The searchlight shone on, "Hit, hit, hit this!" "The soldiers of the Southeastern Army shouted, bombarded directly with shotguns, and shot and dropped bombs when they got closer, and the Acehnese could not get close at all.

They struggled in the sea, unable to shoot bows and arrows and spears at the southeast ship, and were discouraged to see that the other ship's big ship was like a black beast, not moving!

The boats were destroyed one by one, and the Acehnese who went to attack were either dead or fleeing, unable to do anything.

Through the use of various means, it was difficult for the Acehnese to succeed in night attacks, and the southeast ships were even used at sea

Compared to the aristocracy, the resistance of ordinary Acehnese people rose and fell, but it did not damage the skin of the Southeastern Army and Johoreans.

In 1639, the year of the death of Aceh, not only the small people, but also the army, and even the high-ranking Sutan could not save his life.

The number of dead people is so great that it is difficult to count,

The Southeastern Army was smiling, their plan was unfolding, and everything was under control.

Defeated Aceh, the loss is not large.

At present, the Southeast Fleet is on duty and escorting ships in the Strait of Malacca, and most of its merchant ships call at Johor.

"Our army has not occupied the coastal cities of the Straits of Malacca for the time being, and Johor is an alliance with us and has leased the seaport for us to use." In the Prime Minister's Office, Premier Chen Xinji and his acquaintance, Wang Zhidong, a sea businessman, enjoyed tea together.

Wherever the army hits, the caravan will go, and Wang Zhidong, as the king of shipping, is ready to send a liner to the Indian Ocean!

That is, regular sailing, so he consulted with Chen Xinji and asked for official support.

Relying on his old acquaintance, he asked directly: "Why don't we capture Aceh and get the support point of the Strait of Malacca?" ”

The Strait of Malacca is very important, and Aceh is the top priority, as long as you control Aceh, not only to gain control of the Strait of Malacca, but also to control the surrounding waters, you can keep out the foreign Hongmaofan and West Asians!

Not to mention that the South China Sea has become an inner lake for the Chinese, even Southeast Asia has become the mainland of the Chinese!

Seeing him ask, Chen Xinji said for a while: "Don't be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, the people of Aceh still have fire, wait until they get angry!" ”

"If people lose land, people and land will survive; If you lose your land, you will lose your land, and you will do what the leader instructs! He said.

"Our leader, what a man of heaven!" Wang Zhidong complimented: "Everything that is said is true, the army is victorious, and the people are rich!" ”

"Not bad!" Chen Xinji looked at him steadily, pointed at him, and changed the topic: "Don't use the Donglin Party in our Southeast Mansion!" ”

Wang Zhidong's heart jumped, and he said sarcastically: "How can there be! ”

The Donglin Party, mostly from the southeast, was sponsored by the local gentry and merchant class, and was subsidized when they studied, and the academy where they studied was a public welfare institution, and the operating funds were all dependent on the local wealthy.

When the Donglin Party people passed the examination and became officials, everyone knew that Lao Zhu, the boss of the Ming Dynasty, was mean by nature, deducted employees, and did not give much wages, so that the officials could not live a decent life.

If the Donglin Party is not greedy or robbed, it will not even be enough for living expenses, let alone eat chickens and play chickens to live a romantic life.

But they are clean officials, and they can't be corrupt.

At this time, the gentry and merchant class in the official area and the hometown area of their official area generously donated money to honor them in the name of "Tan Jing" and "Bing Jing", and the money was legal and compliant.

With a soft hand, the Donglin Party is worthy of being a scholar, has a temperament, speaks for the people of his hometown, and resolutely thwarts the bad motive of the old Zhu family who wants to raise taxes!

Crafts can't be taxed!

Business can't be taxed!

No taxes can be added to maritime trade!

Mines can't raise taxes!

If the emperor wants money, he will ask the peasants for it!

The royal relatives, officials, and wealthy merchants frantically annexed land, and they did not have to pay taxes, and the taxes paid by the small peasants became heavier and heavier, and when they were unbearable, they rebelled!

