Chapter 311 New Era

Chapter 311 New Era

"Your Majesty!"

"After a joint discussion by the Privy Council, it was believed that it would be easy to repel the Burmese people, but the difficulty of destroying them has three difficulties:

First, from February to April, Burma is extremely hot, but from April to September, it often rains heavily;

Second, the air of miasma in Burma is too heavy;

Third, the terrain at the border between Burma and Yunnan is complex;

The previous dilemma will make it difficult for the army to stay in Burma even if it captures Burma;

The last difficulty will bring many dangers to Burma. It is not easy for the army to conquer these dangers. The key is that after Fei Bing takes his life and has to retreat to avoid the scorching heat, he will have to spend more time in the future if he wants to take it back again. Many lives were lost. "

"But the ministers think that Myanmar and Yi should be destroyed."

As Fang Fengshi spoke, he gave his conclusion after the Privy Council deliberated.

Except for Shen Shixing, all the ministers in power present looked at Fang Fengshi in astonishment.

Since it is indestructible, why should it be destroyed again?

Zhu Yijun was calm and sat back on the throne.

Fang Fengshi turned around and reported to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty Qizuo, this dynasty occupies almost all the places in the world that are the richest and most suitable for population reproduction! Withdraw from the Burmese and Yi, the Burmese and Yi will still invade again, because once the population of the country grows, apart from looting the dynasty, the only thing left to do is to destroy the country."

"The population is growing."

"If you can't encroach on the fertile land of other countries, you can only perish the country."

"There are also hidden worries brought about by population growth in this dynasty!"

"Master Shen's seven things, in a nutshell, are to solve the problem of population growth."

Zhu Yijun suddenly became serious, and took a serious look at the officials present.

"What Your Majesty said is that this is also the reason for the reform."

"This dynasty also has to open up new fertile lands and create new sources of profit in order to solve the hidden worries brought about by population growth."

"This is another reason why the Privy Council believed that Myanmar should be destroyed. If it does not have the ambition to rule the world, it will be in danger of perishing the country. This is the so-called Qin sweeping Liuhe without subjugating the country, but after sweeping Liuhe, he wants to build the Great Wall to defend himself, but instead subjugates the country. The reason is also!"

"Of course!"

"Opening up frontiers is not a simple matter of war. It requires a combination of odds and positives, a combination of offensive and defensive, vertical and horizontal alliances, and gradual progress. Only in this way can the opening up of frontiers not become militarism and cause the country to die due to strength."

"As for the plan to destroy Burma."

"When I was in charge of the Privy Council for the first time, I would use Yin Gong (Yin Zhengmao), a soldier from Wennan, to select Han and Miao warriors from Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and Guangdong who were heat-resistant and not afraid of the dangerous miasma in the mountains. In Burma and Jiaozhi, they draw mountains and rivers, and choose places where they can set up walled cities to defend themselves. In this way, during wartime, they can take shortcuts to quickly pacify the barbarians, and during non-wartimes, they can quickly build strongholds for defense. Today, the commander-in-chief Liu Ting and others lead their troops for this purpose. The soldiers are brave, so it will not be difficult to repel the Burmese and Yi this time, and if we want to destroy the Burmese and Yi, there will be no permanent troops."

Fang Fengshi talked eloquently, pouring out all the military strategies that Zhang Juzheng had kept in his heart since his death.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Qing has prepared for this day!"

"I am ashamed that I did not express my feelings to the king in time."

Fang Fengshi bowed his hands and pleaded guilty.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "I said I won't pursue it anymore! I also know that many of you are watching my determination, but is the world really ruled by my Zhu family? If you don't do it, you dare not take the initiative For what?"

"It's the minister who is cowardly!"

At this time, Shen Shixing got up and replied, and said:

"However, Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, instead of saying that after the population grows, this dynasty needs to swallow up the fertile land of other countries and raise Li Shu, it is better to use the kingly way to educate the barbarians, so that the people who know the etiquette and produce well will replace those who do not know the etiquette. And let the immoral be wiped out, so that the world will be peaceful forever!"

"My minister agrees!"

"The new etiquette lies in proclaiming the world, not just observing the etiquette and morality;"

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and it is his duty to proclaim the ceremony to the world!"

"Thus, the dynasties that did not think about proclaiming the rites often died because of their mediocrity; while the dynasties that only proclaimed their power and did not proclaim the ceremonies died because of military violence. The wind of virtue and courtesy will be created."

Yu Youding said: "The old minister thinks that Burma should be destroyed, but it is just as Fang Shuxiang played. To destroy Burma, we need to follow etiquette and virtue."

Zhu Yijun nodded and looked at Zhu Geng: "In the daily notes, we must pay attention to this sentence. The king of China has the duty to proclaim the ceremony to the world, otherwise he will be incompetent and foolish!"

Zhu Geng bowed his hands and said yes.

Yu Youding couldn't help straightening his chest for a moment, and exchanged a glance with Pan Cheng.

"I'm ready!"

