"Only bring ordinary soldiers forward. Fan'er, the fighting power of the bandits is not weak. What you are going to this time is their lair again. This..."
Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried.
At the beginning, when the Ming Dynasty had troubles, the number of nesters was not large, but they were able to resist the Ming Dynasty's tens of thousands of troops. With just a hundred people, they captured several cities.
Although the national power of the Ming Dynasty was weak at that time, this is enough to illustrate the fighting power of those nesters!
"Father, Wo Ren and I, the people of the Ming Dynasty, are all human beings, so what difference can there be?
Moreover, they are short in stature, but they are not afraid of death."
"However, everyone is afraid of something. As long as we make them afraid, they will run for their lives like mice when they see our Ming Dynasty soldiers."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Although Lin Fan said there was no problem, Emperor Chongzhen was still worried and said in a deep voice: "Fan'er, let's go like this. You can go with the elite of the Jin Yiwei. This way, it will be safer."
"Father, it doesn't have to be like this. The people I brought this time won't be able to come back in a short time. They have to take root there."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
"Fan'er, what do you mean, do you want to occupy the lair of the nest?"
Emperor Chongzhen said in shock.
"Father, the Wo people have always wanted to occupy our Ming Dynasty. If this evil is not eliminated, it will always be a big problem. Therefore, getting rid of them is the right way."
Lin Fan said.
"Fan'er, I agree with you. Do you want to go there in person?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
From just now, Lin Fan didn't say that he wanted to go there in person, but the meaning between the lines was already obvious, and Emperor Chongzhen also reacted at this time.
"Father, this matter is quite important. I will naturally go there in person. But don't worry, Father, I will return in a month at most."
Lin Fan said.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Lin Fan. Although he was worried, Lin Fan had already decided to go and he couldn't stop him. He said, "Okay, Fan'er, be careful in everything."
Lin Fan nodded. Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to bring him an imperial edict. He personally issued an edict, asking Lin Fan to lead troops to the country of Wo.
As soon as this incident came out, the entire Ming Dynasty was shocked. Some wanderers from the country were wreaking havoc on the border of the Ming Dynasty. When they heard about the Ming Dynasty sending troops, they were too scared to go out.
"Yamaguchi-kun, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty gave such an order and sent a hundred thousand troops to attack our country!"
One person said in a deep voice.
"The army in our country is not a vegetarian. Besides, how much fighting power can those soldiers have left after traveling such a long distance?"
"If we return to our country at this time and tell our Emperor Li the matter, we will definitely be reused. If we lead troops to an ambush, we will definitely cause heavy damage to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Haha! What a great idea, let's go to sea and return home now!"
After discussion, several ronin found a merchant ship to return to their home country early. At this time, Lin Fan was already summoning soldiers from all over the Ming Dynasty.
Li Jiantai was in the most miserable situation at this time. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the trapped camp, and the Xuanjia Army did not listen to his orders. Even the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were subdued by Lin Fan also did not listen to his orders.
He finally managed to assemble an army of 300,000 troops, but they were scattered everywhere. It can be said that the combined combat power may not be as good as that of the Xuanjia Army.
Just now, Lin Fan still wants to take away 100,000 for him. When these 100,000 come back, they will become Lin Fan's people again. His military department will become the department with the least power among the six departments.
"Haha! Li Shangshu, can you really endure this?
His Highness the Crown Prince has made it clear that he wants to bully you!"
"Li Shangshu, if I were you, I would definitely fight against His Highness the Crown Prince to the end. He clearly has the Xuanjia Army, so why did he take your subordinates to the Kingdom of Wo?"
"The combat power of the ronin of the Wo Kingdom is quite impressive, not to mention the regular troops of the Wo Kingdom. If these people go, they may never come back!"
"Li Shangshu, I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince still has age requirements for his soldiers. He doesn't want anyone over thirty years old!"
…
Officials from various ministries made some small moves at this time, and approached Li Jiantai to say some sarcastic remarks, hoping that Li Jiantai would take advantage of this opportunity to weaken Lin Fan's power in the court.
Li Jiantai was also struggling internally. The previous ministers of the Ministry of War were responsible for most of the country's troops, but when it was his turn, they were all stragglers.
"Your Highness, your decision is probably a little unfair to Li Jiantai."
Ni Yuanlu found Lin Fan and said in a deep voice.
"kindness?
Is there anything unfair to Li Jiantai?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Your Highness, among all the ministers of the Ministry of War, Li Jiantai is probably the one who has been the most aggrieved. Now you have to select the most elite among those under his control. This..."
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"Haha! You're talking about this. Li Jiantai does have some merits and strength, but he is old and continuing to be in charge of the army will not be good for the Ming Dynasty."
"Besides, when the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil for many years, he was incompetent and unable to clean up the mess. I was the one who took care of the intruders and slave builders. I was responsible for the tiger and leopard cavalry, the trapped camp, and the Xuanjia army."
"As for the stragglers he pulled up behind him, he only pulled them up because I calmed down the war."
"Ni Yuanlu, this is no longer an era based on seniority. If the Ming Dynasty wants to be passed on to generations, it must make changes and let capable people stand out. It is not who has the final say who has higher qualifications."
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
this……
Ni Yuanlu naturally knew that what Lin Fan said was very reasonable, but the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not think so.
"Your Highness, if you don't miss your old feelings at all, there are still a few civil and military people in this dynasty who will sincerely serve you!"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"Ni Yuanlu, can you honestly tell me, those officials who work in the central government, no matter how capable they are, have I ever owed anything to them?"
"Which of them doesn't make money behind the scenes?
As long as the interests of the people and the court are not affected, I will turn a blind eye!"
"If I didn't miss my old relationship, how could they have stayed in this position for so long?"
"Does it mean that nostalgia for old feelings makes them hold on to power?
Since they have no talent, giving them power is harming them, so it would be more practical to give them more money."
Lin Fan patted Ni Yuanlu's shoulder and said.
He knew that Ni Yuanlu who came here today must have been recommended by officials from various ministries for him to bargain with him. As long as he persuaded him, the private complaints of those officials would be completely quelled.
Ni Yuanlu was deeply impressed by Lin Fan's words. It was indeed the case. As long as those who did not go against Lin Fan were living well, the money they earned did not decrease.
