Save your compatriots from fire and water?

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Zhu Xiongying's words and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Stinky boy, you didn't tell us that at the beginning, you told us at the beginning that the Japanese country has a large number of gold and silver mines, and the Ming Dynasty sent troops to take it, and it was definitely a profit or a loss.

Now, it's time to save people.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't have a good impression of the Wa Kingdom, especially the killing of the envoys he sent at the beginning, which made him very angry, and he was almost about to send troops to pacify the Wa State.

In the end, under the persuasion of Liu Bowen and others, Zhu Yuanzhang gave up.

Now his eldest grandson has begun to plan the annexation of the Wa Kingdom, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang hesitate a little.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is a decisive person after all, and he will not hesitate soon, because he knows that even if he stops his eldest grandson this time, with his eldest grandson's character, in the future, he will definitely crusade against the Japanese kingdom again.

Instead of not seeing anything after he dies, it is better to let his eldest grandson do it while he is still alive, so that even if something goes wrong, at least he will be the one to take care of.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and said: "Daming Sailor, we brought it out single-handedly, and made great achievements for our Daming country, these years, we have indeed ignored some, our eldest grandson is right, we can't let Daming Sailor lose his former demeanor, it is indeed time to give them an additional budget!" ”

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang's words came out, His Royal Highness and ministers, you look at me, I will look at you, and finally Liu Sanwu stood up.

"Your Majesty, please think twice! The minister remembers, the emperor once said, the country uses soldiers, just like a doctor uses medicine, if there is a disease, you need to prescribe medicine to treat the disease, if there is no disease, you don't need to prescribe medicine, if there is no disease, you have to eat the disease, governing the country is like curing the disease, the world is not peaceful, you need a large army to survey the chaos, but the world is too peaceful, just need to renovate the armor soldiers, spare national defense! If there is no reason to raise an army, it is like a doctor prescribing a dizzy medicine and forcing a person who is not sick to take it, although it will not cause physical disability or death, but it is enough to greatly damage the vitality! ”

"Now that the financial problems of the imperial court have just been alleviated, and there is still a deficit of more than one million, next year we will add an additional budget of 2 million to the sailor, is it too hasty? The minister thought that good steel should be used on the blade, and that this part of the silver should be used as a disaster relief reserve, wouldn't it be more appropriate? ”

Liu Sanwu said a long paragraph freely, and took out what Zhu Yuanzhang had said to provide evidence, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond, but looked at Zhu Xiongying.

The meaning is obvious, whoever presents it will give evidence.

Zhu Xiongying still looked calm, and said: "What the emperor said, naturally it is extremely reasonable, but I want to ask, is the world really peaceful?" ”

Liu Sanwu was slightly stunned, only to hear Zhu Xiongying continue: "The northern border troubles naturally don't need to be talked about, and the southeast coast, perennial harassment by the Japanese invaders, the people are miserable, now although the King of Qi has achieved certain results, just like you just said, the state uses soldiers like doctors to prescribe medicine, and now the medicine prescribed by the state can be regarded as curing the problem of the Japanese invaders on the surface, but is it really eradicated?" ”

"Once the king of Qi withdraws his army, it won't be long before those widows will come back, and the court will need to prescribe medicine again, or set up a guard, or re-send troops, money, and efforts, but it still can't be eradicated, it's like a acne, if you don't get rid of it, he will always be a hidden danger to your body, making you uncomfortable from time to time, and maybe even endangering your health!"

"Once our Ming Dynasty's coastal defense is slackened, they will continue to erode the coastal areas of my Ming Dynasty like a disease, the death of the army and the people, the cost of military supplies, invincible, in the long run, the Japanese rebellion will cause a mass panic among the people, bringing serious hidden dangers to the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, who can bear such consequences?"

Zhu Xiongying's voice fell, and Liu Sanwu, who has always been able to speak well, was silent.

Because what Zhu Xiongying is talking about is the facts that happened in history.

Now that the country is strong, the politics is clear, and the military is strong, the Japanese have not yet been able to pose any threat, but in the near future, the Japanese will cause great damage to the Ming Dynasty.

After the orthodoxy of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the politics of the Ming Dynasty became increasingly corrupt, and corruption and bribery prevailed.

With the corruption of Ming politics, the plundering of wealth by the imperial family, nobles, and bureaucratic landlords became more and more serious. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the government has become increasingly corrupt, the military of the Ming Dynasty has retreated from strong to weak, the coastal defense has been slackened, and the imperial force has been seriously damaged. With the vicious development of land annexation, the military tuntian was encroached upon, and the soldiers of the guard were occupied by the powerful family. The sergeants fled after being mistreated. The army was seriously short of personnel, its fighting quality was extremely poor, its equipment was defeated, and its food and grass were scarce, which facilitated the aggressive activities of the Japanese invaders.

Due to the increasing political corruption and policy mistakes, coastal defense facilities have lost their proper functions. The guards are useless and vulnerable. The water village set up on the island to serve the enemy in danger was moved from the island to the coast because the soldiers were afraid of crossing the sea, and the original water village was taken by the pirates as a lair. In the guards along the coasts of Zhangzhang and Quan, there was a shortage of military rations, damaged ships, and a shortage of soldiers.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, after the Chahar Department of the Northern Yuan Dynasty moved eastward, it fought repeatedly with the Ming Dynasty in the Liaodong region for a long time, suffered heavy losses, and the remnants of the Yuan forces frequently went south, and the Ming court was forced to dispatch elite divisions to stick to the area of the Beijing Division and the Great Wall.

During this period of time, the plague caused the coastal areas to decay the towns, and where they passed, the villages and cities were ruined, the houses were empty, and the lives and property of the Ming people suffered great losses.

Zhu Xiongying said solemnly: "If you use a soldier like medicine, then you can use a fierce medicine to completely eliminate the stubborn disease of the wolf!" In this way, the descendants of our Ming Dynasty can be spared the suffering of war! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, who is in favor of Lone's words? Who is against? ”

Zhu Xiongying's voice echoed in the hall, and the hall was silent for a while, and someone began to stand up.

"Minister, second!"

"Minister, second!"

"Minister, second!"

……

All of a sudden, the ministers stood up one after another, bowing their bodies to show their approval.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched quietly, but his heart was full of joy.

He was not because Zhu Xiongying wanted to plan the fight against the Japanese invaders, but because Zhu Xiongying shone with the spirit of a king.

This point is not well reflected in the late prince Zhu Biao, although Zhu Biao is generous and benevolent, but at the same time, it also causes him to care too much about the statements of his courtiers.

This is also the only place where Zhu Yuanzhang criticized Zhu Biao.

At this time, Liu Sanwu didn't know what to say, with Confucian thought, of course, he was from Huairou Yuan, but this involved the country's military, and he couldn't refute what Zhu Xiongying said just now, so he couldn't object to anything.

He was more concerned with the issue of silver.

Liu Sanwu arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, where did the two million military budget come from?" You can't increase the taxes of the people, can you? ”

Zhu Xiongying smiled: "Lonely nature has a way!" ”
