"Now the enemy of the Ming Dynasty is still dominated by the remnants of the former Yuan, and I have deployed heavy soldiers and famous generals in the north, I believe that sooner or later the remnants of the enemy will be eliminated and will no longer become a disaster of the Ming Dynasty!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang say this beginning, many people guessed that his second exam question was afraid that he was going to talk about martial arts!

is also, the way to govern the country and the country is nothing more than the way of civil and military; The empty seal case just now is considered the way of civil governance, and the next thing is martial arts, which is not difficult to understand!

Li Shanchang's side, analyzing this in his heart, gave him more certainty. As long as he continues to test the way of governing the country and securing the country, then his son believes that he still has an advantage.

And Song Lian, on his side, didn't have any worries after knowing that the next question was the martial arts exam. Because Mei Yin's uncle is the Marquis of Runan, under the southern and northern wars, he made great achievements and was awarded the hereditary marquis. Either way, I can say something about it.

And as far as martial arts are concerned, there are not so many taboo things, so there is no need to worry about Mei Yin saying anything scary.

Those who are looking forward to Zhang Yifan's goodness, such as Queen Ma and Zhu Di and others, are a little unoptimistic about Zhang Yifan. After all, in terms of martial arts, it is a real sword and a real gun, but it is not something that can be fooled by lip service.

Not to mention, Zhu Yuanzhang is the founding emperor, in terms of martial arts, if someone else has a mouth, he can know if it is good or not!

Under all kinds of thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang has already said to the point: "However, there is another scourge in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the coastal robbers, who have repeatedly harassed them, making the coastal people uneasy. I would like to hear what you think, or what you propose about the Japanese Bandits? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang is really nerve-wracking. Or it can be said that this matter of the Japanese coward made him lose face and was very aggrieved.

When the country was first founded, he sent an envoy to the Wa Kingdom to announce the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and your Wa Kingdom would come to pay tribute.

As a result, Prince Huailiang of the Wa Kingdom killed all the envoys, leaving only two envoys, and expelled them back to China after a few months of humiliation. At that time, the military generals of the Ming Dynasty demanded to crusade against the Japanese state.

Zhu Yuanzhang was slapped in the face, the embarrassing kind. However, when the country was first founded, the former Yuan was the great enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and the army was still very strong, threatening the entire northern Xinjiang; And Zhu Yuanzhang took into account that when the Yuan Dynasty was at the height of its national strength, he conquered the Japanese State twice and the whole army was wiped out, and in the end, he endured this breath.

In the second year, he sent an envoy to the Japanese country in a low profile, the main purpose of which was to solve the problem of the Japanese in the coastal areas.

As a result, the Wa State didn't kill anyone this time, but sent a monk to Daming, but at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that it was not the court of the Wa State that was dealing with him, so the matter was finally settled.

As for the Japanese invaders, they continue to harass the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, from Shandong to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, and Zhejiang and Fujian are the most fierce.

In the fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang announced: "It is forbidden for people living in the sea to go to sea privately." ”

But with Zhu Yuanzhang's character, it is impossible for him not to mind, but he has no good way, when he chooses the colt this time, he asks this question, he really wants to know, is there a good way for these young talents?

Needless to say, in addition to Mei Yin, Li Qi and Zhang Yifan, the seven indiscriminate talents were directly dumbfounded when they heard that it was a major military event, and continued to bow their heads as mud bodhisattvas, lest they would attract the emperor's attention if they moved. If you are named, you will definitely make a fool of yourself.

In the previous empty seal case test, Li Qi was certainly not a fool, although the emperor did not announce the result, but he knew that Zhang Yifan's answer was more suitable for the emperor's mind. In this way, of course, he is in a hurry.

He is the eldest son of the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, if he is compared to a country boy in the policy of governing the country and the country, then where will this face and his father's face go?

Li Qi thought so, and was ready to answer this question.

At least he thinks his approach is sound. If someone says it first, and then what will he do, is it possible to second?

If that's the case, the seven fools will all say, what good comments can there be!

Based on this idea, he took the initiative to play to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the current countermeasures of the imperial court, prohibiting coastal people from going to sea privately is an excellent national policy. In addition, the students thought that they might be able to add an article to supplement it. Even if the people along the coast are ordered to retreat 30 miles inward, in this way, the trouble of the Japanese can be truly eliminated. ”

When Li Qi said this, he was afraid that he would not understand enough, or that the emperor would not understand, so he hurriedly explained: "Now that my Ming army is strong, the Japanese will definitely not dare to go deep into the interior. If not, it will be destroyed. However, if they do not dare to go deep into the interior, they will not be able to grab anything, and they will inevitably retreat when they are unprofitable. Over time, the wouldn't come back. In this way, the plague of the Japanese will be eliminated! ”

His countermeasure is similar to that of the later Manchu Qing Dynasty in order to deal with Zheng Chenggong's sailors. Seriously, with Li Qi's IQ, he couldn't think of it.

