Chapter 26 The way of the son
On the Boruo, after hearing Jin Ke's words, Wang Rulong was also impressed and said inexplicably: "Yes, although the last general is not talented, he has also met countless heroes in the world, including General Qi, Governor Hu, Duke Tan, General Yu, etc. Although they all attach great importance to coastal defense, this kind of attention is to guard against the ocean, alienate the ocean, and even fear the ocean. Only the young master is a hero who is truly close to the ocean and hopes to conquer the ocean."
Before, they all thought that Zhao Hao was secretly storing the army overseas, but in fact they were planning to dominate the country. But in recent years, they felt more and more clearly that their loyal lord was really not interested in the Ming Dynasty and was determined to dominate the Ming Dynasty's borders...
This made them feel relieved, and there was a hint of regret in the hidden darkness in their hearts.
"You have all studied "Theory of the Sea Power", and now they are in charge of another sea area. Have you ever thought about the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the ocean?" Zhao Hao asked softly when he heard a chat.
But both of them were all excited because they knew that the young master was taking the exam. For generals of their level, this was the conversation that determined their future.
Fearing that Wang Rulong would say something, Jin Ke took the lead and said: "I first read the "Hai Quan Theory" taught by the Prince, which was very shocking.
But the more I think, the more I believe in the young master's far-sighted vision - in this era when trade depends on the ocean, winning the ocean is more beneficial than winning the land!"
"According to the prince's theory of sea power, how can God care about China? We have a long coastline, a vast territory, accounting for one-third of the world's population, and there is no neighboring power. This arranged the natural geography of a major sea and land power for the Ming Dynasty, and handed over the mission of governing the world to China!"
"However, as I said just now, among the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, there are Qin Emperors and Han Wu, Tang Emperor Song Emperor, and even Taizu of the dynasty. These kings who use heaven and earth as chessboards as big patterns and big-handed kings have never been limited to the land of China. Therefore, their great achievements are only related to the land of China, and have never been related to the ocean."
"Only Emperor Chengzu once turned his attention to the sea and built a sea border for the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, there were only naval commanders like Sanbao Eunuch, and there was no commercial genius like Gongzi. It was difficult to maintain the national strength in voyage to the West. In the end, the naval chart was burned and the treasure ship turned into ashes. The eyes of the Chinese people returned to the land, becoming more and more self-consistent, like a frog in the well."
"It shouldn't be like this. We have such a long coastline, and tens of millions of people who make a living by the sea. We should not be just a land power, but also a sea power. Only when we are not neglected can we be called a country in the heavens!" Jin Ke's words made Zhao Hao feel very pleased, because he had indeed opened his eyes to the world and focused his attention on the world, not just the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.
"Yes, it was called the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire during the reign of Emperor Chengzu." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "But there is no need to blame the ancestors. After all, before the great geographical discovery, the Age of Discovery had not yet arrived, and the world was indeed divided and disconnected. So they only focused on the Shenzhou and did not damage their greatness."
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "But now, Spain and Portugal have already ridden warships, burned the world all over, and divided the world with great courage and seized endless profits. Their actions will continue to stimulate the rise of the great powers. In the future, there will be a stronger and more difficult empire to rise, completely crushing the great powers that the two countries were unable to conquer before - so in this era, no big power can survive alone! Being self-confidence will only be trapped in dangerous cities, lose power, and even destroy the country and the race. Become a sinner of the country and the nation! "
As he said that, he glanced at Wang Rulong and asked with a smile: "What do you think?"
Then he saw Wang Rulong's red beard, like a ball of fire jumping in the wind, and there was flame burning in his eyes: "No matter before Chengzu, since Chengzu, any court that neglected the ocean is a reactionary court. Any emperor who imposed the maritime ban and ruined the revival of China in the ocean is a fool!"
Jin Ke couldn't help but change his color slightly. In the Ming Dynasty, he called the emperor a foolish monarch and political correctness, and there was no big problem. But the court that dared to scold the "Zhongzhengxiang" was a reactionary court, but he was very bold.
But he felt relieved when he heard this.
"Good words!" Zhao Hao applauded, "Brother Wang always hit the nail on the head. It's right! As Li Zhuowu said, the world is now inverted, so the heroes are indifferent, and the heroes are indifferent, and they are directly driven to be thieves! Who is governing the world? The court! The world is inverted, and what is it if they are not a reactionary court?!"
In the depths of this distant ocean, the halo of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty completely disappeared, and seemed to become as ordinary as the old king next door. There are not so many taboos for those topics that cannot be easily mentioned in daily life.
"..." Jin Ke and Wang Rulong's hearts were suddenly filled with blood. The young master's words were in their hearts!
The two of them also had Zhu Jue. The three of them were promising court officials. In a blink of an eye, the civil servants took off their official clothes on false charges and almost issued an imperial prison! If the prince had not taken them in, they would have been a bandit.
Isn’t this just that the heroes are jealous of unfairness, the heroes are indifferent, and they are directly driven to be robbers?!
