Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 1506

Some people might think that Wei Wu's words were completely wishful thinking.

With the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply impossible for it to achieve actual control over such a large area.

In fact, Wei Wu himself knew that this was impossible, but he didn't actually want to take actual control at all.

Or rather, it wasn't actual control in the conventional sense. To put it bluntly, whether or not these places could be controlled by the Ming Dynasty was not important.

What's truly important is to leverage the Ming Dynasty's current strength to ensure that these lands are effectively controlled by the descendants of Yan and Huang.

If this is the kind of control it refers to, then I'm sorry, it's really not a difficult thing for China.

Wei Wu once read a joke about a group of elderly scholars from Western countries who came to China.

Standing on the Great Wall, feeling the wind from Siberia, they weren't thinking about 'how the Great Wall was built'.

The real question is, "What kind of magic pills have these people taken to keep China running for five thousand years without falling apart?"

Throughout global history, the mighty Roman Empire vanished, and the ashes of Egyptian pharaohs are left to gather dust in the British Museum.

The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are now completely devoid of vegetation, and ancient India... is nothing but a pile of excrement.

All powerful nations and civilizations, under the wheels of time, have been crushed until not even ashes remain.

But only the Chinese nation, no matter what hardships and tribulations it has experienced, has always been able to reunite and become stronger.

It's like a computer system with super compatibility; even if it's infected by a virus, it can still integrate with it.

Then the invading virus will turn into antivirus software, helping the system to kill viruses and maintain stable system operation.

This can be seen from the fact that the first thing Kublai Khan did after entering the Central Plains was to establish a legitimate title for himself.

The same applies to the Manchu Qing dynasty; once they entered the Chinese system, they were eventually made compatible with it.

Therefore, as long as we can occupy those lands, within a hundred years, those places will become the homeland of China since ancient times.

Of course, Wei Wu only thought these things in his heart; he would never say them to either Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Biao.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were similar to his, some things could be left unsaid but could never be said openly.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang was well aware of how difficult it would be to actually control those areas, as Wei Wu had said.

But as the saying goes, meat can rot in the pot, and it doesn't really matter whether the pot belongs to the Zhu family or the Yanhuang family.

As long as we move in that direction, at least the Zhu family is still the ruler of the world and governs the Ming Dynasty.

So in the following period, Zhu Yuanzhang and Wei Wu kept refining the governor plan, exchanging ideas back and forth.

Zhu Biao, the main figure in this plan, was not involved at all; he simply listened quietly from the sidelines.

Of course, this is just a plan for the two of them at the moment. After all, it will take a lot of time to prepare before it can be implemented.

At the very least, the railway must be built first, so that when troops are sent out to fight in the future, the troubles of traveling and logistics can be reduced.

And so, the two chatted so enthusiastically that it lasted until the afternoon, during which Zhu Yuxuan came to visit several times.

However, she didn't approach them. Seeing the two chatting so intently, she assumed they were discussing some serious national matter.

Although she felt sorry for her husband, she didn't dare to disturb him and could only come over to check on him from time to time.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao was nearby. Seeing that Zhu Yuxuan had come several times, Zhu Biao quickly interrupted their conversation.

Subsequently, in order not to interfere with Zhu Yuxuan and Wei Wu, they directly used the excuse of handling state affairs to take Zhu Yuanzhang away.
