Chapter 314 Introducing the World
Previously, the Ming Dynasty was in danger. Zhao Ming wanted to do something, but he was always interrupted because of the dangers in the Ming Dynasty. He had to put down his work and rescue the Ming Dynasty first.
Now that the Ming Dynasty finally entered the stage of confrontation with the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Ming could start to make his own arrangements and do what he wanted to do.
Opening a new industry, opening a commercial press, and running a tabloid are all very important things for Zhao Ming.
Industry is to develop handicrafts and carry out primitive accumulation, thereby promoting social change. The establishment of a commercial press is for the exchange between the East and the West. The purpose of running tabloids is mainly because Zhao Ming wanted to introduce the external world to the Ming Dynasty through newspapers.
While Zhao Ming was preparing to promote the anti-Qing Dynasty through tabloids and attract readers, he also spent a certain amount of time to introduce the situation of many Western countries, as well as the current hot voyage and the colonial craze in the West.
Newspapers were born very early in China. Some people sold tabloids since the Song Dynasty. Zhao Ming decided to run a tabloid, but how to gain influence was a problem to open up sales.
In early March, Zhao Ming boarded a boat from Fuzhou and headed for Taiwan.
Before leaving, the news that Duoduo died of illness in Nanjing finally flew across thousands of mountains and spread to Fujian.
The death of illness was the Qing Dynasty. The Zhejiang Army knew that Duoduo should have died after being severely injured by Li Yuanyin.
The Qing Dynasty did not dare to admit this, and even dared to die. It was wanted for a while, but the secret spies from the Tiandihui learned the news and spread the news of Duoduo's death. The Qing Dynasty could not stop seeing that Duoduo was killed.
A prince was beaten to death by the Ming army, which had a great impact. Even if the Qing Dynasty said Duoduo died of sexually transmitted diseases, he was unwilling to admit that he was beaten to death by the Ming army.
Along with the news of Duoduo's death, there was also news that the Qing Dynasty had been widely conferred the king.
Yue Le, the grandson of Nurhaci and the son of Abatai, was named Prince An, the second son of Ajige, Fulehe, was named Prince Cheng, and the fourth son of Lou was personally named Prince Shen, and the fourth son of Daishan, Wakda was named Prince Qian.
In addition, Duoduo's second son, Dhoni, inherited the title of Prince Yu, Mandahai, the son of Daishan, inherited the title of Prince Li. In addition, Luo Keduo, who was named Prince Yanxi, and Shuncheng County Prince Luke Dehun, suddenly a large number of princes appeared in the Qing Dynasty.
After hearing this news, it can be seen that Dorgon, facing the gradual decline of the older generation of the Qing Dynasty, began to launch the third or even the fourth generation of the young clans of the Qing Dynasty to take on great tasks.
There were so many more kings at once, which was very intimidating. When Zhu Yihai bid farewell to Zhao Ming, he told Zhao Ming about the news and expressed his concerns.
Zhao Ming smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, you have to be granted the title of king. I see that the Qing Dynasty is almost over."
On the ninth day of the lunar month, Zhao Ming bid farewell to Zhu Yihai and others, boarded a ship in Shanghai, and rode the wind and waves to Taiwan.
With the development of Taiwan, the center of gravity of the Ming army in the East China Sea was transferred from Zhoushan to Taiwan, and most of the personnel retreated to Taiwan.
On the 13th, Zhao Ming landed in Tamsui, and the commander-in-chief and his staff came to the dock to greet him.
"Welcome the Duke's flag to win!" Chen Mingyu and others bowed and smiled when they saw Zhao Ming walking down the wharf.
Zhao Ming smiled and waved his hand and asked, "I am not here, how are the governance of Taiwan Island?"
Chen Mingyu said: "Last year after the Duke of the State left Taiwan, Commander Wang defeated the Dadu natives in Dadu Creek. Now the Spaniards in Chicken Cloak decided to surrender. Taiwan is basically peaceful and all garrisons have resumed normal production."
Zhao Ming nodded when he heard the word, and then asked: "What are the conditions for the Spanish surrender?"
Chen Mingyu said: "They only have one request, which is to let them leave the chicken coop. We don't know what conditions should be raised, so we waited for the Duke to make a decision."
"Does of the Spanish send letters to surrender?" Zhao Ming asked casually as he walked.
Chen Mingyu thought for a moment, "It's February 15th."
"That's all, it's been more than half a month, so they probably are anxious." Zhao Ming smiled slightly, then waved his hand: "I won't go to Tamsuiwei, sir and I will go straight to Jilong City first."
After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he looked at the people who were greeting him and saw that one was Chen Zilong.
After the Taihu Rebel Army was wiped out by the Qing army, Chen Zilong fled to Zhoushan. Zhao Ming appointed him as the instructor of the martial arts lecture hall and taught the officers to read.
"Mr. Ozu, let's go together!" Zhao Ming then said.
The group left Tamsui Port, and the soldiers brought horses and drove slowly.
On the way, Zhao Ming said to Chen Zilong: "Mr. Ozu, I have something I want to entrust to Mr. Yu."
Chen Zilong smiled and said, "Duke just tells me."
Zhao Ming did not say it directly, but asked first: "What do you think of this island by sir?"
Chen Zilong looked at the rice fields on both sides of the road and said with great emotion: "I was surprised, it can be called a sea granary!"
Zhao Ming nodded, "There are countless islands like this on the ocean. I want to publish a newspaper to introduce many overseas islands, as well as the Eastern, Southern and Western countries. I want to use my reputation to let people know about this newspaper. Mr., please help me."
Chen Zilong was a famous scholar in Jiangnan. His prestige in Shilin was second only to Qian Qianyi, Liu Zongzhou and others.
Now that Liu Zongzhou is dead, Qian Qianyi has a bad reputation, and Chen Zilong is very prestigious. He can be said to be one of the anti-Qing leaders of the scholars in Jiangnan and is very famous in the world.
If this great talented man wrote a few articles, it would definitely allow scholars to pay attention to the newspapers run by Zhao Ming.
Chen Zilong thought about it and frowned and said, "Duke, it's not impossible, but I don't understand the overseas situation, so I'm afraid I can't write a good article."
Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Sir, you only need to write about what you have seen in Taiwan or what you have done in the Qing Dynasty. I will ask someone else to write about those."
Zhao Ming just wanted to use Chen Zilong's fame to increase the popularity of the newspaper, and then write something that he wanted to influence the world.
Zhao Ming even wanted to write about the rise of a great power and talk about the history of Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands to create a sense of urgency for the Ming people and make the knowledgeable people of the Ming Dynasty realize that the Ming Dynasty was in a period of drastic changes and turbulent times.
If the Ming Dynasty did not join the rising wave of this era, it might eventually be eliminated.
Chen Zilong pondered: "If I just write down some experiences and feelings, I can respond."
Seeing this, Zhao Ming nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's make up."
At this time, Zhao Ming and his group ran, and a prosperous village suddenly appeared in front of them.
Zhao Ming was slightly stunned. All the way, the forts were very simple. Why did the village in front of him have all been built to the periphery of Tunbao, and there were many caravans entering and leaving?
Zhao Ming couldn't help but snatch the horse and said, "Is there a new acropolis here?"
Chen Mingyu shook his head, "This is Tamsui Guard, and there is no other acropolis!"
