Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1795 Sun Quan's Choice
Under the darkness of night, the light of Haoyue seemed to be covered by thick clouds.

In the wing room, under the oil lamp.

Before Sun Quan knelt down to sit on the desk, he read with great interest a volume of book in his hand. This book came from the Ming Dynasty, and it wrote some government policies of the Ming Dynasty.

He prefers to read this type of books recently.

The Ming Dynasty was different from the Han Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had a high degree of freedom of speech, and they did not pay too much attention to the control of books. They paid more attention to the circulation of knowledge.

Moreover, there were many schools in the Ming court, and the students could often talk about politics, so many people would write some handy letters to record the regime of the Ming court.

Capable people will also publish some books.

With the continuous development and progress of papermaking, the cost of papermaking is getting smaller and smaller, and more people can afford paper. In terms of the scale of papermaking today, it will only take a few decades to eliminate those wooden and bamboo slips. Things that time can do.

And as movable type printing became more and more advanced, the cost of printing books became smaller and smaller, and publishing books would become easier for many well-known Confucian scholars.

The Ming court never restricted anyone from publishing books. In Mu Jing's view, the inheritance of knowledge is the best inheritance in the world and should not be blocked by anything or anyone.

Therefore, in Jiangdong territory, there are also many books from the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Quan likes to collect them the most. He will even send some people to the Ming Dynasty to collect these books.

"system?"

The book that Sun Quan was reading was called Hongdu Quotations, which are some quotations recorded by some students of Hongdu School when they were talking loudly.

Some of the information above opened Sun Quan's horizons: "The system of the Ming Dynasty is obviously better than that of the Han Dynasty, and it is more capable of governing the world!"

"It's a pity, we Jiangdong can't learn it, if we can learn it, why worry about Jiangdong's prosperity!"

He sent out such a feeling because he saw the vitality brought about by a different political system.

Although the state of Wu was founded.

But the system is still old, and it is still the foundation of the Han Dynasty, but it is just changing the soup without changing the medicine.

If there is no comparison, he still thinks that the current state of Wu is still good. Sun Jian has laid down the foundation, and Sun Ce is very good in governance and overall situation.

However, after seeing the comparison of the Ming court again, he didn't see it that way. The Ming court's political system gave him some different hopes.

If possible, he hopes to carry out a reform like the Ming court in Jiangdong, but he knows in his heart that this is impossible.

The foundation of Jiangdong's aristocratic and wealthy families is even deeper and more terrifying, and the Sun family does not have the power of Mujing.

The biggest difference in Mujing is that the soldiers and horses under his command were established on the basis of ordinary people, most of the peasants, and refugees from the Yellow Turban Uprising.

These people are completely different from the powerful families, and they will never join forces, so Mu Jing can firmly control the army, and only then will he attack those powerful families.

In addition, Mujing's methods are not something he can learn. When necessary, they can cut through the mess quickly, but when they should slow down, they can boil the frog in warm water.

This kind of just right really pinched the bottom line of the aristocratic family and gave them hope, but they had to meet the reform of the Ming court.

Even so, the predicament faced by the Ming court was very great. Since ancient times, there has been no reform without bloodshed.

Within the Ming Realm, this is still the case.

If he was in Jiangdong, as long as he showed this intention, someone would overthrow him immediately. Besides, he was not the boss, but the second child. Under the pressure of others, Sun Ce could even kill him.

So he can only generalize, but he doesn't have the confidence.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!!!"

At this time, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Come in!"

"Your Highness, there is a guest asking to see you, and I have posted an invitation card!"

"A serious visit?" Sun Quan looked at the invitation post, slightly surprised: "Did he come in through the main entrance?"

"back door!"

"I just said, he's not so aboveboard, let him in!" Sun Quan sneered.

"Yes!"

Soon a man in black wearing a bamboo hat seemed to blend his body into the darkness, and his steps were light. Even if you felt him by your side, you didn't seem to be able to figure out his position.

After walking in, the shadow was reflected under the reflection of the oil lamp.

"Go down!"

Sun Quan retreated to the left and right, and said, "My study is ten meters in radius, no one is allowed to approach, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

These personal guards are all Sun Quan's direct descendants. He has been intelligent since he was a child. When his father was still there, he gave him a lot of power to cultivate his own direct descendants, so he also has a group of loyal people around him.

