Although King Lu is just a selfish hairy boy, and his political level is indeed not very good, as the saying goes, "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts; A fool must have a thousand thoughts", he just said very right: Gao Pragmatic has been Zhu Yijun's companion for ten years, and Zhu Yijun's understanding of Gao Pragmatic is far better than others.

Zhu Yijun almost completely guessed Gao Pragmatic's intention to do this, he was indeed "killing multiple birds with one stone", and in general, he was almost comprehensive, no matter which side had to be grateful to him.

This is very pragmatic, because he has always been good at balancing the interests of all parties, and he can always get to the point in the chaos that others don't understand. It's just that...... Zhu Yijun is not Zhu Yihua, nor is he Empress Dowager Li or Li Wenjin, he needs to think more comprehensively and in the long term, so he still has some doubts about Gao Pragmatic's approach for the time being.

Zhu Yijun did not doubt Gao Pragmatism's motives, and also believed that Gao Pragmatism could ensure the future income of that small island, and King Lu would definitely not suffer a loss for the time being if he gave up King Jing's legacy and replaced it with that small island.

But Zhu Yijun believes that all this is based on the person of high pragmatism. Only when Gao Pragmatism is there, the income of this small island can be guaranteed, so what if Gao Pragmatism is gone? After all, he is not an immortal, and it is impossible for him to live forever!

Who can guarantee that the pragmatic son also has the ability of his father?

The establishment of the feudal king is to let this feudal domain enjoy wealth forever, and the meaning of giving land and property is also here. However, if we follow this approach of high pragmatism, then the nature of the industry in which the Luwang family will settle down in the future will change, from stable land income to unpredictable commercial income.

Again, Gao Pragmatic is here, and this exchange must be a good deal, because no one dares to doubt Gao Pragmatic's business vision. But once Gao Pragmatic is gone, can the Luwang family really rely on this kind of commercial income to enjoy wealth forever? No one dares to guarantee this, and neither does Zhu Yijun.

It should be said that Zhu Yijun is still very concerned about his own brother, as long as he does not threaten the throne, Zhu Yijun is still quite willing to plan more for him.

Besides, in case the Luwang family really becomes impoverished in the future because of this exchange, future generations are afraid that they will still blame him Zhu Yijun, the emperor's elder brother, for being short-sighted, which is of course unacceptable.

Zhu Yijun now not only wants to prosper the Ming Dynasty, but also wants to establish the unprecedented achievements of Taizu and Chengzu, completely conquer Mongolia, a two-hundred-year-old enemy, and forever put an end to the northern border troubles. Driven by this psychology, Zhu Yijun now attaches great importance to his own reputation, and of course he is not happy that his future "Holy Monarch" brilliance will be affected by the matter of King Lu's industry.

It's just that...... The trouble now is that Gao Pragmatic's idea must have more advantages than disadvantages, at least for the time being, and he is obviously well-intentioned, in order to help himself out of a dilemma, and he really can't refuse.

Zhu Yijun was in a dilemma, and the person sent by the Empress Dowager Cisheng had arrived. When Zhu Yijun heard that it was sent by the queen mother, he immediately knew that the queen mother must be for his younger brother's business, so he immediately announced that the eunuch came in.

This time, the eunuch sent by the Empress Dowager Li was not a well-known person, and he didn't say anything else, but honestly relayed what the Empress Dowager asked him to convey to the emperor, and then respectfully retired.

Zhu Yijun didn't react after listening to it, and was even a little dazed, or rather caught in thought.

"Am I thinking too far?" He asked himself in his heart.

The queen mother and brother apparently didn't think about what would happen many years later, they just cared about the benefits now, and the benefits of the present...... Anyway, there is pragmatism, so there must be no problem, so the queen mother decided so?

Zhu Yijun sighed, and for a while he could only smile bitterly, and said secretly: I hope it is my mediocre people who disturb themselves.

Shaking his head, Zhu Yijun called Chen Ju in and ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, you go to the military department to summon Pragmatic to come to the palace, and say that I want to see him and ask him...... Well, I said I would ask him about the Praetorian Guard. ”

Chen Ju knew that this was just an excuse, but the issue of the ownership of King Jing's legacy was very important, and it was natural for the emperor to refuse to announce it to the public immediately, so he hurriedly responded.

