Looking at the ministers below, Zhu Hongsan asked, "Who agrees with Premier Huang's statement?" ”
As soon as Zhu Hongsan's words came out, several of them stood up, four of the six vice premiers stood up, and eight of the thirteen Shangshu stood up.
Zhu Hongsan looked at Vice Premier Ma Mingyuan and Tong Yangjia did not stand up, and asked, "Mr. Ma, what do you think?" ”
Ma Mingyuan said: "Your Majesty, what Premier Huang said is very right, and the minister also agrees with him, but the minister is in charge of finance, and he really has no money!" In order to expand the army by 50,000 this year, three million taels of silver have been spent so far, and this is only training, and if you count the equipment and weapons, another three million will not be enough. At the same time, the Navy has three warships lined up this year, which also requires money. Zhang Jiayu won a big victory in Ganzhou, and this part of the reward also needed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, if His Majesty wanted to use troops against Guangxi, the minister estimated that he would need at least 10 million taels of silver! ”
As soon as Ma Mingyuan's voice fell, Huang Yingxiu shouted: "Prime Minister Ma, you miscalculated!" How can you need so much! ”
"Premier Huang, you see, we only have one regiment of 3,500 people on the border of Guangxi, and if we want to occupy the entire territory of Guangxi, we need at least five regiments. The last battle with the Ming army in Guangxi cost more than 50,000 taels of silver, this is still a regiment, if five regiments occupy Guangxi, how many battles can be fought? I think everyone is a capable official, and they should be able to figure it out. And this is a war, after we occupy Guangxi, we will be responsible for the more than 2 million Han people in Guangxi, their food and drink must be solved by us, everyone knows that Guangxi is barren, everything has to be transported from Guangzhou, and Guangxi's toast needs to be appeased and bought? These all need money, so the 10 million he said is still undercounted! ”
Listening to Ma Mingyuan's refutation of Huang Yingxiu, Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, Ma Mingyuan is bullying these people who don't understand the economy, and it costs money to occupy Guangxi, but what Ma Mingyuan said is where money is spent, and he doesn't include the places where there are benefits. Not to mention that a large amount of land can be occupied, even a few iron ore mines in Guangxi are a large income. However, the most important thing for Guangdong is the miscanthus nitrate mine in Nanning, where one-third of the saltpeter needed for gunpowder production in Guangdong comes from Nanning, Guangxi. Zhu Hongsan knew that Hengxian County in Nanning was the main production area of this large-scale miscanthus mineral, but the miscanthus was generally deep underground, and it was difficult to mine it without gunpowder blasting into caves.
Zhu Hongsan knew that Ma Mingyuan could see that he didn't want to do anything to Guangxi, so he exaggerated the difficulty of using troops to dispel Huang Yingxiu's thoughts.
Zhu Hongsan looked at Tong Yangjia and asked, "Doesn't Mr. Tong agree to use troops against Guangxi?" ”
"The minister is in charge of the equipment department and the logistics department, and now the recruits have not been trained, and the weapons are only less than 30% completed. If the troops are used in Guangxi, the troops in Ganzhou and Chaozhou will be transferred back, so that the north will be wide open, and the minister really does not want the second Li Chengdong incident to occur, so the minister seconded Premier Ma and did not agree to use troops against Guangxi! ”
As soon as the ministers heard Tong Yangjia talk about the Guangdong incident, they did not speak. This has already involved the emperor's net worth and life, no minister is stupid enough to insist on using troops against Guangxi, after all, last time Emperor Zhu Hongsan's wife died and his daughter disappeared, it is better not to touch his moldy head.
Sure enough, as the ministers thought, as soon as Tong Yangjia mentioned the Guangzhou incident, Zhu Hongsan's face sank, and he said: "Okay, don't mention the matter of Guangxi's use of troops, let's stop here today, disperse the dynasty!" After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he stood up and went back to the harem. The ministers also returned to their offices and began to prepare for the day's work.
Zhu Hongsan's palace is the former Chu Palace, and there are also three major halls built in it, which are the Carrier Palace, the Yuan Hall and the Cunxin Palace, which correspond to the three major halls of Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe of the Forbidden City in Beijing, but the scale is not as large as the three major halls. In addition, Zhu Hongsan didn't want to stay in Guangzhou for a long time, so he naturally saved it. The front hall is the place where some ceremonies are held; The middle hall is the place of the court meeting, and it is also the place where Zhu Hongsan and the cabinet discuss state affairs, and the cabinet is built on the left side of the palace; The last is the Cunxin Palace, which is the location of Zhu Hongsan's own office, and the Military Aircraft Department, the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and the Dongchang Admiral Yamen are all here, so the Cunxin Hall is the core of government operations.
When he returned to his office, Zhu Hongsan was in a very bad mood, and just now he talked about the Guangzhou incident at the court meeting, which reminded Zhu Hongsan of Ma Xiaofang and the lost Zhu Yu. Ma Xiaofang didn't say it, although he died, a few days passed with Zhu Hongsan's unsympathetic character. Only Zhu Yu is the pain in Zhu Hongsan's heart.
Zhu Yu went out of the palace that day to see her grandmother at Tong Yangjia's house, and there was a great chaos in the city of Guangzhou, and Tong Yangjia did not let Zhu Yu return to the palace. But Zhu Yu was worried about his mother and father, so he had to go back to the palace. Tong Yangjia had no choice but to send ten family members to escort her back to the palace, but she didn't expect to meet the fleeing Qing army as soon as she went out, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead. Afterwards, Zhu Hongsan also asked Jinyiwei to send someone to look for it, and if people couldn't find it, even if they knew life and death, but Zhu Yu seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news at all.
