Chapter 37: Zheng Zhun Visits

He thought about it, what local Vietnamese figures, in his eyes are just dead people who are about to enter the grave, of course, the established strategy is still very moderate, there are already people discussing whether the battle line is too long will cause the problem of getting out of control, fundamentally speaking, the elders now have complete control over the old and new urban areas of the imperial capital at most, the general countryside, even the most basic census has not been carried out, it can be said that the degree of mastery is similar to that of my Qing Dynasty and my Republic of China.

Without a basic census, a census of age groups, how to set up community hospitals, barefoot doctors, build schools, all kinds of production?

They have long been caught in such a ridiculous contradiction in the north, lacking students and reliable teams, and they can't do a basic census even if they want to, but how can they create more literate people without developing civilian manpower?

In the long march of thousands of miles in history, that group of people can eat the grassroots, while chatting about whether the world's most advanced warship is a battleship or an aircraft carrier, and even walking, as a propaganda team, but also generally teach literacy classes, it can be said that although there is not one person in dozens, but the spirit and spirit are the pinnacle of human history.

Look at the elders again, they have the most advanced equipment and materials in the new time and space, but under such advanced equipment, most of the members are delicate and not as good as many women in the new time and space, at least in terms of tenacity, one elder accidentally drank the well water "outside", and after not purifying it, he directly pulled his stomach for three days, and he could only run back to the imperial capital to hum.

Li Xiangqian commented very accurately, raising the discarded Eight Banners disciples.

Of course, the elders are already considered to be the inhabitants of the old plane with the best average quality and enterprising, but you have to sigh that except for reading a few more books, it is normal for there to be a gap in other aspects.

As a Hanfu lover, Mu Rongshan is already a powerful figure with boundless action, of course, just like those travelers who are full of beautiful words, lamenting that the damn modern civilization has ruined such a green mountain and green water, so that they don't have new sanitary ware, and they will cry three days later.

Of course, he is still not very acceptable to many things in ancient times, such as his attitude towards women, as a child who was educated as a new human being in New China, respecting women is still a good consciousness, compared to this era, the attitude of sending his daughter out for the sake of family health at every turn is really different.

Mu Rongshan naturally rejected Qi Tai's behavior of sending his granddaughter, it is one thing to spend public expense to buy a few "life secretaries", and it is another thing to accept sexual bribes to engage other people's current officials, after all, although he doesn't care about being an official, but at least he has the most knowledge.

Hongji Port has gradually become a little different, at least the road has been smoothed, the port has also expanded, under the continuous money of Murong Mountain, the people on the street are also neatly dressed, and a few subordinates who are dressed as a whole spray all kinds of pesticides, basically all kinds of insects have been cleaned.

As for the next step, the benevolent elders began to send doctors to the countryside to treat various infectious diseases around Hongji, but at this time, people from Hanoi really appeared.

Compared with the Nth generation Zheng Zhiwen who is not valued, Zheng Zhun is an officer who happens to belong to the Praetorian Guard, in fact, he is the chief officer who went south to attack the Ruan clan in the coming year, and he can buy advanced arms from the Celestial Empire when he understands it, and after getting it confirmed, he is immediately interested, but in terms of face, he still has his own reserve, how to say that they are all living by themselves behind closed doors, and they are even more angry with the old club in the past.

Therefore, Mu Rongshan saw a black and thin old man, of course, in fact, Zheng Zhun and Mu Rongshan are actually the same age, but people in their thirties, Zheng Zhun is a wanderer, exposed to the sun, and Mu Rongshan people are properly maintained, and they look like two generations!

This is also a very clear distinction for later generations, after all, in this era, eggs are still food, and in later generations, which woman does not use egg whites to apply to her face every month and consumes a few catties of eggs?

