The next morning, Yun Xi couldn't let his cronies rest at home, so he called the four auxiliary officials, the Zhongshu Sheren, the Tongshi Sheren, and several generals of the Ming Dynasty into the palace to discuss with them how to deal with the affairs of the Three Buddhas.

Of course, it is said that it is a discussion, but the tune Yun Xi has already been set, that is, he must intervene, and because of what Shi Jinqing said yesterday, Yun Xi has decided to send a prince to Nanyang, and he must prepare the prince in advance.

So what the ministers can discuss is how to intervene, which prince to use, and who to choose the king.

How to intervene, the ministers unanimously advocated saluting first and then soldiers, sending envoys to the Majapahit first, and if the Majapahit rejected the order of the Ming Dynasty to strike the army, then send troops to fight again, 'maintain peace and stability in the region'.

Then the serious civil officials who were already ready to admonish, such as Bang Zhao and Chen Xingshan, were relieved when they heard that Yun Xi did not plan to send Lu Shi to fight on Java Island. In fact, they were opposed to the intervention of the soldiers, but Yun Xi said that 'maintaining peace and stability in the surrounding areas is the responsibility of the Ming Dynasty', and they couldn't refute it, so they accepted it. But if they pay a huge price for it, they will have to admonish it.

In fact, in the past few days, there has been a lot of discussion among the civil officials about the affairs of the Three Buddhas, but because it is during the New Year's holiday, there is no excerpt, but they are all ready to go to work after the official start of work on the sixteenth day of the first month. They didn't expect Yun Xi to be in such a hurry to deal with this matter, and by the time they reached the sixteenth day of the first month, they estimated that the matter had already been decided.

Fang Xiaoru was very supportive of Yun Xi's crusade against the Majapahit Kingdom. Because for Fang Xiaoru, who upheld the Zhou rites, it was supposed for the Son of Heaven to crusade against the princes who were not subservient, and if the Majapahit did not obey the order of the Ming Dynasty to call it out, then it was a country that did not obey the vassals and should be defeated.

This also made Yun Xi firm in his mind to keep Fang Xiaoru in the cabinet, and Yun Xi even wanted Fang Xiaoru to serve as a waiter or Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites to improve his status. So far, the Confucian scholars of Fang Xiaoru's faction are the most supportive of many of Yunxi's reforms, and Yunxi has also reciprocated by promoting several officials recommended by Fang Xiaoru to the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple and other yamen, such as Hu Zizhao, Zheng Juzhen, Wang Jing, Wang Dayun and others.

Regarding the mobilization of the troops of the Nanyang vassal states in the event of a war, Fang Xiaoru also had the support of Fang Xiaoru, because this was originally a normal thing in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

After deliberation, it was decided to send envoys to the four vassal states of Siam, Luzon, Suventana (in the northern part of present-day Sumatra), and Huni (near Brunei) to send troops to help in the war.

Of course, in order to make these four countries 'willingly' help in the war, Yun Xi decided to divide the southbound sailors into two routes, one along the central south to the Manraka Strait and then to the Old Port, and all the way south from western Luzon to the Old Port through the state of Sora. At the same time, it is also a way to pick up the army they participated in the war and go with them.

As for the other three tributary countries in Nanyang, Annam, Champong, and Chenla, Yun Xi did not plan to mobilize the armies of these three countries in consideration of the final settlement of Annam in the future. And Annan has always been arrogant, even if he mobilizes his army, he may not listen, so don't provoke Annan in advance.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty will also dispatch the Lu Division. Even if you don't go to Java to fight, you have to wipe out the army of Majapahit that is already in the territory of Srivijaya.

Yun Xi originally wanted to mobilize the wolf soldiers of Guangxi to fight in line with the idea of cherishing the population; But he was immediately refuted by Fang Xiaoru. Fang Xiaoru said: "Your Majesty, this time the army is sent to crusade against the unministers, restore order, and make sure that the vassal kingdoms of Nanyang can see the military might of my Ming Dynasty; And the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, as far as the minister knows, the surrender has not been unruly for a long time, and the former Yuan used wolf soldiers to fight often looted everywhere he went, so it was better to appoint the guards of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Yun Xi thought about it for a while, and felt that since he wanted to canonize a prince in the past, it would be better for them to have a good impression of the Ming army, so he said in a good manner: "What Fang Qing said is good, I know." ”

In the end, after Yun Xi consulted with Zhang Wen and others, he decided to mobilize the guards of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division to participate in the war. In addition, with regard to the transfer of sailors, it was decided to mobilize the sailors in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to participate in the war.

Regarding the question of commanders, if it is left in modern times, the position of the commander-in-chief of a foreign war is estimated to be broken, and he must be a general to be a general; But at this time, everyone was not interested in going to Nanyang to fight, and they didn't think it was a big deal.

Still at the strong request of Yun Xi, Cao Zhen recommended Dongguan Bo He Rong as the commander, and added the title of General Pingnan, as the chief military officer, and commanded the army; Guangdong Metropolitan Commander Hua Rong's younger brother Hua Ying, Lan Zhen, Cao Zhen and others who had worked with him said that he was good, so Yun Xi decided to ask Hua Ying to go to Beijing to meet him, and he was almost decided to be the commander of the Lu Division, plus the deputy general. At the same time, Hua Ying is also a candidate for the future Left Minister of the Three Buddhas.

Regarding the commander of the water division, Yun Xi thought for a moment and said: "Jin Shanwei commanded Zhang Xiaodong to clear the pirates in the East China Sea last year, and he is also the person who has commanded the water division since the first emperor was alive, so take him as the commander of the water division and add the deputy general." ”

Since Yun Xi had personally named the candidates, Cao Zhen and the others felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so they naturally would not refute it, so they passed it like this.

The faction of these three people, He Rong is the old subordinate of Fu Youde, and after Fu Youde died, he gradually moved closer to Cao Zhen; The Hua family is a person who often meets spring, and now he is a person from Lan Zhen, but because the Hua family has been in Liangguang, the relationship with the Chang family and the Lan family is not very close.

Zhang Xiaodong has been in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he is Geng Bingwen's old subordinate. The three of them are not very close to each other, but they have no grudges, and He Rong, as an earl, can also suppress the two of them, without worrying about tearing each other down, and can ensure the smooth completion of the task.

At the same time, in order to let Zhang Xiaodong command the sailors to be able to command the sailors, he mainly used the sailors in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to fight; However, in this way, the sailors in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to guard against pirates were not enough, and Yunxi ordered some of Fujian's sailors to temporarily go north after the war.

After that, it was time to discuss who the envoys were to be sent out to Majapahit first. This man would set out after the New Year to announce the decree of Yoon-hee to the king of the kingdom of Majapahit.

Yun Xi doesn't care much about this candidate, he will definitely not succeed anyway, and he will definitely fight. But the civil servants still attach great importance to it. After discussion, Yang Zai, the pedestrian Si Si Zheng, was the envoy to the Manchu Boyi country to promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
