The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

But Yan Song is not angry

Jiajing said a few more words, and found that Yan Song was not interested in his opinion at all, with a confused expression on his face.

Chapter 2574 The ignorant person [1]

Your Majesty, this railway is not money from the imperial court, but money from merchants. They value the future value of Xinjiang, so they invested so much.The imperial court should give support and encouragement!

Yan Song smiled but said resolutely

Jiajing lost his temper

For the current situation of the king, the role of the emperor is basically the ear of a deaf person—a display

The emperor supports it, Yan Song wants to do it, the emperor opposes it, Yan Song still wants to do it

Jiajing had no choice but to resentfully said: "Since that's the case, then love you and just figure it out.

Yan Song bowed and retreated

But Jiajing is still unconvinced

Coincidentally, at this time someone jumped out again to trouble Yan Song and the Northwest Campaign

This time it was not a literati, but a general named Liu Weiyong

Liu Weiyong was the grandson of Liu Daxia, Minister of War in the Hongzhi Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and he was also from a family of poets and writers.In the third year of Jiajing, he was appointed as the sixth-rank guerrilla general after he passed the martial arts examination.

Liu Weiyong, the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, directly sent tens of thousands of words to Jiajing, complaining about the war in the Northwest.

His points of view are mainly

The northwest is a ghostly place where no bird shits. Back then, Hongwu and Yongle's martial arts were not officially owned by Daming.It was occupied by Bei Yuan at that time, and now it is occupied by the Raksha Kingdom, so we should not easily start a war and start a full-scale war with the Raksha Kingdom

The Northwest War was very difficult and required a lot of power, supplies and wares, consuming a lot of national power.The Great War of the Ming Dynasty will surely perish. Is it worth it to fight for a piece of land that is not worth much in a war that consumes so much national power of the Ming Dynasty?

For the same reason, Liu Xiongyong also opposed Yan Song for several North American wars.I think that North America is just a big place, but it is really far away from Ming Dynasty, and it can’t be used well if it is conquered by Ming Dynasty, so it’s better to save some effort

In the final analysis, Liu Weiyong and his grandfather Liu Daxia have the same views—Daming should respect the one-acre and three-point land left by his ancestors, and not even an inch of other ten lands!

Yan Song was going to laugh angrily when he saw this Zhe Jiping.

At that time, Emperor Hongzhi worked hard to restore the vitality of Daming, so Hongzhi deliberately resumed the feat of voyages to the West, and asked Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of War, to check the priceless treasure left by Zheng He [Zheng He Haitu

Unexpectedly, Liu Daxia actually set fire to the priceless Zheng He Hai Tu Tu

Emperor Hongzhi looked confused, and invited Liu Daxia to ask him, "I asked you to check the charts, prepare to develop the navy, and go to Nanyang, why did you set yourself on fire?

Liu Daxia has a plausible statement: "Beep, how much national wealth was consumed by Emperor Yongle and how many people were ruined in order to sail to the West? Now, although His Majesty is making great efforts to rule the country, and our Ming Dynasty is gradually recovering, it is still necessary to make great efforts to carry out such a waste of people and money. I don't agree with this move, so I set fire to the sea chart, I, Daming, should be honest, stay on land, and manage the ancestral business well, it's better to do less of such whimsical things that waste people's money and waste money!"

Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded, and wanted to pursue Liu Daxia's responsibility, but the incomparably precious Zheng He's charts had been burned, so he had no choice but to give up

That's how courageous Liu Daxia is

It's a pity to take ignorance as courage J

Zheng He's sea chart, which is Zheng He's use of countless lives and silver in exchange for information on the hydrology and geological tides of the countries around the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean.

This kind of information is a priceless treasure of a country!

Unfortunately, it was set on fire by a farmer Liu Daxia⊥

Still self-righteous, feeling that he risked his life and done a great deed for the country and the people

That's the pity of not having a brain

Every time Yan Song thinks about it, he wants to kick this "loyal minister" L who is full of shit

Today, this Liu Weiyong is carved out of the same mold as his grandfather

Maybe it's the ancestral brain-dead gene of the old Liu family at work.

He also opposed Yan Song's foreign expansion.

Not only did he not support the North American War, but even Yan Song's efforts to subdue the Western Regions, he also felt that it was a waste of money and people, and it was a great achievement

Yan Song sneered

This kind of person is purely farming too much land, and his eyes can only see one-third of an acre of land in front of him.

They don't want to talk about what they want, and they don't allow the country to expand its territory and make progress!

They just saw that war requires taxation, and if people die, they can't see it at all. War has greatly promoted the rise of a powerful empire.

Very simple

If Genghis Khan had listened to their ideas, who would know Genghis Khan in the world today?

Mongolia, maybe it has long been annihilated in the long river of history...

But the Mongol wars played a decisive role in the rise of the Mongol Empire!

This history is written by the victors

Similarly, the reason why the Raksha Kingdom expanded from a Grand Duchy of Moscow to 400 times in just 400 years, becoming the largest country in history across Europe and Asia, is not because

Non-stop expansion war?

Conservative, can only bring weakness
