Chapter 592: Moral Decay
"I have long said that the Ming Dynasty does not need vassals!"
Zhu Houwei's gaze swept over the ministers like a blade: "Huaxia is strong, the vassals are flocking here, is it true or false to the Ming Dynasty, is it fear or disobedience, once Huaxia declines, have these vassal states ever thought about the urgency of the suzerain?" I'm afraid it's not bad if you don't fall into the ground......
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people withered and the people's livelihood was tired, what was needed most? It is with the people's livelihood, is to restore production, reorganize the order, the surrounding countries know that the Chinese Dynasty is strong, so it is attached, its original intention is to seek refuge, and the Ming acceptance is to highlight the virtue of the heavenly kingdom, in order to declare the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, and also for the frontier to be quiet, do not use the sword!
But in reality? Annam is obedient on the surface, but there are occasional disturbances, and the small state of the Japanese will eventually become a disaster in the near sea, and North Korea is respectful, but it is extremely slanderous to the Ming Dynasty in the history books!
The emperors of the past dynasties, for the sake of the face of the Ming Dynasty, turned a blind eye to the disrespectful behavior of the vassal states, but how could I be such a foolish king!
The five kingdoms of Tianzhu are constantly fighting, and the land of India seems to have become a ruin, but even if the foreign countries have become wars, what does purgatory have to do with me!
However, the An family, the Yang family and the Song family were originally the Tusi of the southern territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, returned to the Wanghua, and I collected their land and changed it to Liu, whether the Tusi were afraid of the Ming Dynasty or were tempted by the founding of the country, in short, they migrated to Tianzhu according to my will, and with the help of the Ming Army, they established the country.
In a sense, although the three kingdoms of An, Yang, and Song were not vassals of the Ming Dynasty, they should also be blessed by the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country, as for the Crusader State......
The source of the Crusader is the barbarians from overseas, infiltrating the southeast, destroying the Ming Dynasty and several countries, it can be said that its behavior is a resounding slap in the face of the Ming Dynasty, when the crusaders ravaged the southeast, it was at the time of the Ming Dynasty's dismantling of the world's guards, and the stalls of military affairs in various places, at that time, the Ming army was insufficient, and the recruits had not been trained, how could they go to the battlefield!
By the time Yunnan, Guizhou and Liangguang were fully armed, and the Ming Dynasty had the spare strength to go deep into the southeast to exterminate the thieves in the Kou realm, the southeastern countries were already in misery and had become purgatory on earth......
I have the intention to drive away the thieves to support the royal families of various countries and restore the rule of all countries, but unfortunately, the southeast is tragic, and the royal families of all countries are wiped out by the thieves, so I have no choice but to set up a government and state in the southeast, transport the people in the interior, and reclaim the land and expand the industry, which is now a fruitful ......."
Zhu Houwei said in detail without hurry, the ministers of the full court almost vomited, cross thieves?
The culprit who has plagued the southeast and destroyed the royal families of various countries is not you, Emperor Jiajing, who claims to be the emperor, it is simply shameless and morally degenerate!
Zhu Houwei will not care about the slander of the ministers, even if everyone in the world thinks that the crusade is the southeast he got, it is he Zhu Houwei covets the southeast land, so what can he do with this hand?
What about the evidence? Dare to orchestrate him without evidence? Then you have to see if your neck is hard or the emperor's knife is hard!
What's more, in today's era when the national concept has not been completely awakened and formed, it doesn't matter whether it is the people of the Ming Dynasty or the people of the southeastern countries, as long as the ruler can make them have enough food and clothing, who will care about anything else!
What really cares is always a very small number of privileged classes, but unfortunately these powerful people have long been slaughtered by the Crusaders!
When the people of the southeast feel that being the people of the Ming Dynasty are far happier than being the people of a small country, who dares to say that they are not the people of the Ming Dynasty, and who is in a hurry!
If you really want to be so serious, when the Son of Zhou Tianzi divided the countries, how big was the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and how big is the current Ming Dynasty?
National integration itself is the inevitable trend of the process of the times, and after the last few hundred years, when the world enters a civilized society, then the southeast is China is the eternal and inseparable territory of the Ming Dynasty, and anyone who tries to split the southeast is the mortal enemy of the Chinese nation, as for what Annam, Siam, Burma...... Who the hell remembers......
"Now the center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty strategy is overseas, not at their own doorstep, since the crusaders have fled, I do not intend to waste the people and money, and chase after them to fight a war with little interest, if such a small country is disrespectful, the Ming Heavenly Soldiers can go on an expedition at any time and destroy it!
The original purpose of the five kingdoms of Tianzhu was to seek refuge and mediate disputes, although I did not intend to accept the five kingdoms, but as a superior state of the Celestial Empire, the neighbors had this request, if I did not agree, it would seem to be a great country and not enough elegance, so let's ......
Tell the envoys of the five countries that since the countries have signed an alliance and demarcated their territories, then they should abide by it, of course, if they have to witness it to the Ming Dynasty, then whether they obey it or not has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, but now that the Ming Dynasty has arbitrated, I have also agreed, so if I do not abide by the covenant, I will not give the Ming face and not give me face!
I can treat my friends with good wine and food, but for those city-states who are respectful on the surface, but in fact want to use Daming to do snake and mouse things, I should raise troops to ask for them!
But the times are changing, I can restrain for a while but I don't want to restrain a lifetime, so let's give the Five Kingdoms thirty years, during these thirty years, the Five Kingdoms will recuperate, and whoever moves troops to conquer other countries will declare war on the Ming Dynasty!
Thirty years later, if anyone thinks that they are strong and strong, and have the ambition and strength to annex other countries, then they will fight, and I will not stop them, but if the country is defeated, the Ming Dynasty can provide political asylum, I say so, you Aiqing can understand......"
"Your Majesty Shengming ......"
At the end of the court meeting, Wang Shouren did not leave the palace, and after getting the emperor's approval, he went to the imperial study.
"Wang Aiqing wants to meet Yu Zhen, but there is something important." Zhu Houwei sighed, he knew that Wang Shouren was here, most likely because he wanted to resign, and he also knew that it was indeed time for this famous minister who had achieved the three immortals to take a curtain call......
"The minister is seriously ill, and he is already powerless to take care of political affairs, so the minister implores Zhishi, and I hope that His Majesty will grant permission......"
Zhu Houwei looked at Wang Shouren, who had a clear face, as if he was already terminally ill, and said: "Yang Aiqing has only been a minister for two years, and before leaving, Wang Aiqing was recommended as the head of the court, and I originally planned to create another good story with Wang Aiqing like Yang Qing, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes......"
Wang Shouren wept and said: "The minister took over the position of Yang Taifu, and he was also ambitious, wanting to follow His Majesty and witness the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty......
"At the beginning, Yang Aiqing recommended Wang Aiqing, and now Wang Aiqing is also leaving, I don't know if there is an option to replace Aiqing's first minister."
Wang Shouren said: "Thunder, rain and dew, are all the grace of the king, the appointment of important ministers is the important weapon of the king to control the country, the responsibility of the first minister is more and more Taishan, and the minister does not dare to say ......"
