In the upper study.

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Liu Bowen with some fanaticism:

"Bowyn, did you know that there are countless gold and silver mines on the island?"

"Just one silver mine has a reserve of nearly 500 million taels of silver."

"These are the Ming Dynasty granted to us by God, what qualifications do those savages on Wajima have to occupy these places?"

"So many gold mountains and silver mines should belong to our Daming."

"As long as we take these silver mines, we will have the silver to send troops to wipe out Mongolia in Mobei and complete this great cause that has shaken the past and the present."

Liu Bowen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in shock, but he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to have such an idea.

This is a direct plan to rob the open, seeing that there is a lot of gold and silver on the island, he directly took the island and used it to fill the treasury of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Bowen has been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child, and this kind of arrogant, unreasonable, and even bloody naked plunder is really a little difficult to accept.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this matter?"

"Our Ming Dynasty is a great country, the Heavenly Empire, how can we do such an arrogant thing?"

"If the surrounding small countries know the inside story of the matter, what will they think of our Daming?"

"The emperor will also leave a lifetime of infamy when the time comes!"

"Please think twice!!"

After Liu Bowen finished speaking, he knelt down towards Zhu Yuanzhang and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to retract this thought.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was not moved at all, but persuaded Liu Bowen:

"Berwyn, as a Confucian scholar, have you ever heard that those who are not of my race will have different hearts!"

"Who are the Japanese people on the island?"

"They're all savages, and they can't even be counted as human at all."

"When the Wako were raging, we sent people to Wajima, hoping that the monarch of Wajima would restrain their people and not let them do anything beyond the norm."

"But how do they do it? Not only did they kill our envoys, but they even intensified their efforts, causing the southeast to become more and more troublesome. ”

"When they kill our people, they never think about whether our people should be killed, they are all innocent."

"Now, our Ming Dynasty's naval strength is strong enough to conquer Wadao."

"Do you want us to show mercy to their men?"

"We only know blood for blood and tooth for tooth."

"Since these people on the island don't regard themselves as human beings, let's teach this group of beasts a good lesson."

"We just want to take the commander to conquer the country, destroy its temples, plunder its people, and hold its monarch accountable, so that these Wadao people can remember it for a long time."

Liu Bowen frowned and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with wide eyes.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he has rarely been so unruly and unruly in front of his courtiers.

But Liu Bowen knows that the current Zhu Yuanzhang is the real Zhu Yuanzhang, and this is his character.

Kill all the millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sword on his waist is still bloody!

I don't send it when the flowers are hairy, and if I do, I am scared to death.

This is the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who killed millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River.

It is precisely because Liu Bowen knows Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament that he hopes to stay away from Zhu Yuanzhang after he becomes emperor.

After all, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking! The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden!

Now Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly exposed his aggressiveness, which made Liu Bowen a little uncomfortable and silent for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Liu Bowen kneeling on the ground without saying a word, and his eyes instantly became gloomy.

As the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, what he needs is an obedient courtier, and Liu Bowen, a courtier with a strong sense of self and the ability to see through his own mind, makes Zhu Yuanzhang dislike it very much.

If it weren't for the need for Liu Bowen to check and balance the Huaixi Group, Zhu Yuanzhang might have attacked Liu Bowen a long time ago.

Seeing that Liu Bowen wanted to disobey himself again, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little upset in his heart.

"Berwyn, do you have any other ideas?"

Liu Bowen sighed secretly in his heart, opened his mouth to make his greatest efforts, and said:

"Even so, it is an unjust act for the emperor to seize the land of a dependent country."

"Justice?"

The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth showed a hideous smile, thinking of Li Jin's remarks, he couldn't help but show a smug look in his eyes, and said:

"Who says we're unjust? Who's to say that we are preempting the land of a dependent country? ”

"The heroes on the island are vying for hegemony, and the princes do not obey the orders of the monarch, they are already bullying the monarch and rebelling against the norm."

"As their suzerain, we have the right and obligation to set things right."

