"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Concubine Chen gave birth to a little prince!"

"Really? Great, hug me and show it! ”

"Hehe, it's like me! Not bad, not bad! ”

Zhu Yunwen hugged the child, looked at the child's small mouth and nose, and felt very cute, this is his fourth son, he has already thought of a name, called Zhu Wenjun.

Just when he was complacent, the chief eunuch Liu Zhen walked in and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Wuding requests to be summoned!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"The Marquis of Licheng sent a military report from North Korea!"

"Oh," Zhu Yunwen nodded, "I'll go over in a while." ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Yunwen walked to the inner room with the child in his arms, and when he saw Xu Miaojin who was lying on the bed with a pale face, he found that she had fallen asleep, and couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty," Wen Po hurriedly agreed: "Niang Niang is too tired after giving birth, and she has fallen asleep!" ”

"Oh, I know, you have to be careful, in addition, the hospital must be on call at any time, Concubine Chen's mother and son can't have any problems, do you understand?"

"Your Ministers obey!"

Zhu Yunwen handed over the child to Mrs. Wen, and then lowered her head and whispered in Xu Miaojin's ear: "I have something to deal with, I'll come to see you later!" ”

Then, Zhu Yunwen said a few more words to Queen Ma Hui before turning around and leaving.

......

"Your Majesty, the great victory of the Japanese Kingdom!"

"Really? I'll take a look! ”

Zhu Yunwen took the military newspaper, read it carefully, and then put down the military newspaper, a smile appeared on his face: "Not bad!" Not bad! After planning for a year in vain, Sheng Yong and Qu can do a good job! I've got a reward! ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Looking at the people who were kneeling on the ground, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "You all get up, don't be polite!" ”

"By the way, what do you think about the invitation of the Marquis of Licheng?"

Guo Ying thought for a while, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, according to the battle report, the losses of our army are not large, and the supplies are also sufficient, so the old minister thinks that he can attack the four countries, but he needs to be cautious when attacking Honshu!" After all, our army is a cross-sea expedition! ”

"Well, I know, what about the others?"

Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with General Guo's opinion, and the expedition across the sea should be cautious!" ”

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, and then looked at Song Sheng, Wu Gao, Geng Xuan, Xu Huizu and others: "What are your opinions?" ”

"The old minister thinks it's better to be cautious!" This is the superintendent Shangshu Song Sheng.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" This is the military quartermaster Wu Gao.

......

"The last general thought that he should attack not only Shikoku, but also the Japanese country's main state."

Hearing the opposition, everyone couldn't help but turn around and look, it turned out to be Geng Xuan, Marquis of Changxing.

I saw Geng Xuan clasping his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Kyushu and Shiguo are both high-incidence areas of the Japanese invaders, and if you control these two places, the problem of the Japanese invaders should be solved." ”

"However, the purpose of our army's conquest is not so, Ashikaga Yoshishi is full of wolf ambitions, not only attacking my Ming navy, but also intending to assassinate Your Majesty, this person does not surrender to the law for a day, and my Ming must not stop fighting!"

"Moreover, the Wa Kingdom is afraid of power but not virtue, and if they don't hurt it, they can't cede Iwami Province at the same time."

"In addition, our army won because the navy is strong, but our naval fleet cannot be stationed in the Japanese country for a long time, if it is not completely surrendered, once our navy withdraws, the Japanese country will inevitably start a war again, it is better to completely solve it at one time!"

When they heard that Geng Xuan said that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu must subdue the law, some people immediately whispered, and Zhu Yunwen felt that they wanted to oppose it, but when they heard that the Japanese country might fight back, everyone immediately stopped talking and began to think seriously about this issue.

If the situation described by Geng Xuan really occurs, the navy will be dispatched again? How long does that take to prepare? How much does it cost?

"Well, I know, what does Wei Guogong mean?"

