After coming out of the 'door' and stepping on the war horse, under the impact of the cool breeze, Lin Feng's brain, which was disturbed by anger, slowly calmed down and began to think about this problem from a cold military and political perspective.

This news was so sudden, suddenly he was a little overwhelmed, although he came from later generations, and also played some strategy games such as the Age of Discovery, but games are games after all, he actually lacked understanding of the military power of contemporary European countries, and similarly, he lacked understanding of the political situation on the continent on the other side of the earth, and the only thing he remembered was: now these colonists from Europa have occupied many strongholds in Southeast Asia, controlling the sea lanes between the East and the West, relative to their own country, They have a very powerful navy, and their own Han navy, after leaving the coastal waters of China, is absolutely difficult to defeat them.

Even so, it is absolutely impossible to let this matter go. A few minutes ago, he had expressed his intention to go abroad to these maritime powers, and at the same time expounded his political views in harsh language, but a few minutes later, someone suddenly told him that his compatriots, to put it another way, the overseas Chinese in Luzon, had suddenly been slaughtered by a certain country.

And in the absence of war, without any reason or basis, they are killed as beasts like pigs and dogs.

From the point of view of this era, if Lin Feng pretends not to know, or like the Ming and Qing courts, he sends a cover up such as "the people of the Celestial Empire abandon the people who do not guard the pastoral mausoleum and die innocently", I believe that absolutely no one in China will jump out to accuse him, and there will even be people in the vast number of Shilin who will jump out to support and appreciate this idea, and he can proudly act as a prestige in the country, or recuperate, or send troops to Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang to sweep away the enemy, and then find a few shameless literati like Ji Xiaolan to tamper with the historical manuscript "Siku Quanshu" and the like. Then choose a good day to ascend the throne as an emperor, marry hundreds of beautiful 'women' and live a good life.

It's a brilliant idea. Lin Feng rode on the horse, persuaded himself over and over again, tried his best to calm down his anger, and he suddenly felt a little 'lost', because as far as he was concerned, he had always been a very rational person, and after so many years of bloody rain, he had demolished the Forbidden City in Beijing, slaughtered the city in Liaoyang, and once in Shanxi. Sex had buried tens of thousands of captives alive, and just last winter, he had coldly looked at the millions of hungry and cold cries on the border, and thousands of people had died at his hands, no matter from any point of view, he had no reason to be angry at this stranger who was thousands of miles away, alone on the sea, and innocent with no relatives with him, and besides, what right did he, a warlord and politician with bloody hands, have to be angry with compassion?!

But this time he was really angry, angry without any reason, before that, he was a very indifferent young man, indifferent to national affairs, he likes C games, likes 'sexy' hot girls, from college to now, he has always been respectful of those angry young people around him, and he has no sense of anger about the ups and downs after 1840 in his previous life, he sometimes even laughs at those guys who like to quarrel, they are all a hundred years old, and they are still arguing?! That's why he will be so detached after he comes to this era, no matter what he does, everything is based on his own interests, no matter what democratic progress, no matter what national future, the rise and fall of the country, it is all shit, people are only a few decades in this life, and they are a bunch of proteins when they die - who can tell the difference between Chinese protein and Japanese protein?!

But now he found that he still cared about these things, and he felt the power of the indoctrination education that began in the first grade of elementary school, and although he had tried to reject it and ridicule it in his heart, it was still ingrained in his heart.

It turns out that he is also an angry young man, but he hides it well.

"Phew-" Li Ergou snorted softly, couldn't help but stretch out his hand, grabbed the reins, and hugged his fists, "Lord!" …… Lord!! ……”

"Huh?!" Lin Feng woke up in shock, looked up blankly and said, "What's wrong?!" ”

"Ahem...... Cough! Li Ergou was a little embarrassed and whispered, "The 'door' of the General Staff has arrived!" ”

Lin Feng waved his hand and jumped off the war horse, at this time, Zhou Peigong had already been notified, and Li Guangdi, who had already arrived, greeted him from a distance, and seeing Lin Feng's voice, all the officials knelt down and saluted.

The General Staff Headquarters is located in the west of Beijing, and this building was originally the palace of Prince Rui of the Qing court, and the location is relatively remote. In fact, at the beginning, the office location of the General Staff Department Ya 'Gate' was the original Qing Court's military department Ya 'Gate', and later because of the dismantling of the Forbidden City, Zhou Pei's public interface was too noisy, so he led people to move to the west of the city, removed the sign of the original palace, and then hung up the signboard of the Ya 'Gate' even if it was completed. It was easy to move to such a small place in a wide courtyard, but most of the veteran officers understood the profound political implications.

