If the navy wants to continue to improve its status in Lao Zhu's heart, it must make achievements and reflect the importance of the navy.
Transporting grain from north to south is a very important matter.
The cost of sea transportation is much lower than that of water transportation. As long as the advantages of sea transportation can be reflected, the navy's status in Lao Zhu's heart will definitely rise to a higher level, reaching the same level as the Fifth Army Commander's Office.
"Your Majesty, these are millions of stones, grain and grass. Can we rely on the navy alone?" Wuding Marquis Guo Ying asked worriedly.
Lao Zhu has not answered Guo Ying yet.
Han Du didn't know why Guo Ying was so concerned about water transportation and took the initiative to speak for water transportation time and time again.
"But don't worry, Marquis Wu Ding. The Navy has enough experience in transporting millions of stones of grain from Nanyang to the capital every year. And with the current ships of the Navy, as long as they are well coordinated, it is impossible to transport two million stones of grain and grass to Peking at once."
No problem. According to our estimation, at most two times will be enough to transport all the grain and grass to Peiping."
Guo Ying wanted to say something more, but Lao Zhu waved his hand to stop him and said with finality: "That's it. The matter of transporting grain and grass will be left to Han Du."
"I will live up to my orders." Han Du was not polite and agreed immediately with a bow.
Lao Zhu didn't say much. After talking about the food and fodder, he turned to look at Feng Sheng, "The Fifth Army Commander's Office is responsible for the deployment of troops. Be careful to keep it secret." ??
Since Li Wenzhong's death, Feng Sheng has been in charge of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion for a temporary period only.
"I obey the decree."
Seeing that the discussion was over, Lao Zhu waved his hand and said, "You all should step aside."
Everyone was about to leave when Han Du suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing."
Lao Zhu looked indifferent, without any emotion or anger, and said calmly: "Let's talk."
Others didn't understand what Han Du wanted to say. They were about to leave, but they couldn't help but stopped, preparing to listen first and then speak.
Originally, Lao Zhu thought that Han Du had some other shipping matters and needed help.
Unexpectedly, after Han Du bowed and bowed, he said: "The Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition to Naha is out, what should we do next?"
After that? What are your plans for the future? Lao Zhu looked at Han Du with confusion in his eyes.
Han Du smiled and said preparedly: "Your Majesty, once the Ming Dynasty defeats Naha Chu, the fertile fields north of Shanhaiguan and between Liaodong and Liaohe River, with hundreds of thousands of people, will belong to the Ming Dynasty. Such a large area, such a large area, will belong to the Ming Dynasty.
How to deal with multiple people needs to be formulated in advance."
How to deal with it? To be honest, Lao Zhu had not thought about how to deal with these lands and people. The reason why he wanted to march north was because Lao Zhu knew that he could not just sit back and watch Nahachu gradually grow bigger, so he wanted to get rid of this personal problem in advance.
As for what to do with the land and people left behind after Naha Chu is removed?
Well, really, Lao Zhu never thought about it.
It's okay for people to say that it's up to them to fend for themselves. But do they have to send troops to occupy the land? In that case, the cost will be too high.
"What do you think should be done?" Lao Zhu didn't have any good ideas at the moment. He raised his eyes and looked at Han Du, wanting to hear what Han Du thought.
Han Du's smile
He Wen did not directly say what to do, but talked about history, "For a long time, our Chinese people have surrendered to the surrounding barbarians because of their superiority, violence or mercy. But as long as the Central Plains dynasty declines, the surrounding barbarians will
The barbarians will overthrow the wall and invade the Central Plains to get a share of the pie. Once the Central Plains dynasty is unified, its status as the leader of the world will be restored, just like the former Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. The former Song Dynasty was weak, and the former Yuan Dynasty was weak.
Waiting for an opportunity to peek into the Central Plains, the rise of the Ming Dynasty began to make the four sides surrender. For more than two thousand years, the cycle has been going on and on."
"If the Ming Dynasty wants to avoid being invaded by barbarians from all directions in the future, it must find ways to eliminate this hidden danger as soon as possible."
Han Du's words resonated with Lao Zhu's heart. Isn't that what he thought in his heart?
Looking up at Han Du, Lao Zhu calmly responded: "The reason why I continue to conquer Can Yuan is to completely eliminate them and avoid future troubles."
After all, dynasties rise and fall, this is something Lao Zhu knows. And once the Ming Dynasty weakens and is invaded by barbarians in the future, his descendants will be the first to be unlucky.
Lao Zhu naturally did not want such a scene to occur, so he always spared no effort in attacking Can Yuan.
Han Du smiled and sighed: "Your Majesty, conquest alone cannot eliminate this hidden danger."
Lao Zhu immediately raised his eyes and looked at Han Du, with a fierce glint in his eyes.
Others also looked up at Han Du, wondering why he was so bold and refuted the emperor face to face.
Tang He's face even darkened, and he was ready to fight tooth and nail to rescue Han Du.
"Oh? How can you see it?" Lao Zhu calmed down the turmoil in his heart and asked with a smile.
Han Du cleared his throat and said directly: "The Qin and Han Dynasties attacked the Xiongnu, the Sui and Tang Dynasties attacked the Turks, and now we are attacking the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. For thousands of years, the people on that land have been replaced again and again, just like the spring breeze blows.
However, their hostility towards the Central Plains has not changed at all from the beginning to the end. It can be seen that this threat cannot be eradicated by force alone. If the Ming Dynasty does not change its strategy, this hidden danger is likely to continue.
At most, it will be replaced by another group of people."
At first, Lao Zhu thought that Han Du was just alarmist, but now after listening to his words, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
This is indeed the case. For thousands of years, successive dynasties have carried out purges again and again, each time spending huge amounts of manpower, material and financial resources. Even like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to attack the Xiongnu, he almost brought the country to the point of destruction.
The attack on the Xiongnu was neither too strong nor too cruel. "If we lose the Qilian Mountains, our animals will not be able to live; if we lose the Yanzhi Mountains, my married women will be colorless." The Xiongnu were forced into a desperate situation and had to stay far away.
Travel to the Western Regions.
But even so, what was the result? The people on the grassland were just a new breed. However, in just a few hundred years, the surrounding barbarians came back again, almost cutting off the Han family.
"Why is this so?" Lao Zhu looked ferocious and looked directly at Han Du, as if Han Du had shattered his dream with his own hands.
Fortunately, Lao Zhu still had some sense in his heart and just yelled at Han Du instead of taking action rashly.
Han Du was also startled by Lao Zhu's sudden and violent reaction, and he did not dare to hesitate and replied: "Because there is land, there will be production. Although the past dynasties have conquered the grasslands countless times, they are only temporary.
He has conquered people, but not the land." If the navy wants to continue to improve its status in Lao Zhu's heart, it must make achievements and reflect the importance of the navy.
