The water is indeed too cold, and it is indeed deliberate.

He knew very well that there was nothing to bargain with these things, and they were not qualified to bargain with Yang Qing at all.

But......

They can provoke Zhu Cihong.

deliberately put forward these conditions in front of Zhu Cihong and then fooled the latter to think that it was okay, and then sent them to talk to Yang Qing, Yang Qing could not agree, then his refusal was a slap in the face of Zhu Cihong. And after they went back, they continued to add fuel and vinegar, and Zhu Cihong, who originally didn't have hatred for Yang Qing, should hate this rebel minister to the core.

Zhu Cihong will definitely accept the conditions.

If he were sixty years old, maybe he would be honest enough to live in Chang'an, but a young man who is about to turn twenty years old cannot tolerate the life of captivity. In other words, even our Qing Kang Dejun roared that no matter what, even if he admits to be a father, he has to be an emperor, let alone Zhu Cihong. When he returned to Nanjing, he could still fight with the ministers, and there were a lot of loyal ministers to support, but in Chang'an, he had nothing but to be honestly kept in captivity.

He would definitely take it in exchange for coming back.

It's just that he accepted it with hatred and anger, which is more in line with Donglin Qunxian's intentions.

But......

Does Yang Qing need to care about this?

Does he need to care about Zhu Cihong's attitude? There was an irreconcilable contradiction between the emperor and the ministers, and the result was the same for him to give Zhu Cihong face and not to give Zhu Cihong face. His Majesty the Emperor's hatred for him is inevitable, there is no emperor who does not hate the ministers, it is just whether he can be killed, and the one who can't be killed is Huo Guang and Zhang Juzheng, so he has to endure until he dies and then take his family under the knife. The one who can be killed is the first Baturu of Pork Rong Manchuria, of course, there are also those who think they can kill it but can't actually do it, so they can only be unlucky, such as Cao Chaoyuan, the emperor who saw why he rebelled.

Therefore, it is impossible to expect the emperor and the powerful ministers to maintain mutual love.

Yang Qing was not interested in caring about the emperor's feelings.

In short, he has already opened the conditions, accept you and come back, and if you don't accept it, he will continue to stay in Chang'an as a duke.

Negotiation is impossible to negotiate.

It is impossible to negotiate in this life.

"Remember, you are not negotiating with them, you are going to crusade on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, and they can only admit their guilt and accept punishment without having the right to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. They have to accept or not accept these two choices, accept the punishment, then we forgive them for the previous sin of fornicating with slaves, and if they do not accept the punishment, then we will continue to crusade against the unsubordinate. ”

Yang Qing stood on the Yuejiang Tower, looked at the battleship of Saijiang and said to Zheng Chenggong.

This is a crusade against the Wa Kingdom.

The first gunboat diplomacy of the Ming Dynasty triggered by the private trade between the Japanese and Jiannu will be fully responsible for the Beiyang Naval Division, and the commander-in-chief is Zheng Chenggong, the commander of Dengzhou and the Beiyang Naval Division. For this crusade, Yang Qing gave all the latest batch of warships to the Beiyang Naval Division, making the number of new cruisers under his jurisdiction exceed 40 in one fell swoop, and a total of more than 1,000 cannons from six to twenty-four pounds can be carried......

The construction speed of the new warship is very fast, after all, it is not a big ship, and even the original Ming Dynasty sailors have begun to build similar Chinese and Western gunboats after the Battle of Tuen Mun. Moreover, the navy has sufficient military spending, and the rest is only to build those state-owned and private shipyards along the coast from Zhangzhou to Ningbo at full speed.

However, the naval cannon is iron.

After all, iron is cheap, and there is no weight limit in the navy, and the rise of the British navy is due to their extensive use of iron cannons, which is different from the army, which has all the cannons of bronze except for those furlong machines. In the same way, there is no such quantity or quantity of iron-cast cannons, and this kind of cheap goods is as many as possible, and finally the Beiyang Naval Division, a powerful fleet with more than 1,000 cannons, was finally achieved.

Forty sixth-tier ships that can be said to be the main force of the British army at the time of the first crow......

At the time of the first crow, the main force of the British army was the sixth-rank ship.

At that time, the British army dispatched a total of three 74-gun ships, and later reinforced one when they were almost finished, but the vast majority of the remaining ships were fifth-class ships and sixth-class ships, and the number of sixth-class ships accounted for half of the entire fleet. And these cruisers of the Ming army have a tonnage of sixth-class ships, fifth-class ships with firepower, and their protection exceeds that of cruisers, and they are still sixth-class according to the standard of a crow, although they are equipped with twenty-four pound-pound guns that are not small on battleships in this era, but it is not uncommon for a six-level ship to have thirty-two-pounder caron guns at the time of a crow.

When this fleet gets a crow, it can all beat us violently.

They are enough to abuse the Japanese nation.

At this time, the Wa Kingdom did not have a navy, and after the defeat of Korea, the Wa State no longer considered expansion, and the Tokugawa Shogunate was now playing the game of closing the country and completely giving up stepping out of the ranks. The main force on the water was the Seto Inland Sea, which protected Osaka for the Tokugawa family, and the main purpose of the Hokuyo Naval Division this time was to bombard the west coast of the Wakuni Province, and then along the west coast all the way to Niigata.

The Tokugawa shogunate occupied Sado Island without paying reparations.

