Chapter 76 Nanzheng Plan

The prince said, "Yes." Then he told him all the plans he had formulated.

He had thought about Nanzheng many times.

But Zhang Mao was not around, and he lacked a trustworthy staff in this matter. So the plan he made was just one word: "Just."

Don’t do anything, there are no ones. Just rush across the route along the route.

Of course, the prince’s arrangements are not just that. For example, there are arrangements for Hui countries like Aceh. It is basically to suppress the surrounding countries. For example, the Shi family in the old port is to watch Aceh. If Aceh really has abnormal movements, then wait for the army to turn around and pacify him.

The prince means that the Ming Dynasty has no benefit in various parts of Southeast Asia.

To be honest, the Ming Dynasty was just an old port and a Nanyang Guard in Nanyang, and if we really wanted to say that these two places were not necessarily rescued, the prince's meaning was not so much that these Hindu countries were watching the Hui and Islamic countries, so that they would provoke discord and cause them to hostile to each other.

It is best to fight, so that the court can have room for intervention.

When the prince finished his plan in a scattered manner, he looked at Wang Ying, as if he wanted to listen to Wang Ying's guidance.

Wang Ying is a mature person, how could he choose the wrong point of the prince at this time?

Furthermore, the prince’s plan seems mediocre, but there are no flaws. After all, the forces on both sides are here, so there is no need to use any tricks. Just put the top down with a dignified mountain.

But if Wang Ying couldn't express any opinions, wouldn't he let the emperor down?

After a few rounds of thought, he said, "Your Highness's strategy is a perfect strategy. There is nothing to mention, but I have a foolish opinion. Please ask Your Majesty to let it go."

Zhu Qizhen said, "I am not a person who doesn't let people talk, you just say it."

Wang Ying said: "In fact, this battle is almost a battle of snatching hands. But His Majesty gave too many soldiers. The prince had 50,000 elite troops in the Nanyang Metropolitan Division and dispatched 50,000 Beijing camps. In addition, the total number of soldiers in the various garrisons was around 200,000, and as for the combined Navy of the North and South, there were as many as 70,000 to 80,000."

"If you just destroy the light, there will be no need for so many people. I am presumptuously speculating that Your Majesty intends to write in Southeast Asia. In this way, it is better to divide the troops."

"First of all, the seaway seems wide, but the carrying capacity of cities along the coast is also limited. The large army of hedgehogs gathered together, and the number of people was too large."

“The transfer is unfavorable.”

"Secondly, I think Fujian has many people and few land, and many people are poor, and it is also the one who travels to the South China Sea the most. If you want to govern Nanyang, you must use Fujianese."

"Also, the Fujianese have already had the experience of migrating to the sea. Now, the Yizhou Prefecture, three counties are all established by Fujianese. I want to divide my troops into one route. The army goes from Fujian to Yizhou, and passes through Luzon. The army slowly moves. The ports where they pass, all the soldiers guard the troops. After the army, they recruit the people of Fujian and farm near the military camp. In less than a few years, there will be Han people in all parts of Luzon. Even though the South Ocean is large, it is surrounded by the imperial court."

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "You are so worried about your hometown."

Wang Ying immediately said, "How can we forget the hometown of our father and grandfather?"

The reason why Zhu Qizhen said this was actually to tell Wang Ying that he saw through Wang Ying's little thoughts. Although Wang Ying grew up with Wang Jing in Nanjing since childhood, the Wang family's ancestral home was Fujian.

Although Wang Ying didn't return to his hometown many times, his label as a Fujian native could not be washed away.

So Zhu Qizhen could see Wang Ying's little thoughts at a glance, he was seeking benefits for Fujianese.

Wang Ying's answer was also wonderful, and she admitted it openly.

Among the Confucian values, if you seek personal gain for yourself, you are despised, but if you seek benefits for your hometown, it is legitimate and can even be praised.

Many ministers do not shy away from such matters.

It is said that this is the case. Jun County, Changde Prefecture, Henan Province, wanted to send tribute to the capital. However, general tributes were given every year, which brought great burden to the local area. However, a Jun County man became an official in the capital, and he came up with a solution to change the tribute from Jun County to cabbage.

It is not that the cabbage in Junxian is the best, but that the cabbage is the most ordinary and has the lowest burden on the people.

