Chapter 255: The Best Way
Mobile reading
Minister Li nodded slightly: "The strategy I came up with is to harass in many ways and focus on cracking down, these robbers are not playing cards according to common sense at all, and they have been on the border for several years, until now it has become a big disaster, and it is by no means by winning one or two battles once and for all."

Besides, for so many years, we have asked people to pay tribute to the Japanese Kou every year, and even in order to get a moment of peace, we have to let our princess go to marry the Japanese Kou, but these Japanese Kou are not satisfied and covet our Ming land for several years.
The victory or defeat between our two countries is not just in the military. Now is the key to victory or defeat, and it is not just the battlefield that we can see. Minister Li said solemnly: "Such as the army, these Japanese are fierce by nature, although their number is not as much as our Ming Dynasty, but they are perennially warlike to maximize their combat effectiveness, and our Ming Dynasty, our Ming people are originally kind, plus they have not participated in the war for many years, the border has been due to the drought in recent years, and the military salary is getting less and less, and if we start a war now, how can we fight with our millions of soldiers and 100,000 tyrannical enemies?" ”
When the prime minister heard him say this, he pouted in displeasure and stood up: "Your Majesty, don't you think that his words seem to be raising the morale of others and destroying his own prestige?" How can our millions of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty be defeated by their few hundred thousand bandits? Although it is true that we have not participated in any real war in recent years, we soldiers have never slackened in our training in peacetime, and I think Minister Li is timid and afraid. ”
The prime minister glanced at Minister Li with disdain.
Minister Li was angry and pointed at the prime minister: "You! ”
"Okay, don't quarrel with the two Aiqing, Uncle Li, I also know what you said, so you better talk about your method first."
"Okay." Minister Li didn't care about these quick words with the prime minister, but continued: "Your Majesty, although we are high in combat power by relying on it, but in terms of national strength, the Japanese are indeed no more than our Ming. Don't look at the vastness of their territory, their manpower is only a few hundred thousand people, as long as I am a big name, not in a hurry, step by step, steady and steady, I think I can drag the Japanese to death. ”
"Drag, how long is it going to drag?" The prime minister still shook his head: "These widows are constantly harassing these villages and tribes on our border, and we can only watch them do evil, how can we drag them to death?" ”
"Why can't you drag it out?" Minister Li smiled proudly: "Prime Minister, you forgot." Not only do we pay tribute to the border treasures every year, but also our merchants can do some grain trading, the outside of the country is a bitter cold land, these pirates are not good at farming, originally the grain production is small, if we can strictly check the merchants at the border gates, or strictly prohibit these merchants from exporting grain to the border, so that not a grain of grain can leave our country, and then we will beat it from the side, I think that starvation alone can starve many of them to death. ”
Mu Changgu was very appreciative of Minister Li's method when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth were not tight, but the prime minister said indomitively: "It's good that you wouldn't come to harass us, how can we harass them?" ”
"They harass us from land, then we harass them from the water, and we cut off their food supply, I think they will not be long before they throw in the towel, and we don't have to go to war, not only to avoid the casualties of the people, but also to stop us from being harassed by them." Minister Li said unhurriedly.
The prime minister wanted to say something, but Mu Changgu preemptively said: "Uncle Li, you are really my Uncle Li, then this matter is handed over to Uncle Li, I think Uncle Li will definitely handle it, this method is worth trying, if these widows still can't be taught, then we should take tough measures when we should take tough measures, do you think it's okay, Prime Minister?" ”
The last sentence was what Mu Changgu said to the prime minister, he knew that the prime minister wanted to send troops to fight very much, and Mu Changgu was hindered by the prime minister's power in the court, so he couldn't help but let him score three points.
The prime minister looked at Mu Changgu and said this, and he couldn't be aggressive anymore, so he folded his hands: "Yes, Your Majesty is wise." ”
After the prime minister finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and returned to where he was standing, and glared at him fiercely as he passed Minister Li.
Minister Li was not surprised, and folded his hands: "Your Majesty is wise." ”
Mu Changgu bowed his hand: "Uncle Li, do you think there is anything else you need?" ”
Minister Li smiled: "The minister really needs something." ”
"Uncle Li, just say it, I will definitely satisfy you." Mu Changgu said with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
"Your Majesty, the things that the minister wants are not valuable, as long as you trust and support them." Minister Li said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" Mu Changgu laughed when he heard Minister Li say this: "Okay, Uncle Li, you are doing things for the people, of course I have to support you with all my might, as for trust, since my father trusts you so much, of course I will always trust you." ”
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Minister Li thanked him and returned to his place.
When passing by the prime minister's side, the prime minister's face did not change and said in a volume that could only be heard by the two of them: "Sycophant." ”
Minister Li smiled and didn't care.
Mu Changgu smiled for the first time in the past few months: "Do you Aiqing still have anything to play?" ”
There was a quiet place below, and Mu Changgu nodded: "Then retreat." ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All Aiqing knelt down and sent Mu Changgu away.
"Hmph." When the ministers dispersed, the prime minister deliberately walked to Minister Li and his henchmen: "You'd better give me success, or I'll definitely join you." ”
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern." Minister Li bowed to the prime minister with a smile on his face.
The prime minister glared at Minister Li fiercely, flicked his sleeves and left, followed by a group of small eunuchs hurriedly chased after him.
"I think he's worried that he won't be able to make money now." A minister beside Minister Li said with a smile.
"Alright, let's go." Minister Li didn't want to gossip, he just wanted to implement this matter as soon as possible.
"Ahem!"
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Mu Changgu walked in the corridor, coughing violently, he had been holding back in the main hall just now, for fear that these ministers would see something.
Gonggong Li worriedly supported Mu Changgu.
Mu Changgu shook his head: "It's okay, it's just that I've been depressed recently, and now that things have progressed, I can be relieved."
"Your Majesty, leave this matter to Minister Li, don't worry, there are really few people in the court who can trust you and help you." Gonggong Li sighed.
