Qin Liangyu preached relatively quickly, and he finished reading it in less than an hour, involving all aspects of the Ming army, but he also deliberately concealed some things.
For example, the amount of military salaries, the treatment of soldiers, weapons and equipment, such as the specific number and layout of the army, and the situation of the armies such as Ānnán, Wakoku, and Ryukyu, as well as the extent to which the navy has expanded, and how it will develop, etc.
However, Qin Liangyu's report focused on some threats, such as the nomadic threat that the Central Plains Dynasty had always faced, and exaggerated the repeated invasions of the Mongols, especially the Moxi Mongols, their scale and development dynamics.
Although Monan Mongolia was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, Mobei Mongolia surrendered, and there was no invasion in recent years, and Moxi Mongolia's detention of Gansu has become extinct, but Qin Liangyu only gave a few examples, which made the chamber buzz for a while, and many people had solemn faces and vigilant eyes.
Then the Southeast Peninsula, Qin Liangyu focused on the dominance of Siam in the Southeast Peninsula, the obvious intention of expansion, and the Ming Dynasty canonized the crown prince last year, and the king did not go to Beijing, and afterwards asked for a perfunctory crime.
This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, and even the people who were watching were angry and angry.
The other is Myanmar, this country does not need Qin Liangyu to say much, the war that lasted for nearly fifty years during the Wanli period has not been forgotten, Qin Liangyu slightly exaggerated, and some parliamentarians stood up on the spot and asked the imperial court to send troops to crusade against it, so as to uphold the national prestige of the Heavenly Dynasty!
After Qin Liangyu finished speaking, there was a burst of discussion in the conference hall, and as Fu Changzong did not stop it, the voice became louder and louder, not only the provincial seats, but also the entire conference hall There was a fierce debate.
Zhu Xu sat in the center and took a sip of tea with a smile on his face.
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 sideways at Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, the parliamentarians are indignant, and they are a little dissatisfied with the number of troops in our dynasty and ask for more troops. ” Zhu Xu smiled, turned his head sideways and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that, although it's noisy, I also heard that someone is clamoring to lead troops to attack Burma." ” Sun Chengzong didn't feel embarrassed at all by Zhu Xu, his dry left hand groped for the chair, and said with a smile: "It's all some sentimental words, the emperor doesn't have to care." ” Sun Chuanting on Zhu Xu's left seemed to be sitting upright, but his ears were actually erected, listening to the conversation between Zhu Xu and Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chuanting knew very well that part of Qin Liangyu's speech was revised by Zhu Xu, especially these exaggerations of external threats, most of which were Zhu Xu's requests.
Is there another purpose in this, Your Majesty is going to war again?
Or do you have other intentions?
These are of great importance to Sun Chuanting, who is working with all his heart to solve the problem of the 'New Deal', because he does not want to distract himself from his spirit, nor does he want to distract from his weak national strength.
Zhu Xu didn't pay attention to Sun Chuanting, listening to Sun Chengzong's words, the potential meaning was very clear, Zhu Xu reassured him, nodded and said: "Although it is spirit, it must be taken care of, they represent the people of my Ming Dynasty, pay attention to ways and means, don't let the people feel that the court is weak, and the morale of the people is very important......"
In fact, Zhu Xu was too worried about this, when was Daming weak?
No compromise, no negotiation, this is not something that anyone who wants to be weak can be weak.
Judging from previous events, this kind of strength has penetrated into the blood of the Ming Dynasty, and the occasional compromisers have been torn to shreds without exception, not to mention the surrender factions that never existed.
Sun Chengzong couldn't stand up yet, sat in a wheelchair, leaned over, and said, "Yes, the minister understands."
The ministers asked Vice Marshal Qin and Vice Marshal Cao to be interviewed by the Chaobao after the meeting to explain the national defense strategy in detail. ” Zhu Xu bowed his head slightly and did not say anything more.
Sun Chuanting, who was on Zhu Xu's left, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on his serious face.
If you are not affected by the anger of the parliamentarians, you will not have much of a problem if you go according to the established plan.
This was followed by a half-hour recess for the parliamentarians' discussions.
The governors ran around their respective seats, collected drafts, and then held small meetings with Sun Chuanting and others.
Half an hour later, the draft was quickly revised, with some details and some words and expressions revised, but there was no big change.
The vote was also quite smooth, and this time as many as four hundred and seven people agreed, although the parliamentarians were still dissatisfied, believing that the number of troops was too small to defend the Ming Dynasty, which now has a vast territory.
After this time, the sky was about to darken, and there was a dinner meeting below, and Fu Changzong said 'adjournment' and ended the first day of the meeting.
Zhu Xu, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others left the parliament and came to the Qianqing Palace.
The ministers were still relatively relaxed on their faces, sitting in the Dongnuan Pavilion, chatting and laughing with Zhu Xu, and talking about some parliamentary matters.
Zhu Xu is naturally good at appeasing and appreciating.
Zhu Ciye, Zhu Ciyi, and Zhu Cixuan stood behind Zhu Xu, and the little ones listened to the conversation between Zhu Xu and the ministers, and their faces were almost unanimous.
Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "Is there a problem with tomorrow's relevant personnel appointments?"
” This year's personnel appointments are relatively large, such as the confirmation of Zhao Han and Shen Xun's entry into the cabinet, the supplementary recognition of the six Shangshu and Shilang, the arrangements for officials from other departments, and the transfer of various governors, etc., naturally also include the military, such as the appointment of deputy marshal of Cao Wenzhao's marshal's office, and the rotation of general soldiers in various places.
There are a lot of things involved, and I am afraid that it is reluctant at the end of the day, and those who need to be appeased have to be appeased again, so as to finalize and end these things.
Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers are ready and there will be no problems." ” The official position is the most sensitive, even if enough arrangements have been made in private, but no one dares to guarantee that there will be no moths on the scene tomorrow, if there is a trouble, Sun Chuanting and other ministers and Zhu Xu will be very embarrassed.
Zhu Xu trusted Sun Chuanting very much, smiled and nodded, turned to Sun Chengzong, and said, "Marshal, here in the Shuai Mansion, do you have any thoughts on my arrangement?"
We have been monarchs and ministers for many years, and we can speak openly and honestly. ” Perhaps it was gradually retiring for a while, Sun Chengzong's expression did not have his previous solemnity, and he smiled calmly and relaxedly: "The emperor can rest assured, the minister has no opinion."
Cao Wenzhao's entry into the marshal's mansion was also the minister's idea.
Vice Marshal Qin and the Marshal's Mansion supported the emperor's decision and had no other ideas. ” Seeing Sun Chengzong's calm expression, Zhu Xu was also comfortable in his heart.
These are all Zhu Xu's ministers, if they can work with one heart and one mind, what else can't be done?
Zhu Xu was happy in his heart, so he said: "The dinner party in the evening can be more relaxed, we can fill the Qianqing Palace, and the Kunning Palace can also be placed, if the family members of the people who participated in the big meeting are in Beijing, the orders of the honorable ministers, Mrs., etc., can be brought into the palace, and they are also the meritorious men of my Ming Dynasty......
Sun Chuanting and the others listened, raised their hands in unison, and said, "Ministers, thank the emperor for his compassion." ” In their eyes, this is Zhu Xu's imperial grace, a reward, and a means to win over these courtiers.
Zhu Xu waved his hand and talked about other things, resting while waiting for the evening meeting.