Even above Wu Guochaotang, there are quite a few supporters.

Sun Quan stood up, took a step forward, looked at the black shadow, and said, "You people from the Ming court, do you dare to submit invitations so openly?"

The visitor was the envoy of the Ming court.

He has seen it once.

But that time, the conversation was not very pleasant, and he also had his own persistence, so he was unwilling to let go of his figure, and he didn't even pay much attention to it.

However, with the changes in the current situation, he had to re-establish the connection of this line.

"Didn't the second prince say that the next time I see you, I have to be fair and aboveboard?" Hei Ying put down his bamboo hat, revealing a dark and cold face.

Daming Jingwu Division, Commander of the Right Division, Zhao Xin.

A eunuch.

But he was the most trusted person of Emperor Ming Dynasty Mujing, and also one of Mujing's eyes and ears.

"Going through the back door is considered fair and aboveboard?"

Sun Quan sneered.

"The back door is also a door!" Xin Zhao smiled slightly, that smiling face gave people a chilling feeling, even Sun Quan, who was standing three steps away, shuddered.

"You really make sense!"

Sun Quan didn't care too much.

He sat down, his gaze was dark, the emerald green light flickered in his cold eyes, and a trace of coldness rose up, covering the entire study.

"Last time I said, if you dare to come and I dare to kill, are you really not afraid that I will ambush you?"

Sun Quan asked suddenly: "I am the younger brother of King Jiangdong Wu, the first heir to the Jiangdong court, and also a descendant of the Sun family. It is justice to kill you Minggou!"

Jiangdong and the Ming court, the blood feud cannot be overstated, they have been killed for so many years, and they have lost so much, even Sun Jian has been damaged. For Jiangdong, the hatred of killing his father is irreconcilable.

"It is indeed possible!"

Xin Zhao smiled calmly, with a fearless look on his face: "But after weighing the risks and benefits, I think it's a matter of course to see the second prince again!"

"You Muming people are not afraid of death!" Sun Quan was somewhat moved.

In Jiangdong, there are not no talents, but there are very few talents who can achieve this step. In fact, most of the talents come from larger families.

Including Zhou Yu, whom Sun Ce valued the most, is he not a member of the aristocratic family.

People in the aristocratic family respect the interests of the aristocratic family more, and they care more about Wu's interests and the future of the court, and his little life.

"fear death!"

Zhao Tao: "We only have one life, and we are afraid of death, but for the sake of the future, for a peaceful and prosperous world, we can do whatever it takes!"

"Why?" Sun Quan didn't understand. Anyone could say a slogan, and the country of Wu could also fight for the peace of the world, but why some people believed it, while others scoffed at it.

He is young, but he has experienced a lot, but there are some things that he still can't figure out, can't figure out.

When Mu Jing was in Luoyang, when the Mu clan was defeated, he was only a young man, and he was still surrounded by the princes of Guanzhong. The army broke out of the siege, and only then did the Ming court become today.

The establishment of the Ming court was tantamount to excavating the foundation of the Han Dynasty. Even if the Han Dynasty escaped this catastrophe, even if the Ming Dynasty was defeated, the Han Dynasty would not exist in the future. People who want to replace them, all in all, the Han Dynasty will have no future.

This is the feeling of people all over the world after the establishment of the Ming court.

But this still makes Sun Quan think that it is not very famous, why Mujing is so young, but has such a loyalty that can make countless people follow him, even at the cost of his life.

"Some people say something, and some people do it. This is the truth!"

Xin Zhao is often willing to talk to smart people like Sun Quan, because people like Sun Quan understand everything, and they don't need to be too straightforward to understand.

Also, people like Sun Quan can think through many things, so in many cases, they don't need to make up too many lies to persuade them.

"Your Majesty's words may be doubted by some people, but what His Majesty does never disappoints. The world is moving towards the future peace step by step!"

Xin Zhao said with a smile: "And I firmly believe that the future of my Ming Dynasty will be even more brilliant, surpassing the super prosperity of the Qin and Han Dynasties!"

