I am the king of the dead

Hu Wei continued: "The Tang Dynasty enlightened the Quartet, and married princesses in Tubo, Turkic, Khitan, and Dali successively. When the Tang Dynasty was prosperous, the Quartet came to court and all nations came to congratulate."

"However, once the Tang Dynasty fell, Xixia, Liao, and Jin were established one after another, and where the iron hooves stepped on, the people would suffer."

"That's what you call the evil of kindness."

Nikolaoz seriously recalled that he saw the historical materials, and then said excitedly: "This happened not only once, but also that, the Japanese country in the east, wasn't it also educated by you?"

"So, close the door and live your own life! Educate them, and they will definitely come back to Daming! The Japanese country does not listen to etiquette, does not listen to education, how can it invade Daming's waters!"

Hu Wei shook his head and said: "Qiongzhou was a place of exile in the Song Dynasty. After Hongwu, Yongle, and Xuande years of land reform, this year finally has the first Jinshi in Qiongzhou. Qiu Jun, who wrote the University Yanyi Supplement, is a native Qiongzhou people."

"To this day, who can say that Qiongzhou is not the territory of Ming Dynasty?"

"In the same way, there are Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. This is the result of enlightenment."

The stories of Mr. Dong Guo and the wolf are not uncommon, but not all people are wolves with ambitions. The Central Plains Dynasty’s consistent enlightenment philosophy since ancient times allowed them to integrate with each other, and finally formed a stable ruling structure.

After the fall of Rome, no new Rome was born, division and centrifugal force have always been the political structure of the West.

This is the sorrow of Rome, and the sorrow of countless dying civilizations in the world.

Hu Wei suddenly raised his head, and said quite proudly: "Whether Rome can return is unknown, but China will always exist."

Nikolaoz frowned into big knots, he shook his head and said, "I can understand what you mean, maybe I don't know enough about your history, so I still can't understand why you are so sure."

Hu Wei's meaning is very clear, the kind nature brings less trouble than the benefit, so the people of Daming still maintain their kind nature.

Who will do the evil?

Naturally, it is His Majesty who bears the notoriety of the king of subjugation.

As a Roman, although Nikolaoz has been trying his best to learn the history of Ming Dynasty, he knows very little after all, and cannot understand Hu Wei's confidence.

Hu Wei looked at Nikolaoz's sad face, and said with a smile: "Look, sometimes, it's not that I don't say it, but when I say it, you can't understand it, and it's even more troublesome. It's better not to say it."

"You won again." Nikolaoz had to nod to admit that Hu Min was right, he really didn't understand.

Hu Wei asked suspiciously: "Then I said my thoughts, what about yours?"

Nicolaus sat up straight and said, "During the time of the Phoenicians and Greeks, that is, the period of the Roman Republic, the definition of colonization was actually migration."

"Those lands are empty and fertile, full of tall trees. Colonization at this time is its original intention, to multiply people."

Hu Yan seriously understood and said: "This is understandable, just like the current Jilong Island, where there is no one, but the land is fertile and suitable for farming. Daming now sends the exiled prisoners to Jilong Island, that is, migration .”

Nikolaoz stared at Hu Wei with a piercing spirit. No matter what Nikolaoz said, Hu Wei could immediately understand and even find an example. This is the reason why they can't talk on an equal footing. Hu Wei really understands it too well. .

Nikolaoz continued: "In the era of the Roman Empire, I think the definition of colonization is to find fertile land for reclamation. Agricultural reclamation is a characteristic of that era."

Hu Wei looked at Ma Huan, who was writing quickly. The officer was quickly recording the content of their conversation. Hu Wei glanced at it, and then said: "It's not difficult to understand. There are many people in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Beizhili. The people passed through the pass to reach the newly opened Jing'an Road to reclaim wasteland, which was called Xikou in Daming."

"The continuous growth of the population has led to the fact that the land cannot support so many people, and the land has gradually been concentrated in the hands of a few people, causing the majority of people to find new land and open up wasteland for farming."

"I really can't find it, I can't live anymore, so I have to keep my head on my belt and fight for my life. Isn't this how civil disturbances happen?"

