia's heart!

……

Li Hongzhang received such a decree from Beijing in the Li Mansion in Suzhou.

The one who came to pass the decree was the father-in-law An Dehai who rushed to the south of the Yangtze River without raising his butt to make atonement.

In his decree, the empress dowager asked Li Hongzhang to follow Chen Lin's example and write an essay to scold Zhu Fugui, this despicable and shameless white-faced Cao Cao!

"Master Li, accept the order!"

Li Hongzhang looked up at An Dehai who delivered the order, and couldn't help but shook his head: "The empress dowager still doesn't understand the correct usage of the telegram!"

"Oh? How do you say this?"

An Dehai asked with a sharp voice.

At the same time, I thought in my heart, these Han foreign ministers are becoming more and more unruly, our family's angels are here, the etiquette is not complete, and they don't give money for filial piety.

Li Hongzhang shook his head with a smile, and said, "This old man built an internal network, which is not connected to Zhu Ming's telegraph network. How can this old man call Zhu Fugui?"

"Then what are you waiting for, Master Li, just connect quickly!" An Dehai replied naturally.

"Humph!"

Li Hongzhang stood up suddenly, flicked his sleeves and said, "From Beijing to Suzhou, I have already established a telegraph connection, but you and the Manchus have never changed, and still have to spend a lot of time sending people here to pass the message. Such a stubborn person, I Waiting for Hanchen to fix it, how can you support your broken boat full of people!"

"Master Li, you! You! You are a goddamn horse!"

An Dehai was so startled by Li Hongzhang's words that he took three steps back, unable to even speak.

Li Hongzhang sneered and threw Cixi's decree on the ground, and then crushed it under his feet with his brand new bright shoes.

Let me scold Zhu Fugui, is it because my brain is in jail?Zhu Fugui is a stupefied young man who draws his gun at the slightest disagreement!What's more, do you know how much it costs for an overseas telegram?

One word is two taels of silver!

Cixi, you let the old man scold Zhu Fugui, will the court reimburse the thousands of taels of silver?How many disaster victims would the old man have to sell to make up for it!

On the contrary, the domestic telegraph is much cheaper.

Andhey trembled, and suddenly thought of the time when Lord Kangxi, Wu Fan of Yunnan rebelled, maybe this was the situation?

This Wu Fan rebelled against the imperial court, and he was the first to sacrifice the flag with the guarding eunuch!

"Uncle Li, this slave is deaf, I didn't understand a single word you just said, slave... yes, this slave can't understand Anhui dialect, Uncle Li, tell this slave to go back and find a great talent from Tonghui, and then come to greet you? "

Saying that, An Dehai hurriedly ran out the door.

Unexpectedly, soldiers from Li's residence were guarding the door, kicking An Dehai back with just one kick.

"Uncle Li, let the younger one go back first, the younger one really doesn't understand the southern dialect, and the younger one beats the kid for being stupid!"

An Dehai burst into tears.

Li Hongzhang shook his head and said with a sneer, "Uncle? Hehe, since you don't understand Anhui dialect, you should know this!"

As he said that, Li Hongzhang tore off the crown of flowers on his head, revealing the hair that had been raised secretly for more than a year.

As expected of a long-lived person who can survive being shot, Li Hongzhang's hair is of very good quality, and he can barely cut his hair in just one year, which is enough to make a programmer cry.

Then, Li Hongzhang took off his mandarin jacket and robe, revealing the unicorn robe inside.

It's just that this unicorn robe is obviously not the style of the Qing Dynasty, but made in the Ming Dynasty!

Li Hongzhang smiled grimly, showing a row of white teeth, "To tell you the truth, Zhu Ming's prince, Li, would not dare to accept it, but this Zhu Ming's Duke, Li, still wants to give it a try!"

"This... this... Encore is so good!" An Dehai sat down on the ground, and the pain in his buttocks disappeared.

At this time, Zhou Yushan, Li Hongzhang's chief aide, also came out from behind the screen: "It has been 15 years since the bandit rebelled spontaneously. In the past 15 years, foreign barbarians have invaded, the Yellow River has changed its course, and the worst misfortune is unprecedented. Hairy, gas-filled, and the like, you can't help but beat your heart and breathe out, crying in the streets!"

Zhou Yushan said word by word, and at the same time, as if the small screen was juggling, a dozen or so swordsmen and a few warriors with helmets and armor came out from behind.

"Hey, no matter, it wasn't Li who turned his back on the Lord and begged for glory. It's really a barbarian who has no way, and the innocent people in the world are affected. For the sake of the people in the world, this old man turned against the court of the Tartars!"

Li Hongzhang tightened the unicorn clothes, and said loudly: "Yushan, pass on this order of the commander-in-chief, and electrify the whole country. The ruler is bad and the ministers are in charge, and there are five constants. Change the banner, honor the Son of Heaven!"

Turning his head, he said to An Dehai who was already stunned: "Eunuch An, remember to entrust your dream to the Queen Mother after you go down, this is the correct way to use the telegram!"

With that said, Li Hongzhang turned and left with his hands behind his back.

Sheng Xuanhuai hurried to catch up, and Li Hongzhang quietly asked in a low voice, "How about over there..."

"Minggong, oh no, please don't worry, the special envoy of Ming Dynasty is waiting for you in Lingering Garden."

