"Burying the Qing Dynasty ()"

Zeng Cheng would rather face people like Howard who are full of hatred for the Ming Dynasty than face fanatics like Pierre.

As a French Enlightenment thinker, litterateur, philosopher, the king of French thought, the best poet in France, the conscience of Europe, the biggest elite, the leader of the country, the leader of fifty cents, a student of Voltaire's bachelor, Pierre

After Er saw the difference between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, he firmly believed that the Ming Dynasty was the ancient oriental country filled with gold described by Marco Polo, and the ideal country in the minds of his teacher and himself.

As for the Tatars?

A group of barbaric, vulgar and rude people who only know how to plunder and not know how to produce.

According to Pierre, his teacher, Voltaire, who had criticized European monarchy all his life, was a die-hard fan of Chinese Confucian culture. He admired Confucius very much and even hung a portrait of Confucius in the chapel of his home day and night.

Worship.

In Voltaire's eyes, the Confucian "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness" are the culture of true equality, freedom, and fraternity. China at that time was a model of an enlightened autocratic monarchy, and it was the object of France's study.

He also called the Chinese "the most rational people of all people" at that time.

The one who can be as "hardcore" as Voltaire is another French bachelor, Quesnay. Quesnay wrote China's Confucian culture and political system as "Chinese Autocratic System", and was also called "European Confucianism" for this reason.

"Master".

In a private conversation with Zeng Cheng, Pierre even cursed me Taqing: "Those damn barbarians, they whitewashed one feudal, autocratic, cruel monarch after another into a wise, mighty and wise monarch. They deceived me.

The teacher also deceived all Europeans."

"It's a pity that my teacher, Grand Bachelor Voltaire, was summoned to heaven by God early. Otherwise, he would definitely come to Ming Dynasty to see with his own eyes what the Golden Kingdom is."

"However, fortunately, Grand Maester Denis Diderot and Grand Maester Paul Henri Holbach are still alive, and they still have a chance."

For Zeng Cheng, Englishmen like Howard, who were full of hatred for the Ming Dynasty, were not scary. What was scary was Ming fanatics like Pierre.

They wanted to learn everything about the Ming Dynasty, and even wished France could move back to all the Ming Dynasty's systems.

In 1735 AD, the French missionary Doucheid, who had never been to China, completed a difficult task: relying only on the letters and records of the missionaries sent to China, he translated the Ming Dynasty's agricultural classic "The Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs"

Volumes 31 to 39 of.

After that, these eight volumes of documents recording China's sericulture and cotton cultivation spread rapidly in Europe, with English and other versions appearing one after another. Tsarist Russia also specially imported and translated it into Russian.

Moreover, such a "difficult" breakthrough is not caused by any missionary being overly enthusiastic.

In 1765 AD, French Finance Minister Turgot gave fifty-two tasks to the French missionaries who were about to go to China, including learning China's papermaking, fruit cultivation, agronomy and other technologies, China's unique giant

Paper manufacturing technology, tung oil production technology, etc. were continuously brought to Europe by these missionaries. Even grain seeds and tea growing technology were gradually learned by the Europeans during this period.

Even for porcelain, as early as 1717 AD, the French missionary Yin Hongxu, who was secretly investigating in Jingdezhen, successfully mastered the firing method. In 1768 AD, France fired exquisite hard porcelain, thus breaking the

The export monopoly of Chinese porcelain.

Zeng Cheng still remembered the unconcealed excitement, show-off, disdain for the Tatars, and expectations for the future on Pierre's face when he told him these things.

If I were still the prefect of Tai'an Prefecture in the Qing Dynasty, then how much Pierre learned would be Pierre's business and had nothing to do with me, the prefect of Tai'an Prefecture, who was not even qualified to be a slave.

But now he is the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty,

If something like this, which was most hated by the Ming Emperor, happened during his term of office, wouldn't he be infamy for eternity?

When he thought that the people who could follow Pierre to visit Ming Dynasty must be French people similar to Pierre, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but want to pull out his hair.

This is different from the French students who came to Ming Dynasty - the French students can learn something easily, but these French nobles are not easy to grasp.

But when Zeng Cheng had a headache and wanted to pull out his hair, Zhu Jinsong said with a smile: "Zeng Futai made things too troublesome - the nobles of Europa are nobles because of their origins, even if they are

As long as a pig can successfully reincarnate into the Bourbon family, then this pig is also a noble."

"It is very difficult to find a few scholars among the more than two hundred people. The rest are basically dignitaries who come to see the strange things. These people are the best to deal with."

If the person who said this was not Zhu Jinsong, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but someone else, Zeng Cheng would probably have to ask, "Did you eat lamp grass ashes?" Otherwise, how could you let out such a light fart!

The problem is that it was Zhu Jinsong who said this, so Zeng Cheng could only ask with hesitation: "I wonder what the emperor has ingenious plan?"

Zhu Jinsong said: "Let people dig out the Zhou rites from the pile of old papers and teach them the "rituals"."

"These noble men of Europe, the more complicated and complicated the etiquette is, the more willing they are to learn it, as if this is the only way to prove that they are superior to others. It just so happens that Zhou etiquette is enough to meet their needs."

