As long as the donor's thigh can be hugged, it will definitely be hugged tightly and not loosen. This is a common characteristic of human beings, and it is the same at all times and in all countries.
Just when Edison hugged Morgan's grasshopper leg tightly and cheered for hugging that thigh.
Emperor Zhu Da had already begun to examine another place that had just embraced Ming Dynasty - Japan!
it's time!
It’s time to unsheath that katana!
After all, the world's attention is now on North Africa - his cheap son, no, he should be a cousin according to seniority, hey, let's talk about it. Now he is conquering Libya, this "never happened in history"
The Franco-Turkish War" triggered a crisis between Britain and France.
However, unlike Napoleon III, Napoleon IV would never give up in the face of the British. Faced with the British obstruction, he not only directly fought back, but even ordered the mobilization of the navy when the British mobilized the Royal Navy fleet.
France, which has embraced the "Four-Nation Alliance", is now so awesome that it directly scares the British. However, the "Libyan crisis" is not over. The British are still trying every means to stop France. The world's attention has been attracted
When North Africa is attracted, Ming Dynasty... can also take full action against Africa.
This also means that Emperor Zhu Da's "samurai sword" is about to be drawn out!
Four hundred thousand warriors, I ask you if you are afraid!
"Your Majesty, I feel that following the Mongol and Yuan methods in forming the "African Legion", it is best to focus on cavalry and use the Mongolian method of fighting and herding. In this way, the number of the legion can be one or two more than expected.
Times, I think there is absolutely no problem in maintaining a conquest army of more than 100,000 people."
In the battle map room of the palace, a military meeting was being held, including the prime minister, the army minister, and the chief and deputy chiefs of general staff, all accompanying Emperor Zhu Da around a beautifully crafted giant sand table.
This sand table is an African terrain sand table that Ming explorers spent nearly three years and went deep into the hinterland of Africa for many days of field investigation and measurement. Although there are still many places that are blank, almost everything is clear at a glance.
Before the meeting began, Emperor Zhu Da formally announced the strategic goals that Ming Dynasty would achieve in this expedition:
"Our goal is to seize all the land in southern Africa south of the tenth degree north latitude, except for the colonies of Britain, France, and Portugal, and put most of southern Africa under the "protection" of the Ming Empire!"
Emperor Zhu paused, then looked around at everyone and said.
"Protect! This is the fundamental starting point of this expedition! Our Ming Dynasty is a civilized country. We went to Africa not to conquer, but to "protect", to "protect" the local indigenous people, and to allow the indigenous people to accept bathing.
The breath of modern civilization. In order for them to step into civilization from barbarism, when the world has entered a civilized society, as a responsible big country, it is necessary for us to let the indigenous people in other backward areas enjoy the life of modern civilization like us.
The convenience it brings is the responsibility and obligation of the Ming Empire!"
Just thinking about it, Emperor Zhu Da felt that he had become a saint at this moment. Yes, this is the definition of saints and sages for China!
"What is China's destiny?"
Emperor Zhu Da turned his attention to Zuo Zongtang. Facing His Majesty's inquiry, Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but be stunned.
Destiny!
Zuo Zongtang said, thinking of that long all-night conversation with Wang Youling.
"My destiny in China is to spread Chinese civilization to the world..."
Zuo Zongtang, who had already had a plan in mind, directly threw out his theory of "imperial mission".
"We in China have called it "China" since ancient times, which means the center, the central country. This "center" changes with the changes in the region and culture of different dynasties. What remains unchanged is its meaning, which is still the monarch and the emperor.
Its weather, location, people, and people are in the center to control and educate the four directions..."
Facing His Majesty's somewhat surprised gaze, Zuo Zongtang looked a little proud. How could he be unhappy? This was exactly the result that he, Wang Youling and others spent several months researching. This was the result of their extensive reading of history books.
The "Chinese destiny" can be derived.
"Your Majesty sent troops to Africa. It is definitely different from the colonial conquests of Western countries. It is for protection and for the spread of civilization. Of course, the African natives are barbaric and do not know how to educate. This is why the Ming Dynasty must enter Africa. Because
They are barbaric, so they should be civilized and educated in all directions. This is the destiny of China!"
Yo, yo!
Emperor Zhu Da stared at Zuo Zongtang, what he said was so good! My Prime Minister Zuo!
You are really...ah, you really have read all the history books to get this truth!
After sighing, Emperor Zhu Da agreed.
"What the Prime Minister Zuo said is absolutely true! This is the destiny, this is also the way of heaven! Educating the four directions - this is actually the way of heaven of our great Ming Dynasty!"
When Emperor Zhu Da finished speaking, everyone around him all said in unison.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
There is nothing to be hesitant about. If you don’t flatter me at this time, then you will flatter me.
What conquest, what colonization.
Go ahead and have fun, that's a bad habit of the Anglo-Saxons. When did our Ming Dynasty engage in colonization?
there has never been!
Our China began in the Central Plains, but it was able to educate foreigners into China. This is the Chinese way.
I, the Ming Dynasty, came from China and founded the country in South America. Isn’t it just to shoulder the responsibility of China and educate the four directions?
Fu Yi and return to Xia, isn't this my destiny and my way of Ming Dynasty!
…
For a time, in this combat map room, no one was talking about whether to fight or not.
fight?
This is not a war at all!
This is a holy war!
It is an expedition to spread civilization, and it is for all mankind!
Among all mankind, only the indigenous people of the African continent are still living in ignorance. It is the destiny of the Ming Dynasty to educate them!
Can they not be excited?
What does it mean to be a famous teacher? This is to be a famous teacher. This is a majestic and royal teacher!
In addition to being excited, Iwagu Shi, who was fortunate enough to attend the meeting, said even more excitedly.
"Your Majesty, please fully understand the sincerity of the hundreds of thousands of nobles from the four islands of Japan to Your Majesty. If they cannot participate in this holy war, how can they, as His Majesty's retainers, be worthy of Your Majesty's gift? Your Majesty, please issue an order to recruit Japan.
warrior!"
After Yan Gushi requested the order, other people of course also agreed. What they said was nothing more than "Japanese warriors are your majesty's retainers. They are new to the Ming Dynasty and naturally want to be loyal to your majesty. Your majesty should consider their innocent heart!"
In a word - such a good cannon fodder, no...I'm sorry for those cannon fodders themselves!
