Chapter 197: The Discussion of the Conquest of Burma
"Back to Your Majesty, the soldiers are ready, and they are stepping up training, although they dare not say that they are victorious, but they are all capable soldiers." Bai Wenxuan answered truthfully.
"Hmm." Seeing this, Zhu Youlang nodded lightly: "For the Northern Expedition on the sea, there are two key points, first, to attack Dongshan Tianjin from Tamluo, and second, North Korea to enter from the northeast. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Youlang looked at Liu Wenxiu: "For the Northern Expedition at sea, Liu Aiqing uses more snacks, and must be uniformly dispatched, and for the army that enters the Northeast from Korea, it should be dominated by cavalry." ”
Speaking, Zhu Youlang looked at the southwest: "When the horse merchants in Sichuan are heavily rewarded, so that they can sell Mongolian horses to prepare for the army, and moreover, they can also be sold to breed horses and let them be raised in Annan Horse Breeding Land." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Everyone said in unison.
"Your Majesty." As soon as the words stopped, Qu Shiyun immediately stood up: "Now we should reorganize the army to prepare for the Northern Expedition." ”
"Agreed." As soon as Qu Shiyun's words fell, everyone spoke up.
Seeing this, Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "Call you here, I have this intention."
As he spoke, Zhu Youlang pulled out a list: "From the armies, the tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth divisions will be reorganized." ”
After that, Zhu Youlang handed over the list to Liu Wenxiu: "The tenth capital is commanded by Lu Mingchen, Feng Shuangli is the twelfth capital, Long Lin is the thirteenth capital, Luo Rong is the fourteenth capital, and as for the eleventh capital, it is the Burmese capital, and Mu Tianbo is also the commander. ”
After everyone watched the list, except for the cabinet ministers, their faces couldn't tell whether they were happy or disturbed, and the rest of them were overjoyed.
"Your Majesty, can the current Ming treasury support such a large army."
Looking at Lu Daqi, Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "Lu Aiqing doesn't have to worry."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Youlang looked at everyone, and said with a straight face: "Jiuzhendi, my original intention was to crown Mu Tianbo as the king of Jiuzhen, but Mu Tianbo is not subject to it, you all rule according to the prefecture, county and state, the people of all places." ”
"Your Majesty." Zhu Tianlin continued: "Your Majesty, the Annan Prefectures have set up prefectures, counties and prefectures according to Your Majesty's orders, and they are also implementing the system of guards, and a total of 3 million displaced people have been implemented here. ”
"Hmm." Zhu Youlang nodded slightly and said: "You have done a good job, the matter of Annan is over, and it is a waste of military strength for Li Chengdong and other troops to stay in Annan."
As he spoke, Zhu Youlang stared at Myanmar: "I am ready to send troops to Myanmar." ”
As soon as these words came out, Qu Shiyun and other ministers were shocked, and they all knelt in front of Zhu Youlang: "Your Majesty, now the Tartars are the enemy, and there must be no more incidents. ”
Zhu Youlang looked at everyone with a serious face, and said in an irrefutable tone: "The matter of conquest of Burma will not change, you must remember the three declarations and six consolations."
Speaking, Zhu Youlang looked at Liu Wenxiu: "For the conquest of Burma, I let Mu Tianbo and Li Chengdong Pi Xiong be the main generals, and the soldiers led by Pi Xiong are all Ming soldiers who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in the old days, and the matters to which they belong are discussed by the Governor's Mansion and the three staff departments of the Ministry of War. ”
"Obey." As soon as Zhu Youlang spoke, Liu Wenxiu understood what Zhu Youlang meant.
Zhu Youlang waved his hand lightly: "Go down, you must plan a good strategy to conquer Burma, this expedition does not seek the gains and losses of one city and one place for the time being, mainly to the people, and those who do not obey the king will enter the industrial camp to build roads." ”
"Your Majesty." Huang Shijun stood up with an old look: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil for many years, and in previous years, it has been victimized by officials. ”
As soon as Huang Bingjun's words came out, the faces of Qu Shiyun and other officials who knew the people's feelings changed drastically, and they understood that what Huang Shijun said was true, and Zhu Youlang also understood Huang Shijun's words.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youlang closed his eyes slightly and thought, and after a few moments, Zhu Youlang's eyes opened suddenly: "I decreed that all miscellaneous taxes in the world will be exempted, and the new tax system will be announced with a new tax system, and the new tax system will remain unchanged for 50 years. ”
"Your Majesty." As soon as Zhu Youlang's words came out, everyone immediately knelt in front of Zhu Youlang and retorted loudly: "Your Majesty, the court will collect taxes, and the world will collapse."