"The extermination of Burma is now the number one state matter in terms of military affairs!"

"All the governors of the Zhengshitang must work together to achieve this achievement, so that I can invite you to come to the Lingyan Pavilion of this dynasty in the future!"

Zhu Yijun said very solemnly at this time.

Shen Shixing, Fang Fengshi and others hurriedly cupped their hands: "I dare not disappoint Your Majesty!"

"Qizou Your Majesty, since you want to destroy Burma, please use the name of destroying Burma to order Annan, the chieftains in the southwest, and even North Korea to send troops to destroy Burma for the Celestial Dynasty!"

Qi Jiguang, who is also the ruling secretary of Zhengshitang, suddenly stood up and put forward his own ideas.

And next.

Qi Jiguang went on to explain: "If Annan and the chieftains in the Southwest do not follow, it is just right to reform their land and return to their native land first, and preach the kingly way of etiquette!"

"It's just that, it will take longer for the strategy to destroy Burma to succeed;"

"If they are willing to send troops, they can use their strength to make the strategy of destroying Burma more likely to succeed, especially the soldiers of Annan, Siam and the chieftains in the southwest. Those who live in a place full of miasma, if they can be used by the Celestial Dynasty, will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

"Ji Guogong's words are very true. The decree to send troops must clearly state that all ministers belonging to this dynasty should be ordered by the imperial court to attack the country without morality; otherwise, they will be accused of treason!"

Zhu Yijun nodded his head and said.

"Qizou Your Majesty, since Burma is going to be destroyed, I ask you to open the sea again, and use the navy as a partial division to attack Burma by sea, so as to block the way back!"

"I once wrote "A New Examination of Sea Transport" because I wanted to ask the imperial court to open sea transportation. When writing this book, I sent people to the sea to ask the smuggling ships of Han and Yi, and checked all the sea routes in the world. As far as I know, it is possible to navigate in After Siam, they can directly reach the rich land behind Myanmar and Yi by land; therefore, the imperial court can attack Burma by sea, and at the same time, it will also help Siam and the Celestial Dynasty to attack Myanmar and Yi by sea!"

Liang Menglong also got up to play at this moment.

"Let's play it together! The Political Affairs Hall will discuss it accordingly and let the Privy Council follow it."

Zhu Yijun nodded.

Attacking Burma by sea is a new way of thinking, and there are conditions for its implementation, because Siam in this era is indeed very loyal to Ming Dynasty, and in history, it even raised troops and was called to be King Qin of the Ming Dynasty.

But now, Myanmar always wants to annex him, which also puts a lot of pressure on him.

If Ming Dynasty united with Siam to attack Burma by sea, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to stabbing Burma from the back.

Of course, this also allowed Daming to take this opportunity to intervene in the situation in the entire Indochina Peninsula.

Zhu Yijun had to admit that he didn't in vain guarantee that these civil servants and military generals who had reformed with Zhang Juzheng did have excellent insights in seeking the country.

If he really liquidated Zhang Juzheng and deposed these people from the court, he would obey the wishes of those Qingliu conservative factions.

Now in the court, it should be like the original history, which revolves around the struggle for power and profit between the cabinet and the bureaucracy. As for reform and layout of the world, it is no longer important.

"In terms of government affairs, how does Master Shen plan to carry out your seven reforms?"

After discussing military affairs, Zhu Yijun asked Shen Shixing about government affairs.

Shen Shixing got up and replied: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I will first focus on the unfinished plan of enlightening Dongying when the Taishi was in power, and start the seven reforms! As for enlightening Dongying, the first thing to do is to open more post roads and Move the Han people there."

"Very good! Dongying must operate well, and there must be no more gains and losses, just like the abolition of the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi during the Xuanmiao."

After Zhu Yijun nodded and said, he said: "It's getting late, so let's stop here today! Although everything is waiting to be done, it's not suitable to be overworked, but to take a proper rest and retire."

"Yes!"

Under the evening sun.

The vermilion walls and eaves of Qianqing Gate are more and more brilliant like the morning glow.

At that time, Shen Shixing, Fang Fengshi, Qi Jiguang, Zhang Xueyan, Liang Menglong and others all walked out with the help of Hu and went down the jade steps.

Zhu Yijun stood in Qianqing Palace and watched this scene. The sunlight stretched his shadow very long, and his crown shone brightly.

Originally in the original history, many people would no longer have contact with the emperor at this time.

Qi Jiguang, who practiced combined combat with infantry, cavalry, and soldiers in Jizhou, would be transferred to Guangdong by the officials, and then impeached and dismissed by the officials, and finally died in depression.

Fang Fengshi will resign and go home.

Zhang Xueyan will be scolded by officials because he is regarded as Zhang Juzheng's remnant party.

Liang Menglong, who proposed the reform of shipping, was also dismissed because he was impeached by the officials for bribing Feng Bao, and he did not even have a posthumous posthumous title after his death.

But in this life, the Wanli era after Zhang Juzheng's death is really different.
