My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji didn't know him very well, and all the understanding was obtained in this era.

Zhu Di smiled when he heard the words: "The words of the child should not be taken seriously. Dongying is a country that the father and emperor personally determined will not be conquered. How can it be taken lightly?"

Ji Gang knew Zhu Zhanji's thoughts. Although he hadn't talked with Zhu Zhanji in detail, he also knew that the appearance of Japanese pirates this time actually fit Zhu Zhanji's plan.

So he leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, I think that since Your Highness has this analysis, there must be more than just raising troops. Dongying is a country that will not be conquered, but it is not only about raising troops to solve the problem of Japanese pirates."

He easily handed over the topic to Zhu Zhanji again. Although it seemed to shirk responsibility, in fact, this is what really fits Zhu Zhanji's thinking.

Hearing this, Zhu Di smiled and said, "How old is he? This is a major national event, and it cannot be broken in his hands." However, he looked at Zhu Zhanji again, and said, "Since you are concerned about the situation of the Japanese pirates, If you have some understanding, then tell me what you think!"

Having been in this era for more than ten years, Zhu Zhanji is still not used to the way people speak in this era.

Just like this time, even if Zhu Di likes Zhu Zhanji no matter how much he wants to be promoted, he will deliberately demean himself and be humble before pretending to deliberately give you a chance to show off.

Although it doesn't matter if Zhu Zhanji said something wrong at this time, he can't talk about things, do you have something to say?

(The first update today, I will strive for the third update today.)

Chapter 78 Naval Commander

But Zhu Zhanji also knows that the biggest difference between politics and business lies in tolerance and precision.

As a business leader, what you need is a clear and precise positioning, and set clear goals for your business empire, so that you can unite as one and develop your company better.

However, a country involves all aspects of the entire society. Any choice is tantamount to giving up another path, and the right and wrong of this choice cannot be discovered in a short period of time.

The development of a country requires tolerance and compatibility.This also means that more subtle and methodical strategies are needed to bring all the different strategies together.

Politics is all about balance and compromise, and this is the same no matter in ancient times or in modern times.

He thinks that he has a rather irritable personality and cannot tolerate Liu Bang and Li Shimin like that.However, he thinks he can use his power to achieve his goals, just like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.

Hearing what Zhu Di said, he thought for a while and said: "My grandson thinks that the current situation in the Muromachi shogunate is unpredictable. Although Emperor Komatsu is in the seat of Emperor Shikiko, Emperor Saimitsu is not in power. And the Muromachi shogunate Ashikaga Yoshimochi and Ashikaga The veterans of the Yoshimitsu family, including his younger brother Ashikaga Yoshiji, had a bad relationship. Ashikaga Yoshichi chose to transfer the general's mansion from Kitayama to the Sanjo Mansion. In this complicated relative relationship, I, Da Ming, can make a decision between them. Multi-party operations will make the situation develop in a direction that is beneficial to Daming."

"When the upper-level relations in Japan are under control, we can carry out policies that benefit our Ming Dynasty in Japan in an orderly manner. The struggle between Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and Ashikaga Yoshimitsu must be controlled. It is beneficial for the Ming Dynasty policy to continue to play a role.”

The Ming Dynasty in this era is truly the world's number one power and the center of the world, and all foreign countries are considered to be poor and barbaric lands.

Even the senior officials of Ming Dynasty, they don't know much about countries other than Ming Dynasty, and they don't even bother to know.

Fang Bin laughed when he heard the words: "Your Highness, is this thankless move really useful? From my point of view, the Japanese pirates are nothing more than scabies, and our Ming fleet is invincible, even the navy of the puppet Zhou Zhang Shicheng is invincible." Being destroyed by my Great Ming, they are nothing to be afraid of."

Zhu Zhanji asked with a smile, "What is the purpose of the war?"

"Let my Ming Dynasty be peaceful all over the world."

"Then if we can solve this problem without war, why do we have to send out a large army? War is always just a means, not an end."

Although Fang Bin is the Minister of the Ministry of War and holds great power, even if he does not agree with Zhu Zhanji's opinion, he will not argue with Zhu Zhanji.

Therefore, when he heard Zhu Zhanji say this, he knew that Zhu Zhanji had already made up his mind, so he immediately changed his position and said: "Your Highness, this is a benevolent government, and I can't do it."

The benevolent government of bullshit, although the war is more vicious, it will not hurt the root of the Japanese pirates.But when Zhu Zhanji said this, he was directly digging the foundation of Dongpu, which was much more sinister than sending a large army to encircle and suppress.

Therefore, no one took Fang Bin's words seriously.

