Chapter 383 The Emperor's Statement
After a court discussion visited by foreign envoys, the trend of the court and the country suddenly changed from this endless internal and external troubles to the Western barbarians overseas.
People always have great interest in novel things. In the past, the government and the public always treated Western barbarians overseas with an attitude towards barbarians.
Just the title of Western Yi can be clearly seen.
In this way, it is naturally difficult to understand the Western Barbarians and have too much knowledge.
Li Xiu naturally would not have been so despised by the government and the world in the country.
In fact, since he started preparing for the Martial Arts Academy, he had already looked overseas because of the nature of the Martial Arts Academy.
After the problem of financial collapse arose, he paid more attention to overseas Western barbarians.
Under his instructions, the Jinyiwei also sent a team of elite troops to the sea and overseas to collect information about the Western barbarians overseas.
These information was also compiled early in the Martial Arts Academy and compiled into books, which were compulsory courses for students who studied in the Martial Arts Academy.
Therefore, in fact, in the army, the understanding of the overseas Western barbarian countries is actually much stronger than that of the civil officials in the court.
Now, the detailed information of the Western Barbarians was officially placed in front of the ministers as Li Xiu issued the books of his ministers.
This is the first time that the true veil of Western Yi has been clearly revealed in the court and the country.
Only then did people realize that outside the Ming Dynasty, the Western barbarian countries that were despised by the world had developed to a point where no one could look down upon them.
They all use small countries to build huge navy and plunder the world.
Such a bloody way of growth and development undoubtedly refreshed the cognition of many court officials.
However, in this era, those who can stand at the center of the court cannot see the offensiveness of the bloody development of the Western Barbarians overseas?
From the far west to the Ming Dynasty, I had tens of thousands of miles along the way, and I didn’t know how many lands and ethnic groups were plundered by these Western barbarians.
Just think about it briefly, in recent decades, the Western Barbarians and the turbulent winds and rains of the Ming Dynasty, we can clearly see the covetousness of the Western Barbarians for Daheng.
Of course, this is only secondary. Even if the Western barbarians develop in a plundering manner and are full of offensiveness, no one will think that the Western barbarians can pose too much threat to Daheng today.
What attracted the most attention of civil and military officials was the extremely exaggerated overseas wealth described in the book.
If it is something else, there may be people who question it, but any doubt seems to be powerless.
After all, it is not far away, and you have to experience the endless dangers on the vast sea!
Without great benefits, who would be willing to act like this?
No one would naively think that these Western barbarians have been stirring up wind and rain on the seashore for decades because of the order of a certain monarch.
Even for many civil officials in several provinces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province today, these things seem to be well-known. After all, on the coast, no one will be involved in the sea trade business.
No matter how honest you are, you cannot avoid family business involvement.
With such discussions, an obviously extreme fact was undoubtedly revealed.
That is, today, I have already expressed my extremely clear strategic tendency.
That's the ocean!
This emperor who had risen from a slightest and had his military service to conquer the world was no longer willing to quell the internal and external troubles and create a prosperous era like in all dynasties.
It is not just that it is simply promoting martial arts as if it were voyages to the West during the Yongle period, but that it is necessary to completely break the maritime ban like the Western barbarians. Daheng also wants to completely embark on the ocean and embark on an unprecedented path.
Between this sudden hustle and bustle, for many Jiangnan literati, this is undoubtedly a piece of news that cannot be worse than bad.
There are different positions and factions everywhere. Although there are people in Jiangnan today who fan the flames and the wind and rain, there are naturally people who just live by and are unwilling to break up with Daheng.
But no matter how you think, the emperor's statement clearly proves that Daheng will go to the ocean.
The ocean and sea border are originally an unordered and unregulated place, but now sea merchants are either powerful pirates themselves and are in disorder.
Or, it is to rely on the strategy of maritime ban and rely on power to monopolize maritime trade.
Or it is a maritime businessman who is dependent on power.
