The next day, morning court!

The palace where the court affairs were discussed was replaced by the "Old Driver" palace.

As mentioned earlier, a year ago, Zhu Zilong ordered the construction of three new palaces, namely the "Old Driver" Palace, the "Driving" Palace, and the "Take Me" Palace. Together, the "Hand Driver" Palace is the "Take Me" Palace. The old driver drives and takes me!

Now, the "Old Driver" Palace is completed ahead of schedule!

So, the emperor's clone Zhu Zilong directly ordered that the morning court was scheduled to be held in the "Old Driver" Palace from then on.

The old driver talks about things in the palace first. When the discussion is almost done!

Zhu Zilong's emperor clone sat on the dragon throne, named Man Gui out of the list, and asked him to tell him about the general layout policy after returning to the border.

Man Gui seemed very excited and began to explain his three-party layout strategy for Ping Liao in detail.

He also emphasized that his three-party layout strategy has actually evolved into four parties and added near-Mongol tribes. He also suggested that Mongolia be rewarded appropriately as encouragement, strengthen their determination to resist slavery, maintain friendly contact, and use money and food as bait to induce continued troops to harass Korqin, making it difficult for Jiannuwei to take care of it.

All officials knew that Mangui was a Mongolian, but they understood what he said.

The Mongolians during this period were very chaotic, as messy as mercenaries. Many tribes followed whoever gave money and had their fists.

Therefore, one-third of the Mongolians now follow the Later Jin Dynasty, one-third are close to the Ming Dynasty, and one-third are not happy with anyone. Of course, the more chaotic they are, the more they are fulfilled.

When Man Gui talked a lot, he stopped for a while.

Zhu Zilong smiled on the dragon throne and said, "Men Aiqing, your strategy is very good. In short, although you did not participate in the last battle of Liaodong, you still made great contributions, which proved that your strategy is very correct and is very suitable for the Liaodong battlefield. However, is it the most suitable? Well, you have read this secret memorial first!"

While speaking, Wang Chengen stepped forward and delivered the memorial handed down by Zhu Zilong to Man Gui.

When Man Gui was about to finish reading, Zhu Zilong said on it: "This memorial is reported to the Union for a strategy to counterattack against Jiannu, which was also proposed by an official from Liaodong. He boasted in the memorial that if the Union adopted his strategy, then the whole Liao Dynasty would be pacified within five years! Tell me, does this possibility he proposed exist?"

While speaking, a faint smile flashed across Zhu Zilong's mouth.

"In the fifth year of pacifying Liao? He is so sure? Who is it?" After reading the memorial without a name, Man Gui asked in surprise with wide eyes.

Zhu Zilong smiled but did not answer, but instead smiled in a silence and asked the officials: "All my dear friends, do you believe it? What do you think?"

The Minister of Revenue was suspicious and stood up and replied: "I heard that some of the generals were skeptical and felt a little boasting. But we also remember that since the 45th year of Wanli, the imperial court has spent countless soldiers, horses, money and food to pacify Jiannu from Liaodong."

"The battlefield in Liaodong is like a bottomless pit, and the national treasury can't stand it anymore. So, if it is possible to discuss it, the Ming Dynasty will endure it for another five years with its belt tied, and it will be a one-time and for all!"

Obviously, the Ministry of Revenue has been under great pressure over the years, and from an economic perspective, it is still inclined to believe that this plan is more important.

However, the next second.

Man Gui immediately shouted: "Absurd! Absurd! With Shanhaiguan as the backbone, Ningyuan as the backbone, Jinzhou as the vanguard, and multiple fortresses were built as joint defense bases. Not to mention that the Ming treasury could not support such a large expense. Even if the treasury could be supported, when the main force of Jiannu came, the Ming army stationed in each fort could only fight on their own. If Jiannu defeated them one by one, the fate would only be even worse!"

"But the memorial says that after adopting this strategy, it can effectively reduce the arable land of Jiannu and make Jiannu have no food available."

At this time, the memorial had been sent to the ministers to watch in turn, but the names were not marked.

A cabinet minister flashed his expression and suddenly stood up and said.

However, Man Gui was not stupid either. He knelt down directly at Zhu Zilong and replied: "Your Majesty, the fertile land of the Liaodong Plain is thousands of miles away. Jiannu wants to farm in a military farm, and the land in Liaodong is enough. It is necessary to run so far to farm between Ningyuan and Jinzhou? How can anyone farm not far from the enemy?"

