Chapter 786 Ping Japanese

It is indeed the end of the year.

After the heavy snowfall, the Bauhinia City, as in previous years, has a different beauty than usual.The white snow covered the red walls and green tiles, and covered up the splendor of the golden walls, making this group of buildings that symbolize power much softer.

Step out of the Qianqing Palace.Yang Reform took a deep breath, letting the cold air penetrate his heart.

"It's so cold!" Yang Reform exhaled.

"Your Majesty, it's better to sit on the chariot, the snow just fell, the ground is very slippery." Wang Chengen said.

"No, let's walk..." Yang Reform rejected Wang Chengen's proposal.

……

Wenhua Hall.

The ministers have long been waiting for the emperor here.

Yang Reform took a look and found that there were still a lot of people there.

After a short salute, they began to talk about serious business.

"As for Yuan Bingbu's leading troops to defeat the Japanese, you can just discuss it." Yang Reform cut to the chase.

The courtiers immediately started discussing strangely.

In fact, the matter of Pingwa has not been discussed in the court for a long time. Because of the conflict with the Wa country, related matters have been discussed before.But this time, it was a little different from before. This time, it was going to be a serious battle, and it was very different from the previous one.

Many of the ministers' eyes and expressions were different.

Chen Yuting was also very helpless.This matter has been discussed earlier, but what the emperor should actually do is still how to do it. Even if everyone disagrees with the emperor's idea, what can the emperor do?When the emperor issued an order, he said that he would seal the flight, and if he said he would help Ryukyu restore the country, he would help the Ryukyu restore the country. Can these ministers control the emperor?With the emperor's order, those people in the south of the Yangtze River who did not get along well with the emperor and relied on overseas trade for a living immediately fell into bad luck. The things they produced in a year, except for selling them at low prices to those who could go to sea, could only rot in the home.

It's not that those people didn't think about it, nor did they think of a way, but the fact is that they are so ruthless. When the ministers in the court heard about this, they just shook their heads, and there was nothing they could do to help them. I don't know anything about the sea affairs, so I tried my best to force the emperor to follow everyone's ideas, but now, who dares to mention that matter to the emperor?A few words from the emperor will make you untenable. The emperor’s understanding of the sea is definitely beyond the vast majority of people. The rhetoric and methods used to deal with the emperor will not work here at all.

The emperor holds Zheng Zhilong, who was born as a pirate, and the sailor who was born out of Mao Wenlong. These two groups are masters who only listen to the emperor's words. They will do whatever the emperor tells them to do. Well, Feng Hang and the others are more happy to come out of their old profession, and rob them according to the order, there is nothing more refreshing than this.

The emperor hit the seven inches of this matter as soon as he made a move, and he didn't give you a chance to struggle. Now in Jiangnan, anyone who has anything to do with the sea, wouldn't they go to the tax bureau to pay taxes?Who dares to say no to the emperor?Isn't that submissive?Now this matter seems to need a good fight, but Chen Yuting knows that there is no need to argue about this matter, and it is useless to argue.

Of course, he, the official opponent, had to come out and put on a show. Who told him to do this?This is also what troubles him, why is he saying that this kind of thing will never succeed?

"Report to Your Majesty, is Your Majesty going to conquer the Japanese country?" Chen Yuting stood up and performed his duties.

"Yes, now that I have my hands free, I want to flatten the country of Wa..." Yang Reform said without hesitation, his domineering spirit had already leaked out inadvertently.

"...Your Majesty, the country of Wa is a country that will not be conquered..." Chen Yuting could only pick up these old rotten grains to perfunctory.

"Hehehe, well, the Qing family shouldn't use these excuses to talk about things. The country of non-conquest was established at the time of Taizu. If the country of Wa has always been respectful to me, there will be no such thing today. It's a pity , things backfired, and Taizu would never have imagined that Wa would do so many evil things to our court. If Taizu knew that Wa was such a thing, he would be the first to destroy Wa..." Yang Reform posted laughed.

