Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 730

"My dear friends, the matter of the massacre of the Ming's overseas citizens for the Hongyi has now been settled. The Spanish forces stationed in Luzon Island have been killed or captured from the governor down. In a few days, this matter will spread all over the world. .

The reason why I sent soldiers across the oceans to carry out this raid is to warn all countries in the world: Anyone who violates our Emperor's Ming will be punished no matter how far away!

This one is regarded as the cornerstone of the country, and future generations must keep it in mind!

Those who build up my emperor, inherit the orthodoxy of China for thousands of years, lead the world today with many brilliant civilizations, all my Chinese people have awe-inspiring dignity, and no external force can insult me. Fang is where my Chinese pride lies!
It is also my Huaxia who has gone through many dynasties, but still stands proudly at the foundation of the world! "

In the Hall of Zhaoren, Zhu Youjian glanced at His Highness' cabinet ministers with piercing eyes, conveyed his views to them in a firm tone, and at the same time endorsed the newly issued ID card regulations.

The important ministers headed by Wen Tiren all looked solemn and listened to the emperor's speech with concentration.

The concept of country and nation was a new subject for them.

From the history books, we are used to the change of dynasties, so they generally cultivate the land or that piece of land. The change of dynasties is just a change of family as the master. No matter who becomes the emperor, they must be used as a group to restrain the bottom. Therefore, when Zhu Youjian proposed the concept of the country, many people did not take it seriously.

"If a country wants to have cohesion, if it wants to be supported by everyone in the world, it must have the responsibility and obligation to make the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is the original intention of establishing the imperial court.

Because the imperial court has the power of the whole country, its power is so huge that no individual can resist it.

To maintain the normal operation of the imperial court, people from all over the world need to work together to support each other. This is the aggregation of taxes and taxes.

And the people in the world use their labor to support the imperial court, so the imperial court should have the obligation to help the people in the world to solve the crisis!

The imperial court can only bring the world back to its heart by taking many actions to concentrate its heart and virtue, so that when the state encounters great changes, it will not fall into a situation where everyone wants to overthrow it.

This time I decided to send troops to attack Lu Song, and that was the purpose.

Regardless of whether the thousands of people who were murdered in the past were citizens of Ming Dynasty in the eyes of the lords, but I think that if they knew Chinese characters, read Chinese books, wore Han clothes, and never wore a left lapel, then these people are for me A group of the same origin and origin in China.

Whether it was for the sake of making money, or forced to leave their hometown due to life, they gathered people and went to Nanyang, but their ancestors lived in the land of China and paid rent and taxes for the emperor, so they should be regarded by the people of China. "

Zhu Youjian knew that it would take a long time of publicity and brainwashing to make people in the world have a strong sense of identity with Daming, and a few simple words by himself would definitely not be enough.

For him who likes to do practical things and doesn't want to talk empty words, he can only try his best to let the majority of people get benefits. Under the subtle influence, people in the world will naturally have a sense of belonging to the Ming regime.

"Now that Manila has been pacified and tens of thousands of immigrants from Ming Dynasty have been avenged, how to deal with matters related to Luzon Island has become an imminent matter. Please discuss this with the ministers. The cabinet will come up with it within three days. Relevant articles are submitted to the public, and will be implemented immediately after I have read the instructions, and the relevant people must not procrastinate!"

Zhu Youjian, who is becoming less and less fond of long speeches, did not elaborate on the concept of the country, but after briefly mentioning it, he immediately changed the subject and explained the purpose of summoning the ministers today.

"Invoking the Holy Majesty, the veteran thought that the Holy Majesty should give the holy will, and then the ministers will make suggestions around the holy will until they formulate relevant regulations. It will ruin the plan of the Holy Majesty!"

As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, the chief assistant Wen Tiren immediately got up and clapped his hands and played.

When the army was sent to attack Manila, there was no unity of opinion in the cabinet.

Li Banghua, Hou Xun, Fan Jingwen and others objected to this matter. They believed that it was absurd to spend a huge amount of state money to avenge those who were no longer citizens of Ming Dynasty under the mobilization of troops.

Although the country is big, belligerent must perish.

Although the current domestic situation is very good, for a long time to come, people's livelihood should still be the main priority, and there should be no more large-scale swordsmanship.If such battles are too frequent, the country's strength will be exhausted quickly. If the emperor imposes additional taxes to support these meaningless wars, if there is another large-scale natural disaster, the situation will inevitably deteriorate rapidly.

However, because the first few assistant ministers came down from the battlefield, the opposition voices of Li Banghua and others were forcibly suppressed, and Wen Tiren, as the chief assistant, naturally relied on Zhu Youjian's opinions, so Zhu Youjian The decree of the inspection was quickly passed in the cabinet.

Now that Manila has been captured, if the normal process is followed, the army should return immediately after a brief repair. In order to allow the surviving immigrants from Ming Dynasty to have the ability to protect themselves, we can leave them with corresponding weapons when the army retreats. .

Without the suppression of the regular Spanish army, what kind of climate would the local savages who drank blood have achieved.

Although they do not admit that those living overseas are still citizens of Ming Dynasty, Li Banghua and others believe that with the brains and wisdom of these "abandoned people", it is not like playing with a group of monkeys.

If even those monkeys can't be suppressed, they deserve to be slaughtered.

My Emperor Ming dominates the world, even if the ones that come out are scraps, they should be kings in the local area, otherwise they are not worthy of knowing Chinese characters.

After Wen Tiren heard Zhu Youjian's handling of the follow-up matters in Luzon Island, he immediately realized that this dispatch of troops was not just for revenge, and the emperor must have other plans.

Although Zhu Youjian mentioned how rich the products on Luzon Island were before, the important ministers didn't take it to heart at all.

No matter how rich the products are, can it be equal to the richness of Ming Dynasty?No matter how fertile the land is, can it catch up with Huguang and Jiangnan?

The land outside the customs has been verified, and the land is more fertile than Huguang. Such a short distance has not been developed on a large scale. A faraway overseas land, whether it is fertile or not, has nothing to do with Daming?
The concept of agricultural society for more than 2000 years has been deeply rooted. When almost everyone hears the concept of abundant products, they take it for granted that more food can be produced, and they do not associate it with minerals and other resources.

They certainly don't know what abundant resources mean in later generations.

Sending troops to avenge is only one of Zhu Youjian's purposes, and the other purpose is of course for the various resources on Luzon Island.

It is true that the Ming Dynasty has a vast land and resources, but the quality of many mineral resources is not enough to meet the basic needs of the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty.

　Thanks to Jeffrey for the reward.
