The fifth year of Taishi, February 20th

Zhu Gaoxu took Fang Shiyu's imperial edict and headed south by boat, leading his commercial fleet from Zhigukou to the sea, to the estuary of the Yangtze River, and after entering the Yangtze River, the fleet docked in Chaohu.

Zhu Gaoxu set foot on the land of Nanjing.

Instead of Fang Shiyu, he came to Xiaoling Mausoleum of Zhongshan to worship His Highness Gao, Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Xiaokangma, and Zhu Gaoxu only stayed in Nanjing for a few days, bought some messy things, and left the Ming Dynasty by boat.

On the way back to the Cape of Good Hope.

Beijing, the palace.

Fang Shiyu held the third issue published by the Ming Empire Daily in his hand and exclaimed the description above: "The pens of these literati are really sharper than knives."

"Your Highness is absurd, this is what the empress should do!" Xie Jin bowed and nodded and said.

The agreement, terms, and results of the Ming Dynasty court and North Korea clearly explain the profit-making level from all aspects.

Although the Ming Dynasty was a vested interest, Xie Jin also told me that the Ming Dynasty was the party that maintained justice and was a heavenly soldier and general who protected peace.

Fang Shiyu blushed when she saw her and said a little embarrassedly: "It's just too exaggerating. Although the people know a lot of words, classical Chinese is still obscure."

"Since this newspaper is for the people to read as much as possible, we should choose the vernacular method in the future, which is convenient for the people to read and also for the people, but there is still a little more."

"Praise words should be controlled as much as possible. If you say too much, you will backfire and backfire." Fang Shiyu must carefully study every issue of newspapers and magazines."

Let’s see if the Ming Empire Daily is really publishing some things that make the people profit according to their own wishes. Although there are fewer things, it also provides a full interpretation of the current affairs of the court and what benefits the people can get.

Xie Jin nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, I have recorded it. I will definitely rectify it according to your highness's wishes."

Xie Jin was definitely the first super talent in the Ming Dynasty. His talents were all eye-catching in the entire 270th year of the Ming Dynasty.

Now in charge of the compilation and deletion of the sections of the Ming Empire Daily, this little thing is naturally difficult for the talented man Xie Jin.

Fang Shiyu nodded slightly and said, "Well, I still believe in the knowledge of a talented man. Is there any memorial that I want me to read?" Fang Shiyu put down the Ming Empire Daily. This thing has been published for two issues. This is the third issue of the Ming Empire Daily.

This issue mainly talks about the changes in Liaodong and the Korean War.

Xie Jin said: "Your Highness, the civil servant has a small notebook here. Your Highness will take a look."

"The war situation in the southwest? Is there any war in the southwest?" Fang Shiyu looked suspicious, turned the document and glanced at it, and said more and more serious: "Mu Chun was defeated in Luchuan? Why did he lose again?"

In the middle of the second year of Taishi, Mu Chun led Yunnan troops into Luchuan to help Chang Mao's central army flanks and ensure the safety of the flanks, and he failed once.

How long has it been since Mu Chun and the Yunnan soldiers were defeated again in Luchuan.

"And this time it was a crushing defeat, with all the 50,000 elite troops in Yunnan lost." Xie Jin said in confusion.

"According to the newly set pension standards by the court, all the 30 million treasures of treasures will be sent out as pensions." Xie Jin's eyes were solemn. This world was too terrible, too terrifying.

Three million yuan of treasure money. Although it is not a major matter for the court, it is just a direct loss. I don’t know how much financial and material resources will be consumed for subsequent messy things such as recruiting new troops.

The most important thing is training. The imperial army pays the most attention to training, spending money on one projectile and one projectile.

Although the 50,000 elite troops in Yunnan are not as good as the elite troops of the imperial court's central army, the actual situation is not much different. They equipped the most exquisite Hongwu Type 27 rifled rifled rifles in the imperial court.

Tiger squat cannons, portable tiger squat cannons, and general cannons, countless.