"Your Majesty is right..." Chen Yuting secretly sighed, why did he come to do this?It's really unreasonable to say it in vain!

"...Your Majesty, I think that if a large army presses the border, I'm afraid it will cost a lot..." Another minister stood up and said, the minister's tone was not powerful, and it seemed that he came out reluctantly to perfunctory.

Seeing that someone spoke for him, Chen Yuting felt relieved. He was not in vain, at least he had a few obedient people to help him, so that he wouldn't be too embarrassed.

"For wasting money, after a couple of years of exploration, I already have a rough budget, and it won't have any impact on things outside the customs or at home..." Yang Reform said again.Yang Reform did a lot of preparations for Pingwo.

The person who came out to help Chen Yuting out of the siege helped Chen Yuting out of the siege and completed his task, so he didn't intend to say more, and he bowed his hands and resigned, saying that he had nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, regarding the fight against the Japanese, I think that to deal with the small Japanese country, there is no need for the Secretary of the Ministry of War to go out in person. The small Japanese country is not worthy of my court's mobilization of troops..." A minister said so.

The minister's words attracted the attention of many people.

How is this going?Is this going to compete for the Pingwa?This feng shui turned so fast!
Han Yu became anxious. He didn't expect that someone would come out to argue about this matter. This is a tailor-made job for his student!It is specially used for brushing up his students' resumes!How can anyone argue with this?How can someone fight over this?This is too shameless.

Yuan Chonghuan was also taken aback, what happened?When he didn't show up, he didn't talk about it. He came out and broke the story, so he came to grab it?The wicked do it themselves, and the benefits are taken by others?
Yang Reform just smiled and said nothing.

The atmosphere in the hall immediately became weird.

Chen Yuting looked sideways, why did this matter get into an argument?He was also going to oppose the matter of Yuan Chonghuan leading troops to fight the Japanese, and now this is a fight?That being the case, there is no need for him to come out and be this villain.

The atmosphere in the hall was awkward and weird.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say..." Someone broke the "calm" atmosphere.The person who spoke was Bi Ziyan.

"Oh, what does the Qing family have to say?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, although I have always called the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom, as if the Wa Kingdom is vulnerable, as far as I know, it is not impossible for the population of the Wa Kingdom to be in the millions, or even tens of millions. Hai Neng dispatched tens of thousands of horses to fight for several years. How can this be done by a small country? Your Majesty, the fight against the Japanese is definitely not as easy as imagined, nor is it as simple as imagined! Your Majesty, I think It is a positive number to fight against Japan with the post of supervisor or governor..., Your Majesty, you must not underestimate the country of Japan..." Bi Ziyan came out to rescue Yuan Chonghuan, and the way of relief was also special. From the perspective of population , which shows that the country of Wa should not be underestimated, which is definitely in line with his true qualities.

The ministers looked sideways again, Bi Ziyan.

"Hehehe, this is true. I have been registering for the Wa country for the past two years. Although I don't know as well as Donglu, and even counted people, I still understand a lot. Although there is a difference in the population, the difference is not too far. From the population point of view, the Japanese country cannot be underestimated. To fight the Japanese, I still have to use my best skills..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

After hearing what the emperor said, all the officials had black lines on their foreheads.The matter of registering the enemy's household registration is probably something that the emperor can do. It is simply the style of the king of the underworld to count the population of the Donglu to the family, to the household, to the person, and to die one by one.Unexpectedly, now Wa country also enjoys this treatment.Thinking about the end of being an enemy of the emperor is that the emperor took a notebook and ticked off names one by one, thinking about it made me feel cold.

At the court meeting, there was another awkward silence.

"Yuan Qing's family, since you insist on going to Pingwo, do you have any plans for Pingwo?" Yang Reform asked, in order to ease the atmosphere, Yang Reform asked something else.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that Pingwa is a major event for my court. As Your Majesty said, I need to do my best, and I must do my best. There must be no slack in the slightest, and I must not give the Wa Kingdom the slightest chance to turn around. Your Majesty I thought that this time Pingwa could only win, not lose..." Yuan Chonghuan stood up and said.

