A few months later.

The Gulf of Mexico, the area of ​​New Orleans in later generations.

The French colonists occupying this place were still sleeping, while a large number of short shogunate troops had already touched them.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

For a moment, gunfire sounded.

Many French and Japanese were shot dead because of this.

Other unkilled Fayi were also awakened.

"Damn the Oriental Devil! Come again! Retreat quickly!"

Frank, a French officer, knew that it was the shogunate attack, because a lot of incidents such as the shogunate attacks have occurred in recent times.

At the beginning, Fayi dared to fight back.

But after several battles, they had to admit that their backward troops were no match for the shogunate army and had no other result except being tortured and killed.

That's right, after the Japanese gained power in the Western world, they also acted very cruelly and liked to kill Western barbarians and wounded soldiers. Only uninjured Western barbarian prisoners would not be tortured and used as slaves.

Therefore, after learning that the shogunate army had successfully attacked and entered the castle, Frank had to retreat in a hurry.

The shogunate army continued to pursue the victory and plundered the Fayi colonies in crazily.

Because this place is far from the Ming Dynasty, and the main energy of the Ming Dynasty is still digesting areas such as the Rakshasa Kingdom and the Japanese island, and they are mainly trade and military as supplements, so the shogunate army took this opportunity to expand its colonial territory very much.

At the same time, the shogunate army also plundered a large amount of wealth in the process of expanding its colonies.

But most of these wealth fell into the treasury of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the minerals seized can only be sold to the company in Daming.

Because the military equipment and energy and fuel of the Shogunate army were all supplied by the Ming Dynasty, he himself lacked the technology to manufacture new firearms and mine and process minerals.

However, because the shogunate army was unable to earn more benefits from the colonies seized from the Western barbarians through advanced technology, the shogunate army was even more cruel in front of the Western barbarians, not just because of its nature.

In order to motivate his army to fight for him, Tokugawa Izunobu also used the method of concentrating women to win over the Ming army, gathering the captured Western-Japanese women to win over his army.

In addition, Tokugawa Izuno also completely abandoned military discipline and encouraged his army to carry out very cruel plunder of the Western Barbarians.

Therefore, the Western barbarians also hated the shogunate army to the core.

When these incidents of the brutality and incompetence of the shogunate army were passed back to the European continent, the nobles of all European countries were very angry.

Louis XIV, the French king who had just taken power, was also very angry after learning that his French colonies in the Americas were taken and a large number of French and Japanese were tortured by the shogunate army:

"These hateful little Eastern devils! How are they so cruel! How can God allow such a devil to exist!"

"According to the news I learned from the Ming people, these Eastern little ghosts are often called Japanese pirates by their Eastern Ming people! Obviously, the Ming people have no good impression of these people, and they all know that these people are cruel and unkind and have no awe of life. The reason why they appeared in the Americas was because the Ming Kingdom had decided to destroy them, and they had to move to the Americas."

Louis XIV's minister in charge of the seal and Chief Justice Pierrevi reported to Louis XIV.

After hearing this, Louis XIV nodded and said, "I'm afraid there is a shadow of Ming Kingdom behind these Eastern little ghosts. This is a terrifying Eastern Empire!"

"Your Majesty is right. The Ming Kingdom is indeed very powerful. Now they have destroyed the Rakshasa Kingdom. Sweden and Poland have suffered losses in his hands. Spain has been controlled by him before, and the desire to expand is very strong. We must have the ability to fight against him as soon as possible before it invades."

The Chancellor of the Finance Minister Colbert also started talking at this time.

"I hope Brother Wang and his team can successfully study in Ming Dynasty and inject new vitality into our France!"

Louis XIV said, and said, "When the time is ripe in the future, maybe I need to go and see it myself."

"What Your Majesty said is that the strength of the Ming Kingdom has forced us to admit that their civilization must have advantages. We need to move closer to their civilization and correct our shortcomings."

Pierre replied.

"The first thing we need to do is to vigorously cultivate the nobles of our country who understand Chinese! The last time the Ming Dynasty officials visited, their Jinyiwei had people who understood our language, but we did not have people who understood their language. This really proves our shortcomings!"

