please make me king

Chapter 884 The ambition of King Shun
It is said that after Lu Xiangsheng met his old mother and wife Lu Wang, he did not mention how to tell his parting.

Early the next morning, he came to visit Zhang Shun in good spirits, to "hand over the documents" and "report on the battle situation".

At that time, in fact, there were no documents or battle conditions at all, but it was just a necessary procedure to fool Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu and others, so as not to be seen through the deception and unexpected things happen.

Zhang Shun wanted to ask him how the "Wuzi Yanzong Wan" tasted, but it involved personal privacy issues, so he had to give up.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, they had nothing to say, and they couldn't help feeling a bit cold.

Zhang Shun was about to find a topic, but Lu Xiangsheng hesitated for a moment, and asked with a serious expression: "Dare to ask about King Shun's ambition?"

"Marry seven or eight wives, give birth to ten or twenty children, cultivate a hundred acres of fertile land, and live in a house of a thousand feet. I will have no regrets in this life. This is my original ambition of farming!" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"Later, when I raised the army, it was actually just a whim of my brain. Being driven away by the officers and soldiers was like a bereaved dog. I was in danger. At that time, I only asked for three meals a day, so that my life would be safe and sound, and my brothers and mothers would be safe and sound!"

"Ji Ben's occupation of Henan Mansion has greatly increased his ambitions. I no longer live for myself, but for more people, for the world!"

"I don't know what Mr. Lu thinks, how is Daming doing now?"

"This..." Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect that Zhang Shun would ask himself back, hesitantly said, "As the saying goes, 'a centipede is dead but not stiff', even if there is scabies under its treatment, the root is still there."

"Hahaha" Zhang Shun almost burst into tears when he heard this, pointed at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "You are so circuitous!"

"Since ancient times, there have been no dynasties of thousands of years, and no country of ten thousand years. At that time, Qin Shihuang ruled the world, fused the soldiers of the world, and cast them as twelve golden men, with a view to the future generations."

"Unexpectedly, the first emperor collapsed, and the world was in chaos, so the second emperor died!"

"So far, with the victories of the Han and Tang Dynasties and the decline of the Jin and Song Dynasties, the world has not been unified for three hundred years! You are familiar with the events of the early Ming Dynasty, but how old is it?"

"Two hundred and sixty-eight years!" Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a moment.

He carefully recalled the history of the past dynasties, unless the Western Han and Eastern Han, Northern Song and Southern Song were combined into one calculation.Otherwise, since Qin Shihuang, no one in the world has been sitting on the country for three hundred years. ,

"First of all!" Zhang Shun said decisively, "Secondly, since the time of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty has used troops continuously. First there were the three major campaigns of Wanli, and then there was the 'She'an Rebellion' and the 'Liaodong Rebellion'."

"These two chaos lasted for decades and were restless, and then there were natural disasters and man-made disasters, and hungry people and rebellious soldiers reappeared in the land of Qin and Shaanxi."

"For a time, it was like a spark that started a prairie fire, spreading across northern Shaanxi, Shanxi, Northern Zhili, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan."

"Only in Shandong Province, there is no great chaos, and there are also members of the Bailian sect, who are just about to move, and they are not at peace."

"Now I have separated Heluo, Nanyang and other places. It's like a person's heart has been gouged out by others. How can he live?"

"If you only talk about it in terms of soldiers and horses, the only thing that the Ming Dynasty relies on is the elite from the nine borders. The chaos in Liaodong means that the affairs of Ji and Liao in the Ming Dynasty are ruined; the chaos in Shaanxi means that the affairs of the three borders and four towns are ruined. .”

"Except for these two places, the rest of the elite are nothing more than Xuanda. Xuanda's soldiers are weak, not as good as those of Jiliao and the three borders and four towns."

"What's more, even if the strength is similar, how can one win against two?"

"This..." Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.

Although Zhang Shun discussed earlier that there has never been a unified dynasty for [-] years, but now the Ming Dynasty has only [-] years, and there have been slight changes in the past few decades, and many people have lived their entire lives.

