Zhang Dingbian left, in order to find the old department to inquire about the news of the Japanese invaders, he did not hesitate to personally go to the coast of Fujian, it is said that the old department of Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang was mainly concentrated in that area after going to sea, and it was also the main activity area of the Japanese invaders, and every time the Japanese went ashore to loot, almost all started from there.

However, Zhang Dingbian has been gone for half a month, and there has been no news coming, at first Li Jie was full of confidence, thinking that Zhang Dingbian would definitely come back, but as time went by, he couldn't help but secretly wonder if Zhang Dingbian would lie to himself and not come back if he left, right?

"Boy, don't wait any longer for Zhang Dingbian, maybe he really doesn't plan to come back, you can help me see this strategy for strengthening coastal defense, is there anything else to add?" Tang He found Li Jie on this day and handed him a prepared document.

"So fast?" Li Jie was also very surprised when he received the paperwork, strengthening coastal defense is not a matter of one sentence, but to take into account the influence of all aspects, and even during this time, Tang He also sent a lot of people to personally inspect various places, according to his estimate, it will take a month or two at the earliest to come up with a feasible strategy.

"No, no, last time the Japanese came menacingly, and they obviously came prepared, but we couldn't even find their main force, God knows when they will come again?" Tang He also sighed when he said this.

The last time the Japanese invaded, they almost toyed with them in applause, for which Li Jie and Tang He concluded that there must be someone in Ningbo Mansion who secretly communicated with the Japanese Kou, and this person's identity was not low, otherwise their whereabouts would not be so clear, and the reason why the Japanese invaded Jintang Island the day after they arrived in Ningbo was to demonstrate to them and hit their morale.

"By the way, has the person who had an affair with the Japanese found out?" Li Jie did not rush to open the paperwork, but asked again with concern, after concluding that someone in Ningbo Mansion had an affair with the Japanese Kou, Tang He poured the blood on the dogs scolded by Jiang Zhen and his Jinyi guards, and limited them to find this spy at the end of this month, and the calculation time was almost over.

Hearing Li Jie mention the matter of spies, Tang He also snorted angrily and said: "Jinyi Wei are all a bunch of waste, and they usually scream very loudly, but when it comes to using them, they are not used at all, and I haven't been able to find out any useful news until now!" ”

Li Jie also shook his head secretly when he heard this, Jiang Zhen was seriously injured last time, and he gave him a few stitches, but even so, Jiang Zhen still dragged the injured body around to investigate, but unfortunately that spy was hidden very deeply, and it involved Ningbo officialdom, so it was naturally more difficult to investigate, so it was normal to not find it for a while.

At that moment, Li Jie opened Tang He's strategy of strengthening coastal defense, but he frowned as soon as he saw the first one, because Tang He actually wanted to build fifty-nine cities along the coast in order to strengthen coastal defense, and the so-called cities were actually fortresses, and according to different scales, different numbers of soldiers were stationed in them.

It can be said that Tang He used these 59 fortresses to connect them into a coastal Great Wall, and the fortresses were lined up along the coast and connected into a large net.

I have to say that although Tang He's method is very stupid, it does have an effect, in the original history, he seems to have done this, and the fortress built is also very strong, it is said that when Qi Jiguang resisted the Japanese later, these fortresses can still play a role.

However, it must cost a lot to build so many fortresses, even if most of the coastal state capitals are relatively wealthy, this expenditure is also a big burden for them, and it will take a lot of time to build the fortress, and in case the Japanese invade, they still have no effective way.

Too passive! This is Li Jie's view on this first article, it is not enough to just take a defensive position against the Japanese Invaders, after all, no matter how tightly you defend, there are still some loopholes, and you can defend for a year, two years, and ten or eight years, but it is impossible to defend passively forever, so the later Wolves will become more and more troublesome.

Thinking of the above, Li Jie also shook his head secretly, and then he looked at the second one, but when he saw this one, he stood up with a "rubbing", looked up with a resolute face and said: "I don't agree with this!" ”

"What do you disagree with?" Tang He, who was leisurely tasting tea, was also stunned, he asked Li Jie to read this document, mainly to go through the motions, after all, Li Jie is the deputy envoy, and these things also need to make him take a stand, but he didn't expect Li Jie to speak against it.

"Moving the coastal islanders inward is simply cutting off the people's livelihood, who came up with this solution?" Li Jie also pointed to the second path on the document angrily.

The second article of this strengthening coastal defense is simply beyond Li Jie's imagination, because it is to let the islanders move inward, and the following also lists which places need to be relocated, such as Zhoushan Island, there are more than 10,000 households on the island, nearly 40,000 people, and they all have to move to the counties in eastern Zhejiang, leaving only one Changguowei to garrison, which is simply cutting off the people's way of life, after all, these people live by the sea, and how should they live when they leave their hometown?

"What's wrong with this method, there are people along the coast who collude with the Japanese invaders, so Lao Tzu thought of such a way to move them all inward, and then see who else can report the Japanese invaders?" Tang He Wenyan was also stunned, this method was personally thought up by him, he was still very proud of his wit, but he didn't expect Li Jie to be so opposed.

