Chapter 681: Hum

It takes only five years to defeat the thorn and Gao Qiang, and it takes only about six years to take it. In six years, the territory of the Ming Dynasty could be nearly doubled. This is because of the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, without any such great achievements in the past, he could become another such great emperor. Thinking of this, Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but feel floating in his heart.

And this kind of ethereality is very easy to manifest on the face.

Jiang Lang saw the expression on Emperor Jingtai's face and understood what he meant, and smiled slightly. Whenever emperor thought of opening up the territory and splitting the land, his heart was more anxious than anyone else.

Emperor Jingtai, who was proud of it, suddenly reflected that this expression was somewhat inappropriate in front of his ministers. After a slight sank, he said: "Is this high-level army harder to fight than Komu Army?"

"Maybe it's hard to fight, maybe it's not hard to fight!"

Jiang Lang answered an ambiguous answer.

Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but be stunned and said strangely: "What kind of feet may be difficult to hit, maybe it may not be difficult to hit!"

Emperor Jingtai was somewhat strange about Jiang Lang's ambiguous answer. In his eyes, this high-strength battle was much better than the Koumu Army. Just attack them directly from the land and flatten them.

Jiang Lang had different ideas in his mind. The so-called victory over a country is not just about defeating their army, it is just a preliminary victory."

"What is that total victory?"

Emperor Jingtai immediately asked, he wanted to know anything about war.

When Emperor Jingtai asked, Jiang Lang immediately said: "The complete victory is that they recognize from their hearts that we are their co-rulers, and now that they recognize their court."

Emperor Jingtai thought about it and then said, "That's true, so what do you mean by what you just said is hard to fight?"

Jiang Lang immediately said: "The so-called "not difficult to fight, because the current high-strength troops are not our opponents at all. Although they work hard to govern because of our powerful threats and have developed in recent years, their troops are not our opponents in terms of quantity and quality. Five years later, they are certainly not our opponents. Of course, it is not a problem to eliminate them. This is also the so-called "not difficult to fight!"

Emperor Jingtai thought about it, it was indeed the same. Gao Qiang is just a small place. Even if the whole people have very limited troops, they are not as powerful soldiers as the Ming Dynasty. Of course, it doesn’t take much effort to defeat them. It’s actually like this. So what does Jiang Lang mean that it’s hard to fight? So he immediately asked: “Then what’s hard to fight?”

"The so-called hard to fight..."

Jiang Lang pondered for a moment and then said: "Gaoqiang is a country with a strong sense of nationality. Although their military strength is not as strong as ours and national strength is not as strong as ours, we can easily incorporate their land into our Ming Dynasty territory, but one thing is that their national integrity is not easy to defeat. It will take a long time to make them fully recognize our rule, so this is what I meant by hard to fight!"

"So that's how it is!"

Emperor Jingtai finally understood Jiang Lang's words, nodded, and said, "I understand what you mean now, and it is true. Fortunately, the attack time is set in five years, and we still have enough time to think of countermeasures. But after you said this, I feel much more at ease. Then, we will send troops in five years. At that time, we must take down Gao Qiang!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "It will take three years to win the thorns and the high strength in five years. Now we must adhere to the current policies. In this way, we can have enough national strength to fight the war, otherwise we may be the ones who are dragged down!"

Emperor Jingtai laughed and said, "Wang Aiqing, I understand what you mean, you can rest assured. I also understand the benefits that the current court policy brings to the people. Of course, it will not change. Of course, as you said, in order to fight, the prerequisite is that we must have strong national strength to support the war, otherwise, the only one who is dragged down will be the only one who is dragged down. Well, today I will talk about this. By the way, do you have any tips?"

Jiang Lang immediately bent down and said, "I do have important matters to report!"

"Okay, let's talk about it!"

Emperor Jingtai said.

At this time, the two of them had already walked to the pavilion of the Yu Pond in the Imperial Garden, and Emperor Jingtai sat casually on the railings in the pavilion.

Jiang Lang was still standing and then said, "It has been more than a month since Weichen left. I am a little worried about the matter on the island, so I think it's time to go back! Now the deputy factory supervisor of the East Factory has been confirmed, so I plan to go back too!"

