Chapter 293 God’s Son
"What the hell? Tianhe! Governor Yuan, you really disappoint me by thinking this way! If I am really sent from heaven, then the whole world should be left to my management. Why divide it into dozens or hundreds of countries? What about different emperors and kings?

This is exactly the same as the method you and I just discussed. The final result is not beneficial at all except for the emperor and the king to fight each other and the people's lives to be ruined.

As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, your daily thought must be how to feed and clothe the people of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, it would be dereliction of duty.I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not the emperor of the world. Even if I want to worry about the people of the world, I have to wait until I am recognized by them.

My only job now is to find a way to ensure that the people of the Ming Dynasty can eat and drink without any worries, and to protect the border areas of the Ming Dynasty from foreign threats.As for the people of other countries, in my eyes they are no different from cattle and sheep. In addition to killing them to eat meat, they also put on reins and work.

Your navy is here to help me go to other countries to kill people and seize territory. So I want to ask you, from now on, do you want to have the whole world in your heart, or do you want to kill the whole world for the people of the Ming Dynasty? "

If asked by others, including Li Zhi and Yuan Yingtai, Hong Tao would not tell him what he was thinking.Their worldview, values, and outlook on life are completely different from their own, and they can partially agree with them. However, they cannot change their ideas if they encounter conflicts that are too conflicting.

But things like Wang An, Wang Chengen, and Yuan Keli are different. They also have their original three views, but they are not very solid and are more susceptible to change due to external influences.

Especially Yuan Keli, perhaps due to his work, he has changed more than Wang An and Wang Chengen. In a few years, he has completely broken away from the mindset of the Ming Dynasty scholars, and has made great strides from an idealist to a pragmatist.

Should it or not?Hong Tao doesn't know either, but he knows that with every additional Yuan Keli, he will get one point easier and get closer to his goal.So don't worry about whether it's right or not, go ahead and do it later.

"Be the enemy of the whole world?"

Just as Hong Tao predicted, Yuan Keli was not frightened by this outrageous statement, but paid more attention to feasibility.Moral correctness cannot bring more benefits to the people. This is the answer he has summarized over the years.

If it can make Ming Dynasty rich and powerful without morality, there is no harm in giving it a try.But there is a prerequisite, that is, you must see the feasibility, and don't end up becoming the target of public criticism, and ultimately be ruined and unable to do anything.

"Theoretically, it won't happen in practice. The world is too big, countries are far apart, and their languages ​​and cultures are not the same. We don't need to be enemies of the whole world from the beginning, but conquer the nearest ones first. Every conquest One person will get more help, and so on, if everything goes well, we should be the ones who are successful and get more help."

Whether it can be done or not, Hong Tao really doesn't dare to draw a conclusion now.But there is a small early goal that should be achieved. First, control Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia, and gradually eliminate the influence of Islam.Earn huge profits through maritime trade and block the eastward march of Europeans on the sea.

The European countries that have entered the Age of Discovery and have tasted enough sweetness will definitely not be willing to retreat. If they are sure that they cannot break through on the sea, they will definitely think of other ways, such as through land.

But as long as the Europeans dared to come, they were trapped.By then, not only will the expeditionary force be unable to return, but the overwhelming Ming army will also be following behind them.Hong Tao could just use this as an excuse to persuade the courtiers to launch a war against the Central Asian countries, clearing the way to the west in one fell swoop, and bringing all the countries along the way into the Ming Dynasty's territory.The ultimate goal is the Ottoman Empire, which has abundant oil and coal reserves and guards the nearest maritime communication route between Asia and Europe. Even if it is not used now, it must be preserved for future generations.

"...In this way, wouldn't His Majesty become the Khan of Heaven among the Mongols?" Hong Tao just picked up his mouth and said it without any psychological burden. Yuan Keli listened with great difficulty, and had to carefully consider every word. Only then dare to ask questions.

"It's different. The Mongolians are like wolves on the grassland. They have no motherland and no land. Any place with prey can be their home. Therefore, they are not good at construction and management. They eat up and leave. Those who have nothing to eat can only starve to death."

I cannot move around with the people of the Ming Dynasty, so I must build and manage it, and spread the teachings of the saints to the whole world, so that everyone can live in their own place and enjoy themselves according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty. "

Although Hong Tao was extremely aggressive and ruthless at heart, he really looked down upon what Genghis Khan did and never considered Genghis Khan to be part of the history of Chinese culture.The rise of Mongolia has its own special historical background and cultural reasons, which cannot be copied or learned.

Regardless of invasion or colonization, we must always bring more advanced civilization to the local people and push history forward.Killing people along the way, eventually exterminating civilization and leaving nothing behind, is a regression of civilization.Using this kind of person to describe yourself is not a compliment, but more like an insult.

"...I just don't know if people all over the world are willing." Why spread the saint's teachings all over the world? If he said this a few years ago, Yuan Keli would definitely be filled with yearning and excitement in his heart, but now it doesn't work anymore.

He knew very well how far the emperor's teachings from saints were from the true teachings of saints, and he had no interest in being the disseminator.But when it comes to making people live and work in peace and contentment, the emperor does have this ability.

"Then it depends on your ability, Mr. Li. Didn't the ancients say, be polite first and then fight. You can't take what I don't give you! You can't refuse what I give you. Don't forget, I am the Son of Heaven. What is the gift of heaven? Accept the truth, thunder, rain and dew are all gifts from heaven...hehehehe!"

As he gets older or his status changes, Hong Tao can clearly feel that a force is awakening in his body.It is not a super power, but the spiritual power of the previous life.Thinking about problems, speaking, and doing things become more and more like your original self.Spending 20 years living under the influence of others in Daming is basically in vain.

"The people of Annan are suffering..." Seeing the emperor's strange smile, Yuan Keli felt for the first time that God was nothing. Thunder, rain, and dew were all gifts from God, and he couldn't give them up.

"It's better to think more about yourself first, and take me to the warehouse to take a look immediately. If a problem is found, the thunder and rain will fall on your head first!" As long as Yuan Keli does not object clearly, the remaining problems will be solved. not a problem.

But in terms of naval construction, I have to pay more attention to it, especially the warehouses for storing ammunition.If that thing explodes, someone has to take responsibility.The Wang Gong Factory explosion eliminated the Minister of Industry. As the direct manager, Yuan Keli would definitely not be able to escape. He must not die before leaving the army.
