Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 713 Rewriting History
After closing the window, Li Jing pulled Zhu Youjian back to his seat and poured Zhu Youjian a cup of tea. Li Jing smiled and said: "Sometimes the name is really useless, but sometimes it is very useful. Just For example, we have sent troops to Myanmar and other countries in the past few years under the banner of recovering the lost land, because these places used to be our territory of Ming Dynasty, and before Annan, it was the Ming Dynasty’s Cochin succession and declared the political envoy. For this reason, it is justifiable for us to send troops .

But if there is no such reason, then we are aggression.Although it seems to be aggression now, but we have this name, so it is justifiable for us to send troops.

The same is true of Luzon, Manga and other places. These places used to be vassal states of Ming Dynasty, but were later occupied by Portugal and Spain. Now that we have taken them back, no one has anything to say.

Now those countries in the west want to make peace with our Ming Dynasty, so I just want them to admit that these places are the territory of Ming Dynasty, so that when they make maps in the future, these places have to show the words of Ming Dynasty, and if there are these things as evidence, then we are clearly Aggression is not aggression. "

Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Marshal, I don't know if I should say something or not?" Wang Chengen said suddenly.

Li Jing smiled and raised his hand: "Cheng En, tell me."

"Thank you, Commander." Wang Chengen cupped his hands, and then said: "That's right, Commander, after we occupy these countries and regions, although we can force other countries, even these local countries, such as Toungoo and Annan Admit that these places are Ming's territory, but they can also find reasons to overthrow our reasons in the future."

"Overthrow?" Li Jingwen said with a sneer: "Since I have included these countries into the territory of Ming Dynasty, how can I allow them to overthrow!"

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "Actually, what they want to find the reason to overthrow is to find it from the history books, but what is history, let me put it in a harsh way, history is a little girl who can be dressed up by others, we are Rulers, then we can write the history of these places as we want.

And we don’t have to make it up completely. I think we can use Annan as a fuss. Annan has been Chinese territory since the Tang Dynasty. I remember that the Tang Dynasty established the Annan Protectorate in Annan, which was under the jurisdiction of Guangdong.

Until the end of the Tang Dynasty, the warlords in the Tang Dynasty were separatist, and wars were frequent. The Annan Hao clan... I forgot what the song came from (Note: Qu Chengyu), took the opportunity to stand on their own, and proclaimed themselves the Jinghai Jiedushi. After acknowledging the envoy of Jinghai Jiedu, Annan gradually broke away from China's control, and finally became a country on his own.During the Zhao and Song Dynasties, Annan became a vassal of the Song Dynasty, and became a vassal state of China from then on, until the current dynasty took Annan back and established the Jiaozhi Chengxuan Political Envoy Department.

What I said are all historical facts, not nonsense, we can use this to make a fuss.

You must know that places like Myanmar were not yet established during the Tang Dynasty, so who is in charge of these places?We can completely say that it is under the control of Datang, then these places are the territory of Datang, that is, our Chinese territory. "

Wang Cheng'en said: "Although the commander-in-chief's method is good, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win people's trust. After all, these countries have been established for many years, how can no one record their own history?"

Li Jing sneered: "It's not easy. Let's just erase their history. Anyway, we will promote the culture of the Han people in these places in the future. What's the use of keeping the characters of these countries? All are destroyed. In our Ming Dynasty Now, only one kind of script is allowed, and that is Chinese characters.”

"This... Marshal, forgive me for speaking bluntly, you are risking the disgrace of the world, and you will bear a bad name in the future!" Wang Chengen said anxiously.

Li Jing smiled: "Infamy? What infamy? Burning books and burying scholars? If it's other infamy, I might not dare to recite it, but I can recite this infamy."

With that said, Li Jing turned to look at Su Heng: "Pingzhi, are you willing to recite such infamy?"

Su Heng heard the words and hurriedly said: "Commander, the students don't know what infamy is, but the students know that everything the commander does is for Daming. The students are not talented, but they also want to do their best for Daming, so whatever the commander asks the students to do, the students will What are you doing?"

Li Jing smiled, turned around and looked at Wang Chengen: "Chengen, if you are made to bear such infamy, are you willing?"

Wang Chengen said solemnly: "If the commander-in-chief is willing to hand over this matter to the old slave, the old slave will die and will never retreat."

Li Jing clapped his hands sharply: "Yes! This courage is what we need! Our generation has done all these scolded things, and when the future generations are in power, they don't have to have these worries anymore."

As he said that, Li Jing suddenly smiled: "But we can't be blindly reckless. I said before that you can't conquer a country or a nation by force alone. Material conquest is sometimes more effective than force.

Do you still remember how I subdued those Mongolian tribes outside my mouth?

These countries are no different from the Mongolian tribes. The people there live in extreme poverty. As long as we can let them live a comfortable life, they will slowly turn to Daming.