Louis XIV was a very ambitious king. He paid great attention to science and technology in history and was very diligent. Although he was not as crazy as Zhu Yuanzhang and Yongzheng, he was indeed diligent among French kings.

Therefore, at this time, Louis XIV was also willing to learn from the Ming Kingdom for the sake of his French strength, and also had the awareness of actively cultivating talents who understood Chinese.

As soon as he said this, Louis XIV asked: "Will my first Chinese university in France start school next?"

"Yes."

Pierre replied.

"I will go in person then! To show my importance to the admiration of Sinology!"

Louis XIV said resolutely at this time.

A strong sense of crisis and responsibility forced him to pay more attention to China.

After Louis XIV decided, he said: "We know too little about Eastern knowledge, and coincidentally, the Orientals know a lot about our knowledge! We will actively send missionaries to promote our knowledge, and think we have mastered the highest and wisest knowledge in the world. But in fact, we are like beginners who have just had some knowledge, lacking enough humility and awe, so that we only know how to pass on our knowledge, but do not bring back the knowledge! However, the Orientals always understand our knowledge in a low-key manner, but are very secretive about our knowledge and are not in a hurry to let anyone know that we should learn from the prudence and humility of the Orientals!"

His ministers did not doubt this, and even believed that His Majesty the young king was a very knowledgeable emperor.

After all, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was there, and no one had enough confidence and confidence to question at this time that the West was more advanced than the East.

The Chinese University established by Louis XIV in Paris is called the Royal Chinese Academy of Culture.

On the day when the Royal Chinese Academy of Culture started, Louis XIV also wore a Ming-style robe to attend the opening ceremony. It seemed that in his eyes, wearing such a costume would be the real king.

Of course, Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty did not know Louis XIV's usurpation.

Louis XIV did not know that he was arguing. He did this to express his importance to learning from Eastern Chinese civilization.

Also because Louis XIV did this, the teachers and students of the Royal Chinese Academy of Arts were also the best.

Although this would anger their archbishop, at this moment, the monarchy had greater power than the ancestral power, so the archbishop had no choice but to do anything to them.

When Louis XIV personally attended the opening ceremony of the Royal Chinese Academy of Arts, his brother Philip I had been studying in the Beijing Humanities School for a year.

"Ming is an absolutely monarchical country, which should be one of the reasons why they are powerful, and France is also monarchical. The only difference is that we have different beliefs, but this should not be much different. We should not give up our own beliefs. In my opinion, what we need to do is to learn Western learning as the body and middle school as the use, learn their technology, but still stick to our own civilization."

Philip also met Descartes in the Ming Dynasty for this reason, and he also discussed the topic of how to make France as strong as the Ming Dynasty.

"You are wrong, Duke Philip, the root of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty lies in their 'people-oriented' idea and the public! If France wants to be as strong as the Ming Dynasty, it must innovate its own culture. It is impossible to learn its superficial things. It is necessary to learn its gentle and respectful Confucianism and Taoism, learn the idea of ​​benevolent politics and loving the people. It requires the nobles to give up their hereditary privileges and put the people's wealth above everything else!"

After staying in the Ming Dynasty for many years, Descartes was influenced by the Confucianism's benevolent government and the idea of ​​being the public, and it was refuted.

Philip shook his head at this: "Not this! Our culture also has its own advantages!"

Descartes waved his hand and said, "There is no advantage! They have put forward the idea of ​​being the public for the world a thousand years ago. But we have just learned to think independently. We no longer just follow the teachings to understand the world. They have even absorbed and tolerated our knowledge, but we are still conservative and stubbornly refusing to absorb other people's civilization!"

The two started arguing about this.

Scenes like this are very similar in the Ming Dynasty.

Because the current Ming Dynasty became the beacon of the world after Emperor Tianqi took the initiative to further open the country's territory and expanded actively outward after changing his conservative policy.

Many foreign nobles with various thoughts came to the Ming Dynasty, hoping to have a clearer understanding of this Eastern Empire.

However, after Zhu Youxiao did this, Confucianism, which had always occupied the main body of Chinese culture, was not despised with the entry of a large number of outsiders, but was highly respected.

Because the Confucian culture born in the continental civilization is exactly what the Western barbarians were born in the marine civilization lacked. For them, the Confucian culture that advocated the world as the public, advocated benevolent government, and did not compete for profit with the people is indeed not a backward civilization, but on the contrary, they have been pursuing it.

