Orthodox decade, May 20.

Outside the palace, a large number of officials gathered, but unlike the previous scene, these officials today are all burly, and it is difficult to see the elegant and easy-going atmosphere.

That's right, these people are the military attachés of the Jinling Metropolitan Division, and today it is the crown prince who has officially summoned them.

When the hour was approaching, everyone had already set up shifts in advance, and more than 20 people were silent.

Yesterday, these people wanted to meet in advance, but unfortunately Zhu Jinghong didn't give them a chance at all, so their careful thinking was in vain.

The failure to detect the tone in advance made these military attaches a little apprehensive, and they were afraid that they would encounter problems in a while.

That's right, at the moment, their mood is like a student who is about to be referenced.

With the sound of bells and drums, several eunuchs walked out of the palace gate quickly and shouted out the order summoned by the prince.

Finally, after tidying up their appearance, a group of purple-robed and blue-robed officials followed the eunuchs into the palace gate with their heads down.

All the way into the Yong'an Gate, everyone came to the outside of the main hall.

They thought that they would be summoned to the Yong'an Hall today, but the eunuchs led them to the east side of the palace.

Although I have doubts in my heart, this is a palace after all, and a group of military attachés can only hold back if they have problems.

When everyone came to the door of the hall, they saw a map in the middle of the hall, and the outline was the boundary of Jinling.

On the left and right sides of the map, there is a military attache standing in the fifth grade, who is the two generals who came to Jinling with Zhu Jingyuan.

Both of them were in their thirties, and they were in the prime of life, and their eyes were shining.

On the north side of the map, there are the two Zhu Jinghong brothers, who are listening to the analysis of the two generals at this moment.

When the people from Jinling Dusi entered the main hall, the conversation of several people in the hall stopped, and Zhu Jinghong also retreated behind the prince.

As a so-called princeling, he will restrain his light when he does not show his face.

Otherwise, the limelight will overshadow the prince at all times, and his idea of using the "princeling" as a shield will be in vain.

When Zhu Jingyuan returned to the main seat and sat down, a group of generals in the hall made a big salute.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"Let's get flat!"

After everyone got up, Zhu Jingyuan spoke: "I called you over today to set a strategy to suppress the Japanese in order to complete His Majesty's trust!" ”

According to the strategy set in advance, Zhu Jingyuan first asked: "Jinling Dusi, what are the results of the current crackdown on the Japanese?" ”

It was the Jinling Metropolitan Division who asked, and Wang Quanyi, the commander of the only capital who was qualified to reply, saw him walk out of the train.

"Your Highness Qiqi, since the beginning of this month to the present, the Jinling Metropolitan Division has mobilized various departments to clear out the Japanese bandits, and so far more than 1,700 thieves have been killed and more than 220 people have been captured!"

"How many are there today? Where are they entrenched? ”

"Back to Your Highness, there are still nearly 10,000 Japanese robbers, most of them are entrenched on the islands, and the officers and soldiers lack warships, so it is difficult to wipe them out!"

This is also why, the Japanese have not been able to clean up, just because the Ming Dynasty navy is not good.

It is precisely because the navy is not good that it has insufficient control over the sea, which leads to the rampant maritime smuggling trade, and huge profits have become the breeding ground for pirates.

After nearly 100 years of suppression, it is not clear how many of them are real and how many of them are coastal people.

At this time, Zhu Jinghong interjected: "It is difficult to annihilate them all, so the Jinling Dusi is helpless?" ”

This was a very unpleasant sound, and everyone looked at the voice, but found that it was a young man wearing a round-necked robe and a black gauze winged crown.

Since the crown prince sits on the throne, this is naturally the thirteenth son of the emperor.

"Thirteenth Master, the ministers are trying to solve it!"

"And what did you come up with?" Zhu Jinghong asked.

Wang Quanyi didn't answer, but set his eyes on Zhu Jingyuan, after all, this is the prince who is in charge.

"The words of the thirteenth brother are my words!" Zhu Jingyuan said in a deep voice.

