Chapter 809 What a bargain.
Chapter 809 What a bargain.
Sang Buzhi and Zhuge Hong also looked at Ye Kun, waiting for an answer.
Because Ye Kun is not young anymore, in a few years, he will be fifty years old.
The life span of ancient people was not long, and many people died before the age of fifty.
Moreover, Ye Kun has to go out to sea to the oil peninsula thousands of miles away, and the risks along the way are unpredictable.
A typhoon, a shipwreck, illness due to acclimatization, or a recurrence of an old illness could all take his life.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. You are afraid that I will die on the way or die overseas, right?"
"May our emperor live long and be blessed with great fortune. However, we must also have plans for unexpected situations." Ma Zhao told the truth.
"I understand, I understand."
Ye Kun nodded and said with a smile: "Before I leave, I will leave an order. If I have an accident, die, or fall into a coma, you will arrange for Crown Prince Ye Feng to ascend the throne. We will discuss other specific details in our meeting."
Ma Zhao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I still say the same thing. If you can avoid going to the Oil Peninsula, it's better not to go. Send a minister, or a prince, to lead the navy and immigrants there."
"Do not."
Ye Kun shook his head: "I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty. I am here on the Oil Peninsula to declare my sovereignty. The meaning is different. There are some things that the princes and ministers cannot do for me.
If God gives me another 15 years to live, I will go to the Mediterranean to claim sovereignty. I will tell the world that the Mediterranean is our Chinese territory from now on.
Our descendants will also tell the world. Since ancient times, the whole world has been the territory of our Chinese Han people..."
In international diplomacy, the words "since ancient times" are not used casually.
There must be evidence.
The so-called inscription on the Yanran Stone and sealing the Wolf's Lair are clear historical evidence.
Whenever Ye Kun went on tours overseas, he would instruct everyone to build more stone tablets and carvings wherever he went to announce the Chinese Han's control and sovereignty over the local area.
Over the years, many stone tablets and carvings have been made in Liaodong, Jizui Peninsula, Fuso Changdao, Izuo Island, the Nanyang Islands, Xiqiang, the Western Regions, the prairie, Jiaozhi and Tianzhu, as well as Hanhuang Island, etc., and the number is still increasing.
Some stone tablets and stone carvings are located on major traffic routes.
Some stone tablets and stone carvings are even placed in deep mountains and forests or in uninhabited areas.
There is also a part buried underground, which will be dug out later and will serve as evidence of China's claim to sovereignty.
Many people believe that Ye Kun was too ambitious to carve a large number of stone tablets and stone carvings.
But they didn't know that this was Ye Kun's painstaking effort.
Upon hearing this, Sang Buyi and others had no choice but to nod.
Zhuge Hong was more optimistic and said, "Your Majesty has gone to sea many times and returned safely. Moreover, our navigation and shipbuilding technologies are improving rapidly. I believe that Your Majesty has the blessing of heaven, as well as the strong national strength and technical support, so going to sea will be foolproof."
Ye Kun nodded and smiled: "This is exactly what I want to say."
Zhuge Hong smiled, and bowed and left with Sang Buyi and others.
Ye Kun also went to the Science and Technology City, bringing Ye Feng with him to explain to him the future direction of scientific research.
Ye Feng is not very interested in scientific research.
But Ye Kun forced him to study, at least to understand the general scientific system and framework and know the direction of scientific and technological development.
While resting in the Science and Technology City at night, Ye Kun talked to the prince alone.
Ye Kun asked: "In a few years, I will abdicate and let you give it to me. Then I will go overseas and communicate with you from afar. Let me ask you, if I am no longer here and there are ambitious people who rebel, what will you do?"
Ye Feng said: "I will send troops to wipe them out quickly and show no mercy."
"Your style is strong and decisive. I admire it and I don't object to your way of doing things." Ye Kun nodded and asked, "But how can you guarantee that you can wipe out the enemy? How can you guarantee that you can win the battle?"
Ye Feng understood and smiled, "I will listen to my father and vigorously develop science and technology. With powerful science and technology, weapons will be powerful. With powerful science and technology, productivity will increase and national strength will be strong. With strong national strength and weapons, we will naturally be invincible."
"Yes, you must remember and adhere to the path of building a strong country in science and technology, and emphasize and pass it on from generation to generation."
Ye Kun breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "We have also developed a batch of rockets, as well as the latest machine guns and gunpowder, which have not been announced to the public. I will hand over the science and technology city to you before I go to sea."
You have to personally manage the technology. Keep the technology that can be kept confidential strictly confidential. Make sure you have the latest technology in your hands. "
Ye Feng smiled and said, "But father, the black powder technology has been leaked. I heard that the Roman and Qin dynasties are also making black powder now. It is estimated that in a few years, they will have developed mature guns and cannons."
"They only know the general formula of black powder, but not the precise formula. The weapons they made are also limited in power." Ye Kun shook his head and smiled:
"Black powder bronze cannons are indeed easy to make, but guns are difficult to make. It would have been impossible for Rome and Qin to equip themselves with muskets on a large scale without ten years.
When I occupied Yizhou and Hanzhong, I fought with Xiao Dequan and Xiahouchang for the world, but we still didn’t have enough guns. We only had a few thousand. They often broke down during the battles.”
Ye Feng nodded and said, "Yes, even if Rome and Qin have black powder guns, we are not afraid. Our yellow powder guns will crush them."
"I won't allow them to make a large number of guns."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Ye Kun's eyes: "I will inform your brothers Shusheng and Luosheng to launch harassment against Roman Daqin and conduct a small-scale deterrent war. He Zhongshu, Huangfu Lin, Huang Jingzu and Shangguan Lin are all around the Roman Empire and will act at the same time."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Father, I also want to lead troops to fight and go to sea to make achievements, but you won't let me go."
"You little bastard, you've taken advantage of me, and you're still making sarcastic remarks?"
Ye Kun glared and said, "You should be honest and stay in China to build the nine provinces of China. Your brothers who are enfeoffed overseas, no matter how powerful they are in the future, must be respectful and respect you as their elder brother. If you stamp your feet in Zhuo County, people all over the world will be terrified.
Others shed blood and sweat and fought hard for what you were born with. Tell me, what do you want to do overseas? China is such a large territory, you may not be able to walk through it all and see it all in your lifetime. "
Ye Feng chuckled: "I'll listen to my father."
"Listen to me, just be a big brother and be the emperor of the world, don't mess around."
Ye Kun also nodded and smiled.
I remember that before I traveled through time, I saw a question on the Internet - In The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, how could Song Qingshu counterattack Zhang Wuji?
There is a very insightful answer - Song Qingshu does not need to do anything, just wait obediently, wait for Zhang Sanfeng and his father to die, and then succeed him as the head of Wudang. At that time, no matter how powerful Zhang Wuji was, when he saw Song Qingshu, he had to be respectful and call him "head brother"!
If he encounters a strong enemy, Song Qingshu doesn't even need to take action. He can just directly order Zhang Wuji to kill the opponent!
But Song Qingshu was too impatient, always thinking about counterattacking Zhang Wuji, and ended up killing himself, turning it into a tragedy!
