Chapter 1921 Hegemony!

The news of Qin Mochan's resignation quickly spread throughout the world, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially those who secretly hate Ming and Qin Mo.

For example, the remnants of the Northwest slaves, those who survived the war in the Western Region, and the Xingan people.

Li Ran happily said to his ministers: "Qin Mo gives in, Chief Qin takes the throne, and the new emperor is far less powerful than Qin Mo. This is also our chance."

Xingan and all the ministers nodded.

Li Xian said: "We don't have much time left. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will inevitably promulgate his own policies for governing the country. Judging from the habits of the Ming emperors, each generation of emperors has their own philosophy of governing the country, and the philosophy is to uphold the The concept of the previous emperor was continued.

This means that the new policy of governing the country will be more reliable.

In order to establish his power, the new emperor will definitely resort to war, so we must be fully prepared! "

Everyone present couldn't help but frowned. The Ming threat theory was no longer a day or two.

So far, the population of Xingan is only about 1.2 million.

Until now, the entire country has just got rid of hunger, thanks to the various food seeds cultivated by the Ming Dynasty.

There are also potatoes and sweet potatoes, these high-yielding crops. After surviving the most difficult first two years, the national treasury is finally rich in food this year.

And the people also had surplus food in their homes, and the court also relaxed.

If we continue to give them a few more years, Xingan will definitely become a powerful nation.

Everything is moving in the right direction.

But Ming Dynasty is always like a knife hanging over everyone's heads, and it may fall at any time.

"Currently, the country's war preparation food is enough to support the entire army for three years, and this is without harming the people." Li Xian is quite satisfied with this result. "In the past two years, the country has become a rope, fighting hard. Dedicated to the research and development of new weapons, cannons and muskets have been produced, although there is still a long way to go before the Ming Dynasty.

But by selling weapons, we have gotten out of our initial predicament.

At present, the entire army has been equipped with new firearms.

Not only that, there are 2,000 50-jin cannons in the country, 300 100-jin cannons, and 30 500-jin cannons.

We are already qualified to confront the Ming army head-on.

Of course, it is limited to ground encounters. Currently, there is no good way to deal with enemy fighters.

However, we have a vast territory and abundant resources, and the battery life of their fighters is a big problem.

If they want to fight continuously, they must continue to build airports. If they invest a lot of manpower and material resources here, it will be a burden to Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in the end, land warfare will still be the main focus. "

Li Ran told everyone's analysis these days, and everyone listened attentively.

It is no exaggeration to say that every subsequent battle is a battle for the fate of the country.

If they win, they still have a chance. If they lose, what awaits them will be a brutal massacre.

This meeting lasted for a full two hours before everyone dispersed.

Li Xian also said that his mouth was dry and he was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Ran, "Prime Minister, wait a minute!"

Li Xian stopped and said, "Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?" "Xiangguo has been working hard these days. Come and have dinner with me before leaving!" Li Ran said, "Then take a walk with me."

Li Xian nodded, and then had dinner with Li Ran, and then the two of them took a walk in the not-so-big palace.

Walking to the city wall, looking at the pedestrians coming and going in the capital, hurriedly walking under the sunset, Li Ran said: "It would be great if it could always be like this. If we are given another three to five years, maybe it will be different!"

Li Xianze said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to have any illusions. It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to tolerate us becoming powerful. Today, we have controlled the entire territory of Rus, which is intolerable to the Ming Dynasty.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? "

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Li Ran's eyes. I don't know since when, Li Xian's attitude towards him has changed significantly. Although he still gives him face in front of outsiders, in private, Li Xian talks to him. , very casual.

There were even times when he felt that he was not the emperor, but a minister of the other party.

But Li Xian had the power. He tested Li Xian more than once, but the answers he got made him very anxious.

This made Li Ran suspect that his cousin and prime minister had other ideas.

Two years ago, Li Ran still felt that Li Xian was doing everything for his own good and had great power, but he was also afraid that he would abuse his power.

But now, he has grown up. Being the emperor for two or three years has also allowed Li Ran to grow up.

The more he grows, the more he realizes how powerful Daming is.

Therefore, in his heart, he was still looking forward to bowing to Daming.

Apart from anything else, as long as he can retain his throne and merge into the Ming Dynasty, everyone will still have this high degree of autonomy.

And there is no need for everyone to live in fear.

Even if we really want to rebel against the Ming Dynasty in the future, there will still be enough time to develop.

And once Ming puts down his guard, they will have time to obtain a variety of weapons.

It was just the last test that made Li Ran understand that his uncle had no intention of bowing his head at all. He had the idea of ​​fighting the big fish to the death.

"Of course I understand, and I have never had any illusions." Li Ran laughed, not wanting Li Xian to notice his thoughts, "It's just that, Prime Minister, I have already reached the crown, can I really come to the court?" "

This was his second time testing Li Xian. To be honest, he was extremely nervous.

Li Xian turned to look at Li Ran and suddenly laughed, "Does Your Majesty think that a humble minister holding great power is a threat?"

No?
Li Ran suddenly felt panicked. If Li Xian didn't have great power, would he dare to talk to him like this?

"No, I don't mean that. I just want to share the pressure for the Prime Minister. I also know that in the past two years, the Prime Minister has worked hard for this country. Therefore, I want to fulfill my duties as an emperor instead of watching the Prime Minister work hard every day. Work hard!" Li Ran's mind was spinning rapidly.

"It is the duty of a minister to share your Majesty's worries and work hard for the country. Your Majesty does not need to feel sorry for the ministers!" Li Xiandao said: "It's just that the country is in danger now. When the crisis is resolved, the ministers will be demobilized and returned to their fields, returning their power to Your Majesty. .

Please don't worry, Your Majesty. I have no other thoughts. I just hope that our country can last for a long time. "

Li Ran cursed in his heart. Li Xian refused to return his rights for the second time, obviously not taking him seriously as the emperor.

Moreover, Li Ran also noticed that the guards not far away had their hands on the handles of their swords.

The look he looked at himself also had an inexplicable meaning.

This made him feel cold all over!
