Yan Song knew that this was the best time for him to show his loyalty to Emperor Zhu Zailei, and once the emperor thought that he was just Xia Yan's follower, he was afraid that he would never have the opportunity to become the first assistant of the cabinet.

Therefore, Yan Song stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter whether it is a colony or a vassal country, it is all my minister of the Ming Dynasty!" Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! It is already a great favor for the imperial court to take only half of its taxes, how can it still keep its own taxes;

The coastal colonies had been in the treasury since the reign of the Emperor, and the other distant vassal states were only allowed to remain independent only because they were too far away and the taxes were not enough to feed the imperial court.

Nowadays, the development of trade in various places is extremely fast, and it is no longer the embarrassment of previous years, and it is also the time to collect its money and grain into the treasury, so the minister supports Xu Gong's proposal. ”

Zhu Zailei smiled secretly, Yan Song didn't support Xia Yan, which made him feel relieved in his heart.

Because this made Zhu Zailei realize that the alliance between Xia Yan and Yan Song did not seem to be so strong, and the cabinet did not really say that Xia Yan would obey the order of Xia Yan alone, which would undoubtedly ensure that his imperial power was well protected.

Xia Yan's eyes were like sharp arrows to kill Yan Song, but Yan Song lowered his head and did not look at Xia Yan, because he knew that Xia Yan must be angry now, angry that he betrayed him.

Seeing Xia Yan so angry, Zhu Zailei was still a little happy in his heart, and his mood couldn't help but improve: "Since more people agree with Xu Qing's proposal, then this proposal will be passed, and it will also be revised according to Yan Aiqing's suggestion, and the colonies will still pay all customs duties into the national treasury, and then the imperial court will allocate them uniformly, and the vassal states will have to pay half of the tax amount to be deported to Beijing!" The governors of the coastal provinces and the local State Taxation Bureaus will strictly supervise the deportation of foreign customs duties into Beijing! ”

"The ministers obey the order", Yan Song and Xu Jie, etc., all replied.

And Zhu Zailei also announced his retirement from the dynasty, Zhu Houzhao exempted the world from the field tax, so that now he has to find a way to increase tax revenue, perhaps Zhu Houzhao himself did not expect that as soon as the eldest son of the emperor ascended the throne, he was eager to ask his younger brothers, nephews and other relatives and nobles for money.

Xia Yan stopped Yan Song: "Elder Yan Ge, please stay!" ”

Yan Song hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I don't know what Yuanfu has to say?" ”

"Yan Ge Lao is really a good boatman, this ability to steer the rudder in the wind is really unmatched! It's really shameless to call Xia! ”

Xia Yan brushed his sleeves away as he spoke.

Yan Song knew that his behavior at that time would definitely offend the cabinet chief, but he was even more reluctant to offend Emperor Zhu Zailei, so he would rather offend Xia Yan first, and now seeing that Xia Yan was angry, he could only confess again and again, and apologized grovelly:

"Yuanfu, don't misunderstand the lower officials, if the lower officials don't have the heart to Yuanfu, they will let these five thunders hit me! The lower official is doing this in the council office, and it is also for the sake of Yuanfu you!

Yuansuke, please think about it, now that Your Majesty is determined to strengthen your control over the colonies and vassal states, if I support you again and make the emperor's heart unsatisfactory, what will Your Majesty think, will you think that you want to be a powerful minister and regent of the world?! ”

Xia Yan couldn't help but stand still when he heard Yan Song say this, he didn't want to be said to be a powerful minister, nor did he want to become a powerful minister, nor did he want his original intention of supporting the emperor's eldest son Zhu Zailei as the crown prince to change, so Yan Song explained this at this time, and he couldn't refute it, but he did dislike Yan Song's behavior just now, which made him feel betrayed.

For a while, Xia Yan couldn't get angry, so he had to wave his sleeves: "Thank you for your kindness, Xia Mou is here to thank you!" The elder doesn't need to say much, they are all worried about the world, how dare Xia Yan have grievances! ”

After Xia Yan said this, he bowed his hand towards Yan Song.

Yan Song couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, but he still ran forward, smiling, and kept explaining his intentions.

Seeing this, Xia Yan looked down on Yan Song more and more, thinking that Yan Song might really just instinctively flatter, and couldn't help but sneer for a while.

Yan Song couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Xia Yan's expression softened slightly, and he was a little less vigilant and resentful towards himself, because he knew that although Xia Yan was the first assistant of the cabinet and seemed to be the courtier of the current emperor, he still had a lot of weight in the heart of the emperor, which also made Yan Song have to continue to curry favor with Xia Yan while starting to transfer the camp to the new emperor.

