Chapter 1438: I was fortunate to have gained, but I lost my life
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "20180616213205983".
In this meeting between Wu Zheng and Zheng Sen, there was a conversation that was not known to outsiders.
At that time, Zheng Sen asked Wu Zheng a question: "If the punishment is unknowable, the power is unpredictable...... Where will His Royal Highness King Wu place the Ming Room? ”
Wu Zheng replied: "Don't be afraid of more, afraid of chaos, afraid of incurable, afraid of disorder!" If the world follows morality, ethics, rights and dignity in the future, Wu Zheng is willing to give up his hand to the virtuous! ”
Zheng Sen asked: "What is virtuous?" ”
Wu Zheng didn't even think about it, and replied: "Those who can revive the Han nationality, revitalize China, spread the prestige of China to the four seas, and spread the power of the world are virtuous!" ”
"Promote military force and suppress literature, and reckless military force...... King Wu wants to subvert the ancestral system? ”
Wu Zheng pondered for a while, then raised his head and smiled: "What is the ancestral system?" I think the best way to deal with a tradition that has become obsolete is to start anew. ”
"Is it true or subversive?"
"Of course, if the shelf is still useful, it can continue to exist, and its existence does not affect reality. Just imagine, the existence of God has never affected the dynastic regimes of the past...... But the core must be reset! If you insist it's subversive, subvert it! ”
Shelf?
God?
Reset?
Wu Zheng's words surprised and stunned Zheng Sen.
"Qin lost his deer, and King Wu wanted to hunt?"
"I'm lucky to have it, but I've lost my life!"
"If anyone ...... If you want to take it by force, how will King Wu stay? ”
Wu Zheng laughed, seemingly casual, but he waved his hand arrogantly, and said: "In the eyes of this king, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by the Northern Expeditionary Army, if there is, then the two guards ......." ”
Zheng Sen then fell silent, but in the end, he agreed to Wu Zheng's proposal that the two armies work together to fight against the Manchus!
Historical records...... On that day, King Wu infected the undecided King of Yanping County with a kind of pride that had never been seen before or since, and the success of the Northern Expedition was instantly advanced by no less than ten years, which was the "Tanhu Mountain Alliance".
……。
Wei Kuangguo has never been so embarrassed as he is now.
He didn't mean or act to fall into the well with the people of all countries, he just served as a mouthpiece for the people of all countries, and protested and demanded to the General's Palace.
But Wei Kuangguo did not expect that at this time, as the entrusted person, he would submit a request to the General's Mansion to negotiate to settle the dispute.
Wei Kuangguo could not refuse, because it also involved the interests of the Holy See and himself.
"Your Excellency King Wu...... It was a misunderstanding...... Too many innocent people have died, and it's time to end this war that shouldn't have happened....... ”
Wei Kuangguo looked at Wu Zheng, who was in high spirits and had just returned to Hangzhou Mansion, and said incomprehensibly.
Wu Zheng, who was in good spirits on happy occasions and had no worries, looked at Wei Kuangguo with a smile, "Mr. Maldini, we are old friends...... If you have something to say, please feel free to say it. ”
"I'm under the command of the Combined Fleet? General Thorne has been entrusted to ask you to agree to negotiate and ...... the two sides on the case of the Northern Expeditionary Army's port encroachment on the goods of merchants from various countries. ”
Wu Zheng smiled and shook his hand and said: "Mr. Maldini has misunderstood, the Northern Expeditionary Army has already made a decision to requisition the goods of merchants from various countries in Hong Kong, and the financial department of the General's Mansion will compensate for the original price and pay the corresponding interest, which does not need to be negotiated...... What needs to be negotiated is the invasion of the combined fleets of various countries into our maritime frontier and the heavy losses caused by our naval divisions. ”
The positions of the two are obviously different, and the difference is too great.
One is an infringement case and the other is an invasion case, although there is a difference in one word, but the nature is completely different.
Wu Zheng stopped Wei Kuangguo, who wanted to argue, and said with a smile: "Public is public, private is private, the friendship between you and me cannot influence the disputes between countries, if Mr. Maldini is willing, you can stay in Hangzhou Mansion as my honored guest, and the promise I made to you before will not ......." ”
Wei Kuangguo was a little anxious and said, "But this war has hurt the interests of merchants from all countries...... Even the Holy See. ”
Wu Zheng's face gradually retracted into a smile, "So, in the combined fleet, there is also a part of the Holy See?" ”
Wei Kuangguo hurriedly said: "Your Excellency has misunderstood, this is absolutely impossible, the Holy See has always regarded Your Excellency as the closest friend of ...... Far East. ”
"That's good." Wu Zheng's face turned slightly pale, "As long as the Holy See is not involved, then this matter is not difficult to solve." ”
Wei Kuangguo asked urgently, "How do you want to resolve the dispute between the United Fleet and your sailors?" ”
"That's not right!" Wu Zhengzheng said categorically, "This is not a dispute, this is a just war of aggression and counter-aggression, and the anti-aggressor can get the right to investigate and deal with the aggressor." ”
"Yes...... The Combined Fleet was not defeated. ”
"They fled!"
"The combined fleet still has almost a thousand warships."
"Behind this king, there are tens of millions of people!" Wu Zheng no longer gave Wei Kuangguo face, and said coldly.
Wei Kuangguo had to soften his tone, "Your Excellency King Wu, what the Great General's Mansion needs now is not war, only peace...... is the right choice, no businessman wants to be in the middle of a war, and the safety of their property is their must choice. ”
"The Great General's Mansion, which can't even take care of his family, obviously doesn't need peace." Wu Zheng said coldly word by word.
Wei Kuangguo had to solemnly ask his intentions, "Your Excellency, can you suggest an option that will enable both sides to end the war with dignity?" Let this damn war end as soon as possible, let everything go back to the way it was, and let peace come sooner rather than later? ”
"Monsieur Maldini, the king is willing to embrace peace, but only if the combined fleet surrenders to the Admiral's Palace, and the king can guarantee their personal safety and let them return home."
Wei Kuangguo was stunned, this was obviously a world of difference from his original guess of Wu Zhenghui's request.
A fleet of just over 200 capital ships left, in a threatening tone, to make a fleet of no less than 500 capital ships surrender?
Wei Kuangguo looked at Wu Zheng in surprise, speechless, he really didn't understand, where did the young man in front of him get such a big mystery of confidence and confidence.
……。
Wu Zheng's confidence comes from the alliance with Zheng Sen, which is beyond doubt.
Once the second and third of the top three most powerful fleets in East Asia are united, their strength will be able to rival the combined fleet.
What's more, it is the sailor who has occupied the moral high ground and the preemptive leader to face it, but it is just a defeat for his subordinates.
Of course, this is not the most crucial, the most critical thing is that Wu Zheng has enough strategic room for maneuver, and the "base area" of the combined fleet is only Dongfan Island, which has not yet been civilized, and there is not even a decent military workshop there.
In other words, the supply of firearms and ammunition for the combined fleet needs to come from thousands of miles away.
This is Wu Zheng's real confidence.
However, the war did not quickly break out again.
Both sides, no, all three need tactical contraction, like a retraction before striking a heavy punch.
