Chapter 309 Fengtian
Liu Ruguo did not have the idea of joining the regular army, nor did he think he would join the regular army.
The troops he commanded and the rebel army in the people and the people who were in charge of the heavenly state had no intention of becoming a regular army.
If this was in the Ming Dynasty, it would undoubtedly be a rebellion.
However, this happened overseas, and everyone's definition of this was very vague. Even Liu Ruguo himself did not know what Shuntian'an Minyi Army was.
But this does not mean that he was anti-Ming, or anti-Oriental Military Office, and there was no.
Because Liu Ruguo is not a modern educated person.
The "modern education" here refers to private schools, village schools, social schools, lecture schools, martial arts schools and Beiyang Schools in Longqing and Wanli for more than ten years. In short, they are all the formal education in the Ming Dynasty in this era.
Liu Ruguo was not among them, he received education in Jiajing years.
Nowadays, even the teacher in a private school will talk about overseas. Even if the teacher in a private school doesn’t understand it very well, the textbooks have been distributed.
For all formal channels for education, as long as teachers follow the script, students can understand a common sense-there are many countries in this world.
In fact, there are many countries in this world that are not new knowledge points. Everyone knows that there are many countries in this world, including North Korea, Luzon, and Annan.
However, before the emergence of modern education, people did not think that China also belonged to one of these countries.
The Greater Chinese Civilization Circle is the earliest place where national consciousness emerged, but this national consciousness is somewhat different from the national consciousness in the eighteenth, nineteenth, twentyth and twenty-first centuries later generations.
In this era, it is recognized that there are many countries in the world, Annan, North Korea, and Japan, all of which are countries, and the people also have their own national consciousness. They all know that I am Annan, I am Korean and others.
But China is different.
Those who grew up in the Central Plains, regardless of whether they were from the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and Qing Dynasty, it would be a great shame to say that his motherland would become a vassal state of other countries.
People cannot accept it at all, even if a whole generation shed blood and sacrificed for it.
But in fact, in every era in the world, countries with this collective consciousness are the few, and only if they are the most powerful in the entire contact circle can this consciousness be produced.
Pride exclusive to a great country.
This kind of consciousness is a double-edged sword, not all good. Many times this mentality is the beginning of weakness.
Especially for the Central Plains Dynasty, a magical land where the Gongyang School was born, there are more disadvantages.
The Gongyang School is gone, but everyone in later generations knows that the highest honor of Chinese warriors is Fenglangjuxu.
For a country that has implemented this collective consciousness for more than a thousand years since its majesty and unification, it has strong self-confidence from the rural people to the central court, but has very weak diplomatic consciousness.
So weak they never feel like they are diplomatic.
The Chinese Empire believed that there was only one China in the world, and of course other countries were also kings, and kings were also kings, but there was only one country with the emperor in the world.
What is the difference between those kings outside and King Lu?
There are naturally differences, after all, they are not as noble as King Lu.
In essence, they knew that all countries in the world were barbarians. If the emperor was happy, he could get rid of the barbarians by enthroning them.
There are many benefits to not being a barbarian, such as the skin-boiled meat from the grassland tribe in the pre-Altan era, and the iron pot stewed meat from the grassland tribe in the post-Altan era.
Let the Kingdom of Emperor recognize that it is not a barbarian, and there is only one channel to pay tribute.
Either you look cute and fun, and the emperor is willing to pay tribute when he is happy; or you are not cute or fun and quite strong, you have to show your confidence and understand the rank and inferiority.
There is almost no other way. In known countries in this era, not paying tribute to the Central Plains dynasty is called self-destruction from the international community.
Until modern education dominated by Chen Mu emerged, people's known world wider and larger, and they gradually understood that in many countries in the world, some places regard the Celestial Empire as they did.
Those who are competitive will feel that this country dares to rank alongside the Celestial Empire and needs to fight.
People with a calm and gentle atmosphere can easily accept that some countries thousands of miles away think that they are the same as the Heavenly Kingdom, and just make contemptuous ridicule.
Liu Ruguo was not among the two. He was a person educated in the past. He was different from the new Beiyang Banner Army. In his eyes, there was only one emperor in this world and he never felt that he was rebelling.
From a psychological point of view, he was unwilling to become a regular army, nor did he want to hang out with officials.
From a realistic perspective, he believes that becoming a regular army will have many troubles, which means that he will have to accept more orders and more commands and will not be free.
Liu Ruguo did not think of becoming a general, and his ideas were all on the flag to follow the heavens and the people.
The hearts of the people are the hearts of heaven.
The new Beiyang Banner Army knew that there were many countries with equal status in the world, so they would first distinguish between enemies and friends from countries, which discriminated against but also tended to war of conquest against the entire country.
The old school Liu Ruguo was different. He felt that there was only the Celestial Empire in the world. There was no difference between the Queen and the Chu Fan, who was next to Susong's hometown, who was sent by Emperor Wanli to the Western India King Wugang, who was sent to the Western India by Emperor Wanli for his debauchery.
The way Liu Ruguo distinguished his enemies was to look at the class first, which was the main reason why he did not want to stand with the regular army.
Officials built bird guns and official cannons were the objects he was most concerned about.
Even the official-made waist knife could get him hundreds of holes, which would be great news.
The rebels overseas are like a verb. There are such troops everywhere in Siyang, and everyone has channels to purchase old weapons. This is the key to whether the chief officer is braver.
Relatively speaking, Ying Ming and Tang Xianzu are both timid ones.
But soon, someone strengthened their courage.
The baggage ships from the Eastern Military Mansion once again approached the port, and hundreds of official documents and letters from the Military Mansion were sent to the London Mansion, two of which were handed over to Liu Ruguo.
In order to commend Liu Ruguo's help to raise an army in the Kingdom of Ailan, Emperor Wanli, was appointed as the general of military strategy, and allowed him to control the baojia of the militia and pacify the whole area.
The second letter comes from the Eastern Minister Chen Mu, or the same official uniform, armor, waist knives, hand guns, etc.
Chen Mu said in the letter that when he was granted an official position, the emperor did not know that others were in England, so his official position was still granted by the emperor to Ailan and general Wuluo, and he was transferred to England to exercise his power.
The arrival of these two letters marked that Liu Ruguo's troops were recognized by the court, and Liu Ruguo also happily accepted the appointment from the court.
I will be lucky by heaven.
No one can reject such an edict with great sacred sense of mission.
He wanted to lead a group of nobles who were dirty and humble in their mouths, and torture the nobles who enslaved them - everyone has land to grow, and everyone has clothes to wear.
