"But are you getting something wrong?"

Zhu Youzhen asked kindly with a smile on his face.

The ministers didn't know why, and looked at each other one by one.

"I'm attacking Jiaozhi, not Annan!"

What?

Cochin, Annam.

Does it make any difference?

When we're stupid!

"Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask, is there any difference between Cochin and Annan?"

"It's a big difference! Jiaozhi is the political envoy established during the Chengzu period of our dynasty, and it is a part of my Ming Dynasty. I sent troops to the Jiaozhi Political Envoy to suppress the rebellion, what does it have to do with him Annan?"

"This!" The imperial history who asked the question was dumbfounded.

It sounds reasonable, but I always feel that something is not right.

Fan Jingwen, who had always known Zhu Youzhen, tried his best to hold back his laughter, he never thought that Zhu Youzhen could come up with such a strange reason.

Your Majesty and the Muddy are improving so fast!

"Your Majesty, but wasn't the Jiaozhi Political Envoy abolished in the third year of Xuande?"

"I know, isn't that my intention to be re-established?"

"But isn't this Jiaozhi now occupied by the Zheng Dynasty?"

"That's right. Now that Hou Li has existed in name only, can't Da Ming take back Jiaozhi?"

"This..."

"Okay, I'm tired, the expedition to Annam is done, you don't need to say more." Zhu Youzhen didn't want to say anything more and stood up. At the end, he looked around at everyone and added in a cold tone.

"If you have something to say in the court, it's okay, but if you continue to chew the root of your tongue after today, I won't show mercy."

After speaking, he strode out of the main hall, leaving behind ministers with different thoughts.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhu Youzhen called several cabinet ministers.

"I know their minds won't change for a while. thinks that for the way of the king, you should pay attention to a benevolent word. Be merciful to your people as well as to your outsiders. In their opinion, the Zheng dynasty came to the capital every year to pay tribute, so why did they still attack them? It is a loss of the system of the Heavenly Empire. Do you think so?" Zhu Youzhen sat behind the imperial eucalyptus and whispered this, looking calm.

"I don't think so! Your Majesty's decision is considered to be wise!" As Zhu Youzhen's well-known undercover agent in the court, Fan Jingwen was the first to sing praise!

Seeing this, several other people also reluctantly agreed.

They knew that it was useless to oppose it, so they simply supported it, not to mention that there was nothing wrong with Daming's multi-piece chassis.

"Alright, stop acting. I know you may not agree with me either. Over the years, I have fought here and there, and I have never been idle, if you want to say something about the loss of people and money, then I will definitely not be angry. But is the Ming Dynasty my Ming Dynasty? No! It is the Ming Dynasty of thousands of people. Their battles will not be fought in vain, their blood will not be shed in vain, and they will benefit their children and grandchildren. The predecessors planted the trees and the later people enjoyed the shade, and we all enjoyed the shade of the trees planted by the predecessors, so why can't we think about expanding the woods?

Some might say that attacking other countries would cause human suffering, displacement of people, and separation of soldiers' wives. I don't see it that way, I don't talk about right and wrong, I only think about interests. As long as it is beneficial to Daming, then do it.

….

The land of Daming is so big, where do we want more resources from? Take Cochin as an example, the climate there is warm, the rice is three crops a year, and the Ming Dynasty has been plagued by natural disasters in recent years, just in need of food. Now that I have soldiers in my hands and excellent firearms, it is easy to take down there, so why not take it and let him benefit the people of the Ming Dynasty?

I feel that it is not enough to take back Taiwan, nor is it enough to take Luzon, nor is it enough to even take the next Jiaozhi. I want to incorporate more places into the territory of the Ming Dynasty! No matter how bad it is, it must be planted with the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

What kind of displacement and family ruin, this is not the scope of my consideration.

I wish to bear the infamy of a lifetime, and let my children and grandchildren enjoy happiness!

I don't care if it's called, sin is in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future!"

Zhu Youzhen's tone became excited.

Perhaps encouraged by Zhu Youzhen's words, several cabinet ministers standing opposite Zhu Youzhen also became excited.

Sin is in the present generation, and merit is in the future!

Yes, in these small countries around them, they all have small courtesies but no great righteousness, and they have always been mothers with milk, and they scold their mothers when they put down the bowl. Take that country as an example, it is a typical dog that cannot be fed.

There is nothing wrong with destroying these countries, destroying their culture and cutting off their heritage. After two or three generations, he was basically assimilated by the Ming Dynasty.

Haven't you seen how happy the North Korean people were when they heard that they could learn to speak Chinese? Back then, he could speak Chinese, which was the exclusive property of nobles.

Unconsciously, these elders who had received Confucian orthodox education had gone astray one by one.

Having said that, it is purely normal to stay around people like Zhu Youzhen all day long to be brainwashed and deviate from his thoughts.

However, it also brought real benefits to the Ming Dynasty, and the boatload of rice shipped back from Luzon after the year was not all ironclad evidence? At that time, Bi Ziyan was full of emotion in his heart, with these places that are three crops a year as the supply of the Ming Dynasty, what natural disasters can't survive? Think about it, how many people can be saved by a boatload of food?

"Your Majesty!"

The conversation ended with the convincing hearts of several people.

Zhu Youzhen's words were also seen from the Internet in his previous life.

It is about whether aggressive development is right or wrong.

It was a big shock to him at the time. Yes, aggression is wrong, but why are those countries that have invaded China still doing so well? Isn't it the long period of plunder that has brought them rich rewards? To put it bluntly, isn't it also the shade of the trees planted by our predecessors?

In this case, why not do such a thing when you come to this era and have this ability?

The controversy in the court can be regarded as an unsatisfactory end to this matter, and even in private, only someone tacitly said two sentences in a small area.

At the same time, on the endless sea, there is a fleet of ships, crackling the waves, sailing fast.

There were not many ships in this fleet, only seventeen.

In front was the invincible First Fleet in Luzon, and on the deck of the Suncheon, stood the Commander.

That's right, Xie Xuelong is on a mission again.

The mission was to escort 10,000 soldiers of the Beijing Battalion to Jiaozhi safely and ensure their smooth landing.

If it doesn't go well, find a way to go well.

"Overseer, it's not far ahead of Shamaqitou, we have to stop there and resupply by the way." Lu Shiyun, the captain of the Suncheon, put down the binoculars and rushed to Xuelong to report.

Xie Xuelong nodded.

"When I set off, Your Majesty said that Zheng Zhilong was still in Taiwan, and I didn't know if he was still there at this time."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty said he was there, then he must be there."

"Haha. Otherwise, Your Majesty would have ordered me to go to Luzon to find him."

Xie Xuelong said with a smile.

"Tell the ships to get ready to dock."
