"It seems crazy to take the initiative. You are gambling with the throne and the fate of the Ming Dynasty. If the first line collapses, everything will be lost. But in fact, is it really just Prince Ning in Zhengde Town?"
Fang Fang looked at the Li brothers.
"It's Chu State!"
Jiangxi is the westernmost part of Yangzhou and is adjacent to Jingzhou. The terrain of Jiangxi is connected by waterways from north to south, and has mountains as a screen to the east and west. Since ancient times, when armies wanted to enter Jiangxi, the best choice was to enter from the direction of Jiujiang. When entering Jiangxi from other directions, you have to face mountains, rivers and hills.
"Zhengde is not a rule-abiding monarch. Looking back at history, we all know that the Chu State was behind King Ning's rebellion. Although it is difficult to cross the mountains and ridges, as long as you give time, the elites of the Shu State can range from tens of thousands to as many as A few hundred thousand can enter the southwestern part of Jiangxi, and even if King Ning is suppressed by then, the Ming Dynasty will still face a protracted war!"
There are routines in war, but you won't follow the routines. Without a certain degree of flexibility, you won't even know you're dead.
"Prince Ning's rebellion is not so much a battle to defend the capital as it is a failed battle for Mingchu!" Fang Fang paused, "Looking at the situation, the truth is the same!"
"It seems like it's just a reversal of the order, but in fact it has a huge impact. Face and lizi. An ordinary monarch wants face, but Zhengde only wants lizi!"
"Besides, with that person's behavior, is he a shameless person?"
We are not afraid of gangsters acting rogue, but we are afraid that gangsters are educated. If this gangster is still an emperor, then the enemy will suffer a heavenly sin.
Putting his hands together and interlacing his fingers, he twisted the equation twice, "No matter which of the three guesses is the most likely, it's time for Kyushu to be in chaos after more than 20 years of peace!"
Forty years ago, the Wu Dynasty passively withdrew from the disputes in Kyushu, closed the door to lick its wounds, and lived its own small life. The scourge in the north was gone, but it did not mean that Kyushu would be peaceful.
Later Tang Dynasty came out of Shu and re-established the prosperous Tang Dynasty, always looking at Guanzhong.
The people of Song Dynasty wanted Hexi to get rid of strategic passivity. After all, whoever gets stuck will know the pain.
The Liao people wanted to expand westward and strangled the Silk Road under the feet of the countries in the western regions.
The power of Chu people and Ming people intertwined with Jiaozhou.
There are not many wars involving more than 10,000 people, but frictions occur every day and explode every month. Regardless of the wise ruler and the ignorant, and the wise and foolish in the court, all countries are exploring possible opportunities in order to survive.
Jiuzhou is also lacking in everything, but there is no shortage of careerists who want to use war to achieve their own goals!
"Twenty years, one generation, it's time for chaos!" Li Yannian rubbed his head, "It's just the wrong time for this chaos!"
The Han people can give birth, and a couple can give birth to three to four children in twenty years. After raising the two children to adulthood, they can even see their grandchildren.
The populations that these breeds produce are both good and bad.
The good thing is that in a country with a poor population, as long as the Wu Dynasty provides food and drink, these people are the best source of soldiers.
The problem lies in overpopulated countries like the Song Dynasty.
No matter what, every twenty or thirty years, all countries in Kyushu will come into contact.
"Now that we are starting to reform, what we need most is peaceful days. If Kyushu is in chaos, the household market may still be able to maintain it, but the effect will be difficult to achieve the desired effect!"
The more you think about it, the higher your expectations will be. Failure to do so will be a mistake.
Reform starts from Mr. Xiang. If you take it seriously now, it will cause trouble in the future.
"Aren't you worried about me?" Fang Fang looked at the two brothers who lowered their heads and frowned, and couldn't help but laugh.
It feels great to be cared about, but Fang Fang is not in a hurry at all.
"Aren't you in a hurry, sir?"
"No one can control the war. Even if our government is not dragged into it, there will definitely be financial problems!"
The Li family grew up due to their military exploits. The descendants who have been passed down to this day may not be able to serve as commanders, but those who can be released are all generals. Their understanding of war is just a lack of experience, but a lack of reference.
"Why the rush?"
Fang Fang smiled and said, "People are good at seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. Wealth is born from people's ideas. Naturally, this should be followed. In times of war, how do ordinary people keep their wealth, and how do rich people keep their wealth?"
"Dig a hole!"
"Burying money in the land, burying it in the mountains, hiding it in the sea is a good method, but it is also risky. If you are not careful, it will become nameless wealth. The tribesmen will flee in all directions. They know that there is this wealth, but they don't know where it is hidden. This has been done since ancient times. Isn’t it too little to sow clearly?”
"What did the Wu Dynasty do now?"
"Banks, interest-paying banks, the Wu Dynasty lacks everything now, not least credibility and reputation. If we are willing to protect their wealth during the war and the threat of displacement, let's not just put it all in, save a It’s not a big problem if Yicheng acts as a backup, right?”
Without opening the windows, the best option is to lift the roof.
No matter how unreliable the money bank was in the Wu Dynasty, what should it be compared with?
Under the threat of destroying their families and genocide, everyone will seize every opportunity they can see and hold on tightly.
"There is no need to guess the probability, as long as there is this possibility, it is enough. To put it bluntly, all the money deposited will be in vain. Even if it is redeemed, it will take at least three or four years, or even no one will accept it forever. !”
"With this money, you can do a lot of things. With wars everywhere, food, ordnance, leather, wood, and all war-related materials will rise. The Wu Dynasty only needs to ensure that the war does not enter the country, and it can mass-produce with the help of foreign money. , if we sell it at a high price, the harder the outside crackdown, the more we will make!”
"If we form an alliance with the grasslands, they raise cattle and sheep, and we sell meat and leather. This seems impossible, but in fact, the probability of success is very high. Do you know why?"
One year for war wealth is equivalent to several years of normal development, and the longer the war goes on, the more ruthless it becomes.
The Bald Eagle took advantage of World War I and World War II to kick Sun Bu Luo off the throne and take the position of overlord himself.
Rabbit took advantage of the Iran-Iraq war to clean up inventory, replenish foreign exchange, and make up for its own shortcomings in the shortest possible time, laying the foundation for future development.
The Wu Dynasty seemed to have nothing, but it had the trump card of "absolute force". The Wu Dynasty would not use force externally, and the five countries would burn incense. Who else except the Song people would invade the Wu Dynasty's borders?
This trump card acts as a deterrent externally and prestige internally.
In the past, too much force was used, making it difficult for people to get close to him for a while. But when the general direction changes, the Wu Dynasty will be the safest haven in Kyushu in the midst of chaos. On this basis, we can formulate policies and unify our thoughts, and we will not have to worry about anyone. Flooded into Wu Dynasty in times of crisis.
"Because of the conquests of various countries, all those who died were Han Chinese!"
Li Yannian is not stupid, but he really doesn't want to say this. Those who are not from my race must have different hearts. This sentence has taught the Han people, and it has also taught the foreigners.
"The words are ugly, but the logic is reasonable. If you give the aliens a chance to make money and watch a show without having to die, they will definitely agree. Despicable is a bit despicable, but war is like this. There is no choice between priorities. itself!"
Fang Fang hates any form of war, but when faced with a war started by careerists, he can only choose to protect himself and the people and things he values.
