After the meeting, Han You's head was buzzing and he was disturbed by the noise.
He had an illusion that the interest of the ministers in the leader of the Yi Dao Guard and the favor of the discussion were stronger than gunpowder.
In fact, this is not an illusion. The ministers are like a mirror in their hearts. After Han You, there are real Yidao Guards. After Yidao Guards, there is gunpowder.
The manufacture and supervision of gunpowder is the responsibility of Zhuyingjian, who is inseparable from Yidaowei. Now the top priority is still the candidate for the new leader of Yidaowei.
After walking out of the palace, Han You looked back at the ministers who were coming out one after another. He thought for a while and did not turn back. He missed his wife and children. Since Lao Ba asked the courtiers to discuss, let's discuss it, as long as they are his own people.
While walking, Han You muttered.
He felt that the ministers knew the friends around him better than he did, and he had never heard of many of the things they mentioned.
Not all the ministers left. The bosses of the three provinces and several ministers tacitly stayed in the hall, and Lao Ba did not move his butt.
A court meeting is also a "meeting", and that's what meetings are like. Small meetings are needed to really decide the outcome of the general meeting. As for voting, voting, various representations, etc., just think of it as farting.
Han You ran out of the palace like a maverick who lived in the secular world.
However, what he didn't know was that at this time, the few people he trusted the most in Taiqian Palace, at least one of the people he trusted the most, wanted to go against him.
Lao Ba had already stepped down from the dragon chair and was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed.
The bosses of the three provinces and several ministers looked at each other speechlessly.
"What do you think, sir?"
With his legs that looked like borrowed ones, he walked around the hall several times before he stopped and looked at everyone.
"The East China Sea is so dangerous that no one can imagine. When I was a naval officer, I knew how lawless the three East China Seas were. If Han You really went to the East China Sea, he would be hard-pressed to guard against open and hidden arrows. Do you still remember the officials of the former dynasty? Zhuang Hui, the doctor in the department."
The ministers were silent.
Remember, why didn’t you answer? At the end of the previous dynasty, it can be said that the court basically lost control of the East China Sea. Taxation, official appointments, various government orders, etc. were no longer a violation of Yang and Yin, but completely contrary to Yin... Oh yes, Yang Contrary to the truth, the Three Ways of the East China Sea are playing their own games and do not care about the imperial court at all. Even the most basic official appointments are "selected" by the Three Ways of the East China Sea themselves.
When the previous court saw that this situation was not going to work, they had to send people over to take care of it. In the end, Zhuang Hui, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the previous dynasty, went there.
Then... nothing happened, he died on the way.
People die years ago, corpses are found at the end of the year, and funerals are reported after the year.
At that time, the court had no idea how Zhuang Hui died. At any rate, he was a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They must send someone to investigate, and then send him to Chen Fei, the young minister of Dali Temple.
Then Chen Fei was not as good as Zhuang Hui. The body was not found and disappeared directly.
This made the court at that time angry, and the former emperor in a rage... pinched his nose and admitted it.
We have no choice but to hold our noses and realize what to do. We can't send the army over, just like the precarious bear. Once the army sets off, the internal problems will be solved. Needless to say, there will definitely be wars everywhere.
This is the situation in the Three Roads of the East China Sea. To say that it is a land outside the law is not entirely accurate. At least they practice Han rituals, speak Chinese, and recognize the imperial court. If they are in a good mood during the holidays, they can still give The imperial court counted the tax money, which was regarded as a reward for the imperial court's three melons and two dates. Everyone was very happy.
It must be said that that place is not a place outside the law. Whoever goes and who dies is unknown.
Let's just say that Han You went to Nandi before. There are many aristocratic families in Nandi. There are many aristocratic families, and there are also many soldiers in Zhechong Mansion. Han You brought military talismans and imperial edicts, and he would kill anyone who disobeyed. If he couldn't do it, he would transfer to Zhechong Mansion. If Zhe Chong Mansion is not easy to use, but those fierce soldiers from Nanguan can also enter the pass. It only takes a few days of riding on horseback.
