"Your Majesty!"

"After the Privy Council deliberated, it was believed that it was easy to repel Burma, but it was difficult to destroy, and there were three difficulties:

First, from February to April, the heat in Myanmar is unbearable, from April to September, and it is often difficult to travel with heavy rains;

the second is that the miasma in Burma is too heavy;

Third, the terrain of Myanmar bordering Yunnan is complex;

The first dilemma will make it difficult for a large army to stay in Burma even if it is captured;

The last difficulty will make Burma more dangerous, and it is not easy for the army to conquer these dangerous passes, but the key is that if you have to retreat back to avoid the heat after taking it with your soldiers' lives, you will have to spend a lot of lives if you want to recapture it in the future. ”

"But the ministers think that the Burmese should be destroyed."

Fang Fengshi said, and gave his Privy Council conclusion.

Except for Shen Shixing, the ruling ministers present all looked at Fang Feng in amazement.

If it is difficult to destroy, why should it be destroyed?

Zhu Yijun was not shocked and sat back on the throne.

Fang Fengshi turned to Zhu Yijun and said, "Your Majesty, this dynasty occupies almost all the richest and most suitable places for population reproduction in the world!" If you don't show that your dynasty has the power to destroy the country, then even if you repel the Burmese people, the Burmese will still invade again. ”

"The population is growing."

"If you can't encroach on the anointed land of other countries, you can only perish."

"There are also hidden worries caused by population growth in this dynasty!"

"The seven things that Master Shen played, in a nutshell, are to solve the problem of population growth."

Zhu Yijun suddenly became serious, and glanced at the ministers present very seriously.

"What Your Majesty said is that this is also the reason for the restructuring."

"This dynasty must also open up new anointed lands and raise new sources of profit in order to solve the hidden worries caused by population growth."

This is also another reason why the Privy Council believes that Burma should be destroyed, and if it does not have the will to dominate the world, it is in danger of extinction; This so-called Qin swept Liuhe without dying the country, but after sweeping Liuhe, he wanted to build the Great Wall to defend himself but the reason why he lost the country! ”

"Of course!"

"Expanding the territory is not a simple matter of warfare, it requires a combination of odd and positive, offensive and defensive preparations, vertical and horizontal, and gradual progress, so that the opening up of the territory will not become a reckless force, and the country will die because of the strong."

"As for the plan to destroy Burma."

"When the minister first took charge of the Privy Council, he would be the soldier of Yin Gong (Yin Zhengmao) in the south of the country, and select the strong men of Han and Miao who are resistant to heat and are not afraid of the miasma of the mountains and Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong, and Guangdong, and train them as soldiers in the southwest, and select wise and brave people to go deep into Burma and Jiaozhi to paint mountains and rivers, and choose the place where the walled city can be established, so that in wartime, you can quickly pacify the barbarians by taking shortcuts, and you can quickly build a fortress and garrison in non-wartime; Now the commander-in-chief Liu Wei and other troops are all brave soldiers of this kind, so it is not difficult to repel the Burmese Yi this time, and it is not without a permanent division to destroy the Burmese Yi. ”

Fang talked eloquently at the right time, and poured out all the military strategies that had been held in his heart after Zhang Juzheng's death.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Qing has been preparing for this day for a long time!" ”

"The minister is ashamed that he did not dissect his heart in time."

Fang handed over his hand and pleaded guilty at the right time.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "I said that if I don't pursue it anymore, I won't pursue it!" I also know that many of you are looking at my determination, but is the world really the world of my Zhu family? If you don't do it, you won't dare to take the initiative? ”

"It's the cowardice of the ministers!"

Shen Shixing got up at this time and replied, and said:

"However, Your Majesty, in the humble opinion of the ministers, it is not so much that after the population grows, this dynasty needs to swallow the anointed land of other countries, and raise Li Shu, it is better to use the royal Taoism to educate the barbarians, so that the people who know etiquette and good production, and replace those who do not know etiquette, and make the immoral people be cleansed, so that the world will be peaceful for all generations!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The new ritual is to proclaim the world, not just to observe etiquette and morality;"

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and it is your duty to proclaim the honor of the world!"

"Therefore, I don't think about the dynasty of Xuanli, and most of them die because of stealing peace; and the dynasty that only proclaimed prestige but did not declare salute died because of reckless military force; In short, the destruction of Burma is not about losing morality, but about destroying Burma is to destroy its immoral and rude style, and to create its virtuous and polite style. ”

】

Yu Youding said: "Therefore, the minister thinks that when Burma is destroyed, it is just as Fang Shuxiang played, and the destruction of Burma needs to be based on etiquette and morality." ”

Zhu Yijun bowed his head and looked at Zhu Geng: "You should focus on this sentence in the living note, the king of China has the responsibility to declare the salute to the world, otherwise he will be a faint king!" ”

Zhu Geng said yes.

Yu Youding couldn't help but straighten his chest for a while, and glanced at Pan Cheng.

