Chapter 0677 - Although Far Away, You Must Save
Under the rule of Ran Min, the Great Wei Empire's national strength was thriving, and its influence gradually expanded, becoming a well-deserved number one empire in the world.
Economically, the Wei Empire may have been worse than the later Song Dynasty, but it was much stronger than all the countries in the world. As for the rest of the military, political, academic and cultural fields, the Wei Empire did not know how many streets the Song Dynasty took!
Not to mention anything else, the territory of the Wei Empire is so vast, how can it not make people yearn for it?
But what's the use of just yearning? They have to act, they have to become stronger and more prosperous than the Wei Empire!
Now, Ran Min can say this unceremoniously: in the fields of social life, art, entertainment, institutions, and technology, the Wei Empire is undoubtedly the most advanced country of this era, and it has every reason to regard the rest of the world as a mere barbarian state!
At this time, the types and numbers of foreigners who came to China far exceeded those of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty in later generations. Most of the foreigners in the Tang Dynasty came from the Western Regions of Asia, Arabia, the Bangzi Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom.
In addition to these places, the Wei Empire also expanded to Africa, Europe and other places.
Even the Wei Empire was more open than the Tang Dynasty, and the commercial activities and business atmosphere of the Wei Empire were undoubtedly several grades higher than those of the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang and Song dynasties, foreigners mainly came to China to do business, while merchants from the Wei Empire went out.
The Wei Empire was far more civilized than any country in the world in this era.
The Wei Empire was a kingdom of heaven and a great kingdom in the eyes of barbarians and aliens at this time. The Wei people were excellent and noble people in the eyes of foreign countries. Therefore, it is not surprising that foreign countries and barbarians look so highly on the Wei Empire and the Wei people.
But while Ran Min was proud, he also had a trace of worry in his heart.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how do you think we should deal with the matter of foreign nations such as the Wa Kingdom, Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje 'subduing' to our Great Wei?"
Ran Min asked the ministers, and a faction of ministers led by Cui Hao suddenly jumped out and asked Ran Min to put an end to this kind of moral corruption, and severely punished the foreign women involved!
But on this matter, Xu Ji, the secretary of Dali Temple, has a different opinion: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks otherwise. It is a bad custom for foreign nations to give seeds to the empire, and it stands to reason that the empire should ban such incidents, but now it seems that Your Majesty, you might as well let it go! ”
"Why?"
"In the ancient pre-Qin era, in some remote places, such as Qin, Yan and other countries, there were still some bad habits of staying overnight and serving as maids. The purpose is to reproduce! Because many people in the remote mountain villages are relatives, they can't go out of the mountains all year round, and they can't find other women to have children. ”
Xu Ji said loudly: "Nowadays, the practice of Goguryeo and other countries is just to improve the human race, thinking that my Wei people have excellent genes and strong bloodlines, so they want to go back, in fact, this practice is understandable, but the means are a little despicable." ”
"Your Majesty wants to establish a Greater China Co-Prosperity Circle, and what is indispensable is the resource of population, as well as the sense of identity of the various vassal states in the circle. In the past, the blood of the Wei people is still the blood of the Wei people, or the blood of the Chinese people! This is an indelible fact. The minister thinks that I, a state of etiquette, should be more tolerant of the state and give both grace and power, so as to better maintain the relationship between the empire and various foreign states! ”
Hearing this, Ran Min just squinted his eyes and was noncommittal.
And Cui Hao immediately jumped out to object, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Xu said is ridiculous!" In the past, when the Warring States Period was in the past, how could Qin and Yan be the same as the foreign races today? The ancestors of the Warring States period were artificially able to reproduce better, and these foreign nations wanted to improve their genes in a vain attempt to strengthen their country, and their hearts could be punished! ”
"Cui Lingjun's words are wrong."
