Chapter 38: Under the Argument

After they divide the victory and defeat, they will issue a crusade against each other, count the sins of fratricidal brothers, and lead the army to the Northern Expedition, if the King of Burma wins and Wang Mangbai is executed, then the remnants of Wang Mangbai's cronies will be panicked, afraid that the Burmese King Zhulian will support Zhu Jun's Northern Expedition. If Wang Mangbai's plot succeeds, then the Qingliu loyal ministers in Burma will also throw themselves to Zhu Jun's side, hoping that Zhu Jun can eliminate the rebellion and clean up the country.

Let's fight, let's fight, the more fierce your Burmese clan fights, the more ferocious the better, I, Zhu Jun, am at ease to be a fisherman, just wait for you to fight to the death and then come to eat it all, Zhu Jun thought evilly.

Zhou Mubai continued to add fuel and vinegar and said: "Once the emperor occupies Burma, he can not only allocate military salaries and grain to Li Dingguo's department in northern Myanmar, but also continue to accumulate strength. General Li Dingguo's bravery and resourcefulness were unparalleled, and he used 10,000 people to block the 100,000-strong army of the traitor Wu Sangui for a year, but he still did not show any signs of defeat. The emperor took advantage of this opportunity to attack from afar in southern Burma and gradually annex the Nanyang countries. Ten years later, the emperor according to the country of ten thousand times to destroy the country of ten thousand times, although he is not victorious, he can still defend the South Seas, continue the pulse for my Ming Dynasty, and leave a place for the Han people in the world. ”

After Zhou Mubai finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and bowed, and said loudly: "The minister's policy of recovering the country is divided into three, one is to plunder and accumulate strength. The second is a stronghold, which obtains thousands of miles of fertile land in Myanmar. The third is vertical and horizontal, occupying the South Seas, and competing with the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In this way, the day of the revival of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner! ”

"Good plan!" Zhu Jun couldn't help but admire, thinking that Zhuge Liang's Longzhong was probably nothing more than that, but Zhuge Liang proposed three points in the world, Zhou Mubai proposed two heroes standing side by side, Zhuge Liang proposed the royal road, and Zhou Mubai said the domineering of the heroes.

Zhu Jun knows that once he embarks on this road, the entire Nanyang will fall into a bloody situation, and his front is not a smooth road, a slight mistake, he will face a catastrophe, whether it is the king of Burma, Wang Mangbai, or the countries of Nanyang, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this is a life-and-death struggle, a war without defeat, the loser will completely disappear in this world, together with his family, his subordinates, his old age, like a drop of water thrown into the ocean, disappear forever, There was no sound left.

"Even if the emperor can hide from Jiannu for a while, does he have to hide for the rest of his life? Trapped and waiting to be killed is just a coward's doing, for today's plan, only the sea boat, against the wind, there is no way to retreat, please make a quick decision. Zhou Mubai's eyes flashed, and a frenzy radiated from his eyes, and he also said that Zhu Jun was scared, so he fanned the flames on the side and said: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!" The kings of the past dynasties have been absurd and unreasonable, there are those who seek immortals in alchemy, and there are those who worship treacherous and rebellious, but there have never been cowardly people, and the grass people think that as long as the children of the Zhu family have a breath left, they should take the world as their responsibility, restore the country, and save thousands of subjects from fire and water. This is some shallow insight of the grass people, and I hope that the emperor will judge. ”

"What a good one who does not get along, does not pay compensation, does not cede land, does not pay tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!" Zhu Jun muttered a sentence, half-squinting, but he looked surprisingly calm.

Anyone has a motive when they do something, some for money, some for power, some for righteousness, and some for faith, but what is Zhou Mubai for? Zhu Jun didn't believe that this guy came for the so-called righteousness or for the favor of Qianming, his talent Zhu Jun appreciated very much, but this kind of person was even more dangerous, and Zhu Jun had to guard against it.

Zhu Jun likes to use people as guns, it doesn't mean that he is willing to be used as guns, Zhu Jun's feeling now is that he may be used as a good shotgun by Zhou Mubai.

"Mr. Zhou is really clever and eloquent, I just don't understand something, and I ask Mr. Zhou for advice." Zhu Jun said slowly: "Sir, can you predict what are the chances of winning if you follow me?" And how dangerous is it? ”

"Three points of victory, seven percent of the danger."

