On the twenty-third day of the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing, snow fell again in the capital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Entering the small year is the year, this small year, Chen Di spent it in the Xiyuan duty room.

Princess Xiaoyan and his side wife Xiaoqing have lived in Fuqing Temple for a long time. Without his two beloved wives, the Pony Mansion doesn't feel like a home. Compared with the deserted Horse Mansion, Chen Di prefers to stay in the Xiyuan Duty Room.

Before the crossing, Chen Di had to write a year-end summary at the end of each year, and then write a New Year's plan. He hadn't changed his habits.

To say that in the twenty-five years of Jiajing, Chen Di has done three major things. The first one, Zhejiang's anti-Japanese war. The second is to force the Tatars back. The third is usurpation.

summed it up, and responded to what he and Lu Bing said at the beginning: "I, Chen Di, didn't want to rebel before, and if I rebel in the future, the emperor will force it!" ”

With that out of the way, it's time for the New Year's resolution.

The manufacture of new-style firearms in the Office of the Ministry of Military Affairs is on the right track, and it is expected that the 10,000-strong Flying Tiger Army will be armed into a pure firearms army in the spring of next year. The first thing Chen Di will do next year is to lead the Flying Tiger Army north into the grassland and defeat Altan Khan. The capital of the Ming Kingdom is too close to Mongolian Hu'er. It can be said that since Yongle moved the capital, the capital of the Ming Dynasty has been threatened by the Mongolian tribes. If we want to give Daming a peaceful environment for development, we must solve the northern border troubles once and for all.

The peace pact with Altan Khan was limited to two years, but Chen Di would not be so stupid as to wait two years before going to war with him. You must know that two years is enough time for Altan Khan to unify the Mongolian steppe! Taking advantage of the fact that there are still irreconcilable contradictions in the three tribes of Tatar, Warat, and Uliangha, it is necessary to fight a decisive battle with Altan Khan as soon as possible.

Of course, the Northern Expedition to Mongolia is to pave the way for the next big thing that Chen Di wants to do! That's the overhead Yan Song!

The Yan Party forces are now covering the sky in the government and the opposition, although Yan Song is his father-in-law, he is also half of the leader of the Yan Party. But most of the Yan Party are old bureaucrats who don't eat the past and treat money as their life! If he wants to fulfill his ambitions, Chen Di must not be bound by Yan Song, the head of the cabinet, and the huge bureaucracy under him!

If you want to seize power, you must stand up! Since ancient times, rulers have established their authority in two ways, one to fight and the other to kill. Yan Song is his father-in-law after all, if the bureaucrats of the Yan Party are killed, people in the world will say that Chen Di is ungrateful. Second, Chen Di was also a little unbearable. The only way to establish immortal power is to fight!

After all, he controls the military power in his hands, and the people who Chen Di has supported in the past year, such as Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Tang Shunzhi, Hu Zongxian, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Long Zixing and others are already in high positions. In addition, many of the students in Xingming Academy have been inserted into the six departments and the local yamen by Chen Di'an. Chen Di is confident that it is not difficult to override Yan Song!

After setting up Yan Song, Chen Di can let go of a major event that has been planned for a long time and is related to the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty! That is to implement the new policy and reform the old military system and the old tax system of the Ming Dynasty!

The implementation of the New Deal was a war with the entire Ming Dynasty's royal family, the old bureaucrats, and the gentry. If you want to implement the new policy, you must ensure that you firmly control the power in your own hands and that there is no threat of external threats. Therefore, the Northern Expedition to Mongolia and the overhead of Yan Song are both to pave the way for the New Deal!

When the New Deal sprouts in Daming, the treasury will inevitably be filled with it. At that time, Chen Di will once again expand the Flying Tiger Army, so that the Flying Tiger Army will become a standing army with a large number of new firearms and new combat methods. Then, Chen Di will build a strong water division!

The ability of this naval division must be able to fight far and wide! At least it should be at the level of the Spanish Armada and the British Imperial Navy in later generations! With a strong sailor as a guarantee, Chen Di will vigorously develop trade with other countries, and begin to expand abroad and colonize overseas.

The first step in overseas colonization was the annexation of Korea, then the Wa Kingdom, and then the Nanyang States。。。。。。

Chen Di secretly planned these things, and secretly wondered if his heart was too wild. To do these things, it may take not just a year, but years, decades, or even decades!

Yan Song walked into the Xiyuan duty room with a food box, followed by Yan Shifan.

Chen Di said: "Father-in-law, why are you here?" ”

Yan Song replied: "Today is Xiao Nian, I heard from the people below that you didn't go back to the Horse Mansion, and you are still on duty in Xiyuan to deal with military affairs." Alas, Di'er, you have really done your best for Daming! But this verse still has to be passed. For the father, simply call your brother-in-law to come to Xiyuan to accompany you for the holiday! ”

Yan Shifan opened the food box, and inside was a plate of rice cakes, five or six delicate side dishes, and a pot of wine.

Yan Shifan smiled: "Cough, my good brother, you don't know, our father now loves your righteous son more than my own son!" I'm getting a little bit of a taste! ”

Yan Song, Chen Di, Yan Shifan, father and son sat down, Yan Song raised his glass: "This first glass of wine, we have to respect our father and son!" In this year, the Japanese invaders occupied Zhejiang, the Tatars hit the capital, and there were floods and droughts in several provinces, and the household department suffered a big deficit! It's not easy for our father and son to work hard to maintain it! ”

Chen Di nodded: "It's really not easy, come, father-in-law, do this toast." ”

Yan Shifan raised his glass again and said, "Now I am on an errand in the Flying Tiger Army of my righteous brother, and I am taken care of by my righteous brother!" I salute you with this wine. ”

Chen Di said: "Brother Yi's words are wrong! The Flying Tiger Army is not my Chen Di's. It was from the Ming court. The righteous brother is only eight years old, and he will definitely be able to do something in the army in the future. ”

Yan Shifan said: "This is a gaffe for my brother." ”

Yan Song took the opportunity to interject: "Di'er, with this glass of wine from your brother-in-law, I want to tell you something serious." Your brother-in-law, although he is a little clever, is not successful! You're going to have to cultivate him more in the Flying Tiger Army! I heard that the Flying Tigers have created a new cavalry brigade? The brigade commander is a defeated soldier of the Datong Guard named Li Chengliang? Alas, if you want me to say, even if it is a defeated army, you must use it with caution! It's just a matter of giving him the title of head in the military department! The cavalry brigade commander of the Flying Tiger Army has a great responsibility, fighting tiger brothers, father and son soldiers, I think it is better to let your brother-in-law take this position? In addition, we have a few of our own people, all of whom have been fighting horses for many years. Let these people also go to the Flying Tigers to help you. ”

Chen Di was shocked! He was still planning to overhead Yan Song just now, why wasn't Yan Song planning to infiltrate the Flying Tiger Army! Yan Song is a smart person, and he knows that Yan Shifan's position as deputy chief of staff is just a fictitious position, so he personally proposes to let him be the commander of the cavalry brigade.

Good for you, Yan Song! I'm guarding against you, my father-in-law, and you're guarding against me, isn't it?
