Chapter 505: Carrying Out Thoughts: The Divine Monarch Ascends the People and Descends

In the face of such a major national event, some militants immediately expressed their attitude: "A small Ryukyu dares to go against me, and this wind cannot be long!" ”

"If you wave the army to ask for it because of 3,000 catties of pig iron, it will be too laborious?" He Cong's brows furrowed slightly, and he also objected.

Although the Ming Dynasty now has the right to mint money, he knows better than anyone that the financial power of the Ming Dynasty is now under greater pressure.

The world is staring at the two major projects of the Ming-Burma Highway and the Beijing-Tianjin Railway, but in order to build a transportation network of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has spent more than 10 million on local infrastructure.

If it weren't for the substantial increase in the tax revenue of the imperial court and the recognition of the people's treasury bonds issued by the royal bank, the Ming Dynasty would probably have to follow the old road of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that there is no news about the gold and silver in the Americas now, and there are more and more places to spend money, and He Cong can't help but reach out and squeeze his money bag.

"This is not a matter of iron, but about the national prestige of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Today, he Ryukyu is not trustworthy, and he will follow the trend of the South Seas and the countries of the East China Sea, what should he do?"

"The reason why the Ming-Burma Highway was built so smoothly is also fortunate that the Governor of the Indian Ocean, Wang Zhi, went around the sea route to attack his Baigu King City!"

……

Even in the face of the high-ranking Tobe Shangshu, the militants were not stunned at all, but expressed their views on the matter one after another.

The Supreme Council is not limited by rank, after all, they are insignificant courtiers in front of the emperor, as long as you are reasonable, you can slap the table with the cabinet chief.

The current Liubu Shilang was originally strong and strong, and he also wanted to show his talent here, so he naturally wanted to express himself.

Ay......

He Cong, the head of the household, couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw the angry militants in the crowd.

Although he felt that he had lost face, this meeting, regardless of size, was also a silent review of whether there was a problem with his position.

It is true that birds do not poop in that part of the Ryukyus, but if everything is considered for gain and loss, then there is no Tohoku granary, and there is no fish in Kyushu Island.

Now that the Ming Dynasty sent troops across the Pacific Ocean to clean up the Inca Empire, this kind of laborious thing was not very advisable, but it was easy to clean up the Ryukyus under their noses.

It is precisely like this, and it is no wonder that the juniors in front of them are like chicken blood, and they have expressed their position on the main battle.

"Finance naturally needs to be considered, but our Ming Dynasty dominates Sanyo!"

"The imperial court raises so much silver to raise soldiers every year, why can't Xiaoliuqiu be cleaned up under his nose?"

"Today, Ryukyu will rebel against us, and someone will dare to go up to the house to uncover the tiles in the future, and this wind will never last!"

……

This controversy did not last long, and soon the opinions were unified, and the Ming needed to deal with the rebellion of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

In particular, the Ryukyu Kingdom also said some disrespectful words about the Ming Dynasty and the emperor when it learned about the pig iron, and this alone had to let the other party know the truth that the trouble came from the mouth.

The most important thing is that the military strength of the Ming Dynasty has been greatly enhanced, and the attack on the Ryukyus can not only make the Ming Dynasty stand up, but also take the opportunity to train the troops well.

Yin Zhi, the first assistant of the cabinet, presided over the meeting and said very calmly: "Since everyone's opinions are basically the same, then we will decide to conquer the Ryukyus!" ”

"Exactly!" Faced with this decision, Liu Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and other officials naturally nodded one after another.

When Yin Zhi, the head of the cabinet, received a reply, he saluted Zhu Youzhu above the attic: "Your Majesty, the ministers have already made a decision on the Ryukyu matter!" Ryukyu is a vassal of our dynasty, and there were disrespectful words to Your Majesty before, but now I dare to go back on my word, and I implore Your Majesty to exempt him from the title and send troops to fight! ”

Although their group of important ministers have already formed a resolution, it needs to be reported to Hongji through the resolution of the officials present by the cabinet chief assistant, and the Hongzhi Emperor will personally make the decision before it can take effect.

To some extent, this model served both the purpose of the assembly and the supreme authority of the emperor.

Especially the latter, now the Manchu civil and military knew that only the emperor who was high above could not be offended, and all important matters of the state needed to be decided by the emperor.

