Li Dongyang's abacus beads clicked loudly, and he apparently pushed the complex set to the top, but in fact, he divided the complex set into one or two million taels and settled the matter.
Anyway, Emperor Zhengde has been in that position for a long time, and most of his ministers understand that the money left by the court is either used on military and political matters such as complex affairs, or on practical matters such as people's livelihood.
It's great to allocate hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to Wang Shouren for the Navy's military pay. However, the available silver this year has exceeded 17 million taels. Even if we find a way to build a library, there will still be a lot left over.
The elders and bachelors spoke decent words, but when it was their turn to compete for money, they were really ruthless.
"Your Majesty, I have a starting point for you."
A man came out from the back of the Ministry of War column. He had a straight face and a long beard, but he was actually a handsome man.
Zhu Houzhao remembered him as Yang Zengrong, a member of the Ministry of War who was to be reinstated in two years.
"In the first year of Zhengde, the Ming Dynasty and the Tatars fought in the grassland. In this battle, the situation between the enemy and ourselves has obviously changed, and the grassland must have fallen into internal fighting. At this moment, the Ming Dynasty suddenly revived, its military power was greatly enhanced, and its soldiers were as elite as Sharp blades, generals, as brave as tigers and leopards, with tens of millions of taels of silver left in the treasury. This is a great opportunity given by God. If your Majesty wants to drive the grasslands northward and determine the power of the Han and Tang Dynasties, he should launch the Northern Expedition this year. If God does not take it, you will be punished. .When Dayan Khan unifies Mongolia, then it will be ten times more difficult than it is today!"
"absurd!"
As soon as Yang Zengrong finished speaking, someone interrupted him.
The person who spoke was none other than Peng Ze, the governor of Henan.
He shook his sleeves and raised his hands to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, Sun Tzu's Art of War says: Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival and death. We must observe them. The army conquered the Tatars, and the whole country was shocked. Your Majesty has been on the throne for less than two years now. In the year, the situation of the world and the money of the national treasury have just improved. It is time to rest with the people and implement benevolent policies in the hope of bringing great order to the world. How can we easily start a war?
Furthermore, I am not ignorant of the Tatar situation, but I still don’t know whether there will be a fight this year, let alone what the outcome will be. Even if they do fight, ordinary masters also know the principle of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. Since the left and right Mongols are fighting within themselves, let them fight for a few years. They are exhausted, and it is best for us to wait for work.
Moreover, Dayan Khan did not have the strength to quickly unify the right-wing Mongolia. Otherwise, there would be no so-called "God-given opportunity", and Mongolia would have been unified long ago! "
Yang Zengrong refused to give in at all, "According to what Peng Zhongcheng said, three years is too early to repeat. It would be better to wait another three to five years, right?"
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyelids, he was not happy to wait like this. He understands that haste makes waste, but if you don't deal with this potential opponent quickly when you have the strength, what are you waiting for?
Waiting for the enemy to weaken?
If you harbor such illusions, you are not worthy of becoming a strong person.
When several people in the cabinet heard this, they also felt nervous. This Yang Zengrong is not a good person. He was hit seven inches above the ground at once. In today's battle, we fought back and forth, but the emperor still wanted to win.
How could the young emperor wait a few more years when he wanted to make a difference? The key to waiting is to expect that the enemy will become weaker. This is bullshit. Damn it, what if everyone really becomes stronger together?
Dayan Khan was not a cowardly and incompetent leader.
On this point, it's useless no matter how extravagant Peng Ze's words are. Maybe it will have the opposite effect.
But Peng Ze was not stupid either. He immediately understood the insidiousness in Yang Zengrong's words, "Don't judge him right or left. When did I say I would wait another three to five years?"
"Then what Peng Zhongcheng means is next year."
There seems to be a trap in this statement?
Peng Ze didn't dare to answer for a moment.
Zhang Fuhua, the censor of Zuodu, came out tremblingly and saluted Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty swore when he established the national policy that he would take back millions of acres of fertile land on both sides of the Hetao in his lifetime. If it doesn't happen in three years, it won't happen in five or five years. Even if it takes ten or twenty years, it will be done! Listening to His Majesty's words that day, the veteran felt excited and couldn't control himself. Moreover, the veteran remembered His Majesty's repeated orders to govern the country pragmatically. At present, if the five-year resumption is better than the three-year resumption, will the court still put the best first?"