However, when Zhang Shun analyzed the situation in the frontier, Lu Xiangsheng shuddered.

"General Dragon and Tiger of the Ming Dynasty" Nurhachi is only the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, while 'Chuang Jiang', 'Chuang Wang', Wang Jiayin and 'Zijin Liang' were all born in the Yansui Frontier Army. Ming and Shuixi Xuanwei Si An Bangyan, these are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that there are many turmoil in many places, it must be that these three places have broken big things, and they cannot be eradicated overnight.

If there is one bad thing, it can be said to be accidental; if there are two bad things, it can be said to be a coincidence; if all three things are bad, there is nothing to do after going through the three dynasties of Wanli, Taichang and Tianqi, which shows that the problem cannot be solved by the emperor and ministers of Ming Dynasty.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help sweating profusely, and asked quickly: "Dare to ask King Shun, is there a solution?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lu Xiangsheng regretted it.This is the great plan of the world, how could King Shun trust him?

"This matter is easy to hear, just use soldiers to attack disobedient ministers!" Zhang Shun laughed when he heard the words.

"Ah?" Lu Xiangsheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and thought: Isn't this nonsense?If Daming can win, how about you, King Shun, today?

"However, it is easy to fight with words, but difficult to win with words!" Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "A tree of hundreds of feet will die from rotten roots; an embankment of thousands of miles will be destroyed by ant nests. What is happening today in the Ming Dynasty is not achieved overnight."

"Mr. Lu is both civil and military. You should know that there is a saying called 'kung fu is beyond poetry'. It is difficult for future generations to spend their entire lives as Li Du. Li Du is not the only descendant. It is also because the kung fu outside poetry is not as good as Li Du!"

"The method of using soldiers today is the same. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were no more than [-] riders, and the armor and weapons were not as good as today. However, they chased death and chased the north, drove out the Tartars, and restored China. There is no one in the world who dares to defend, why? "

"Victory with Dao!" Zhang Shun asked himself and answered, "What is Dao? It's the same thing!"

"How do you go up and down? The benefits are the same! People have fields to plow and food to eat, and the rest are taxed; , if you can't do it, you will go down."

"The Taizu of the Ming Dynasty lived in the temple, pointed out the country, and hit everything. It is said that the emperor is wise, his ministers are wise, and his wisdom is brave, and the people are happy to use it. Therefore, with the courage of Mongolia, he also drove the north of the Great Wall and could not return."

"Nowadays, the common people have no land to stand on, but the clan and gentry have hopeful land. The common people also ask for a full meal, but they still can't get it. How can there be taxes for the country?"

"Even if there are two or three sons, the imperial court encourages them to raise them. Once the battle fails, how can we get them?"

"Hungry bandits have a hundred defeats and are not afraid of death. If the court has one defeat, it will be out of control!"

Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a while when he heard the words, and understood Zhang Shun's meaning in his heart.

In this era, the cornerstone of the country is the household as a unit of the people, whether it is taxation, corvee or conscription, all come from this.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has been established for nearly [-] years, and the statistics of the Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book, the population and land controlled by the imperial court are actually less than the number of withered and war-torn businesses in the early days of the country. Isn't it a big joke?

Such a country has long been riddled with holes, unable to make ends meet, and is just struggling to support it.If there is any wind and grass on a stone, for example, an old man who is over seventy years old will not be able to get sick!

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng agreed with his judgment, Zhang Shun said with a smile: "Qin lost its deer, and the world chased after it; the world is like it today, and this king has to make plans early!"

"Jiandou, read the books of sages and sages, what do you learn? Only self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace!"

"This king wants to clean up the filth, clear up the universe, and restore the world to a bright and bright world. So that the common people can be supported, the soldiers can be used, the craftsmen can be useful, and the businessmen can be connected."

"Whether male, female, old or young, virtuous or foolish, everyone has something to gain, so my heart is enough!"

"Are you willing to help me and let us reopen a glorious and prosperous world?"