Early the next morning, Chen Ju personally took someone to the military department to announce the summoning, Gao Pragmatic saw that Chen Ju came in person, and immediately knew that most of the palace had reached a conclusion last night - King Lu could not hide it from him when he entered the palace, but he didn't know whether King Lu was talking to the Queen Mother alone, or simply went to find his royal brother. Of course, after King Lu and the Queen Mother said, it is possible for the Queen Mother to find the emperor again, which is not much different for Gao Pragmatic.

The place where the emperor announced the call was still in the Wenhua Palace, and the time was after the lecture, so Gao Pragmatic could leave a little later, and he first looked at the training plan submitted by Qi Jiguang in the military department.

This plan is made more cautiously, and it is actually one plan for two contingencies. According to this plan, the Praetorian Guard should be ready for combat as early as March or April next year, reaching a level where it can participate in war.

This time node is obviously relatively early, the reason is that the time when the Ming can launch a general attack on the Chahar Department will not be earlier than March next year at the earliest-it is already the end of the year, and it is definitely not suitable to use troops against Mongolia in winter, after all, the Mongols can leave even in winter, and the logistical pressure is not great.

On the other hand, the Ming army, because it was mainly an infantry army and equipped with a large number of firearms, the logistical pressure was far better than that of Mongolia, so if it was to go out of the fortress in winter, it would be not much different from suicide. Even taking a step back, even if the main force of the Ming army out of the fortress is mainly cavalry, it can't be compared with the Mongols in logistics - people have long been used to it, rounding is equivalent to no pressure, how can this thing be compared.

Therefore, the first contingency of Qi Jiguang's plan is to aim at this earliest time node, and strive to achieve the preliminary training goal in March and April next year, that is, the level of "worthy of a war".

However, Qi Jiguang also made it clear in this report that if it really participates in the war in March or April next year, then it is better for the Praetorian Guard not to rush forward as the vanguard and main force, but should consider its existence as a Chinese army, and only attack at a critical moment in the war or when a tailwind battle is fought. As for other times, it is still necessary to take stability as the first priority, and remember not to waste the war, otherwise the loss of troops will be small, and the loss of morale will be great.

Gao was very satisfied with this principle, because he knew that the characteristics of the army were that the more battles it won, the stronger it became, and that the morale of a "victorious army" was far beyond the reach of a "regularly defeated army." Even if there was a difference in their strength and equipment, the "victorious army" would certainly be able to completely defeat the "often defeated army."

This is also the same standard equipment for many troops in later generations, but those ace armies with a glorious history are more daring and capable of fighting than ordinary troops.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang's idea is that once the "early battle" is carried out, then this war will also be turned into a part of military training, and the victory will be used to make the troops make faster progress. In order to achieve this goal, prudence is necessary, and its requirements are equivalent to "only win, not lose" in some romances.

Another contingency of Qi Jiguang's training plan is the "evening battle." If the war cannot be started in March or April next year, no matter what the reason, the Praetorian Guard will not care about that, but will only improve the level of training one by one, and always maintain a state of following orders.

"Hearing the order, then marching" is Qi Jiguang's word, and in the words of later generations, it is probably "come when you are called, and you can fight when you come".

As for the detailed rules for training under Qi Jiguang, which were written by nearly 10,000 words, Gao Pragmatic did not read them carefully for the time being, and he still believed in Qi Jiguang's ability in this regard - anyway, he must be better than him as a half-ass, and he is very self-aware of this.

Don't look at the armed men under Gao Pragmatic's command, or the garrisons in various parts of southern Xinjiang, they are all at the level of a first-class strong army, but his Gao Pragmatic contribution here is actually not much, at best, he discussed some tactics with Qi Jiguang in the early years, and then asked Qi Jiguang to help formulate a training plan according to these tactical concepts.

In other words, he only provided some tactics that history has proven to be effective, and the corresponding targeted training plans are actually all handled by Qi Jiguang.

So he wrote a reply on behalf of the Ministry of War and agreed to Qi Jiguang's training plan. At the same time, he wrote a private letter, asking him to concentrate on training, and only need to consider the combat effectiveness of the Praetorian Guard, and not to think about the supply problem in wartime.

Of course, this is not untargeted, but Qi Jiguang must also be able to hear the strings and know the elegant meaning: Gao Pragmatic is hinting that if he really fights early, Jinghua also has the ability to help him "go to the bottom" in logistics - after all, the logistics level of the imperial court is not accurate, and when everyone works together, the performance is not bad, in case something happens in the court, then it is not good to say anything.