Zhu Houzhao has now learned that there are civil officials in the imperial court who are involved in the impeachment of himself for interfering in court affairs.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing: "These guys really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and they think that I have abdicated, so they really think that I am a toothless tiger and can't bite them?" ”

In fact, Zhu Houzhao has always been paying attention to no longer interfering in the government affairs, after all, he himself does not want to worry about the government affairs.

But now he has military power and has the right to speak in the military, and the involvement of the Japanese and the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee is naturally a military matter, and Zhu Houzhao can certainly manage it.

Moreover, Zhu Houzhao did not directly ask the emperor and the court what to do through his edict, he let the court make its own choice by giving advice to Zhu Kun.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Zhu Houzhao did not interfere in the government's politics.

Because of this, Zhu Houzhao can be regarded as having a clear conscience, for those civil officials who impeached him, the emperor, Zhu Houzhao was not polite, and directly ordered Jinyi Wei to investigate these civil officials, and if everything involved in corruption of ink was directly stabbed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Hai Rui, who was in charge of the Emperor's Ming Bao, and those involved in the Ming Bao were directly stabbed to the Beizhen Fusi for arrest.

Because of this, it didn't take long for the courtiers to only dare to criticize Zhu Kun, but they didn't dare to say that the emperor Zhu Houzhao was not.

Zhu Houzhao has been getting along with Zhu Kun these days, and he can see that the civil officials in Fujian and Zhejiang have created a lot of pressure on Zhu Kun in the court, so that Zhu Kun's brows are always locked.

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to persuade with good words: "Zhu Fuyuan, don't worry, the rights and wrongs in this are understood by the people of the world, and it is not necessarily a true gentleman who opposes you, what you are fighting is smuggling, what you are killing is the Japanese Kou, not prohibiting the people of Fujian and Zhejiang from doing business and profiting, these are all in my eyes." ”

"Emperor Xie is relieved! At this time, the minister can only have a Dan heart for the Ming Dynasty! It's just because of this that the minister realizes that the forces behind these Japanese robbers are really not simple, and the ministers are worried that these coastal warriors will continue to make waves, and even rise up bigger storms. ”

Zhu Kun couldn't help but say.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, he was also thinking about this, and now when he saw Zhu Kun mentioning it, he said:

"I also thought of this, I have come to Nanjing with the Fifth Army of the Guards of Wuchang, this is an army that pays attention to the level of individual combat and comprehensive combat ability of soldiers, and is equipped with the best and most comprehensive weapons, it is one of the most powerful mobile units that I have already prepared, I named it the Ming Special Forces, and my general Qi Jiguang is the commander of this army;

Now, I have put him in full charge of the coastal defense of the entire Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Liangguang, this army is only responsible for destroying the enemy and attacking, and you Zhu Kun is leading the local army in Fujian and Zhejiang to be responsible for defense and smashing the nest of the Japanese pirates at sea, and it is necessary to make sure that every town in the Ming Haijiang has a company of guards, and the southeast coast is arranged like an iron barrel. ”

"The ministers are all at the mercy of the emperor's arrangement!"

Zhu Kun only said yes.

The development of things was indeed as Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Kun expected, after Shuangyu Island was recovered by the Ming Dynasty and included in the government management system, it was equivalent to depriving the smuggling pirates and pirates in Southeast Asia of the opportunity to make a fortune.

It didn't take long for countless Japanese robbers to attack the southeastern sea frontier of the Ming Dynasty with the help of the coastal warriors.

In Shangyu County, Shaoxing Prefecture, a group of Japanese robbers landed on the shore, and went straight to the county seat, and cut down the people of Daming when they saw them along the way.

At this time, the people of Shangyu County, Ju Siyuan, were protecting their wives and children, holding a flat burden and confronting several of the Japanese in this gang of Japanese robbers: "You Japanese robbers, don't come here!" ”

Naturally, the Japanese wouldn't listen to this Ju Si Yuan, so they immediately slashed at Ju Si Yuan.

Another widow also threw himself at his wife, pushing her to the ground and about to commit violence.

Zou Mei, a big scholar in Shangyu County, watched all this through the crack in the door, and couldn't help laughing: "These Japanese robbers are finally here, and when these Japanese robbers kill Jiangnan in chaos, we will see if the imperial court will pay attention to the stability of Jiangnan." ”

Yes!

Ju Siyuan couldn't help screaming when he saw his hand being cut off, and he also realized that he couldn't fight these wouldn't be able to fight these wouldn't be able to fight, so he ran to the closed door of his neighbor Zou's house, knocked on the door and shouted, "Master Zou, help!" ”

Zou Mei did not respond.

At this time, a team of Guards special forces who were ordered to patrol everywhere appeared, and they shot the underside of the Japanese who was taking off their pants on the spot, causing the Japanese to cover his crotch and scream on the spot.

