Chapter 371 Zhu Mingxu's thoughts
Zhu Mingxu's staff is the last Tanhua Sima Cuo of the Han Empire. The Han Empire continued the system of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and continued to use the imperial examination system to select talents. This system was directly abolished by the late emperor 30 years ago. The reason why It was abolished, of course, because it is no longer in line with the current status of the Han Empire, and it is to develop some basic and practical subjects, so that the industrial development of the Han Empire can be on the right track.
Although Sima Cuo did not win No. 1 in the exam that year, he was a rare talent in the south. Naturally, he was selected by Zhu Mingxu to become his chief military adviser. It is also a lot of obedience.
"The imperial court has sent envoys to come to see me. It seems that they want our navy to cooperate with their operations, and even make us bow down to the imperial court. This is an extremely absurd thing, but now it seems that it is really true. It is a headache. Even King Anhui and King Song have surrendered, and even that Wu Qingzi seems to be ready to surrender. If so, it will be another problem for us. Now, what do you think we Do you want to cooperate with the imperial court's strategic proposition?"
Zhu Mingxu asked this question at that time, but Sima Cuo just hesitated for a moment, and then responded directly.
"My lord, there are only two choices in front of us now. The first is to bow our heads to the court, and if we bow our heads to the court, then we must give up some power, and we must even prepare to cooperate in the battle." Prepare. And we have no way of knowing where this battle is based, because we can’t be sure where the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Han Empire is in this book.”
After all, Sima Cuo was the last second place in the Han Empire. The education he received before must be to be loyal to the Han Empire, and at the beginning, in the last exam, the content of the assessment was how to save the declining situation of the Han Empire. In this discussion, Sima Cuo's insights are unique and practical, so he was also rated as the first.
Of course, the assessment mainly depends on the comprehensiveness, other content is not convincing, so Sima Cuo is ranked second.
In recent years, some of Sima Cuo's suggestions and propositions to Zhu Mingxu have almost been adopted by Zhu Mingxu. The main reason is that Sima Cuo is good at making judgments from both sides, so that Zhu Mingxu can make a choice. And under this strategy, Sima Cuo can also protect himself wisely and protect his own interests.
"Of course, we have to consider whether the current imperial court should be as weak as it was back then. After all, making Zhang Yuting and Wu Qingzi surrender willingly not only means that the country is strong, but I suspect that His Majesty will also move closer to other empires after his death. However, Your Majesty Now he has resorted to another trick, and even reached a military alliance with the Tsarist Empire. This makes me have to consider that the current His Majesty does not seem to be as simple as we speculated. If this is the case, then we have to reconsider some issues gone."
Seeing that Zhu Mingxu had no desire to speak, Sima Cuo continued to speak.
"Of course, we can also ignore the imperial court's orders and solicitations. Of course, the prince, we must consider the main intention of His Majesty now. Although His Majesty now wants to recover Yingzhou Island, I think His Majesty's main intention is to be in the The six northeastern provinces, and even the Koryo Dynasty now occupied by the Cherry Blossom Empire."
"What's the point of this statement?"
"Now His Majesty wants to unite with the Tsarist Russian Empire, and has plans to send troops to the six northeastern provinces, and even plans to attack Yingzhou Island occupied by the Cherry Blossom Empire. I think it is for a comprehensive counterattack and tear the Cherry Blossom Empire apart. A complete blockade of our Great Han Empire. After all, the main purpose of the Sakura Empire's north-south parallel is to let our Great Han Empire destroy the country."
"If that's the case, we should now cooperate with the court's battle, and even go hand in hand with His Majesty. After all, we must not sit idly by and watch our Han Empire be invaded by the Cherry Blossom Empire, and how many years we will fight internally, it will always be a housework things, and some countries and families hate, we can never forget."
As Zhu Mingxu said, he couldn't help clenching his fists. For him, some hatred is indeed unforgettable. Zhu Mingxu, who thought of this, then opened his mouth to Sima Cuo who was beside him.
"Then according to your current thinking, how should we respond to the court's envoys? I think sometimes we can cooperate with the court, but we still need to clarify our relationship. Moreover, I don't think the current court, really will fight us."
Zhu Mingxu is still a little unpredictable about the situation. He thinks that it is still the warlords fighting in the past, and now they can still be king behind closed doors. Obedience to the court in name does not mean that he has lost.
Therefore, his idea is to seek cooperation on the basis of preserving his own power, and this inquiry made Sima wrong. He has quietly sent people to Longdu to inquire about news recently, because he now finds that The methods used by the emperor of the Han Empire are very clever, even linked together, and today's Holy Majesty is quite popular.
"The prince means that we still will not consider bowing to the court at present? If so, we only need to let the so-called Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Han Empire be the main force, and our warships and troops will serve as auxiliary roles. As for In other words, we can also calmly say that our naval warships are weak."
Sima Cuo's move can be regarded as leaving room for himself. Of course, Zhu Mingxu directly nodded in support, so there is the content of the telegram Han Xiyuan received.
Of course, Sima Cuo still advised Zhu Mingxu, because he thinks he still needs to pay attention to his position now.
"My lord, it is true that the current court still does not have the strength to go south, because I think that the court's current strength should be to regain lost ground with all its strength. Of course, it has been a joke since ancient times. If the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Great Han Empire really If we really want to recover Yingzhou Island, then we have to reconsider some issues. For example, we have to move closer to the imperial court. After all, there are some things we can keep, but we must keep our lives on the basis."
Sima Cuo's words were not clearly stated, but the intention was already very clear.
After all, if it is really as he said, then some issues really need to be reconsidered.
"If it really comes to that time, even if I don't think about it, the battleship will make me realize something. I'm afraid it's just a dream. After all, our current sea area has always been controlled by the Sakura Empire, and the court I don’t think he can still form a fleet, let alone, there is a so-called Third Fleet now.”
Zhu Mingxu shook his head. What he was afraid of was that this time was just a test by the court, to test his position, to test whether he would be there, and when they concentrated their forces to solve the problems in the six northeastern provinces, would he send troops? sneak attack, thereby interfering with their strategy.
"Your Majesty has reached an alliance with the Tsarist Empire this time, and the number of warships of the Tsarist Empire is second to none in the world, and the prince should know that there is a warship that originally belonged to the Tsarist Empire stationed in our barren sea basin. I want to add the French Empire, the English Empire, and even the Cherry Blossom Empire. In order to intensify the conflicts among the warlords, the three major empires also sold the number of warships, so three fleets can be formed."
