Why Matteo Ricci asked to see Xiao Ruxun, why was he so persevering, Xiao Ruxun was clear, and it was precisely because of this that Xiao Ruxun did not see him.

He wants to make Christianity spread widely in China, and this is what Xiao Ruxun will never allow in any case, Matteo Ricci essentially wants to use Xiao Ruxun, but over the years, Matteo Ricci has gradually blurred his original intention, but in Xiao Ruxun's place, Xiao Ruxun has never forgotten for a second that he is using Matteo Ricci.

Sooner or later, there will be irreconcilable contradictions between him and Matteo Ricci, and this contradiction is not at this time.

He wants to go to war with Spain not for Christianity, but for spices, which is completely different from Matteo Ricci's reason that Xiao Ruxun does not accept Christianity at all, but at this time, Xiao Ruxun needs to beat Matteo Ricci and make him not forget that permission is just a matter of his own words.

Matteo Ricci still has use value, Christianity also has use value, and now is not the time to tear his face, so Xiao Ruxun asked the kitchen to bring Matteo Ricci a lunch, making him think that he was just too angry, and he was not really disappointed and distrustful of Christianity.

Give him a little hope so that he can keep going.

I don't know when Xiao Ruxun started to play political tactics more and more skillfully, not only playing mutual checks and balances and mutual supervision in administration, but also shaping the Myanmar model, which is currently running very smoothly, and in the army, Xiao Ruxun also has his own model.

After the establishment of the Burmese army, Xiao Ruxun deliberately divided the officers who held military power into three factions, which were well distinguished from each other.

One faction is its own old team, the old subordinates who have followed Xiao Ruxun since Pingyu City, and even a few people are Xiao's hometown generals, such as Zhao Hu and Chen Xie, this faction is the old team that followed Xiao Ruxun to fight in the south and the north, with great military achievements, many achievements, and deep qualifications, and won Xiao Ruxun's trust, so most of them are senior officers, and they are the Pinglu faction, with the smallest number.

One faction is Xiao Ruxun who joined his forces on the way to conquer Bibai, and followed him to fight Ningxia City, North Korea, and Mangyingli.

The remaining faction is a small number of southerners who volunteered to join Xiao Ruxun's army after the Burma War and a large number of newly recruited officers from displaced people, these people are all in the Burma town after the town of many sea bandit battles stand out, relying on most of the sea exploits, so it is called the Shanghai faction, most of them are middle and low-level officers, is the young Zhuang faction in the army, the largest number.

These three factions are very well distinguished in the military, they are easy to distinguish by the accent they speak, and they also have many scruples about each other, plus there is also a police faction with a police force of 5,000 police forces independent of the army, and the military forces in Myanmar maintain a delicate balance with each other.

The Pinglu faction has the highest status, but the smallest number of people, although they are all high-ranking officers, but they are not the ones who command the army directly in charge of the army, the northwest faction is the backbone, with the children of the Ma family as the core, most of them are middle and high-ranking officers, although they are the deputy generals of some Pinglu faction bigwigs, but they can directly contact the army.

As for the formation of the last Shanghai faction, their status is the lowest, but the number is the largest, basically the grassroots officers are composed of the Shanghai faction, standing out in the sea bandit campaign, and also have an excellent performance in the land bandit suppression campaign, directly controlling the bottom soldiers, the individual is not prominent, the overall is strong, and over time, it is enough to compete with the other two factions.

In this way, the core leadership of the army is in the hands of Xiao Ruxun, only Xiao Ruxun has enough prestige and power to command everyone in this army, his soul is the soul of this army, he is the Marquis of Zhennan, this army is the Zhennan Army, and the Zhennan Army guards the southern border waters for the Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, if the army is not allowed to have a mountain, the ruler is really not at ease, for fear that the prestige of which faction and which person is too high, and the merit is high.

This is very terrible, the army is a simple violent machine, advocating the strong, whoever is the strongest they worship whoever follows, even after the suppression of the Song and Ming dynasties, the army is still the army, or advocating the strong for respect.

This is terrible, if there is a super-strong person who is unanimously convinced by the army, isn't this guy sure to be the emperor?

In fact, the Ming Dynasty is such a model, Zhu Yuanzhang set up a military model such as the world soldier system of honorable and noble soldiers, and one of the basic needs required is that the emperor needs to have prestige in the army, be able to command the army, and can lead the troops to attack the imperial conquest.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself will not say it, Zhu Di is also an emperor immediately, robbed Zhu Yunwen's world, Renzong Zhu Gaochi followed Zhu Di to fight the world, and is naturally no stranger to military affairs, Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji is deeply loved by Zhu Di, and has followed Zhu Di to attack Mongolia several times.

So far, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty can lead troops to fight, and the bad thing is on Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, if you want to say courage, he also has it, the royal driver personally recruited his grandfather and his father have done it, he has no reason not to do it, but the level is too stinky, obviously Zhu Zhanji has not taught his son how to lead troops to fight.

But at the very least, Zhu Qizhen knew the importance of the emperor's personal expedition in the military system of the Ming Dynasty.

After the civil fort, everyone knows, so let's not talk about it, except for Zhu Houzhao, who forcibly broke through the civil obstruction and led the troops to go out and was hacked half-dead, the other Ming Dynasty emperors did not drive the imperial expedition in person, to be precise, the civilian officials no longer allowed the emperor to directly contact the army, and even the Imperial Forest Army was not given.

Xiao Ruxun is well aware of the drawbacks of the military system of the Ming Dynasty, but even the modern military system has not been able to eliminate the phenomenon of army hills, or this is simply not necessary to be eliminated.

The ruler does not need a highly united and strong army, such an army is very terrible, it can be outward in wartime, and it can fight in the nest behind closed doors in peacetime, which is the army that the ruler expects the most.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun not only did not stop the development of the army, but even contributed to it, even if it was Zhao Hu, Chen Xie, Wang Hui, these old people, he could not allow them to fully control the real power of the army, this power must be in his own hands, and the people below him need him, the highest power to hold the right to arbitrate.

The Zhennan Army will not only have such a scale, Xiao Ruxun is training the 30,000 army as 30,000 officers, taking the path of the German Wehrmacht after World War I, and cultivating the 30,000 army to the extreme.

When it was time to expand the army, these soldiers could immediately become qualified captains and centurions, and an army several times their size would be pulled up.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun needs war, and needs constant war to hone the will and combat effectiveness of the army, so that the struggle between the three factions can form a kind of healthy competition, rather than a vicious competition model of "I don't save each other if I see death", and at that point, the country will be finished. 10