Xu Ji pursed his lips and said, "These foreign countries may have ulterior motives, but even if they really let them go back, what can they do?" As long as my Great Wei Kingdom is still strong, these people who grew up in foreign countries and have the blood of our Wei people in their bodies will turn to our Wei Kingdom from the consciousness! Wouldn't this achieve Your Majesty's goal of promoting national integration? ”
"Your Majesty, I heard that our Wei people are very popular in all foreign countries! Whenever the Wei people go to various places, they are inevitably warmly welcomed by the locals. It is said that when the Wei people went to Goguryeo, it was the day when the Goguryeo people welcomed Shao, and the country was overwhelmed and cheered and sighed! The Wei people went to Java and Sumatra Islands, and the Wei people stayed in the hotel and had a clean diet. What does this mean? It shows that my Wei people are indeed an excellent nation, and they are full of noble blood in their bones! That's why the Gentiles are yearning for it! ”
Hearing this, Cui Hao suddenly said with a dark face: "Lord Xu, you can't say that. It is true that our Wei people are welcomed by foreign countries, but the nature of Goguryeo and other countries to the empire is extremely bad! Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and Wa were the first to become vassal states of our Great Wei, and they knew the power of the empire the most, so they learned Han etiquette everywhere and imitated the empire almost everywhere. ”
"Now that they have made up their minds on the bloodline of our Wei people, how can they tolerate it? And, as far as I know, some tall, handsome, or brilliant men have disappeared inexplicably these days, and after a visit, it was discovered that some of them had been taken captive by the Japanese to the Japanese country! ”
"What? Is there such a thing?! ”
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were startled and in an uproar.
Isn't that terrifying?
It's just a degree, and it's actually to this point? Singing every night, isn't this trying to squeeze people into adults?!
Ran Min was also angry: "Ridiculous! Whatever the Japanese want, I can't turn a blind eye to it! From now on, all the sons of foreign women and Wei men are Wei people! No foreign nation shall be allowed to cause any accident or any form of reproduction to the empire, and those who violate it will be prosecuted at their own risk! ”
"Your Majesty Shengming!" The ministers shouted.
"In addition, I will definitely investigate the matter of the unauthorized abduction of the Wei people by the Wa State. Geng Ji sent someone to verify the matter, if it is true, the missing person should be recovered immediately, and all those involved will be severely punished! ”
Ran Min's approach won the hearts of the ministers, and it was indispensable to sing praises and flattery words.
Not long after, Ran Min was discussing other political matters with his ministers, and the CRRC government ordered Liu Zhi to submit an emergency military report to Ran Min.
After reading the military report, Ran Min's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Tokugawa, the general of the Wa Kingdom, has been in rebellion and has already marched towards Caozhi City under the banner of respecting the king and uniting the men and horses of various tribes of the Wa Kingdom."
Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but change color.
"How dare the Japanese be so presumptuous?"
"What does the king eat? Didn't he send troops and horses to reinforce Caozhi City? ”
"Isn't there an army of 50,000 servants in the Protectorate of Ishima? It should be able to quell the Tokugawa Shoshin Rebellion, right? ”
"Hey! What do you know? Those 50,000 servant troops are all Japanese people, and most of them will turn against each other when they really fight! ”
"Damn the Japanese people, they are not ashamed to call our Wei people 'Yi'? I think they're getting impatient! Your Majesty, please fight! Please give the minister 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the minister will definitely set foot on the Wa Kingdom! Capture and kill Tokugawa Shouxin! ”
Seeing that the ministers were so excited, Ran Min's originally gloomy face looked a little better, and he said, "I know Geng Ji's ability. He only has five thousand Wei soldiers in his hands, but if he makes good use of it, he should be able to survive for a few months relying on Caozhi City. Wang Ping, Ran Ke! ”
"The last general!"
"Order the two of you to immediately lead a land and water army of 50,000 to protect the capital of Yidao and quell the rebellion of Tokugawa and keeping promises!"
"Yes!"
In the eyes of the ministers, it was really impatient for a small Wa country to dare to offend the Tianwei of the Great Wei Empire.
And Ran Min thought so too, he slowly stood up from the dragon chair, grabbed the sleeve of the crown robe, and said loudly: "I, it's still the same sentence!" Those who offend my Great Wei Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away! All my people of Dawei, although far away, will be saved! ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