Although the Xiping Marquis Mansion can afford part of the military expenditure, the Xiping Marquis Mansion is also the only Marquis Mansion in the entire Ming Dynasty that has the power to support private soldiers.

Fang Shiyu said: "How could it be defeated? How could it be defeated? This makes no sense." Fang Shiyu's eyes were heavy. It was he who ordered Mu Chun to lead his troops to attack Luchuan. As long as he took down Luchuan, the Ming Dynasty could penetrate the southwest region without any obstacles.

Until the coastline is taken.

Mu Chun failed once a few years ago, but now he failed again?

"Twenty million yuan of treasure money, go to his mother's Xipi. Apart from his father, the Mu family is nothing but mud that can't be supported on the wall." Fang Shiyu was so frustrated that he pinched the documents in his hand into a ball and threw them out.

The court cannot afford the 30,000 yuan Baochao, nor can it afford to lose, but the loss is too unacceptable.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was conquering the world and when Mu Ying joined the army, the Ming Dynasty was about to be established, and Mu Ying could still fight countless beautiful battles.

In Fang Shiyu's eyes, Mu Ying was just a little younger. If he was the same age as Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Zhu Yuanzhang, his military achievements might not be much worse than those of these veterans.

But this Mu Chun is so fucking.

"A Dou." Fang Shiyu cursed enough, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Xie Jin and said, "No, shouldn't this be reported to me by the Seventh Army Governor's Office? How did it come from you?"

Fang Shiyu's mind changed and found a magical point.

The military affairs have always been reported by the Governor's Office of the Seventh Army, so Xie Jin's turn to tell him.

Xie Jin bowed and said, "Your Highness, this is a document from the Ministry of War. The minister is worried that the situation is urgent and dare not hesitate. He sent it to Your Highness."

"Oh? You go back first. In the future, whether it is urgent or not, if you think it is urgent, just send it to Wuying Palace." Fang Shiyu stared at Xie Jin.

A little stunned, Xie Jin bowed and nodded and said, "I'm going to leave."

The Second Five-Year Plan has begun. Waiting for the end of the Second Five-Year Plan, the cabinet will be changed. It is still a question of who will be the next chief minister of the cabinet.

Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Jing Qing, and Xie Jin are all candidates for the next cabinet chief, and Xie Jin is unavoidable to show his face at this time.

The heart that wants to be the prime minister is almost unable to suppress it

Fang Shiyu saw Jie Jin leave and walked out of the Yangxin Palace. Although it was cold, the military affairs in the southwest were completely defeated. Mu Chun lost 50,000 elite soldiers in a big battle. Such a big thing was like that, waiting.

Now that I know, even if Xie Jin crossed, Fang Shiyu couldn't stand it anymore.

Inside Wuying Hall.

It seemed that everyone knew about Mu Chun's defeat. Fang Shiyu stepped in and looked at everyone who looked at his eyes and his nose, and his heart, and he seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Fang Shiyu chuckled and said, "You all know about Mu Chun's defeat."

"Mu Chun's defeat can only be said to be blindly arrogant and he was taken advantage of by others. If I go to Luchuan, 30,000 elite soldiers will definitely attack Luchuan."

Lan Tian was indignant. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty court, there were countless dukes and marquises, and the power of the Mu family was great? In the entire Yunnan, most of the military and political power in the noble land was in the hands of the Mu family, and the court almost left the trend of letting the people ignore it.

The complete vassal kings of different surnames are even much more powerful than the Zhu family kings of Qin, Jin and Yan.

The Mu family is in Yunnan, and can govern, raise soldiers, and have local finances. With such a high honor, if you are not cared about by others and envious, it would be strange.

"Is it your turn to speak?" Lan Yu widened her big eyes and stared at Lan Tian and scolded.

After hearing Lan Yu's scolding, Lan Tian shrank his head timidly.

Fang Shiyu sighed and sighed in her heart: "It's indeed a fool."

