Chapter 988 Daming's safety is the most important
Taotian’s anger!
Almost in the cabinet, the Governor's Office of the Five Army learned that the mission was detained by Ottoman, the newspapers in Nanjing also learned about the secret. How did they know it? No one knew it, but it is certain that they naturally would not miss such big news.
On that day, several newspapers in Nanjing moved the front page advertisements to report on the front page of the group's detained news, and even vividly described the abuse and murder of the group members.
For a moment, the whole country was shocked!
The atrocities of the natives completely angered the Ming people!
What is the Ming Dynasty?
The country of heaven!
It’s a happy Ming Dynasty that everyone calls you dad.
But now, the Ming Dynasty's mission has been detained and the envoys have been tortured. How can this be accepted? Where is the face of the Ming Dynasty?
People are angry!
For the Ming Dynasty, the Ottoman atrocities were simply equivalent to provocation and humiliation!
The anger can be imagined. Even if the merchant ships thousands of miles away were attacked by pirates, the Ming people would use fleet intervention. Now the envoy of the Heavenly Dynasty was detained and killed! Such humiliation is naturally unbearable.
A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!
So how could an angry crowd sit at home and sulk? People go to the streets and express their voices to the government in the most common way the people of the Ming Dynasty used. They do not protest against atrocities, but submit petitions to the government. All petitions often have a sentence - "Those who violate my great power in the tomorrow will be punished even if they are far away!"
People are prone to losing their minds when they are angry. Fortunately, the Ottomans did not have an embassy in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they would definitely not be able to escape the fate of being beaten and smashed. In some places, the Green Cult Temple was even affected, and they suffered.
The government naturally stopped the people's excessive behavior. After all, the Ming Dynasty had free faith, but the government's actions were always a little slower. By the time the government stopped it, the temples were almost gone, and it was impossible to rebuild them again. The Ming Dynasty now has very strict supervision on the construction of temples - it must be approved by the court. Without the court, to be precise, it is impossible to build a new temple. Of course, this is aimed at "external religions". As for Buddhism and Taoism, well, these only require the consent of the governor's yamen. After all, there is a difference between inside and outside.
Of course, some people protested at the beginning, saying that Buddhism is also foreign, and it is foreign, but it has become Chinese, and it was Chinese a thousand years ago. Let’s talk about it when you become Chinese.
You want to make sense?
What's the point?
This is the king's law!
Because of the government's intervention, the public's public opinion also accuses the government of the government. What are cowardly and what are fears of incompetence? What are these hats flying to the government, and of course, all the conflicts eventually fall on the cabinet. After all, whether to send troops depends on the cabinet's decision.
Of course everyone knows that the final decision must have been made by Emperor Qian Sheng, but no one seems to have said this.
Although some people who are still rational find that something seems wrong, they can't say anything. But soon, the cabinet followed the public opinion and made a decision after a vote - declared war on the Ottoman!
It's really weird.
When did the Ming Dynasty go through this form in the past?
But none of this matters. On the day the ticket was planned, the newspaper once again received this confidential news.
"Extra! Extra!... Major news! The Ming Dynasty declared war on Ottoman!... Extra! Extra!... declared war, declared war! China declared war on Ottoman!..."
In the streets and alleys of various cities, countless newspaper boys shouted the same voice. People rushed out from all places and snatched the newspapers from the newspaper boys' hands. A whirlwind blew across the land of China. This was something that had never happened in the history of the Ming Dynasty - the Ming Dynasty declared war on the powerful country thousands of miles away!
"Scary... terrible fanatic... madness, why can't we look at war rationally? We don't need such wars, especially such unknown wars."
When the results of the lottery came out, listening to the cheerful shouts of the people outside the palace, Song Xuezhu, as the chief minister, muttered in a low voice, his face was gray and there was no trace of blood.
At this time, Zhang Bingwen patted his shoulder and said.
"Old Prime Minister, it doesn't matter whether the Ming Dynasty needs this war, what's important is... Your Majesty needs it, and the Prince needs it."
Zhang Bingwen's words were not loud, and Song Xuezhu could only hear them clearly.
"Will you go, how about the Tianranju gathering in a while?"
Half an hour later, Zhang Bingwen and Song Xuezhu sat in Tianranju's private room. This was not the first time they came here, but today the two of them were in a very heavy mood.
Two old men
"This battle is very confused."
After drinking Song Xuezhu, he said directly.
"Why are you confused?"
"Originally, as long as you send a fleet over, you can only shoot it. With the strong ships and powerful artillery of our Ming Dynasty, even if the Ottomans are a powerful country in the world, what can we do? But now it has become a battle to destroy the country. Then the Ottomans are a great country in the world. They are willing to dispatch tens of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of miles of expeditions, and such a waste of money, wouldn't it be very confused?"
"Confused?"
Shaking his head, Zhang Bingwen said.
"Didn't the old general realize that this matter was what His Majesty wanted from beginning to end?"
"His Majesty……"
"Although Your Majesty is not the founding king, his achievements in the Ming Dynasty are equivalent to those of the founding king. Although Your Majesty wins the world with his horse, it is different from the founding kings from ancient times to the present. Not only does he share the world with the scholars and officials, but also with the ministers. His civil and military qualities are the way of governing, and..."
Zhang Bingwen looked out the window, looking out the window at the people who were hustling "revenge" on the streets, and continued.
"The prince is already an adult, and the prince will always succeed to the throne in the future! But how does the prince share the world with his honorary ministers? Therefore, this is also the reason why the prince gave this matter to the prince for handling! This is also the reason why the prince went to the Governor's Office of the Five Army first."
After taking a sip of wine and enjoying the mellow fragrance of his daughter's redness, Zhang Bingwen was silent for a long time before saying.
"Once the emperor and the minister, the prince is already adult. We are all old..."
All are old!
When Zhang Bingwen said this, Song Xuezhu sighed. He has been the prime minister for more than 20 years and is already old. In fact, he knows everything Zhang Bingwen says and can understand it. It is precisely because he can understand that he is unwilling to pretend to be confused.
"But, this battle is always a mess! Even if the Ottomans thousands of miles away are destroyed, what is the use of our Ming Dynasty? It's just a useless place."
"Who said it's useless?"
Zhang Bingwen smiled,
"For Your Majesty, there is no useless place. The world is so big, how much can you get. Our Majesty has dozens of sons. They all have their own vassal state, even the prince, and there are several sons. In the future, they will also have feudal places for overseas. It is natural that the prince will make a territorial land for his son."
"I understand all of what you said, but because I understand, so..."
Song Xuezhu said with a frown.
"So I don't want to face these things so confusedly. Could it be that every generation of the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty will destroy a country before boarding the plane? If this continues, right? Is our Daming good or bad? It is not a good thing for the people to be powerful and powerful!"
Zhang Bingwen was silent for a while, and then said.
"It is not necessarily a good thing to be a militaristic man. However, as we all know, for Your Majesty, he will never allow any country in this world that can threaten the Ming Dynasty, and Turkey is such a country, so no matter what, Your Majesty will find a way to solve him. This time it was just that they gave the excuse to the door."
Perhaps, Zhang Bingwen knows His Majesty’s ideas better and understands His Majesty’s intentions more.
"Will the emperor of the Ming Dynasty be powerful in the future be a military force? I don't know, but for the Ming Dynasty, the best choice is that no one can threaten the Ming Dynasty. Do you think that?"