"There are 700 million people in Dengmao in Fujian. Isn't Song Zhang, the chief minister of Fujian, involved in the case of winter animals? The current big case in Sichuan is also an example."

Ma Huan stopped writing, these words were too taboo, he didn't know whether he should write them down, he looked at Hu Wei, and hoped that Hu Shangshu would be cautious in his words and deeds.

"Let's write it." Hu Wei resolved Ma Huan's doubts, and Ma Huan was in charge of recording, and finally showed it to His Majesty.

He is an immoral person. Isn't it normal for an immoral person to speak wild words?

Nicholas knew that Hu Wei's words were indeed a taboo. As the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, and as the emperor of the court with the highest order, Hu Wei blamed the officials for the civil disturbances. This was a disservice to himself. Class betrayal.

Nicolaus said with pain on his face: "During the Eastern Roman period, the definition of colonization became alien rule, just like the Yuan Dynasty in Ming Dynasty. Although your Ming government does not approve of this."

In the last years of Eastern Rome, it was actually a vassal state of the Ottoman Kingdom. Even Constantine XI became the emperor of Rome because of the appointment and appointment of the former sultan of the Ottoman Kingdom.

"I will find examples by myself." Hu Wei immediately thought of the stone tablet on Yashan.

Those pseudo-Confucian scholars in Japan always clamored that there would be no China after Yashan, but in fact their purpose was to steal Zhengshuo.

If there is no China after Yashan, what is Ming Dynasty?

Regarding whether the Yuan Dynasty is the Zhengshuo Dynasty of the Central Plains, Hu Wei does not intend to discuss this with Nikolaoz.

How did Kublai Khan, who established the country title of "Dayuan", win the battle for Khan's position?

To this day, the enmity between Tatar and Oala has even surpassed the conflict between them and Ming.

Yu Qian once sorted out the lineage of the Yuan Dynasty for His Majesty. In 60 years, three generations and the rotation of fourteen emperors were also one of the reasons for the demise of the Yuan Dynasty.

At least on a unified basis, Zhengshuo of the Yuan Dynasty was recognized. After all, when Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, came to the throne, he said that Kublai Khan was a real person from the grassland who ruled the Central Plains.

"The definition of colonization is different in each era, and the meaning is not exactly the same. No matter which attribute is the main attribute, other attributes have never disappeared. It is necessary to choose one attribute as the main attribute to prevent the primary and secondary from being separated. This is I understand." Nikolaoz said conclusively.

The definition of colonization includes population migration, agricultural reclamation, and alien rule. There is no contradiction between these different attributes, but there must be one kind of dominant and the other as supplementary.

Hu Mei, on the other hand, leaned on the wicker chair without saying a word, looking at his nose and heart, as if he was asleep, his forehead was sweating a little, and he heard Nikolaoz summed up, there was a feeling of insanity. The feeling of empowerment.

It wasn't that Nikolaos was some kind of holy teacher, but in a few words, Hu Wei had an epiphany.

Hu Yan seemed to have grasped something, but also seemed to have grasped nothing. It seemed to be a layer of window paper, but he couldn't pierce it no matter what.

He didn't even know what he was wondering about, what the problem was, he just felt that he understood, and he felt that he didn't understand anything.

If someone disturbed him at this time, he might not be able to figure it out for the rest of his life, but neither Yang Shan, Ma Huan nor Nikolaoz dared to disturb Hu Wei.

The end of pissing off Hu Wei is the pain of being grateful to Dade.

Hu Yan suddenly sat up straight with a smile on his face.

He figured it out.

He knew his doubts, he knew what he was thinking.

He knew exactly where His Majesty wanted to lead Daming.

His Majesty already knew where Da Ming was going, and guided him to move forward unswervingly.

The road of kingship in Ming Dynasty is not mainly based on migration of population, nor is it mainly based on agricultural reclamation, and it is not mainly based on alien rule. Your Majesty's road to kingship is mainly based on commodity control.

