It is indeed the end of the year.

After the heavy snowfall, Bauhinia City, as in previous years, has a different beauty than usual. The snow obscured the red walls and green tiles, and the splendor of the golden walls, softened the buildings that symbolized power.

Step out of the Qianqing Palace. Yang Gengai took a deep breath and let the cold air penetrate through his heart.

"It's so cold!" Yang exhaled.

"Your Majesty, let's sit on a chariot, this snow has just fallen, and the ground is very slippery." Wang Chengen said.

"No, let's go......" Yang reformed and vetoed Wang Chengen's proposal.

……

Mandarin Palace.

The ministers have been waiting for the emperor here for a long time.

Yang Gai looked at it, and the people were still very uniform.

After a brief salute, it was time to get down to business.

"Regarding the matter of Yuan Bing's troops leading troops to level the Japanese, you can also discuss it." Yang Reform got straight to the point.

The courtiers immediately began to discuss in a strange way.

The matter of the actual peace of the Japanese has long been discussed in the court, and related matters have been discussed before because of the conflict with the Japanese state. But this time, it's a little different from before, this time, it's going to be a serious war, and it's very different from the previous touch and rub.

Many of the ministers' eyes and demeanor were strange.

Chen Yuting was also very helpless. This matter has been discussed earlier, what the actual emperor should do is still what to do, even if everyone disagrees with the emperor's idea, maybe the emperor is what? As soon as the emperor gave an order, he said that the navigation would be closed, and he said that he would help the Ryukyus restore the country, and he would help the Ryukyus restore the country, and they could manage the emperor? As soon as the emperor gave an order, those people in Jiangnan who did not deal with the emperor well and relied on overseas trade to eat immediately poured blood mold, and the things produced in a year, except for selling them at a low price to those who could go to sea, could only rot at home.

Those people haven't thought about it, it's not that they haven't thought of a way, but the fact is so ruthless, the ministers of the court heard about it, they just shook their heads, they couldn't help it at all, they could fool the emperor before, and they could also deceive the emperor for not knowing about the affairs of the sea, and they went up and down, holding the emperor according to everyone's ideas, but now, who dares to mention that matter to the emperor? The emperor will ask you a few words and can't stand it, the emperor's understanding of the sea is definitely beyond the vast majority of people, the little bit of the sea is greasy, the emperor can see it more clearly than anyone else, and he can grasp it more accurately than anyone else, the rhetoric and methods used to deal with the emperor don't work here at all.

The emperor has Zheng Zhilong, who was born as a pirate, and he has the sailor who was born from Mao Wenlong, these two groups of people are the masters who only listen to the emperor's words, what the emperor tells them to do, they will do it, if it is unpleasant, they are more willing to do the old business to come out and seal the voyage, and rob by order, there is nothing more refreshing than this.

As soon as the emperor made a move, he hit the seven inches of this matter, and he didn't give you a chance to struggle at all, and now in that place in the south of the Yangtze River, all the people who are related to the affairs of the sea, that one is not a fart to pay taxes to the tax inspector? The one who dares to say no to the emperor? Isn't that obedient? Now this matter, it seems that it needs to be fought for, but Chen Yuting knows that there is no need to fight for this matter, and it is useless to fight.

Of course, he, the appointed opposition, has to come out and pretend, who told him to do this? That's what troubles him, why did he say that this kind of thing would never succeed?

"Your Majesty, is Your Majesty going to conquer the Wa Kingdom on a large scale?" Chen Yuting stood up and fulfilled his duties.

"Yes, now that I have my hands free, I want to level the country of Wa ......" Yang Reform said without any worries, his domineering spirit had inadvertently leaked out.

“…… Your Majesty, the Wa Kingdom is a country that is not to be conquered...... "Chen Yuting can only pick up these old rotten grains to perfunctory.

"Hehehe, okay, the Qing family don't use these excuses to talk about things, the country of non-conquest was set at the time of Taizu, if the country has always been respectful to our dynasty, there will be no such thing today, but unfortunately, it backfired, I think Taizu would not have thought that the country would do so many evil things to my dynasty, if Taizu knew that the country was this kind of goods, I was afraid that the first one would destroy the country of Japan......" Yang Gai said with a smile. …,

"Your Majesty is reasonable...... Chen Yuting sighed secretly, why did he do this? This is said in vain, it really doesn't make sense!