Zheng Zhun looked at "Chu Liuxiang", although all the information showed that this was a complete playboy in front of him, but he was still afraid of being deceived, so after greeting for a while, he asked directly: "Dare to ask Gongzi, in the imperial capital, what is the official position in the family?" ”

Mu Rongshan said quietly: "This, I really don't want to talk nonsense, you have to think about it, I'm outside, I have to be safe." ”

Zheng Zhun was not very satisfied, but the man in front of him had real goods, and still said: "Childe's gun is really powerful, but I don't know what the price is, how to deliver it, don't hide it from Childe, my country wants to exterminate the rebel party in the south, and it is indeed necessary to use firearms, I don't know if the Celestial Empire can support a small country." ”

He claimed support, and naturally thought that it was the same as in the past, asking the Celestial Empire to give this and that, and not giving it to nature was a symbol of stinginess without the weather of the Celestial Empire.

Mu Rongshan didn't answer this and said: "Seriously, I said to Zheng Zhiwen Gongzi about this matter, I don't care, you ask me how much money, how do I know, didn't you say, go to North Industries Group." ”

Zheng Zhun frowned and said, "The small country is poor, but I am afraid that there is not much gold and silver, and I asked my son to help me say a few good words." ”

The trick that these small countries have always used to deal with China is nothing more than a few nice words to say humbly, and those who are in great power are not his anyway, and they are naturally happy to use the state's money to buy the benefits of foreigners.

This is a stubborn disease, exchanges between countries cannot be without entanglement of interests, and when judging and weighing, it is impossible to discuss openly, so power begins to concentrate in the hands of a few people.

This power is terrible, and the private gift can be sold almost in the most covert way, without being noticed, after all, it is very simple to "publicize" a person with the power of the state.

Looking at the foreign policy of the entire Ming Dynasty, it is really a mess, chicken feathers and duck blood, in essence, there is a group of scholars who can only do it because of lazy politics, and at the same time, under the input-output ratio, these small countries are also willing to use a small price, at least at a small price in the eyes of these small countries, to public these high-ranking officials.

It can be said that Vietnam has exhausted all kinds of tricks, and even after shouting out the words that the place where kapok blooms is the land of Vietnam, those high-ranking officials are still unaware and use the trick of moving the boundary monument a little bit today, and the trick of moving the boundary monument a little tomorrow, to occupy the land.

His idea is naturally very simple, if he can let China "reward" some arms, even if it is a few good words, or bribe this gentleman, then what is it?

Mu Rongshan understood almost instantly, because before he went out, someone had already helped him with ideological training, and he knew how these small countries dealt with them, it was nothing more than pretending to be pitiful first, and then pretending to be fierce, and if he didn't give money, he looked down on him.

An official who provokes a border war will naturally not be liked by his superiors, but under the strategy of a single pawn, in order to make others "satisfied", how can a bureaucrat do it?

It's not about sacrificing the interests of the people and appeasing external troubles, as for them, the rogue officials, after doing this term, they will pat their butts and leave, and the mess will be left to the next unlucky neighbor.

This can be said to be the biggest difficulty in the diplomatic position, even if the United States is in the ascendant in the future, it will suffer a lot because of this, because people have not done anything else, just a pawn, if you rob your city, it will definitely not work, but if it is just a canal, a few stones, then to start a war for this, is it too much? In the rear, there are naturally officials of the Donglin Party who attack and spread rumors, and in the end, the officials who safeguard the interests of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to do it, but the guys who safeguard the interests of the bureaucrats can take office.

This is also before the great geographical discovery, the rich areas around China have been taken, for other poor ghosts, even if they are defeated, it is not worth the loss, if the Northern Dynasty does not have so many mountains, there are several emperors in office, and it will be taken long ago.

Therefore, when Zheng Zhun met the Chinese bureaucrats, his first thought was to say a few nice words to see if he could extort money, but the money was not theirs anyway, and in the name of "good-neighborliness and friendship" and "showing the bearing of a great power", he spent all of it, and no one could say anything, otherwise, the charge of petty gas could be thrown away directly.

This is why, since the Song Dynasty, transactional officials, that is, technocrats who deal with all kinds of practical work every day, have become more and more inferior, and people who use all kinds of people to fight for their hearts have begun to rise to the top.

However, although Zheng Zhun was stunned, the officials of the Ming Dynasty actually dared not kneel and lick Vietnam, which really made him angry, but thinking about it, this person is said to have just rebelled and destroyed the Ming Dynasty, the upstart of the court, and it is difficult to see it if he doesn't know the rules.

