Chapter 786: Sending troops?

Yuan Chonghuan continued to be ashamed. Although he had tried hard to make plans according to the emperor's ideas, he still criticized the emperor too many people.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and your Majesty's words are reasonable..." Yuan Chonghuan could only nod and said yes.

"...To control the huge Japan with the smallest military force, we must pay attention to skills, provoke discord, and suppress the prestige of the Japanese shogunate. These are all necessary. Only when Japan continues to turmoil, our dynasty can take the opportunity to act. After all, Japan is too far away from our dynasty. With the current number of months or even a year of twists and turns, it is really unwise to fight against the entire Japan..." Yang Jingwei said.

To be honest, Yang Jing had long wanted to use force against Japan. Unfortunately, in the era of transportation in the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty was really backward, the entire Ming Dynasty basically had a dark eye on Japan, and even didn't know what the name of the shogun was. It took Yang Jing one or two years to find out the basic situation of Japan. Only now, relying on his own investment at all costs, did the Ming Dynasty's intelligence on Japan gradually establish and gain a general understanding.

Yang Jing was patient and then he pressed his desire to conquer Japan. He could only make a small fuss against Japan, expel the Japanese in Ryukyu, find some trouble, and if he really wanted to start a full war with the Japanese shogunate, he still had to wait for the opportunity. Yang Jing was no longer a novice who had just traveled over, and knew what he should do and what he should not do. He was talking wildly about using force against a certain country for the sake of passion. Such an emperor could only be called a foolish monarch. It was unwise to say these things without sufficient ability and interests.

"...Your Majesty's words are reasonable, Your Majesty's words are reasonable..." Yuan Chonghuan had only this sentence. Although he was embarrassed by the emperor, he felt sweet and he was getting more and more happy...

"... Let's talk about the Satsuma clan that invaded the Ryukyu Kingdom. In fact, I think this is an opportunity..." Yang Jie pointed to the island on the platform and said.

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Yuan Chonghuan asked. Although he looked like he was taught on the surface, he was very happy in his heart.

"...The Qing family is also a governor in Liaodong, and they also know what the Imperial Army is doing, right?" Yang Jie said.

"...Your Majesty means to defeat the Satsuma clan first, and then gather the Satsuma clan as our dynasty's maritime "Imperial Army" to fight the Japanese? Our dynasty only sent a small number of elite troops to suppress them?" Yuan Chonghuan said happily. Speaking of this, if you still can't hear the emperor's meaning, Yuan Chonghuan could find a piece of tofu to kill him. The emperor is telling him how to fight Japan!

"Yes, the one who knows the Mongols the most is the Mongols, and the one who knows the most is the Japanese, naturally the Japanese... On the grassland, they rely on four-legged horses to fight, and on the sea, they rely on ships and warships. In fact, in addition to some special differences such as geography and transportation methods, I think that the practice of the Imperial Army outside the pass can be completely applied to deal with the Japanese, but it is just a change of skin..." Yang Jinge said.

"...In fact, the core of controlling the Japanese and Mongols is the same. The control of the Mongolians is to give the Imperial Army special trade privileges. Naturally, giving the Imperial Army to the Imperial Army is also this thing, just changing the name and adapting to it..."

"... Speaking of which, the Japanese Imperial Army may not be the only one of the Satsuma clans. You can find a few more Imperial Army. After all, the sea and the ground are different... This Satsuma clan is said to be very poor. If you give me some sweetness, you will be willing to sell yourself..."

"... After mastering several Imperial Army troops like the Satsuma vassal, then provoking the civil unrest in Japan, allowing the Japanese to leave hatred to the Imperial Army and the Japanese themselves, I just want to make profits from it. This is the right way to conquer Japan..." Yang Jing briefly said his own way.

Yang Jie himself knew that he had been following the desire to conquer Japan and had been planning a conquest plan for Japan. Unfortunately, he had never found a suitable opportunity. The transportation in this era was too backward. Faced with several months or even a year of information exchange, Yang Jie would never dare to use force lightly before he was fully prepared. After so long, the news was confirmed one by one. The situation was almost done. He met Yuan Chonghuan, who liked to jump and could not sit still. The war outside the pass was decided again, and the domestic affairs were almost settled. Yang Jie felt that he could try to use force against Japan. This kind of force was completely different from the previous acceptance of Zheng Zhilong's trade and drove away the Japanese. It was considered a battle of the country. The resources and strength consumed were definitely not comparable to the former.

