I want to be a grandson

"Your Majesty, my humble ministers are stupid, why not invent the Japanese slave country and capture them in one fell swoop?"

After the others left, Tie Xuan stayed alone, and he couldn't help asking his own questions.

Because he knew that His Majesty wanted to destroy the Japanese slave country a long time ago, and now there are Japanese pirates harassing the coastal areas of Daming, just in time to send troops.

But His Majesty only sent Li Jinglong to inspect the coastal guards to make preparations for preventing Japanese pirates, and sent Ma He to wipe out Japanese pirates at sea.

Although this has some effects, it is almost impossible to wipe out the Japanese pirates.
After all, Daming's coastline is too long, it's hard to guard against it.

Zhu Yunxi replied: "The war between the north and the south of the Japanese slave country has not yet come to an end, and both sides still have power, but there are too many casualties now, and the casualties brought to the soldiers by sending troops now will inevitably be greater..."

"Besides, all goodness and filial piety come first, so try not to send troops this year if you can, at least for the first half of the year..."

Does filial piety have anything to do with sending troops?

Tie Xuan was a little dazed for a moment, not understanding what he meant by filial piety.

"What else do you need?" Seeing that he still hadn't left, Zhu Yunxi asked impatiently.

"Uh, Weichen has one more thing..."

Tie Xuan didn't dare to delay, looked left and right, lowered his voice three minutes and said: "Your Majesty, Hou Guishan of the Wonu Kingdom has come again, and he asked Daming to give him great support.
In addition to food and grass, there are also military equipment, preferably Daming's firearms and cannons. It is said that these things can be equipped for the next step of the battle, and the Northern Dynasty will be driven into the sea in one go..."

Hou Guishan, as an envoy of the Southern Dynasty, came secretly and did not make any noise.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Didn't they allocate a batch of food and grass before, why did they eat it up so quickly, how could Daming have so much food for them!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jiang Yu, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, who was beside him.

Knowing that this was His Majesty's inquiry, Jiang Yu hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, according to the report from Jin Yiwei's spies in the Wonu Kingdom, several sea breezes blew up in the Wonu Kingdom last fall, and all the crops that were about to be harvested were blown down.

Therefore, the crops could not be filled with grout, and the harvest was extremely low. Some places were flooded by the rain brought by the strong wind, and there was almost no harvest. "

"Not only that, but because of the heavy rain and heavy water, many places cannot be cultivated in autumn, so the fields are barren until now...

In addition, earthquakes occurred in several places in the Wonu country last year, mud and rocks erupted, crops, fields and villages were destroyed, and they were unable to provide disaster relief, so many desperadoes were born..."

"Oh, so that's the case, internal and external troubles..."

This is a sad thing, after all, it is a natural disaster.

But Zhu Yunxi felt inexplicably joyful...

Well, that's not right,
I have to stretch...

In the place of Wonu country, there are typhoons in summer and hurricanes in winter, and the wind and wind are endless!Big earthquake, small earthquake, safe earthquake!
They are all used to it.

Since the family is calm, why should others worry about it.

"So, they will run out of food this summer?" Zhu Yunxie asked with concern.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't be summer, and there will be two months to go before the harvest, and then they will have almost no food available..." Jiang Yu replied. …

Tie Xuan said: "Your Majesty, the people of the Southern Dynasties also predicted that there would be a famine in the Wonu country, so they desperately wanted some food.
With the supply of food, their power will completely overwhelm the Northern Dynasty, thus securing the victory in one fell swoop..."

Zhu Yunxi asked: "You mean, give it to them?"

Tie Xuan took a deep breath, and saluted solemnly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I feel that I should give it, but I can't give it all, and I can't give it according to their wishes!"

"You can give a little in the early stage, stabilize them first, and then the amount given is only enough for their soldiers and soldiers to eat, and they can't be fed too much!"

Looking at Tie Xuan, who was serious and upright, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but want to laugh.

This is a loyal minister!

The one who is ruthless to the enemy is the loyal minister of Ming Dynasty!

The worse the more loyal!

At this time, there is no need for any moral role model, no modest gentleman, let alone compassion!

Tie Xuan's strategy is right!
The food given to them is only enough to feed the army, so that they will fight hard, and they will be eager to obtain more military merits, and then exchange for food...

As for the life and death of other people...it's not the common people of Ming Dynasty, no matter what they do!
Besides, even if there is an ocean between them, Zhu Yunxi can't do it if he wants to be kind...

Can't do anything...

