Chapter five hundred and twentieth third generation hero Ruan Fuying
As mentioned earlier, because Shimazu Shigeo spent all his years of extravagance, the bonds of the Satsuma clan had accumulated to nearly one million at the beginning.
This is an astronomical figure that makes the financial sector hard to bear.
So a trend of rhetoric advocacy of frugality and austerity emerged within the Satsuma Pharaoh.
Most of these people gathered around Shigeo Shimazu Kiyo's eldest son Shimazu Kiyoro.
Because Shimazu Shigeo has proved that he is a "shockless" person with his performance over the past decades.
Under such circumstances, the wave of vassals within the Satsuma clan who did not agree with Shimazu Shigeo to keep warm, and each of them regarded Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucian textbook "Jinsilu" as the standard. Even Shimazu Kiyoshi gradually was influenced by this idea.
This group was called the Kinsilu Party by the Satsuma tribe.
When the Satsuma clan first exchanged with China, Shimazu Kiyoshi was still the heir, and the Mitsuma clan party had no weight in the political arena of the Satsuma clan. The two mainstays of the Mitsuma clan party, Kazuya and Chichibu Kibo, could only be ordinary followers of Tamamoto, the old man.
But with Shimazu Kiyoshi's rise to power, even though the power has been firmly controlled by Shimazu Kiyoshi, Shimazu Kiyoshi has been living in the world all year round. In the Satsuma Domain, Shimazu Kiyoshi's weight has been getting better every day.
This is normal, after all, is he the heir?
Shimazu Shigeo himself has no objection.
But now...
He found himself having to pay attention to this.
But he didn't say anything else.
It would not be too late to deal with everything after he returned to the Satsuma tribe.
Shimazu Shigeo, who was very open-minded, made up his mind and quickly left his worries behind and found his original intention when he came - to see some rare things.
For example, the small train around the city in Jinling.
This thing is a fresh thing that has just been built for less than half a year.
The small train that had been placed in the test site before finally took another big step forward.
The problem of steam cylinder explosion was solved by a small safety valve.
Then after repeated trials, a steam train named "Red Star" was naturally pushed to the market.
Once released, this new thing aroused the curiosity of countless merchants and people inside and outside Jinling City.
The ticket price is not expensive, who can't afford it?
On the contrary, the train's capacity was obviously unable to keep up with market demand, so in the first month, it was full every day.
A month later, everyone's passion fell a little. But the train was still very popular.
The people in Jinling City especially like to see the "rustic buns" from other places who come from other places and are stunned.
This kind of transportation that can pull one or two hundred people to go quickly at once just by burning coal has really broadened the horizons of the people.
Therefore, the concept and use of steam engines became popular in the entire Huaihe area in an instant.
If anyone thinks that strange and lustful skills are useless, then go to the Qinhuai River to see the train.
Don’t you know that the newspaper is paying a lot of money to ask for the wonderful uses of trains?
Zhao Liang naturally knew how useful the train was, but he didn't say it himself, but asked the Hongxing Train Factory to issue a reward of 10,000 silver dollars to publicly solicit the public what the purpose of the train was.
This is totally adding fuel to the fire.
Moreover, although ordinary people are not time travelers, they are really geniuses among the people.
Soon someone proposed a plan to overhaul the railway tracks nationwide, the transportation capacity of trains, and its role in people's livelihood and military was imprinted in the hearts of tens of millions of people in a very, very profound way.
Then who in the world dares to say that the train is useless? Who dares to say that this is a strange and lustful skill, which is useless?
The Great Chen Dynasty really ignored the study.
Zhao Liang has been in power for eight years, and the merchant spirit has covered China for eight years, and the impact is really great.
Words such as "strange and obscene skills" and "moral articles" are becoming increasingly difficult to hear in China today.
Therefore, the new experience in Jinling City is really stupid to see North Korean visitors, and also to see Nguyen Phuc Ying, who is in his thirties.
