Chapter 1272 Vigorous Mu Goro

Mu Changzuo had long heard that the emperor was not particular about food and was very frugal. After entering the imperial city, he vigorously cut down the court expenses, and thought it was just for fun.

But looking at it now, it is indeed the case. You can't see all kinds of palace dishes of dragon liver and phoenix marrow. What you see are ordinary dishes. There is only one big dish that looks like a palace dish.

The days that Mu Changzuo and his five sons enjoyed in Yunnan far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. They were very good at passing down food and clothing. Dozens or hundreds of taels of silver is no joke.

Seeing the emperor eating so plainly now, I feel a different feeling in my heart.

After lunch, when Xiao Ruxun was drinking tea with Mu Changzuo to digest food, a piece of military information came, and Xiao Ruxun didn't shy away from it. He looked at it, and after seeing it, he smiled.

"After the king of the Wa Kingdom was captured, the Wa Kingdom Guan Bai Toyoshi Hideji was also arrested. Now, the two biggest people in the Wa Kingdom have been captured. The Wa Kingdom is dead. The people in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't have to worry about the Japanese pirates anymore! "

Xiao Ruxun handed the military newspaper directly to Mu Changzuo for him to read, Mu Changzuo took it carefully, and quickly congratulated Xiao Ruxun after reading it.

"The Japanese pirates' rebellion in the previous dynasty was very serious. They have poisoned the people for more than a hundred years, and the people are suffering. Your Majesty wiped out the Japanese kingdom and eliminated the disaster for the people. The people will always remember this kindness. The Great Qin will surely last forever!"

Xiao Ruxun laughed loudly, and patted Mu Changzuo on the shoulder to express his joy.

This is mainly due to the joint efforts of Qi Jin and Luo Shangzhi. The two of them chased the enemy at the forefront, clung to the trail of Toyotomi Hideji, and finally caught Toyotomi Hideji. Ishida Mitsunari was stubbornly resisted by Qi Jin In order to cover Toyotomi Hideji's escape, Ukita Hideka was stabbed to death by Luo Shangzhi and beheaded.

The last hope of the Toyotomi Clan is gone, and the chance that Japan may finally establish a unified order is gone. Once the central government is destroyed, none of the remaining local princes will be the opponent of the Great Qin Crusade Army. Extremely easy thing.

"After this battle is over, let the people and soldiers have a good rest. Over the past year, three battles have been fought in a row. The people are exhausted, and the army is also very tired. If the fight continues, the finances will also suffer. No, the minister of the Ministry of Finance complained to me many times, saying that I spent too much money and asked me to save some money.

I think so, these three battles have brought the disasters of the southwest and northeast into contact, the greatest threat of the outer seas has also been lifted, the southern vassal state has also been stabilized, and the internal threat of Daqin has basically disappeared. The next step is to recuperate. , ready for the Northern Expedition. "

When Xiao Ruxun said this, Mu Changzuo also remembered that at the beginning of the year, Xiao Ruxun issued an edict to the world. The edict said that Xiao Ruxun's next goal was to recuperate for five years, and to use five years to make Daqin's military equipment complete Be sure, and then imitate Han Wu and send troops to Mobei to completely solve the problem of the northern captives.

Xiao Ruxun decided to completely solve the problem of northern captives that had troubled the Central Plains for thousands of years. To accomplish a great feat that even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed to do, not only to seal the wolf and live in Xu Le Shi Yanran, but also to solve the problem thoroughly.

Based on the combat capabilities of the Qin army observed by Mu Changzuo, it would take Xiao Ruxun five years to prepare the army for internal affairs and prepare materials for the war. It is definitely not a small-scale war. , to get rid of the northern captives in an all-round way.

If Xiao Ruxun is really allowed to do this, then Xiao Ruxun will definitely become a model of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, and will be praised by later generations. Qin's rule will be as stable as Mount Tai, and Xiao Ruxun's status will be as stable as Mount Tai.

Mu Changzuo couldn't help swallowing, and the five sons of the Mu family behind him also showed complicated expressions.

How far can the war of overwhelming the country go?
They are unimaginable.

Will the Beilu really be completely wiped out?Will the grassland become the property of the Central Plains Dynasty?Can things that cannot be solved in the past dynasties really be solved?

More than two years ago, Xiao Ruxun wiped out 30 northern captives in the Battle of Datong, Shanxi. The northern captives who were killed were terrified. Up to now, the northern captives have never dared to go south. .

After the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the frontier troops were prepared, and the frontier defenses became more and more stringent. I had never heard of any incidents of northern captives at the frontier. Compared with the previous border wars in the next year, the massacre really had a great effect. The northern captives still dare not go south.

"I wish Your Majesty the victory, complete eradication of the northern captives, and an immortal feat!"

Mu Changzuo is very good at speaking beautiful words, which makes Xiao Ruxun very happy.

When Xiao Ruxun was happy, he had a lot of ideas.

"I heard that Duke Mu likes to read military books and is good at the art of war. In the past, when the Dongwu Kingdom went north to the border, Duke Mu also fought against the bandits in Dongwu and won a victory. In this way, the origin of the Mu family's family history must be the same for the five sons of Duke Mu. Everyone has their own skills, right?"

When Xiao Ruxun said this, Mu Changzuo's heart jumped wildly.

The five sons of the Mu family didn't know what the emperor meant.

"This... Your Majesty, the five ministers are so stubborn that they may not be of much use."

Xiao Ruxun smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you are stubborn, as long as you are willing to learn, work hard, and endure hardships, the Mu family may not be able to produce another hero like Mu Wangying in the future. Before Mu Wangying conquered Yunnan, he was also the one who killed the northern captives in the Northern Expedition. , shouldn’t the descendants of the Mu family learn from their ancestors and actively kill the enemy and serve the country?”

Mu Changzuo didn't know how to react to what Xiao Ruxun said.

Xiao Ruxun turned his attention to the five sons of the Mu family.

"You are also men who are indomitable. Don't you want to rely on the merits of your ancestors to stay at home for a lifetime, relying on the shadow of your ancestors for a lifetime, doing nothing and making no achievements?"

The five Mu family sons looked at each other in blank dismay.

Except for the fifth child, the other four shouted in their hearts.

Yes I do!Why not!The merits of our ancestors are so great, and they are left for us to enjoy. Our fate is so good, and our reincarnation skills are so good. Born in such a family, we just want to be a noble son, eat and sleep for the rest of our lives. Who would want to go out? Running around!
If you have free time, you can read, write, write and draw landscapes, and if you have nothing to do, you can go for a walk with birds, go shopping and tease some good women.
They shouted in their hearts!

Only Lao Wu, who is still relatively young, doesn't think so.

He hesitated for a moment, but called out anyway.

"I do not want to!"

With this shout, Mu Changzuo and his four brothers all looked at him with horrified eyes.

Old five!You are going to die!

Xiao Ruxun looked at the youngest son of the Mu family with great interest.

"Oh? You don't want to? You want to make a career?"

"Yes! Your Majesty! I don't want to be at home every day! That's too boring! I want to learn more! I want to make meritorious deeds!"

The fifth child of the Mu family completely ignored the horrified eyes of his family members, and uttered bold words in front of Xiao Ruxun.

"Not bad, I didn't expect the Mu family to have a descendant like you, please name me!"

"Return to Your Majesty, Mu Hai!"

Mu Laowu's face was full of vigor.