Zhu Youxiao also noticed the increasing number of foreign students in the Ming Dynasty, and also asked the Dongchang and Jinyiwei to send more people to focus on these people, strictly identify foreigners who came to the Ming Dynasty in their thoughts, and try to increase the difficulty of applying for studying and residency in the Ming Dynasty.

But even so, many foreign nobles flocked to the Ming Dynasty, even spending a lot of money to find various ways.

As a result, taking in students has become a very expensive industry.

Zhu Youxiao wanted foreigners to become restrained and gentle because of their study of Confucianism, and therefore took the initiative to become sinicized. However, he was also worried that foreigners would have ulterior motives to have foreign students with ulterior motives, and to collude with some people within the Ming Dynasty who were willing to sacrifice the interests of the entire Chinese for liberalism.

The Ming Dynasty had a large population and a high level of education. Although this helped the Ming Dynasty continue to maintain its advancedness in the field of science and technology, it also made the ideological composition of the Ming Dynasty very complicated. Because it was different from its class and life experience, it was believed in everything. It was not ruled out that people who took national interests at heart, but who really gave their own everything for the freedom of the people in the world.

"This is the drawing of the converter steelmaking method! But this is a technology from many years ago and no longer used by the Ming Dynasty, so I can draw it secretly! However, although it was from many years ago, the smelted steel is completely suitable for making all the gun barrels today. Can you understand?"

"In addition, I have written a booklet for you in the management process of our steel plant!"

Ji Sisheng placed a stack of information in front of Teng Ye and Tada Ei.

Teng Ye took the information in surprise and started reading it.

Tada Ei also said: "If you don't use it many years ago, you can build all the barrels. Mingguo is really advanced in technology. Fortunately, with Mr. Ji, you will help me. Otherwise, we will have to have a longer way to catch up with Mingguo."

"You don't have to be polite! Only by making your country stronger and pose a threat to our Ming Dynasty, perhaps that high-ranking king will be willing to limit his power and give the people of the world a true freedom, and will they know how to get along with their neighbors in a friendly manner, rather than using the power given by God to the Ming Dynasty for invasion and robbery!"

Ji Sisheng was a native scholar who graduated from the Ming Industrial Academy who advocated freedom. Because he was a child of an official and had excellent grades, he entered the official steel factory in the Ming Dynasty. However, because his thoughts were very Virgin, he took the initiative to be a spy, secretly secretly gave the technology of the Ming Dynasty to foreign students, and even gave the knowledge to these people.

"The second prince lost the opportunity to fight for the throne! We are also very disappointed. This undoubtedly means that we want the entire world to become a Confucian society under the rule of the second prince in the future, with scholars as the leader of the four people, which has become a luxury, and even the whole world will become a commoner! If this is the case, instead of letting the Celestial Empire unify the entire world, it is better to let our own country be independent, even strong, and force the Celestial Empire to reorganize the Celestial Empire!"

Teng Ye said at this time.

"That's the reason! They say I am a traitor or a traitor, I don't care! I just know that as long as it is for the ideal in my heart, I can do whatever others scold me. I hope you can help the shogunate to rebuild a real Confucian power, and be very powerful! Let the Confucian scholars all over the world have their own dignity!"

Ji Sisheng said.

"Yes! If the new Japan does not achieve all this, I will betray him!"

Teng Ye said.

Ei Tada also nodded: "What civilization and what ethnic group are not worth talking about, we have to fight for the dignity of the scholars and officials!"

Ji Sisheng said again: "I have prepared three hundred boxes of penicillin products for you. This is given priority to supply to my Ming Dynasty's own Western Expedition Army. It is difficult for you to get it, but I thought of a way and have made these things. You will take them back to the shogun! Just think of me as a little bit of strength to give the rise of the Japanese Empire!"

"Master! People from Dongchang came outside!"

At this time, the report from Ji Sisheng family suddenly came from outside the door.

Ji Sisheng was shocked after hearing this.

Teng Ye also panicked: "How did you find the East Factory?"

Ei Tada was also quite nervous: "It's really not easy for the independence and rise of our country. Teng Yejun, it seems that we have to be prepared for sacrifice!"
