Chapter 182 Manuscripts

Chen Mu really doesn't want to go to war with Spain, otherwise the friction on the border would be an excellent excuse to move troops.

"They killed four of us, why didn't they send troops to drive them away--the Grand Marshal would rather teach them to go to the village to lead the people to practice than let them fight."

Although Zhao Shizhen was so arrogant in front of foreign envoys, he looked like a big and big man in Asia, Chen Mu, and his fourth man, but when he entered the military government office, he was like a complaining wife, and his mouth was endless.

The four people died, nagging from morning to night, and could talk about it eight hundred times a day. Chen Mu only pretended not to hear it, but he was not angry with Zhao Shizhen either.

Now the entire Eastern Military Palace is filled with an atmosphere of the west, from immigrating to officials and then to the Beiyang Army, as if it was turning around the mentality of the previous time in Nanyang.

At that time, Chen Mu was like a war madman, declaring war with others with his teeth and claws. Now Chen Mu seems to have entered the time of the sage, but the people below began to get restless.

The reason why Chen Mu was not angry was that he knew why these people were restless.

In the past, the military officials, including Zhao Shizhen, had some sympathy for the Westerners. Although they didn't say it, Chen Mu could think that anyone would feel sympathy when he followed him all day long and watched how he bullied people.

At first, the people were simply worried that the existence of the Westerners would pose a threat to their safety. Some of the flag army's resistance to the Westerners was due to the hatred caused by the killings in the war, and some wanted to exchange their heads for promotion.

But now it is different. His people are all very angry. This comes from the integration of immigrants and indigenous peoples, and from the recent mission of translators in the military palaces who have taken on the mission of the "Ming Dynasty subtitle group" and have translated a large number of European books in their hands. Some of these books have been published to let them know that the atrocities committed by the colonists in Spain and Portugal were indignant.

In Chen Mu's opinion, the publication of these translated books is an education, and he has indeed achieved the purpose of education - people know that not every race in this world has kindness to outsiders like them.

Geographical conflicts brought about by the development of civilization are inevitable. The so-called having good thoughts means that after the conflict occurs, it first tries to coexist without violating one's own interests, and try once or even multiple times until war is inevitable.

When you fail, I will set rules for you to stop fighting and keep you alive.

This is almost the greatest good idea among civilizations, but this is a good idea that only great powers have. Almost all great powers will do this. Not only China, but ultimately it is the confidence brought by the superior civilization with strong control ability.

As for a weak civilization, the first thing to consider when a crisis occurs is to eliminate you, use any means to eliminate you without leaving any trouble, and cannot let you stand up again.

When China developed to the Ming Dynasty, its way of thinking about countries was not perfect in Chen Mu's opinion - he had never suffered any losses.

From beginning to end, the descendants looked at their predecessors, and they all fought with each other, and they broke down.

It has indeed been weak, but in a hundred years, two hundred years or at most three hundred years, it will turn over again and you will always win.

This way of thinking in the Ming Dynasty is irrelevant when it is strong, and when it is weak, you will suffer a great loss because you do not know how to protect yourself.

Now at least the immigrants have learned that if they are crushed to the ground by Spain, the consequences will be the same as those encountered by the indigenous people.

Therefore, everyone was very angry, only Chen Mu regarded these as common sense and could be as calm as ever.

"Can you translate books selectively? Knights like this don't have time to send the original Western language back to Beiyang and let those students be used as training materials."

Chen Mu raised his military boots on the table, raised his hand and turned the knights translated by the official upside down, and then answered Zhao Shizhen's previous words: "War is my means to achieve my goal, not an end. Now, there is no need to fight to achieve my goal. Why do I still have to pay the price of killing and injuring the soldiers?"

Chen Mu spread his hands and leaned on the back of the chair and said leisurely: "Just rob land for killing people? Our land is not enough now. After the Chinese New Year, we will launch a new pioneer team to open up the land north. We can get almost everything from the Western Kingdom without a single soldier. Why do we need to start a war?"

As he said that, Chen Mu put down his legs and sat upright, saying, "Why are you doing what Lin Youshuai led his troops to hike over the border? There is really a problem that it is not the people's turn to do it. The guerrillas will clean up the people first; the guerrillas did not move, but just informed the news, indicating that the mistake was in our place. Our armed people crossed the border and liberated the plantation. What else do you think?"

"You can save the person who falls into the water, but you can stop others from seeking death for the second time?" Chen Mu curled his lips: "Is the majesty of the people of the Celestial Empire so good?"

This incident was a complete disaster for Chen Mu. No matter how unreasonable he was, he could not stand up for this matter unless he was his person, but his person was not so stupid.

It is impossible to escape from the plantation. Regardless of the reason, whether it is going back to save people or take revenge, at least a few people and a few guns, right? I just wear a dress of a wise man and dare to go back to make trouble if I have no hands. Is this confidence and superstition?

It's too tiring.

Zhao Shizhen thought about Chen Mu's words and felt something was reasonable, so he nodded slowly and asked, "What is Chen Shuai's purpose to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous?"

Zhao Shizhen heard this countless times and always felt that Chen Mu's purpose was not that true. Although the result was good, going to sea made the Ming Dynasty very rich, others felt that he should not fight when he should fight, and he bullied people when he felt that he should not bully people. When others felt that justice should be upheld, he stopped the news.

It always feels very strange.

"I'm looking for something, looking for the secrets of civilization and progress."

Chen Mu squeezed his eyes and pretended to be mysterious, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's getting closer and closer. Recently, I found that this world will operate on its own, and the development of technology is not that mysterious."

This sentence was heard in Zhao Shizhen's ears. He just thought Chen Mu used his divine words to swear, but this was really Mr. Chen's heartfelt words.

It took him ten years to figure out this truth.

This world will operate on its own, and development can be controlled by humans naturally. However, if technology wants to produce a qualitative leap, it is difficult to achieve natural operation. Because it is difficult to achieve, Chen Mu has considered this problem too complicated in the past.

But now, he already knew that he only needed to find a key key to open a new door.

He had found several keys for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Shizhen didn't understand, so he simply stopped asking questions. He was more willing to believe that Chen Mu had fought successively for the Ming Dynasty's finances.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Shizhen shook his head and suddenly thought of something. He took out a gorgeous and complicated decoration from the table and looked like a Spanish-style wooden box, and said, "By the way, this was what Brother Fu came to give to the Grandmaster last time when he came to deliver the book of the West, and it was his gift."

"It seems to be a manuscript of famous scholars from Western countries, antiques."

Chen Mu smiled. Brother Fu knew how to give gifts to him? It didn't look expensive. He raised his hand to take the box and whispered to read the marks on it: "Leonardo manuscript?"
