Chapter 648: The Abyss of Despair
"Don't say it's the new army of the Ming Dynasty of the Jiajing Dynasty, even if it is completely dependent on the border army, my younger brother also believes that with the strength of the border army, it has enough strength to kill and kill the grassland tribes!
The Chinese nation has never lacked famous generals and brave and combative soldiers, but these are no match for selfishness, so in the eyes of his younger brother, it will never be as difficult as imagined to exterminate or even purge the entire grassland.
The difficulty is how to achieve effective rule after the destruction of the grassland, and how to uproot the gate of Liaodong, and these are political considerations.
The new army led the three armies of the new army, emulating the story of the champion Hou, and routed the Tatar soldiers for thousands of miles, and the new army fought steadily, built cities on the grassland, opened up mutual markets, and encouraged commerce, which is the fundamental solution to the grassland problem.
Allowing the new army stationed in the grassland to change its military defense every few years is a means of destroying the generals.
The Central Plains Dynasty in history killed the grassland tribes into dead dogs, and even the number of times it was difficult to find the royal court was less, but why the grassland would resurgce every twenty or thirty years, this is not fundamentally to solve the problem, and it is also the short-sightedness of the root of the dynasties.
All dynasties and dynasties have believed that the grassland is chicken ribs, so they have never thought that the real effective rule in the past is at best, it is just to let the grassland descend to the king to manage the grassland, which is no different from the original Hami country.
What I can't figure out is that so many generations of emperors haven't calculated an account well? How much money and food will it cost to maintain a long border?
How much money does the state have to spend on the salaries of the border army? If you know how to spend so much money, why can't you find another way?
For example, let several large armies drive into the grassland and divide the grassland into several pieces, the purpose of these large armies to patrol the grassland is only one, that is, to eliminate the large armed tribes of the grassland, as for how the army survives, the grassland people can survive, can the Chinese people not survive?
If you can survive, do you spend more money on the passive defense of the border by the garrison army, or do you spend more money on taking the initiative to attack and wait for defense? ”
Zhu Houzhao didn't say a word, he always felt that his brother's theory was not quite right, and if he really wanted to operate like this, it would definitely not be as easy as he imagined, but he didn't know how to refute his brother's argument, after all, the Jiajing Dynasty was very successful in governing the grassland, at least now there is no trend of rising grassland power at all.
Facts are sometimes the best examples, no matter how fanciful the truth is, as long as the iron facts are thrown out, it is enough to shut up all dissatisfied!
"Another example is the southeast, the small countries in the southeast are all vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, relying on the protection of the Central Plains Dynasty for thousands of years, they can be at peace with each other, if the Ming Dynasty sends troops to recruit their own vassal states, it is a typical unrighteous division, but the southeast has extraordinary political, military and economic interests for the Ming Dynasty, it is like a piece of fat, or eat it in the mouth, after all, it is unwilling."
Zhu Houzhao snorted: "So you played a game of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, and you still want to cover it up."
Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "How do future generations evaluate this history, I can't control my younger brother so much, the only thing my younger brother needs to consider is to seize the territory of the southeast, but the contradictions between ethnic groups and resisting aggressive rule are also issues that need to be considered politically."
After all, the southeast is not the same as the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa State ...... We can slaughter, naturally there is no bullshit national problem, but there is no need for the southeast, so we can only play migration and use blood exchange to complete the effective rule of the southeast.
And those people in the southeast who were migrated to the Western Regions, in fact, after they left their homeland, their only thought was to live, as long as they lived, they would not care who their ruler was, and after dozens or hundreds of years, who would remember that the southeast was originally their hometown. ”
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said: "You talk about military interests and economic interests, but look at the current Ming Dynasty...... The territory of China, the good places in the world are occupied by us, where do the military interests come from, even the economic interests are not so important, after all, they are all Han brothers, and they can't make black money when they make money. ”
Zhu Houwei shook his head and said: "People have selfishness, this point is unshakable in all generations, you and my brothers, the country of overseas fathers and sons, may be nothing in our generation, but if it is more than ten generations, the kinship at that time has long been thin to dispensable, these so-called brotherly countries still have a little bit of brotherhood, who dares to say that they will not start a war at that time."
Even if war doesn't break out, what about the economy? For example, Australia, Australia's country has no reason to give Australia's resources to the Ming Dynasty in vain, Australia's iron stone is much better than the Ming Dynasty's iron stone, and it is extremely rich, they themselves will not use up will be sold, who will they sell to?
For example, the current coal resources of the Wu Dynasty, such as the oil resources in the west, these can be exchanged with the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to cut off the trade between countries, and this is considered an economic benefit. ”
"It seems that I understand a little, but your topic is a bit far, so let's talk to you about Japan's strategy."
Zhu Houwei said solemnly: "The elimination of the Japanese state is just a snap of a finger, and even the benefits obtained are much higher than the wealth consumed by the Ming Dynasty, and it will not shake the Ming Dynasty's own national strength at all, but now the anti-Japanese sentiment of the people in the Ming Dynasty is high, and countless people hate the Japanese because of public opinion."
In this context, if the Japanese state is simply destroyed, then the younger brother's personal letter is not a bit of a fuss, and is it a superfluous move for the younger brother to conquest.
So is there nowhere to vent the emotions of the people who have been mobilized, and now the news that my younger brother needs to attack the city and seize the land again and again is transmitted back to the Ming Dynasty, so that thousands of people believe that this is a just war, and the Great Tomorrow army is going to the Japanese country for the sake of heaven.
In addition, he simply destroyed the Wa Kingdom, and the younger brother was always a little unwilling in his heart, and the younger brother wanted to let the Wa Kingdom go up to the emperor, the daimyo, and down to the people, and feel a little bit of despair.
Let them rise up and resist, let the hope of these beasts be extinguished little by little, and thus fall into the abyss of despair and fear, so that even if they die, they will not be willing to die! ”
Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded......
Killing people and punishing hearts, this is the real killing and punishing hearts.
"And North Korea......"
"What does it have to do with North Korea......" Zhu Houzhao was speechless.
"North Korea is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also respectful to the Ming Dynasty, but my younger brother wants the territory of North Korea, but there is no legitimate excuse, it is difficult to frame him, which is a bit ......."
Zhu Houzhao thought to himself, you Emperor Jiajing have done less in the past ten years, are you not convinced? Look at the southeast first.
"The invincible military might of the Ming Dynasty, my younger brother wants to let North Korea feel the feelings well and intuitively, and find a way to exert some pressure on them, maybe the Korean monarchs and ministers can't stand the pressure and surrender to the land?"
Zhu Houzhao was completely speechless......
