After entering the imperial study, Wu Nian waved his hand to the ministers, indicating that they did not need to salute. Then he asked the eunuchs to go down and closed the door.

He came to the throne and sat down, raised his head and said, "You all know the matter. I intend to conquer Fusang personally."

The ministers were so shocked when they heard this that their hair almost stood on end.

Liu Zhixing took a step forward, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Your Majesty, I object."

"Why?" Wu Nian asked calmly.

Liu Zhixing was speechless for a moment. He was too anxious to think of a countermeasure. He was opposed to it anyway. But he had a good brain, and after thinking for a while, he came up with a countermeasure and said, "Report to the king."

"First, after years of war, the number of Han people in Liaodong has been reduced sharply, especially the young people among the people. Now our army has not recovered its strength, but it is about to go to Fusang. I am afraid that all the Han people in Liaodong will be wiped out."

"Second, the Meng Yuan people are gradually recovering their strength and are watching closely. If they learn that the king has led troops to Fusang, I am afraid that the Mongolian Yuan army will come back."

"King Haida of Keton is not a sheep but a wolf."

"Third, fighting across the sea is very dangerous. Your Majesty, don't forget. Since the founding of the country, Fuso has never been attacked by a foreign enemy. It has never been conquered."

"Based on the above three points, I believe that the king should not lead the expedition in person."

After Liu Zhixing finished speaking, Wang Youxiao, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, immediately stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Liu's point of view."

After saying that, he continued: "Of course. If the king is so happy about his achievements, and does not subsidize the difficulties of the soldiers and the people, but sends troops by force, then I will treat him as a minister and say nothing."

All the ministers looked at him sideways, these words were very serious. They almost pointed at Wu Nian's nose and scolded him for being such a foolish king who is overjoyed at his achievements.

But they are used to it. Wang Youxiao is an upright person who dares to speak out.

Wu Nian did not get angry, but calmly watched the ministers speak one by one. Except for Gongsun Sang, the others were all opposed to sending troops.

Seconded by Liu Zhixing.

But this is normal. What Liu Zhixing said makes sense. But Wu Nian also had Wu Nian's considerations. After everyone finished speaking, Wu Nian said to Liu Zhixing: "Master Liu is right. But I also have something to say."

"The first is profit."

"Fuso has silver. I don't need to explain how much money I made from the business of exchanging silver for copper ingots. In addition, Fuso is also a large land and rich in resources. If we can merge with Fuso, the benefits will be endless."

"Second, Fusang has never been conquered, and the country has never been subjugated. But I am very confident, attack Fusang, and take Fusang as my minister."

"Third, in this battle, we will not use Liaodong as our main force. We will use Youyan people as our main force."

Having said this, Wu Nian had a slight smile on his face and said: "How could I not know that the Han people in Liaodong have already suffered huge losses? How could I not know that King Haida of Keton is watching with eager eyes?"

"In the five prefectures of Liaodong, I have ten troops dedicated to guarding ten thousand households. In addition, there are more than a dozen field troops of ten thousand households. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are crowded together. Even if the Slavs, Mongolians, and Chu people unite

If you attack the weak, you won't gain any advantage."

"This time I only brought some of the imperial guards. Youyan's four generals, Lu Liuliang, Zhuge Xun, Zhang Cai, and Li Liangchen, who were born in Goguryeo, crossed the sea to attack Fusang."

"But we won't make any announcement to the outside world. Anyway, I spend my days in the palace and never hunt or play. Just treat me as if I'm still in the palace and run the court as usual."

"No clues will be revealed. The Mongols, Slavs, and Chu people will not dare to attack."

"This!!!!" The ministers looked at each other in shock. They did not expect that Liu Zhixing's three reasons for "not conquering Fusang" were eliminated by Wu Nian in the blink of an eye.

Liu Zhixing reacted quickly, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, although Your Majesty has your own reasons, I still object to sending troops."

"If you use Youyan soldiers and horses, plus some imperial guards, there will be only 50,000 households of soldiers and horses. Adding the navy, it will only be 110,000 households."

"General Toyotomi's position has been firmly established, and the war has just been settled. His subordinates are all generals who are good at conquering and fighting."

"And we're not familiar with the local terrain."

"We are fighting across the sea again, so supply is difficult."

"If you are not careful, you will be in danger."

"Your Majesty, you should not go to a dangerous place just for a small profit with a body of ten thousand gold and a king of ten thousand chariots."

As Liu Zhixing finished speaking, all the ministers except Gongsun Sang opposed sending troops. Zhang Haiping, regardless of his dignity, knelt down and expressed his determination.

I am opposed to sending troops.

"Hey." Wu Nian sighed, of course he knew the danger involved. Going deep alone, not familiar with the terrain, it would be difficult to move food and grass.

All the taboos of military strategists have been taken over.

but.

I won’t go. Who will?

Wu Nian stood up and said: "You have forgotten one thing. There was a drought in Liaodong back then. If it weren't for Kyogoku Xueli's strong support, I wouldn't be where we are today."

"It is only natural for a man to care about his old kindness."

"I have said that I will help the Ryukyu people regain their country. It is time to fulfill my promise."

"Therefore, the Kyogoku family is very familiar with Fuso and has connections in Fuso. This time, I don't think it's just a blind expedition. I have a little foundation."

"Finally. Now the Meng Yuan people are injured and licking their wounds."

"The Chu people dare not go out of Shanhaiguan to attack us."

"Wouldn't it be a pity if we don't take this opportunity to wipe out Fusang and strengthen ourselves?"

At this point, Wu Nian's eyes showed a sharp look, and his voice was decisive: "Okay. I have said everything I need to say."

"I'm not here to ask for your opinion."

"Secret preparations for the expedition. I want to be the first to attack Fusang, and also the last."

Speaking of which, although the ministers objected, Wu Nian's aura was too strong and he was victorious in every battle.

Some of them dare not say anything anymore, while others are extremely confident in Wu Nian's ability.

And if we can really break through Fuso.

So where are the copper ingots in exchange for silver? Just take the Fuso silver mine and gold mine as your own, and then mobilize Fuso's manpower and materials.

The power of the Han Dynasty can be greatly enhanced.

With the liberation of Liaodong, the Tartars were expelled.

With the fall of Goguryeo.

As the Slavs entered the war.

The remaining opponents are getting stronger and stronger. The Han Dynasty itself was relatively weak and weak.

All in all, if it succeeds, it will be very beneficial.

"Yes." Liu Zhixing and others thought of this, gritted their teeth, braced themselves, and bowed in salute.

"Very good." A look of satisfaction appeared on Wu Nian's face. He sat back on the throne and discussed the details of the expedition with the ministers.

Attack Fusang.

It has been put on the agenda and no one can stop it.
Chapter completed!
