Chapter 765 Survival of the World

7days ago Historical fiction 7
In the Rouyi Hall of the Imperial City of the Capital, the cabinet ministers and nobles of the Ming Dynasty have reached the decision-making stage for opening up a new battlefield.

The Ministry of War has formulated a complete offensive strategy.

On the big table in the middle, there is a large map of the Northeastern region of Shenzhou.

Originally, the Asian region was named Shengzhou, but later someone wrote the wrong words. As a result, everyone was used to using Shenzhou for two years, and Zhu Gaoxu also used the new name.

The yellow ball of dragon, sun and moon map drawn on the map is like a burning flame, with several small wooden boats on it.

Qi Tai said to the ministers sitting around: According to the investigation, Tsushima Island has about five or six hundred samurai civilians who can control the Daimai Son clan, and are estranged from other Japanese daimyos.There are three settlements, and the main village is located in Tsushima Port on the southeast side of the island.

The Ministry of War plans to transfer the water and land armies to attack, with two six-mass treasure ships with two materials (according to the measurement scale of the Ming Dynasty, about 1,000 tons of water) to transport five hundred-houses of the mainland division, as well as firearms and weapons.

There are three warships equipped with water wheels, and ten clutch ships and sergeant ships to prevent Japanese pirates from harassing at sea.

The Ming army sailed in a formation of fifteen warships of all sizes and sizes, and at the same time ordered North Korea's land and water assistance.

The Korean army mainly reinforced possible harassment at sea and transported food and grass reinforcements from Juji Port.

After the Land Division occupied Tyrannosau Port, the Ming army soldiers, Korean soldiers and civilians, as well as the captured local Japanese, built a bastion together, which was a long-term solution.The army was accompanied by an official from the Ministry of Works Construction Agency, responsible for this matter.The Japanese commander of the Guardian Department was also accompanied by the commander of the Japanese state in order to inquire about the situation on the Japanese islands and report to the court.

Things have reached this point, but Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, still did not give up. He stood up and folded his fists to face the silent Zhu Gaoxu, and tried hard to persuade him again: The Mongolian tribes are the biggest disaster for our border areas. Our dynasty has limited national strength, so we should avoid the light and the heavy.Japan is just an irrelevant place. The emperor appeals to the military and must be cautious.As soon as the battle begins, I may not be able to stop it.

During the Hongwu period, Japanese traitors were suspected of colluding with Hu Weiyong and wanted to assassinate Taizu.Taizu was furious and issued an edict to rebuke the Japanese monarch and ministers, wanting to conquer the Japanese country.Taizu never did this, and that's why.Japan is isolated overseas, with a long road and is difficult to conquer, and it is not profitable.

Qi Tai said: It is said that Japan has a state-owned gold mine and silver mountain.

It is said?Xia Yuanji faced Qi Tai with a sarcastic look.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu finally spoke: Even though there are not many gold and silver mines, Japan still has high-quality sulfur and a market with a large population.This is a long-term plan for hundreds of years, and the efforts now must be worth it.

He continued: Both the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty had expeditions to Goryeo and reopened the Silk Road.From a strategic perspective, I think the superiors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were all right.

At that time, Goryeo's territory had expanded to the Liaodong region.

Such a major country with stable farming industries and towns has greater threats than nomadic peoples.

Because nomadic peoples have risen and fallen, it is difficult to maintain for hundreds of years; while farming countries have their own civilization and are expanding steadily. Once they lose control, they will take back it for years. Please look at Annan.

It was later confirmed that Goryeo always wanted to expand into the Liaodong region. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the Lee Dynasty, the Korean Kingdom, realized the reality that it could not compete with the Central Plains dynasty.

The Central Plains dynasty has never been able to restrict Japan and completely separate it from the rules set by the great powers. It is the next Goryeo.

There are many disasters in Japan and there are too many mountains, so they have never given up on expansion.

During the Tang Dynasty, Japan was still a barbaric tribal alliance and wanted to invade Silla.

Our Ming Dynasty now has no fatal strong enemies, and the opportunity is just right, so we should not sit idly by.

The Silk Road was no longer open during the Sui and Tang dynasties.The sea route is the direction in the future.

Dear friends.Zhu Gaoxu looked back: Without long-term thinking, there will be immediate worries.

The generals agreed.

Qi Tai also said: Our dynasty chose to attack Madao Zong, and he could attack and retreat or defend, and would not fall into the situation of conquering Annan during the Yongle period.Our dynasty once warned many times that it is legitimate to use troops now.Moreover, the vassal states in Japan were estranged from the Zong clan, and the vassal states were too busy to take care of themselves, afraid that it would not be so easy to help it.

Zhu Gaoxu did not wait for others to object, and immediately said: I have decided, so there is no need to persuade me anymore.

Everyone stood up one after another, stood on the south side of the table, and then knelt on the ground: I will receive the order, long live the priest.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up from the chair, walked for a few steps, hesitated for a while, and finally said: Everyone may have forgotten how our ancestors survived at the beginning.Before Shennong called on the people to cultivate grains, the world made a living by hunting and gathering.Then with grains and agriculture, there are towns and countries.From then on, Chinese civilization expanded from a corner of the Yellow River Basin to a territorial territory of thousands of miles, embarking on the road of continuous prosperity.

