Chapter 26 Corner

"Room, rumble, rumble." The waves were very big, and a loud thunder sound was made between the ups and downs, and Liu Bowen's body and heart also rose and fell with the waves.

Rebuilding a peaceful and prosperous era was already the highest goal he could think of before. If it was achieved as he wished, even if the process was bloody, even if the new dynasty was established was a little bit contemptuous to the literati and officials, later generations mentioned Zhu Chongjiu and Liu Bowen, they were still a great ruler and a famous founding minister. His name in history was comparable to that of Zhuge Liang and Wang Meng.

However, what he never expected was that Zhu Chongjiu's ambition was so lofty, so high that he was more than willing to be a founding hero.

Zhu Chongjiu wanted to establish a dynasty that was completely different from the past. Zhu Chongjiu wanted to end the repeated cycle of rebellion and chaos in Chinese history forever. No wonder he just asked unwillingly, after the success of such a Northern Expedition, he was different from the founding emperor of the Mongol Yuan. No wonder he regarded "Qin Emperor and Han Wu" and "Tang Emperor and Song Ancestor" as nothing in the poems he filled in after drunkenness.

By heart, Liu Bowen has always believed that assisting a lord with great ambitions is a blessing in his life. His lofty ambitions mean that the General Administration will not be self-confidenced, which means that Zhu Chongjiu will not be like Xu Shouhui, Zhang Shicheng and others, and he will be busy choosing concubines, building palaces, and beating monkeys. At the same time, it also means that those who are ministers will have more serious things to do, and that the talents of civil and military personnel will have a broader space to play.

But if the ambition is too great, or if it is inconsistent with its strength, it will be reversed. At that time, King Fu Jian of Qin had the ambition to unify the world, but his desire to send troops was repeatedly blocked by Prime Minister Wang Meng. As a result, when Prime Minister Wang Meng died, Fu Jian's ambition completely lost its bond, rectified the army, and rushed south. He thought he could be powerful, but unexpectedly, he was beaten by the Eastern Jin Dynasty on the banks of Feishui River, and his armor was thrown away, and his plants and trees were all soldiers. In the blink of an eye, he died and destroyed the country.

In Liu Bowen's opinion, Zhu Chongjiu is another Fu Jian today. It is true that the combat power of the Huai'an Army is the best in the world, but before the Feishui Battle, Fu Jian's troops were as powerful as the four sides. It is true that the financial resources and strength of the Huaiyang General Office were all laughing at all. But before the Feishui Battle, which country in the world could compete with Fu Qin? Fu Jian died because of his ambitiousness. If you, Zhu Chongjiu, went against the will of heaven, wouldn't you end up with the same consequences, and the suggestion and generals under your command were all ruined.

"It's too simple to be a founding king and a founding prime minister. Bowen, even if you haven't met Zhu, or if you don't have you under Zhu, with Huaiyang's current strength and development trend, you will sooner or later dominate the world." Just as Liu Bowen was thinking about whether to be a Wang Meng and spoke out for advice, Zhu Chongjiu's voice came again from the window, with a hint of heavyness.

"Zhu is unwilling to accept this, and Zhu doesn't believe it. You, Liu Bowen, are willing to build a country that our generation has successively established one after another. In just two or three hundred years, it fell into the hands of another group of barbarians." While saying that, he gently patted the window edge with his hand, as if he wanted to break the railing.

This is a truth, because Zhu Chongjiu knew that even without himself, Liu Bowen assisted Zhu Yuanzhang, and still established the Ming Dynasty. In the early days of his founding, he defeated the Mongols who had already returned to the Great Wall and moved the capital repeatedly. When he was in trouble, he still beat the Goryeo who tried to get involved in the Central Plains to his head and blood, which made the legendary largest country in the universe finally had to cede land and submit to the surrender, and escaped the disaster of extermination. (Note 1)

But Zhu Chongjiu also knew that after that generation paid countless lives and expelled the Tartars, after only more than 270 years, China was once again trapped in the hands of alien races. This time, the destruction was more severe than ever before. Countless classics turned into ashes, countless cities turned into mounds, and countless people who refused to speak lies with their eyes open and died in endless prisons. In just a few decades, the confidence, tolerance, self-improvement, and studious spirit of the Chinese were all barbaric castration by the conquerors. All that was left was selfish, narrow-minded, paranoid, servile and self-confidence.

That despair was so long that the descendants of the Chinese people forgot what their ancestors looked like. It was not until hundreds of years later that Eastern and Western cultures began to exchange large-scale exchanges. Later generations found from the words left by Western missionaries that they discovered that the Ming Dynasty recorded by Westerners at that time was completely different from the Ming Dynasty recorded in "History of Ming Dynasty". (Note 2)

Chongjiu is not Chongjiu, what Zhu Chongba can do. Zhu Chongjiu now feels that he does not need to "repeat" once. He must do better than Zhu Chongba on another branch of time and space to make this trip worthwhile. Otherwise, no matter what the name of the country he established is, it is another Ming Dynasty, but another reincarnation. If it is just for this, why didn't he kill Zhu Chongba when he first met in Huai'an? At least, that would allow him to lose a strong competitor later, let his brothers encounter less opponents, and even heal less innocent blood.

