I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 161 Grab the little days first, then beat the third brother.

It's so impolite not to mess with Brother Asan after making a fool of himself.

When he was overseas, Zhu Zhangui wanted to take advantage of the civil strife between Ah San and him.

It's a pity that the troops in hand are not enough, coupled with Zheng He's earnest persuasion, Zhu Zhangui can only regret that he has no idea to hit Brother Ah San for the time being.

Now that he has returned to Daming, he has gained the trust of the old man and has power in his hands.

Zhu Zhangui is going to decide on this jewel in the queen's crown.

In the future, it will be the pearl of Ming Dynasty, the inherent territory of China.

"How many troops do you need?"

After confirming that he wants to take Ah San's territory, the old man must determine how many troops Zhu Zhangui will use.

After all, he had to fight three countries in a row, and the number of troops dispatched was small. He was afraid that Zhu Zhangui would not be able to take it down. If he was defeated again by then, it would be embarrassing.

Staring at the territory map of Xiaotian and Brother Asan, Zhu Zhangui pondered for a long time, and said the troops he needed.

"I need to expand the strength of the Ming Dynasty Navy to about 3 ships. I also need 7 marines and 15 army troops. The total strength is about [-]."

"Combined with civil servants and logistical issues, the number of troops and numbers to be used will be about 30!"

"30 million!"

Hearing this number, the old man frowned and thought about it.

Using such a large force, it is impossible to hide the truth from those big shots in the court.

Without the cooperation of the six parts, it would be a problem to supply Zhu Zhangui.

"You go back and prepare. Tomorrow I will gather people together. Let's discuss how to fight and what reason to fight."

Zhu Zhangui knew very well in his heart that if he lived alone, his pirate plan would be enough.

After all, I was just robbing money in the past, and I haven't planned to take over the territory of Little Days yet.

But Brother Ah San's side is different.

He intends to completely occupy Brother Asan's side, and then build it into a springboard for the Ming Dynasty, a supply base for the Ming army, and assist the Ming army to occupy a larger land.

Since he intends to occupy it for a long time, it is definitely not enough to rely on his strength alone.

So he needs the full help of the court.

If you want the court to help you with all your strength, you can't just talk to the old man.

Dad Zhu Pangpang's side, and the Sixth Department's side have to persuade them to fully support their plan.

There is no problem with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Accounting.

Lu Xin was promoted by Zhu Zhangui, and he was one of his own.

As long as that guy Natsuhara Kichi can fill the household, let alone beating a third brother, he will fully support him even if he goes to war with the whole world.

The ones that are more difficult to move are Lao Die and Yang Shiqi, who want to recuperate and recuperate.

"That's fine, I'll go back and prepare, and try to persuade them tomorrow. If it doesn't work, then I'll only attack the Wa country. The two countries will wait for a while!"

"Don't put too much pressure on you. Father and the others are not stubborn, as long as it can bring practical benefits to Daming, they will definitely agree!"

The old man was afraid that his grandson would think too much, so he patted his shoulder to persuade him.

Zhu Zhangui nodded, got up and was about to take his son back.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, put down my little grandson!"

"Grandpa, you've been carrying it for more than a month. I guess you're tired too. I'll take it home for a few days first!"

"You fart, let me put it down, you young people don't know how to take care of children, get out of here!"

Zhu Zhangui was kicked out by the old man in embarrassment.

Lie at the door and looked, seeing the little guy who was woken up because the two were talking, and was gently patted and coaxed by the old man in his arms, Zhu Zhangui felt helpless in his heart.

The next day, early in the morning.

Since he didn't know how long it would take to discuss important matters, the old man finally sent the child back to the East Palace.

Zhang, who finally saw his grandson, hugged his grandson in his arms, and then refused to let anyone touch him, and started playing with his grandson by himself.

Looking at the child being hugged by her mother-in-law, Zhao Linger felt very tired.

It seems that I am a delivery person.

Since the child was born, except for being by my side for the first month, I hardly saw the child for the rest of the day.

She wanted to take a look at the child, and ran to the East Palace.

Want to hug her, but Mrs. Zhang refuses.

Say that you young people don't know how to take care of children, so don't hurt my grandson with your hands and feet.

What is even more pitiful is the Grand Bachelor Baimaoge.

Since the little one was born, it has completely fallen out of favor.