Whether it is Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou, or Monan and Mobei, Liaodong, and Wa, His Majesty has taken the road of kingship with commodity control as the main attribute.

This is His Majesty's road trip.

Hu Yi clenched his left hand into a fist on his right palm, stood up, and disappeared into the Huitong Hall like a gust of wind.

Nikolaoz looked at Hu Wei's leaving figure, looked at Ma Huan and asked, "How old is Hu Shangshu this year?"

"78." Ma Huan thought for a while and said.

"Do you think you are 78, can you still run so fast?" Nikolaoz's question is a question sentence. Nikolaoz is only in his 50s, and he can't run so fast.

"Hu Shangshu has a good way of keeping in good health." Ma Huan said with a smile.

Hu Wei got into the car and headed towards the martial arts hall, he ran into the imperial study room of Juxian Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, I have figured it out! I know where Your Majesty is going!" Hu Wei said slightly out of breath.

Zhu Qiyu asked Xing'an to quickly serve a pot of herbal tea and said: "Drink some water, and speak slowly, I don't even think about it. Did Hu Shangshu figure it out for me?"

Zhu Qiyu was not joking, he was still thinking about what to do.

The lesson he gave Hu Wei was also his doubt for a long time. Daming should open the sea. Now that the sea ban has been relaxed, but after the relaxation, what should be done?

Chapter 549 The ultimate goal of Wanghua

Zhu Qiyu's enthusiasm for overseas colonization has not been very high. The main reason is that Ming Dynasty is not the Netherlands, not England, not France, nor Spain or Portugal. Ming Dynasty is Daming.

After the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, how to do it is the question that Zhu Qiyu has been thinking about.After he relaxed the sea ban, he didn't do anything. He was waiting, waiting for Da Ming to give him feedback.

Now, he finally got Daming's feedback.

Hu Yan took a sip of tea, took a breath, and slowly calmed down, before speaking: "Your Majesty, Li Binyan once put forward an argument, the order of the sixth-class stars and the order of the four seasons."

Zhu Qiyu nodded. While Li Binyan was looking up at the starry sky in Songjiang City, he was also thinking about politics. In the Ming Dynasty, when officials and scholars highly overlapped, this was not unusual.

The sixth-class star rank is one of the achievements of Li Binyan's political speculation on Ming Dynasty based on his own experience.

Hu Wei said seriously: "In fact, colonization is nothing more than a few methods."

"The first method is to conquer by force. Kill all the men, snatch the women and children, and eliminate them directly. This method usually costs a lot. If you kill an enemy, you will lose eight hundred."

"To be honest, this approach is impossible unless you encounter the last rank."

Zhu Qiyu said in deep agreement, "That's true."

"The battle of the capital, the battle of Xuanfu, the battle of Hetao, the southward suppression of the rebellion, these large-scale battles, the sound of the cannon, the gold ten thousand taels."

"If the Battle of Xuanfu hadn't copied the Confucian Mansion in Qufu, if the Battle of Hetao hadn't copied the Qu family, if the southward suppression of the rebellion hadn't forced the merchants to steal chickens and lose a lot of rice, the national treasury would have been empty."

"Although Jin Shangshu never complained to me about food, rewards, and military equipment, I have also read the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts, and I am often stretched and stretched."

"But every time the house is raided, this part of the shortfall will be made up, and Jin Shangshu will be happy for several days, and will not quarrel with me."

"I am always grateful to them for supporting Daming's conquest with all their wealth."

In order to thank these sponsors of the Great Ming War, Zhu Qiyu set up a special seat for these people in Jiejieyuan to serve them.

Throughout the entire 400-year colonial era, only the Indians were truly wiped out. Even the chimpanzees on the African savannah, the colonists could not use force to wipe them all out.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and found a memo on the big bookshelf in the imperial study.

He often reflects on the war, and if these thoughts are not recorded in time or discussed with others, they will easily dissipate.

He has a special memorandum to record these thoughts, and the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies will specially organize these messy and disorderly memos into a book for His Majesty's convenience.

