Zhu Di threw bricks and led the way, and others should naturally express their positions.

To put it bluntly, taking Siam is not a matter of interests for the imperial court.

For the Celestial Empire, the face is bigger than the sky, of course, this is not alarmist, people live with a face.

This kind of policy has been laughing at future generations, but they don't know that the so-called face is actually a deterrent, when the Ming can show its wealth and strength, other small countries naturally do not dare to provoke, these 'little neighbors' The biggest feature of the little partner is that he is poor, a person is poor, it is inevitable that he will be easy to take risks, he is really going to be poor and crazy, he can't do anything, he is not afraid to wear shoes barefoot, if he is looking for provocation at the border, what can you do, if it is a levy army to fight, he can't shrink, relying on the mountains and mountains, slowly consume you, and once your army retreats, he immediately attacked, plundered your state and county, taught you not to take care of each other, so that you are anxious.

But once you sue him, if you provoke me, then you will definitely die, uncle, I am not bad for money, nor bad soldiers, these people are naturally honest, it is not your fault that you are poor, but if you pick quarrels and provoke trouble, it is a big mistake.

Originally, this time, the imperial court had made plans to increase the endowment and allocate the army, but now it is good, every qiē has been saved, and Hao Fenglou is really a great contribution, and no one can pick out a thorn.

The first to speak was Jin Zhong, Jin Zhong said with a smile: "Hao Fenglou broke the enemy this time, and Weichen read the battle report, which is really an eye-opener, and it is really unexpected to destroy a country with 5,000 soldiers." Such feats are also unprecedented, and they are the kings of Qianning. I'm afraid it can't be compared. ”

The king of Qianning is Mu Ying, when Mu Ying and Lan Yu were ordered to lead troops into Yunnan, defeated the Yuan army, and made brilliant achievements, so they guarded Yunnan and became the pillar of Daming.

Zhu Di listened and nodded slightly. He boasted that he wanted to start a career like Taizu, and the greatest achievement of Taizu was not to create a foundation. Because of the good generals like Mu Ying, who guards the Quartet, and now he has a Hao Fenglou, which is not far behind.

Xie Jin smiled slightly: "This battle has solved a big problem for the imperial court. It's a great achievement. However, now that the overall situation has been decided, Weichen thinks that His Majesty should take precautions. ”

Taking precautions is actually to do a good job in the aftermath, the soldiers of the three armies, do you want to be rewarded? And the Siamese problem, do you want to solve it?

Zhu Di's excitement gradually passed, but he was also determined. With a slight smile, he looked left and right: "Prince, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Zhu Gaochi heard Xie Jin say that he wanted to deal with the aftermath. He knew Xie Jin's thoughts, he smiled slightly: "Father, this Siam has been taken, and I heard that the Siamese officials, they are willing to support Hao Fenglou as the king, and in the humble opinion of the sons, this is not inappropriate, the Hao family is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Ming Dynasty in the West, has my father forgotten the rebellion of Jiaozhi back then?" ”

The so-called Jiaozhi Rebellion, in fact, was that after the Ming army occupied Annan, there were rebellions in various parts of Annan, which once made the Ming army in Annan anxious, and then the imperial court ordered Haojia Town to Jiaozhi, which quelled the rebellion and made Jiaozhi truly become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi means that the Hao family has a great reputation in the West, and if you want to settle Siam, you must have the Hao family to sit in charge, otherwise the Jiaozhi Rebellion is very likely to be repeated.

Think about it, what kind of oil and water can be squeezed out of such a barren land? However, the imperial court still has to garrison a large number of troops, once the garrison, it needs money and grain, the system of the Ming Dynasty, the allocation of money and grain often has to go through the treasury, that is to say, Guangxi, Jiaozhi levy grain, want to send directly to Siam, that is a fantasy, must be sent to Jinling first, after the household department is accounted for, and then transferred to Siam, this comes and goes, but it is thousands of miles away, so much grain, how many people are needed to transport? Minzhuang is requisitioned, which means that it is impossible for them to farm for months or even a year, and the lack of manpower in the fields means that next year's grain production will be reduced.

In places like Siam, the loss is even more amazing, often 10,000 stone of grain, there are 5,000 stone lost, like Siam, I am afraid that 2,000 stone can be left, even if the ancestors accumulate virtue.

In fact, the system of the Ming Dynasty is by no means suitable for expanding the territory, and the centralized system, on the surface, seems to have strengthened the control of the border towns, and at the same time solved the problem of the feudal towns in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but because of this, because of the strong trunks and weak branches, as well as this perverted food supply system, the area of the territory has been unable to continue to expand.

