But when Emperor Zhu Mu was above the court, for the first time since Ge Tianzhang was dismissed, he reaffirmed the established national policy of the Ming Empire first in the south and then in the north, everyone was shocked beyond one - you drove all the ministers who supported the south first and then the north home, but now you want to follow this set of national strategies?
Even Sun Fang and He Yuxi, the two heads of the Ministry of Rites, were so frightened by the emperor's divine turn that they forgot to bow their heads and lead their tasks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info they looked at the still young emperor sitting on the dragon chair, and found that after working together for a whole year, none of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty could see through this out-of-the-box emperor.
"What? Do you think that if I drive Ge Tianzhang out of the court, I won't continue to use his strategy? Are you kidding! I am the Son of Heaven of the Ming Empire! How can the strategic decisions of the empire be determined by personal likes and dislikes? Zhu Mu sat on the dragon chair, very satisfied with the expressions on the faces of the ministers below, he liked this feeling that everyone couldn't guess, and there was a refreshing experience of crushing IQ.
"Go ahead and get this done! Negotiations with Muscovy must be concealed, and the last advantage must be taken! If you want to buy stability from our Ming Empire, you naturally have to pay enough price! After feeling the pleasure for a few seconds, he opened his mouth and continued to tell the business to come.
Hearing that His Majesty the Emperor had made another request, Sun Fang and He Yuxi hurriedly bowed their heads and responded: "Your Majesty Shengming!" Chensun Fang (He Yuxi) will do it! ”
Zhu Mu nodded, and sent the two of them away with a wave of his hand: "I am waiting for your good news!" ”
Because Ceylon has its own eyeliner, Ceylon did not keep secret the signing of the "Non-Aggression Pact between the Ming Empire and Muscovy" with the British Empire and France because of political needs, so the Ming Empire has long known Ceylon's plans.
Not only did he know that when he got the news, Zhu Mu really thought about it for many days in order to solve the crisis caused by this treaty. Just when he was struggling with whether to tear his face and declare war on Ceylon under pressure from the British Empire and France, or whether to let go of Ceylon and kill Muscovy in the northwest first, Vladimir VII of Muscovy gave him a good solution.
In order to gain its own interests in the impending war, Muscovy must avoid being caught in a two-front war. Therefore, Vladimir VII made alliances everywhere, hoping to stabilize half of his borders, and if the Ming Dynasty signed a non-aggression pact with it, then Zhu Mu would be able to build a barrier with Britain and France!
British and French forces could not cross the vast areas of Ukraine and Russia into Siberia, and the so-called mutual defense treaty with Ceylon was just a blank check that could not be implemented. After the Ming Empire went south and fought a decisive battle with Ceylon, the attitude of Britain and France was really irrelevant.
Because if the Ming Empire wins, the whole world will not be able to shake a Ming Empire that has stabilized its rear...... Of course, if the Ming Empire fails, there is no need to consider the attitude of Britain and France.
The Ming Empire temporarily gave up its attempt to advance northward, and concentrating its troops on the southeast peninsula was a plan that Zhu Mu had always made with Wang Jue. From the beginning, they did not want to change Ge Tianzhang's established national policy of first the south and then the north, and Zhu Mu's promise to Ge Tianzhang, including mentioning to the ministers the idea of not changing the established national policy, was in fact true.
It's just that he has kicked out Ge Tianzhang and Cheng Zhixin, two ministers who firmly support the strategy of first the south and then the north, and reused a large number of fierce generals such as Zhang Jianjun, Guo Xing and Wang Yan who rose in the north, leaving people with the impression that they want to take the lead in the northwest. Who could have known that all this was just an appearance, Wang Jue had already taken a secret order from him a few months ago and went south to the Southeast Peninsula?
After talking about blackmailing Muscovy and stopping preparations for war in the northwest, Zhu Mu set his eyes in the direction where Ceylon was, and a pair of good-looking eyes narrowed into a slit, hiding his golden eyes - Miao Shengye, I don't know if I am qualified to be your opponent?
……
The Great Dynasty Meeting ended in this way in the shocked eyes of a large group of powerful ministers, and even Wang Jianfeng always thought that a new war of the Ming Empire would break out in the bitter cold land of Siberia, and the high degree of secrecy of Zhu Mu's determination to go south can be seen.
However, it has been kept secret until now, and at this time when Ceylon has shown its hole cards to the Ming Empire, there is no need to continue to keep it secret. As long as the non-aggression pact between the Ming Empire and Muscovy is signed, everyone will find that they have been fooled, and the direction in which the Ming Empire really wants to do it is self-evident.
As soon as the meeting ended, an official of the military department hurriedly got into a carriage and rushed to a quiet courtyard on the outskirts of the city. In this courtyard lives the former Pavilion Elder, the once hot military secretary of the Ming Empire, Ge Tianzhang Ge Lao.
Although it has been almost a year since Ge Tianzhang officially removed the bones of the beggar, this old man still stayed in Beijing because of the emperor's special care. The young emperor who approved Ge Tianzhang's bones couldn't tell whether he was guilty or wanted to kill them all, so he gave a set of suburban courtyards, so that Ge Tianzhang could not leave the capital like this.
This annex looks ordinary on the surface, but there is a cave inside. There are several small courtyards with carved beams and paintings, and there is even a pond dug out by hand, which is simply a paradise. It costs a lot of money to send such a house in Jingshi, and after Ge Tianzhang saw this imperial house, he couldn't tell whether the new owner in the Forbidden City cared for him or hated him.
Although he has no bottom in his heart, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, he was highly valued when he was young, and he was over eighty years old and became a cabinet minister, so he lived in this courtyard with trepidation, and lived an idle life every day that made him extremely worried.
The military officer's carriage galloped through the streets, through the streets and alleys, and finally through a green woodland, stopping at the gate of this little-known but well-known courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing. At the behest of his master, the coachman came to the gate that was not very spacious, stretched out his hand and tapped it lightly three times, and then waited there, respectfully.