Now in the political system of the Han Empire, the General Staff, as a part of the state institutions, is the military center that sits with Li Guangdi's civil and official government, compared with the system of the previous dynasties, she is not subject to the control of the civil and official government, but is directly responsible to the Han king, so now Prime Minister Li Guangdi's political fǔ has all the ministries, but only the military department, and if the General Staff is still working at the former site of the original Qing court's military department, wouldn't it be a slap in the mouth?!

"Everyone, love Qing is exempt!" Lin Feng glanced at it, only to see that the 'door' was full of civil and military officials, all of whom were important ministers of various ministries and 'gates', just now Lin Feng was angry and did not 'handover' the generation clearly, and the 'attendant' from the military attache Colonel Li Ergou heard the words "there will be a war in the imperial court", and said that the matter was very urgent in panic, Li Guangdi, Zhou Peigong and others did not know why, and thought that there was a big war in which direction, so they summoned the officials in Beijing on the scale of the court meeting. Seeing Li Guangdi and Zhou Peigong's suspicious 'confused' eyes, Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, you guys disperse," and pointed with his backhand, "Jin Qing, Peigong, Ji Yun, you three come in and talk to me!" ”

Walking into the inner hall, Lin Feng turned his head and said to Li Ergou, "Go, be on guard outside, no one is allowed to enter or leave within twenty zhang!! ”

Li Guangdi and the others looked at each other, Zhou Peigong took a few steps forward, and asked tentatively, "Lord, what's the matter...... Why do you need to be so nervous!! ”

"Big deal!!" Lin Feng's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "The widow just got the news that more than 30,000 of our expatriates in Luzon were killed by the Spaniards!" ”

Li Guangdi was stunned and said, "Luzon?!! ......," he said blankly, "isn't that Luzon Island overseas?!" ”

"That's right, it's the island of Luzon deep overseas," Lin Feng nodded with a grim face, "At present, this big overseas island is governed by the Spaniards, and many of our people are begging for a living there!" ”

Zhou Peigong was stunned for a while, and then finally reacted, and said in disbelief, "Could it be ...... Don't...... This 'war' that the lord said was ...... Are we going to war with the Spaniards?! ”

"Yes, it's going to war with this Spain!!" Lin Feng said solemnly.

Li Guangdi's eyes widened, he looked at Lin Feng in a daze for a long time, turned his head, and saw that Zhou Peigong and Wang Shirong next to him also opened their mouths wide, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty, "Please forgive the lord!" …… Now that Shenzhou is not appeased, and the war is raging, our Han Dynasty is still unable to dominate the world...... This matter, this matter...... Seriously, that one is a little 'false'......"

Wang Shirong shook his head at a loss, his mind was blank at this time, although he also boasted of "seeing people" on weekdays, but he couldn't figure out what this so-called "Luzon Island" was, he stared at Lin Feng deadly, did the lord suddenly go crazy today?!

Lin Feng said expressionlessly, "Jin Qing, tell me, how much silver has our naval fleet paid?!" ”

Li Guangdi didn't think about it, and blurted out, "Since July of the previous year, as of now, General Shi Lang of the First Fleet of the Navy Division has paid 2.5 million taels of silver, and the second general has paid more than 1.7 million taels of silver to General Yang Haisheng!" He paused, "In addition, the various consortia of our Han Dynasty traded with Jiangnan, Korea, and Japan by sea, and there were no less than 10 million taels of gold and silver in the past. ”

"Oh?!" Lin Feng smiled, turned his head to Zhou Pei and said fairly, "Pei Gong, it stands to reason that the navy is also under the command of the General Staff, tell me, what other achievements does our navy have?!" ”

Since Lin Feng began to build the navy, the navy is not an independent service, but a vassal of the army, so in the minds of the officials of the Han Dynasty, this navy is no different from those inland water divisions, many people think that their existence is not only to make money, but also for the future to sweep Taiwan and the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and the personnel work of the Han Navy is managed by the General Staff, and the promotion and evaluation of officers at all levels must be signed by Zhou Pei to be effective. Therefore, although Zhou Peigong is not as concerned about the activities of this navy as he is about the army, he is still very concerned. Zhou Peigong thought for a while, "The lord forgives the sin, the naval activities are erratic, and it took a few months to send back a message, so the general staff department is not well aware, as far as the minister knows, General Shi Lang's headquarters have opened up ports in Tianjin, Lushun, Dalian, Qinhuangdao and other places in recent years, in addition to the Ryukyus, Hainan and other places to set up camps and villages, our naval division soldiers even went around to search for natives to reclaim land; In addition, General Yang Haisheng's headquarters was even more adrift in order to ...... In order to...... This ......" Suddenly, his face flushed, he lowered his head, and whispered, "...... With this 'arresting pirates' and raping 'people' as a business, a lot of ...... were confiscated Quite a few of these 'bandits' ......"

