Chapter 132: Nanyang Strategy

Liu Daxia listened to the prince's arrangement for the crown, and there was a slight jealousy in his heart.

If Yu Mian has a good relationship with his grandson. It can ensure the wealth of three generations of the family.

It's just that soon, Liu Daxia took back this thought. After all, this is all in the future, and if he can ensure that after the crown prince ascends the throne, there will be no problem at all for a first assistant.

The benefits of the world cannot be earned.

Liu Daxia continued: "If there is any more, you must have strength, Your Highness's pure filial piety is naturally flawless, but once the world changes, Your Highness must also have the power to set things right." ”

"This kind of power, one is called soldiers, and the other is wealth."

"The province of Jiaozhi, together with the 130,000 troops of the Thanh Hoa Domain, is owned by the prince, but it is different from the 600,000 in Jingying."

"If you expand the army without authorization, it will attract the attention of the government and the opposition."

"The only way is to conquer the south."

"In this way, leading the world's soldiers into the hands of the prince, even His Majesty cannot change the prince."

Zhang Mao said lightly: "Lord Liu, this matter is not mentioned. Your Majesty has won the heart of the army, and it is absolutely impossible to resist Your Majesty with the strength of the army, and now the 130,000 army of Jiaozhi is really the prince's army? It is still a soldier of the imperial court, and it still has to be made clear. ”

He turned his head to the crown prince and said, "Your Highness, although Your Majesty has ordered Your Highness to go out, His Highness's dictatorship is something that no foreign minister has. This is exactly what His Majesty values His Highness. ”

The prince immediately said: "Mr. Liu's words, there is no need to say it. ”

Liu Daxia immediately said: "The minister is speechless, but His Royal Highness wants to do things, but he is indispensable for money bags, but this Foshan Iron Works is a good money bag, and Xian Jing sent it to the door, can Your Highness be interested?" ”

The prince pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is a violation of law and discipline, if I do it, how can I explain it to Your Majesty?" ”

As soon as Zhang Mao heard it, he knew. The prince listened to Liu Daxia's words.

In other words, the prince has been away for a long time, and he is a little anxious and worried.

After all, in history, many times, the prince's long-term absence is a signal of abolition.

Although Zhu Qizhen has his own reasons. even said to the prince that it was to train the prince, but sometimes no one believed the truth, and more people were willing to believe the truth under the truth.

The prince has this kind of doubt in his heart all his life, and naturally he has all kinds of thoughts.

This is the opportunity for Liu Daxia's words.

Liu Daxia smiled slightly and said, "This point, can the British Duke answer it for His Royal Highness?" ”

Zhang Mao said: "What does Lord Liu mean? ”

Liu Daxia said: "Guogong, does Your Majesty have the heart to run Nanyang?" ”

Zhang Mao said: "That's nature. ”

This

The point is unquestionable.

His Majesty's thoughts about Nanyang were present when he first ascended the throne.

Liu Daxia said: "Since Your Majesty is interested in Nanyang, the reason why you don't move now is just because the internal affairs are complicated and there is no end. ”

"Soldiers should not be moved lightly, but other means may not be impossible, such as who to sell weapons and not to whom weapons, which is also very particular."

Although Zhang Mao heard it, Liu Daxia still had the opinion just now in his bones, controlling the army and consolidating himself. Even if the emperor wants to abolish the crown prince, he can't do it easily.

Zhang Mao didn't think it was of any use.

Because Liu Daxia, who was born in Wenchen, could not understand that there were still nobles in the Ming army who were loyal to the emperor, even if the prince controlled the army, he might not be able to lead these armies against his father.

After all, the Ming army was almost rebuilt by Zhu Qizhen after the Battle of Maoerzhuang.

In addition, Liu Daxia wanted to include the Foshan Iron Works in the prince's sphere of influence by the way.

I have to say that a lot of the time, it's very expensive. The prince has a lot of money, tens of thousands of stones a year, but if you really want to talk about it, this money is not enough at all.

Zhang Mao is not too opposed to the latter.

No one will be disgusted with a lot of money, and even if the emperor knows about this matter, he will not have any ideas, after all, it is not a big deal for the prince to have a bag or two of money.

