Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Zhu Youzheng spent all his time waiting for their arrival in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Jiamo had the oldest qualifications, and he began to advise the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the old minister went to see the artillery test today. It's great. The cost of this new type of artillery is lower than that of the Hongyi Cannon, which saves materials, saves money, and is easy to move. It fires shells much faster than the Hongyi Cannon. It's beyond the expectations of the veterans. I just heard that His Majesty has plans to go on a personal conquest?"

Zhou Jiamo laid so much groundwork in front of him, just so that the little emperor would not be disgusted.The little emperor's temperament is a bit like his grandfather's, and he has big ideas.They still remember Shenzong's 30-year renunciation even if they didn't agree with each other.

"Yes, I have such a plan. I am determined to follow the example of Tai/Zu, drive the aliens out of the land of the Han people, and give the Han people a place to live and work in peace."

This ambition is ambitious enough, but it cannot be said to be bad.Oops, but as soon as you come up, you move out of your ancestors. How can you stop other people's children from imitating their ancestors?Alas, I knew that the little emperor was not easy to persuade.

Zhu Youxiao saw that Wei Chao delivered the hot ginger tea prepared by the emperor's order, and cups of ginger tea, to the ministers present.Smiling, he said to Zhou Jiamo: "Zhou Qing, warm up first, warm up, sit down and talk slowly."

It's not easy for the old man, he is still working for Daming in his 70s.

Zhou Jiamo was supported by Wei Chao to sit down, and then a cup of hot ginger tea was stuffed into his hand, and Wei Chao specially placed a brazier in front of him.But Zhou Jiamo's heart, ever since he heard that the emperor wanted to drive his own conquest, was like rolling in hot oil.

"Your Majesty, when the strength of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that of Yingzong, the danger of His Majesty's personal conquest is too great."

"Zhou Qing, the emperor guards the gate of the country. I am afraid that the danger will not come out. Let the soldiers risk their lives being harvested by the slaves. What face do I have to be supported by the people of the world?"

Zhou Jiamo discussed things with Zhu Youxiao, and basically they fought repeatedly, and in the end most of them wanted to do things according to the emperor's wishes.Ye Xianggao had figured out this pattern long ago.Zhou Jiamo can't be counted on, Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant, can't be counted on either, and Huang Kezuan and Xu Guangqi must have known that the emperor will personally conquer... Ye Xianggao set his sights on Sun Ruyou and Gongnai.

Ye Xianggao's meaning is obvious: you two are the emperor's teacher and also belong to the Ministry of Rites, so you should use etiquette to suppress each other.

Sun Ruyou received Ye Xianggao's wink, got up and said to Zhu Youxiao, "It's not suitable for your majesty to go on a personal expedition now."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty, there is no crown prince in the imperial court yet. Once the royal conquest is accidental, wouldn't it cause turmoil in the country! The so-called unfilialism has three major consequences. Your majesty should wait until you have a prince before mentioning the imperial conquest."

Zhu Youxiao sighed: "Sun Qing, Yingzong was deeply involved in Tatars at that time, and he was not succeeded by the prince. Wulang is one year older in the new year, and he has already been enlightened, so he is better than the prince who doesn't know where he is. Reliable. Do you think so?"

Gong Nai disapproved of Zhu Youxiao's personal conquest, but his reasons were the same as Zhou Jiamo's.He held back for a long time before he said: "Da Ming passed away two emperors in succession, and cannot bear His Majesty's further loss. Otherwise, the people's hearts will be in turmoil, and His Majesty's efforts to achieve success may be in vain. From Daming's In the long run, as long as His Majesty insists on fortifying the wall and clearing the country, the strategy of building slaves will be effective, and the threat of eliminating slaves will be just around the corner.”

"If Jiannu wins Shenyang and Liaoyang, Liaodong will basically be lost. There is no place to rely on outside the pass. Entering can be used as a base to harass Jiannu's farming, and retreating can be used as an outpost to attack Jiannu. With Liaodong, do you think that by this time next year, Jiannu will not go south and be imprisoned?"

Gong Nai was stunned, Jiannu's appetite was getting bigger and bigger. When he was teaching the emperor to read every day, the monarch and his ministers had discussed Liaodong's military form and possible fate more than once, and the important strategic significance of Shenyang and Liaoyang to Ming Dynasty. He understands the effectiveness of the emperor's plan to fortify the wall and clear the country this winter.Once Jiannu can farm in the next spring, maybe next autumn, Jiannu will really be closed.

Cui Jingrong stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Shanhai Pass is enough to stop Jiannu."

"Cui Qing, do you want to lose the 29 guards among the millions of people in Liaodong?"

How could Cui Jingrong dare to answer such a question, "Your Majesty, when the Ming army is strong, we will definitely be able to retrieve Nuer Gandusi."

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and sighed, "Now in Liaoyang City, there are quite a few big households who are causing trouble for Jiannu and internal traitors. If Jiannu has won the Shenyang capital camp for two years, can we still trust the people of Shenyang like we do now?"

If the people of Shenyang heard this, they would definitely spit.Since the establishment of slave siege, the government has not allowed people to go to the streets.It’s okay not to go shopping, but if someone in the family is sick and wants to have a baby, do you have to hire a doctor or a steady wife?

Fortunately, Zhou Yongchun lenient in the end and allowed the people to go out to invite doctors and women, but he also demarcated the area, and they are not allowed to run around in Shenyang City.