Zhu Jun smiled and said, "That is the danger of being killed seventy percent?" I asked the gentleman again, in that case, why did the gentleman take the risk? ”

Zhou Mubai understood what Zhu Jun meant, and said with a dry laugh: "The emperor doesn't believe in the grass people, this is a matter of course, the grass people were originally from Yunnan, Chongzhen thirteen years of Xiucai, because he has no intention of learning, but loves to make some strange discussions, has been intolerable by the villagers, really helpless, I had to go away to Myanmar, thanks to the king of Burma did not give up, gave me a small official position, it happened that the emperor entered Myanmar again, the grass people became the Han people, the grass people did not dare to deceive the emperor, when the Han people were in charge, The grass people had a slight resentment against the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and looked down on the courtiers on the emperor's side, so they treated the emperor slowly. ”

Zhou Mubai said eloquently, as if telling a story, he told his life experience one by one: "It's just that although the grass people have some livelihood in the Burmese capital, they have a premonition that the Burmese country will undergo great changes in the near future, and the prince of Myanmar Wang Mangbai has long had a bad heart, and the victory is quite big, and the grass people are promoted by the king of Burma, if they still stay in the Burmese capital, they will inevitably be regarded as a thorn in the side of the narrow-minded Wang Mangbai, and he will definitely suffer from the fish pond after he successfully usurps the throne." In order to survive, the grass people had the plan to quickly gather some money and escape from Myanmar, and at this time, I happened to hear that the emperor had gathered pirates in southern Myanmar and gathered warships, and I thought that the grass people were Han after all, and they were once the talents of Daming Enke, how could they not serve the country and go to a foreign country? Therefore, the grass people conscientiously collected the emperor's movements in southern Myanmar, and finally made up their minds to vote. I also hope that the emperor will ignore the past suspicions, and the grass people will live up to the grace of God. ”

The reason for avoiding disaster is very good, at least Zhu Jun has believed half of it, the situation in Myanmar is really complicated, although Zhou Mubai is a figure outside the decision-making circle, it is inevitable that he will be affected, but the other half Zhu Jun does not believe it, it is very simple, this person is too smart, the so-called service for the country is just a disguise.

What is the real purpose? Zhu Jun had already guessed a few points in his heart. He calmly poured himself the tea on the table, and then said leisurely: "Why does Mr. say so many nonsense, I see that Mr. wants to learn from Qin Lu Buwei to hoard goods, right?" ”

Lü Buwei saw in Handan, the capital of Zhao, that the grandson of the king of Qin (later renamed Zi Chu), who was in favor of Zhao, thought that strange goods were habitable, so he gave him a lot of financial support, and persuaded the prince of Qin, An Guojun, to favor Mrs. Ji Huayang and set up his son Chu as his heir. Later sons Chu and Lü Buwei fled to Qin. An Guojun succeeded him as the king of Xiaowen, and his son Chu became the crown prince. In the following year, Zichu ascended the throne (that is, King Zhuangxiang), appointed Lü Buwei as prime minister, named Wenxin Marquis, and ate 100,000 households in Luoyang, Henan. In this era, Lü Buwei is not only a symbol of wisdom, but also a spokesman for great disrespect, taking the emperor to trade, people with a little head know that they are impatient to live, although Zhu Jun is a king of the dead country, but it is not something that Zhou Mubai can provoke.

"The grass people will die, and they will never dare to have such a rebellious thought. The grass people only love gold, silver and wine, and they have no desire to fight for power and profit. Zhou Mubai bowed down in a hurry, but there was no trace of panic on his face, but he looked directly at Zhu Jun, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Flatten, I won't be a son, and you can't be Lu Buwei, I appreciate your talent very much, if it succeeds one day, I will reward you with tens of millions of gold and silver, how about you be a rich man with peace of mind?" Zhu Jun's face softened a little, it is not terrible for the courtiers to ask for money, if he can really restore the country, he will give as much as he wants, Zhu Jun pondered for a moment, turned his back to Zhou Mubai and said: "I am determined to restore the country, and implement your strategy, from today onwards, I will make you a scholar of Wuyingdian University and enter the cabinet to participate in politics." Are you satisfied? ”

"The grass people thank the emperor." Zhou Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, although many things were beyond his expectations, and Zhu Jun's means were much higher than he imagined, but at least the goal was achieved.