Zhang Mao even remembered one thing, and he didn't object to it in his heart.

That is the problem of the Champa state.

When the Champa state fought against Annam, it made great efforts, although this force was not what they wanted, it had to be given, but no matter what, it was always rewarded for meritorious deeds.

As a result, Champa won the jackpot, and a lot of Annam's land was included in Champa. With the support of the Ming Dynasty, the city became strong again.

It's just that such a strong and prosperous city has also brought a lot of problems to the city.

Needless to say, internal problems are not to be mentioned.

There is a problem outside, that is, the king of Majapahit asked the king of Champa for help.

As mentioned earlier, Champa was a Hindu state, and Majapahit was also a Hindu state, although Manjapahit was soon not to be.

Because of the spread of Islam in Java, Muslims spread rapidly among the upper and lower classes and began to rebel against Majapahit.

The king of the Majapahit generation married with the Champa state, and the queen of Majapahit was the princess of the Champa state.

Before the city was beaten by Annan, it was miserable and miserable.

Majapahit also had no intention of asking for help, and now that the city is actually rising, the Majapahit naturally regards the city as a lifesaver.

It's just that there is still a discussion within the Champa State today.

On the one hand, it is that some people who understand the Champa country naturally know

How rotten is the army of the Champa state. The record of defeating Annan was completely played by the Ming army, and the occupation of the city was just a fight.

On the other hand, it is religious.

Many Hindus are outraged by the Muslim kingdom. It is necessary to let the Champa send troops to support Majapahit and intervene in the Javanese war.

Why does Zhang Mao care about this matter?

Because the British family has always paid attention to Nanyang, including the British Duke Zhang Fu and Zhang Zhong, who have the will of their father and brother, how can Zhang Mao not care.

And the result of the Java War is already obvious, that is, if there is no foreign aid from Majapahit, the Danmu Kingdom can occupy Java and destroy Majapahit.

This is not a good thing for Daming.

Who is the biggest opponent of the Old Port Propaganda Division, Nanyang Wei, and even Nanyang Han merchants? It is Muslim and Huihui businessmen, although they have not yet torn their faces, but there is never a small amount of private fighting.

Zhang Mao naturally wanted to get involved.

But Daming is not a Western country, just rob, to talk about righteousness, to talk about the fame of the teacher, many times this reputation is to be heard by people inside the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, the current national strength of the city will only need to send 10,000 or 20,000 troops, and it will be able to add one more province to the Ming Dynasty, but the 130,000 garrisons in Jiaozhi cannot be moved.

For the war between the Danmu Kingdom and the Majapahit, the Ming Dynasty intervened in the division.

Without him, Majapahit did not dare to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty. In the early years of orthodoxy, it was the Manjapahit who threatened the Ming Dynasty to rule in Nanyang, but the feng shui took turns, and now the Manjapahit is not good, they are even more worried, after the Ming Dynasty comes, they will not leave.

You must know that Majapahit was established by the Javanese nobles who defeated the Mongol army at the beginning, and from the genes, there is vigilance against mainland countries.

However, since they have asked for help from Champa.

Da Ming can then intervene in Zhancheng. You don't necessarily want anyone to win, and you can even say that the longer you fight, the better.

Direct troop dispatch is unlikely.

After all, this requires an order from the Privy Council in Beijing, and it is very inconvenient to buy and sell weapons, and if there is a need for the Shaofu's greeting, it is very inconvenient, and if the power to buy and sell Foshan weapons in Nanyang can be in your hands. Zhang Mao has a lot of autonomy in his activities.

Zhang Mao thought of this, and he didn't care what Liu Daxia thought. He said: "Your Highness, the current situation in Nanyang, the army going south, is a little inappropriate, but it is possible to copy what the imperial court did in Japan, and the minister thinks what Lord Liu said is feasible." ”

"The minister is willing to write to Your Majesty, please allow Your Majesty to do this."

The prince said, "Okay, that's it." ”

Zhang Mao paused slightly and said, "That Xian Pony? ”

The prince sneered and said: "This person has some talent, but he doesn't know how thick the sky is, so let him stay in the cell for a few more days, so that he can calm down." ”
