    Beijing!

    There is a large cradle in the study room of Qianqing Palace. Inside, there are two chubby babies, one big and one small. The older one is Zhu Cishuo, born to Queen Zhang Yan, and the younger one is Zhu Cican, born to imperial concubine Ning Xi!

    Cheng Yuyan¡¯s main job now is to help Zhang Yan and Ning Xi take care of themselves, while Juliana has changed from Zhu Youxiao¡¯s personal secretary to the personal wet nurse of the two young ancestors!

    Of course Juliana can¡¯t do the breastfeeding thing. She mainly manages a group of palace maids and wet nurses to serve the two little ancestors!

    Zhu Youxiao had a big cradle made after his two sons were born. He took the two children with him every day, handling state affairs in the study and working as a part-time dad to take care of the children!

    The women in the harem found Zhu Youxiao's behavior ridiculous, but the ministers in the court felt a little confused. After all, there was only one throne. The emperor Zhu Youxiao had two sons with him. Which one did he prefer?  , this is a big problem!

    Zhu Youxiao didn't care about this. In his words: "Both sons are my flesh and blood, how can there be any difference between them? I just want to keep them with me, and I will take them with me again in the future!"

    There was nothing anyone could do about Zhu Youxiao's unreasonable behavior, so the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government did not care about it. Anyway, looking at Zhu Youxiao's lively appearance, he didn't look like a short-lived ghost.  Let¡¯s talk about what happens next!

    "Sun Aiqing, come and see Wang Hua and Han Siwen's notes!" Zhu Youxiao said with a smile while rocking the cradle and looking at his two sleeping sons!

    Sun Chuanting took the two memorials from Zhu Youxiao and handed them to Sun Chengzong!

    Sun Chengzong opened the memorial and read it, frowning slightly and said: "They are really Meng Lang, how can they cut off the Korean royal family?"

    In the memorial written by Wang Hua and Han Siwen to Zhu Youxiao, Wang Hua admitted that he led troops disguised as remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty, attacked Seoul, and slaughtered the Korean royal family and officials!

    Subsequently, Wang Hua¡¯s men, still wearing the clothes of the Hou Jin soldiers, went to North Korea to hunt down the remnants of the North Korean royal family and officials, and they would not stop until they wiped out all the North Korean elites!

    Han Siwen's memorial was even more interesting. He confessed that he had seen Wang Hua's intentions, but in order to cooperate with Wang Hua, he took the initiative to lead all the military police to pursue the defeated Hou Jin soldiers, thus allowing Wang Hua to attack the Korean royal family and officials.  The massacre!

    It is difficult for a traditional civil servant like Sun Chengzong to accept their approach. After all, North Korea has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years. During this period, North Korea has always been respectful to the Ming Dynasty, but now it surrendered because of Li Hui.  After Jin Dynasty destroyed North Korea, Sun Chengzong felt that it was a bit of a fuss!

    But Zhu Youxiao would not think so. It can be said that neither of the two small countries on the peninsula is good in later generations. Now the entire peninsula is directly included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, in order to avoid future troubles!

    So after Sun Chengzong tactfully expressed his dissatisfaction with Wang Hua and Han Siwen, Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said: "They are indeed a little hasty. I will decree to demote them to one rank and keep them for observation!"

    Sun Chengzong thought: "What's the difference between this and no punishment?"

    However, Sun Chengzong still smiled on the surface and said: "Since your Majesty has made a decision, I won't say anything more!"

    Zhu Youxiao looked at the two children sleeping soundly in the cradle, stood up and said, "Does Sun Aiqing think that I am making a fuss about North Korea in this way?"

    Sun Chengzong also stood up and saluted: "North Korea, as a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, has always been submissive. Although Li Hui surrendered to Hou Jin, it was because North Korea was weak. If you think about it, it is understandable. He destroyed North Korea with this excuse. The old minister has always said  I think it¡¯s unbecoming of our Ming dynasty!¡±

    Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Chuanting and asked, "What does Boya (Sun Chuanting's courtesy name Boya) think of this?"

    Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment and said: "Although North Korea is a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, continuing to retain North Korea will actually do more harm than good to our Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, we helped North Korea twice resist the Japanese. Not to mention that our Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses, North Korea only felt reasonable about this.  As expected, in the Battle of Sarhu, although North Korea sent troops, they surrendered directly to Hou Jin. After the North Korean king Li Hui surrendered to Hou Jin, he not only provided Hou Jin with a large amount of food, grass and materials, but also sent troops to assist Hou Jin and our Ming Dynasty.  As an enemy, if North Korea is destroyed, it will be destroyed. It is really no pity!"

    Zhu Youxiao pointed at Sun Chuanting and said with a smile: "Bo Ya has become an old man in the officialdom. He can only say some high-sounding words!"

    Sun Chuanting's face turned red and he saluted, "I have spoken nonsense. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."??¡±

    Zhu Youxiao waved his hands and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but it is all superficial. The reason why I acquiesce to Wang Hua and the others is mainly because I don't want other countries to exist around the Ming Dynasty!"

    As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao walked to the map, pointed to the coastline of the Ming Dynasty and said: "My Ming Dynasty has a long coastline. The Japanese country on the opposite side is already in my possession. North Korea will also be included in my Ming Dynasty territory, and the Nanyang area  We have already captured Manila, and once we finish dealing with Houjin and Mongolia, our Ming Dynasty¡¯s strategic focus will shift there!¡±

    Then Zhu Youxiao pointed to a triangular area across the mountain from the Ming Dynasty and said: "There is also Tianzhu. I plan to let the royal merchants enter Tianzhu first, and at the same time encourage the people to conquer Tianzhu. As long as we occupy Nanyang and Tianzhu, then we will  The food problem of Ming Dynasty will be completely solved!"

    Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and looked at the map for a long time before saying: "If your majesty's grand plan is realized, he will become the first emperor in the ages. But is such an expedition too laborious and costly?"

    Sun Chuanting shook his head and said: "Teacher, please don't forget that your majesty's expeditions have always made money. Moreover, my disciples have also studied Nanyang and Tianzhu. They are both excellent and good places. Nanyang can produce food for four seasons in a year, although Tianzhu is not as good as it."  My Ming Dynasty has half the land, but more cultivated land than my Ming Dynasty. However, the people in these two places are so lazy that they guard their precious land and starve, begging for food with golden bowls. If our Ming Dynasty does not occupy such a good place, it will be occupied by others.  It would be such a pity!¡±

    After listening to Sun Chuanting's words, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but nodded slightly. For a scholar like Sun Chengzong, food is the most important thing for the people. If the food problem of the people of Ming Dynasty can be completely solved by occupying two places, then the war will be  It¡¯s not a big problem anymore!

    Zhu Youxiao then continued: "In my imagination, except for the Later Jin Dynasty and Mongolia, which required large-scale deployment of imperial troops and horses, other conquests, whether in Nanyang or Tianzhu, were mainly conducted by civilian forces. The imperial court only needed to issue decrees and recognize  If we have the right to use the Nanyang and Tianzhu lands occupied by the private sector, then I believe that these two places will soon be included in my Ming Dynasty territory!"

    Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting both nodded to Zhu Youxiao¡¯s words. To be honest, if someone said a year ago that Ming folk power could destroy a country, they would not believe it no matter what!

    But in just the past year, under Zhu Youxiao¡¯s coercion and inducement, the power of private capital in Ming Dynasty has been completely revealed!

    Under the coercion of Zhu Youxiao's iron-blooded policy, the three forces that controlled the wealth of the Ming Dynasty: nobles, gentry, and merchants, set their sights on places outside the Ming Dynasty. The method of grabbing wealth also changed from squeezing farmers to plundering outsiders!

    Not to mention other places, just to attack the Japanese country, the Ming Dynasty actually dispatched only 30,000 guardsmen, and Zhu Youxiao spent less than one million taels of silver on this. However, not only did he completely occupy the Japanese country, but he also  The Japanese country earned more than five million taels of silver!

    These profits are only the first year's profits. In the future, the Ming Dynasty's benefits from the Japanese country will not be less than this amount every year. All this is because private forces participated in the war against the Japanese country!

    The expeditionary force support fleet, which represented civilian forces in the war, also made profits of more than 10 million taels, not including the profits from their occupation of Ezo Island and the ownership of land and minerals on Ezo Island.  !

    Therefore, Sun Chengzong and Sun Chuanting believe that as long as they prove the value of Nanyang and Tianzhu to the vampire-like Daming Maritime Group, these two places will soon become their racecourse!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