Immediately, Fang Shiyu, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the sand table map that had already been placed in front of him and said, "How should the court deal with Mu Chun's defeat? This is all a matter of later. The most important thing at the moment is to ensure that the court's pensions and silver can be issued intact. The Jinyiwei has kept a close eye on this matter, so don't let the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War take advantage of the opportunity."

Fang Shiyu spoke directly, setting the tone and said: "The situation in Luchuan is unknown. They really don't have many soldiers. I don't know how they blocked Mu Chun's 50,000 troops and fought Mu Chun in panic."

"But Luchuan is another outlet for the imperial court. Now it has controlled the Jiaozhi Governor. If Luchuan cannot be taken down, it will affect the future maritime trade plan for the imperial court."

"Take Luchuan down, and the court can set up prefectures and counties over Uszangdushi, and strengthen the court's rule in Uszang. Let's talk about who you are going to Luchuan."

"The Xiping Hou Mansion is not capable of expeditioning the West."

Fang Shiyu looked at the nobles and said with a heavy expression.

At this time, Deng Ming said, "Your Highness, I think you can stop fighting. Luchuan has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. In order to control Luchuan and get closer to the estuary, is this completely unnecessary?"

"After all, the imperial court does not lack sea outlets."

I don’t know whether Deng Ming’s words were intentional or unintentional.

Fang Shiyu looked heavy and said confidently: "It is imperative to take down Luchuan. There are all estuaries in the east, and there are not one estuaries in the west. Take down Erluchuan and all the goods are distributed in Yunnan.

Increase the development of Yunnan region, settle down, and go directly to sea from the southwest corner."

"It is a thousand-year plan for Uszang to draw prefectures and counties. It is too big. When the court is strong, it will not take any action. Once the court fails or the court is no longer strong, it will split from the court at any time."

"On the map alone, Uszang is about to have a whole south (south of the Yangtze River) area."

After Fang Shiyu said that, Fu Zhong, Duke Ying Guo, spoke, said: "Your Highness, do you have to take down Luchuan and open the southwest sea outlet?"

Fang Shiyu nodded and said, "You don't want to go?"

Everyone had no intention of retreating. Lan Yu said, "If they are afraid and dare not go, then let me go, educate Mu Chun, and take Luchuan."

Lan Yu spoke first, but the rest of the people responded mediocrely, as if no one was interested in Luchuan.

Fang Shiyu smiled and said, "Duke Liang just got a son when he was old. It was the time when family happiness. How could he go to the battlefield? If you don't volunteer, I'll call it myself."

As soon as Fang Shiyu finished speaking, Xu Huizu said, "Your Highness, what do you want to do? This is not a big problem in the north, but a small country in the south, but it is so unique."

"Because the south is often more important than the north, the north of the imperial court, except for the northern desert grassland, is the only one left in the northwest of the East Chahatai area, which is not so easy to take down both places."

"I took them off and turned around and still had to attack the south side."

Fang Shiyu knew Xu Huizu's little thoughts. He wanted to go north. He really wanted to go and fight against the grassland nomads. Perhaps it was Xu Huizu's little pursuit.

Fang Shiyu said, "Why don't Chang Mao go there again?" Good guy, none of these nobles volunteered. In desperation, Fang Shiyu could only focus on Chang Mao.

Chang Mao's expression was frozen, and he didn't know whether he was willing to go or not. Just when Fang Shiyu couldn't come to Taiwan, Ping'an spoke, "Your Highness, I'm willing to go!"

"Your Highness, the last general is willing to go."

He Wenhui spoke.

Looking at the two old guys who are over fifty years old, Fang Shiyu pursed her lips and said, "You two are..."

"Your Highness, we are just a mud boy. If His Highness had not valued him, he would have taken him by his side and adopted him as his adopted son, he might have starved to death on the street."

"Although Mu Chun was defeated, the court could not silence his spirit. His Highness gave him 50,000 elite troops and rushed to Luchuan until his death to help His Highness and open up the southwest sea estuary!"
