In the traditional Confucian view, the morality of the king and the morality of the country are what should be shown to the world as the heart of the world and as the kingdom of heaven.
This kind of morality is the so-called demeanor of a big country, which teaches everyone to be polite and polite. They do not use their power to suppress small countries, and they do not bully weak countries. This view cannot be wrong, but in Zhu Yunxu's heart, he definitely does not think he is right.
He always believed that such views and attitudes lacked blood.
The consistent rule of the world for thousands of years is the law of the jungle where the jungle prevails. When you are strong, treat others with kindness, but others may not be grateful. On the contrary, when you are weak, they can bully you unscrupulously.
Just like a person, when he is prosperous, he will naturally have friends all over the world. But when you have no money, who will help you? Not only will they not help, but they will also step on you.
In his view, big countries want to bully small countries and are arrogant.
For example, Mao Zi, if the polar bear tells any country in the world, what do you think? No country dares to say, "I'm not interested in you." If he tells any country, "Practice, practice, practice!" No one dares to say, "Practice, practice, practice, practice!"
At that time, the machinations that had been in our blood for thousands of years were not so stupid. Swords and culture went hand in hand, silently expanding. Hundreds of years later, how could the Saxons run wild in the world?
The old man thought for a long time and then said, "Between us, please don't mince words. What do you think?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and then said sternly, "Grandpa Huang, the war in Datong reminded my grandson of something. Our Ming Dynasty now has strong soldiers and horses, but even though we are separated by three forks and five north Yuan Dynasty, we still invade the border. Why is this?"
"We are too passive!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "Bei Yuan can attack whenever he wants, and retreat whenever he wants. There are only those who were thieves the day before yesterday, and there are no thieves who guarded against thieves the day before yesterday. We can't guard against them. In the final analysis, we are the nine sides.
It’s set too far back!”
Remember https://m in one second.
With that said, Zhu Yunxi sat down next to the old man, marked it with the snacks on the table, and said, "Look, for example, this is Peiping, and outside Peiping are the guards of Liaodong, but the land thousands of miles away from these places,
They are all Bei Yuan’s hiding places!”
"Since the founding of the Republic of China, there have been several expeditions to the north. Although the Northern Yuan Dynasty was exhausted, the money and food consumed by the Ming Dynasty were also hundreds of millions. Sun'er thought, it would be better to set up military guards along the line to continuously push our Ming Dynasty's front line forward.
push."
"With these frontline military guards, Bei Yuan cannot avoid them if they want to go south. If you are afraid of wasting the people and damaging the money, then we won't use our people or our money."
"The King of Korea has repeatedly requested to be enthroned, so we will sacrifice some blood to show our sincerity. He recruits civilians to help us build. The imperial court guards with elites, and all the prisoners who are exiled every year are distributed. Every year, food is collected from the nearest North Korea to provide sufficient supplies.
The grain depot of the military guards shared the financial burden with Ming Dynasty."
"In this way, within a few years, our territory will become larger and larger, and Beiyuan's hiding place is constantly being squeezed by us. Don't we take the initiative?"
"This is not only the case in Liaodong, but also in the Qin and Jin Dynasties. Although there is no vassal state for the second uncle and the third uncle. For the time being, it seems that the investment in money and food is the largest, but no matter how big it is, it will not be greater than the cost of fighting. Just this time,
When Fu Youde led his troops to Datong, the food and drink for tens of thousands of people on the way and the materials and money for the departure were enough to build several military guards!"
"Slowly, military guards evolved into cities. The more soldiers and people of the Ming Dynasty on the border, the more stable they became. Moreover, these cities could completely protect the original land and isolate the war from the heart of the Ming Dynasty!"
The old man thought for a long time and then said, "Whatever else is on your mind, just say it!"
"Take Liaodong as an example. Since the founding of the Kingdom of China, the important towns in Liaodong in the Northern Yuan Dynasty have been conquered and annexed one after another. You have great talent and strategy and set up a vassal guard station in Liaodong. In addition to the fourth uncle in Peiping, the most advanced guard in Guangning was given to the King of Liao for ten years.
Fourth Uncle. But according to the territory of the previous dynasty, it is still too far back!"
"My grandson wants to restore the Tieling Guards." At this point, Zhu Yunxi finally revealed his true purpose and said, "Now that the Tieling Guards are in North Korea's hands, let them give them up. Not only do they have to let them go, but they also need to use their people's money and food to build them.
"
"With the Tieling Guards, the Liaodong Dusi military guards no longer have to defend, but can directly fight out, and better control Liaodong, and govern the various tribes in Liaodong. This greatly expands the space of the Liaodong guards!"
"Between Tieling Guard and Guangning Guard, set up four guards of Jin, Fu, Hai and Gai. In this way, they will be connected in layers and become a military force that can support each other. It can suppress North Korea and prevent it from peeping into Liaodong.