“…… Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the army is pressing, I am afraid that it will be a lot of waste......" Another minister stood up and said, this minister's tone was not powerful, and it seemed that he was extremely reluctant to come out perfunctory.

Chen Yuting felt a lot more relieved when he saw that someone was speaking for him, he was not in vain, at least a few obedient people helped him, so as not to embarrass him too much.

"The matter of the spending, I have already had a rough budget through the past two years of exploration, and it will not have any impact on foreign and domestic affairs...... Yang Gai said. The preparations made by Ping Wei, and Yang Reform did a lot.

The person who came out to help Chen Yuting relieve the siege helped Chen Yuting relieve the siege and completed his task, so he didn't plan to say more, so he retreated, saying that he had nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, the matter of pacifying the Japanese people, the minister thinks that to deal with the small Japanese country, there is no need to have the military department Shangshu personally go out, the small Japanese country is not worthy of such a ...... of our dynasty," a minister said.

The minister's words caused many people's attention.

What is going to be? Is this a fight to pacify? This feng shui is turning so fast!

Han Yi was anxious, he didn't expect that someone would come out to fight for this matter, this was an errand tailored for his student! It's specially used for his students to brush their resumes! How can anyone fight for this? Why is there anyone fighting for this? It's shameless, isn't it?

Yuan Chonghuan is also in his heart, how is this doing? He didn't say anything about it when he didn't show up, and when he came forward to tell the story, he came to rob it? The wicked do it themselves, and others take it?

Yang Gengai smiled and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the court immediately became strange.

Chen Yuting was a little sideways, why did this matter get into contention? He is also ready to oppose Yuan Chonghuan and lead troops to pacify the Japanese, and now this is a fight? In that case, there is no need for him to come out and be this wicked person.

The atmosphere in the court was awkward and strange.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say......" Someone broke this "calm" atmosphere. But the one who spoke was self-disciplined.

"Oh, what do you have to say?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Returning to Your Majesty, although our dynasty has always called the Japanese country as if the Japanese country is vulnerable, but as far as the minister knows, the population of the Japanese country is only millions, or even tens of millions, it is not impossible, and tens of thousands of horses can be dispatched across the sea to fight for several years, how can a small country do? Your Majesty, the matter of peace is definitely not as easy as imagined, and it is by no means as simple as imagined! Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is a positive ......number to go out to fight for the peace of the Japanese as a supervisor or governor, Your Majesty, you must not underestimate the Japanese ...... "Bi Ziyan came out to relieve Yuan Chonghuan, and the way to relieve the siege is also special.

The ministers are sideways and self-strict.

"Hehehe, this is true, I have been registering the Japanese country for the past two years, although I don't know as well as Dongyu, and even count people, but I also understand a seven, seven, eighty, eight or eight, although the number of people is different, but it is not far behind, in terms of population, it is true that we can't underestimate the Japanese country, and I still have to take out the ...... that I have done my best" Yang Gai said with a smile.

After listening to what the emperor said, the ministers were all black lines. The matter of registering the enemy is probably what the emperor can do, and the census of the population of the Dongyu will be counted to the family, to the household, to the person, and to the death of one by one, which is simply the style of the Lord of Yama. Unexpectedly, now the Wa Kingdom also enjoys this treatment. Think about the end of being an enemy with the emperor is that the emperor takes the book and ticks the name one by one, and it chills when you think about it. …,

At the meeting, there was another awkward silence.

"Yuan Qing's family, since you insist on going to Pingwu, do you have any plans for Pingwu?" Yang Gengai asked, and in order to ease the atmosphere, Yang Gengai asked something else.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the peace of the Japanese is a major event of our dynasty, as Your Majesty said, you need to do your best, you need to do your best, there must be no slackness, and you must not give the country the slightest chance to turn over, the minister thinks that this time the peace of the Japanese, can only win, can not lose......" Yuan Chonghuan stood up and said.

