Some loss, these years, the Donglin Party in charge of the Ming really made the Vietnamese people feel extremely happy, in the focus on touting, under the strategy of the day arch, and the two Guangxi and Xiong Wencan like to spend money to recruit the big guys, naturally get a lot of benefits, although in this process, the people of the two Guangxi have suffered a lot, but the Donglin people are fame and fortune.

There's a paradox here.

Whether a ruler's reputation abroad is good or not has little to do with his actual level of governance.

In other words, if a foreign ruler is very, very bad in your impression, then he may be a good person, and a good reputation is likely to sell the interests of his country in exchange for how much personal benefits.

What kind of big dictator you say? I'm sorry, just like a person like Silly Damu, people deal with the opposition at home by themselves, what's the matter with you, will you hate a person who bullies in his own home and is not his own clan, that is, he is good to rule his fellow villagers, you know, every year Comrade Silly Damu has to buy a large amount in China, and the oil price is also fair, and he is a big boss praised by the foreign trade department, will you scold the big boss.

Many people imagine the so-called dictator as a tyrannical big fat man, holding a young girl in his arms, while ordering his own Imperial Forest Army to slaughter the revolutionary masses, in fact, more of it, but it is just the spokesperson of one class to oppress another class, there is no group of people to help you do things with all your heart, you are a bare commander, do you want to rule the monkey?

Just as Comrade Silly Damu relies on his fellow Tikrik, no matter what kind of ruler he is, in fact, his strength only comes from his own team, and once he is abandoned by his team, then there is nothing left.

The Zheng clan of North Vietnam actually relied on the Praetorian Guard team left by the Mo Dynasty, how many Imperial Forest Troops relied on such a soaring prosperity, but the only way for them to keep their glory and wealth was to keep marching troops, even if they knew that the front was the enemy's bunker camp, they had to keep attacking, in this, the ghost knows how many chains of interests were involved?

But this is not the way, the offensive consumption is higher, and in the process, it is a march that constantly consumes one's prestige and strength.

In this process, whoever has more combat effectiveness in his hands can take the initiative in the Northern Dynasty and win the biggest cake after the Southern Expedition and the Southern Empire.

Before Zheng Zhun came, he still fantasized about tempting this unbelievable gentleman, at least according to the nephew's description, a gentleman, let him fool himself into aid, and obtain the greatest benefits, but in this way, the gentleman is a gentleman, but he is a gentleman who completely ignores things, and wants to deal with the Donglin Party like that, pretending to be an angry barbarian, causing the other party to appease one or two, but people don't seem to care.

After a long time, dealing with the Donglin Party's several sets, it seems that none of them work on this gentleman, which makes Zheng Zhun very uncomfortable, and he can only hold a piece of paper with a few handwriting printed on it, and the bronzing handwriting on it is the name of the strange bureau of the so-called "North Industries Group".

However, since there is such a good opportunity, Mu Rongshan also pulled this person to chat, if you don't look at his weird and exaggerated dress, Mu Rongshan's words can be called humorous, and it can also be called friendly to those residents of the new time and space.

"Lao Zheng, let's hit it off at first sight, let's toast to our first encounter."

"We have a saying in the north, deep feelings, a mouthful, let's hit it off at first sight, it's really unreasonable to have more than one drink!"

"Here, cheers to how much liquid alcohol we can drink! Ah, did I mention the word alcohol. ”

The so-called wine table war, that is the time of later generations, the grain production was solved, and there were a large number of rich grain products, only the so-called decadent wine culture was produced, and in this era, the noble people drank more of a kind of communication, at the wine table, find a few famous prostitutes, talk generous, interesting, this is the true meaning.

Where did Zheng Zhun know that most of the wine that was poured into the cup of this "Prince of Chu" was actually spit into a handkerchief by him, and finally disappeared, in fact, the third cup was down, he was already out of control, Vietnam follows the living habits of Liangguang, in fact, he drinks more rice wine, how can there be a ferocious two-pot head brought by Mu Rongshan casually, and when the fish and shrimp on the table began to cool, Zheng Zhun has also poured on the wine table, and was resisted by the attendants around him.

