Mandarin Palace, study.

Zhu Jianji took the lotus seed soup handed over by Liu Han and drank it in one gulp.

After the autumn, the weather is dry and irritable, easy to get angry, and the recent border military reports are stacked, the situation is not optimistic, and it makes people feel more anxious.

Several palace maids entered one after another, offering lotus seed soup to many important court officials.

Everyone thanked the prince.

Today was originally a small court meeting in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qiyu gave an edict to let everyone come to the Wenhua Palace to discuss with the prince, and he arrived later, everyone looked at this posture at this moment, and knew that the two fathers and sons had discussed it.

So suitable, prepare lotus seed soup for everyone?

Apparently prepared for a long time.

Zhu Jianji put down the cup and glanced at everyone, "The situation in the north is tight, and after the arrangements are made on the Gyeonggi side, I plan to lead the young army of the East Palace to the north, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Yu Qian thought for a moment, "You can attack Maoli children." ”

The Jurchens want to enter the customs, only Shanhaiguan, which is very well defended.

But the Maori children are different.

Hang Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Your Highness, think twice, the young army currently has only one strength of the guard, which is too weak, and in the face of the grassland iron cavalry, I am afraid it is a little difficult to play the role of the mainstay." ”

Zhu Jianji smiled, "Ten thousand." ”

Qiqing was surprised.

Yu Qian coughed, "A certain person from the regimental camp has transferred 5,000 people to the young army, and they have been training the art of firearm shooting these days, and they will soon be able to form combat power." ”

Everyone suddenly had no opinion.

Zhu Jianji said: "Lone originally scattered to Mobei Iron Cavalry or Jurchen to a thunder plough hole, considering that the young army of the East Palace is not enough, and the next focus is domestic development, so I only plan to use the young army of the East Palace to sweep the line from east to west on the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, and disintegrate the misdeeds of Mobei and Jurchen's intention to invade the south." ”

Everyone was stunned.

What could be more important than addressing the northern threat?

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "Lone has been living in a simple place recently, in view of the current situation in my Daming, there is a plan, all of you are my Daming Humerus, please give your opinions." ”

Be mindful of the wording.

It's to give advice.

Instead of asking you for or against.

Today, those who came to Wenhua Hall to participate in the small court meeting were Qiqing, plus nine of the six servants, including He Jian, the left attendant of the military department, supervised the army Shanhaiguan, Yang Ding, the right attendant of the ministry, supervised the army Zhu Yongjunzhong, and the left attendant of the ministry, Cheng Xin, supervised the army Hamiwei.

As for the Taichang Temple Dali Temple, he is not qualified to attend today's court meeting.

Yu Qian said: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

Regarding today's small court meeting, Zhu Jianji has been planning for several months, and he has had the idea of reform since he solved the problem of clearing up the civil and official forces of the Tang family, and he did not write the plan until three days ago.

It was revised for another three days, and it was only yesterday that it was completely perfected.

So he immediately asked Dai Yi to go to the Qianqing Palace, and asked the cheap father to change today's small court meeting to the Wenhua Palace.

This is purposeful.

Once his plan is not supported by the courtiers, the cheap father will appear "at the right time" to help the town.

Zhu Jianji coughed, "Although the smoke in the north continues, in order to survive this year's cold winter, no matter how many soldiers our Ming Dynasty has in the border city, they insist on entering the customs, and a big war is indispensable, but Lone thinks that it is not enough, not to mention that there are Hang Yu, Zhao Fu, Zhu Yong and other pillars in the army, Lone will also lead the young army to the battle." ”

Peng Shi, the right attendant of the military department, said: "Indeed, Zhang Fu has been sitting in the north for many years, and is familiar with the tactics of the grassland iron cavalry, and there are Jinggi troops to reinforce in the past, which is enough to hold Xuanfu Datong, and can also rush to the Hetao area at any time, and the governor Hang Yu, as a veteran, is conservative with troops, as long as he sticks to the Hami Guard, the Warat troops cannot form a flanking attack with Maori children, and the Hetao area is safe." It's just that the ministers don't understand, the Jurchen Li Manzhu is obviously here to take advantage of the fire to rob, not to mention that the existence of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division allows the Jurchens to only roam in Liaodong outside the Shanhai Pass, even if there is no Liaodong Metropolitan Division, as long as the Xuanfu, Hamiwei and Hetao areas are not lost, it is impossible for the Jurchens to really attack Shanhaiguan on a large scale, why does His Highness want to deploy heavy troops in Shanhaiguan and prepare to rush to the aid of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division actually has the ability to contain the Jurchens. ”

That's a lot of work.

The Hetao area is not all under the control of the Ming Dynasty, so the Hetao area is most likely to break out large-scale wars, Shanhaiguan because of the existence of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, the Jurchen do not dare to be unscrupulous, but safe.

The ministers nodded frequently.