The former was completely unexpected that China had changed so much. From the Northeast to Yanjing and then to Jinling, the North Korean missions who came by land saw too many industrial and commercial colleges, which was a great baptism for them.
Previously, I only heard that the new Central Plains dynasty must be profitable and meritorious, but many Korean literati still did not dare to think that the changes in the Central Plains were so great.
Li Xu was a little dazed.
Although he has changed a little in recent years, his old memories in China are really too powerful.
Looking at the current Central Plains, it is inevitable that it is inevitable that it is difficult to see it. So it is really better to see it than to hear it!
And what about Nguyen Phuc Ying?
At this moment, he had completely controlled the Jiading area, which was later Annan Saigon.
It also has a good military force - an army composed of 50,000 wearing Western uniforms, performing Western military salutes, equipped with flintlock rifles and light artillery and mastering the tactics of platoon shooting and killing, and two sloop warships and fifteen frigates (small warships with displacement of 240 to 400 tons).
At this point, both the army and the navy were stronger than the Guiren court - the Nguyen Wenyue army. In addition, there was also the stronger and more politically orderly Nguyen Wenhui in the north. Unfortunately, Nguyen Wenhui was already dying in his late years.
Under such circumstances, Nguyen Phuc Ying actually dared to leave her lair and bring people to Jinling to watch the ceremony. This was simply incredible.
However, Gui Ren's Ruan Wenyue's army was corrupt and corrupt, while Fu Chun's Ruan Wenhui was dying. There were still many conflicts between the two. Nguyen Phuying was not completely indecent after leaving her nest at this time.
You should know that Nguyen Phucing relied on Bedoule to not only introduce advanced weapons and training methods from France, but also built military fortresses in Western methods. De Pimanuel and Theodore LeBron established the first Western-style castle Bagua City (also known as Jiading Castle) in Jiading two years ago.
The French had extraordinary influence in Jiading. However, Bai Duolu was the teacher of his son Nguyen Phuc. At that time, Nguyen Phuc, who was only five years old, set off for France to seek help. At that time, the French Revolution had not yet broken out.
But even so, they arrived at the right time. Although they met King Louis XVI of France, Minister of Navy de Castra and Minister of Foreign Affairs Momulin, the two sides also signed the Treaty of Versailles on November 21. France promised to send four warships and 1,900 soldiers to support Nguyen Phuc Ying; Nguyen Phuc Ying was willing to ced Da Nang and Kunlun Island to France and give trade privileges to the French.
But soon, an extremely serious financial crisis occurred in France and the government was on the verge of bankruptcy. The French Governor of the French Indian Count Conway refused to provide assistance. Baidor could only recruit some French officers in Pondicherry, India and other places through his own relationship and purchased some French weapons, ammunition and warships.
It can be said that the reason why Nguyen Phuc Ying was able to successfully regain the Jiading area and firmly gain a foothold here. The French really made great efforts.
Unfortunately, later people can see from the series of practices of the Ruan Dynasty's Zhongxing lord after the revival of the Western Shan Dynasty that this was an absolutely extraordinary Eastern monarch.
What is still preserved in the bones is the old-fashioned oriental idea that "if not my race, their hearts will be different", which is quite wary of the French and Europeans.
In 1801 of the Western calendar, the prince Nguyen Phuc-kyung passed away, and his eldest son Nguyen Phuc-Mi-Tang was underage. Because Nguyen Phuc-ying had a strong tendency to be close to the law and the public religion, he was reluctant to appoint Nguyen Phuc-Tang as the royal descendant as the convention. In the future, he made Nguyen Phuc-Dang, a concubine who advocated Confucianism, the prince, and excluded Nguyen Phuc-Kang's descendants from the right to inherit the throne.
This is because he saw clearly Nguyen Phucai's strong xenophobia and anti-Catholic tendencies in his heart. Before his death, he warned Nguyen Phucai that he would respect Europeans, especially French, but he could not give them any preferential treatment, nor could he cut the land to France.
