Chapter 166: Military Order
"There is only one condition for the son, if the son wins the battle, I hope that the father can put Shanghai County under the jurisdiction of the son's fief."
Zhu Gui lowered his head and said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, and all the civil and military officials looked at Zhu Gui in surprise, but they didn't expect him to want to increase the fiefdom, and it was also an enclave by the sea.
Shanghai County is too far away from Datong Mansion, even if it is a fast horse, it will take about ten days to travel, and they really don't understand what Zhu Gui wants this enclave to do.
Moreover, Shanghai County does not have any other advantages except for being close to the sea, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty has implemented measures to ban the sea, and even fishing boats are not allowed to go out to sea to fish, so these people don't understand what Zhu Gui wants to do in this small seaside county.
But they don't understand it doesn't mean that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't understand, Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers that Zhu Gui once told him in the court that he would open up the sea to shipping, and now he stared at Zhu Gui, as if he wanted to affirm the idea in his heart.
However, Zhu Gui faced Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, but he was still able to maintain a calm and breezy appearance, but he was panicked in his heart.
I'll go, this old man's eyes are so scary, Zhu Gui thought so.
But after a while, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "There's nothing wrong with a fiefdom, but how are you going to run this small county town?" ”
"Father, and he just wants to see the magnificent waves of the sea, and he has no other thoughts, and he hopes that his father will be fulfilled."
Zhu Gui said very simply, he had long thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would ask this question, and he had already prepared the answer in advance.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it again and again, and his eyes lingered on Zhu Gui and Lan Yu for a long time, but he finally chose Zhu Gui's plan.
After all, if Lan Yu is allowed to go on the expedition, it will be a large amount of military expenditure, and for the Ming Dynasty, which has just experienced a natural disaster, the treasury is very empty, even if Zhu Yuanzhang extorted millions of taels from Zhu Gui, it is not enough to fill it.
But Zhu Yuanzhang is not so easy to speak, "Zhu Gui, I can barely agree to your plan, but that must be premised on your victory, if this war is lost, not only will you not get the small county town, but your own vassal king will also be deprived, even so, are you still willing?" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang tried to put pressure on Zhu Gui to see how he reacted.
But Zhu Gui still said unhurriedly, "Erchen is willing to make a military order, if Erchen loses this war, everything is at the disposal of his father." ”
When the civil and military officials heard Zhu Gui's words, they all showed a look of surprise, especially Xu Guogong, he didn't understand why Zhu Gui was so confident, but the matter had come to this point, he could only come out and say, "The minister hopes that Xu Yingxu, the second son of the minister, can go out with the king." ”
Zhu Gui glanced at Xu Guogong, this was originally what he should say, but Xu Guogong took the lead, but this can also show that Xu Guogong cares about him.
Zhu Yuanzhang agreed without thinking about it, after all, this is just a trivial matter for a war, not to mention that Xu Yingxu was originally the general of the garrison of Datong Mansion.
It's just that all this fell in the eyes of Lan Yu on the side, but it became a humiliation for him.
After all, his dominance of this war was a sure victory, so he even transferred his headquarters army to the city of Nanjing without even sending an order.
If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this, and he was not in charge of the war, it would probably become a reason to punish him.
Thinking of this, even if he was as arrogant as blue jade, there were beads of sweat on his face.
He glanced at the little prince Zhu Gui on the side quite jealously, but the other party didn't seem to pay attention to him.
This made Lan Yu anxious and angry, and in his hurry, he already knew that his subordinates had been captured by the guards of Nanjing City.
If he was in power, it would be better to say, Zhu Yuanzhang would also sell him a face, and he would not pursue the matter. But now that he has been cut off by Zhu Gui, this small incident is likely to become an important factor affecting his career.
Fortunately, Zhu Gui did not mention this matter in the early dynasty.
After deciding that Zhu Gui would be in charge of this war against the Mongols, the early dynasty ended.
The civil and military officials withdrew from the Fengtian Hall in turn, and Zhu Gui and Lan Yu came to the end.
"Little prince, please stay." Lan Yu said loudly behind Zhu Gui.
"What does the general have to say?" Zhu Gui asked calmly, as if nothing had happened.
Zhu Gui's expression fell on Lan Yu's eyes, but it meant something else.
After all, he had offended the other party outside the palace before, and now he had a handle in the hands of the other party.
Although as long as Zhu Gui said a word, it was likely to make Lan Yu go downhill from now on, but at the same time, as long as the other party said a word, his little thing would not matter.
So Lan Yu had the idea of trying to win over Zhu Gui, but he didn't know Zhu Gui's thoughts.
If it weren't for the fact that he was trying to bring down Lan Yu, Zhu Gui wouldn't want to wade into this troubled water, and now that the other party's biggest reliance has been snatched away by him, the rest is naturally to clean him up.
The reason why Zhu Gui didn't talk about Lan Yu's subordinates in the early dynasty was because he was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to make any more trouble.
What's more, he originally felt that it was best for him to say that this matter was not to be said, and the best candidate in Zhu Gui's heart was naturally Xu Guogong.
After today's early incident, Xu Guogong should know Zhu Gui's determination, and the development of things has exceeded Xu Guogong's expectations, and now Lan Yu is not a celebrity in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
"Little prince, why do you want to go against Ben Jiang?" Lan Yuyin said testimoniously.
"Oppose? Why did the general say this? You and I just want to contribute to the imperial court, and now that the treasury is empty, it can no longer withstand the consumption of a great war, and this king has a little money, so he can start this war against the Mongols. ”
Zhu Gui said very confidently.
Seeing Zhu Gui like this, Lan Yu originally wanted to talk about the affairs of his subordinates, but he also held back.
"Hmph, little prince, war is not a business, it is very bloody and cruel, there are no less than a thousand enemies who will be slaughtered with their own hands, and more than a hundred wars have been won, and the Mongols are not so easy to deal with."
Lan Yu said pretentiously.
"Thank you for reminding the general, this king still has some experience in dealing with the Mongols, if the general is really worried about this king, you can seconded your elite cavalry to this king, how about it?"
Zhu Gui took the initiative to mention the matter of the other party's subordinates, which made Lan Yu's heart tighten.
"Little prince, you ......" Lan Yu was just halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Zhu Gui.
"If the general is unwilling, this king can ask the emperor for this matter in person."
After Zhu Gui finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only Lan Yu staring at his back with a complicated expression.
