    Regarding Zhu Youxiao¡¯s question, the three veterans were silent again!

    yes!

    Back then, Emperor Yongle sent hundreds of thousands of troops to Jiaozhi, spending nearly three hundred taels of silver on food and money every year. However, all this investment resulted in the loss of troops and generals, and gained nothing!

    In desperation, Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji had to give up Jiaozhi. From this moment on, Yue Nan in later generations completely broke away from China and eventually became a white-eyed wolf!

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    However, the Spaniards, with only twelve warships and two to three thousand soldiers, were able to manage Manila in an orderly manner with very similar geographical location, climate, and population characteristics. This had to make the three veterans think deeply.  !

    "Alas!" After a long time, Sun Chengzong sighed, stood up and bowed deeply: "I am incompetent, please give me some advice!"

    Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui also stood up and saluted. Although they didn't say anything, the meaning could not be more obvious!

    Seeing that the three veterans were so humble, Zhu Youxiao thought to himself: "If I don't convince you today, what I am going to do will definitely not go smoothly. Now let me show you what a dimensionality reduction strike that has traveled five hundred years is!"

    But on the surface, Zhu Youxiao looked modest and said: "Three old dear friends, you are all my ministers. We, the monarchs and ministers, can learn from each other, so why should we give you any advice?"

    Although the three veterans were convinced of Zhu Youxiao's talent and learning, they sneered at Zhu Youxiao's hypocritical appearance: "It sounds nice, but you haven't taught me enough?"

    Zhu Youxiao stopped beating around the bush with them. After asking the three veterans to sit down, he said: "Actually, the biggest difference is that when the Ming Dynasty sent troops to Jiaozhi, we treated the Jiaozhi people as human beings, while the Spanish  Even the Europeans did not regard the indigenous people as human beings in the colonies. It is this difference that makes the Ming Dynasty and Europe have a huge difference in the results of territorial expansion!"

    Upon hearing this, Sun Chengzong suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "Does your Majesty mean that every time the Ming Dynasty captures a land, it must set up officials, stabilize the people, and try its best to make the land under the control of the Ming Dynasty? But the Europeans only know that every time they occupy a land,  They plunder and ignore the local people, so they naturally invest less and get more in return. On the contrary, although I, the Ming Dynasty, invested a lot, but because I have to cover everything, the results are very little!"

    Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "That's exactly the reason!"

    Then Zhu Youxiao stood up, walked to the world map, and said loudly: "Judging from the current situation, the only places in this huge world that can be called civilized places are the Ming Dynasty, Europe, and the Ottoman Empire. The rest are all  They are all barbaric and remote places. Europeans had to embark on the road of great navigation because of poverty. This allowed them to first start exploring the entire world and also gave them an excellent opportunity for development. However, although our Ming Dynasty started out rather than  They are late, but our Ming Dynasty is a unified and powerful empire, and we will definitely catch up in this competition among the nations of the world!"

    At this point, Zhu Youxiao suddenly turned around, with a terrifying look in his eyes, and said coldly: "So I will control the entire Nanyang in my hands within five years, and then march to America by sea, and completely open up our Ming Empire."  of the colonial era!¡±

    Seeing that Zhu Youxiao has such ambitions, the three veterans are also very pleased, because with the guidance of Zhu Youxiao, a wise king, they will definitely be able to leave their names in history. For civil servants, this is the most important thing for them!

    "However, to do this well, our Ming Dynasty still has a stubborn problem that needs to be eliminated. This requires the full cooperation of all parties in the court!" After saying those impassioned words, Zhu Youxiao's expression suddenly softened and he said with some helplessness.  .

    "Your Majesty is concerned about the grassland and Liaodong?" Fang Congzhe asked tentatively.

    "That's right!" Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "If Ming Dynasty wants to expand overseas, it will definitely face joint suppression from European countries. If we are still involved with the grassland and Liaodong at this time, we will definitely fall into a two-front war.  That would be a disaster for Ming Dynasty!"

    Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty is very worried. It seems that if you want to develop overseas with peace of mind, you must first solve the grassland and Liaodong!"

    Zhu Youxiao's eyes flashed when he heard this, he slapped the table and said: "Sun Aiqing really understands what I mean. In order to fully explore overseas, I decided to go on a personal expedition this year when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. We will pacify the grassland and Liaodong in one battle and completely solve our problem."  Ming Dynasty¡¯s northern frontier trouble!¡±

    "The three veterans are all the best among human beings. Listen to this."Zhu Youxiao's words soon became clear. It turned out that the ultimate purpose of this little emperor's nonsense was here!

    Fang Congzhe immediately objected: "Your Majesty, there is no problem in pacifying the grassland and Liaodong. Last year, the grassland and Liaodong experienced white disasters and severe droughts. I, the Ming Dynasty, designed them to kill each other. Since the beginning of winter this year, the grassland and Liaodong have been snowing again.  I think that after next spring, their strength will be severely damaged. Dealing with them at this time can save a lot of effort, but if this matter is left to the Guards and Border Army, why would Your Majesty bother to personally conquer it?"

    Liu Yishen also followed up and said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Fang Ge said is absolutely true. The so-called military danger and war are dangerous. Your Majesty has a body of ten thousand gold. How can you easily get involved in danger?"

    But Sun Chengzong didn't speak at this time. He stroked his beard and squinted his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something!

    Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui looked at the old guy who didn't speak at this time, and they were secretly worried. After all, the little emperor was interested in his own expedition. If they were the only ones who opposed it, they might not be able to suppress it.  So Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui urgently need Sun Chengzong to stop them!

    But what Lao Fang and Lao Liu never expected was that Sun Chengzong said as soon as he opened his mouth: "It's not impossible for Your Majesty to want to lead the expedition in person!"

    "Master Sun, what do you mean? Your Majesty is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, how can you easily control it yourself?"

    "Master Sun said this, but did he forget about the changes in Tumu Fort?"

    Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui shouted almost in unison. Obviously, for them, it is absolutely unacceptable for the emperor to run out to fight at every turn!

    Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Two pavilion elders, please be patient and listen to what I have to say in detail!"

    Fang Congzhe had a cold face, flicked his sleeves and said, "Let's see what you have to say!"

    Not to mention Liu Yishen, his eyes stared at Sun Chengzong as if he wanted to spit out fire!

    Seeing this scene, Sun Chengzong could only smile bitterly and said: "You two elders don't have to be like this. The reason why I feel that your majesty can lead the expedition in person is mainly because of two points! First, Elder Fang has already said that the grassland and Liaodong passed through last year's snow,  The drought, coupled with the Ming Dynasty's plan, has severely damaged our vitality. Now both Lin Dan Khan on the grassland and Jian Nu in Liaodong have lost half of their lives. Attacking at this time is to attack the enemy with weakness.  Our army has at least a 60% chance of winning!"

    Fang Congzhe also felt that what Sun Chengzong said was reasonable, but he still asked with a cold face: "What about the second one?"

    Sun Chengzong smiled confidently and said: "Secondly, after two years of hard work by Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty now has 100,000 elite guards, 100,000 reorganized Beijing troops, 200,000 frontier troops, and the Mongolian tribes that were attached last year  There are more than thirty, plus the three guards of Duoyan have been dealt with by the border troops several times, and they have been completely honest. In this way, we can still piece together 50,000 Mongolian cavalry. With such a strong force against a weak enemy, our army's chance of winning will increase by 40%.  , with such a 90% chance of winning, there won¡¯t be any danger even if His Majesty leads the expedition in person!¡±

    Liu Yishui frowned and asked: "What's the chance of winning even less than 10%?"

    Sun Chengzong said with some helplessness: "There is still one percent that is God's will. God's power is unpredictable, and it is the only one percent that human power cannot predict!"

    Zhu Youxiao said proudly at this time: "I am the emperor, my will is God's will, and the chance of winning is in my hands!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
