Chapter 163: Vitality

Yao Guangxiao said, "My lord, I actually understand. But if I need to make it clear, I'll say it. That is to fight the world again, let the people of the world know that in the future it will be the era of steel and gunpowder, the era of industry, and whoever has more steel will be the overlord of the world."

"As long as this is proved to the people of the world, adults do not have to worry, from now on, the status of adults will be directly after Confucius and Mencius, and the doctrine of adults will definitely be the world's manifest learning."

He Xi listened to Yao Guangxiao's words and was stunned for a while.

He finally understood why Yao Guangxiao said that he would not adopt it.

He Xi really couldn't make up his mind.

Rebellion was never in He Xi's thoughts.

It's just that He Xi suddenly discovered that the plan mentioned by Yao Guangxiao is not unrealizable. He Xi didn't know much about military affairs. Although He Xi is not a general, he is even better than a famous general like Xu Da.

He Xi has an advantage that none of them have.

That is the military revolution brought about by scientific and technological progress.

Muskets, flintlock pistols have long been made. And even already equipped the army. But the attitude of the army towards flintlock pistols is nothing more than a substitute for bows and arrows, and ordinary soldiers prefer armor, swords and guns.

Artillery, and even light infantry guns, were created. But no one wants it at all.

For generals, the attack of the army, even if the infantry artillery is light, will also slow down the speed of the army's march, if you want to attack the city, the power of the infantry artillery has some shortcomings, it is better to wait for the heavy artillery behind.

The military system of this era feels like before World War I, tanks, airplanes, and a series of new weapons are already available. It's just that they are not put in the right place to use.

This is also normal, after all, when He Xi came, the Ming Dynasty had already finished the battle, and the rest of the war was all some leftovers, and it could even be said that the majority of the public security war. There is limited room for these new weapons to be brought into play, and without high-intensity warfare, many new tactics and new strategies will be difficult to invent.

Before this kind of military innovation, He Xi was on the same starting line as all the famous generals in the world, but He Xi had already seen the mystery. and they are overcoming them.

And war is the fairest game, and those selfish methods in the court are not used, and the enemy is swept away in a dignified manner. Clean up the opposition with blood and gunpowder, and no one will oppose it in the face of absolute power.

It's just that He Xi closed his eyes and saw the scene of a river of blood.

He Xi didn't think about whether he could complete the combat preparations under Zhu Yuanzhang's nose, otherwise once Zhu Yuanzhang found out, it was very likely that he would be in a different place, and he would not have to wait for the future.

Just thinking about it, as soon as a large-scale war opens, the whole world is full of blood.

In He Xi's heart, there was a strong unbearability.

Whether it is said that a gentleman can be bullied, or that He Xi can't make up his mind, at this moment, He Xi would rather die by himself than let tens of millions of people in the whole world bleed.

He Xi sighed and said, "Let me think about it."

Yao Guangxiao said: "My lord, I know the new designs on many of your weapons, and I also know the weapon production capacity of Liaodong and Beijing. If we fully produce weapons, the production capacity of weapons in the two places will be more than ten times that of the Taiping Iron Factory, and this is where our greatest advantage lies."

"When there is no interruption, there will be chaos."

He Xi said, "That's enough, let me think about it."

Yao Guangxiao was silent for a while, and then said, "My lord, I'll move out of Hefu. Recently, I was still in the city of Nanjing, if the adults figured it out. Send someone to me. Otherwise, after a while, I will have to sail out on board."

He Xi was silent.

He knew what Yao Guangxiao meant.

He Xi's ship is about to sink. He Yao Guangxiao had no intention of accompanying the funeral.

He Xi said: "Go to the account room to pay 10,000 yuan, which can be regarded as buying property for Brother Yao."