Sheng Xuanhuai naturally knew which side Li Hongzhang was referring to.

Without the nod over there, it is absolutely impossible for this Tang Kingdom to be established.

Although it is only a principality, it needs a son in the morning.

However, Emperor Zhu Fugui of the Ming Dynasty has already said that he is willing to continue to maintain trade with the Duke of Tang and recognize the independence of the Duke of Tang.

As for Zuo Zongtang, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, there has been no movement yet.

After all, Lao Zuo's heart is much higher than that of Li Hongzhang, and he feels that without Da Ming's support, he can be called a widow.

Li Hongzhang has no ideological burden.

The principality is also very good. I heard that Ming has two principalities in America, the Principality of Aztec and the Principality of Seattle.

But one of the two duchies grows coffee and the other...

In short, it is not a decent country.

But Tang Guo is different.

One word duke is naturally the highest.

He just ordered the electricity to be turned on, and then went to visit the special envoy of Daming non-stop, which shows that Lao Li is still very self-aware.

At this time, someone asked again: "Grandpa, how to deal with the father-in-law who came from the Qing court?"

"The Son of Heaven has a saying that eunuchs are against the peace of heaven. If I follow this old habit, I may offend the emperor. Therefore, my principality does not have a middle official."

Li Hongzhang shook his head. In fact, he really wanted to hire eunuchs to serve him.

But it's a pity that Zhu Ming raised this point in the early negotiations, so his dream of being a eunuch was cut short.

Specifically, this Eunuch An Dehai...

"My lord can't bear to see the suffering of the eunuch's mutilated body, so hurry up and take it as a special and throw it into the Huangpu River. Don't let me see it again!"

With that said, Li Hongzhang got into the carriage and headed towards Lingering Garden.

Chapter 397 The Theory of the Collapse of Ming Dynasty

It is Li Hongzhang's sincerity to say that he does not dare to accept the prince of Ming Dynasty, but he dares to accept the duke of Ming Dynasty.

What happened to King Sanshun and Wu Sangui who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty is still vivid in my mind.

To be honest, in Li Hongzhang's opinion, this old Zhu family's heart is not much bigger than that of the Manchu emperor, and he dare not use this trick of calling himself a widow.

The duke is very good, one step forward can reach the sky, two steps to the top, retreat can protect the prosperity of the whole life, and the safety of descendants.

In fact, Li Hongzhang did have further thoughts.

After dealing with Daming for so long, Li Hongzhang has more or less understood the internal situation of Daming.

For example, his adopted eldest son, Li Hongzhang, wrote to him more than once asking him to get him information about Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Li Hongzhang didn't know at all that every time Sha Jingfang replied, he was in Jin Yiwei's office, writing and revising while asking for instructions.

But no matter what, Li Hongzhang still had an intuitive understanding of Daming through various channels.

To put it simply, this dynasty is full of martial arts, but the culture is sparse!

In Li Hongzhang's view, Ming Dynasty is like the Mongols back then.

On the battlefield, they are invincible, and they are always at a disadvantage. Even the Western powers are not their opponents, and their military strength is even greater than that of the Yongle Dynasty.

But they don't read the Four Books and Five Classics, they don't learn the words of the sages, and they don't know how to treat gentlemen and scholars well!

Violently, viciously, a word violently, Xingzhen and the others are really right!

As far as Li Hongzhang knew, Zhu Fugui was extremely unfriendly to the gentry, whether it was the headquarters of the Ming Dynasty or the Protectorate of Wa Island.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were as many miscellaneous taxes as a cow's hair, even Jinshi had to pay taxes, and the richer he was, the more taxes he had to pay!

On the contrary, the agricultural tax and salt tax of the peasants are extremely low, which is simply putting the cart before the horse.

Zhu Ming's imperial court took advantage of it, collected heavy taxes, built bridges and paved roads, and robbed the jobs of gentry and village sages!

It's really a big blow to the bones and marrow, and it has reached the extreme in competing with the people for profit.

Not only that, the officials of the Ming court had to go to the countryside, allowing the imperial power to directly pass over the clan and the village sages (in fact, passing over things that did not exist), and made the whole people a mess.

Women don't know chastity, and they wear short shirts to enter the factory, which is very immoral;

Young people don't know their dignity, so it's normal to question the elders of the clan;

Even men do not respect the knowledge of Confucius and Mencius, and do not regard reading as noble.

Of course, the reading here refers to reading Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, not any weird miscellaneous books.

The court of Zhu Ming built quite a few primary and secondary schools, where even kids with mud legs could study.

But what they read are crooked books!

Although there are indeed Chinese studies courses, and the proportion is not low.

But you listen, these lessons!

"The Essence and Dross of Confucian Theory", "The Dialectical Relationship Between Mencius' Thoughts of Disregarding the People and Zhu Fugui's Theory", "Why Confucianism Is Not a Religion", "Why Only the Excellent Chinese Nation Has Get Rid of Religion - Confucius and Mencius Thought The positive role in it", "Sweeping female virtues into the garbage dump of history", "Bad habits in the rules of disciples"...

This Zhu Ming's so-called Chinese learning, is it Chinese learning?

It is Zhu Xue, Zhu Fugui's own knowledge, right?

How dare you set up a sect and comment on the two saints of Confucius and Mencius just because of your inaction?

I bother!
