After talking about the polar bear, Yang Jing paused for a moment and felt a little thirsty.**

After drinking a cup of tea, Yang Jieyu was about to continue talking.

"This is probably the situation in the north. Now, let's talk about the matter in the west..., Ministry of War..." Yang Jie said again.

"I am here!" Minister of War Shen Yongmao immediately agreed.

"Your family will talk about the matters in the west..." Yang Jingjie said. Yang Jingjie found that the new Minister of War was quite useful. Although he didn't know much about military affairs, he did not dare to interfere too much in his own affairs. He basically agreed to what he wanted. He said he was tired and could ask him to speak on his behalf. He was a good secretary.

"I will receive the order!" Minister of War Shen Yongmao immediately agreed.

"………………Your Majesty, my elders and colleagues..., to the west is Uszang, which is the scope of Moxiong Mongolia. The current Red and Yellow Sect dispute is at a critical moment. According to Your Majesty's arrangement, after we have cleaned up the Eastern Captains, our dynasty will go west and take the lead in the collection of Uszang and Moxiong Mongolia. The strategy is still the same as before, with a small number of elite troops mixed with and suppressing a large number of Imperial Army fights. Similarly, trade privileges are used as rewards to control a large area. Of course, this place is much richer than the northern part of Moxiong, and the number of combatants is still somewhat different from the hundreds of people in the northern part of the Great Wall.·····The strategy here will have to wait until the war between the Eastern Captain Huang Taiji is completed before it can be implemented..." Minister of War Shen Yongmao immediately said as if he was endorsed.

"Well, I believe all the Qing family knows some of this prescription strategy. For specific matters, you have to wait until Master Sun completely eliminates the Donglu. This is a basic strategy..." Yang Jing interrupted.

The ministers looked at each other without saying much. It was indeed not their turn to speak. The nine-sided and thousands of miles of commander, but Sun Chengzong.

"…………Okay, I have talked about the three sides of the east, north and west, let's talk about the south...……” Yang Jing did not continue to let Shen Yongmao say it, but said it himself.

The ministers immediately became solemn and listened carefully. These were the basic directions of the Ming Dynasty in the next few years or even decades.

"………………It seems that these three sides are fighting, but this south is relatively calm. But in fact, this south may be the most difficult to deal with, or it may be the longest time-consuming side. To fight Japan, it will be effective in three or five years. The north will be almost able to expand to the extreme north in three or five years. This west involves the Eastern Barbarians, and the resolution of the Eastern Barbarians is probably the next two years. At most, next year, the Western Regions will expand to the Western Regions before the Han and Tang Dynasties, which will be about three or five years. Perhaps more time, but this south may take decades or even hundreds of years to our dynasty..." Yang Jing was announcing his own colonial expansion policy.

"……………This Nanyang is not only a pure reference to the Nanyang, but also to the West through the Nanyang. Now the Western Folang Ji people have already run to the door of my Ming Dynasty. If I want to go out and expand, I will definitely have conflicts with them. Therefore, this conflict may last for decades and a hundred years. I may fight them at the birthplace of Folang Ji people......... Yang Jie said, and the stick drew a large circle on the large sand table, from the abdomen of the Ming Dynasty to the South Ocean, to Malacca, to India, Africa, and then to Europe.

Several ministers wanted to open their mouths and talk, but it was obvious that the emperor had no intention of stopping, and he did not dare to interrupt rashly.

"Although Nanyang is a land of smoky and smoky, although there are various diseases, it has to be said that this is a fertile land that cannot be more fertile. It is a place where you can eat and drink as long as you sow a few seeds. As long as you have appropriate methods to resist and deal with smoky, these places are land that cannot be more fertile. At least two ripe a year, most of them are three ripe. It is really very fertile. The people of my dynasty happened to be hungry because there was no land to cultivate. This land was given to me by God. If I don't take it, I will be struck by lightning..." Yang Jingjie said. Yang Jingjie's tone was unquestionable. When he said this, his whole aura had risen to a certain level without realizing it...

The ministers were all stuttering, forced by the emperor's aura, and even if they wanted to ask or say something, they couldn't say it.

"……………………The success of immigration to Daliuqiu has accumulated enough experience for the expansion to the South Ocean, whether it is organizing immigration itself, dealing with smoky diseases, or dealing with pirates... What is left now is to let the navy open the passage to the south and fight for a piece of land for generations to rest and raise for the people...……………… Yang Jing still said in an unquestionable voice. Yang Jing, who has accumulated enough prestige, is indeed sure, is absolutely qualified, and has the ability to say this.

The ministers simply shut up. The emperor's aura was too strong and he could not tolerate any interruption. Since the emperor had already said that, let's do it. At least so far, there was no big mistake in the decision made by this Sage Emperor.