“…… Well, that makes sense, go on. Yang reformed.

“…… The war of peace and war, but different from the war on land, the war was in the depths of the sea, the war supply and transportation all relied on boats, the victory of the warship won the war, and the defeat of the warship led to the defeat of the war,...... Therefore, in the battle of Pingwei, it is necessary to have effective warships......" Yuan Chonghuan began to explain this matter.

“…… Well, that makes sense, keep ......," Yang said.

“…… The battle of the peace and the war, because it is different from the war on land, can not be estimated according to the set of battles on land, it is by no means that once the army arrives, the state of the Japanese will be annihilated, this is almost impossible, to draw the war of the Japanese, there must be a tactics adapted to naval warfare, a strategy to adapt to naval warfare......" Yuan Chonghuan continued.

“…… Well, that makes sense, the Qing family continued......" Yang said.

“…… Your Majesty, it stands to reason that the Japanese country is not small, almost with the population of our dynasty, that is to say, it has almost the strength of our dynasty, if there is a full-scale war with the Japanese country, at least we need to show the strength of our dynasty of one percent, so that we can have a draw with the Japanese country, and take out two percent of the strength, almost the possibility of win,......ning," Yuan Chonghuan explained.

“…… Well, it makes sense...... and then said...... "Yang Reform knows these things much better than Yuan Chonghuan, and when he says this, he is for the ministers."

“…… If we want to pacify the Japanese and fight with the Japanese country, I am afraid that the actual force used will be more than 20 percent, and if there is a chance of winning, I am afraid that it will have to use 40 percent of the force......," Yuan Chonghuan said.

“…… Well, there is some truth to this, and it does take a lot of extra damage to cross the ocean......" Yang said.

“…… However, the war outside the border is still going on, and in order to completely subside it, there are still natural disasters in the country, and it is impossible to spend so much energy to quell the ......, otherwise, it will definitely drag me down to ...... myself," Yuan Chonghuan said.

“…… Makes sense, and then said......" Yang said.

“…… Therefore, the minister thought that the battle of Pingwei could not be equated with the battle of the country, nor could it be possible for a large army to overwhelm the border, so he could only work the word "tricks......" Yuan Chonghuan said.

“…… It makes sense, if I remember correctly, when the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, Kublai Khan, conquered the Japanese, it seems that he used a lot of people, and it seems that the result was not very good, but now I am conquest of the Japanese, but I have to learn a lesson......" Yang Gai said.

Speaking of Kublai Khan's failure to conquer the Japanese, the ministers were in a bit of a commotion, and many people's faces showed puzzled and worried looks, and many people were even ready to stand up and persuade the emperor again.

“…… Returning to Your Majesty, yes, the conquest of the Japanese failed in that year, and I should learn a lesson, therefore, this time, we must not make the mistakes of the year again, and we must not use tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of horses to fight to the death against the Japanese ......, this is what the minister said to be a trick...... "Yuan Chonghuan's voice covered up the voice of the ministers.

When the ministers heard this, they all fell silent.

“…… Then the Qing family said, how to take a trick? Yang asked reform.

“…… Returning to Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, since the war between the Japanese and our dynasty in Korea, the vitality has been injured, it seems that the ability to build ships has declined greatly, and it seems that there is a meaning of closing the country in ......it, and the warships of the Japanese country are not as many as our dynasty, and now they are closed to the country and restricted from going to sea, and the level of the warships is even lower, and there are almost no big ships, therefore, the minister thinks that when the big ships fight the small ships, the strong ships fight the weak ships, the long guns fight the close guns, the big cannons fight the small cannons, the elite soldiers fight the weak soldiers, the fast fights the slow, and the strong fight the weak ......, The territory of the Japanese kingdom is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and as long as an elite ship attacks everywhere, lands at any point, and then fights any weak soldiers, then the Japanese country can be said to have no power to fight back against our dynasty, and there is no way to ...... except to let our dynasty slaughter it," Yuan Chonghuan said carefully. …,

The ministers began to discuss, although the emperor's intention to conquer the Japanese was not a day or two, but when they really heard the strategy of pacifying the Japanese, some ministers listened very carefully for the first time.

