Chapter 728: Punishment of the Manchus
After Zhu Ci returned to the palace, he immediately convened cabinet ministers to discuss whether to use troops against the Manchus.
"The Manchurian people are very ambitious, they just surrendered to my Daming, and called me a tribute to my Daming, but in private, they immediately sent spies to infiltrate my Daming, wanting to steal my Daming's advanced gun technology, and also hijacked Xiuxiu, the crime is extremely evil, and it cannot be tolerated, I want to use troops against it, what do you think of a few Aiqing!" Zhu Ci staggered.
Li Yan, Liu Zongzhou and a few others didn't seem to be surprised.
"What evidence does the emperor have to prove that it was done by the Manchurians?" Liu Zongzhou stepped forward and asked.
Liu Zongzhou, the corpse of the thief who was killed, also went to see it in person, on the surface, it looked no different from ordinary Han people, and they all spoke fluent Chinese, and there was no evidence at all to prove that they were Manchurian.
"Hmph, my words are evidence, I say yes!" Zhu Ci snorted coldly, showing his domineering.
Yes, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has a strategy of expanding the territory, and it took two years to destroy several countries in a row, not to mention that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was originally considered the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, although he surrendered on the surface and called the minister Nagong, but the clear-eyed people knew that it was the result of the Ming Dynasty's pressure, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty must not accept it, in this case, if he wanted to send troops to attack the Manchu Qing Dynasty, did he need any evidence? You can even find any reason.
Seeing Zhu Ci being so domineering, Liu Zongzhou and the others were speechless for a while.
Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou glanced at each other, and stepped forward together: "The two ministers agree with the emperor's use of troops against the Manchu Qing Dynasty and completely eradicate hidden dangers!" ”
If it is for other countries, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou may oppose it, but for the Manchu Qing, at any time, the two of them are in support of sending troops to destroy them, as they said to eradicate the hidden dangers, don't look at the Manchu surrender, called the ministers and tribute, the Ming Dynasty is extremely strong, they don't think that the Manchu Qing can still threaten the Ming Dynasty, but every day on the Jinluan Palace looking at the Manchu territory on the world map, they feel uncomfortable, like a long thorn, and to pull out this thorn, of course, it is best to completely destroy the Manchus, so at any time, as long as they say that the Manchus are usedThe two of them were the first to agree.
"The minister is against!" At this time, Li Yan stood up.
"Please think twice, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is located in the Middle East, more than 10,000 miles away from the Central Plains, the road is far away, it will be impossible to have enough materials for it to move the war of annihilation, the railway and cement road have not been repaired in that direction, and it will be destroyed at this moment, and the price is very great! Moreover, this is inconsistent with the long-term strategy formulated by the emperor to first the north and south, and then the east and west, and the emperor must not compromise the long-term strategy formulated for the sake of temporary anger! Li Yan's words had actually been thought about a long time ago.
As early as the day Chen Xiuxiu was rescued, he guessed that Zhu Ci would move, but he believed that Zhu Ci was not an impulsive person.
Sure enough, after Zhu Ci hesitated to listen to Li Yan's words, he fell into silence and thought.
"I can not use troops against the Manchus, but if they dare to do so, they have to be punished!" Zhu Ci thought for a while, and then said coldly.
Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou were immediately disappointed, if they didn't send troops to completely destroy the Manchus, they didn't have much interest in punishing them.
Instead, Li Yan immediately asked, "What kind of punishment does the emperor plan to make?" ”
"Twice the amount of the tribute!" Zhu Ci's eyes narrowed slightly, full of sharp colors.
Originally, the Manchus were forced to submit to the vassals, and the annual tribute was as much as one million taels of silver, and now it is doubled, which is three million taels, you know, even if the Manchus annexed the Persian Empire, the annual income is only more than 10 million taels of silver.
However, even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty is clearly forced to a dead end, Zhu Ciji is not worried that the Manchu Qing will compromise, if it is compromised, it will be enough, and obediently hand over a tribute of three million taels of silver every year.