We have a two-pronged approach, destroying their culture and making them a good life, and after a few decades, I think they will forget who they were before. "

Zhu Youjian sighed softly when he heard the words: "Brother Li, you have been devoting yourself to planning for Daming all day long, but I can't help you much. I deserve to be an emperor!"

Li Jing waved his hands and said with a smile: "Who said the emperor can't help? Actually, the emperor can be of great help."

Zhu Youjian couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and said anxiously: "Brother Li, tell me quickly, what can I do to help? I will definitely do my best."

Li Jing smiled and said: "I just said that to conquer the people of these countries with materials, aren't the emperor's factories just producing those materials for civilian use? For example, ceramics, glass, how can these countries have such exquisite daily necessities?

There is also wine, wine is a good thing, those who cherish their homeland see no hope of restoring their country, they will use wine to anesthetize themselves, and slowly they will be numb by wine, this weapon must be used well. "

Zhu Youjian laughed and said, "Why do I hear that you want me to earn their money?"

Li Jing laughed and said: "If you want to make money, you have to let them make money first, so we have to open factories over there, develop businesses, and let people there have the opportunity to make money, so that you can make money."

Zhu Youjian also laughed when he heard the words.

After laughing for a while, Zhu Youjian said: "Understood, I know what to do. Cheng En, I will leave this matter to you. You look for candidates to set up factories in those places occupied by our Daming, and the workers will be hired locally. .”

Li Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to expand your business, you can't do it on your own. You must know that the initial cost of building these factories is not a small amount. I suggest you ask your sister to borrow several million taels of silver.

In addition, you can also set up several joint-stock companies, with the brand name of the Daming Royal, presumably those businessmen will subscribe for a large number of company shares. "

Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "Why should I ask my sister to borrow money, can I just give up part of the company's equity to my sister?"

Li Jing shook his head and smiled, "I'm afraid your sister doesn't have the energy to manage your factories. How about it, I'll go back tonight and discuss with her to see if she will help you."

Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "I don't see anything wrong with you right now, why don't you go back to your house now, and I'll go back with you. My sister is hard to refuse in front of me, right?"

Li Jing smiled bitterly: "I still have a lot of things to deal with!"

Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "Okay, you should give yourself a day off and have a good rest."

Li Jing shook his head again and again: "How can I abolish the public for personal reasons? You'd better wait until I finish these things."

Zhu Youjian hurriedly said: "What do you mean by abolishing the public for private reasons? I am also a businessman, okay? And you brought up this matter."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian stepped forward and pulled Li Jing up: "Okay, your official affairs may not be more important than mine."

Turning around, he said to Su Heng: "Pingzhi, you can take a look at these official documents. The urgent ones will be dealt with by Duke Xingguo. You can handle small matters."

Su Heng couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, looked at Li Jing, and said hesitantly, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Zhu Youjian glared, and scolded: "You don't know how to be considerate of Duke Xingguo! Duke Xingguo works hard all day, and I let him have a rest. You should help me persuade him, but you still hold me back."

Seeing that Zhu Youjian was angry, Su Heng hurriedly said: "The emperor calms down, but my ministers dare not."

Seeing this, Li Jing smiled and said: "Okay, Pingzhi, you can do as the emperor said."

Seeing that Li Jing agreed, Su Heng hurriedly said, "Yes!"

Li Jing turned around and smiled at Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, let's go now."

Zhu Youjian smiled, waved to Wang Chengen, and left the room side by side with Li Jing.

Out of the room, not far away, suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind him, Li Jing turned around and saw a guard running quickly, seeing Li Jing hurriedly said: "Marshal Qi, just now Master Shen suddenly fell down."

Li Jing was startled when he heard this: "What's going on, why did you fall down?"

The guard hurriedly said: "I don't know about the lowly position, but according to the book office of the household department signing the room, Mr. Shen may be tired."

Li Jing said anxiously: "Have you asked the imperial physician yet?"

The guard hurriedly said: "I have already sent someone to invite you."

Li Jingjing nodded, beckoned to Zhu Youjian and said, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

As he said, he walked quickly to the yamen of the household department, Zhu Youjian sighed, and hurriedly followed.

After a while, the two came to the yamen of the household department.Seeing Li Jing and Zhu Youjian coming, all the officials from the household department hurried over to greet them.Li Jing waved his hand and walked quickly to the signing room.

When I arrived at the signing room, I saw Shen Zheng leaning on the Kang Kang, and several officials stood aside.

Li Jing stepped forward quickly, walked in front of the heated kang, gently held Shen Zheng's hand, and asked in a low voice: "Father-in-law, how do you always feel?"

Hearing Li Jing's voice, Shen Zheng slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Zhu Youjian also coming, Shen Zheng shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "Why did the Emperor even startle?"

Li Jing hurriedly said: "Where is the emperor, I heard that you fell down, come with me to visit you."

Shen Zheng sighed softly: "It was just an accidental fall, don't worry."