“…… Well, it makes sense, if I remember correctly, my dynasty is also very afraid that after the Donglu occupies the grassland, knock on any point of the side wall, so I sent troops to fight the Dongyu to the death......" Yang Reform said with Yuan Chonghuan.

“…… Returning to Your Majesty, it is precisely that there are thousands of miles of border walls in our court, as well as military forts all over the country, so I dare to use the side wall as a support to guard against enemies outside the border, but even so, if the Dongyu really lives in the grassland, it will still be a nightmare for my court,...... I think that the Japanese country has no boundless walls on the sea, and the sea frontier is even longer, and the soldiers are not as elite as our dynasty, and the national strength is even less powerful than our dynasty,...... Therefore, as long as we attack at any point, there is no other way for the Japanese to be able to cope with it except to be tired of coping, as long as it is repeated several times, the Japanese country will definitely not be able to stand it, and there is no other way to ...... except to ask for peace with our dynasty, and our dynasty will be victorious without victory......," Yuan Chonghuan said.

Some of the ministers were talking about it.

“…… Well, it makes sense, it is indeed unwise to have a decisive battle on land with the Japanese State, if it can make the Japanese State tired to deal with, and let the Japanese State run and break its leg, I think the strength of the Japanese State will further decline ......, when the time comes, it can be a fatal ......, not enough, this method alone, I am afraid it is not enough, if you want to subdue the Japanese State, just run overseas, I am afraid that it is not enough...... "Yang Reform said.

"Returning to Your Majesty, yes, this is only one of the strategies of the ministers, there are other strategies that cooperate with each other, so that the ......word "peace and widow" Yuan Chonghuan said with great confidence.

"Okay, let's talk about it......" Yang said.

“…… Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if we learn from our dynasty's methods of dealing with the Mongols, establish a maritime imperial cooperative army, recruit the imperial alliance army from the Japanese people, assist our dynasty in doing things, and then use the Japanese to deal with the Japanese people, and let the Japanese people kill each other, this can play a role in constantly weakening the Japanese state, and can also make the Japanese internal strife, so that our dynasty can take the opportunity to make ......profits, and in this way, it can play a role in leveraging strength, can reduce our dynasty's investment in the war of peace and security, and can greatly save national ......strength," Yuan Chonghuan said. These words are completely the words of the emperor, and when he says them, he seems to be his own.

The ministers were in a commotion again, this battle of Pingwei, from Yuan Chonghuan's mouth, was indeed different, and it was indeed very different from the road that everyone was familiar with.

“…… Your Majesty, the Imperial Allied Army used by our dynasty to deal with the Mongols gave the Mongolian Imperial Allied Army trade privileges, and used some Mongols to suppress other Mongols, and this time against the Japanese State, it should be the same, when the Imperial Allied Army of the Japanese State was given special trade rights, let the Japanese people fight themselves, and I watched from the wall and reaped the benefits of the fishermen, and the maximum effect could be achieved with the least strength......" Yuan Chonghuan continued to explain his strategic vision.

“…… Well, that makes sense, and then ......" Yang said.

At this time, the ministers had already understood Yuan Chonghuan's basic strategy of fighting the Japanese state, and as soon as Yuan Chonghuan's words came out, the ministers almost all understood the meaning of this strategy. As soon as Yuan Chonghuan said it, they already understood how this battle of peace and security was fought.

Chen Yuting is really a little unwilling, he is so oppositionist to the emperor, he is squeezed every day, he is a grandson every day, and he is "scolded" by the emperor every day.

Many ministers are like this, they all look like they are, they all look like they regret, they knew it was so simple, who wouldn't want to go? What's the risk? You don't have to go into battle at all, just stand in the rear and command to log in here today, and go ashore there tomorrow, which is almost a waste of credit! …,

“…… Your Majesty, and this Imperial Army, now there are ready-made, when Your Majesty helped the Ryukyu Kingdom to restore the country, he had expelled a lord of the Wa Kingdom, it seems to be called the Satsuma Domain, which is at the southernmost tip of the Wa Kingdom, as if surrounded by the sea on three sides, as far as the minister knows, this place is barren, even if it is a local daimyo, life is also hard, if our dynasty suddenly presses the border with the elite, hit him by surprise, before the Wa Kingdom does not react, suppress the Satsuma Domain to become the imperial army of our dynasty,...... As long as the Satsuma clan tastes the sweetness of being the emperor's allied army, everything can ......be done," Yuan Chonghuan continued.

