How to send troops to the Japanese country, and how to implement the follow-up mining operations of the armies, these days have been perfected in the station.
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, already confident: "Grandpa's strategy is still the first priority. Now I, the Ming Dynasty, am slowly plotting against the Japanese country and attacking steadily."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and his eyes signaled Zhu Yunxi to continue.
"Nowadays, my court is mobilized every year by the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the grassland, which consumes half of the energy of the court. The armies and horses of Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places are also preparing to conquer the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."
"Under such circumstances, the Ming Dynasty had very little energy left to devote to the situation in Japan."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked deeply and said, "So you use Li Jinglong and let him take charge of Japanese affairs."
"Grandpa, it's true." Zhu Yunxi explained: "Cao Guogong has no experience in military formation, but he can't fault anything in his conduct and treatment of people and things. Now our Ming army has set foot in the Japanese country to stabilize the situation. Open up financial resources for our dynasty. Cao Guogong is very suitable to move between the northern and southern dynasties of Japan."
The Ming Dynasty currently does not have the ability to start a war on two fronts, let alone continuously transport troops across the sea to organize a war far away from the Central Plains.
Letting the northern and southern dynasties of Japan compete with each other while maintaining the confrontation between the north and the south is what the Ming Dynasty hopes to see most.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement and said: "Jiujiang is a good candidate. There is a guard stationed in the Japanese country. As long as he chooses a deputy general for him, he will be safe."
There are more than 5,000 people in one guard.
This is the maximum that the imperial court can send after Zhu Yunxi's calculation this time.
It's not that the imperial court didn't have troops and horses, but that the imperial court could only transport so many people through Shandong Road and Lee's Joseon Kingdom across the sea.
Zhu Yunxi took over the words and said: "One guard of troops and horses is enough to make the Northern Dynasty of Japan fearful, and it can also ensure the safety of our dynasty in Japan. The rest is to organize the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, and to coordinate with Li's North Korea to recruit people to go to Japan. Mining silver.”
Zhu Yuanzhang reviewed and deduced in his mind, and then asked: "Do you have any ideas about Jiujiang's deputy?"
Zhu Yunxi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "On the military battlefield, my grandson thinks that Heqing Hou Zhang Yi is worthy of a big job."
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He nodded and looked at his good grandson and praised: "Zhang Yi has joined the army with his father since he was a child. He followed our family all the way from Fengyang. He dares to fight and fight hard in the military formation, but what is even more valuable is that he holds the army. Be steady. With him here, I don’t think there will be any major changes in the military formation.”
Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "My grandson thinks so too, so I choose him."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted twice: "I am becoming more and more accurate in judging people. Let's talk about who else in the court you like to send to the Japanese country."
The old man revealed what he had never said in his heart.
Zhu Yunxi smiled awkwardly and said hesitantly: "My grandson intends to ask Zhong Tiexuan, the director of the Wenhua Palace and the director of the etiquette department of the Ministry of Etiquette, to go to the Japanese country."
The Ministry of Etiquette is very good.
Tie Xuan is his ideal candidate for Minister of War.
Go to the Japanese country, stay for a few years, accumulate merits, and return to the court. Rujun will probably have to retire by then, and Tiexuan can naturally take advantage of the situation to gain a title and take charge of the military affairs.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.
This choice was something he didn't expect.
"Tie Xuan, Xie Jin, and Xia Yuanji are all people your boy values, how can you be so willing to send him to Japan?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "Since I am the son of the Han family and an official of the Ming Dynasty, I don't care whether I want it or not. If he is suitable for this position, my grandson will choose him first."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly chuckled and looked helplessly at his good grandson who was becoming more and more thoughtful.
"You have set your sights on the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, right?"
At this time, Prince Zhu Biao, who had never spoken before, spoke quietly and looked at his son with a dull look.
Zhu Yuanzhang also stopped laughing and looked at his good grandson with a funny look.
