Zhu Youxiaoan quietly looked at Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, with no obvious change in expressions on his face.

In fact, what was wrong with his emperor's emotions? Sun Chengzong and the others thought about it for a moment and understood it in their hearts.

The emperor had no confidence in the war. To put it bluntly, he was afraid, afraid, and afraid.

Why did the emperor have such emotions?

Those who were ministers thought about it and realized that their emperor was a phobia of insufficient firepower.

You know, Zhu Youxiao is not just a person who has the phobia of insufficient firepower; in later generations, this is a problem that the entire Chinese people have. From top to bottom, everyone is worried about insufficient firepower.

In later generations, Zhu Youxiao knew one thing, that was, there was a time when the first-level firepower of the domestic division brigade was three times that of the West, but the first-level firepower was insufficient. To treat the disease, you must treat the root of the disease and give the sub-level medicine below the company level!

Looking around the world, only the People's Liberation Army can equip machine guns with a caliber of 12.7 mm to the infantry squad, and one squad has two squads. This kind of firepower is placed at a crossroads and blocks two streets in minutes.

Not only that, they also pioneered the world's first sniper howitzer, with a maximum range of 2,200 meters and a shooting accuracy of 25 cm. Do you feel that the accuracy is too poor?

The accuracy is not enough, and the firepower is used to make up, the effective killing radius is 5 meters!

One shot into the soul!

The most ruthless thing is that this guy can still use a drum. He can shoot 20 consecutive shots. A round of cannons can even blow you out without being killed.

Don’t ask for the most fierce, just want to be more fierce.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao also understood what he was thinking.

In my heart, the equipment is not enough now, and I can't feel at ease at all. The phobia of insufficient firepower cannot be cured.

Perhaps in the eyes of Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, the Ming Dynasty's military situation is already very good now, at least much better than when the emperor ascended the throne. In Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi solved many problems and his equipment has also been improved. This victory is a proof that he can at least fight with the wild boar skin.

Under such circumstances, it is no big deal to go to war. What's more, the court now has money and the treasury has food, so it's not bad to fight this time.

Even if there are such a good army in the capital, the new army performs very well, whether in the southwest or in Shandong. If we also pull the new army to Liaodong, the chances of winning in this battle will be even greater, and it is basically unlikely that we will be defeated; even if we lose, we will not be defeated and defeated.

However, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, frowned, and said thoughtfully: "This matter is of great importance, so let's think about it carefully. My dear friends, let's step down first, I'll think about it before talking about it."

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't have to think about it at all. He didn't want to fight this battle at all. The money and food he had finally obtained were not consumed in Liaodong in vain.

For Zhu Youxiao, this money is the original capital from the beginning and has great uses. Good steel must be used on the edge, and the key is to use this money to improve one's own strength. When the strength is improved, money is not a problem at all.

Under such circumstances, for Zhu Youxiao, stability is better than everything.

Now people in the court think that the Ming Dynasty has a lot of money, but Zhu Youxiao feels that the money is still very small and is far from enough. Putting this money into production expansion, enhancing one's own strength, and using it to earn more money is the king. Spending it out is the most wrong choice.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao's attitude was firm, Han Yu and others knew that there was no way, so they bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will leave."

After Han Yu and others left, Zhu Youxiao also returned to the palace. He was in a bad mood and needed to find Queen Zhang to be comforted.

After leaving the palace, Han and the other two returned to the cabinet with their own thoughts.

Han Yu and Huang Kezhang got together. The two were drinking tea and chatting in the duty room on the west side, while someone was watching outside the door.

After looking at Han Du, Huang Kezhang said hesitantly: "Why do I think things are a bit strange?"

"Where is it weird?" Han Du asked with a sip of tea.

"What happened today is a bit strange." Huang Kezhang said after thinking about it: "Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi seem to be a little too anxious."

"Liaodong is just a small victory. Why do you say that you will recover the entire Liao Dynasty? They are not such eager people, so I think it's strange."

"What's wrong with this?" Han Du said with a smile: "These two are just taking over power."

"Where do you start with this?" Huang Kezhang was hesitant when he heard this. After thinking about it, he said, "Do they not meant to be in Liaodong, but in the court?"

"The drunkard's intention is not about wine, it cares about the mountains and rivers." Han Yu smiled, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Isn't this an obvious thing?"

"These two are old foxes, so don't be deceived by them. Liaodong won this time, which is indeed good news for the court."

"Your Majesty appointed Xiong Tingbi to make the situation in Liaodong stable, so that it can win now. But if you want to recover the entire Liao Dynasty, you will definitely not be able to do it now. What you know, Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi will not know?"

"The two of them, one controls the Ministry of War and the other controls the Centre for the Centre for the Centre. What is that?"