Although Zhu Hongsan is wolf-hearted, but he is still good to his children, Zhu Yu is still the second daughter, Zhu Hongsan likes this gentle and beautiful daughter very much, and after coming to Guangzhou, there are also people who propose to Zhu Yu, but Zhu Hongsan is pushed away because the child is still young, Zhu Hongsan does not want his daughter to get married and have children when she is only a teenager, and the others cannot be guaranteed, at least let her live a happy girlhood.
When Zhu Hongsan was sulking in the house, the little yellow door outside the door entered the house and said, "Master, the commander of Jinyi Weiqian asks to see you!" ”
"Humph! He still dares to come to see me? Let him in! ”
Qian Fatzi was beaten by Zhu Hongsan after the Guangzhou incident, and his ass became a rotten chrysanthemum, and he lay in bed for three months before he could get up.
After Qian Lide entered the house, he quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, report a good news to Your Majesty, the minister has received news from Princess Yuyang!" ”
Princess Yuyang is Zhu Yu's title, Zhu Hongsan heard the news of having a daughter, and quickly got up and asked, "Say it quickly!" Over there! ”
Qian Lides Si Ai Ai said: "That please Your Majesty to calm his anger, the minister just received a secret report from Fujian Jinyi Wei Qianhu, on the first day of the fifth month, Li Chengdong's Li Yuanyin wedding, the identity of the thousand households is a merchant in Fuzhou, and he also went to participate, he saw that the bride may be Princess Yuyang!" ”
Zhu Hongsan frowned and asked, "Do you see it clearly?" What a small fish? ”
Qian Lide was sweating profusely, in fact, the thousand households didn't see it clearly, but the girl who was bought in Li Chengdong's house reported that the bride was abducted from Guangdong, and I heard that her surname was Zhu. Qian Lide has lost a lot of Zhu Hongsan's trust in the past few months, and now Cao Fang of Dongchang has no respect for him, so Qian Lide needs a great effort to regain Zhu Hongsan's trust. After getting the secret report from the thousand households this time, Qian Lide was like grasping a life-saving straw, and came to report the good news without even thinking about it.
Zhu Hongsan looked at Qian Lide's appearance, and knew that this guy had no exact news, so he scolded angrily: "Qian Fatty, you dare to come and tell me without accurate news, do you want to bully the king?" ”
This big hat was buttoned down, Qian Lide was so scared to death, Zhu Hongsan didn't like it, Zhu Yu's affairs were not handled well, it was really not far from death.
"Hooray! Banzai! The minister sent someone to Fuzhou to rescue Princess Yuyang immediately! ”
"You don't have to enter the palace after smashing my office this time, you can decide it yourself, and your wife and children are all assigned to Luzon mining, do you know?"
Hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, Qian Lide knew that the emperor was really angry, and kowtowed again and again, saying that he would definitely send someone to find out.
Seeing Qian Lide's fart and urine flowing out, Zhu Hongsan's heart was blocked, and at this time, the prince Zhu Hai, who was standing next to him, hurriedly picked up the tea on the table and handed it to Zhu Hongsan.
"Father's anger, I think Sister Yuyang will return safely!"
Zhu Hai is fifteen years old this year, but the ancients are imaginary years, and the other Zhu Hai is just thirteen years old. However, this child has the good genes of the Ma family, he is tall and big, just fifteen years old, he is 1.65 meters, and he is also tall in this era.
Zhu Hongsan ordered to set up an East Palace for Zhu Hai this year, and took it with him when he went to the court and when he was in the office, which can be regarded as cultivating a preparatory successor.
After several months of observation, Zhu Hongsan found that Zhu Hai had a soft personality on the outside and a strong personality on the inside, and he was square. If Zhu Hai is in a period of peace, such as the era of Xuanzong, Zhu Hai must be a good successor, and he will definitely be able to govern the country well with the assistance of ministers such as Ma Mingyuan. But now is a troubled time, and a character like Zhu Hai is really not the best candidate for the king of a country.
Zhu Hongsan took a sip of the teacup and asked, "Prince, you have seen everything in the court today, and you say your opinion!" ”
Zhu Hai bowed and said, "Father, I think what Premier Ma said is very right, it is really not easy to use troops against Guangxi financially now!" ”
"I want to hear your opinion, don't talk about your uncle's set, you want to think in your own heart!"
Zhu Hai lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Father, if you ask me what I think, in fact, I agree with what Premier Huang said, and think that King Gui's regime should be eliminated first. ”
"Tell me your reasoning."
Zhu Hai looked up at Zhu Hongsan, carefully pondered the sentence, and said: "Father, after all, King Gui of Guangxi is much closer than our family, if they are allowed to develop, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up in the future!" Zhu Hai also knew that his family's bloodline was too far away, and he couldn't compare with Zhu Youlang at all, but this was really not good in front of Zhu Hongsan, which is why Zhu Hongsan forced him to say it today, otherwise he would never say it.
Zhu Hongsan nodded, he didn't expect Zhu Hai to still have this ruthlessness, but Zhu Hai is a child after all, and he doesn't know that fists are the last word in this era, as long as he has an army in his hand, not to mention that you are a remote bloodline of the Wanli Emperor, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is resurrected, he must obediently obey orders.
"Prince, it's good that you can think like this, how can you allow others to snore next to the couch. But you have to remember that only the army in your hand is there, if the army is not there, you are Emperor Taizu resurrected and no one will listen to you, you know? ”
Zhu Hai nodded, and remembered the way of being a king that Zhu Hongsan handed over to him.
