Chapter 468: The North Chase Tumut
Zhu Youxiao's meaning was very clear, since they had the courage to commit a crime in the south, then Da Ming could not be soft, and he had to fight back!
What we need to do today is to negotiate a charter and how to fight.
Zhu Youxiao's heart was excited, he looked around at the ministers under the steps, and said with a smile: "Zhuqing, since they have all returned to the dynasty, don't hide them all, if you have anything to say, you can mention it!" ”
"Your Majesty, today has just resumed the dynasty, and this important matter is discussed, not to mention that the battle of Liaodong was only fought last year, and then the war will start, I am afraid that it will be a burden on the people of the world."
As soon as he finished saying this, an imperial historian stood up.
Yushi's words caused three or five of the courtiers to nod their heads again and again, and although they did not echo it, they also expressed their positions below.
Some people also looked at the top worriedly, on the first day of the resumption of the dynasty, it was so contrary to the holy will, and the courage of this imperial history surnamed Ma was too great.
Everyone can see that the Emperor of the Apocalypse is full of determination and excitement is written on his face!
The news of Datong's victory made the emperor a rare joy for several days, and it was not a matter of asking for hardship to oppose it at this time.
If anyone really dares to stand up and say what they are against, it will be really stupid.
Sure enough, Zhu Youxiao's face was visibly gloomy quickly, and just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting to see a good show and were silent, he suddenly changed his smile and said:
"Ma Yushi is worried about the people of the country, and what he said is not unreasonable, but I ask you, how are the people living in various places now, do you know?"
The imperial history surnamed Ma also thought that he was going to finish the game and was regretting it? Hearing this, I was also stunned? Busy said: "The minister doesn't know, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”
"Since you don't know? Where's the burden? ”
How many laughs did Zhu Youxiao laugh? waved to Yushi to return to work, sat down on it and said:
"There are quite a few people who have this idea, right? I know? You all think the same as Ma Yushi, and years of war will indeed increase the burden on the people. ”
"But right now? There are no harsh taxes in the imperial court! ”
"After the establishment of the Nanjing Counselor's Machinery Institute? Wang Zaijin made a note in a few days, and even the tax situation of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River was clear, and the places in the south of the Yangtze River were even richer than you imagined. ”
Zhu Youxiao said this halfway? but he did not say it explicitly from above.
So to speak? Now there are no fundamentally good people who can stand here, everyone has their own calculations, and how can they not hear the meaning of the emperor's words.
Jiangnan is rich, is this true? But it is not hidden from the people, it is the merchants and gentry who are rich. Of course? Compared with the Central Plains, the life of the people in the south of the Yangtze River can indeed be called petty bourgeoisie.
And now the Central Plains? Although disasters occur from time to time, the victory lies in the government's preparations? Even if there is an earthquake in five provinces? Also because of the court's scheduling? It didn't hurt much.
Having said that, many people understand that the Ming Dynasty has enough background, and the finances have improved in recent years, so it doesn't hurt to fight another battle.
But the Western captives were different, they themselves were poor and poor, and they could barely survive by raiding and plundering from the south.
If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to fight back, there will be such a disaster in the coming year.
"What do you think now, should you fight back?" Zhu Youxiao waited to discuss for a while, then smiled slightly and asked again.
This time, there was praise from the face.
"It's time to go back!"
"Your Majesty, this is an immortal achievement to expand the territory!"
The ministers spoke out one after another, and even the Ma Yushi, who had just objected, was now raising his arms and shouting, shouting to break out of the gate.
"Zhang Weixian, tell me what you think." Zhu Youxiao cast his eyes on the side of the honor, led by the British public Zhang Weixian.
Zhang Weixian was forced to enter the military engine room, and when he entered, he only put his name inside, and in fact, all major matters were handed over to the emperor for decision.
The significance of the establishment of the military engine room is to restrain the imperial power and check and balance the cabinet.
It doesn't matter how many courtiers there are and who they are, the important thing is that the office of the military machine room is located in the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, which is only one corridor away from the emperor's approval.
