"Actually, the consequences you mentioned are not undiscussed in our cabinet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 But in the end, we passed the decision. Zuo Peng said, explaining the deep-seated reason.

It turned out that just a month ago, Minister of Political Affairs Nan Feng submitted a request to President Yang Chong to return to Nanyang Overseas Consulate. According to him, the overseas territory of Nanyang really cannot be left unattended. But Yang Chong didn't want Nanfeng to leave.

After repeated persuasion like this several times, Nanfeng still made up his mind.

So Yang Chong resolutely decided to abolish the overseas consulate of Nanyang. In this way, Nanfeng has no need to go to work.

Of course, changing the administrative system is a major event with far-reaching implications. Even if Yang Chong is the president of the Ming Dynasty, it does not mean that it can be abolished. So at the cabinet meeting, Yang Chong deliberately took out this matter for discussion.

It's just that as soon as it was proposed, it was clearly opposed by him, Nanfeng, and Gao Ming. Even the new Minister of the Interior, Yuan Shishen, also expressed deep concern. Only Liu Weiguo was eager to have a fight, so he agreed with Yang Chong's proposal.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the re-entry of Yuan Shigentry into the cabinet.

As a member of the decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Shigentry has always been a member of the decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty. In the reform of the administrative system in the past few years, he voluntarily stepped down from his post as a minister. It is also his personal ambition, which is scientific research.

Therefore, the pursuit of rights and status is not strong.

Although he no longer served as a minister of real power, Yang Chong did not treat him badly. not only made him the president of the Daming Academy of Sciences, but also devoted himself to scientific research. In terms of status, he was given preferential treatment as an honorary minister.

In recent years, the rapid development of Daming science and technology is indispensable to the outstanding contribution of Daming Academy of Sciences.

Later, with the fall of Mu Chun, the position of Minister of the Interior became vacant. Yang Chong made a special visit and asked him to come forward to take up the post of Minister of the Interior.

It is also the position of the Minister of Internal Affairs, which is too important. Especially in industry, it is like controlling the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty. If it is not handed over to a reassuring person, Yang Chong and the other members of the cabinet will not be at ease.

This point, Yuan Shishen just fits. When Mu Chun staged a coup d'état in Mingjing and forced Zuo Peng and Gao Ming to resign, he expressed strong opposition and resistance in the name of the president of the Academy of Sciences. Later, when Zuo Peng and Gao Ming were imprisoned, they expressed deep doubts.

Despite his words and deeds, the impact on Mu Chun was minimal. But this gesture just proves his character. In addition, when they worked together in the past, his integrity is also obvious to all. So whether it is Yang Chong or other cabinet ministers, they all have a good impression of him.

And in terms of qualifications, he is also very consistent. After all, he had the experience of being a minister before, and he was the president of the Daming Academy of Sciences. Ben is in the cabinet and has a certain amount of influence. It is also the most appropriate thing to let him serve.

In addition, there is a specialization in the art industry!

As a senior scientific researcher, Yuan Shishen is not ignorant of industry. In many cases, the technological development of industry is also the result of the great help of the Daming Academy of Sciences.

So looking at Daming, there is really no more suitable person than him.

After careful consideration, Yang Chongcai decided to invite him into the cabinet.

It's just that there is a small episode in this.

That is, Yuan Shishen, the honorary minister and president of the Daming Academy of Science, was reluctant to take this position at first. Or Yang Chonghao said evilly, Xiao Yiyi. finally let him agree to come down.

But he also has one condition!

That is to continue to serve as the president of the Daming Academy of Sciences. And after finding a suitable successor, they will take the initiative to resign.

However, these causes and effects are not directly related to Xia Bing. So she wasn't very interested, so she took the kettle hanging on the inner wall and asked Zuo Peng to drink saliva. Then he was puzzled and said, "Since you are all against it, how did the president persuade you to abolish it?" ”。

"Haha, say it, you may not believe it." , Zuo Peng wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth, and then said: "It was not the president who persuaded us, but Minister Liu Weiguo." ”。

"Him?!" , Xia Bing's tone was filled with deep doubts. Because in her impression, Liu Weiguo is a person who is more careless than Zhang Xiao. When she was in Nanyang before, she deeply understood Liu Weiguo's teasing and coercive nature.

So the impression given to her is that it is extremely unreliable. With a woman's unique intuition, such a man is obviously unreliable.

So expect him to give some convincing advice, and the sun is really coming out in the west.

Zuo Peng knew Xia Bing's thoughts, so he said in a persuasive tone: "Don't look at Liu Weiguo's usual behavior, when you really want to do things, you are still very reliable."

You want to! He has been in Nanyang for so long and has participated in so many big and small battles, doesn't he have a little ability? ”。

"Then what did he say that made you all want to listen to him?" , Xia Bing asked. She really wanted to know what suggestions this usually stubborn defense minister put forward that made so many dissatisfied ministers change their minds.

Hehe, he didn't actually say anything. Just mentioned, Daming's strategic plan for the next three years. Zuo Peng said with a smile and hung the kettle back on the inner wall.

"Strategic planning for the next three years?" , Xia Bing repeated.

Well, he said that the next three years of the Ming Dynasty will be mainly eastward. The necessary military preparations must be made now. ”。 Because Sun Tzu's Art of War clouds: 'Plan and then act, know and stop, and gain.' ’。

In today's vernacular, it means to act after careful planning and stop at the right time, so as to achieve 'victory without a fight' militarily.

It is also the eastward expansion strategy, and the ultimate goal is the Qing Dynasty. So for Da Ming, he has to be cautious. The so-called hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen! Even if the Qing Dynasty is now, it has become a trend of decline. But in the end, it is the hegemon of the East, no matter how weak his strength is, he cannot handle it at will.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty was not one of those Western powers, and they only targeted the Manchu rulers in the upper echelons of the Qing Dynasty. For those ordinary people, it is more enveloping and gentle.

Therefore, when the time comes, the harm to ordinary people will definitely be reduced.

This is a major test in military terms. Therefore, corresponding military preparations are indispensable.

As the forward position of the eastward expansion, Nanyang will play the role of a bridgehead when the Ming Dynasty launches military operations in the future. Any chaos cannot occur in the South Seas. Otherwise, it will inevitably affect the strategic pace of the Ming Dynasty's eastward expansion.

Since this is the case, Liu Weiguo suggested that we should act now. Let this place in Nanyang be completely assimilated by the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is chaos, it will be less harmful than if it broke out three years later.
