Chapter 0067 Kill the dragon! Encirclement Japanese tactics!!
“Then you need to order the Ministry of Industry and Maintenance Department to urgently sort out the shipbuilding design drawings of the past generations and formulate a general design drawing of sea-going ships.”
“You need to order the Chief Envoy of Sichuan to mobilize tens of thousands of people to transport thousand-year-old trees from the deep mountains of Sichuan that are hard in texture, clear in texture, and not easy to crack.”
“You need the Ministry of Accounts to quickly formulate a clear and efficient management system and reward and punishment arrangements.”
“You need the Ministry of Civil Affairs to recruit officials who know how to build ships from all over the country and come to the capital.”
“You need the Ming Dynasty Navy, with hundreds of people and thousands of people stationed at the shipyard, to provide practical suggestions and improve the design.”
“You need the Hangzhou Manufacturing Bureau, with thousands of embroiderers working day and night to make sails that are dozens of feet high.”
“You need to directly control Luzhou Prefecture and Anqing Prefecture to provide tens of thousands of kilograms of high-quality tung oil to prevent insects.”
“You need Tianfu Longjiang Shipyard to provide Qianzhang Shipyard as a manufacturing site”
“You need to have thousands of craftsman leaders to direct and arrange the sampan, fix the beam heads and winding columns, erect the beam heads, fix each beam head, bucket neck, soaring beam, fix the tail wind beam and other parts of the production and Install”
“Finally, you need a large area of absolutely safe inland sea for trial navigation and timely adjustments and repairs.”
“You need a strong centralized power, a state machine that can be directed like an arm, highly disciplined people, and grassroots managers with considerable organizational capabilities.”
“Countless soldiers with a spirit of sacrifice and a sense of mission, hundreds of thousands of people who are willing to work and endure hardships”
“All in all, you need a great dynasty and great people”
“Do you still think Japan can build big ships?”
The words fell.
The whole place was silent.
Zhu Di was suddenly shocked.
Yao Guangxiao was also shocked.
And Zhu Yuanzhang outside the room suddenly felt a surge of pride at this moment, and his eyes lit up:”What Heng’er said But it was whipped inside!”
“Yes, how can Japan have such national power!”
After Zhu Heng said this, he suddenly realized… It seemed that even he had fallen into a misunderstanding, and the combat power of Japan was too high.
He wanted to build the kind of fleet that could go to sea.
It was enough to drain a small country!
At this moment, Zhu Heng said with a playful smile:”Sea ships can be said to be the most cutting-edge technology in the world.”
“We are enough to crush Japan!”
That’s right, it’s crushing.
In this era, shipbuilding is equivalent to the aircraft carrier in the previous life.
The process is complicated and the materials are expensive. Only big countries can afford it!
Although the Ming Dynasty can’t talk about any technology now.
But in terms of shipbuilding , enough to choke any country’s neck!
In a normal timeline, the West would not be able to catch up with the Ming Dynasty’s shipbuilding technology in three hundred years!
Zhu Di just recovered from the shock and let out a sigh of excitement. Said:”Brother, these words of yours can wake up the dreamer.”
“Yes, I underestimated the national power of Ming Dynasty!”
“In addition, the current Japan is far from as powerful as you think.”
Zhu Heng continued:”Now Japan has just ended the war between the Southern and Northern Dynasties.”
“Ashikaga Yoshimitsu unified Japan not long ago, but he did not have such strong control over the many families under his command.”
“We can’t even ask them to donate their own resources to build some big ship.”
“Concentrating strength to do big things requires a strong centralization of power. This is a unique system of the Chinese dynasty and is far beyond the reach of Japan.”
“Not bad.”
When Zhu Di heard this, he was even more excited. He seemed to have seen the Ming fleet approaching Japan.
The Japanese army could only flee.
But he still suppressed his excitement and said as calmly as possible:”The big ship is here. , the rest is to be used, brother, tell me, what should we do if the Japanese army closes the island and cannot leave?”
The most feared thing about an expedition is that the enemy closes the city without fighting.
The Ming army came from afar and had limited supplies, but they couldn’t afford it.
But at this moment, Zhu Heng smiled and said directly:”Have you ever played Go?”
“Go?”
Zhu Di was confused.
“Go is like a battle situation. What matters is the word”Wei”, so I set a eight-character policy.”
