Previously, Zhu Yijun always thought that the reason why Zhu Changluo raised so much military expenses was nothing more than to make the Japanese country lose a batch of silver, but in the actual battle, it was absolutely impossible to use so much silver, even if all the bereavement rewards were added up, five million taels of silver was enough!

But now, the budgeted military expenditure for this expedition has reached 7 million taels of silver, and with these 7 million taels as the backing, the Ming army really has the confidence to use money to smash a victory!

However, thinking of this, a strange feeling suddenly appeared in Zhu Yijun's heart, could it be that Zhu Changluo had expected such a situation a long time ago? Otherwise, how could he go to great lengths to raise so many taels of silver for military expenses?

It's just that this idea first came to mind, and it was snuffed out by Zhu Yijun, how can there be anything in this world that can predict the future, at most, Zhu Changluo paid attention to the general trend of the imperial court earlier, and was wary of Nurhachi. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If it was in the past, maybe Zhu Yijun would be unhappy because of this, but now that he has regarded Zhu Changluo as his heir, he will naturally only be happy!

After all, as the prince of a country, you can't just focus on the court, you should focus on the entire Ming Dynasty, so that you can be a king!

However, Zhu Changluo didn't notice Zhu Yijun's thoughts, and scratched his head.

"Father is wise, with such a huge military expenditure as a pillar, I can use the fastest speed to solve the Japanese state, and then divide the army into two ways, and capture the old city of Jianzhou before Nurhachi annexes the Haixi Jurchen, and it is precisely because of the power of the country to attack this time, contain the main force of our army, so that Nurhachi can take the risk, but he can't imagine that my Ming Dynasty will go on this expedition, the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient, if you don't hesitate to silver taels, you can break its conspiracy and break its foundation!"

The reason why he didn't tell the whole plan in front of the cabinet ministers was that he wanted to use their mouths to send a signal!

Daming is indeed unable to fight on two fronts, so he has to use the method of deterrence to stop Nurhachi from going north!

If it was changed to half a month ago, this is indeed a fact, but now, this extra millions of taels of military spending out of thin air is enough to have the effect of turning things around, these military expenses were raised by Zhu Changluo, even if Nurhachi has spies in the court, he will definitely not know the news, even if he knew, Nurhachi would never have thought that the Ming Emperor, who has always been greedy for money, would be so willing to smash millions of taels of silver into it, just to be able to quickly exterminate the Wa State, and then attack a Jianzhou Jurchen!

Of course, if Nurhachi had been wiser and had not moved, he might have been able to maintain peace for a while.

But with this will of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the news deliberately spread by Zhu Changluo's calculations, Nurhachi will definitely take the risk and attack the Haixi Jurchens!

However, it is not that he does not believe in the ministers of the cabinet, and there is no doubt that those who can enter the cabinet, regardless of their personality and ability, are loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

But their loyalty does not mean that their protégés are old, and their subordinate servants can withstand temptation.

And the biggest characteristic of civil officials is that they form gangs and factions, and the relationship network is intertwined, and there is only one chance for this plan, so Zhu Changluo really doesn't dare to take this risk!

Zhu Yijun understood Zhu Changluo's plan almost instantly, and sighed.

"There is another point you didn't say, since Nurhachi wants to storm the Haixi Jurchen this time, and wants to win quickly, naturally there are only the two methods you just said, and he does not have such money as a backing, he can only choose to fight hard, so there will be heavy casualties, and when the time comes, our army will capture the old city of Jianzhou, relying on the benefits of the strong city, when Nurhachi and the Haixi Jurchen are defeated, they will be annihilated from the rear when they are both defeated!"

But when he said this, a trace of excitement flashed in Zhu Yijun's eyes.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty has never had cold blood!

After a pause, Zhu Yijun pressed the excited look in his heart and said.

"In this case, presumably seven million taels of silver is still insufficient, so I turned around and issued an order to allocate another two million taels from the Taicang silver, and I will definitely annihilate the Wa Kingdom and the Jianzhou Jurchens in one fell swoop in this battle!"

Zhu Changluo was stunned, but he didn't expect that his emperor father was so generous, Taicang Silver had already taken out two million taels, if he took out so much, he must be going to see the bottom!

