"The chief military officer of Liaoyang, Chen Ze, wept with blood and submitted a report: In order to increase the number of Manka troops and do things to resist the barbarians.
I heard that state affairs have priorities, so when the Lord governs the world, he chooses those who are urgent and serious first, and those who are gentle and easy later. He coordinates and plans everything, so that everything is smooth. The most urgent and serious thing today is nothing more than border defense. Border defense is the most important.
, the first is to resist the barbarians. Only resisting the barbarians can protect the environment, and only protecting the environment can ensure the safety of the people. The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is to consolidate the peace of the country. The barbarians are like beasts, if they fear me as strong, they will be as obedient as dogs; if they see me as weak, they will be as ferocious as wolves.
.Therefore, the way to control barbarians is to attack them if they are ferocious, to appease them if they are submissive, and then the borders will be safe.
Today there are red-haired barbarians, the most ferocious and stubborn among the barbarians! They live in a small land and devour the world with whales. They have the heart of a jackal and despise China. They use the power of boats and cannons to attack and plunder all directions, destroying dozens of countries. The former invaded Taiwan.
, was expelled by His Majesty, and now he is rampant in Manlajia, conquering and extorting money, causing trouble to all countries.
The land of Manlajia connects the east and west, and merchant ships all pass through here. It is truly a chokepoint! Your Majesty is as discerning as a candle and knows the importance of it. He has envoys as military advisers to contact other countries to resist the red-haired barbarians. He is actually prepared for rainy days and secures the land.
The move of Xinjiang.
However, the soldiers of various countries are mixed, good and bad, each with their own agenda, and it is difficult to control their affairs. Although I am an advisor, it is difficult to control the army. In the battle of Ganba Village, I originally planned to annihilate the enemy by the Ningyi River, but the barbarian chieftain was treacherous and escaped overnight.
, the commander-in-chief, relying on his bravery and bravery, did not listen to his ministers, and pursued rashly, causing the division to collapse and the offensive and defensive momentum to be difficult.
I think that in order to reverse the decline, we must increase our troops. The soldiers of various countries are too weak to be used, but our army of heaven can shoulder the responsibility. One hundred thousand native soldiers, how can we compare with three thousand of heaven's troops? I dare you, please allocate three thousand of heaven's troops.
Lead it and fight again with Mankajia. If you fail to win, you will be willing to accept the axe.
Some people say that a thousand-mile expedition wasted money and food, but if you get this choke point, what you get is more than just money and food? Nothing is completely beneficial, and there is no total harm. The power is determined by the amount of harm. The affairs of the world are planned by the crowd and decided by the alone.
Your Majesty, it is appropriate for the world to be decisive, to attack the south, to attack the wild barbarians, and to eliminate the hidden dangers. This is a blessing to the world! With a humble talk, I am begging for the Holy Spirit."
??
In his memorial, Chen Ze placed all the responsibility for the defeat of Ganba Village on Ibrahim and other vassal generals, saying that he was only an adviser and had no authority to command troops. He originally formulated a strategy to annihilate the enemy on the banks of the Ningyi River.
, but the commander-in-chief, relying on his bravery and bravery, pursued rashly, which led to a huge defeat.
He completely forgot that when he first surrounded the Dutch army in Gamba Village, he praised the commander-in-chief Ibrahim as the reincarnation of Sun Wu and the rebirth of Wu Qi. Now that he was defeated, he became "relying on his blood and bravery and rashly pursuing". In short
, people have two skins, pick the one that is beneficial to you.
He also said that the combat effectiveness of the native soldiers was worthless, saying, "One hundred thousand native soldiers are not as good as three thousand heavenly soldiers?" He also volunteered and asked the emperor to allocate 3,000 Ming troops to him. He was willing to fight Mankajia again. If he couldn't win,
, willing to accept military law.
Seeing this, Zhu Hengjia shook his head.
A few days ago, when the war was going smoothly, you boasted about your strategy and command. Now that you are defeated, you are just an advisor and have no power to command the army. Chen Dadao, Chen Dadao, I always thought you were a good man, why are you so old?
I am old and no longer responsible?
Can Mankajia be captured by sending three thousand Ming troops? Do you think that majestic city is made of paper? Furthermore, that place is the lifeblood of the East India Company. If they really occupy that place, they will definitely fight against the Ming Dynasty. No end! Once this battle is fought, it will be a big war, and the money spent will be gone. If I have the financial resources, do I still need to let those vassal countries come forward?
