It's rude not to engage in a third brother.

When he was overseas, Zhu Zhangui wanted to take advantage of Ah San and civil strife.

It's a pity that the troops in his hands are insufficient, coupled with Zheng He's painstaking persuasion, Zhu Zhangui can only regrettably have no idea of fighting Ah Sange for the time being.

Now that he has returned to Daming, he has gained the trust of the old man and has power in his hands.

This jewel in the queen's crown, he Zhu Zhangui is going to decide.

In the future, it will be the pearl of the Ming Dynasty, the inherent territory of China.

"How many troops do you need?"

After determining how much troops Zhu Zhangui wanted to use, he had to determine how many troops Zhu Zhangui would use.

After all, he had to fight three countries in a row, and there were fewer troops, and he was afraid that Zhu Zhangui would not be able to take it, and if he was defeated again, it would be a shame.

Staring at Xiao Ri and Ah Sange's territorial map, Zhu Zhangui pondered for a long time and said the troops he needed.

"I need to expand the strength of the Ming Navy to about 100 ships, and I need another 30,000 marines and 70,000 army troops. The total number of troops, I plan to be around 150,000. ”

"Coupled with the problems of people and logistics, the number of troops and numbers used will be about 300,000!"

"300,000!"

Hearing this number, the old man frowned and thought about it.

With such a large number of troops, it is impossible to hide from the elders of the imperial court.

Without the cooperation of the six departments, it would be a problem to supply Zhu Zhangui.

"You go back and prepare, tomorrow I will gather people, and we will discuss how to fight and what reasons to use."

Zhu Zhangui knew very well in his heart that if he lived a small life alone, his pirate plan would be enough.

After all, he only grabbed money in the past, and he didn't plan to take down Xiaori's territory for the time being.

But it's different on the third brother's side.

He planned to completely occupy Ah Sange's side, and then build it into a springboard for the Ming Dynasty, become a supply base for the Ming army, and assist the Ming army to occupy larger land.

Since he intends to occupy it for a long time, his strength alone is definitely not enough.

So he needs the full help of the imperial court.

If you want the court to help with all your might, it is definitely not enough to just move the old man.

Daddy Zhu Chubby's side, and the six departments have to talk about moving, so that they can fully support their plans.

There is no problem with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households.

Lu Xin was promoted by Zhu Zhangui and was his own person.

As long as Xia Yuanji's guy can fill up the household, let alone fight a third brother, he will give his full support to start a war with the whole world.

It is more difficult to say that the elders are the father and Yang Shiqi who want to recuperate.

"That's okay, I'll go back and prepare, and try to move them tomorrow, if it doesn't work, then I'll only do it to the Japanese country, and these two countries will wait for the time being!"

"You don't have too much pressure, your father is not a dead eye, as long as it can bring practical benefits to Daming, they will definitely agree!"

The old man was afraid that his grandson would think too much, so he patted him on the shoulder and persuaded him.

Zhu Zhangui nodded, got up and was about to take his son back.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing with a stinky boy, put my little good grandson down!"

"Grandpa, you've been carrying it for more than a month, and I guess you're tired of it, so I'll take it back for a few days first!"

"You fart, let me go, you are young, how can you take care of the child, hurry up and get out of here!"

Zhu Zhangui was kicked out by the old man in embarrassment.

Lying at the door and looking, seeing that he was woken up because the two were talking, and was gently slapped and coaxed by the old man in his arms, Zhu Zhangui screamed helplessly in his heart.

The next day, early in the morning.

Since he didn't know how long it would take to discuss important matters, the old man finally sent the child back to the East Palace.

Zhang, who finally saw his grandson, held his grandson in his arms, and then no one was allowed to touch him, and he played with his grandson alone.

Looking at the child being held by her mother-in-law, Zhao Linger was tired.

I seem to be a delivery person.

Since the birth of the child, except for the first month by his side, he has hardly seen the child for the rest of the day.

She wanted to take a look at the child, and she had to run to the East Palace.

I want to hug it, but Zhang won't let it.

Say that you young people don't know how to take care of children, don't hurt my grandson.

Even more pitiful is the scholar of the White Hair Pavilion.

Since the birth of the little one, it has completely fallen out of favor.

Zhu Fatpang and Zhang, who used to treat it as their own son, now dislike it when they see it, for fear that this ignorant dog will hurt their grandson, and they even plan to send it away.

