Hong Tao will not oppose this issue, he only opposes the use of extreme methods to occupy, that is, war. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This question is too complicated, on the one hand, because of his personal reasons, and on the other hand, because of his different worldviews and values. Hong Tao believed that as long as he insisted on carrying out a cultural and economic invasion of the Great Song Dynasty, within ten or even decades, the Great Song Dynasty would naturally be annexed by the Jinhe Empire, and there was no need to mobilize the people to fight at all. But these young people were more anxious than the old man like him, they didn't want to wait that long, and it was a bit of a race against time.

Well, now, for this goal, they have changed all the imperial governments, and they have also carried out a great mobilization, and both Metini and Mercy belong to the imperial officials who did not perform well in this mobilization, and it is normal to be replaced. If the empire wanted to invade the Great Song Dynasty, it would have to get the full support of its overseas colonies, mainly in terms of resources and population. The Jinhe Empire established by Hong Tao is actually a research and development center, which has no resources and strength of its own, and lives on the blood transfusion of surrounding countries and colonies. If none of the colonial governors supported the decision of the imperial government, it would be a bad thing.

Medini went home to retire, and Boyu took over the position of Governor of Cape Town, which can be regarded as a compensation for the new government to oust Po Jiao, an exchange of interests. The governor of Port Karamba is Bush's cousin, who is a captain from the Navy who has always been on patrol duty in the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. Mercy is the son of Cixi, don't look at Ciqi being forgiven by the people of the empire, but Cixi is still a stinky dog \, and even with compassion is unlucky. If it weren't for the protection of Weng Ya and the Weng family, he would probably have to serve in the supply fleet, and he wouldn't even be the chief officer.

Now he was sent to the island of Java to continue as governor, but the governor here and the governor of Port Kalamba are not the same thing. Java Island and Brunei Port are both newly occupied lands by the Empire, Brunei Port was renamed Brunei City, which is the third city in the empire, and a city will be established on Java Island, which is called Java City.

But at the moment there is no shadow of the city, only a construction site and a small military port. Mercy is equivalent to those who come to open up the wasteland, except for slaves, they do not even have military power, and they must always be on guard against pirate attacks in the southern coastal areas.

Weng Ya did not dislike Mercy, not only did she not dislike it, but also resigned from the post of commander of the fleet stationed in the port of Kalamba, scolded Yi Yi and all government ministers in the Prime Minister's office, turned around and drove the Weng family's boat, took dozens of relatives of the Weng family to Jawa Island, and went to Ci Mercy as bodyguards. In the face of this woman who has become a mother but is still as strong as ever, Yi Yi has no choice, just scold, he has learned a lot from Hong Tao in this regard, and he has a huge face.

The strife within the empire came to an end, and in early 1252, the empire began to make a series of moves against the Great Song court. First of all, he privately sold 3,000 muskets and 20 army guns improved from deck guns to the Straits Company, and then sold a complete set of smelting equipment to the Straits Company, and sent people to Hainan Island to help them install it.

Then he pretended to stand up and act as a mediator, while persuading the Strait Company State to stop letting the army continue to march north, and on the other hand, he sent people to discuss with the Great Song Dynasty whether to stop the mobilization of troops, and the two sides sat down to talk first.

The reason why the government of Yiyi did this was not because of any concern for international influence, and the term has not yet been coined. Their main purpose was to stall for time, because the empire was not ready for a big battle. The tens of thousands of soldiers requisitioned from the ports of Kalamba and Cape Town still need to be transported to the ports of Mayi and Brunei in batches, which requires a lot of capacity and cannot be completed in a short period of time.

They were afraid that the miscellaneous army of the Strait Company State would not be able to withstand the first wave of attacks of the Great Song Dynasty Imperial Army, which was also experienced in a hundred battles, especially the more than 10,000 New Song Army, which was trained with the help of the Jinhe Empire, and after several years of actual combat, if it was equipped with newer muskets and artillery, its combat effectiveness might be stronger than that of the Jinhe Empire's army.

If the Strait Company State was defeated by the Great Song Dynasty in a short period of time, it would have a great impact on the Jinhe Empire's plan to invade the Great Song Dynasty. Although these second-generation people are radical, they are not stupid at all, why die more if they can die less, and why not be tough if they can fish in troubled waters. They have not forgotten Hong Tao's creed of exchanging the minimum price for the maximum gain, and they have implemented it more thoroughly than Hong Tao himself. All morality, shame, and justice are invalid to them, only suitable and inappropriate in their eyes, and all methods that are beneficial to the Jinhe Empire, no matter how dirty they are, are the truth in their eyes.