In the past two years, because of the whaling industry, Daming ships have been very familiar with the whale sea route, and more than 50 whaling ships have gone north from the port of Busan this year, including the sea exploration of the Beiyang Navy Division has also reached Hokkaido. However, the Wa Kingdom closed the country, and the coastal ports were forbidden to trade, and the Daming whaling ships were not allowed to resupply in the coastal ports, and eventually these whaling ships had to sail long distances to the supply station in Hokkaido, where they used this supply station to replenish fresh water, exchange some food with the Ezo people by the way, and then go to the whaling grounds.

The whalers were also unhappy about this.

It can be said that this crusade has been expected by the whole Ming Dynasty, and even the newspapers controlled by the gentry have touted this crusade.

Because it can force the Japanese to open their ports.

Then it will soon swell to more than 100 whaling ships of all sizes can go north to the Whale Sea, using the coastal ports of the Japanese country as supply stations. Private whalers are especially looking forward to this, because the whaling ships under the Beiyang Company are all large ships that can go north as much as possible, but most of the whaling ships that flock to the private sector and even hastily refit are small boats with limited long-distance sailing ability. They can only hunt whales near the bases of Zhousan, Dengju, and Pusan, and if the coastal ports of the Wa Kingdom allow them to resupply, then they can also sail farther.

"Xingong, the last general understands!"

Zheng Chenggong said very simply.

He has now fully grown up, and he is not the Guozi supervisor in the past, he has been almost all on the battlefield over the years, from the initial aid to the DPRK to the later garrison of Denglai, the construction of Busan City, and then to the previous Shandong Campaign, as well as the continuous Liaodong coastal raids, all under his auspices.

It should be said that his performance is still satisfactory to Yang Qing.

Of course, the Zheng family is also wealthy.

In recent years, he has made a lot of money just by mining in Denglai and North Korea, and even opened gold mines in Dengzhou, and Yang Qing now encourages private mining, but only to collect heavy taxes, including gold and silver mines. But the mined gold and silver had to be sold to the Imperial Bank, which paid for the silver and gold coins minted by the household, or directly to the banknotes, in the form of payment they wanted, and the gold-silver ratio was legally set at one to ten. However, this ratio is slightly higher than the actual rate, in fact, the private trade can not reach so much, so many local rich people take out gold to exchange for silver coins, but the gap is limited, and the exchange is still not much.

But Europe far exceeds that number.

So exchanging silver from Europe for gold is definitely a good business, and in fact Europeans have always done it.

But Yang Qing couldn't help it.

This kind of thing is beyond his control, even if he bans the export of gold, it is useless, as long as the profit is enough, there are a lot of people to smuggle it, and as long as the silver mines in the Americas are still under the control of the Europeans, it is useless for him to change the exchange rate. Fortunately, he also has a substitute for the dead, because the gold of the Wa Kingdom is cheaper than that of the Ming Dynasty, so after opening the gate of the Wa Kingdom, the silver can be stuffed into the Wa Kingdom, and finally to maintain the domestic gold and silver legal ratio.

As for the inflation of the influx of large amounts of silver in the Wa Kingdom, it is none of Yang Qing's business.

The question of currency is troublesome.

He could only try to maintain that China's gold-silver ratio reached around 1:10 at the end of the Ming Dynasty due to the influx of European silver, but it continued to rise slowly at this level until it reached 1:14 in his later years. Then, as Europe gradually abandoned the double standard and began to enter the gold standard one after another, a large amount of silver was dumped in the East, and this ratio was finally out of control, and by the time Galeries Lafayette failed to challenge the nations, it was already a customs two pairs for 0.15 pounds.

So there is a lot of time left for Yang Qing.

The ratio of 1:10 was enough for him to guarantee that there would be no problems for the next few decades, and that he would not have a problem by passing it on to the Wa Kingdom and increasing gold mining for half a century.

The key is to establish a stable monetary system.

The rapid transition of currency from copper coins and silver ingots to paper money and gold and silver coins, and then collecting copper coins and turning them into cannons, as for the exchange rate, this is not imminent. It was only decades later that he had to face it, and all he needed to do during this period was to maintain the existing one in various ways, and the gold and silver standard did not mean that he could not play, but the United States still wanted to play silver and dollars until Kennedy......

Uh, and then he was beaten to death!

"Xingong!"

A voice sounded behind Yang Qing.

"Haven't you gone back yet?"

Yang Qing looked back at Li Dingguo and said.

After the meeting of the Four Peoples is over, it is time for the Sichuan delegation to go back.

"I'm trying to say goodbye to the letter!"

Li Dingguo looked at Zheng Chenggong and said.

"On behalf of the father-in-law, I wish the Hou of Nan'an a victory!"

He said to the latter.

"Thank you, please also ask the general to tell Zhang Gong, I hope that Zhang Gong will guard the frontier for the country!"

Zheng Chenggong said.

He didn't have a good impression of Li Dingguo, in his opinion, a thief is a thief after all, although he was actually from a pirate family, but after all, he was highly educated in Guozijian. This is different from his father, his father did not have this habit, and he had a great relationship with Li Zicheng at the beginning, and he earned a lot of gold and silver stained with the blood of Beijing's wealthy nobles from Li Zicheng.

Li Dingguo didn't care much.

He's a good-natured man.
