Yunxi was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaodong's attitude. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's not that Yun Xi doesn't like casual people, but although Yun Xi has seen him before, Yun Xi was still the emperor's grandson at that time, and now Yun Xi is already the emperor, so Zhang Xiaodong is officially meeting the new leader for the first time, of course, it is different from Yun Xi when he was the emperor's grandson.

If the first formal meeting with the new leader is not respectful enough, then Yun Xi will not dare to use it, and he doesn't care very much on his face, what can he think of Yun Xi in his heart?

Of course, Yun Xi looks at whether a person is respectful or not, not from bowing his head or something, no one will not even bow his head in front of Yun Xi, and he will not be polite, so Yun Xi can directly push this minister to the end, and no one can find fault.

Yoon-hee is a message through the side. For example, what kind of performance did he show when he walked all the way from Fengtianmen, what kind of performance did he show when he stood outside the Qianqing Palace, did he have any subconscious small movements in front of Yun Xi, and so on.

Before Zhang Xiaodong walked in, Yun Xi had already known this through Wang Xi. Wang Xi has been following Yunxi for many years, and he knows what to do without Yunxi's instructions.

So Yun Xi looked at it for a while and then said with a smile: "Zhang Aiqing sit down, why always stand." ”

Zhang Xiaodong humbled for a while before sitting down.

Then Yun Xi said: "Zhang Aiqing, today is the morning, I'm afraid I stayed at the post station outside the city last night, right?" "Yun Xi will gossip first.

Zhang Xiaodong replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister arrived at the post station outside the capital yesterday evening, and saw that he couldn't meet His Majesty when he entered the city, and the minister couldn't see anyone else before he met His Majesty, so he stayed at the post station for one night." ”

"Before the end of the day, the minister got up, and then waited for the city gate to be opened, and came in to meet your majesty."

Yun Xi subconsciously looked at the leak, it was almost noon now, which meant that it took Zhang Xiaodong almost three hours to come to the palace from the post station outside the city.

Zhang Xiaodong continued: "After that, the minister rode to Fengtianmen, let the soldiers take the horse to find a place to settle, and the minister entered the palace to meet Your Majesty." ”

Then it was Zhang Xiaodong who waited for a long time, walked for a long time, and then came to the Qianqing Palace to meet Yun Xi.

Speaking of the fact that it took Zhang Xiaodong to go from Chengtianmen to Qianqing Palace for a long time, Yun Xi remembered a little story about the Forbidden City and Gyeongbokgung Palace.

After the Second Opium War in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, foreign envoys were allowed to be stationed in Beijing, so the British naturally sent people to serve as ministers. Later, Korea was also forced to open up the country, allowing foreign envoys to stay in Seoul, and an Englishman who had served as minister in Beiping was transferred to Seoul to serve as a minister.

When this envoy was in Beiping, he once went to see Cixi, walked through door after door, walked through palace after palace, and then met Cixi, and then came out without saying a few words, but it also took a long time.

Later, when the envoy went to meet the last king of Joseon, Yi Xu, in Seoul, he only walked for a short time to see Li Xu, and then said a few words and walked for a short time before leaving Gyeongbokgung Palace.

The envoy later said: "If you want to conquer China, you have to take fifty years, or even a hundred years: but if you want to conquer Korea, five or ten years are enough!" ”

Later, after winning the Russo-Japanese War, Japan officially annexed Korea only five years later.

Actually, this little joke is nothing, but the reason why Yun Hee remembers it clearly is because he saw it on South Korea's own TV series. I forgot the name Yun Hee, the content is about the last king of North Korea, Li Xu, Yun Xi in the previous life watched this TV series because he liked history, and Yun Xi in the previous life of other Korean dramas didn't watch it at all.

Yun Xi remembered this story, and it was a little funny, although it was impossible to laugh out loud, but it was also smiling. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaodong didn't have much contact with Yun Xi before, and Yun Xi was also smiling just now, so he didn't feel anything. However, Wang Xi and other close eunuchs were a little strange.

This story can't be told to Zhang Xiaodong, so Yun Xi said a few other words to Zhang Xiaodong, and then asked, "Zhang Aiqing, do you know what I called you to the capital for?" ”

When Zhang Xiaodong heard this, he knew that the point was coming, and his already nervous spirit became even more nervous.

If you want to say what Yunxi asked him to come to Beijing for, he still knows a little. He is a commander, although the Ming Dynasty has more than 300 actual commanders, so the commander does not seem to be a big official, but he is also an important minister in the local area.

He is also a relatively old military general, and he used to be a commander in the past, but later he was demoted to a commander because he was implicated, and he also has his own connections in the capital.

When he stayed at the post station the night before, he knew the general thing from his connections in Beijing, but he didn't know in detail. He doesn't have any connections on the civilian side, the connections in the military generals are not up to the honors, and the students who speak martial arts are not familiar with it, so he just listens to the third-hand news, and he doesn't really know it.

Zhang Xiaodong thought about it for a while, and felt that Yun Xi had Jinyiwei in his hand, and it was impossible that he didn't know anything in the capital, but he came from the early years of Hongwu, and he still remembered Jinyiwei's awesomeness.

