Chapter 120: The Tiger Son

In fact, in the end, it all boils down to two words: "courage." ”

Many things are so complex that it is difficult to make an accurate judgment in advance.

You don't know until you do it.

Victory or defeat is even in the blink of an eye.

It's just that He Xi never did such a thing before. He subconsciously took a relatively stable path, and with the support of Zhu Yuanzhang, He Xi brought knowledge from modern times, so that He Xi had enough capital to take this steady route.

Therefore, in the face of this matter, He Xi subconsciously objected.

It's just that He Xi suddenly thought, can he really wait until all the preparations are in place in the future to do it? Do you have to be sure to do it?

No, it's impossible.

What the future looks like. He Xi didn't know that the history he knew had changed significantly. Now he only relies on the knowledge of the future and Zhu Yuanzhang's favor. But these are not forever.

Nothing stays the same forever.

Faced with many problems, is there really no way to solve them?

He just lacked the courage to make up his mind. The courage to take risks, or the courage to go to the casino.

He Xi smiled bitterly in his heart: "I'm already in the casino." ”

The power game at the top is more dangerous than the casino. Zhu Yuanzhang only has a lifespan of more than ten years. But He Xi didn't want to die in more than ten years.

He Xi took a deep breath. Looking at these materials again, the thinking and perspective are completely different, if you are just looking for a problem. So what we want to do now is to solve these problems. These can happen, they are about to happen. Problems that may occur.

Don't ask for a foolproof solution. But always in one direction.

Nothing was said all night.

------

On the second day, when He Xi and Lu Zhongheng met again.

He Xi's eyes were bloodshot, obviously he hadn't slept all night. But Lu Zhongheng was also full of fatigue, obviously he hadn't slept all night, and even Lu Zhongheng's exhaustion was deeper than He Xi, because He Xi was a young man after all. Good health. Able to resist things. But Lu Zhongheng started with Zhu Yuanzhang, although he is a few years younger than Zhu Yuanzhang, he is also over half a hundred years old, and this kind of deep thinking all night is a little unbearable.

The two faced each other, and neither spoke first.

After a while, Lu Zhongheng said: "Forget this matter." We'll give the West King some weapons, cannons, or something. Just get involved. ”

He Xi was taken aback, he never expected that in one night, Lu Zhongheng had a 180-degree turn.

didn't know that this was the result of Lu Zhongheng's repeated thinking overnight.

If He Xi was repeatedly questioning his courage yesterday, then Lu Zhongheng weighed it overnight, all in the two words pros and cons.

Yesterday, Lu Zhongheng was sentenced to Java by World War I, opening a twenty-year period of stable development for Nanyang, that is, the time of a generation. Twenty years later, Lu Zhongheng estimated that the Ming Dynasty's strong men in Nanyang were at least 300,000.

First of all, there were about 100,000 Han people in Nanyang. Lu Zhongheng brought tens of thousands of strong men, plus the settlement of the old port. And there is no shortage of grain in Nanyang, and the land in Nanyang has problems of one kind or another.

For example, excessive rain. The soil is washed out for a long time. Can't save nutrients. Somewhat barren. But the warm climate of the South Seas, the right amount of rain. There are even forty days, and by forty-five days, the rice can be ripe. In such a place, as long as there is security. It is impossible for the Han Chinese to starve to death.

And there is no shortage of women in Nanyang.

Although the women of the South Seas are darker and shorter than the women of the Central Plains, and they do not abide by women's morals. Because many Nanyang ethnic groups do not have the concept of chastity. There are even various ways to play, which are repeated here one by one. Because I am afraid of being blocked. If you are interested, you can check it out.

But the real people at the bottom don't care.

Just give birth to a baby. As long as it's your own seed.

In 20 years, it is natural that more than 100,000 men have evolved into 6 or 700,000 men.

To put it mildly, it is too high to calculate the climate impact of the South Seas and the infant mortality rate. With so many people, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang is almost unshakable. This is still the case when the Ming Dynasty no longer increases its strength in the South Seas.