"That's all about war. Once Your Majesty is attracted to the recovery of the entire Liao Dynasty, the main directions in the court will be all these. Whether it is training troops or casting military weapons, they all have to rely on Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi."

"Sun Chengzong even asked for an order to go to Shenyang. What is he going to do? Liaodong affairs have always been a heart-wrenching problem in the court. Since Sarhu, it has never been suppressed by people's hearts. Do you think Your Majesty doesn't care? If Your Majesty doesn't care, he wouldn't spend so much money to train troops."

"Sun Chengzong went to the Liaodong commander army. Was he going to fight? He was going to make meritorious. As for Xu Guangqi, he also made great contributions in governing the Ages of the Ages in the court."

"Now the court is mainly promoting the reform of the Royal Academy, and Feng Congwu is the one who is in charge. That's ours. Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi are both staring at power."

"Are they not afraid of defeat?" Huang Kezhang said hesitantly.

"Defeated?" Han Du sneered and said, "Who do you think Sun Chengzong is?"

"You know the situation in Liaodong now, and I know it too. Xiong Tingbi has already gained a foothold. Then he is invincible. The court mobilized a large army and must have attacked."

"But no one said he wanted to wipe out the wild boar skin. Isn't it good to knock down the Tieling in Qinghe first? Then gradually advance northward and eat the territory of the wild boar skin."

"It was not that Sun Chengzong had proposed this strategy before. He would definitely do this when he went to Liaodong. At that time, his wild boar skin would definitely be crushed by him."

"There may only be a small gain in a year or two. In three or five years, the wild boar skin will inevitably suffer heavy casualties and will definitely not be able to fight back. With the cooperation of the Centre of the Hundred and Centres of the Court, it may not take three or five years. At that time, they will make great contributions in the court. How can you and I handle it?"

"Maybe, I will abdicate and give in to the wise. The position of the Chief Secretary of the Cabinet has nothing to do with me. Don't forget that although we are in charge of the reform of the Royal Academy, the Minister of Rites is Chen Tingjun, and Xu Guangqi's man."

"How did Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi get together?" Huang Kezhang asked in confusion: "These two people don't deal with each other on weekdays."

"What does like-mindedness mean? It's just that you want to do the same thing. These two people have always wanted to strengthen the army and have always wanted to take over Liaodong. Now that they have the opportunity, how can they not seize it?"

"Look at it. After this incident spreads, the reputation of these two people will definitely be greatly improved. Those who want to regain Liaodong will definitely take advantage of the situation to support them."

"What's more, the Battle of Sarhu has always been a shame for many people. If the imperial court can take revenge, it will make people feel depressed. Do you think there will be fewer people who support Sun Chengzong and the others?"

"What's more, the national justice is the country's right, and many people will agree with it."

Huang Kezhang could think of this point, just to gain some capital.

If you can touch Your Majesty and make Your Majesty moved, whoever has a loud voice at that time will attract Your Majesty's attention, and it will be no problem to be promoted or promoted in the future.

"What should we do?" Huang Kezhang thought for a while and said, "We can't object."

Han Dong and the others really didn't want Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi to do the thing, but there was no way to oppose this matter. It was a matter of justice, and whoever opposes it would be a traitor.

Under such circumstances, we cannot oppose it blatantly. If the news spreads, the outside world may not scold Han and Du like anything.

"Don't be anxious, no hurry." Han said with a smile: "Your Majesty has not made a decision now, which means that your Majesty does not agree with them in his heart. There is no need to object directly, it is just that the time is not ripe."

"The new army training has not been completed, and there are many disasters in various places. The situation in Liaodong is now very stable, and there is no need to restart the war."

"But it's easy to be scolded like this." Huang Kezhang thought for a while and said.

He knew about scholars in the Ming Dynasty. If such comments of compromise with the outside world are used a little by little, they will definitely become their weakness, and people outside may scold themselves.

Advocating toughness is the mainstream idea.

"Of course, we can't say it with great fanfare." Han Du said with a smile: "Just talk to His Majesty privately."

"As for their desire to make things happen, we just need to turn our attention away. I still have one big thing to do."

Huang Kezhang looked at Han Du and asked, "What you are talking about is the Kong family?"

"Yes!" Han Du said with a smile: "Isn't this time reforming the Royal Academy? Why not just move out the Kong family. Your Majesty doesn't like the Kong family, but the Kong family is also beneficial for reforming the Royal Academy."

"Is this a big deal to take out the people of the Kong family? Once these two things are brought together, both the government and the public and scholars will care about this matter. Who will take the matter in Liaodong to heart? What they want to promote in Liaodong will not be so easy to achieve."

"But there is one thing that needs to be snacked on, that is, we must also make arrangements for Liaodong. We cannot be all their contributions at that time."