So in the end, he thought it would be better to say half-truths, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard some rumors, which seemed to be related to the previous messenger of the Three Buddhas who came to ask for help. ”

Yun Xi was really confused by Zhang Xiaodong and said, "It is indeed related to this." I have decided to send an envoy to Majapahit to call him off; If the Majapahit is unwilling to stop the army, then I will send troops to proclaim the prestige of our Ming Dynasty and pacify the disputes of the vassal states. ”

"Although I want to pacify the dispute between the vassal states, after all, the Majapahit is also a formal vassal state, so a little punishment is enough, and the Lu division just goes to the Srivijaya to expel the army of the Majapahit, and it is mainly the sailor who takes the lead."

In fact, after Yun Xi heard that Majapahit had defeated the Mengyuan army in the Kublai Khan era, he was afraid that the army of the Ming Dynasty would not go well, so he did not send a land division to fight in Majapahit itself. As the first battle of Yunxi's overseas intervention war, it must be won in order to silence the civilian officials who oppose sending troops overseas.

"I remembered that the imperial grandfather said that Zhang Aiqing was a good hand in water warfare, so I decided to take Zhang Aiqing as the president of the water division and add a deputy general."

Zhang Xiaodong immediately stood up and bowed down and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

Zhang Xiaodong thanked him a few more words, and then asked cautiously: "May I ask Your Majesty, which general is the commander?" As soon as he heard that he was a deputy general, he knew that he still had a commander above him, otherwise he should have added a general army, or given a general's title.

Yun Xi said: "I consider that Zhang Aiqing, you have been fighting on the water for most of your life and have never commanded land battles, so I appointed Dongguan Bo He Rong as the chief soldier. He Rong also fought in water battles, and he was also a general, so he was sent to command. ”

Zhang Xiaodong responded, feeling relieved. He was afraid that the president above was a layman, so the battle would not be easy to fight. Although the sailor is not as good as the land division, Zhang Xiaodong has been at sea all these years, and knows that even in a country like Fusang, which is already very large among the feudal states, the total size of the sailor division is not comparable to one-tenth of that of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the Majapahit who has not heard much of before.

So it's not easy to lose, unless it's plotted by others. But he also knew that the officials above and below the Ming Dynasty, in addition to being very jealous of the Mongolian ministries and Fusang, the other vassal states felt that as long as the Ming Dynasty's heavenly soldiers arrived, they should be broken with one blow. If the war is not going well because of the commander-in-chief's blind command, then he will definitely be impeached.

And he didn't know much about what Yun Xi would think, so he was relieved to hear that the commander was an expert in water warfare. As for how the land war is, it has nothing to do with him.

Then Zhang Xiaodong noticed that Yun Xi attached great importance to this matter. Zhang Xiaodong listened to Yunxi's meaning, but he was just planning to send one or two sailors to guard the guards, and the Lu division was just three or four guards, so he even sent a lord as the commander, and he was a commander during the Zhu Yuanzhang period.

Yun Xi didn't know what Zhang Xiaodong was thinking, and then told him about the guiding ideology of the Nanyang War.

Yun Xi said: "If the Manjapahit is determined to carry the heavenly soldiers, then there is no need to keep your hands, you must completely annihilate all the sailors of the Manjapahit Bayi, so that the Manjapahit and the Nanyang vassal state know that the heavenly power of my Ming Dynasty cannot be ignored." ”

"The officers and soldiers of the Naval Division of the Majapahit Country who fell into the water, in order to show that my Ming Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness, of course they have to be rescued. But they are enemies of my Ming Dynasty, and they must be punished. He sent all the officers and soldiers of the Majapahit Naval Division to Guangxi and sentenced them to exile. "Yun Xi, who cherishes human resources very much, how can he tolerate the waste of manpower.

"Also, although we don't go to fight in the territory of Majapahit, the soldiers of Majapahit in the territory of Srivijaya will also be destroyed. If any of these soldiers were captured, they were also punished with exile and exiled to Guangxi. ”

Yun Xi also planned to contact Zhu Zanyi to organize these exiled officers and soldiers of the Manjapahit Army into an army, and use them as cannon fodder to open the way in future battles. Otherwise, if a bunch of Ming soldiers died, Yun Xi would be very distressed.

Yun Xi asked some more things, Zhang Xiaodong nodded and took out a small notebook to write down, with a very decent attitude. Yun Xi also knew that Zhang Xiaodong was literate, so he was not surprised.

Yun Xi considered that Zhang Xiaodong was already one of the oldest and most experienced people in the Daming Water Division, and saw that although he was over sixty years old, his body was still strong, and it was estimated that he could still use it, so he decided to take a look. So he asked, "I remember that you have three sons, what is the name of the eldest son, and what is his current position?" ”

Zhang Xiaodong said: "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the minister is named Zhang Guoyong, and now he is in Suzhou Wei for a thousand households. ”

Yun Xi was a little puzzled: "I remember that there is no sailor in Suzhou Wei, why is it in Suzhou Wei?" ”

Zhang Xiaodong said: "Your Majesty, the minister's eldest son fainted on the ship, and the minister had no choice but to send him to Suzhou Wei to join the Lu Division. Even if he is as respectful as Zhang Xiaodong, he feels embarrassed when he talks about it.

Yun Xi smiled: "So that's the case. How many years has he been a thousand households? ”

Zhang Xiaodong said: "Your Majesty, it's been three years. Chen's eldest son also participated in the battle of Yuerhai with the army that year, and was promoted to a trial hundred households because of his merits. ”

Yun Xi said: "Then he is still a person who has gone through the war. Since I have been a thousand households for three years, I will give me a grace and be promoted to command. ”

Zhang Xiaodong immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”
