    "I have listened clearly to the words of all of you who love me, and I am deeply aware of your loyalty to the country. Please listen to what I have to say. Since the Ming Dynasty, integrity has always been the most important thing. Taizu taught us: Do not cede land, do not pay annual tribute, do not make peace with each other, and live in peace.  The emperor defends the country, and the king dies in the country. How arrogant it is. For more than two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has never bowed its proud head to any foreign enemy!  With a heart that would rather be destroyed than destroyed, we will finally resist the invasion of foreign tribes again and again! This kind of courage is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty¡¯s foreign policy, and nothing and no one can change it!¡± ¡°The three tribes of Jiannu, Mongolia, and Tatar!  Disturbing my border and killing my people, I will send my army to chase them away! The next step will be to kill their clan and make them pay the price!¡± ¡°This time, the Catholic Church actually collaborated with us to subvert our rule because of our Ming Dynasty¡¯s refusal to come to preach!  The Dutch, Portuguese and British allied forces came to provoke, threatened to go to war, and threatened the Ming Dynasty to cooperate with the slaves. What do you think of the dignity of the Ming Dynasty? If we continue to retreat without fighting, what will happen to the people of the Ming Dynasty? Moreover, the Catholic coalition forces have already arrived.  Tianjin is so embarrassed that this war is inevitable. " "Moreover, the Netherlands has occupied Taiwan and Portugal has leased Macau, and now it is taking this opportunity to lease it for a long time. It should be noted that these are our Ming Dynasty's territories.  Great country, why do we want to seize our Ming Dynasty by force? How can we allow others to sleep on the bed! We must recover the lost territory in this battle! If we cannot even protect the Ming Dynasty, it will be a loss of power and a disgrace to our ancestors.  The emperor is not tolerated by the Ming Dynasty! "I will still fight this battle personally, and let the navy of the Ming Dynasty tell these Westerners when the naval battle comes.  A powerful country: The Ming Dynasty will fight and win! The humiliation of today's siege will be repaid a hundred times! " Now is not the time to listen to ministers playing tricks on themselves. Since everyone likes to play with righteousness, of course you can play it.  No matter whether you are a hawk or a dove, the enemy has already arrived at your doorstep, and they are still arguing here without mercy!  The battle is already inevitable. Others have blocked the door of the house and started scolding me. It is obviously impossible to welcome him with a smile.  Facing all the old foxes in the court.  Zhu Youxiao still has to think hard.  But when it comes to foreign invasion, there is nothing to say, just deal with it ruthlessly.  Today, the coalition forces can block Tianjin, and the mountains will remain green and the water will always flow.  Will report it tomorrow!  It feels uncomfortable to be blocked by others.  No one wants to be bullied.  No matter he is a powerful person who dominates the world, or a weakling who eats snot and moans, he always wants to retaliate when he is bullied.  The strong men in heaven and earth shouted out, 'Whoever offends me is a big man.  Even though he is far away, he will be killed!  ¡¯ And the weak ones couldn¡¯t help but straighten their backs in the end: Someone is dead!  I am just a turtle, I have to turn over this time!  Why are the coalition forces in collaboration with the Catholic Church so arrogant that they, as a Confucian, come to the door of the giant Ming Dynasty to show off their power and arrogance?  Without him, it¡¯s just a strong ship and a sharp cannon.  But this time their calculation was wrong, very wrong.  Ming's ships are stronger than theirs, and their cannons are more powerful than theirs!  When the ministers saw that there was no room left, the emperor was determined to start a war. Of course they understood the emperor's temperament and character, so they decided to fight in person!  Seeing a personal conquest again, this is much more serious than an ordinary secondary war.  Some ministers wanted to persuade, but the words they persuaded were only unsatisfactory words. But how could those words retain the emperor's heart to go on a personal expedition?  Think before you act, there are not only enemies on the sea, but also various natural disasters, a country cannot be left without a master for a day, a gentleman does not build dangerous walls,,,,,, but of course these have no effect.  "My courtiers, the ocean is quite vast, so big that you can't imagine it. In your eyes, this territory must be fought for. Who? Because they can bring huge profits, and they can grow food, vegetables, livestock, and build houses.  Wait, there may be mines underground that can be dug out, so land is the foundation, so whether it is opening up territory or regaining lost land, it refers to land. " "But it has no meaning for the sea water.  It is useless in your eyes, but I would like to say that this is a big mistake, and anyone who holds this view is totally wrong!¡± ¡°I am here to tell you that territory means more than just territory.  , and it also includes territorial waters." Zhu Youxiao said seriously, almost not mentioning the airspace.  Becoming a maritime power cannot be achieved by the emperor's decision. It requires the movement of interests.  Just like in Mongolia and Liaodong, many people are jealous now, but now the only ones who can take advantage of it and get on the bus are the Eighteen Banks and the Imperial Merchant Group in the capital.  How many courtiers and nobles are now thinking about squeezing onto this bus, but Zhu Youxiao will not follow.  The whole Ming Dynasty was greedy for the emperor¡¯s golden finger, and there were too many people who wanted to take a bite of it.  