Chapter 537: The desire to survive is very strong
The ministers who were about to sneeze the emperor just now suddenly closed their mouths.
Spraying the emperor is definitely going to spray the emperor, but how to spray is a big science.
First of all, you have to find an invincible position to spray, in fact, you have to spray at the right time and on the right occasion.
Otherwise, the problem of spraying the emperor is not big, but the problem of the dog's life is very big, and since the lord on the dragon chair has ascended the throne, he has cut down the civil and military ministers who don't know how many, and if he sprays it casually, his life will be in danger.
Especially when the hearts of the people are scattered and there are a large number of traitors in the ranks, this situation becomes more and more obvious.
For example, Xu Hongji, this old thing didn't count sending his son to the new army, and he took the lead in stabbing the big guy just now.
With this old thing taking the lead, it is conceivable that those in the court who can't see the hope of making money and think about how the guys who make a good impression in front of Emperor Chongzhen will choose.
What's more, now that the good news is coming, at this time, there is a wave of anger at the emperor, except for angering the man who is still smiling and pretending to be paralyzed, there is no other hope at all.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't think about it so much at all, just patiently waited for the messenger to enter the palace.
The messenger with a red feather on the hat and a lot of bullet eyes on his armor reminded Emperor Chongzhen of Brother Xiao Ma - if it is a bullet eye, can you still hold on to report the news? Can you still stand in front of yourself like this?
The messenger who passed through the queue of civil and military ministers came to the front of the imperial stairs and knelt on one knee and reported aloud: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is blessed, the soldiers use their lives, and the whole territory of Daryukyu is calm!" The Honanfrrang people were defeated and Doroman, and the southern admiral had already led an army in pursuit! ”
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand, signaled the messenger to stand up from the ground, and he also stood up from the dragon chair, pacing: "It is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to sell the name of the overlord!"
Passed the decree and ordered Nan Juyi to supervise the East China Sea Fleet and pursue the fleet of the Franco. I said that if the Francois slaughtered 300,000 people of the Ming Dynasty, I will slaughter him 3 million! ”
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, some people in the court began to be unhappy.
Everyone knows that your old man is murderous, and he slaughters and slaughters at every turn, but can you think about the actual situation?
Million!
Not to mention whether the barbarians have three million, even if there are, do you have to slaughter them cleanly?
Even if it is a reciprocal retaliation, it will be almost enough to slaughter him 300,000, and how good is it to bring the remaining 2.7 million back as coolies?
Different from several other books, the books of the Ministry of Communications of Nanjing and the Ministry of Railways of Nanjing are of the same mind as the books of the capital.
It is impossible for Hong Chengchou to accept that the Shangshu of the Ministry of Railways in Nanjing is not of the same mind as himself - it has slowed down the progress of railway construction, and the emperor will definitely slap the board on himself.
The same is true of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Communications in Nanjing, even the good old man Zhang Ruitu knows the stakes.
It doesn't matter if you are greedy, Your Majesty won't care too much, but if you don't do what Your Majesty explains, it will become a fatal matter.
At present, Emperor Chongzhen is a barbarian who slaughters three million as soon as he opens his mouth, and if the Shangshu of the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Communications in Nanjing can be heard, it will really be a ghost.
Fu Yunquan, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Railways, took the lead and bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister risked death to ask Your Majesty to take back his order."
The Dutch Francophile and the Luzon Francophile were not originally the same country, and the people who slaughtered the people of Luzon were the Luzon Francophiles, not the Dutch Francophiles, and it was unfair to slaughter their three million.
Moreover, my Ming Dynasty is now overbuilding the railway, it is the opportunity to use people, and the Honanfrrang machine people use it to atone for their sins, which is much better than killing. Your Majesty, please think twice. ”
Yu Yixin, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Communications, also said: "The minister seconded the proposal. Due to the lack of manpower, dozens of straight roads in my Ming Dynasty have not been built for a long time, only the straight road from Beijing to Nanzhili, and the straight road from Nanzhili to Gaozhou Mansion is still under construction, and the rest have not been allowed to start construction for a long time.
For the sake of my Ming dynasty, please think twice. ”
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Yu Yixin and Fu Yunquan with a bewildered expression.
Originally, I thought that it would be Nanjing's cabinet chief assistant Xu Yushan who jumped out first to vote against, but I didn't think that these two guys jumped out first.
If Xu Yushan jumped out first to indicate that the soldier was ominous or that the killing of prisoners was ominous, Emperor Chongzhen, who had already read the classics such as "Analects", "Mencius", "Han Feizi", "Laozi", etc., had 100,000 confidence to the old man doubting life.
