"Your Majesty, something happened!"
One morning not long after Zhu Yougun and his group of Jinyiwei were attacked.
Du Yinxi grabbed a steamed bun and gnawed it in one hand, and held the just-arrived telegram in the other hand, and rushed directly into Zhu Youxiao's special train car.
Zhu Youxiao, who was having his head scratched by the chamberlain, took the telegram and read it.
After reading it for a while, Zhu Youxiao held the telegram in his hand and remained silent.
Du Yinxi saw this and said: "Jia Guo Gong reported that it was the Baiyi bandits who did it, but it stands to reason that in the past, even the Polish Hussars and the ace troops left by Swedish Gustav would be difficult to defeat. I, the King of the Ming Dynasty, took advantage of me. How could these Baiyi bandits composed of remnant and defeated generals be able to enter the territory of each vassal as if there were no one in the country, and could also seize the right opportunity to ambush them? If it weren't for the incompetence of some of the vassal monarchs and ministers. , then it can only be intentional, of course, I am just speculating."
"Is there any need to speculate? This is simply intentional!"
Zhu Youxiao replied angrily.
Then, Zhu Youxiao did not wait for the waiter to finish combing his hair. He stood up directly, waved his long sleeves, and blew his silver hair in the wind, and then suddenly sneered: "I'm afraid that I will see their truly invisible activities! "
"But I want to see it!"
Zhu Youxiao then said seriously, and then asked Du Yinxi: "Now, how many troops can the Privy Council draw? Didn't I remember that it was recently expanded by one million?"
Du Yinxi replied: "The expanded one million is mainly prepared to be used as a force to unify the Americas in the future after being tempered in the war to annex the South and the Ottoman Empire;
Fortunately, at present, the army led by His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is progressing smoothly in Southern Europe. It has innovatively dispatched many small troops to conduct independent operations at multiple points. Now it has almost unified the entire Spain and Portugal, and it can mobilize more than 200,000 troops;
Then we are left to destroy the Papal State of Rome and the Principality of Venice. The remaining 100,000 troops, plus the newly expanded army of 300,000, should be enough to achieve the goal of unifying southern Europe;
On the Ottoman side, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince also fought well. He conquered the city and made rapid progress. He could also draw out more than 300,000 troops, and then transfer 500,000 new troops there. In this way, a total of 500,000 new troops could be mobilized. "
"You have a clear mind."
Zhu Youxiao said something and said: "Then deploy these 500,000 troops to suppress the Baiyi bandits in Eastern and Western Europe."
Du Yinxi said: "Your Majesty, the Baiyi bandit army came and went without a trace. If there is someone secretly sponsoring it, I'm afraid Chen Bing wouldn't be able to wipe it out even with 500,000 soldiers. Maybe as soon as the army leaves, he will hide and transform." They are good people engaged in business and agriculture."
"Do you think I really want to wipe out these Baiyi bandits? I am going to send 500,000 Arhats to control them there! Let the people from the central government offices take root in each vassal state!"
Zhu Youxiao said: "I don't care how these 500,000 troops can suppress the Baiyi bandit army. I only have one request: to implement military control in all places where the Baiyi bandit army has appeared. By the way, I will take this opportunity to realize The central court regularly stationed troops in various vassal states. The money had to be paid by each vassal state, and it was called security. Wherever the Baiyi bandits appeared, Li Dingguo was asked to build military depots and station troops wherever they were! Since their vassal states were wiped out If we don’t have the bandit army, we can only come from the imperial court.”
Du Yinxi laughed after hearing this: "That's true. I'm afraid that the monarchs and ministers of the vassal state will regret their actions. It actually gave the court a reason to send troops to station in advance."
"Originally, we planned to unify the world and do so after we had enough troops. However, the situation is changing, and the plan must change accordingly."
"Fortunately, there is abundant financial resources at the moment, and after so many years of promoting the fertility policy, there is no shortage of young men. It would be better if these vassal states are honest. If they are really dishonest, I don't know what they will do against the court, whether they rely on manpower, financial resources, or Is it technological strength?”
Zhu Youxiao asked as he spoke.
"In my humble opinion, they themselves may not be so ignorant of current affairs. I'm afraid they have the support of people from the central court."
Du Yinxi replied.
"What do you mean by this?"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Du Yinxi.
Du Yinxi hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that there are some things that even if I don't say it, you can think of it. If the Crown Prince doesn't know it, people's hearts will naturally be uncertain!"
After saying that, Du Yinxi swallowed, and cold sweat gradually broke out on his forehead.
Because everyone who mentioned the Crown Prince's ability before had lost their minds.
Now he brought it up unexpectedly when the emperor was not in a good mood, obviously intending to touch the tiger's butt.
The key point is that he feels that if he doesn't talk about it now, he will be sorry for his belief in making Daming better.
Zhu Youxiao stared at him for a while and suddenly said: "Now even if I tell the world clearly who the crown prince is, it still won't be safe; this is the confrontation between the old and the new! It has gradually become a national consciousness that the Han people do not want to be slaves. The effect of the ideological awakening of the Chinese nation is also the general trend. It is no longer important who the crown prince is! What is important is that while the Han people realize that they should not be enslaved and enslave others, they must start to have their own sense of citizenship and serve themselves as Han people. A sense of family responsibility.”
