Gu Qingling once again opened the map, revealing a larger map with various question marks.
She pointed to the map of the Ming Dynasty and told everyone what are the four known steering wheels of the Ming Dynasty, southeast, west and northeast, and which countries have ever had war with the Ming Dynasty, and what agreements have been signed.
Which agreements are the other party taking advantage of, and which agreements are the Ming Dynasty taking advantage of.
"No matter what war it is, there is only one reason for its initiation, that is, interests." Gu Qingling summarized these wars.
She said that perhaps she was not comprehensive or planned enough, but one thing is certain, that is, when the war is profitable, they will launch a "war of aggression" and use force against the Ming Dynasty.
And the Ming Dynasty had only one way to protect itself - that is, it was strong enough that no one dared to invade it.
"You have always been wondering why I took such a big risk to teach you this lesson? I am just a woman, an old woman, why should I teach you this lesson?" Gu Qingling's face gradually became serious. "There is a word that says that the rise and fall of the world is responsible. This man should not only include men who do not know a single word, but should include everyone in the Ming Dynasty, men, women, elderly people, and children. Because once the Ming Dynasty is violated by other countries, the people who are hurt are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and these people include elderly people, children, men, and women."
"This kind of harm has nothing to do with gender or age."
"As long as you are a native of the Ming Dynasty, you definitely don't want such a thing to happen."
"And as princes and grandsons, you are the example of all people in the world. You should shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Ming Dynasty and strengthening the Ming Dynasty."
"You are princes and grandsons. You are born with the glory and wealth that ordinary people can only work hard for a lifetime. You have too many advantages. You are the people standing at the top of the pyramid. Therefore, only if you take the lead and do all this well, the people below will follow you and contribute to prosperity and protection of the Ming Dynasty together."
...
With Gu Qingling's words, the princes present, and even the twenty-second prince Li Zheng, were stunned for a moment, and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
It is as if they are no longer individuals, but "parties" tied to the Ming Dynasty.
Every move they make will affect the fate of the Ming Dynasty.
"Finally, you should see that there are many question marks on my map, right?" Gu Qingling's tone gradually became relaxed. She pointed to the question marks, "What are these question marks? This question mark represents the unknown."
"What is an unknown? It is an opportunity, but it may also be a crisis."
"If you know your enemy and know yourself, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles; if you don't know your enemy and know yourself, you will win and lose; if you don't know your enemy and don't know yourself, you will never be defeated in a battle."
"We don't know what is further away, maybe it's a larger continent, maybe it has a stronger country there."
"You just want to imagine how terrible it would be when this unknown place has a country that is far more prosperous than the Ming Dynasty, and when they discovered the Ming Dynasty one day but the Ming Dynasty did not discover them."
"They are strong and rich, and we are only 'rich' but not 'strong' enough, at least not 'strong' enough to deter them. So what will the Ming Dynasty face?"
"Back to the reason why the war just started - interests. If they found out that the Ming Dynasty had something they didn't have, as long as they started the war, they could have such things. The Ming Dynasty did not have enough force to drive out their invaders..."
"Maybe I was gone at that time, but what about you? What about your descendants?"
"Whether you lie on the side of the bed, can you allow others to snore? Do you really think that if there is such a powerful 'imaginary enemy', can the future Ming Dynasty be safe and sound?"
...
Such words are simply offensive to Emperor Mingguang.
The words before were already a little more arrogant. He allowed her to release her for the sake of Li Wenchong. But she was so arrogant that she didn't take him seriously?!
Could it be that in her eyes, the emperor, he is so stupid, that the Ming Dynasty under his control is a paper tiger that can be slaughtered?!
Just as Emperor Mingguang was about to get angry, the twenty-second prince Li Zheng stood up angrily: "Grandma Huang, are you saying too much? In your eyes, the Ming Dynasty under the rule of the father is so useless, can any country invade you?"
Gu Qingling looked calm: "I am not talking about the Ming Dynasty now, it is the future. The future has not yet come. There are so many undiscovered and verified places on the map. How can you be sure that there will not be such an "image enemy" in the future? If it appears, what do you think the Ming Dynasty can deal with?"
"Of course it is the Ming Iron Armored Army. Our Ming Iron Armored Army is extraordinary and invincible."
"Is that so? Then I ask you, who will win and who will lose in the battle with the northern Huns in the 219th year of the Ming Dynasty?"
Slap in the face!
A naked slap in the face!
Who doesn’t know that the battle was defeated in the Ming Dynasty?
Emperor Mingguang's anger came up immediately.
The twenty-two prince Li Zheng spoke before Emperor Mingguang again. He slapped the table with a "slap": "Auntie, are you a spy sent by the enemy country? This picture increases the enemy's majesty and destroys your ambition?!"
"Facts are facts, can't people tell me?" Gu Qingling's expression suddenly became cold, and her tone became solemn, "Even now, the Huns are also in the north. Do you dare to say that after so many years, the Iron Armored Army of the Ming Dynasty has destroyed them. Every winter, the Huns cavalry still invade the northern border, causing the children of the Ming Dynasty to suffer. How dare you say that the Iron Armored Army of the Ming Dynasty is "invincible"? Confidence is good, but it is so confident that it is arrogant, ignores one's own shortcomings, and keeps advocating how powerful one is, ignores the development of other countries, and even forgets Sun Tzu's Art of War, "knowing oneself and enemy, and being able to win every battle." Do you really think that such a Ming Dynasty can be foolproof?"
"Enough!"
This time, Emperor Mingguang could no longer bear it. He shouted softly, which made the whole classroom change his face.
When the princes and grandchildren heard this familiar voice, they almost got scared to heart disease, so they quickly knelt down and apologized.
Even Li Wenchong knelt down: "Your Majesty forgives the crime. Princess Chong is not meant to be honest. She just talks loudly and is very excited for a moment. Please spare her this time after Princess Chong's hard work for so many years..."
Gu Qingling sighed in her heart and knelt down to apologize: "Your Majesty forgives the crime, it is all my fault. Please do not blame Prince Chong. It is just what I say today, every sentence is heartfelt. I am a person of the Ming Dynasty, and I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be complacent, forget the art of war, and forget the four words "Arrogant soldiers will be defeated."
In a rage, Emperor Mingguang released a powerful aura, which almost made everyone present breathless.
All the princes and grandsons did not expect that they would meet Emperor Mingguang after listening to a class?!
Forget it, it was just the time when Prince Chong was "abused". Isn't this a disaster for the fish?
Also, at this time, Princess Chong should not "add fuel to the fire" anymore, right?