Such things are legendary everywhere.

Wang Ying's openness is a good story even if it is spread.

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a while, and secretly analyzed in his heart the pros and cons.

He was very happy. That is, the Ming Dynasty has very many people who are not resistant to overseas colonization. Of course, this is also related to the folk customs in Fujian.

This is true in Fujian, which does not mean that other provinces are the same. But this is enough for Zhu Qizhen to be happy.

Changing customs is a very difficult thing.

With the current situation, there will be much less colonial resistance in the future.

He turned around and asked the prince, saying, "What do you think the prince?"

The prince immediately said: "The child is still not as considerate as the Marquis of Navigation. The child just thought about how to evaluate Nanyang, and the Marquis of Navigation had already thought about how to govern Nanyang."

"The Ming Dynasty went to Southeast Asia with only two sea routes. If you only operate one side, you will be unstable. Only by working together in the future can you be foolproof."

Zhu Qizhen said: "How about Luzon, Sulu, and other countries?"

Wang Ying said: "Please rest assured that two small countries are two small countries, and Sulu wants to get close to the Ming Dynasty, so he has long been inclined to support it. Now the court has only borrowed a few ports to station troops, and it is not a big deal to seize the territory of the two countries. It is definitely safe."

"Since that's the case," Zhu Qizhen said: "It's decided. But who is the main general of these two groups?"

Wang Ying said, "Your Majesty, I am old and I am already overwhelmed by the heavy use. Let the old minister do something for the elders of my hometown. I only need to bring more than 10,000 naval troops and tens of thousands of Fujian garrison troops, which is enough."

"For other things, please ask His Highness the Crown Prince."

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he knew that Wang Ying was sloppy.

Did Wang Ying not want to get too close to the prince, or did she not want to take up this position similar to that of a military supervisor? But in doing so, Zhu Qizhen was not at ease with the prince.

The prince was worried that his failure in the southern expedition would lead to his decline in prestige. In fact, Zhu Qizhen was also very worried, so he arranged for the prince such gorgeous troops that were almost under the pressure of Mount Tai.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the prince and said, "Prince, what do you mean?"

The prince said, "My son respects the orders of his father."

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment and said to himself: "Others don't feel at ease, but I'm still feeling at ease with Zhang Mao. If you feel at ease, you shouldn't let the prince make a big mistake. And Wang Ying is not tough. Even if he is in the same army, he can suppress the prince's life, which may not be."

"Stop it, just do it."

Among the second generation of nobles, Zhu Qizhen valued people the most, either others or Zhang Mao.

Zhang Mao is the same age as the prince, and he looks like he is not visible or leaking in recent years. It seems that the British Duke's lineage has declined, but Zhu Qizhen knows that Zhang Mao helped the prince suppress various rebellions in Annan and handle military affairs in recent years. It can be said that the prince's military achievements are 80% worth of Zhang Mao.

However, Zhu Qizhen did not promote Zhang Mao.

Because Zhu Qizhen would not reuse Zhang Mao for one day, because Zhang Mao was left for the prince, he expected that if nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be Zhang Mao among the chairs in the Ming Dynasty cabinet in the future.

Moreover, Wang Ying is willing to protect himself. If there is something going on in the future, will he really advise the prince?

Moreover, Zhu Qizhen also heard that the prince did not hope to join Wang Ying. After all, Wang Ying was not strong enough, but had a seniority.

Now Shi Heng, Yang Hong, and Guo Deng are no longer there, and Yang Xin is not there a few years ago. Although he died young compared to his uncle Yang Hong, he was considered to have died young, but his age was nearly sixty when he went there, which was not considered short-lived.

Wang Ying is already one of the most experienced and oldest generals.

Even if Wang Ying is the deputy general of the prince, the prince is not very comfortable.

Zhu Qizhen said: "I will follow the marquis of Navigation."

The Marquis of Navigation Wang Ying immediately said, "I thank Your Majesty."

Zhu Qizhen said: "The people of Fujian are also my people. If you can find a way out for the people of Fujian in Nanyang, I will not be stingy with you a Duke."

The Navigation Marquis Wang Ying felt aroused in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, you have no jokes."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Natural."

The weight of overseas immigrants is in Zhu Qizhen's mind, not what Wang Ying knows.