Cui Jingrong, as Minister of the Ministry of War, had to answer the emperor's question. He coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty wants to stabilize the people's hearts in Liaodong, and it is a good idea to conquest yourself. But in the battle of Saerhu, our Ming Dynasty gathered 10 horses, and North Korea More than 3 people were sent out, but they failed to restrain Jiannu. Now the imperial army is only enough to guard the capital, and there are not many soldiers drawn from the guards. There are also soldiers who have to be trained. It can be used by the soldiers who go to war."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, then turned to ask the British Duke.

"British Lord, how many soldiers can the imperial guards in the capital have to fight? Those who are old, young, sick, disabled, and noble children are not counted."

The British Duke was taken aback, according to His Majesty's standard, it was one out of five or even two.

He answered a conservative number, "It should be around 20."

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while and said: "Yu Qian had only 5 old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to defend the city. I don't need to bring so many strong and strong soldiers to the battle, [-] people are enough."

Zhou Jiamo immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Yingzong brought 50 people with him at that time."

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Because there are 50 people, the logistics supply is not enough, and the food and drink of the soldiers are problematic, so the Tatars found an opportunity to take advantage of it when they moved the army. What I want to bring is 5 people, Xiong Tingbi has more than [-] soldiers under his command."

"But, Your Majesty, Xiong Jinglue and those soldiers are going to defend the city."

"I only recruited the [-] Imperial Guards that I sent as reinforcements in the past two months, well, at most some soldiers with good immediate skills will be recruited, but the total number will not exceed [-].

With the blessing of new artillery, these troops are enough.Don't worry, after I take back Fushun, Tieling, Kaikai and other places, I will return with the Imperial Forest Army.Leave the rest to…”

The emperor's eyes moved back and forth on the faces of Cui Jingrong, Yinggong, Dingguo, and the British prince, and finally sighed and said: "At that time, we will talk about who will hand over the army and continue going north."

The old minister in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was dumbfounded by the overconfident words of the emperor. Was Jiannu made of mud?You are also counting on what will happen after Fushun.

Zhu Youxiao ignored their thousands of worries, and only continued according to his own thoughts: "You have only seen the power of the new artillery. If I carry five hundred artillery pieces, I will pour ten thousand shells into the cavalry of Jiannu in an instant. , Do you still use swords and guns with Jiannu to judge victory or defeat?"

After watching the artillery test firing just now, all the ministers knew that what the little emperor said was right.That's the thing, but it wouldn't be so wonderful for the little emperor to go to the conquest.

Ding Guogong stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I request you to lead the army to go out."

Everyone looked at Ding Guogong and then at British Duke. Under the pressure of everyone watching, the British Duke had no choice but to stand up and say: "I have asked His Majesty for orders yesterday, but today I am willing to issue a military order with the hereditary title of the British Duke. Wan Dajun's five hundred cannons smashed Jiannu."

The words of the British public are serious.The civil servants immediately looked at Zhang Weixian, admiring in their hearts how well he did.

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to signal the two Dukes to sit back.

"As for me, I want to be a king who opens up the territory, so that there will be no more threats from the north in one fell swoop. You two are the leaders of the army, and you know that this new type of artillery will surely realize my wish. But do you have the nerve to compete with me for this one and only chance to go down in history? Back then, "Great General Zhu Shou of Weiyuan" made great achievements, and you don't want me to take a hundred and eighty riders to Liaodong."

Ruined.Zhou Jiamo wailed in his heart, he was afraid of something.He also ignored his image, and immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty should follow the example of the Ming army, how could he have the idea of ​​going to Liaodong in private."

"That's why I discussed with you a proper, feasible method that you can rest assured, and go to Liaodong to make contributions in an open and honest manner."

Seeing that the emperor mentioned Weiyuan General Zhu Shou, everyone fell silent.Using him as a reference point, the little emperor in front of him was able to build a new type of artillery first, and let the officials see the effect of the test firing, and then revealed that he wanted to conscript himself, ahem, ahem, it is barely reliable.Is it foresight?

Seeing that no one spoke, the British public knew that the precedent of "Weiyuan General Zhu Shou" had deterred these civil servants, and everyone acquiesced in the matter of the emperor's personal conquest.

Alas, I know that none of the old Zhu's family is good.

So he took out the note he had prepared from his sleeve, and said to the emperor with a sullen face: "Your Majesty wants to conquer in person, and the minister and the dog have not slept at midnight. I think the following things should be prepared first."

Then the British Duke continued to read it cracklingly, and it took half a moment to finish reading the things that should be prepared.Everyone, including Zhu Youxue, was a little dumbfounded to hear that, with such a complete statement, did it really be known yesterday that His Majesty is going to personally conscript?

What Zhu Youxiao thought in his heart was that you British father and son can do it!

When the Duke of England finished reading, Fang Congzhe stood up and bowed to the Duke of England regardless of what others thought.

"British officials and old ministers are worthy of being appointed as Minister of Anbang Guming for the second time by the Temple and Guangmiao. The son also thinks far-reaching about the country, and he is worshiped by the old man."

The Duke of England and his son hurriedly returned the gift with Fang Congzhe.

The British Duke's statement can be regarded as a matter of the emperor's personal conquest, and he has basically considered all aspects.Cui Jingrong stretched out his hand to ask for the British Duke's statement, read it carefully and resignedly said: "If everyone has no objection, then we will prepare according to this."

The author has something to say: Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Houzhao proclaimed himself the Great General of Weiyuan and also took the pseudonym Zhu Shou, cough cough cough, these emperors of the Ming Dynasty