Emperors generally do not mess around when in power. Zhu Houzhao could only give one answer to this statement.
But if he answered, the advantage established by Yang Zengrong would no longer exist.
So the bearded man also glanced at the old guy with some dissatisfaction.
Of course, you still have to listen to the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao had a very good idea of what they were thinking, and he would not have much advantage in judging whether it was three years or two years. If they didn't understand this 'trap', Yang Zengrong would kill them here.
"Complexity is a matter of state, and state affairs must not be taken lightly. Of course, the best priority must be put first."
After hearing this, Zhang Fuhua was a little satisfied and a little dissatisfied. He was satisfied that the emperor followed his words, but he was dissatisfied because he didn't say anything.
In terms of cunning, the emperor is not bad either.
Yang Zengrong responded quickly, optimal, optimal. How can you prove that waiting here for three to five years is optimal? Therefore, it is unclear what the emperor's intentions were.
"Your Majesty! The ministers believe that the opportunity must not be missed before it comes again. Moreover, there are millions of acres of fertile land in Hetao. If we capture it as soon as possible, the court can cultivate it as soon as possible. After the battle is decided, the situation on the border has greatly eased, which is beneficial to the country. , which is more beneficial to the people of the world."
"No! When it comes to the battlefield, don't worry about victory before thinking about defeat. Since you can seek safety, why are you willing to take risks? This is putting Your Majesty and the people of the world in a place of neglect! Your Majesty, this person is just for his own selfishness. Regardless of the country, the country, and the country, the ambition of the wolf is obvious. I ask your majesty to kill this person to restore the righteousness of the court!"
"emperor……"
The two parties fought and argued over this matter, and Zhu Houzhao's head hurt when he heard it.
In the end, he had no choice but to watch Yang Yiqing in the presence of the old god.
"Yang Aiqing, you are the cabinet minister and the governor of the three countries. You have all the complicated matters in your mind. What do you think should be done?"
Yang Yiqing raised his hand, "I am acting under the king's orders. For more than a year, I have been preparing for the border, storing food and grass, and training soldiers, and my combat power has been greatly increased. Even if I don't mention these, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, even if I die on the battlefield, You should die righteously. Therefore, I have no other thoughts. The imperial court has decided today, so I will go out today, and tomorrow is decided, so I will go out tomorrow. The emperor's holy will is not wrong, and everything shall be subject to the emperor's holy will."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at this old fox.
"Your Majesty." Liu Jin said from the side.
"Um?"
"General Yibuza, here we are."
"Xuan." Zhu Houzhao flicked his sleeves.
Neither stun nor surprised,
He is not a child. As a subordinated general, Zhu Houzhen took good care of him. He also knows that some sensitive things need to be avoided. Therefore, he thought it was normal that the court would not look for him, but suddenly announced him, but he felt a little uncomfortable.
"I am a humble minister, and I will always thank you for your support. See His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
He still wore Mongolian clothes and behaved according to Mongolian etiquette.
"Flat body."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Yong Xiebu, today I am discussing with the ministers in the DPRK about the reintegration. One side thinks that this year they will pursue the grasslands and help the two right-wing households of Tumut and Ordos to resist Dayan Khan, while the other side feels , you should sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, and wait for them to defeat both sides first. You are from the grassland and know it better. What do you think the Ming Dynasty should be like at this time? Or to be more specific, do you think Dayan Khan will be better this year? Attack Tumut and Ordos?"
An emperor of the Ming Dynasty said such a thing to a Mongolian. This term is really spicy.
Bi La did not understand the situation clearly. In fact, he could not understand what the officials of the Ming Dynasty were fighting for. He was considering the wishes of the Ming Emperor and his own interests.
"I believe that Dayan Khan will definitely raise troops this year, and if His Majesty still wants to sincerely conquer Tumut and Ordos, he must send troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, all the men will be killed, leaving only the elderly and children. Your Majesty the Emperor, you want the old, weak, women and children Does it really work?"
At this point, some people in the room were happy and some were worried.
"Your Majesty!" Li Dongyang, the elder of the cabinet cabinet, couldn't hold himself still. "Old minister, I have something to say."
