Prince of Chaos

After the tour of Jieshi Mountain, Zhu Changluo sent Emperor Wanli to the palace where he was traveling, and left in a hurry.

At this time, Wang Xijue, Wang Jiaping, Shen Sixiao, Dong Qichang and the other four were still waiting for him in the council hall where Beidaihe was walking.

After leaving Emperor Wanli, Zhu Changluo went directly to the meeting hall where he was walking without stopping.

When Wang Xijue saw Zhu Changluo come back, they immediately saluted and said, "I will see Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo quickly walked to his seat in the hall and said, "Pingshen."

Then Zhu Changluo continued to ask: "How is your discussion going?"

Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping looked at each other, and then replied: "The ministers and others suggest that we should take advantage of this opportunity to make a quick decision to deal with the Japanese pirates in North Korea."

Zhu Changluo was noncommittal, and then asked Shen Sixiao and Dong Qichang: "What about Er Qing's suggestion?"

Shen Sixiao didn't understand military affairs, he and Dong Qichang looked at each other, and Dong Qichang stood up.

Dong Qichang is one of the few people who really knows the strategy of the Korean War.

Dong Qichang said: "I dare not agree with the cabinet's suggestion. I believe that the Japanese pirates at this moment are mourners. Although the sudden death of the Toyotomi family will hit the morale of the Japanese pirates to a certain extent. However, if they march on a large scale at this moment, it may cause the Japanese pirates to fight. A venting counterattack is not conducive to the current excellent form of our army."

"I suggest that at this moment, our army should wait and see the changes, and respond to all changes with the same. When the right time comes, one battle will determine the world!"

Zhu Changluo hummed, and said: "What the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department said are all reasonable, so let's wait for Xing Jie's reply. I have sent an order for Xing Jie to report to Shanhaiguan. I want to hear about his war against North Korea. the opinion of."

Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping were stunned for a moment, they did not expect such a result in the end.

Psychologically, both of them longed for the early end of the Korean War.

Because, the end of the Korean War will benefit the two of them enormously.

When the Korean War is over, the power of the Military Aircraft Department will be correspondingly weakened, and the cabinet will immediately suppress the Military Aircraft Department.

So, the two decided to fight again.

Wang Xijue said: "Your Highness, the King of Joseon has also gone to the memorial. He thinks that this is the moment when the Japanese pirates are weak. He said in the memorial that he will summon the soldiers of the whole country to help the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty to completely wipe out the Japanese pirates."

"The minister believes that this is a golden opportunity, and he should agree to the King of Joseon's suggestion, and let the King of Joseon order to summon all the soldiers and civilians of North Korea to fight against the Japanese."

Zhu Changluo took a look at Wang Xijue, and Wang Jiaping immediately followed him and said, "I agree with Yuanfu's suggestion."

At this time, even Shen Sixiao, who didn't understand military affairs, came to his senses, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping's wishful thinking.

Shen Sixiao also immediately stepped forward and said: "I have objections. What Dong Shangshu said just now is quite correct. The Japanese pirates at this moment are mourners. I, Ming, should wait for the opportunity to fight. I can't rush forward lightly, causing an accident in an otherwise good battle."

"Besides, North Korea is not trustworthy. Although I don't know anything about military affairs, I have participated in the two Korean wars. In the two Japanese invasions, North Korea failed to organize an effective counterattack. They were all collapsed at the first touch, and the country was almost destroyed."

"If the king of Joseon's suggestion is approved, if the Korean army and civilians are still vulnerable and the Japanese pirates take advantage of the situation to fight back, wouldn't that put our Ming soldiers in a dangerous situation?"

...

"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains, Wind and Moon"

"Therefore, I suggest that you should wait for the time to move and wait for the opportunity. After Governor Xing returns from North Korea and understands the specific situation on the front line, it will not be too late to make a decision."

Zhu Changluo hummed, "Shen Qing's words are old-fashioned to seek the country. Military and state affairs are not interrupted for a while. Only after a comprehensive information assessment can a safe disposal be made."

"Decree to Liaodong, so that the Liaodong army is always ready. If there is a war opportunity, the Liaodong army can be transferred to North Korea at any time, subject to Xing Jie's control."

