"Your Majesty, great victory, great victory~"

Xiao Huangmen came panting, holding the good news that had just been sent from Tianjin.

Xiao Jing, who was beside Emperor Hongzhi, didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went over to take it and respectfully handed it to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi picked up the good news and glanced at it quickly, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, okay, Zhang Mao and Liu Jin are doing a good job here in Nanyang."

Emperor Hongzhi was so happy, this good news was a joint good news played by Zhang Mao, Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, and Yang Yun, and the Ming army's war in Nanyang Malacca and Siam was clear in detail.

Almost effortlessly, he easily agreed to Malacca and Siam, forcing them to cede land and pay compensation, Malacca compensated Daming 17 million taels of silver, Siam compensated Daming 50 million taels of silver, and if the interest is included, a total of 100 million taels of silver will be compensated.

Coupled with the cession of land, so that the Ming Dynasty in the Malay Peninsula, in the throat of the South Seas has a land, with this land, the Ming can govern Siam, Burma, Cambodia, under the power of Jinzhou, Java, Bo Ni, the east can also echo with the Nanyang Province, the entire Nanyang has also completely fallen into the control of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's still Liu Jin who is comfortable doing things, and he gets the biggest report with the least effort, and with a lot of silver, the navy's military expenses don't have to worry."

Emperor Hongzhi's heart really blossomed, or Liu Jin would make money.

Not only can do business, but the wars between countries in the past were all loss-making transactions, called reckless military force, but it was different when it came to Liu Jin.

Every war obtains the greatest benefits at the minimum cost, and the land is ceded and the compensation is paid, and every time the Hongzhi Emperor's pockets become bulging in an instant.

Now it's time to worry about the money in the inner pocket, there is too much silver, and I don't know how to spend it.

However, Emperor Hongzhi now has a stupid way, that is, to deposit it in the first bank of the Ming Dynasty, just to simply eat interest, and Emperor Hongzhi feels very satisfied.

"Let's take a look~"

After reading it, Emperor Hongzhi also took the good news to Xiao Jing and signaled him to pass it on to all the ministers.

Liu Jian, the first assistant to the cabinet, was the first to read it, and he also read it at a glance, and the whole person couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.

"This Liu Jin is really a goose plucking, as long as the place he has been to is even if it is a mosquito leg, he will shave out a trace of meat, and the small country here in Malacca has forced it to sign such an agreement to compensate Daming with 17 million taels of silver."

"How much silver does a small country have?"

"Sven swept the floor, and the image of Daming's century-old business was also gone."

"But this is indeed a lot of benefits for our Daming, with silver to do things, Malacca is a strategic place, get Malacca, my Daming will control this throat place."

Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, such an agreement can only be thought of by Liu Jin, if these people go, most of them will be reprimanded, and then let them apologize verbally to Daming.

After all, for these traditional Confucians, face is more important than everything, and the face of the Ming Dynasty is even more so, and the rest is not important.

Everyone took turns to read the good news one by one, and suddenly they couldn't help but widen their eyes one by one.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty~"

Then everyone soon congratulated Emperor Hongzhi in unison.

In any case, this is a victory, and the great victory not only taught Malacca and Siam a hard lesson, but also gained a new piece of land.

Of course, what is more important is the huge war reparations obtained.

What is the concept of war reparations of hundreds of millions of taels of silver, calculated with principal and interest?

This means that almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty can get almost one or two silver compensation from this war, such a huge fortune, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty is rich overnight.

You must know that in the past, the tax silver of the Ming treasury was only less than four million taels of silver a year, and now it has received such a huge amount of compensation at once, hundreds of millions of taels of white clouds, although it has been paid off over many years, but it is enough for Daming to continue to obtain huge wealth.

In addition to land and gold and silver, Daming's action in Nanyang this time also greatly shocked the Nanyang countries.

Even Siam, the most powerful city in the southeast peninsula, was crushed by the Ming army, and a small country like Malacca surrendered directly under artillery fire.

Annan and Zhancheng were directly destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and became the two provinces of Jiaozhi and Xianglin of the Ming Dynasty, and in the face of such a powerful Ming Dynasty, the Nanyang countries in the entire Nanyang region finally felt the terrible wrath of the thunder.

The strength of the Ming Dynasty really made the Nanyang countries feel that in recent months, the countries that had originally levied heavy taxes on the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty have converged, for fear of being attacked by the Ming army because of the problem of taxation.

As for those pirates, thieves, and so on in the Nanyang region, they disappeared and disappeared, and they didn't dare to touch the sword of the Ming army at this time.

