Xin Meng's plea moved several officials present, especially Liu Bowen, Yao Guangxiao, and Gong Bodao. These three people can be said to have very strategic vision, especially Gong Bosui, who was an official in the Yuan Dynasty.
Many vassal states have a deep understanding of this.
How to describe falling into the country?
If the local company is regarded as the parent company, then Luoguo is the subsidiary company below. Anyone who knows a little bit about business operations knows that blindly expanding, establishing countless subsidiaries, and becoming a big fat man will not necessarily bring the most generous profits.
, on the contrary, sometimes you may lose money.
In the case of Luo Guo, the situation may be even worse.
After all, there is legal guarantee behind business operations.
The situation in the country is different. It is really possible for the local management to unite and abolish the shareholder representatives of the parent company... that is, to launch a rebellion, kill the governor, and seize the throne.
Once this happens, you have to either let it go or send troops to attack. If you let it go, you will probably lose control. If you send troops to attack, you have to consider sending troops long distances, wasting money and food, as well as the local mountains and rivers environment and smog. In addition, there are local folk customs, which can
Whether the battle is successful.
If it drags on for a long time and loses troops and generals, can we still persevere...
Even if everything goes well, you may still lose money if you estimate it afterwards.
This is the same in the colonial era. Don't think that the colonies must be submissive, take everything you want, and have no power to fight back.
In fact, there are many examples of the Ruiguang suzerainty relying on its own strength to drag down superpowers to death, or to reverse the situation.
As we all know, India is the jewel in the British crown. Although there are more updates on the British crown than some writers owe, India is definitely the pearl with the highest gold content and the strongest brightness.
Why is this so?
The more money you make from here, the less you pay!
How much money did Great Britain make from India?
Taking numbers as an example, they may not really reflect the value of India... Anyway, Britain relied on the wealth and manpower plundered from India to knock on the door of another big Eastern country and made a lot of money.
Taking advantage of his own strength is really a way for Daying to understand.
This also explains why after losing India, Daying quickly became a leader. He had no choice but to be the best tool. The blood replenishing pack was gone and the game could not continue.
In fact, this principle is even more obvious when it comes to Luo Guo.
After all, the Ming Dynasty lacked great virtue. No matter what, even if it killed 10,000 bloody horses, it would not be able to keep up with the British. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty would almost certainly lose money when dealing with Luo Guo.
When you are strong, you can still spend money to buy face and maintain the tribute system. When financial difficulties arise, you can only avoid it.
This has been the reality throughout the ages.
It happened that Zhang Ximeng proposed a foreign strategy and advocated the establishment of Chinese order.
His set of things is said in a grand and righteous way.
But it is not easy to actually implement it.
So far, there is only one in Ryukyu
Fortunately, Hua Yun finally got the money from Liu Qiu, which gave people hope and prevented him from becoming a grievance, otherwise some people would doubt Zhang Ximeng's ability.
Again, if you want to control the subordinates smoothly and squeeze out the profits without causing chaos in the place... you can't do it without great wisdom, courage, and great virtue.
This is no easy task.
The appearance of Xin Meng gave several people hope. First of all, this man admired Zhang Ximeng and advocated equal division of land.
This determines that he can become Ming's tool man.
Secondly, he had offended the powerful people of Goryeo and could only rely on the support of Ming Dynasty.
Spending a little on him at this time will not cost you much.
You can get a good dog that sings loyally and silently, and can knock on the door of Korea. It’s really not a good idea!
Liu Bowen yawned, and Yao Guangxiao's triangular eyes widened. They were almost ready to agree.
However, Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "Goryeo is not officially a vassal state yet. You came here on the king's order. By talking about these things, are you going beyond the duties of a minister?"
Xin Tan was startled. He never expected that Zhang Ximeng would say this!
Coming here on his own, asking for support from the Ming Dynasty, and eradicating the powerful powers in the country, this is definitely not the intention of the King of Goryeo. He went beyond his duties as a minister, and even colluded with the Ming Dynasty and betrayed Goryeo... This crime cannot be escaped no matter what.
It's just that Zhang Ximeng, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, can say this.
It is indeed admirable that His Royal Highness, Prince Lu, is really a benevolent, righteous and moral gentleman, with unparalleled character, rare in the world... He is indeed the man who makes me fall in love with him, and he is really his idol!
Thinking of this, Xin Meng couldn't help but knelt down, "Your Excellency Zhang, I know this is indeed inappropriate. It's just that the people of Goryeo are suffering too much. In recent years, the Yuan Dynasty has been extorting money, and the powerful people in the country have squeezed the people. The people have no way to live, and every year there are
Thousands of people were forced to death. I implore Xianggong Zhang to think of the common people and save the people of Goryeo! The young monk implores Xianggong!"
After saying that, Xin Yu crawled on the ground, kowtowing loudly and crying.
Zhang Ximeng was startled, "Xin Tang, you are indeed good at caring for the people. But the matter involves the two countries, and it cannot be explained clearly in three or two sentences... You go back to the hotel first and have a good rest.
