Until they left the palace, the nobles were still discussing endlessly. Whether it was the "Kun Yu Ten Thousand Kingdoms Map" or the blueprint drawn by His Majesty and the Crown Prince for their nobles, it was enough for them to digest it for a long time.
Young and energetic people such as Lan Yu and Chang Mao are already gearing up and can't wait to expedition to other countries and establish their own countries. Even others who are relatively more mature can’t help but feel hot in their hearts.
Although the night was already dark, none of these nobles wanted to sleep. Chang Mao invited Lan Yu, Geng Bingwen and others back home for a drink, obviously wanting to have a good time. Deng Yu also invited Feng Sheng and other old brothers to the Duke's Mansion for a detailed discussion.
"Old Feng, do you think what the superior said today...is feasible?" Even in his private room, Deng Yu did not hide his doubts. Among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, he, Deng Yu, was good at recruiting and subjugating subordinates. If he really wanted to establish a country in a foreign land, he, Deng Yu, had the most talent.
But he is not a fool like Lan Yu. Although he is burning with fire in his heart, he will not believe it so foolishly. After all, he had read a few books, so he naturally knew the disadvantages of the Zhou Dynasty's enfeoffment. Although it expanded a lot of Chinese territory at the beginning, the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States fought hard, and the Zhou royal family was also destroyed by the princes.
Is Your Majesty really willing to use the power of the country to help nobles like yourself be enfeoffed in foreign countries? Isn't he afraid that the future Ming Emperor will make the same mistake as the Zhou royal family?
Like him, many older nobles also had this doubt.
Feng Sheng took a sip of tea, thought for a moment, and then said: "From my perspective, what the superior said is very promising."
"Don't you think that the 'Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms Picture' looks very familiar? I just thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered that the picture was hung behind the imperial cabinet of Jinshen Palace a year ago, but it was not taken by the Crown Prince and the Fifth Highness today. It’s just as generous as the one I gave out.”
"If you think about it, the superiors have already thought about this matter for a long time and are preparing to make it a national policy. It is not a temporary idea."
"Speaking of this matter, I think of Marshal Xu..." Feng Sheng touched his chin.
Everyone was puzzled. Xu Da was still arranging border defense matters in Liaodong, so how could he suddenly ask him to go. Just listen to Feng Sheng continue to say: "Marshal Xu Da has made great achievements and has always been the first person in the Ming Dynasty to achieve military success. After returning from the expedition to Lingbei, he took the initiative to give up military affairs and cultivate the underachievers, as if he had retreated to the second line."
"It's fair to think that Xu Shuai's achievements are close to the peak of military generals in the past. With his caution, he will naturally avoid taboos. Anyway, the wealth and glory are extremely high, and our Ming army does not have no successors..."
"But why did Xu Shuai work so hard to conquer Liaodong this time? Even today, when Liaodong has been peaceful, he still sent troops to the northern border, with his sword pointed at Helin, and he set out to destroy the Yuanting ancestral temple and regain the grassland and desert. Woolen cloth?"
Everyone was stunned and didn't know why. Deng Yu frowned: "Could it be..."
"Not bad." Feng Sheng nodded. "I'm afraid that the superiors had already revealed to Xu Shuai about the 'foreign border closure', so Xu Shuai suddenly became aggressive again and even wanted to devour Bei Yuan and achieve new unparalleled achievements!"
The nobles were in an uproar, and Deng Yu suddenly realized: "I'm telling you! Xu Shuai had previously looked like he was going to step down from his military duties and go home to entertain his grandson. Everyone said that his achievements were already extremely high, and he would have to do more if he continued to advance. It has offended the superiors. Even among the civil servants, there were many who advised the superiors to be on guard against Xu Shuai."
"But I didn't expect that Xu Shuai would be more interested in aiding the North this time than anyone else. I just thought he wanted to shame Snow Ridge North, and he also sighed at me, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid this will be the last battle."
"But I didn't expect that he was suppressing this intention and wanted to make some achievements first so that he could leave us and become the master of his country first!"
Deng Yu almost jumped.