It's just that Lu Zhongheng thought about it repeatedly, and suddenly remembered the idiom of painting snakes and adding feet.

Lu Zhongheng felt that his fame in this life was almost over, maybe he would make some more merits during his lifetime, be crowned a prince of the country, or give a prince of the county after his death. But has anything changed about his actual power? Naturally, there is none.

Lu Zhongheng knows very well that he is not that material, not a character on the central stage. He really reluctantly went up, and he also harmed others and himself.

And this one thing, done well. A credit of course. There are many benefits to Daming. Not much good for himself. When he looked at the king of the west, he knew that the king of the west could bend and stretch, and he was a character. Such a character can be easily taken down by King Wulu, joke.

And this matter will end because King Wulu takes down the King of the West?

Unlikely.

And King Wulu ascended the throne at the age of sixteen and reigned for more than 30 years, which is older than Zhu Yuanzhang. And people here in the tropics generally have a short life expectancy, and I don't know if it's because of medical reasons. There is even a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that there is a lot of heat all year round, and the sun is too much, which will reduce life expectancy.

Whether it's true or not, I don't know. But the reality is that there are almost no old people in the South Seas. Although the Central Plains has been in turmoil, there are also a number of elderly people over the age of 60 in various places. But it's hard to find in the South Seas.

He counted on his fingers, and King Wulu was limited to less than ten years. Even ten years is a long time.

In this case, is King Wulu willing to make a feud with the Ming Dynasty?

Jin has a lot of credit, but it is useless to give him credit. But what is the situation of defeat?

First of all, the merit of operating Nanyang is inside. It's nothing. After all, Lu Zhongheng has old qualifications and a lot of credit, don't say defeat this time, or defeat two or three more times. As long as it is not completely annihilated. He just went back to give up.

The important people are: Not the army of the South Seas. It's the one who leads this army.

He has calculated that there are 5,000 people, and it is already very good to be able to draw 5,000 people. All the 5,000 men were lost, and it was only a guard house. Nothing. But for such a big thing, it is impossible for the people below to be responsible.

There are only two people who can be responsible for this matter, one is He Xi and the other is him.

Lu Zhongheng has really been on the battlefield. I also know how unpredictable the battlefield is. The older the so-called rivers and lakes, the less courage they have. He was impulsive at first, but now he thinks about it. I just don't think it's worth it.

Yes, it's not whether it can be done or not. It's not worth it. If this is between life and death, Lu Zhongheng will naturally try his best to do this thing well. Now that Lu Zhongheng is so greedy for money, it can be seen that the ability to lead the troops back then is still there, but the spirit of being desperate is no longer there.

If he doesn't go, let He Xi go.

First of all, he was not worried about He Xi.

After all, He Xi has never led soldiers to fight, this kind of thing is done by He Xi, an inexperienced person, how can he rest assured.

Secondly, if something happens to He Xi. Lu Zhongheng can't afford it.

Yes. Lu Zhongheng can afford to fail several times, and even return to the Central Plains in disgrace, there is no problem. But he couldn't bear it, and he fell into it.

He Xi is Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law.

If he really wants to pull such a thing, Lu Zhongheng can't afford Zhu Yuanzhang's anger.

One thing, which is beneficial to the country, also has some benefits for oneself. But not big. Even if Java is in the hands of King Wulu, Lu Zhongheng asked himself, it is not impossible. But once he fails, his net worth, his life, glory and wealth are gone.

Lu Zhongheng thought about it again and again, and finally decided not to do it.

It's not whether you can't. Is it worth it? Painting a snake is to say, a general of the Chu State has won successive battles. But he had to fight an unplanned city, and as a result, he lost a battle, and all the previous victories were lost.

He Xi said: "Otherwise, this matter is a good opportunity for us to intervene in Java, and the core of Nanyang is in Java." If you don't control Java, at least contain Java, you can't rule the South Seas. Rather than this, it is better to strike first. ”

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but be a little stunned, looked at the two, and even felt that he was wrong. How can overnight, the rhetoric of both sides is completely opposite. The two men seemed to have reversed the pros and cons.
