Chapter Ninety-Five: The Empire on which the Sun Never Sets (Part II)
"And such a thing? Drifting across the ocean and returning to where you came? What's the picture?! There is no such way to escape from the famine. Niu Fengchun asked in surprise.
Zhang Zhen said seriously: "Your statement is very wrong, if there is no such person to take risks, how can this potato corn and other things spread to Daming?" With the strength of a few of them, how many tens of millions of people will be benefited? It's hard to leave a name in history! ”
"That's how the potatoes and corn came from? The lesson of the lord is that it is my old cow who is outrageously wrong! After Niu Fengchun suddenly realized, he sincerely admitted his mistake.
Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "There are large tracts of land up there that are more extensive than the Ming Dynasty, and there are many uncivilized ones, not to mention that there is a court." ”
"Think about how much gold and silver there is in the Ming Dynasty, how much land there is, and there are a lot of these places! Even some are more fertile than the Ming Dynasty, some are all kinds of gold and silver mines, we have missed the discovery of the new continent, limited by the sea ship is too small and the power is not enough, the voyage is difficult, this Taixi people have not taken root, we are not far worse than the Taixi people. ”
"What's worse is just to defeat Da Ming and Houjin Li Chuang, that's all!"
Yang Hanlin's spirit suddenly perked up, his eyes glanced at Song Yingxing with deep meaning, and exclaimed: "If we build a hundred-zhang big ship as the lord said, we will no longer be limited by the hull, the vast sea and the wind and waves will be like walking on the ground, and the army will go, and the vast area of land in the world will belong to my China, and the territory of my dynasty will be extremely large!" What can make this happen is really the first contribution of all generations! Lord, Mr. Song, please bow down to Hanlin! ”
Thinking about this much, Yang Hanlin finally understood why the lord valued Song Yingxing so much, and there was no mustard in his heart, and he was happy and convinced to the end.
Zhang Zhen smiled silently, Song Yingxing was a little panicked, the first merit in the world? This name is too big, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Brother Hanlin, you can kill Ying Xing, but you don't deserve such a big gift!" ”
Zhang Zhen said with a smile: "If you can win the name of the Sun Never Setting Empire in the future, Lao Yang's words are really not a killing." ”
Song Yingxing was stunned for a moment, the more he talked, the more he spoke, the lord spoke, and he almost sat down, he didn't dare to answer anymore.
"The sun never sets on the Empire?"
Except for Lao Xia and his family, who heard Zhang Zhen say it once, the others really didn't have this concept, but listening to the name made people think about it, and several people present blurted out at the same time.
Zhang Zhen smiled: "Well, the sun never sets on the empire!" Let me show you, Sizhuang, you hold the candle and squat down! ”
Zhang Zhen held the globe in one hand, and pointed to the candle with the other and explained: "Let's compare this candle to the sun, our earth revolves around the sun, big guy look at this light and shadow, this day is a circle, this is the morning, to the evening, very clear, right?" ”
"The Ming Dynasty is so big, there is sunrise and sunset every day, if you want the sun not to set, there is only one way!"
Fang Yu said ruthlessly: "Seize more land!" As long as the place is illuminated by the sun, there is my land of China! ”
Fang Yu rarely had a long speech, Zhang Zhen smiled: "What the stone said is right! As long as there is a place where the sun illuminates, there is the land of my China, so that my China can be called the empire on which the sun never sets! And all this depends on Mr. Song and the craftsmen to build everything including big ships! Countless generals will be recruited to conquer! We need to train a lot of officials to govern! It is also up to ordinary people to produce all the supplies for the first three! These four are indispensable! I hope that everyone can complement each other, it is a snowball of growing state, and this piece of land will be included in our Chinese territory! Instead of holding each other back and walking the old road of the past dynasties! It is located in this corner of the so-called land of Kyushu. ”
Zhang Zhen kept pointing on the globe as he spoke, and the people present were also fascinated.
This piece of land is even broader than the Ming Dynasty, if it is conquered and subsumed into China, what a great achievement is this?! It's definitely a miracle!
From ancient times to the present, limited by the courage and insight of kings, there is no better time to make achievements than following the lord.
Seeing that everyone was excited, Zhang Zhen was satisfied.
Most of these people follow themselves, most of them are coolies, and the original intention of following them is just to be able to eat enough.
It's simple to let these people eat well, the key is that Zhang Zhen doesn't want to be a landlord and a rich party, he wants to dominate the world, and it is impossible to just feed him.
With the identity of the owner, you may be able to do a decent job, but whether you have the strength of a war, whether you will be attentive, is simply unknown, it is far better to say it like this, depict a grand plan, at the beginning of the rebellion at the most critical moment, the most important thing is the belief in victory, not to mention ambition, even if the ambition is hooked first, but also to mobilize the enthusiasm of everyone.
How can you put another pair of wings on the ducks and let them be reborn and fly on their own? Even among them, there are capable ones, who can fly high in the sky.
When everyone woke up from their longing, Zhang Zhen smiled and said: "The name of the empire does not set this day, and we must first take down the Ming Dynasty in front of us, we have been busy for a day, and we have waited for the Ming army for a day, in terms of war, well, it is impossible to give up this Nanyang, and the rest, what do you think, you might as well talk about it." ”
Zhang Zhen didn't expect these people to come up with trenches, pillboxes, and fortresses, as long as they could know how to find some favorable conditions to defend themselves.
It's not surprisingly useful, as long as you can open up your mind and inspire each other.
To put it simply, it is to let these coolie men have a sense of fighting.
Everyone looked at each other, they were afraid of losing their words and making a fool of themselves in front of the lord, Lao Xia saw this, and said helplessly: "The wooden fence of the hundred households is good, our musket is far away, there is that fence in, take advantage of it, can take the hundred households without hurting one person, the musket is the first merit, and the fence is also indispensable." ”
Zhang Zhen nodded and smiled: "Lao Xia is right, if you can take it without bloodshed, we really took advantage of that fence." ”
After a short silence, Zhang Zhen smiled and said: "Don't dare to say it, I'll talk about the essence of this war, to put it bluntly, it is two aspects, protect yourself and fight the enemy!" ”
"Whether it is to protect one's own side or to strike at the enemy, it is nothing more than to make use of one's strengths and avoid weaknesses, to make use of better weapons and equipment, or favorable terrain, or the skills of soldiers, and to make use of anything that is beneficial to one's own side, and to make use of everything that is advantageous to make the battlefield a place for the enemy's corpse."
After hearing this, Fang Sheng asked intently: "Lord, sometimes the boat is difficult to dock, only a long bamboo pole, and the brothers can carry the sack on it, is this considered a benefit?" ”
Zhang Zhen smiled: "Of course!" If you have this ability, there is a small river ditch, it may be a moat for the enemy, a few years ago out of the river, not for fear of provoking criticism in advance to provoke the Ming Dynasty, a long time ago to dig a trench to protect the village, let's go out to fight, your family is safe, you are at ease, right? After the wheat harvest, it is time to excavate. ”