, if you want to take a walk around Yingtian, we can also arrange for someone to meet your requirements, that’s all, you can go back!"
Zhang Ximeng directly issued an eviction order and asked people to take Xin Tan down.
When they turned around, Liu Bowen and others couldn't help it anymore, "Prime Minister Zhang, we don't understand why you rejected Xin Tong. Could it be that Prime Minister Zhang has a better way?"
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said, "Mr. Bowen, let me ask you, what will happen if we provide support to Xin Tan and let him go to Juntian, Goryeo?"
Liu Bowen was startled, and then said: "Prime Minister Zhang, are you worried that Xin Tan is unreliable? No, I think this person is quite sincere! With the Ming Dynasty's military strength, it is not enough to make Goryeo submit?"
Zhang Ximeng laughed even louder, "Mr. Bowen, I think you made the mistake of leaving the boat in search of a sword."
"Carve a boat and ask for a sword?"
Zhang Ximeng nodded, "What you think you can do in Ming Dynasty can also be done in Goryeo!"
"Then, what's the difference? I think equal division of land is the best thing in the world!"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "Although this is a good thing, we must also consider the situation... Goryeo Elementary School, throughout history, they rarely have peasant uprisings. Every time they changed dynasties, they were all rebellions by powerful officials. This shows one thing... In a country
Within a small area, it is easier for powerful clans to form alliances. They share the same spirit with each other and advance and retreat together. Normally, they can fight endlessly for power and break their heads, but when it comes to the real danger,
, they will unite quickly without any hesitation."
Yao Guangxiao was startled and said with a smile: "What Prime Minister Zhang said is a bit like the princes in the court!"
Zhang Ximeng waved his hand, "This is not fair. After all, our country is too big. There are talents from all over the world. We all have different opinions. For example, this time, Mr. Li impressed me. In comparison,
, the big gentry families in Goryeo are more closely colluded and have less space to display. If I am not mistaken, Xin Ton should be surrounded by enemies on all sides, with huge resistance and unable to move at all, so he found a way to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty."
Zhang Ximeng said calmly: "In this situation, how much price do we have to pay to support him?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Everyone only saw the benefits, but not the sacrifices involved. I have to say that Zhang Ximeng's view of the problem was really different.
In this case, we can only provide Xinton with all support except help.
Zhang Ximeng didn't say that, because he still wanted to understand the situation... Zhang Ximeng asked Chu Qi to ask Mao Gui to see how much the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knew.
Soon Mao Gui came and told Zhang Ximeng that in fact, Goryeo had already launched a reform more than five years ago. The King of Goryeo established the Tianminbianzhengdujian and appointed Xintang as the judge... who was to preside over the clearing of farmland and give it to the poor.
Release land.
Their goal at that time was to expel the red thieves and to eliminate Guan Feng and the others.
It's a pity that there was no way to push him back in Goryeo. Within a few years, Xin Ton became a traitor that everyone wanted to beat.
In order to kill him, the courtiers did not mind wearing a green hat.
Things have developed to this day. Xin Ton went to Ming Dynasty to ask for support. This was the last move. If he succeeded, everything would be easy. If not, he might not be able to go back alive.
The situation in Goryeo is like this. Can supporting Xinton solve the problem?
At this moment, news came from Goryeo... The King of Goryeo had dismissed Xin Tan from his position and abolished his status as an envoy. He also sent important ministers to the Ming Dynasty and requested that Xin Ton be immediately taken back for trial.
!
Another stab in the back of a hero. It’s really not easy to be a good person in this country.
This has been true from ancient times to the present!
Liu Bowen and Yao Guangxiao were already in awe and refused to accept it. Zhang Ximeng saw it accurately.
"Prime Minister Zhang, I'm afraid Xin Meng has become a dead chess piece now and is of little use."
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said: "Mr. Bowen, this is the news I just got from Peiping. According to Guan Duo, Xin Tan is known as a saint among the Korean people!"
Liu Bowen was startled again, "Is that so?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Mr. Bowen said that equal division of land is the best thing in the world. In fact, from a certain perspective, it is right. It's just that in a place like Goryeo, the power of the people is too weak."
Liu Bowen muttered: "Xiang Zhang, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "The situation in Goryeo is very clear. If we want to reform from within, it is simply impossible. We must use strong force to break the deadlock from the outside... And this force cannot be directly acted by us!"
Liu Bowen rolled his eyes, thought about it for a moment, and then he understood.
"Prime Minister Zhang, do you plan to let Xin Teng lead the troops and fight back to Goryeo to implement reforms?"
Zhang Ximeng laughed and said: "Yes, if he is willing, he can go to Peiping immediately and ask King Zheng to provide him with soldiers and horses to recruit Goryeo patriots."
"King Yan? Can he do it?"
Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? If King Zheng is not good enough, then there is Guan Duo, Zhang Dingbian, Zhu Wenzheng, Li Wenzhong, and Hu Dahai! With so many gods, why would Xin Teng support him? He is like this
Aren't you lucky enough?"
Liu Bowen was startled, "But it's not small! Let me say, Korea's blessing is not small!"