This land will make the Northern Yuan Dynasty unable to gain a foothold in Liaodong."
"Although North Korea seems to be respectful, how can you spit out the meat in your mouth!" The old man said thoughtfully, "In your heart, you still want to attack North Korea!"
"It's not that my grandson wants to fight, but the Tieling Guards are related to the long-term stability of Liaodong!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "Liaodong is flat, and the north is flat. The fourth uncle is in charge of the Liaodong Dusi, plus the army of the fourteenth uncle, from Peking to Guangning Guards
, with nearly 100,000 soldiers."
"With the addition of the Tieling Guards, not only can Liaodong be stabilized and the barbarians be frightened. In the future, they can also be used as an outpost to directly attack the right wing of the Mongolian Plateau. Moreover, the Tieling Guards are equivalent to putting a knife on the tip of North Korea's nose, and they will do whatever they ask them to do.
What to do."
Seeing that the old man's expression had changed a little, he hesitated. Zhu Yunxi said again, "Grandpa Huang, if we don't do these things while our Ming Dynasty is strong and our troops are strong, my grandson may say it is not nice. Future generations are used to being comfortable, so they won't do it either."
"If my grandson says anything even worse, our Ming Dynasty may not be able to continue to have a strong army and horses."
After speaking, Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man hopefully.
Unexpectedly, the old man said, "You didn't say that we haven't noticed yet. The area under your fourth uncle's jurisdiction is actually so large. There are so many soldiers from Liaodong Dusi."
"Grandpa, my grandson said he wanted to restore the Tieling Guards, but he didn't mean anything to his fourth uncle." Zhu Yunxi said, "My grandson, he is just thinking about the territory of the Ming Dynasty! Besides, my grandson knows that although he is in charge of the Liaodong capital, the Fourteenth
But he can't command his uncle's troops. In the future, when the nineteenth uncle, King Han, will rule Kaiyuan, and the twenty-first uncle, King Shen, will rule Shenyang, they will again divide power, men, and troops from his hands."
"There are some things that both of us understand! My grandson knows your hard work, and he also knows that we are all a family behind closed doors. He doesn't care about it that much." Zhu Yunxi continued, "What my grandson thinks about.
, just the Ming Dynasty.”
The old man crossed his legs and leaned on the soft couch, "Restoring the Tieling Guards is not a one-time effort, it will take three to five years!" After saying that, the old man stood up and sat down, and said, "First, let North Korea go and let Honglu Temple go.
Fight with them and see what he says!"
"Then my grandson sent a letter to the fourteenth uncle of the King of Liao, asking him to prepare troops and horses. When the war in Datong is over, adapt to the situation!" Zhu Yunxi said.
The old man still acquiesced to Zhu Yunxi's intention. Restoring the Tieling Guards was not only beneficial to the military, but also demonstrated the Ming Dynasty's legal inheritance of all the territories of the previous Dynasty Yuan Dynasty.
Once this matter was decided, secret preparations began.
The next day, Fu Youde led his troops out of Beijing. The old man and Zhu Yunxi stood at the top of the Hongwu Gate to see off the army.
The people in the capital also fought against each other. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they had almost won every battle. The people in the capital had also developed an arrogant temper. In their view, when the Ming Dynasty king's army went to war, the thieves would definitely be killed.
When Lan Yu went on an expedition earlier, he wore silver armor, gold helmets, and official flags for miles, while Fu Youde was like an ordinary veteran, riding a war horse and wearing old armor, without any trace of the spirit of a commander.
Master Wang lost his spirit, and the people looked a little less interested. It was not until Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's guard of honor appeared that the people cheered loudly.
Zhu Yunxi looked down from the top of the city and saw the marching army. Dozens of armored guards surrounded Li Jinglong and marched forward mightily.
Immediately, Li Jinglong was wearing gorgeous armor, showing no anger and self-importance, and he did look a bit like a general.
Knowing that the emperor and the emperor's grandson were watching from the top of the city, Li Jinglong, who was on the war horse, suddenly stood up in his stirrups, looked back at the top of the city, and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I swear I will not return you until you break the thieves' slaves!"
After he finished shouting, dozens of private military servants from Cao Guogong's Li family around him shouted, "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious! Long live your majesty, and a thousand live the grandson of the emperor!"
Immediately afterwards, the army burst out with a thundering cry, "Long live your Majesty, a thousand live the Emperor's grandson!"
At the top of the city, Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jinglong showing off his power below the city, and laughed and cursed in his heart, "This guy!"
After showing off to the city, Li Jinglong sat on the horse again, holding back the pain in his buttocks and pretending as if nothing had happened.
Looking at the Ming Dynasty tigers advancing like a forest beside him, Li Jinglong thought to himself, "Actually, fighting is quite majestic!"

My mind is groggy, and I have written it several times but am still not satisfied. In my opinion, what the hell is it...
