Seeing Deng Jian's ugly face, Ye Chunqiu became a little soft-hearted, so he explained patiently: "This is actually saving people, not killing people."

Deng Jian frowned and said, "What are you saying? Where is this to save people? Killing people means killing people."

Ye Chunqiu said: "I'll ask you why Japanese pirates are rampant in the southeast? Where did the Japanese pirates' stolen goods go?"

Deng Jian, who was originally a strong and obsessed person, was stunned for a moment after hearing Ye Chunqiu's words.

At this time, Ye Chunqiu continued: "Do you think that the Japanese pirates rampage in the southeast, plundering so many people, and robbing so much wealth, just putting them on that deserted island? The wealth they plundered still flows into this place after all, but I ask you again, why can these Japanese pirates blatantly sell stolen goods here, and even peddling the women who were plundered here?"

Faced with Ye Chunqiu's series of problems, Deng Jian was speechless for a while.

Ye Chunqiu said, "The Japanese pirates are rampant, and the private businessmen in the Ming Dynasty have their reasons. How many people in Japan are their accomplices? If you want to solve this problem once and for all and truly ban the Japanese pirates, not only will the Ming Dynasty crack down on the Japanese pirates, but the Japanese problem must also be solved once and for all. You said that you should implement benevolence and righteousness, so what is benevolence and righteousness? You are benevolence and righteousness today, and tomorrow will be atrocities against the military and civilians in the Southeast. The saint also said: "How to repay kindness? Repay evil with straightness and repay kindness with kindness.' If others bully you, you have to endure it, and you will swallow your teeth even if you are broken. Others will bully you.

Instead, we should be better for him. We should use your love to influence him and use your heart to move him. Haha... Can this really be exchanged for benevolence and righteousness? No, this is just accomplice for tigers and will only encourage the ambition of those who bully you. They just slap you in the face today. If you don’t give them a pleasure, they can cheat your wife and daughter tomorrow. If you still swallow your anger, he will think that you are weak and can bully you. Then he will step on you in the mud and treat you as a pig or dog. If you want to truly be friendly with each other, you must first let them know respect. Only when they have respect and awe, your virtue can be implemented."

Speaking of this, Ye Chunqiu paused, looked at Deng Jian with a complicated face, and then said, "Today, I want them to fear us. Japan will solve it sooner or later. It is better to solve it now than to leave it to future generations. You said I am killing people, I am killing people, but you forgot that if I just hit them gently, they will only think that they have lost luck and they will want to revenge. Then if we want to subdue him, we must fight with them ten times and twenty times. This is too terrible.

I was upset, and it only increased the murder and the waste of money. If Lord Deng was really kind and could not bear to suffer the consequences of this Japanese creature, then I should support me to beat them up at one time, let them hurt them into the bones, and make them scared when they heard the navy of our Zhenguo Mansion, and they would be frightened from the bottom of their hearts, making their descendants of the Japanese, and their souls scattered when they heard the name of Zhenguo Mansion. Only in this way can the two countries continue to get along well for generations and no more battles."

"If you make him hurt, he will develop hatred for you, and if you make him hurt, he will remember the lesson."

"What's more," Ye Chunqiu paused and said, "What's more, this time, the fleet must not return empty ships. For the past century, we should always give generous compensation. If we don't hurt them, how could they obediently offer gold and silver?"

"What, do you still want to grab it?" Deng Jian listened seriously just now. When he heard Ye Chunqiu's words, he finally found his voice and felt that his outlook on life had completely overturned.

However, Qian Qian's eyes lit up, and a trace of greed flashed through his eyes.

Ye Chunqiu had no expression on his face. He only knew that he was doing the right thing, standing like a rock on the side of the boat. He watched the rain-like artillery fire falling in every corner of the waves, and watched the raging fire begin to sweep every corner of the city, Ye Chunqiu did not respond to Deng Jian.

He must go back with a lot of wealth, and this wealth must be touching.

This is not his cruelty or greed. In terms of it, it may not be a revenge on the Japanese pirates. He only knows that he must do this.

Why did Zheng He finally stop when he voyage to the West?

It is indeed quite expensive. Although it is supported by the national strength during the Yongle period, the expenses are unavoidable.

But what about the profit? Although I did bring back some of the exchanged goods, most of them were rare treasures. Such things may not be sold except for collection.

So to some extent, it spent the money of the treasury, but enriched the inner treasury of the Forbidden City.

This is the key to the problem. Thinking back to the beginning, Liu Daxia said that he had burned all navigation information and locked up the Ming Dynasty's maritime policy. Not only was he not punished, he gained the reputation of loving the people as much as his son. What is this? I believe this is inseparable from the concept at that time.

Everyone thinks that this is a waste of money and a struggle. This concept has been deeply rooted. Navigation has become synonymous with less than gains, even political incorrectness, and even a crime of being criticized. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that no one gets benefits from it.

In contrast, Spain and Portugal did their best to sail every place, no matter how despicable and shameless means they used or even sensational evil deeds, and plundered countless gold and silver to return to the Iberian Peninsula, but soon made sailing popular throughout the Europa continent. The sailors who returned from the ocean almost became synonymous with tall, rich and handsome men. The captain of the ship was treated like a hero. The royal family regarded sailing as a great cause. The nobles rushed to the sailing, and the ragged people at the bottom regarded this as a ladder to the upper level.

So anyone who is related to the sea will become the objects of honor for the royal family. Even though the vulgar captains and vulgar sailors encountered many obstacles, they still raised their sails in the direction of heaven without fear, sailing, going to the east, the west, the south, and anywhere, because there are treasures that dream of waiting for them everywhere.

The Ming Dynasty's business at a loss was simply unable to cultivate a stable interest group inside and outside the government and the country to firmly support the policy of navigation and trade. In contrast, the success of Portugal and Spaniards caused a huge sailing boom in the entire Europa continent. Whether it was Britain, France, the Netherlands, or the Nordic, they saw the success of the Spaniards and the Portuguese, and they devoted themselves to this great cause without hesitation.
