Keeping the ancestral country is the biggest ancestral system!

In fact, the reason why he said this is not just to get these clans into the army as cannon fodder. It is also to prove the "legitimacy" of his succession to the throne.

I can keep the country of my ancestors, and of course I am the emperor who deserves it!

And there is a deeper reason - reform!

In Chinese history, even if it was the reform during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some people would jump out and say that "the ancestral system cannot be violated", and they would jump out and say that it was the "ancestral system", which was clearly to oppose the reform under the pretext of "ancestral system".

But many people can still succeed.

Why?

In the final analysis, it is because of one word "filial piety".

Violating the rules set by the ancestors is unfilial. If you want to change the rules of your ancestors, you are not filial.

You see, that's how conservative conservatives, or vested interests, put a big hat on you.

In the name of the ancestral system, those with vested interests can continue to eat their meat and drink their soup, completely ignoring the changes in the current situation in the world and the changes in the world.

And what is the final price of such conservatism?

It is the death of the country.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were like this. This has been the case throughout the dynasties.

After all, society is developing and progressive, and if we do not reform in the course of progress, we will inevitably be eliminated by history.

That's why Zhu Guoqiang threw out this sentence.

With "keeping the ancestral country is the biggest ancestral system!" In the future, not only will he be able to carry out reforms in a clear and straightforward manner, but his children and grandchildren will also carry out reforms in accordance with the changes in history in the future.

After all, now is the prelude to the changes unseen in a thousand years, what the future world will look like, Zhu Guoqiang can also not grasp, for him, he may be able to set off a vigorous industrial revolution in his lifetime, he is confident that through the input of science and technology from another world, he can complete the road of another world in half a century, and the Europeans have completed it in a hundred years.

Trains, ships, planes, everything will be in this world.

But then what?

What will it look like in 100 years, 200 years?

Zhu Guoqiang didn't know that even in the next few decades, with his epoch-making weapons, he would occupy this world and truly become a world empire.

But what will the Ming Dynasty face in two hundred years?

It wasn't something he could handle.

Therefore, the future Ming must continue to reform, which is the foundation of its eternal vitality.

, he had to completely dismantle the conservative "killer feature" from the very beginning.

Of course, for Zhu Guoqiang, who is bent on building a world empire, he needs these clans to balance the power of local governors and local political factions, and by whom did Spanish rule in South America be dismantled?

Is it indigenous?

The joke was dismantled by the Governor and the so-called native-born whites.

What about the future of land and fiefdom?

As long as they can turn Nanyang, India, Africa, Europe, and America into a part of the Ming Dynasty, let them be kings in the autonomous states!

Zhou Tianzi can be a feudal prince, and tomorrow's son can also be a feudal king!

Now, of course, there is no need to tell them about this.

Facing His Majesty who swore an oath, Zhu Yujian, Zhu Youzhu and others were all speechless in surprise, and they bowed to His Majesty one after another.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve in the army, even if I die on the battlefield, I will never dishonor the name of Emperor Gao!"

Zhu Guoqiang returned the salute.

"I hope you will live up to the name of the emperor and kill the thief bravely!"

……

"General, although since we left Cangzhou, the state and county officials and gentry along the way have risen up to seize the city, all of which belong to my Ming Dynasty, but Tumen Pass, Niangzi Pass, and Guguan are all garrisoned by thieves, and we want to enter Shanxi, I am afraid that this pass will have to be fought hard."

Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang who was riding on a horse, was wearing a military uniform that was no different from that of an ordinary official, and he looked no different from Zhou Yuji beside him.

The current Zhu Yujian is the capital supervisor of the Ming Western Expeditionary Army, and in the Western Expeditionary Army with a total strength of 30,000, nearly 100 capital supervisors have been dispatched, and each 100-person post has a clan as the capital supervisor, as for whether it can play a similar role as a political commissar.

To be honest, even Zhu Guoqiang himself doesn't know very well. But one thing is for sure, these clansmen are all eager to try, and they want to earn a family business with their military exploits.

However, for Zhu Yujian, who is the prince, he doesn't care about this, what he cares about is whether he can successfully win Shanxi, as long as he can successfully win Shanxi, it will be a great achievement for him.

Nodding noncommittally, Zhou Yuji looked towards Taihang Mountain, which is the most important barrier in Shanxi. In the Taihang Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles, there are only eight passes for the army to pass through, which is the so-called "Taihang Eight Mountains", and among the eight monsters, "Jing Cheng" got its name very early. Summarizing the nine most important mountain passes in the world, the so-called "nine stops in the world", Jingcheng is one of them. And Tumen Pass is the first pass to enter Jingcheng Road. The terrain there is "high and flat on all sides, and the middle and bottom are like wells", so it is called Jingcheng. Tumen Pass is also known as Jing Cheng Pass, or also called Jing Cheng Pass. Jingcheng Road connects Shanxi and Beizhili, if you want to enter Shanxi, you have to take the Tumen Pass!

And the Tumen Pass, but it's just one of them, and then there is the Niangzi Pass, and the Guguan Pass......

Although things are not easy to do, the battle will still be fought after all.

"Rest assured, this western expedition, considering that there are many passes along the way, Your Majesty has specially strengthened the firepower of our western expeditionary army, and when the time comes, just shell and attack the city!"

In fact, Zhou Yuji said this, and his heart also mentioned in his throat, this is also his first battle!

Although he has been in battle for a long time, this battle is related to what impression he can leave on His Majesty, Ning Wu Guan was guarded by him, but it was guarded by the first emperor, and the pass was also trapped.

Now His Majesty has entrusted him with a heavy task, letting him lead the Western Expeditionary Army and take on the heavy task of recovering Shanxi. This kind of kindness made Zhou Yuji eager to repay His Majesty's kindness, but the problem was ...... Is Shanxi that easy to fight?

Tumen Pass, Niangzi Pass, Guguan not to mention, Taiyuan also has thieves guarding, and even Jiang Huang of Datong, counting Shanxi has an army of 50,000 or 60,000 thieves, it seems that there are not many soldiers, but these soldiers are guarded in the pass, dangerous city, are guarded according to danger.

If those passes are not defeated, the thieves can enter Shanxi from other places, and when the time comes, they can even defend Shanxi to the death, so that His Majesty's plan for a quick victory is very likely to come to naught.

What if the thieves send reinforcements?