Those merchants of the Straits Company State are cannon fodder in their eyes, and the more damage these people suffer, the more beneficial it will be for the merchants of the Golden River Empire to dominate the maritime trade in the future. If the Great Song Dynasty and the Strait Company could fight so that there was no one left, leaving a huge country, as long as it could leave a population of 18 million, it would be enough. The large population was also a burden to the Jinhe Empire, and it is said that Yi Yi and the others were planning how to use the opportunity of the war to reduce the population of the Great Song Dynasty on a large scale.

"I really should strangle them to death, starting with that smiling Yi!" After Hong Tao listened to Cixi's story, his mind was empty. The capitalists of the Great Song Dynasty who have spent more than ten years cultivating by themselves are estimated to take less than a year or two, and they all have to let these little guys do the scourge. And these little guys are too cold-blooded, and they actually plan to use this war to consume tens of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty, just to save the food supply after their occupation.

"Your Majesty, the most hateful thing is not Yi Yi, he and his group are actually thinking about the empire as well. I've secretly checked them, and there really aren't any corrupt masters, and many of them live more economically than you. They say it's called hard work, and it's what you learned......" Cixi also defended Yi Yi.

"Struggle is a fart! Tens of millions of people have been killed, and they are not working hard! The most hateful thing is not him, who else do you say? Hong Tao was about to reach out and pinch Cixi's neck, if he dared to defend Yi Yi again.

"You forgot, there's another Wen Hao...... That Great Song Nanyang Xuanfu Envoy! Cixi took out a small book from his pocket again, he was no longer the Minister of Supervision, but there were many small books in his pocket, it was originally one, and now it has become three, and it is all changed to heavenly accounts.

"Wen Hao? Did he instigate the incident at this political meeting? If it weren't for Cixi's reminder, Hong Tao would have really forgotten about this person.

"That's not it, he didn't participate in it at first, but then he was more happy. The reason why the maritime merchant surnamed Luo attacked Hainan Island was because he instructed it. This guy is now the chairman of the Strait Company State, and the frontier officials have directly defected to the enemy, do you say that it is powerful? If there was no matter of Hainan Island, this group of businessmen would not be so desperate to fight with the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty would not have to bite the back molars to hold on. His trick is too ruthless, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight! Cixi told Hong Tao the reason why he said Wen Hao was the most hateful.

“…… You can see it better than me, compared to him, Yi Yi and they are really all good people......" Hong Tao directly asked Cixi to say nothing, and it took a long time to mutter.

"This is not the end, as far as I know, since he became the chairman of the Straits Company, he has been to Jinhe City three times in a row, who do you guess he went to?" It is cost-effective Cixi has not finished talking about Wen Hao's sins, and there are still some to come.

"Looking for whom? It's not going to be to find Yiyi, right? Hong Tao immediately became vigilant, this Wen Hao is insidious and vicious, cunning and intelligent, and extremely ambitious, if Yi Yi mixes with him, he may not be able to fight him. This kind of person is a human spirit, and the only way to deal with them is to ignore them, and it really doesn't work to kill them. No matter how smart, cunning, and left and right you are, you can't carry a bullet or an arrow.

"If I do, you can't rush." Obviously, Wen Hao didn't go to Jin Ha Sung to find Yi Yi.

"Don't talk nonsense, even if he goes to find Jinhe, I'm not in a hurry!" Hong Tao really couldn't think of anyone in Jinhe City who could pay more attention to Wen Hao than the Imperial Prime Minister.

"Hehe, you guessed it, he's looking for Jinhe. Each time, the royal ship was sent directly to the Huangzhuang in the east of the city, and the stay time was at least two or three days, and the longest time Wen Hao stayed in the Huangzhuang for five days. Cixi finally put away the little notebook, and it seemed that she was done.

“…… Cixi, you are a loyal servant of the empire, just like Ciqi. It's not me who loves the empire the most, nor Jinhe and the Bo family, but you. "Hong Tao is very embarrassed, there is a problem with the royal family, there is a problem with his own son, and it is not a small problem. Even if he was discovered by a person like Cixi who was the most close to him, others didn't know, Hong Tao felt a little fever on his face.

"Your Majesty, don't say that, maybe Jin He is talking to Wen Hao about serious things, but he is afraid of outsiders' suspicions, so he sneaks around. Didn't you say that a qualified imperial official's private morality can be high or low, as long as the public morality is higher than that of ordinary people, it will become a ......" Cixi couldn't bear to look at Hong Tao's self-blame, and after thinking for a long time, only this reason was slightly more reliable.

"Oh, it's a personal relationship...... The emperor and other ministers suddenly had a personal relationship, and then the two of them secretly went to the farm to grow tobacco and chant poetry at the same time, right? Let you say this, these two are very noble men, they both indulge in the pleasure of growing crops, this is a good story, and it must be spread so that the people of the empire can see how different their emperor is! This kind of doesn't have the slightest comforting effect, and can only make Hong Tao despise.