"Haha~"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard everyone's congratulations, he couldn't help but laugh happily.

Well, Liu Jin is right, putting aside the so-called face and talking about interests in the outside world, this is comfortable to do.

If you tell them about the feelings of the suzerainty and the vassal state as before, they will treat you as the wrongdoer, and think that although you are big, you are a false appearance, and you are strong in the outside.

Now, if you throw away all those empty things and only talk about interests, only talk about practical interests, everything will be very comfortable.

Isn't it fragrant with the silver of this reparation?

Or is it not fertile to pay attention to the land?

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty~"

"Your Majesty is eloquent, Wenzhi and martial arts, the three emperors, the five emperors of virtue, even if it is the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Song Ancestors are far inferior to Your Majesty......"

A minister stood up and slapped Emperor Hongzhi's ass, so that Emperor Hongzhi's old face couldn't help but blush slightly, but he enjoyed this feeling very much.

People, in fact, are all the same, even if it is the emperor, he is inevitably like this.

When the emperor also hopes that he can be compared with the emperor in history, and now there are ministers who compare Emperor Hongzhi with Emperor Qin and Emperor Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Zulai, which makes him also enjoy it very much.

Of course, although there is an element of sycophancy in this, just from the current territory of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that Emperor Hongzhi's merits are really not much worse than these emperors.

At least, the current Ming Dynasty, it is no longer the Ming in the traditional sense, it has stepped out of the original trajectory, towards a new era to develop, the territory continues to expand, and the area under its jurisdiction is getting bigger and bigger.

The current Ming army is not worse than the strong army in history, and the successive battles in the past few years have been a big victory every time, and their own losses are minimal, but they can always get rich returns.

So this sycophant is not too much.

"Haha, this is all the blessing of the ancestors, my Ming monarch and ministers are of the same heart, and the subjects of the upper and lower are the result of working together, I dare not take the credit, this credit belongs to all our subjects."

Emperor Hongzhi's old face was slightly red, and he said very modestly.

This is all an old saying, what is the credit, it is all the blessing of the ancestors, the efforts of the courtiers, and the hard work of the people of the Ming Dynasty, he has no credit for being the emperor, the emperors of all dynasties are like this, this is modesty.

"Spread my will, send this great victory to all parts of the Ming Dynasty in the form of a report, and my Ming Dynasty should celebrate the whole country."

"Yes~"

When the ministers heard this, they immediately nodded hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, this newly acquired land on the Malay Peninsula, Liu Jin suggested that a new province be established separately, and it was also suggested that another city should be built here in Malacca~"

"This official aspect may not be enough, and I ask Your Majesty to issue another order to raise people from all over the country, and send these people to the Nanyang provinces as officials, so as to consolidate the frontier of our Ming Dynasty."

The official Shangshu Wang Wei couldn't help but have a headache, he had just finished discussing the matter of Xianglin and Jiaozhi here, you are good here, and you will get a new province for me, now it's okay, it's time to live again.

"I'll leave this matter to Wang Aiqing, you can handle it."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded in agreement, he was really in a very good mood now.

Forget about opening up the territory and expanding the territory, the key is that the silver is still not spent, and a steady stream of silver flows into the Ming Dynasty, from Annam to Champang, and then to Malacca and Siam, the losses of the Ming army are almost negligible, but they have obtained huge fruits of war.

This gave him a real taste of the sweetness.

"The world is very big, this is just the Nanyang countries, Liu Jin and Zhang Mao will definitely not come back for a while, and there are some Nanyang countries that have not been cleaned up, when the time comes, these Nanyang countries will be combed hard, and this silver can also be pulled back for tens of millions of silver casually."

"The key is that there will be reparations back to Daming every year in the future, and there is no need to worry about this military expenditure."

"Well, we must continue to expand the navy, continue to expand the army, how big is the world, how many countries are there, and I am afraid that there will be no silver in the future?"

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi was very happy, there is no need to worry about the silver, this day is really cool.

Think about it, what kind of life did you live before, you were very aggrieved.

Saving money and frugality, the palace was reluctant to repair, and wanted to do something, and the minister immediately gave back everything he had without a word of silver.

"After fighting the Nanyang countries, the next step is to clean up the Western Regions."

Soon, Emperor Hongzhi looked at the huge world map, and his eyes were also on the land of the Western Regions.

"It is not difficult to fight the Western Regions, the key is how to govern the Western Regions in the future."

"The population is too small, and they are not willing to move out, this is a big problem, there is no way to rule these places firmly without people, there are too many places to immigrate."
