Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu took a bite of the meat, tapped him with his chopsticks, and said, "Don't come here to coax me, there are too many people coaxing me these days, you're not bad."

Hai Lanzhu said something, and after enlivening the atmosphere, he didn't say any more.

Zhu Xu and Cao Wenzhao ate a small hot pot and drank some wine. The chatterbox opened up, and the two chatted casually about military affairs.

"The deputy marshal's cleaning plan is still very stable, and it hasn't caused much instability..."

"The current structure of the army consists of three war zones, the maritime theater, the Royal Legion has two cavalry and one heavy cavalry, two battalions in Miyun and Tianjin, with a total of around 40..."

"Mr. Sun Ge wants to reform the Governor's Mansion, and will carry out large-scale reductions in the local army. The total number may remain at around 20..."

"Although it is a special arrangement under the current disaster situation, I still feel that the number of this army is a bit small..."

What Cao Wenzhao and Zhu Xu said was from their hearts, and basically no one in the government and the opposition said such words.

Too many people wished that the horse would release Nanshan, so how could they give Zhu Xu the opportunity to be aggressive?

Zhu Xu took a sip of his wine and said, "Well, the current structure is basically stable, so I'm not worried. Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu are both mature, prudent, and far-sighted people, and I can trust them. As for the number of troops, I also think it's small. A little bit, but this time is also a good opportunity. The compulsory military service system is advancing fairly well. In recent years, there are at least 200 million Tibetan soldiers among the people. As each year progresses, this number will gradually expand. When the people's hearts are relieved, it's time for me to come out of the box..."

Cao Wenzhao was the one who understood Zhu Xu's ambitious ambition best, and said with a solemn expression, "What the emperor said is that I also agree with keeping a low profile, accumulating strength, and making full preparations for the future."

Zhu Xu shabu-boiled the meat and ate it very comfortably.

After preparing for these years, seeing the plan advance step by step, and the realization is just around the corner, his ambition is like wildfire, constantly spreading.

Cao Wenzhao looked at the slow-moving Zhu Xu, as close as before, but his mind was extremely tense.

The Emperor in front of him, whom he had served since childhood, was becoming more and more gracious, and even he couldn't fathom what he was thinking.

A series of plans such as the "New Deal" have long been made public and known to the world, but is this really the purpose of His Majesty in front of you?Or, is it his ultimate goal?

Cao Wenzhao glanced at Hai Lanzhu, who was sitting in the middle, sharing food for them, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, there should be other orders for me to go to Mongolia, right?"

Zhu Xu didn't know how much Cao Wenzhao was thinking for a while, put down his wine glass, and said, "Well, first, go to Guihua City, appease the original Lin Danhan's tribe, and then give Horqin some confidence, and show my Ming protection. The determination of Monan Mongolia. Second, go to Kulun City and show the three great Khans of Mobei the strength of my Ming army, so that they will not be too peaceful for a long time and cause chaos for me. After all, Khalkha still has some strength. Third, go for a while Going to Tibet, Gushi Khan is very talented and can suppress the Oirat Mongolian tribes, but it is also necessary to prevent some people after Gushi Khan from having unreasonable intentions to offend Tianwei. The Royal Legion, this time all go..."

Cao Wenzhao's face changed slightly, and he said, "All go?"

The Royal Legion represents the strongest combat power of Ming Dynasty!The First Army in his hands is a mixed army, equipped with the most advanced firearms, the strongest armor, the strongest logistics, and the most special training method. It is the new army of the Ming Dynasty.

Under its jurisdiction are the Taining Guard of Zu Dashou, the Chijin Guard of Mangui, and the [-] armored cavalry led by Zhao, which are almost all the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.

If something happens to the Royal Legion in Mongolia, it will definitely be a big earthquake!

Zhu Xu picked up the chopsticks again indifferently, and said: "Go all, I want to attack the Japanese country, and I will not be able to mobilize troops in the next few years. At this time, Mongolia must be quiet for a few years. Now they have many internal problems and foreign enemies. Linmen, as long as I show that my Ming Dynasty is strong enough, their petty actions will stop, and I will be relieved."

Cao Wenzhao understood, and said, "Then, can I find someone to stand up for?"

Zhu Xu thought about it, and said: "The speed must be fast, the time must be short, and the results must be large, so as to have a deterrent effect."

Cao Wenzhao said: "Yes, I understand, I will consider it carefully, and choose carefully."

