Chapter 491, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away
The robbery of the King's Mall by the Wa Kuo, and the heavy taxes imposed on the Ming ships by the daimyo from all over the Wa Kingdom were soon reported in detail by the Ming Morning Post.
Through the detailed report of the Ming Morning Post, the cruelty of the Japanese and the greed of the Japanese daimyo are described in a vivid and vivid manner, and at the same time, it also mentions the rampant Japanese in the southeast coastal area, and writes about the tragic scene of the Japanese robbery.
Such a report from the Ming Morning Post suddenly caused an uproar in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area.
In the past, the common people knew less, and the common people in the north basically didn't know about the Japanese on the southeast coast.
Only the people in the southeastern coastal areas, the areas where they are deeply poisoned, know the cruelty of the Japanese and know that these Japanese are wolves in human skin.
Now the Ming Morning Post has poked out this matter, and suddenly the entire Beijing and Tianjin area knows about it, and now the Ming Morning Post is not only found in the Beijing and Tianjin area.
There are branches in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, but the news is not so fast, and it will be delayed for a few days, but it has almost spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.
As soon as the Ming Morning Post reported it, it also attracted great attention from the whole Ming Dynasty, especially the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, the emerging capitalists in the northern region, and the big landlords, gentlemen, and big families who invested in the Golden Continent fleet.
In a teahouse in the capital.
"Bang~"
A person angrily slapped the newspaper on the table, and then said: "The Japanese country is a small country, and it dares to repeatedly offend my great prestige, which is simply looking for death. ”
"It is unreasonable for the Japanese to plunder my Ming merchant ships, attack and kill the people along the coast of my Ming Dynasty, and also impose heavy taxes on my Ming merchant ships."
Someone said angrily.
"Do you still have my Ming in your eyes, I heard that they haven't come to my Ming Dynasty for many years to pay tribute~"
Someone else followed.
"The imperial court must send a large army to teach the Wa Kingdom a hard lesson, and it is best to let the Wa King personally come to my Daming to apologize~"
"What's the use of just apologizing, the key is to kill these robbers, really I am a good bully?"
"Last year, I killed the little prince's million-strong army, and it seems that this year I will take this robber and let them know that my big tomorrow is not so easy to offend~"
"Yes, support the development of the Japanese country, let them know the power of my Ming Dynasty, and protect my Ming people."
Up and down the entire teahouse, there was a voice shouting to start with the Japanese state.
The people who can come to the teahouse to drink tea are more or less people with some status and assets, many of them are emerging capitalists or have invested in major maritime trade firms, and the behavior of the Japanese state has seriously infringed on their interests, so naturally they are the most active in waging war with the Japanese state.
Tianjin.
"Okay~ I submitted it to the Ming Morning Post very early, and I wanted them to report on the Japanese on the side of the Japanese country, but I haven't reported it to me, and now I have finally reported it, and I have reported the faces of these Japanese invaders clearly."
"We Daming that they should be vassal states, but they don't have the consciousness of vassal states, and they dare to levy heavy taxes on our merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, last time, one of my ships could have transferred more than 200,000 taels of silver, but after being levied, they directly lost tens of thousands of taels of silver."
"When I came back, I met the Japanese again, and I almost lost everything."
"We have paid this tax, you can't even restrain your own widows, how can there be such a good thing in the world, we must use force against the widows and teach them a hard lesson."
When the boss of a commercial bank saw the Ming Morning Post, he immediately said happily to the people around him.
They have accumulated a lot of resentment against these Japanese criminals, and they even dared to impose heavy taxes, and this Japanese country has simply turned the world upside down.
"We must clean up the Japanese invaders, and at the same time we must sternly warn the Japanese state, otherwise it will be very dangerous for our ships to go to the Golden Continent after the beginning of spring."
"Those trading houses that go to Yuxi to open gold mines, your ships will also pass through the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom will be restless, and everyone's business and trade will be affected."
"Now it's up to the court to say what the court says."
"I have been to the Japanese country several times, the character of the Japanese people is the same as the wolf, if you treat him well, he will only think that you are a bully, and the only way to deal with the Japanese people is to use your fists, beat them hard, beat them obediently, beat them obediently, they will be as docile as dogs, otherwise they will grin at you."
"Our Ming Dynasty has always been their suzerain, and we have done our best to them, but this Japanese country is not so rare that it has repeatedly offended my great power, so we should teach them a hard lesson and let them know how powerful my Ming is."
"Yes, we must use force against the Japanese country, let them know that they are afraid, and they know that they are powerful~"
"All of us have mobilized our respective forces together, and we have made a statement to the imperial court and petitioned the Son of Heaven that we must use force against the Japanese State to protect the interests of our Ming Dynasty."
