Chapter 438 Ming’s Invincible Fleet
Ye Xuan has naturally heard about these things, but he knows that when things have reached this point, neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor he can control and hinder development.
So, Ye Xuan simply continued to stay at home and ignored the noise from the outside world.
Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew this well and understood that Ye Xuan was unwilling to interfere too much.
When the monarch and his ministers have a tacit understanding, many things will become simple.
In the following period, after dozens of tests, the navy was finally equipped, and Zhu Yuanzhang's decree was finally officially announced.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, the general who led the army to sea before and his 20,000 old troops were once again used by Zhu Yuanzhang as the vanguard of the troops heading to Australia.
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, after this force arrived, it did not need to conduct military operations immediately, but to find the exploration team.
After rendezvous with it, the army wants to conduct a detailed investigation of the continent to confirm that everything is as Ye Xuan said before, before proceeding with follow-up operations.
The reason for this is not because Zhu Yuanzhang does not trust Ye Xuan, but because he is worried that there is something else in the vast sea that Ye Xuan does not know.
If this place is not as big as described and does not have as many supplies, wouldn’t it mean that Ming’s various investments were in vain?
And with the finalization of the candidates for the 810 troops, the army seems to be starting to feel a little lethargic.
With no other choice, Zhu Yuanzhang could only release the news, saying that this was just a drill, and as for the follow-up, more troops would be recruited.
With this news, and the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed reorganizing his armaments and preparing for war with the enemy, the army's fighting spirit was rekindled.
For a time, the entire Ming Dynasty seemed to be enveloped in a special atmosphere. Even civil servants began to speculate where the Ming Dynasty might launch troops and whether more officials would be needed in the future.
It is said that wherever there are people, there are struggles. Even under a powerful king like Zhu Yuanzhang, after peace was restored, the court still could not avoid party strife.
Obviously, the previous Hu Weiyong case only woke up a small number of people, but it was unable to change everyone's mentality.
When the cabinet system emerged, everyone became ambitious again, and struggles emerged as the times require.
Zhu Yuanzhang had known about this for a long time, but did not interfere. After all, as long as the two forces were balanced, it would be beneficial to him.
As for the future, Zhu Yuanzhang believed that he was sure to get rid of the out-of-control party at any time, and he could also support a new force at any time.
This is the king's strategy, and it is not a calculation that outsiders can understand.
It was with this mentality that Zhu Yuanzhang was able to maintain the current stability of Ming Dynasty.
On this day, please stay in the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting at the door of the hall with a dull look on his face.
Since the emergence of the cabinet, he no longer has to personally deal with many things, so his days have naturally become more leisurely.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he actually wanted to find something to do, but as an emperor, he knew that once he got involved in many things, he would definitely leave a bad name in the history books.
He is already old and unable to do many things, so his interest naturally falls on power and fame.
At this moment, there is only one thing left in his heart that he is looking forward to most, and that is to strengthen the Ming Dynasty, so as to improve his evaluation in the history books and become a true emperor through the ages.
After all, in this world today, among all the countries, only the Ming Dynasty can rule the roost.
Regardless of military or economics, the Ming Dynasty can aspire to dominate the world, and can even destroy any country at any time.
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking wildly in his mind, a rustling of footsteps came quickly from a distance and became louder and louder.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and was about to tell the eunuch to take a look, but the visitor was already approaching.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, and then he saw Zhu Biao coming closer, panting heavily.
"Father, there is a secret report!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand, took the document, opened it and read it, with a somewhat complicated look on his face.
"Mao Xiang gave it to you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly, seeming a little unhappy.
The Jinyi Guards were the emperor's restraints. If Mao Xiang really handed over the secret report to Zhu (bhcb) Biao, it would be a bit taboo.
Zhu Biao naturally understood this and hurriedly explained.
"Father, the person who came here was injured and entered the palace directly from outside the city. My son was about to enter the palace. When he discovered this, he took the things and conveyed them on his behalf!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he nodded and his expression softened a lot.
He told the eunuch: "Go and call Mao Xiang!"
The eunuch heard this and left quickly. When no one was around, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to speak.
"This is a secret report from Jinyiwei. It says that Australia is indeed the same as what Ye Xuan said. It's just that our current people are really not enough. I'm afraid we have to send more people."
When Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, his expression was complicated. It was obvious that he also understood that if too many troops were deployed at this moment, it would bring some danger to the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Father, we might as well see if anyone among the people of the Ming Dynasty is willing to go. In this way, we will be able to dominate with more people."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, seeming to think that this method was feasible, but then, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of another thing.
"But as a result, the number of people in our Ming Dynasty will also decrease. With a smaller population, the land will increase. It seems that there is no loss now, but it will be a trouble in the future.
While Zhu Yuanzhang was speaking, Mao Xiang had already hurried over.
He already knew what had just happened. As soon as he came in, he knelt down and prepared to apologize.
Just when Mao Xiang was about to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang had already spoken.
"Okay, tell us how the situation is in Tianzhu!"
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Mao Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly answered.
"Yes, Your Majesty. According to your wishes, our hidden stake has been inserted into their court, and Wushisan and others have also entered their country through smuggling and other channels.
"Now I have at least 50,000 taels of income from Wushi San. If you give me a little more time, I think I can sell 100,000 taels."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately overjoyed. Although he had never tried Wushi San personally, he could clearly see the various tragedies and effects.
He knew that once the upper echelons of Tianzhu took the Five Stone Powder, their leadership and will would collapse.
As for the people, if they really have the money to dilute these things, then their combat effectiveness will not be feared at all.
Although the current income of 50,000 taels is much lower than the normal profit, it has various benefits for Daming, and Zhu Yuanzhang will naturally not mind.
He nodded and said: "In this case, our plan may really be launched directly! But I don't know how to deal with the neighboring countries after Tianzhu is pacified.