“Island chain blockade, slow penetration”
“The key point here lies in the word island chain.”
As he spoke, Zhu Heng lit the tea with his finger and started drawing on the table:”Look, there are four main islands in Japan, but outside of these four main islands, there are many small ones from north to south. islands, dotted”
“Do you think the islands here look like a chain when connected together?”
“Um?”
At this time, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao looked at it and suddenly became energetic!
It’s really similar!
These four islands look like an evil dragon, and the surrounding islands look like the claws of this evil dragon.
If you occupy it, These surrounding islands are equivalent to cutting off the four claws of this dragon and turning these four claws into trapped dragon locks!
“After occupying these small islands, the Japanese army was surrounded by the Ming army and had no chance of survival!”
“If they want to enter or leave the island, they all have to look at the face of the Ming army!”
“Then there are the last four words, slowly and miserable.”
Seeing that they understood, Zhu Heng continued to talk:”After establishing a foothold, the only thing left is to make progress.”
“But how to make progress?”
“These are four words: distant friendship and close attack.”
“You can understand the current Japan as a smaller version of China’s Warring States Period.”
“Moreover, they were even more chaotic than during the Warring States Period.”
“Wait, there’s a question here.”
But at this time, Zhu Di quickly stopped, frowned and said:”Brother, don’t forget, we are Han people.”
“Who will be distant friends with us?”
“Even during the Warring States Period, when the kingdoms were constantly at war, there was still the concept of Zhu Xia and Yi Di.”
“The fourth child is making progress……”
At this time, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Di’s words, he couldn’t help but nodded slightly in agreement.
If you want to unite vertically and horizontally, you must consider ethnic groups!
The so-called people who are not of my race must have different minds.
This has been confirmed countless times in Chinese history.
Even at the end of the dynasty, such as the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao could obviously let the barbarians enter and deal with Shuwu with them, but he would rather deal with Shuwu by himself than cooperate with the barbarians.
For example, Zhuge Liang would not cooperate with the Nanman, but would conquer them first and make them his subordinates.
And the Southern Song Dynasty.
Even if the Southern Song Dynasty was so cowardly, at the end of the dynasty, there were few Han forces who dared to cooperate blatantly with the Mongols.
This is the power of the community.
The Han people invaded Japan, which is naturally the same reason.
“The eldest brother took it for granted.
Zhu Biao also nodded slightly and said:”But no matter what, brother’s island chain tactics are still very good.”
Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled with emotion:”After all, no one is perfect. Even with your eldest brother’s talent, there are some oversights. It’s not surprising.”……”
As a result, Zhu Heng’s voice came from inside.
“That’s because you are not familiar with the character of the Japanese people. In fact, the Japanese people are probably eager to cooperate with us.”
“What?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, with a look of disbelief on his face.
But Zhu Di in the Zen room asked the question on his behalf.
“how come? Japanese people are not fools!
Zhu Di’s face was full of disbelief at this moment:”We are here to destroy their country and destroy their species. How can they cooperate with foreign races?””
“That’s because you don’t understand the Japanese mentality.”
Zhu Heng shook his head slightly and said patiently:”People are different.”
“Ethnic groups are also different from ethnic groups.”
“Japan is a small country with frequent volcanoes and earthquakes, and the land is barren.”
“To make matters worse, they also have many hills, dividing the already small country into several pieces.”
“Every territory is occupied by daimyo. In order to compete for territory, there have been many battles since ancient times.”
“This is a land that makes people extremely insecure and turbulent.”
“Therefore, Japanese people’s character has also become extremely extreme.”
“Specifically, it is extreme survivalism. The word”survival” is engraved in their bones.”
“In order to survive, they give up everything and can change everything”
“That means becoming extremely shameless and obscene. Zhu Di was a little confused when he heard this.
Is there such a group of people in the world?
He hesitated and said,”Didn’t they learn a lot about the cultural system of the Tang Dynasty?” The Tang Dynasty was famous for its martial arts and openness.”
Zhu Heng sneered:”Don’t tell me that they have been infiltrated by Chinese culture. They traveled across the ocean to learn from the cultural system of the Tang Dynasty. This is just a manifestation of their extreme survival.”
“But no matter whether it is a person or a group, once it goes to extremes, it is easy to become abnormal.”
“Who can let them live and live better? They can abandon their dignity and recognize their father directly!”
