Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 167 Lin Che explains the basic elements of China’s rejuvenation

Wait until Lin Che takes the seat.

Zhu Xi picked up the century-old daughter's red wine and filled Lin Che's glass of wine:

"Sir, this is your favorite Shaoxing Nuerhong. It goes perfectly with Qingfenglou's whole chicken banquet."

As he spoke, he pulled off a greasy chicken leg and handed it over.

Lin Che has always been rude to food.

He took the chicken leg and bit into it unceremoniously. The taste was indeed very tender.

Then I tasted the red wine and was full of praise.

It has to be said that Zhu Xi is not good at studying, but he enjoys this enthusiasm.

This is true in the imperial prison. After leaving the imperial prison, when it comes to taking care of people, Zhu Ping definitely ranks first.

After finishing eating the chicken drumsticks with enjoyment, Lin Che looked sideways at Zhu Cang and started today's lesson without any nonsense.

Lin Che had a good grasp of Zhu Xi's psychology. Although this kid was not good at studying, he had a good attitude.

The key is that he still respects himself, so he has to teach him some knowledge.

I think it will help him in the future.

He took a sip of wine, looked at Zhu Xi and asked a question:
"Have you ever thought about why every time our Chinese people are on the verge of crisis, there are always heroes from the Han family who revive our Chinese country?"

While Zhu Xi was eating the food, he didn't take Lin Che's sudden question seriously.

He replied in a matter-of-fact tone:
"Of course we, the Chinese, have numerous talents, but the Hunu Tatars have no luck for the country!"

"You're partly right..."

"But if you think about it further, what conclusions can you draw?"

Lin Che showed a rare encouraging smile and signaled the other party to keep up their efforts.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xi couldn't help but panic when he saw Lin Che's smile.

Although Zhu Ming was a little reckless, he was not stupid. Every time Lin Che smiled at him like this, it meant his answer.

It's basically a long way from the correct answer.

Zhu Xi pressed his eyebrows and began to think deeply about Lin Che's question.

result.

He was shocked to find that there were many reasons why China could always recover from the barbarians.

But except for the heroic figures, he couldn't grasp the clue for a while.

Lin Che saw that Zhu Xi was thinking seriously, but still couldn't come up with an answer.

I realized that this question was still a bit difficult for this kid.

He took the initiative to explain:

"The most important reason why China has been able to revive many times is China's geographical advantage!"

"First of all, it is vast and the country's territory is large enough."

"Even if we encounter a catastrophic barbarian invasion of the Central Plains, as long as there are heroes who raise troops far away from the Central Plains, the barbarians will not be able to detect it for a while. By the time they want to contain it, it will already be a conflagration."

When Zhu Ping heard this novel theory, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Because of one of the reasons for the collapse of Meng Yuan.

Because the country was too large, the corrupt imperial court did not have the time to annihilate the rebels who resisted.

So much so that the sparks scattered and eventually the world was lost.

Seeing Zhu Chong understand something.

Lin Che paused and then continued:

"Most of the outer parts of our country are plateaus and mountains, while the inner parts are fertile plains, which are very easy to breed a strong center."

"If the core of the country is strong, it will have the foundation to conquer the world and establish a unified country!"

"So since ancient times, there has been a saying of chasing the Central Plains, because after occupying the fertile land of the Central Plains, you will have the ability to reorganize the rivers and mountains and conquer the separatist forces in various parts of China one by one."

Emperor Hongwu defeated Chen Youliang that year.

It just established the qualifications to unify the world.

And the Northern Expedition army he sent defeated the Mongolian and Yuan armies in the Central Plains.

He beat Meng Yuan until he fled back to the Mobei grassland from the Central Plains.

This is the key battle to seize China's legal authority.

When it came to military affairs, Zhu Xi suddenly became very interested and his mind was spinning rapidly.He also concluded:

"Sir, I thought about the history books I read."

"The heroes who can take back the world from the barbarians are far away from the barbarian capital when they raise their troops."

"Even if it's not far away, after encountering failure, I will flee to a suitable place and restart the stove."

Zhu Xi, a child who grew up in the feudal era, could come to this conclusion.

It really made Lin Che a little impressed.

He smiled and asked again:

"You are right. When raising troops to resist the barbarians, the first step is to stay away from their main force, but there is another issue to consider. Guess what it is?"

Zhu Xi rarely received recognition from Lin Che.

He replied with joy:

"I think it's time to find a place where it's easy to escape when you're weak."

"If the barbarian army comes, I will lead the army to run away. We will come back after they leave."

When Lin Che heard this, she almost sprayed wine in Zhu Ming's face.

He was speechless:

"When your forces are weak, you really can't go head-to-head with the barbarian army."

"But have you ever considered that if you keep running away, wouldn't you become a bandit?"

"Do you think there will be more capable people with lofty ideals who will join you?"

A very simple truth.

Most rogue bandits have no fighting ability.

Even though the number of people is huge, they are just a bunch of hungry people.

If you encounter a tough opponent, you will be beaten to ashes in minutes.

Zhu Fang knew that he had got carried away and gave the wrong answer.

He quickly bowed his head to Lin Che and said:
"Sir, I was overthinking it, please teach me!"

Lin Che was very satisfied with Zhu Xi's attitude of knowing his mistakes and correcting them.

He took a breath, put down the wine bowl, and said:

"When choosing a place to raise troops, the first important thing is to find a place with mountains, water and mines."

"Big mountains can be built to block the enemy's invasion passes. Water transportation can reduce the consumption of food transportation and make it easier for you to send troops to conquer the barbarians."

"As for the mine, it means that your armor and weapons will not be controlled by others."

The last point is the most important.

Although China has a vast territory and abundant resources, it is rich in various mineral resources.

But there are also many places where there are no mines.

If you choose to raise your troops here, your soldiers and armor will not be replenished, and defeat will be a matter of time!

Zhu Xi nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood what Lin Che meant.

However, he had just made a fool of himself because of his pride, but he did not dare to express his opinions again.

Lin Che continued to talk.

"The second reason why China can be revitalized many times is the great rivers that traverse the country."

"Not only does it facilitate transportation, but it can also irrigate a lot of land along the way, and merchants can also transport goods by water."

“Basically all the value of agriculture, industry and commerce has been taken into account!”

Zhu Ping heard about the river, which also had an impact on the renaissance of China.

He couldn't help but ask:

"Sir, don't rivers exist in all countries? How can they be considered the main reason for China's rejuvenation?"

Lin Che swallowed the chicken in her mouth, smiled lightly and said:

"Do you think that other countries in the world have monopolized the Yellow River and Yangtze River like China?"

"Similar big rivers can even cross several countries in places like Middle East and Europe!"

"What do you think will happen if a country that occupies the source of a river cuts off the water source?"
