From the beginning to the end, no one was talking. The Ming Dynasty was not the Song Dynasty. Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, even if you shouted cowardice, you would not be welcomed. Zhu Houzhao also agreed with this. So what if you are cowarded? I should destroy you or destroy you.

The Empress Dowager Cixi "measured China's material resources and gained the favor of the country". What was the result? She might as well just have some backbone.

A country or a nation must have the character and integrity to "rather die standing than live on your knees."

Of course, there are definitely some people who do not exist. Whether it is in this era or in future generations, Zhu Houzhao's approach to such people is very simple. Ignore them. If they have to jump out to show their presence, then eliminate them directly.

Eliminated in a double sense.

After the morning court, Zhu Youtang once again took his son back to his palace, and Zhu Houzhao followed him. Obviously, his father had something to say to him.

After returning to the back, the father and son sat down, and the warm tea was brought up. After Zhu Youtang took a sip, he raised his head and looked at his son, and then said: "This time you are going to the northwest, and the food, grass and baggage will be sent to my father."

I will prepare it for you later. The imperial court has accumulated some money and food in the past few years, which should be enough for this battle."

Zhu Houzhao looked at his father in surprise. He did not expect that his father came to him to talk about this.

Seeing his son looking at him with a strange look, Zhu Youtang immediately became angry. He put the tea cup on the table angrily, and then said to his son: "What are you looking at? I knew this when you were training soldiers three years ago.

It’s been a day. Do you think I don’t want to fight? I’m just afraid that those people won’t win. What has the Ming army been like since Tumubao?”

"Although my father is very worried about you fighting in the northwest, and I know he will be worried if you are asked to go this time, but now that the country has more than enough money and the Black Dragon Army is strong, I feel guilty if I don't fight at this time."

"I also want to avenge Tumu Fort!"

Although Zhu Youtang said these words very lightly, Zhu Houzhao could hear the complexity in his father's heart. Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Houzhao said directly: "Father, don't worry, when I go to the northwest, I will definitely clean up the grassland. I guarantee that

The northwest will be stable for ten years, and within ten years, no one in the northwest will dare to invade the territory of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Houzhao said this so loudly that Zhu Youtang naturally understood the meaning of his son's words, but he still said: "Don't let yourself fall into a dangerous situation."

Nodding slightly, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, I will not fight this time."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has left. The courtiers who received the news were a little hesitant, so they left now? Why did they leave so fast? Our memorial has just been written! Besides, with the 50,000-strong army traveling and the auxiliary troops and equipment, this

There are already 80,000 people. Are the provisions and grass ready so quickly? It is not good to send troops so hastily!

Compared with the ministers outside who don't know what's going on, the important ministers in the court know better, such as the three bachelors in the cabinet.

Whether it is Liu Jian, the first auxiliary scholar of the cabinet, Xie Qian, the second auxiliary scholar of the cabinet, or Li Dongyang, the cabinet scholar, all three of them know that this battle is not unprepared at all, but has been prepared for three days in a down-to-earth manner.

Year. Since the prince's military training three years ago, His Majesty has begun to prepare for His Royal Highness, although these courtiers are not very clear about it.

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't know, but the three cabinet bachelors know very well, such as the granary along the way.

From the capital to the northwest, many changping granaries were built in the cities along the road. Everyone knows the role of changping granaries. They were granaries set up by the imperial court to adjust grain prices and store grain to prepare for shortages and supply official needs and people's food. Mainly:

Use the law of value to adjust food supply and give full play to the role of stabilizing the market value of food.

When the market price of grain is low, increase the price of grain appropriately and purchase large quantities. Not only will the warehouses for storing grain in the court be full of grain, but also the warehouses in the border counties will be full. When the market price of grain is high, the price should be appropriately lowered for sale.

This measure not only avoids "low prices hurting farmers", but also prevents "high prices hurting people".

Chang Ping Cang has been done by all dynasties, and the imperial court is no exception. In the past few years, the court had no money, let alone building a new Chang Ping Cang, and could not even maintain the original Chang Ping Cang.

But three years ago, when the imperial court began to get rich, His Majesty focused on the Changping Granary and built many new Changping Granaries, 70% of which were located from the capital to the northwest. These granaries are now full.

.There is a large amount of grain and fodder stored in it. Outsiders don't know it, but the three of them know it clearly.

It seems that you are military rations. Why are you hoarding military rations from the capital to the northwest, not just to fight in the northwest, but also for a war?

Thinking of His Highness the Crown Prince's great victory in the northwest and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's continuous military training, the answer is naturally obvious.

The three of them knew what was going on, but they couldn't object or speak out. They objected first and His Majesty supported it. His Royal Highness won the northwest victory and invested so much money and energy. His Majesty even asked His Majesty to

Can you object to the command of the capital camp? It will be useless except to disgust His Majesty.

Not only your Majesty, but also the prince. Unless you don’t want to be this official anymore, you are saying that the emperor is diligent and thrifty, and the prince is respectful and observant.

Northwest defeated five thousand against ten thousand, and it is difficult not to win this time. If he can really reproduce Taizong's old views, then he will be a famous minister of ZTE. A lot of this confidence also comes from His Highness the Crown Prince. First of all, the Crown Prince

His Highness is a humble and respectful person, and he is very knowledgeable in martial arts. Not to mention his own bow, horse, riding and shooting, his military training is also beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In addition, naturally there is a battle in the northwest. His Highness the Crown Prince's five thousand against ten thousand, almost annihilating the fire sieve. Under such circumstances, I will naturally have more confidence in His Highness the Crown Prince.

Zhu Houzhao is not worried about the affairs in the court. First of all, his father is not an incompetent emperor. Secondly, there are three cabinet bachelors promoted by his father. They are not even capable. In addition, the oldest father is loyal.

Being in command naturally means he has no worries. This time, Zhu Houzhao focused all his attention on the battle in the northwest. Not only did he want to fight, but he also wanted to win beautifully.

Only after leaving the capital did Zhu Houzhao realize how many things his father had prepared for him. The filled granaries in various places and the prepared grain and grass could be used at any time.

The army ate all the way, and after the battle, they ate all the way back, and the rest could be transported to the front line. This food and grass was enough for Zhu Houzhao to fight in the northwest until winter, which meant that he could fight for a whole year. Looking at the soldiers carrying the food and grass, Zhu Houzhao