Later, Hu Shanxiang saw it pitiful and took it in.

Otherwise, the dignified Baimao Pavilion scholar will live on the street and become a stray dog.

When there was harmony on the side of the East Palace, the atmosphere in the Shangshu room was tense.

"No, I don't agree."

As soon as Zhu Zhangui said the plan to attack the Three Kingdoms, Zhu Fatpang stood up and shook his head in opposition.

The war had just ended on the country's side, and he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking about taking a good rest for a while, and watching his grandson live happily every day.

As a result, he has not yet enjoyed his life, and his son and his son are planning to fight other countries, and they are still thousands of miles away to fight two countries that are rarely heard of.

"Your Majesty, the country has finally settled down after the war, and this is going to move troops again, and the people really can't bear it."

Ignoring Zhu Zhangui, who wanted to explain, Zhu Chupang turned his head to look at the old man, hoping that the old man could dispel this plan.

The old man looked at Zhu Chubby, pursed his lips and was silent for a while, and then looked at the other adults.

"What do you say?"

Lu Xin, the newly appointed secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to stand up and support Zhu Zhangui's plan as he had the label of Taisun Party on his head.

"Since His Royal Highness Taisun has proposed this plan, it means that these two countries have a reason to fight, and the minister agrees with the plan to send troops."

The old man nodded in satisfaction and looked at the others again.

Xia Yuanji, who had been looking at Zhu Zhangui with a resentful expression, stretched out his hand to ask Zhu Zhangui.

"Your Highness, can you ask if you are fighting these two countries for silver or food!"

Zhu Zhangui, who was a little unnatural by his eyes, hurriedly explained: "The main thing is food, and they are also very rich. ”

Xia Yuanji's eyes instantly glowed, and he slapped his thigh and stood up and said loudly.

"If you fight hard, you have to fight, if His Royal Highness Taisun doesn't have enough troops, the people of our household department can also carry knives!"

Zhu Zhangui hurriedly waved his hand.

"You don't need it, you don't need it, the hands of your household people, let's keep the abacus, carry a knife to cut people, we have endless people."

Sanyang, who had been frowning and thinking, suddenly remembered something that Xia Yuanji had mentioned to them some time ago when he saw Xia Yuanji's reaction.

They vaguely remembered that Zhu Zhangui made an agreement with Xia Yuanji before going to Shandong.

Xia Yuanji prepared a batch of grain for Zhu Zhangui, and Zhu Zhangui gave him a silver mountain and a place where he was harvested three times a year.

Yang Shiqi got up and walked to the map, looked in the direction of India and frowned and thought: "If we want to fight here, it will be very difficult to send troops on land, and we need to attack from the sea." ”

"But once you attack from the sea, the lines will be completely lengthened."

"And the army is still isolated overseas, once the logistics supplement is problematic, then we can't save it!"

"Hey, hey, Master Yang, you stop for a moment!"

The more Zhu Fatpang listened, the more wrong he became, no matter how he said this, he began to think about the problems after the fight.

Didn't we discuss the question of whether to fight or not, when did the topic move forward so quickly?

"Mr. Yang, what we are discussing is the question of whether to fight or not, not the question of after the fight."

Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment, glanced at everyone before patting his forehead, and shook his head with a smile.

"Just now, the minister thought that Yuan Ji mentioned something and ignored the things we were going to discuss."

"It's fine!"

The old man waved his hand absently, looked at Sanyang and asked.

"Do you approve of this troop trip?"

Looking at the map, Yang Shiqi pondered for a while and asked Zhu Zhangui.

"For what reason does Your Highness plan to attack these two countries, and what benefits can attacking these two countries bring to our Ming Dynasty?"

"As the old saying goes, if the name is not right, the word is not good, if we don't have a decent excuse to take them down, I'm afraid they won't accept it! What's more, the surrounding vassal countries will also have a gap with us because of this! ”

Several other people, including the old man, nodded their heads and began to frown, thinking about what reason to use to fight these two countries.

Zhu Zhangui looked at everyone speechlessly.

It's stupid to read a book.

Huaxia Kyushu is a state of etiquette, and for the sake of its own reputation, it is necessary to have a reason to attack each other.

But the problem is the reason to fart externally.

The languages of the two countries are different, and attacking the other country is nothing more than two things: profit and territory.