"...In addition to the Southeast Ocean, there are more lands. For example, here, according to the map made by the barbarians, there is a large piece of land here, and there is also a large piece of land here, which is wide, and each piece is more than several times the territory of the Ming Dynasty today. Here, it also needs to be occupied and controlled. This world is gradually getting smaller... It is not that the world is really getting smaller, but that with the development of communication and transportation, the understanding of this world is becoming clearer and clearer. Many blurred places in the past have gradually become clearer. The fog that obscures people's vision in this world is weakening and disappearing. My Ming Dynasty must continue to occupy and play the role of the center of the world in this world after the fog has dissipated... It is still the same sentence, that is,

Now, those places are very barren, and our dynasty cannot give up. I am looking for China, the heavenly kingdom, and the center of the world. Compared with those barbarians and barbarians, it is a rich land. If our dynasty does not take it, it will be occupied by others, and will definitely peek at the wealth of our dynasty. Things like slaughtering grass valleys will inevitably happen... I won't say much about this lesson. I don't want to raise an Eastern Captain, nor do I want more Japanese to attack my Ming Dynasty in every few days..." Yang Jing continued to announce his expansion strategy with a very high momentum. The stick pointed to Australia, South America, and North America. At this time, the map was only a rough look, and it was not very accurate, but the prototype of the world map was there.

The ministers listened very quietly. It can be said that they didn't dare to breathe a little longer. This grand plan was the first time that many people heard of it. They were already shocked by this content, and almost all included the entire sand table in a big Ming Dynasty. What a big Ming Dynasty? Just as the emperor just said, it was those two barren lands, each of which was much larger than today's Ming Dynasty. In the future, the Ming Dynasty is not even ten times larger than today?

All the ministers were captured by the emperor's aura and dared not breathe too much...

Yang Jing expressed his blueprint in his heart and felt much more comfortable. At this moment, all preparations for colonial expansion have been prepared. Whether it is advancing north or south, whether it is land or sea, they have enough experience, prepared enough, and supported enough. The rest is to let go of their hands and let the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty sail into the depths of the ocean.

The platform was extremely quiet, and the rest was the sound of everyone's breathing.

"Your family, do you have any questions? You can raise them now, and I can answer them..." Yang Jie saw that his momentum had overwhelmed the ministers, and no one dared to oppose him in the face of such a strong momentum. Yang Jie was very satisfied and it was not in vain that he had accumulated such a long power.

The ministers then started to move slightly.

After a while, Chen Yuting stood up and prepared to perform his duties.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it or not..." Chen Yuting bravely stood up and asked. He had heard of the things the emperor said, and was not too unfamiliar. Of course, he did not want to say more about the great principles, nor did he want to argue with the emperor more. He just wanted to fulfill his duties.

"Oh, if you have anything to ask, just ask, I can answer it..." Yang Jingwei said.

"Report to Your Majesty, your Majesty must pass through Jiaozhi, and how will your Majesty deal with Jiaozhi? Our dynasty has fought with Jiaozhi before, and even established Jiaozhi Administrator, but later he had to retreat....Your Majesty, just one Jiaozhi is so difficult to conquer, so how can you talk about the vast territory of Nanyang? Besides, there are many countries in Nanyang that accept the title of our dynasty, and should we deal with the relationship between these countries?" Chen Yuting asked.

"Well, the Qing family makes sense. The Qing family talks about Jiaozhi's question, but they actually want to ask how to conquer such a vast place, right? How to occupy it if it is conquered, right?" Yang Jingwei said.

"Report to Your Majesty, yes!" Chen Yuting said.

"In fact, you might as well refer to Yuan Chonghuan's approach in Japan. Although Japan has millions or even tens of millions of people, I only gave Yuan Chonghuan thirty or forty warships. In fact, it does not require many people and does not consume much money. It can be completely compensated for the consumption through trade. The intensity of its combat is within the limit of the trade harvest. It will not drag the court itself too much. If the trade route is maintained, the court can instead make a lot of profits from the trade......" Yang Jing explained lightly, and there was another thing he didn't say, that was plunder.

"...If you don't understand how Yuan Chonghuan suppressed the Japanese, I can say it simpler... In fact, this is the way to deal with the outer Mongolians in the pass, using the Imperial Army..., do you understand this?" Yang Jingyi explained.

"……………………Report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty means that the Southeast Asian countries will be like peaceful Japanese. There will not be too many people going to fight Jiaozhi. Instead, they use naval warships to block the sea surface, use warships to destroy Jiaozhi's strength, and make them self-disturb. Our dynasty makes profits from it, and then supplements trade to supplement the consumption of naval forces. They can balance income and expenditure, and even rely on trade to save money?" Chen Yuting is not an idiot. His seniors have given him many tips, told him about these inside stories, and after asking them, they have fulfilled his responsibilities.