If it really comes to that time, in order to ensure victory, Gao Pragmatic will definitely have to let Jinghua give the Praetorian Guard a cover, and as for how to calculate the accounts at that time, it can only be said at that time.

After replying, Gao Pragmatic left for the palace.

The Wenhua Hall is the most familiar place in the palace, so there is no need to introduce more. At this time, the lecture had been completed, Zhu Yijun was resting, and when he heard the eunuchs shouting: "Rong Zheng's servant Gao is pragmatic to meet ——", he immediately announced that Gao was pragmatic and entered the palace.

The proper etiquette of monarchs and ministers has always been omitted in the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Yijun directly asked Gao Pragmatic to sit down in the position where he sat when he was a companion, and then said: "Pragmatic, I already know what happened yesterday in Luwangfu, but I still want to hear you talk about it." ”

There must be people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei in Luwang's mansion, there is no doubt about it, of course Gao Pragmatic knows that Zhu Yijun must know that he went to Luwang's mansion last night. In addition, King Lu, this kid, will not discuss any "secrets", and he will have a meeting openly afterwards, so even the specific conversation may be known to the emperor.

However, this matter itself is nothing to hide for Gao Shishi, he just doesn't want to spread it in the outside world before the matter is settled, but there is no need to keep it secret from Zhu Yijun, so he recounted yesterday's situation as it is.

Zhu Yijun nodded slightly after hearing this, and said, "Later, King Lu entered the palace to find his mother, do you know?" ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head and replied: "King Lu knows about entering the palace, but the situation after entering the palace is unknown. ”

Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with this answer, especially Gao Pragmatic did not hide that he had his own intelligence system in his hands, which showed that he was still loyal to him.

In fact, such a thing as an intelligence system is not unusual, and there is a high level of pragmatism, but is there no such thing as Shen Shixing? It's just that Gao Pragmatic is very rich, and he has a lot of people in Jinghua, so he can have a wider range and more detailed layout.

Shen Shixing's intelligence system, on the other hand, was mainly formed by officials and protégés of their Mind School, which was more limited. But in any case, there is not much difference in nature.

As long as they didn't put their hands directly into the palace, Zhu Yijun could turn a blind eye to these unspoken rules.

Of course, they all have their own "allies" in the palace, which is also an unspoken rule, Zhu Yijun is still too lazy to ask - this kind of thing has existed in all dynasties, of course Daming is not exempt from vulgarity, he is not interested in bothering in this regard, as long as he is not out of line, he will turn a blind eye like the emperors of previous dynasties.

"The Queen Mother and King Lu probably agree with your idea, but ......" Zhu Yijun frowned slightly, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said slowly: "You tell me the truth, how long can the future income of the island be guaranteed that there will be no big leaks?" ”

Gao pragmatic was stunned for a moment, and asked with some surprise: "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "Do business, I've also heard that even those salt merchants have business failures, you have to pay me the truth, King Lu collects rent on this small island, at least how many years can it be prosperous?" There shouldn't be any surprises in your lifetime, right? ”

Gao Pragmatic knew that Zhu Yijun was thinking about the problem so far now, but he also said that he was indeed a simple "emperor" and still didn't understand business things.

Li Ka-shing once said, "The factors that determine the value of real estate are the location, the location, and the location." ”

The reason why "that small island" was able to rise, some people in later generations thought that the key factor was the British, but in fact it was not.

Of course, the British are one of the factors, but the British have occupied such a large territory in history, and how many Hong Kong have come out of their hands?

The root of its rise lies in the "location", that is, the location advantage, and the reason why the British look at that place is also because of this.

The pragmatic plan amounted to the development of Hong Kong two hundred years ahead of schedule, using it as a trading base for the Spaniards, much like what the British had done in their original history. Of course, there are differences, but they are mainly sovereign, and the nature of trade has not changed much.

"So the emperor is worried about this?" Gao Shicheng laughed, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister will not harm King Lu, as long as the island is developed, even if the Lu Wangfu has a golden rice bowl, as long as the Lu family does not sell the land, it is almost impossible to have a broken day." ”

Without waiting for Zhu Yijun to ask again, he paused and continued: "Your Majesty, let's make an analogy: this is like giving the Changlu Salt Farm to Lu Fan permanently, you say, as long as Lu Fan doesn't have an accident, how can he be defeated?" ”

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

"The minister is convinced."

Zhu Yijun stared at his eyes for a while, finally gave up, and nodded: "Okay, then this matter will be done according to your wishes." But I came to you today, and I have another important matter. ”