The ministers regret it, it's that simple? If you know it, you should go by yourself, no, you should recommend your own people to go, this credit is simply a proper hand......

"Hehehe...... it makes sense, the Qing family said this, I already have a basic understanding of how to level the widows, the strategy is simple, but it is feasible, the resources consumed are small, the fruits can be obtained, and the harvest is greater than the expenditure......" Yang Reform said with a smile.

“…… His Majesty Xie praised ...... "Yuan Chonghuan has always been impassioned and generous just now, and it was only at this time that he blushed, this is the emperor's strategy, he is just using it."

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, as soon as the Yuan Qing family said this, I already know at a glance how to calm the widows, and if there is anyone in the Qing family who doesn't understand, you can ask the Yuan Qing family...... "Yang Reform pressed his hand, and said after the ministers were quiet.

The ministers regretted it, in the eyes of many people, it was an extremely difficult thing to level the Japanese, and the winning rate was even more pitiful, so they were still skeptical about this matter, and almost no one came out to fight, but now that Yuan Chonghuan said this, he knew that the so-called Pingwei was like this, and it was not at all that the army pressed the border and destroyed the Japanese country, but tortured the Japanese country in such a circle, and it was true that the emperor wanted to sell things......

“…… Your Majesty, the minister dares to ask, what is the name of the teacher? Otherwise, it's not easy to explain to the world! ......" Chen Yuting sighed secretly and continued to sing the opposite. If he had known that this was the case with Pingwei, he would have pushed out the people in his hands a long time ago.

“…… Yuan Qing's family ......," Yang shouted.

“…… After all, it is too far away, but the Korean War is a great harm to our DPRK, our dynasty has killed and injured millions of people, Liaodong has fallen, Dongyu has risen, and tens of millions ......of counterinsurgency expenses have been spent, which has to be counted on the head of the Japanese state, and this has to be compensated by the Japanese state," Yuan Chonghuan said hatefully.

The ministers who knew the inside story were better, and those who didn't know the inside story were looking at Yuan Chonghuan dumbfounded, which was too ruthless. Even if the country sells itself, it can't afford to pay back that much money. Of course, this is a fact, and it is indeed the unanimous understanding of the court.

“…… Is this just afraid that the Japanese country can't afford to lose so much money? Yang asked reform.

"It's one thing to go back to Your Majesty, it's one thing to not be able to afford compensation, but who do I want to go to for the deaths and injuries of the people of my court, and the losses of my court? I can't just forget about so many deaths and injuries to the people, right? You can't lose so much property and money, just forget it, these pains can't be silently let me face the people, let me bear it to myself, right? Your Majesty, the blood debt must be paid in blood, if you don't teach the Wa State a lesson this time, if you can't pacify the Wa State, you don't know how much damage the Wa State will cause to our dynasty next time, last time it was counted, this time it is also counted, is it the same next time? Is my life not my life to the people, and is my blood shed against the people in vain? ......" Yuan Chonghuan shouted out with anger mixed with resentment.

This shout definitely deafened the ears of the courtiers.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, in the name of debt repayment and revenge, do you think there is a problem? Yang reform's hand pressed again, and then said lightly. …,

The ministers are looking at each other, this reason is really ruthless enough, who came out to stop it, and the emperor still doesn't want him to come out to compensate for those lives? What damages are compensated?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no problem, and the pain in the hearts of the people can be calmed internally, and I think that the Japanese country also knows what they have done, and this reason is very good both internally and externally......" Han Yi glanced at an opportunity and said. Han Yi originally thought that this matter was his loss, and the emperor decided that Yuan Chonghuan would not have much of a problem, but who knows, there are not too many people who want to fight, he thinks it is better to determine Yuan Chonghuan as soon as possible, with Yuan Chonghuan's temper, staying in Beijing, staying in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, it is really not safe, it is better to go to a place to exercise more.

