Yu Qian's thoughts were racing, secretly thinking that His Majesty should have finished discussing these things with Lin Zhao, and said it again in front of him at this moment, what did it mean?

As a courtier, you must be good at figuring out the holy will.

Although vainly speculating about the holy will is easy to anger the Son of Heaven.

But sometimes, the Son of Heaven is waiting for the cooperation of you, the courtiers.

Yu Qian thought about it for a while, and then understood what Zhu Jianji meant, and said with a smile: "The old minister is in favor of His Majesty's move, on the one hand, it can effectively consume the national strength and popular support of the puppet Shun Dynasty, and on the other hand, my Ming South China Sea Fleet and Dengzhou Navy Division are not fully prepared. ”

Zhu Jianji sighed, "Recently, I have been thinking about North Korea, and I rarely go to the former dynasty, but I want to ask Yu Shaobao, what is the situation of my Daming Xiongshi now?" ”

Yu Shaobao is really sensible and knows that the topic should be led over there.

No matter how busy Zhu Jianji is, it is impossible not to know the current situation of the national army, but he is just looking for an excuse to talk about the Ming Xiongshi, so that Lin Zhao can also know about it.

But Zhu Jianji didn't lie either.

He has been thinking about North Korea lately.

North Korea belongs to the Ming vassal state, and the Li royal family is very obedient, but no matter how disobedient it is, it is also a royal family, and under normal circumstances, it is unwilling to give the kingdom to the Ming Dynasty.

If North Korea becomes the political envoy of the Ming Dynasty, the Li royal family will become a nominal rich and noble family like those vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, of course, the Li royal family will definitely be stronger.

After all, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty...... Now there are no soldiers, no power.

Even the taxes in the territory of the vassal king were collected back by the imperial court, and now the king of the Ming vassal is left with a bare shelf.

It's no longer pig farming.

However, the imperial court has not cut off their future, if you want to make money, you can, as long as you go to Gyeonggi to ask Emperor Guang'an, the emerging industries in the country, the vassal kings contribute some funds to participate in the shares, and they can also pay a lot of dividends every year.

Fuwang Zhu Jianjin did just that, took a stake in the permanent bicycle, and made a lot of money.

But the Lee royal family is, after all, the royal family of North Korea.

The Lord who is not bad for money.

Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty wants to change North Korea into a political envoy, it is even more difficult than directly launching a war, because such an obedient North Korea, you can do it, so what will other countries think of you?

Do you want the name of the ceremonial state?

Yu Qian said with a smile: "Since the fifth year of Guang'an, I have stopped all external expansion, and implemented benevolent governance on Mobei, Northeast China, and the Indochina Peninsula, and the country has vigorously developed industry, commerce and agriculture, so that the people can recuperate, the treasury income has been rising, and the population has soared to 250 million. The first and second battalions of tanks directly under the jurisdiction of His Majesty have been renamed the first tank guard and the second tank guard, each with 15,000 troops and 300 steam tanks, in addition, a total of nine major divisions in Mobei, Northeast and Indochina Peninsula, all of which have added Xingdu Division, and the number of soldiers is full, that is to say, there are a total of 18 divisions in Mobei, Northeast and Indochina Peninsula, and the number of troops has increased by nearly 500,000 people! ”

Here's the truth.

In the past few years, the new troops of the Ming Dynasty have been recuperating and recuperating, except for the Jinge Group Army and the first and second guards of the tanks, the rest of the new troops have been placed in the nine new Xingdu Divisions.

In order to control Mobei, Northeast and Indochina Peninsula more firmly in their hands.

The pro-military guard and the domestic capital division, on the contrary, have not changed much.

Lin Zhao showed a look of shock and awe on his face - in fact, there was no wave in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh a little, the changes in the Ming Dynasty over the years, the Dashun Dynasty has been paying attention to it, and the expansion of the Jin Ge Group Army and the addition of nine new Xingdu Divisions are known to everyone in the world.

Lin Zhao had already guessed what His Majesty meant.

Dismount.

Tell Lin Zhao with your strength, you had better do what you do today, if you dare to become a wall grass, weigh it yourself, even if you Dashun Dynasty twists into a rope, you can stop such a powerful male master of Da Ming.

But then again, Lin Zhao was indeed a little shocked and in awe.

He didn't expect that the first and second battalions of Daming's tanks would become one or two guards, with a total of 600 steam tanks.

What is this concept?

At the beginning of the war on the Indochina Peninsula, the Ming Dynasty invested 25 steam tanks in the first tank battalion, which opened the stalemate, and then crushed the coalition forces in the Indochina Peninsula all the way.

Later, in the face of the conquest of Mobei, the second tank battalion was in the Mongolian steppe, which was called an invincible.

Style!

Now there are 600 steam tanks, if this is put on the battlefield, even if the enemy army is hundreds of thousands, it is not enough to crush it, just one or two tanks, plus the Jin Ge Group Army, I dare not imagine how desperate the enemy army will be in the face of such a Da Ming Xiong Division.

Zhu Jianji bowed slightly.

Yu Qian continued: "But I just got a bad news today, and I don't know which link went wrong, I brought back a news from the traders on the side of the Principality of Rus, saying that the Principality of Rus' has also formed a pro-guard army, which is said to have 30,000 troops, all of them are equipped with firearms, and the shape of its firearms is similar to our new Dongfeng rifle. ”

Zhu Jianji was stunned, he really didn't know this news, presumably Yu Qian also learned about it.

Thoughtful: "Duchy of Rus?" ”

The Principality of Rus borders Mobei, and there was once a garrison of the Jinge Army in Mobei, and it is very likely that the Principality of Rus stole the Dongfeng rifle from the Jinge Army through various means and brought it back to China to imitate.

I'm afraid that several years have passed since this matter, and it is difficult to investigate.

But it still has to be checked.

It's a matter of making amends.

In order to make money, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will sell their steam tanks and steel warships for money - this kind of thing, Lao Maozi has done it.

said with a smile: "I will investigate this matter, and if I find the culprit of the leak, I will punish him severely." However, I don't think there is any need to worry about this matter, a 30,000-strong personal guard army is just a small pressure, as long as we have an advantage in steam tanks, the Rus Principality will not be able to turn the sky upside down, and when Korea, Japan and Luzon are cleaned up, I will move north to solve the hidden danger of the Rus Principality. ”

Lin Zhao said: "Your Majesty, in fact, you can fight on two fronts, North Korea, Japan and Luzon Island, you don't need many troops, with the current strength of my Ming Dynasty, there is not much pressure on two fronts." ”

Yu Qian also said: "It's really okay, just send the Jinge Group Army and the tank first and second guards over." ”

Lin Zhao was puzzled, "The First and Second Tank Guards and the Jinge Group Army have all gone to the Principality of Rus, so what if the Korean side wants to fight, and after His Majesty's army lands in Japan and Luzon, it also needs troops." ”

Yu Qian laughed, "North Korea has the Northeast Metropolitan Division and the Northeast Traveling Division, plus a Liaodong Metropolitan Division, which is enough, as for North Korea and Luzon Island, the South China Sea Fleet is enough." ”

Lin Zhao: "South China Sea Fleet? ”

The development of the South China Sea Fleet is not very clear.

Yu Qian knew that Zhu Jianji wanted to show his muscles in front of Lin Zhao, so he didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Now the South China Sea Fleet has twenty-four cruisers such as Zhenyuan, Dingyuan, and Zhiyuan, each battleship has twenty-four guns, one thousand shipboard combatants, and each soldier is equipped with Dongfeng rifles. ”

Lin Zhao was shocked inexplicably.

What is a cruiser?
