At this meeting, what we want to discuss is the plan for the next few years, and the big blueprint has been done a long time ago, but the specific details have to be constantly adjusted with the implementation of the plan. [Full text reading]

The Luzon strategy is like this, originally everyone thought that it would take two or three years for a huge Luzon to be completely calmed down. Unexpectedly, Xie Hong's iron-blooded purge policy was extraordinary, and the expeditionary force cleared Little Luzon in one fell swoop, and even conquered the Sulu Kingdom in the south in advance, and even affected the island of Java.

This kind of accident Xie Hong is very welcome, and the more the better, Luzon is set, and the rest can be left to the governor's palace to dispose of itself, and he took advantage of the situation to push out the plan of Zhancheng and Mangathorn together.

The important surname of Luzon lies in the resources of the place, and the Manga thorn is because of its geographical location. When the treasure ships traveled westward, generally speaking, they also set sail from Suzhou, passed through Fujian, Qiongzhou, to Zhancheng, and continued south, through the Mangaja Strait, into the Indian Ocean.

This route is the same as Xie Hong's plan, so no matter whether or not there is a previous trip from the Zhancheng people, Xie Hong will not let go of this important transit station.

Just as important as the southern front is the battle situation in the northern frontier, and if you want to achieve that grand goal, you must make the Tartars desperate and dispel all their luck psychology, so that they will obediently embark on the second journey to the west.

Right now, there are only these major events that Xie Hong needs to pay attention to, and he doesn't need to pay attention to other things at all. Economic construction, the improvement of the political system, the research and development of technology, and the progress have all been completely put on track, and the talents of China have been fully released at this time, and the energy that has erupted is extremely terrifying.

In the face of the power of the whole nation, Xie Hong's foresight can play a smaller and smaller role, of course, this is what Xie Hong expects the most. Gone to the most threatening diseases in Huaxia, he felt that he should also rest and enjoy the journey, no desire? That's not his real surname, it's just that he was too busy to look around.

There are not many topics today, and they were so stirred up by Zhengde, and they were all said. Zhengde didn't achieve his goal, he was in a very unhappy mood, he lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly raised his head, looked at Xie Hong's eyes, and said seriously: "I have decided, if Xifan and I are facing each other, then I will personally lead the sailor to the expedition." ”

"Uh......" It was rare to see such a serious expression on Zhengde's face, and Xie Hong was subconsciously stunned.

"Big brother, you said it before, right? Xifan's navigation technology and firearms are stronger than the Ming Dynasty, if left unchecked, even the current Ming Dynasty may be threatened. That's why we came up with a strategy to force the Mongols to go west, because this is a very heavy opponent, and it is worth our doing, and it is worth my own action, right? ”

"Well, that's true." Xie Hong nodded, Zhengde's words evoked his memories.

That was when the two met for the first time in Xuanfu, before the two of them knotted, Xie Hong was with a hint of utilitarianism, he wanted to subtly influence Zhengde from all aspects, and implant the concept of need in the heart of this Ming ruler. The threat of the West, the correlation between freedom and equality, the danger of Confucianism to social progress, and so on, were all topics of discussion between the two men.

However, with the deepening of understanding, and the historical legends corroborate, Xie Hong found that he did not need to do so much trouble, in Zhengde's heart, the yearning for freedom is the first place, in order to realize the dream of freedom, he does not care about many things, if there is anything to help this, he is even more gladly promised.

Constantly experience the most colorful side of life, and find fun from it, explore the unknown world, and do it with a surname, which seems absurd, but in fact it is a true surname, this is the unique Ming Wuzong. If it weren't for Zhengde, there would be no change in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that everything is on track, why do you have to hold him on? Xie Hong's heart suddenly brightened, he raised his right hand, and laughed loudly: "Then it is a word, if Xifan dares to stand in front of my Daming Water Master, we will go and beat them all over the face!" ”

"Okay, that's a deal." Zhengde was overjoyed, jumped up from his seat, and struck Xie Hong with both hands, "It's worthy of being a big brother, you are the one who understands me best." ”

…… The feast is over, and the people disperse.

Originally, this kind of national affairs should be discussed in the Qianqing Palace or the Zhonghe Palace, but since Zhengde designated the Dragon and Phoenix Store, no one would be serious about this kind of trivial matter.

Zhengde got Xie Hong's formal promise and went back to the palace satisfied, but for some reason, he pulled Yang Min when he left, which flattered the latter, but also left others with a lot of doubts.

Xie Hong didn't think much about it, but guessed that classmate Zhu was probably a little impatient, so he pulled Yang Min to learn about the situation in Nanyang. With the fleet's first round trip, all kinds of news about the South Seas spread all over the sky, causing many people to yearn for it, but after all, it is a rumor, and the level of detail and truth is not as good as Yang Min's appearance.

He Shi Shiran walked out of the dragon and phoenix store and was about to go home, but before he walked a few steps, he only heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned his head, it was Wang Shouren chasing after him, looking like he had something to say.

"Brother Bo'an, why are you so anxious? Is there something important that you forgot to mention? Xie Hong stopped, waited for the other party to arrive, and then asked with a smile.