Alas! Chen Ze doesn’t understand my heart!
The old emperor suddenly wanted to test the crown prince Zhu Ruofeng's ability to govern, and sent a decree to announce his entry into the palace.
The matter of establishing King Zhu Ruofeng of Yu as the crown prince was handled in a calm manner.
Zhu Hengjia first promoted a group of confidants of the King of Yu, promoting Zhang Luxiang to the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Wan to the censor of Youqiandu, Wang Guoxi to the chief soldier of Jinwu Town, Chen Shangchuan to the chief soldier of Xiaoqi Town, and Li Shiyuan to the chief soldier of Fujun Town. Soldier.
Then, the King of Yu was ordered to worship Zheng Feng, the great scholar of Wenhua Palace, Qiwen, the official historian of Dian Kingdom, and Tang Zhen, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, as his teachers.
Then, Huang Guifei, the mother of King Yu, was made the queen. Once the queen was established, Zhu Ruofeng became the legitimate son and the crown prince.
Finally, Zhu Ruofeng was officially canonized as the crown prince.
After the crown prince was established, people inside and outside the court suddenly stabilized.
??
In the Palace of Qianqing, there is a warm atmosphere, and it is a touching scene of a loving father and a filial son.
The old emperor took out one memorial after another and instructed the crown prince Zhu Ruofeng on how to deal with it one by one. Zhu Ruofeng studied hard and asked if he didn't understand. Seeing that his father was tired from sitting for a long time, he even volunteered to rub his old father's back.
Zhu Hengjia was very pleased and secretly thought that it was right to establish his third son as the crown prince. Thinking of the other two sons lost in the coup, he felt sad again. As he got older, someone had to inherit the huge empire! Therefore, he began to pay attention to cultivating the crown prince. , often call Zhu Ruofeng into the palace to handle government affairs, and also ask for his opinion on some major military and state affairs.
"Feng'er, take a look at this memorial." He handed the memorial written by Chen Ze to his son.
After Zhu Ruofeng finished reading, his face became solemn.
"Do you think I should send troops to Mankaka?" the old emperor asked thoughtfully.
"After Your Highness enters the palace, if the Holy One asks you for your opinions on government affairs, please be sure to understand the Holy Will and never make your own decisions." Zhu Ruofeng thought about what his teacher Zhang Luxiang said to him before entering the palace. Dad’s thoughts.
Well, if my father wanted to send troops directly, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now and let some small countries take the lead? Therefore, my father is definitely not willing to send troops directly.
"Father, I think that although Hongyi's army is not as good as our Ming Dynasty, its navy is quite strong. Once the troops are sent, it will inevitably lead to a war, an expedition of thousands of miles, and a huge cost. If the war is delayed, the national strength will definitely be damaged. Therefore, it is not appropriate to send troops directly," he said Answered.
When he heard his son say that he could not send troops, the old father nodded repeatedly and asked: "But now the red barbarians are attacking Batu Saawa, the capital of Johor. If we don't send troops, can we let them destroy the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty?"
Zhu Ruofeng was confident, "I thought that I could let other countries take chestnuts from the great open fire for me. For example, the king of Siam, Pabiraja, obtained the throne by usurping the throne. If he won the country unfairly, he would definitely want to be recognized by other countries, and he also wanted to make military exploits and establish prestige.
If the father orders him to lead the army to join the coalition, he will definitely be willing; in addition, you can also let Aceh participate in the war."
The old emperor was happy, "It is feasible to let Siam participate in the war, but it is difficult to let Aceh participate in the war! The King of Aceh, Ratu Safiatuddin, is very cunning. I have tried to get him to join the war many times, but he has been rejected.
”.
"My father once said, 'There are only eternal interests between countries, but no eternal friendship.' As long as the country of Aceh is given enough benefits, it is still possible for them to participate in the war. Why don't you agree to the Acehnese people and capture the Manchuria?"
Half of the land in Lajia belongs to them?"
Zhu Hengjia's eyes lit up. His son had a good idea. He threw a piece of meat for the Aceh people to chew and first tricked them into getting into the chariot.
He was very pleased that his third son had skill and strategy. In time, he would be a hero. He had a successor!
