Seeing that the prisoners listened to the speech, their faces were all excited, which made Zhu Su very satisfied. Seeing that the effect of teaching on this battlefield site this time was so good, the so-called iron should be struck while it was hot, Zhu Su asked with a smile: "Do you have any other doubts or suggestions?" ”

"You can speak up and speak freely. It's also my first time running a concession. Maybe there is something that is not thoughtful, but now here, you and Mr. Gao Qi are the only two brains I can rely on. ”

"You notice something, or you have any concerns, you can also say. We're all in this together, and we don't have to worry too much. ”

"Master, I have a question." Tie Xuan was the first to speak, he seemed to have doubts for a long time, and as soon as Zhu Su's words fell, he raised his hand. "Master, when the Japanese fled in embarrassment last night, we could clearly follow and cover the kill, and there were already interceptions outside the camp such as horse and deer antlers, just send hundreds of people, maybe we can wipe out all the Japanese here, so that the existence of cement and tiger squatting cannons can be hidden for a longer time."

"Why did you give the order 'No pursuit'? Is it just because I can't bear to see the soldiers hurt? ”

This question has been held in Tie Xuan's heart for a long time. In his opinion, a large part of the victory of the Ming army last night was due to the unknown and sudden nature of the cement wall and the tiger squat cannon that appeared for the first time in the Japanese country.

With the blessing of the two, the Japanese army will lose its morale in a very short period of time and be defeated. Sending troops at this time will definitely have extremely huge gains.

Even if it may be accompanied by one or two damages, it is worth it compared to the inevitable gains. After all, such an opportunity is obviously only once, and the next time they play against the Japanese people, they will definitely have to take precautions.

Moreover, kill a few more Japanese people, or you can keep the secret of cement and tiger squat cannon for a little longer, so that in the face of the next attack, the Ming army can still have this sudden advantage. Such benefits are undoubtedly very worthwhile compared to the small war losses that may be had.

Looking at the eyes of several other prisoners, even Di Meng and Gou'er, Zhu Su knew that others, especially some warlike generals, were also confused by his order. So he laughed: "Not wanting more damage is one thing. In fact, what is more important is that I want those Japanese people to spread our strength in the Japanese country on a larger scale. ”

"Spread the word?" Tie Xuan was stunned. With such a killing weapon, it is natural to hide it as much as possible, and it is good to strike a sudden blow at a critical moment like last night. Wouldn't preaching it beforehand make the valets more vigilant?

"Tie Xuan, although we want to spread the power of Huaxia. But do you think that with my Chinese population, I can occupy the land of barbarians from all over the world? Zhu Su said.

"This ......" Tie Xuan only thought for a moment, and then replied with his hand: "Back to Master, naturally it can't." ”

"My Huaxia has been ravaged by Mengyuan for a hundred years, and now it has not recovered. Although there are more and more people after His Majesty expelled the Tartars, there are still many deserted villages and wastelands in the north of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Even the Ming Dynasty has not yet been filled, let alone freed up the population to occupy the land of the four seas."

"Not bad. The land south of the Yangtze River is fine, but the north of my Ming Dynasty is still not very populated. Although it is not said that it is barren for thousands of miles, there must still be a place where there is no rooster crowing for a hundred miles. Zhu Su said.

"This kind of dingkou is undoubtedly a hard wound in external development. It is inevitably unrealistic to want to occupy the barbarian land by chasing away the barbarians. Even if all my Ming soldiers are gods, and one person can guard a hundred miles or thousands of miles, it will never be enough. ”

"In such a situation, it is a long-term strategy to encourage fertility and reproduction in China, but spreading fame and winning over indigenous people are also indispensable means for us to gain a foothold in foreign lands."

"A strong reputation not only makes our enemies jealous and coveted, but it also helps us absorb some of the power of the natives." Zhu Su explained. "We are in the minority in a foreign land, and we must unite all the forces that can be united in order for us to lay our roots in this unfounded land."

"And in a foreign land, force is not the only reliance, reconnaissance and understanding of the situation of the local natives, or co-opting them to use strength, or hiding in the shadows and unscrupulous means, is also the way we practice the will of our ancestors."

"So, do you understand?" He looked at Tiehyun with a smile.

"Master, I understand!" Tie Hyun frowned and thought, and after a while, he came up with an eyebrow. "You want to use the aftermath of this battle to deter and divide those daimyo under Prince Huailiang."

"These great names of the Southern Dynasties of the Wa Kingdom were originally mostly people at both ends of the first rat, otherwise, they would not have attached themselves to Huailiang and wanted to take refuge in the Northern Dynasties."

"Now that they know our strength, some of them may reconsider and no longer get involved with Huailiang."

"And we, with the help of that Fujiwara Minister, can wantonly absorb these anti-water daimyo princes and fight against Huailiang!"

"That's a good point." Zhu Su smiled and encouraged Tie Xuan, Tie Xuan was praised by him, and a young and steady face actually added a few blushes. Zhu Su then spoke: "But there is another point, we don't have much time to dwell on here. ”

"Don't forget that the real strength of the Wa Kingdom is the Northern Dynasty, and the Emperor Changqing is not a good person. If it is discovered that we are preparing to take root in the Wa Kingdom, perhaps this person will choose to tear our skin with us, turn around and seek to join forces with Huailiang, and deal with us first. ”

"Without the great righteousness of helping the emperor, it would have been difficult for us to move forward in the Japanese kingdom alone. Therefore, we must defeat Huailiang as soon as possible and completely put the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. After all, Huailiang is a local snake who has been in business for a long time, if he chooses not to move, we really have no way to start. ”

"If you want to defeat Huailiang, you have to let him show his flaws. Let him feel the power we show first, and he will surely think that we are his greatest threat now, affecting his plans to control the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty. ”

In this way, it may make him jump off the wall in a hurry and take some unconscionable actions in a hurry. Then, we can also find flaws and opportunities, completely eradicate him, and take the emperor of the Southern Dynasty in our hands. ”

"Original...... I see! Tie Hyun and the others were convinced. They also didn't expect that in order to gain a foothold in this foreign country, not only did they need to be proficient in battle formations, business and other things, but they also had to be familiar with such political disputes in the court.

In this way, we can gather all the forces that are beneficial to ourselves and make the pioneering action better progress.