Zhu Gaoxu had been patient for a long time, and then simply said: We have been addicted to the rich products brought by agriculture for more than two thousand years, and splendid dynasty civilizations were born during this period, and we were satisfied with the prosperity of self-sufficiency.It is not that the court did not pay attention to technology. The officials responsible for farming, astronomical seasons, and encouraged farming are all diligently, improving China's farming technology to the extreme.but……

As long as you think carefully, you will find that agricultural civilization has come to an end and there is no room for growth.Who dares to say that the Ming Dynasty must have richer resources than the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago?Even if it is slightly better than the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it may be of limited benefit.

You should be able to realize that there has been almost no progress in the past thousand years since the Sui and Tang Dynasties.Compared with the expansion of the Chinese ancestors at that time, this is almost insignificant.Moreover, due to technological limitations, it is difficult for the land to continue to expand, but the population is growing, which cannot escape the fate of each dynasty for three hundred years.I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be no exception.

Hu Yi, Minister of Rites, hurriedly said: The Ming Dynasty will surely last forever.

Zhu Gaoxu did not comment and continued to say that it was time to move towards a higher ladder in technology.

Xia Yuanji asked: I don’t know what the emperor means, what does the higher ladder mean?

Zhu Gaoxu resisted and did not say anything, so as not to be suspicious; and he couldn't explain clearly, and he did not wait until the cruel reality was placed in front of him, and most people would not believe it, just as a fantasy.

Zhu Gaoxu recalled those cruel reality, the only thing that is fortunate is that the Han people are not Indians.

How do I know?Zhu Gaoxu said, isn’t this something that all the people who govern the country should worry about?I just have this insight.

The hall was quiet and no one talked rashly about it anymore.

Perhaps because Zhu Gaoxu's remarks are rare, they are far from the various sage principles that people usually think about, and no one is ready for this moment.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand.The ministers thanked each other and sued their gratitude.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Gaoxu left Rouyi Hall and returned to the East Warm Pavilion of Ganqing Palace, and summoned the Xian Concubine Yao Ji to meet.

The eunuchs must have been surprised, because the concubines the emperor saw in his office were usually Miaojin, but today they were different. Perhaps the palace would still guess what happened during this period.

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu knew very well that nothing happened because Yao Ji had a useful brother.

Donghunting Pavilion has lighting windows, but the location is a bit high. Compared with the bright main hall of Rouyi Hall, it looks a bit dark.

At this time, all the eunuchs and palace maids had gone out, and Zhu Gaoxu sat alone on an old and luxurious chair.

Yao Ji walked past the screen inside the door and walked forward to kneel down to Zhu Gaoxu to salute.

Get up quickly, my beloved concubine.Zhu Gaoxu came back to his senses from his thoughts and made the move to help him.Then he walked past the imperial case with a thick book and handed it straight to Yao Ji, "I have something to do."

Yao Ji took the book and in an instant, her beautiful and spiritual face showed a look of confusion that made Zhu Gaoxu feel.

She seemed to have a sudden realization, and she felt happy as if she had received some confirmation.

Zhu Gaoxu had already figured out what to do, so he continued: The beloved concubine gave it to Yao Fang. What you need to pay attention to is: First, keep it confidential for me, and do not tell anyone the source of the book, including Yao Fang; second, after Yao Fang copied it, the book would be returned.He told Yao Fang that he should pay attention to: He also needs to keep it confidential, and he cannot say that this book was given by you or that it was from someone he made friends with.

After Zhu Gaoxu said that, he asked again: Can the beloved concubine do it?

Yao Ji refused to answer, but just smiled and said: Thank you for your trust.

She immediately said: What the Lord means, don’t let people know, is this book written by the Lord and the Imperial Concubine?

Zhu Gaoxu said: That's exactly what it means.

Yao Ji glanced at him and tried to open it. What kind of book is this?

It can be said that it is something that books say, it is very important.Zhu Gaoxu said.

Yao Ji asked again: What should Yao Fang do after copying a copy?

Zhu Gaoxu said: He handed it over to the right guard commander and Qian Xun of the Nan Office of the Guardian, and said that it came from all over the country.

The cover of that book has the title, and the book is: Science translations of various countries.

Yao Ji looked through it for a while, then raised her head and said: People who write books and make a name for all generations.The emperor is so careful that he gave his name to Yao Fang easily.

Zhu Gaoxu said: I have long since no one cared about reputation.

Yao Ji looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a smile: What does the emperor care about?

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while and said: The vast wave pushed me to this time and position, and I had this experience, so I must do my best to responsibilities, not for myself.If a great civilization loses opportunities because of one's own stupidity and fear, then one will die and be uneasy.

He murmured: Survival of things, the way of heaven has no morality.

Yao Ji's misty smile disappeared, and she thought about Zhu Gaoxu's obscure words just now very seriously.