Xu Huizu stood up and said loudly: "The last general agrees with the opinion of the Marquis of Changxing, the capture of Kyushu and Shikoku is far from enough to make the Wa Kingdom submit, as long as Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is in power, it is impossible for him to come to Daming to die, so we must continue to put pressure on the Wa State and let them understand that it is powerful, so that they will agree to the conditions of ceding my Daming!" ”

After Xu Huizu finished speaking, everyone was silent, and Guo Ying, Song Sheng and others looked at each other and exchanged glances.

In the end, Qi Tai stood up again: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that although there is some truth in what the Marquis of Changxing and Wei Guogong said, but it only took eleven days for the Marquis of Licheng to surrender Kyushu, and the Wa Kingdom should have been frightened, and Ashikaga Yoshinori was captured by our army, he should have been bold, if he is put back, he will benefit Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu may not surrender!" ”

Surprisingly, veteran Guo Ying raised objections.

"Never! As the saying goes, one day of the enemy, several generations of trouble, the old minister heard that Ashikaga Yoshimochi has always been dissatisfied with my Ming Dynasty, and did not support his father to my Ming Dynasty, so the wolf son of the ambitious generation, categorically can not let it go back. ”

"yes, you can't put it back!"

"The last general is against it!"

......

After a fierce debate, Zhu Yunwen finally made a decision: Shikoku Island must be occupied, and Honshu can wait for an opportunity to capture it, but it must be cautious.

At the same time, Zhu Yunwen ordered the household department and the quartermaster department to continue to allocate materials and expeditions, and what they fought was grain, grass and materials!

......

After the meeting ended, Guo Ying took the initiative to stay, saying that there was something to report.

"What's the matter, General Guo?"

"Your Majesty," Guo Ying stood up and arched his hand: "The old minister is now in his prime, and he has gradually felt that his energy is low and his health is not good, so he wants to resign from the post of staff secretary, return to his hometown Fengyang, and retire for the rest of his life!" ”

"I hope Your Majesty will grant permission!" While speaking, Guo Ying knelt down and kowtowed.

Resign?

Zhu Yunwen was stunned, he didn't expect Guo Ying to take the initiative to resign, but it's normal to think about it, last winter, Guo Ying was seriously ill, and his health was not as good as before, today when he looked closely, Guo Ying looked even thinner, a little rickety, and his hair was all white!

However, Guo Ying is gone, who will replace him?

Zhu Yunwen hesitated for a moment and said, "Old general, please get up!" Throne! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The old general is in poor health, I can understand, but who can replace you?"

"Everything has His Majesty's holy judgment, and the old minister doesn't dare to put his beak."

"It's okay, you can talk about it!"

Regarding this issue, Guo Ying has actually thought about it carefully, but he doesn't know whether to say it or not.

Guo Ying hesitated for a long time and said, "Governor Mo Ruojun, please Your Majesty Holy Judge!" ”

"Alas," Zhu Yunwen sighed, he found that this Guo Ying was too cautious, his words were all said to this point, and he still refused to say it.

"What do you think of the fairness and security of Yiguo?"

"This, Yi Guogong has a strong temperament and is brave, so he is a more suitable candidate."

"What about Hou Shengyong of Licheng?"

"The Marquis of Licheng has made outstanding achievements in war, and it is more suitable to make good use of firearms."

"What about Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei?"

"Wei Guogong is cautious and careful, and he is more suitable!"

"What about Changxing Hou Geng Xuan?"

"Although the Marquis of Changxing is a concubine, he is brave and proficient in strategy, so he is a more suitable candidate."

......

After Guo Ying retreated, Zhu Yunwen fell into deep thought, who is more suitable, Ping'an, Sheng Yong, Xu Huizu, or Geng Xuan?

The next day, the staff officer Shangshu begged for the bones, Zhu Yunwen allowed it, and Guo Ying got up and returned to his hometown in Fengyang on the same day.

On the same day, Zhu Yunwen issued an edict stating that the military commander should make the term of office of officers above the rank of five years at the highest term, and they should not be reappointed at the end of the term.

The next day, Zhu Yunwen appointed Xu Huizu as the staff secretary, and Geng Xuan as the staff officer, presiding over the work of the staff department.

In the end, Zhu Yunwen ordered Sheng Yong to continue to attack the Wa Kingdom until it surrendered!
