The breeze blows lightly on the sea, the white sails flutter in the wind, and flocks of seagulls fly mischievously on the bow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhu Gaochi was not low in interest, his fat body was clinging to the fence, and the flocks of seagulls with his fingers were white and said: "Look at this little bird, you can soar above the wide sea, and when you are hungry, you can catch fish and eat, how comfortable!" ”

Huang Fu and Zhu Neng nodded frequently in agreement, but Tang Ming pouted and said, "The emperor only sees their freedom, but he doesn't know everything they have to pay to survive. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and they must face the threat of being caught while fishing. ”

As soon as Tang Ming's words fell, there was a seagull in front of everyone's eyes, smashed into the sea, and after a while, only some scattered feathers surfaced.

Zhu Gaochi showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he quickly hid it, and said with a smile: "This is really good!" ”

100,000 troops, 5,000 treasure ships, 2,000 warships, plus 1,000 special ships for hot air balloons and spaceships.

This is the whole of Tang Ming's expedition this time, such a huge fleet sailing on the sea, it is undoubtedly an invincible existence.

The combination of the sea power of the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Ming Dynasty for the first time, and the absolute military power displayed was deeply shocked, and all the small countries in the Asian seas.

It can be said that the sea power displayed this time is far more deterrent than Zhu Di's previous hurried military parade.

Wherever the fleet passed, no country dared to come forward to stop it, and some of the ships in charge of patrolling only dared to watch from a distance, and did not even dare to approach for routine questioning.

Zhu Neng looked proud, chuckled and sighed: "Unconsciously, I didn't expect that our Ming Dynasty is now so powerful, and we can still witness such a scene in our lifetime, and the old man will die without regrets." ”

Tang Ming seemed unwilling to let go of the opportunity to attack the old man, and said with a smile: "The old general seems to be premature, although the current Da Ming is strong enough compared to before. But this is only one side of the focus, and the real strength should be all-round development. ”

"Oh, does the prince think that there are any shortcomings in the Ming Dynasty today?" Huang Fu's old face darkened slightly, obviously disagreeing with Tang Ming's words, and even more dissatisfied with his behavior that had been ruining today.

Although Zhu Gaochi didn't speak, his face was already very revealing, and he was also like Huang Fu, he was very puzzled by Tang Ming's abnormality today.

After early this morning, it was a good day, facing the vast sea, I expressed my feelings in my chest with an open heart, but I was always disturbed by Tang Ming. Zhu Gaochi was very suspicious of this guy, he was dissatisfied because he brought these tails with them, and what he did at this moment was probably deliberately revenge.

Tang Ming is taking revenge here, saying that he has not yet reached the point of being so cautious, sometimes people are like this, they can't listen to bad words, to be honest, no one believes in lies, but people believe it completely.

This is the inferior nature of people, Tang Ming can't help it, he himself sometimes likes to listen to lies and doesn't like to listen to the truth. Do not do to others what you do not do to yourself, everyone is the same, and no one can laugh at anyone.

Sighing lightly, Tang Ming put his hand on the pergola, looked into the distance and said: "Today's Ming Dynasty can be called king and hegemon on the sea, but when it comes to the vast grassland in the north, it is not the same!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was as if they had lifted everyone's scars. Everyone's faces changed slightly, especially Zhu Neng, the old general, who knew and felt it the most.

Although the north is still relatively stable, this is only temporary, and since ancient times, there has been friction between the agrarian society and the nomadic people, two completely different social systems.

The battle was not less, and it is said that not long ago, Zhu Di personally led troops to fight against Tatar twice, and even moved the capital to Beiping to resist the invasion of Tatar nomads.

But this is only when the Ming Dynasty is strong, it can ensure temporary stability, once the Ming Dynasty internal instability factors, the war in the north will follow.

If you want to send a large army to completely conquer that vast land, it is too difficult for a nation with an agrarian social system like the Ming Dynasty.

It is so difficult that it is almost impossible to do, the nomads are good at riding and shooting, the army of the Ming is good at defense, and only mobility is an important factor in determining victory or defeat in the grasslands of a flat river.

The Ming army, which had lost its natural danger, lost its greatest advantage in the vast prairie. None of the time and place can be occupied, and it is obviously not easy to win the victory over the migrating grassland athletes in this situation.

Since ancient times, the armies that have gone out to the grassland have rarely been able to win big victories, and usually the victories are mostly temporary, and they are such a small victory after paying a heavy price.

Zhu Neng's face showed embarrassment, the fearless good mood just now was long gone, and Huang Fu was also embarrassed. Now all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are interested in avoiding this topic, but they didn't expect Tang Ming to directly uncover this hidden scar at this moment.

Zhu Gaochi's expression at the moment was very different from everyone else, with a strange light in his eyes, he stared at Tang Ming with a smile for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Does the prince already have a solution to the problem of Tartary in his heart, will he use the topic to play?" ”

Tang Ming has never been messing around for no reason, Zhu Gaochi is convinced of this, so he thinks that Tang Ming should also have a solution this time before he brings up such a thing.

But this time, Zhu Gaochi was destined to be disappointed, because Tang Ming didn't think about solving it at all, he shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "No, I just remind everyone to be prepared for danger in times of peace." The power of the sea is enough to ensure the safety of our Ming Dynasty, and we should not put too much thought into this. Escaping is not the best way to solve the problem, since you have found the problem, you should face the problem head-on and then put effort into solving it. ”

After Tang Ming dropped his words, he didn't care about the three of them who were stunned, turned around and went back to the cabin. The fleet was on the verge of entering the open sea, and he didn't have time to ink with these idle men.

On the other side of the bow of the boat, Zhu Gaoxi stood alone, watching Tang Ming's conversation with cold eyes, and with the breeze, he heard all the words just now clearly.

Zhu Gaoxi is a person who has personally participated in the Northern Expedition, and he has personally experienced it, and he is the person who has the most right to speak at this moment. But at this moment, his expression seemed to agree with what Tang Ming had just said, Tatar has always been the biggest potential threat in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and if he didn't find a way to solve it, this was a bomb that would explode at any time.
