Chapter 192 Liu Mingjing's Dream
Liu Mingjing's sudden words surprised Liu Mingqi.
"What emperor?" he said subconsciously, "Don't joke! I won't be the emperor!"
"Hey, we two brothers, are there anything else to hide?" Liu Mingjing grabbed him and shook, "Grandma Huang has told me that now the ministers have recommended three candidates, the first is Uncle Su, the second is me, and the third is you. You are also one of the candidates!"
"So what?" Liu Mingqi asked back: "You didn't listen to me, don't I take it? Whoever wants to take it for this thing!"
“No, no…”
Liu Mingjing said: "I thought so at the beginning, but in fact it's not! I only realized after hearing your words that this emperor is really the only one who can avoid such a tragedy from happening again! Our Dakang will be better!!"
"Brother Su is the same as you." Liu Mingqi said quickly: "I will give you advice and you will be responsible for the implementation!"
"What kind of person am I? Don't you know yet?" Liu Mingjing let him go and spread his hands out, "I only like to fight and conquer those who bully us! If you give me the emperor, I might be a fool! Will this meet your expectations?"
"Then let's be the uncle of Wang Su!"
Liu Mingqi has a firm decisive way.
"Not even if Wang Bo Su," Liu Mingjing shook his head, "He is right, he is a good person, and he must be a good emperor, but he will not be willing to do it according to your plan. Because you are reducing the power of his descendants, how many parents and grandchildren are willing to see the emperor getting worse and worse? Only you have such a mind and such courage!"
"You think it's impossible if he didn't do it? This concept is unsatisfactory!" Liu Mingqi shook her head and said.
"Okay, let's not talk about how he will be in the future, just talk about the two sons of Wang Bo Su." Liu Mingjing changed his approach again, "My Dakang has always taken priority to inherit the throne with his legitimate son and grandson as the priority. Then Brother Mingxi will be very likely to be the emperor in the future! He likes to talk about scriptures and Taoisms the most, and he likes monks the most!
After such a person succeeded to the throne, can you imagine what he would do? It must be the Daxing Buddhist temples that made Buddhism develop wildly! I remember that there were such emperors in previous dynasties. They consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, and villains were in power, causing turmoil in the whole world. This dynasty perished in just a few generations.
Even if Brother Mingxi succeeds to the throne, he becomes Mingyu. But Mingyu, you know more than me. This guy is just a stubborn boy. If he wants to become the emperor, he will definitely be the powerful minister, but he doesn't know it! Are you hoping to see such an emperor?"
Listening to Liu Mingjing's analysis, the young man was very surprised: "Yes! Who told you this? The analysis was so accurate and imaginative!"
Liu Mingjing gestured at him with a middle finger and said, "Do you still have to think too much about this? It's just there! And I'm not stupid, okay? I'm Xiao Zhangliang in the capital!"
"Come on, all your intelligence and talents are put on women..." Liu Mingqi mocked: "A little prodigal son in the flowers, a real man in the brothel... This is your specialty."
"Hahaha……"
Liu Mingjing smiled awkwardly.
Liu Mingqi also laughed.
The little dispute and confrontation that just now disappeared in an instant.
In fact, there is no substantial conflict between the two brothers.
Liu Mingqi believes that if Liu Mingjing takes office, he will definitely not be able to suppress him, but will give him more power.
It's a coincidence.
Liu Mingjing also thought so.
"Mingqi, you should be the emperor!"
After laughing, Liu Mingjing said sincerely: "I am not as good as you, and Wang Bo Su is not as good as you. Look at your inventions, the sweet potatoes you discover, the wooden grenades you make, your understanding of the great voyage, your plans for the Indochina Peninsula... Which one is not a long-term future? Which one is not for the sake of Dakang and my China for thousands of generations?
Only when you get to power can your plans develop more deeply. As long as there are fifty years, no matter how powerful the Westerners are, they will not do anything to us! If you give it to Wang Bo Su, he will not only not be able to explore, but also be very conservative. This is not a blessing for our great prosperity!”
His last point of view reminded Liu Mingqi.
King Su was rigorous by nature and did not like to beat around the bush, and he firmly upholds the laws and regulations of the royal family.
This is an excellent executor, but if you say he is a pioneer, it will definitely not be considered a matter of being.
On the contrary, the more serious a person is, the more conservative he is in his personality.
If he had taken office, the Great Voyage would probably not have left the Malacca Strait, and there would be development to the southwest. At most, he would have stopped after the strategy of Nanzhao.
This is very different from Liu Mingqi's plan.
It is also the best opportunity to miss the lead in this world.
