Zhu Xu listened to Qin Liangyu's words and smiled.

This old general has been loyal and martyred all his life, and his name in history is not for nothing.

The two were about to arrive at Xihua Gate, Zhu Xu pondered for a while, and said, "What does the old general think about me leaving Rui Zheng?" ”

Rui Zheng, Ma Xianglin's word.

This is also Qin Liangyu's heart, and when he heard this, he said: "The minister doesn't have any ideas. ”

Zhu Xu's brows moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu's expression was calm, straight in the eyes, and frank.

Zhu Xu was awe-struck, turned around with a smile, and said, "The Generalissimo's Mansion has left me a 'Royal Legion', General Ruizheng is known as 'Little Pony Chao', and I am ready to let him lead a cavalry." The commander of the forbidden army is indeed too eye-catching, and I have not thought it through, so let them stay in the military academy for half a year first, and then go to Yun. South, lead an army, how about this? ”

Qin Liangyu's heart was shocked, he knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is the emperor on behalf of my son!" ”

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "No courtesy." ”

Then, he looked outside the Xihua Gate and said angrily: "The mountains and rivers are long, thousands of miles away, and the old general will take care." ”

Qin Liangyu had already noticed that the emperor in front of her seemed to rely on her more than ordinary courtiers, which made her more in awe of Zhu Xu, more loyal to Daming, and sworn to fight to the death!

Zhu Xu naturally never thought of this, purely out of respect for this old general, she is the most brilliant, intense, and dazzling stroke on the vast picture scroll in the late Ming Dynasty in history!

Later generations commented on the generals of the late Ming Dynasty, no matter who they were, they all had both reputations, but Qin Liangyu was the only one, and few people were willing to criticize her with derogatory words.

This is a heart-wrenching and respectable person!

Zhu Xu has a different emotion for Qin Liangyu, which is pure without impurities. He didn't even realize how 'excessive' his performance was.

originally wanted to send Qin Liangyu out of the city, but was rejected by Qin Liangyu, plus Cao Bianjiao, Tang Wang, Xiong Tingbi and others arrived, Zhu Xu had to stop at Xihuamen.

"The minister is here, and the land of Shaanxi and Sichuan will be safe, and the emperor will never be worried in the slightest in his lifetime! The Ma family is in Shaanxi, and the liver and brain are smeared to defend the Ming Dynasty! ”

Qin Liangyu's voice like a golden stone was still echoing in Zhu Xu's ears, and the carriage had already gone out and was invisible.

Zhu Xu's expression was stunned, and he stopped still.

Cao Huachun and the others stood not far behind Zhu Xu, watching Zhu Xu not move for a long time, and stood silently.

They had long noticed that Zhu Xu attached different importance to Qin Liangyu, and although they were curious, they never asked more.

After a long while, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, General Cao Bing, Tang Wang, and Xiong General Bing have all arrived." ”

Zhu Xu took a deep breath and said, "Well, let's go." ”

A group of people turned around and did not go back to the Qianqing Palace, but went to Wucheng Pavilion.

The cabinet and the Generalissimo's Mansion are under construction, and they will not be completed in two or three months, and Cao Bianjiao and others are now in the staff office of Wucheng Pavilion, which is already the highest place of the Ming Dynasty's military strategy.

"Ministers and others see the emperor!"

As soon as Zhu Xu entered the door, a group of people inside immediately got up, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice.

Zhu Xu walked to the main seat and sat down, and said to a group of people, "Sit down, Cao Bianjiao, tell me about the United Fleet first." ”

Also present were Tang Wang, Xiong Wencan, Qian Jinxiao, director of the General Staff Office, and others.

Cao Bianjiao was more capable and sassy than before, standing upright, faintly with the smell of the sea, he said, "Yes." Your Majesty, at present, the combined fleet, with my Ming Dynasty as the mainstay, has joined more than 10 countries, in addition to the neighboring Burma, Siam, Cambodia, as well as Ceylon outside Malacca, England in Xiyi, the Netherlands, the Big and Small Franc Machine, etc., with 180 warships, 500 cannons, and 25,000 soldiers. The money and grain are mainly subscribed by the United States, plus some inputs, and in addition to their own use, they have already made a surplus of more than 2 million yuan this year...... At present, the farthest range of activities of the combined fleet is the Safavid Dynasty, west of Ceylon, where the Three Treasure Eunuchs had arrived, and the Safavid Dynasty also agreed to send envoys to our Ming Dynasty to show the intention of repairing transportation, and the others include, Mughal and some large and small countries, a total of more than 30 countries, they expressed interest in the combined fleet...... The minister's plan for the combined fleet is to strengthen the army, form a powerful combined fleet, constantly explore outward, build shipping routes, establish solid and unbreakable land and sea bases in various places, expand the scope of activities of the combined fleet, and develop various sources of military spending......"

Cao Bianjiao obviously didn't know how to make a report, and what he said was a little messy, but Zhu Xu had already read the script before, and now it was clearer.

There are many Xiyi people in the Combined Fleet, they are more familiar with this world, the sea routes, and they are showing the United Fleet, although they have their intentions, but they do open a new door for the Combined Fleet, and enter a different world.

Tang Wang, Xiong Wencan, Qian Jinxiao and others listened silently, they had discussed it before, looked at the sea chart, and already had a general understanding, with different expressions.

Half an hour later, after Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, Zhu Xu did not rush to conclusions, looked at Xiong Wencan, Tang Wang, and said, "Talk about the navy." ”

Xiong Wencan didn't move, Tang Wang got up and said, "Yes." The navy currently has 50,000 troops, with a total of 100,000, and there are naval bases in the north from Vladivostok to Ceylon in the south...... The main control method is still to point to surface, slowly drawing ......"

