Chapter Eighty-Six: Lin Che's Question: What Is the Purpose of Fighting?
Too late to think about it.
Zhu Biao took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and quickly stepped forward and said:
"Father Emperor Shengming!"
"Mr. takes a hundred steps and looks at a hundred steps, not only has the ability to be unpredictable, but also has the magical power to see through the long river of time..."
"Down-to-earth and steady development, adhere to the right road, ambitious hegemony can be expected, what Daming has to do is not to make mistakes!"
"Erchen thinks that what Mr. said is true!"
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hand on Zhu Biao's shoulder and smiled slightly:
"I don't need you to say that... We know that, too. ”
"But the difficulty lies in this's 'not making mistakes'!"
These three words are easy to say, but difficult to do! Who wants to make mistakes, and who wants to make mistakes? But it always backfires..."
"Great Qin Whale Swallowing Six Kingdoms, after six generations and seven monarchs, more than one hundred and forty years, and the time it will take for our Ming Dynasty to annex the 'big map' will only be more, not less!"
said that Zhu Yuanzhang's eyebrows were full of sorrow:
"If a generation makes a mistake and loses everything, it's not easy to talk about!"
"Mr. Lin can help you pave the way for a hundred years at most, but after a hundred years... What should Da Ming do? ”
"Can you still stay on the right path and not make mistakes?"
"We... Don't worry! ”
Zhu Biao helped the old father to sit down again, and said with relief:
"Father, what do you think of you?"
"You also said before that your mother is born to worry about her life, isn't it the same for you?"
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!"
"Don't worry!"
"The descendants of our Zhu family, not to mention that they are all tigers and wolves from generation to generation, but they will definitely not be a bad breed!"
"According to Mr. Lin's education method, at least the general direction will not go wrong!"
"What does Father think?"
Zhu Biao's ridiculous words of relief, Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly relieved in his heart.
He laughed and scolded:
"You stinky boy!"
"Now that I'm capable, I actually know how to tease my father."
"It's really hard wings, don't think that if you move Mr. Lin out, we won't dare to clean you up!"
"There's a lot more to learn!"
"It's still a little tender!"
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
He lowered his eyebrows and answered.
When Lao Tzu's worries, when his son's eyes are in his eyes.
The more you care, the more you worry.
The emperor was not exempt from vulgarity.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!
It's a pity that this is not the people's family, but the emperor's family!
With that in mind.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and said:
"Father thinks..."
"How feasible is Mr. Lin's 'long-range and close-range attack'?
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, and after repeated hesitation, he still did not express his opinion, and said ambiguously:
"Don't worry."
"Let's finish listening to Mr. Lin first."
……
The other side.
Zhu Fan looked at Lin Che, his eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't wait to perform:
"Distant and close attack, I know."
"There are in Sun Tzu's "Thirty-six Strategies"!"
"I'm impressed!"
"Mr. Lin, you want our Daming to take the small country next to him to attack."
Lin Che leaned back in his chair, took a sip of wine, and nodded:
"You're right."
"Now that we've talked about it, I'm going to ask you..."
"The small countries around the Ming Dynasty, such as the Japanese slaves on the eastern sea, frequently harass our Ming coastal border, and the current emperor clearly hates it, but why is there no willingness to crusade?"
Faced with the sudden question, Zhu Fan fell into deep thought.
Before Lin Che asked, he really hadn't thought about it.
It stands to reason that... With the old man's fiery temper, it is long overdue to take action, instead of blindly defending passively.
Now that I think about it, it's not quite right.
Zhu Fan pondered carefully and said cautiously:
"Perhaps, there are too many enemies overseas?"
"The remnants of Fang Guozhen, as well as the descendants of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang, are all gathered overseas, and it is easy to attract siege?"
Lin Che put up his chopsticks and shook them from side to side:
"Wrong!"
"Will the emperor be afraid of this remnant of the army? If you let it collude with the Japanese invaders, you can't get together many people, and it's not enough for the Great Ming Sailor to fight. ”
Zhu Fan was even more puzzled when he heard this, and said:
"Worried about the enemy on the back?"
"After all, the threat of the Northern Yuan has not been eradicated, and the population of the Ming Dynasty is stretched.
Lin Che shook his head:
"Wrong!"
"The treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty, smashing the enemy's armor is as easy as drinking water, the only drawback is that the mobility is slightly poor, the enemy can't catch up when he escapes, there is no need to divide too many troops, and it can't be a variable."
Zhu Fan's face was bitter, and he said a few possibilities he could think of.
However, Lin Che's repeated denials made him a little suspicious of life.
"What's that?"
Zhu Fan gave up completely, no longer embarrassed himself, and said depressedly:
"I'm not a roundworm in the emperor's stomach... can't be like a gentleman, how can you guess what his old man thinks? ”
Lin Che glanced at the other party, shook his head and smiled:
"If you say you're stupid, you're not smart, what does this have to do with being able to pinch and calculate?"
"It's just the most basic strategic thinking..."
"If you don't understand anything, you know that you are reckless!"
Zhu Rong's face turned red, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and finally learned to be obedient, and he didn't say anything more.
"Actually, the question is very simple..."
Lin Che didn't embarrass him anymore, and happily explained:
"The Ming Dynasty exterminated the Japanese without much effort, and the reason why they ignored it was nothing more than one reason."
"I can't get the money back!"
Hear that.
Zhu Fan gasped, and then he woke up like a dream and opened up the blocked train of thought:
"That's right! Fighting a war requires spending on military salaries, and if you can't get any benefits from a war, what kind of war is there to fight? ”
"Well, it's okay, not stupid."
Seeing this, Lin Che smiled:
"Fighting a war is inseparable from spending money, and without money, you can't fight a war, this is the most basic truth."
"Starting a war is more like investing, taking money to make money, exchanging money for money, not a hot brain, you can fight if you want, you should know these things better than me."
Zhu Fan held his breath and listened very seriously.
"However, the destruction of the Japanese slaves... But it has no substantive strategic significance, and there is nothing else except to relieve hatred. ”
"There is no one to ask for people, there is no money to ask for, there is nothing to do, and it is an isolated island, which is extremely inconvenient to manage, let alone develop."
Lin Che spread his hands and sighed:
"No matter how you look at it horizontally and vertically, it is a loss-making transaction, which not only costs the people and money, but also increases the burden on the Ming Dynasty."
"In short... But where there is a little use, it has long been included in the Chinese territory. ”
"Just because it's useless, whoever sees it dislikes it... That's what has allowed the Japanese to live until now..."
After listening to Lin Che's patient explanation, he saw Zhu Zhangjian's eyebrows frowning and sighed heavily.
I understand, I understand, but I am even more confused!
In this way, isn't the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack contradictory?
If it's not profitable, it's no fun to fight, you can't feed the war with war, and sooner or later you will have to overdraft your national strength...
Zhu Fan said worriedly:
"Mr. Lin!"
"I don't quite understand..."
"Since you have considered this for a long time, why do you still adhere to the strategic policy of 'long-distance friendship and close attack'?"
"Daming is now in ruins, the treasury is empty, and it is difficult to move an inch, and it can't withstand any consumption!"
Zhu Fan suddenly got up and said:
"Students are stupid!"
"Please sir!"