"...Well, it makes sense, let's continue." Yang Reformed.

"...The battle of Pingwa was different from the battle on land. The country of Wa was located in the depths of the sea, and the supplies and troops for the battle were all carried by boats. In the battle against Japan, we still need to have powerful warships..." Yuan Chonghuan began to explain this matter in a logical manner.

"...Well, it makes sense, continue..." Yang Reform said.

"...The battle of Pingwa is also different from the battle on land, so it cannot be estimated according to the same method of fighting on land. It is by no means that once the army arrives, the country of Japan will be wiped out. This is almost impossible. To defeat the Japanese war, we must have tactics and strategies suitable for naval warfare..." Yuan Chonghuan continued.

"...Well, it makes sense, the Qing family went on to say..." Yang Reformed.

"...Your Majesty, logically speaking, the country of Wa is not small, and it has almost [-]% of the population of my dynasty. A tie with the Wa country, with [-]% of the strength, is almost likely to win,..." Yuan Chonghuan explained.

"...Well, it makes sense... let's continue..." Yang Reform is much clearer than Yuan Chonghuan about these things, and he said these things for the ministers to hear.

"...and the country of Wa is located in the depths of the ocean, and it is not on the border with our dynasty. If we want to fight against the country of Wa, if we want to fight on equal footing with the country of Wa, I am afraid that the actual strength we will use must be more than [-]%. If there is a chance of winning, I am afraid that I will use [-]% to [-]% of my strength..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"...Well, there is a certain truth to this. Crossing the ocean does require a lot of extra damage..." Yang Reformed.

"...But, the war outside the customs is still going on, and in order to completely subside, there are still natural disasters in the country, so it is impossible to expend so much energy to fight against Japan... Otherwise, it will definitely drag me down..." Yuan Chonghuan said .

"...It makes sense, let's continue..." Yang Reform said.

"...Therefore, I believe that the battle against Japan cannot be equated with the war of overthrowing the country, and it is impossible to overwhelm the country with a large army. We can only use tricks..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"...It makes sense. If I remember correctly, Kublai Khan, Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, seemed to have used a lot of people to conquer the Japanese. It seems that the result was not very good. Now I am going to conquer the Japanese, but I have to learn a lesson... ..." Yang Reform said.

Speaking of Kublai Khan's failure in conquering the Japanese, the officials became a little commotion again. Many people had doubts and worries on their faces, and many people were even ready to stand up again to persuade the emperor.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, I failed to conquer the Japanese that year, and I have learned a lesson. Therefore, this time, I must not make the mistakes of the past again, and must not use tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of horses to fight the Japanese kingdom..., this It's what I said to be tricky..." Yuan Chonghuan's voice covered the voices of the ministers.

After hearing this, the ministers also fell silent.

"...The Qing family, tell me, how should we play tricks?" Yang Reform asked.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, as far as I know, since the Japanese war with us in Korea, the country's vitality has been hurt, and it seems that the ability to build ships has declined sharply. It’s not as good as my dynasty. Now that the country is closed and the sea is restricted, the standard of warships is even lower, and there are hardly any big ships. Therefore, I think that we should use big ships to fight small ships, strong ships to fight weak ships, and far cannons to fight close cannons. Big cannons fight small cannons, elite soldiers fight weak soldiers, use fast to fight slow, use strong to fight weak..., the land of the Japanese country is surrounded by seas, all it takes is an elite ship to attack everywhere, land at any point, and then attack any weak place The Japanese army is powerless against our court, and there is no other way but to allow our court to slaughter us..." Yuan Chonghuan said in detail.

The ministers began to discuss, although the emperor's intention to conquer the Japanese was not a day or two, but it was the first time for some ministers to really hear the strategy of suppressing the Japanese, and they listened very seriously.