Zhu Xu nodded, turned to look at Hai Lanzhu and said, "Didn't you miss home before? Take Cixuan back, you can stay for a while."

Hai Lanzhu's eyes lit up, she quickly stood up, and said, "My concubine, thank the emperor."

She lost her daughter last year, was ill for half a year, and left Horqin for many years. Naturally, she was extremely homesick.

Zhu Xu said "Yes", and said: "By the way, I would like to invite Khan from Horqin, Zhu Taiji and others to Beijing as guests. I welcome them at any time."

"Yes." Hai Lanzhu said happily.

Zhu Xu waved his hand, looked at Cao Wenzhao and said, "Go and discuss with Sun Chengzong, Qin Liangyu, etc. to plan a specific route and a specific marching plan. It must be comprehensive and careful to minimize accidents."

Cao Wenzhao got up, knelt down on one knee, and said, "I obey the order!"

Chapter 1321 Family Dinner

Zhu Youjian entered the palace early the next morning, and the two brothers hadn't seen each other for many years.

One was standing on the high threshold of the Qianqing Palace, the other was wearing a prince's clothes, walking forward unhurriedly from a distance.

Both of them grew up in the Forbidden City, and they are very familiar with it, and too many things have happened there.

With one hand behind his back, Zhu Xu looked at Zhu Youjian who was approaching gradually, with calm eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth.

For so many years, his little guilt for snatching Zhu Youjian's throne has long since dissipated, and there are only monarchs and ministers brothers.

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Xu who was standing there, like a mountain that cannot be looked up to, his heart that had already been calm was once again turbulent, and too many past events flooded his heart at once.

Back then, when His Majesty the emperor was still King Hui, there were already traces of ignoring the patriarchal clan. Zhu Youjian conducted an investigation on this and told Tianqi that Empress Dowager Zhang had repeatedly sued.

But Apocalypse, Empress Dowager Zhang dotes on this person very much, and covers up many things.

What surprised him the most was why their elder brother, Emperor Tianqi, passed him on and passed on the throne to the sixth child. This was not in line with the family law of the ancestors.

However, there was not much trouble in the government and the public. His Royal Highness Prince Hui ascended the throne very smoothly, and vigorously cleaned the court. This process was shockingly smooth.

"If the situation is not upright, trust the king but not the king", this rumor is the biggest doubt about the current emperor, and the most powerful public opinion point of support for the government and the opposition against the "New Deal".

It's not that Zhu Youjian didn't think about it, but Zhu Xu's succession to the throne was heard by him and many ministers in front of Tianqi's hospital bed, so it can't be fake.

Zhu Youjian kept approaching, his boiling thoughts suddenly quieted down strangely in front of Zhu Xu, he raised his hand and said: "My subject, Zhu Youjian, sees the emperor, empress."

"Exemption!" Zhu Xu stepped forward, supported Zhu Youjian with a smile, and said, "We brothers don't have to be so polite, come, let's go, I've arranged a reception banquet for you."

Empress Zhang Yun stood beside Zhu Xu, smiling, and said, "Fifth Uncle, please."

Zhu Youjian was a serious person, thanked him, and followed Zhu Xu and his wife into Qianqing Palace.

In the side hall, Zhu Xu's daughters and sons, as well as Zhu Youjian's Princess Zhou, his son Zhu Cihong, Empress Dowager Zhang and Xiao Yongning.

Zhu Youjian didn't expect this, he raised his hand and said to Empress Dowager Zhang, "I've seen the emperor's wife."

Empress Dowager Zhang really hoped that the two brothers would be harmonious, she nodded and said, "They are all from my own family, so there is no need to be polite."

Several children, including Xiao Yongning, were relatively unfamiliar with this Uncle Xin Wang. Under Zhang Yun's gesture, they all raised their hands and said in a crisp voice: "I have seen Uncle Xin Wang."

Zhu Youjian was not used to such a scene, so he responded stiffly.

Zhang Yun stood beside Zhu Xu, looked at the group of people, and said with a smile: "Sit down, we are welcoming Uncle Wu today, and it is also a family banquet."

After hearing the words, Queen Mother Zhang also greeted her, and a group of people sat down.

Concubine Zhou sat next to King Xin, her face and heart were very disturbed, she was suddenly called by the empress.

Zhu Cihong looked very quiet, sitting on the side, looking at such a large group of people curiously.

Zhu Xu's children were all looking at Zhu Youjian.This fifth uncle is also a legendary figure, especially the three years of overseas overseas, which makes them full of interest.
