Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 485: All parties are shocked (2)

"There are bound to be many people sleepless tonight."

Under the starry sky, the cold wind howled, and outside the brightly lit Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao had a big cloak on his shoulders, his hands behind his back, his deep eyes looked at the bright moon, and he showed a faint smile.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand something."

Zhu Yujian, who was accompanying him, tightened his cloak, showed a hint of confusion, looked at Zhu Youxiao and said: "Since the water transportation case in Shandong involves more than just the Qi Party, why did you order to arrest only Qi Shijiao and them?"

"According to longevity, I should arrest everyone?"

Zhu Youxiao looked calm and walked forward. Seeing this, Zhu Yujian hurriedly followed Zhu Youxiao.

"I feel...since they have violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, manipulated the extremely important government of the country, and used power for personal gain, then they should all be arrested."

Zhu Yujian paused for a moment, and seeing that his emperor was silent, he said what he was thinking, "For no other reason than this, the imperial court wants to tell the whole world through this arrest and execution that no matter who dares to touch this bottom line in the future, It will all end badly!"

"This is indeed the right way."

"But it's a pity that I can't do this."

"Think about it for a long time, if there is really barren land outside China, why do those who can't survive in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi and other places choose to go to sea? Many of those concentrated lands came back from overseas and were exchanged for They wantonly merged with each other after gaining an identity."

"There are so many hidden interests in that vast sea. All dynasties have said that the territories outside China are mostly barren and uncivilized wilderness, but that is only at the official level. This is for It is to prevent more people from knowing the richness of the depths of the sea.”

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "In front of the name of profit, even a high-ranking emperor can't guarantee what will happen if he dares to touch some deep-rooted interests."

"Like the Japanese rebellion that occurred in the southeastern coastal areas during the reign of Emperor Sejongsu, it may indeed be due to lax military preparedness, but in the final analysis, the root cause is maritime affairs."

Zhu Youxiao smiled, but there was a sigh in his words, "If it happened in Taizu's dynasty, or Chengzu's dynasty, this is undoubtedly the best way, which can not only shock the young people, but also reduce the court's losses. to the lowest.”

"if not?"

"Can Changshou guarantee that there will be no more Japanese invasions along the coasts of the southeastern provinces, or even deep into the hinterland of South Zhili?"

"Every bustle in the world comes because of profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world goes away because of profit."

This……

"If I really want to do this, if nothing else, I am afraid that water transportation will be completely disrupted. If it is more serious, the entire southeastern provinces will be disrupted."

Zhu Yujian was surprised. He didn't know if a thorough investigation of the water transport deficit was necessarily related to the Japanese rebellion.

Zhu Yujian opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Your Majesty means that...the Japanese rebellion that occurred during Emperor Sejongsu's reign was caused by internal traitors colluding with the Japanese?"

Zhu Youxiao asked back: "Even when the Japanese rebellion first appeared, it is undeniable that there were real Japanese pirates, but there are too many strange things in it. The territory of our Ming Dynasty is so vast, and the Japanese pirates are so small. The key is that there are not yet If they are truly unified, why can they defeat our country?"

"They look like dwarfs?"

Zhu Yujian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but thinking of the current atmosphere, Zhu Yujian could only hold back and not laugh anymore. "Even most people in our country don't know what the internal situation is like in the southeastern provinces of our country." Zhu Youxiao continued without paying attention.

"But some Japanese pirates were able to march straight to the key points, even with a small number of enemies. The key is to win. If no one provides information, I don't believe it."

"So Your Majesty is worried that doing things too hastily may make some people jump over the wall?"

Zhu Yujian understood.

"Yes, one advantage can make too many people take risks."

Zhu Youxiao said sadly: "What's more, when I first came to the throne of Yuji, in order to break the situation, I asked Chen Qiyu to go to Tianjin to open the sea to allow the Western Yi merchants to go north."

"At present, the maritime power controlled by the center is still very weak. It only has the ability to protect itself in the offshore. If the Western Yi are asked to know the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty, who can ensure that these pirates will choose to unite to invade the coast of the Ming Dynasty? "

"Don't forget, those merchants on the southeastern coast are harmless to humans and animals in our Ming Dynasty, but they are all bandits when they leave the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how did Changshou think they got their money? It's really just relying on Earned from sea trade?"

"That's not quite true."

Zhu Yujian frowned and said: "The rules of my Ming Dynasty are the rules in the Ming Dynasty, but they are not the same after leaving the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes."

Zhu Youxiao said with emotion: "Da Ming once had a lot, but as time went by, too much was lost. What I am doing now is to gather these things that I once had but were thrown away into the hands of Ming again. Only in this way can the Ming Dynasty be saved."

The Ming Dynasty that Zhu Youxiao took over was an extremely complicated Ming Dynasty.

Internal and external troubles are extremely serious.

It's like walking between cliffs. If you are not careful, you may be doomed!

"I figured it out!"

While Zhu Youxiao was lamenting, Zhu Yujian said excitedly: "Your Majesty used the Shandong water transport case to uproot the Qi Party. It seemed that he was just knocking on the mountain to frighten the tigers, in order to frighten the parties and factions in the DPRK. In fact, he also had a hidden intention, that is, to use the sword to It is hung high, so that people who don't know what to do are always staring at this hanging sword."

"In this way, they have worries. They don't know when the sword will fall, so they will not choose to take risks until the last moment. After all, if they really take this step, they may suffer great losses, or even be wiped out!"

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and praised without hesitation: "Since the advantage is in our own hands, there is no need to follow other people's rhythm. We can completely follow our own pace."

"I want to make it clear to everyone through this action that you should not go too far in anything you do. If you really want to cross my bottom line, then I will kill them first even if I don't give up on Daming."

It’s so cruel!

Zhu Yujian felt deep in his heart that if such a thing happened to him, he would never dare to make such a decision. After all, if he got to that point, the Ming Dynasty might have big problems. If the Ming Dynasty was really ruined in his own hands, Then how could he have the face to meet his ancestors?

"Whether you are a person or a person in power, you must have ruthlessness." Zhu Youxiao saw Zhu Yujian's thoughts and said meaningfully: "You must know how to hide this ruthlessness, and don't think about exposing it. , a proper explosion at the right time is far more powerful than a roar of incompetence, this is power!"
