Only then did Wu Laosan nod slightly, and said: "Okay, let's write letters separately, remember, it must be secret, without me, we must not stand out, and we will attack when Jingzheng makes a move!"

Boss Wu and Second Wu both nodded and stood up solemnly.

The Wu family was struggling to make a decision, and the whole Yingtian Mansion was immersed in a strange atmosphere. On the one hand, the emperor was pressing down like a mountain, and on the other hand, the wave of "strike" in Yingtian Mansion could no longer stop the car.

Countless people are watching and worrying.

With the popularization of newspapers in various places and the implementation of the "New Deal" gradually, many people have a preliminary idea of ​​Zhu Xu, that is - desperate innovation!

The innovative one has no scruples, no fear, there is nothing he dares to do and cannot do!

The scale of the "strike" in Southern Zhili is so large that it has spread all over the country. It must have angered the emperor. Will it be like the Northern Zhili, where large-scale arrests and house raids will be made?

Too many people are upset because there is no escape!

Zhu Xu stayed in the small building of sisters Hai Lanzhu and worked in the lobby, and the playbooks from all over the place were passed on.

He turned the pages quietly, marking a few words from time to time.

Following the great earthquake in Shaanxi, there were also successive earthquakes near Gansu and Sichuan. Although the land was sparsely populated, the losses were still serious.

This year's taxes and grains in the six southwestern provinces have been preliminarily calculated, and it is estimated to be less than 300 million shi. For the disaster situation, it is a drop in the bucket, and the court still needs continuous blood transfusions.

Although the scale of immigration is expanding and speeding up, it has not alleviated the civil unrest in various places, and it still keeps coming and going without stopping.However, they are all bits and pieces, not a big climate, and generally stable.

The provinces in the Central Plains are quite worry-free, and they basically have a surplus financially. Although there are many difficulties for the "New Deal", they still try their best to move forward under tremendous pressure, and they have made some moves.

"Hehe, it's finally here."

Zhu Xu looked at the playbook in his hand, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Tell Bumbutai to come down."

Cao Huachun stood not far away, answered "Yes", turned around and went upstairs.

Although Cao Huachun didn't like these two barbarian women, they were both emperor's women after all, and they would be nobles in the palace in the future. He invited Bumbutai down without being humble or arrogant.

Since finishing lunch, Bumbutai has been hiding in his room, not daring to see Hai Lanzhu, and Hai Lanzhu never came out, so it must be a little embarrassing.

When Bumbutai was called out by Cao Huachun, he was flustered at first, but when he saw Zhu Xu downstairs, his eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but move faster.

Bumbutai tried his best to suppress his unusualness, and said calmly as usual: "See the emperor."

Zhu Xu pushed the playbook in his hand and said, "The playbook is here."

Bumbutai's heart beat faster, he picked up the notebook and turned it up, he breathed a sigh of relief after a while, and saluted again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Zhu Xu laughed, but he was actually relieved.

This is the memorandum written by the cabinet and Liaodong Prime Minister Sun Chuanting. It talks about many things, but for Bumbutai, there is only one sentence that is most important: Chahar compromised and never invaded Horqin. Rule the desert!

Chapter 688 Draw a Circle

Lin Danhan's head didn't have a fever, but if he really wanted to, the cavalry that Zhu Xu had worked so hard to train for many years would die in the desert.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty will no longer be able to interfere in the desert, and the desert will be in chaos. The Ming Dynasty will have to be distracted from dealing with the north and rebuilding the Great Wall border defense.

In short, if the desert is in chaos, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to stop, and it will be impossible to concentrate on handling internal affairs.

Fortunately, Lin Danhan is still calm and not impulsive.

Zhu Xu waved his hand, waved Bumbutai back, looked at the melody in his hand, and slowly figured it out.

Horqin is now the meat on the chopping board, and can only be manipulated by him. Tainingwei is enough to control Horqin. With Horqin's reason for probing into the desert, it is logical for the Ming Dynasty to intervene in the desert in the future, or even annex it as a whole.

