On board the Boruo, after hearing Jin Ke's words, Wang Rulong also felt inexplicable admiration and said: "Yes, although the general is not talented, he has also met countless heroes in the world such as Marshal Qi, Governor Hu, Mr. Tan, and General Yu. Although they all attach great importance to coastal defense, this emphasis is on guarding against the ocean, alienating the ocean, and even fearing the ocean. Only the young master is a hero who is truly close to the ocean and hopes to conquer it."
Previously, several of them privately believed that Zhao Hao was plotting his army overseas, but in fact he was plotting something inside the country. But after talking to Zhao Hao for many years, they felt more and more clearly that the lord they were loyal to was really not interested in the Ming Dynasty, and only wanted to dominate the Ming Dynasty
This made them feel relieved, but it was inevitable that there would be traces of regret in the secret and dark places in their hearts.
"You have all studied "On Sea Power", and now you are in charge of a sea area. Have you ever thought about the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the ocean?" Zhao Hao asked softly while chatting.
But both of them were very energetic, because they knew that the young master was testing them in school. For generals of their caliber, this is the conversation that determines their future.
Lest Wang Rulong tell any lies, Jin Ke took the lead and said: "When I first read the "On Sea Power" given by the young master, I was very shocked.
But the more I think about it, the more convinced I am of the young master's foresight - in this era when trade depends on the ocean, it is more beneficial to win the ocean than to win the land! "
"According to Gongzi's theory of sea power, how could God favor China? We have a long coastline, a vast territory, one-third of the world's population, and no powerful country is adjacent to us. This gave Ming the natural geography of a land and sea country. Leave the mission of governing the world to China!"
"However, as just said, from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, including the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, to the Tang Zong, Song Zu, and even the Taizu of this dynasty, these kings who used the heaven and earth as a chessboard to make great plans, their vision of the world has always been limited. On the land of China. Therefore, their great achievements are only related to the land of China and have nothing to do with the ocean."
"Only Emperor Chengzu ever set his sights on the sea and built thousands of miles of maritime territory for the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, at that time, he only had naval commanders like Sanbao eunuch and no business genius like Young Master. The voyages to the West were a waste of national power and it was difficult to maintain. In the end, the sea map was burned, and the treasure ship Withered and turned into ashes. The Chinese people¡¯s eyes have returned to the land, and they are becoming more and more complacent, like a frog at the bottom of a well.¡±
"It shouldn't be like this. We have such a long coastline and tens of millions of people who make a living by the sea. We should not just be a land power, but also a sea power. Only by balancing both can we be called a heavenly country. !" Jin Ke's words made Zhao Hao feel more gratified, because he had indeed opened his eyes to see the world and set his sights on the whole world, not just the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.
"Yes, when he became an ancestor, he could be called the Kingdom of Heaven." Zhao Hao nodded and said: "But there is no need to blame the ancestors harshly. After all, before the great geographical discovery, the age of navigation has not yet come, and the world is indeed separated and disconnected. So they only focus on China does not undermine their greatness."
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "But now, Spain and Portugal have taken warships and spread the flames of war all over the world. They have also boldly carved up the world and grabbed endless profits. Their actions will definitely continue. Stimulating the great powers to rise up, more powerful and more difficult empires will rise in the future, completely crushing the big countries that the two countries were unable to conquer before - so in this era, no big country can be alone! Standing still will only sit in a dangerous city and lose power and humiliate the country. Even destroy the country and destroy the species. Become a sinner of the country and nation!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Rulong and asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
Then he saw Wang Rulong's red beard, like a ball of fire jumping in the wind, and there was a flame burning in his eyes: "Regardless of what happened before the founding of the ancestors, and since the founding of the ancestors, any court that ignores the ocean is a reactionary court. Any emperor who imposes sea bans and ruins China¡¯s revival in the sea is a foolish emperor!¡±
Jin Ke couldn't help but change his color slightly. In the Ming Dynasty, calling the emperor a coward was politically correct and there was no big problem. But it is extremely audacious to dare to criticize the court that "all the people are upright and prosperous" as a reactionary court.
But hearing this made him feel relieved.
"Well said!" Zhao Hao applauded: "Brother Wang always hits the nail on the head like this. You are so right! As Li Zhuowu said, the world is upside down now, so heroes have a hatred of injustice, and heroes have a fear of being reckless. Directly driving people to be thieves! Who is in charge of the world, the imperial court! The government has turned the world upside down, what is the imperial court if it is not reactionary?!"
In the depths of this distant ocean, the aura of the Ming Emperor completely disappeared, and he seemed to be as ordinary as the old king next door. Those topics that usually cannot be easily discussed are no longer taboo.
"" Jin Ke and Wang Rulong's hearts suddenly boiled with excitement as the young master said this.??Conquer the ocean, and you will be able to let the bright sun and moon shine on the world forever! "
After a pause, he let out a long sigh:
"So our biggest enemy is the concept of the imperial court and the people of the country! We must use every possible means to break the all-round imprisonment brought about by seclusion for more than 150 years! And we are the pioneers who are the first to break the shackles. Let us With swarms of merchant ships, mighty fleets, and mighty overseas frontier armies, we will open up vast and fertile overseas lands externally, and purify the rotten air internally, so that China, the sea, the country, and the sea of ??people will become one, and finally become one. Huge waves sweep across the entire world¡ªbut this is the only thing that can never be wrong!¡±
Zhao Hao almost shouted the last words.
Jin Ke and Jin Ke couldn¡¯t help but knelt on one knee and swore in unison: ¡°I will do whatever it takes to accomplish the prince¡¯s thousand-year plan, and I won¡¯t hesitate to do it!¡±