Zhu Di listened to Zhu Zhanji's words, pondered for a while and asked: "Ji'er's move is an old-fashioned move to seek the country, but he didn't mention the Japanese pirates coming from the south..."

Zhu Zhanji responded: "This is the current politics, and it is not for the grandson who has not been in charge of the government to comment on it."

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Since I have allowed you to form a navy and expand the territory for our Ming Dynasty, I also allow you to participate in military affairs. To eliminate pirates requires the coordination of coastal guards. Jier can also be familiar with military conditions and help us Daming Haijiang Anjing made suggestions."

Even Ji Gang was surprised when he heard Zhu Di say that Zhu Zhanji was to be a military counselor for the first time.

The current prince, Zhu Gaochi, has been the prince for 11 years, but it is just a decoration, not to mention military affairs, and even internal affairs, he only has the right to consult, not counselor.

The power of council is to allow the prince to participate in the discussion and increase his political experience, but without decision-making power, it means that his words are useless at all.In many cases, Zhu Gaochi would not say anything in order to avoid suspicion.

But Zhu Zhanji is only 17 years old now, and Zhu Di has promised him that he can be a military counselor, that is, not only the right to participate in meetings, but also the right to make decisions.

Ji Gang's eyes looked at Zhu Zhanji, and he felt more and more grateful.

Fang Bin was also taken aback, and only then did he understand why Zhu Di brought him with him when he came to Xingqing Palace today.

In the Ming Dynasty, the military and the government were separated, and the civil servants did not care about the military, and the military did not participate in the civil affairs. There were only a few institutions such as the Ministry of War and the Department of General Administration, where civilian officials participated in military administration.

The military and political system headed by the Dudufu of the Five Armies only has the right to lead troops, but not the right to deploy troops.The Ministry of War does not have the right to lead troops, but controls the right to deploy troops.

Therefore, the purpose of bringing him here is to lay the foundation for Zhu Zhanji to lead the army.

It's just that he hasn't figured out what it means to form a navy.

The Daming Navy was formed from the Poyang Lake water battle. At present, the Daming Navy is already the most powerful fleet in the world. The glory of Zheng He's voyages to the West is well known, and the world is all surrendered to the majesty of the Daming Navy.

He defeated Chen Zuyi, the biggest pirate king in South Asia on his first voyage to the west, and captured his king alive and subverted his country in the third battle of Ceylon launched.

Today's Daming Navy is equipped with hundreds of warships of various styles, including 1350 cruise ships, 1350 warships, and 400 large ships and 400 grain transport ships stationed at the Xinjiangkou Base in Nanjing, of which 250 are ocean-going treasure ships. .

In addition, there are also a large number of police and law enforcement ships and order ships that guard the ocean and patrol the river. The famous Zheng He fleet is actually just a mobile fleet of the powerful Ming Empire Navy.

On a large battleship, there are more than 40 main battle guns onboard, far exceeding the sum of the fleets of all countries at the same time, and it can be called the world's largest fleet!

Since then, the Daming Navy has no rivals in the world.

So, what kind of navy should be formed now?What is the difference between a navy and a navy?

Before he asked, Zhu Zhanji had already spoken out.He knew very well that Zhu Di only brought Fang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War, but did not bring people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies here today. The purpose was to provide convenience for himself and get support from Fang Bin.

As long as there is Fang Bin's support, even if the Five Armies Governor's Office objects in the future, it will not have much effect.

Zhu Zhanji made a bow to Fang Bin and said: "Since ancient times, naval divisions have been part of the army and are under the jurisdiction of the army."

Fang Bin asked, "What is an army?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Anyone who fights on land, whether it is infantry, cavalry, or artillery, belongs to the army."

Fang Bin nodded and signaled Zhu Zhanji to continue.

Zhu Zhanji also said: "However, this world is much bigger than we know. Outside of Ming Dynasty, there are countless countries and lands waiting for my Ming Dynasty to occupy. At this time, we need a team with an independent command system." The army serves my Ming Dynasty, and is no longer subject to the constraints of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. Therefore, I proposed to the emperor's grandfather that a new naval command be established outside the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, with the same functions as the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. In addition to the unified coordination and arrangement of the Ministry of War, it is no longer under the jurisdiction of any department."

Fang Bin asked: "Because of its independent command, it was promoted from the navy to the navy, so as to distinguish it from the army? Although it has independent command, it is still assigned by the Ministry of War?"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "This is the case at present."

Fang Bin immediately cupped his hands to Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, this is a good deed, and my minister seconded it."

He is very clear that the Ministry of War actually has no control over the military lords and nobles of the five-army governor's mansion. Even the military rations, the Ministry of War does not dare to delay for a moment.
