Chapter 316 Annan’s version of Ruan Jingwei

"...The common people think that your Majesty's New Deal is feasible for three reasons. First, His Majesty's New Deal is novel enough, and neither the things it does nor the people it uses are derived from the old, and there are very few constraints;

Secondly, His Majesty's New Deal has lofty intentions and is indeed benefiting the people. The longer it goes, the more stable it will be. Thirdly, His Majesty is well versed in the method of self-preservation. The Navy is the New Deal, and the New Deal will not stop as long as the Navy does not sink. "

When answering this question, Ruan Xiangjiang stood up and knelt on the steps again. He even glanced at Wang Chengen and only started to speak when he saw that the emperor had no expression.Even though he was quite strong inside, he couldn't help but feel fear, and his voice trembled slightly.

These three reasons are not so much praising the emperor as analyzing the emperor, and they are not all merits.It means that people and things cannot be obtained from the past. Translated, it means that it cannot get the support of most forces and has to start from scratch.

Especially the last one, it is simply said that the emperor can respect himself by supporting the army, which is completely unreasonable. Anyone who objects will let the army come.In the Ming Dynasty, when Confucianism was in power, this was called militarism and failure to accept loyal advice, which were standard habits of a faint king.

In front of the emperor, he said in a roundabout way that the emperor was a foolish emperor who had no support from the court and was resorting to violence. The probability of not being beaten to death on the spot was only [-]%, and the probability of not being dragged down and beaten to death was probably only [-]%. One percent.

"...If the ministers of this dynasty were half as good as you, Annan would have perished long ago! Now I will give you two ways to survive. One, stay in this dynasty as an official. First, go to the Sixth Ministry of Justice and become a ninth-grade secretary. Get familiar with it. The government will make promotions based on the situation in a few years. As long as they can perform normally, I don't think it will be a problem to join the cabinet within ten years.

Second, to serve in the Naval Staff, you must first study in my school for about two years.You also said that the navy is my arm. Although the rank is not as high as that of the cabinet bachelor, its future development is not necessarily low. "

At this time, Hong Tao glanced at Wang Chengen again and sighed again.No matter what, there was only one of his own around him. The blame that should have been shared equally by Wang An, Ye Xianggao, Yuan Keli, Yuan Yingtai and others all fell on his young shoulders.

"..." Fortunately, Wang Chengen has been in the Cuju team for so many years and has already mastered the skill of taking the blame. This grievance is really nothing.Not only was he not aggrieved, he also winked at Ruan Xiangjiang, asking him to thank him quickly.

"...The grassroots people dare to ask Your Majesty to give you another way to survive. Compared with the previous two roads, the grassroots people's road can bring more benefits to the Ming Dynasty, and it can also benefit the people of Annan a lot."

Ruan Xiangjiang probably struggled hard in his heart for a while, but in the end he refused to follow the good advice and once again grabbed the ground with his head, taking great risks to plead with the emperor to show his kindness one more time.

"Bold! Lord Long Live's words are holy decrees. How can we change them at will? People overseas are incomprehensible! Lord Long Live, please give this person to your slaves to teach him well. He will definitely be enlightened before dinner."

Before the emperor could say anything, Wang Chengen became anxious. He pointed at Ruan Xiangjiang and cursed loudly. He also took the initiative to ask for help, intending to use the Cuju team's method to educate him and let him know what it meant to give up when he was good.

So far, he still doesn't know the origin of Ruan Xiangjiang, but through the conversation between the two people, he has learned that this person is of great use to the emperor.That is one of our own people. If the emperor is not easy to say, you will say it yourself. If the emperor is not easy to use, you will do it yourself.

The purpose is one, to retain this person on the premise of preserving the emperor's face. You cannot force it, you must be willing to do so. Afterwards, you must beat your chest and express your deep regret to the emperor for being blind to the mountains. "Did you see that the people around me want to save your life. But I am not particularly fond of talents. The new policy will be the same without you. Think about it after you think about it, and tell me the best way to get the best of both worlds!"

Hong Tao firmly believes that as long as Ruan Xiangjiang is handed over to Wang Chengen, he will become a yes man without waiting for dark.Although the Gecko Organization was established later than Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it has already caught up with them in terms of its ability to torture people and ask them to tell the truth.

In addition to his own good teaching, he also has to rely on the young eunuchs for their gifts.Some things may feel burdensome for adults to do, but for teenagers to do them, they feel no pressure and even find it fun.

However, there is no shortage of yes-men around me, and the preciousness of some people is not entirely reflected in their talents.Their talents are often closely linked to whether their spine is intact. Once the spine is interrupted, there will be no talent at all.

"The common people thanked Your Majesty for your kindness... The common people want to turn Annan into the second Guangdong for Your Majesty and implement the New Deal. They will keep a part of all output for themselves and give the rest to Your Majesty as a vassal tribute to the Ming Dynasty!"

Ruan Xiangjiang finally raised his head and took the opportunity to thank the emperor and nodded slightly to Wang Chengen to express his gratitude.Then he took a deep breath and spoke his request out loud.

"...I don't think Annan ruled by you will be more beneficial to the Ming Dynasty than Annan ruled by me!"

This request was indeed unexpected by Hong Tao, but it made sense after thinking about it carefully. Joining if you can't beat him, apart from the fact that it doesn't sound good to say it out loud, is indeed a realistic choice for small and weak countries. It is better than being conquered by force.But whether you should agree or not depends on the specific conditions. Just having a general outline is useless.

"Otherwise, although the Ming Dynasty is strong, it is not suitable for the terrain and climate of Annan, and it costs a lot to station troops for a long time. The internal ethnic groups in Annan are messy, with conflicting habits and language barriers, which makes management quite troublesome. There are two major forces in the west, Chenla and Siam, looking for opportunities to take advantage of the situation. However, even if the navy has sharp guns, it will be difficult to defeat them in one fell swoop, and the war will be even more expensive.

If the grassroots can get His Majesty's support, they are willing to implement the new policy in the areas controlled by the Ruan family first, and then gradually convince other chieftains in the south.By then, Annan would not only be able to provide sufficient tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but also serve as His Majesty's main camp heading west into Chenla and Siam, eliminating the burden of thousands of miles of transportation.

Only 5 years... no no... 3 years are enough. If there is no result within 3 years, His Majesty can send the navy to Hue City to capture the grassroots and deal with it, which will be easy. "

Ruan Xiangjiang obviously has a solid case for this set of rhetoric, and he can answer it very fluently. He only made some temporary adjustments to some specific data to enhance the cost-effectiveness.

"...I need to build a naval camp near Shuncheng and station it for a long time. Is there a suitable port?" To be honest, Hong Tao was really convinced. If this guy lived in the Republic of China, he might not have anything to do with Wang Jingwei.

Compared with Ruan Xiangjiang's plan, the previous method of instigating internal strife among the various ethnic groups in Annan was useless. In terms of cost-reward ratio and stability, it was not as beneficial as having a puppet court to help manage it.
