The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

Hear Long Qing's words.Zhang Fan began to guess in his heart.What exactly did Long Qing want to say to him.The monarch and his ministers met alone.Although it can't be said that there will be some ulterior secrets or the like.It must also be because there is something that Long Qing doesn't want others to know.After all, behind the imperial study room, the always-forgotten lord of the palace, Bo, was still sitting there silently.Record the words and deeds of the emperor.That should suffice.What Long Qing wanted to discuss with him would not be made public even at this hour and a half.In the future, it can also be brought out to meet people.

But what is it.Zhang Fan was a little unclear.Seeing Long Qing's mysterious face.Perhaps ordinary people would think that Long Qing must have some important matter to discuss with Zhang Fan.But Zhang Fan, who knew Long Qing well, understood.It is absolutely impossible to look at Long Qing with such a common sense.just like before.At the beginning of the year.Long Qing also ordered some things to Zhang Fan in such a mysterious way.But that is to ask Zhang Fan to go to Mobei to find Cistanche, which can strengthen yang, and come back.This really made Zhang Fan feel dumbfounded at the time.

Think about it.Zhang Fan found out.The emperor's mind is really hard to guess.It's just that the emperor he mentioned refers to all the emperors throughout the ages.Or just referring to Long Qing alone.Zhang Fan himself was a little confused.

Since I can't guess.Then simply don't guess.Zhang Fan figured it out.He asked directly: "I dare to ask Your Majesty to call Weichen here this time. Is there anything else I want to say to Weichen?"

"Mmm. This matter is really difficult." Long Qing didn't answer Zhang Fan's words immediately.Instead, he hesitated.Said to Zhang Fan. "I'll talk to you first. If you think it's feasible, then we, the monarch and his ministers, will discuss it again; if you don't think it's okay, then let me rot these words in my stomach and don't bring them up again."

Zhang Fan heard what he said.Immediately became serious.I couldn't help wondering if Long Qing was going to tell him something important.But think about it in a blink of an eye.There may also be something about Long Qing's private life.this……

"Your Majesty, please tell me. I must obey Your Majesty's wishes." Zhang Fan put on a very serious expression.expressed his position.

"Yeah. Then I'll say it." Long Qing saw Zhang Fan and agreed to himself.Then he opened his mouth and said. "Actually, what I'm going to talk about is related to those two grapes... Franji's visit."

"En." Hearing Long Qing's words.Zhang Fan couldn't help putting on a very surprised face. "I don't know what His Majesty wants to say." He really didn't expect Long Qing to bring up a topic related to this matter.And between this hour and a half.Zhang Fan also couldn't figure it out.Why did Longqing tell him about this.And still so deliberately called him over.The monarch and his ministers discussed such a question quite mysteriously.

"What I mean is..." Long Qing said this.Also deliberately stopped.Turned his head and looked around.continued. "Aiqing, what do you think they are going to do? How about it?" Long Qing said these words carefully.It was as if he was afraid of being heard by an outsider who didn't exist at all.

"What they want to do." Zhang Fan heard Long Qing's words.Some hesitation.Not sure what exactly he was referring to.Sudden.A light flashed in Zhang Fan's mind.He understood what Long Qing was going to say when he came over.

"Your Majesty means..." Zhang Fan said tentatively.Although he was almost certain of Long Qing's thoughts in his heart.But he wasn't quite sure yet. "The Franji people are going to attack Tianzhu. They will rob Tianzhu's money. They will enslave the people there to help them get rich."

this time.Long Qing didn't speak.Instead, he nodded to express his acquiescence.

"Sure enough." Zhang Fan said in his heart.This is what he guessed just now.After all, this is the only thing that can be related to Richard and Joanna.Plus Long Qing's temper.In fact, Zhang Fan had already guessed it.I wasn't sure before because although he guessed right.But he didn't believe that Longqing's true nature as a financial fan had been brought into play to such an extent.It looks like now.Zhang Fan still underestimated Long Qing too much.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking bluntly." Zhang Fan shared some things.It is at this moment that the posture is corrected.Said to Long Qing solemnly. "What they are going to do. I have already told His Majesty before. Although those are just my guesses. But I dare to say. What they are going to do is definitely better than what I guessed Nothing less than that."

"Oh. How do you say that?" Long Qing heard this.Quickly asked.