Zhu Youlang looked away and said: "There is no tax in the court."
As he spoke, Zhu Youlang pointed to the sea off Guangzhou with a relaxed face: "The benefits of today's maritime merchants are clear to you, but I want to say that this is not the highest, and there is more room for development." ”
Just when Qu Shiyun and the others were about to speak, Zhu Youlang said again: "I think that Song Zhihaili accounts for three or four percent of the national tax, and Song Zhifu is familiar with history books, so you should know the meaning."
When Zhu Youlang said at this time, Qu Shiyun and others understood that this was to take business as the first, but Qu Shiyun and others also found that what Zhu Youlang said was reasonable, but when they thought of the greatness of the Ming Dynasty, it was not enough for the court to use it with just Haili.
Thinking of this, Qu Shiyun immediately looked up at Zhu Youlang and said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is huge, the court costs a lot, and the ministers are afraid that they will not be able to do enough.
"You can rest assured, I have my own plans, Daming will not collapse because of this, moreover, this move can gather the hearts of the people of Kyushu, and restore the benefits of Kyushu in Daming."
Seeing Zhu Youlang say this, Qu Shiyun and others had no choice but to acquiesce, and when Qu Shilang stood up, Zhu Youlang said to Liu Wenxiu and the others: "This time to adjust the army, I hope you will support the old department of Daxi."
Saying that, Zhu Youlang looked around at everyone again: "In Yunnan, Guichuan and other places, the places of the guards must be cleaned up, the bandits must be completely suppressed, and the civil registers and field registers must be analyzed. ”
"Your Ministers understand." Everyone replied loudly.
"Encourage you."
And when Zhu Youlang was discussing the military and politics with everyone, Zhu Chenggong had already withdrawn from Nanjing, but when he passed by Chongming Island.
"King, Chongming Island is in front of you." When the soldiers came to report, Zhu Chenggong's face was pale, and he raised the clairvoyant mirror and looked into the distance.
"My lord, this place is only three thousand Tartar green battalion soldiers."
Hearing this, Zhu Chenggong's face was certain, thinking that the Northern Expedition had failed, so that the army's morale was scattered, and he gradually made a decision in his heart.
"Order, take Chongming, as a base for the northward advance."
Zhu Chenggong gave an order, and the army landed one by one and headed towards Chongming City, but when the Ming soldiers approached the castle, the Qinglu battalion soldiers in the fort immediately fired cannons.
But what Zhu Chenggong didn't expect was that although the army was accompanied by the Qinglu battalion, the Ming soldiers had no fighting spirit at this time due to the defeat of Nanjing, and just obeyed the order.
Under the disadvantage of attacking the city again and again, Zhu Chenggong ordered the troops to be stationed outside, but when the Qing soldiers came to teach again, Zhang Huangyan was defeated, and the siege of the army was unfavorable, Zhu Chenggong had to order to return directly to Jinxia Island.
When Zhu Chenggong retreated, Li Dingguo, in order to accept Zhang Huangyan, also directly sent troops to Jingzhou, and at this time, due to the battle of Nanjing, the troops of Huguang and Jiangxi were all transferred to Nanjing, making Li Dingguo like a no-man's land.
"Marshal, Your Majesty has a will." Just when Li Dingguo was trying to recover Huguang in the first battle, Zhu Youlang's will arrived.
When Li Dingguo saw that the eunuch who was about to kneel down to receive the decree, the eunuch pulled Li Dingguo and put the holy decree into Li Dingguo's hand: "Your Majesty has a decree before coming, so that the marshal does not have to be polite." ”
Hearing this, Li Dingguo's heart was slightly moved, he didn't expect Zhu Youlang to be so careful, he didn't open the holy decree, and when he saw Zhu Youlang asking him to retire and recuperate, he didn't like it in his heart, but after thinking about it, he still received the order.