In a few months, the entire Japanese slave country will suffer from famine and fall into chaos...

"Ugh……"

Zhu Yunxi sighed heavily, and said: "There are tens of millions of people in my Ming Dynasty, and there are many poor families. I have limited talents and virtues, and it is already difficult for me to take care of the people of Daming. I am so stretched, I really can't take care of other things. Alas, I hope God Be kind to them..."

"Your Majesty's benevolence, I am very impressed..." Jiang Yu seized the opportunity and immediately offered a flattery.

Zhu Yunxie ordered: "But since they have something to ask for, we can't refuse at all... Let's give them some unused low-quality iron materials, and the price won't be too high..."

"Yes, I obey!"

……

Back home, Tie Xuan met Hou Guishan in the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Hou Guishan couldn't wait to ask: "Master Tie, how is the situation? Has the Ming court responded to our request?"

Tie Xuan took a few sips from the teacup, and said in a low voice, "What's the rush? Such a big matter can't be answered overnight. The court will go through the court meeting to discuss it. It's useless if you are in a hurry."

Hou Guishan said with a bitter face, "Master Tie, I have to be in a hurry, those of us who hold important official positions only have two meals of gruel every day, and we are about to stop cooking.
The soldiers below couldn't get enough to eat every day. Their hungry chests stuck to their backs, and they clamored for food every day. If this went on like this, they would definitely mutiny! "

Tie Xuan sat on the chair, supported his lower back with both hands, and said, "It's hard for you, but it's easy for us in Ming Dynasty? Last year, the Yellow River was flooded in autumn, and several places in Henan were flooded.
In addition, there was a plague of locusts in Jiangxi last year, and there was a drought in Shaanxi, and there was no rain for a long time..."

"The food stored in the national treasury is going to help these victims. Yesterday the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs also said that the government's stored food may bottom out this year..."

It doesn't matter whether these disasters happen or not, as long as you sell miserably! …

Anyway, he couldn't visit them one by one.

Hou Guishan didn't know that this was his excuse, he was as anxious as ants on a hot pot,

Walking to Tie Xuan's side, he bent down and said, "My lord, I know that Daming is not easy... But we really can't hold on anymore, how can soldiers fight without food,

The Northern Dynasty has contacted us several times, requesting that the two sides cease fighting, and wait for the domestic situation to improve before fighting..."

Hearing this, Tie Xuan couldn't help frowning.

"Snapped!"

The tea bowl in his hand was placed heavily on the table, "What do you mean by that? What does it have to do with Daming whether you cease the war?"

"Let me remind you again, Da Ming supports your Southern Dynasty as orthodoxy, but will not intervene in your struggles!
The reason why I give you food and goods and get what Daming needs from you is just a normal trade transaction! "

"It's still the same sentence, Da Ming doesn't want you to fight and kill each other. It would be great if you can sit down and have a good talk and resolve this matter without bloodshed!"

Qing knew that what she just said was wrong, as if she was saying that Da Ming did not want a truce between the North and the South...

So Hou Guishan quickly apologized and said: "Look at my stinky mouth! I speak upside down, I should be hit!"

As he said that, he slapped himself on the mouth with a slap, and then slapped him several times in a row.

"Okay, okay, who hasn't had a moment to slip up." Tie Xuan stopped him.

Only then did Guishan stop: "Master Tie has a lot of people, don't be as knowledgeable as me...Da Ming's mind and benevolence are clearly understood by all countries..."

"My lord, it's just that we can't hold on any longer, and we don't dare to stop the war. If there is a truce, it will definitely give the Northern Dynasty a chance to breathe. When they make a comeback, the Southern Dynasty will definitely fall into a passive position and repeat the previous situation of being oppressed by them... ..."

"So no matter what, please help us to restore the orthodoxy. The Wanu Kingdom is willing to be the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty forever!"

"Ugh……"

Tie Xuan sighed: "It's hard for you, but it's easy for us... Well, I'll try my best to mediate for you in the court, and try to get some food for you.

It's just that I'm afraid there aren't many, so don't be offended..."

"Wherever there is an adult speaking, the subordinates can rest assured. Nanchao is grateful for the kindness of the adult, and will definitely remember it in his heart!"

Tie Xuan glanced at him, hesitated and said: "You are raising food everywhere, so what about the people in the Northern Dynasty, will they be idle?"

Hou Guishan didn't know, so he asked in a daze, "What does your lord mean?"

Tie Xuan hesitated for a moment, and said as if he had made a lot of determination: "My words are just to talk to you, and do not represent the Ming court, do you understand?"

