Chapter 623: The Son of Heaven's Intention to Use Soldiers
An old minister couldn't help but say loudly on the spot: "Ridiculous, it's really ridiculous, I will go to the kingdom tomorrow, how can I enter the country of barbarian land, what do Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others want to do, they actually provoke the border, there is still Your Majesty in their eyes, but there is still a law"
Li Bangxian, as a great sage in the line of science, has a very high reputation both in the court and among the scholars, and at the same time he is an old minister of several dynasties.
Some people even bluntly said that Yu Dayou and Yue Buqun had bad intentions, and begged the Son of Heaven to immediately issue an order to recall the fleet to the West, and then severely punish Yu Dayou and Yue Buqun.
However, among the courtiers, there were many officials whose eyes flashed with spirit and excitement.
That's tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, especially the destruction of more than a dozen countries, which is a great feat in any era.
Yang Yiqing, as the first assistant of the cabinet, stepped forward and said directly to Li Bangxian: "Lord Li, this is wrong, Yang thinks that Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others went to the West to raise the prestige of our Ming country thousands of miles away, and the merit of opening up the territory is nothing more than this, and Your Majesty should reward it." ”
Yang Yiqing, Li Bangxian and others naturally argued in the court, but Zhu Houzhao, as the Son of Heaven, was sitting there at this time, looking down at the recital presented by Yu Dayou and others.
In the recital, Yu Dayou, Yue Buqun and others told the Son of Heaven in detail about their search for Chu Yi, but in the end, they said that they could not find Chu Yi's whereabouts, and asked the Son of Heaven for their guilt.
The messenger who was sent back did not mention the search for Chu Yi, but the things that the Son of Heaven cared about about Chu Yi were all in that chapter.
Therefore, even if Li Bangxian and Yang Yiqing had an argument below, Zhu Houzhao didn't even look at it.
A little disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he gently closed the music in his hand and put it on the table, and his eyes fell on Li Bangxian, Yang Yiqing and the others below.
"Above the court, what kind of system is it that is so noisy, is there still me in your eyes?"
Zhu Houzhao's face flashed a little angry, staring at the officials below, and suddenly saw Yang Yiqing and Li Bangxian lowering their heads and asking Zhu Houzhao for their guilt: "The ministers are rude, please forgive your majesty!" ”
With a light snort, Zhu Hou looked at Li Bangxian and said, "Lord Li, you seem to have an opinion on Yu Dayou and others' actions to destroy the country?" ”
Holding his head high, Li Bangxian looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of heaven, the state of etiquette, and is worshiped by all nations.
With a sneer, I only heard Zhu Houzhao say: "That is what I personally allowed, I said that they are in a foreign country, everything can be decided by themselves, let alone destroy more than a dozen countries, even if it is doubled, I will not blame." ”
Li Bangxian couldn't help but be stunned, obviously he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to support Yu Dayou and the others so strongly, and his face immediately became a little difficult to look at.
"Your Majesty, think twice"
With a wave of his sleeves, Zhu Houzhao said with a little impatience on his face: "Several cabinet elders went to the imperial study to see me and retreat from the court!" ”
After saying this, Zhu Houzhao turned around and left, leaving only Li Bangxian and a few other old ministers there looking at Zhu Houzhao's figure in the distance with a blank face.
Yang Yiqing and the others glanced at Li Bangxian and the others, then turned around and walked in the direction of the imperial study.
In the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao, who had changed into a regular suit, sat there, handed the piece presented by Yu Dayou and a few people to Yang Yiqing and said, "A few elders, take a look." ”
Zhu Houzhao sent Yu Dayou and others to make such a big move, in the final analysis, the ultimate goal was to find Chu Yi, as for destroying the country and opening up the territory, it can only be said that it is incidental.
Compared with destroying more than a dozen kingdoms, Zhu Houzhao would rather Yu Dayou have found Chu Yi's whereabouts with the good news they have received.
With a silent expression, he read the chapter, and then handed it to Wang Hua and several other elders.
Among several elders, Chen Ding's white hair on his head was a little more vigorous, and he was directly dismissed from his official position by the Son of Heaven because he opposed the Son of Heaven to mobilize tens of millions of taels of silver to build a big ship, but it didn't take long for Chen Ding to reinstate himself and continue to be in charge of the household department.
Zhu Houzhao can dislike Chen Ding, but he has great trust in Chen Ding's ability and temperament, at least in Zhu Houzhao's opinion, handing over the household to Chen Ding is more reassuring to him than handing it over to others.
