"Fourth uncle, you are a smart person, I will point to a question, how to solve it next, there are many ways, you can figure it out by yourself."

Zhu Di's eyes flickered and nodded.

Zhu Xiongying said: "In addition to the generals, but also need to govern the ministers, Yao Guangxiao has served as a commander in Liangguang for many years, made a lot of achievements in Liangguang, and is also very familiar with Annan, let Yao Guangxiao be responsible for collecting intelligence for you, as for the logistics of money and grain, Xia Yuanji has done a good job in the cabinet, and he is a good hand in the economy, but he is still young, and his father said that he lacks credit as the first assistant of the cabinet, so he will send him to prepare logistics money and grain for you, and develop Guangxi and Qiongzhou, and I will also send you a few good hands. ”

"All in all, salute first and then soldier, then fight after the civil fight, and then fight the military war after the economic war, as long as the economy controls the Annan Chen Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty has no confidence to start a war with us at all, and then we only need an economic blockade, and the Annan Chen Dynasty is in chaos, they will cry and shout to join me Daming."

"It's really not good, it's okay to win over the nobles of the Chen Dynasty in Annam to hold a referendum, vote in groups, and come to power in a coup d'état."

Zhu Di's eyes lit up and nodded.

Zhu Xiongying took a few steps with his teeth, and said: "The other is weapons and equipment, you should already know that we have developed a lot of new weapons and equipment, such as grenades and mortars, as well as the latest Hongwu III, Hongwu III still has problems now, ammunition is easy to get wet, so I suggest you bring more mortars and grenades, now the new grenade has white phosphorus added to it, and it can explode on impact, which is more secure than Hongwu III." ”

"In addition to mortars and grenades, that is, rockets, the arrows of rockets miss, which are filled with gunpowder and white phosphorus, also explode on impact, and now the latest rockets and grenades are sharp weapons for dealing with dense formations, you should pay more attention to these two things."

"Besides, it's kerosene."

"The fire oil in Shaanxi and Gansu is not low now, and a lot of Yanyun land has been mined, there will be no big war in the north for the time being, you can bring some more, this thing has a miraculous effect on those fortresses in Annam."

"Whether it is a civil fight or a martial arts, you have to accept the pirate Chen Zuyi, after you go to Guangxi, you are the governor of Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty, and I am fully responsible for the affairs of Qiongzhou and the South China Sea in Guangxi, and the matter of subduing Chen Zuyi will fall on you, Chen Zuyi has nearly 2,000 warships, subdued him, and turned back to blockade the south of the Anhai Sea, and Annan is the turtle in the urn of our Ming Dynasty."

"But the fourth uncle must remember that Chen Zuyi is different from other pirates, he has his own base in Luzon, so you have to use some thought to subdue him, you are also experienced in the battlefield, I don't need to say how to use means."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "Naval warfare is different from land warfare, but your fourth uncle and I will never despise any enemy. ”

Zhu Xiongying nodded happily, the two glanced at each other, and thought in their hearts, in this way, my Ming will definitely be able to take down Annan.

Zhu Xiongying patted his head and said: "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, fourth uncle, don't forget to urge a variety of local cassava over there, especially Guangxi, the climate of Guangxi and Qiongzhou is very suitable for planting cassava, cassava is an important ration for my Ming Dynasty, just like barley in the north, it can be harvested all year round." ”

Today, cassava has been cultivated in large quantities in Guangxi, Yunnan, and some places in Sichuan.

The rations for famine relief in the north are mainly barley, which matures early and does not require much water.

Barley is barley in the north and barley in Qinghai-Tibet, which is very popular, but unfortunately the yield is not too large.

Cassava is different.

This kind of creature is planted a lot, the yield is extremely high, it will reproduce itself when planted in the wild, it grows all over the mountains, as long as it is cooked when it is done, the skin is removed, except for some stomach acid pantothenic acid water after eating, there are almost no shortcomings.

