Domineering Daming

Some things cannot be accomplished overnight. Even if he is the emperor and powerful, he cannot ask people all over the world. Even the elders of the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet fully understand his thoughts. Similarly, he cannot tell the whole story, otherwise it will scare these people. , does not help.

"Do you feel that I have been embarrassing the cabinet and the court adults?" Suddenly, Zhu Xu looked up at Liu Shimin, Cao Huachun said.

Having just experienced the "banning of firearms", Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin looked at each other. Cao Huachun tried to figure out Zhu Xu's intentions, and slowly said: "The emperor has a far-sighted vision, which is beyond the reach of others. The cabinet and the adults in the court cannot understand. This is normal. As long as the emperor gives instructions patiently, the servants believe that the adults in the outer court will understand the emperor's painstaking efforts."

Zhu Xu looked at him and shook his head secretly.

What he said was actually not what he meant. He, a descendant, came here and stood at the highest point, as if he was against the whole world, not just the adults of the outer court.

Sometimes, Zhu Xu also sympathizes with these grown-ups. He used various methods to whip him behind with a whip, and followed suit.

"Actually, I have no other choice." Zhu Xu said.He said these words to Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin, and also to comfort himself.He can disregard those saints, virtues, and even the so-called reputation and reputation, even if the history is like a knife.But these adults regard him as their life, and following him is hard enough.

Liu Shimin looked at Zhu Xu's expression, paused, and said: "The emperor has a ditch in his heart, and he has great ambitions. It is just a small fetter in front of him. Looking back later, it may not be a merit."

Zhu Xu was stunned, looked up at Liu Shimin, took the playbook and nodded him, and said with a smile: "You will comfort me. Okay, I just sighed for a while, there are too many lice and it doesn't itch. Let's go outside, No more chairs, let them stand and listen, I will give them a good lesson and beat them."

Seeing Zhu Xu smiling calmly, Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin felt relieved, and quickly said, "Yes."

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others led the cabinet, six ministers, and twenty governors, and walked into the Qianqing Palace very meanderingly, and came to Dongnuan Pavilion.

Most of the people's faces were sinking like water. It was obvious that Bi Ziyan had conveyed Zhu Xu's meaning for the memorial, and his heart was shaken and uneasy.

When they arrived at Dongnuan Pavilion and saw Zhu Xu sitting at the main entrance, their expressions changed.

This kind of "blocking the door" behavior is very bad, very few people do it, once it is done, it represents "anger", and the emperor blocking the door is even more unusual.

"The ministers are waiting to see the emperor."

A group of people were very anxious, they came to Zhu Xu, bowed and saluted.

There was a small charcoal stove in front of Zhu Xu. With his hands on it, he said calmly, "Do you know that firearms existed before the Song Dynasty, that is, four or five hundred years ago..."

The emperor did not say "flat body" or "exemption from courtesy", and more than 30 adults could only continue to bow there.Listening to Zhu Xu's words, the group of people remained silent.

"The craftsmanship of gunpowder has been around for a long time, and its power is not small, but apart from being used to set off firecrackers, it has very few military applications..." Zhu Xu continued without raising his head while he was on fire.

A group of adults knew what Zhu Xu was talking about, and many of them had embarrassment on their faces. They lowered their heads and listened quietly without daring to breathe.

Zhu Xu raised his head, looked at the adults in front, and said in a calm tone: "The Song Dynasty still had a lot of development in firearms. My Daming's firearms basically inherited the Song Dynasty, but except for artillery, the others are basically the same Four or five hundred years ago was about the same, why do you say? What have you been doing for four and five hundred years?"

Bi Ziyan frowned slightly, Sun Chengzong was expressionless, Sun Chuanting was thoughtful, and the others also had expressions.

Zhu Xu looked down at the charcoal fire again, and said, "Why didn't it develop? What were the adults in the Song Dynasty doing? They lost half of their country and still danced and danced in the West Lake. The generals were so overwhelmed that they couldn't hold their heads up. Firearms are powerful. , defensive weapons, have not been used, why? Who is stopping it?"

"I have the Shenji Battalion in the Ming Dynasty, but after looking at Yongle, I didn't use firearms very much. Although I used it a few times in North Korea, the effect was also very good. Later, the Jiannu rebellion, the crisis in Liaodong, and the power of the Hongyi cannon were known throughout the dynasty. , but there are not many in Liaodong. Is it because I, Ming, can’t make it? Why haven’t we paid more attention to firearms at this juncture? Who is stopping it?”

"The artillery of the people of Xiyi is far superior to the firearms before the apocalypse. They can fire a thousand feet away. They have a short cannon that can be fired a hundred feet away. In countries thousands of miles away, they rely on such weapons. A few people can conquer a country as big as Liaodong. But they have only developed for less than 100 years, from the Song Dynasty to my Ming Dynasty, four to five hundred years... If there are another few decades, they will have strong ships and powerful guns... Have you ever thought about this? Consequences?"

"I am guilty!"

A group of people, no matter whether they realized the danger of this matter or not, all raised their hands and bowed again, pleading guilty loudly.

Zhu Xu was still grilling charcoal fire, and said as if he had never heard of it: "My Ming Dynasty is going through an unprecedented period of great change, and we must have new ways of seeing things, new eyes, and new angles. You can't stick to past experience. Too many things have not been told to us, and we need to explore, research, and judge by ourselves. Times change, and measures are adapted to local conditions. Whether it is learning or doing things, it is the same truth, and everything should not be copied mechanically. Step by step, always use the saints to talk about things , to shirk responsibility, that is tarnishing the saint, out of integrity and throwing away..."

