King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 246 Where is the majesty of a great country?

Hear this.

Everyone glanced at each other involuntarily and subconsciously.

How come it has anything to do with the majesty, benevolence, and mercy of the Celestial Empire?

"I'm curious sometimes."

"Do you know where the so-called majesty and kindness of a great country come from?"

"Everyone said that those who are not of my race must have different minds."

"The question is, do you guys really take this statement seriously?"

"Do you have a truly profound understanding and apply this sentence to war, fighting, and facing the enemy?"

"Every time there is a war or battle, as long as others admit defeat, surrender, and surrender, they will just pretend that nothing happened and accept the surrender and surrender of others."

"Why is it that when someone else says something nice, lowers his head, and holds something to distract the beggar, you all smile from ear to ear?"

Not only does it cost manpower and material resources to protect, but the benefits and efforts are not directly proportional at all.

"The grassland is a barren land. Apart from being able to raise some cattle, sheep or horses, it has no other use at all."

"Haven't you ever thought about how the Tatars and Oaras who paid tribute to our Ming Dynasty after being defeated in the past few years started to pay tribute?"

"Yes!"

"Have you never thought about how to earn enough benefits in victory other than the so-called reputation?"

It's completely a question of not paying off.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhu Gaoxu in astonishment, as if they didn't understand the meaning of his words.

The pay is too much and the benefits are pitiful.

"And we must always be on guard against barbarian invasions on the grassland."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu showed a noncommittal sneer on his face, glanced at the three people in front of him as if he were looking at fools, and responded in a deep voice:

"Consuming a lot of manpower and material resources will actually hinder the development of our Ming Dynasty."

Moreover, no one is willing to go to the grassland, even if they want to move the people of the Ming Dynasty there.

"Prince Han."

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanji frowned, pondered for a moment and said:

"The second thing is really not as simple as you think."

After hearing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi glanced at each other in unison, and nodded in agreement with Xia Yuanji's words.

"Long hair, short knowledge."

"Have we never thought about incorporating the occupied land into our country? The problem is such a price. In comparison, it is completely worth the loss and it is meaningless."

Isn’t the benefit that can be earned from war just the increase in land area?
The problem is that as for the grassland area, what is the use even if the planned and occupied area is included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty?

"Then let others live."

"Why not let them claim vassalage and pay tribute according to what we have written, and let them not cede territory, but have to compensate us for our war losses?"

"This will not only earn enough benefits for our Ming Dynasty, but also make up for the silver and food consumed by our war. It can even consume their strength and make them understand the price of defeat. ”

"After this, when these bastards and barbarians start a war again and want to invade our border, they will think carefully and carefully weigh the losses caused by defeat."

"Why has it never been done in so many years that you can kill two birds with one stone?"

War reparations?

Compensation for all war wear and tear? Pay the corresponding price?
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but frown more tightly, and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with disbelief.

It is undeniable that they have never thought about these issues in this way.

You know, for so many years, no matter whether you win or lose, or even invest, it seems to be a matter of one sentence, and you have never said or even thought about the issue of compensation.

Seeing everyone's silence and the expressions on their faces, Zhu Gaoxu instantly understood what they were thinking.

to be honest.

It is not the so-called majesty of a great power.

They look down upon these barbarians and do not think they have any good things. At the same time, they pursue so-called benevolent policies.

Moreover, there is a group of rotten scholars behind the scenes who are pushing and fanning the flames, as well as the barbarians who have lost the battle are complimenting and admitting their mistakes. Each of the superiors has lost himself in the crowd of appreciation, praise, and praise. The thought of face is too heavy.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Gaoxu showed no mercy at all. He directly pointed out the little thoughts in their hearts, Xiao Jiujiu, and said sarcastically:
"okay."

"Stop looking like this. It makes me sick when I look at it."

"Isn't it the so-called Kingdom of Heaven, the Celestial Empire, and serious face-saving thinking?"

"The question is, can we use face as food, or can we avoid fighting a few wars, or even prevent these barbarians from invading our Ming border and not plundering and killing our Ming people?"

"It seems like there aren't any, right?"

"Japanese pirates, Tatars, and Walas. How many times did they not say that they would bow down to our Ming Dynasty, but in the end they never stopped doing what they were supposed to do?"

"Be it the Japanese, Tatars, or Oaras, these countries respect the Ming Dynasty as their celestial dynasty and suzerain state, and they bow their heads and pay tribute. And these people are always invading the borders and even going to war."

"Excuse me, how are the actions of these barbarians different from rebellion?"

"And according to our Ming law, what crime should the rebels face?"

"The one who killed the nine tribes!"

"But what about us?"

"Should you let it go? Lift it high and put it down gently."

"The funniest thing is that wars and wars are instigated and initiated by these barbarians and bastards, but when they end, they end in the mouths of these bastards."

"The war can be started as long as others want, and it can be ended as long as others want."

"Is this the so-called majesty of a great power?"

"No. Tell me, where is the majesty of a great country?"

"where is it?"

"You guys tell me!!!"

Sudden questions and doubts burst out.

The expressions on everyone's faces were in vain, their expressions were as pale as pig liver, and their breaths were like cows. They were stunned on the spot when they were directly questioned and scolded.

Questions and words put the bloody facts before everyone.

It was like a loud slap after another, hitting several people's faces from left to right, showing no mercy at all.

Even though they were so eloquent, they could not find any reason to refute or refute the past.

The old face, which had to be gloomy, fell into shameful contemplation.

The atmosphere in the entire hall instantly became strange and quiet, and no one said a word.