Zhu Youji's voice came from above, and he said very concisely: "Quasi-ministers are invited!" Again, who can be in charge? ”

is different from the political concept of sharing the blessings of peace with the scholars, and now it really needs to be summed up as "the god king is above the people and the people are down". Even if a small Yi Chang dares to despise the Ming Dynasty and refuses to contribute to the construction of the Ming Dynasty, then he doesn't mind showing his iron fist.

Especially between the East China Sea and the South China Sea, the Fujian direction has long reflected that there are pirates here, and now it is just the right time to station an army there to completely control that sea area.

Since it is determined to become a maritime country that dominates seventy percent of the world's area, then you can't be too attached to those barren lands, after all, there is not much time left for you.

"Commandment!" When the ministers heard Zhu Youji's statement, they also saluted respectfully.

Although this may seem like a new topic, it is actually an extension of the first one. After all, if you choose to go to war, then there will be all kinds of things involved, and the choice of the coach is the most important thing.

In fact, Daming is now recognized as the most powerful candidates for the coach is Wang Yue and Wang Zhi, but Wang Zhi has been appointed as the governor of the Indian Ocean, and Wang Yue is now in charge of the military aircraft department, and he is not too young.

Wang Yue was like an old monk, looking at everything in front of him with great satisfaction, and saw the surging vitality of this court.

If it was put in the past, these civil servants were eager to calm things down, and even the small Ryukyu Kingdom must be timid. Where is it like now, the whole dynasty is the voice of the main battle.

In the past, Wenchen kept saying that he loved the country and the people, but in the face of the humiliation of the border people, he also pretended to turn a blind eye, and even tried his best to conceal it as he did in the Datong fiasco back then.

Although it is now a fight and killing, it seems that the labor and wealth in the eyes of Wenchen hurt the people, but on the contrary, he cares about the people's livelihood and seeks the continuous development of the country.

Wang Yue's mouth didn't move, because the current atmosphere no longer needed to be as fruitless as the fight back then, but now he just needs to watch quietly.

Since the rise of martial arts such as Xu Shiying and Zhao Chengqing, the status of military generals is getting higher and higher, and even now many battles are directly commanded by Wu Xun.

In view of the younger officials implemented by the Ming court, after excluding those generals who were too old to go to war, they were now newly promoted martial artists with high fighting spirit.

Zhu Youzhu faced two candidates recommended by the ministers, one was Tiexiangshan, who was promoted to the Marquis of Pingliao, and the other was Zhendong, the king of Zhendong.

Iron Elephant Mountain naturally doesn't need to say much, its performance in the Aegis Camp is very impressive, and Yiping Liaobo is even more terrified of the savage Jurchen when he sits in the northeast.

When he was sniping at the department, he killed and fled because of the rout, so he was promoted to the Marquis of Pingliao, and he was hereditary of Pingliaobo.

Wang Zhendong was originally a small garrison of Shanhaiguan, but he made great achievements in the conquest of the Jurchen Sanwei in Haixi, and performed well during his tenure as the general army of Jianzhou.

These two martial artists actually have their own merits, although Wang Zhendong's personal combat power is not as good as Tiexiang Mountain, but in terms of resourcefulness, Wang Zhendong, who was born in Jiangmen, is stronger.

Zhu Youzhu didn't hesitate too much, and said conclusively: "Since this is the case, then choose Zhendongbo!" As for how many troops to use this time, where to deploy them, how to replenish food and grass, and which route to attack, this matter will be handed over to the Military Aircraft Pavilion! ”

Although he yearns for assembly, when it comes to military affairs, he trusts the Military Aircraft Pavilion headed by Wang Yue even more. Moreover, some military operations should not expand the scope of deliberations in such a way.

"Commandment!" Wang Yue and other members of the Military Aircraft Department immediately stood up and saluted in a proper manner.

The Heart Nourishing Hall is bathed in the summer sun, and the sandalwood of the imperial study rises.

In the next supreme meeting, the second item was about the prevention of the smallpox epidemic in Yunnan, and the third item was that Manduhai was seriously ill and hoped that Beifei Yikexi would return to the province.

In response to the smallpox epidemic, Daming naturally has a solution, and now it only needs to transfer more cattle suffering from cowpox to Yunnan as a priority.

It is said that the third item is the emperor's family affairs, but it is actually involved in the political turmoil of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Although the titular Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was the little prince, the actual control had always fallen into the hands of Manduhai, who had been in control of the Northern Yuan military and political power for more than ten years.

Now Manduhai is seriously ill, and once Manduhai dies, then the power of the Northern Yuan will inevitably be turbulent.

