Zhu Yuanzhang looked embarrassed and glared at the source of the voice.
Zhu Biao subconsciously took a step back and shut his mouth obediently, not daring to speak again.
An old father loved his face the most. What could a son do?
Just endure it!
But the good news was that Su Bai's life was saved, but they had to hurry up and get him out of the Imperial Jail.
Staying inside would cause more trouble!
Besides, the execution was getting closer and closer. Who knew if Ling, that rascal, would really help Su Bai escape from prison?
That would not be worth it.
Back to Zhu Di.
After hearing Su Bai's words, Zhu Di's blood boiled. He was eager to lead troops to the war, to break the situation for Ming Dynasty and relieve the worries of the people.
Riding on horseback, galloping on the battlefield!
The Northern Yuan Tartars howled in pain!
Just thinking about it made his heart surge!
Zhu Di punched with his fist, his excitement overflowing.
"Mr. Smith, please continue. I'm listening!”
Su Bai stopped pouring the wine. He turned his head to look at him and said,"
"What else?"
"Didn't I already say it?"
"What else do you want to hear?"
Zhu Di was confused.
"It's not that you haven't taught me how to calm the public's anger when the flames of war are rekindled, Mr. Smith.”
"Everyone has finally had two days of peace, but Great Ming is going to start a full-scale war again, especially when they want to form foreign armies. The soldiers are all Mengyuan Tartars."
"When the commoners find out, won't they explode?”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Su Bai looked at Zhu Di in surprise. He didn't expect this boorish man to have a brain.
"I really couldn't tell. You're quite well-rounded. Your worries are not without reason.”
Su Bai smiled:
"The reason why Emperor Hong Wu is respected by the people is because he treats the people well. Only an emperor who has suffered will know what the people really need.”
" Compared to the cold and merciless natural disasters, the people are more afraid of endless wars."
Zhu Di nodded solemnly.
He had been hearing the old man talk about these things since he could remember.
The monarch who founded the country conquered the country, and the monarch who defended the country consolidated the country.
Conquering everywhere and engaging in militarism could only cause the world to be plunged into misery.
After a moment of silence.
Zhu Di took a deep breath and bowed respectfully. He said from the bottom of his heart,"
"I also want to be a general, I also want to be in charge of the army alone, I also want to contribute to Great Ming, I also want to expand the territory, sweep away all foreign enemies, and suppress an era!”
"Teacher Su, please teach me how to appease the public's anger.”
At this moment, the question Zhu Di was asking Su Bai was exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know.
Without the support of the people, it was indeed impossible to fight a war, let alone win a war.
No one could withstand a fire in the backyard.
There was no doubt about it.
If he couldn't resolve the people's hearts, everything he said before would still be empty talk. There was no value at all.
"Get up."
Su Bai hesitated for a while and sighed:
"Since you have this intention, let's just chat casually. However, this topic has already become a topic of discussion.”
"It's just for fun. Don't take it to heart. After all, a person's power is limited. Even if you know, you can't change anything.”
Zhu Di's eyes brightened up and he quickly poured Su Bai a glass of wine.
He was busy with everything and was very attentive.
He was indeed not the emperor, but his father was the emperor, and his big brother would be the emperor in the future!
As long as he got the solution, he could give the old man a suggestion. The old man would be happy after reading it. Mr. Su's life would be saved, right?
"Alright, don't be so busy. I'm getting dizzy from all the spinning.”
Su Bai raised his hand and pulled Zhu Di aside. He said bluntly:
"Regarding the issue of the people's hearts, I mentioned it just now. You didn't listen attentively.”
"Ah? Is that so?" Zhu Di scratched his head. He really couldn't remember.
Su Bai rolled his eyes and gave him a start:
"War is never about who kills more people, but what benefits can be obtained from a great war.”
When Zhu Di heard this, he seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly continued,
"Giving back to the people is the way of a general!”
"Mr. Smith, look, I listened carefully and remembered everything. I didn't forget, but I just couldn't remember it at the moment.”
Zhu Di was showing off proudly, looking like he was asking for praise, which made Su Bai feel disgusted again.
Su Bai ignored him and continued:
"Giving back to the people is the key to solving the problem.”
"Why do commoners hate war?”
"Because war will make them lose a lot of things. They will lose their homes, their farmland, and their loved ones. That's why they hate war.”
"On the contrary, if the war does not allow them to lose, but allows them to gain, do you think there will be people who will not support it?”
It was a soft sentence.
It was as if thunder had struck from the ground.
Whether it was Zhu Di, Zhu Yuanzhang, or Zhu Biao on the other side.
They were all enlightened.
He had comprehended the essence of it!
"Pa!"
Zhu Di slapped his thigh and looked unusually excited." I understand!”
"Mister Su, what you mean is that the imperial court needs to give the people some benefits and let them see the benefits of the northern expedition so that they can slowly change their mindset!”
"That's right, that's it."
Su Bai nodded and smiled bitterly:
"As strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, why haven't I heard of them being afraid of battle? From the emperor to the common people, when had they ever been frightened by a few broken horses and a few broken sabers?”
"All the people are soldiers. There's nothing to fear. As long as you dare to invade my home, I'll definitely burn your bones and scatter your ashes!”
Su Bai had drunk a lot today. With the slight tipsy feeling, he scolded:
"And look at you now. It doesn't look like it!”
"It's all the Song Dynasty's fault for breaking the Han people's spine."
The more Su Bai spoke, the more excited he became. He slapped the table and stood up:
"They deserve to be beaten. Beat them to death. Fight in all aspects. F * ck them. We've bullied the Han people for hundreds of years. It's time to pay our debts!”
"The history books are too small to contain the magnificent lives of our ancestors. The history books are too big. It's time to take back everything that we gave them."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping next door, perked up.
He could not help but feel his blood rush up, and even his breathing became hurried.
Good!
Well said!
He had to be ruthless!
The backbone of the Han people could never be broken!
If that bit of courage was gone, what was the point of living?
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and felt an indescribable sense of joy.
He bowed to Su Bai through the stone wall.
Zhu Biao, who was standing at the side, had just stretched out his hand halfway and was about to say something to dissuade him, but he did not make a sound.
Then Zhu Biao hurriedly stood up and bowed to Su Bai like Zhu Yuanzhang.
The father and son were filled with admiration.
