Chapter 692: Two or Three Things Before the Expedition

Before the expedition, in fact, there were a lot of things, and Zhu Di had no time to deal with them, and planned to lose them to the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, but as the head of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di was not very relieved, so he wanted to tell some important people about some important things.

Zhu Gaochi was the first to enter the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Di only said one sentence: "I am not here, everything is more pre-planned, pre-emptive is established, more questions are asked, more questions are asked, no small matters are decided to ask the cabinet, major matters are not decided to ask the young master, if the cabinet and the young master do not have the same views......"

He groaned, "Ask Dusk." ”

Zhu Gaochi was shocked in his heart, according to his father's meaning, he didn't mind that he was in contact with dusk, the key was to listen to the meaning of his father's words, dusk had already surpassed Young Master Yao and become the real hidden phase of the Ming Dynasty!

He said urgently: "Erchen obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di waved his hand, "Give me a seat." "It means that Lao Tzu now wants to explain some things to the key courtiers, you give Lao Tzu a good study next to him, and strive to take Lao Tzu as an example and make progress every day.

After the crown prince, Yao Guangxiao was summoned in.

Zhu Di stared at this hero who rarely expressed his presence in the court after the martyrdom, and was silent for a while before he said: "Young Master, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, how do you think that after you get out of the customs, how to calm the desert north." ”

Yao Guangxiao raised his head, although his face was full of old age spots, his eyes were shining.

Seventy-three years old.

People live for seventy years, but Yao Guangxiao is still full of energy, and said in a deep voice: "On the Tatar side, because of the battle in Yumuchuan last year, Arutai's son died on the battlefield, according to the spy report sent back by my Ming Dynasty in Mobei, the culprit of this matter is the Tatar Khan Ghost Lichi's handwriting, in fact, it is not difficult to speculate, it is nothing more than a game of thrones, Ghost Lichi wants to take this opportunity to weaken Arutai, in order to grasp the real voice of Tatar, but unfortunately he underestimated Arutai, Now that the ghost is a stranger and Arutai are even strangers in private, they have swords and swords in private, and they privately think that the Tatars are not to be feared, and His Majesty will definitely win all the battles and break the Tatars, His Majesty can ignore the flattery of Warat or Uliangha, and choose to take advantage of the situation to conquer Warat or Uliangha, but in terms of terrain, His Majesty must attack Warat first. ”

Once the Tatars and Warat were broken, the Uliangha was the turtle in the urn, so that it could almost be won without a fight, and the Uliangha had to surrender obediently and be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

This situation was unimaginable before, and the best situation was to fight the Tatars, Warat, and Uliangha without any strength to invade the south, and obediently become poor neighbors of the Ming Dynasty.

But Yao Guangxiao, who has been watching Daming flourishing, knows that he can think about it now, not only can he think about it, but it is very likely to become a reality.

Because Daming has a Shenji camp, instant noodles, and money!

And all this is only because there are two people in Daming.

Zhu Di, dusk.

The former is in charge of the country and has the appearance of a bright monarch, and the latter is faintly the wind of the Ming Chen, and is always ahead of the world for a hundred years, as if taking this splendid Shenzhou as a chess, at the beginning of the game, more than a dozen chess pieces fell at dusk, and at this moment the opponent is still studying where to drop the first one, from this point of view, Yao Guangxiao once believed that dusk is the culmination of yin and yang, still above his old monk.

And Daming is rich, not only because of dusk, but also because Zheng He came back from the West.

The invincible armada of the Ming Dynasty conveyed the prestige and warmth of the Western countries.

All I brought back was real money.

This time to go to Mobei, it is best to win, if you can't win, the Ming Dynasty also has the money to build the Great Wall fortifications and build an impregnable defense line in the north.

Zhu Di bowed his head slightly when he heard this, "Indeed, if the Tatars are broken and the Warat is attacked again, the Wuliangha will be surrounded by the Ming Dynasty, and their only way out is to surrender, so that my Ming Xiongshi will also have one less battle, and there will be fewer soldiers and horses." ”

Zhu Di does have this plan.

But Yao Guangxiao shook his head, "The grassland tribe has always been the stubborn disease of my Central Plains Dynasty, if you rely on the situation to make them bow their heads, they can do it, but it will definitely not last long, Weichen thinks that Wuliangha should still fight, or rather, they should be completely subdued, so it is necessary to create such a situation, so in order to make Wuliangha have a fluke mentality of a war, Weichen thinks it is necessary to fight Wuliangha first, or ......"

Strike at the same time!

If the Tatars were defeated, then the battle-tested Great Ming Xiong Division would be qualified to fight at the same time.

Zhu Di was silent.

Yao Guangxiao said with a smile: "This matter is not urgent, Your Majesty can ask the Governor's Mansion and the Military Department of the Five Armies again, or ask Dusk?" ”

Zhu Di smiled, "Good." ”

Said to the second dog: "Xuan Sanbao." ”

After Zheng He came in, before he saluted, Zhu Di smiled and waved his hand, extremely favored, but this is also the status that Zheng Dajian should enjoy, only he and Zhu Di know in their hearts how much money they brought back from the West.

Not only can it support this expedition to Mobei, but even after the war, it can also build the Great Wall on a large scale!

An unimaginably large sum of money.

Zhu Di first asked a digression, "I have been busy before, but I never thought that Sanbao, when he went to the Western Ocean with the fleet, it seems that there are only merchant ships of the Times Merchant Bank, how did they earn this time?" ”

It's not "seemingly", it's absolutely.

After the establishment of Taizu, the ban on the sea, private overseas trade is against the Ming law, there are detailed cases in the "Great Message", there are also detailed punishment cases, the bloody cruel and vivid picture description, in the Hongwu period can deter everyone to engage in overseas trade, but after Zhu Di ascended the throne, without the deterrence of Taizu peeling and peeling the skin, some officials participated in overseas trade and gained benefits, because Zhu Di wanted to open the sea ban, and these vested interests wanted to jump out with the Taizu ancestral system, which made Zhu Di very passive.

So strictly speaking, Zheng He's trip to the West to find Emperor Jianwen was actually a royal smuggling.

Zheng He replied: "I make a lot of money, but the Times Trading House does more things, which is to find some rare crop products, and use money to recruit talented people from the West, and I don't know what medicine is sold in the dusk gourd." ”

"Quite a few" is actually a euphemism, compared to Your Majesty, Dusk earns less.

In fact, it also made a lot of money.

Zhu Di bowed his head, "After I set out on the expedition this time, you are ready to continue to go to the West, and the prince will fully cooperate with you in many things, huh...... Later, you will contact Twilight, and this time you will allow up to five merchant ships from the Times Comptoir, but this matter should be kept low-key. ”

Zhu Di has already tasted the sweetness of going to the West.

As for letting the Dusk Times Commercial House also get a piece of the pie, Zhu Di is sure that no matter how much money Dusk makes, he won't enjoy it alone - he can't enjoy it all, so it is better to let Dusk have more money to do things like "instant noodles".

The more things like this, the brighter the future of Daming will be.

Zheng He's command.
