Zhu Houzhao's words were amazing, he was extremely disagreeable with Liu Jian and others putting this cement on defense, in his opinion, no matter how strong the castle was, it would be breached one day.

The law he believed in was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's 'Kou can go, I can also go', in the classic words of later generations, that is, offense is the best defense.

With an artifact like cement, it is completely possible to gradually encroach on the grassland, instead of building a high-walled city for passive defense.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

When Liu Jian heard this, he knew that Zhu Houzhao did not agree with his point of view, so he thought about it and asked.

Others also looked at Zhu Houzhao one after another, wanting to see what kind of opinion this Ming prince could have.

"My Ming Dynasty has a thousand miles of sea territory, thousands of miles of frontier, such a vast territory, if you just blindly think about passive defense, the enemy can always find a loophole to break in."

"Although the Great Wall is majestic and tall, with the protection of the Great Wall, we are relatively safer, but since ancient times, my Middle Earth Shenzhou has not really sat back and felt free because of the Great Wall, on the contrary, there have been many times in history that Shenzhou has fallen, and the artifact has fallen into the hands of foreign races, which is enough to show that defense is only a temporary measure, and it cannot really defend the enemy outside the country."

Zhu Houzhao pondered, quickly sorted out his language, and said slowly.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and others also nodded slightly, starting from the construction of the Great Wall by Qin Shi Huang, although the Great Wall played a certain defensive role.

However, in the past dynasties in history, this external trouble has never been cut off, and there have even been many foreign occupations of the Central Plains, especially the Yuan Dynasty, which is even more so, which shows that with the Great Wall, it is not really easy to sit back and relax.

"In my opinion, this Great Wall not only does not have the role of praying to defend against foreign enemies, on the contrary, it also greatly consumes the fighting spirit and enterprising spirit of our descendants of Yan and Huang."

"Because of the existence of the Great Wall, we believe that we can sit back and relax, so that we indulge in enjoyment without any sense of worry, which eventually led to the fall of Shenzhou and the destruction of life."

"This cement is naturally very suitable for the construction of the Great Wall, it is cheap, easy to use, and not afraid of wind and rain, durable, with this artifact, we are enough to easily build a more vast and magnificent Great Wall."

"But if we just think about using the Great Wall for defense, our future generations will still repeat the mistakes of history."

Zhu Houzhao's words also made the people present silent, everyone is a person who has read history books, and they are naturally very clear about the history of all dynasties, and they clearly know that what Zhu Houzhao said is not unreasonable.

"Then according to His Highness, how should this thing be used?"

Xie Qian thought for a while and asked.

Now is not to discuss the problem of cement, it is equivalent to a disguised discussion of the Ming Dynasty's external strategy, the Ming Dynasty since the change of the civil fort, the military strength is weakened, and there is no longer the ability to attack the grassland, so it has always been defense-oriented, and all the previous kings of the past dynasties are actively building the Great Wall for defense.

Of course, this is also related to the literati in power, Wenchen tried his best to exclude and suppress the military generals and nobles, so that the military strength of the Ming Dynasty declined rapidly, and it was impossible to continue the offensive again, and he could only choose passive defense, which was a very helpless reality, but it was also in line with the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

"The Great Wall still has to be repaired, and with the defense of the Great Wall, we can attack, retreat and defend, and occupy the initiative."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said.

"This cement is originally an artifact used to build the city wall, so it is natural to give full play to its strengths."

"But with this cement, we can build such avenues into the grassland, and then build castles, with the castle as a base, and gradually divide and encroach on the entire grassland, and finally turn the grassland into my Ming Dynasty's Wanli pasture, and naturally no worries from now on."

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes lit up slightly, since he became the emperor, he had to worry about the little prince's southward journey every year.

As soon as winter comes, this little prince will definitely lead the army south, burning and looting on the land of the Central Plains, every time the corpses will be strewn all over the field, and the blood will flow like a river, and sometimes he even dares to attack the Jingshi, fantasizing about whether he can occupy this fertile land in Shenzhou again.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to repair these jackal-like Tatars fiercely, but they were often powerless, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty army was too scummy, relying on the defense of the city to be able to resist one or two, if you go out to fight in the field, you basically have no return.

Now hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, thinking about it carefully, maybe it is really possible, relying on cement to build a castle, coupled with this spacious cement road, maybe it can really slowly eat away the entire grassland.

Compared with the joy on Emperor Hongzhi's face, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang looked at each other, and as literati, their position was naturally from the position of a literati.

The nature pursued is still the way of the literati to govern the country, the emperor should govern the country with benevolence and virtue, as for the external troubles in this area, with the artifact of cement, he will naturally sit back and relax in the future, and he should not think about encroaching on the grassland and taking the initiative to provoke jackals.

What's more, this grassland is a bitter cold land, far less rich and prosperous than the Central Plains, so why bother to occupy it, even if it is occupied, this grassland can not grow food, can only graze cattle and sheep, and there is no great use.

The faces of the three of them all showed a slight wry smile and helpless expression, Emperor Hongzhi still listened to them very much, this Zhu Houzhao already had his own ideas at such a young age, and it seemed that he still had his own blueprint and concept.

In the future, when he reigns in the world, I am afraid that it will be the time for the generals and nobles to rise, and it will be difficult to suppress it, and there will be a situation where the people are now in power.

And now Emperor Hongzhi seems to have a new view of the military generals, and whenever there is anything, he will consult the opinion of the British public Zhang Mao, which also makes several people anxious, but they are helpless.

Although the Ming Dynasty is in power, the emperor's authority is naturally unquestionable, if the emperor really wants to do something, even if they oppose it, the emperor still has a lot of ways to realize his ideas.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang looked along this winding highway until they saw the end, wanting to see how the future would develop.