Mu Rongshan didn't think about what to do, he already knew what Vietnam was, its country was small and the class division was serious, what had changed, compared to at least one of the two classes of the Li Dynasty, Vietnam was easier to solve, but for the elders, the problem never came from the military, but from governance and diplomacy.

The elders, who lack their own team, are now playing a game of covering ten wine bottles with one bottle cap, at least until the population migration is completed, the new development area is developed, and the new people who have been modernized and educated can use it, they can only rely on these extraordinary means.

For a Chinese, the most familiar and favorite strategy is to occupy a place of great beauty, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is best to have high-quality resources such as coal and iron, and it is best to have no strong enemies around, or strong enemies to contain each other, and they are developing on the side, farming, smelting steel, building military schools, cough cough cough cough......

But the reality of the Ming Dynasty makes it impossible for them to choose such tactics, and these Zheng people in front of them also have a similar situation, they don't have much money, lack of their own capital chain, and it is impossible to do anything based on reform, in fact, they can't think of the advanced nature of Western science and technology, they just treat them as a strange and novel outsider, and what they can't imagine is that hundreds of years later, how these foreigners slaughtered their descendants.

Yes, Mu Rongshan intermittently set out some words, in this era, whether it is the north and the south, they have played the trick of borrowing soldiers, borrowing foreign soldiers, one side is close to the Dutch, one side is close to the Portuguese, both sides are for business, fighting each other, this kind of colonizer, when it is also aggrieved.

Of course, Mu Rongshan also understands some truths, in this era, although the Easterners, including most Chinese, the science and technology brought by Westerners, religion, is nothing more than a new thing, many are fascinated by it, but you now tell them that this set of hard power brought by science will prevail over the soft power line they are accustomed to grammar and law, how many do you believe?

Even the Europeans themselves are actually ignorant, although under continuous exploration, they are basically the first to understand the whole picture of the earth, but the world is so big, who would have thought that they are the masters of the future? That is, later became more and more bold, a few dicks found a boat, and robbed overseas, so that they could earn a reward of 100 times and 1000 times compared to hard work, which gradually made people confused, and began to no longer work hard to farm, but to take the route of fighting and killing, and the social atmosphere no longer advocates hard work, but worships the tricks of conquest of the aristocracy.

By the time the United States proclaimed its Destiny, it was officially and clearly telling the other nations that these children of Europeans had a real grasp of the earth, and at this time, those who did not know what the situation was about to be expelled from the earth.

But in this era, they can really fight hard for a small profit, for some natives, of course, it is impossible to ask them to hold a bomb like a combat hero, but in conscience, in order to entangle, put a few shots at a critical moment, but it can be done.

That's the power of money.

Mu Rongshan thought about it, these Vietnamese people still have a good degree of acceptance of Europeans, as Zheng Zhun said, there are already Zheng family people "studying" in Macau, and the proportion of Western-style muskets in the forbidden army has also begun to increase.

Of course, Mu Rongshan also understands that Zheng Zhun, who is half-awake and half-confused, may not have the intention of using Westerners' things to reduce prices, but it is nothing more than the idea of not giving benefits here, so I will go to the next house.

Mu Rongshan is a little strange, but I don't know how to confide, it seems that a hundred years of history have passed here, in fact, even if it is Vietnamese, it is just a branch of the Chinese, but it gave itself an unknown name of "Jing nationality", it is pretending to be independent, but although it is separated from North Vietnam and Vietnam, it always insists on pursuing reunification like the Chinese, and every year countless young people die tragically on the front line of internal fighting.

But the most ridiculous thing is that these Europeans can tell them countless scientific knowledge, but they refuse to say that if there is no internal fighting, and this momentum is used for foreign expansion, wouldn't ten Vietnams be available, if nothing else, one Australia is enough to be ten Vietnams, let alone South America.

Mu Rongshan understood this, but he couldn't tell others: "No one has a front and back eye." ”

It is impossible for them to say directly about the changes of this era, but Mu Rongshan really understands some of the places where the ancients, or the Orientals, really failed.