"Yes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. It is not as simple as saying. It must be rooted in the national spirit and not allow freedom to overflow. There is only oneself, no family and country, and the world must work hard. You cannot be lazy or compromise. !”
Du Yinxi nodded. He admitted that he did not think as thoroughly as the old emperor did, but he ignored that most of the billions of Han people were now knowledgeable people, and they had to consider their influence.
"As for the princes, if anyone cannot recognize the reality, or is blinded by his own desire for power, and wants to do something that goes against the general trend, it is his own fault! Unless I make him the prince against his will, no matter how he is established, Whoever, he will not be honest, even if I set him up, he will not be honest, but will plot against me, an old man."
As Zhu Youxiao said, he asked again: "In your opinion, who is suitable to lead this army of 500,000 people?"
"Li Dingguo!"
Du Yinxi replied without thinking, and explained: "He is different from Liu Zhaoji. Liu Zhaoji is limited to generals, but he has handsome talents. The fifth prince is quite intelligent in leading troops, but he is a bit rough. In fact , he has always been the one who actually deduced and finalized all the details. To lead a large corps in battle, you have to have a handsome person to take the responsibility. Maybe we can take this opportunity to make plans for the future."
"future?"
Zhu Youxiao asked.
"Yes, in the future."
Du Yinxi replied.
"It's up to him to pass the order directly to the Privy Council."
Zhu Youxiao said.
"According to the order!"
Zhu Youxiao then couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm afraid that when I issue this decree, the monarchs and ministers of the various vassal states will hate me even more!"
…
"This old immortal tyrant has gone too far!"
"If we use Han people as slaves, what will happen to them?"
"The left and right can't affect his throne, but he has to go to great lengths to send people to various central government offices to impose his will on all parts of the world!"
"Now, because the people in the central government office were attacked, and on the grounds that the Baiyi bandit army has not been completely suppressed, they directly sent an army of 500,000 to station troops in various vassal states in the name of suppressing them!"
"Really!"
"It seems that as long as the sun shines on him, it is difficult to escape his influence!"
After Fan Guangwen, the prefect of Budapest, learned that Li Dingguo was ordered to bring an army of 500,000 to suppress the Baiyi bandits, he complained in a low voice to Xu Zhijue, an academic, political and close friend, in his private estate in Budapest.
"Be careful!"
Xu Zhijue reminded you, and then said: "I have warned you long ago not to instigate Your Highness to attack people in the imperial court!"
"But you don't believe it!"
"In this day and age, you don't understand. He is a lord who would rather break than bend. He wants you to do this. He has stationed troops in various vassal states justifiably. - Now am I right?"
"But under the circumstances at that time, when the people from the court came and found out what we had done, we would still be dead! The consequences would even be more serious!"
After Fan Guangwen argued, he added: "It's better to strike first. Maybe Zhu Youxiao will compromise because of this. After all, he won't think about who will be found if he keeps investigating like this? He really plans to stage a conspiracy in the future Is it a ruthless thing to kill a child?!"
"Is this kind of thing rare in the emperor's family?"
Xu Zhijue asked.
"It's quite a lot!"
Fan Guangwen said something, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "But do you think it's worth it for him to do this?! Just for those untouchables? Going to the point of killing his son? - And he kept adding to himself A bargaining chip! He did not hesitate to waste national funds and deploy an army! A normal emperor should know enough is enough when he knows that even sending people to investigate will be blocked and will be killed by the Baiyi bandit army. After all, there are so many important events in the world. If you want to do it, why go to war over the fact that some untouchables are coaxed into slavery, and it may even cost you the life of your own son."
"You are right. They are just a few untouchables. They are slaves as long as they are slaves. There is no need to worry too much about it. It is not something that the emperor should worry about. In the past, the big wars started because these untouchables were killed by the Western barbarians. It was for a more just devouring of whales. Its benefits! But now, the interests of each vassal have been dominated by it, and it is indeed unnecessary. "
Xu Zhijue nodded.
But then, Xu Zhijue said: "However, in fact, this is not the emperor's fault. It is the national interests of the entire Han nation that require Han people not to be slaves to be regarded as an irreversible iron law!"
"You and I have both studied the theories of Xingming Society, how could you not understand?"
"On the bright side, as long as the Han people have some brains, they must now admit that the Han people are the best people, born noble, and destined to be the managers of other races. Don't you yourself emphasize this in front of outsiders? And? Your Majesty and the imperial court are just acting according to this trend."
After Xu Zhijue said that, he continued to analyze:
"The problem now is that those of us who have come out to serve as lords and vassals have the need to enslave the Han people, and we also want to separate ourselves among the Han people, but we can't say it out!"
"We must recognize that the Han people are nobler than everyone else, and at the same time, we must allow the Han people to feel at ease as our slaves."
"This is a contradiction in itself!"
"The imperial court naturally had only one choice. If Han people were allowed to be slaves, it would be tantamount to offending a large number of Han people in the middle class of the empire;
These Han people are mainly workers, farmers, scholars, medical staff, soldiers, and teachers, making up the majority of the entire population. Once these people do not support Your Majesty, Your Majesty will be nothing. In order to exchange for their support, Your Majesty can only Choose the belief that Han people will not be slaves! "
"This is not the cause planted by the tyrant himself, which leads to such results!"
Fan Guangwen replied angrily.
