Ming Dynasty: Evolution from snake to national guardian beast

Chapter 63 If ​​you want to extend your life, it’s the right time

"Han Wu once said that foreigners are like beasts. They fear power but do not have bad virtues."

"If we let it go today, then the Jurchen clan will definitely get worse in the future."

"I think we should take the opportunity to send troops and destroy the Jurchen tribe."

Bai Guang's words surprised everyone.

This is the cruelest thing they have ever heard. If they disagree, their clan will be destroyed. How cruel is this?

Even Zhu Di was shocked by this scene. He had never thought that Mr. Bai, who had always been gentle, could have such a cruel side.

Although Zhu Di wanted to punish the Jurchens, he had no intention of destroying the Jurchens.

You know, the Jurchens have a very wide sphere of influence. From the Songhua River to the north of the Songhua River, everything is the Jurchen territory.

It is conceivable that they want to catch all these Jurchens and wipe out their race.

"Cough cough."

Zhu Di coughed slightly, breaking the silence in the camp.

"Mr. Bai is right. We are not the same race. What they did today is unforgivable."

"However, with our current strength, it is a bit difficult to destroy the Jurchens."

"I think we should pick a Jurchen tribe that poses the greatest threat to the Ming Dynasty and attack it."

"As the saying goes, kill the chicken to scare the monkey. With this incident, the Jurchens will no longer dare to invade our territory of the Ming Dynasty!"

What the prince said is absolutely true.

"Seconded."

Zhu Di's proposal won the support of many people, including Zhang Yu Zhu Neng and Ning Wang Zhu Quan.

Bai Chu knew history well, and he knew the dangers of the Jurchens better than anyone here.

After all, no one expected that two hundred years later, such a weak country would defeat the powerful Ming Dynasty.

Ruled China in an extremely cruel and bloody way.

The Three Massacres in Jiading and the Ten Days in Yangzhou turned the once prosperous Jiangnan into ruins.

The various crimes committed by the Jurchens against the Han people in China are too numerous to describe.

Now that Bai Chu has caught up, he will naturally not give up easily.

"My lord, I don't think it's okay."

Bai Chu said categorically:
  "The Jurchens are ferocious by nature. These people live in the Liaodong region. As time goes by, their population will one day increase."

"And we Han people also want to thrive in Liaodong and will continue to expand towards the Jurchens."

"Although our main business is farming, there are countless game animals, furs, herbs, ginseng, etc. in the mountains. We can't leave them all to the Jurchens, right?"

"Once the Han people in Liaodong entered the mountains, the Jurchens would naturally not give up. The conflict started and a big war followed."

"The conflict between us and the Jurchen tribe is a racial conflict. It is a life-and-death war. It must not be treated as a child's play."

"As soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, we have the responsibility to open up territory for the people of the Ming Dynasty so that they can live and work in peace and contentment."

"The existence of the Jurchens is a deterrent to us Han people. As long as we eradicate them all, the people of Liaodong can live a carefree life and become richer."

Bai Chuyue spoke louder and louder. In his words, the Jurchen War had reached a point where it was about the life and death of the entire race.

This is the famous national crisis theory. These Jurchens influenced the people of the Ming Dynasty to live a good life. Life without the Jurchens would be a good life.

Bai Chu's words once again shocked everyone present. No one expected that Bai Chu's hatred for the Jurchens would be so deep.

Everyone was secretly guessing that Bai Chu's family was probably killed by the Jurchens, otherwise why would Bai Chu hate them so much.

But Bai Chu's remarks did not convince the lieutenant general in the tent. Because even if Bai Chu wants to kill the Jurchens again, the reality is that the Jurchens are hidden in the mountains and forests and cannot be found at all. How to destroy them.

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Because of Bai Chu's face, everyone couldn't say anything. However, as Prince Ning, Zhu Quan is still qualified to say a few words.

"Mr. Bai, I don't know how big the grudge is between you and that Jurchen."

But one thing is certain, it will take decades or even hundreds of years to destroy the Jurchens. "

"The price we have to pay far exceeds the value of this goal."

"Master Bai, I think we should not get entangled with the Jurchens here. We have more important things to do."

As soon as Zhu Quan said this, everyone nodded. Who has so much time to waste time here with the Jurchens?

Those Jurchens are like rabbits. When they burrow into the forest, no one can be found.

Seeing that everyone agreed with Zhu Quan's statement, although Zhu Di believed it more, he decided to continue implementing his plan.

Just when Zhu Di was about to speak, Bai Chu stopped Zhu Di again. He looked directly at Zhu Di with a pair of bright eyes, and said sonorously and forcefully: "Your Majesty, please shield me. I have something important to tell you."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the camp.

Although Bai Chu has won Zhu Di's trust, now he wants to send everyone away and have a few words with Zhu Di in private, which is a bit too much.

After all, they are Zhu Di's most trusted people, and Bai Chu is just an outsider.

Zhang Yu couldn't sit still and stood up.

"My lord, this is white..."

"It's all gone."

Before Zhang Yu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Di.

This time, no one knew what to say. Although Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu and Qiu Fu were not convinced, they still retreated dejectedly under Zhu Di's eyes.

Zhu Di has been in contact with Bai Chu for so long, and he also knows that Bai Chu will never do this if there is no big deal.

And when Bai Chu did this, it meant that he really had something big to report.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to let his cronies leave.

Zhu Di knew that Bai Chu was avoiding a certain person, and that person was Ning Wang Zhu Quan.

But if only Prince Ning is allowed to go, Zhu Quan may not be happy.

After everyone retreated, Zhu Di turned to look at Bai Chu and asked, "Mr. Bai, what happened again that made you want to be so cautious?"

Zhu Di looked at Bai Chu with some anxiety, fearing that Bai Chu would say something shocking.

Bai Chu looked serious and asked extremely seriously:
  "My lord, do you still remember the method of extending life?"

Zhu Di was startled, then overjoyed and quickly replied:

"I think about it. Did Mr. Bai think of something? "..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di seemed to think of something, but quickly gave up the idea.

"But I remember that Mr. Bai once told me that the method of extending life requires a lot of incense. Have you accumulated enough incense?" Bai Chu denied: "The number of incense varies greatly, but I have another one. Methods can extend life span.”

"There happens to be an opportunity now. I wonder if the prince is interested?"

"Mr. Bai, just say it, as you said, as long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water, no matter what!"

Zhu Di's face showed a hint of excitement. When he thought that his father was already old and frail, and his time was running out, he wished he could immediately complete the method Bai Chu said.
