Chapter 154 Wang Buli's ideas are always too radical
Wang Buli and Zhu Di looked at each other, with a surprisingly tacit understanding, and did not refute Li Jinglong.
Zhu Di grew up with his cousin, so he knew how much he weighed!
Even Zhu Di did not say that he would become the general of the Northern Army.
He has this dream, and he is obediently practicing with his hundreds of palace guards. He has not yet gone to the fiefdom to expand his recruitment.
At present, only Lan Yu, who has repeatedly made military exploits, says this and no one dares to laugh at her.
The rest of my younger life didn't even have this idea.
Wang Buli learned from historical knowledge that Li Jinglong was not a general at all.
He is just the son of the famous general Li Wenzhong.
Thanks to the stagnant policy formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang.
If I am the emperor, then my son will also become the emperor.
You are a general, and your son will also be a general in the future.
Why can't your son be generalissimo?
Because the Grand Marshal also has his own son!
Your status has been planned by Lao Zhu the moment you were born.
Princes, generals and prime ministers have the talent!
Li Jinglong's smug look gradually disappeared.
Because he found that neither of them had any trouble with him.
"Why, you two bastards don't believe in our military accomplishments?"
Zhu Di glanced at Wang Buli, hoping that his always damaging mouth would hit Li Jinglong hard and make Li Jinglong wake up.
But he found that Wang Buli was also looking at him, and his eyes signaled him to do this.
"Damn it, this guy is so treacherous."
Zhu Di cursed secretly, but he was not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so there was no need to be such a villain, and Li Jinglong would not be sent by him in the future.
Zhu Di then said with a smile:
"I still want to kill all the Japanese pirates who dare to land in our Ming Dynasty.
These small-scale Japanese disturbances are just a good time to practice and test your formations. "
Wang Buli also nodded: "Yes, how can anyone become a general when they come up?
Even my father-in-law slowly grew up from being a big-headed soldier on the front line of battle. "
The two people's tactful words successfully diverted Li Jinglong's thinking, and he nodded and said:
"I have great admiration for Your Majesty."
Wang Buli thought to himself, isn’t this nonsense?
After seeing this topic exposed, Zhu Di said:
"I will continue to send people to find out the specific information about the Japanese pirates. When the time comes, we will ambush you. You, a classic, can't refuse, right?"
"Well, I strongly agree with killing the Japanese. If I have the chance, I will definitely defeat the Japanese. If you have any confirmed news, call me and prepare a pair of armor for me."
"Ok?"
Neither Zhu Di nor Li Jinglong understood Wang Buli's words.
The Japanese country was a poor place with a narrow land. It was not worthwhile for the Ming Dynasty to spend a lot of military expenditures to conquer it.
"Why?" Li Jinglong took the lead and said:
"If you change the target of your campaign in that remote and remote area of Japan, I'd really admire you."
"Yes, the Mongols' two expeditions to Japan were stopped because of storms. We will also encounter the same thing if we go to sea rashly."
Zhu Di still agreed with Li Jinglong's judgment on the Japanese state.
"It's just that the timing was wrong. The Mongols are not good at navigation. They are a people on horseback.
Otherwise, how did the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty and the monk Jianzhen come and go during the Tang Dynasty? "
Wang Buli feels that current navigation technology is more developed, especially the Song Dynasty's foreign trade was more prosperous.
Naturally, the two semi-illiterates would not refute it by pointing out that Monk Jianzhen traveled eastward six times before succeeding. Instead, they felt that what Wang Buli said made sense.
Zhu Di's understanding of Japan came from Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding of Japan was not comprehensive.
He felt that Japan was a unified country, and he wanted to turn Japan into a vassal state to pay tribute, and then control the behavior of Japanese pirates at the national level.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not realize that the king of Japan was a puppet, and that the shogunate actually controlled the real power. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang only recognized the Japanese who came to the court as the "King of Japan", and did not recognize the other forces.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang sent people to Japan, it was just to announce the matter, and there was no so-called investigation at all. Most of his knowledge of Japan was obtained from the information left by Emperor Yuan Shun after Xu Da and others conquered Dadu of the Yuan Dynasty. Come.
The envoys of the "Japanese King" of the Dajue family came to the Ming Dynasty and wrote letters, but they would not tell Zhu Yuanzhang the true situation in Japan.
They naturally wanted to protect the interests of the Dajue family, and deliberately concealed and exaggerated their influence and sphere of influence.
To prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from supporting other forces after learning the truth.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang came to his own judgment about Japan based on this withheld and distorted information.
That is, there are a small number of disobedient people in Japan, but he believes that the Japanese king can handle it well, and then unify Japan and control the Japanese rebellion.
It is a pity that the line of Japanese kings was simply unable to accomplish what Zhu Yuanzhang imagined.
On the contrary, they still want to use Zhu Yuanzhang's support and protection to them to maintain their remaining power.
Moreover, the shogunate of the Northern Dynasties was unwilling to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, nor was it willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty.
These people don't care whether Ming Dynasty is the overlord of East Asia, nor do they care whether the King of Japan is orthodox.
They just want to protect their own interests, continue to plunder and sell to gain wealth, and live the chic life they want.
Therefore, this group of people was the main military force in the Japanese rebellion in the early Ming Dynasty.
Sun Tzu said that he knew himself and his enemy, but Lao Zhu's information about the Japanese state was not true, and his judgment was naturally distorted.
"But all the money that Japan had was poor came to our Ming Dynasty to plunder it. If we go there, we won't be able to get anything back."