After Li Shanchang set a plan to force Zhu Yuanzhang to take the test on the way to govern the country and secure the country, he did his son's homework in all aspects.

Therefore, Li Qi was able to give this suggestion as soon as he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's question.

When it comes to martial arts, the generals present pay more attention. For example, several vassal kings who led troops, as well as Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao Guo.

To be honest, after listening to Li Qi's words, most of them disagreed.

What is it? Is this hiding from others and not being aggrieved?

The Ming Dynasty has just opened the country, and it is absolutely not something that these generals can endure.

However, today is not a national policy, but the emperor selects young talents to choose horses. Therefore, several of their generals all looked at it and did not speak.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened, and did not speak immediately, looking at his expression, he was obviously thinking.

Inside and outside the pavilion, there was silence again.

Mei Yin thought that there was no problem with his previous answer, or it was slightly inferior to Zhang Yifan's answer, at least when people were patting the emperor's ass, they were also thinking about rescuing those good officials.

On this second issue, he also didn't want to lose points, but also because he was very dissatisfied with Li Qi's words.

Seeing that the emperor was thinking there and didn't speak, he couldn't help it, and immediately said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, this is a misleading word for the country and the people!" The students dared to ask, if this was the case, the people along the coast of the Ming Dynasty would live on the sea, what would they do? ”

When he said this, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang turning his head to look at him, Mei Yin generously stated: "The student thinks that my Ming soldiers are strong and strong, and the Japanese dare to come, and if they are killed, the students will not believe it, and my officials and soldiers will not be able to kill those Japanese invaders!" ”

His words won the favor of several vassal kings and Cao Guogong, and for a while, their faces were full of appreciation.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and then asked rhetorically: "With such a long coastline, the Japanese don't know where to land, how to prevent it?" Army mobilization, food, grass and military salaries, how to solve them, have you thought about these things? ”

"......" Mei Yin was dumbfounded when she heard this.

At this time, he was only sixteen years old, and although he had enthusiasm, he had insufficient experience to cause this situation.

No, a smile appeared on Li Shanchang's face, and he seemed to enjoy the current situation. Even his son, naturally.

As for Mei Yin's teacher Song Lian, he shook his head slightly: This student still needs to be experienced!

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Mei Yin, he turned his head to look at Zhang Yifan.

This kid often has unexpected performances, so will he give himself any special surprises in this matter?

Thinking so in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Zhang Yifan, what different opinions do you have?" ”

Zhang Yifan hadn't thought about the matter before, but taking advantage of the gap between Li Qi and Mei Yin talking earlier, he also thought about it in combination with history.

Therefore, under Zhu Yuanzhang's question, he could also answer immediately: "Your Majesty, if at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers were so passive and blindly defensive, then what should we do in the future?" In all dynasties, in terms of military strength, it was generally the most at the beginning of the founding of the country. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised when he heard it, he had never considered the problem from this angle. At this time, when I heard it, I immediately thought about it.

Although it is said that in the history of China, not all dynasties are the strongest in the founding army, but the big difference is not bad, this is the case. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally couldn't think that his Zhu dynasty would be an exception, and it would be stronger from generation to generation.

Then a very real problem comes, if he is so passive and defensive, pretending that the problem does not exist, then what will he do when he is a descendant in the future?

When it comes to the long-term issue of the Zhu dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally attaches the most importance to it.

Seeing that he was very serious and thinking seriously about Zhang Yifan's question, Li Shanchang suddenly became anxious.

He also didn't think about this problem from the perspective of future generations, looking at the emperor's appearance at this time, he felt that Zhang Yifan had given the emperor a greater touch, so that the answers of both civil and military were Zhang Yifan's best, wouldn't the eldest princess be this country boy?

Seriously, Li Shanchang was worried, and finally opened his mouth to ask Zhang Yifan: "Then what you mean is to start a war with the Japanese Kou, could it be that the question that His Majesty asked Mei Yin just now, didn't you hear it?" His Majesty is inattentive when he speaks, so ...... Not good! ”

He originally wanted to buckle his hat more seriously, but immediately remembered that Zhang Yifan had rebelled against him before, so he was really a little scared, so he temporarily changed his words and didn't dare to say anything serious, lest Zhang Yifan really scare him again.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what he said, he glanced at Li Shanchang, then looked at Zhang Yifan, and asked lightly: "What the Taishi said is good, what do you have to say about what I asked just now?" ”

He didn't believe that Zhang Yifan didn't listen attentively, and he believed that Zhang Yifan had his own statement, so he wanted to hear it.