It can be used to make wine, it can be used as a sun-dried cassava, it can be ground into powder, it can be used to make cassava flour, and it can also be used to feed livestock, cattle, sheep and horses.

It is used to feed pigs, and pigs also like to eat.

After Zhu Di heard this, he was silent for a moment and said: "Cassava cultivation is already the top priority of the Guangxi Military Garrison, and I am afraid that we will have to inspect the land reform of Guangxi Juntian." ”

Zhu Xiongying nodded.

Oh, yes......

He squinted his eyes and said: "When you go to the local area, you have a good inspection of whether the local generals of the guard station have bullied the military households, and in addition, the local land reform in Guangxi, there have been many prevarications before, it is estimated that the local resistance is very great, and it is difficult for the students of Taixue and Guozijian to do their work in the past, so you went to help them implement it well." ”

"At the same time, do not think about victory, first think about defeat, if Annam wins, then I will be cut off from the South China Sea trade route, we must be prepared to fight a protracted war, choose another route, that is, to carry out an extreme economic blockade and maritime blockade of Annam, when the time comes, you should also know what to do, that is, just like we did with the Mongols of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, a piece of sail is not allowed to go to the sea, and many military ships are sent to plunder near the coastline of Annam, and the rice and business travelers of Annam are not allowed to come and go to my Ming Dynasty, Annam has few people and many fields, and rice is exported to our country, I don't import rice from other places, most of their rice has to rot in the barn, these years, their nobles sold rice to me Daming, but they made a lot of money......"

Zhu Di laughed and said: "Yes, in the short term, it looks like Annan is rich and the people are rich, but as long as it is blocked by my Ming economy, it won't be long before its economy will naturally collapse, especially the people of Annan rely on the sea to eat the sea, as long as we master the sea, so that they can not go to the sea and trade on land, the domestic nobles and famous businessmen will be in chaos, and it will only take two or three months for the businessmen to betray the country!" ”

Zhu Xiongying said in his heart, he is worthy of being the fourth uncle, and he can understand it at one point.

He pursed his lips and coughed, and said: "You can also use other means, such as using money to buy the border people of Annan immigrants, I am rich and poor in Annan, if we offer all kinds of preferential treatments, then the people of Annan will definitely bring their families and mouths to join our country, and you can consider all kinds of means." ”

At this time, Princess Xu Miaohua brought the tea.

After she put down the tea, she didn't leave, but looked at Zhu Xiongying, pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, can I ask you something?" ”

Zhu Xiongying took a sip of tea and wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

"Dare to ask, what do you think of my sister Xu Miaojin? Recently, there have been rumors in the palace that you want to marry her as the crown princess, but ......"

"Princess, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I'm still young, it's impossible to get married."

"Besides, your girl ......"

Thinking of Xu Miaojin's appearance, Zhu Xiongying's head shook into a rattle: "I'm not interested in her." ”

"Who are you not interested in!"

At this time, an arrogant voice sounded, and the three of them were startled, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a writhing woman in women's clothes behind the screen next to the room, with red faces and red ears, all muttering, and staring at Zhu Xiongying with pretty eyes.

It's not Xu Miaojin or who.

Zhu Xiongying was startled, hurriedly shrank back, and said, "Eh, fourth uncle, let's talk another day!" ”

As he spoke, he ran outside.

Xu Miaojin was furious when she saw this, and chased after her.

Zhu Di and Princess Xu Miaohua looked at each other.

Zhu Di was a little angry and said: "You can't tell the difference between the important and the serious, I am talking about state affairs with the prince, how can I let the fourth sister in!" ”

Xu Miaohua said aggrievedly: "I didn't know that she sneaked in, besides, the emperor personally told his father that if he wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry the fourth sister Miaojin, he will meet sooner or later, right?" ”

She pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: "The fourth sister also seems to be interested in His Royal Highness the Prince, this is the first time I have seen her put powder makeup on her face, like a little beauty......"

Zhu Di said: "The girl's mind is always full of spring......"
