While there are some things I can decide for myself, there are others that Zhu Yunying will undoubtedly push things along or secretly instruct. However, regardless, these matters require collective decision-making within the group to ensure more reliable execution.
These matters also need to be discussed with the high-ranking officials in the court, and Zhu Yunying does not need to rush to clarify them in the short term.
Ultimately, it was because this was a secret report sent by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, not some official gazette or anything like that. The Great Yu was actually trying its best to conceal such information.
The main concern wasn't necessarily a military campaign by the Ming Dynasty to quell the rebellion; the primary issue was the ongoing conflict with the neighboring Champa kingdom. Hu Jili's rise to power was due to taking advantage of the opportunity presented by the defense against Champa's invasions, as he clearly didn't want his kingdom to be destroyed shortly after ascending the throne.
Zhu Yunying smiled but didn't say much more. External affairs naturally needed to be considered. However, for Zhu Yunying, the most important thing was to manage the affairs of the Ming Dynasty well. Only when the country was prosperous and the people strong, and the political situation stable, could he have more time and energy to consider matters in the surrounding areas.
Having Wang Chengen deliver these secret reports to Zhu Yunying for review was something Zhu Yunying should do, and it could probably be considered a small source of pride and boasting for him.
Because according to Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, Annam and other such places were the so-called "countries not to be conquered," places that he felt were "unprofitable." But now, those "countries not to be conquered" have long been recovered by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he never said such things.
As for the benefits these places could bring to the Ming Dynasty, it's undeniable. Old Zhu, a staunch feudalist, was far more attached to land than to the sea. However, at present, the sea could still provide the Ming Dynasty with sufficient assistance and benefits.
Some changes in mindset don't happen overnight. The most important thing is to let people see real benefits, which is more persuasive than empty words!