"As the saying goes, wealth does not last for three generations, and it has been verified in all dynasties, not to mention Qin, Han, Tang, Song, everything is like this, put it in my Ming... after the Tumu Fort, I blindly kept it. , the land is shrinking again and again, there are only a few people who care about it, the Great Wall is there, everyone is stuck in their old ways, and there is no one in a hundred who is advancing..."

"Taizu conquered the Tatars in the north and restored China. His merits will last for thousands of years. As the ancestor, he conquered the desert five times and moved the capital to Beiping. He is majestic and heroic. My descendants are unfilial, and we can keep our business. The town on the nine sides has lost all the face of our ancestors..."

A Minister of Civil and Military Affairs listened, his expression became tense, and he dared not say a word.

Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin were on the sidelines, silently.

Zhu Xu turned his hands gently on the charcoal stove, and continued: "Although my unworthy descendants do not have the grand strategy of Taizu and Chengzu, but we will push the responsibility to our Zhu family... It is not always true. I have wanted to do a lot these years The matter, which is constrained by the inside and outside, doesn't know who I am. If I hadn't insisted on going my own way, Da Ming wouldn't know what it would be like now..."

Bi Ziyan and many other people had cold sweat on their faces with complex expressions.Regardless of whether they were in the imperial court or not, and whether they were members of the "restrictions", if they were placed at that time, most likely they would be one of them!

"I am guilty!"

More than 30 people panicked and raised their hands again.

Zhu Xu looked at his hands, indifferent, and said: "I know, how about you, you are afraid, worried, and dissatisfied with what I have done these years, have doubts, scruples, and opposition to the 'New Deal', so you hesitate to act. , hesitant, procrastinating, and greatly discounting. But have you tried to put aside some stubbornness, prejudice, change an angle, stand on a high place, overlook these things in the past, have you calmly calculated, thought about, and deduced these behaviors of me , policies and plans? Have you ever thought about what the future looks like, how it will develop, and what variables are there?"

"Most of you don't. You have a great wall in your heart, which surrounds you. You can't break through, you can only wander around in this circle. You can't get out, and you don't want others to go out. This firearm can break through these Great Walls, you What you want is not to push these cannons out, or even use them to protect the Great Wall. You are afraid of breaking the Great Wall, so you want to destroy the firearms, just like Zheng He’s treasure ship back then. I thought it would be safe, but I didn't expect people from thousands of miles away to come to the door in a boat... These western barbarians, thousands of miles away, are carrying artillery that is more powerful than ours... Now, you want to destroy us The cannon..."

Bi Ziyan and the others bent over there, with tense expressions and fear in their hearts.

This matter is more serious than they expected, the emperor is not using power to suppress people, but "educating" them! "Educate" their stupidity, tell them about their ignorance!

Zhu Xu withdrew his hand, gathered his clothes, looked at the group of people in front of him, and said, "That's all I said. After I go back, I will write an article about my experience. I hope that you can all gain and understand. Go back, take a day off and have a good rest."

Bi Ziyan and the others had no idea when their mouths were dry, their brains were buzzing, and they couldn't think. Hearing this, he raised his hand and said, "I'm going to leave!"

Holding the teacup in his hand, Zhu Xu looked at the backs of this group of people, feeling a little unsatisfied.

He didn't say some things, some were not up to the time, and some couldn't be said. For example, the Great Wall that imprisoned them refers to the Confucianism that these adults regard as the "Bible"!

Chapter 988 North Korea's Solution

This Great Wall will be broken sooner or later!

Zhu Xu sat for a while, picked up the teacup, took a sip, got up and walked inside.

Cao Huachun asked someone to remove the chair, followed behind him, and said, "Your Majesty, what are the arrangements for tomorrow?"

When Zhu Xu came to Ruantao, he picked up the "joint action" playbook made by the Ministry of War and the governors of various places, and said casually: "There is no arrangement, rest for two days, eat and drink."

Liu Shimin could feel Zhu Xu's ease, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to take this opportunity to set all the agendas of the 'New Deal' in one fell swoop?"

These adults are now being scolded by Zhu Xu, and there is no way to talk back. If there is a big discussion at this time, I am afraid that everything can be settled, and the disputes between the six cabinet departments and the local governor will be avoided. .

Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "I can't always do things. These grown-ups have to learn new ways of communicating, communicating, and doing things under the new situation. Give them a few more days."

Seeing that Zhu Xu was really not in a hurry, Liu Shimin didn't say any more.

Zhu Xu looked at the playbook in his hand, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

This "joint operation" between the Ministry of War and the governors of various places is actually a nationwide bandit suppression operation. It is coordinated by the Ministry of War and the governors of various places cooperate to clean up the whole country. , The peaceful environment also deters some people.

The reason for the "joint action" is because these bandits are either hiding in the mountains or at the borders of several provinces. It is too complicated to deal with them alone, and because they cannot cross provinces, it will inevitably give these bandits a chance to linger and revive.

"This plan is good. Send it to the cabinet for review and continue to improve the details." Zhu Xu handed the memorial to Liu Shimin and said.

"Yes." Liu Shimin responded.

"You guys go to rest too. I'll sleep for a while and wake me up in two hours." Zhu Xu waved his hand, lay on the bed, pulled the blanket over and said.

"Yes." Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin agreed, and when Zhu Xu lay down, they retreated quietly.