"...Well, it makes sense. If I remember correctly, I was also very afraid of Donglu occupying the grassland and knocking at any point on the side wall. That's why I sent troops to fight Donglu to the death..." Yang Reform cooperated with Yuan Chonghuan Said.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, it is precisely because we still have a thousand-mile side wall and military forts all over the country, so we dare to use the side wall as a defense against enemies outside the pass. But even so, if Donglu really lives in the grassland , and it is still my dynasty's nightmare... I think that the Japanese kingdom has no borders on the sea, the sea is even longer, the soldiers are not as elite as our dynasty, and the national power is not as strong as our dynasty... So, as long as my dynasty is at any point Attacking, the Wa country has no other choice but to be tired of coping. As long as it is repeated several times, the Wa country will definitely not be able to stand it. There is no other way except to ask me for peace... Victory without victory..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

Some ministers talked about it.

"...Well, it makes sense. It is indeed unwise to fight a decisive battle with the Wa Kingdom on land. If it can make the Wa Kingdom exhausted, it can make the Wa Kingdom lose its legs. I think the strength of the Wa Kingdom will decline further... , When the time comes, it will be fatal with one blow... It's not enough, this method alone may not be enough, if you want to subdue the Wa country, it may not be enough to just run overseas..." Yang Reform said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, this is only one of my minister's tactics to Pingwo, and there are other strategies that cooperate with each other to say the word Pingwo..." Yuan Chonghuan said with great confidence.

"Okay, why don't you tell me..." Yang Reform said.

"...Your Majesty, I think that we should learn from our court's method of dealing with the Mongols, establish a maritime imperial alliance army, recruit the imperial association army from the Wa people to assist our dynasty, and then use the Wa people to deal with the Wa people, and let the Wa people themselves The killing of each other can play a role in continuously weakening the Japanese country, and it can also cause internal turmoil in the Japanese country, which is convenient for us to take advantage of the opportunity... In this way, it can play a role in leveraging strength and reduce our investment in the war against Japan. It can greatly save national power..." Yuan Chonghuan said.These words are exactly the words of the emperor, but when he said them, they seemed to be his own sonorous and forceful.

The ministers were commotion again, this time the Battle of Pingwa, from Yuan Chonghuan's mouth, is really different, it is indeed very different from the usual road that everyone is familiar with.

"...Your Majesty, the imperial association army that we used to deal with the Mongols gave the Mongolian Imperial Association Army trade privileges, and used some Mongols to suppress other Mongols. This time we deal with the Wa Kingdom, it should be the same, and it should be given to the Wa Kingdom Emperor. The Xiejun used special trading rights to let the Japanese fight themselves, while I stood by and reaped the benefits of the fisherman, and could achieve the greatest effect with the smallest force..." Yuan Chonghuan continued to explain his strategic vision.

"...Well, it makes sense, let's go on..." Yang Reform said.

By this time, the officials had already understood Yuan Chonghuan's basic strategy for fighting the Japanese kingdom. As soon as Yuan Chonghuan's words came out, the officials almost all understood the meaning of this strategy. They definitely have a deep understanding of the way to deal with the Mongols and engage in the Imperial Association Army.As soon as Yuan Chonghuan said it, they already understood how the war against Japan was fought.

Chen Yuting is really not reconciled, he acts as an opponent of the emperor, he is run on every day, he is a grandson every day, he is scolded by the emperor every day, if he knew what happened to Pingwo, he would have told the emperor a long time ago Pingwa went.

Many ministers have the same appearance as before, and they all look regretful. If I knew it was so simple, who would not want to go?What's the risk?There is no need to go into battle at all, just stand at the back and command to log in here today, and go ashore there tomorrow. This is almost a waste of credit!
"...Your Majesty, and this imperial association army is now ready-made. When Your Majesty helped the Ryukyu Kingdom to restore the country, he once expelled a lord of the Wa Kingdom. It seems to be called Satsuma. It is located at the southernmost tip of the Wa Kingdom, as if surrounded by the sea on three sides. , as far as I know, this place is barren, and even the local daimyos live in poverty. If my dynasty suddenly suppresses the country with elites, he will be caught off guard, and before the Japanese country can react Army,... as long as Satsuma Fan can taste the sweetness of being an imperial alliance army, everything can be done..." Yuan Chonghuan continued.