"I think this battle should be fought, but it shouldn't be our troops."
Zhang Weixian's words were astonishing.
"The area around Guihua City and Chi'er Mountain is full of barren grass plains, and now that Xitu Mot is in decline, it is easy to fight down, but how to defend it?"
Zhu Youxiao felt that it was also outside the border wall, although after years of development, there were many towns, but after all, there was no danger to defend.
It is easy to fight, but it is very difficult to defend, not only to garrison the people, but also to mobilize a large number of troops to garrison, once surrounded, to save or not to save is a problem.
This is actually the same problem as the proposal to abandon Annam, or it is difficult to defend it, and the land in that area is barren, except for a large part of the territory, the income and expenditure are completely disproportionate.
Just give up, but it's a pity, after all, it's an opportunity to expand the territory.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and motioned for him to continue.
At this time, the courtiers were also discussing, and most of them nodded thoughtfully.
"The three guards of Saibei have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty can send an edict to each of the kings of the three guards, ordering their subordinates to attack Guihua City and capture Chi'er Mountain."
"As for the name of the army, this is simpler, that Lin Dan Batur is conceited and stubborn, and he believes in the dignity of the Great Khan, and easily converts, so that people's hearts are scattered!"
"The Ming Dynasty promised the Monan tribes and the left-wing tribes to convert their religion before, and this time they can promise the areas around Chi'er Mountain and Guihua City to the tribes as religious centers."
"Give them each site in Guihua City and Chi'er Mountain, allow them to live in herdsmen, and open border cities, so that they can win over the hearts of the Mongols and make them available to me."
"In the long run, Lin Dan Batur will be regarded as a lonely man, and all the tribes of the grassland will know that His Majesty is the Lord of Destiny and the King of Sainthood!"
Zhang Weixian said so much in one breath, it can be seen that he also had an idea.
didn't ask if he didn't know, but when he asked, he was startled, and Zhu Youxiao knew that the British duke, who was an honest man who was silent around him, was actually a very knowledgeable person.
This kind of thinking coincides with Zhu Youxiao, and some places are even more thoughtful.
Zhu Youxiao laughed a few times and said:
"That's reasonable!"
"Lin Dan Batur went on an expedition this time, lost his troops and lost his generals, and captured more than 100,000 of my frontier people, and I have to settle these accounts with him one by one!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly said:
"Spread a message to the three guards of Saibei, and let their subordinates attack Tumut! It is said that I intend to support the Yellow Sect as the main sect of Mongolia, and make the city of Guihua the center of religion and the center of trade in Chi'er Mountain. ”
"All the Monan tribes and left-wing tribes that have returned to the Ming Dynasty have a place in the area of Guihua City and Chi'er Mountain, and ask their leaders to personally enter Beijing to meet them, give their sons as hostages, and then discuss!"
"Without this sincerity, don't think about getting a piece of the pie!"
At this point, the ministers naturally no longer have any objections, and shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied, nodded and said: "What else is there to play, take advantage of today's court meeting, and all the secretaries will play to me together!" ”
The words fell, Ni Yuanlu in the household department Langzhong came out and said:
"Your Majesty, since the signing of trade with Francois last year, the Royal Chamber of Commerce has been established in Suzhou, with more than ten local chambers of commerce such as Suzhou Huanghuatang, Hangzhou Hong Liangwen, Denglai Song Shanshi, Datong Zeng Liangyu and so on."
"Song Shanshi of the Denglai Chamber of Commerce revised the book in the household department the day before yesterday, talking about the disadvantages of selling illicit salt today, and asked the imperial court to make illicit salt official."
After saying this, Ni Yuanlu presented the recital, bowed down and said:
"Your Majesty, the minister also feels that the salt trade in Shandong and the two Huai places is indeed too chaotic and lacks effective management."
"The private salt will be uniformly summarized and designated as official salt, which will be uniformly allocated and bought and sold by the imperial court, so that it can also increase a large amount of revenue for the imperial court."