Zhu Changluo made up his mind in an instant, he was determined to procrastinate, and by the way, he also wanted to move the Li family's power in Liaodong.

Now, Li Rusong is guarding Daxing'anling City like a vassal. Within hundreds of miles around Daxinganling, he has the right to do whatever he wants, life and death.

If he still let his younger brother serve as the general soldier in Liaodong, after a long time, it will inevitably breed arrogance.

Once the border will give birth to arrogance and indulgence, it will be a catastrophe for the country and the people.

Although Zhu Changluo is different from the people of this era, he intends to improve the status of soldiers.

However, he will never indulge!
Because, Zhu Changluo knew that if these frontier generals with heavy soldiers were indulged blindly, they would most likely become the second Anlu Mountain!
Therefore, when it is time to suppress, you must not be soft-handed, and when it is time to make adjustments, you must not hesitate.

The Li family has been in Liaodong for 30 years, and it is time to move.

This is not only good for the Li family, but also good for the court.

After discussing this matter, Zhu Changluo said to the cabinet and Shen Sixiao: "After the Jingning Cement Road is completed, I am determined to build the Jingliao Cement Road. This road will be built by Xishan Huangzhuang and the Ministry of Industry. After the construction is completed, this road will be built. According to the operation of Jingning Cement Road, a relevant road maintenance office will be established.”

"At that time, the road tolls paid by merchants leading to this road will be settled to the Ministry of Industry after deducting the cost of road maintenance, and will be used for other large-scale construction projects of the imperial court. What do you think?"

After Shen Sixiao heard this proposal, he immediately replied: "I have no objection."

However, at this time Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping disagreed.

Wang Xijue said: "I have no objection, but I think that after the road is built, the road money collected should be settled in the household department. The Ministry of Industry has already received most of the income from the cement quota, but the household department has been empty. Therefore, I suggest that, The rest of the road money will be returned to the household department and handed over to the imperial court for unified arrangement."

After Zhu Changluo listened to Wang Xijue's words, he said: "What you said is reasonable. The household department has been short-lived all year round, and the court has been living a hard life. It is also reasonable to find a way for the household department to make money. However, this After all, the road was built by Xishan Huangzhuang and the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households did not spend a single penny, and it just took benefits, which is not justified."

"You can discuss this matter again, come up with a feasible plan and hand it over to the orphan, and the orphan will handle it at its discretion."

Zhu Changluo just wanted to kick the ball out, let the cabinet and the Ministry of Industry have a fight, and by the way, the Ministry of Households also came in to have fun.

Otherwise, how could the Six Departments of the imperial court, which had always been stagnant, be able to adapt to Zhu Changluo's arrangements for them?
Now, use the construction and benefits of this road to stimulate them first, so that they can be active and efficient in doing things through this road.

...

It's also the best of both worlds.

When Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping heard Zhu Changluo's proposal, they naturally had no objection.Shen Sixiao also knows how to advance and retreat, and also understands that the crown prince will not let a family like the Ministry of Industry dominate.

What's more, he is now the chief of the military aircraft department, and the specific affairs of the Ministry of Industry have now been handed over to the left servant of the Ministry of Industry.

I believe that in the near future, when the Military Aircraft Department is stabilized, the military ministers in the Military Aircraft Department will no longer serve as ministerial affairs, just like the cabinet ministers, and become a dedicated decision-making body.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need for Shen Sixiao to fight for the final interests of this road at the expense of a bright future for the sake of this immediate benefit.

Dong Qichang could also see clearly from the sidelines that these things seemed simple, but in fact the crown prince was looking for work for the cabinet and the Ministry of Industry and Household Affairs, and the intention of finding work for them was also obvious, that is to make them fight.

As long as they start fighting, Zhu Changluo, as the referee, will naturally play his role and arrange them clearly.

The reason why Dong Qichang read it so thoroughly is because he is the one who has followed Zhu Changluo the longest among the four.

He has also participated in many things planned by Zhu Changluo. Therefore, according to the arrangements and changes in front of him, Dong Qichang has a vague feeling that the next step is that the Crown Prince will probably reform the powers of the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Households, just like cleaning up the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
