"Master Li, don't worry, there will be slaves. In the war to conquer and establish slaves, there will be many prisoners. Daming will not feed them in vain. If they want to survive, they must make their own contributions to the development of Daming. These slave builders The prisoners who were transferred to the south could also weaken the power to build slaves, and fight for a few more years of peace for Daming’s northern Xinjiang.” Zhu Youjian planned several games for Daming as early as Xinwang’s mansion and Wan’er’s belly. War, and possible gains and losses.
In the eyes of others, he is still a minor and unseen prince, but in fact, he has a fifteen-year-old body, a thirty-year-old brain, and three hundred years of experience in later life, at least it can interact with fog. The light rain in Lingshan is a good fight.
Zhu Youjian's thoughts have far exceeded Li Chunye's understanding. Not only him, but no one in Daming can follow Zhu Youjian's thinking.
Li Chunye felt that he was being taken by Zhu Youjian into an unknown world, not only in unfamiliar regions such as Southeast Asia and Burma, but also strange in thinking. Especially Zhu Youjian's rigorous thinking, when he defeated Jian slaves, he could think of using the prisoners of Jian slaves to build roads in the south. How can he be so familiar with the history and geography of Ming Dynasty? And so clear about Daming's future plans? If he is not the prince, but... Li Chunye was taken aback by his own thoughts, he found that he was distracted, and hurriedly adopted the stiff Go game: "What then? Your Highness."
"Daming's fourth battle was to completely naturalize the northern nomads. During the first Northern Expedition of Ming, due to the limitation of his own strength, he could only accept the nomads' attachment and buy a few years for the development of Ming. However, the nomads They have always worshipped wolf nature. Once Ming is weak, they will create a deadly threat to Ming like now. Therefore, only by assimilating them and translating them into Chinese can we bring permanent peace to the northern borders of Ming." It was Zhu Youjian's true thoughts. Since the journey, Li Chunye has been the only person who has heard such words. After talking about his decision, Zhu Youjian no longer feels alone, at least he already has Li Chunye, a fan who supports him, to talk to. "Of course, this may not be a war. In the face of Daming's absolute strength, the divided nomadic tribes have no capital to fight against. Maybe they will take the initiative to request submission. After all, Daming can provide them with a better life."
Li Chunye was stuck in long-term contemplation again. He needed time to digest Zhu Youjian’s ideas. The troubles of the North for 300 years in Ming Dynasty and the troubles of the Han people for thousands of years, in front of Zhu Youjian, disappeared so easily. This, is it possible
Li Chunye still feels that for the time being regardless of whether Zhu Youjian's goals can be achieved, he wants to see how many shocking thoughts Zhu Youjian still has: "His Royal Highness, then?"
"Since then, there will be two wars, Xiyi and Japan. The order depends on the specific situation." Now that Li Chunye had been shocked, Zhu Youjian simply stated all his thoughts and looked at the situation of the Master of the Ministry of War. , It will not cause the heart disease to recur.
"His Royal Highness, but the Japanese soldiers didn't offend me, why did they attack Japan?" Although Li Chunye is an admirer of the Ministry of War, he still has Confucianism in his bones, and believes in the old man's saying "people don't offend me, I don't offend people."
"No?" Zhu Youjian felt that Li Chunye had selectively forgotten, and he needed to remind him. "During the Jiajing period of this dynasty, Japanese pirates invaded Fujian, Guangdong, Nanzhili, and Zhejiang in large quantities and for a long time. They paid back not long ago. Isn't it a clear proof of the invasion of Shandong?" Of course, there are some things that only look at the results, and there is no need to make a clear distinction.
In fact, the Japanese pirates are not a regular Japanese army. They just couldn't get along in Japan, so they came to Daming to try their luck and see if there was any chance of them being kidnapped.
The Ming people of that era were more spineless than the citizens of the later Central Dynasty, and they refused to accept a large number of Japanese immigrants. In order to survive, the Japanese pirates burned, killed, raped, raped, raped, raped, raped, and raped the land of Ming Dynasty.
But the imperial court in the Jiajing period was not completely rotten. The imperial court believed in your poverty and it has nothing to do with me. Therefore, anti-Japanese heroes such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou appeared one after another until the Japanese pirates died without a place to bury their bodies.
Regarding the difference between the Japanese pirates and the Japanese soldiers, Zhu Youjian decided to selectively forget. Anyway, they are all Japanese. Who cares about their internal affairs? She was busy with her own affairs, and Wan'er was still leaning on the door of the palace waiting for her return.
"Lord Li, looking at the history of Japan, their determination to develop into the mainland has never wavered. The Japanese archipelago is small and there are many people, and they often wish to expand their living space by invading the mainland's territory. This is in line with the aggression goal of Jian slaves and Mongolia. It’s the same. During the Xianqing and Dragon Sculpture years of the Tang Dynasty, Japan was invading Silla because it wanted to expand to the mainland. After being repaired by the Tang Dynasty, it was honest for hundreds of years. During the Wanli period of the current dynasty, Japan was again ambitious. Inflation, under the personal leadership of the power minister Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he again invaded North Korea. With the full help of Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty coalition forces struggled to defeat Japan."
"His Royal Highness, Japan is a small country and will not pose a threat to Daming. Moreover, Japan invaded North Korea, and they have never invaded Daming." Li Chunye didn't know what to do today, as if she sang a drama with Zhu Youjian. In fact, he felt that Zhu Youjian's conquest was too much and it was a waste of money. More importantly, he still lacks confidence in whether Zhu Youjian can win every war.