Zhu Pangpang and Mrs. Zhang, who used to regard him as their own son, now despise it when they see it. They are afraid that this ignorant dog will hurt their grandson, and even plan to send it away.

Later, Hu Shanxiang felt sorry for it and took it in.

Otherwise, the majestic Baimaoge University Bachelor will live on the street and become a stray dog.

While there was harmony in the East Palace, the atmosphere in the Shang Study Room was extremely tense.

"No, I don't agree."

As soon as Zhu Zhangui talked about his plan to attack the Three Kingdoms, Zhu Pangpang stood up and shook his head in opposition.

The country had just finished the war, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about taking a good rest and watching his grandson live happily every day.

As a result, he hasn't enjoyed his life yet, and his father and his son are planning to fight other countries, and they still travel thousands of miles to fight two countries that are rarely heard of.

"Your Majesty, the country has finally stabilized after the war, and now we have to mobilize troops again. The people really can't bear it."

Ignoring Zhu Zhangui who wanted to explain, Zhu Pangpang turned to look at the old man, hoping that the old man would cancel the plan.

The old man looked at Zhu Pangpang, pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, then looked at the other senior officials.

"What do you say!"

Lu Xin, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to stand up for Zhu Zhangui's plan as he had the label of the Taisun Party on his forehead.

"Since His Royal Highness has proposed this plan, it means that the two countries have a reason to fight, and I agree with the plan to send troops."

The old man nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the others.

She kept looking at Zhu Zhangui Xia Yuanji with the expression of a resentful woman, and stretched out her hand to ask Zhu Zhangui.

"Your Highness, can I ask whether the attack on these two countries is for money or food!"

Seen by his eyes, Zhu Zhangui, who was a little unnatural, quickly explained: "The main thing is food, and they are also very rich."

Xia Yuanji's eyes lit up instantly, he slapped his thighs and stood up and said loudly.

"If you work hard, you have to fight. If His Royal Highness doesn't have enough troops, people from our household department can do it with a knife!"

Zhu Zhangui waved his hands quickly.

"No need, no need, the hands of the people in your household department, you should keep the hands of the abacus. For the matter of chopping people with knives, we Daming can't run out of people."

San Yang, who had been frowning and thinking, suddenly remembered something that Xia Yuanji had mentioned to them some time ago when he saw Xia Yuanji's reaction.

They vaguely remembered that Zhu Zhangui made an agreement with Xia Yuanji before going to Shandong.

Xia Yuanji prepared a batch of grain for Zhu Zhangui, and Zhu Zhangui returned him a mountain of silver and a place where three crops were grown a year.

Yang Shiqi got up and walked to the map, looked in the direction of India, frowned and thought: "If we want to fight here, it will be very difficult to send troops on land, so we need to launch an attack from the sea."

"But once we attack from the sea, the lines will be completely stretched."

"And the army is still isolated and helpless overseas. Once there is a problem with the logistics supply, we will not be able to save it if we want!"

"Hey, hey, Xueshi Yang, please stop for a moment!"

The more Zhu Pangpang listened, the more something was wrong. He started to think about the problems after the fight.

Aren't we discussing whether to fight or not? When did the topic move forward so quickly?

"Scholar Yang, what we are discussing is whether to fight or not, not after the fight begins."

Yang Shiqi froze for a moment, looked at everyone, then patted his forehead, shook his head with a smile and said.

"Just now I thought that Yuanji mentioned one thing, and ignored the things we want to discuss."

"fine!"

The old man waved his hand indifferently, looked at Sanyang and asked.

"Do you agree with this dispatch of troops?"

Looking at the map, Yang Shiqi pondered for a while, then asked Zhu Zhangui.

"For what reason does Your Highness plan to attack these two countries, and what benefits will it bring to our Daming?"

"There is an old saying that if the name is not right, the words will not go well. If we don't have a decent excuse and take them down, they will probably not accept it! More importantly, the surrounding foreign countries will also have a gap with us!"

Several other people, including the old man, nodded and began to frown and think about what reason to attack these two countries.

Zhu Zhangui looked at the crowd speechlessly.

This is reading is stupid.

Huaxia Kyushu is a state of etiquette. For the sake of their own reputation, they need reasons when attacking each other.

But the problem is the reason for asking farts.

The languages ​​of the two countries are different, and attacking other countries is nothing more than profit and territory.

The reason is that you can just find one at random.