"Yes, it's almost the same. This is the biggest difference between the previous level of Jiaozhi in our dynasty. There is no large army in the face of the enemy. Only warships control maritime traffic and protect trade. They use warships to destroy Jiaozhi's strength, make them civil strife, and make them surrender. They set up some strongholds as bases to erode Jiaozhi, and gradually promote expansion... instead of large army in the face of the enemy, and flatten them in one fell swoop..." Yang Jingwei said.

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand. I think this is probably the case in other parts of Southeast Asia. But, Your Majesty, many countries in Southeast Asia used to have their imperial edicts, so how should we deal with it?" Chen Yuting said diligently again.

"This is simple. If the dynasty who were granted the imperial edict in the past, I would like to discuss it differently. If I cannot scoop it out, it would be a different matter... For example, you can learn from the ancients and build some imperial army to assist our dynasty in fighting. Since it is a vassal state of our dynasty, you should contribute to our dynasty......" Yang Jing said simply. In fact, it is very simple to deal with this. The Ming Dynasty has not visited Nanyang for so many years and its influence on Nanyang has been greatly reduced. God knows that there is still

How many such titles? If there is a title, it doesn’t matter if there is a title. Just build a puppet country and get some puppet imperial army. It’s better to use the locals to fight the locals. When the Nanyang battles are almost done, I think that with the productivity of the Ming Dynasty at that time, I will definitely have an industrialized society. The wealth of the Imperial Army will not make those imperial army countries envious of their chins? There is also a huge gap between nationality and household registration. If the Ming Dynasty does not require the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely ask that they have to consider whether to agree.

When the ministers heard this, they were the same move and the Imperial Army. How could they fight Nanyang? They were all considered to be very ill. Even those who knew nothing about military affairs understood a little. It seemed that this expansion was not as difficult as imagined. It was almost done step by step. It seemed that everything was ready...

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand..." Chen Yuting said satisfied. Since he had done what he should do, he should leave the stage.

"You guys, what else should I ask?" Yang Jie asked.

The ministers looked at each other and whispered for a while.

"Your Majesty, I have a question, but I don't know if it should be asked or not." Han thought for a long time and finally asked.

"Oh, what's the Qing family going to ask?" Yang Jie asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, I don't know when Your Majesty will go south?" Han asked.

After Han asked, all the ministers listened attentively. This was definitely a huge news and may have a lot of impact on many things.

"………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

, After the lighthouses in Zhejiang, Fujian, Daliuqiu, Guangdong and Guangxi are connected into a network, it is not too late to go there..." Yang Jing said this, in fact, there is a more important factor, that is, the construction of the navy. The Ming Dynasty is now in great momentum, and many pirates who did not consider recruiting in history are now accepting recruitment. Therefore, the current Ming Dynasty is much better than the Ming Dynasty in history. Now it takes time to familiarize the new navy with new warships, new tactics, and only after running in cannons can it go to the battlefield. After all, whether it is the pirates or navy in the Ming Dynasty, they are used to small boats and small cannons, and they are not very familiar with the combat methods of large warships and fleets, which takes time. Then there is the problem of the lighthouse, and it takes time to build a new lighthouse.

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand..." Han asked, so he stopped asking more questions. If you ask too much, it would be unnecessary to get rid of the emperor.

"There is still the Qing family who wants to ask?" Yang Jing looked around and asked again.

This time the ministers did not come out to ask questions again.

"Since it's gone, I'll say something more. Today's conversation is top secret. Don't reveal it any more. It's related to the destiny of our country in the future. I'll eliminate the secrets. If you leak secrets, you will be punished by leaking the banned Chinese. I will never tolerate it. Don't blame me for not being merciless at that time..." Yang Jing instructed again. There is another thing that has caused trouble for Yang Jing, that is, the issue of the master of the Ming Dynasty. Many officials do not have much thinking ability, and many people like to scoop things for the master of the master.

It is contemplated and speculated that the consequence is that the court's confidentiality measures are like a sieve. There is no secret at all. Things that are often discussed in the court are already spreading all over the city. What's worse is that after secret communication between the masters, these people attack them, forming gangs and fighting, or venting information, they often catch the court off guard, and often suffer from a lot of external interference. The policies and decisions made often appear deviations. The masters often come from the same place, which amplifies the ability to secretly influence the government.

The ministers discussed again and said, "I will receive the order!"

"Big partner, compile Yuan Chonghuan's affairs in Japan into a simple brochure and distribute them to officials of third rank or above for review and knowledge... But keep it confidential and not allow irrelevant people to see it. The words "confidential" are marked on this brochure, and the words that officials of third rank or above are not allowed to be viewed to prevent others from reading... Similarly, if there is a leak, the Chinese language will be treated as a matter of leaking......" Yang Jing also said. Yang Jing intends to divest these people who have been secretly observing and spying on the court to deal with the government. Although the status of some people may not be very high, the actual energy cannot be underestimated. They may not be able to do anything, but bad things are definitely experts. This uncontrollable force needs to be isolated, or included in the control scope.
