When the situation in Japan underwent earth-shattering changes, Zhu Cihong has been immersed in the gentle township of Yongshou Palace for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

When the news came, Emperor Zhu was very excited, Shaoren, this kid, finally lost himself!

Zhu Cihong specially summoned the crown prince Zhu He and asked him to read the report on the assassination of the Japanese emperor with emotion, and asked: "What is the truth?" ”

His Majesty Zhu He thought for a while and replied: "Father, the emperor often taught the emperor that since ancient times, there was a struggle between imperial power and relative power, and I think this is a political struggle within the Japanese dynasty. ”

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly and said, "Why are they fighting?" ”

Zhu He said: "Naturally, because of interests, the Japanese emperor harmed the interests of the Japanese conservative shogunate, and was strongly resisted, so that it attracted the disaster of killing!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "That's right, do you know why my father was able to succeed in my Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zhu He Majesty thought for a while and said, "Because my father is eloquent and strategic, he will save all the people from fire and water, and convince the subjects of the world!" ”

"!"

Zhu Cihong scolded with a smile: "Since I was ten years old, I have embarked on internal political reform, abolished the guards, collected business taxes, and the number of assassinations I have encountered in the past ten years cannot be counted on two hands, and the sea of people who are not convinced by me has gone!" ”

"How did Father succeed?" Zhu He Majesty was puzzled.

Zhu Cihong squinted his eyes slightly, and said seriously: "Because I am ruthless and tough!" As long as the reform is beneficial to the country and the benefit of the subjects, I will not hesitate to eradicate the opponents, kill them all, and make them never turn over! ”

"Understood?"

His Majesty Zhu replied weakly: "The emperor understands......"

Zhu Cihong sighed, and the secret prince still came out of the state of killing for the first time.

After the last captive ceremony, Zhu Cihong asked the two princes to kill the prisoners and practice their hands, and each of them led an elderly Spanish nobleman to toss.

It is completely conceivable that the two children are in a state of mind when they face the blonde and blue-eyed bad old man with a short knife.

And the two old men, one of whom was Oquindo, the commander of the Spanish Armada, was very arrogant and treacherous.

When he learned that he was going to be executed by the young Ming prince, he was shocked and angry, like crazy, pulling the dog chain on his body, grinning and scaring the child.

The two little princes were indeed frightened, especially the second prince Zhu Heyuan, who was directly holding the knife and pestle there, and no longer had the pride and ambition to dominate the world on weekdays.

Prince Zhu and His Majesty were initially very afraid of the fierce and vicious Okundo, and they didn't dare to use the knife for a long time, but after all, this young master was the master of the vision from heaven when he was born, and he was destined to be a person who did great things.

When Okundo's distorted face was about to cramp, Zhu Hema, who was standing there and engaged in a struggle of thoughts, suddenly burst out, shouted, and rushed over with a short knife in both hands, stabbing Okundo's waist at once.

Okundo also wanted to resist the attack on Zhu and His Majesty, but was knocked down by Xu Sheng's fist on the head, and he didn't know whether he was dead or fainted.

Seeing that the crown prince took the lead in stabbing the second prince Zhu Heqi, who was frightened, was stunned, and reacted after a while, and he began to make a move against another Spanish aristocratic captive.

However, Zhu and His Majesty seemed to be more competitive, and they carried the knife over and stabbed Okundo seven or eight times in succession.

Regardless of whether the old man was dead or faint before, he was already dead when he was carried away later.

This scene once again shook the second prince Zhu Heqi, and since then, the Han King Zhu Heqi is really like a younger brother in front of the crown prince Zhu Heqi, and it has always been a beautiful picture of a brother and a friend.

Zhu Cihong patted the crown prince's shoulder and said, "If you want to be a father and emperor, you must be strong, and the throne cannot be guaranteed, let alone others?" ”

His Majesty Zhu He thought for a moment and said, "Thank you to my father, the emperor understands." ”

Then, Zhu Cihong opened a small stove to popularize the concepts of feudalism and capitalism to the crown prince, saying that the Tokugawa shogunate was a feudal diehard, and Emperor Shaoren was a representative of the new Japanese bourgeoisie, and it was inevitable that they would not be incompatible.

Zhu Cihong extended his reference to the Ming Dynasty and guided him to think about how to deal with the relationship between assets and feudalism.

Of course, it is too early to mention this, he only pointed out to the crown prince the main goal of life, how to use imperial power to lead the bourgeoisie of the Ming Dynasty. (Not a constitutional monarchy that limits the power of the monarch)

If the Ming Dynasty engages in a constitutional monarchy, the world will be peaceful and the world will be the same? !

In the seventeenth century, when the British practiced capitalism, was it not an autocratic dictatorship by Cromwell, the protector?

Even the Netherlands, the first country in the world to enter the capitalist country, has been in operation for more than 70 years, and it was not defeated by Britain, but later destroyed by France, which strengthened its centralized power.

The so-called Western democracy is nothing more than the dictatorship of a few people, and to a certain extent, public opinion can be manipulated and exploited.

Therefore, democratic politics is not a perfect system, they also have many conspiracies, insiders, and dirty transactions, if the Ming Dynasty is allowed to play this set, it will be another protracted and vigorous party struggle.

......

On the morning of the next day, Zhu Cihong immediately convened a meeting of the Imperial Court to study and arrange military arrangements for Japan.

The Imperial Council is attended by the Emperor, the Cabinet, and the Military Aircraft, and generally speaking, if this kind of meeting can be held, it means that a war is about to be fought.

The theme of the meeting was simple: how to conquer Japan and bring that insect-like island country into the territory of the Ming Dynasty?

The shogunate was now very strong, and they not only occupied most of Japan's territory at lightning speed, but also began to quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation in Japan in order to consolidate their rule.

Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the feudal lords of the Shogunate Alliance, the elder Sakai Tadakatsu continued to send troops to attack and intimidate, and also wooed the powerful Maori families of the Nagato clans in an attempt to completely divide the Shogunate Alliance from within.

Zhang Guowei, the head of the household, was puzzled: "Didn't we sell 20,000 muskets and 200 artillery pieces to Kyoto? And twenty excellent officers, how can their army be driven into dogs all the way as if they were playing around? ”

Huang Dedao, the chief minister of military aircraft, said: "Zhang Ge doesn't know that the war is not completely won by weapons, they have obtained our firearms, but if they want to form combat effectiveness, they will have to practice for at least a few months, and they will have to go through the tempering of actual combat. ”

Then, Huang Degong laughed: "Now the Japanese Imperial Army is nothing!" Even if you give them our most advanced muskets and artillery, you won't be able to play tricks! ”

Shoufu Yang Tinglin nodded and said, "Well, in the end, it was the Tokugawa Shogunate that was good enough to directly attack them by surprise and stunned the Shogunate Alliance." ”

He added, "What I'm most worried about is that the feudal lords of the Shogunate Alliance will be defeated by the shogunate. ”

Zhu Cihong knocked on the dragon case and said: "Don't worry, they are not the opponents of the shogunate, and I must send troops to intervene!" ”

"Whether it is the shogunate or the fallen shogunate, they will not be really friendly with my Daming, in the past, Shaoren was willing to befriend my Daming, because they thought they were not the opponents of the shogunate, and they hoped to borrow the power of my Daming to fight against the shogunate!"

Zhu Cihong snorted and said, "As soon as these guys fall and successfully grasp the Japanese power, even if they don't immediately turn against me, they will definitely be alienated from us, or even secretly oppose us!" ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true!"

The ministers nodded in unison, everyone is a social elite, this awareness is still there, between countries, isn't it the supremacy of interests?
