Zhu Xu listened to Qin Liangyu's words and smiled.

This old general's life was loyal and wise, and his name was used in history, and it was not for nothing.

The two were about to arrive at Xihuamen, and Zhu Xu pondered for a while and said, "What do the old general think about me leaving Ruizheng?"

Ruizheng, Ma Xianglin's word.

This is also Qin Liangyu's thoughts. Hearing this, he said, "I have no idea."

Zhu Xu's brows moved slightly and turned to look at Qin Liangyu.

Qin Liangyu looked calm and looked straight at him, open and open.

Zhu Xu was sober, and turned around with a smile, saying, "The Grand Marshal's Mansion has left me with the establishment of the 'Royal Legion'. General Ruizheng is known as the 'Little Ma Chao'. I am planning to let him lead a cavalry. The commander of the Imperial Army is indeed too eye-catching, and I am not considering it thoroughly. In this way, let the couple stay in the military academy for half a year first, and then go to Yunnan to lead the first army. What about this?"

Qin Liangyu was shocked, and knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "I thank the emperor for my son!"

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "No gift."

Then, he looked outside Xihua Gate and said with a sigh: "This is a high mountain and long river, and thousands of miles away. The old general hopes to take care of him."

Qin Liangyu had long noticed that the emperor in front of her seemed to have a greater reliance on her than ordinary ministers, which made her more respectful to Zhu Xu, more loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and swear to fight to the death!

Zhu Xu naturally never thought about this. It was purely respect for this old general. She was the most brilliant, intense and dazzling stroke on the vast painting in the late Ming Dynasty in history!

Later generations commented on the late generals who had both praise and criticism, but Qin Liangyu was only willing to criticize her with derogatory words.

This is a respectable person from the heart!

Zhu Xu had a different emotion towards Qin Liangyu, which was free of impurities and pure. He himself did not even realize how "excessive" his performance was.

I wanted to send Qin Liangyu out of the city, but was rejected by Qin Liangyu. In addition, Cao Bianjiao, Tang Wang, Xiong Tingbi and others arrived, so Zhu Xu had to stop at Xihuamen.

"I will go here to ensure peace in Shaanxi and Sichuan. In my lifetime, I will never worry the emperor at all! The Ma family is in Shaanxi and Sichuan, and they are tragic and defend the Ming Dynasty!"

Qin Liangyu's voice was like gold and stone still echoing in Zhu Xu's ears, and the carriage had already left the door and was invisible.

Zhu Xu looked sad and stopped.

Cao Huachun and others stood not far behind Zhu Xu, watching Zhu Xu remain motionless for a long time and stood silently.

They had long observed that Zhu Xu attached different importance to Qin Liangyu, and although they were curious, they never asked much.

After a while, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said, "Emperor, General Cao, King of Tang, General Xiong have all arrived."

Zhu Xu took a deep breath and said, "Yeah, let's go."

The group of people turned around and did not return to Qianqing Palace, but went to Wucheng Pavilion.

The cabinet and the Grand Marshal's Mansion are under construction and will not be completed in two or three months. Cao Bianjiao and others are now in the Staff Office of Wucheng Pavilion, which is already the highest place in the Ming Dynasty's military strategy.

"I will meet the emperor!"

As soon as Zhu Xu entered the door, a group of people inside immediately stood up, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice.

Zhu Xu walked to the main seat and sat down, and said to a group of people, "Sit down, Cao Bianjiao, let me talk about the joint fleet first."

Also present were King Tang, Xiong Wencan, Qian Jinxiao, and others.

Cao Bianjiao is more capable and cool than before. He stands upright there, with a faint smell of the sea. He said: "Yes. Emperor, the current joint fleet is mainly our Ming Dynasty. There are more than ten countries that have joined, in addition to the nearby Myanmar, Siam, Cambodia, Ceylon, the Western Yi, England, the Netherlands, and the large and small Flang machines. It has 180 warships, 500 cannons, and 25,000 soldiers. The money and grain are mainly subscribed by the United Nations, plus some inputs. In addition to personal use, it has earned more than 2 million this year...

The farthest range of activities of the joint fleet was the Safi Dynasty. To the west of Ceylon, the Sanbao eunuch had arrived. The Safi Dynasty also agreed to send envoys to our Ming Dynasty to show that it would repair traffic. Others include the Mughals and some countries of large and small, with more than 30 countries. They expressed interest in the joint fleet... My plan for the joint fleet is to strengthen troops, form a strong joint fleet, constantly explore outward, build routes, establish a solid and unbreakable land-sea dual-purpose base in various places, expand the range of activities of the joint fleet, and develop various military sources..."

Cao Bianjiao obviously would not make a report, and his words were a bit messy, but Zhu Xu had read the memorial before and now he is more clear.

There are many Westerners in the United Fleet. They are more familiar with this world and the sea routes and are guiding the way for the United Fleet. Although they have their intentions, they do open new doors for the United Fleet and enter a different world.

The Tang King, Xiong Wencan, Qian Jinxiao and others listened silently. They had discussed and looked at the chart before, and had already gained a general understanding and had different expressions.

After half an hour, Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, Zhu Xu did not rush to draw a conclusion, looked at Xiong Wencan and the King of Tang, and said, "Tell me about the Navy."

Xiong Wencan didn't move, and the Tang King stood up and said, "Yes. The navy currently has 50,000 units, with a total of 100,000. There are naval bases from Vladivostok to Ceylon in the north. The navy has been continuously stabilizing the control of the two provinces of the South China Sea last year, and has basically eliminated the maritime threats. The generals of Luzon and the old port provinces are also mobilizing forces to annihilate rebellions everywhere. The navy is actively cooperating... The main control method is to go from point to surface, slowly... "

"Since October last year, the Navy has harvested up to 7 million taels of silver and three million stones of food from all over the country in various ways, and has basically maintained self-sufficiency..."