"Your Majesty, this is how it happened." Zhang Fan explained. "I won't repeat what Weichen said before. After they pass by, occupy the money and manpower there. Use this method to help them make money without spending a penny of their own. It is conceivable that they will end up How many benefits can be obtained. And. The thing is not just like this. Your Majesty can think about it. They can not only let those enslaved by them help them make money. They can also let them help make firearms and other things. In this way If so, those Francines can save a lot of expenses for the army.

"And wait until a few more years. After they have become stronger because of this kind of exploitation, they will not be satisfied with just staying where they are. They will definitely think of other places to send troops and plunder again. After that, they will be left behind. The place is getting more backward. But the invaders like them are getting stronger."

"This...is this too much?" Long Qing heard Zhang Fan's words.asked some surprised. "It would be too inhumane to do so."

"Your Majesty is merciful. But His Majesty only saw what happened to those who suffered misfortune. He didn't look at the victors." Zhang Fan said. "Your Majesty must be clear. The history books of each dynasty are written by the people of the next dynasty. No matter how glorious the dynasty was, it will inevitably be slandered by those writers in the history books." It can only be. The description is extremely unbearable. Your Majesty. No matter what the history is, the history that people can see later is written by the victors.

"No matter how cruel and ruthless the victor is. No matter how gentle and kind the loser is. The winner is the king and the loser is Kou. This is the unchanging truth. As long as those Franji people rule Tianzhu, Mastered the power of life and death. After they have strengthened themselves, who would dare to speak ill of them. And those ruled by them. Even if they are dissatisfied, it is estimated that only half of the reason is due to those invasions Blame it on the Franji in their homeland. The other half is to blame on their own country.

"Your Majesty. This kind of thing. There is no such thing as humanity between countries. As long as they are two different countries. No matter how beautiful the past has been between them. As long as it is related to the rise and fall of the two countries .Any country will show its fangs without hesitation. When another country is unprepared, it will bite it to pieces. Or simply destroy them. Take advantage of them to make yourself more comfortable."

Zhang Fan's words made Long Qing think deeply.Long Qing has been on the throne since he was born.Not many years.And some of the decisions it makes about foreign countries are not many.And the word ferocity and humanity.In fact, it can't be used on Long Qing.

True.Regarding the treatment of the Yuanmeng Remnant Party in Mobei.Long Qing also maintained his usual tough style.For the other party's invasion, there is no compromise at all.But this was not the behavior of Long Qing alone.Which emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not like this.Whether it is the very playful Emperor Zhengde.Or an emperor with an extremely weird temperament like Longqing's father Jiajing.In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were so many emperors with eccentric personalities.However, no one will make any compromise on this matter with Yuan Meng.For the Zhu family.Fighting against the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty has been implemented in their blood.became a kind of nature.

And besides that.Long Qing had no contact with other international affairs.until now.Zhang Fan said these words to him.

yes.Treat the people of your own country.No matter what method you use.Just in moderation.Whether it is hard or soft.No one will take care of you.And when dealing with other countries.If you still want to use a soft method.That is being cruel to yourself.

"I understand this too. It's just..." Long Qing said. "...It's just that it will only happen when the two countries are at war. And what I'm talking about now is just like the group of Franji people. A country has not provoked them. It is even far from their country Tens of thousands of miles. And they fight just like that. Is this..."

"Your Majesty understands what I mean. It's just that it's not what it used to be." Zhang Fan said. "At that time, our Zheng He and Eunuch Zheng made seven voyages to the West. At that time, Europe did not have a ship as big as ours. Now they also have sea ships that can travel across the ocean. Plus the most important point. They because the country does not Big. But they all yearn for larger territories. Naturally, they have to go overseas to find these territories. It is natural that they encounter local people and want to forcibly occupy their property.”

After Long Qing listened.shook his head.I don't know if I am lamenting the wrongness of this approach.Still denying something.

"Actually, Your Majesty. We can do the same." Zhang Fan said suddenly.Changed Long Qing's mind. "And if we do it, we don't need to use knives and guns at all. Of course. The strength of the guard is still needed. But we don't need to mobilize a large army. We can get a lot of things done. And that way. We earn more than those There will be no shortage of Europeans."

Hear Zhang Fan's words.Long Qing's eyes were bright again.
