"......" saw Zhu Su's solemn face, and Liu Bowen, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Li also fell silent.

Among the four people present, they all more or less knew Zhu Su's characteristic of "being like a god". Zhu Biao knew that Zhu Su was a descendant, and Zhu Li and Liu Bowen also guessed Zhu Su's origin, but they just tacitly understood it.

Now, seeing that Zhu Su is like a great enemy to these Xiyi, Liu Bowen and the others can't help but solemnly look solemn.

"Fifth brother, these Xiyi are thousands of miles away, why are you so wary of them?" Zhu Biao asked solemnly. "Look at the look on your face...... Aren't these Xiyi more calamitous than the Japanese and Tatars? ”

"Tartars, Japanese robbers, but fierce and powerful." Zhu Su said. "Their horizons are not wide after all. Raiding back and forth is their greatest ability. Even if he becomes a giant like the former Yuan, steals the country, and wants to occupy the Central Plains, he also needs to use Han law. Because of its unprosperous civilization and its proximity to the land of our Chinese Zhongzhou, more or less, it will inevitably be influenced by our Chinese civilization, and it can only be regarded as a derivative variant of our Chinese civilization. ”

"However, the Western Empire is different...... He is far away from the Central Plains, and the form of civilization is very different from that of China. And its civilization form is better than that of the Tartars and the Japanese Invaders, although it is not yet on par with our Chinese civilization, but it is the real opponent of our Chinese civilization. ”

"If I slack off, it will inevitably catch up. In addition, most Westerners are greedy for profit, and although they worship gods called 'God', they are rude, righteous and moral. Today, there is gold in Fengming Prefecture, they covet Fengming Prefecture, if there is a chance in the future, they will also covet my China, and even have the heart to kill my China. ”

"Now that I am strong and strong, Yangzhou and Suzhou are Yiren's merchant ships. But if one day my Huaxia is really weak, the red-haired merchants on these merchant ships will all be transformed into robbers and robbers. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Among several people, Zhu Li did not believe Zhu Su's theory of the threat of Xiyi. After all, in the eyes of today's prevailing values, the Mongols in the north, and even the former Japanese people, were the most likely opponents to pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty.

"Those red-haired Xiyi Dadu and small people, can they really become my Ming henchmen? Even if it does, it will take hundreds of years to evolve before that......"

"Do not underestimate the enemy." Before Zhu Su could explain, it was Zhu Biao who interrupted Zhu Li first. In order to learn from the experience of governing the country, Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu Zeng took Zhu Su together and carefully studied the history of the Ming Dynasty and the history of the Tatar Qing Dynasty after the Ming Dynasty.

When he heard Zhu Su say, "If I am lax in China", he knew that the period when the Westerners "rose up to catch up" corresponded to the Qing Dynasty after the Ming Dynasty.

When it comes to the so-called "imperial technique", the Qing Dynasty can be said to have reached the pinnacle, because it is a foreign race and has an improper position, so it is extremely protective of the imperial power and extremely vigilant against all forces. Interrupt the backbone of Han officials, set up a literary prison, set up a military aircraft department, fool the people, manipulate power, and play balance. Their "imperial technique" was undoubtedly successful, and in the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were only a handful of royal seizures of power. However, due to excessive indulgence in power, for hundreds of years in the Qing Dynasty, all aspects of China stagnation and even regression, so that it was bullied by foreign enemies and almost wiped out the country.

These also made Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao take warning, and let them understand that it is never advisable to stare at the throne and indulge in power tricks. Only by broadening our horizons and taking national strength as the basis can it be possible to break the law of dynastic cycles and create a truly long-lived dynasty.

But even so, it is enough to prove that these Westerners have the potential to surpass and even surpass China.

"Even if they have the possibility of surpassing China in hundreds of years, we also need to plan for future generations, prevent the slightest, and not sit idly by." Zhu Biaodao. "A treasure land in Fengmingzhou, if it falls into the hands of Westerners, it will definitely make it have more potential to grow."

"Third brother, fifth brother, Master Liu, since the Westerners have set their sights on Feng Mingzhou, can we have a way to deal with it? If the blocking of news is strengthened, it may be effective? ”

"Difficult." Liu Bowen said. "How can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days? Even though all the beings of the kingdom and prison today abide by their own self-discipline and do not divulge that knowledge, as long as I wait for the spread of new knowledge, it will one day be known to the Gentiles. ”

"Besides, Feng Mingzhou is there, I can't hide it, sooner or later it will be discovered by those Westerners. It can only be said that to try to delay its time, it is necessary to first create a foundation in Fengming Continent that is enough to affect the overall situation. ”

"It's better to be blocked, what if you just let go and let these Westerners enter the game?" Zhu Su said suddenly.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Li were stunned, but Liu Bowen's eyes flashed with a flash of brilliance, and he smiled: "Your Highness's words coincide with the old minister." ”

"It's better to be sparse than blocked, since it can't be eliminated from Westerners, just lead them into the game. He doesn't know anything about Feng Mingzhou now, so it's better to take this opportunity to let those Westerners follow the steps that my Ming Dynasty has drawn for them. ”

"In this way, there will be no danger of luring wolves into the house?" Zhu Biaodao.

"It's better than finding a way out of his own way out of the middle of nowhere." It was Zhu Su who answered. He dipped his fingers in some tea and drew the outline of the "Kunyu Wanguo Map" on the table. It's just the central location and other details, but it's a little different.

"Actually, Feng Mingzhou's location is closer to those Westerners than my Daming. If we want to develop Fengmingzhou, they have a great geographical advantage compared to us. ”

"It's just that fortunately, they haven't discovered the channel to Fengming Continent yet, and the Earth Circle Theory is not very popular in the West. Almost no one would want to believe that this Fengming Continent was clearly in the east farther away than the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it was a little bit to the west of their homeland. ”

"Therefore, we can inform them of the route from Daming to Fengmingzhou, first, to prevent them from looking for a route by themselves, after all, it is much safer to take an existing route than to find a new route from scratch."

"Second, guiding them to take a long detour to Fengmingzhou can consume their national strength and delay their progress in developing Fengmingzhou."

"Three, now they are asking us." Zhu Su blinked, and his eyes revealed a bit of cunning.

"Don't take this opportunity to let them take what they want from me...... Isn't it a loss? ”

“…… Fifth brother, you are really small! After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Biao first laughed, and Liu Bowen also shook his head.

Although he was a little teasing, he didn't mean to look down on Zhu Su.

The idea that the interests of the country should be given priority has been rooted in the hearts of more people with the spread of new learning. There will never be a person who would rather harm the real interests of his family and country because he seeks the name of benevolence and righteousness.
