Daming: Lao Zhu is not dead yet, you want me to rebel?

Chapter 65



Chapter 0065 Ocean supremacy! Tomorrow Never Sets on the Empire! ?!

“Just imagine, if the territory expands to the extreme, it means that a dynasty can only have these stocks and no more increases.”

“If this continues, there will only be one consequence”

“Involution!”

“When the territory expands to the extreme but the population continues to grow, it means that the original resources are being diluted by the growing number of people.”

“When the per capita resources are diluted to an extreme value, the world will be in great chaos and the people will rise up.”

“So the theory of land power has reached its end.”

“This is also the fate of many dynasties in China!”

“The upper limit of territory determines the upper limit of a dynasty. When the upper limit is reached, what follows is an endless downhill road.”

“Earlier I talked about the rise of a dynasty, but now, I’m talking about the fall of a dynasty!”

Zhu Di was suddenly shocked. This does not require any examples.

Because there are many examples in history.

Many dynasties in China have followed this exact path!

Then he panicked and said:”Then the Ming Dynasty is also the same?”

“Now the territory of the Ming Dynasty has almost reached its extreme limit”

“Then, wouldn’t that taste be a road to despair?……”

“Wait, no, didn’t you say before that land annexation would be solved if it could be solved?”

“You still didn’t understand what I said before.

Zhu Heng looked at him speechlessly and said:”I never said that solving the land annexation can completely solve the problem of national subjugation.””

“It’s just that resolving land annexation can delay the collapse of the country and prolong the country’s prosperity.”

At this time,

Yao Guangxiao also forgot to recite sutras, and the mood that had calmed down a little was completely messed up. He looked at Zhu Heng in surprise.

And outside,

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked a little pale:”There is such a thing as Lu Quan Lun. Disadvantages!”

“Ming Dynasty still cannot escape the law of dynasty cycle!”

“Father, don’t worry.

Zhu Biao quickly said:”Brother has already given us a way, we can expand outwards.””

“It’s still the same!

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, but he still lowered his voice and said:”Did you listen carefully to what your elder brother said?””

“The upper limit of land is the upper limit of dynasty”

“Even if it means annexing surrounding countries”

“Our government can only delay the time of destruction.”

“The end point of the Lu Quan Wheel is the limit of the territory!”

Suddenly.

Zhu Biao panicked a little, and his face turned pale:”Then what should we do?”

“Why are you panicking?

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said,”Your elder brother has a way. Zhu Biao was stunned.””

“Your elder brother said it from the beginning! Zhu

Yuanzhang was a little impatient, but when he recalled what Zhu Heng said at the beginning, his eyes showed a thoughtful look:”If nothing else, that method is the so-called theory of sea power.””

According to Heng’er, in the next thousand years, sea power will gradually replace land power.

In other words, sea power is stronger than land power?!

Now Zhu Heng has clearly explained the theory of land power.

Next, It’s the turn of the sea power debate

“The theory of sea power should be able to solve the problem of Ming Dynasty.”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked uncertain, and looked into the Zen room with a solemn face.

At this moment, he had forgotten to investigate Zhu Di’s affairs today.

Compared with what Zhu Heng was telling…even if Zhu Di really wanted to Rebellion can only be regarded as a trivial matter.

What Zhu Heng talked about was all about the rise and fall of a thousand years!

But at this time

, Zhu Di was deeply shocked and said with a pale face:”The Ming Dynasty will still fall.”

“Will my descendants still be enslaved?”

“This… how about the Ming Dynasty kill all those barbarians now?”

In the end, Zhu Heng glanced at him speechlessly and said:”Then the Ming Dynasty fell into the quagmire of continuous war.”

“Will the people never have peace?”

“Can you think of something reliable?”

“Then tell me what to do.

Zhu Di was anxious:”You can’t wait like this!””

“You are so anxious, look at this master, he is not anxious at all.

Zhu Heng smiled slightly, looked at Yao Guangxiao and said,”Master, are you right?””

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao was suddenly awakened from the shock.

He looked at Zhu Heng with a look of shock. Who… is this person?

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao was suddenly awakened from the shock.

His eyes were full of shock. He looked at Zhu Heng in shock. Who is this person?