He was relatively experienced in talking to civil officials, but he was blind in the face of martial affairs, so he simply let Zhu Jinghong take care of it.

I only heard Wang Quanyi reply: "The Thirteenth Master of Qiyu, the ministers and others have discussed two strategies, which are suppression and prevention!" ”

"For the Japanese on the shore, the ministers have mobilized the elites of each guard and will exterminate them at all costs!"

"And for those Japanese who are entrenched on the island, let Gaoyouwei, Yangzhou Wei, Suzhou Wei and Zhenhaiwei strictly guard against them, and never let them land in chaos!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong frowned and asked, "According to what you mean, the Japanese on the island can't be suppressed?" ”

Wang Quanyi said helplessly: "Thirteenth master, this clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, if we want to completely exterminate the Japanese invaders, we need a large number of warships to participate in the war, but the court sailors are really stretched!" ”

This is indeed an objective fact, and it is impossible to swim without a warship.

Ironically, there were a lot of warships on the Japanese side, and they were equipped with a lot of artillery, and the imperial court sailors were still at a disadvantage in a one-on-one situation.

"Fourth brother, since there is a lack of warships, can you go on a concert and ask the court for allocation?"

Hearing this, Zhu Jingyuan thought about it and replied, "You can try!" ”

Nodding, Zhu Jinghong asked Wang Quanyi again: "How many people are there on the shore now?" ”

As the head of the Jinling Metropolitan Division, Wang Quanyi is in charge of the overall affairs, and he can't remember the more detailed situations.

So his gaze looked behind him, where stood the commander of Tongzhi Kong Jinshan.

Knowing what his boss meant, Kong Jinshan immediately went out to work and replied: "Back to the Thirteenth Master, now there are nearly 3,000 Japanese robbers on the shore, entrenched in Xinghua Rugao and other places north of the Yangtze River, as well as the land of Susong south of the Yangtze River!" ”

Zhu Jingyuan is the first person responsible for the suppression of the widows, and after hearing the current situation, he finally felt anxious.

"How do you plan to exterminate these Japanese on the shore?" Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but ask.

"Naturally, it is to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress, and the ministers have already discussed a strategy, and ask the prince to review it!"

Wang Quanyi replied, and then beckoned behind him, and Kong Jinshan took out a piece of music.

Through the great eunuch Zhang Xin, the chapter came to Zhu Jingyuan.

Looking at it, it is indeed detailed and thoughtful, and it has also set a three-step strategic goal, as long as you follow the steps to eliminate the Japanese bandits.

Motioning to Zhu Jinghong to take over the chapter, Zhu Jingyuan said calmly: "If you have this strategy, then follow the implementation!" ”

A group of generals glanced at each other, and Wang Quanyi could only smile bitterly: "Prince Qiyu, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, and this time to exterminate the Japanese Kou, we need to transfer troops from each guard, but the supply of grain and grass has not yet been decided, so ...... It's hard to make the trip! ”

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, after the reform of the ancestor Zhu Zhenzhuo, the soldiers of the Dusi Guard no longer participated in the military cantonment, and the grain, grass and military salaries were uniformly allocated by the imperial court.

The problem now is that the accounts in Jinling are in a mess, and it is impossible to mobilize food and salary according to the actual situation, so the Jinling Metropolitan Division cannot transfer many soldiers.

So much so that now, there are more than 30,000 people under the jurisdiction of the Jinling Metropolitan Division, and there are more than 3,000 Japanese criminals.

Just like the lack of warships, there is no way to transfer troops without sufficient food and grass at the moment.

At this point, the situation is very clear, and the most scarce thing at the moment is food and warships.

Next, Zhu Jingyuan asked about some other things, and after having a more detailed understanding of the matter of suppressing the widows, he announced the end of the discussion.

After everyone paid their respects, they withdrew from the main hall one after another.

Walking within the palace walls, these people seemed very relaxed, and today this level has finally passed.

They were afraid that they would be reprimanded like those civil officials, but nothing happened today.

Just as everyone was discussing where to drink today, the voice of the eunuch came from behind them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, stay here, the Thirteenth Master is invited!"