"Since October last year, the navy has harvested as much as 7 million taels of silver and 3 million stone of grain from various places in various ways, basically maintaining self-sufficiency......

"The navy and the combined fleet exchanged information, and large-scale displays of force and attacks were carried out in various places, and from the east of the Safi Kingdom, our Ming army was as powerful as fire, and the emperor's might was mighty......"

"The merchant ships and fleets of the Xiyi countries have joined forces with our fleet and navy to have an 'alliance', and the scope of activities is unprecedented......"

"The navy has developed rapidly, and the ministers plan to continue to expand the size of the navy, and the bases in various places have been continuously expanded and increased, and the income of each place is considerable......

Zhu Xu looked at King Tang and listened quietly.

This prince of Tang Wang, who was almost starved to death by his biological father, has grown up to be fluent, with bright eyes, and quite talented.

Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was still talking in Kaikai, full of expectations for the future of the navy...... Ambition!

Zhu Xu's expression was calm, he had known what Tang Wang said for a long time, and now he was listening to a more detailed and thorough report.

After more than an hour, Tang Wang stopped dryly, looked at Zhu Xu with hot eyes, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now the world is ignorant and unreachable, and I, as China, am a holy place, so I should shoulder the responsibility and spread the teachings of the saints, so that the people of the world can get rid of ignorance, understand the power of our emperor, and the ......enlightenment of the saints."

This sentence is not in the book, Zhu Xu looked at Tang Wang in some surprise, and his eyes showed a different color.

This kind of rhetoric, although different from the missionary's kind of 'spreading the gospel of God's light,' is also the same. And the purpose behind it is exactly the same!

Zhu Xu's face was as usual, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

King Tang looked at Zhu Xu's fleeting smile, his expression was greatly lifted, and he said: "Your Majesty, please expand the navy, I am Daming, at least three navies are needed!" ”

Now there is no need for Zhu Xu to do many things himself, teaching these adults bit by bit.

Zhu Xu smiled, turned to Qian Jinxiao, and said, "What does the staff office think?" ”

Qian Jinxiao came out of the Royal Military Academy, his horizons were broader, if he had changed ordinary people, he would have been confused, he was as usual, and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have carefully studied the situation of the whole world in the past few days, Xiyi and other countries are just a small land, with a population of less than one million, but they have occupied several times the land of my Ming Dynasty, dozens of times the population of my Ming Dynasty, and the whole world except for my Ming Dynasty is their territory, and in the long run, my Ming Dynasty is in danger!" Yes, the ministers and others suggested that if our Ming Navy wants to expand the chart, it must be preempted before these Xiyi to spread the sanctification of our Ming Dynasty and the benevolence of the emperor, so that we will not be in danger without knowing it, we cannot respond, and we cannot win......"

"Is there a specific plan?" Zhu Xu said.

Qian Jinxiao may not know Zhu Xu, but Cao Bianjiao, Tang Wang, Xiong Wencan and others all feel that Zhu Xu is deliberately taking the school exam.

Qian Jinxiao did not have much contact with Zhu Xu, and when he heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have looked at the maps of various places sent by the Intelligence Department, especially the sea charts, combined with my current situation, the ministers believe that the development of the combined fleet is a sharp weapon, which needs to be vigorously invested and expanded. The navy is even more so, for some important places, ports, bases, fortresses, especially rivers, the middle of some continents, more important than the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty...... In some supply places on the way by sea, they must also be controlled by my Daming......"

Qian Jinxiao didn't care whether Zhu Xu was taking the school entrance examination, he combined the ideas of the General Staff Office, and talked in detail with the Military Academy, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Tang Wang's and others, and then came to such a conclusion.

He is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is not as apprehensive as ordinary military and political officials see Zhu Xu, and he is calm as usual.

Zhu Xu's eyes showed a hint of discoloration, and he couldn't help but look at this Qian Jinxiao a little, and then looked at Cao Bianjiao, Tang Wang and others.

All along, he has been forcing these civil and military generals to do things, almost one step at a time, pushing and walking. Today, seeing that these people can say such insightful and far-sighted words, he is actually a little uncomfortable.

He didn't speak immediately, sat down in his chair, and thought.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty is still in the primitive stage of development, and it has never experienced a serious naval battle, and the earth is so big that it can't be taken into account at all, so it can only be slowly plotted from point to point.

These people are not talking or motivating, but their methods are surprisingly consistent with his.

They are to 'guard' and ensure the safety of the Ming Dynasty, what Zhu Xu wants is world leadership, but the current approach is the same, control strategic points, strengthen himself, and see the world clearly!

"It's not enough!"

Zhu Xu suddenly spoke, his tone was as sharp as a sword, and said: "Our strategic goals and ambitions are not enough, the Xiyi people can occupy so many places and rule so many people, why can't I be Ming?" What we bring with us is benevolence, it is the enlightenment of the saints, who will make them get rid of ignorance and enlighten current affairs, why not! ”

As soon as Zhu Xu's voice came out, everyone present was a little stunned except for Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Bianjiao has been by Zhu Xu's side for many years and has some understanding of his behavior and habits, but others are different.

Most of these people were scholars, and Confucianism did not have the gene for expansion, and they instinctively rejected this idea, and then resisted it.

Therefore, in all dynasties, except for the two generations of emperors who founded the country, they could still have some opinions and suppress the conservative ideas of civil officials, and future generations could not do anything at all.

The same is true of the Ming Dynasty, since the ancestor Zhu Di, the strategy of the Ming Dynasty has been shrinking, unless it is cold lips and teeth, hitting the eyes, the outside world is basically able not to look at it, no matter how uncomfortable it is, it is also a blind eye.

Drift along.
