While everyone expressed their opinions, Zhu Yicheng had completely calmed down.

At the beginning, Zhu Yicheng was very angry at the occurrence of this series of events. At this moment, he felt the full of malice from Western countries. But when he calmed down, Zhu Yicheng began to analyze and consider how to face the current situation. What Zeng Yishu said also made Zhu Yicheng feel relieved.

Among the Ministers of Military Affairs, Zeng Yishu had the least qualifications. Before he became the Minister of Military Affairs, he did not serve as a local official. Instead, he passed the Jinshi and went to the Hanlin Academy first, and then transferred to the newly established Military Affairs Office to serve as a walker.

Military aircraft walking, it means the secretary of the Minister of Military aircraft. There are a large number of military aircraft walking in the Military aircraft department. The main purpose is to pass official documents, organize information, assist the Minister of Military aircraft to contact various departments, etc. To put it bluntly, in later generations, they were just doing odd jobs in the office.

Of course, there are differences between military aircraft walking and military aircraft walking. Some military aircraft walking do odd jobs, while others walk do the jobs of the Secretary of the Military Aircraft, and even in some cases handle some official duties on behalf of the Minister of the Military Aircraft.

Zeng Yishu is the latter. During the years he was in the Military Affairs Office, Zeng Yishu's talent gradually emerged and stood out from the walking of military affairs. Later, he not only entered the eyes of the Military Affairs Minister, but also was noticed by Zhu Yicheng.

It was not until the time of the change of leadership of the Military Affairs Office that Zhu Yicheng promoted Zeng Yishu from military affairs to the position of Minister of Military Affairs. At the same time, Zeng Yishu was also responsible for the work of the Ministry of Revenue, and then he began to take charge of a government affairs department.

Compared with other military ministers, Zeng Yishu's promotion method was completely different from theirs, but we have to admit that Zeng Yishu is indeed capable and talented. Not to mention the others, just based on his words just now, Zeng Yishu is better than others in terms of overall situations and foreign affairs. He calmly thought and pointed out the problem incisively, and thus dissuaded Zhu Yicheng from doing impulsively.

To be honest, Zhu Yicheng wanted to be impulsive in his heart. Zhu Yicheng was extremely angry when facing the act of suddenly slapping the face at this time when Western countries were secretly united. But Zhu Yicheng also knew that as the emperor and the owner of the Ming Dynasty, his every move must not be willful, because his decision will affect the future of the entire Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty could not afford it if it failed.

Zhu Yicheng was not Cixi in later generations, and she would not impulsively make an act of going to war with the 11 countries.

Faced with this situation, he must make the most appropriate decision.

"He Zong? Haha..." Zhu Yicheng sneered in his heart. In this incident, Zhu Yicheng smelled some of the routines from later generations. This familiar formula is somewhat similar to what the Lighthouse Kingdom did in later generations, and it encircled and suppressed the rising China in all aspects.

However, the times are different, and the Ming Dynasty is not the later China. Today, the Ming Dynasty can be said to be the most powerful country in the world, both in terms of economic and military strength.

However, no matter how powerful a country is, it is hard to defeat four hands. If the military forces of Western countries are single, no one is afraid of the Ming Dynasty, but it is hard to say that they join forces.

What’s even more fatal is that the local area is not bad, but overseas territories will be somewhat difficult. Once the war starts overseas, it will take a lot of time even if the local area can withdraw troops to support overseas. Moreover, the transportation of this era is far less convenient than that of later generations. Even the relatively calm Pacific Ocean will be at risk of storms at any time, and it is impossible to transport large-scale troops to Xinming and other places.

Zhu Yicheng must make a choice in this situation. This choice is not to abandon the side, but to consider priorities.

The Ming Dynasty could not withstand the result of a full-scale war. Judging from the time, the revival of the Ming Dynasty has only been less than twenty years since its revival. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty, the largest enemy of the Ming Dynasty, still exists. The Western Regions, Tibet, and Mongolia have not truly belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and internal and external contradictions have not been completely resolved. Once the war breaks out, it is conceivable what impact the Ming Dynasty will have.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng decided to use political, diplomatic and military actions to solve the current dilemma. For the Ming Dynasty, the strategic plan of the Western Regions could not be stopped. This is an important action to decide that the Ming Dynasty completely resolved the Qing Dynasty's problems. The Ming Dynasty would never allow the Qing Dynasty to continue to occupy the Western Regions.

Since Russia has denied that they sent troops to the Western Regions and privately helped the Qing Dynasty fight against the Ming army, then the Ming Dynasty would just pretend that it was like this and pretended not to know it.

Didn’t the Russian side say that these people may be the so-called Kazakhs, not real Russians, so the Ming Dynasty confirmed all this and used the existence of Kazakhs to make the Russians swallow this bitter fruit.

Zhu Yicheng believed that even if the attack on the Western Regions would cause more casualties due to this reason, it would delay the time for the Ming Dynasty to resolve the Qing Dynasty's problems, but with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it would still win.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty could have been on guard north of Liaodong to prevent the Kazakhs from crossing the border from putting pressure on Russia.

As for Mongolia, since Korchin is revived, Zhu Yicheng can also directly intervene in Mongolia and use this matter to erode various Mongolian tribes to achieve the result of controlling the entire Mongolian territory.

Zhu Yicheng has not many methods for Xinming, but with Xinming's current military strength and reserves, there should be no problem even if the other party cannot defeat the other party's self-protection.

Whether it is Wang Dong or Zhu Yigui, these two are powerful generals in the army.

Wang Dong is good at naval battles, and Zhu Yigui has always been known for his elusive and changeable tactics in land battles. As long as he is not in a hurry to win, it is not a big problem to use defense as an offense based on their abilities.

In the South China Sea, the Ming Dynasty controlled Luzon and Johor, especially the main transportation routes that were later curbing the entry into the South China Sea, which had a natural initiative for the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, there is Myanmar, which is a bit troublesome. However, after thinking about it, Zhu Yicheng decided to give up Myanmar. Myanmar was different from other overseas territories. Gao Jin did not belong to the Ming Dynasty. The reason why Zhu Yicheng enthroned Gao Jin as the King of Burma was just to solve the Myanmar dynasty, and he just left a son in Myanmar.

Since it is a move, it is a purpose of abandoning the child. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty has done what it should do. It would be great if Gao Jin could block the counterattack initiated by Western countries in Myanmar. Even if it could not be stopped, the Ming Dynasty could safely hide behind and use Yunnan to replenish some materials to make Gao Jin consume the other party's strength as much as possible, thus winning time for the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, since Western countries can unite, the Ming Dynasty can also unite. The other party's unite is nothing more than interests, and this benefit can also be given to the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yicheng knew very well that these Westerners had no moral bottom line at all. For them, there was only interests. As long as they had enough interests, the so-called unite and rule can also be disintegrated.
