The Prince of Wu of the Ming Dynasty

The purpose of the so-called "sea ban" in ancient times was to restrict and eliminate rebel forces, combat piracy and smuggling, and ensure social stability. The "Sea Ban" was only promulgated when there were Japanese pirates. Rather than "sea ban" first, there will be Japanese pirates. Don't reverse the causal relationship. Sea ban and seclusion are two different things. The direct cause of the Japanese rebellion was the civil strife in Japan. In order to make a living and seek wealth, the feudal lords, samurai and ronin who failed in the war organized into armed gangs and went to China's coastal areas with pirate merchants to carry out armed smuggling and robbery and other criminal acts Ming Dynasty literature is actually quite strict about nouns. Pirates, sea pirates, Japanese pirates and Japanese slaves all refer to completely different groups. Japanese pirates are divided into slave thieves and sub-thieves. The Ming Dynasty called these people differently. If they were pirate merchants, they were called pirates. If they are Japanese, they are called Japanese pirates. There is a clear distinction. For example, the Ming Dynasty court and the local chronicles of Zhejiang Province distinguished between Japanese pirates and pirate merchants who colluded with Japanese pirates. Wang Zhi was the largest pirate merchant on the southeast coast at that time. He raised a large number of Japanese pirates to cause trouble, but the record about him clearly stated that he was a pirate merchant, while the Japanese he raised were recorded as Japanese pirates. They have never been mixed together The Japanese can be divided into two types. One is the pirate group headed by Wang Zhi who has inextricable interests with the Japanese pirates. The other is the pirate group whose wives and children were held hostage by the Japanese pirates and forced to attack the town The Japanese pirates are the Japanese pirates as described in Jixiao's new book Military Training Records. The Japanese pirates are Japanese pirates. Forced Japanese pirates were classified as rescued people, while pirate groups were classified as rebels. They were not confused with each other The main force, logistics, bases, and channels for selling stolen goods were all provided by Japan. And the disappearance of coastal Japanese pirates had a great relationship with the changes in Japan. Since the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1603, the Warring States Period in Japan ended, and vassal states from all over the country collected troops and put them into the treasury. Ma Fang Nanshan Soon after, the Tokugawa shogunate issued a lock-down order. Japanese citizens were not allowed to run around. They stayed at home, men farmed and women weaved, and the economy was restored. Then look at historical data. Starting from 1603, the Japanese rebellion in the late Ming Dynasty began to slowly decrease. The last Japanese pirates seen in history books invaded the coast of Fujian in July of the fourth year of the Apocalypse (1624). From 1633 to 1639, the Tokugawa shogunate issued five consecutive lock-down orders. The Japanese pirates are completely extinct The direct cause of the Japanese pirate rebellion is the civil strife in Japan. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Japan split into the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and wars between the two sides continued. In order to make a living and seek wealth, the feudal lords, samurai and ronin who failed in the war organized into armed gangs and went to the coastal areas of China with pirate merchants to carry out armed smuggling and robbery and other criminal acts. Because the main force came from Japan, they were called Japanese pirates at the time Japanese pirates Ancient name) Japanese pirates (bandits or foreign invaders of national borders) Japanese pirates refer to the Japanese. Chinese people want to be Japanese pirates unless they have Japanese household registration. The Japanese pirates are composed of Japanese samurai ronin, Japanese pirates, and Japanese merchants Sea bans have been in place since the Song Dynasty😲😲 The "Book of Taizong" in "History of the Song Dynasty" records that Zhao Guangyi "banned sea merchants" in September of the second year of Yongxi (985). According to the "History of the Song Dynasty·Shihuo Zhi", Zhao Guangyi stipulated private trade with overseas countries in the early years of Taiping and Xingguo (976) Anyone who trades for more than 100 coins will be sentenced, and those who trade for more than 15 coins will have their faces tattooed and be exiled to the island. In other words, Zhao Guangyi not only completely banned overseas trade, but also completely banned land trade with foreign countries. He did not do it on a whim, but implemented it as a long-term national policy. In the fifth year of Chunhua (994), the ban was specifically reiterated, and the punishment laws were also very harsh. It was a crime to have more than 100 guan, and if the amount exceeded 15 guan, one would be tattooed on the face and sent to an island. Later, it was stipulated that those with more than 4 guan would be sentenced to one year in prison, and 20 guan would be sentenced to local service with tattoos on the face. The "History of Song Dynasty: The Benji of Emperor Gaozong" records that in the seventh month of the fourth year of Jianyan (1130), he "banned shipping merchants from Fujian, Guangzhou, Huaihe and Zhejiang to Shandong, and was considered to be the guide of Jinren Township". Not only that, he also issued an edict in August of the second year of Shaoxing (1132) to confiscate the ships of the coastal people and replace them every year to guard the dangerous sea lanes. In essence, it was not much different from the sea ban. According to the "History of the Song Dynasty·Shi Huo Zhi", Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty established a market in the twelfth year of Shaoxing (1142), so he took wax tea as the basis of the market. All the crotch, cut, piece and collar, regardless of how high or low they were, were scrutinized by the officials, and smuggling into the sea was strictly prohibited." That is to say, the overseas trade of wax tea was prohibited.

