Seeing Zhang He's promise, Zhu Su also nodded slightly. The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty in the north was already decayed. Although the Ming Dynasty's government and opposition parties were in the east, they still regarded the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty as a serious problem.
But judging from the historical cycle, the disintegration and destruction of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties is no longer inevitable in history. Without the feudal system learned from the Central Plains, what the Ming Dynasty will face in the future is just a group of nomadic wolves on the grasslands.
.
Although the nomads in the north were still a serious problem for the Central Plains dynasty, Zhu Su believed that he would ask the Ming army to use cement to quickly repair the Great Wall, and then equip them with improved firearms on a large scale to show the elite level of the Ming army for defense.
The attack of the nomads is not a problem at all.
The current Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to easily destroy the Bei Yuan. The safest way is to keep the Bei Yuan on the defensive, and then focus on development, and wait until the "magic success" is achieved before taking action. In the original history,
, Lao Zhu adopted such a policy and kept developing for fifteen years. It was not until the 21st year of Hongwu that he struck hard and destroyed the ancestral temple of Beiyuan in one fell swoop.
Even then, it was impossible to completely eliminate the grassland forces. Tatars and Walas were still roaming the grasslands, posing hidden dangers for Baozong's study abroad after a month.
After Zhu Su informed Lao Zhu about the future, such efficiency in destroying Yuan undoubtedly made Lao Zhu extremely dissatisfied. What Lao Zhu wanted was not just to destroy Bei Yuan. In fact, what he wanted in his heart was to join Bei Yuan.
Territory, completely clear the grassland, leaving an iron-clad country for future generations.
Zhu Su's prescription for this was to "grab" profits from overseas and feed back the Chinese mainland. He asked Ming Dynasty to practice external skills and accumulate the three major conditions of economy, technology and manpower needed to achieve technological breakthroughs.
Months later, in the face of the huge technological gap that realized the generation gap, the nomads would naturally "sing and dance" to "welcome the king's master". Then they would use a feudal system similar to that of the Western Zhou Dynasty to completely "Chineseize" the grassland Japanese and other barbarian lands.
”.
Therefore, it is not wise to keep fighting with Beiyuan for the time being, and then seek development opportunities overseas. It is undoubtedly not the top priority to keep Ming Dynasty's rarest naval generals enterprising.
"Thinking about it this way, the most important priority for bringing the Ming Dynasty from the east is to exclude the Beiyuan warlords entrenched in Liaodong. Naha came up." Zhu Su touched the beardless Dongba. Brother Muying was currently attacking.
In Yunnan, according to the history books of later generations, the Liang king who occupied Yunnan did not have any great talents. The Ming Dynasty's attack on Yunnan in the east was only a matter of time.
Naha in Liaodong held a heavy force of 200,000 troops, and he was on the side of the Ming Dynasty, eyeing the entire north of the Ming Dynasty. It turned out that the Ming Dynasty had a wrong strategy, and attacked the Dayuan Ancestral Temple with lightning speed, forcing Naha to surrender.
But if the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition failed and Ming Dynasty was forced to go on the defensive, then the threat from Naha would be even more prominent than that of Wang Baobao in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
After all, how can one allow others to sleep soundly beside the bed?
"...He really has a hard-working life, so why is he worried about what happened to Naha again?"
"I don't want to anymore. Let's just let the old man have a headache." After thinking for a while, Zhu Su shook his head with a smile. If he failed to grasp the overall situation, Lao Zhu was thousands of times better than himself, so how could he not know what he was doing?
How threatening is Ha Chu?
After the purge of North Korea is completed and Yunnan is pacified, he will be free to deal with Naha's troubles.
After I return to Beijing, I will follow Yao Guangxiao's advice and wait for a while to develop the technology stack.
"What do you want to eat for lunch, Lord? I just caught some fresh fish in the sea. The folk girl will cook them soon. How about adding a bowl of fish soup for you?" They were chatting in the cabin, and the figure of Sanniang appeared in the cabin.
After getting the notification and permission, she smiled and asked Zhu Su for instructions.