At that time, a drill will be held outside their country's territory, and then they will make excuses that they have lost a soldier and have to go in to check.

If they dare to put it in, they will not leave.

If you dare not put it in, wouldn't there be a justifiable reason for the crusade?

It's not right to say the name.

I've already made an invasion, what more name do I need.

Even if they blow their own side to the sky, they don't understand the culture and meaning of it, isn't it the same as nothing.

Looking at the people staring at him, Zhu Zhangui replied helplessly.

"There is no reason. If I have to find one, it is because I have taken a fancy to their land, their food, their gems and minerals."

Looking up at the dumbfounded crowd, Zhu Zhangui spread his hands.

"It's that simple!"

Zhu Zhangui directly answered Yang Shiqi's two questions with one sentence.

I have no reason.

The good thing is that I have taken a fancy to their land, grain, gemstones and minerals.

"If we conquer other countries for no reason, wouldn't we be morally untenable? How will other countries treat our Ming Dynasty then?"

Zhu Pang's fat body was trembling. If he hadn't been in front of so many people, he would have slapped Zhu Zhangui long ago.

Listen, is this what the grandson of a country should say?

It's the face of a robber.

Alas, I also blame myself.

This kid didn't like reading before, and he didn't urge him after he came back. As a result, this kid has no benevolence and morality in his heart.

"Father, we are doing this for the sake of the entire country's strategy. I understand loyalty, propriety, wisdom and trust, but these are only for the people of Ming Dynasty, and for those countries that respect our Ming Dynasty very much."

"As those in power, what is our mission? Our mission is to let the people of Ming Dynasty live a good life, have enough food and clothing, and no longer suffer from the war."

"Attacking these two countries is of great benefit to us. As long as we take them down, we can solve our most urgent food problem."

Zhu Zhangui gestured while talking, explaining the benefits to Zhu Pangpang.

Zhu Pangpang waved his hands again and again.

"No, I don't agree. If we really want to do this, then how will other small countries treat our Ming Dynasty?"

"If it's beneficial, let's invade them. Who will dare to trust us in the future? What is the majesty of Daming?"

Zhu Zhangui also lost his temper and retorted loudly:
"Da Ming's majesty is certainly important, but you can't let the people of Daming go hungry for the sake of face."

"It's the same as living with two families. Our family is rich, and we eat meat and white noodles and steamed buns every day. You can't let the whole family give up these because of the envious words of the neighbors, and eat bran and swallow vegetables!"

"As long as the people of Ming Dynasty can live a good life, have enough food and clothing, provide for their old age, and support their children, so what if we bear these trivial gossips."

"As long as the people of Ming Dynasty are devoted to us, and as long as we have a strong military force in our hands, those foreign countries and vassal states will at most have had a good time with their mouths, and a few dare to stand up and point fingers."

Zhu Pangpang's temper was also pushed up, pointing at Zhu Zhangui, blushing with anger, and said roughly: "If we really follow your method, then the country and the country will not be angry, and then they will attack together, let The war broke out again, and the common people are in dire straits, so it’s too late for you to regret it.”

"Okay, shut up!"

Seeing that the father and son were arguing, the old man was afraid that there would be a gap between the father and son, so he quickly stopped them.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, I will never agree with this matter."

Zhu Pangpang took a few breaths, glared at Zhu Zhangui fiercely, and directly expressed his attitude.

The old man regretted it a little now.

If I knew the boss was like this, I shouldn't have called him over.

Discuss with the people below, and when the time comes, they all agree, even if the boss disagrees, so what.

At most, I will complain a few times, and I will still do the work that should be done.

"What do you think!"

The old man looked at Yang Shiqi and the others, wanting them to make a decision.

Yang Shiqi looked at the map, pinched his beard and thought for a long time, then asked Zhu Zhangui.

"If this place is taken down, can your Highness tell me how much it will benefit Daming!"

Zhu Zhangui replied after pondering for a moment: "If we can conquer here, half of the food problem of Ming Dynasty can be solved in the future."

In order to make his words more convincing, Zhu Zhangui decided to show it, making it an irresistible temptation for everyone.

"My lords, you may not know."

Pointing to the location of India, Zhu Zhangui looked at everyone and said seriously: "The area of ​​arable land in this place is the whole world, I mean the largest in all the world illuminated by solar energy! Our Ming Dynasty can't compare with them, and they It's still three years a year."

