1269 Fighting with these dwarfs
Empress Zhou was sighing, and Emperor Chongzhen was also sighing. After such a conversation, he realized that in order to liberate this half of women's sky, there was a long way to go in this ancient society. In fact, in the final analysis, the most important thing that hinders these is that women have no social status, that's it.
The reason why matriarchal society is a matriarchal society is that humans live on women. In this patriarchal society, to fight for more power for the vast majority of women compatriots, the first thing is to enable them to create more social value and become a useful person, an independent person, rather than a vassal of men.
Haha, is it considered to betrayal of the male compatriots in the world? Emperor Chongzhen thought, and he was happy in his heart.
In the foreseeable future, the Ming Dynasty will continue to expand at a rapid speed. Although the population of the Ming Dynasty is about 200 million, it is far from enough to wait for the children to grow up with such an expansion rate. What's more, with the current medical conditions, the population premature death rate is too high, and this problem must also be solved.
Sometimes, I was still too naive. Emperor Chongzhen thought about this and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. According to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, men were sixteen years old and women were fourteen years old, which was the age to talk about marriage. Even the women chosen by the emperor and the emperor ordered were between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. Junior high school students had to marry and have children. This seemed like a beast in the eyes of later generations!
What I thought before was that a decree would make the Ming Dynasty change this custom, and stipulated that women should be considered to be truly adults until later generations believed that late marriage and late childbirth were conducive to human evolution. Implemented in this ancient times was probably a dream!
Only a few places have completed the birth of women in the factory and the Censorate. The progress is not fast. After all, the whole process of giving birth to children will not be reported to the government, and the government needs to go down to investigate and collect evidence. However, according to the existing data, the probability of something happening is still very high. Although the Ming Dynasty can already protect one of them at this time, whether it is a death of adults or a death of children, it is a tragic thing.
When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he suddenly sat up again and said to Empress Zhou slightly seriously: "There is no difficulty, it cannot be solved. I decided to divide the children's school into two according to the queen's wishes, with the walls facing each other, and the different doors are in and out. Is this possible?"
After hearing this, Empress Zhou was a little puzzled. Why did she have to be put together? She still had such a clear distinction. The gentlemen who were rich families invited to teach their daughters to study and read were also men!
Although she had some questions, she quickly answered the emperor's question: "Your Majesty, this should be OK!"
"Haha, that's good!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "When it actually matures in the future, for example, this generation of people is already big, it is estimated that the wall between them can be broken!"
"..." Queen Zhou was speechless when she heard this, and she couldn't understand why her husband had some strange thoughts in her mind.
As she thought so, Emperor Chongzhen put his ideas on her, and he heard him say to Empress Zhou: "The empress's mother is in the world and is an example for women in the world. I think that the empress can also learn more scientific and technological knowledge, and then when summoning those destined women, she can also have a more chat topic. Well, in addition to what she has talked about before, she can talk more about science and technology, and appropriately show her favor for those who can talk to you about one or two destined women."
"..." Empress Zhou continued to be speechless.
Emperor Chongzhen ignored her, but continued to say according to his own ideas: "I don't believe it if I do the best and the lower the results are effective. Those princes and nobles have no motivation to let the women in their mansion learn some science and technology knowledge, etc. In addition, should their daughters of appropriate age go to the children's school to study!"
Speaking of which, if the emperor and the queen have to work hard and have a high prestige, then things will be twice the result with half the effort. And an unknown person who wants to promote something will naturally be half the result with twice the effort.
It goes without saying that Empress Zhou’s virtue is good for the emperor, and even what is beneficial to her son and the current crown prince, she did not make any sense to do it, so she naturally agreed immediately.
For some reason, after talking to Empress Zhou, Emperor Chongzhen had a deeper feeling about what the ancients said, "The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit."
To govern a country, you also need to pay attention to the word "profit".
However, if you only pay attention to the word "profit", it will be an extreme. You must also have a shackle and moral constraints. The concrete manifestation is the law.