Emperor Jingtai was obviously a little surprised and said in surprise: "I'm going back now? Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, it's not hasty. The situation there is not stable now. There are still thieves in some places. At the same time, the court's policies still need to be implemented and affairs are very busy. Therefore, the ministers will return and will have to fight the thorns in three years. Then the island will calm down one day earlier, and the attack time will be one day ahead of schedule!"

Jiang Lang knew that if he had something to do with attacking Wazhi, Emperor Jingtai would naturally agree. Sure enough, he pondered for a moment before saying, "Think about it carefully, it's the same. Then I will be sure if you want to leave this matter!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Lang immediately said, and then said, "This time I left, I want to bring several wives from my family with me. Now it's still safe. Please forgive me!"

Emperor Jingtai was obviously not prepared for Jiang Lang's request and said in surprise: "Did you want to bring all the emperor sisters and others?"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor, I have not fulfilled my responsibility for being a husband for many years. The wives in the family have not complained about this at all, which makes me feel ashamed of myself and ashamed of them. As fathers, my children can now learn to speak, but I can't fulfill my father's responsibility at all, which makes me unable to sleep or eat. Therefore, I beg the emperor to allow me to go with my wife and children, and let me do my duty to be a husband and father!"

Jiang Lang said this very sincerely, and Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but be moved slightly. As Jiang Lang expected, the narrow-minded Emperor Jingtai did plan to keep Zhu Yuqi and others in the capital as hostages. Jiang Lang was a person who values ​​feelings, so Emperor Jingtai also firmly believed in his heart that if Jiang Lang's family was in the capital, he would not betray him or the court. Although Jiang Lang had never planned to betray him again, every emperor was more suspicious.

However, now Jiang Lang has made a point that Emperor Jingtai is really in trouble. If Jiang Lang does not let Jiang Lang take it out, then Jiang Lang will definitely be dissatisfied. Moreover, if this is reported, it will be somewhat harmful to his own face. At the same time, someone will be unfair to Jiang Lang. After all, Jiang Lang is a meritorious minister now, and it is worthy of the Ming Dynasty. If he doesn't even agree to this small request, it will be unreasonable.

But if Jiang Lang still takes the man out, there is nothing in the capital that can restrict him. If he has ulterior motives, wouldn’t it be difficult to control?

Now Jingtaidi found that this decision was really difficult to follow.

Seeing this, Jiang Lang felt a little sank. Emperor Jingtai was indeed very cautious about him and couldn't help but sigh. This person was too suspicious, but that's true. He should be taking Zhu Yuqi and others out. Otherwise, one day, Emperor Jingtai thought he was annoyed and he would not even have a chance to escape.

So he immediately said: "Since I married three wives, I first conquered Watshu, and now I attacked Komu Jun. In short, I spent a few years in this family, and the family was rarely reunited. This time I went home, the children at home were not recognized. This made me very ashamed. If this continues, what will I face them? Please forgive me!"

Jiang Lang said this, but Emperor Jingtai really didn't know how to refuse. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Your dear sacrifices so much for the court. Of course, I remember that as a wife and father, I also understand your feelings. Since you plan to bring them with you, then take them with you, but there is still a very dangerous place there. You must protect them well!"

Jiang Lang immediately knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "Thank you, the emperor, I will remember the holy words!"

Emperor Jingtai nodded and said, "Okay, okay, get up, when are you going to leave?"

Jiang Lang thought for a while and said, "The day after tomorrow, I have to pack up my things tomorrow!"

Emperor Jingtai nodded and said, "Okay, I will hold a banquet in the palace tonight and I will practice it for you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Lang immediately said, then he said goodbye to the palace, and then walked towards the house with Sun Yuanbiao who was waiting outside the palace. After walking for a while, Jiang Lang said: "I plan to go back to the island the day after tomorrow. You don't have to follow me this time!"

Sun Yuanbiao was shocked and asked quickly: "Sir, why is this?"

Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, listen to me, I have recommended you to serve as the deputy factory supervisor of the East Factory today from the emperor. This imperial edict should be delivered later."

Sun Yuanbiao hurriedly said, "Sir, how can my subordinates take up the position of deputy factory supervisor of this East Factory?"

"Don't underestimate yourself, either!"