Yao Guangxiao saluted He Xi and said, "Thank you for your care over the years, I still want to say that what you have done is unprecedented. Because of this, there is no room for half

It's a bit of a fluke, my lord, I thought it was changing the law, but in fact it was a revolution. In the world, there is no one who does not start from the sword. I've wanted to talk about this for a long time. It's not that I'm pushing adults to do this thing, it's that you've been doing this thing, my lord."

"It's just that before, I could hide my edge, but now I can't hide it."

"My lord, let's make up your mind early."

He Xi smiled a little bitterly and said, "I know."

At this time, He Xi only wanted to understand something, something that he ignored by himself. That is the framework of the Ming court, can it really accommodate a modern government?

He Xi thought it was okay before. But now, he really understands that it is not possible.

The gap between antiquity and modernity, between ancient and modern people, is too great to be bridged by one or two revolutions. If nothing else, the ancients couldn't understand it, and the so-called Dink in later generations couldn't understand why someone would scatter their bones to ashes.

This may seem like a small thing, but in fact, the ideas contained in it are very important.

While some things are okay to boil a frog in warm water, many things are impossible.

What should be faced, always has to be faced.

It's just that He Xi still can't make up his mind.

This is not the life and death of him alone, but the life and death of countless people, not only the life and death of hundreds of people, but also the life and death of so many followers. Yao Guangxiao heard that He Xi did not agree, and immediately made preparations to cut with He Xi.

It's not that Yao Guangxiao is ruthless and unrighteous, but once He Xi has an accident, it is not his business alone, and Yao Guangxiao can't escape. In order to save his life, Yao Guangxiao had to flee overseas. Maybe there is a way to live.

"Is there no other way?" He Xi said secretly in his heart.

Even if He Xi doesn't care about his own life, he cares about his own law-changing career. It's just that after weighing the pros and cons, He Xi is not ready to use this method as a last resort.

He's going to think of something else. But what's the solution?

He Xi couldn't figure it out.

------

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw He Xi once, he did not urge He Xi. Instead, he recuperated like an ordinary old man, but he didn't seem to pay attention to the affairs of the court anymore. I just have time to talk to Xu Da and others.

It seems that he is about to enjoy his old age in peace.

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden change, not only He Xi, but the entire court is not too accustomed to it. The emperor, who had been extremely diligent before, suddenly became tired of politics?

Some people feel that this seems normal. Even the most wise and martial person will grow old one day. I don't have enough energy, and I naturally start to burn out.

Human.

Some people think it's problematic.

However, even if there is a problem, Fang Xiaoru still can't hold it back.

After Fang Xiaoru became the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, although there were many restrictions on power, firstly, he could not be contaminated with military power, and secondly, in the cabinet, he was not a man of his word, in the design of the system, there were provisions that although the first assistant had the power to convene cabinet meetings, many major affairs must be collectively attached to the cabinet to take effect. There are also checks and balances on the powers of the head of the cabinet.

But in any case, Zhu Yuanzhang gave up a lot of power, which made Fang Xiaoru really feel like a real prime minister at the moment.

At first, Fang Xiaoru couldn't believe it, but as time went on, Fang Xiaoru tried it a little bit and found that Zhu Yuanzhang's positioning of the cabinet was really not an institution for consultants, but a political hall, which was the center of the world's government.

This made Fang Xiaoru have his own thoughts.

The new official took office three times, not to mention, Fang Xiaoru's political stance is so clear. After he became the first assistant of the cabinet, he naturally wanted the new officials to take office three times. Fang Xiaoru's three fires were naturally going to burn on He Xi's head.

First, Fang Xiaoru's supporters have always hated He Xi. Fang Xiaoru also had to explain something to them.

Second, Fang Xiaoru himself also has to solve some practical problems of the imperial court, and in Fang Xiaoru's view, what is the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty? It is He Xi and He Xi's new law.

Naturally, it can't be taken down at once, but a little bit of cannibalization is not a problem at all.

Therefore, Fang Xiaoru has been brewing a big event for a long time, which can be regarded as a heavy blow to He Xi. So He Xi didn't know how to collect it at all.