After a while of emotion, Emperor Chongzhen prepared for a few days and then went out for a tour in secret. The people's sentiment had to be personally experiencing the achievements and harvesting a wave. Anyway, there was a chat group system, so I had to go out for a walk every once in a while.
Unlike Emperor Chongzhen who went on a tour with a leisurely mood, Tokugawa Iemitsu in Edo, Japan was not doing well. In just one month, two maids had been killed. One accidentally fell and overturned a cup; the other accidentally farted and was heard by him.
From this, everyone knows that Tokugawa Iemitsu is in a bad mood, so everyone is cautious and afraid that they will suffer a sudden disaster.
However, they could understand the reason why Tokugawa Iemitsu was in a bad mood. Not to mention that Kyushu was lost, even the southern part of Honshu had been captured by the Kangu, and there was no news of victory for too long. Now even the local garrison troops in Edo have been transferred out, and I don’t know if I can win a battle.
Speaking of which, those Jianlu were really cruel and cunning. They were all sets of messouls to deal with Japan, and it was really not easy to defeat them.
As they thought, Tokugawa Iemitsu stared at a map of Shikoku hanging on the wall, without turning his head, just asking, "Is there any news on Shikoku?"
"Not yet." His subordinates replied carefully, "The four countries have less than 3,000 people in the camp, and the others are rebellious, and their combat power is not worth mentioning. Now the general has sent four times the elite troops that are as powerful as the enemy, and he will definitely win a great victory! My subordinates guess that the good news should be within these few days!"
Of course, Tokugawa Iemitsu also thought so. If he hadn't felt that the troops sent could win, he wouldn't have taken the risk of pulling Edo's troops over.
It was true that when the war last year came, especially after being captured by Jianlu, a series of fierce attacks were in the passive stage of being beaten. Although Shi Jianyin Mountain was finally saved, the south was already decayed. Even if Jianlu was finally eliminated and those rebels were suppressed, it would be difficult to restore the original prosperity.
In the current situation of the battle, the shogunate is basically in the passive defensive stage, and it can be said that the morale is very low. This not only affects the subsequent situation, but also seriously affects his prestige and the prestige of the shogunate!
Therefore, for Tokugawa Iemitsu, it is very necessary to win a big victory to boost morale.
Judging from the results of the battle, if the Jianlu of the four countries can be eliminated, it would be three thousand Jianlu and a prince commander of Jianlu, which would undoubtedly have a great change in the entire battle situation.
Or the army on Shiguo Island should be allowed to land on Kyushu Island without stopping, and defeat the cities that were difficult to capture before, pull out the rebellious roots, and finally deal with the remnants of Kyushu Island. Avoid the enemy's edge and attack its weakness. This may be the most advantageous countermeasure!
Thinking of this, Tokugawa Iemitsu was feeling a little better.
At present, Jianlu is attacking Osaka in large quantities, but he believes that in the short term, Osaka will not be so easily captured. When the war in the four countries ends, he will be surprised by the head of the Prince of Jianlu, named Dodo, and appearing in Osaka Castle.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little expectant, and instructed his subordinates: "Send a quick horse to inquire about the battle in Osaka again, report it every day!"
"Hi!" When his subordinates heard this, they agreed and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
At this time, on Shikoku Island, the battle situation was indeed at its last moment.
The city was already broken, with smoke everywhere. There were countless corpses on the city and under the city. Some were Japanese and some Jianlu. The war was obviously very tragic.
Outside the city, there were camp tents all over the mountains, but at this time, only half of the camps had smoke rising. But the atmosphere in the camp was still good. Many Japanese people said with excitement and pointed at the broken city from time to time. Obviously, they felt that they could attack the city soon.
Correspondingly, there was a lifeless atmosphere in the broken city. It was the meal time, but no smoke was seen.