Seeing that there was a slight sweat on her forehead, it was obvious that she had been running for a long time. Zhu Su couldn't help but get up and said: "Sister Sanniangzi, we have just escaped from the disaster, why are we on the boat doing more things?"
"We are still out on an expedition. He can just eat the same food as the soldiers. We don't have to live, just take good care of our bodies."
"Can we tell Mr. Ru where we came from? When we get back to Anzai, he and others will help us find our surviving family members. Even if they are thousands of miles away, we hope that we can return home safely."
Sanniangzi's originally smiling face suddenly froze and became a little unnatural. After a while, Fudong suddenly said: "Fifth Hall East Rongzhen, actually... he doesn't want to return to his hometown."
"Don't want to go home?" Zhu Xi, who was standing beside him, was a little surprised. "...Are you worried about having trouble living? Don't worry, they will give us a settling-in allowance..."
"No." Sanniangzi shook her head sadly. "With such a despicable and dirty body, how can I see my parents and fellow villagers again?"
"Why don't I go back shamelessly? I'm afraid of the Queen of the Moon...or can't hold my head up for the rest of my life..." She lowered her head, tears already flowing down her cheeks.
"Why?" Zhu Cang was confused, but Zhu Su, Zhu Di, Zhang He and others had suddenly realized. Those women were defiled by the Japanese pirates. Even if they returned to their hometown, their spines would definitely be broken. Even good people would agree.
No. If a woman of that era could not marry a good family, her life would be ruined.
Yes, their lives were ruined from the moment they were kidnapped by the Japanese pirates.
"Feudal ethics...sigh." Zhu Su sighed in his heart. Faced with such a behemoth, even though he prided himself on being a time traveler with broad vision, he couldn't think of anything to do.
"Could it be that those sisters who were rescued by them all have the same idea?" Zhu Su was a little embarrassed. "If not, Sister Sanniangzi, what are our plans after the missed month?"
"Do you know that the daughter of the people...doesn't know." The third lady looked confused and wiped her tears gently. "If you burn it, you will definitely not be able to go back to your hometown."
Zhu Su was a little embarrassed. If he couldn't arrange for the Bufeng, the best outcome for them would be to be sold into slavery. He tried to arrange for them, but he couldn't find any good solution for the time being.
After all, as a prince, even if the maids and nuns are used to serve in the palace, Lao Zhu can allocate reliable maids from outside the palace, but he cannot hire private women. Zhu Su looked at Zhang He,
I want to say that Zhang He, as the deputy commander of the Fuzhou Guard, may need some helpful helpers at home...
"Don't look at me like that, Lord." Zhang He didn't know Zhu Su's plan, so he hurriedly waved his legs. "Mojiang's monthly salary is enough for a family of three. As soon as he entered the house, all the food was cooked by Zhuo Jing himself.
Where can I hire a helper?"
Wrong, I forgot that the salary in the Ming Dynasty was so low that it is rare in history...
"Don't beg to embarrass General Zhang." The third wife then realized that Zhu Su wanted them to arrange their livelihoods, and she quickly knelt down in panic. "But he and the other sisters are already grateful to the emperor for his rescue. An Ke will receive the favor from the emperor again."
?”
"If you have the audacity to ask the emperor to give you alms for your livelihood, how shameful are these sisters in the world."
"Then...sigh." Zhu Su sighed softly. Looking at Sanniang's expression, he knew that if he forced himself to arrange it, the poor woman might really commit suicide out of shame. Besides, he was like Ming, and he really didn't do well.
method.
It would be better to go back to Suzhou first and discuss it with the prefect Wei Guan, and help those women like He Hui.
"General Zhang, at Ruming's rate, how many months will it take for them to return to Susong?" Zhu Su changed the subject.
"Go back to the east of the palace,"
"I think, in about three months, we can see Su Song's harbor." Zhang He raised his eyes and looked at the moon outside the cabin, and frowned unconsciously: "...if not, there is no accident."
There is no accident... Generally speaking, if Dong mentions that Zhi Tong, there will definitely be an accident. Zhu Su complained silently in his heart.
