Father can be an enemy to the country

As he told Liu Bowen at the beginning, Zhu Zhen was sure to persuade his brothers to join the camp for enfeoffment overseas.

Because they are both good at fighting, able to endure hardships, and most importantly, they are all full of wild ambitions that would rather be the heads of chickens than the queens of cows... oh no, ambition.

Therefore, whenever possible, they will definitely choose to expand their territory and establish their own kingdom, rather than being sealed in the country, where they are restricted everywhere, subject to suspicion, wary and prone to trouble.

For a real man, being upright and free is more important than anything else!

Sure enough, the brothers swept away the gloom in their hearts and started thinking about it with great interest.

"Although Goryeo is a poor place with a population of only one million, it is said that it had a population of up to six million in the Song Dynasty, which shows that the potential is still great." Lao Si said eagerly: "If I can be sealed there, after ten years of cultivation, ten years of cultivation will be achieved. If we are together every year, we will start attacking Japan. Sooner or later we will conquer Japan too! Surpass Kublai Khan!"

"Why are you the only one who was granted the title of Goryeo? The elders and younger ones are in order. It's more like me to be granted the title of Goryeo!" The third child quit at that time. Changxiang said:

"If Goryeo returns to my king, I will first try my best to 'use Xia to transform the barbarians', and it will take up to twenty years to completely Chineseize them! This is the most important thing."

"You just want to sleep with all the girls in Korea..." Lao Si said disdainfully: "When you become the king, you will definitely become a mutant horse."

"That, that's so happy." The second child was fascinated.

"It's a pity that there is only one in Korea." The fifth brother, who had been listening to it all the time, suddenly said quietly.

"Haha, fifth brother, don't worry, there is indeed only one Koryo, but there is not only one Koryo." Lao Liu said while playing with the beef on the plate.

"Yes, Liaodong is also possible." The fourth child smiled and said, "The third child wants to go to Liaodong."

"Liaodong is indeed possible, but it is too cold to be selected. And we hope to expand our own territory. When the time comes, our brothers will each live in a country, attack and defend each other, and work together to expand the territory of China. This will be a life worth living. !”

While Zhu Zhen was talking, he placed a map of the world with beef on a white porcelain plate.

"Look, you guys!"

"What is this?" The brothers looked at the plate of meat arranged in strange shapes.

"This is the whole world." Zhu Zhen picked up his chopsticks, pointed at one of the upper brains and said, "My Daming is this upper brain."

"So young?" The brothers asked in disbelief.

"Yes, that is one-twentieth of the entire land." Zhu Zhen nodded, pointing to the five beef tenderloins and said: "The Mongols once conquered one-fifth of the entire land, which was also the largest empire in human history. The Yuan Dynasty was only part of it, and there were four other great khanates, but they were all probably in decline."

"Is it so big?" The brothers were shocked.

"So, it is not enough to expel the Tartars and restore China. We also need to build a great empire that far exceeds Mongolia. There is a long way to go, brothers!" Zhu Zhen said solemnly.

"Hmm." The brothers' eyes lit up, Lao Liu's cake was really to your liking.

They knew the Mongols, the number one enemy, very well, and they had heard about the four great khanates for a long time. Knowing that Mongke Khan died suddenly while attacking the Southern Song Dynasty, a civil war broke out between Kublai Khan and Ali Buge for the throne of Khan.

Later, although Kublai Khan was the orthodox emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, the kings who had been entrusted by Genghis Khan also established the Kipchak Khanate and Chagatai Khanate, known as the "Four Great Khanates", on the vast territory captured by the Western Expedition. , Ilkhanate and Ogedai Khanate. The rulers of these khanates were all descended from the "Golden Family" and were connected by blood. Therefore, they all regarded the Yuan Dynasty, which conquered the Central Plains, as their suzerainty.

But they are only a unified whole in name, but in fact they have strong independence. This model is simply to the liking of the brothers.

If this seed goes away, even if Zhu Zhen doesn't intervene, they will try their best to move closer in this direction.

However, the third child was very careful, and while the brothers were getting excited, he had already discovered the problem. "But in these places conquered by the Mongols, I'm afraid they can only be nomadic and cannot farm, right?"

"No, it doesn't matter, Nomadic is fine, I'm quite happy." The second child didn't care.

"No, no, it's very important." Zhu Zhen shook his head decisively and said: "The form of civilization is determined by the mode of production. We are an agricultural civilization and cannot become a nomadic civilization. Once we become a nomadic civilization, we will become barbaric."

"Our goal is not to become king and hegemony ourselves, but to once again expand the territory of Chinese civilization. Just like when the Western Zhou Dynasty was established, the territory that could be controlled was only part of Shaanxi and Henan. It was the 'Zhou Gong Enfeoffment' that allowed Chinese civilization to Rapidly expanding to the entire Central Plains, it laid the foundation of our Chinese civilization!"

Lao Liu stood up excitedly, pointed to the earth under his feet and said:

"The Qi County where we are located is where the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is God's will that my brothers are here to discuss the 're-promotion of China'!"

"It's true!" Lao San slapped his head and said: "When King Wu defeated Zhou, Emperor Xin burned himself on Lutai, which started the eight hundred years of 'building princes and splitting the earth for the people'. Today, we, brothers, defeated The rebels, eating hot pot and participating in the grand event together, will definitely start a thousand-year great tomorrow of 'enfranchising overseas and promoting China'! It's time to realize!"

"Do it!" The brothers' faces turned red and they clinked their glasses and drank the liquor.

"But Lao Liu, if we don't attack the Mongols' territory, where can we open up the territory?" Lao Si put down his wine cup and asked.

"There are too many. For example, recovering Yunnan and Annan, conquering Siam, Burma, and Japan. The sky is high and the emperor is far away from those places, and they are suitable for farming and have a large population to feed. In short, this line can go south! "Lao Liu said, using chopsticks to draw a '400 mm equal precipitation line' on the beef on the plate, and encouraged the brothers to say:

"And the further south you go, the warmer and humid it becomes, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. There is no winter there, and rice is harvested three times a year. There is no famine every year, and there is plenty every year! Just like Chu and Yue in the Han Dynasty, and Fujian and Guangdong in the Tang and Song Dynasties, it is China that God has given us. This is a treasured land! God cannot take it from you, so you must suffer the consequences!"

As soon as the third and fourth children heard about Chu and Yue in the Han Dynasty and Fujian and Guangdong in the Tang and Song Dynasties, they immediately had a clear understanding of these places mentioned by the sixth child.

"If this is really the case, we should take it for the Ming Dynasty and keep it." The third child nodded slowly.

"Okay, no one will say 'it's too extravagant to enfeoff' the territory we have won, right?" The fourth child also said proudly:

"In the future, we will be the heirs to keep the business, and the other princes will have to expand their own territories if they want to fiefdoms. From generation to generation, we will open up territory for the Ming Dynasty. Sooner or later, we will eat all this plate of meat!"

Zhu Zhen couldn't help but give a thumbs up after hearing this. The fourth brother was different, and the emperors throughout the ages also had a first-class structure. He should be sent overseas and let him open up territories for the Ming Dynasty!