Zhu Qiyu picked up the memorandum, returned to the front of the case, and said: "In these several large-scale wars, the Ming Dynasty has killed more than [-] people in total, and more than [-] of them died in non-combat."

"Reductions in non-combat conditions, such as disasters, mutinies, natural disasters and man-made disasters, etc., are things that I can't think of. Among non-combat reductions, the largest proportion of reductions is getting lost."

War is definitely not where the emperor's sword points, the Ming army will kill wherever. The army is the most intimate killing machine for mankind. How to make this machine run stably is the emperor's bounden duty.

And what Zhu Qiyu pays attention to is not technique and tactics, not command, he is not good at this, what he pays attention to is guarantee.

The proportion of non-combat sacrifices in Ming Dynasty is too high. In Zhu Qiyu's memorandum, it is a cold number, but behind each number are vivid people and families.

Hu Yi took the memo and looked at it for a long time before he said, "Your Majesty is actually about half of it. Daming has already done a great job."

"I know, but it's not enough." Zhu Qiyu knew for sure that Daming had done an excellent job in this regard, but it wasn't enough.

Zhu Qiyu didn't want his sergeants not to die at the hands of the enemy, but to die on the way to fight for the country. That would be too painful. For the sergeants, such a death would have no meaning or honor at all.

Hu Wei closed the memorandum, handed it to Xing'an, and said: "Lao Tzu said: Soldiers are an ominous weapon, not a gentleman's weapon, and a sage uses it as a last resort."

"Conquest by force is the most costly way to open up the road to becoming a king."

"Even the Oirats who have Wang Fu will not do that."

Ye Xian relied heavily on Wang Fu, and even because Ye Xian was not good at governing himself, he had to share power for Wang Fu to use, and the nature of power also determined that once shared, there was no possibility of taking it back.

Also, all the actions in Samarkand were written by Wang Fu as memorials and sent to the capital.

Ye Xian was Dashi in Samarkand, but the political affairs were fully controlled by Wang Fu, and even Rong Zheng had to refer to Wang Fu's opinion first.

Direct conquest by force is what Genghis Khan did when he went west.

In Khorizmo, Genghis Khan paid the price of [-] soldiers and won the war. As a result, Genghis Khan took a full three-year rest in Khorezmo before he could return eastward.

Judging from the results, after Genghis Khan left, that piece of land was still dominated by the Turks, and even the descendants of Genghis Khan, such as Yue Jibei Khan, had to be Turkic, abolished Genghis Khan’s code, and switched to Sharia law .

The cost is the greatest, and the gain is the smallest, unless it can be done like Thanksgiving to the Indians on Thanksgiving Day, and they will be wiped out.

Cruelty, inhumanity and low morality, still depends on the Taixi people.

Hu Wei was talking about the means of colonization. He found that His Majesty had actually thought about these issues, and he could chew a lot less.

He continued: "The second method is the Roman method. Most of the aborigines are killed, and all the rest are reduced to slaves, and then the population is relocated."

"For example, their Spartans colonized the Hilo people, or a system similar to the fourth-class system implemented by Hu Yuan in the Central Plains."

"However, both Western Rome and Eastern Rome were wiped out by their colonial barbarians. Now there is still a Holy Roman Empire in Taixi, and Ottoman always wants to replace it. This is the same reason."

The several colonial attributes mentioned by Nikolaoz have corresponding historical lessons for the Central Plains dynasty. There is almost no difference between the alien rule of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ottoman rule of Rome today.

The biggest difference is that the Ming Dynasty was established and then returned in a flash, while Rome has become history forever.

Zhu Qiyu agreed with Hu Min's statement very much.

Hu Yan took a sip of tea before he said, "The third method is to spread religious sermons, spread teachings, and slowly assimilate. This is the method currently used by the Holy See in Taixi, and the effect is not bad. It is better than direct military conquest The cost is much less, and the gain is greater.”

Hu Wei does not agree with the method of preaching assimilation, which is an approach that runs counter to the opposite.

For this reason, the split between the Patriarch of Eastern Rome, the Pope of Tessie, and the Protestants made Tessie, who was already lacking in centripetal force, feel like a mess.
