Fight!

Fight!

Zhu Yunwen saw that Zhu Yunxi dared to argue with Liu Sanwu, a Confucian leader, in front of the emperor and the ministers of the court, and a villain was born in his heart, which kept shouting.

Liu Sanwu said with a straight face: "To the west of the East China Sea, to the east of the Western Regions, to the north of Southern Xinjiang, and to the south of Northern Territory. Among the great rivers is the homeland of the Central Plains. The emperor and grandson should bear in mind that if all the land covering the world is the Central Plains, do you want to Raise a large army, raise the Ming Dynasty and use it to fight, and show Yang Guang's death?"

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, led an army of his own to conquer Tuyuhun and Goguryeo in the west. He abused the power of the people and indulged in extravagance. However, the people of the Central Plains revolted and the world was in chaos. The Sui Dynasty also fell like the second generation of the Qin Dynasty, and the country collapsed and fell.

Liu Sanwu must not let the idea that all the land under heaven is the territory of the Central Plains spread. If so, will the people of the world decide that it is time to take back their homeland and engage in military violence, causing the country to be destabilized?

Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally wanted to speak to control the situation, took back his words. He did not look at Zhu Yunxi or Liu Sanwu, but looked at Fang Xiaoru, the professor of Dabentang who was supposed to be the protagonist today.

I heard that late yesterday, Fang Xiaoru was looking for friends in the city and made a noise, saying that the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi was a man of pure filial piety and benevolence. His character and education were outstanding, and his words and deeds should be a blessing to the country.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was very surprised that his darling grandson could actually make Fang Xiaoru, a rising scholar, speak so highly of him. How did his darling grandson do it?

This seems to be treating Zhu Yunxi as his direct disciple.

Today, when this situation arises, how Fang Xiaoru will respond makes Zhu Yuanzhang quite curious.

However, Fang Xiaoru did not intend to speak at this time. He was thinking of taking this opportunity to observe Zhu Yunxi more.

What's more, he has already thought about what Zhu Yunxi will use to prove his previous point.

At this time.

Zhu Yunxi had already spoken: "Master Liu, I would like to ask Master Liu if he knows. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, our Central Plains has been convenient for setting up rulers in southern Xinjiang? Emperor Qin set up three groups to govern southern Xinjiang. The Han Dynasty destroyed the South Vietnam Kingdom and appointed the governor of Jiaozhi. Guangwu pacified Southern Xinjiang and built city walls. By the Eastern Han Dynasty and Western Jin Dynasty, Southern Xinjiang had constant governors. Regardless of the Sui and Tang dynasties, Southern Xinjiang was still in the hands of our Central Plains.

Even before the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, southern Xinjiang lost control and escaped the control of the Central Plains. Our Ming Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the Central Plains and is impeccable. Does Mr. Liu think that our Ming Dynasty is not worthy of the name of the orthodoxy of the Central Plains and cannot recover the lost territory in southern Xinjiang? "

In addition to the previous description of how the southern Xinjiang lands were ruled by the Central Plains dynasty, Zhu Yunxi's final theory that the Ming Dynasty was the orthodox theory of the Central Plains left Liu Sanwu speechless for a moment.

After a while, Liu Sanwu spoke again: "My Ming Dynasty occupies the land of nine states in the Central Plains. It is a large land with rich resources and rich products. The southern Xinjiang is a land outside of China. Although it has been conquered by the Central Plains for a long time, it is not my ancestral land in the Central Plains. "

"The ancestral land of the Central Plains?" Zhu Yunxi sneered, but it caused everyone including Zhu Yuanzhang to frown slightly.

However, Zhu Yunxi cursed in his heart.

Later, there were too many people like Liu Sanwu, who embraced the vast resources of the Central Plains and closed the country in isolation. As a result, the country ended up with no mountains and rivers, and bandits roamed the Central Plains freely, looting and plundering.

He sneered and said: "Mr. Liu, has our ancestral land in the Central Plains really had the current structure since the beginning of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? The ancestors' tribes were just a stone's throw away. They survived on stones and gathered tribes into ethnic groups. They have continued since the land of the Yellow River. After thousands of years of expansion, the Central Plains was formed, and finally in the Ming Dynasty, the land of Kyushu was established. Mr. Liu! If the Ming Dynasty follows Mr. Liu's wishes, should we remove the land other than the tribal lands where the ancestors were in trouble? All gone?"

