Chapter 161: If you go outside, you must first settle inside
Chapter 161 (Page 1/1)
Sun Chuanting said: "So if you send an army over, can the army's needs be solved locally?" Can our soldiers adapt to the local weather, have these General Yan considered it? ”
Yan Siqi said: "If the garrison of 3,000 is all self-produced, it will need 3,000 people to accompany it to solve the grain and grass needed by the army." But if you don't use people and collect it locally, you can supply at least 5,000 people with food and grass. Zhou Tongjin said that the Ming garrison is not much in Jing, and 2,000 people stationed in Nuergan City can deter various tribes, and if the tribe's soldiers call out, they can get at least 20,000 people, and bring their own grain and grass weapons. ”
Sun Chuanting asked, "If the tribe rebels, what use will the two thousand soldiers do?" ”
Yan Siqi said: "So we should also station a navy on Kuyi Island, which can support Nuergan City at any time." And as long as there is no outside intervention, the local rebellion is very rare. Even if there is a rebellion, 2,000 elite soldiers can defend the city, and at least 20,000 people can face an attack, and as soon as the navy comes, it can be leveled immediately. ”
Zhu Youxiao interjected at this time and asked: "If there is an external force intervening, such as an invasion by a northern country?" ”
Yan Siqiqi said: "Northern country invasion? Listen to them, the northern wilderness, no people. ”
Zhu Youxiao said in a deep voice: "There is a country in the north, called the Rakshasa country. The people of this country are extremely cruel and have to be guarded against. ”
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng interjected: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if there is really a murderous Rakshasa invasion, the hearts of the local people will be towards the Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, we will contact all the tribes to resist together, and our guards are willing to smash the enemy's capital, destroy their country, and capture their king and present it to Your Majesty. ”
Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "I also want to destroy his country and capture his king, but his country is very big and difficult." ”
Lu Xiangsheng said: "It is precisely because of the difficulty that his exploits are enough to be dedicated to the Taimiao, and His Majesty's achievements in opening up the territory and expanding the territory can directly catch up with the Taizu Chengzu." ”
Zhu Youxiao pondered, he didn't learn history well back then, the area of Russia seems to be 17 million square kilometers, slowly, it seems that Peter I only began to expand, Peter I was in the 18th century, and Russia was not so big at this time. And there don't seem to be many Russians, at least not more than the Chinese.
Didn't you substitute the later generations of Russia into the present, didn't China sign the relatively equal "Aihui Treaty" with Russia during the Qing Dynasty? Does that mean that Russia is not very powerful? Wei Xiaobao has been able to beat Russia, there is no reason why he can't beat a traverser.
At this time, he came to his senses and saw that everyone was looking at him, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's that I'm thinking too much, so it seems that General Yan and Master Lu are both in favor of recovering the eastern territory?" ”
Yan Siqi nodded, and Lu Xiangsheng said: "Since you only need two thousand army and one navy to control such a large place, Chen thinks it is completely feasible." ”
Sun Chuanting also nodded and said: "The southern part of the Ming Dynasty is densely populated, and if there is a large area of land around Nuergan City that can be used as fertile land, you can try to immigrate." ”
Zhu Youxiao said happily: "Then Sun Qing agreed to recover the eastern territory?" ”
Sun Chuanting said: "Since it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, of course the minister will support it." ”
Zhu Youxiao muttered: "South, south, people here are seriously fond of their hometown, and they would rather be crowded in a small area than plant tax-free land, and it is really difficult for them to emigrate." ”
Sun Chuanting hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the minister once talked to the factory master about this matter, and the factory father meant that the local government was not effective, not only did not publicize it, but carried out counter-propaganda. ”
Zhu Youxiao sighed and said, "I know this, there is no way to do this, I can only take my time." In fact, if half of the population of the south settled, I could occupy all of Siberia. ”
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng interjected: "Your Majesty, the minister is a military general, so he shouldn't have interjected. It's just that the minister thinks that there is not a clerk school now? The imperial court will expand in size, find a time, and replace the disobedient officials together, I see how they still toss. We're expanding outside, and if it's unstable at home, it's not going to work. ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "I understand the meaning of Xiaotian, you must first settle down inside when you go outside, everyone knows this truth." I have also thought about this, but you know that most of the students in the Clerk's Academy are still from the south, and when the time comes, they will not be the same. Moreover, the south cannot be chaotic, and if it is chaotic, it will affect the whole country. Therefore, I want to open up overseas first, solve the food problem of the Ming Dynasty, have food in my hands, and do not panic in my heart, at that time, the south will be chaotic, but the land of the two provinces, I can still afford it. ”
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also a person from Nanzhili, but the minister only has the emperor in his heart, and there is no geographical distinction. ”
Zhu Youxiao said: "Xiaotian's loyalty, of course I know that Nanjing and Zhejiang are deeply influenced by Donglin. And the grievances between me and the Donglin people are too complicated, and the Donglin people hate me deeply, so it's difficult. ”
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty, Ye Cifu is from Donglin, Yang Shangshu is from Donglin, and Zuo Shilang is also from Donglin, these people do not hate Your Majesty deeply. The minister grew up in Changzhou, which was heavily influenced by Donglin, but the minister and the minister's family never had any complaints about His Majesty. Is Your Majesty thinking too seriously? ”
Zhu Youxiao muttered, "Did I think too seriously? In fact, Wei Zhongxian also said similar things, and Sun Chuanting also said them, but now that Lu Xiangsheng said them, it is a little different. First, Lu Xiangsheng was originally from Jiangnan, and secondly, because of Zhu Xiaotian's relationship, Zhu Youxiao actually trusted Lu Xiangsheng more in his heart.
Yan Siqi first heard them talk about southerners, but he didn't know what was going on, he was also a southerner, and he was a little uneasy. Later, I realized that the southerners only meant Nanjing and Zhejiang, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xiangsheng replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this world is the world of the Ming Dynasty, and the vast majority of people will obey the emperor, how can one party and one faction dare to confront the Son of Heaven?" If so, then the whole world will fight against it. ”
Yan Siqi finally found an opportunity to show his loyalty: "Those who dare to fight against the Son of Heaven will be attacked by the whole world!" ”
The other generals were naturally not to be left behind, and shouted together: "Those who dare to fight against the Son of Heaven will be attacked by the whole world!" ”
Man Gui took a step forward, saluted a military salute and said: "Please give the generalissimo an order, Lieutenant General Man Gui of the Guards is willing to capture the southern rebels." ”
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "It can't be said to be rebellious, it's just that it doesn't agree with my philosophy, which is normal." It's just that at this time, it hinders the development of the Ming Dynasty, so I can't tolerate it. Since everyone thinks that most of the southerners support me, then I will first settle down, and tomorrow I will issue an order to thoroughly investigate the tax resistance in the south, and start from this matter, draw out the forces behind them, and then kill them with one blow. ”