Yuan Chonghuan was simply ecstatic. Isn’t it because the emperor gave him a familiar strategy? It’s because the emperor almost agreed to fight Japan? Yuan Chonghuan has been tortured by such idle days for several months. If he could find a place to fight a war, he would rather not be the position of the Minister of War.

"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!" Yuan Chonghuan shouted ecstatically. He could finally bypass Sun Chengzong. He thought that Sun Chengzong would be in charge of the battles of thousands of miles away from the border and would no longer have the energy to take care of the affairs of the East. This time, it was finally his turn to show his skills.

"...Hahaha, where is my wise man?" Yang Jing asked with a smile. Looking at the ecstatic Yuan Chonghuan, Yang Jing also felt something interesting. Although Yuan Chonghuan was very stunned and crazy, he also had a bit of true nature.

"...Why is Your Majesty trying to make things difficult for me? Your Majesty's mystery... Could it be that he wants to use force against Japan..." Yuan Chonghuan said awkwardly.

"...Oh, hehe, I want to use force against Japan. How happy is your family?" Yang Jing said dismissively.

".........This, Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to pacify Japan..." Yuan Chonghuan was indeed a very stunned person. He immediately fell to the ground and said this.

...

The platform is very quiet...

Everyone on the platform looked at Yuan Chonghuan, the Minister of War, and gave up his position as Minister of War to pacify Japan. Is Yuan Chonghuan, the Ministry of War crazy?

Yang Jingwei looked at Yuan Chonghuan with emotion.

This person's nature is indeed difficult to change. If it were someone else, he would never stand up so stupidly and say this. Perhaps it was the insidious Yuan Chonghuan who could say this and do this. Compared with his great deception and courage in Ping Liao in the past five years, Yang Jingwei could understand Yuan Chonghuan very well.

Time seems to be still.

...

for a long time.

"Get up, let's talk about this later..." Yang Jing told the truth, and also made Yuan Chonghuan lose his temper. He didn't want to be the position of Minister of War and would rather lead troops to pacify Japan. What a grudge against Japan! No, what a lord that can be troubled!

"... Please help your Majesty..." Yuan Chonghuan continued to kneel down, stunningly unwilling to agree.

"I can't easily draw a conclusion about this matter. At this time, I promised the Qing family, isn't it difficult for me?" Yang Jing said, but this is the truth. Even Yang Jing did not dare to agree to Yuan Chonghuan to lead his troops to fight in advance.

"...Yes..." Yuan Chonghuan then got a little reluctantly, his eyes were almost full of fanaticism.

"This is because the Qing family is making things difficult for me... The Minister of War will not do anything and lead troops to pacify Japan. The Qing family's idea is really special!" Yang Jing asked with a smile.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am willing to expand my territory for Your Majesty, and I am willing to travel all over the Ming Dynasty, but I am unwilling to waste my time. I am willing to die in the battlefield, but I am unwilling to die of old age..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"Well, I know what the Qing family thinks, but this matter still needs to be discussed in court! I can't guarantee whether it can be done..." Yang Jing sighed.

"I'll ask Your Majesty to do it..." Yuan Chonghuan said. He knew that if the emperor agreed, it would basically be mostly. If the emperor did not support it, there would be no chance.

"...This is not a question of whether I can accomplish it or not..., haha, let's talk about it... Since the Qing family has this intention, it might as well do a good job of how to conquer Japan and clarify the details..., Besides, even if the Qing family really wants to lead troops to pacify Japan, it is impossible in this cold winter. At least it will be next year, so there is no rush to this moment..." Yang Jing said. Faced with a person who went to lead troops to fight without being the Minister of War, Yang Jing didn't know what to say. Of course, Yang Jing always hoped that Yuan Chonghuan would do this and send troops to fight Japan. Someone would always have to do it.

"I will receive the order!" Yuan Chonghuan said.

Can it work?

Yang Jing began to ask himself, is it really possible for Yuan Chonghuan to fight a naval battle? There are so-called many concerns and many restrictions! Things are not as simple as he thought!

This is a feudal society, not the 20th century later. Civilian officials led their troops to sea. It had not happened in the Ming Dynasty. Why did Zheng He go to the West instead of civil officials? The emperor's defense against civil officials also makes sense. Should he take this step?

