Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 370 Hu Weiyong is different

Chapter 370 Hu Weiyong is different

Under the solemn eyes of all the princes, Mr. Hu wrote the names of Wala and Tatar on the top of the map.

He pointed at the map with a smile and said, "Do you feel a little headache now?"

"Do you think it's not that good to guard the border and become a vassal king with as many troops as King Yan?"

At this moment, as Master Hu's "classwork" continues to progress, all the princes are really interested in attending classes.

Seeing Mr. Hu asking questions, they actually didn't refuse to answer as hard as before.

Maybe it's because the atmosphere has reached this point, or maybe it's because Mr. Hu's explanation on the stage was so exciting that all the princes relaxed their guard.

Anyway, these princes really nodded in agreement at this moment.

In other words, they really admitted that they were afraid.

This was unimaginable before.

How could they say something that might displease Zhu Yuanzhang in a crowded place like the palace or the main hall?
But now?

That’s what they said!

Mr. Hu guessed that perhaps these brats really regarded this place as a classroom and themselves as teachers.

Only in this way can they dare to express their thoughts a little more boldly.

However, Mr. Hu is very pleased.

What's wrong with telling the truth?
No shame!
It's embarrassing to be secretive.

Mr. Hu looked at everyone and nodded: "Worry and fear are normal!"

"After all, as a human being, everyone may have ambitions. It may be possible to live a relaxed life and be happy every day. Who wants to be burdened with swords and axes and work hard every day?"

"On this point, I have a strong say!"

"Your father often lets me do the work, but I can hide whenever I can, and push whenever I can!"

"What?"

"Isn't it just to relax and have fun at home?"

"So, if you use yourself to save others, your little thoughts really don't mean anything!"

Mr. Hu's self-defeating words and words of explanation made all the princes who were a little worried at first smile.

They themselves didn't realize that their emotions and attention were now focused on Mr. Hu.

Although Mr. Hu has never been a teacher in his life, he was a serious person who could go up and brag for an hour when he held a training class in the company.

What's more, with two lifetimes of knowledge and experience, it's not difficult to fool the brats in front of you.

"Well, let's get down to business!"

"Although you admit that you are afraid of powerful enemies outside the country, this does not actually solve the problem."

"After all, no matter how scared you are, you can't refuse your father's future arrangements, right?"

"It's your turn to face it, then you must face it when the time comes!"

"Therefore, what we want to talk about now is how to deal with these foreign countries!"

"Not only must we be able to withstand their attacks and harassment, but we must also consider whether we can get any benefits from them!"

As soon as Mr. Hu said these words, the princes of the main hall put aside their words for the time being. Zhu Yuanzhang outside the window wanted to have his ears perked up.

He is interested in this matter!
He really wanted to hear this!
Tsk tsk, today is not in vain!

Mr. Hu can be regarded as fulfilling his responsibility as the prince's mentor today, and he has really started to work hard.

"As for how to deal with foreign tribes, there seem to be many opinions throughout the ages."

"In the Han Dynasty, there was Huo Qubing who sealed Langjuxu, and in the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing's three thousand elite soldiers raided the Turks. Even in the Song Dynasty, no matter how weak he was, there was Yue Pengju's deeds of guarding the rivers and mountains."

"From this point of view, it seems that there is nothing to talk about with the foreign races. It just depends on whether the country is strong and the military is strong, and then sending a reliable general to lead the army."

"But...is it really that simple?"

At this time, everyone had begun to think according to the ideas given by Mr. Hu. Is it really that simple?
All the princes shook their heads instinctively.

Although they didn't know what the correct answer was, they could imagine that Mr. Hu must have something different to teach them.

Mr. Hu was not disappointed that these brats failed to come up with any new answers.

After all, these people are not even good at words but weak at hand, they are just brats.

Therefore, he simply gave the answer directly.

"There are three things you should pay attention to when dealing with foreign tribes."

“First, you need to know yourself and your enemy!”

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy as I say is not just like the courtiers in the past who just roughly know the name of their nation, where they are, and how many troops they have."

"It seems that if you can do all of this, that's an incredible performance."

"But in my opinion, it's far from enough!"

"What does the other person do for a living?"

"What's the financial situation of the other party?"

"Is the opponent's attack method going to be cavalry or infantry?"

"How are the craftsmen of the other side? Do they know how to forge weapons and create siege equipment?"

"Does the other side have civil servants and generals? What are their abilities?"

"What advantages does the other party have over us?"

"..."

Mr. Hu asked a lot of questions like a barrage of cannons.

Then, without waiting for everyone present to answer, he answered with a smile: "These are the true ways to know yourself and your enemy!"

Looking at the somewhat confused eyes of the princes, Mr. Hu smiled.

"Do you think it's not necessary to know so much?"

Mr. Hu shook his head again and said: "You guys!"

"Your vision is limited!"

"Knowing more is not only to guard against them, but more importantly, to find benefits from inside!"

"It is said that fighting a war is a waste of military force and wastes money and people, but what is the actual situation?"

"That's because I don't know the other party well enough, so it's a bit thankless. It seems to have no use other than a good reputation!"

"But if you know enough, you can squeeze oil out of rocks!"

"Land, population, minerals, technology, territory..."

"As long as these things are understood in advance, they can be exchanged for the benefits of the empire!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang, who was listening outside, heard this, his face turned red with excitement, and he wished he could go in immediately and pull Mr. Hu to have a good talk.

But Mr. Hu’s story continues.

"After you know yourself and the enemy, the next day is to learn from the foreigners and learn skills to defeat the foreigners!"

"Of course we are the orthodox dynasty of the Central Plains and have been passed down for thousands of years, so we have our own style here."

"But we can't look down on people in the world just because of this!"

"Any nation that can stand tall in the forest of the world has its own strengths!"

"And we want to absorb their strengths and eventually turn them into our own strengths!"

"Third..."

As Mr. Hu narrated, the eyes of the princes who had only read the Four Books, Five Classics and the Book of War lit up one by one.

Darling, it turns out that class can be so interesting!