Don't forget that Xu Da is the number one man in the army. If there is a war, everyone will naturally obey him, but on weekdays, they are all brothers and fellow villagers.
The people here were not assigned to Xu Da's command, so the gangsters started talking and greeted Xu Da who had escaped.
"Everyone, listen to me." Feng Sheng interrupted everyone and attracted everyone's attention to himself. "Even Xu Shuai has to forge ahead with determination. It can be seen that it is not easy to become a vassal."
"After all, the use of troops is a matter of family and country. If we want your majesty to help us build a country, we must make the Ming Dynasty surrender and become prosperous and prosperous first. Then, we will have enough energy to lead troops to go out and sweep away the land."
"In this, there is a place for us to contribute. Although Xu Shuai takes the lead, we must not fall too far behind. We can never do it again by occupying people's fields and colluding with civil servants as we did before. These are all You are wasting all the merits I have worked so hard to earn in the past!"
"Although we work harder, the wealth that future generations can enjoy is even more different!"
"Lu Zhongheng and others are short-sighted. For this unjust gain, they gave up their military power. By not letting them sit in on the high position, they deprived them of the opportunity to build a country in the future. When we come from a foreign country to respond to heaven in the future, they will have to kneel down and call us. The lord of the country!"
"Hahahaha!" As he said this, the group of nobles all laughed happily, and their grudges about being deprived of their property by Lao Zhu disappeared. Someone joked: "With so many of our country leaders standing in a row, don't guys like Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong have to wait until dark to pay their respects?"
The room was filled with a happy atmosphere, and Deng Yu also believed a little more. While everyone was chatting and laughing excitedly, he pulled Feng Sheng's clothes and asked in a low voice: "So, Lao Feng, do you think, Your Majesty won’t be afraid of us?”
"What is there to be afraid of?" Feng Sheng couldn't help but replied in a low voice: "This is also good for Your Majesty! You don't have to let us nobles with great achievements be a hidden danger in the country, and you can spread the glory of our Ming Dynasty... …Do you think that since we are truly a feudal state, we don’t need to rely on our motherland? Although those wild lands have resources, it will only take several generations to fully develop them.”
"Even if you worry that the rebellion among the princes will destroy the Ming Dynasty... you must know that the Zhou Dynasty lasted for nearly 800 years before it was destroyed! If Zuo, the Ming Dynasty, could last for 800 years, the higher-ups would laugh out of their dreams."
"What's more, in the Zhou Dynasty, only the Heluo area was the capital, but the Ming Dynasty used today's China as the capital. In terms of foundation, it is much stronger than the Zhou Dynasty."
"And you have noticed that the King of Qin and the King of Jin are both adults, but His Majesty did not send them to their original fiefdoms. I think it is these princes who will be the most widely enfeoffed foreign countries in the Ming Dynasty."
Feng Sheng was so good that he knew all about Deng Yu's doubts and Lao Zhu's plans. When Deng Yu heard this, he was as suspicious and cautious as he was, and he finally felt relieved. Indeed, with Huaxia as its capital, it could not last for hundreds more years than the Zhou Dynasty with Heluo as its capital? Even if there is a real dispute between the princes hundreds of thousands of years later, and so many of Your Majesty's sons have been sealed off, even if the dynasty changes, it is very likely that the feudal state surnamed Zhu will win the orthodoxy. This piece of meat will most likely still be rotten by Zhu. In a bowl at home.
Deng Yu stood up angrily and said to everyone: "Brothers, I won't keep you here for now. I'll go read the military books first and come up with a way to destroy Yuan! When Xu Da comes back, I'll have to fight with him Let’s fight for the power to destroy the Yuan!”
When he said this, a group of people suddenly woke up from a dream. They all dispersed and went home to sharpen their guns before the battle. From now on, I'm afraid that everyone is a competitor. No matter what, we have to show this appearance first. If there is a place where soldiers are needed in the future, the superiors know that we are so diligent in reviewing military tactics and strategies, and they may point out the position of the coach to us. no?
If the superiors knew that someone was always drinking and having fun... then it would be strange to point the finger at him for any military exploits!
