Therefore, Li Changgeng looked at Bi Ziyan and Wen Tiren without saying anything. After a moment of silence, he said: "Second Master, you may say that I am pedantic or stupid, but Li never feels that such behavior can represent my Chinese civilization! Emperor Tian has no relatives. , only virtue is the supplement, we, the great China, should make foreign countries fear my power and admire virtue, instead of swallowing up their country, doing many unjust things, and sooner or later they will be backlashed!"
Bi Ziyan smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I will tell you what the elder said, but please don't expect that the court will change because of your opinion, because whether it is the king's heart or public opinion, as well as the ministers in the court, Most people don’t want to govern the country with etiquette anymore! They want to govern the country with “loyalty”!”
"Loyalty? What is loyalty?"
After Li Changgeng heard what Bi Ziyan said, he asked.
"Tai Shigong once said: 'The government of Xia is loyal. The loyal people are loyal to the bad people, so the Yin people inherit it with respect. The humble people treat the bad people as ghosts, so the Zhou people inherit it with literature. The poor people treat the poor people with humiliation, so Nothing can save you more than being loyal. The way of the three kings is like a cycle, ending again and beginning again.'
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the country was governed by etiquette. However, those who held etiquette in the world could not act up and down, so the etiquette collapsed and was not suitable for the government of the country!
Now, when we return to the Xia Dynasty, we must govern with loyalty! Loyalty, sincerity! Whether it is internally or externally, we must show sincerity, which is the key to governance in today's world! "
"The imperial court did not recognize the slightest legitimacy of the Mughal Empire's occupation of India, and clearly told the Mughal Empire to voluntarily surrender the Indian peninsula and move elsewhere to show its sincerity! It was also the same as not recognizing the Mughal Empire before. The Kingdom of Chasha also shows its sincerity in its possession of Siberia and Eastern Siberia!"
Bi Ziyan said.
"Yuanfu, I will tell you directly if I want to attack you. You should be prepared to be beaten, and you will definitely be beaten! This is to show your sincerity. Is this what you mean?"
Wen Tiren asked.
"That's right! The same is true internally. Once it is clearly told to the people of the world and foreign countries that the Ming Dynasty wants to raise troops on the Indian Peninsula, then the court has to raise troops, otherwise it will be dishonest! As a result, the country will lose its trust with the people and foreign countries. .”
Bi Ziyan replied.
"Yuan Fu is really good at fabricating new theories about governing the country. To govern the country with loyalty is nothing more than respecting the word 'contract', right?"
Li Changgeng asked with a sneer.
"That's right, respect the contract, keep your promises when governing the country, and do whatever you say you want to do!"
Bi Ziyan replied.
…
"Ruling the country with loyalty is good! It is better than ruling the country with etiquette. Li De requires everyone to be a saint, not only to abide by the law, but also to observe morality. This is too difficult! Looking at the emperors of the past dynasties, there are very few people who abide by morality, and ministers Among them, it is even rarer, but if you really find a few people who do not observe etiquette and are not treacherous or evil, there will be a lot of people! In addition, governing the country with etiquette will also allow foreigners to make further progress. You can use this to govern."
After Zhu Youxiao learned about Bi Ziyan's remarks in the cabinet, he also agreed.
"I thank your Majesty for your support! However, Your Majesty, I would like to say that although Li Changgeng does not agree with my ideals, he is still capable and has served Nanjing with merit, so he can still be retained in the cabinet."
Bi Ziyan said at this time.
"I know! He is a kind-hearted person, so kind that he sympathizes with the Mughal Empire, which has nothing to do with him. Since he is kind-hearted, he should care more about our people in the Ming Dynasty. I heard Qin Aiqing say that in the southwest area , there are still many Han people who are poor and destitute, unlike the people in the capital of Jiangnan, so the imperial court has to support them, after all, they will have to rely on these people to stabilize the southwest, and even Annan and Myanmar in the future."
"So, I decided to promote Li Changgeng to the position of Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and serve as the propaganda envoy to the southwest, to help the Han people there get rid of poverty and become rich, and to use their kindness to the poor in the country to solve their problems."
Zhu Youxiao said.
Bi Ziyan replied: "Yes!"
He has always been demoted to remote places, but what Zhu Youxiao is doing now is the first of his kind to be promoted to remote places.
There is nothing we can do about it.
Zhu Youxiao had to admit that there are those very holy people in any era. Such people can only be allowed to dedicate more love to the people of their country, otherwise there is no better way.
Li Changgeng therefore had to set off for the southwest.
After the imperial court raised funds from the private sector to mobilize troops on the Indian Peninsula, it officially began to prepare for the use of troops on the Indian Peninsula.
"The use of troops against India is different from the past northward and westward expeditions. This is a war in which financial interests are more important than political and military interests. Since it is for money, it is natural to maximize the benefits as much as possible. The Ming Dynasty can dispatch Navy, but there is no need to transport large-scale land troops thousands of miles away, which will only increase the consumption of money and food. In addition, crimes such as burning, killing and looting are not suitable for our Ming Emperor's army to do directly, which will affect the reputation of the imperial army and royal division;
He ordered the Lifan Temple to send two Lifan officials to Korea and the Japanese country to tell the Korean leader and the Japanese shogunate that the Mughal Empire illegally occupied the Indian peninsula without the permission of the Celestial Empire and violated the regulations for maintaining the basic world order. They will They were allowed to work with China to maintain order. They could send troops to form an alliance with the Chinese army and send troops to the Indian Peninsula. They would pay for their own military expenses. But in the future, they could work with China to divide the interests of the Mughal Empire. That was a fat pig. China could give them to them. A mouthful of meat to eat, but they have to contribute. "
Zhu Youxiao issued his new instructions on this.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty! If we can really allow Japan and North Korea to send troops, then our Ming Dynasty will not need to send too many troops to India, which will affect the use of troops in other places. And if there are losses due to the defeat of the war, it will not cause only us. If the Ming Dynasty is damaged, even if the natives hate us, they don’t have to only hate me."
Zhu Xieyuan therefore replied.
"That's right, as for the benefits from sending troops to Japan and North Korea, with our current business position in the Ming Dynasty, we can earn back the benefits sooner or later!"
Bi Ziyan replied.
"But in this case, North Korea and Japan will lose a lot of young people in India, and the benefits they get will only flow into the hands of their powerful people. This will inevitably exacerbate the gap between the rich and the poor in their country, and sooner or later civil unrest will occur in their country."
Liu Hongxun replied.
"That's good! Otherwise, they will always want to get rid of my Ming Dynasty's control. The more internal chaos they have, the more conducive it is for my Ming Dynasty to encroach on them step by step in the future, until they also become a province of my Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Youxiao said.
"yes!"
Liu Hongxun replied that he knew that His Majesty had great ambitions, and had already planned to annex North Korea and Japan as part of China. The reason why he did not use force to annex directly was just to use a slow knife to cut his flesh and intensify his resistance. Reduce, but first use cultural influence.
…
"Sending troops to India? We, North Korea, only rely on China to protect a small country. How dare we conquer other countries?"
King Li Zhuang of North Korea was very surprised when he learned about this from the Ming Dynasty envoy Yuan Chonghuan.
Because these days not many countries have the awareness to participate in international affairs.
Especially the current Kingdom of Korea, as a country with Eastern Confucian civilization, has tended to be conservative. It is only vulnerable to invasion and has no ambition to invade other countries. He was naturally surprised when the Ming Dynasty asked him to join the army.