Reason: Just find one of these things.

When the time comes, they will conduct a drill outside their national territory, and then make an excuse that they have lost a soldier and will go in to check it.

If they dare to let it in, they won't leave.

If you don't dare to put it in, won't there be a justifiable reason to crusade?

It's not right.

I've invaded, and I want a name.

Even if they blow themselves to the sky, they don't understand the culture and the meaning of it, isn't it the same as nothing?

Looking at the people staring at him, Zhu Zhangui replied helplessly.

"There's no reason, if I have to find one, it's that I've taken a fancy to their land, their grain, their gems and minerals."

Looking up at the dumbfounded crowd, Zhu Zhangui spread his hands.

"It's that simple!"

Zhu Zhangui directly answered Yang Shiqi's two questions in one sentence.

I have no reason.

The good thing is that I have a crush on their land, grain, gems, and minerals.

"But there is no reason to conquer other countries, then we will not be morally untenable, and when the time comes, how will other countries think of us Daming."

Zhu Chubby's body trembled, if it weren't for the presence of so many people, he would have slapped Zhu Zhangui with a big mouth.

Listen to what the grandson of a country should say?

It's a robber face.

Alas, blame yourself too.

This kid didn't like to study before, and he didn't urge him after he came back, which caused this kid to have no benevolence and morality at all, and his mind was full of thoughts about snatching the benefits and daring to resist and kill them.

"Dad, we are here for the strategic consideration of the whole country, I also understand loyalty, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, but these are only for our Ming people, and for those countries that respect our Ming Dynasty very much."

"What is our task as those in power, our task is to let the people of Daming live a good life, be fed and clothed, and no longer suffer from war."

"Attacking these two countries is very good for us, and if we take them, we will be able to solve our most pressing food problem at the moment."

Zhu Zhangui made a gesture while talking, explaining the benefits for Zhu Fatpang.

Zhu Chupang waved his hand again and again.

"No, I don't agree. If you really want to do this, then what should other small countries think of us in the future. ”

"If there is a benefit, we will violate them, who will dare to believe us in the future, and where is the majesty of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Zhangui also lost his temper and retorted loudly:

"The majesty of the Ming Dynasty is important, but you can't let the people of the Ming Dynasty go hungry for the sake of face."

"This is the same as living in two families, our family is rich, we eat meat and white flour steamed buns every day, you can't let the whole family give up these and eat bran because of the envy of the neighbors!"

"As long as the people of Daming can live a good life, be fed and clothed, support the old, and rely on the young, what if we can bear these insignificant rumors."

"As long as our people in the Ming Dynasty are dedicated to us, as long as we have a strong military in our hands, those Fanbang vassal countries have at most been addicted to words, and a few dare to stand up and point fingers."

Zhu Chubby's temper was also pushed up, pointing at Zhu Zhangui, blushing angrily and saying with a rough neck: "If we really follow your method, the vassal countries will not be angry, and when the time comes, they will attack it in groups, let the war break out again, and the people will not have a good life, and it will be too late for you to regret it." ”

"Alright, shut up!"

Seeing that the two of them were arguing, the old man was afraid that the father and son would have a gap because of this, so he hurriedly stopped the two.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, I will never agree to this matter."

Zhu Chupang took a few breaths, glared at Zhu Zhangui fiercely, and directly expressed his attitude.

The old man regrets it a little now.

If I knew that the boss was like this, I shouldn't have called him over.

I discussed it with the people below, and when the time came, all agreed, so what could the boss do even if he didn't agree.

At most, a few words of complaining, the work that should be done will still be done.

"What do you think!"

The old man looked at Yang Shiqi and the others, wanting them to make a decision.

Yang Shiqi looked at the map, pinched his beard and thought for a long time, and asked Zhu Zhangui.

"If this place is knocked down, can Your Highness tell me how much benefit it can bring to Daming!"

Zhu Zhangui pondered for a moment and replied: "If you can lay down here, you can solve half of the food problem of the Ming Dynasty in the future." ”

In order to make his words more convincing, Zhu Zhangui decided to take it out and make everyone unable to refuse the temptation.

"Your Excellency, you may not know."

Pointing to the location of India, Zhu Zhangui looked at everyone and said seriously: "The cultivated land area of this place is the whole world, and I am talking about the largest in the world where the sun shines!" Our Ming Dynasty can't compare to them, and they are still three times a year. ”

"Shhh

As soon as these words came out, everyone present gasped.

