After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

And I remember that when the Tianfang envoys left, Emperor Zhu rewarded them with a lot of gold, silver and jewels, comforted them, and sent people to escort them out of the country.

Now that things have passed for more than a month, did the emperor realize that they should be punished?
If it was because of his slow reaction, how slow was his brain nerve, and it took a month to react to the punishment?The reaction speed of this brain is probably not even comparable to the second idiot in the village.

This fall is for him!

At this time, Emperor Zhu was like a bully in the eyes of the officials.I didn’t bully you a few days ago and even gave you food because I didn’t want to bully you.If I want to bully you today, then I can change my face immediately.Then find any reason to beat you up, saying that you didn't wear a hat today, or that you lifted your left foot first when you walked.

"Your Majesty, the small country in Tianfang has provoked the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. It is indeed time to teach me a lesson!" At this time, Yang Xian stepped forward and said, "Although it has been a month since the incident, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to think of beating them now." It's too late. His Majesty didn't punish them before because he wanted them to be happy for a while, but in the end, he found that the happiness was in vain."

"Doing this will show my Daming's unfathomable power!"

"rational!"

"rational!"

All the ministers said one after another.

"My Majesty, please send troops immediately to attack Tianfang!" A general immediately stood up and said.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

A group of civil servants also responded.

They were not stupid either. Zhu Yuanzhang brought up the old matter again, and they quickly guessed that the emperor wanted to attack them now, not because their envoys had violated the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.

It's because they have a lot of oil!

Emperor Zhu emphasized the value of so many Dongfang Iron Dragons in front of his officials, and emphasized that oil is a necessity for Dongfang Iron Dragons. It is absolutely impossible to talk nonsense.

As for why you don't just talk about attacking but beat around the bush, it's very simple. There must be a reason for fighting, which is called being famous.And to say everything directly, isn't it too silly and sweet?
If you want to fight, just fight.After listening to the emperor's description of Dongfeng Citroen, the officials could also realize the great significance of Dongfeng Citroen to the Ming Dynasty.We can also realize the important strategic value of oil.

For the prosperity and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and for the rise of the Chinese nation, it must be fought.

Again, the behavior of a country cannot be judged by personal moral standards.There is no friendship or hatred between countries, but only interests.

For the happiness of hundreds of millions of descendants in future generations, it doesn't matter if this generation remains infamous for thousands of years?

Even if the history books say that these people are militaristic, so what?

What's more, it won't be stigmatized for thousands of years, because history is written by the victors, and the literati of Ming Dynasty will definitely describe this war as an absolutely just war and pass it on to future generations.

And there are reasons, after all, the Tianfang envoys did provoke the majesty of Ming Dynasty, didn't they?The so-called famous teacher is to give later historians the material that can be used to beautify.

Besides, beating others is not necessarily doing evil. For example, Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, and he also attacked the six countries to kill people.But that is not doing evil, but a thousand years of merit.

All the ministers agreed to go to war.

In the current Great Ming Dynasty Hall, there are very few people who oppose the start of the war.

After all, Confucianism is no longer dominant.

The current dominant idea in the court is Qin Yu's idea of ​​building a country with Tao.Dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, the Ming Dynasty should be wolves, not dogs.

The previous thinking was that dogs travel thousands of miles. For example, in the Song Dynasty, when they saw a foreign country, they would lick them and give them New Year coins, but they were very fierce to the people inside, and they kept increasing taxes.

If you want to be fierce, be fierce to outsiders, this is Daming's style.

Of course, even if the courtiers objected, it would not work. Who told them to meet Emperor Zhu?If there is someone who is not open-eyed and wants to die, then what is waiting for him will be Emperor Zhu's family and family extermination to make an example to others.

Emperor Zhu would not hesitate for a second when killing people.

And he was also worried that he couldn't find a chicken to kill chickens and monkeys.

Anyone who wants to shoot him at gunpoint would be very welcome.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang still said that starting a war is starting a war without any hesitation.There is no way, the current money of the Ming Dynasty is enough for the emperor to fight.Historically, when Zhu Di wanted to go to war, his fat son stopped him and said that Daming had no money.Zhu Di had to discuss with Zhu Gaochi in a low voice and ask him to get more money for him to go to war. During Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, he said he could fight.

Without any hesitation.

There is such a big difference, the fundamental reason is that the economy has developed during the Hongwu period.

Wealth is in the hands of the state, not in the hands of the feudal aristocracy.In order to get Zhu Di money for the war, Zhu Gaochi had to compromise with those feudal nobles.

He interceded for those "remnants of Jianwen" and saved their lives, just because of kindness?
"Sapphire!" Zhu Yuanzhang began to order.

"The end is here!" Hearing this, Lan Yu stood out of the train overjoyed.

"Tell me, if you were asked to lead troops to fight Tianfang, how would you fight?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"How else can we fight? Just crush them with the momentum of thunder." Lan Yu said, and cupped his hands to Zhu Yuanzhang, "Please ask the emperor to give the last general ten thousand elites. Razed to the ground, and captured their king and prophet alive. Your Majesty, if this trip cannot be completed, I am willing to come to see you!"

Now that Daming has a magical machine gun, it is easy to catch a backward Tianfang?
Therefore, Sapphire is extremely confident.

"Forget it, you are not suitable for this expedition." Zhu Yuanzhang said, it seems that he was not satisfied with Lan Yu's answer, "Retire."

"Xu Da!"

"The minister is here!" Xu Da stood out of the train, this time it was his turn to be overjoyed.

"This time we attack Tianfang, you will be the commander!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Lead the fleet of the Daming Navy, set off from Jinling Port, bypass Malacca, and go straight to the Persian Gulf!"

"Leading the navy to go out and arrive at Tianfang, I am afraid that the Tianfang envoys who traveled by land have not yet arrived home. They were happy that we pardoned and rewarded them one second, and found that we have already stolen their hometown in the next second."

"I obey the order!" Xu Da was extremely excited.

"The third point." Zhu Yuanzhang said to the officials again, "In the future, the Ming Dynasty will build a lot of Dongfang Iron Dragons, and the demand for steel is too great. Shanxi's coal mining industry, and foundry companies make steel and iron, as well as iron mines. The mining must be accelerated."

"According to the order!"

Now the Ming Dynasty needs steel to develop warships, to manufacture textile machines, and to manufacture Dongfang Tielong.It can be said that since the beginning of Ming Dynasty's development, the demand for steel has never stopped.

The demand for coal has never stopped.

And it seems that the gap in demand is getting bigger and bigger.

Steel is the basic raw material for all industries, otherwise how can it be called the steel industry?
