"Do you think my father is guilty?"
Zhu Ciwei asked.
Zhu Cican was stunned and had to reply against his will: "No!"
But Zhu Cican didn't want to be suppressed in front of Zhu Ciwei, so he wanted to speak again.
"stop!"
But Zhu Youxiao stopped Zhu Cican at this time. He did not want the two brothers to continue arguing in the political hall.
Then, Zhu Youxiao made a decision directly, saying: "Send a decree to the Governor of Ural, ordering him to reply to the Rakshasa Kingdom, and set an example for dealing with foreign kings and nobles in the future. All foreign kings and nobles must be tried and convicted, and take the initiative to revolt. Those who surrender can only be counted as meritorious service, but they cannot be said to be innocent. However, when convicted, the meritorious service can be considered. Even if the monarch is a wise monarch in the country, if he ignores the safety of the people and resists to the end, he is guilty of resisting the enemy. To be judged!”
"yes!"
"So, this Alexey, tell him that I still support his surrender and the surrender of his nobles. When the time comes, they can be counted as meritorious, and their meritorious performance will be taken into consideration when convicted."
"However, if you resist to the end, you will be punished!"
Zhu Youxiao continued.
"yes!"
Liu Hongxun replied, and then said: "In my opinion, next, our army needs to do three things in the process of unifying the world:
First, do a good job in dividing land and production;
There are basically no people left in the Ming Dynasty to move to, and now we are unifying the world, this is to expand the market and save all mankind. Naturally, we have to divide the land and production for them. This has been agreed before;
Second, do a good job in epidemic prevention. War will inevitably cause casualties, and casualties will inevitably cause epidemics. Moreover, when large armies enter other countries, they are easily acclimatized and may attract new plagues, so epidemic prevention is very important;
Third, do a good job in Chinese propaganda and mobilization, so that the foreign people at the bottom can take the initiative to work with the Ming Dynasty kings to overthrow the slave owners who oppressed them and make them accept Chinese culture!
These three points should be written in the will and let all officials and generals know. "
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Very good! Just do this. This time our larger-scale external expansion must be both just and beneficial."
"yes!"
…
"Second brother, in the political hall today, eldest brother went too far! He actually said the same thing about you as the man named Liu. I couldn't help but want to say a few words to him at the time!"
"They also said that the power of the people cannot be ignored."
"A person as humble as an ant can use a mantis as a chariot?"
Zhu Cikai sneered when he said this.
"I don't support any external expansion! That would easily increase the financial burden on the empire!"
"But they insist that Ming Dynasty has overcapacity and a large number of industrial products have begun to be unsalable. If this problem is not solved, a greater crisis will occur. I think it is right. A large number of industrial products are really unsaleable. My Ming Dynasty is so Government-run factories are the main ones. If the unsaleable products are serious, a large number of workers will be unemployed! In order to prevent a large number of workers from becoming unemployed and causing unrest, wouldn't the court also have to pay money to make up for the losses caused by the unsalable factory products? There may even be A large number of workers will lose their jobs, leading to a drop in agricultural product prices, which will in turn affect farmers and intensify civil unrest?”
"That's why I agree that what they say is reasonable, but they insist on trying foreign monarchs and nobles for the sake of the feelings of the domestic soldiers and civilians and the feelings of foreign people!"
"Fool the people, so that they can receive favors without causing trouble. Why bother to care about their feelings? Since ancient times, the world has not been ruled by them, but by carnivores!"
"But the eldest brother insists on considering their feelings. I think he is not really ruthless, but he is so affectionate. He is so affectionate that he is willing to serve as the servant of the people of the world! He even cares about their feelings."
"Logically speaking, the common people in the world are the subjects, just like the sons of the king, but there is no reason why parents should be the servants of their sons!"
"It seems that the emergence of the steam engine caused this problem. Otherwise, if we are based on mulberry farming, why would we need to expand externally?"
Zhu Cican also said quite depressedly.
…
"Your Highness, we just want to find out whether the court will forgive foreign monarchs and nobles just because they choose to surrender?"
"Yes, the instructor said during the mobilization that we are for the civilized unification of the world, no more wars, the rescue of foreign slaves, the expansion of our market, and the avoidance of a crisis in our economy that would cause a large number of workers to lose their jobs. At the same time, we also want to prevent the future. Someone invades our home again! But now, why should we choose to forgive them when they surrender? "
"The imperial court gave us generous treatment. It's nothing if we died on the battlefield, but we don't want the imperial court to just expand its territory and ignore our feelings."
At this time, a group of middle- and lower-level officers of the Ming Dynasty who had worked with Zhu Cizhuo in the Anxi Protectorate expressed their views when Zhu Cizhuo took the initiative to see them.
Zhu Cizhuo took out the newspaper directly: "See for yourselves, who said the court would let them go, especially Alexey! They will all be interrogated!"
These officers really started to look at it.
"Really, this is right. Since it is to save the suffering people, why should we forgive the heinous criminals who caused these sufferings!"
"That's right, merit belongs to merit, and blame belongs to crime. It is only fair and fair for the court to do this. After all, it is our own court!"
"This shows that the court still cares about our thoughts, and it also shows that what we do is just."
A group of officers started talking about this.
Zhu Cizhuo laughed because of this and said: "How about it, don't you think that the imperial court will just pardon the criminals without any principle just to open up new territories, regardless of your emotions?"
"I don't think so!"
An officer laughed at this.
Zhu Cizhuo snorted and pointed at these officers: "After all, they are not ordinary military officers, but scholar soldiers who drank ink and passed the exam. Each one of them actually cared about the nature of fighting to the death on the battlefield and was unwilling to do so. I only serve as a spear for the imperial court. According to what you want, if the imperial court really messes up in the future, do you dare to directly oppose it?"
"I don't dare! In addition, not everyone is willing to give up such a high military salary, and those who return home from the army may only be some of the more sophisticated ones who will leave the army because of this."
An officer named Shen Quan replied.
Zhu Cizhuo nodded and couldn't help but add another sentence: "There are great differences at the top. Some people actually do not advocate expansion, and even think that it should be disarmament in order to save national funds."
"Ah? In that case, can the court arrange for those who have been laid off to come over after they return to their hometown? There is no shortage of people everywhere now."
"Even if you reduce national funds, you can't abolish martial arts. Now that the country is so big, it is really spread out to all the border towns, and the guard strength of one border town is not very sufficient!"
As a result, the officers began to talk among themselves.
Zhu Cizhuo laughed at this and said: "I'm just talking, what are you doing with so many opinions? The court doesn't really want to do this, it's just someone's suggestion! As if to prevent you from fighting, you all Weren't you just afraid that the imperial court would expand just for the sake of expansion? Why are you now afraid that the imperial court will not let you fight? You are right. If you are allowed to go back, what can you do? Now you are worried about too many workers. If you are allowed to go back, what will happen? Not more?"
Having said this, Zhu Cizhuo turned around and left, waving his hand and saying: "Please remember that you are soldiers of the imperial court. Don't be deceived by others, become someone else's gun, and betray your own conscience!"