"confidence!"

Sun Quan said indifferently: "This is an advantage, but if you don't know what it means, it is a disadvantage. I don't know if you are too confident, maybe it is conceited!"

"It doesn't matter, we firmly believe in what we do, and I firmly believe that we can do it!"

Xin Zhao smiled whoever wins.

"Don't gossip!" Sun Quan thought for a while, but he still didn't let Zhao Xin continue. He was afraid that he would be brainwashed. The knowledge brought by Ming Shu was enough to make him a young man excited, but he couldn't ignore Jiang Dong's words. Benefit.

"Then you have to ask, since the second prince has already refused to join us, why did he invite me here? What's the point!"

Xin Zhao shrugged and said.

His proactive attitude has passed. Since Sun Quan took the initiative, he has to make some decisions. The future conditions must be re-negotiated.

But no matter what, Sun Quan will not let go of this line.

Jiangdong must not become an obstacle to Ming's unification of the world. If it attacks head-on, the casualties will be astronomical. After all, Jiangdong has many rivers and the defense will be much stronger.

At this time, if someone can unite from within, then the Ming army can easily occupy Jiangdong.

"Zhou Gongjin knew that I was in Jianye, you must have given me the news!" Sun Quan asked suddenly.

"Yes!"

Xin Zhao nodded: "It's either a friend or an enemy. Since you are an enemy, then I must teach you a lesson!"

"If Zhou Gongjin killed me directly in Jianye, wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to fetch water from the bamboo basket?" Sun Quan asked coldly.

He sneaked back to Jianye, not because he had any other intentions, but he also had some thoughts of his own, such as increasing his reputation when Sun Bofu was unfavorable in the battle.

However, Zhou Gongjin suddenly got mad and drove him out quietly, which proved that it was even more impossible for him to go back.

In addition, the news of the northern battlefield kept coming back, which made him a little restless.

At the beginning, he was really unwilling to cooperate with the Ming court. When the Ming army set fire to Jianye City and let his father die in battle, why didn't he feel pain in his heart.

This was originally a blood feud.

But any hatred, in the face of reality, is so pale.

He may not even be able to protect himself, and he still cares about hatred, so contacting the envoy of the Ming court is the most important move he has made.

"First of all, Zhou Yu is a very smart person. He is smarter than you can imagine. Such a person will have some shortcomings in doing things, such as not being decisive enough!"

Xin Zhao calmly analyzed: "He wants to kill you, he has a chance, but he can't ignore Sun Ce's thoughts, he actually cares more about the friendship between him and Sun Ce than Jiangdong's future, this is a big mistake of selfishness righteous man!"

This is not a derogatory term, but a compliment.

Selfishness, righteousness, sometimes you can’t say that a righteous person is a good person. You have to be relative. How many people have lost their homes and property for justice, and even their wives and children have broken up, and their families have been destroyed. Compared with their relatives, this kind of justice, sometimes Let a person become cold-blooded.

Zhou Yu has great righteousness, but he cares more about some personal feelings. For example, between him and Sun Ce, the brotherhood may be more important than the relationship between the monarch and his subjects. If the relationship between the monarch and his subjects is deeper, he may kill Sun Quan after he is alone.

"Are you accurate in your analysis?"

Sun Quan's pupils froze, and there was a chill in his heart. Presumably, the Ming court would have a detailed investigation report on most of the ministers in Jiangdong.

"That's natural!"

Zhao Dao: "I, Jingwu Division, exist, and this is the job. Analyzing each of you is our job!"

"Great!"

Sun Quan applauded a little.

He gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "In this case, analyze it, can I cooperate with you after being betrayed by you!"

"I think it can!"

Xin Zhao nodded.

"Why do you still have such self-confidence!" Sun Quan clenched his fists: "I hate being betrayed the most. Whoever betrays me, I don't mind fighting him to the death!"

"You, Sun Zhongmou, are not such a person. In the face of humiliation, Sun Bofu will die, but Sun Zhongmou will endure. Our Majesty once commented on you two brothers, and I personally think it is very pertinent!"

Xin Zhao said.

"Is that so, I really want to know what Da Mingzi thinks of our brother!"

Sun Quan said.
