In the capital, the Ganqing Palace, and the imperial front meeting, several cabinet masters quarreled.

Zhu Youjian, who was sitting on the imperial throne, found that since this year, the number of quarrels in the cabinet has increased, and the quarrels have not been fixed.

This is a good phenomenon.

Zhu Youjian drank the Yuqian Longjing, which had just been paid tribute in Hangzhou, and waited for the classic saying of the Pavilion Masters, "Please give the emperor a decision."

A few days ago, Huang Taiji's envoys who negotiated peace arrived in the capital, and the news brought about a huge sensation in the officialdom of the capital.

Huang Taiji sent a signal to the Ming Dynasty through his envoy: as long as the Ming Dynasty opened up the Jinzhou market, the Jin Kingdom would give up Guangning and surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Youjian saw Huang Taiji's peace talks, he realized that the Tartars were about to be driven crazy by economic sanctions.

Regardless of ancient and modern times, it is very hooligan to impose economic sanctions on a single economy that is difficult to self-sufficient in even daily necessities.

But Zhu Youjian likes such rogue methods very much now.

The people in Liaodong were poor and poor. As long as the country could be stable in the Ming Dynasty, he could be dragged to death.

Zhu Youjian saw this very clearly, but the ministers in the cabinet did not have the knowledge of his later generations for as many as four hundred years, and they were still quarreling about the right and right war.

After more than an hour of argument, it was almost time for dinner, so the elders turned their attention to Zhu Youjian.

"This matter is very important, please decide!"

Seeing that it was finally his turn to speak, Zhu Youjian took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and prepared to popularize the relevant knowledge of the economic war to the six cabinet masters.

"My dear friends, Sun Tzu's Art of War says that the superior army attacks plan, and the second is to attack diplomatic relations, and the next is to attack the troops. The subordinate attacks the city. The method of attacking the city is a last resort. If you do not fight, you will be defeated by others. The good ones are good."

I have been with these old masters for a long time, and now Zhu Youjian can put on a few famous sayings.

But after looking at the confused look of several old men, Zhu Youjian thought it would be better to go straight to the point.

"The Jin Dynasty had only one million people and only one hundred thousand soldiers. The land was in Liaodong and was bitter and cold. It only took one season a year. Recently, it suffered from natural disasters and no benefits of fish, salt and iron. The people had been hungry for a long time. This was not the way to establish a country."

"However, since the rebellion of the Wanli period, the old slave chief has been around for more than 20 years, and has grown from more than a hundred people and mountains and fields to this day. There are 100,000 soldiers in the entire Liaodong area, one is due to the prosperity of military wars, and the other is to plunder our Ming Dynasty."

"The Jurchens, a mountain fisherman, did not do production, but only rely on looting. However, their rapid development has actually contributed a lot to our foundation in Liaodong, Liaodong for more than 200 years."

"However, since Guangning, all the land in Liaodong was lost, and the Tartars had no choice but to attack Ningjin Mountain and Sea, and the Jin Dynasty was not strong enough."

"So, in order to maintain his rule over Liaodong, the Tatars' looting strategy turned to Mongolia and North Korea in recent years. At the end of last year, the strategy of robbing Tiger Dun Rabbit was disturbed by our Ming Dynasty. I heard that at the end of February, the little slave chief sent Amin and Mangurtai to lead 10,000 troops to march into North Korea. The purpose was obvious."

"A few days ago, the book "War and Peace" I gave you and others records that the foundation for maintaining rule of the nomadic fishing and hunting nations like Jurchens and Mongolia is to fight and plunder foreign wars."

"Its unproductive nature and its difficult economic model to be self-sufficient have led to its extremely fragile domestic economy. Once foreign wars are unfavorable, its domestic economy will face collapse."

"And the Jin Dynasty is facing such a situation. Last year, Liaodong suffered a severe drought, grain production was reduced, and it was robbed at the end of the year. This spring, the famine in Liaodong was extremely serious."

"I heard that the price of rice in Shengjing has reached ten taels of silver per stone, even more so in Hetuala, Haizhou, Tieling and other places. Even if you can't buy a stone of rice for fifteen taels of silver, you will eat each other."

"And I have banned the trade between the people and Liaodong. I guess that the little slave chief has reached a very difficult point, otherwise he would not have sent an envoy to negotiate peace with me."

"Can you know the causes and consequences of this peace talk?"

Zhu Youjian said this and wiped out all the ministers.

These cabinet masters are all important officials who have been in the officialdom for a long time, so they naturally know the reason why Huang Taiji sent envoys to negotiate peace.

But knowing that it is one thing, it is really difficult for them to analyze the essence of the Jurchens, the emerging regime, so thoroughly.

Although in terms of IQ, any of them are smarter than Zhu Youjian, they are far from reaching the essence of slave society and feudal society, as well as some strategies based on modern political economy.

But at this time, after Zhu Youjian's guidance, several cabinet masters gradually became enlightened.

"Your Majesty is wise and comparable to Tang Zong Song Zu. The wolf ambition of the little slave chief was revealed by Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian didn't need to look at it, so he knew that the first supporting actor must be Huang Liji.

After more than half a year of running-in, Zhu Youjian and Huang Liji have now cooperated very well.

Huang Liji has a lot of experience in supporting the role.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian waved his hand again, Huang Liji stopped talking.

"The little slave chief's peace talks today are just a delaying strategy. I hope I will open a border market and give the Jurchens a chance to breathe."

"Besides, Guangning City has been demolished by our army, and now it is a pile of rubble. What do I want? I even take off my pants and fart. I don't need him as a minister. So, don't think about the harmony between me and the Jin Kingdom. Unless the little slave chief returns me to the entire Liaodong area and binds himself to apologize, I will make plans for the people and the country, and maybe I can talk to him."

Zhu Youjian said that Sun Chengzong and other pro-war factions felt extremely happy when they heard this, and their eyes looked proud when they glanced at Shi Fenglai.

"But war is also not possible. The Tartars cannot produce, but military wars are indeed better than our Ming Dynasty. This is the reality. Since Yongle, our Ming Dynasty army has been declining and has not had the power to fight against the Eight Banners of the Tartars to this day."

"If you rashly go out to fight in a field, it is not a war, but it is actually a gift to the Jin Kingdom to send food and pay soldiers. I will not agree with this unwise move."

At this time, Li Guopu, who heard Zhu Youjian's words, stepped forward to worship.

"If you don't fight, how can you ask Your Majesty how you should deal with the Tartars?"

"Yuanzhi, Your Majesty has already made it clear, and there will be no harmony without fighting."

Shi Fenglai is worthy of being the second place in the country, and his mind is naturally faster than Li Guopu.

"Haha, what Shi Aiqing said is very much, and he will not be in harmony without fighting. Huang Taiji has no sincerity, so let's just drag it."

"The Jurchens use millions of people in Liaodong, a corner to fight against our Ming Dynasty's people and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. This is to attack our strengths with the other's short-term attacks. The Ming Dynasty can afford it, but the Jin Kingdom may not be able to afford it."