The theory of land power he just talked about was analyzing the reasons for the rise of the Ming Dynasty.

No, it’s not just the Ming Dynasty.

What he was analyzing was the fate of the entire China!

While he and others were still exploring history, Zhu Heng was already standing at the end of history, looking down on the past history.

His vision was simply unpredictable!

, has left him far behind.

But how is it possible? His talent is not inferior to anyone in the world!

Even now, he dares to compete with him!

However, he was just forced by the situation.

It didn’t mean that he didn’t have the ability to talk about national affairs!

But now he looked at Zhu Heng incomprehensibly.

His proud talent was in Zhu Heng’s hands.

He was crushed directly in front of him!

Unknowingly, he was filled with horror.

He was completely attracted by Zhu Heng’s theory, and he couldn’t help but ask:”What do you mean by Hai Quan? Is sea power the way to break the situation of land power?” Seeing Yao Guangxiao taking the bait, Zhu Heng smiled slightly and said:”That’s it.

“We already know the background of Lu Quan’s birth and where Lu Quan’s limits lie.”

“So naturally, when land rights are developed to the extreme, we should turn our attention to bigger places”

“That is the sea!”

“Why do I say that sea power is the future trend?”

“There are only two words at the core”

“resource!”

“The sea contains more resources than land”

“Therefore, the sea is a battleground for future military strategists. Whoever can control the sea will control the future!”

“The sea…has resources?”

At this moment, Zhu Di looked a little confused:”Isn’t the sea only for fishing? The sea can’t be used for farming.”

Then the words fell.

Zhu Di found that Zhu Heng was looking at him with an extremely helpless look, as if looking at a fool.

He was suddenly stunned:”Am I wrong?

Zhu Heng rolled his eyes and said,”Can you think of something other than farming?””

“During the Han and Tang Dynasties, there was no farming on the Silk Road, but the Silk Road also brought countless wealth to the Han and Tang Dynasties! Where did all that wealth come from? It’s because of trade!”

“The core of sea power lies in trade and plunder!”

“”This” Zhu Di suddenly understood when he heard this, and said with great joy:”You mean, we go to sea to become pirates and plunder the wealth of other countries?””

“For example, Japan’s silver mines!”

“You, your vision is still too narrow. Compared with the subsequent benefits, Japan is just an appetizer.

Zhu Heng shook his head and said:”Plundering is a way of fishing, but trade is a long-term solution. In the long run, the benefits from trade are much more than plundering.””

“The ocean is equivalent to a transportation artery for trade.”

“Just imagine, if you could monopolize the entire Ming Dynasty’s transportation arteries, how much profit would you make?”

Hearing this, Zhu Di was already stupid:”Then you can’t just lie down and make money.”

“That’s equivalent to me being the only businessman in the world who can travel freely everywhere. I can buy low and sell high, but I can’t make a lot of money!”

Zhu Heng smiled slightly and said:”It’s not just about making a lot of money.”

“To be precise, whoever controls the oceans controls world trade and therefore world wealth.”

“Control the world’s wealth?”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang outside was deeply shocked.

This short sentence meant endless gold and silver.

With such a sum of gold and silver, Ming Dynasty could develop its military power without any scruples. Developing hundreds of industries is enough to make Ming the true master of the world!

“No wonder sea power is so important. Brother is not exaggerating!

Zhu Biao was also shocked and said:”Father, eldest brother is right. Whoever controls the sea power first will control the future.””

“But if we say it the other way around”

“Whoever loses sea power will surely lag behind the world in the future! Zhu

Yuanzhang took a deep breath, but he couldn’t hide the excitement in his heart:”Remember, remember every word your elder brother said for us!””

“Governed the Tang and Song Dynasties, and reached the Han and Tang Dynasties far away!”

“We must rely on sea power!”

“yes!”

At this time,

Zhu Di’s face in the Zen room was already red with excitement, and his eyes were full of fire:”No wonder you want me to go to sea!”

“Brother, you tell me what to do, I will listen to you!”

“How should we control sea power?! Zhu Heng was speechless for a while and said:”Why do you listen to me? It is you who will go to sea in the future, not me. If you form an inertial dependence on me, what will you do if you encounter problems at sea in the future?””