"So we plan to purge the rebels and defeat the rebels for the monarch of Wajima."

"In order to do this, it makes sense for us to garrison troops in various areas of Wajima."

"It is also very reasonable for Wajima to receive our help and provide food, grass and remuneration for our army."

"Cleaning up the universe for the subject country and putting things in order is justice! It is for the sake of justice that we are stationed on Wajima. ”

"Berwyn, do you say that our Da Ming represents justice?"

Liu Bowen was dumbfounded, can justice still say this?

If this is the case, then all wars in the world can be said to be just.

We invaded you because your lord was incompetent and could not make you live well, and we came to your rescue.

The reason why this war was waged is also a means to enable you to live a good life.

As long as you defeat the lord of your land, and the wise and martial Emperor Hongwu rules you, then your good days will come.

Liu Bowen raised his head, saw Zhu Yuanzhang's playful eyes, and did not speak again to dissuade him.

Because Liu Bowen knows that now Zhu Yuanzhang is armed with a sharp weapon, and his murderous intent has risen since then.

At the beginning, without Li Jin's sharp knife, he couldn't get into the affairs of the sea at all.

Now that the navy under the command of Li Jin has defeated the Wako, and the island is in the midst of civil strife.

With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Li Jin even had the opportunity to attack Wajima.

Moreover, the gold and silver reserves on Wajima are extremely abundant, and the technology of Wajima is very backward, and it is simply not capable of mining these gold and silver.

As a result, the gold and silver mines on the island have been largely unmined.

As the so-called husband is innocent and guilty, since Zhu Yuanzhang has already taken a fancy to the fat of Wadao, he will not let go of Wadao easily.

Liu Bowen is a Junjie, because he knows the current affairs, since he can't stop it, there is no need to waste his tongue, after all, the victims are the people of Wadao, not the people of China.

Why bother to give Qingqing's life for the sake of some aliens.

"The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and what he does is naturally the righteous side."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Liu Bowen bowing his head, he immediately laughed happily and said:

"Berwyn, it's still nice for you readers to talk about sycophants."

"Get up, let's take a look, whether we know our Ming Dynasty on the sea, and pay energy to explore."

Liu Bowen stood up again and came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side.

At this time, Liu Bowen discovered that Zhu Yuanzhang was surrounded by sea chronicles and charts from the previous dynasty, and it seemed that he had been studying for a long time.

Liu Bowen actually has a mystery in his heart, that is, why did Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly attach so much importance to the ocean?

Is it because there is a lot of gold and silver on the island?

But in this case, it is only necessary to occupy Wajima, so why start studying the charts of the South China Sea and beyond?

But Liu Bowen didn't ask again, but quietly looked at Haizhi beside Zhu Yuanzhang, wanting to see some clues from it.

Not long after the time passed, Liu Bowen suddenly heard Zhu Biao's exclamation:

"Found it, father, I have found a land that can continue the fortunes of our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly turned around and looked at Zhu Biao, and when Liu Bowen heard this, his heart was even more turbulent.

Continuation of the Ming Dynasty?

Isn't Daming just established now? Today's Ming Dynasty is full of vitality and a situation of waste waiting to be revived, why should the emperor and the prince look for a way to continue the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty?

Could it be that Da Ming has happened something that he doesn't know?

Can this kind of change even affect the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty? Can... Is this possible?

Liu Bowen was in a state of surprise and uncertainty, and also came to Zhu Biao's side.

I saw that Zhu Biao was also holding a nautical chart in his hand, and on this nautical chart, a country named Tianzhu occupied a large part of the nautical chart, and it seemed that it was not much better than Daming.

"Father, look at the introduction here, Tianzhu is a rich area, and the land here is extremely conducive to planting."

"And it's so rich that the people here don't even need to farm, and the land can be harvested."

"This area is right next to the South Seas, so it's a dream place."

"As long as we take this area into our pockets, even if our Ming people expand tenfold in the future, we are not afraid that there will be a shortage of land."