But Zhu Youxiao was helpless if he didn't open the door. Liaodong and Mongolia couldn't support many people. Whether it was given to the common people or to the powerful,?It's just a little more money for the rich.  It is right to make money, and it is understandable that a gentleman loves money. Zhu Youxiao just wants to use this intention to seduce the jealous people in the country with the interests of the sea.  Both Britain and the Netherlands established the East India Company, which was quite irritating to Zhu Youxiao's temper, and he wanted to imitate them.  Building a maritime power cannot be achieved with just a slogan, nor can Zhu Youxiao alone. It needs to mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole people.  ??There is nothing but royal land in the world. The role of this land is self-evident, and the meaning of territory is self-evident, but what is the use of this sea water?  The ministers all looked at the emperor like a madman, and all expressed their incomprehension.  What use does this sea water have? Is it for eating or drinking?  "Your Majesty, this sea water is different from lake water and river water. Since ancient times, there have been constant disputes over water sources for river water and lake water. That's because lake water or river water can be used for drinking and irrigation. But sea water has harmful effects on people.  What's the point?" Facing the emperor's provocation again, someone stood up and said.  "Haha, dear, what is the use of sea water? In your opinion, this water is useless except for drinking and irrigation. I am quite disappointed. Who didn't know that this sea water is the mother of all things? Let's not talk about these things.  , Now I will talk to you about the functions of sea water. " "The role of the sea in military and transportation is self-evident. All of you are knowledgeable officials, so I won't say more about its economic role.  This is the principle of relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on water to drink water. Just as land can be planted, grasslands can be grazed, and lakes can be fished, there is inexhaustible wealth in the sea water. As long as there is sea water, there will be endless wealth in it.  Endless fish can be caught, eaten or sold. Just the coast of the Ming Dynasty can solve the livelihood problems of millions or even tens of millions of people. " "If the sea water is not demarcated, wouldn't it mean those Westerners.  Can you go to my coastal fishing grounds and fish at will?" Zhu Youxiao said calmly.  As soon as this statement came out, many people agreed that fishing has always been a traditional profession, but they did not understand the word "fishing ground" very well.  "The emperor's minister also understands that the sea territory is also the territory of our Ming Dynasty! In the book of Qiuji Palace, it is also mentioned that the ocean is several times larger than the land, and the richness of the ocean's products is not much worse than that of the land. Ding  It is indeed the right thing to go to the sea and even expand it for the benefit of future generations. "Xu Guangqi said in his speech, of course Qiuji Palace knows how big the ocean is, and there are several families living on the seaside now.  Students are developing fish nets specifically for the fishing industry!  "What I say is exactly what I mean. The benefits in the sea are endless. It is not just as simple as doing business. Ocean trade is of course huge profits among huge profits. This has attracted countless domestic and foreign businessmen to come to the Ming Dynasty.  This shows that the wealth and prosperity of our Ming Dynasty can greatly promote our Ming Dynasty's economy and make the people rich. This is originally a gratifying thing. " "But the sea is not peaceful, pirates are not stopping, fighting is continuous, and business is also going on.  There are also pirates, people from the West such as the Dutch, Portugal, and Spain, who are causing trouble, and the Japanese pirates are still determined to do so, and the southeastern sea area is even more smoky!  "Happy!" "It is said that if the city is open, the bandits will turn into merchants, and if the city is forbidden, the merchants will turn into bandits." If I want to control the sea this time, I will not ban it. That would be self-defeating and harming the country and the people.  All are harmful. Without rules, there is no circle. The rules on the ocean have long been cast aside because the sky is high and the emperor is far away. When two pairs meet, the stronger is respected. Killing and stealing are common, and collecting protection fees has become a common practice. What a matter.  How ridiculous I am!" "It is imperative to rectify the sea area! Our rectification will start with the Catholic coalition! "Zhu You!  The captain took the words and said, the current East China Sea and the South China Sea are just you singing and I will appear on the stage. Today the surname of this sea area will be Li, tomorrow it will be surnamed Zheng, and the day after tomorrow there will be Japanese pirates and Dutch red-haired fans. How can such sea routes be calm?  Come down?  It is obviously a serious problem for the development of the country.  With your buttocks, you can imagine that a group of robbers are beating you to death in front of your home all day long. If your family is easy and your quality of life is excellent, then you are in trouble.  Emperors and imperial courts of all dynasties wanted to control the sea, but the problems faced by the sea were too big. The sea was so vast, where to find pirates?  A bad outcome is that the entire army is annihilated.  " Moreover, the relationship between pirates and the government, navy, merchants, etc. on the shore is extraordinary. Waiting for the naval army to go, no matter where they can find the pirates' traces, it will be in vain to exhaust themselves to death.  Now a great opportunity is before us. The biggest maritime danger - the Dutch ghost is coming. How can Zhu Youxiao let it go?  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