"hiss!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present gasped.

The area of ​​arable land is the largest in the world, and it is still cropped three times a year. How much grain should there be here?

Zhu Zhangui clenched his fists and continued to bewitch.

"More importantly, they are now in a period of war, which is the best time to take them down. And because of their beliefs, the people in the entire region are very servile."

"As long as we successfully occupy this place and use some means, this place will become our country and the biggest granary of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Once we use all these lands!"

Zhu Zhangui waved excitedly.

"After my Ming Dynasty, no one will starve to death, and I will never have to worry about lack of food."

There was an instant silence in Shangshu's room.

The old man's heart was beating wildly, and he fantasized about a future where everyone would have enough to eat.

If it is paired with a new study plan, then who else can stop Daming in the future.

Zhu Pangpang also fell into silence, constantly entangled in his heart.

On the one hand, it is the reputation of the country, and on the other hand, it is to make all the people have enough to eat.

Xia Yuanji, who is the Minister of the Household Department, has red eyes like rabbits.

He rushed forward a few steps, plopped and knelt down in front of the old man.

"Your Majesty, let's fight. Don't talk about using 10,000+ troops, even if you use 100 million, it's worth it."

Lu Xin also stepped forward and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please order to attack this place so that future generations can have enough food and clothing!"

Song Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, came out, "I also agree to attack this place!"

The main reason why he stood up was that he wanted to have a good relationship with Zhu Zhanguila.

Zhu Zhangui's craftsman camp has almost replaced the weapons supervisor of the Ministry of Industry.

As a boss of the Ministry of Industry, he is also more interested in this aspect, and he has long wanted to go in and have a look.

But the artisan camp is very strict, without Zhu Zhangui and the old man's warrant, let alone you, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, don't even think about going in when the prince comes.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to show his goodwill to Zhu Zhangui, and strive to put the artisan camp under the name of the Ministry of Industry in the future.

Three of the six ministers supported it.

The old man looked at the remaining few people, waiting for their choice.

Liu Guan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, noticed the old man's gaze, and clasped his hands to say his choice.

"I'm only in charge of the criminal law, and I don't know much about wars. But I still hope that the people of Ming Dynasty can have enough food and clothing, so I agree!"

Another one agreed.

"It is the greatest wish of a scholar to see the country open up and expand, and the people have enough food and clothing in their lifetime, and I agree with it!"

Jian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also expressed his agreement with a smile.

In the end, everyone looked at Yang Shiqi, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Er Yang, who did not express his opinion.

Looking at the eyes of everyone, Yang Shiqi pondered for a while, and asked Zhu Zhangui.

"How long does His Highness intend to end this war!"

Zhu Zhangui held out two fingers.

"Two years, a complete end to the war within two years."

"Two years!"

Yang Shiqi nodded.

"In that case, I will wait for His Highness for two years. If the war cannot be ended in two years, I will ask His Majesty to withdraw troops and return."

Following Yang Shiqi's nod, all six yamen of the imperial court agreed to launch this war.

Yang Rong and Yang Pu didn't say anything against it, and they all expressed their approval.

However, like Yang Shiqi's request, they must end the war within two years.

"Boss, do you have anything to say?"

Seeing that everyone agreed, the old man looked at Zhu Pangpang.

Zhu Pangpang smiled helplessly when he heard the words.

You have all discussed it, why do you still ask me?
I disagree, does my objection work?
"Since all the ministers have agreed, it would be a little ignorant for the son-in-law to object. However, the son-in-law can hope that the emperor will make a promise that if the war cannot be ended within two years, he will immediately withdraw his troops and stop the war! Our Daming really can't afford it. Already!"

The war against Ah San was finally settled.

All high-level officials of the imperial court raised their hands and passed, launching a war against the three kingdoms of Afghanistan.

As for the reason, let Taisun make it up by himself.

Anyway, the imperial court only sent troops and made logistical supplies, and they didn't care about the rest, as long as the final territory and results were reached.

As for the sea ban stipulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, no one even mentioned it.

The old man has sent the fleet to the end of the world, and the sea ban is still a fart.

As for Zhu Zhangui's plan for the Wa Kingdom, he didn't say a word.

Anyway, it's just a casual robbery, and it's not a big deal. There's no need to stir up a lot of people. I guess everyone is not very interested in it, so don't mention it.