The ministers regret it, is it that simple?If I had known it earlier, I should have gone by myself, no, I should have recommended my own people to go, this credit is simply obtained...

"Hehehe..., that makes sense. With what the Qing family said, I already have a basic understanding of how to fight the Japanese. The strategy is simple, but it is feasible. It consumes less resources and can achieve higher results." With big fruits, the harvest is greater than the expenditure..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment..." Yuan Chonghuan had been impassioned just now, and he had always spoken impassionedly. At this moment, he blushed. This is the emperor's strategy, and he just used it.

"...Everyone, from what the Yuan Qing's family said, I already know how to defeat the Japanese at a glance. If there is anyone in the Qing family who doesn't understand, you can ask the Yuan Qing's family..." Yang Reform suppressed his hand , said after the officials were quiet.

The regret of the officials, in the eyes of many people, Pingwa is an extremely difficult thing, and the winning rate is even pitifully small, so they are still skeptical about this matter, and almost no one comes out to fight. But now that Yuan Chonghuan talked about this, he realized that the so-called Pingwa was like this. It was not at all that the army suppressed the country and destroyed the country, but tortured the country in circles. It is true that the emperor wants to sell things...

"... Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what is the name of the teacher? Otherwise, it is not easy to explain to the world!..." Chen Yuting sighed secretly, and continued to sing the opposite tune.If he knew what was going on with Hirao, he would have pushed out the people in his hands long ago.

"...Yuan Qing's family..." Yang Reform shouted.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, let's not talk about the Japanese invasion in the distance. After all, it is too far away, but the Korean War did great damage to our dynasty. Millions of people were killed and injured in our dynasty. Tens of millions of expenses for countering the rebellion, all of which have to be counted on the head of the Wa Kingdom, and all of which have to be compensated by the Wa Kingdom..." Yuan Chonghuan said bitterly.

The ministers who knew the inside story were better, while those ministers who didn't know the inside story looked at Yuan Chonghuan in a daze, which was too cruel.Even if this Japanese country sold itself, it would not be able to pay back so much money.Of course, this is a fact, and it is indeed the unanimous understanding of the court.

"...Are you afraid that Wa Kingdom can't afford to pay that much money?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it's one thing not to be able to afford compensation, but for the deaths and injuries of my court people, who should I turn to for the losses of my court? I can't just forget about the deaths and injuries of my court people? I can't lose and consume so much property Forget about the money, I can’t let me bear these pains silently to the people and to myself? Your Majesty, the blood debt must be paid in blood. If you don’t teach the Wa Kingdom a lesson this time, if you can’t pacify the Wa Kingdom, you won’t I know how much damage Wa Kingdom will do to our court next time. Forget it last time, and forget it this time. Is it the same next time? Is my life towards the people not my life? Is the blood flowing in vain?..." Yuan Chonghuan shouted out with anger mixed with resentment.

This shout definitely deafened the courtiers' ears.

"...Your family, you leave the teacher in the name of repaying debts and revenge, do you see any problem?" Yang Reform pressed his hand again, and then said lightly.

The ministers were peeking at each other, this reason was indeed cruel, whoever came out to stop, the emperor didn't want him to come out to compensate those lives?Compensation for those losses?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that there is no problem. Internally, the pain in the hearts of the people can be healed. I think the Japanese country also knows what they have done. This reason is very good internally and externally..." Han Yan looked at an opportunity and said .Han Yu originally thought that he was at a disadvantage in this matter, and it would not be a big problem for the emperor to decide Yuan Chonghuan, but who knows, there should not be too many people who want to fight, so he thought it would be better to confirm Yuan Chonghuan as soon as possible. In Beijing, it is really not safe to stay in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, so it is better to go to other places to exercise more.

"...Well, it makes sense..." Yang Reformed said.