"You're choking! Just because there are people along the coast who have fornicated with the Japanese bandits, all the people in the coastal areas should be moved to the interior, and these people live on the sea for their livelihood, so how can they live in the interior? And how do you place them? These are all problems! Li Jie really couldn't cry or laugh, but he still explained patiently.

"Hmph, Lao Tzu, this is killing two birds with one stone, there are no people along the coast, and the Japanese will have nothing to rob, and they will starve to death if they are hungry!" Tang He's eyes widened, and he said very stubbornly.

The policy of relocating coastal people to the interior may seem very outrageous to later generations, but it really happened in history, and it was the decision made by Zhu Yuanzhang and Tang He, such as Zhoushan, for example, more than 30,000 people on the island were all moved to eastern Zhejiang and even Fengyang, leaving only a few thousand people of Changguowei for the purpose of guarding against the Japanese invaders.

"I ......" Li Jie wanted to scold people angrily when he heard Tang He's words, and he also found out for the first time that Tang He, the old man, was simply too stubborn, and it didn't make sense to reason with him at all.

"Grandpa Tang, maybe there will be news from Master Mu Jiao's side soon, if you can find out the nest of the widows and exterminate them in one fell swoop, then there will be no need to relocate the people, after all, this kind of labor and money, unless you have to do it, it's better not to do it!" Li Jie finally held back his anger and said softly again.

"No, even if Zhang Dingbian can really find the nest of the Japanese invaders, but after clearing this batch, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be another batch of Japanese robbers in the future, for the sake of long-term planning, it is only right to move the people into the inland!" Tang He refused without hesitation.

"I ...... I would never agree to this! Li Jie finally couldn't help it, and immediately objected loudly, the issuance of this decree is simple, but it is related to the livelihood of hundreds of people, if it is really a big migration, you don't have to think about it to know, there must be countless people who have died because of this!

In addition, Li Jie also thought that as soon as this decree came out, it also represented that the Ming Dynasty had completely abandoned the sea, and the Ming Sea Ban had reached a peak, which was a major event that affected the fate of the entire Chinese nation.

"Boy, remember your identity, you are just a deputy envoy, Lao Tzu is the main envoy, so I have the final say in this matter!" Tang He snatched the paperwork and said angrily again, turning around and leaving, it seemed that he was going to release these strategies.

Li Jie was in a hurry, reached out and grabbed Tang He's sleeve and stopped: "Grandpa Tang, don't force me, I won't let you do this matter no matter what!" ”

Tang He didn't expect Li Jie to dare to talk to him like this for a decree, and immediately pushed Li Jie away angrily and scolded: "Get out, it's not your turn to point fingers at Lao Tzu!" ”

Li Jie was also pushed by Tang He, and only then did he stand firm when he hit the table behind him, and the angry Li Jie instinctively grabbed the inkstone on the table and roared: "Tang He, if you really dare to make this decree, Lao Tzu will fight with you!" ”

Seeing Li Jie holding the inkstone, Tang He was angry, and then pointed at Li Jie and said: "Boy, you have a long ability, dare to follow Your Majesty to learn to throw things, come, I want to see how you fight with me?" ”

Li Jie looked at the inkstone in his hand, remembering the scene when he was smashed by Zhu Yuanzhang with the inkstone that day, and his face was also a little embarrassed, but this also calmed him down, and immediately stared at Tang He with a gloomy face: "Grandpa Tang, you are my elder, I didn't want to make things too stiff, but if you dare to make this decree today, then don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!" ”

"Yoh? You turn your face and let me see, I have made up my mind about this decree, what can you do with me? Tang He was not in a hurry to leave at this time, but looked at Li Jiedao with a good face.

In the eyes of others, Li Jie is His Majesty's grandson-in-law, and he is the prince's henchman, and his future is limitless, but in Tang He's eyes, Li Jie is not a threat to him at all, after all, he is Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted person, he grew up with Zhu Yuanzhang with his bare butt since he was a child, plus he is the founder of the country, not to mention Li Jie, even the prince Zhu Biao treats him politely.

I saw Li Jie standing up straight at this time, looking at Tang He with a faint gaze: "Grandpa Tang, you have made great achievements in battle, and you are the most trusted person of Your Majesty, even if you really issue this decree today, I can't do anything with you." ”

"Haha, it's good that you know, boy!"

Tang He also laughed proudly when he heard this, but before his laughter could land, Li Jie interrupted him again in a cold voice: "But Grandpa Tang, don't forget, there is one thing on me that you can't compare!" ”

"What?" Tang He also felt that something was not quite right at this time, with his understanding of Li Jie, if he didn't rely on it, he would never say such a thing.

"I'm only sixteen years old, and I'm as old as your grandson!" Li Jie straightened his clothes and continued with a confident expression, "And you? If I'm not mistaken, you're sixty-five years old, right? ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Tang He's face was also gloomy at this time, because he had vaguely guessed the meaning of Li Jie's words.