"Master Li, Japan did just invade North Korea before. If Japan succeeds in destroying North Korea, will they have the next move? What is the goal of their next move?" Zhu Youjian led Li Chunye's thinking step by step, "Yes. Compared with Daming, Japan is indeed a small country, but judging from the war with Japan, they are becoming stronger step by step. The Tang Dynasty has won a complete victory against Japan; the original dynasty has won a victory against Japan, but it is a miserable victory. The Supreme Commander of the Ming Dynasty, Li Rusong, died in battle, and the warships of the Ming Dynasty coalition forces were all lost. Toyotomi Hideyoshi took advantage of the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty coalition forces without warships to safely withdraw hundreds of thousands of invading troops back to Japan. Lord Li, With Daming's current strength, if there is another war against Japan, can you predict the outcome?" Of course Li Chunye didn't know, but Zhu Youzhen was unforgettable. The next war against Japan turned the central dynasty into a lamb to be slaughtered.
The sins that the Japanese impose on the Han people, the contempt of attitude, the subjective hatred, the bad nature, the cruelty of the methods, the heavy losses, the vast scope, the long time, and the far-reaching influence, exceed the sum of all the misfortunes the Han people have suffered before. . This is also the fundamental reason why Zhu Youjian never forgets Japan, always guards against Japan, and creates opportunities to defeat Japan.
"His Royal Highness, do you want to fight like this? Is my Ming's national strength able to withstand such a consumption?" Li Chunye became more and more alarmed. Although Zhu Youjian showed a certain military talent, he was so combative, it was almost more than Taizuhe. Cheng Zu, if Zhu Youjian succeeds, his historical merits will surely surpass his ancestors. If Zhu Youjian fails, Daming is very likely to fall into a situation where he cannot be recovered. Should he support him? Li Chunye began to waver.
"Lord Li, this is not a militant war, but a defense of the home and the country." Zhu Youjian first clarified the nature of the war, "As for the military expenditure, there are two ways to solve it."
"1. Rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce. Just like the cement factory and brick kiln factory I opened in Beijing, there will be more factories in the future. All factories pay taxes like farming. If there are such factories everywhere in the country, The tax paid by the factory will exceed the tax paid for agriculture. Master Li, will the Ministry of Households still have no money at that time?"
"Second, use war to support war. Daming's military needs are mainly money and food. Every foreign war will have spoils. The newly occupied areas can excavate gold, silver, copper and iron to compensate for Ming's military expenditure. In addition. , You can also get reparations from the defeated countries, and if you have money, you can go to Southeast Asia to buy food. In a word, making good use of the sharp blade of war will not only not consume the country’s wealth, but you can also win benefits for the country and the people."
"Moreover, these wars will not be concentrated in a short period of time, maybe ten years, maybe decades, maybe longer. This is Daming's long-term plan. I hope that the Ming Dynasty will be clear about the sinister situation around him and make preparations early. There are some things that I’m afraid we won’t be able to see in our lifetime." Zhu Youjian sighed in a rare faint, seeming to lament why life is only a few decades. If life is really 500 years old, these goals can really be achieved. Completely realized in their own hands. At this moment, Zhu Youjian was also infected by himself. He seemed to understand why Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to the East China Sea to seek the medicine for immortality. "Now, we are just doing our duty well, step by step, and moving towards this beautiful goal."
"One step at a time?" Li Chunye found himself suddenly enlightened. What Zhu Youjian described was only a long-term goal, which may take several generations to achieve. Otherwise, not only will the industrial and commercial rich countries not understand it, but even the formation of a navy will be difficult to achieve. His heart is like a roller coaster. He has gone through anticipation, excitement, enthusiasm, and then fear. Now he seems to be back on the ground and finally peaceful.
"Yes, only by doing every task at hand can we accumulate the capital of victory for Daming and gradually realize this goal. The sky will never leave pie for no reason." Zhu Youjian built the ideal and reality in a few words. Between the platforms, later generations were not good at speeches, nor were they good at explaining great principles. Perhaps it was his sense of responsibility to return to the Ming Dynasty that forced him on this road.
"But your Highness, will these wars really affect the lives of the people?" Li Chunye no longer resisted Zhu Youjian's general direction, and started pruning branches and leaves. He doesn't have the kind of mastery of Zhu Youjian, nor the age advantage of Zhu Youjian. He only hopes that with his limited life, he can do some auxiliary work to the best of his ability for Zhu Youjian's ideal and Ming's future. He didn't know where Daming could go, but hoped that in his lifetime, Daming could completely remove the threat of slavery.
"No, sir. The future military pay will mainly come from the battlefield and the people who are conquered, and will not seriously weaken the expenditure on people's livelihood. And the establishment of factories will also allow the people to provide jobs during the slack time and increase them. Zhu Youjian knows that once it moves toward industrialization, labor productivity will increase substantially, incomes of all walks of life will rise steadily, and the people's sense of identity with the country will also increase significantly. But the only thing Zhu Youjian is not sure about is when Daming will begin to industrialize like Europe.
"Okay, the old official will fully support His Royal Highness, use his remaining body to contribute the last strength to Daming, and wait for His Highness's call at any time." Li Chunye's eyes flashed again, that is the absolute trust in Zhu Youjian, and it is also The excitement of finding a soulmate. From this moment on, Li Chunye would no longer regard Zhu Youjian as a weak imperial boy, but his true master. If Zhu Youjian were to usurp Zhu Youxiao's throne now, he would not hesitate to help him.
"With the support of Master Shangshu, the goal of revitalizing Daming will definitely be achieved in advance." Zhu Youjian's main goal now is military. If Li Chunye can fully support him, the difficulty will be much reduced.