This was not the case in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the system of the Sui and Tang dynasties, on the surface, did add hidden dangers to the dynasty, because the festival envoys were almost equivalent to the local emperors, they collected their own grain, raised their own soldiers, and did not have too much loss on the way, not to mention that the grain was sent to the Beijing division with great difficulty, and then the grain was transferred back from the Beijing division, subtracting such unnecessary losses. It is nothing more than the appointment of a festival envoy.

The productive forces are placed here, and the system of the Ming Dynasty has reached its limit, and it is almost impossible to control Siam as much as it does in Yunnan.

Therefore, Zhu Di understands what is going on, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi also understands that everyone here except for the 'bastard' King Zhao is a human spirit, and who doesn't know what's wrong here.

Siam can set up counties, and it is not a problem to collect them, but it is absolutely impossible, the central government is directly under the central government, and the only way is to let him be self-sufficient.

But if you want to be self-sufficient, what is the difference between it and the feudal town, and in front of the Ming monarchs, there is another question, who will control Siam.

Siam, the answer has been given, and the hundreds of officials headed by Wutai have asked Hao Fenglou to preside over the overall situation.

And among the Ming monarchs and ministers, such as the crown prince and Xie Jin, they all seem to be interested in asking Hao Fenglou to maintain the situation in Siam.

This is obviously premeditated, their plan is very simple, the number is sealed and pushed out, on the one hand, this guy has a high merit, and now there is no reward anyway, the more he is unanimously recommended, it may not be possible to arouse the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven is already suspicious, once he is afraid of Hao Fenglou, this Hao Fenglou will be over.

On the other hand, if Hao Fenglou is really the king of Siam, it will be even more interesting, since you are the king of Siam, the commander of the Jinyi guard must be replaced, and it is impossible to continue to stay in Beijing.

This is what Zhu Gaochi, Xie Jin and even Jin Zhong and others think, a Siam is insignificant to them, if Hao Fenglou can be trapped with a Siam, this deal is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.

As long as Hao Fenglou is not in Beijing, then the status of the prince is solid, a king of Zhao, it is absolutely impossible to shake, as for the future, you can wait until His Royal Highness the prince ascends the throne.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Zhu Di is obviously hesitating, on the one hand, he is quite dependent on Hao Fenglou, and on the other hand, he also knows that whether it is the prince or Xie Jin, what he said is not wrong, Hao Fenglou set Siam, but this Siam is a hot potato after all, if you want to have long-term peace and stability, you have to let Hao Fenglou stay in Siam.

He hesitated for a moment, but he didn't know what to do.

However, Zhou Lifan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, also saw a clue, knowing the wishful thinking of the prince and Xie Jin, Zhou Lifan is Hao Fenglou's sworn friend, and he understands more that the core of this Zhao Wang Party is Hao Fenglou, without him, let alone say that they are based in Beijing, and their wings are afraid that they will be cut off by others long ago.

For his own sake, Zhou Lifan must also fight on the basis of reason, but he is a criminal department scholar, how to win the prince, simply said: "Your Majesty, why don't you summon Hao Fenglou to meet him quickly, he is a minister of great merit after all, he will inevitably enter Beijing, and reward him for meritorious deeds, as for how to seal the reward, as well as Siam's follow-up matters, you can think about it in the long run, and if you want to come to Siam, there is no hidden danger for the time being." ”

Zhou Lifan's purpose is to hold on until Hao Fenglou enters Beijing no matter what, and as for the rest, wait for Hao Fenglou to arrive in Beijing.

Zhu Di nodded his head and said: "That's it, what Zhu Qing said makes sense, Hao Fenglou has made great contributions to the court, I will personally summon him, reward him heavily, pass on the decree, and immediately summon Hao Fenglou into Beijing, prince, when Hao Fenglou enters Beijing, you go to greet him." ”

With such a meritorious hero, he naturally can't be taken lightly, just letting the prince go to meet Hao Fenglou is obviously a bit excessive.

But Zhu Gaochi did not look half unwilling, but said with a smile: "The son obeys the order." ”

Zhu Di stood up and laughed: "Anyway, Hao Fenglou has a big event in my heart, it can be seen that there is nothing difficult in this world, I am afraid of people with hearts, this Hao Fenglou is a person with a heart, it is because of his courage and loyalty, this serves the court, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats. Okay, I'm tired, so let's retire. ”