In a brick and tile house in the city, a rat-tailed Jianlu, a money-smoked man, entered the house with a bowl of soup with the smell of meat, and told a young Jianlu with red eyes in the middle of the house: "Master, horse meat soup is here."
This young Jianlu was Duoduo, the leader of the Jianlu of Siguo. Although he had the advantage at the beginning, he fought for nearly a year and died of many war horses. There was not enough horse feed, and even the surviving war horses could not be seen. They all lost weight.
Especially at the end of the year, countless Tokugawa shogunate troops suddenly appeared. After surrounding the Kenlu in the city, the war horses were completely abandoned. There were few grains and grass, and until now, the city had already started to eat dead human flesh, only Duoduo and horse meat to eat.
However, at this time, Duoduo was not in the mood to drink horse soup. He had red eyes and suddenly shouted: "Why, why haven't reinforcements come over for so long?"
When they had the advantage before, they had already sent a ship to communicate with Dorgon in their province, and the reply they received would be sent to pick him up as soon as possible.
In fact, when the attack on Shikoku Island, Dorgon and Duoduo agreed. Duoduo led troops to attract the attention of the Tokugawa shogunate, so that Dorgon could successfully attack the present. Then, Dorgon wanted to launch a fierce attack to relieve the pressure on the Shikokuo and find an opportunity to bring Duoduo to the present.
Therefore, when Dudo sent people from his state to come back to report on the situation in his state, Dudo was quite happy. Everything went as planned, and the war in his state went smoothly. The promised response would come soon.
However, when they waited left and right, the Tokugawa Shogunate sent several times the reinforcements to reach Shikoku Island first.
At the beginning, Duoduo thought that this would be the best. He would stick to it first and consume the enemy's morale and vitality. When the troops sent by Dorgon arrived, he would cooperate inside and outside to defeat the Japanese army outside the city. I believe that the Tokugawa shogunate would definitely suffer from so much damage to the Japanese army.
However, the war continued, and the hopeful army did not appear for a long time. At this time, Duoduo was already desperate. He was a little hard to believe. Logically speaking, Dorgon would not give up on him no matter what, but why did he not have the army? Didn’t he agree?
Naturally, he didn't know that Dorgon did send a support army, and even attacked Osaka himself, which was attracting the attention of the Tokugawa Shogunate Army. But he had calculated it hard but didn't count. Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty took the lead and was making trouble for them, instigating Haoge to leave Duoduo and do what he thought was right.
His guards were speechless to Duoduo's yell. It was too late to say anything now. The next attack from the enemy outside the city would be impossible to stop this broken city. If they were in Liaodong, they would also suggest that their master break through and leave the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood.
However, this is Japan and Shikoku Island. Even if you can break through, how can you get rid of the pursuers? It is covered with sea water on all sides. Where can you escape?
Duoduo shouted for a while, but no one answered. He couldn't help but snatch the bowl of the broth in anger. He didn't care whether it was hot or not. After drinking it, he suddenly fell to the ground, making a "pop" sound, and the soup bowl was broken into countless pieces.
"Damn, isn't Dorgon very smart? Just don't care about his brother's life or death?" Duoduo ignored him and scolded Dorgon for the first time, his face full of despair, "Why did I become an abandoned son?"
When the guards in the house heard this, they all lowered their heads, and no one said anything about it. Despair was also revealed on their faces.
At this moment, a shocking drum sound suddenly sounded outside the city. It was obvious that the Tokugawa shogunate army was about to start siege again.
Duoduo was shocked when he heard the sound. He had fought too much, so he naturally understood that this war would be the last one.
Until now, Jianlu, including Duoduo, has never thought of surrendering. Not only is it incompatible, but more importantly, their hands are covered with blood from the Japanese. Even if they want to surrender, the Japanese will probably not agree.
"Damn it, I've fought with these short sluts!" Duoduo shouted and walked out with great strides.
When his guards saw each other, they looked at each other and quickly followed.
After a while, the shouts of killing sounded over the city again.
Chapter completed!