Chen Ding swept through some of the information mentioned above the chapter about the search for Chu Yi's whereabouts, and only heard Chen Ding speak, "Your Majesty, it has been nearly a year since the disappearance of the chief manager, Yu Dayou and they have almost searched all the Western lands, and there is no trace of the chief manager, obviously the chief manager does not want to show up, so he also asks His Majesty to withdraw his order, recruit Yu Dayou and others to return, and at the same time order to stop the construction of the big ship"
Zhu Houzhao said directly to Chen Ding: "Lord Chen doesn't need to say much, I said that if I don't find a partner for a day, I won't give up for a day." Yu Dayou's fleet can't find his companion, so I will send more fleets, if one doesn't work, then two, if two can't work, then three, even if I find the ends of the earth, no matter where my companion is hiding, I must find it. ”
Coughing lightly, Wang Yangming, who replaced Yang Yiqing in charge of the military department, can now be said to be the boss of the Ming military, and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, if what Yu Dayou and others said on the letter is correct, it is impossible to say that the chief manager is really no longer in the West."
Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes, his eyes were full of determination, and said: "Then continue to the west, I don't believe that I can't find a big companion." ”
Wang Yangming hurriedly said: "But further west, it will be the territory of the Xiyi people!" ”
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and said: "Xiyi people? Could it be the alien race that was defeated and captured by Otomo in the first place? ”
Wang Yangming nodded and said: "Exactly, according to the information we have collected over the years, the Xiyi people such as Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and England can be said to be strong on the sea, if my Ming fleet continues to go west, I will have to deal with these countries!" ”
Zhu Houzhao said: "It doesn't matter what kind of maritime power he is, I just need to find my companion and send someone to tell them that I have no malicious intentions, just to find someone." ”
Yang Yiqing and the others couldn't help but smile bitterly, and they heard Yang Yiqing say to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, if that's the case, I'm afraid that those countries won't agree at all." ”
If you put yourself in your shoes, if these countries broke into the territory of the Ming Dynasty with their fleets of soldiers and horses, and then sent people to tell them that they led the soldiers and horses to come just to find people, in this case, would the Ming Dynasty agree?
Obviously, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to agree, and Spain, Portugal, and England are all maritime powers, so of course, it is impossible to let the soldiers and horses of other countries toss around in their own territory.
Zhu Houzhao listened to Yang Yiqing's words, slowly sat up straight, his eyes flashed with infinite majesty, and said in a deep voice: "Then I will destroy their country, I said, if anyone prevents me from finding the whereabouts of my companion, I will block and kill God, and Buddha will block and kill Buddha!" ”
An awe-inspiring murderous force arose, and the imperial majesty on Zhu Houzhao's body was revealed, even people such as Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others couldn't help but feel palpitations in their hearts, obviously influenced by Zhu Houzhao.
Wang Yangming, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, although he said that he did not approve too much of the large-scale use of troops abroad, but Wang Yangming would not oppose the use of troops by the Son of Heaven, standing in his position, Wang Yangming would only make all kinds of preparations for the Son of Heaven, as for what Zhu Houzhao wanted to do, Wang Yangming would not persuade.
"Your Majesty, more than a dozen shipyards are all in operation, and a large fleet with hundreds of warships as the core and hundreds of large and small ships as the auxiliary can be assembled again at the beginning of next month."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, it's really good." ”
Although Zhu Houzhao's attitude is very tough, Zhu Houzhao is not a fool, he knows in his heart that if there are not enough people, Yu Dayou and others have really entered the territory of the Xiyi people, not to mention that they are looking for Chu Yi's whereabouts, but they are afraid that their own safety is a huge problem.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Yangming with great satisfaction, for Wang Yangming, Zhu Houzhao couldn't be more satisfied, since Zhu Houzhao took over the helm of the military department, it can be said that in accordance with the plan discussed by the cabinet, he began to carry out the military reform in a big way.
If it is said that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the guard system was indeed a good policy, providing a steady stream of elite soldiers for the Ming Dynasty, so Chengzu Zhu Di was able to easily gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, several expeditions to Mobei, and completely lost the courage of Meng Yuan's life and death, and he was not able to recover his vitality for hundreds of years.
But now, the health system has become a cancer, this cancer was born on the body of the Ming Dynasty, not only crazy to absorb the efforts of the Ming Dynasty, but also seriously damaged the military strength of the Ming Dynasty.
Even before Chu Yi disappeared, he mentioned with Zhu Houzhao and even several cabinet elders more than once about reforming the health system.
Therefore, after Chu Yi disappeared, Zhu Houzhao began to officially take action against the guard system after discussing with Yang Yiqing and others.
Hundreds of thousands of elite troops have gathered in the land of Beijing, and it can be said that in addition to the land of border towns, there are only more than 100,000 troops, and most of the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are gathered around Beijing, and they are directly dispatched and commanded by the Son of Heaven.
With such elite men and horses who have experienced one battle after another, the millions of guards and horses in the local area are not taken to heart by Zhu Houzhao and others.
Ask for a wave of support.