"Since Louis XIV a hundred years ago could hold a ball for the "King of China", let them study Zhou etiquette and strive to do a better job next time."

On January 7, 1700 AD, Louis XIV dressed in Chinese costumes, slowly walked out of an eight-carat sedan chair in the magnificent Palace of Versailles, and held a grand new century dance called "The Ball of China".

King's "Chinese Ball" represented the new fashion of "China Fever" that was popular in Europe for a whole century.

After hearing the news, Zeng Cheng suddenly became happy: "This old money-deaf dog can learn everything from his grandfather. He even learned the problems of going to Jiangnan. Could it be that Louis XVI of France also learned from Qian-deaf old man?"

Like a dog?”

Zhu Jinsong glanced at Zeng Cheng with disgust and mocked: "Louis XV is the great-grandson of Louis XIV, and Louis XVI is the grandson of Louis XV. If we really count, Louis XVI should be the fifth of Louis XIV."

Sun."

Zeng nodded sincerely, and then became more energetic: "These barbarians really don't know what is said. The great-grandson of Louis XIV actually uses the reign name of Louis XV. It is really inconvenient. In my opinion, it is better to use the reign name instead."

I also taught them the etiquette.”

"There are also posthumous titles, temple titles, and the language and characters of our Ming Dynasty. Let them learn them. Most people may not be able to understand these things in a lifetime."

"When they have learned enough, I will grant them a few more titles of Ming Scholars, and I can also use their hands to help translate books on Europa."

In a blink of an eye, Zeng Cheng arranged the arrangements for these French nobles so clearly that even Zhu Jinsong was dumbfounded.

Compared with Zeng Cheng and Zeng Futai, Zhu Jinsong felt that he was quite magnanimous.

…

While Zeng Cheng was making clear arrangements for Pierre and other French nobles, Pierre was happily introducing the Ming Dynasty to the nobles on the ship, as well as various precautions after arriving in the Ming Dynasty.

"Please remember, gentlemen, madams, and ladies, in the Ming Dynasty, please remember to respect everyone. If you are friendly to them, you will gain their kindness."

"Please remember, you must put away your arrogance, gentlemen, madams, and ladies, because anyone here may have ancestors who were emperors thousands of years ago, and they are all nobles passed down from generation to generation."

As Pierre's words fell, all the French nobles on the ship couldn't help but cover their mouths.

"Oh my god, this is really unbelievable. Thousands of years of nobles are really unimaginable."

"I want to know, how many years does our French history last? Is it a thousand years?"

“Are they older than the Roman Empire?”

Pierre shrugged his shoulders and said: "Yes, the inheritance of thousands of years has never been cut off. Whether it is the royal family or the common people, they all have their own, emmmm, family trees. They have family trees that can prove that their families have

There are people from every generation.”

"The same is true for the history of the country. They have a complete set of recording methods, including the year, the person, and what happened. They are all clearly recorded."

"From this point of view, our so-called history in France, or the entire history of Europe, is simply a joke - so don't tell them about our history, otherwise, they will misunderstand that we are barbarians without history.

People, just like the Tatars we had contact with before."

At this point, Pierre shrugged again and said with an air of humor: "Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars we had come into contact with before were simply a group of shameful robbers, thieves, and executioners. They took advantage of the Ming Dynasty to

He invaded the Ming Dynasty during the chaos and enslaved the citizens of the Ming Dynasty."

"They whitewashed those despicable, shameless, feudal, authoritarian, and cruel monarchs into wise monarchs and holy lords, and they deceived all Europeans."

"Fortunately, the brave and fearless people of the Ming Dynasty never stopped resisting, even though the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed for more than 150 years, until now the Ming Emperor appeared, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com they finally succeeded."

"Gentlemen, madams, and ladies, let us raise our glasses and congratulate our French allies in the Far East for re-establishing the Ming Empire. We also congratulate those of us on having the opportunity to see the magical country filled with gold described by Marco Polo."

A group of Roman nobles were so excited by what Pierre said that they all picked up their cups and shouted: "To our Far Eastern allies of France!"

"We also respect ourselves!"

After everyone drank all the red wine in their glasses, Pierre continued: "Listen, gentlemen, madams, and ladies, in the land of Ming Dynasty, never say anything that the emperor of the Republic of China did not do well.

.”

"Even if you hear their citizens commenting on their emperor, don't interrupt rashly, because this is the right given to them by the laws of the Ming Dynasty. They can even blatantly say that the Ming Emperor is a fool, but if you dare to say it,

The consequences could be serious."

"Doing this will not only be very rude, but the citizens of the Ming Dynasty may also think that you do not respect their emperor - they will be hostile to you because of this, and may notify the government and expel you from the country."

"Believe me, the laws of the Ming Dynasty are infinitely biased in favor of the citizens of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of protecting civilians, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did a better job than all the monarchs in the history of Europe."

"In addition, gentlemen, please do not hug the women you see. Even if you are trying to express your enthusiasm, they will think you are a barbarian who does not understand etiquette, because people in the Ming Dynasty are very reserved in their feelings. If you hug them rashly,

An unknown woman will only bring you trouble."
