How to send troops to the Japanese country, and how to implement the follow-up mining operations of the armies, these days have been perfected in the station.

Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, already confident: "Grandpa's strategy is still the first priority. Now I, the Ming Dynasty, am slowly plotting against the Japanese country and attacking steadily."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, his eyes indicating to Zhu Yunxi to continue.

"Nowadays, our court is mobilized every year by the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty on the grassland, which consumes half of the energy of the court. The armies and horses of Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places are also preparing to conquer the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

"Under such circumstances, the Ming Dynasty had very little energy left to devote to the situation in Japan."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked deeply and said: "So you use Li Jinglong and let him take charge of Japanese affairs."

"Grandpa Hui, it's true." Zhu Yunxi explained: "Cao Guogong has no experience in military formations, but he can't fault anything in his conduct and treatment of people and things. Now our Ming army has set foot in the Japanese country to stabilize the situation.

Open up financial resources for our dynasty. Cao Guogong is very suitable to move between the northern and southern dynasties of Japan."

The Ming Dynasty currently does not have the ability to start a war on two fronts, let alone continuously transport troops across the sea to organize a war far away from the Central Plains.

Letting the northern and southern dynasties of Japan compete with each other while maintaining the confrontation between the north and the south is what the Ming Dynasty hopes to see most.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement and said: "Jiujiang is a good candidate. There is a guard stationed in the Japanese country. As long as he chooses a deputy general for him, he will be safe."

There are more than 5,000 people in one bathroom.

This is the maximum that the imperial court can send after Zhu Yunxi's calculation.

It's not that the imperial court didn't have troops and horses, but that the imperial court could only transport so many people through Shandong Road and Lee's Joseon Kingdom to maintain the existence of so many people.

Zhu Yunxi took over the words and said: "One guard of troops and horses is enough to make the Northern Dynasty of Japan fearful, and it can also ensure the safety of our country in the territory of Japan. The rest is to organize the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, and to coordinate with Li's North Korea to recruit people to go to Japan.

Mining silver."

Zhu Yuanzhang rehearsed the situation in his mind and asked, "Do you have any ideas about Jiujiang's deputy?"

Zhu Yunxi frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "On the military battlefield, Sun'er thinks that Heqing Hou Zhang Yi is worthy of a big job."

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied smile on his face.

He nodded and looked at his good grandson and praised: "Zhang Yi has joined the army with his father since he was a child. He followed our family all the way from Fengyang. He dares to fight and fight hard in the military formation, but what is even more valuable is that he holds the army.

Steady. With him here, I don’t think there will be any big changes in the military formation.”

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "My grandson thought the same way, so I fell in love with him."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted twice: "I am becoming more and more accurate in judging people. Let's talk about who else in the court you like to send to the Japanese country."

What I had never said in my heart was revealed by the old man.

Zhu Yunxi smiled awkwardly and said hesitantly: "My grandson intends to let Wenhua Palace walk, and Zhong Tiexuan, the director of the Ceremony Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, will go to the Japanese country."

The Ministry of Etiquette is very good.

Tie Xuan is his ideal candidate for Minister of War.

Go to the Japanese country, stay for a few years, accumulate merits, and return to the court. By then Rujun will probably have retired, and Tiexuan will naturally be able to take advantage of the situation and gain a title and take charge of the military affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.

This choice was something he didn't expect.

"Tie Xuan, Xie Jin, and Xia Yuanji are all people your boy values, how can you be so willing to send them to Japan?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "Since I am the son of the Han family and an official of the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether I am willing to give up or not. If he is suitable for this position, my grandson will choose him first."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly chuckled and looked helplessly at his good grandson who was becoming more and more thoughtful.

"You are interested in the position of Minister of War, right?"

At this time, Prince Zhu Biao, who had never spoken a word, opened his mouth quietly and looked at his son with a dull look.

Zhu Yuanzhang also stopped laughing and looked at his good grandson with a funny look.

Zhu Yunxi was exposed by his father and smiled helplessly: "My son just thinks it's appropriate..."

Zhu Biao smiled silently, shook his head and said: "The kindness comes from the superior, thunder and rain, and all ministers receive it. You are the king, and Tie Xuan is the minister. What he wants, he has to earn it himself and make achievements." I come to you again to ask for a title. If I don’t go through hardships and dangers, how can I know that it is rare to have an official rank in the court?”

Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, but before he could explain.

The old man behind him already agreed: "You are right, no one can pave the way for the ministers from scratch. The more important someone is, the more they will beat him. This time, my grandfather asked him to go to the Japanese country, but this time There will never be a next time when you pave the way for your ministers."

