Xiao Ruxun's recital is a letter inviting the war, and the writing is naturally more exciting.

It is written in the memo that since Jiajing, many coastal residents have left their hometowns and gone to Nanyang to survive, which was caused by the rebellion of the Japanese invaders, but although they are not in China, their hearts are still in China.

After the rebellion of the Japanese invaders was eliminated, the people's minds returned, but the Luzon Franc cleverly set up a name, obstructed the countrymen, and did not allow the countrymen to return to their hometowns, and even used troops to kill!

Our people are doing the dirty work of opening mines, cutting down trees and building towns in Luzon, or sailors' ocean-going seas, and the dirty work is all done by our people, and the Francos sit back and enjoy the success, oppressing our people, and the old and the young, women and children have no rest, and they have to work for more than nine hours at twelve hours a day, which is really a loss of conscience!

Zhao Zhigao looked at it and frowned, he knew the inside story of the Japanese Rebellion, and he also knew what the reason why Xiao Ruxun described the coastal residents of the South Seas like this, that is, to cover up the shame of the imperial court, but the Ming people of the South Seas actually lived so miserably in Luzon, he really didn't know.

When he sent people to Luzon to do business, the Chinese in Luzon cried and begged him, begging him to bring them all to Myanmar to live again, and Luzon couldn't live anymore, so Xiao Ruxun sent a note to the Spaniards to take these residents away.

As a result, the Spaniards not only did not cooperate, but also obstructed them, obviously agreeing on the surface, but behind the scenes, they arranged for the army to block them, and also colluded with local Chinese merchants to hide the population together and prevent Xiao Ruxun from taking it away!

Xiao Ruxun sent people to find it, and was attacked by the Spanish army on the way, they were despicable and shameless, and attacked the Ming army with 200 soldiers, resulting in one Ming soldier killed and dozens injured, and the people were rescued in a dead battle, but the people were also killed and injured hundreds, and he couldn't swallow this breath no matter what!

The Spaniards are slapping the face of the Ming Dynasty, slapping His Majesty the Emperor in the face, just a small barbarian country, and they dare to openly confront the Ming Dynasty, they simply don't know whether they are alive or dead.

He Xiao Ruxun defended southern Xinjiang for the country, and had the responsibility to ensure the peace of the land and sea in southern Xinjiang, and when there was an accident in Luzon, he had the responsibility to ask the imperial court to allocate military salaries, so that he could send troops to Luzon to fight against the ministers, so that the Spaniards bowed their heads and confessed their guilt, and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhao Zhigao finished reading the recital, he was angry, and slapped the table angrily: "Bastard thing!" There is no king's law! ”

In the cabinet at this time, except for Zhang Wei's absence, Chen Yuma's majesty and Shen have always been there, these two people were summoned into the cabinet by Zhao Zhigao in order to disperse Zhang's power, so he was naturally grateful to Zhao Zhigao, and Ping Su was also closer to Zhao Zhigao, knowing that the emperor liked Zhao Zhigao, and Zhao Zhigao's status could not be moved for a while.

However, how could such an old man, who usually doesn't have much temper, get angry today?

Shen Cheng stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Yuanfu, what's so angry?" ”

Zhao Zhigao took a deep breath and said angrily: "Francois Jiyi on Luzon Island in the South Seas actually dared to brazenly attack the Ming army, killing one of our soldiers and wounding dozens of others, I don't know whether to live or die!" ”

"Huh?"

Shen has always been quite shocked, and hurriedly took over the twists and turns, Chen Yuma also came over in shock, and the rest of the cabinet was also shocked by the news, and they all gathered around to watch.

After watching Xiao Ruxun's recital, Shen Yi and Chen Yuma glanced at each other and realized that this matter was not simple.

"In the past, someone in Luzon came to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, saying that the homeland was invaded by the Francois and homeless, and asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help recover the country, but the Ming Dynasty was limited to the quagmire of the Japanese and the Koukou, and there was no extra force to help Luzon restore the country.

Chen Yuma expounded his views.

Shen Yi also nodded in agreement: "For the restoration of Luzon, in fact, it is also the duty of my Ming Dynasty, if you want to send troops, it is justifiable, but time has passed, and the descendants of the king of Luzon are nowhere to be found, even if the country is restored, how can you send people to govern?" It's just that Franco's blatantly attacked my Daming, killing one of our soldiers and wounding dozens of people, which is really hateful and has to be severely punished, otherwise how can Daming have face? ”

Chen Yuma and Shen have always been in favor of sending troops to conscript, Zhao Zhigao himself also supports such a view, and Xiao Ruxun also proposed the scale of the war - not large, a local war, the purpose is to subdue them, let them pay tribute, and re-enter the tributary system, which is not bad, but it is ......

"The treasury doesn't have enough money to disburse......

Zhao Zhigao sighed deeply, and this sigh, the main battle faction died down one after another.

There is no silver, how much suffering has been brought to this spell that entangles the second half of the Ming Dynasty's life!

However, before Xiao Ruxun got 8 million taels of silver from Japan in the First World War, he also seized a silver mountain and a gold mountain, and the war indemnity was 1.6 million per year, which was paid off in five years, and the silver mountain could also provide a quota of 1 million taels of silver every year, and the mining right for 50 years was equivalent to 50 million silver.

In the past three years, Wu Weizhong, the chief soldier of Iwami Town, has guarded Japan, faithfully fulfilled his obligations in Japan, and sent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to Daming every quarter to fill the shortfall.

It stands to reason that Daming's finances have doubled, and it should be much more comfortable, but for some reason, three years have passed, and the financial deficit has not improved much.

At first, the finances were extremely rich, and there was nothing wrong with it, but a year later, the money demanded by the various yamen suddenly increased, not only the yamen in the capital, but also the military expenses demanded by the local army.

For example, Liaodong asked for 300,000 taels of silver as military expenses, preparing to guard against the invasion of Jurchen and Mongolia, and Jizhen also asked for 300,000 silver, in order to prevent the invasion of Mongolia.

As soon as the silver sent from Japan every quarter entered the national treasury, it was taken away by various units for various reasons.

Zhao Zhigao has repeatedly asked all departments not to withdraw money indiscriminately, but the effect is limited, if you don't give the silver, they will come to make trouble, and they won't do anything, anyway, they will ask for silver, and they can't even go to work normally without silver.

Although the emperor also wants silver, the emperor's inner treasury will be open to the outer court when necessary, Zhu Yijun is not stingy, Zhao Zhigao knows it, and these big rats, after taking the silver, they hide it in the cellar of their hometown, or even hide it in the coffin, and they are not afraid of bursting their stomachs!

Zhao Zhigao alone couldn't go against the entire imperial court, so the silver became less and less, and the deficit did not necessarily improve, and the money that could not be taken out could not be taken out.

Right now, Xiao Ruxun wants silver to go to war, not to mention anything else, there must be 100,000 taels, right? However, Zhao Zhigao looked through the accounts of the treasury and found that the Japanese silver for the next quarter had been booked by several departments, and the name was very beautiful, so that people could not find a reason.

In desperation, Zhao Zhigao decided to hand the fold to the emperor and let the emperor worry about it.