“…… Well, that makes sense......" Yang said.

“…… Your Majesty, the minister recommended Chen Shilang of the Ministry of Rites to go to the sea to level the Japanese...... "Someone saw that the matter was almost done, and immediately turned around and began to recommend their own people, but they had a posture that did not allow Yuan Chonghuan to enjoy it alone.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommended the governor of Denglai......"

“…… Your Majesty, the minister recommended the head of the military department......"

In the court, there was a commotion.

Yuan Chonghuan Pingwei, although this has a bit of internal meaning, although Yuan Chonghuan was the first to shout out, but after all, Yuan Chonghuan's position is too high, and it still has a bit of excessive meaning when he is released to be a superintendent, and many people recommend "more suitable" candidates.

Han Yi was blushing, he was the one who was frightened at the beginning, and now he is the one who is afraid that it will not work.

Yang Reform let the noisy court make a noise for a while, and then pressed it with his hand. The ministers then fell silent.

“…… Since this matter was first proposed by the Yuan Army, and the strategy of the Yuan Army's Department must be appropriate, it is not suitable for me to appoint other people, this matter will be handed over to the Yuan Army, and it is also a very difficult thing to go to the Yuan Army, it is not easy to do, it may take several years to succeed, you don't think this is too simple...... "Yang reformed the Holy Judgment."

Listening to the emperor say this, the noisy voice gradually subsided, these people are noisy, not necessarily to really go to the peace, but to join in the fun, too many people's names in the world may never enter the emperor's ears, find this opportunity to let the emperor listen to the names of some people, maybe there will be unexpected use in the future.

"Yuan Bingbu!" Yang reformed.

"The minister is here!" Yuan Chonghuan knew that his matter of peace was done, and immediately came out respectfully to accept the order.

"The matter of Pingwei will be handed over to the Qing family! The Qing family is the secretary of the military department and the right deputy capital of the imperial history, the governor of the Ping Wa, the governor of the military affairs of the Japanese state, the governor of the north and south of the naval division, the knowledge of Tianjin, Dengzhou, Jinzhou, Shanghai military affairs, all the ships on the sea north of Ryukyu and Shanghai, all belong to the Qing family's control...... "Yang Gai said. A series of titles, but they are necessary for Shangshu-level figures to be released and lead troops.

"Command!" Yuan Chonghuan immediately knelt down and answered the order neatly.

The ministers were in a commotion again, this right is indeed not small, in the future, most of the sea, especially the trade to the Japanese country, will be under the control of this one, and its right can definitely be said to be hot.

“…… This is something that our dynasty, and even the Central Plains Dynasty has never been able to do, and the Qing family needs to be cautious, if it can succeed, it will be a miracle ......," Yang Gai said.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has written it down, and I must be careful not to disappoint Your Majesty......" Yuan Chonghuan said.

“…… The Qing family is peaceful, and I should give strong support, and the warships, ships, personnel, and ports needed will be deployed for the Qing family one by one to help the Qing family...... "Yang Gai said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Only by doing your best can you show the heart of a minister......" Yuan Chonghuan immediately agreed.

“…… Okay, if it's superfluous, I won't say much, taking advantage of the fact that it's still freezing and I can't go to sea, I'll stay in Beijing for the time being, and carefully sort out this strategy, so as not to be caught ......off guard at sea," Yang Gai said. Yang Reform still gave Yuan Chonghuan a lot of rights, although Yuan Chonghuan is a relatively two-person person, and sometimes he will do unexpected things, but Yang Reform still decided to do this, thinking that Yuan Chonghuan should always make some progress after his own training for so long.

With Yuan Chonghuan's temperament, giving him such a big official position and giving him such a big right seems to be taking a risk, but in fact, there are other benefits, this is almost the right of the navy, and the next step, the navy department should be called out, the navy and the six departments go hand in hand, and the Ming Dynasty will be a different situation.