You should know that Westerners are now working hard to make themselves progress and to surpass the ancient civilization of the East.
If we do not make progress, it is equivalent to retreating.
With the painful lessons learned from the previous life since 1840, how dare Liu Mingqi sit and wait for death?
This is a crime against the entire 150 million Dakang people.
It was even more disappointing to the Lord God who sent him to this world.
So when I think about it this way, Liu Mingqi nodded, "Then come on!"
"Bah!"
Liu Mingjing was furious, "You little brat, dare you push me into the fire pit!? Do you want my descendants to kill each other? You can dodge them, right?"
Of course, the boy couldn't admit it. He shook his head and said, "How could I be such a person? Mingjing, it's good to be an emperor! There are so many benefits, if you don't enjoy it, who can go?"
"Pooh!"
Liu Mingjing simply stopped talking nonsense to him, "If you dare to let me be the emperor, I will also learn from what Uncle Su Wang might have done, stopping the voyage, and then I will lead my troops to attack Shiwei, Xiqiang, Uighurs and Tubo... I like to fight on land, and you don't know! If you delay the important matter at that time, don't blame me!"
Liu Mingqi was so amused and crying, "I'm too lazy to tell you!"
"Then stop talking." Liu Mingjing suddenly clasped his fists and said, "You come and be the emperor... But I didn't ask for it! You want to do me a favor."
"Let's go find Uncle Su!" Liu Mingqi ignored him at all.
Liu Mingjing said to himself: "You have to let me lead my army to fight. In addition to the land areas I want to attack, I also want to fight Kushan!"
"Um!?"
Liu Mingqi was really surprised now, "Why did you suddenly think of this place?"
"Didn't you say that? Although Kushan is only one-third of ours, it can feed one billion people? Then their iron ore is more than us, better than us?" Liu Mingjing said: "You said there are many small countries there, and there are restless situations everywhere. Such a large territory and such a complex situation are the most suitable for me to conquer! After defeating this Kushan, I can almost come back to enjoy my old age, walk around with you, and take a look at my new territory and world!"
"You're awesome!"
Liu Mingqi admired him this time sincerely.
He just talked about Kushan a little before and did not mention it too much.
Because Kushan is still too far from Dakang, it is necessary to defeat the entire Indochina Peninsula before Myanmar can kill all the way.
Or use the navy to reach Sri Lanka directly, build the base first, and then start the strategy from the southernmost end of Kushan. Only by taking such a two-pronged approach can such a huge piece of territory be defeated.
Of course, invaders have always occupied Kushan, basically relying on the Khyber Pass at the border between their northwest and Afu Khan. It is flat here. If you attack from north to south, the Kushan River Basin will soon be destroyed.
But it was very difficult for the Dakang army to invade from the Khyber Pass.
Needless to say, the various nomadic peoples in the middle are also huge obstacles, and there is no way to guarantee the logistics, etc.
After the Indochina Peninsula was guided, we headed from both water and land, which was more convenient.
Liu Mingqi's mainland ambition is actually just to reach the Indochina Peninsula.
As long as the Indochina Peninsula can ensure the food of the entire empire and prevent food crisis from happening, then Dakang will have a basic foundation.
Then, actively sailing and colonizing will come naturally.
Even Kushan iron ore doesn't have to care too much.
Liu Mingqi remembers the location of the super high-quality iron ore in Kangaroo Country clearly!
As long as you use the near Malacca Strait as a base and directly attack the Kangaroo Kingdom, thousands of open-pit iron ore can be continuously transported back to Dakang, becoming a powerful tool for Dakang to dominate the world.
Therefore, what Liu Mingqi cares most about is the voyage.
The great voyage is more about occupation and plunder rather than management. In this way, in a short period of decades, it will benefit the most, without any backlash.
But you can't say that Liu Mingjing is wrong in doing this.
On the contrary, if Kushan can be held in his hands, it will only benefit Dakang and not harm.
If you say that Kushan has at least tens of millions of people, it will be troublesome to manage it...
hehe!
You're thinking too much.
The best ruler in this world is the third brother!
Haven't you seen that until today, the third brother is proud of being ruled by Great Britain?
They are simply the best farmers, the best fishermen, the best absenteeism...
After the battle continued, the Great Wall was built on the Khyber Pass, the place was temporarily sealed off, and then it actively developed into another base for raw materials and agricultural and sideline products in Dakang. This is completely possible.
Even Kushan, which has many excellent seaports, can become a solid base for the Dakang Navy, specifically assisting the Dakang Navy in critical attacks on the Western world!
