Chapter 1270: Fighting with these dwarfs

Queen Zhou was sighing, and so was Emperor Chongzhen. After such a conversation, he realized that in this ancient society, there was a long way to go to liberate women's half of the world. In fact, in the final analysis, the most important thing that hinders these is that women have no social status, that's all.

The reason why a matriarchal society is a matriarchal society is that humans depend on women for their survival. In this patriarchal society, to strive for more power for the majority of female compatriots, the first step is to enable them to create more social value and become useful and independent people, rather than appendages of men.

Haha, if I have this idea, does it count as betraying my fellow men in the world? Emperor Chongzhen thought, feeling happy in his heart.

In the foreseeable future, Ming Dynasty will continue to expand rapidly. Although Ming Dynasty has a population of about 200 million, such an expansion rate is far from enough to wait for children to grow up. What's more, given the current medical conditions, the premature death rate is too high, and this problem must also be solved.

Sometimes, I am still too naive. Emperor Chongzhen thought so and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, men are sixteen years old and women are fourteen years old, which is the age when marriage can be discussed. Even when the emperor chose his concubines, he decreed that the women he selected were all between thirteen and sixteen years old. Junior high school students have to get married and have children. In the eyes of future generations, this is really a beast!

What I had thought before was that a decree would allow the Ming Dynasty to change this custom, stipulating that women would not be considered truly adults until they were eighteen years old in later generations, and that late marriage and late childbearing would be conducive to human evolution. If it was implemented in this ancient time, it was probably a fool's errand!

The factory guards and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have been asked to count the number of women giving birth. Currently, only a few places have completed the statistics. This progress is not fast. After all, when someone gives birth to a child, the entire process will not be reported to the government. The government needs to go down to investigate and collect evidence. However, judging from the existing data, the probability of something happening is still very high. Although Ming Dynasty has been able to protect one of them at this time, whether it is the death of an adult or a child, it is still a tragic thing.

When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he suddenly sat up again and said to Queen Zhou in a slightly serious tone: "There is no difficulty that cannot be solved. I have decided that according to the Queen's wishes, the children's school will be divided into two, separated by a wall. Wang, the male and female gentlemen are responsible for the entrance and exit of different doors. Is that okay?"

After hearing this, Queen Zhou was a little puzzled as to why they had to be put together and yet they were so clearly distinguished. Those gentlemen hired by wealthy families to teach their daughters how to read and write are all men!

Although she had some doubts, she quickly answered the emperor's question: "Your Majesty, this should be okay!"

"Haha, that's good!" Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile, "When the future actually matures, for example, when this generation grows bigger, it is estimated that this wall can be broken down!"

"..." Queen Zhou was speechless after hearing this, and she couldn't understand why her husband had all these weird thoughts in his mind.

She was thinking this, but Emperor Chongzhen had another idea for her, and she heard him say to Queen Zhou: "The Queen's mother honors the world and sets an example for women in the world. I thought that the Queen could also learn more about science and technology." , and then when you summon those women of destiny, you can also have one more topic to chat about. Well, in addition to what you talked about before, you can talk more about science and technology. Appropriately show your goodwill towards those women who can talk to you about one or two destiny women. "

"..." Queen Zhou continued to be speechless.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about her, but continued to follow his own ideas: "I don't believe it if the example is followed by the example. Those princes and nobles have no motivation to let the women in their palaces learn some scientific and technical knowledge. In addition, , shouldn’t their school-age daughters also go to children’s schools?”

It goes without saying that if the emperor and empress want to work hard to do something, and the prestige is high enough, then the matter will be done with half the effort. And if an unknown person wants to promote something, he will get twice the result with half the effort.

Needless to say, Empress Zhou was virtuous. She had no reason not to do things that were beneficial to the emperor, or even to her son, the current prince, so she naturally agreed immediately.

For some reason, after having such a conversation with Empress Zhou, Emperor Chongzhen had a deeper understanding of what the ancients said, "Every bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the bustle in the world is for benefit."

When governing a country, we must also pay attention to the word "profit".

However, if you only pay attention to the word "profit" in anything, it is going to an extreme. There must be a shackles, moral constraints, and the specific embodiment is the law.