"I'm ready!"

"The destruction of Burma is the first state affair in terms of military affairs at present!"

"All the consuls of the Political Affairs Hall must work together to promote this achievement, so that I can invite all the monarchs to go to the Lingyan Pavilion in this dynasty in the future!"

Zhu Yijun said very solemnly at this time.

Shen Shixing, Fang Fengshi and others hurriedly bowed their hands: "Don't dare to live up to Your Majesty's hopes!" ”

"Your Majesty, if you want to destroy Burma, please use the name of destroying Burma to order Annan and the Tusi in the southwest, and even North Korea, etc., to send troops to destroy Burma for the Celestial Empire!"

Qi Jiguang, who is also the ruling secretary of the political affairs hall, suddenly got up and put forward his own ideas at this time.

And next.

Qi Jiguang continued to elaborate: "If Annan and the southwestern Tusi do not obey, just change their land and return to the stream first, and proclaim the royal way of teaching with etiquette!" ”

"It's just that this will make it longer for the strategy to destroy Burma to succeed;"

"If they are willing to send troops, they can borrow their strength to make the strategy of destroying Burma more successful, especially the soldiers of Annam and Siam and the Tusi in the southwest, they are more resistant to the scorching heat of the southern barbarians, and they are also familiar with the mountains and forests, they all live in a miasma all the year round, if they can be used by the Celestial Empire, they can naturally get twice the result with half the effort."

"What the Duke of Ji Guo said is very true, and the edict of sending troops should make it clear that all those who belong to the dynasty should be subject to the order of the imperial court to conquer the country without way; Otherwise, it will be punished as treason! ”

Zhu Yijun nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, if you want to destroy Burma, please open the sea again, and send the navy as a partial division to attack Burma by sea and smash its back road!"

"The minister once wrote the "New Examination of Shipping" because he intended to ask the imperial court to open the sea, and when he wrote this book, the minister specially sent people to the sea to ask the Hanyi smuggling ship and checked the sea routes in the world. The imperial court could therefore attack Burma by sea, and at the same time help Siam and the Celestial Empire to attack Burma by sea! ”

Liang Menglong also got up and played at this time.

"All in one! The Council of Ministers then proceeded to the Privy Council to comply. ”

Zhu Yijun nodded.

Attacking Burma by sea is a different way of thinking, and there are conditions for implementation, because Siam in this era is indeed very loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and in history, he also raised troops and was called to be the king of Ming Qin.

And now, Myanmar also wants to annex him all the time, which also puts a lot of pressure on him.

If the Ming Dynasty united with Siam to attack Burma by sea, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to stabbing Burma in the back.

Of course, this also allows the Ming to take this opportunity to intervene in the situation in the entire Indochina Peninsula.

Zhu Yijun had to admit that he did not protect these civil and military generals who had reformed with Zhang Juzheng in vain, and they did have outstanding insights in seeking the country.

If he really liquidated Zhang Juzheng and deposed these people from the court, he would obey the wishes of those Qingliu guards.

Now in the court, it should be like the original history, revolving around the struggle for power between the cabinet and the ministry, as for the reform and layout of the world, it is no longer important.

"In terms of government affairs, how does Master Shen plan to implement your seven things of restructuring?"

After discussing military affairs, Zhu Yijun asked about Shen Shixing's affairs affairs.

Shen Shixing got up and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister will first focus on the unfinished plan of educating Dongying when the Taishi was in power, and start the seven things of restructuring!" As for the education of Dongying, the first thing to do is to open more post roads and move the Han people to the past. ”

"Excellent! Dongying must be managed well, and there can be no more gains and losses, just like the abolition of the Jiaozhi Political Secretary when the temple was announced. ”

After Zhu Yijun nodded and said, he said, "It's getting late, let's discuss it here today!" Although everything is to be enjoyed, it is not advisable to overwork, but to rest properly, and retire. ”

"Yes!"

The sun is setting at night.

The vermilion wall of the Qianqing Gate cornices, more and more brilliant like the morning glow.

At that time, Shen Shixing, Fang Fengshi, Qi Jiguang, Zhang Xueyan, Liang Menglong, etc. all walked out with Zhiwat and went down the jade steps.

Zhu Yijun stood in the Qianqing Palace and watched this scene, the sun stretched his shadow very long, and his crown shone brightly.

Originally, in the original history, many people would not have had any contact with the emperor at this time.

Qi Jiguang, who practiced infantry and cavalry in Jizhou to fight together, was transferred to Guangdong by the Yanguan Shangshu, and then was impeached and dismissed by the Yanguan, and finally died of depression.

Fang will resign and return at the right time.

Zhang Xueyan will be scolded by the official because he is regarded as Zhang Juzheng's remaining party.

Liang Menglong, who proposed the reform of shipping, was also dismissed because he was impeached by the official for bribing Feng Bao, and even did not even pursue him after his death.

But in this life, the Wanli era after Zhang Juzheng's death is really different.
