Chapter 719: Entering Fusang
Zhu Cixuan pointed to the position next to him. Although Zheng Sen’s affairs were very important, the matter he had been dealt with now, and he could not wait here, so Zheng Sen had to wait for a while.
After about half an incense stick, all the officials in the hall retreated. They also had a question mark in their hearts. They didn't know what the Crown Prince and Zheng Sen were discussing just now, but these matters were not something they could ask about, so they all hurried out. The less they knew, the more they could maintain their current status. What if any news was leaked, would there be less royal silence?
"Then our matters say, I don't have any free time every day."
Zhu Cixuan continued to pick up another memorial in his hand. Although most of the memorials were handled by the Military Affairs Office and the Sixth Ministry, some ministers dared not make decisions without authorization, so they still sent it to Zhu Cixuan. In other words, all the above-mentioned memorials on the table are extremely important. Zheng Sen, who only looked at these extremely important books from here.
Although Zheng Sen also felt sorry for His Highness the Crown Prince, it was different from other ministers. Those people felt sorry for their hearts. What Zheng Sen had to do now is to finish his own business quickly, so that His Highness the Crown Prince could concentrate on doing other things, and not cause trouble for His Highness the Crown Prince in his own affairs. This is the best thing that a minister can do.
"If you want to go back to the Crown Prince, I have finished reading this outline. All the measures are very good. The harassment strategies and food selling strategies implemented at this stage are indeed very classic."
What Zheng Sen said was the truth. This person is different from many court ministers. Those people are purely flattering. Zheng Sen doesn't know what flattering is. What Zheng Zhilong is most afraid of is Zheng Sen's temper. If you talk about ability and other things, Zheng Zhilong thinks that his son can stand in front of the court's civil and military affairs. But if you talk about flattering, you have to pull Zheng Sen behind you and tell the truth in everything you do. This is very offensive. Fortunately, our crown prince likes such people, otherwise it would be difficult to move within the court.
According to Zhu Cixuan's strategy, since Japan is now in a struggle, we have to add more fire to them. The Tokugawa Shogunate is very strong, so we have to send a small fleet to go against the Tokugawa Shogunate.
The opposition is relatively weak, especially lacking food and various weapons. Our treasury has a lot of weapons, which can be brought to them on the one hand to make money, and on the other hand, it can also help us deal with inventory. Otherwise, if it is thrown in, it will only grow old slowly, which will be a considerable loss for the court.
"According to your idea, how big should this small fleet be? It only needs to bring some fear to the top leaders of Fuso and let them cede land and pay compensation. As long as we can get our own foothold around Fuso, it will be natural to occupy the entire Fuso in the future."
The strategy Zhu Ciyang adopted was the strategy of the British and French coalition forces a hundred years later. For land around the world, the number of British and French coalition forces was not very large, but they were able to occupy a large amount of land all over the world, which was closely related to this strategy. What Zhu Ciyang had to do now is to copy their successful experience in advance and bring a colony to the entire Ming Dynasty.
So this battle was not only a matter on the battlefield in Fusang, but also a show for all the navy officers and soldiers to let them see clearly what to do in the future.
"Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, according to the idea of the empress, the number of ships does not need too many. There are more than twenty ships of all sizes, but the number of transport ships must be at least more than thirty."
Zheng Sen did this for his own reasons. Fusang is different from Goryeo. Goryeo is too close to the Ming Dynasty. If you need something, you can deliver it in one or two days at most. But it is different from Fusang. Now if you want to drive the boat over, it will take four or five days or even longer. If you need something urgently, it will be a bit late to go from the Ming Dynasty. Even if you transport it from Goryeo, who can ensure that all kinds of supplies in Goryeo are complete?
Many things were exchanged by Zhu Cixuan. In order to control the generals on the front line, Zhu Cixuan generally would not exchange them a lot. This is also impossible. If someone had a gun in their hands, the situation of separatist rule in the late Ming Dynasty would likely appear again. So now we have to ask Zhu Cixuan to make certain changes, either exchange them for a large amount of various materials, or have another idea.
"Just do it according to your idea first. Although there are not many fleets out, this time the matter is the top priority of my Ming Dynasty. Are you leading the team yourself or your father?"
Because of the question Zheng Sen just raised, Zhu Cixuan thought of a more serious problem, that is logistics supply, so Zhu Cixuan now sets this matter first and then solves the more serious problem.
"Don't lead the team in person, please let the prince approve."
Zheng Sen half-kneeled in front of Zhu Cixuan. The whole army had abolished the kneeling etiquette, but here in Zhu Cixuan, the officials of the Ministry of Rites would not give in. If the kneeling ceremony was not given to His Highness the Crown Prince, how could they distinguish between His Highness the Crown Prince and others?
"Then go down and prepare. When the preparations are completed, we will march into Fusang immediately."
Zhu Cixuan is still very quick in doing things. Unlike other people, he always has to conduct long-term research. Once they study this matter thoroughly, the results will probably be gone. Therefore, if others can't do such things, Zhu Cixuan can do very well.
Another thing is that the emperor did not know the outcome of the battle in the past, and some undecided endings may occur, so they hesitated again and again. Now the weapons and equipment of the Ming army have already helped them win half. As long as there is no mistake in the implementation of the plan, winning is like taking something out of their pockets, so Zhu Cixuan's decision is also very fast.
The next thing to solve is another important problem. Zhu Cixuan knocked on his table and a black shadow appeared next to it. This black shadow was exchanged by Zhu Cixuan from the system. If it was compared to intimate relationships, it might be closer than Cao Renli. These people would never betray Zhu Cixuan.