Although the Ming Dynasty will not be able to transport so many materials to Xinjiang for a while and a half, it will not be able to attack the city on a large scale and completely destroy the Manchu Dynasty, but there are no cities in the grasslands such as Bulha in the northeast of the Manchu Dynasty, and as long as there are 60,000 iron cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, they can be unhindered, and Zhu Ci does not mind annexing these grasslands.
Zhu Cijiao can imagine that once the natural horse breeding land of the grasslands such as Braha is lost, in a few years, the Manchu Eight Banners will not be able to get enough war horses, and some Manchus will have to dismount to become infantry, and then I don't know if the Manchu Eight Banners can still be called the Manchu Eight Banners, and the power of the Manchu Qing will be completely weakened.
Zhu Ciji did plan to let the Manchus wreak havoc in the Middle East, and it was best to integrate the Middle East together, so that when the Ming Dynasty conquered that place in the future, he would lay some foundation for ruling that place, but although the Manchus were so ignorant, Zhu Ciji had to collect a little interest first.
"The Emperor Shengming!" Li Yan's heart sank, and he instantly saw the meaning of Zhu Ci's punishment, but he did not object, and also thought that the Manchus should have some punishment.
After the punishment of the Manchus was set, Zhu Ci hesitated to go to the Manchus with a team of guards to deliver the decree on the same day, and specially instructed the eunuchs who passed the decree to make a big show after entering the territory of the Manchu Dynasty, and it was best to let all the people under the Manchu rule know that deliberately let Dolgon and other Manchus not get off the stage.
Knowing that the eunuch and the guards had come out, Zhu Ci smiled solemnly, he wanted to see how Dolgon would choose!
Next, Zhu Ci has a bigger thing to do, there is no shortage of money, there is already news there, and the flood is about to be completed.
At the beginning, Zhu Ci told the plot, and there was no shortage of money to write in detail, but now more than a year has passed, and only the last two plots are compiled.
On December 15, only half a month away from the tenth year of ZTE, there was no shortage of money and finally completed the writing of the flood famine.
When Qian Buqian presented the entire book of the written Honghuang to Zhu Cijiao, Zhu Ciqian carefully read a part, in fact, Qian Buqian would submit it to Zhu Cijiao for reference every time he wrote a plot.
On the whole, this Honghuang book was well written, and it was within Zhu Ci's expectations.
At this moment, it is necessary to think of a way to make the flood shocked, since the flood is to support Taoism, promote the Taoist family, and let the ancient myths of the East penetrate deeper into the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty, then naturally it cannot appear so simply, let alone let people know that this is an ordinary person compiled, such a divine book must be descended from heaven to be the most able to accept and believe without any resistance to the people of the Ming Dynasty.
And the so-called way of falling from the sky, Zhu Ciji had already thought about it.
"Well done, I named you the Viscount of Jing County, attacked the third generation, and rewarded 200,000 yuan in silver!" Zhu Ci said that there was no shortage of rewards for money.
"Thank Emperor Longen!" There is no shortage of money, although he knew that there would be rewards, but he never thought that the emperor would directly give the viscounts, you know, even if the viscount is small, it is also a title, and it can attack the three generations of lords! Isn't it that the next three generations of his Qian family will not be bad, not to mention the reward of 200,000 silver dollars, this is simply the emperor's grace, I have to be excited!
"Get up! I also want you to remember that I didn't ask you to write this book, nor did you write it! When you go back, be sure to destroy all the original manuscripts, and if you leave one behind, or if anyone knows about it in the future, I will punish your nine clans! Zhu Ci said with murderous intent.
There is no shortage of money, and he was immediately frightened to the point that his hair stood on end, and he was drenched in cold sweat.
"Yes, Your Majesty! Obey the order! "There is no shortage of money, and he immediately received the order.
"Let's go down!" Zhu Ci waved his hand.
After leaving the palace, Qian did not lack a moment to rush home, and when he returned home, he immediately burned all the things about the flood in the house, even if he did not let go of the brush used to write the flood waste.
After all, this is about the lives of the nine clans of his Qian family! He had to be cautious, and the slightest remnant could not exist!