After a pause, he arched his hand and said.

"Father and Emperor, this matter should not be publicized, then Nurhachi is not an ordinary person after all, if he notices something wrong, it will not be good!"

Zhu Yijun nodded and said.

"I understand!"

But immediately, he saw that a trace of obvious hesitation flashed on Zhu Changluo's face, and his heart moved, and he said.

"If there's anything else to say, let's say it all together!"

Zhu Changluo raised his head, pondered for a moment, and said.

"Father, my son has a matter, I want to ask my father for permission!"

"Tell me about it!"

Although Zhu Yijun felt that Zhu Changluo was a little anxious to make a request at this time, he didn't feel that it was wrong, after all, he had just solved such a big problem for himself, and he should be rewarded.

What's more, he also wants to see what his son, who has good ability and ability, is in his heart!

Is it possible to make such a great achievement, but still be able to control the proportion, not arrogant or impatient?

Looking at the emperor's calm gaze, Zhu Changluo hesitated for a moment and said.

"Father's honor, this battle is not trivial, if something goes wrong, it will definitely hurt my Ming vitality, not to mention that my father's plan is not known before it is implemented, and after the war, if you rashly order to capture the Jianzhou Jurchens, the army will inevitably be turbulent, so the sons and daughters think that they must choose an identity and status to deter the ministers in the army to manage military affairs and go out with the army!"

Zhu Yijun frowned, and a hint of foreboding appeared in his heart, and said.

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Changluo took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, and said.

"Father, to be able to deter the civil and military generals in the army, people who are not from the royal family are not competent, so the sons and daughters are brave and ask for orders to go with the army!"

"No way!"

Zhu Yijun didn't think about it, and flatly refused.

After a pause, he looked at Zhu Changluo's firm gaze, his tone softened slightly, and said.

"In a few days, you will hold a crown wedding ceremony, you should know what it means for the eldest son of the emperor to be married, the position of the prince is the national society, the battlefield fights, the sword has no eyes, you can't go!"

However, Zhu Changluo argued with Zhu Yijun for the first time since entering the hall, and said.

"Father, don't hesitate! This battle is not trivial, even if the commander has a secret plan, if there is no person with enough status to suppress the army, it may not be possible to make mistakes, to take on this great responsibility, only the sons and daughters can, not to mention that this battle is related to the fortune of the Ming Dynasty, not to be careless, the father and the emperor think twice! ”

Zhu Yijun frowned and stared at Zhu Changluo tightly, how could he not know this section.

In this world, there can be no army that completely prohibits, let alone unrestrained power, this plan is top secret, whether it is to attack the Japanese army at the expense of silver, or to turn back and counterattack the old city of Jianzhou, before the action, it is impossible to make the real purpose public.

And if the true purpose is not announced, all this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the army, and there is really a need for a person whose status can suppress all voices, Li Rusong can't do this, Shi Xing can't do it, and even if Wang Xijue, the first assistant of the cabinet, goes in person, he can't do it!

There are only two people in the entire court who can do it, one is Zhu Yijun himself, and the other is Zhu Changluo!

Zhu Yijun is the emperor, the emperor of the Son of Heaven, he personally ordered, even if someone questioned it, no one dared to disobey!

And Zhu Changluo is the eldest son of the emperor, after the marriage, he is the prince of the East Palace, in a sense, he is already half the master of the Ming Dynasty, unless the royal driver is personally recruited, there will be no one with a higher status than him......

Zhu Yijun knew that Zhu Changluo was telling the truth, in this war, the Wa Kingdom and the Jianzhou Jurchen both gambled everything, but the Ming Dynasty mobilized an army of more than 100,000 people, and invested nearly 10 million taels of silver, and the stakes were also very large!

If something goes wrong, no one can afford the consequences, so no matter from which point of view, Zhu Changluo is the most suitable person!

It's just that......

After all, he is the prince he just chosen!

The prince is the foundation of the country, and if something goes wrong, the consequences will be even more unacceptable to everyone......

His face changed for a while, and Zhu Yijun finally waved his hand weakly and said.

"You stand down first, this matter ...... Let's wait until Nurhachi doesn't come out of his protests......"