After sighing for a while, Emperor Chongzhen prepared for a few days and then quietly went out on patrol incognito. People's sentiments need to be personally observed, and achievement values ​​must be harvested. Anyway, there is a chat group system, so you have to go out for a walk every once in a while.

Unlike Emperor Chongzhen who went on tour in a leisurely mood, Tokugawa Iemitsu of the Japanese country of Edo actually did not live a good life. In just the past month, two maids had been beaten to death. One accidentally fell and knocked over a cup; the other accidentally farted loudly and was heard by him.

From this, everyone knew that Tokugawa Iemitsu was in a very bad mood. Therefore, everyone was cautious, fearing that something unexpected would happen to them.

However, they all understand the reason why Tokugawa Iemitsu is in a bad mood. Not to mention the loss of Kyushu, even the southern part of Honshu has been captured by the Japanese. There has been no news of victory for a long time. Now even the local garrison troops in Edo have been transferred out, and I don't know if they can come back with a victory.

Speaking of which, those Jianlu were really cruel and cunning. They used a set of matchlocks to deal with the Japanese, and it was indeed not easy to defeat them.

Just as they thought, Tokugawa Iemitsu stared at a map of the four countries hanging on the wall, without turning his head, and just asked: "Is there any news from the four countries?"

"Not yet." His men replied cautiously, "There are less than 3,000 captives in the four kingdoms. The others are rebels and their combat power is not worth mentioning. Now the general has sent out four times the elite troops of the enemy, We will definitely win a big victory! My subordinates estimate that the good news should be within the next few days!"

Of course Tokugawa Iemitsu thought the same way. If he didn't think that the troops he sent could win the victory, he would not take the risk of sending Edo's troops there.

In fact, since the war last year, especially after the Japanese invaders invaded Honshu, they have been in a passive stage of being beaten by a series of fierce attacks. Although Ishimi Yinshan was saved in the end, the south has been corrupted. Even if all the rebels are finally eliminated and the rebellion is suppressed, it will be difficult to restore its original prosperity.

In the current war situation, the shogunate is basically in a passive defensive stage, and it can be said that morale is very low. This not only affected the subsequent battle situation, but also seriously affected his prestige and the prestige of the shogunate!

Therefore, for Tokugawa Iemitsu, a big victory is needed to boost morale.

Judging from the results of the war, if the Jianlu from the four countries can be eliminated, there will be 3,000 Jianlu, and they will be led by a prince of the Jianlu, which will undoubtedly have a great change in the entire war situation.

Or the army on Shikoku Island should be allowed to land on Kyushu Island without stopping, knock down all the cities that were difficult to conquer before, pull out the roots of rebellion, and finally deal with the remnants on Kyushu Island. Avoiding the enemy's edge and attacking its weakness may be the most advantageous strategy!

Thinking this way, Tokugawa Iemitsu felt a little better.

At present, Jianlu is aggressively attacking Osaka, but he believes that Osaka will not be captured so easily in the short term. When the war in the Four Kingdoms is over, when the head of Prince Jianlu, named Dorgon, appears in Osaka Castle, I guess the emperor of Jianlu, named Dorgon, will be shocked, right?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to it, and ordered his subordinates: "Send fast horses to investigate the situation in Osaka, and report back one day at a time!"

"Hi!" His subordinates agreed upon hearing this and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

At this time, on Shikoku Island, the war situation has indeed reached its final moment.

The city was already in ruins, filled with smoke, and there were countless corpses above and below the city. There are Japanese people and there are Japanese people. The war was obviously very tragic.

Outside the city, there are camps all over the mountains and plains. However, at this time, only half of the camps have smoke rising. But the atmosphere in the camp was not bad. Many Japanese people were talking excitedly, and from time to time they pointed at the dilapidated city with their fingers. Obviously, they thought they could capture the city quickly.

Correspondingly, the ruined city was filled with lifelessness. It was dinner time, but there was no smoke.

In a brick house in the city, a wealthy and rat-tailed Jianlu came into the house holding a bowl of meat-scented soup and reported to a young Jianlu with red eyes in the middle of the room: "Master, Ma Here comes the broth.”

