Later, when Ge Tianzhang and Cheng Zhixin had already left the Forbidden City, Zhao Hongshou, the first assistant minister who had been ordered to rush over from Wenzhao Pavilion, and Wang Jianfeng, the second assistant, entered the Renzhi Hall where His Majesty the Emperor was located one after another. The two of them saw the adviser in charge of the economy and the military retreat from the house, so they reported that they stepped into the imperial study of His Majesty the Emperor.

However, it is obvious that His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Mu is in a very bad mood now, and the case of the theft and sale of weapons and ammunition in Jiliao and Gyeonggi is like a sharp knife hanging above the emperor's head, making it difficult for Zhu Mu to sleep and eat. He very much wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly, because as the emperor, he really didn't want to shake the country's foundation and end it like this.

And from another aspect, he also wanted to know who did something in this matter and indirectly cheated the former emperor Zhu Changle. Even in the spirit of avenging his father, Zhu Mu wanted to know which bastard was not afraid of death who was behind this matter.

"That's your attitude! This is the attitude of your so-called loyal servants towards me! Patting the table, Zhu Mu stared at Zhao Hongshou and Wang Jianfeng, the two cabinet ministers, and said angrily: "None of you are willing to resist this black cauldron, and resist the black cauldron that throws away Fengtian!" ”

He stared at the two people in front of him with a pair of angry eyes, as if he wanted to burn these two people: "As a result, I threw this black cauldron to my father!" Give an emperor who has never made any mistakes a filial piety nickname, and then stand in front of me with peace of mind, and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth that this empire has given you! ”

As long as you know a little bit about the chaos in eastern Liaodong, you can think that it is actually several interests that are playing a trick of mutual compromise in the eastern Liaodong region. As a result, this trick was obviously played, making the current Liaodong war situation passive, and with the passing of Zhu Changle, none of the remaining people wanted to carry this black cauldron, so it became what it is now.

Zhao Hongshou, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, was forced by the pressure of his eldest son Zhao Mingyi, and he did not dare to delve too deeply into the mistakes of the Wang family in Jiliao, for fear that if he was burned by fire, he would make a big incident and threaten his fundamental interests. And the Wang family is not willing to be too serious about Wang Nu's loss of Fengtian, and it may not be beneficial for the Wang family to really find out everything.

So several parties were confused and silent, and never mentioned anything about the theft and sale of Jiliao arms. Who would have thought that the last fig leaf would be turned over by Ge Tianzhang, who was desperate for his political opinions. Now everyone is implicated, and behind their backs, they can't wait to kick this stubborn old man Ge Tianzhang from his post as the secretary of the military department.

"Your Majesty! The first emperor treated his ministers well, and when it came to feelings, even if the ministers were broken bones, they had to bear the responsibility for the loss of Fengtian for the first emperor's nickname...... But such a major event as losing land and land, even if the ministers raid their homes and destroy their clans, they can't bear it......" Zhao Hongshou bent down with a crying voice to explain, the tone of his voice was touching, and even Wang Jianfeng behind him couldn't help but praise him, he was really an old drama bone.

"Your Majesty, now that the war in Liaodong is in full swing, it is really important to gather troops to Liaodong, hoard ammunition, counterattack to recapture Fengtian, and avenge the first emperor...... At this time, everything else must be put aside before it can be done......" Seeing that Zhao Hongshou finished expressing his opinion, Wang Jianfeng also bent down slightly, and said to Emperor Zhu Mu, who should call him uncle.

"The Ministry of War felt that adjusting the strategic focus to the northeast was a negation of the overall strategy of the previous empire, and Ge Tianzhang turned over the arms theft and sale case in order to prevent my plan to use troops on the Liaodong battlefield for a long time." Zhu Mu looked at Wang Jianfeng and knew that among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the only one who could really support him was this uncle who was the second assistant.

Even if Wang Jianfeng is unwilling to support Zhu Mu, he must also support his son Wang Jue, who is already fighting in Liaodong. Anyway, Zhu Mu now knows that this deputy minister is now a grasshopper tied to a rope with him, or a person who got on a boat.

"Your Majesty, the question that Ge Laoshangshu said does have some truth. After all, the empire is using troops in Southeast Asia, and the oil fields of Little Luzon (Philippine Lubin) cannot be easily ceded to Ceylon, and the locals on the Indian side also need to be suppressed by heavy troops, and it is not very stable next to the Middle East...... "Zhao Hongshou hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "If we easily shake our foundation in Southeast Asia and India, it will be a big mess." ”

India, which was controlled by the Ming Empire, was not an occupation, but more like the loose federal control of later generations. Diplomatically, the Ming can represent the Indian region, and militarily it can be regarded as controlling, but the control is not solid. With the rebellion of the Jin State, there were also some **** in India, but the strategic policy of the Ming Empire first in the south and then in the north ensured that the troops in the south were more sufficient, and the small-scale **** in India was basically suppressed by the Ming Empire.

This is also a confusing place, often this kind of general direction of decision-making, it is difficult to say right or wrong or judge with simple right or wrong. Any arbitrary analysis of national decision-making at a certain stage in history is one-sided and unfair.

For example, many people think that the Southern Song Dynasty court that stopped Yue Fei's Northern Expedition was incompetent, but if the treasury was no longer sustainable at that time, Yue Fei's troops were in danger of going deep alone, and His Majesty the Emperor was suspicious and afraid that Yue Fei would support his own troops...... The conclusions drawn after the interference of this series of problems cannot be arbitrarily summarized by incompetence.

Ge Tianzhang's strategy of going south has made great contributions to the Ming Empire's control of Southeast Asia, and even to maintain the loose control of India, which is also the real reason why Zhu Mu did not dare to really dismiss this eighty-year-old military secretary although he scolded Ge Tianzhang for being an old horseman.

Although the Ming Empire was vast, it did not match the vastness of its territory in terms of easily exploitable oil reserves. Although some oil fields were indeed discovered in the Qinghai region and some scattered areas, this level of reserves did not allow the Ming Empire to make up its mind to abandon coal and develop the oil industry rapidly.

However, with the passage of time, the oil industry has become more and more advanced and strong, and the Ming Empire is also gradually transforming, using its own strong industrial accumulation to rapidly develop its own oil industry. And the oil industry base of the Ming Empire, more than half of it is in Little Luzon (Filipino Lubin).