"Boom, rumbling, rumbling." The sound of waves kept breaking through the window, and the chilly cold wind blew Liu Bowen's hair on his temples.

His face was blown very white by the sea breeze, and the back of his hands and wrists were as pale as his face. The cold air from the sky seemed to have penetrated his clothes, his muscles and bones, and penetrated his internal organs, making him tremble uncontrollably, as trembling as winter reeds.

He is not a time traveler, and he does not understand why Zhu Chongjiu had to do what his predecessors did to govern the chaos and reincarnation. It is indeed something that makes people feel unwilling to be remembrance. But since ancient times, there has been no immortal court. Just as there is spring and autumn in the four seasons, when the destiny is there, heroes and heroes ride on the wind and rise up the sky. If the destiny is gone, even if Han Zhaolie and Zhuge Liang fight for their lives and the other work hard, they will eventually end up with "A Dou enters Jin and is happy to miss Shu".

However, Liu Bowen did not know how to refuse Zhu Chongjiu's proposal. The other party had the kindness of knowing and his life and achievements had long been firmly tied to the other party. The other party treated him with the courtesy of a national scholar, and he had to repay him with the conduct of a national scholar, and just assisting the other party to unify the world. Such a repayment was far from enough, because the other party said the truth just now. With Huaiyang's current strength and development trend, even if Liu Bowen was not as good as a military advisor, as long as he was not stupid enough, the world would have the surname Zhu sooner or later.

"Lord, manpower sometimes ends." After a long silence, Liu Bowen bowed slightly to his body, which was blown by the cold wind, and reminded him in an extremely low voice.

"Are you going to tell me that the way of heaven can be stopped?" Zhu Chongjiu quickly turned around from the window and interrupted with a smile, "The way of heaven does not exist at all, or has changed a long time ago. The five virtues reincarnation were originally just a silly voice. Bowen, you have been on the observatory platform. You know what the starry sky will become under the thirty-two-fold astronomical telescope. You know, we may not be able to do what the ancients did not do. After all, we can see further and more real than the ancients."

"Lord, lord, this heaven, this heaven is not that heaven. Although our Huai and Huai'an army are brave, they cannot be enemies of the whole world." Liu Bowen shivered again, his voice sounded very powerless.

The way of heaven has changed long ago, or the way of heaven that the ancients once believed was not the real way of heaven at all. From the moment they climbed the observatory, Liu Bowen began to deeply doubt the Eight Trigrams of the Book of Changes, Yin and Yang and Five Elements, and the Five Virtues that he had firmly believed in, but in order not to cause more trouble for Huaiyang and himself, he did not publicly state it.

At this moment, when Zhu Chongjiu questioned the way of heaven, Liu Bowen felt a sense of Boya Ziqi. However, thinking about the difficulty of changing customs and customs, thinking about the consequences of Shang Yang, Chao Cuo and others since ancient times, he had to suppress the impulse in his heart and force himself to tell Zhu Chongjiu that he must do what he can with the responsibility of a military advisor.

However, his painstaking efforts were directly ignored by Zhu Chongjiu, and he smiled. The butcher-born general shook his head and said, "It is an enemy of the scholar-officials who are unwilling to lose their privileges in the world. It is not a gentry in the world, nor a people in the world. Bowen, I know you have a kind heart, but I hope you can try it with me. Even if it cannot be done, at most we will retreat to Huaiyang, rest for a few years, and then start over according to your original idea. At most, it is to establish a dynasty like the Tang and Song dynasties. You said that at least it will be a peaceful era."

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his right hand and slowly reached towards Liu Bowen, waiting for the other party's response.

"Well, you can't do it all over again." Liu Bowen could not refuse the expectations in Zhu Chongjiu's eyes, and gritted his bullet and stretched out his right hand to fight the other party in the air.

"That's right." Zhu Chongjiu gently fought Liu Bowen twice. In an instant, the young face was filled with sunshine. "This is what I know about the post-Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen, not a timid old man."

"The lord joked with Weichen again." Liu Bowen's face turned slightly red by Zhu Chongjiu's strange words suddenly appeared, and he shook his head with a smirk, "How can I compare with Prime Minister Zhuge with this little skill? Forget it, let's not talk about this."

Knowing that he became serious, Zhu Chongjiu must have quoted a lot. Liu Bowen decisively gave up the debate about which one is more capable, Zhuge Liang, and shook his head and quickly changed the topic, "But, since the lord is easy to make a difficult decision, I am afraid that you can't expect a battle to decide the world. The lord must take it step by step and slowly to get a better chance of winning."

