The French king sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty, and of course Zhu Youbin would not refuse. He even sent a fast cruiser to transport the delegation members to the Ming Dynasty.

"Prince, will it be too fast to send them back to China with our cruiser? This Duke of Anjou is going to pay homage to His Majesty. He must have wanted to return the letter of return and let him take his own boat. He will go back and forth for at least a year. Even if His Majesty has the will, it will be a fact here."

Why did Zhang Mingzhen object?

Of course he didn't care about the interests of French nobles such as Prince Condé. What does the life and death of those barbarians have to do with him? What is he concerned about? It is military merit!

No title will be granted unless it is military merit.

He needs military merits and earns himself a title of honor that can be reunited with the country. People are selfish, and it is understandable to have such a little selfishness. Moreover, this selfishness is consistent with the interests of the country and there is no conflict.

"Houfu, you still don't understand Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youbin smiled.

"With Your Majesty's character, we don't even need to write books. As long as he knows what we are doing here, he will definitely agree, not because what we do is in line with the long-term interests of the Ming Dynasty, but because... dealing with foreigners is like this, bullying people? If the Celestial Empire does not bully people, what should the Celestial Empire do with its strength? What is the use of exerting benevolence and righteousness? What is the use of barbarians living and dying to our Celestial Empire?"

Such naked words were definitely politically incorrect in the past, but for the Qian Sheng Dynasty, it was definitely politically correct. Of course, the Qian Sheng Dynasty would package all this, but this packaging would never accidentally fool myself when I packed it like the previous Confucian scholars. They said something about "repaying grievances with virtue", but they completely forgot about the following sentence "How to repay kindness," and forgot to "repaying grievances with virtue, and repaying grievances with virtue."

Just like the lighthouse country in later generations, it said something like "people pigs" and "freedom", but what are they doing? It is nothing more than bullying the weak and bullying the weak. Although this kind of domineeringness is disgusting, then again, if the country's strength is there, if you don't bully the weak and bully the weak, then what military strength can you develop? You might as well have to squander your martial arts skills. If you have finally practiced martial arts, don't bully the weak and bully the weak. Are you worthy of the sweat shed when practicing?

Of course, all this can be done, but it cannot be said that even if it is said, it must be disguised. Just like in England, they did something like bullying the weak and bullying the weak. But now? The translation and dissemination of the Four Books and Five Classics of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Analects of Confucius and Mencius, have been spread in Europe. This book of Confucian classics tells the barbarians in Europe that they have not completely escaped from religious shackles and bloodlines. They have seen what "modern civilization" is.

Renaissance?

It has been revived for more than a hundred years. Those ancient Roman thoughts that spread to Europe in the past 100 years have ignited Mars in the dark medieval times and spread out in a prairie fire. They broke through the shackles of religion and crushed the dark medieval times. However, the shackles of religion and bloodliness still plague Europe. This is also the main reason why Western scholars admire Chinese civilization after the Westernization of Confucian theories such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" and "The main reason why Western scholars admire Chinese civilization after the spread of Confucianism such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" was that there was no religious constraints or bloodliness. There was only talent and talent. Even beggars could change their destiny through reading and imperial examinations, rather than the European countries, bloodliness plague everyone.

In the past, for European scholars, they could only imagine a Ming Dynasty like an "ideal country" through books. They imagined China under the rule of the "Sage King". The imperial examination system was highly praised by them and they deliberately ignored all the shortcomings.

All descriptions about China include facts and imagination. In the past 100 years, through the descriptions of missionaries, many European scholars have regarded the distant China as the ideal country in their minds. They are just like the "public knowledge" of this era, deliberately ignoring many disadvantages, but blindly believing that there is an "saint king" emperor there, where knowledge is everything, and where scholars yearn for it.

Confucius, Mencius... in the eyes of many scholars, they are all sages who are in line with the three Greek sages.

But all the imagination and praise are not as good as the impact of a few cannons.

After the Ming Dynasty's mission came out in England, whether it was shelling or setting fire, Europeans intuitively felt that the Ming Dynasty's power had an unprecedented impact on them.

After all, this world is about strength, and European scholars can imagine a "paradise"-like heaven.

However, the Ming Dynasty used naval guns and the city of London that turned naked, telling the Europeans that while being gentle and elegant, it was also a giant dragon with fangs and claws. This giant dragon could eat people!

What impact will such an impact have on Europe?

No one can imagine.

The only thing that is certain is that Confucianism will inevitably become popular again, and may also have a mutated imperial examination system in a certain country, and of course, the premise is that those nobles who pay attention to blood can give up their privileges.

They are unwilling to give up?

It doesn't matter, there will definitely be someone who will make them willing. This may change the process of the Renaissance. What will the fusion of Eastern and Western thoughts bring together. I'm afraid only ghosts know.

Of course, this kind of cultural communication is actually a kind of bullying the weak, which means maintaining the strong power of the country, forcing others to identify with their own culture and ultimately eliminating the other party's culture.

What is the East Asian Confucian cultural circle?

To put it bluntly, Confucian culture is based on the strength of the Han dynasties and expands in the surrounding countries. During the expansion, their so-called local culture was either eliminated as a symbol of backwardness or integrated into it. It is no different from the so-called "civil pig" spreading the beautiful country hundreds of years later. And what the Ming Dynasty is doing in Europe now is the same routine... It is also a great honor to be a dog of the Ming Dynasty. What is it relying on? Isn't it just a complete cultural recognition!

"Big powers should bully the weak! Otherwise, how could those small countries be willing to do something big!"

After saying these words with a righteous and stern voice, Zhu Youbin asked again.

"Houfu, do you think this is the reason?"

"What the prince said is very true!"

Zhang Mingzhen nodded and said.

"Where is France?"

Although it is great to bully the weak and bully others, military achievements are even more enjoyable!

"It's not a problem there, take it slowly, oh, by the way, let England send some international students to study in the Ming Dynasty. Since they have become vassal states of our Ming Dynasty, it is natural to accept the education of Chinese culture."

Zhu Youbin laughed.

"And they have to let them take more photos of the nobles' children. As for the top and bottom, Chinese culture must be spread in the West, and those people must rely on."

Letting England send students to Daming is the fundamental prerequisite for promoting their cultural identity with Daming.

“Send students?”

Zhang Mingzhen said in confusion.

"We not only need to send overseas students, but we also need to run schools in England. We also need to come from the eyes of the Ming Dynasty to teach them Confucian culture. Only through such education can they completely recognize us."

In fact, in the past decade, the Ming Dynasty has been establishing schools in North Korea, Annan and other places in order to spread Chinese culture and further penetrate into all aspects of them.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this set of policies was also implemented by England and other countries in the colonies. They established schools, educated the local people, and finally supported a group of "indigenous elites" who recognized the British rule. In fact, to put it bluntly, they cultivated Erwuzi through education. Then they used these indigenous people to promote their rule in the colonies. Even this kind of cultural invasion had a role in the colonies even surpassed military conquest. After all, military conquests only conquered only the land, but cultural and ideological conquests conquered the souls of the indigenous people.

Now the Ming Dynasty only needs to bring the set of education CRRC implemented in North Korea, Annan, Nanyang, and various vassal states to England.