Wang Shouren shook his head, his face was serious: "Alas, Brother Shouheng, how did you agree so happily today?" Could it be that there is some mystery in it? ”

"No, when you meet eighty percent, you are going to fight, Xifan is not a native of Nanyang, they are fierce." Xie Hong shrugged, "In the past few years, thanks to Brother Zeng's efforts, the technology of artillery has improved a lot, but compared with the artillery of Xifan, it is not much ahead, and it is even inferior, and they have a lot of ships, so it is impossible to be afraid." ”

"In your opinion, when will this naval battle be?" Wang Shouren's face became more serious.

"It's hard to say specifically...... Xie Hong can be sure that during the Zhengde period, the Portuguese must have arrived in India and set up a governor's palace there. The Spaniards followed the Portuguese, and the Dutch, who were not yet at their peak, should have controlled some ports in East Africa or India.

"It should be in the near future, maybe three years, maybe five years." Thinking of the two Portuguese who suddenly left the capital, Xie Hong had some success.

"If you don't call in the royal sailors, can you defeat them with the power of the maritime merchants and the governor's palace alone?" Wang Shouren's questions were one after another, which made Xie Hong a little overwhelmed.

"If the two Portuguese haven't seen their compatriots yet, and make a reminder, it should be no problem, after all, there are many merchant ships, and the Portuguese expedition ships have already come to Daming, and the opening should be merchant ships, and the number will not be too much......."

Xie Hong pinched his fingers and calculated: "However, if you get a reminder, it won't be easy to say, after all, Xifan's weapons are ahead, and if they fight hard, even if they win, the maritime merchants are afraid that they will be greatly damaged...... However, Brother Bo'an, there is nothing to worry about, once there is news in Nanyang, the royal sailors here will be dispatched, and it will not be difficult to win. ”

"Brother Shouheng, this is your negligence, since the enemy also has sharp firearms, and he is a long-fought army, his strength should not be underestimated, why did you still agree to let the emperor personally conquer? The soldiers are in danger, the firearms are huge, and it is difficult to prevent them, and the emperor is the one again...... Surname, if there is a case, what should I do? ”

Wang Shouren shook his head again and again, and said in a deep voice: "Although the court is safe now, after all, the new policy has just been implemented, and the local government is far from being as stable as Mount Tai. Once there is a twist and turn, the emperor and the virtuous brother are not there, what should you do? The matter ...... It's still up for discussion. ”

"Brother Bo'an doesn't have to worry about the emperor's safety, this time is different from the time he went to Yingzhou, he will not be caught off guard and rush to the battle. If you don't have to be outstanding, if you don't win completely, you won't fight the army, and the younger brother will definitely be prepared, so that you can annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop, not to mention ......"

"What's more?"

"Well, it's nothing." If no one is plotting, how can Zhengde be so easily defeated? Xie Hong originally wanted to say this, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, he didn't want to deepen the impression of the god stick in Wang Shouren's heart.

"As for the government, Brother Bo'an, the legislative work has almost been prepared, and it should be able to try to run next year, and then just do things according to the law, what is the difference between the emperor and the emperor? Are you still afraid that someone will cause trouble? Hehe, how is it possible, the guards were brought out by the emperor, and the border army has also returned to their hearts, even if the emperor is not there, who can't see the situation clearly and will jump out to rebel? ”

"What about Northern Xinjiang? Are you sure that it will be completely resolved within three years? "In terms of thoughtfulness, Wang Shouren is still above Xie Hong, after all, he is professional.

"It shouldn't be difficult." Xie Hong nodded, and said lightly: "As soon as the Naturalization City is built, the Duoyan Department and the Taining Department will start with the Fuyu Department, and at the same time, the Daning City will be rebuilt, two years is not enough for the Tatars to see the situation clearly?" When the time comes, I'll add a little more fire, and things will be in order. ”

Wang Shouren stopped, thought for a moment, suddenly shook his head, and sighed: "Brother Shouheng, if it weren't for the foolish brother who knows you very well, I'm afraid he would think that you are pretending to be amazing...... Alas, anyway, the preliminary work has been done, just see how the harvest is. ”

"Don't worry, it's going to go well." Xie Hong raised his eyes to look north, the sky was like a brocade of clouds, and the long wind was blowing, like a mournful roar, as if bringing information from afar.

…… Qianqing Palace.

“…… That's it, do you understand? Tell you, this is a holy decree, and if you disobey it, I will send you to Ezo Island. Zhengde made a vicious threat.

“…… Wechen obeyed. Yang Min was really sad in his heart, he thought it was a good thing, but it turned out to be such a way, but he couldn't raise objections, it was fatal.

"In addition, in advance, you are not allowed to say to others, if you leak the news, hum, I will ......" Zhengde hesitated, he didn't think of a more powerful threat than exile on Ezo Island for a while, his eyes swept around the palace, and he saw someone, and then he thought of the following, he said viciously: "Just let you be the same as San'er, do you know?" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare." The threat was so powerful that Yang Min burst into tears.

The third father-in-law also had tears in his eyes, the eunuch really has no human rights, and our family was also shot while lying down!