There is nothing else to do except this!
Once the imperial court enters the market, it will inevitably completely break the original order, and all legal orders will be reshaped.
New powerful forces will enter the market, and their remaining existences of the old order will inevitably be swept into the garbage dump ruthlessly.
It seems that the only thing that is for the literati and gentlemen in Jiangnan is that the emperor seems to have made a statement too early. In the current situation in the world, they still have extremely tolerant choices.
But it is precisely because the emperor made his statement too early that it feels that this is still a long time ago. After all, the current situation in the world is full of internal troubles and external enemies are prosperous. When all this is settled, I don’t know when it happened.
Even whether Daheng can pass through it is unknown.
As a result, this storm caused by Western Barbarians came and went quickly.
It seems that the only function is to give the government and the public a comprehensive and clear understanding of the Western barbarian countries for the first time.
In addition, it seems that it only aggravates the turmoil in people's hearts.
"Human hearts are the most difficult to control..."
In the Qianqing Palace, Li Xiu held a letter of memorial and said with emotion.
The reason why he made a statement to the ocean so early was actually not just a statement, nor was he just using it to help court officials to understand the Western barbarians.
The most important thing is that he, the head of the Wuxun Group, gave the entire Wuxun Group a reassurance.
From ancient times to the present, the obsession of Chinese people with land has been indescribable.
Whether it is a scholar, a farmer, a craftsman, or a merchant...
In this era, as long as anyone in this nation has a little wealthy family, they will try their best to purchase land. Those with more spare money have hundreds of thousands of acres, even tens of thousands of acres, and hundreds of thousands of acres.
But there is only so much land. Even though there are land renovations every year, those who have the ability to open up land are definitely not ordinary people at the bottom.
The consequences of land annexation are naturally extremely clear.
Almost all the demise of all dynasties are related to it.
Li Xiu naturally did not want to have another Daheng land annexation incident, but no matter what policy is used to stop it, it can be said that it is against the will of others.
Anything that goes against others will inevitably cause chaos. If chaos arises, he will also need a strong and firmly support him.
And the army he forged was naturally the first to be involved in it.
But, in a sense, the Wuxun Group he forged was in this era, a new military force and an impact on the old order.
Martial honors are also humans, and military generals are also humans. They will not lose their obsession with land and wealth.
The people at the bottom can be restrained by laws and civil servants, or they can be suppressed by strict systems.
But the military generals who broke out from the dead made great contributions to him and supported him with such powerful soldiers and generals, naturally they could not be restricted by one order. Even if they could, this would undoubtedly be a move that turbulent people's hearts and depleted the morale of the army.
After all, if he had experienced life and death for him, and if he had blocked his wealth, he would not have been heartbroken.
What's more, he also needs Wu Xun to support him and fulfill these ambitions.
Since he ordered the Jinyiwei to count the land in the country, he has signaled the martial arts to not put too much thought on the land.
But if we want to maintain stability in people's hearts, we must naturally create another way for them if we block a way for them.
In this way, the stability of the morale of the army can be ensured, and the Wuxun Group can be better used by him and unswervingly supported him.
Whether it is a lesson in the martial arts academy that tells about overseas wealth or now expresses its covetousness for overseas wealth, its ultimate intention is to use the deeds of Western countries to tell a group of military honors and even military generals that the head of the martial arts honor group will not treat them unfairly, and what they do not allow them to do will make up for them overseas.
And this is the promise that the emperor, who once said that he would not treat any meritorious ministers unfairly...
With financial difficulties and internal and external troubles in the world, he still slapped his efforts to strengthen the navy, so naturally this is why.
In just Liaodong, a single navy army is enough, so you can't use such great strength.
He is rewarded with titles and salary, temporarily as a plea, and then as a promise of overseas wealth.
Make the morale of the army stable and make the morale of the army available.
Daheng needs it, and he, the emperor, also needs it.
