Chapter 240 We Are All Adults(2/2)
Zhu Di said.
"Your Majesty, you can ask for reinforcements! As long as you are still here, Your Majesty will give you reinforcements. Song Sheng still has heavy troops in Gansu. It is only two thousand miles from Jiayuguan to Tianshan. It is estimated that he can dispatch 30,000 cavalry. Let's join forces with him
Bie Shi Bali, just in time to scare Bie Shi Bali, and then force Bie Shi Bali to send troops as well, they will definitely do it. They and Timur are not in the same group. If we attack Timur, they will be happy. In this way we will
I can gather more than 60,000 cavalry, and Song Sheng will bring enough ammunition supplies. I can barely make some during this period, which is enough to scare Timur."
Yang Feng continued to bewitch him.
Zhu Di pondered.
This Tamar is so crazy.
His expedition all the way here has been crazy.
Is this guy going to continue?
but……
"Your Majesty, you have to think about the current situation. Even if you return in triumph, the emperor's grandson will not make things difficult for you anymore. Can you honestly serve him as a vassal king forever?"
Yang Feng said in a low voice.
Zhu Di's eyes changed and he looked at him deeply.
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Originally, it was Zhu Yunwen who succeeded to the throne in history, but you failed to control your ambitions and led these guys to rebel. Then you broke into the capital and forced Zhu Yunwen to light a fire in the palace and burn it to ashes.
.
Ah, Zhuang De doesn't count.
He protected Zhu Yunwen, and then killed Tan Yuan."
Yang Feng pointed at Zhang Fu and others who were still having a barbecue and whispered.
Zhuang De was drinking happily with Tan Yuan!
The latter has treasured a jug of wine to this day.
Zhu Di took a deep breath...
"Don't worry, although I didn't tell your father clearly, he had guessed it a long time ago, so he has been very entangled with you these years. He likes you as a talented person like him and knows that you will seize the throne, but he doesn't want to establish you and then cause chaos.
He has determined the order of succession. And the emperor's grandson is also very satisfied with him. Although he can beat you a little, he will definitely not be defeated. So he has no choice but to kick you further and further away. We have made it clear today, if
The emperor's grandson has succeeded to the throne. Do you think you will be honest in the future and will not rebel and seize the throne like Zhu Yunwen did?
We are all adults.
Be more sincere.
How can a man live in the world of heaven and earth and live in depression for a long time?
From now on, I will probably just be a consort. I can't get rid of your sister, so I sincerely hope that you won't become fratricidal.
If you conquer the Western Regions and use them to establish a country, the Emperor's grandson will not only not worry, but will also try his best to maintain relations with you. After all, Hu Yuan was also able to establish the four great khanates back then. The Western Regions are not owned by the imperial court in the first place. You conquered them.
Of course it's yours."
Yang Feng said.
This is his real purpose.
Let Zhu Di expand in the Western Regions.
Zhu Yunxi was far less ambitious than his uncle.
He was trained by his aunt, and he paid more attention to economic interests. He was not even very enthusiastic about marching into the grasslands. After all, marching into the grasslands was a pure waste of money with no profit, including Huining and other places. Therefore, he supported Yang Feng in contracting Huining.
Developing Shuofang included sealing Hehuang to the King of Zhou because these areas were unprofitable.
You can throw it to others.
Regardless of garrison control or development, these places are unprofitable or have meager benefits.
Not worth worrying about.
In his view, there is a vast expanse of Southeast Asia, and countless wealth is at your fingertips. Why invest money and manpower in these cold and cold places?
If you invest one tael of silver in the direction of Nanyang, you can get 10 taels of income. If you invest one tael of silver in Huining, you may not get your money back. Just force those tribes to surrender and pay tribute. There is no need for non-actual control. On the contrary, without actual control, through business
Squeeze can extract as much benefit as possible from those tribes. To put it simply, their uncles and nephews are a matter of route.
Zhu Di is still old-school expansionist.
Just to occupy it.
Keep occupying land and then controlling it.
Just like the Russians.
Zhu Yunxi likes commercial exploitation and uses various commercial methods to squeeze those tribes as much as possible, but there is no need to control the land, as long as he is recognized as the boss.
Just like America.
And what Yang Feng wants is Zhu Di.
Since Zhu Yunxi is not interested, let Zhu Di take over. The Ming Dynasty does not need to worry. As long as Zhu Yunxi successfully succeeds to the throne, he and his aunt's financial, industrial and commercial methods are enough to make the Ming Dynasty strong. On the contrary, the expansion of the Western Regions will only
It is the focus of the future, so Yang Feng has to try his best to trick Zhu Di into embarking on this path.
And Zhu Yunxi would really allow Zhu Di to develop in the Western Regions. After all, he could even seal off places like Hehuang and Shuofang.
"Ambassador, you have good intentions!"
Zhu Di said.
"Your Majesty, I have good intentions. If you really rebel and seize the throne, I will definitely intervene. After all, the emperor's grandson is cultivated by me and is developing according to my design. If he succeeds to the throne, then the future Ming Dynasty will
It will develop according to my vision, but it will be difficult for you to become the emperor. Do you understand finance?
Can you open a factory?
But what the king is good at is being invincible with his iron cavalry.
Then the Western Region is your hunting ground.
Look at this map. Even if you can't reach Europe, this area alone is larger than the Ming Dynasty. Such a vast land is enough for you to conquer for a lifetime. Then you can use this land to establish a country and maintain trade with the Ming Dynasty. Wouldn't it be good?"