"Young master might as well fuck him, and make things happen and clear the emperor!" Thinking of his old grudges, Wang Rulong still gritted his teeth and said with grudges of hatred: "Give the world a clear and clear mind!"
Jin Ke looked at Zhao Hao nervously. Although he was determined to go to the end with the young master no matter what, it would be better not to rebel...
"Then we will have to live Qingming Festival in the future." Zhao Hao laughed and said, "I'm joking."
He knew that when he had to let his general commander clearly understand his thoughts, otherwise he would let them guess randomly, and would be distracted and become a person.
"Actually, both of you are very clear. The soldiers are not many but the elite. With the system, training and equipment of our security area, we have been gathering ten years of hard work. It is not impossible to directly attack the Yellow Dragon and cleanse the demonic atmosphere." He said, holding his smile and said, "But the question is, what after?"
"After that..." The two were confused when asked. Even if they were as bold as Wang Rulong, they thought of the Chenqiao mutiny and never thought about the problem after the 'Mountains and Rivers'.
"Of course, the young master came to govern the country and pacify the world..." Wang Rulong said with a sound like a mosquito.
"The problem is here. The world is too sick, I can't cure it." Zhao Hao shook his head flatly and said, "When Wang Mang was in power, the Western Han Dynasty was founded for two hundred years. The Ming Dynasty was founded for two hundred years. There were many problems and even more. My ability was far inferior to Wang Jujun. Even Wang Mang could not bear the burden, so I could not bear it. If he was forced to do so, he would only lose faster than him. In the end, he would be a bargain!"
Having a clear understanding of himself is the main reason why Mr. Zhao can survive until now.
"Young Master is too humble. How could the miracle you founded in just a few years be comparable to the second generation ancestor like Wang Mang?" Wang Rulong said disagreed.
"If you really think so, remember it for me and don't get involved in politics for the rest of your life." Zhao Hao looked at him with a serious expression: "Otherwise, you will be jealous of death. If you have to worry about the nine clans, you will be very guilty."
"Yes, I will definitely take it as a warning." Wang Rulong lowered his head, couldn't help but sweat, and dared not say a word.
"You don't have to worry. Political ability has never been a plus or a deduction for evaluating soldiers." Zhao Hao smiled and comforted him.
"Oh." Wang Rulong breathed a sigh of relief and became the obedient Wang Rumao.
Now even Jin Ke didn't dare to say anything. The young master said this, but in fact he told them not to think randomly in the future and just obey orders and obey commands.
"I will only say these words to you once and keep them in my heart." Seeing that the beating was too heavy, Mr. Zhao couldn't help but worry. If the two of you were really restrained and they would be a monk and hit the clock every day, it would be troublesome.
He had no choice but to sigh, lower his voice, and briefly talk to the two: "The current situation of the Ming Dynasty is a dead end. In fact, even us, even the Jiangnan Group itself, are the products of the political failure of the Ming Dynasty - it is the court's decree that cannot leave the capital, which gives us room for lightning rise."
"Yes." The two of them nodded quickly and were taught.
"For the sake of the present, we can only seek to go outside - expand outward at all costs, use the excess profits of overseas trade to move the rich from their own land. Use overseas colonization and development to let the poor see hope. Relieve pressure from the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely inverted and unsolvable. You think, if you give the Ming Dynasty another piece of land as big as the Ming Dynasty, will everyone have a better life?"
"Of course." The two nodded and said, "But can there be?"
"Okay, as long as we become a maritime power, we will definitely be able to create one more or even two Ming people for the Ming people." Speaking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but say with longing: "At that time, the Indian plain will be our granary, Jue Island will have our pastures, South American plateaus and western North American prairie, and our cattle herds. The gold from Japan, Peru, Luzon, Jue Island will continue to flow to the Ming Dynasty. Indians plant cotton for us, and Siberia will provide us with endless wood. Our sugarcane, spice and rubber plantations are all over the South China Sea Islands. How could the Ming Dynasty at that time be the current Ming Dynasty?"
The two of them were completely fascinated and felt that the scene depicted by the young master was like a kingdom of heaven.
"Can you really do that?" Wang Rulong asked in a daze.
"This is not a dream, because our enemies are too small than us. As long as we start to pay attention to the ocean, embrace the ocean, and conquer the ocean, we will definitely let the sun and moon shine in the world forever!"
After a pause, he sighed:
"So our biggest enemy is the concept of the court and the people! We must do everything possible to break the all-round confinement brought by this more than 150 years of closed-door country! And we are the pioneers who were the first to break the shackles. Let us use groups of merchant ships, fierce fleets, and vast overseas army to open up broad and rich overseas lands, cleanse the rotten air inside, let our China Sea and the sea of people be one, and eventually turn into huge waves to sweep the whole world - this matter is absolutely impossible to be wrong!"
In the end, Zhao Hao almost yelled.
Jin Ke and the others couldn't help but kneel on one knee, and swore in unison: "I am willing to be the young master's thousand-year plan, and I will do whatever I want!"
Chapter completed!