Seeing this, the other Japanese were furious, and seeing that the Ming army was not as numerous as their own, they rushed over with their swords, their expressions were very fierce.

Syllable!

Syllable!

Syllable!

The Ming army quickly pulled the trigger, and the rifled rifles accurately killed all the Japanese to the ground.

Zou Mei looked at all this incredulously: "When did these Ming troops appear, did the imperial court know that the southeast was going to be in turmoil, so it sent troops in advance?" ”

When Zou Mei was incredible, Deng Dong, the official gentleman who had already made a decision, also watched in astonishment as the three Ming soldiers ran after the twenty or so Japanese soldiers, and shot all these vicious twenty or so Japanese criminals.

What is even more frightening is that in Jiangning Town, when more than 40 Japanese robbers sneaked up here with the help of the local scholars, they were swept by five guards.

"The barrels of the guns on the entire runner kept spewing fire, and the bullets fired were like rain, and more than 40 Japanese robbers were all killed in a matter of moments! The Japanese are fierce, but they are not defeated by the elite of the court! ”

Ma Yinghong, an official gentleman who witnessed all this, couldn't help but write down what he had seen, but when he wrote down this experience, he was unwilling.

In Nanjing City at this time, Gao Qi, the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, had already received a secret report at this time.

"Master, all the Japanese in the direction of Shaoxing were exterminated by the official army in three days! There were zero casualties among the officers and soldiers, and only 14 casualties among the people! ”

"Master, the Japanese in the direction of Jixi were all wiped out by the official army in half a day! There were zero casualties among the officers and soldiers, and only six casualties among the people! ”

"Master, as soon as the Japanese in the direction of Jiangning arrived in Jiangning Town, they were completely annihilated, and I heard that it was the people of the Fifth Army who prepared machine guns earlier!"

Gao Qi couldn't help but slap the table after listening to the report of his cronies: "Didn't Captain Xu say that the Japanese robbers he sent were all brave men with one enemy and ten enemies, why did they repeatedly lose to the officers and soldiers?!" ”

"This, as far as I know, this time the official army has prepared in advance, and we have all ignored that the weapons of the official army of the imperial court are no longer the ordinary firearms and broadswords and spears of decades ago, and the firearms of the official army today have long been unable to take advantage of even the cavalry! It is said that among these raiders, dozens of them were chased and killed by one or two officers and soldiers. ”

This Gauci cronies said.

After hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and immediately sighed: "Alas! Has the world really changed?! ”

Zhu Houzhao also got a report from Zhu Kun here, and learned the news that the Japanese invasion was completely wiped out within three days.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but nod and said: "Very good, there was no big rebellion at the beginning!" But I can't let the Japanese invaders provoke the majesty of our Celestial Empire so unscrupulously, and pass on my edict to the current emperor Zhu Zailei, telling him that his father, the emperor, is I, want to get all the Japanese women of the Japanese Kingdom, and use the Japanese Kingdom as my retirement home, so I want him to send troops to kill the Japanese Kingdom within three years and learn that there are still Japanese women! ”

Zhu Houzhao had already moved to destroy the Japanese country, and now he happened to find such an excuse for the Japanese to provoke the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time played a bad game, so as to make it easier for the people of the world to understand that the emperor intended to destroy the Japanese country.

However, when Zhu Houzhao was about to destroy the Wa Kingdom, Zhu Kun told Zhu Houzhao about a rumor from the Beijing Division that the emperor and the first assistant of the cabinet began to dislike and contradict.

In the end, in order to prevent Emperor Zhu Zailei and other ministers from demanding that the vassal states impose their own tariffs and at the same time transfer half of the tax revenue to Beijing, he vetoed it in the name of the first assistant of the cabinet and refused to sign it.

This completely angered Emperor Zhu Zailei and shocked many officials in the world.

Zhu Houzhao once strengthened the powers of the cabinet in order to make the cabinet fully responsible for internal affairs in order to reduce the work burden of his emperor, and in internal affairs, he required that the cabinet's decrees should be countersigned by the cabinet chief assistant, but he did not expect that Xia Yan began to use this to sing against the newly enthroned emperor.

"This Xia Yan! Seeing that I have abdicated, I have almost forgotten who I am! ”

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say.

Zhu Kun also said: "The minister also thinks that Yuanfu is too reckless to do this, although it is for the country, but it is really not a trivial matter to resist, maybe Yuanfu is also a last resort." ”

"It is estimated that it is related to Yan Song, this guy defected at the meeting of the Council Office!"

Zhu Houzhao said that although he abdicated, the intelligence system was still there, so he naturally knew what was happening in the capital, and he knew that Yan Song would not be a peaceful master, but now he began to worry about whether the contradiction between his eldest son and Xia Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, would be used by some people with ulterior motives, and then affect the overall situation of the entire world.