Hmph, wait until the days are long, see the opportunity, unify Vietnam first, and then slowly encroach on the north, it has always been the dream of Vietnamese monarchs and ministers, in fact, it is also very simple, you only need to order the soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people, provoke the frontier, and then go to complain, then the Donglin Party in the court naturally knows it, and after giving the benefits to appease the foreign lord, it is natural to take over the people who are not serving the foreign lord enough.

This is the same as when I was in school, there was always a person who liked to bully people, deliberately knocked you down, shouted that you hit him, and began to beat people, and waited until the teacher came, the so-called teacher, naturally the fewer things the better, for the troublesome students, it was natural that "a slap does not make a sound", each hit fifty boards, and over time, naturally no one beat with the gangster.

Psychology, people's hearts, it's so wonderful, Zheng Zhun is still thinking, how to teach the new court to be well-behaved, but for Mu Rongshan, it is useless, he has already been vaccinated, and he knows that unlike the scholars of the Donglin Party, foreign countries are wild and ignorant, foreigners can come to China, which is not a human spirit? Even the black people who were ridiculed knew that when they got off the plane, they would shout when they saw a woman, "Do you want to learn English, let's go and open a house over there."

People are always calculating you, and instead of looking for smart people to fight your spirit, you are cheated by a group of translators, which naturally has a lot of problems.

Mu Rongshan said lazily: "Ah, this, I'm not very familiar with it." ”

Zheng Zhun asked: "Aren't you ready to ask for assistance for my country?" ”

Mu Rongshan asked: "When did I say such a thing, it's just that it is more difficult for you to fight life and death, so I pointed out a place to buy arms, this is not what I said." ”

Zheng Zhun frowned and said: "The Celestial Empire should not treat a small country like me with a good life, give money and things, talk about money like this, are you really an official eunuch of the Celestial Empire." ”

Mu Rongshan waved his hand and said, "How many times have I said it, I came to the south to eat, drink, and play with women, and I don't care about political matters." ”

Zheng Zhun was angry and said: "Do you know that my country is still in the midst of war, but I have a mind to ......" At that time, I thought that I really had no reason to ask people so much, so I eased up and pretended to be kind and pleasant, instead of treating the Ming officials like I originally called for peace: "When will the prince leave for the imperial capital and invite assistance for my country, time waits for no one, let's leave tomorrow." ”

Mu Rongshan said: "Go back? The imperial capital is so cold, why should I go back, I plan to spend the New Year in Hongji, and then go to Thailand, Singapore Malaysia and Thailand to play. ”

Zheng Zhun shook his face and said, "The son came to my country, but he refused to contribute to my country, so how can I do it." ”

Suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he changed his face and said with a pleasant face: "I know that the imperial capital is still fighting against Jiangnan, but if you can support our country with benevolence and righteousness in Vietnam and support our country's 10,000 rifles, my country will definitely go to the world to promote the benevolence and righteousness of Gongzi, so that Gongzi will remain famous in the history books, and the Donglin Party in Jiangnan will not directly ask for surrender when they hear about Gongzi's benevolence." ”

Mu Rongshan used his brain, thinking of those Donglin Party's future styles, history books?

Thinking of the history of the Ming Dynasty that was tampered with and weird in later generations, at least many of the historical materials they got were different from the rumors of later generations, at least Ming Xizong was not a carpenter emperor, jokes, people can also play with women every day until their waists are broken, what are they carpenters, the ethics of those scholars have been understood, those scholars, whoever is good to them, they will be extremely vicious to others, and those who really beat and kill them are directly kneeling and licking.

Since they understand this, then for those Donglin Party, the elders are naturally sharpening their knives and showing no mercy, no matter what, the people they trust the most are the people they cultivate.

Mu Rongshan smiled: "Don't you still understand, this imperial capital doesn't care, those scholars say good things about me, what's the use, can you play as a woman, or as money." ”

Zheng Zhun then remembered that although the people in front of him were from the imperial capital, they were not those Donglin Party who were selling their reputations, and if they could say a few nice words, they could fool them into betraying the interests of the country, but the people who really started by rebellion.