This young Jianlu was none other than Duduo, the leader of the Shikoku Jianlu. Although they had an advantage at the beginning on Shikoku Island, after nearly a year of fighting, many war horses died of illness and there was not enough horse material. You can't even see them, every one of them has lost weight seriously.

Especially at the end of the year, countless Tokugawa shogunate troops suddenly appeared and surrounded Jianlu in the city, and the war horses were completely disabled. There was little food and grassland, and since the battle to defend the city, the city had already begun to eat dead human flesh. Only Duduo still had horse meat to eat.

But at this time, Dodo was not in the mood to drink horse meat soup. With red eyes, he suddenly shouted: "Why, why haven't reinforcements arrived after so long?"

When they had the advantage before, they had already sent a ship to communicate with Dorgon in the state, and the reply they received was that someone would be sent over as soon as possible to respond.

In fact, when they originally came to attack Shikoku Island, Dorgon and Duoduo had already discussed it. Duduo led the troops to attract the attention of the Tokugawa shogunate, allowing Dorgon to successfully attack Honshu. Then, Dorgon will launch a fierce attack to reduce the pressure on the Shikoku side, and finally find an opportunity to bring Duduo to Honshu.

Therefore, Dodo was very happy when the people Duduo sent to his state came back to report the situation in his state. Everything is going according to plan, the war in Honshu is also going smoothly, and the promised support will be here soon.

However, after waiting and waiting, what finally arrived was that the Tokugawa shogunate sent several times more reinforcements to reach Shikoku Island first.

At the beginning, Duduo thought that it would be best to hold on first and consume the enemy's morale and strength. When the supporting troops sent by Dorgon arrived, they would cooperate inside and outside and defeat the Japanese army outside the city in one fell swoop. Such a large number of Japanese troops were severely damaged, and I believe the Tokugawa shogunate must also be in pain.

However, the war has continued, and the hoped-for relief army has not yet appeared. At this time, Duduo was desperate. It was a bit hard for him to believe that Dorgon would not give up on him no matter what, but why didn't he join the army? Isn't it already agreed?

Naturally, he didn't know that Dorgon did send a supporting army and even stormed Osaka himself to attract the attention of the Tokugawa shogunate. But despite all his calculations, he failed to calculate that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was taking the lead to trick them, instigating Hauge to abandon Duduo and do what he thought was right.

In response to Duduo's shouting, his guards were speechless. It's too late to say anything now. The next time the enemy attacks outside the city, it will be impossible for this dilapidated city to block it. If they were in Liaodong, they would advise their masters to break out of the encirclement and leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood.

However, this is Japan and Shikoku Island. Even if we can break through, how can we get rid of the pursuers? There is sea water on all sides. Where can we escape?

Duduo shouted for a while, but no one answered. He couldn't help but angrily snatched the bowl of broth. He didn't care whether it was hot or not. After drinking it in one gulp, he threw it to the ground with a "pop" sound. , the soup bowl broke into countless pieces.

"Damn it, isn't Dorgon very smart? Doesn't he care about his brother's life or death?" Duduo ignored it and scolded Dorgon for the first time, with despair on his face, "Damn it Why did he become an outcast?"

After hearing this, the guards in the room lowered their heads one by one, and no one said anything about it. Their faces also showed despair.

At this moment, the thundering drum sound suddenly sounded outside the city. Obviously, the Tokugawa shogunate army was about to attack the city again.

Duduo was shocked when he heard this. He had fought too many battles, so he naturally understood that this war might be the last one.

The war has been going on until now, and none of the Jianlu, including Duduo, thought of surrendering. Not only were they at odds with each other, but more importantly, their hands were stained with the blood of the Japanese. Even if they wanted to surrender, the Japanese would not agree.

"Damn it, fight these short guys!" Duduo shouted and strode out.

When his guards saw him, they looked at each other and quickly followed.

After a while, the cry of killing resounded over the city again.

Thanks to Peerless Little Golden Pig for the 500 reward, there will be an additional reward of 10,000 in the afternoon.