I have to say that there are many officials in the court who must have collected kickbacks.

Amid Man Gui's opposition, many people really stood up and agreed to the content of the memorial. Obviously, even if the content is not marked with the name, some officials can guess who wrote it.

And they looked at the emperor, but they didn't look angry, thinking that there was a chance?

So, one by one, they stood up and reversed the conversation with Mangui Station.

But I didn't know that Zhu Zilong deliberately wanted to watch the show, and what he wanted was to see which officials were biased towards Yuan Chonghuan.

Just as the officials were quarreling, Zhu Zilong called out a snare, and the officials immediately calmed down and looked at the emperor.

Next minute.

Zhu Zilong suddenly said something amazing: "But many beloved ministers think that they can give him a try. I agree that the person who proposed this strategy will be fully responsible for the construction of the fortress outside the pass."

Try it? How can you be so rash in military and national affairs? Man Gui's eyes immediately rounded!

In the unresolved eyes of Man Gui and others, Zhu Zilong spoke again: "I remember that in the history of our dynasty, there were also people who built city walls and city defense fortifications. Did the empress dowager ask the court for one tael of silver? When Mao Wenlong opened the town of Dongjiang, he did he ask the court for one tael of silver and a piece of grain? Shandong Province, which is the Longhou of the Four Seas, is now even lost, and he has to pay double taxes."

"There is a front line. I think Ning Qiandao only has this confidence and controls Ningyuan, Qiantun and Jinzhou, and even grants him the governor of Liaodong. Now he has begun to entrust him with full authority on land, military and civilians outside the pass, and let him organize the military and civilians from the three places to obtain materials on the spot and raise silver on the spot. While compressing the farming space of Jiannu, building the Ningjin defense line to resist the attack of Jiannu. However, the court is not responsible for the materials required in general!"

Zhu Zilong's emperor clone said this very rogue.

The subtext is that since Yuan Chonghuan dared to propose a strategy of pacifying Liao for five years, even if he didn't give him a tael of silver, he must have been able to get it right, right?

Even standing on the ground of righteousness to suggest that what Yuan Chonghuan lacks may be just a status!

For a moment, the officials below also made the emperor's rogue look at each other and talk. Man Gui was also stunned!

It seemed that the officials were speechless and confused.

Zhu Zilong spoke again: "My dear friends, you probably want to say that the project to build the Ningjin defense line is huge, not the amount of the project to repair Jinzhou and Jiancheng Lushunkou is comparable? The court does not pay a penny and only gives an official position. Will it be too much?"

"Otherwise, my dear friends have thought about it. Even if the treasury allocates money to build the Ningjin defense line, can the city construction materials and materials be transported to Liaodong in a short time? Let's take a step back, even if the materials and materials can be delivered to Liaodong at once, all the military and civilians in Liaodong will probably not have so many manpowers. Such a huge project will be built in a short period of time!"

"So, in the final analysis, should we build one city after another? to raise materials for each city? So I think that we can try to raise money and grain by ourselves, build one or two cities first, and test the effect. If it is indeed effective, it will not be too late to discuss it."

"Cultivation of one city at a time?" The officials were now alive, and some people thought that it seemed that it was not impossible. In the conditions of the previous line, they could still cultivate several cities independently under gritting their teeth.

As long as it works, the emperor will naturally agree to give money to the city behind.

The next second Wen Tiren stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what city should I build first?"

Zhu Zilong's emperor clone, without thinking, blurted out: "Of course it's Jinzhou!"

"In the last battle of this dynasty, the Jinzhou city wall was not fully completed. It was against the city wall that had not been completed, and it blocked the entire Jiannu army for more than a month. It was the Jinzhou!"

At this moment, Man Gui suddenly knelt down again.

He said to Emperor Zhu Zilong with an expression that he couldn't bear to say: "Emperor, the guy in the memorial proposed to repair the Ningjin defense line, which was completely joking about the Liaodong army and the people's heads! You support him to repair the Jinzhou city wall first. What if Jiannu can't defend it? Tens of thousands of people will suffer a disaster of destruction! War is not a joke!"

As soon as these words were said, the officials looked at Mangui's eyes as if they were looking at a super-large funny guy.

Speaking to the emperor, he also implies that the emperor is having sex. I really don’t know how to write the word “death”, Comrade Man!
