Zhu Youjian looked at the changes in Ming Dynasty and was happy in his heart.
After all, as the actual master of the Ming Dynasty, from the moment Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, Zhu Youjian's fate had long been tied to the fate of the Ming Dynasty.
The stronger, more stable, and richer the Ming Dynasty, the easier the emperor's life would be, and conversely, the emperor's life would be more difficult.
The world never lacks people with vision, but it also never lacks short-sighted people.
Although the local powerful people and the princes and nobles did not take drastic measures, based on the intelligence of the secret guards, it is not difficult to infer that many local powerful people and the princes and nobles are already ready to take action.
In this regard, Zhu Youjian has two choices. One is to choose compromise. When the time comes, everyone will sit together to discuss the results, and Zhu Youjian will give up part of his benefits in exchange for the stability of the country.
The second is to continue to take high-pressure measures against the upper echelons so that they dare not act rashly. When new vested interests emerge, the court will become more stable.
Both options have their own pros and cons. The first option will stabilize the court more quickly, but it just wants to extend the life of the Ming Dynasty. As time goes by, Ming Dynasty will be finished again sooner or later.
The second one seems to be very good and will also help the reform of the court, but Zhu Youjian is a man, not a god. Reform is bound to have loopholes.
When new vested interests emerge and you are in trouble, what does it mean to betray the country in the face of interests?
The changing of dynasties in history has proved countless times that the rulers of later generations have no idea what the root cause of the demise of the previous dynasty was.
No, it should be said that they did not know the reasons for the demise of the previous dynasty.
But for the sake of profit, he is willing to be a slave to the subjugation of his country.
They only regard themselves as heroes who overthrew the previous dynasty. They believe that because their ancestors destroyed the evil dragon, they should have privileges and should stand on the heads of ordinary people to shit and piss.
He never thought that he had already turned into an evil dragon, and the beastly things he did to the people were no worse than those of the previous dynasty.
The bullshit dynasty only lasts 300 years, and bullshit's prosperity must decline.
In Zhu Youjian's view, the rise and fall of a dynasty is not determined by some bullshit national destiny.
The destiny of the country, the prosperity must inevitably decline, are all lies.
Natural disasters are just inducements. The fundamental reason for the demise of the dynasty is that the dynasty has long been decayed.
When society solidifies. After the class is fixed.
The high-level people are just like the urban children of later generations. They can't even tell the difference between wheat and corn when they go to the fields.
Not only that, when your birth determines your destiny, will you still fight? Will you still work hard?
For ordinary people, since I can't change it despite my best efforts, I might as well just lie down.
To the higher-ups, since I will be the county magistrate when I grow up, it’s…. Animals decide their fate, so do we still need to work hard?
For most people, the result is yes—no need.
But talent cannot be achieved by bragging.
The ruling class directly determines the future direction of the country.
They can't even tell the difference between wheat and corn. They can't see the information at the bottom of the country, or they pretend not to see it. They only think about their own interests and making money, chasing after the blood of the country and cutting off the roots of the country.
How can managers who use their power to crazily squeeze ordinary people manage the country well, and how can they not lead the country into an abyss?
For the future of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian must not choose reconciliation.
But cultivating new vested interests also only serves to extend the life of the dynasty.
It is said that capitalism is more civilized than the feudal dynasty, but the capitalists are more ruthless than the landlords when they eat people.
Otherwise, the capitalists would shamelessly erect memorial arches after eating people.
It really serves as both a watcher and an archway.
In this regard, Zhu Youjian actually had no good solution. After all, if Ming Dynasty wanted to develop and society wanted to progress, the birth of capital was inevitable.
All that can be done at that time is to prevent capital from inserting its hands into politics.
However, these are things that need to be considered in the future. The most important thing now is to ensure that there is no trouble in the country.
After thinking about it, Zhu Youji thought of the methods commonly used by countries near the Celestial Dynasty in later generations. If domestic conflicts cannot be resolved now, he should transfer domestic conflicts out by making trouble abroad.
In the end, Zhu Youjian set his sights on Japan.
It can be said that Ming Dynasty and Japan have always been bitter enemies.
From the Battle of Wanghaicheng in the 17th year of Yongle to the 26th year of Wanli, Japan never stopped.
Provoked war with Ming Dynasty dozens of times.
However, after Zhu Youjian designed to lure the armies of Jiannu, Mongolia and Su Wuxin (formerly Su Polu) to Japan, Japan has become much quieter in recent years.
After all, the Japanese custom is that whoever has the knife is the father.
Now it is divided among three families. The boss of the three families, Su Wuxin, is a member of Zhu Youjian. The slave builders were crippled by the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongols were frightened. Who dares to take the initiative to provoke the Ming Dynasty?
If the three families don't say anything, how can the Japanese dare to move?
Not to mention, in order for Ming Dynasty not to think of this tiny place, the three families packed up Japanese craftsmen and sent them to Ming Dynasty to revive them. Now Japan can only build small fishing boats for offshore use.
There is no ship that can travel far, so even if they are powerful, they can only stay in Japan.
If it were not for the past few years, the Western barbarians were too arrogant, coupled with the continuous disasters in the Ming Dynasty, which consumed a lot of energy in the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, Ming Dynasty did not have enough strength to support the annihilation of Japan. Zhu Youjian would not allow Jiannu and the others to roam around in Japan.
The situation is just right now, and the natural disasters in Ming Dynasty finally took a break.
The imperial army has also been completely transformed.
It was a good time for Japan to take action.
Once Japan is recovered, it is considered a foreign war, which can divert domestic conflicts and alleviate domestic conflicts.
Secondly, after the imperial court regained Japan, it could continue to deepen reforms with the momentum of a great victory.
Under the premise of the Ming Dynasty's war to destroy the country, no one dares or can stop Zhu Youjian from continuing to reform in the next few years.
When the power of destroying the country has almost dissipated, it is almost time for Ming Dynasty to reform.
The new vested interests will not allow the old vested interests to act recklessly.
As for Japan, I, the Ming Dynasty, saved you from dire straits and classified Japan as a new province of my Ming Dynasty. It’s too late to be happy, so how could you object?
Those who dare to oppose must be the remnants of slave-building and must be eradicated.
After thinking about all this, Zhu Youjian immediately sent someone to pass the news to Su Wuxin.
Daming has entered emergency preparations.
Countless amounts of money and grain were transported from the capital to Tianjin via railway tracks.
The Navy also dispatched 20 large warships and nearly a hundred transport ships north to support the North Sea Fleet.
After all, the lion fights the rabbit with all its strength, even though the Japanese navy is always under the surveillance of the Ming Dynasty. Now there are only a few broken fishing boats.
But what if the other party secretly builds a warship?
But what if Jiannu and the others have a brain attack and want to fight with the Ming Dynasty?
With 20 large warships in the North Sea, Ming Dynasty has enough confidence to deal with any emergencies.
Japan - Edo, after receiving the news from Su Wuxin, Dorgon was so frightened that he almost fell off the bed.
Dorgon naturally knew what Ming Dynasty needed.
After Japan was destroyed and Japan was divided among the three families, Ming Dynasty was not seen in action for a long time. In addition, there was no news from Ming Dynasty.
The mentality of the three families slowly changed over time.
The three families were initially ready to evacuate at any time, but later became actively preparing for war.
I am currently eating and waiting to die.
Over time, Japan has become the territory of the three families. Whether it is a rash withdrawal or a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty, it is not a good thing for the three families.
