Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 214
From the beginning to the end, no one was talking. The Ming Dynasty was not the Song Dynasty. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they would not be entertained if they yelled cowardly words. Zhu Houzhao also agreed with this point.So what if you are cowardly?Should you be destroyed or should you be destroyed, the Empress Dowager Cixi "measured the material resources of China, and united with the country", what was the result?It's better to simply have some backbone.

A country, a nation must have the backbone and integrity of "I would rather die standing than live on my knees".

Of course, some people definitely don’t exist. Whether it’s this era or later generations, Zhu Houzhao’s approach to such people is very simple and he doesn’t care. Annihilation in a double sense of the spirit.

After the morning court, Zhu Youtang took his son back to his palace again, and Zhu Houzhao also followed. It was obvious that his father had something to say to him.

After returning to the back, the father and son sat down, and the warm tea was brought up. After Zhu Youtang took a sip, he raised his head to look at his son, and then said, "This time you go to the northwest, the food and supplies will be heavy, and the father will meet you." I will prepare it for you later, the imperial court has accumulated some money and food in the past few years, it should be enough for this battle."

Zhu Houzhao looked at his father in surprise, he didn't expect that his father came to him to talk about this.

Seeing his son's strange eyes, Zhu Youtang became angry immediately. He put the teacup on the table angrily, and said to his son, "What are you looking at? You trained soldiers three years ago, and I knew there was such a thing." It’s been a day. Do you think I don’t want to fight? I’m just afraid that those people won’t be able to win. What has Daming’s army looked like since the Tumubao?”

"You are fighting in the northwest, although the royal father is very worried. Knowing that you are going to go this time, the royal father will also be worried. But now that the country has surplus money and the Black Dragon Army is strong, I feel guilty if I don't fight at this time."

"I really want to avenge Tumubao's revenge!"

Although Zhu Youtang said these words very lightly, Zhu Houzhao could hear the complexity in his father's heart, without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Father, don't worry, my son will clean up the grasslands when he goes to the northwest, and guarantee The Northwest has been stable for ten years, and within ten years, no one in the Northwest will dare to invade the territory of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Houzhao's words were resounding, and Zhu Youtang naturally understood the meaning of his son's words, but he still said, "Don't let yourself get into a dangerous situation."

Gently nodding his head, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, my son will not fight this time."

His Royal Highness has left, and the courtiers who got the news were a little hesitant, so he left?How did you go so fast?Our memorial has just been written!Besides, the [-] army is traveling, plus the auxiliary soldiers and supplies, this is [-]. Is the food and grass ready so soon?Such hasty dispatch of troops is not good!
Compared with the ministers who don't know what's going on outside, the important ministers in the court know better, such as the three great scholars in the cabinet.

Whether it's Liu Jian, the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, Xie Qian, the second assistant university scholar of the cabinet, or Li Dongyang, the cabinet scholar, all three of them know that this battle is not unprepared at all, but has been prepared steadily for three years. year.Since the prince's military training three years ago, His Majesty has begun to prepare for His Royal Highness, although these courtiers are not very clear.

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, but the three cabinet scholars are very clear, such as the granary along the way.

From the capital all the way to the northwest, many Changping warehouses were built in the cities along the road. Everyone knows the function of Changping warehouses. They are granaries set up by the imperial court to adjust grain prices and store grain for shortages to supply official needs and people's food.It is mainly to use the law of value to adjust the grain supply and give full play to the role of stabilizing the market value of grain.

When the market price of grain is low, appropriately raising the price of grain and conducting large-scale purchases will not only fill the warehouses of the imperial court to store grain, but also fill the warehouses in the border counties.When the market price of grain is high, the price is appropriately lowered for sale.This measure not only avoids "cheap grain hurts farmers", but also prevents "grain expensive hurts people".

Changping warehouses have been done in all dynasties, and the imperial court is no exception. A few years ago, the imperial court had no money, let alone building new Changping warehouses, and even couldn't maintain the original Changping warehouses.

But three years ago, when the imperial court started to get rich, His Majesty focused his attention on Changping granaries, and built a lot of Changping granaries, [-]% of which were in the line from the capital to the northwest. These granaries are now full. .There is a large amount of grain and fodder stored in it, which is unknown to outsiders, but the three of them know it very well.

From this point of view, you are military rations. Why are you hoarding military rations from the capital to the northwest? It is not for fighting in the northwest, but for a big war.

Reminiscent of His Highness the Crown Prince's great victory in the Northwest, as well as his continuous military training, the answer is naturally ready to come out.

The three people knew what was going on, but it was impossible for the three of them to object, and it was impossible for the three of them to speak out. The first objected, and His Majesty supported it. His Royal Highness won a great victory in the northwest. After investing so much money and energy, His Majesty even asked His Royal Highness to Dominate the Beijing camp, can you object if you object?It is useless except to disgust His Majesty.

Not only His Majesty, but also the prince, unless you don't want to be this official anymore, you are saying that the emperor is diligent and thrifty, and the prince is respectful and respectful.

Northwest has won with five thousand against ten thousand, and it is hard not to win this time. If he can really reproduce Taizong's old view, then he will be a famous minister of ZTE.Much of this confidence also comes from His Royal Highness the Prince.First of all, His Royal Highness is a humble and respectful person, and has profound knowledge in martial arts. Not to mention his own bow and horse riding and archery, his military training is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In addition, of course it was the First World War in the Northwest. His Royal Highness had five thousand against ten thousand, and almost wiped out the fire. Under such circumstances, he naturally had more confidence in His Royal Highness.

Zhu Houzhao is not worried about the affairs of the court. Firstly, his father is not an incompetent emperor, and secondly, the three cabinet scholars promoted by his father have no ability. Sitting in town, it is naturally worry-free.Zhu Houzhao's eyes were all focused on the Northwest War this time, not only to fight, but also to win beautifully.

After leaving the capital, Zhu Houzhao felt how much his father had prepared for him. The granaries filled in various places and the prepared grain and grass could be called at any time.

The army ate all the way, and ate all the way back after the battle, and the rest could be transported to the front line. The food and grass were enough for Zhu Houzhao to fight in the northwest until winter, that is, he could fight for a whole year.Looking at the soldiers carrying grain and grass, Zhu Houzhao felt quite emotional in his heart. If father and son are of one heart, they must be invincible.
