Liu Bowen's words made Zhu Yuanzhang find supporters. He was overjoyed and said to the three cabinet ministers with a smile.

"Liu Aiqing is right, let's settle this matter like this, you draw up a charter, and then choose a day to send troops to occupy Dongpu."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang said this with a smile, his tone was extremely firm and affirmative. The emperor's words were like nine tripods, and there was no possibility for everyone to refute.

At this time, there is no room for repayment. What the three cabinet ministers are thinking about now is who is the most suitable to be the main general.

but.This situation is an important national policy. Although the three are cabinet ministers, they cannot make decisions casually.

As the head of the cabinet ministers, Li Shanchang asked first.

"Since Your Majesty has decided to conquer Dongpu, and the ministers and others obey the order, I don't know who will be the main general?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not discuss this matter with Zhu Tao, but as an emperor, he had to ask Zhu Tao for advice on everything.

So, he asked his three cabinet ministers.

"You are cabinet members, and your status is above the six ministries and nine ministers. You should have an idea about this matter. Let's talk about it."

Li Shanchang was born in logistics, similar to Xiao He, so naturally he has no relevant experience. Song Lian is a tutor and a scholar, so he has nothing to say about joining the army and fighting.

Only Liu Bowen is a military adviser, so he spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I think that Liu Zishan, the chief soldier of Zhejiang Province, may consider it."

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang refused and said.

"He is a loyal and brave general, but he is too old. We can't bear him to go to the battlefield again. If there is a mistake, we will feel sorry."

"Ma Feixiong, Governor of Guangxi!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head again, and he replied with a smile.

"This man is brave, but he lacks in strategy. It is definitely a good material to charge into battle, but he is not so suitable as the main general!"

Having said that, in fact, the three cabinet ministers already knew in their hearts that the emperor himself already had a suitable candidate.

"Your Majesty please decide!"

Zhu Yuanzhang blurted out: "We don't need to bother so much, let Haiphong Yamen defend Shi Huyin, lead his [-] new troops to Dongying, promote his official position from the third rank, make him General Jingni, and make an exception to give Wang Ming The flag, after taking down Dongpu, let him make a random decision."

Before, the three cabinet ministers asked Hu Yin to seal him, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree, but just rewarded beauties and property according to his own request.

The reason at that time was very simple, that is, he was worried that after he was promoted, people would recognize him if he had too many contacts, but now there is no such worry.

Because he was asked to lead troops to conquer Dongpu, even if he gained a firm foothold there, not many people knew that this Lord Hu was the original prime minister Hu Weiyong.

At this time, since everything has been settled, the only thing left is to gather a fleet first.

Although Hu Weiyong's [-] new troops are powerful, they can only be used as a vanguard, and he will definitely be sent more people in the future.

To fight against a small maritime country like Japan, you must have strong ships and powerful guns, otherwise you may suffer from underestimating the enemy.

"Didn't the Ministry of War just build ten iron-clad ships according to Tao'er's drawings, and they have all been tested according to the kinetic energy requirements of the steam engine? All these are assigned to Hu Yin for him to use!"

Before the three cabinet ministers could react, Zhu Yuanzhang issued another order.

"Immediately set up a Ship Department under the Haiphong Yamen, which is the Zhengqipin Yamen, responsible for supervising the construction of warships and merchant ships. At the same time, tell the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the Household Minister Liang Qingbiao to let them choose a large caravan. At that time, the caravan entered Dongying at the same time."

Before the three cabinet ministers could continue to digest this sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang added more words.

"Let the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies go to plan, and then deploy 8000 elite soldiers, and put them under the control of Hu Yin at the same time."

These words were a blockbuster, and the three cabinet ministers were completely dumbfounded.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Shanchang spoke.

"Your Majesty thought that Hu Yin was a talent, and he could be regarded as a good general. His Majesty promoted him from the fourth rank to the third rank. It was already an honor, and he also bestowed a favor on the flag of Wang Ming. The power of affairs is already very heavy. Then allocate iron-clad ships and [-] elite troops. , is there something wrong, please refer to your majesty!"

In fact, this is a bit euphemistic, but in fact Li Shanchang's meaning is very clear, that is, it is not good for the court to let a general have too much power and have a lot of autonomy.

Especially this Hu Yin, now, as General Jingni leads troops to conquer Japan, it is easy to hang alone overseas and cede land to stand on his own. If this happens, how will he deal with it?

It's just that Li Shanchang couldn't say such words directly, which hurt Emperor Hongwu's heart.Zhu Yuanzhang understood everything, of course he replied with a smile.

"Employers don't doubt people, people don't need them, this matter is done like this, you just go down and make arrangements, there is no need to continue negotiating."

At this time, Empress Ma was on Zhu Tao's Zhuangzi, and Yun'er gave him a full-body examination.

Then he came out with a bunch of lists, handed them to Zhu Tao, and said.

"Master, I just gave my wife a full-body examination. My wife is very healthy now, and there is no problem at all."

Zhu Tao nodded, and let Queen Ma go to the inner hall again, brought tea for him, and then said.

"Mother, you are in good health now, that is my greatest blessing, my child is looking forward to your coming every day, so that I can do my filial piety."

Empress Ma looked at Zhu Tao. Although this child was not her own, her filial piety towards her was extremely sincere.

"Tao'er, your filial mother knows it well, but your father used to be a merchant and was too busy with business. Now he is the Duke of Fuguo and is busy with many government affairs. It is convenient for mother to take care of him by his side. If there is a chance, he will definitely be in your village." Stay a few days longer."

Zhu Tao nodded, and he brought out some snacks he had just made recently for Empress Ma to taste.

In fact, for him, he also enjoyed this family relationship very much, treating Zhu Yuanzhang as his own father and Empress Ma as his own mother.

"Mom, you need to use the massage chair that the boy made for you last time. By the way, is there enough electricity in the battery? If you run out of electricity, you can come to the boy to charge it at any time."

Empress Ma also looked at Zhu Tao lovingly and said.

"Tao'er, it's rare for you to have such a filial piety. Mother is very pleased. We have asked your father to bring this battery back to Lao Tang and charged it twice. The massager is used every day. Otherwise, mother's body is a little weaker now. Neither sore nor painful, this is all your filial piety."

Seeing what Queen Ma said, Zhu Tao knew what was going on. At this time, his mother happened to be at home, so he also wanted to ask what happened to the jade pendant.