"The navy and the joint fleet communicated with each other, and large-scale displays of force and attacks were carried out in various places. From east of the Safi Kingdom, our Ming army was as powerful as fire and the imperial power was vast..."

"The merchant ships of Western countries, the fleets have already combined with our fleets and navy, and the scope of activities is unprecedented..."

"The navy is developing rapidly, and Chen and others plan to continue to expand the scale of the navy. The bases in various places are constantly expanding and increasing, and the income of each place is quite considerable..."

Zhu Xu looked at King Tang and listened quietly.

The Prince of Tang, who was almost starved to death by his biological father, is now growing up with a sharp and sharp eyes, and only with a strong and magnificent one dares.

King Zhu Youjian of Tang was still talking about Kaikai, and he was full of expectations for the future of the navy... ambition!

Zhu Xu looked calm. He had known what the King of Tang said long ago, and now he was listening to a more detailed and meticulous report.

For more than an hour, the King of Tang stopped with a dry mouth, looked at Zhu Xu with a hot eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that now the world is ignorant. As China, a place of sanctification, I should shoulder the responsibility and spread the saints' education, so that people in the world can get rid of ignorance, understand the power of my emperor and the saints' education..."

This sentence was not found in the memorial book. Zhu Xu looked at the Tang King in surprise, his eyes showing a strange look.

Although this kind of remarks is different from the missionaries' "dissemination of the light and gospel of God", it is also similar. The purpose hidden behind it is exactly the same!

Zhu Xu's face was as usual, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

The Tang King looked at Zhu Xu's flashing smile and looked louder, saying, "Your Majesty, please expand the navy. My Ming Dynasty requires at least three navy!"

Now many things are no longer needed by Zhu Xu to do, and he teaches these adults bit by bit.

Zhu Xu smiled and turned to Qian Jinxiao, saying, "What do you think of the Staff Office?"

Qian Jinxiao came out of the Royal Military Academy and had a broader horizon. If it were ordinary people, he would have been confused. He said as usual: "Your Majesty, I have carefully studied the situation of the whole world in the past few days. The Western Yi and other countries are just a small place with a population of less than one million, but they have occupied several times the territory of our Ming Dynasty and dozens of times the population of our Ming Dynasty. In the whole world, except for our Ming Dynasty, it is their territory. In the long run, my Ming Dynasty will be in danger! Therefore, I suggest that if our Ming Navy wants to expand the nautical chart, we must spread the sanctification of our Ming Dynasty before these Western Yi and spread the sanctification of our Ming Dynasty. The emperor's benevolence will not be dangerous without knowing it, it cannot be responded or won't win..."

"Are there any specific plans?" Zhu Xu said.

Qian Jinxiao may not know Zhu Xu, but Cao Bianjiao, Tang Wang, Xiong Wencan and others all felt that Zhu Xu was intending to take the school exam.

Qian Jinxiao did not have much contact with Zhu Xu. Hearing this, he said: "The emperor, I, etc., look at the maps sent by the Intelligence Department, especially the naval charts. Combined with the current situation of our Daming, I believe that the development of the joint fleet is a powerful tool and requires great investment and expansion. This is especially true for the navy. For some key places, ports, bases, fortresses, especially rivers, and the middle places between some continents, it is more important than the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty... In some supply areas on the middle of the sea, they must also be controlled by our Daming..."

Qian Jinxiao did not care whether Zhu Xu was taking the exam. He combined the ideas of the Staff Office and discussed in detail with the Military Academy, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, and the Tang Wang, so he came to such conclusions.

He was neither humble nor arrogant, nor was he as nervous as ordinary military and political officials when they saw Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu's eyes showed a strange look, and he couldn't help but look at Qian Jinxiao, then looked at Cao Bianjiao, Tang Wang and others.

He has always forced these civil servants and military generals to do things, almost step by step and push them. Today, he was a little uncomfortable when he saw these people express such insightful and visionary words.

He did not speak immediately, sat in the chair and thought.

The Ming Dynasty's navy was still in its primitive stage of development. It had never experienced any serious naval battles. And the earth was so big that it could not take care of it at all, so it could only make a plan with the point and the surface.

What these people say is not about the key points, but the way they act is surprisingly consistent with his.

They are in order to "preserve" and ensure the safety of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Xu wants world leadership, but the current practices are the same, control the key points of strategy, strengthen himself, and see the world clearly!

“Not enough!”

Zhu Xu suddenly spoke with a sharp tone as a sword, saying, "Our strategic goal and ambition are not enough. The Westerners can occupy so many places and rule so many people. Why can't I be a Ming Dynasty? What we bring is benevolence and sage education, which will help them get rid of ignorance and enlighten current affairs, why not!"

As soon as Zhu Xu spoke, everyone present was stunned, except Cao Bianjiao.

Cao Bianjiao has been with Zhu Xu for many years and has a good understanding of his behavioral habits, but others are different.

Most of these people are scholars, and Confucianism does not expand its genes. They instinctively reject this idea and then resist it.

Therefore, in all dynasties, besides the founding emperors, they can still have some opinions and suppress the conservative ideas of civil servants, and their descendants can do nothing.

The same was true for the Ming Dynasty. Since the founder of Chengzu Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty's strategy has been shrinking. Unless it is because of the cold lips and teeth, it is hit in front of you, and you will basically ignore the outside world if you can. No matter how uncomfortable it is, you will turn a blind eye.