Tianjin is the place where the new capitalists are most concentrated, and it is also the place where the new ocean trade is most concentrated, and there are thousands of large and small ocean trading houses in Tianjin.
The heavy taxation of the Ming Dynasty in various parts of the Wa State is definitely a serious infringement of their interests, so these people are all shouting that they want to use force against the Wa State, and at the same time, they are also mobilizing their own forces, contacting the people behind them, and preparing to ask the imperial court and the Great Tomorrow to start a war against the Wa State.
The capital of the country.
The scholars of Guozijian have swords on their waists again, and the decoration of Confucian scholars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period has now become popular.
Not only is the person shouting in his mouth, but he also has a sword on his waist, which is less of a scholar's weakness and more masculinity.
Last year, the Ming Dynasty defeated the little prince of the grassland, and all the millions of the little prince's army were killed, which also greatly increased the self-confidence of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
For the young people of Daming, that is even more so.
Since ancient times, the great victories achieved by a country and a nation in the face of foreign countries can greatly enhance a nation's self-confidence.
Similarly, for young people, belligerence can be heightened.
"Bang~"
"How can this be reasonable, my Ming is the suzerain, and the Wa State is a vassal state, and the Wa State actually levied heavy taxes on my Ming merchant ships, and repeatedly offended my Ming Dynasty and killed my Ming people."
Seeing the latest Ming Morning Post, the scholars of Guozijian exploded, and they were all extremely angry.
"We must use force against the Japanese country, and let them know that those who commit my strong men will be punished even if they are far away~"
Some scholars shouted such slogans.
"Yes, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away~"
Then it immediately became the only voice in the entire Guozi Prison, and a large number of scholars kept shouting slogans, and then they also waved the sword in their hands, as if they wanted to use the sword in their hands to kill a few Japanese from a long distance.
The scholars were very angry, some of them were talented and wrote poems expressing their anger, and some scholars gathered together, shouting that they were going to Donghuamen to petition, asking the Great Tomorrow to send troops to teach the Japanese a lesson and defend the prestige of the Great Tomorrow.
There were even some scholars who shouted that they wanted to give up their noble status as scholars and join the army, but they were soon persuaded by their parents, teachers, classmates, and the like.
Above the court.
Emperor Hongzhi's desk was full of notes from officials at all levels in the court, and the content of these notes was the same, that is, to ask the imperial court to use force against the Japanese state, clear out the Japanese invaders, teach the Japanese a lesson, protect the interests of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and protect the route to the Golden Continent.
At the same time, with the transmission of news, such a concert was like a snowflake, and soon almost filled the Qianqing Palace of Emperor Hongzhi.
Whether it is a military general, or a royal historian, a Hanlin, or a local dignitary, a feudal official, etc., everyone has surprisingly unanimous opinions on this matter.
That is, it is necessary to use force against the Japanese state, and it is necessary to clean up the Japanese of the Japanese state, teach the Japanese country a hard lesson, and let the Japanese country not collect the commercial tax of the Ming merchant ships.
"Xiao Jing, these swords all require the use of force against the Japanese State?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the old Gao Shu piled up on the desk, his face was full of smiles, he originally thought that the use of force against the Japanese State would be strongly opposed by the ministers, but now it seems that everyone not only did not object, but also expressed their support one by one, and many of the ministers were even more excited than the generals and nobles, and they were even more belligerent.
The song depicts the cruelty of the Japanese Invaders, tells the misery of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the hard work of crossing the sea to do business on the side of the Japanese State, and transporting good things to the Ming Dynasty for the Japanese people, the other party even has to levy heavy taxes, and even levies heavy taxes on the ships of the suzerain, and there are Japanese Kou to plunder the ships, which is simply unbearable, and must use force against the Japanese State.
There is no way, the generals and nobles were the first to invest in ocean trade, and they were the first to eat the cake, these ministers were all invested later, and many of them even just joined the ranks.
In particular, many Wenchen invested in the fleet to the Golden Continent this time, which almost crushed their lives, and if something happened to them, their money would be wasted.
"Yes, Your Majesty~"
Xiao Jing nodded solemnly and said.
"What do you think about this?"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, thought for a while and said to Xiao Jing beside him.
"Back to Your Majesty, Dongchang and Jinyiwei found out that the ministers of the court have basically invested in those ocean-going trading houses and invested in fleets of all sizes to the Golden Continent."
Xiao Jing thought about it and replied, his words also pointed to the most critical and core point, interests determine the ass, and the ass determines the head.
"I see~"
Emperor Hongzhi immediately laughed.