But Fu Yunquan and Yu Yixin jumped out differently - because what they said made sense.
I don't mention to you that it is ominous to kill prisoners, nor do I talk to you about any righteous wars and unrighteous wars, but first tell you euphemistically that this Francophile and Luzon's Franco-mechanic are not the same country, and then tell you the reality that the Ming Dynasty is still short of coolies.
You weigh it yourself, anyway, please think twice, if you are really willful, you have to slaughter three million, then we have nothing to say.
After being stunned for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "That's it, since the people of Honan Franco have slaughtered my Ming people, these three million have nothing to do with them."
Spread the decree to the south of the country, the Honan-Franco-machine barbarians did not respect the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, provoked the border, and destroyed the country, regardless of whether the country was noble or low, and the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Communications were assigned as slaves. ”
In the past, the people of the Celestial Dynasty all belonged to eating grapes, spitting out meat and eating skin, and if they wanted to save face, it would be over.
But in Emperor Chongzhen, it was different.
How did the eagle sauce of later generations be made? What did the Wall Street elite do?
Eat grapes and spit out grape skins!
Emperor Chongzhen, who finally crossed over, decided to eat grapes without spitting out the skin of grapes, and also ate meat, and did not let go of the skin.
As for the question of the Holland and Spain involving expeditions, can this be called a problem?
The Ming Navy, which was already able to play the Great Voyage more than two hundred years ago, used to worry about the expedition?
Then Emperor Chongzhen, who had deviated from his thinking, suddenly thought of another question - why did the Ming Dynasty not attach importance to the development of maritime power and did not vigorously develop the Great Navigation?
Theoretically speaking, according to Zhu Laosi's Pixiu temperament, if the benefits of the sea are great, it is impossible not to take a bite but let it go gently, but the sailor of the Ming Dynasty seems to have stopped after a few waves of waves at sea?
Through this Nanju Yi's death of the Dutch entrenched in Taiwan, Emperor Chongzhen felt as if he had discovered something.
Zheng He took the Daming Sailor to wave on the sea, and then found that there was no one who could fight on the entire sea, all of them were scumbags of war, and they were all poor barbarians in the poor countryside.
Not interested.
This is the reason why Da Ming did not play sea hegemony later - Lao Tzu himself is the boss, who is he fighting with?
Could it be that the lucky ships should be built two at a time, and one should sink the other?
The rest of the story was more fucked, the rise of the Tatars, the rise of the Jiannu, it was a bit unexpected.
These two are both on land in the north, and they have nothing to do with the sea, so it is naturally impossible for the imperial court to vigorously develop the navy.
When the Dutch trembled and wanted to set up a stick and wave the flag in Taiwan, the Ming court, which wanted to build up the navy again, found that there was no money.
Of course, the Ming court, which had no money, was still angry with the Dutch by Nan Juyi in the second year of the Apocalypse, but it was dragged by Jiannu, and the imperial court, which had no money to fight, naturally could not come up with a big killing weapon like a lucky boat - the cost was too high, and the money to get a fleet was enough to summon another 400,000 younger brothers to fight Jiannu.
Yu Yixin and Fu Yunquan, who didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen's thinking had gone astray, were about to thank him, but they heard Emperor Chongzhen suddenly speak again: "I have my own Henan Mansion in the Ming Dynasty, how can a barbarian be a vain claim to be Henan?" renamed the Netherlands. After the destruction of the country, the vassal king was chosen to defend it. ”
That's fine, right?
The matter of coolies is solved, and the title of Henan, which makes Emperor Chongzhen awkward, is also solved, what is left?
Emperor Chongzhen, who hadn't figured out anything after thinking about it for a long time, waved his hand and instructed Wang Chengen: "Take the messenger down to rest." ”
Who should be rewarded and how should be rewarded is a headache for the Nanjing Military Government, and it is naturally impossible to take it to the court meeting, unless it is to completely destroy the two countries of the Netherlands and Spain, and make a contribution to the destruction of the country, it is possible to discuss it at the court meeting.
But there is no need to discuss this issue at the moment.
After the messenger went down, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "How to reward the East China Sea Fleet, I want to see the opinion of the military government and report to me as soon as possible." ”
After Xu Hongji responded, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The rest are the Franco-machine barbarians over there in Luzon, right?" ”
Xu Hongji bowed and said: "Your Majesty, except for the last time Zheng Zhilong dedicated to His Majesty a Franc battleship, there is no good news yet. ”
Emperor Chongzhen hummed and signaled that he already knew, so he no longer cared about this issue.