What Peng Shi said makes sense, but in fact, everyone is confused.

How does Zhu Jianji explain?

Say I'm afraid that the Jurchens will enter the customs if they are not careful?

said a few words casually, saying that the Jurchen has developed well recently, and it is a hidden danger enemy in the future of the Ming Dynasty, and it is necessary to take precautions, as long as the time is right, the Ming Dynasty will do its best to beat the Jurchen to the point that it will never turn over.

The ministers have no opinion on this.

Indeed, in recent years, the development momentum of Jurchen has been very strong, and it is really possible for Li Manzhu to sit big.

However, Li Manzhu is also seventy years old.

Zhu Jianji said: "So the war in the north is not an urgent need, "Han Feizi: The Fifteenth Death Sign" has said: The country is small but not humble, the strength is small but not afraid of the strong, rude and insulting the neighbors, greedy and clumsy, but the death is also——"

There was a deliberate pause.

Secretly proud.

Lao Tzu is really a talent, Lao Tzu remembers this kind of article.

Yu Qian and others bowed their heads.

Zhang Peng, the emperor, is indeed qualified.

Zhu Jianji continued: "From ancient times to the present, Mobei has been a major problem for my Central Plains Dynasty, and none of the Mobei Yi people have followed the policy of diplomatic relations between the four countries, but all dynasties, and even my Ming Taizong's five expeditions to Mobei, have not been able to completely destroy the Mobei Yi tribe, what is the reason?" ”

The ministers looked at each other.

The question is a bit profound.

In fact, there is only one reason: the right time, place and people.

As soon as it was late autumn, it began to snow in the north, and it was all heavy snow, and the army of the Central Plains Dynasty could not ensure that it would win the battle with the Mobei Iron Cavalry in the snow, and the logistics could not be guaranteed, so they could only retreat.

It's the time of day.

The geographical location is favorable, Mobei is vast, from late spring to late autumn these months, even if the army of the Central Plains Dynasty is singing all the way, but the Mobei Iron Horse is deep in the grassland, and it will be difficult for the army of the Central Plains Dynasty to bite them again.

Human...... Mobei boys grew up on horseback and can fight well.

Zhu Jianji continued: "I know what you think, it is that Mobei has the right time, place and people, even if Taizong's five expeditions drive them to Mobei to the Rakshasa country farther away, the people they left on the grassland can still threaten us after decades of development. But in the eyes of Lonely, this is not the real reason, our Central Plains Dynasty has never been the strongest in the true sense. ”

Wang Wen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was puzzled, "Han and Tang are not the strongest?" ”

Zhu Jianji chuckled, "Han Tang is the strongest?" Taizong has also done it, what is the strongest, and although the Han and Tang dynasties are far away, I can actually do it, but Lone doesn't want to repeat the useless I have advanced and retreated, Lone has an idea, to build Daming into the strongest dynasty in the history of truly unifying Mobei! ”

The spirits of the crowd were lifted.

Now the courtiers of the central department, except for Wang Wen and Yu Qian, who are old, the rest are at the peak age of their thirties to fifties, and their attitude towards Mobei is extremely strong in their previous careers.

Seeing that the prince has the idea of unifying Mobei, how can he not be excited.

Wang Fu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, said with a smile: "Weichen dares to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, it is easy to fight Mobei, as long as the fire gun like the young army of the East Palace is equipped with a border army, it can kill the general at any time, but how to rule that area?" ”

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "Wang Shilang asked well! ”

Looking at the crowd, "Do you have any ideas, how to solve this problem?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

There is a way to solve it, His Majesty Taizong solved it back then, will Sanyang's wisdom be worse than ours.

To everyone's surprise, His Royal Highness the Prince's next words, the focus was not on Mobei, Zhu Jianji said slowly: "Mobei has never been the ultimate goal of Lone, in Lone's blueprint, it is to rule the Li Dynasty, Japan, Cochin and the Indochina Peninsula, and even include Western countries, Lone also has a prospect for the unknown world overseas." Mobei is easy to fight, only need the Dongfeng rifle held by the young army of the East Palace to be equipped with all the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, the grassland men of Mobei will change from being able to fight well to being good at singing and dancing, and Mobei is also good at rule, only need to garrison the army in Mobei, and build a few official roads, and develop a chariot that can also gallop freely in the snow to transport materials and soldiers, but Jiaozhi, the Li Dynasty, Japan and the Indochina Peninsula, how to fight? ”

This passage stunned the ministers.

Zhu Jianji added, "Therefore, Lone plans to do an operation on Daming, so that Daming will become an unprecedented giant, which can pass through the desert north within seven days, and can reach the southernmost tip of the Indochina Peninsula within a month, and my Daming Xiongshi will win every battle, and the sailors of my Daming Xiongshi will gallop across the ocean and write a new chapter in the past and present." ”
