Zhang Bin stood on the roof platform of a Zhenyuan cruiser, looking at the dense battleships in front, and couldn't help but be extremely proud, in the Age of Discovery, the strong ship and the cannon are the ultimate weapons, and there are so many ultimate weapons in his hands, and the terrifying production capacity of the Dongfan Shipyard, who can match, this era, will definitely belong to the Ming Dynasty!

The military generals behind him didn't know that Grandpa Guo was thinking about not Dongying on the way to attack Dongying, but other countries, almost all the generals looked at his back with respect, and didn't dare to disturb him to think about the "Dongying Raiders", only Kong Zhenyun, a non-cronie beside him, couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa Guo, why do we want to defeat Dongying?" The Japanese and barbarians are far worse than the Great Ming, and we still have to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of them after the defeat, which is more than worth the loss. ”

He is the view of most people at the moment, the Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the barbarians are also here to rub the things of the Ming Dynasty, in order to show the prestige of the sky, you can accept their attachment and give them some favors, but it is not necessary to take the initiative to occupy the barbarian country, accept the annexation, you can let them live a barbarian life, don't care about them, if you occupy the barbarian country, you have to take care of their livelihood, that is asking for trouble.

Zhang Bin came over this time, not only brought many generals, but also some civil servants, because after Dongying was defeated, someone must govern him, and he couldn't let it go, and Kong Zhenyun was his scheduled candidate for governor.

The reason why he didn't let his cronies serve as the governor naturally had his considerations, and as for what he was considering, he didn't want to mention it to others for the time being, but it was not okay for the governor to be so backward in his thinking, he criticized without hesitation: "Kaizhong, you have read too much." ”

When Kong Zhenyun heard this, he couldn't help but look confused, this book, is there still a saying that I have read too much, isn't it very little time to learn?

Zhang Bin then explained: "We used to be the Celestial Empire, yes, but countries have risen and fallen, you can't think that we will always be the Celestial Empire, and the barbarians will never be as good as the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thinking is wrong." Meng Yuan's destruction of the Great Song Dynasty is a profound lesson, but the vast majority of readers don't think about why, they know all day long that they think about it, this is the performance of nerds, you know? ”

Kong Zhenyun was puzzled: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, is there anything wrong with the study of knowledge?" ”

Zhang Bin asked rhetorically: "What do scholars read for?" Reading for the sake of reading? You know how to apply what you've learned? ”

Kong Zhenyun is also quite stubborn sometimes, he wants to think that it is reasonable, but no matter who you are, he has to be reasonable, he feels that Zhang Bin's view of scholars is wrong, so he stiffly said: "Grandpa Guo, this is wrong, aren't we all actively serving and contributing to the country and the people, isn't this called applying what you have learned?" ”

Zhang Bin retorted without hesitation: "Do we study just to be officials? Can a scholar only be an official? ”

This is even more one-sided, Kong Zhenyun said like a few treasures: "You can also write books and speak, you can also recite poems to make mistakes, you can also study calligraphy and painting skills, there are many things that readers can do, but if you want to get ahead, being an official is indeed the first choice." ”

He thought that he had seen a wide range of things, but in fact he was still limited to the old thinking, Zhang Bin also gave an example: "What you said, it is actually useless for the country and the people, what I said is how to benefit the country and the people by applying what I have learned, for example, Chuyang researches artillery, you may think that he is not doing his job, but if he goes to help Jiannu develop artillery, or he is from Dongying, how serious the consequences are, have you thought about it?" There is also the same reason that Meng Hou developed muskets and Liangfu developed trains. These things are of great use to the country and the people, think about it, if it is not me Zhang Bin who leads such a huge fleet to attack Dongying today, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi or Tokugawa Iemitsu who leads such a huge fleet to attack the Ming Dynasty, what is the end of our Ming Dynasty? ”

When Kong Zhenyun heard this, he looked at the dense battleships around him, and his face became extremely solemn, this question was indeed quite important, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

If the shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu was here, he would definitely be angry and spurt blood, and you guys don't take Toei too seriously, and on the way to attack Toei, you are actually discussing the problem of scholars!

Zhang Bin really didn't take Dongying very seriously, because his eyes were the whole world!

At this time, Dongying can indeed be regarded as a number of heroes in the Far East, but looking at the whole world, they are nothing at all, because their weapons and equipment have not caught up.

At this time, a black line slowly appeared in the distance, and Matsuura County, Hizen Province, arrived.

Zhang Bin took out the binoculars and swept it around a little, then ordered loudly: "Jackie Chan, prepare a salvo from the side side, and clean up Hirado City first." ”

Yu Chenglong bowed down and took the order, and he immediately ordered: "Send a clipper to inform the Marquis of Liaoyang, and in an hour later, the Tianxiong Army, the Dongjiang Army, and the Sichuan Army will attack on all fronts." ”

At this time, as long as the naval guns can reach the place, there is really no suspense in the battle, the battleship goes up for a while, and the battle is basically solved, if anyone dares to resist, then a few more rounds of bombardment will be done, and there is still no suspense.

The Matsuura clan in Hirado Castle was soon blown away, and Zhang Bin directly led the Fuguang army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry to land, and Lu Xiangsheng attacked on both sides, and soon took the entire Matsuura County, and at this time, the letter he sent had just been sent to the Toei shogunate general Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Tokugawa Iemitsu was dumbfounded when he saw the text, what a big hatred, if you want to raise the army and move the sea to retaliate, won't you beat your little brother twice, is it necessary to come and fight with me!

He didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at this time, because he still thought in his heart that Da Ming was just like this, and he really couldn't fight a naval battle, but when it came to land, it would be at most half a catty and eight taels, and Da Ming would not be afraid if he sent foot soldiers to land, because they had the right time, place, and people, and they would win!

He hasn't figured out what Da Ming means yet, does Da Ming want to take advantage of the terrifying gunboats?

This, he really can't help it, because he can't build a gunboat like Da Ming now, so he can only order someone to pass on the book Da Ming, don't get excited, have something to say.

This means to be soft, to see what benefits Da Ming wants, if it is not too much, he will give it painfully!

As a result, as soon as he asked people to send out the national letters, the bad news came one by one.

The Ming army attacked Nagasaki with thousands of warships, and Nagasaki was captured;

The Ming army landed in Nagasaki, and the Hizen Prefecture and Gaolai Prefecture were captured one after another;

The Ming army attacked on a large scale, and Kifu County, Adoptive Father County, Jinzai County, Saga County, and so on fell one after another;

The Ming army attacked by sea and land, and Songpu County of Hizen Kingdom fell;

The Ming army was unstoppable, and the Iki Kingdom and the Tsushima Kingdom fell one after another;

The Ming army's offensive was like a tide, Chikuzen, Chikugo, Satsuma, Hyuga and other countries fell one after another, and the entire Kyushu Island was about to be occupied by the Ming army!

Okay, stop fighting, I can't admit it.

Tokugawa Iemitsu hurriedly sent an envoy delegation to ask for peace with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will live in harmony!
