Chapter 1486 Rendering Threats
Qin Liangyu preached very quickly and finished reading it in less than an hour. It involved all aspects of the Ming army, but he also deliberately concealed some things.
For example, the amount of military pay, the treatment of soldiers, weapons and equipment, the specific number of troops, arrangements, the situation of the troops in Annan, Japan, Ryukyu, etc., as well as the extent to which the navy has expanded, how to develop, etc.
However, Qin Liangyu's report focused on exaggerating some threats, such as the nomadic threats that the Central Plains dynasty have been facing, and exaggerating the repeated invasions of Mongolia, especially Mongolia in Moxi, their scale and development trends.
Although Mongolia in the south of the Mohe was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia in the north of the Mohe was surrendered, and there was no invasion in recent years. Mongolia in the west of the Mohe was extinct, but Qin Liangyu only gave a few examples, which made the convention hall buzz. Many people looked solemn and looked alert.
Then it was the Southeast Peninsula. Qin Liangyu focused on the dominant Siam in the Southeast Peninsula, with obvious intentions to expand, and last year the Ming Dynasty was crowned the prince, but the king actually left Beijing, and then apologized for perfunctory.
This naturally aroused dissatisfaction among many people, and even the onlookers scolded them angrily.
The other is Myanmar. This country does not need Qin Liangyu to say much. The war that lasted for nearly 50 years in the Wanli period has not been forgotten. After Qin Liangyu's slight exaggeration, some members of parliament stood up on the spot and asked the court to send troops to attack to revive the prestige of the Celestial Empire!
When Qin Liangyu finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the conference hall. As Fu Changzong did not stop it, the voice became louder and louder. Not only the provincial seats, but also fierce debates occurred in the entire conference hall.
Zhu Xu sat in the center and took a leisurely sip of tea with a smile.
From time to time, cabinet officials came and went, whispering in the ears of Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and other cabinet ministers.
Not long after, Sun Chengzong turned his chair and smiled to Zhu Xu sideways and said, "Master, the members of the parliament are indignant. They are a little dissatisfied with the number of our troops in the north and demand an increase in the army."
Zhu Xu smiled and turned his head and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that. Although it's noisy, I have heard that someone is clamoring to lead troops to attack Myanmar."
Sun Chengzong was not embarrassed by Zhu Xu at all. He groped with his dry left hand and smiled and said, "It's all a singular word, the emperor doesn't have to care."
Sun Chuanting on Zhu Xu's left seemed to be sitting upright, but his ears were actually standing up, listening to Zhu Xu's conversation with Sun Chengzong indifferently.
Sun Chuanting knew very well that part of Qin Liangyu's speech was modified by Zhu Xu, especially these exaggerated external threats, which were mostly Zhu Xu's request.
Is there any other purpose here that Your Majesty is going to start a war again? Or is there any other intention?
These are crucial for Sun Chuanting, who has fully solved the problem of the "New Deal". He does not want to distract himself or his weak national strength.
Zhu Xu didn't pay attention to Sun Chuanting. Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, the potential intention was very clear. Zhu Xu gave him peace of mind and nodded and said, "Although it is an intention, we should take care of it. They represent the people of the Ming Dynasty. We should pay attention to the methods and methods, and don't let the people feel that the court is weak. National morale is very important..."
In fact, Zhu Xu was too worried about this. When did the Ming Dynasty be weak? If you don’t compromise, you will never discuss peace. This is not something that anyone can be weak if you want to be weak.
Judging from previous events, this kind of strength has penetrated into the blood of the Ming Dynasty. The occasionally compromise faction was torn to pieces without exception, let alone the surrender faction that never existed.
Sun Chengzong could not stand up yet, sat in a wheelchair, leaned forward and said, "Yes, I understand. I will ask Deputy Marshal Qin and Deputy Marshal Cao to accept an interview with the court newspaper after the meeting, and explain the national defense strategy in detail."
Zhu Xu had a slight head and said nothing more.
Sun Chuanting, who was on the left of Zhu Xu, breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his serious face.
It would be better if you were not affected by the anger of the MPs. If you follow the established plan, there would be no big problem.
Next is the discussion time for the members of the parliamentary, and the meeting was suspended for half an hour. The governors ran around their respective seats, collected draft opinions, and then held a small meeting with Sun Chuanting and others.
Half an hour later, the draft opinion was quickly revised, and some details were revised, and some words and expressions were revised, without any major changes.
The vote was also quite smooth, with as many as 407 people agreeing this time, although the parliamentarians were still dissatisfied, believing that the number of troops was too small to protect the current vast territory of the Ming Dynasty.
After this, it was getting dark and there was a dinner party below. Fu Changzong said "Add to the meeting" and ended the first day's meeting.
Zhu Xu, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others left the parliament and came to the Ganqing Palace.
The ministers were quite relaxed in their faces. They sat in the East Warehouse, chatting and laughing with Zhu Xu, and talking about some matters about the parliament.
Zhu Xu naturally comforted her and praised her.
The three princes Zhu Ciye, Zhu Ciyi and Zhu Cihuang stood behind Zhu Xu. The little guys listened to Zhu Xu's conversation with the ministers, and their faces were almost consistent.
Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "Is there any problem with the relevant personnel appointments tomorrow?"
There are many personnel appointments this year, including confirmation of Zhao Han and Chen Xun's entry into the cabinet, the re-recognition of the six ministers and ministers, the arrangements of officials from other departments, and the relocation of governors, etc., which naturally include military, such as the appointment of the deputy marshal of Cao Wenzhao's commander and the rotation of generals from various places.
There are so many things involved, and I’m afraid that it’s a must-have to be relieved after a day. Those who need to be comforted must be comforted again to finally make sure to finish these things.
Sun Chuanting thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, my elders, I am ready, there will be no problems."
The official position is the most sensitive. Even if you make sufficient arrangements in private, no one can guarantee that there will be no trouble on the scene tomorrow. If the trouble starts, Sun Chuanting and other cabinet ministers and Zhu Xu will be very embarrassed.
Zhu Xu trusted Sun Chuanting very much, smiled and nodded, turned to Sun Chengzong, and said, "Marantor, do you have any ideas about my arrangements in the General's Mansion? Our monarch and ministers have been doing it openly and honestly for many years."
Perhaps because he gradually retired for a while, Sun Chengzong's expression was no longer as calm as before, and he smiled calmly and relaxedly: "Don't worry, my elders, I have no objection. Cao Wenzhao's entry into the General's Mansion was also my intention. Deputy Marshal Qin and the General's Mansion supported the Emperor's decision, and he had no other thoughts."
Seeing that Sun Chengzong looked calm, Zhu Xu felt relieved. These are Zhu Xu's loyal ministers. If he could be united and behaved, what else could he do?
Zhu Xu was happy and said, "You can relax the evening meals. We will fill the Ganqing Palace and Kunning Palace. If the families of those who participated in the grand discussion are in Beijing, the imperial edicts and wives of nobles and nobles can be brought into the palace. They are also meritorious ministers of our Ming Dynasty..."
Sun Chuanting and others listened, raised their hands together and said, "I am grateful to the emperor for his compassion."
In their opinion, this was Zhu Xu's great emperor's grace, a means to reward and win over these ministers.