“Now it’s up to you to figure out how to solve the problem.”

“The idea of solving a problem is more important than the method itself!”

“You must master this idea before going to sea!”

“indeed! indeed!”

Zhu Di suddenly realized it and began to think hard.

But Zhu Heng also smiled and looked at Yao Guangxiao and said:”Master, if you are interested, you can think about it.”

Of course I am interested!

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao has been deeply attracted by Zhu Heng’s blueprint for sea power and cannot extricate himself.

Compared with sea power, his own way of governing the country seems too narrow!

At this moment, he He also frowned and thought deeply in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side immediately said:”Your elder brother is right, the idea of solving a problem is far more important than the method itself, so you should think more about it!”

“yes……”

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said:”The core of sea power lies in the ocean, and to control the ocean, you must have sea ships.��”

“Therefore, we must first impose a sea ban, and in addition we must build ships, big ships!”

“Only in this way can we have the prerequisite to travel to all countries!”

“good.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said:”This is exactly the reason.””

Building ships is a natural thing that can be thought of.

But he felt that there were still some shortcomings.

He couldn’t help but look at the door of the Zen room again.

He wanted to know what else Zhu Heng could do.

At this moment,

Zhu Di said without thinking:”We must build big ships, and we must also train good sailors.

Zhu Heng nodded slightly:”What else?””

“There are also businessmen……”

But Yao Guangxiao finally couldn’t hold it back and couldn’t help but add:”The core of sea power lies in trade. Naturally, there must be smart businessmen to carry out trade.””

“Everything you say is correct, but there is actually something very important.”

Zhu Heng glanced at Yao Guangxiao with satisfaction and continued to persuade:”You guys continue to think about it.”

But Yao Guangxiao and others were stunned, thinking hard, but obviously couldn’t think of any solution.

Zhu Heng didn’t make it difficult for them, but said with some pity:”Actually, you are very close to the core content, but it is a pity that you are just one step away. foot……”

“It’s a commodity!”

“To conduct trade, you must ensure that local people buy your things. Commodities are the most important thing.”

“In this regard, our country also has an absolute advantage. Tea, porcelain, silk… these are all best-sellers.”

“Another point is the port and strait”

“Ports are a necessary condition for maritime transportation, and straits are like transportation arteries in land rights.”

“Controlling these two places is equivalent to monopolizing ocean transportation.”

“Let’s talk about ports first. After all, sea-going ships that can operate ocean voyages can be said to be giant ships. They must have excellent deep-water ports to accommodate them.”

“Now, let’s talk about your understanding of the major ports in the Ming Dynasty.”

Zhu Di looked confused at this time.

In the past twenty years, he had basically fought inland and did not know much about sea ports.

But at this time, Yao Guangxiao’s triangular eyes narrowed slightly and he immediately said :”You mean Yangzhou?”

“Since the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou has been an important port to and from the old capital.”

“Of course, there are other ports, such as Guangzhou, Ningbo, Quanzhou and other ports, which also emerged in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty.”

“But it gradually declined… Now the Yangzhou port is the most important.”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang outside the door also nodded slightly and sneered:”This Yao Guangxiao is indeed a person who is ready to rebel, and he has some knowledge.”

Since the sea ban, the status of ports in the Ming Dynasty has gradually declined.

The ports have become useless, and even officials in the DPRK and China are rarely aware of these ports. Although Yao Guangxiao was rebellious before, he has to say , he does have some knowledge……

“Biao’er, Yao Guangxiao can use it appropriately in the future. Zhu

Yuanzhang said lightly

“Yes, I remembered it. Zhu

Biao said quickly

“And most importantly, remember your elder brother’s words.

Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes slightly and said:”We must pay attention to the development of the port in the future.”

But at this time,

Zhu Heng shook his head slightly and said,”Wrong.”

Yao Guangxiao was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also slightly startled:”How could this be wrong?””

His understanding of the port is just like that of Yao Guangxiao.

Yangzhou Port has a history of hundreds of years, and countless domestic and foreign merchants come and go here.

This can be regarded as the port with the most complete facilities and the most prosperous commerce among the many ports in the Ming Dynasty..

But Zhu Heng still looks down on Jiu?
