The Rise of the European Emperor

At this time, Zhengde suddenly remembered something and asked: \u00261t;/p\u003e

"No, according to what you said, Europe is the primogeniture system. You are not the eldest son. Even if your mother's revenge is avenged and the country is regained, it should be your elder brother who succeeds him, right?"\u00261t ;/p\u003e

Marin nodded and said: \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Your Majesty is right. It stands to reason that my elder brother should indeed be the one to succeed. However, I sent troops to defeat the vassal state that my grandfather lost. Therefore, my elder brother gave up the position of vassal to me. However, this It is not in accordance with etiquette, so in return, I gave this county to my elder brother as a fief, and even allowed him to recruit troops by himself."\u00261t;/p\u003e

"So that's it. It's like Tang Xuanzong's elder brother asked Emperor Li Xian?" Emperor Zhengde didn't consider whether a man like Ma Lin understood Chinese history. Fortunately, Marin really understands...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Marin agreed: \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Your Majesty is wise, that's exactly the case! In fact, the country my grandfather lost was just a small uncle country. Later, I started as a mercenary, fought everywhere, gathered a large army, and finally regained it. The grandfather's country. Then, he continued to fight and expanded the country more than 30 times before being named Grand Duke by the emperor..." Marin originally wanted to say that Maximilian I belonged to the king. However, fearing to irritate the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, he simply called him the king. \u00261t;/p\u003e

At this time, the upright Yang Tinghe suddenly asked: \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Master Ma, since you have a king above you, why did you come to pay homage to Daming again? Does your king know? If you don't know, isn't the lord the one minister serving two masters?"\u00261t;/p\u003e

Suddenly, many Qingliu ministers in the court looked at Marin with contempt. Because, the Chinese tradition pays attention to "one minister does not serve two masters, and one daughter does not marry two husbands". \u00261t;/p\u003e

Marin replied calmly: \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Old Yang Ge doesn't know something. The country I live in is called the Holy Roman Kingdom, and the ruler of the country is a great king (yes, the emperor has become a great king. In fact, this understanding is not wrong. After all, there is really nothing wrong with Emperor Shenluo. The characteristics of the emperor). However, the great king does not have any real power and cannot directly manage the princes. His status is actually equivalent to that of Zhou Tianzi in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The great king can be canonized and recognized as a hegemon, but he is not qualified to manage the affairs of various countries. In fact, the status of the Beihai Kingdom and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period are similar. The land area of ​​the Beihai Kingdom is about the same as that of South Korea, and the population is smaller than that of South Korea..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Besides, there are endless wars in the country of Shenluo. Therefore, the mere Beihai country has 60,000 troops, and they are soldiers. Otherwise, it will be difficult to survive in this troubled country."\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Then why did the Lord of the Horse come to Daming?" asked a Hanlin scholar. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"I came here to admire the majesty of the Celestial Dynasty. I want to come to the most prosperous and powerful country at this time to have a look, and to regard Daming as the suzerain of the world..." Marin boasted shamelessly. \u00261t;/p\u003e

However, the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty liked this the most, and they all showed proud and confident expressions...\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Secondly, Daming is rich in products, which are not available in the world. Therefore, I hope to purchase various materials in Daming for daily use."\u00261t;/p\u003e

After a pause, Marin cried poorly: \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Your Majesty and my lords don't know that Europe is poor. In Europe, even the kings and ministers of the country can hardly wear such fine silk clothes. Usually, Ma, as the country's lord, only Can wear woolen clothes. Wool clothes,

Everyone understands, the smell... Woohoo, I feel so happy to be able to wear the silk court robe bestowed by the court, and I am reluctant to take it off..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

Marin was fully fired, started to play, and even shed a few tears...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Both Zhengde and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Marin with sympathy, and at the same time took it for granted——a small barbarian country, it should be like this...\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Also, the nobles of the Beihai Kingdom, including this humble one, don't use porcelain for their meals and tea, and they still use inferior pottery. Ma saw that any commoner in Ming Dynasty can use porcelain bowls Eating, my eyes are red with jealousy..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter in the Golden Luan Hall. Hearing what Marin said, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were extremely proud—look, Daming is just...\u00261t;/p\u003e

"In fact, the Beihai country is poor and weak, and cannot offer anything of great value as a tribute. But the Beihai country has the most sophisticated guns in the world, and it is still available. Therefore, the tribute this time was originally made of arquebus guns and Francois cannons. Mainly..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

At this time, Cao Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War who took the money, interrupted in a timely manner: \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Dare to ask Lord Ma, why is your country poor and weak, but the firecrackers (guns) and artillery are so sharp?"\u00261t;/p\u003e

Marin thought for a while and replied: \u00261t;/p\u003e

"In our Europe, there is a famous saying that 'Need is the mother of civilization'. Although Europe is poor and weak, wars are endless, and people are killed every day. Therefore, in order to survive and defeat the opponent, all countries attach great importance to the improvement of firearms. Whenever there is The craftsmen who improve the sharp firearms will be rewarded heavily. Stimulated by the war and rewards, the firearms of Beihai Kingdom have made rapid progress, and even surpassed Ming Dynasty in terms of level... "\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Of course, it's not because the craftsmen of Beihai State are better than those of Daming. It's because the Ming Dynasty has been at peace for a long time. Although there is no 'swords and guns in the warehouse, horses are released in Nanshan', we have slacked off a lot. And if we in Beihai State do not pay attention to the importance of firearms Improvement, is likely to subjugate the country. That's why the Beihai country was lucky enough to survive the extremely powerful Ming Dynasty with firearms..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

What Ma Lin said was very reasonable, and it also aroused the thinking of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Needs are the mother of Ming...wonderful..." Bi Heng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty, his eyes were blinded after hearing this, and he quickly asked the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to write down this sentence. \u00261t;/p\u003e

In order to take care of the face of the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Marin added tactfully: \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Actually, the fact that I attach so much importance to firearms has something to do with Daming..." Marin decided to be far-fetched...\u00261t;/p\u003e

"How?" Emperor Zhengde asked enthusiastically. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"At the end of my life, I met my teacher. My teacher came to Daming and learned a lot of Chinese history from my master Chongxu. He told me that Emperor Taizong of Ming Dynasty (Ming Chengzu was not called Chengzu originally, The temple name was originally Taizong. Emperor Jiajing changed it to Chengzu in order to bring his dead ghost Xingwang father into the Taimiao in the name of the emperor.) He took hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the desert with the Shenji camp using firearms. The defeat of the army established the stability of the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the minister was inspired by this, and when he was a general, he attached great importance to the improvement of firearms. All craftsmen who improved firearms were rewarded. Therefore, they created the unparalleled Firearms... So, I was able to think of improving firearms because I was inspired and inspired by Emperor Taizong's deeds..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

Immediately, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief—is that right? How can a barbarian country surpass Ming Dynasty? It turned out that he was inspired by Emperor Taizong... Well, it was also thanks to Daming... The guy surnamed Ma seems to be the disciple of a Daoist priest of the Ming Dynasty... Well, he is one of his own...\u00261t;/p\u003e

Then, the officials looked at Marin even more pleasing to the eye...\u00261t;/p\u003e
