Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 865 Taiping Road "Zhu Chenggong, Prince of Yanping County"



A young Irish nobleman named Brian Zhang claimed to be the successor of the Chinese Taiping Dao. Based on Zhang Jiao's teachings, he founded a new Christian sect: the Taiping Dao.

Of course, this is not Christian at all.

However, Brian needs the name of Christ.

Randomly, Brian raised the flag against the tyranny of the English.

They openly tore down statues of the Virgin, put Catholic clergy on trial, and rescued children from torture.

Faced with these evidences, the Irish were not particularly angry.

Thousands of years of religious baptism have made them never believe that God will abandon them, the devout lambs.

Hundreds of years ago, they were able to carry out brutal vendettas against the Protestants of England and Northern Ireland for their faith.

Nowadays, of course, they will not convert to the more outrageous way of peace, which is not even wanted by God, because of such a trivial matter.

However, war may not bring a fanatic to its knees, but hunger can.

As food prices soared further, potatoes became more expensive three times a day.

By 1700, the first year of the 18th century, the price of a kilogram of potatoes had finally soared to fifty pence.

Many farmers had never seen so many pennies in their lives. How could they afford so much money to buy potatoes?

However, the officials who collected grain from the English did not care about the life and death of these farmers.

What do these poor people know?
A kilogram of potatoes is worth fifty pence in Dublin, but when resold in London, it is worth a hundred pence. This is a [-]% profit!
The English officials stationed in Ireland ordered that not a single potato be allowed to remain in Ireland.

Sometimes, natural disasters are man-made disasters, and a great famine begins.

Cannibalism, a horrific sight that appeared in ancient Chinese history books, inevitably appeared in Ireland.

Under extreme hunger, any religious etiquette and morality have become something that can be trampled on wantonly.

We don’t have enough to eat, so who cares?
However, the church priests were very experienced in organizing a protective team to guard the church property and prevent the zombie-like poor from plundering and stealing.

It can be seen that they are quite experienced and know how to deal with the poor.

Under the influence of the English, Ireland has become a scene of hell on earth.

However, in such a world of purgatory, there is a pure land of bliss.

That is the Ming Dynasty Potato Field Manor developed by Brian Zhang of Taiping Road.

This manor is located in the barren mountains of Ireland. Not to mention the Irish governor's authority, even the nearby herdsmen have not paid attention to that place before.

According to experience, planting crops on such land will not have good output at all.

However, Brian got the true inheritance from Ming Dynasty, not only the excellent potato seeds developed and produced by Ming Dynasty, but also a batch of guano fertilizer was provided to Brian.

Daming's potato seeds are not only disease-resistant, but can still produce a yield of [-] kilograms per acre on this barren land.

This is undoubtedly a shocking number in the Great Famine.

Of course, food alone is not enough. Without guns, it is just like the neighbor's granary.

For a long time, Ireland had only food and no guns, so the English took whatever they wanted.

From the thinking of people in the Ming Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to understand why the British would engage in such endless exploitation of a piece of territory that is best assimilated at their doorstep.

If the English were more moderate, they would not be unable to achieve assimilation despite hundreds of years of occupation. Even in modern times, there is still a sense of independence.

Unexpectedly, a seed planted by Zhang Tingyu would blossom and bear fruit not long after.

In order to make Brian go more smoothly, Ming asked some flintlock guns from the Ottoman Empire to support him.

In this way, combining the "My Struggle", "God is Dead", "Taiping Taoism Sutra" and other programs, the Irish Taiping Taoist Church was officially established.

Brian also didn't expect that his Taipingdao development speed would be slower than that of his idol Zhang Jiao. 10,000+ hungry Irish people joined the Taiping Road without hesitation!
The Irish uprising intensified and seemed to be out of control. The Irish people united under the command of Archbishop Brian Zhang and launched a war with the British to defend their homeland and potatoes.

With England's current financial situation, it may be impossible to suppress this uprising.

The Irish uprising was in full swing, and the Ming Dynasty in the Far East also began to organize its activities.

"Zhu Chenggong, Prince of Yanping County" officially started shooting at the Royal Film and Television City in the western suburbs of Yingtian City.

The great emperor Zhu Kezang personally serves as the director, screenwriter, producer, and leading actor.

In this world, I am afraid that except Zhu Kezang, no one is qualified to play the role of the national surname.

It is so appropriate to choose a movie about Zhu Chenggong to welcome the eighteenth century!

First of all, he is the grandfather of the current emperor, and secondly, Zhu Chenggong himself is very story-telling.

Anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty, Han Jing and blood, drive the oceans and restore the soil...

However, in such a historical drama, women's roles are actually relatively limited, which serves as a finishing touch.

Therefore, in terms of female characters, Zhu Kezang increased the role of the father-in-law and his mother, the Tagawa family.

In 1646, when the Qing army attacked Anping, the Tian Chuan family was forced to commit suicide by the Qing army's generals Gu Shan and Han Dai.

Shoushan Zhengyi's "Pingfan Quotations Zheng's Binghua" records: "Mother moved a lot, scolded Gushan and died."

Huang Zongxi's "The Beginning and End of Giving Surnames" records: "Sheng Cheng was greatly resented, so he dissected his mother's womb using the barbarian method and accepted her for burial."

Throughout Guo Xingye's life, his mother had a great influence on him.

She was determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty throughout her life, and she even did not hesitate to break with her father Zheng Zhilong. This had a lot to do with the upbringing of her mother, the Tagawa clan, and her eventual murder.

Increasing her role will make the role of Guo Xingye fuller.

At the same time, there were a large number of Japanese women in the Ming Dynasty who married Ming men or worked as concubines for Ming men. The role of the Tagawa family can resonate with them.

Now the Ming Dynasty is implementing a progressive population consumption plan for Japan.

The male population was dragged away to fight or dig holes, while the female population was consumed by the domestic Ming men.

Setting an example and allowing them to establish their identity is another function of this film.

The actress who plays the Tagawa family is a beautiful woman selected through a crazy audition.

Because the male protagonist is the emperor, it is very likely that the female protagonist will become a royal concubine during the filming.

So countless Jiangnan women are flocking to this.

In the end, this role went to Chen Yu from Suzhou.

This woman from Suzhou is not a simple woman. Historically, she was one of the Han beauties collected by Kangxi during his trip to the south of the Yangtze River, and she was named Mu's concubine.

According to records, in history, Mu Concubine came to the Rehe Summer Resort with Kangxi. Because she was ill, she took a walk by the lake and happened to be seen by the court painter Ma Guoxian.

According to the palace painter's description, Mu's concubine was wearing a crimson cloak and the jewels on her head were shining like a holy goddess. She was a beauty of national beauty and fragrant beauty.

Now that Kangxi is gone, it naturally belongs to Zhu Kezang.

But in this way, the scene that Chen Yu originally imagined meeting Emperor Zhu Da became completely different.

At first, it was okay to face the young Zhu Chenggong, played by Prince Zhu Yiming.

Yes, the prince also came to join in the fun.