Due to the young age of the little prince, not only is the Northern Yuan out of the Northern Yuan now, but also many tribes have announced their separation from the Northern Yuan, which is one of the reasons why Manduhai wants to send the little prince to the capital.

It was in this way that Manduhai suddenly asked to meet with Yikexi, which was both a family affair and a state affair.

"Our Ming Dynasty advocates filial piety, and the northern concubine should return to the country!"

"If the country of Beishun is turbulent, Concubine Bei may be able to help the Ming Dynasty govern Beishun!"

"No matter how you look at this matter, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, the old man supports Concubine Bei to return to the country and save her relatives!"

……

In the face of this emperor's housework, Da Ming saw the possibility of completely annexing Mongolia, and immediately expressed his stance like chicken blood.

Although it is not appropriate for the dignified concubine to go, Manduhai will not kill his daughter, but Yikexi can indirectly control the Northern Yuan in the name of helping the little prince sit on the throne.

Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was a very traditional minister, and it was rare for him to express his support, but his reason was to preach filial piety to the people of the world.

When the vast majority of people said that the northern concubine could go to Beishun Province to pro-family, Yin Zhi, the first assistant of the cabinet, reported again, and Emperor Hongzhi made the final ruling.

In the face of this resolution, Zhu Youzhu also chose to agree very simply.

In his heart, he actually wanted to lean towards the northern concubine, one was that Yi Kexi begged him to see the last side of Manduhai, the second was that the little prince was still in his hands, and the third was naturally a good opportunity to master the Northern Yuan this time.

Once Manduhai dies of illness, then Concubine Bei is the eldest sister like a mother, and they can take the opportunity to support the little prince to become a puppet, so as to gradually incorporate Mongolia into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Although there may be a little potential risk here, the potential benefits are really too tempting, so that Zhu Youji can't help but be moved.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" In the face of Emperor Hongzhi's decision, all the important ministers also bowed respectfully.

After finalizing some details, the matter of saving relatives was implemented.

With the departure of all the important ministers from Saien, the resolution of the Supreme Council was handed down to all ministries, and the conquest of the Ryukyu Kingdom became the most important state affair of the time.

The capital, the town of Dongbo.

This is a new house, although the location has deviated from Wangfu Street, but in this capital where every inch of land is valuable, it is already a very rare house.

Wang Zhendong is in his forties, which is the age of prime and strength, because he was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, the whole person looks very majestic, and his flat face gives people a kind of coercion.

There is no class arranged by Jingwei Wuxue today, so he is also busy training his son, playing the role of a strict father.

"One hundred and one!"

"One hundred and two!"

"One hundred and three!"

……

Wang Hu practiced push-ups with difficulty, beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and the whole person was wet with his own sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

"Exercising the body is important, but you also need to train your brain, and you also need to train your heart! As a father, it doesn't matter if you are a Jackie Chan or an adult in the future, but remember to Lao Tzu, you must not be a second or five boy like Su Can, otherwise my father will also kill you with a knife under the spring! Wang Zhendong looked at his son on the ground condescendingly, and admonished seriously.

Wang Hu's face was covered with sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and responded: "Remember, child! ”

"It's hard for you to take a day off at home, and you are angry with your group of students every day, and now you are angry with your son, can't you let him stop for a day?" The queen mother came over with sour plum soup, but she spoke for her son.

"A loving mother is a loser!" Wang Zhendong glared at his wife, and said very seriously: "Now that the Holy Monarch is in the court, it is a good time for my generation to make contributions!" Zhao Chengqing is not only the Duke of Yasukuni, but now that he has entered the Military Aircraft Pavilion, even the guy from Tiexiang Mountain has been sealed as a marquis, how can our Wang family slack off! ”

"One hundred and ten!"

"One hundred and eleven!"

"One hundred and twelve!"

……

As if stimulated, Wang Hu also continued to persevere, his eyes flashing with a desire to make contributions.

Over the years, he has followed his father to fight in the north and south, making him far more mature than his peers, not only hoping to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, but also hoping to help his father go further.

It was at this moment that the housekeeper hurriedly ran over and reported: "Master, someone from the palace just came, please follow him into the palace immediately!" ”

"It's coming!" When Wang Zhendong learned that the emperor had summoned him, he suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy.

Although he did not dislike the emperor after removing him from the post of chief soldier of Jizhen, he arranged for him to enter the Jingwei Martial Arts School to teach outstanding students and impart his knowledge to these outstanding talents cultivated by the imperial court, but compared with this peaceful life, he was more eager to go to the battlefield and make contributions to the imperial court.