In today's southeast province, the land laid down is owned by Yan Changwu, and there are few people on the land, there is no annexation, and there is little contradiction with the peasants.

At present, the southeast government implements the "civil service system", which is called "every entry must be examined", and the examination of civil officials must have academic qualifications, which is the academic qualifications of the southeast government, which establishes the importance of obtaining a degree from the school run by the southeast government.

The rules for the appointment of civil servants have been relatively perfect, and on the basis of this system and rules, the examination system of some schools and the exemption system for college students to enter the examination have been changed. Unless directly authorized by the consuls, new officials must have certificates and qualifications----- all public schools are not accessible to businessmen.

The civil service system in the southeast province has been established, including the system of appointment, recall, and reward and punishment.

The problem is that the southeast government collects heavy taxes, at least 20% of the tax revenue, in addition to the 17 percent value-added tax, what else is the national defense construction tax, education tax, urban construction tax, etc., businessmen are used to the small taxes in the Ming Dynasty, and they complain very much about the taxes of the Dongdi Prefecture in private.

And there is a "price bureau" in the southeast province, and it is by no means a joke to determine the price, and the government of the southeast province is strong, and once the price is exceeded, the relevant personnel will be invited to the bureau to drink tea.

The Chinese have always been good at having policies and countermeasures, and they try to corrupt officials in order to ask for food, drink, money, women and further to sink the civil officials of the southeast province, speak for them, and become their agents.

Indeed, some officials have spoken out that corporate taxes are too heavy and are demanding tax cuts.

Chen Xinji is the prime minister, and all the expenditures go through his hands, so he doesn't know the importance of taxes!

As soon as the rumors of tax cuts became louder, he immediately instructed Qi Biaojia, who was in charge of anti-corruption, to go into action to investigate the corruption of the relevant personnel.

Now, Wang Zhidong's subsidiaries have been caught by him and bribed officials of the Ministry of Finance!

When he threw the evidence in front of Wang Zhidong, Wang Zhidong couldn't help sweating on his forehead.

He couldn't deny it, and forced a smile: "The people under him are too active!" ”

"I'll accumulate your M's P!" Chen Xinji roared angrily, and shouted loudly: "Dare to say that you don't know about these expenses, dare to say that you don't know, I, Chen, have your surname!" ”

He was born as a pirate, pretending to be Sven in front of people, and his essence was reckless, and he reprimanded: "I have been friends with you for so many years, I don't know what kind of person you are!" ”

"The leader is fighting in the front, but you are demolishing the stage in the rear, you want to die!" Chen Xinji's saliva squirted.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Zhidong said in a low voice: "I did it wrong!" ”

Chen Xinji stretched out his hand and opened his five fingers, and suddenly Wang Zhidong gasped and begged: "I can only use 300,000 silver dollars to expand production now!" ”

"Subscribe to 500,000 silver dollar government bonds, take you out, and others will be held accountable!" Chen Xinji snorted coldly.

"Okay!" Wang Zhidong was helpless.

After negotiating the deal, Chen Xinji leaned back in the chair and said: "This is Madame's instructions, Madame is benevolent, saying that it is not easy to start a large enterprise, to start a century-old enterprise, I hope everyone will make money, but don't think about crooked ways, let you go this time, not next time!" ”

He smiled and said: "Be careful, don't treat Mrs. as so simple, she gives you a chance, she is also raising pigs, pigs are fattened, easy to slaughter!" ”

"Thank you, Madam, thank you, Premier Chen! I don't dare anymore. Wang Zhidong thought that stealing chickens this time would not be a handful of rice, but fortunately, the southeast government is still kind, and the government bonds have always been strong and pay interest.

"Just concentrate on your business, and the merchant will make your money!" Chen Xinji admonished.

Wang Zhidong was lucky to escape, and soon after, the vigorous "rectification movement" in the southeast province began!