"Yeah, it's a poor place, and it's of no use. The people are short and ugly, and they can't even apply rouge.
I have seen portraits of Japanese women. Their teeth are black and their faces are white. They are not normal people. I can’t even stop talking. "
Li Jinglong shook his head, feeling that Japanese women were very ugly.
But this kind of custom is all about the dress of noble ladies, and ordinary Japanese women cannot afford to dress up.
Wang Buli knew that even Zhu Yuanzhang knew little about the Japanese country, let alone others.
These people didn't know as much about the Japanese country as those who were defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang and went to sea to become pirates.
In addition, before the Ming Dynasty, China basically did not face threats from the sea. Whether it was internal strife or external expansion, it all took the land route.
It can be said that the previous dynasties had no concept of coastal defense at all.
The furthest the Maritime Silk Road goes is probably at the Red Sea.
Envoys from other countries mostly came to the Central Plains from the Western Regions via the Hexi Corridor. However, in the Ming Dynasty, shipbuilding technology developed and large-scale maritime trade expanded.
There are not only Japanese ships on China's coastline, but also ships from Portugal, thus creating a maritime threat.
Wang Buli would not rashly say that there are gold and silver mines hidden in Japan, which can solve the Ming Dynasty's shortage of gold and silver.
"You all don't understand what I mean. Since the Mongols dare to rob our people, we will fight back to their hometown to rob their cattle and sheep as revenge."
Wang Buli looked at Zhu Di and said: "Nowadays, people from a small Japanese country dare to come to our Ming Dynasty to kill people and snatch women back.
If we don't retaliate against them severely, wouldn't it mean that after the Ming Dynasty's military weakens slightly, they will dare to come? "
Li Jinglong was the first to be unhappy. How could the Ming Dynasty decline if it was so powerful?
Zhu Di understood that not all military forces could continue to be tyrannical.
Wang Buli just looked at Zhu Di and asked:
"The Anhui Liao brothers and Yu Tonghai have taken refuge with the emperor and have experienced many wars over the years. The navy is now under the jurisdiction of the governor.
After the Japanese pirates problem arose, they started patrolling to deter them, and the patrols never stopped, and the size of the naval force continued to increase. How can you avoid them and fight against Japanese pirates? "
Wang Buli had no hope for Li Jinglong's brain. He knew that Zhu Di understood what he meant.
"My Ming Dynasty has such a long coastline. If there are naval patrols, the Japanese pirates will not come to cause trouble. That is simply impossible."
Zhu Di is very confident about this place:
"The Japanese pirates are not fools. They waited for my Ming Dynasty navy to patrol before launching a surprise attack. Recently, I have been studying the Japanese pirates' tactics a lot."
"So we should not wait for the Japanese pirates to come and defend passively. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Once the border defense is relaxed for a long time, and these Japanese pirates suddenly come to kill, wouldn't it be a missed mission?"
Wang Buli snorted and laughed twice: "So in my opinion, in order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from being attacked by the Japanese pirates, we should take the initiative to attack and destroy this group of bandits."
Although Duke Cao Li Wenzhong mainly fought against the Mongols, in recent years he also took the initiative to write to Zhu Yuanzhang and request him to set up seven garrisons in Zhejiang to prepare for the Japanese invasion.
Wang Buli nodded with satisfaction. Although Zhu Di was semi-literate, he was a person who was willing to devote energy and time to military research.
Although Li Jinglong claimed to be well-read in military literature, he had almost no actual practice, and he was not very thoughtful in this regard.
Everyone is willing to praise him, because his father and grandfather are both Cao Guogong.
Nowadays, Xin Guogong Tang He has not been ordered to plan coastal defense. In any case, it must be Lao Zhu's policy ten years later.
Such as land-based infantry and water-equipped warships, which are passive defenses in the offshore and land directions.
In the later period, Lao Zhu listed Japan as a country not to be conquered, but the coastal defense system of the Ming Dynasty was not established and perfected until Xuande. From Orthodoxy to Jiajing, the coastal defense system was stagnant and derelict. From the end of Jiajing to Wanli, it was reform and development, and after Wanli it was weakened.
Although Zhu Di was very encouraged by Wang Buli's words, the current situation of Ming Dynasty was that it was simply unable to send troops to Japan.
It's okay to let the navy patrol along the coastline, but if they go out across the sea, they have no such experience.
Not as experienced as those Japanese pirates.
"Now that you understand the Japanese pirates' combat rules, I believe we can chop off the heads of those Japanese pirates next time we go on an expedition.
At that time, we will parade around the capital to show off our power, hang their corpses on small islands along the coast, and warn these dogs that as long as they dare to come to the Ming Dynasty to cause trouble, they will die. "
Li Jinglong glanced at Wang Buli.
As expected, he had the experience of killing more than a hundred people in prison, and his words were ruthless.
The style of Li Jinglong, a kid from a wealthy family, actually had no experience with murder, and he didn't even go to the execution ground to observe it.
Zhu Di also felt that Wang Buli's thinking was too radical, even more radical than him, a prince.
Because the entire Ming Dynasty, from top to bottom, had a relatively moderate and conservative policy towards Japanese pirates.
"Isn't it a little cruel to promote my great power like this?"
Zhu Di has no objection to killing, but he still doesn't want the method of killing to be too cruel.
He has never experienced war personally, and his heart has not been hardened yet.
Wang Buli changed the topic again: "By the way, how is the four or five-year-old daughter you bought doing lately?"
