Chapter 985 Pros and cons intersect
Although Zhu Yicheng knew the general trend of the world, many things have been beyond recognition in this era for many years, especially the revival of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty was about to face the moment of demise, everything changed differently.
As for the international side, Zhu Yicheng only knows a rough idea and doesn't understand many situations and details at all. And some of the situations about the Rakshasa Kingdom introduced by Deng Bing now are the first time Zhu Yicheng heard about it, including the situation of going to war with Sweden.
Zhu Yicheng only knew that the war was ultimately won by Tsar Peter, but he didn't know that the war had actually fought for several years from its outbreak to its final end. Both sides fought from land to sea, including Turkey, and it has not been really finished yet.
"It seems that it takes time to understand the international situation well." Zhu Yicheng thought secretly that if this continues, relying on his meager memory, he might make a big mistake that day. As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, all his decisions will affect the future of the entire Ming Dynasty. Once the decision is wrong, it will bring serious consequences to the Ming Dynasty.
Deng Bing finished talking about the current situation of the Rakshasa Kingdom and said: "Since the Emperor's revival, our Ming Dynasty has become increasingly prosperous, especially when the battle with Portugal in the South China Sea was even more powerful, which has even brought about the prestige of our Ming Navy. Now, let's not mention the Central Plains for the time being, the Qing Dynasty is already breathing, and it is only time to completely fail. After the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, our Ming Dynasty territory will be far superior to the Han and Tang Dynasties, and this is all the contribution of the Emperor."
"As for overseas, Xinming, Luzon, Johor and other places, the Ming army was unstoppable, and its momentum can be imagined. Especially in Xinming, our Ming army joined forces against the European hegemony France and Spain, not only blocked the opponent's offensive, but even forced the opponent to seek peace, so as to stabilize the entire territory of Xinming. As for Luzon, let alone Spain has been in Luzon for a hundred years, but was defeated by our navy and the mainland division in one fell swoop, thus occupying the land of Luzon. This shows that our Ming Dynasty is famous far and wide and has reached overseas. Who doesn't know the Ming Dynasty?"
Speaking of this, Deng Bing smiled and said confidently: "This time, the Rakshasa Kingdom came to this letter in the name of the Governor of the East, which was nothing more than seeing that the Ming Dynasty was strong and the military was strong. If my Ming Dynasty had few soldiers and weak countries, how could I easily give up cooperation with the Qing Dynasty with the insatiable character of the Rakshasa people? Instead, I would show my goodwill to me? In this way, the Rakshasa people had some sincerity in this way. If they had a goodwill with the Ming Dynasty, they would have a greater benefit than joining forces to fight with the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, right?"
"According to your opinion, the Rakshasa people do want to establish cooperation with the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Yicheng asked with a raised eyebrows.
"That's right!" Deng Bing nodded and said, "I have analyzed the character of the Rakshasa people. The Rakshasa people are extremely greedy and attacked, but they also admire the strong. The Tsar Peter is an outstanding monarch who has not been out of the Rakshasa Kingdom for a century. No matter its ability or means, it is countable even among the emperors in the world. Now our Ming Dynasty is strong and the world knows that although the Rakshasa Kingdom is located in a remote place, it is not deaf, so naturally understands this situation. Moreover, the Rakshasa Kingdom is fighting against its mortal enemy Sweden and Turkey in Europe, and cannot withdraw its strength to reinforce the East. Now the Qing Dynasty has completely withdrawn from the Great Wall. Once the Qing Dynasty is destroyed by our Ming Dynasty, the Rakshasa Kingdom will face a situation that directly borders our Ming Dynasty."
"Under this situation, once the Ming Dynasty pursues the old story of Rakshasa helping the Qing Dynasty to fight with me, the Rakshasa people will have to face the possibility of formal war with me, the Rakshasa people will not understand this principle. Therefore, taking advantage of the present, make friends with me, Ming Dynasty in advance and actively propose cooperation, this is the best choice."
"What you said makes sense. This is what you said just now, isn't it a bad thing, right?" Zhu Yicheng asked.
"Go back to the emperor, that's it." Deng Bing nodded and admitted, but at the same time said: "But I think that the Rakshasa people have another meaning to this way, that is, the Rakshasa people have concluded that the Qing Dynasty has not been long. Now that we have a good relationship with our Ming Dynasty, we can give up all our past grudges, and secondly, we can also find an opportunity to attack the Qing Dynasty and Mongolian tribes. You must know that the Rakshasa people have occupied half of the previous Mobei area, and in recent years, they may have controlled the occupied territory. Once we can join forces with our Ming Dynasty and annex it, it will be a good thing for the Rakshasa Kingdom. In this case, please investigate it clearly!"
Zhu Yicheng exclaimed in his heart. Deng Bing could say such words in such a short time and make such a judgment, and did not use the wrong person.
Zhu Yicheng knew the most about the Rakshasa people. However, the hairy bears in this era are more aggressive than the hairy bears in later generations. If you think the other person is a cute pug who will wag your tail because of the hairy bear's show of kindness, then you are very wrong.
No matter how cute the bear with lowered eyebrows and pleasing eyes is, it is also a bear that can eat people. With the usual style of the Rakshasa people, they will never do anything that is unprofitable, and everything they do has its purpose and purpose.
Deng Bing said nothing. If Da Ming had not been extremely powerful now, both on land and on the ocean, Da Ming had shown strong military strength, which made the Rakshasa people frightened, how could the Rakshasa people send such a thing in a daze?
Zhu Yicheng felt a little hesitant about the Rakshasa people's show of kindness this time. He was not ready to accept the Rakshasa people's advice, but he did not consider the future.
Regardless of whether Zhu Yicheng would open up a large-scale maritime trade, leading the Ming Dynasty to the last bus in the late era of the Great Discovery, and thus entering the era of world struggle. Even if he was closed to the country like the Qing Dynasty in history, the general trend of the world will still not be shifted by human will, and continue to move in the direction it should.
If you don’t take the initiative to meet, you will face the consequences of the other party coming to the door. Isn’t this the case in the Qing Dynasty in history? These short-sighted guys thought that the world was the world that was thousands of years ago, but they didn’t know that this era had changed long ago.
When the whole world changes drastically, the days that come from living a small life are gone forever in the closed door. Facing the wave of dividing the whole world, no one can escape. If you don’t move forward, you will only be put on the table.
Therefore, formal interactions with the Rakshasa Kingdom are inevitable, and Zhu Yicheng will not do anything to deceive himself. Since this is the case, establishing interactions earlier is a good thing. The Rakshasa people probably saw this clearly and took the initiative to send people to contact him.
However, Zhu Yicheng also concluded that the Rakshasa people would inevitably take advantage of the opportunity of fighting between the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty to obtain benefits. Zhu Yicheng also could not tolerate this. Although these territory is not in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, it has long become the Ming land in Zhu Yicheng's heart, so Zhu Yicheng did not think about how to face this problem in the future and fell into deep thought for a while.