Yang Jing asked himself, from the perspective of the emperor, he still hoped that eunuchs would go to sea, but this obviously went against his original intention. The Ming Dynasty was about to move to a wider area and relying on eunuchs to control and prevent officials from becoming popular. This move is outdated. Civil officials lead troops and governors in charge of overseas affairs will definitely be more common. Could it be that all this starts with Yuan Chonghuan?

Yang Jingwei can be said to have a lot of thoughts.

He hoped that Yuan Chonghuan would intervene in the navy and overseas expansion, even if the ministers did not object and Yuan Chonghuan himself was willing, Yang Jing also had considerable concerns. The reason was only understood by himself, as an emperor.

...

Yuan Chonghuan didn't want to be the position of Minister of War, but wanted to lead troops to pacify Japan, which caused a lot of trouble in this Beijing city.

Not long after Yuan Chonghuan returned, several ministers from the cabinet immediately came to the door.

Still on the platform.

Yang Jingwei did not leave at all, or in other words, he had no time to leave.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible. How can a dignified Minister of War be so ridiculed? As a Secretary of the Ministry of War, he should look like a Secretary of the Ministry of Justice... There is still no morality? Your Majesty, I advise you to severely punish Yuan Ziru..." Han Yu criticized Yuan Chonghuan with a dark face. The harm caused to him by Yuan Chonghuan was really extraordinary. Not to mention anything else, a capable supporter was gone, and his weight in the court was greatly reduced. As Yuan Chonghuan's master, Yuan Chonghuan did such an outrageous thing, and he was very annoyed.

"Your Majesty, this matter is probably not suitable..." Zhang Ruitu said.

Yang Jing was indifferent. He was actually considering not whether Yuan Chonghuan would go to work or who would fight against Japan. Instead, he was hesitating whether he should take this step. This step has broken many precedents. The "imperial factor" deep in his body warned Yang Jing that it was inappropriate to do this.

"...There is still the Qing family who wants to say?" Yang Jing did not listen to what these people said at all. He only knew that he had finished speaking and said this casually.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say..." Bi Ziyan said.

When Yang Jie heard Bi Ziyan's voice, he turned his mind back to reality and looked at Bi Ziyan. He saw that Bi Ziyan had a solemn face and his tone was also very solemn. This seemed to be something different to say?

"Oh, what's the matter with the Qing family?" Yang Jing asked. Yang Jing wanted to see if Bi Ziyan could say something unusual.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think it is not wrong to lead troops to pacify Japan..." Bi Zi said seriously, and his words were indeed completely opposite to those of the previous few people.

As soon as these words were said, everyone present was surprised. Unexpectedly, it was Bi Ziyan who would have supported Yuan Chonghuan.

"Oh, let's talk about it carefully..." Yang Jing immediately asked. At this time, Yang Jing was quite interested, and wanted to know why Bi Ziyan said that and thought so.

"Report to Your Majesty, is there no precedent for the Minister of War to lead troops outside?" Bi Ziyan just asked.

"This..., haha, I have to say that the Qing family is right. If the Minister of War is released and led troops, he must be the supervisor, just like Master Sun, which is absolutely possible..." Yang Jie said with a smile. In the Ming Dynasty, people at the level of ministers were released and led troops at the level of governors, and those at the level of supervisors must be the title of Minister of War. In other words, it is entirely possible for the Minister of War to lead troops to fight, just like Sun Chengzong.

Han Yu secretly scolded Yuan Chonghuan for being a little confused and didn't discuss such a big thing with him. If the emperor really agrees, his weight in the court will be greatly reduced.

Shi Fenglai was relieved. The emperor finally didn't ask him. This precedent was not without it, nor was it impossible, but it was the country that was pacified. This is the key. Japan is overseas, but Huawai. Although the income from maritime trade is not low, it is still Huawai. This is not wrong. Is that place worthy of a commander in the Ming Dynasty to fight? The dignified Minister of War stopped doing it and ran to the place where birds did not shit. Is this not a brain disease? Only Yuan Chonghuan and a fool can do this. Sun Chengzong supervised the nine borders, which is the supreme glory. What's the matter if you supervise the commander to pacify Japan?

"Yes, Your Majesty, it was not a big deal to lead troops from the Ministry of War. Yuan's Ministry of War wanted to go out to lead troops, but I thought it was nothing. Yuan's Ministry of War was originally the one who led troops and was also aware of the army..." Bi Ziyan said in detail.

"Well, the Qing family makes sense..." Yang Jingai said with a smile. Yang Jingai's mind returned to this question.

