Chapter 400 Even if there is hatred, one must avenge it

It's a good idea to plan for future generations, but he doesn't even have a son, so it's unavoidable to say this in a pretentious manner.

But Xia Yuan did think so.

Countless Chinese ancestors also thought this way, thinking about planning for future generations, which allowed Chinese civilization to be passed down to this day and continue uninterrupted.

Future generations and inheritance are the most fundamental things engraved in the bones of the Chinese people.

He comes from the 21st century and grew up in China's peaceful and prosperous age, but he also knows that he can grow up in a peaceful and prosperous age because one after another ancestors think about the descendants and the future of the descendants, forget about life and death, and overcome fear.

, who went on and on and used their lives to win a future for future generations.

But now, he has arrived in the Ming Dynasty. At this point in time, he has become an ancestor and should do something for future generations.

What's more, he didn't need to sacrifice his life for this.

This is not a good era. Without advanced and convenient modern technology, he still feels very uncomfortable.

Oppression is everywhere here, and exploitation is everywhere. Class is not something hidden behind the slogan of equality for all. It appears openly and openly, and is commonplace and used to everyone.

But here is the best era. At this time, the Ming Dynasty was a huge empire, a truly high state. It had the capital to compete with any country and the confidence to go to war with any country.

.

Now that I'm here, I can't just be a bystander of history and watch with cold eyes as China declines step by step, China's land sinks, Jiashen's country suffers, and everything is tainted with the smell of foreigners.

The country was stolen by foreigners, and they led them into deeper sinking and fell into the bottomless abyss.

——————————

The food-related turmoil has just started, and everyone in the capital is talking about it. The yield of tens of dan per acre of food is simply beyond imagination.

The people in the capital were always well-informed, and they didn't know where they got the news. For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys, and almost everyone expressed disbelief about the matter.

However, there is also news that the imperial court wants to promote these crops throughout the world. We will know whether it is true or false when the time comes.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty court was discussing another matter, the conquest of the Japanese country.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many enemies, including Yuan and Tatars in the north, barbarians in the southwest, and Japanese invaders in the southeast.

To deal with these external or internal enemies, Ming Dynasty has always adopted a passive defense strategy and almost never adopted a proactive attack.

Never started any war.

The reason was not that the Ming Dynasty was peace-loving, at least not entirely. The more reason was that passive defense already consumed a lot of money and food, let alone sending troops to take the initiative.

Besides, if you take the initiative to fight, what will you get?

To give a vivid but not very appropriate metaphor, the Ming Dynasty was a rich man with a lot of money, and all the enemies were poor ghosts. I have only heard of poor ghosts running to the rich man's house to steal things. How can a rich man be poor?

Robbed from a ghost's house?

But now the emperor suddenly proposed to launch troops against the Japanese country. Especially, the emperor has always been cautious and seeks stability, but now he has such an idea inexplicably, which is really abnormal.

In Jinshen Hall, all the ministers from the six cabinet departments gathered here. When they heard Emperor Hongzhi's proposal to attack the Japanese country, they all looked at each other.

Emperor Hongzhi did not pay attention to the reactions of his highnesses and ministers, and said to himself: "Why do we have Japanese plagues in the Ming Dynasty, and why are they more serious than the Japanese plagues in previous dynasties? Do you know the reason?"

Although it was an inquiry, from His Majesty's tone, all the ministers knew that they were not allowed to answer at this time, so Liu Jian withdrew his gaze from the other two cabinet ministers, and the others also looked at Emperor Hongzhi on the dragon throne, and then

They both bowed and said, "I don't know."

"The reason is that the Japanese were in war. Many Japanese crossed the sea to our Ming Dynasty to escape the war. And because of their cruel nature and disobedience to Wang Mu's teachings, they invaded our territory and killed my people."

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the southeastern provinces have been invaded by Japanese pirates. I don't know how many people have died at the hands of Japanese pirates. I don't know how you feel about this blood feud, but I deeply hate it!"

At this point, Emperor Hongzhi's voice suddenly rose, and anger welled up from his face.

When the ministers below heard these words and saw the anger on the emperor's face, whether they were genuine or fake, they all followed suit and expressed their opinions, "The people are suffering, it is such a painful experience, and I feel deep hatred for it!"

"If you have hatred, you should repay it."

After setting the tone first, Emperor Hongzhi continued: "Now the Japanese country is still in war. Its domestic chaos is almost like that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It has internal turmoil, frequent wars and serious internal strife. It is a great opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to send troops for revenge.

"

"Furthermore, the voyage to the Western Sea is imminent, but our Ming soldiers have not known naval warfare for a long time, and do not even know what naval warfare is. If they were to accompany the army to the Western Sea, it would be of no use. Therefore, this attack on the Japanese country is not only for revenge, but also for training troops.

!”

"I have made up my mind to attack the Japanese country. What do you think?"

"."

All the ministers below were embarrassed to express their stance. They said it very well, very reasonable, and well-founded. Taking advantage of the civil strife in Japan, they sent troops to attack. The chance of winning was very high. This revenge was naturally avenged, and they also trained their troops.

But fighting a war consumes countless amounts of money and food, especially a war like this involving an expedition, where the money and food consumed will increase several times.

Your Majesty, don’t you have any AC data on Ming Dynasty’s finances?

Moreover, these are all based on the premise that what you said is true, then the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are true.

Otherwise, if you run over there with all your strength, you will die.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask your Majesty, where did your Majesty know that the Japanese country is in such serious civil strife?"

As usual, Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, was the first to leave. After hearing this question, the others also looked at Emperor Hongzhi. This is also what they wanted to ask, where did his majesty get this information after living in the palace for a long time.

"The factory guards previously captured a group of Japanese people, one of whom had a very high status and was one of the famous names in the Japanese melee.

The ministers may not know what this daimyo is. It is probably equivalent to a prince. However, Japan is in civil strife and there are many princes now, and their strength is also uneven. This daimyo was completely wiped out in a war."

Emperor Hongzhi was also good at making up lies. He didn't blush or gasp, and his words seemed to be true. After processing what Xia Yuan had told him before, he told the officials again.

"This matter is extremely credible and does not seem to be a forgery. What's more, I also learned from his mouth that there are silver mines in the Japanese country."

The words "silver mine" were spoken, just like when Xia Yuan and Emperor Hongzhi were mentioned before, without causing any ripples in the court.

None of the ministers present took it seriously.

Silver mines sound quite bluffing, but the several silver mines in the Ming Dynasty together only produce more than 100,000 taels per year, which is quite a lot, but in fact that's all.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at these indifferent ministers and said, "You may not know that the silver mines in Japan are different from the silver mines in Ming Dynasty. There is only one silver mine in Japan..."

At this point, he paused briefly and said, "At least millions of taels of silver can be produced in a year."