"No hurry, Zhu didn't expect to go there." Zhu Chongjiu nodded and walked towards the map on the ground with a smile, "Bowen, come and see, the current situation is like this. The other provinces of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were obviously caught off guard by the fact that Timur and his son were killed by the death of each other. The left prime minister Wang family was behind the Gongchang Wang family, and he managed Shaanxi and Gansu for several generations. Therefore, Zhang Liangbi, Li Timur, Bai Timur and others from Shaanxi and Gansu provinces all expressed their support for Dadu. After hearing the news, King Zaravar of Liang, who was far away in Yunnan, sent a flat position. Zhang Dalima led his troops to block the passage from Sichuan Province to Yunnan. On the other hand, he advised Duhuan Timur and Prince Aiyoushirida to focus on the foundation of his ancestors. In fact, he had the idea of ​​cede land and reliance on his own. The Prime Minister of the Sichuan Province of the Mongolian Yuan who was confronting Liu Futong before answering that King Liang blocked the border and was worried about his own retreat, so he had to bring his troops back. As a result, the troops had just crossed the Yangtze River. Dama, who stayed in Xiangyang, was responsible for the separation of the rear, was killed by Liu Futong. Shanzhou and Jingmen all the routes returned to Bianliang Red Turban in a blink of an eye.

The Huai'an Army has the most complete intelligence system of this era, and the detailed works selected to be sent to various places have also undergone special training. Therefore, even during the southern journey, Zhu Chongjiu was well aware of the latest changes in the situation.

As the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and the chief of staff of the Huai'an Army, Liu Bowen had a copy of the information that Zhu Chongjiu could get. Out of courtesy, he squatted beside the map and accompanied Zhu Chongjiu for a while, then whispered, "There is also the restraint of Arutemur in the north. Although Taibuhua held heavy troops in the Qilu area, the morale of the army was in chaos because of Xuexue's departure. Therefore, the minister thought that Tuhuan Timuer could take out the power to resist our army's northern expedition. If the lord planned to slowly plan it, he might as well find a reason that would be more confusing to the opponent on the surface. The first step was to only target Dadu, and west of Taihang Mountain, and ignore it for the time being, and the pseudo-Crown Prince and Chahan Timuer, Zhang Liangbi, Li Timuer, Bai Timuer and others from Shaanxi and Gansu provinces."

"Good." Zhu Chongjiu slapped his high-high with excitement. After all, it was Liu Bowen. As long as he was willing to take action, he would have a sword to seal the throat. Taihang Mountains were the natural dividing line between Hebei Province and Shanxi Province in later generations. As long as a small number of elite soldiers were sent to block Jingxing, Feihu and other passes, he could isolate the Yuan army in Jining. At that time, even if the pseudo-Prince Ayoushiri Tara repented and wanted to rescue his father, he would not be able to rush to Dadu in time.

"In addition to the main force, the lord can also send a side army to set off from the waterway, take Jiaozhou as the transit, and go to Zhigu. As long as we take all the coastal areas, even if the main force of our army is blocked, the food, grass and supplies required can be guaranteed to be worry-free." Liu Bowen drew a few more fingers on the map and added in a low voice.

Zhu Chongjiu quickly took over the conversation and said with a smile: "I have ordered Zou Xiaoyi and his wife to both.

As long as the aircraft is suitable, you can immediately escort the partial army to the north."

"In this way, it should not be difficult for our army to fight all the way outside the capital." After hearing that Zhu Chongjiu had already made preparations in advance, Liu Bowen's eyes lit up and continued, "It's rare to be able to stabilize the place after the capture. But since the lord is not ready to rule the world with the scholars and officials, there must be enough officials in the new land, otherwise, there will be a large-scale murder just now."

"After I go back, I will next call to order senior students from the Ministry of Education, University, Business School and Baigong Technical School. Anyone who is determined to go north to restore the hometown of China should be recruited into the curtain, and then led by Robben to follow the army." Zhu Chongjiu gritted his teeth and slapped his palm on the deck.

"Bang." The map on the deck jumped, and the mountains, rivers seemed to come alive in an instant, trembling gently under the blowing of the sea breeze.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, wooooooooo, wooooooooo." The sound of a dragon-roaring horn suddenly sounded from the flagship, instantly resounding throughout the sea.

The wind direction has changed, and it is rare to blow from south to north.

The warships bulged their sails and cut through the waves. In the rippling winter day, the entire fleet was like a giant dragon rising from the abyss, with its claws flying.

Note 1: At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Goryeo took the opportunity to expand wildly and tried to seize Liaodong. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent troops to give a head-on attack, defeating first and then winning. In the end, both sides used Tieling, that is, the current Vajra Mountain, and were all included in the Ming Dynasty's territory.

Note 2: The history of the previous dynasty was most distorted by the "History of Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Qing Dynasty. However, according to the records of Western missionaries, the so-called prosperous era of Kanggan was "poverty everywhere, and many people picked up garbage and ate it to survive." Previously, the records of the Ming Dynasty by the Jesus Society were that they loved cleanliness, had good physical fitness, were beautiful in drinking, good at studying, and liked to do business.
