Chapter 148: Lord Liu didn't take the superior in his eyes at all
Liu Bowen's words attracted the attention of everyone in the study to himself.
Shipbuilding? Sea?
Isn't this a clear slap in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang?
If this is necessary, doesn't that mean that Zhu Yuanzhang's original ban on the sea was a complete mistake?
The generals couldn't help but pinch Liu Bowen in a cold sweat, because they knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would never admit his mistakes, and it was even more impossible to agree to Liu Bowen's suggestion.
Li Shanchang, who was still bowing his head and being silent, heard Liu Bowen's words, and immediately jumped out to accuse:
"Nonsense!"
"Lord Liu's words, where is it placed?"
"At the beginning, in order to prevent the people from being invaded by the Japanese invaders, the upper position issued a ban on the sea and let the people move fifteen miles inward."
"As a result, the increasingly rampant Japanese pirates have been able to be curbed a little."
"If, as Lord Liu said, we rebuild warships and train the navy, wouldn't it be a contradiction?"
"When the time comes, these people think that the imperial court is about to open the sea, and they will return to the sea again, and they will be killed by the Japanese bandits, and they may even be coerced by the Japanese bandits, and the thieves will be strengthened again."
"Acting like this, does Lord Liu want to make the Japanese sit big again?"
"When Lord Liu said this, he didn't put the superior in his eyes at all, nor did he put the people of Daming in his heart!"
"As the imperial history of the Zuo Capital, don't you feel ashamed that Lord Liu said this?"
Li Shanchang can't do anything else, his mouth cannon is still powerful, and Liu Bowen was speechless when he said something.
"The ministers seconded the proposal, and Li Xiang's words are reasonable!"
Several governors on the side, all of whom were from Huaixi, naturally stood on Li Shanchang's side, and they all bowed their hands to Zhu Yuanzhang and expressed their approval.
Xu Da's expression moved slightly, but when he saw several colleagues, they all agreed with him, and finally did not speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing behind the imperial case, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after glancing around, he fixed on Liu Bowen again, and said meaningfully:
"Berwyn, I'll talk about this later, but the most important thing at the moment is how to guard against the attack of the Japanese invaders."
Then, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at the governors under the hall and ordered loudly:
"Fu Youde!"
"The minister is here!"
"Order you to lead 3,000 people in the Beijing battalion, plus the soldiers of the Zhejiang Provincial Guard, to inspect Zhejiang's coastal defense, and you must not let the Japanese invaders board the coast for half a step!"
"Yes!"
"Deng Yu!"
"The minister is here!"
"Order you to lead 3,000 people in the Beijing battalion, plus the soldiers of the Fujian Guard, to inspect the coastal defense of Fujian and beware of the Japanese invaders coming ashore!"
"Yes!"
"Li Wenzhong!"
"The minister is here!"
"Order you to camp 5,000 in Beijing, patrol the Liangguang coast, don't let go of a widow, and land on the Liangguang coast!"
"Yes!"
With Zhu Yuanzhang's holy decrees issued, Li Wenzhong, Fu Youde and Deng Yu were all sent out by Zhu Yuanzhang.
In order to prevent the Japanese from going ashore again and harming the people of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang even asked these governors to set off with the elite of the Beijing camp.
You must know that these elites of the Beijing camp are all iron-blooded veterans who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south and the north, and survived a hundred battles.
They followed Zhu Yuanzhang south to capture Yingtian, fought Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake, and captured Zhang Shicheng in Suzhou City.
Xu Da's Northern Expedition, led by 200,000 elite iron cavalry, are these Beijing camp soldiers.
It can be said that the most elite troops of the Ming Dynasty are all in Beijing.
These soldiers are Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and under normal circumstances, they would not be sent out to exterminate bandits.
Under normal circumstances, to eradicate bandits, Zhu Yuanzhang only needs to let people bring the guards to settle down.
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang directly dispatched an army of 10,000 Beijing battalions, which directly showed that Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the extermination of the Japanese invaders this time.
After these governors received the decrees, Zhu Yuanzhang asked them to retreat first, and after the preparations were completed, they had to set off immediately, without delay.
After a few people left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Da again and said:
"Xu Da, you will go back to Shanghu County later."
"After Li Jin leaves Shanghu County, Shanghu County will inevitably be empty, you go and sit in Shanghu County in person, so as not to be attacked by others."
"Yes!"
Xu Da gave up his hand, but did not leave immediately, but continued:
"The superior, the minister thinks that although the Japanese invaded several times, they were all in the southeast coastal area."
"But it doesn't mean that they can't intrude on the coastal areas of Jiangbei, and the minister asked to lead a large army to defend the Jiangbei region."
When Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen heard this, they were shocked.
They hadn't seen Xu Da in the court for a long time, but when they saw Xu Da again, they felt that Xu Da didn't seem to be very concerned about the affairs of the Japanese Invaders.
But what Xu Da said just now clearly means that he has a full understanding of the Japanese Invaders, but he even has a force in his hands that can guard against the Japanese Invaders.
Immediately, Liu Bowen noticed that Zhu Yuanzhang had mentioned Li Jin again just now.
Thinking of Zhu Yuanzhang's changes to the Japanese Kou this time, Liu Bowen speculated that Li Jin was likely to have an impact on Zhu Yuanzhang.
Coupled with the rumors that were boiling in the capital before, Li Jin is afraid that he has already gone to sea at this moment.
In the current situation where the Japanese are so rampant, either Li Jin does not want to live, or he goes to sea to suppress bandits.
Now it seems that during the period when Xu Da disappeared before, it is very likely that he helped Li Jin train soldiers.
Liu Bowen's eyes flashed, the strategy he just said, Li Jin had already taken the lead, no wonder the emperor looked at him just now, it was so weird just now.
Presumably because he and Li Jin have the same idea, but Li Jin can attack so decisively, which is a bit much beyond his expectations.
Li Shanchang hadn't figured out the key to the matter yet, and he was still skeptical about Xu Da's protection of the sea in Jiangbei.
"Superior, Wei Guogong, the coastline of Jiangbei is too long, if you want to send troops to garrison, I am afraid that no less than 50,000 people will be needed."
"It's inappropriate to work so hard to move the people."
Xu Da smiled faintly and said:
"I don't need so many people, I have 20,000 sailors, and I can defend against the Japanese at sea."
"And I don't need the imperial court to allocate a grain ration, I have my own way to solve the grain and grass problem."
Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen both knew what Xu Da meant, only Li Shanchang was confused, and was about to say more, but Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted:
"Okay, that's it."
"You haven't been home for a long time, so go back to accompany your family first, and then set off back to Shanghai tomorrow."
"Thank you for your understanding."
In the end, Li Shanchang was full of doubts, and slowly followed Xu Da, Liu Bowen and others out of the upper study, not understanding what medicine Zhu Yuanzhang was selling in the gourd.
After Xu Da left the palace, he politely refused Li Shanchang's invitation, and ran towards the Wei Mansion a little impatiently.
After staying in Shanghu County for half a year, he has long missed his wife and children at home.
Liu Bowen looked at Xu Da's figure, and couldn't help but think of Li Jin in Shanghu County, I don't know how Li Jin is progressing?