Liu Sanwu was stunned again. He realized that he had never thought about such issues, but had always believed that the Central Plains was the ancestral land of the Central Plains.

Fang Xiaoru on the side laughed lightly, first bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said: "I believe that there is nothing wrong with the theory that the emperor and his grandson are in the Central Plains. We in the Central Plains should not talk about the Central Plains in terms of the land, but should talk about the people of the Central Plains. The Central Plains. Any place where the people of our Central Plains set foot, cultivate and live, can be called our Central Plains."

Seeing Fang Xiaoru stand up and speak for himself, Zhu Yunxi nodded and smiled.

The words of this person who constantly admired the Zhou rites in terms of Confucian etiquette and Confucianism were naturally derived from "Zewei Xia" when entering China.

It is reasonable and well-founded and cannot tolerate criticism from others.

Zhu Yunxi took over the words: "What you said is very true. I hope you will be taught by me. The Ming Dynasty has the land of Jiuzhou today because its ancestors fought through thorns and thorns in the wilderness, killed wild beasts with sharp stones in their hands, set foot in the wilderness, and cultivated the land. Only then did the Central Plains become what it is today.”

At this point, Zhu Yunxi's eyes darkened and the conversation changed.

He wants to cut into the political ideas he really wants to express today.

Just listen to him speak in a deep voice: "Our Han Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, Weijia, and the sea are full of warehouses, all because of the ancestors who founded the place. Grandpa Huang started in Huaixi and reshaped the orthodoxy of the Central Plains. If we wait for future generations and forget that our ancestors were How can future generations comment on our desire for land? Are we inferior to our ancestors?"

At this point, Zhu Yunxi's tone dropped: "Land is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty for thousands of years! If our Ming Dynasty wants to last forever, we must maintain our desire for land like our ancestors!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi slowly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been silent since the beginning.

He knew very well that his words would never offend Zhu Yuanzhang.

Land, for the people of Ming Dynasty, naturally has many attractions.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, this attraction was even greater.

If the old Zhu family had a vast land when they were in Fengyang, the central capital, it is impossible to say whether there would still be a Ming Dynasty today.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang looked slightly strange at this time. Amid everyone's surprise, he let out a long sigh.

Youyou said: "Think of me, if our family had even a few more acres of land..."

As he spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and waved his hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi with a smile on his face: "Earlier you said that there is a land with three crops a year in southern Xinjiang, but are you serious?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded seriously and vigorously: "Back to grandpa, my grandson will never dare to tell a lie on this matter!"

not good!

Liu Sanwu on the side shouted in his heart and quickly turned back to look at the several ministers behind him.

Zhu Yunxi has already continued: "It has been twenty-four years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The people have gradually rested, their livelihoods have become rich, and their natural resources have become abundant.

But this is because not long after the Ming Dynasty was founded, the people of the world experienced exploitation in the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, four wars continued, and the population plummeted.

I, the Ming Dynasty, created the Imperial Register of Fish Scales and divided the fields among the people, so that everyone has a field to cultivate. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said fiercely: "Qian Yuan's heinous crimes are truly abominable!"

Zhu Yunwen, who had been waiting silently for Zhu Yunxi to be scolded, almost shouted out, why did the style of painting suddenly change, and the emperor's grandpa actually fell in love with Zhu Yunxi!

Zhu Yunxi never looked at Zhu Yunzhen from beginning to end.

Still sorting things out in his head, he slowly said: "Although now everyone in our Ming Dynasty works on the fields. But if the population increases in the future, our Ming Dynasty's land will still be as large as it is now. How will our Zhu family support us?" Billions of people in the world?"

"Nowadays, there is a land with three crops a year outside the southern border. Its people are like monkeys in the trees. They are ignorant of education and extremely lazy. They ignore the fertile land and look for food in the wild."

"Our great Ming Dynasty has prosperous culture and education, many soldiers and generals, and an increasing population. Why do we turn a blind eye to such a precious land?"

"The Ming Dynasty should use the royal family to protect the treasured land, use the army to eliminate the stubborn, move the people to cultivate the land, and educate the people outside the region through Confucianism and learn the etiquette of the Central Plains."

It’s almost a deserted land with white flowers, don’t you want it?

At the end of Zhu Yunxi's speech, he even brought Confucianism in and expressed his idea of ​​spreading Confucianism outside the region.

As soon as he finished speaking, the clan kings behind him had already stood up.