The arable land area in the world is the largest, and it is still three crops a year, so how much grain should there be here?

"The First Evolution"

Zhu Zhangui clenched his fists and continued to bewitch.

"What's more, they are now in a time of war and the best time to take them down. And because of their faith, the people of the whole region are very servile. ”

"As long as we successfully occupy this place and use some means, this place will become our land and the largest granary of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Once we put all of this land to use!"

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand excitedly.

"No one will be starved to death in the future, and I will never have to worry about lack of food again."

The room fell silent instantly.

The old man's heart was pounding, and he imagined in his mind that everyone would be able to eat enough in the future.

If it is coupled with the new school plan, then who else will be able to stop Daming in the future.

Zhu Fatpang also fell into silence, and his heart kept being entangled.

On the one hand, it is the reputation of the country, and on the other hand, it is to make sure that all the people can have enough to eat.

Xia Yuanji, who is the head of the household, has red eyes like rabbits.

He rushed forward in a few steps and knelt down in front of the old man.

"Your Majesty, let's fight, let alone use more than 100,000 troops, even if it is worth using 1 million."

Lu Xin also stepped forward and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please order an attack on this place for the sake of food and clothing for future generations!"

Song Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, walked out, "The minister also agrees to attack this place!" ”

The main reason why he stood up was that he wanted to have a good relationship with Zhu Zhanguila.

Zhu Zhangui's craftsman battalion is now almost replacing the weapons supervisor of the Ministry of Industry.

As the elder of the Ministry of Industry, he is also interested in this aspect, and he has long wanted to go in and have a look.

But the craftsman camp is very strict, without the warrants of Zhu Zhangui and the old man, let alone your Ministry of Works, don't even think about going in when the prince comes.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to show favor to Zhu Zhangui and strive to put the craftsman battalion under the name of the Ministry of Industry in the future.

Three of the six Shangshu are supported.

The old man looked at the remaining few people, waiting for their choice.

Liu Guan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, noticed the old man's gaze and said his choice.

"The minister is only responsible for criminal law, and he doesn't know much about war. However, the minister still hopes that the people of Daming can be fed and clothed, so the minister also agrees! ”

Another one agreed.

"To be able to see the country expand its territory and the people to be fed and clothed in his lifetime is the greatest wish of a scholar, and the minister agrees!"

The official secretary also smiled and agreed.

In the end, everyone looked at Yang Shiqi, the secretary of the military department, and Er Yang, who did not express his position.

Looking at everyone's gaze, Yang Shiqi groaned for a moment and asked Zhu Zhangui.

"How long does Your Highness plan to end this war!"

Zhu Zhangui stretched out two fingers.

"Two years, two years to end the war completely."

"Two years!"

Yang Shiqi nodded.

"That's okay, the minister will wait for His Highness for two years, and if the war can't end in two years, the minister will ask His Majesty to withdraw his troops and return."

With Yang Shiqi's nod, all the six yamen of the imperial court agreed to start this war.

Yang Rong and Yang Pu did not say anything against it, and expressed their agreement.

But they had the same demand as Yang Shiqi, that the war must end within two years.

"Boss, do you have anything to say?"

Seeing that everyone agreed, the old man looked down on Zhu Chubby.

Zhu Chupang smiled helplessly when he heard this.

You've all discussed it, and you're asking me what I'm doing?

I don't agree, am I against useful?

"Since all the ministers have agreed, it is a little uninteresting for the ministers to oppose it. However, Erchen can hope that the emperor will make a promise that if the war cannot be ended within two years, he will immediately withdraw his troops and stop the war! We really can't afford it! ”

The war against Ah San has finally been decided.

The entire high-level of the imperial court raised their hands and launched a war against the three kingdoms of Afghanistan.

As for the reason, let the grandson make it up by himself when the time comes.

Anyway, the imperial court only sends troops and does logistical supplies, and they don't care about the rest, as long as the final territory and results.

As for the sea ban stipulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone didn't even mention it.

The old man has sent the fleet to the end of the world, and the sea ban is still a fart.

And Zhu Zhangui's plan for the Japanese state, he didn't say a word.

Anyway, it's just a robbery, and it's not a big deal, so there's no need to make a lot of people, and I guess everyone is not very interested in it, so don't mention it.