Only reducing the benefits of clans has limited effect. If there are more clans in the future, they can arrange to form the "Zhu Family Army" (the lower-level clans in the fifth server have the least risk, and let the clans pay blood tax to reduce some of the population burden). Zhu Yuanzhang had a similar idea. As a result, because of Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen, the Ming clan cannot be used later. It is a pity that these are all human resources! (Big In Volume 17 of the Ming Huidian, officials and gentry paid taxes as one, and even the vassal kings had to pay taxes. It was illegal to donate and annex land. Once someone reported that the whole family was exiled, the land was distributed to the surrounding people. However, later supervision and restrictions were relaxed, and it was useless to reduce the treatment of the clan in history. The Ming Dynasty finally died of poverty.) The clan could take the imperial examination, which was restored in the Wanli Dynasty. Even if you don't go to war, you can recruit workers in factories🏭, set up the Internal Revenue Service, and let the lower-level clans serve as violent tax collection teams. You can also set up a royal academy for the clans to study astronomy, geography, mathematics, medicine, physics, chemistry, machinery, art... To contribute to human civilization. To make contributions, don't forget to ennoble vassal kings overseas😏 When the clan has more members, you can also find these distant relatives to perform corvee service. The most important thing is that you don't have to pay 💰💰💰 Let the clan make money and respect the emperor😎 It's rare to be an emperor in time travel. If you can't make the capitalists jealous, the emperor will be in vain. The so-called "civilian group" is essentially a group of representatives of interests from different regions competing for power in the court. They are not monolithic. In the middle and later stages, party strife will only occur when the emperor's authority and control declines. If these groups of scholar-bureaucrats are divided, they can use the share dividends of some factories and chambers of commerce to win over them. "We must make many friends and few enemies." It can be improved. The status of the three ancestor gods Xuanyuan Huangdi, Fuxi, and Nuwa enhances the legitimacy of the protagonist's authority (the three ancestors are the protagonist's predecessors😏) and increases the cohesion and assimilation ability, which provides justice and legitimacy for the complete incorporation and assimilation of surrounding ethnic minorities. On the high ground of faith, we not only need local Taoism and other philosophical sects, but also have ancestral beliefs as firewalls😎, and they will not go astray as easily as religions🔥 In China, ancestral beliefs are very important. It is related to the legitimacy of the court, the authority of elders and parents, and the consensus of the people😊 Even if the feudal dynasty, Confucianism, and religion are gone in the future, the people of China can be reunited.

Utopian industrialization🙂

By the way, can Emperor Jianwen still become emperor? He can also carry out his plan to kill the nine tribes

The essence of the Ming Dynasty civil servant group was. Oppose all taxes. Nothing you say will do. When Wanli went to Chongzhen, he abolished commercial taxes three times. How can it be possible for these official and business families to pay taxes honestly if they are all in business? The crooked way of collecting taxes in the United States is feasible 😁😁😁. It is recommended to file your own tax returns. Just let the notification arrive. Paying less than a penny directly sold all the family assets. Making a lot of money is no better than collecting a few taxes. Another song: Corruption is not a crime. Taxes have skyrocketed😁😁It's just the right thing to force the people out to colonize

After reading Chapter 150, I had a strange feeling. It didn't feel so vivid, it felt mechanical, like a bystander. The author's Ming Dynasty 1805 gives people an immersive feeling. Then when the Ming Dynasty did not revolution, it seemed to have a feeling of being outside the story. This feeling is even stronger in this book.

The number of people on the book club has been growing, from over 5,000 to over 8,000, but there have been no comments in the comment section🤔

The foundation of the modern social system is actually logistics. What the protagonist needs to solve should actually be the bearings and the steam engine. The sealing of the steam engine relies on hemp rope in the early stage and the machining accuracy of the alloy kit in the later stage. It has nothing to do with rubber. The most important thing is to solve the material problem, the fastest The only way to make crucible steel is to use wrought iron. Graphite is also easy to handle in Shandong. At most, a preheating chamber can reach sufficient temperature for making coke. Only with a steam engine can the converter steel be made. Only with a steam engine can the machine tool have enough power. Only then can it be possible to create seamless steel pipes.

I still want to read books like the previous two, about competing with the West and colonizing the Ming Dynasty 🙂

I have read seven or eight novels about time-travelling babies, but this one is the only one that considers the fact that the baby's voice can't be controlled and his eyes can't see after birth. It is also reasonable for the protagonist to go overseas if he does not seize the throne, because if he seizes the throne, the arrogant soldiers of the princelings may not let him live to adulthood.