Hou Guishan knew that he must have something to tell him, so he quickly bowed his head and said yes, urging him to tell him quickly.

Tie Xuan said: "Since my Ming Dynasty sent a mission to the Western Ocean, the pirates entrenched in the Western Ocean have been almost wiped out, so it is almost impossible for the people of the Northern Dynasty to obtain food from the southern countries..."

Not in the Northern Dynasties, nor in the Southern Dynasties!
"What do you mean, sir?"

Hou Guishan immediately figured out the secret, widened his eyes and said, "You mean that people in the Northern Dynasties would get food from Korea?"...

"It's just a conjecture that has not been confirmed."

"No no no!"

Hou Guishan took a deep breath, waved his hands again and again, and said, "Your Excellency is right! It won't work in the south, they will definitely try to get food from Korea! Of course they will!"

"I'm just saying it casually, it's just for this consideration, you don't have to take it seriously..."

Seeing him enlightened, Tie Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, no one likes to play the piano against a cow.

"I will report this news back immediately, thank you sir!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, you're welcome..."

Hou Guishan put this aside for the time being, and said to Tie Xuan: "My lord, I actually have an unfeeling request when I come here this time. I don't know if it is appropriate to say it?"

At this time, Tie Xuan became much more approachable, with a warm smile on his face: "There are no outsiders here except you and me. If you have something to say, it doesn't matter."

"In this case, the servant will be bold..."

After considering the words, Hou Guishan said cautiously: "My lord, I know that the army of the Ming Dynasty is powerful and mighty...

You, my lord, are also aware of the situation in the country of Wonu. Although the power of the Northern Dynasties has been greatly weakened, there is a Chinese saying that "a centipede is dead but not stiff",
We want to completely defeat them and occupy the entire country, it is very difficult to do it in a short period of time, but the war has been delayed for too long, and we are afraid that something will happen..."

"There is also Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Northern Dynasty. I have to say that he is a very prestigious person, and he is also very scheming, with vicious methods, and ordinary people are hard to guard against..."

Listening to his words, Tie Xuan suddenly felt a little clouded, and didn't understand what he was going to say.
I was too lazy to go around in circles with him, so I asked directly: "Then what do you mean..."

Hou Guishan plucked up his courage and said: "I wonder if we can ask Daming to send troops to help the vassal small country...defeat the traitors!"

"..."

Tie Xuan frowned, and couldn't help but fell silent.

A Sichuan character shape was formed in the middle of the eyebrows, and they gathered together again after a while, looking very tangled.

"My lord, do you think it's okay to..."

After waiting for a long time, Hou Guishan didn't see him agreeing, so he tried to remind him.

"Is this what you mean, or what you Nan Chao mean?" Tie Xuan asked.

Seeing that there seemed to be something going on, Hou Guishan hurriedly laughed and said, "My lord, to be honest, this is the feeling of all the generals in the Southern Dynasty. They are just afraid that Daming will not borrow troops, so they dare not bring it up, lest they will be insulted... "

"Oh……"

Tie Xuan let out a long "Oh" and nodded heavily, "I understand, you are here to spy on me."

Hou Guishan said with a smile: "The Southern Dynasties are in awe of the Shang Kingdom, so they dare not speak lightly, so please enlighten me."

Tie Xuan rubbed his sore brows, and said: "This kind of thing is unprecedented... I am afraid that the court officials will find it hard to agree..."

Hou Guishan was a little disappointed immediately.

"Borrow troops from Daming, what reason are you going to use to convince the world?" Tie Xuan asked.

Hou Guishan gritted his teeth and said with all his breath, "Master Tie, after the fall of the Northern Dynasties, we are willing to present the Guoqian, Sedan, and Toothless Islands in the north of Beihai Island to Daming!"

Iron Fist looked at him suspiciously and said, "Well... where are you talking about? I remember that there are no other islands further north of Beihai Island..."

"Uh, yes, these islands are very big..." Hou Guishan quickly explained.

"Do you have a picture, you can show me..."

Realizing that I was acting wrong, as if I wanted someone else's land,
This is too inconsistent with my gentleman's magnanimous temperament!
It doesn't fit the image of Daming Rende either!
So Tie Xuan hurriedly said: "Da Ming has a vast territory, and I don't care what islands you have, but it's better than nothing, at least it can be used to persuade the courtiers to agree to lend you troops..."

Hou Guishan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what your lord said is...

It’s just this picture, so you don’t need to look at it…”
