Chapter 83: Ming Dynasty, seclusion, a dead end

In the prison room.

Lin Che put down the wine cup, and Zhu Xi quickly stepped forward to fill the wine cup.

Lin Che nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"We still have to talk about Qin."

"Once the enemy is strong, Qin will close the door and develop on its own; when the enemy is weak, it will organize its troops and horses to rush out of Hangu Pass. It can be said that it can advance, attack, retreat and defend!"

"Our Ming Dynasty should do the same!"

Glancing at Zhu Xi, who was sitting neatly and listening to the lecture, Lin Che asked:
"I said this, do you understand what I mean?"

Hearing Lin Che's question, Zhu Xi scratched his scalp. He could only say that he had only a partial understanding of Lin Che's interpretation of "The World."

Zhu Xi didn't understand much, but Zhu Yuanzhang, who was separated by a wall, was shocked.

"From the small map...to the big map?"

"It actually contains such a truth!"

"In this way, only the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty in the history of China took the wrong path and were bullied by foreign races."

"It goes without saying that the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty..."

"Even the Mongolian Tatars know how to conquer foreign lands, expand territories, and absorb foreign resources on the big map."

Zhu Yuanzhang held the handle of the chair tightly, bit his lips tightly, and murmured:

"So that's how it is... that's how it is!"

"We understand!"

"No wonder Mr. Lin has been criticizing our country governance strategy..."

"It turns out that I almost led Daming into a dead end!"

"No matter how powerful China is, it is impossible to withstand the siege of seventy or even seven hundred countries!"

"Just like the 'Five Kingdoms Conquer Qi' during the Warring States Period...it almost divided up the most powerful Qi Kingdom."

Lin Che used vivid examples to suddenly open up Zhu Yuanzhang's blocked thinking, which gave him a feeling of enlightenment.

While shocked, he also broke into a cold sweat.

"Father!"

Zhu Biao, who had been writing furiously, also stopped writing and couldn't help but say:

"I believe that what Mr. Lin said is by no means alarmist."

"Looking at the long history of China, Han culture has been passed down for thousands of years. Although it encountered several major crises, it was ultimately saved."

"But history has been passed down to the Song Dynasty. The imperial courts of the Song Dynasty did not want to make progress, and they ruined the foundation passed down by their ancestors, wiped out the bloody spirit of the Han people, and broke the backbone of the Han people..."

"As a result, the Central Plains dynasty fell into the hands of foreigners for the first time, and the Han people became the lowest class of people, enslaved by foreigners, a great shame and humiliation!"

Zhu Biao's eyes were firm and he said seriously:

"Father!"

"The two Song dynasties were unwilling to make progress, and the foreigners destroyed the country and allowed us Han people to be enslaved. This is God's punishment for us Han people!"

"...We in the Ming Dynasty must not go back to the old path!"

"Seclusion is a dead end."

"The Ming Dynasty is in danger if we sit back and eat nothing!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was thoughtful and said sadly:
"The boss is right!"

"When we formulated those policies, our ideas were too simple!"

"I'm stuck in a dead end and I can't get out..."

"Thanks to Mr. Lin for waking up in time!"

"Otherwise... maybe we will become eternal sinners!"

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up melancholy, walked to Zhu Biao, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Boss, it's all our fault. After a few good days, we can't help but feel a little bit reluctant to let go, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Biao stood up, bowed and said:
"Father, don't blame yourself!"

"My son, I have never blamed you, and the common people in the world have never blamed you!"

"We in the Ming Dynasty closed our doors, relied on our own efforts, and were self-sufficient. My father wanted all the people in the world to live a good life. Your original intention is correct!"

Zhu Biao said, stood up straight and said in a deep voice:

"However, we Han people are descendants of the Yan and Huang people, and we are born with the important task of reviving China!"

"The small map made by our ancestors is not meant for future generations to just live in idly ways!"

Hear this.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily and patted the prince:
"As expected of our Lao Zhu's son!" "Our crown prince and crown prince of the Ming Dynasty is, to say the least, beautiful!"

"What you said has touched my father's heart!"

"When we return to the palace, we will burn all the crappy things I wrote and abolish all the rules!"

"It's useless, it can only do bad things!"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment by what Zhu Yuanzhang said, and subconsciously asked:

"Father, what are they?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened and he waved his hand:
"Don't ask too many questions, it's not a good thing anyway!"

"You still take your notes, these have nothing to do with you!"

see.

Zhu Biao shrank his neck and sat back in his seat obediently, as if he had guessed something...

It should be what Mr. Lin said he did the wrong thing and took the wrong path.

My father has set up a lot of rules for the descendants of the Zhu family. This is what my father said!

……

the other side.

Zhu Xi went through what Lin Che said in his mind.

He looked up at the other party and said with difficulty:
"According to what Mr. Wang said, this campaign of conquering the four directions and expanding the territory is not a militancy at all, but a matter of following the wishes of our ancestors!"

"But the civil servants in the court had strong opinions about the emperor sending troops to Mobei. They advised the emperor to stop fighting and recuperate with the people."

"Isn't this contrary to the wishes of our ancestors?"

Lin Che slapped the table with her hand and said solemnly:
"These civil servants know how to fart. Don't take these rotten words to heart."

"If you look at history, it is not difficult to find that emperors from ancient times to the present will not get any good reviews in history books as long as they are not manipulated by these civil servants."

"Compared with those civil servants who turned their hands into clouds and rain during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, these civil servants are much different now. If you listen to the words of these corrupt scholars, your country will be destroyed sooner or later."

Lin Che paused after saying this and continued:

"The weak will be beaten, and the same applies to the country."

"The resources in the world are limited. If you have more, I will have less."

"In an era full of competition, the strong will become stronger and the weak will perish."

"What Ming Dynasty has to face is a major change that has not happened in a thousand years."

"In the future, the general trend of the world may be reshuffled. Whether the dragon of China will remain standing, or whether it will turn from prosperity to decline, be looked up to by other countries, and bullied by barbarians, will be laid by the Ming Dynasty!"

Lin Che spoke so passionately that Zhu Ping couldn't help but stand up, clapped her hands and applauded, saying excitedly:

"What Mr. said is very satisfying!"

After saying that, he suddenly left the table and gave Lin Che a deep bow:
"Students are taught!"

Hands up, full of respect.

In response, Lin Che waved her hands lightly:
"Don't be too polite!"

"The course taught today is a bit deep. It may not be suitable for you now. When you reach a certain position, you will have a deep understanding."

"Forget it if you don't understand. As long as you understand that in this world, there is always only the law of the jungle where the strong bullies the weak and the big bullies the small."

This statement came out.

A secret room separated by a wall.

Father and son, you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other.

There was a moment of silence.

"Father...is it that simple and crude?"

"Well, it's a bit rough, but what Mr. Lin said seems to make sense!"

Faced with Zhu Biao's hesitation, Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously:

"There is no reason why countries should take advantage of their illness to take their lives while they have diplomatic relations with each other."

"For example, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Jurchen clan huddled in the jungles of Liaodong, can we let them recuperate?"

"Have you forgotten everything Mr. Lin said before?"

"If there are remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the grassland, or if another overlord emerges from the Jurchen clan and integrates the forces of all tribes, our Ming Dynasty will only face greater threats."

"As the emperor and the lord of the Ming Dynasty, you need to take a longer view. Our vision is bad enough. You can't learn from us..."

"Mr. Lin is right. When you come to power, you should listen to Mr. Lin's opinions more!"

Zhu Biao nodded in agreement, looking at the wall and listening to the urn, thoughtfully...
