After sending off Bi Ziyan, Sun Chuanting and others, Zhu Xu returned to Dongnuan Pavilion, sat on a chair, and wiped the sweat on his face with a towel.

Cao Huachun stepped forward and told Zhu Xu about Cao Wenzhao's expulsion.

When Zhu Xu heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said, "He has a sense of proportion, no matter how grand he is, he doesn't care, formalism is unacceptable......"

Cao Huachun listened a little understanding, but also a little inexplicable, so he had to continue: "The Royal Government has cultivated some new rice in the greenhouse, and it is said that the effect is good, I want to invite the emperor to have a look." ”

Zhu Xu's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "Okay, tell Song Yingxing that I will go in a few days." ”

If Song Yingxing and others can really make some hybrid rice, it will be tantamount to a big change for Daming, and the importance is beyond words!

Cao Huachun waited for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, it is said that the Ministry of Industry has found some experienced craftsmen, improved some water windmills, and used livestock to pull water wheels for irrigation, which is said to save time and effort, and the effect is very good." ”

Zhu Xu immediately said: "Order the cabinet to commend it, don't be stingy, report it." ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu sat up, just picked up the notebook, and saw that Cao Huachun was silent, so he said, "No?" ”

Cao Huachun said, "Governor Cao has entered the palace and is now in the Generalissimo's Mansion." ”

Zhu Xu said 'um' and said, "Let him go shopping first, let people prepare boiling water, and I will take a bath later." ”

Cao Huachun responded, and then said: "Your Majesty, Cao Bianjiao, and Cao Mingjiao, the youngest son of Cao Dadu, are here. ”

Zhu Xu raised his head, thought for a while, and said, "Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao will take a bath with me, take a few little guys from Ye'er, and let Cao Mingjiao play with them." ”

Cao Huachun nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Although Cao Wenzhao is one of the four major generals of the Generalissimo's Mansion, he actually did not participate in the management, and this time he came, it was more of a symbol.

He took Cao Bianjiao, Cao Mingjiao waited in various departments and conference rooms, accompanied and introduced all the main things, and there was almost nothing hidden from Cao Wenzhao.

Cao Wenzhao came to the staff office, listened to the report of a staff officer inside, looked at Cao Bianjiao for a long time, and said, "Write it down, the emperor will definitely ask you later." ”

Cao Bianjiao was lean, with no expression on his face, he had always spoken little, and he only nodded when he heard the words.

Cao Mingjiao has a tiger head and a tiger brain, although he is six or seven years old, but he is more fun, and he sneaks around without paying attention, rummaging and searching, and tinkering.

After walking around the Generalissimo's Mansion, Cao Wenzhao calculated the time and rushed to the Qianqing Palace.

In the pool in the backyard of the Qianqing Palace, steaming, hot water flowed out of the wooden pipes and flowed into the sink with a bang.

Zhu Xu sat at the front, with a white towel on his face, soaking comfortably in the water.

Cao Wenzhao was very skilled, changed his clothes, wrapped himself in a white towel and went into the water, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the ministers also played such a groove in the army, but those boys are too dirty, every time they all turn into black water, how to change the water is useless......"

Cao Bianjiao was a little restrained, and it was the first time he was so close to Zhu Xu.

Cao Wenzhao was half immersed in the water, let out a long breath, turned to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, after more than a year of training, the army has begun to have combat strength, and all aspects are gradually maturing.......

"The country is not in a hurry,"

Zhu Xu took away the towel on his face and said: "I don't want to move yet, let them go internally, I want to go this time, mainly to deter, and turn Jiuguo Island into the tomb of the Japanese country......"

Cao Bianjiao straightened up and said, "The minister understands." ”

Zhu Xu rubbed the towel and said, "On the side of the Wa Kingdom, I'm not worried. I don't need you to take action in person, I plan to let the Mongol coalition army be the vanguard, and the navy will assist. ”

The Mongol tribes surrendered, and naturally they had to say that the Mongol combined cavalry had been formed in Guihua City, and there were currently 5,000 people, and in time, 10,000 people would be easy.

When the time comes, the khanates will come out with some more, plus the Japanese army on Jiuguo Island, it should be no problem to gather 30,000 people, with the advanced weapons of the Ming Dynasty, these 30,000 people will be the vanguard, with the assistance of the navy, step by step, one by one, whether it is Jiuguo Island or Shiguo Island, it will be easy.

Cao Wenzhao understood and said with a smile: "Yes, the minister understands." ”

He knows very well that this favorite thing is to kill people with a knife and preserve his strength.

Zhu Xu leaned into the water, and said, "Continue to train, train a few more times, wait another year, I will transfer your first royal army to Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, etc., you go all the way, seriously fight, test, no matter how well trained the army is, it is not as ......important as a fight."

Cao Wenzhao responded and said, "Yes, the minister understands." ”

Zhu Xu was not in the water, feeling the hot water, he secretly exhaled, and said: "Generalissimo Mansion, you don't care about it for the time being, Sun Ge Lao has worked hard, I don't plan to let him go to the office so early, I can't chill their hearts......"

Cao Wenzhao immediately continued: "The ministers just listen to the gossip outside. ”

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "Well, Sun Ge Lao is not in the capital, there are a lot of people from Mongolia, you go and see it, some money and other benefits, you can promise them, the main thing is to appease them, don't make trouble for me in the next seven or eight years, things, slowly give ......"

Cao Wenzhao understood, and said: "Yes, the ministers will feast these Mongolian princes later." ”

Zhu Xu soaked in the water, turned his head to look past Cao Wenzhao, looked at Cao Bianjiao, and said, "Can Wang Wensheng serve as the chief soldier of the combined fleet?" ”

Cao Bianjiao turned to Zhu Xu and said, "General Wang is determined to open up, marching fiercely, and the whole United Fleet respects him very much. Currently, the headquarters of the Combined Fleet is in Guangzhou, which is divided into three divisions, Jeju, Malacca, Ceylon. In addition, the Combined Fleet is planning to further expand outward, and is also making preliminary preparations such as gathering intelligence. The minister expects that by the end of next year, the combined fleet will be expanded to 50,000 people and more than 200 ships, which will have extremely strong control and influence over China's Daming sea area and to the south......"

Cao Bianjiao: This is a short report, and what he said is clearly organized.

Zhu Xu listened quietly for a while, and said with a smile: "That's good, what do you think about the Wa Kingdom?" ”

Cao Bianjiao said: "The minister has just seen their plan in the staff office, and the minister thinks that although their plan is detailed, it may not be applicable to the specific situation of the Japanese state, and the minister plans to go to the Satsuma domain to see it with his own eyes, and then make further plans, and the fleet will temporarily stay on Jeju Island for rest. ”

"Well, you're right, and I agree,"

Zhu Xu smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is no fight on the Wa side yet, after you and Su Yinyin get married, you will leave in a few days, the matter of the Wa State is over, you can go back to Beijing, go to the Generalissimo's Mansion, the people there, there are not many people who have not been through the war, you go, give them a little experience to supplement." ”

"Yes." Cao Bianjiao responded.

"Your Majesty, Sun Ge has returned to Beijing." As soon as Cao Bianjiao's voice fell, Cao Huachun's voice sounded outside the door.

Zhu Xu in the water raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's fast to come back, it seems that we can't take a good bath today." ”

Cao Wenzhao followed with a smile and said: "Elder Sun Ge's trip must be hard, and it is better for the emperor to meet him as soon as possible." ”

'Military reform' is basically promoted by Sun Chengzong and the Generalissimo's Office, Sun Chengzong has been outside all year long, and it is indeed hard work and hard work.