The only trouble is Chahar. Although Chahar is not very strong, it is not easy to completely cut off. Relying on Mangui's Tiger Wolf Guard is not enough for the time being, and it will take time.

"I'm not in a hurry, I have plenty of time..." Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled.

The matter in the north completely relieved him, and he could shift his energy away from the north.

Thinking of this, he changed his mind, asked Cao Huachun to bring a map, and drew a charcoal pencil on the map, talking softly to himself.

"Vladivostok...the Raksha people haven't come yet, so it's fine for the time being. The country of Wa...doesn't need to be moved for the time being. Ryukyu...Ryukyu, um, I have to have a good talk with King Shangfeng...the country of Wa will be annexed in the future, from north to south , is indeed an excellent defensive island chain... Well, the Navy must continue to expand its military..."

Standing beside Zhu Xu, Cao Huachun listened to his words. Although he didn't understand everything clearly, he understood in his heart that the emperor was constructing a magnificent map of mountains and rivers for Ming Dynasty. There is no one before or after!

His expression became more and more serious, and he listened carefully, silently remembering it in his heart.

The charcoal pencil in Zhu Xu's hand landed on Taiwan Island from north to south. The location here is very important, especially since the Dutch are still eyeing it.

"What's the news from the red-haired man?" Zhu Xu stood up and stared at the huge Nankaidao.

Cao Huachun took a step forward, and said: "The news from Jinyiwei said that the red-haired man and the Frangji man have eased up recently, and there is no previous dispute. In addition, there is news from the Malacca side that there seems to be some More warships coming in."

Zhu Xu raised his brows, his expression darkened, and said: "Find out all the information and memorabilia."

"Yes!" Cao Huachun replied, then turned his head and ordered the inner prison not far away to prepare.

Not long after, a large plate of playbooks and secret letters were brought over, and Zhu Xu sat down and picked them up again.

Not long after, Zhu Xu snorted coldly and said: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different! This Frangji is short-sighted and hopeless!"

He has already seen from the clues of these intelligences that the Dutch and the Spaniards should form an alliance and are ready to deal with Daming together!

Zhu Xu took a deep breath, didn't bother to look any further, and said directly, "How many warships does the navy have at present?"

Cao Huachun had already heard the taste from Zhu Xu's words, and said with a slight frown, "Return to the emperor, there are eighty ships in the establishment, and there are hundreds of others."

There was a cold light in Zhu Xu's eyes. The Dutch had more than 30 warships in the South China Sea, all of which were elite ships, and the Spaniards were similar. In other words, on the warships, the most important thing was the artillery.

At this point, Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Daming's artillery has a longer range and greater power than the Dutchman's. What's more, it has the home court advantage!

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xu looked up to the south, his eyes flickering.

The Dutch obviously also felt the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and they seemed to want to solve it all at once. They were dispatching troops and mobilizing nearby warships, which might be much stronger than in history.

Zhu Xu couldn't be at peace, he couldn't feel at ease if he didn't see it with his own eyes, but he was afraid that laymen would guide experts, so he pondered and said: "Then pass the decree to Xiong Wencan, the king of Tang, we must make good use of the advantages of the location, we must be good at using all the advantages, we can't Reckless, you must have tactics, strategy, in short, this battle must be won!"

Cao Huachun could hear the unrest in Zhu Xu's voice, and said with a serious expression, "Observe the order!"

Zhu Xu rubbed the center of his brows, he was delayed in Nanzhili for too long, so he had to go south as soon as possible.The Dutchman didn't know when the war would start, he had to get there as soon as possible.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Zhu Xu continued to look at the playbook.

Beizhili has been gradually stabilized. Governor Chen Qiyu and governor Chen Xinjia are doing their best to promote the "New Deal" plan, but it has achieved some results. Judging from Chen Qiyu's memorabilia, Beizhili has not encountered any obstacles and is going smoothly.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, finally there was something that made him feel gratified.

After looking at the memorials one after another, Zhu Xu raised his head until his shoulders were so sore, and found that it was already dark, and his eyes were blocked by two black circles, and his head felt dizzy for a while.