Zhu Yunxi was exposed by his father and smiled helplessly: "My son just thinks it's appropriate..."
Zhu Biao smiled silently, shook his head and said: "The kindness comes from the superior, thunder and rain, and all ministers receive it. You are the king, and Tie Xuan is the minister. What he wants, he has to earn it himself and make achievements. I come to you again to ask for a title. Without going through hardships and dangers, how can I know that it is rare to have an official rank in the court?"
Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, but before he could explain.
The old man behind him already echoed: "You are right, no one can pave the way for the ministers from scratch. The more they value someone, the more they will beat him. This time, my grandfather asked him to go to the Japanese country, but this time There will never be a next time for me to pave the way for my ministers."
Listen to the old man and dad's warning.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly woke up and just realized what he was doing.
There was also a look of solemn worry on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his darling grandson's embarrassment and kicked his butt: "Pass the order, tell everything that needs to be explained, and let Jiujiang set off with the Japanese envoys on a certain day."
Zhu Yunxi got a kick on the butt.
He put his hand on his butt, responded, got up on the ground and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, Liu Sanwu, the Minister of Zhongshu, and several censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, coming hand in hand.
"I will see you, the great grandson of the emperor."
Zhao Mian, Liu Sanwu and others looked at the emperor's grandson who happened to come out of the palace and bowed.
Zhu Yunxi stopped and looked at the people: "You are entering the palace at this time, but there are state affairs going on?"
Liu Sanwu was about to speak, but Zhao Mian at the side beat him to it.
There was a trace of hesitation and embarrassment in Zhao Mian's eyes, and he said softly: "There are a few things in the court that I need to report to Your Majesty before we can proceed."
"oh?"
These people obviously want to cause trouble.
Zhu Yunxi turned around and went back into the hall: "Guys, please follow me to see grandpa."
He didn't give these people a chance to refuse to explain, and walked straight into the temple.
Liu Sanwu looked a little anxious.
Zhao Mian appeared calmer, turned to signal to everyone, and whispered to Liu Sanwu: "Liu Sheren, don't worry, you should be steady at this time!"
Liu Sanwu took a deep breath, nodded, and followed Zhao Mian, who had already taken the lead, into the hall.
Inside the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi who had left and returned, with curiosity and amusement on his face: "Why, he came back so soon."
Zhu Yunxi laughed dryly and said: "Back to grandpa, as soon as my grandson went out, he bumped into Zhao Shangshu and Liu Sheren, and brought several censors to see him."
I didn't summon Zhao Mian or Liu Sanwu today.
A trace of suspicion flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, but his expression soon calmed down, and he leaned on the table, looking blankly at the few people who had arrived outside the side hall.
"I have something to report to Your Majesty."
Zhao Mian and others stood bowed outside the side hall and spoke in unison.
Sun Gou'er, who was serving the emperor, took a look at the old man's face and took two steps forward: "Come in."
Zhao Mian and others bowed and stepped into the side hall, all the way to the emperor.
Several people raised their heads and saw that the emperor's grandson, who seemed to be preparing to leave the palace just now, was already sitting cross-legged next to the emperor, carefully pouring tea for the old man.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes and looked at a few people, showing a slight smile: "What do you want to tell me?"
Liu Sanwu turned to look at Zhao Mian.
The Minister of Revenue returned a look, then took a step forward, bowed and raised his hands high.
"Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is going to war again?"
Zhu Yunxi, who was pouring tea for the old man, couldn't help but stop holding the teapot for a moment, then gently put the teapot down, and turned his head to look at Zhao Mian.
Zhu Yuanzhang whispered: "Oh? How did Zhao Shangshu know that we are going to use troops?"
You are not asking knowingly.
Zhao Mian cursed in his heart and said more carefully: "I live in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I am familiar with the money and grain in the court and the local warehouses. Recently, all the warehouses in Yingtian have shipped money, grain, ordnance to the Longjiang Shipyard. The guards of the Beijing Army are also in charge of the governor. Under the coordination of the government, troops and horses are frequently dispatched to the Longjiang Shipyard. If I don't know that your Majesty wants to use troops, I will be ashamed of your Majesty for asking me to take charge of the household department."