"...Report to Your Majesty, I recommend Chen Shilang from the Ministry of Rites to go to the sea to fight the Japanese..." Some people saw that the matter was almost done, and immediately turned around and started to recommend their own people, but they had the posture not to let Yuan Chonghuan have it all.

"Report to Your Majesty, I recommend Governor Denglai..."

"...Your Majesty, I recommend the head of the Ministry of War..."

In the court hall, there was a commotion.

Yuan Chonghuan Pingwo, although this has some internal meaning, even though Yuan Chonghuan was the first to call it out, but after all, Yuan Chonghuan's position is too high, and it still has a somewhat excessive meaning when he is released to be the supervisor Pingwo. Many people recommend "more suitable" candidates.

On the other hand, Han Yu's face was livid. He was the one who was frightened at the beginning, but now he is also the one who is afraid that things will fail.

Yang Reform made the noisy court meeting noisy for a while, and then suppressed it with his hand.The ministers immediately fell silent.

"...Since this matter was first proposed by Yuan Bingbu, and Yuan Bingbu's strategy is appropriate, it would be inappropriate for me to appoint other people. I will leave this matter to Yuan Bingbu. It is also very important to go to Pingwo Suffering is not something that can be done smoothly, and it may take several years to succeed, everyone, don't think this is too simple..." Yang Reformed the Sacred Judgment.

Hearing what the emperor said, the noisy voices gradually subsided. These people's noise may not be because they really want to fight against Japan, but to join in the fun. There are too many people in the world whose names may never be heard by the emperor. Looking for this kind of opportunity Let the emperor hear the names of certain people, and it may be of unexpected use in the future.

"Yuan Bingbu!" Yang Reformed.

"The minister is here!" Yuan Chonghuan knew that his business of Pingwa was over, and immediately came out respectfully to receive the order.

"The matter of Pingwo is handed over to the Qing family! The Qing family is the Minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy capital censor, the supervisor of Pingwo, the governor of the military affairs of the country of Japan, the governor of the North and South Navy, and knows Tianjin, Dengzhou, Jinzhou, and Shanghai. For military affairs, all ships on the sea north of Ryukyu and Shanghai are under the control of the Qing family..." Yang Reform said.A series of titles are necessary for Shangshu-level figures to lead troops abroad.

"The minister accepts the order!" Yuan Chonghuan immediately knelt down and received the order neatly.

The ministers were in a commotion again. This right is indeed not small. In the future, most of the sea, especially the trade to Japan, will be under the control of this one. His right can definitely be said to be very hot.

"...The suppression of the Japanese this time is something that our dynasty, even the Central Plains dynasties, have not been able to do. The Qing family needs to be careful, and if it succeeds, it will make great achievements..." Yang Reform said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have made a note, and must be careful not to disappoint Your Majesty..." Yuan Chonghuan said.

"...The Qing family will fight the Japanese, and I will give my full support. The warships, ships, personnel, and ports I need will be deployed by the Qing family one by one to help the Qing family..." Yang Reform said again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! Only by doing your best can you express your heart..." Yuan Chonghuan immediately agreed.

"...Okay, I won't say much if I have to say anything superfluous. Since it's still freezing and I can't go to sea, I'll stay in Beijing for now, and sort out this strategy carefully so that I won't be caught off guard at sea..." Yang Reform said.Yang Reform still gave Yuan Chonghuan a lot of rights. Although Yuan Chonghuan is a relatively second-rate person and sometimes does unexpected things, Yang Reform still decided to do so, thinking that after such a long time of training, Yuan Chonghuan should have made some progress , Going to the sea to flatten the Japanese and expand such things still need Yuan Chonghuan, who is aggressive and has the strength to do it.

With Yuan Chonghuan's temperament, giving him such a big official position and such a big right seems to be taking risks, but in reality, there are other benefits. This is almost the right of the navy. The next step, the navy department should be ready to come out Now, the navy and the six ministries are keeping pace, and the Ming Dynasty will be another scene.