"Your Majesty..." Han Du said again with a dark face, very helpless. Han Du still can't figure out why his student said such words, so he should have slapped him in the face. Of course, he could not know other inexplicable things that Yuan Chonghuan did in history. If he knew, he would not be surprised that his students did these inexplicable things.

A little silence.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think it is okay for Yuan’s Ministry of War to lead troops to fight against Japan..." Bi Ziyan unexpectedly supported Yuan Chonghuan.

There were twists and turns in this small-scale discussion, and Yang Jingwei was even more surprised. What happened? This was not arranged by himself! Why did the play start to sing it by himself?

"Oh, then the Qing family might as well tell us the reasons..." Yang Jingwei said.

"Report to Your Majesty, I think, first of all, Japan has a feud with our dynasty. Your Majesty has long said that Japan has a wolfish ambitions. Now that our dynasty has the ability, we should eliminate this disaster..." Bi Zi said seriously.

Yang Jie looked at Bi Ziyan with some surprise, which was his own statement.

"...Second: Your Majesty said that the reason why our dynasty was in trouble with the Eastern Captain was entirely due to the Japanese invasion of our vassal state, North Korea. Our dynasty was killed and injured by one million, suffered countless losses, and the judgment cost was as high as tens of millions of silver. Your Majesty, is it the people of our dynasty who are responsible for this? Naturally, we have to settle the score with Japan..." Bi Ziyan continued to speak righteously.

Yang Jingwei is very accustomed! This is completely his previous statement. Is it very popular to use his own statement now?

"...Third: Your Majesty, according to me, Japan produces a lot of gold and silver, and there are famous silver pit ores that produce silver pits. If the gold and silver mines of Japan can be controlled in our dynasty, they can obtain hundreds of thousands of silver every year, which can be used as national benefits..." Bi Ziyan began to give his own opinions one by one.

Yang Jingwei didn't know what to say.

"...Fourth: Your Majesty, the profit of goods sold to Japan can be several times higher than our dynasty. Our dynasty can collect a considerable amount of taxes. I advise Your Majesty to conquer..." Bi Ziyan said loudly.

This small-scale discussion was another small twists and turns. The tax that Bi Ziyan said could not be received from the Ministry of Revenue, and it belonged to the emperor. Someone looked at Bi Ziyan with a strange look.

"... Although this tax does not enter the Ministry of Revenue, I think that now the state expenses are getting higher, and almost all rely on Your Majesty to support it. I think that receiving the tax from Your Majesty is also a tax, and every document is worth fighting for..." Bi Ziyan said so. Bi Ziyan said that the tax has nothing to do with the Ministry of Revenue, but in fact, it has a great relationship. The emperor had told him that he would gradually transfer some taxes to the Ministry of Revenue and would not always use the treasury to pay various expenses. Bi Ziyan also wanted to

After that, the palace no longer recruited eunuchs. In other words, the eunuchs always had a big time when they controlled the tax supervision. This tax would always be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue in the future. Sooner or later, this tax would still be controlled by the civil officials. Although what he did now seemed to be absurd and had the intention of flattering the emperor, in fact, he was considering the Ministry of Revenue. In Bi Ziyan's opinion, it would be okay for the Ministry of Revenue in front of the emperor. The money of the Ministry of Revenue and the emperor's spending was fine.

Some unknown people were surprised to see Bi Ziyan. What was going on? A poor Ministry of Revenue actually supported the suppression of Japanese troops so vigorously?

There was a silence in the house, and even Yang Jing was embarrassed to remain silent. He praised this...

Bi Ziyan was not at all uncomfortable, but was very comfortable and confident.

"Your Majesty, if you want to suppress the Japanese, isn't this a lot of expense?" Shi Fenglai finally asked something. Now these imperial parties are in an internal strife. One thing is that opposition opposition, support, if none of them can't be unified in the argument, what do outsiders think? What do the imperial parties think? Shi Fenglai felt that as the chief minister, although he may not be the leader of the imperial party, it is necessary to say something for the imperial party.

"Well, yes, the cost of fighting the Japanese is of course necessary. This time, unlike the expulsion of the Japanese people before, it may be a full-scale war. Even if there is no full-scale war, we must be prepared for a full-scale war..." Yang Jingwei said.

"... Then, Your Majesty, this cost... is probably not expensive!" Shi Fenglai asked again. All he could do was to ease the atmosphere.
To be continued...