As far as the scum of Spain is concerned, the most awesome warship is nothing more than a three-masted fleet bought from the Dutch, and there is only one consequence of fighting with the lucky ships, that is, sinking into the sea to feed the fish.
As for war on land, then there is no problem even more.
Although the southern army of the Northern and Southern Imperial Forest Army, which was built with reference to the new army and the Beijing camp, had no experience in actual combat, and the real battlefield was only to follow the army to Liaodong for an armed parade, but to say that these guys still have to be transferred to the south and these guards will lose, this is simply a fantasy.
At least in terms of guns and artillery, the equipment in the hands of these guys completely crushed the Spaniards without any doubt.
After ten years on the throne, he threw nearly 10,000 miles of silver into the Royal Academy, and it was for nothing? The Mo family and other wild cattle all eat dry rice?
An extra meter of range is enough to decide the outcome of a war, not to mention more than one meter.
Emperor Chongzhen, who had put it down, turned his head back to the question just now: "Now let's continue with what happened just now."
I want to reset the reserve warehouse set up by Emperor Taizu Gao, and stand in the four towns and the city, what do you think of Aiqing? ”
Zhang Guichang, the secretary of the household department, immediately bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees." It's just that now the food is not enough to spread across the country, so please choose a place to do it. ”
This is like a word, think more about the country, will the Ming Dynasty still lose you? Didn't I already give you a raise?
Do things well, you can always be promoted and raised, serve as a scholar, become the first assistant, and marry the eighteenth concubine.
It's just that what Zhang Guichang said also makes sense.
Since his ascension to the throne, most of the silver obtained from the raid has been exchanged for grain, and even a lot of the silver that sells Fushou paste in the inner treasury has been exchanged for grain and then helped the people affected by the disaster in the Ming Dynasty.
Fuck it, even if the sweet potato thing has been rolled out in Shaanxi, it is still a bird-like - with the current traffic conditions, when the sweet potato is spread to the entire Ming Dynasty, at least there is no hope before Chongzhen's fifteenth year.
And this is Daming, not Mites.
The mite clearing started with only 60 million people, of course, this is the number that people killed by mite clearing, which has to be convinced.
Then there are sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes and other good things are spread out and planted.
However, as early as the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the population had already exceeded 10,000,000, and by the time he ascended the throne, it was estimated that it would have to reach 160 million, and it was normal to reach 200 million at the moment.
Without hybrid rice, to feed 200 million people?
If it weren't for throwing a large number of people to Xinming Island and Liaodong and Nuergandusi, the current food would be even more damn insufficient!
And a very fucked-up problem is that some of the people of the Ming Dynasty who were raised by the imperial court can't find the north?
Xinming Island, no one wants to go; In Java and Majapahit, no one wants to go, even if they go to the tax exemption for three years to give farming tools to plough cattle, the land is allocated a hundred and ten acres at every turn.
Xinming Island, Java and Majapahit are too far away from Daming, and they have to take the sea route, so it is normal to be reluctant to go, after all, if you go to it, you may die or never have a chance to come back in your life.
But what about Liaodong and Nuergandusi? It's all on land, and it's still in the territory of Daming, just because it's a little farther, and no one wants to go!
It wasn't until the news of a gold mine in Liaodong and the fact that the imperial court began to issue concubines that some people were willing to go......
It's all a stinky problem - if this is an emperor who changes his face, and sells Fushou paste without playing with his life, where did he get so much silver to buy food to feed the people.
are all hungry, can't eat enough and can't die, and then say that going to Liaodong to give land is tax-free, it is estimated that the people who go are much more active than now.
Emperor Chongzhen, who secretly hated himself for playing too far at the beginning, so much so that he had been pitted by himself, was entangled for a long time before he spoke: "Let's try it in the land of Shaanxi." ”
After Zhang Guichang bowed down, Xu Yushan, who was the leader of the civil ministers, also bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is a great benefit to the world, it is a benevolent government, and the ministers please announce it to the world, so that all the people will know." ”
Xu Yushan's words seemed to open the seals on the mouths of other ministers in the court, and after echoing Emperor Chongzhen, he said that he should announce it to the world, so that the people would know that Emperor Chongzhen was a good son.
The good news of the East China Sea Fleet came in time, and fools know how to choose at this time.
After all, the big guys have a strong desire to survive, don't they?
Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a good mood, simply went out of the palace after the court meeting.
Waves, you must get waves, it is impossible not to wave, how can you do when the emperor does not pay a private visit?