Lin Feng nodded, of course he knew these things, "Three Aiqing, now do you understand, how does this sea route trade help my Han Sheji?!" ”

Li Guangdi nodded and said in a deep voice, "With millions of dollars in the year, it is not an exaggeration to be the 'arm of the country'!" ”

"It's good that you understand," Lin Feng glanced at them, "That's why the widow deigned to 'deal' with those barbarian merchants - if nothing else, just for these commercial profits, if we Han can earn an extra silver or two on the trade road, then our people can pay one stone less in taxes, do you understand?!! ”

The three of them looked at each other and nodded affirmatively.

"But now that our sea route is threatened, the Spaniards didn't take the widow in their eyes at all this time, and killed 30,000 of our people without a word......" Lin Feng said in a gloomy voice, "This means that they don't care about our Chinese Celestial Empire at all, and they don't care about the lives of our Han people, today he can kill our people at will, tomorrow he can sink our merchant ships and rob our goods, if we are still indifferent, they may have to fight at our house and conquer the city like a Tartar, Murder and arson!! ”

Zhou Peigong was taken aback, he really didn't think so, the lord's words were really groundless, and he was really a little alarmist, and said with a wry smile at the moment, "Enlightened lord, you also said that Luzon Island is governed by Spanish barbarians, so these people who live overseas ...... The people, I'm afraid it's not our Chinese people, right?! Zi said: ......"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes and sneered, "The chief of staff is really generous, as far as anyone knows, these people are either Cantonese or Fujian, and this king also has a lot of villagers in it, so it turns out that it is not our Chinese?!! He narrowed his eyes and said with a dry smile, "Lord Zhou said so, isn't that the king of Fujian also not a Chinese people, it seems that this 'King of Han' I deserve it!" Do you think you should also abdicate and make way for Xian?! ……”

Zhou Peigong fart, his knees fell to the ground, and he said in horror, "Minister...... Minister...... The Lord forgives sins...... That's not what the minister meant......"

Lin Feng ignored him, turned his head to Li Guang and said, "Jin Qing, what do you say?!" ”

Li Guangdi glanced at Zhou Peigong, who was trembling all over, and couldn't help but have his eyelids jumping, and then nodded again and again, "Back to the lord, the barbarian Di regards my Celestial Empire as nothing, killing the people without permission, insulting our country's body, is it tolerable or unbearable!" He threw off his official robe, knelt on the ground, and said impassionedly, "The minister asks the lord to send troops to punish him severely!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!!" Wang Shirong also knelt on the ground and echoed.

"Hehe, get up!!" Lin Feng changed his expression, raised his hand and said, "Pei Gong also get up—what do you think?!" ”

Zhou Peigong stood up with palpitations, wiped the cold sweat on his head, and felt extremely remorseful in his heart, how could he not count the Taoist lord and Fujian people?!! He hurriedly said, "Please forgive your sins!" The minister was confused for a while, and the sage said: Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; The shore of the land, is not the king's minister, although this Luzon Island is suspended overseas, it is also the land of my Han Dynasty, and the people are also the people of my Han Dynasty, and they have forgotten the ancient precepts for a while, and the real sin deserves death, but fortunately the wisdom of the Lord Gongtian, who understands the righteousness and enlightenment, and the ministers understand the joint, and ...... here"

"Alright, alright!" Lin Feng waved his hand impatiently, "Do you think we should fight?!" ”

"Back to my lord!! Educating barbarians and exalting their prestige outside the country's 'gate' is the training of the saints, and it should be justified in all fights!! Zhou Peigong affirmed.

"Well, in fact, this year, we have a big war, the people are working hard and the treasury is empty, according to the king's will, it is better to recuperate and recuperate, and not to fight, but since several gentlemen have said that they want to fight, then this king can't help but listen to the advice and go his own way, it seems that this naval battle is still not going to work!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly at the moment, "The lord is as good as a stream, and he is really enlightened!" Subordinate to you! ”

"Well, since you want to fight, you have to figure out an equation carefully, and everyone will refer to it in detail!" Lin Feng smiled and said, "Peigong, do you understand naval warfare?!" ”

"This ......" Zhou Peigong was a little embarrassed, "I don't dare to deceive the lord, this naval battle is a battle, and the ministers are not very good!" ”

"Do you have anyone in your staff who understands naval warfare?!"

"Back to the lord, although the two generals Shi Lang and Yang Haisheng are not in the Beijing division at the moment, there are still a few officers in the naval division who are stationed in the ya'men of the general staff at this moment, thinking that the fleet is in contact with the Beijing division," Zhou Peigong bowed and said, "The minister thinks that it may be beneficial to ask them to come over for a consultation or two!" ”

Lin Feng nodded, "Okay, you call them over right away." ”