In fact, in terms of the pursuit of science and technology trees, several eastern powers have never lagged behind, after all, war is the best scientific catalyst, and the lords of these countries are not stupid, in the past few thousand years, any national system invested in the new Ministry of Science and Technology has been crushed by others.

Whether it is the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, or the Japanese shogunate, not to mention several Ottoman emperors who are determined to reform, they are not exclusive to Western science and technology, but on the other hand, between their systems, the good side, how to learn?

The system of each country, if it is only considered in terms of the ruling class, but it is based on England, what can the British do when they are the strongest? After defeating the old and corrupt Qing Dynasty, it was in the war, in order to understand more information, so the imperial examination system entered their eyes, so the research, analysis, deduction, and finally, the civil service examination system appeared, and it only took more than ten years.

It is not difficult for a person to learn from the strong, and it is not difficult to learn from his enemies, and he can endure it, just as in the 80s, countless people shouted that the Japanese were not authentic, and sold substandard steel to the Three Gorges, with evil intentions, but in order to surpass it, it was also tacit patience.

However, there are a few people who can do it, to learn from a group of backward peoples in the East who are far inferior to themselves, outdated, and have just been defeated by themselves!

You can't have vanity in governing the country.

Mu Rongshan actually had such an insight, and realized that not everything was good in ancient times, and the arrogance of some ancient people would also kill people.

Although Zheng Zhun was drunk, he didn't keep it, nor did he learn the arrangements of some TV series, arranged a few women for Zheng Zhun, and just politely let him be taken away, after all, even if it was the rear, he hadn't figured out what kind of attitude to treat it with, and now was not a good time to make a move.

Mu Rongshan was very frank, but Zheng Zhun didn't seem to show up the next day, under the pretext of being drunk, he knew that he had lost his words the day before, and their refuge with the Portuguese was too obvious, which made them feel embarrassed.

In this era, the Chinese system had not collapsed, and the number of Westerners in Asia was too small, and they were all small-scale adventurers who made a fortune as pirates, and slowly formed a team like the East India Company, and finally became a consortium, and to the monarchs of these small countries, it was just a group of pirates and maritime merchants.

By the evening of the second day, Mu Rongshan finally got a reply from the imperial capital.

"Bet?"

Liang Cunhou's speed of speech was not fast, but he said very clearly: "You know, we were ready to go south to beat them under the pretext of borrowing troops from the Mo family, but, depending on what you mean, for the Vietnamese people, whether it is the Mo Dynasty or the Zheng family, it is not something to be nostalgic for, if you really use this excuse, you will have to support a few people from the Mo family, in fact, where do you let me find such a person?" The best thing is, if you can let them implode on their own, wouldn't it be great? ”

Mu Rongshan said: "But people are so obedient and fight by themselves? ”

Liang Cunhou said: "This kind of primitive system of the country, basically depends on balance, internal balance and checks and balances, and if all of a sudden, one side gets a lot of foreign aid, and suddenly the army is strong, you say, will the other branches be swept away?" ”

Mu Rongshan smiled and said, "I understand what you mean." ”

Liang Cunhou said: "These days, I am presiding over the opening of the university, there is an old master, but he told me a lot of things, he regarded me as everyone's emperor, and he said that it was all about imperial arts, however, one thing is very clear, the lord of a force may not have the ability to preside over everyone's will, usually, it is just a prop that is coerced, among them, the most wronged is Tang Taizong, how can Taizong have the mind of self-reliance, but he is under Tiance Mansion, and there are more military forces in the Kanto region, what Cheng bites gold or something, And on the prince's side, he is naturally a nobleman and nobleman, and the two sides are incompatible, if you Li Er don't support these people with military merits, why do people follow you? ”

Mu Rongshan also understood, and said: "But what if you secretly support someone with a firearm like this, they won't be able to fight." ”

Liang Cunhou's smile came from afar in the imperial capital: "Turn off the right to use the Mauser rifle, but it's only a few tens of seconds, my brother." ”