The emperor's habit is very bad.
Although the emperors had always been domineering in the past, the use of military conquests by the country and the dynasty were always discussed in the court, and the ministries and departments also coordinated together to work together.
At this moment, the old emperor actually bypassed the imperial court, obviously keeping a low profile, which made Zhao Mian, Liu Sanwu and others very worried.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "It's just mobilizing troops and horses and coordinating the garrison. It's not a big deal."
Liu Sanwu responded and said, "Your Majesty wants to use troops against the Japanese state? This time the Japanese envoys from the Northern Dynasty behaved arrogantly and disobediently in court. I even heard that many corpses were transported out of the posthouse yesterday."
Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man, and then looked at Liu Sanwu.
"Liu Sheren, do you have any objections to His Majesty's decree?"
This group of civil servants probably felt that the Central Plains court should not engage in wars all day long, let alone fight undeclared wars.
Zhu Yuanzhang also stared at the old man with a faint look.
However, Liu Sanwu seemed completely unaware and continued: "Your Majesty wants to use troops, and I don't dare to say anything. But this is a matter of military affairs. Your Majesty uses troops and horses to conquer foreign countries. In terms of emotion, reason, and etiquette and rules, it should be done Bring it to the court in advance to discuss with the ministers. When using food, grass, ordnance, the court must coordinate with the governor's office and strategize."
This group of civil servants is still the same.
Although he already had the power to govern the world and the people on behalf of the emperor, he still wanted to keep a tight grip on the military.
Bad nature has a long history.
It's abominable!
Zhu Yunxi's eyes gradually darkened.
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "As I said, it's just a trivial matter for the troops. There is no need to bring it to the court to talk about it."
Seeing that Liu Sanwu was trying to defeat the emperor, Zhao Mian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't think this matter is impossible, but I am worried. Your Majesty wants to conquer... and station troops in the Japanese country. This is something that has never been done before in our dynasty. The matter of thousands of soldiers crossing the sea is of great importance, so no matter what, we should discuss it together in the court."
As Zhao Mian spoke, several censors who came with him also bowed in agreement.
The words are all about the imperial court's use of troops. No matter what happens, it must be discussed by the imperial court.
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows became more serious.
He felt that these people were beating too lightly.
Are they able to know about military affairs?
Zhu Yunxi immediately stood up and spoke: "The Japanese country is arrogant. The Yoshino clan in the southern dynasty was the orthodox Japanese country, but was suppressed by the Ashikaga clan in the northern dynasty. This time the Ashikaga clan barked at the Ming Dynasty, and even killed my Ming people at Laoshan Palace outside the city."
"The five corpses in Laoshan Imperial Mansion are not cold yet."
"At present, the Japanese country is orthodox. The Yoshino clan surrenders to our court and is willing to regard our court as the superior country. Please send troops to deter rebellion in the country."
"The Ming Dynasty relied on emotion and reason to send troops to the Japanese countries to frighten the small rebellion in the country."
Zhu Yunxi paused for a moment, then looked blankly at Liu Sanwu and others.
These people were not worried about the safety of the soldiers going to sea, nor were they worried about whether Ming Dynasty could win in Japan.
Just because of the evil nature they inherited from the Song Dynasty, they always want to have the entire court in their hands.
When they controlled the Ming Dynasty's army, even the emperor of the Ming Dynasty could only obey their words!
He said unceremoniously at the moment: "Military and national battle formation matters have always been carried out vigorously and swiftly. Fighters flash by. If it is brought to the court for discussion and the opportunity of the army is delayed, can you bear the blame?"
snort!
After hundreds of years, the enemies and thieves will be at the feet of the Emperor of Heaven, and people like you are still discussing how to defend against the enemy in the court every day!