If the aristocratic family in the Southland really offends the imperial court, it will be leveled if they send troops there. They have no place to run. Where to run? To the north are the three roads in the middle of Beijing. To the south, the Nanguan soldiers will be given. It's blocked.
This method is not easy to use in the East China Sea. East China Sea, where the sea is close to the sea, the boatmen are just like decorations. I don’t know how many aristocratic families colluded with the Japanese thieves. Many local aristocratic families still have sea ships. If you really think that the court is going to level them, just They boarded the ship and left. They went to Yingdao and were treated politely. Not only could they find an island to thrive, they would no longer be a family but pirates. The ship would be transformed into a privateer.
"Han You, the minister of Zhuguo, if there is any loss, it is my loss. It is a loss for the court and a great loss for the country. I have thought about it again and again, why not send another talented person."
Lao Ba frowned and looked at the big guys from the three provinces: "Is there any talented general in the court to pacify the East China Sea?"
The ministers still didn't speak.
They understood Lao Ba, and they didn't think so. If Han You went away like those unlucky guys from the previous dynasty and then died inexplicably, the consequences would be disastrous and many things would be delayed.
Many ministers had a good relationship with Han You in private, and they were also very worried.
The problem is that no matter how worried you are, Han You really has to go to this matter. If Han You can't go, no one will dare to go. If Han You can't handle it, no one can do it either.
When sending military generals, the generals have to lead the troops. To lead the troops, you have to deal with issues such as food, grass, dispatch, money, etc. If you don’t talk about other issues, just how many people to bring. If there are fewer people, it will not be enough. If there are too many people, It's not impossible for those people in Donghai to rebel directly in a hurry.
If you send civil servants there, you will be like those unlucky ones in the previous dynasty, and you will most likely end up dead.
In fact, not all civil servants are afraid of death. Even the old and important ministers like Taigandian, who are really greedy for life and afraid of death, will not be able to survive now. The problem is that they dare to go, but Lao Ba does not.
If Lao Ba just took out the imperial edict and military talisman and slapped it like Trust Han You, and said with a big grin, "Ai Qing, you can do whatever you want," then that's fine. Don't talk about others, Qian Ji , Zhao Tai, Wu Dingbi, Sun Shouting and others all dared to go.
The question is, do they dare? Do you dare?
The answer is obvious. Lao Ba doesn't dare. Let alone military talismans, he may not even be able to give a few imperial edicts.
This is the reason why everyone is silent. There is no way to recommend anyone, because Lao Ba will not believe anyone except Han You.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, if you really want to reorganize the navy..."
Qian Ji sighed: "Donghai's group is none other than Han You."
The ministers nodded slightly and agreed.
In addition to trust issues, there is also the ability to get things done.
There is one here, no matter what you say, I still admire Han You in my heart.
One of the characteristics of Han You's business is that it is cost-effective and its main focus is to use small things to create big thrills.
Firstly, you don’t need soldiers, and secondly, you don’t need money. Not only do you not need soldiers and money, but you can also make a lot of money. This is the case every time you run an errand. As long as Han You gets it done, the palace and the court will wait for the money to be counted.
Lao Ba was undecided.
Not to mention that after he ascended the throne, he rarely hesitated when he was a general. He would do whatever he decided to do. He had never regretted anything he said he had agreed to do like this time.
In the final analysis, I was still afraid that something might happen to Han You.
"His Majesty."
Zhao Tai spoke: "Donghai is already terminally ill, and Dangduan will continue to suffer from its chaos. If your Majesty is worried about Commander Han's safety, it is better to appoint him as a general and lead troops there, so that he can protect himself."
"I have never thought about it, but what is the official position and how many soldiers and horses are appropriate? If there are too many, the East China Sea dog will jump over the wall. If there are too few, how can Han You's safety be guaranteed?"
"I have a plan."
"Oh." Lao Ba looked at Zhao Tai: "Let's talk about it."
"Zhu Ying Supervisor is responsible for making gunpowder. It can be announced that the materials for making gunpowder need to be mined from the East China Sea, which requires a large number of manpower."
Zhao Tai smiled slightly: "To mine the materials for making gunpowder, we will bring the second battalion of 8,000 soldiers and horses, and 20,000 civilians. It's not too much."