Listen to the old man and dad’s warning.

Zhu Yunxi woke up suddenly and only then did he react.

There was also a look of solemn worry on his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his darling grandson's embarrassment and kicked his butt: "Pass the order, tell everything that needs to be explained, and let Jiujiang set off with the Japanese envoys on a certain day."

Zhu Yunxi got a kick on the butt.

He put his hand on his butt, responded, got up on the ground and walked out.

As soon as I walked out of the palace gate, I saw Zhao Mian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, Liu Sanwu, the Secretary of the Zhongshu House, and several censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"I see you, the Emperor's grandson."

Zhao Mian, Liu Sanwu and others looked at the emperor's grandson who happened to come out of the palace and bowed.

Zhu Yunxi stopped and looked at the people: "You are entering the palace at this time, but there are state affairs going on?"

Liu Sanwu was about to speak, but Zhao Mian at the side beat him to it.

There was a hint of hesitation and embarrassment in Zhao Mian's eyes, and he said softly: "There are a few things in the court that I need to report to Your Majesty before we can proceed."

"Oh?"

These people obviously want to cause trouble.

Zhu Yunxi turned around and went back into the hall: "Guys, please follow me to see grandpa."

He didn't give these people a chance to refuse and explain, and walked straight into the hall.

Liu Sanwu looked a little anxious.

Zhao Mian appeared calmer, turned to signal to everyone, and whispered to Liu Sanwu: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, you should be steady at this time!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Liu Sanwu took a deep breath, nodded, and followed Zhao Mian, who had already taken the lead, into the hall.

Inside the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunxi who had left and returned, with curiosity and amusement on his face: "Why, he came back so soon."

Zhu Yunxi laughed dryly and said: "Back to grandpa, as soon as my grandson went out, he ran into Zhao Shangshu and Liu Sheren, who came with several censors to have an audience."

I didn’t summon Zhao Mian, Liu Sanwu and the others today.

A trace of suspicion flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and his face soon calmed down. He leaned on the table and stared blankly at the few people who had arrived outside the side hall.

"I have something to report to Your Majesty."

Zhao Mian and others stood bowed outside the side hall and spoke in unison.

Sun Gou'er, who was serving the emperor, glanced at the old man's face and took two steps forward: "Come in."

Zhao Mian and others bowed and stepped into the side hall, all the way to the emperor.

Several people raised their heads and saw that the emperor's grandson, who seemed to be preparing to leave the palace just now, was already sitting cross-legged next to the emperor, carefully pouring tea for the old man.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes and looked at a few people, showing a slight smile: "What do you want to tell me?"

Liu Sanwu turned to look at Zhao Mian.

The Minister of Revenue returned a look, then took a step forward, bowed and raised his hands high.

"Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is going to war again?"

Zhu Yunxi, who was pouring tea for the old man, couldn't help but stop holding the teapot for a moment, then gently put the teapot down, and turned his head to look at Zhao Mian.

Zhu Yuanzhang whispered: "Oh? How did Zhao Shangshu know that we are going to use troops?"

Aren’t you asking knowingly?

Zhao Mian cursed in his heart and said more carefully: "I live in the household department, and I am familiar with the money and grain in the court, and the local warehouses. Recently, all the warehouses in Yingtian have shipped money, grain, ordnance to the Longjiang Shipyard. The guards of the Beijing army are also in charge.

Under the coordination of the government, troops and horses are frequently dispatched to the Longjiang Shipyard. If I don’t know that Your Majesty wants to use troops, I will be ashamed of Your Majesty asking me to take charge of the household department."

The emperor's habit is very bad.

Although emperors have always been domineering in the past, the use of military conquests by the country has always been discussed in the court, and all ministries and departments also coordinate to work together.

At this moment, the old emperor actually bypassed the court, obviously keeping a low profile, which made Zhao Mian, Liu Sanwu and others very worried.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly: "It's just mobilizing troops and horses and coordinating the garrison. It's not a big deal."

Liu Sanwu responded and said: "Your Majesty, are you going to use troops against the Japanese state? This time the envoys of the Japanese state and the Northern Dynasty acted arrogantly and disrespected the court. I even heard that many corpses were transported out of the post house yesterday."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man, and then looked at Liu Sanwu.

"Liu Sheren, do you have any opinions on His Majesty's decree?"

This group of civil servants probably felt that the Central Plains court should not engage in wars all day long, let alone fight without declaring it.

Zhu Yuanzhang also stared at the old man with a faint look.