“So you can’t look at Japanese people from a Chinese perspective”
“For the Japanese, if you can help them defeat their enemies, they don’t care whether you are Han or not. As long as you can bring them benefits and are stronger than them, they will kneel down and call you”Dad” and say”Daddy” from the depths of their souls. surrender to you”
“But if you lose this absolute repressive power”
“Then they will also let you see what it means to turn against someone and they will bite you back right away!”
Seeing the two of them, I still can’t understand.
Zhu Heng also knows that it is still difficult for Ming people who are still immersed in the glory of the founding of the country to understand the perverted thinking of Japanese people.
After all, as a normal person, you can never Understand the abnormal thinking.
He continued to explain:”In short, the environment shapes people, and it can also shape a nation’s culture, character, and mentality.”
“What is environment? Can be understood as geographical environment, climate”
“Just as there are many generous and tragic people in the bitter cold and vast land of Yanzhao, there are many romantic talents in the south of the Yangtze River where the spring breeze is intoxicating.”
“Why are there so many generous and tragic people in Yan and Zhao since ancient times? Is it because they are naturally aggressive? of course not!”
“Because the rainfall in Yanzhao is low, the climate is cold, the farming is hard, and the harvest is small. If you want to survive in that environment, you must work hard to fill your stomach.”
“So we have to fight for water sources and fields. Moreover, we are located on the border, and we have to face barbarian intrusions from time to time.”
“Therefore, the folk customs of Yanzhao are martial arts, and only those with strong martial arts and loyalty can unite the villagers and survive.”
“So it’s not that the people of Yanzhao are born tough, but that the environment forces them to be so.”
“This is called survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest”
“It is also the same reason if you place it in the south of the Yangtze River.”
“In the land south of the Yangtze River, the climate is warm and the rainfall is abundant. Therefore, the food output is high and the people have more options. It is not as rolled as in the north, or in other words, the method of rolling is different.”
“People can raise silkworms, weave cloth, and do work. After earning money, they can send their children to school.”
“When the children finish their studies, pass the imperial examination, and become officials, they can also feed back their hometown, thus forming a virtuous circle. Naturally, the local academic style will flourish, and the number of talented people will increase accordingly.”
“Therefore, in the land south of the Yangtze River, people with strong martial arts skills are not popular, but scholars are more popular.”
“Every place, from a small village to a large country, is silently following this law of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest.”
“I call it Social Darwinism!”
“Of course, it’s still a little difficult for you to understand this now.”
“All you need to remember now is that the so-called social Darwinism means the law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest.”At this point, the preliminary content of the theory of sea power is basically over.”
Zhu Heng said After a long time, his mouth was dry, and Zhu Di was already fascinated by what he was listening to, so he quickly poured him a cup of tea.
And he said with a look of shock on his face:”Is this just preliminary content?”
“Is the theory of sea power so profound?”
You know, Zhu Heng just started from the birth of land power, and talked about the destruction of land power and the birth of sea power.
He also talked about the impact of geographical environment on folk customs, and then introduced a new concept like social Darwinism..
This can be said to be all-encompassing, much more specific and more useful than the so-called subtle words of the saints!
Zhu Di felt that it would take him a long time to digest it.
Once he digested it, Zhu Di felt that he could at least understand Yan Di. The governance is clear.
Is this just the early stage?
Zhu Heng said with a smile:”Of course, the expansion of sea power is not only for expansion, but also for subsequent benefits.”
“Thus, there is the second half, which is unique to the sea power era…colonial theory”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand what a colony is now. Remember first that wealth is created by people.”
“If we want to maximize the wealth of the conquered lands, we can’t do the trick of leaving the land for the people.”
“Rather, we need to study how to manage it in order to maximize our interests.”
Zhu Heng is of course not a saint who pursues world harmony. In fact, if possible, he hopes that the Han people can reproduce six billion people and occupy the entire world. But isn’t this still impossible?
But at this time.
Outside the Zen room. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned:”It seems that he is a little soft-hearted.”
The so-called people who are not from my race must have different minds.
When the Mongols invaded the Central Plains, they caused countless killings.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was normal.
After all, when the Central Plains people had the upper hand, those Chai Yi also There will be no good end either.
In the traditional concept of the Han people, barbarians are not considered human beings.
The reason why the Han people can occupy such a large territory is naturally not based on faith and harmony, but on endless killing..
