Chapter 435: Preparing to deal with Jiannu

The occupation of Java can be regarded as the prelude to the official external expansion of the Ming Empire, and the behavior of the Ming army in Java has also played a certain deterrent effect on the rulers of other Nanyang countries and the Western fans occupied by the Western colonies, that is, from now on, if they want to continue to treat their Han people barbarically or unfairly, then they will have to consider the feelings of the Ming Empire, or they will begin to worry about whether the Ming Empire will start a war against them.

Over the years, for the Ming Empire, which urgently needed to expand its overseas interests, it became more and more desirable that the rulers of these regions adopt barbaric or unfair policies against the overseas Han people, so that the Ming Empire could more easily find reasons to compete for their own national interests, and even, in the future, even if the rulers of these regions no longer dared to easily treat the Han people differently, the Ming Empire would deliberately instigate disputes between the Han people and the natives in his own country, so as to achieve the goal of its own imperial expansion.

Gradually, the Ming Empire will change from a righteous person who waged war to protect the safety and dignity of the lives and property of his compatriots into a political hooligan who did not hesitate to use all despicable means to wage war in order to compete for interests, but there is no morality in the game between countries, in this world of the law of the jungle, civilization and humanitarianism are only the norms that countries with equal strength can advocate for each other, if the Ming does not expand, then the Ming will become the object of expansion after hundreds of years.

If we do not step up overseas expansion and primitive capital accumulation at this time, no one can guarantee that there will not be another century-old catastrophe, and we will have to wait until the Western colonizers break the country to wake up, and then a large group of people who kneel and lick the Western colonizers and take pride in them will appear, and even justify the names of these invaders, thanking them for pulling China out of the backward political system.

This is not the result that Zhu Youxiao wants, although he does not like Li Mingrui, a reformist leader who likes to play tricks, he still chooses to support these capitalists in the new era to expand their appetites unscrupulously, not to mention, he is still the biggest capitalist in this world.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, perhaps a hundred years later, the Ming Empire will decline due to changes in the current situation like the British Empire in later generations, but that decline does not mean that the Ming Empire will become completely cowardly, because the accumulation of wealth in the early years has made the national wealth at a high level, even if it is no longer the most powerful existence in the world, but the influence is still there, and the Ming Empire can also be like this, even if hundreds of years later, there is a powerful political system that dominates the world, but he still has to consider the feelings of the Ming Empire.

After occupying the country of Java, Zhu Youxiao did not immediately start to negotiate with the red ghosts occupying the western part of the country of Java to achieve the goal of occupying the entire territory of the country of Java, at this time he did not want to directly declare war with these Western colonists, after all, the current naval strength of the Ming Dynasty is not enough to challenge all the Western colonists, not to mention that although the Zheng Zhilong pirates have been eliminated now, there are other pirate forces on the sea, as well as the remnants of the Zheng pirate group hidden in the Japanese sea at this moment, must also be completely eliminated, so as not to raise tigers at that time, made this Zheng Zhilong make a comeback.

Zhu Youxiao decided to temporarily stop the pace of overseas expansion before his military power further strengthened, during this period, he must completely solve the Jiannu and Mongolian Lin Dan Khan in the north, and the Rakshasa country, which is becoming more and more obvious with war intentions, must also deal a heavy blow, it is best to force it to stop the pace of expansion into Northeast Asia, even if it is to solve these local forces, Zhu Youxiao now feels that his Ming forces are still a little stretched.

To this end, it is necessary to further increase and expand the armed forces and increase military spending.

At this time, among the six ministries, the military department seems to have become the most important department, and its expenditure has almost exceeded that of the household department, and many times, in order to facilitate the direct military expenditure, Zhu Youxiao specially ordered to temporarily collect the income tax on salt, iron and royal capital from the military department and directly hand over it to the royal bank, and omit the accounting link of the household department, so as to avoid too many intermediate procedures and reduce efficiency.

Because he did not plan to start a war in Nanyang in the future, and the occupied areas of Java would only carry out colonial construction and raw material plundering in the future, so Zhu Youxiao decided to transfer the Fourth Army of the Janissary Army, which had strong combat effectiveness, back to the Yunnan-Guizhou area of China, and continued to recruit and expand, and transferred Sun Chengzong and his Cao Wenzhao Department to Java to engage in construction. Tuntian also excelled, and it was not a problem for him to deal with the remnants of the indigenous forces of Java.

It is not worth worrying about whether the Western colonizers or other maritime forces will take advantage of the fact that the Ming Empire is busy with the war against the north, and take the opportunity to seize the ownership of the Ming Dynasty over Java, after all, even if Cao Wenzhao and other troops cannot cope with it, there is still the Nanyang Fleet that can counterbalance these Western colonists, and Zhu Youxiao also ordered Heiwa's first brigade to change the garrison point to Java, so as to be on guard against possible provocations by Western colonists at any time.

After Sun Chengzong and Cao Wenzhao arrived in Java, how to colonize Java, how to promote Han culture and establish the Ming administrative system and education system, and when royal capital such as the Royal Industrial Company and the Royal Weaving Bureau went to Java to expand their business are all later stories.

And now, His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, who is at the helm of the Ming Empire, is about to start preparing for the final blow to Jiannu.

According to the latest information provided by Jin Yiwei, at this time, Jiannu has gradually risen again, Huang Taiji further consolidated his imperial power by annexing several Eight Banner Banner Owners, and this Huang Taiji seems to have further figured out the current situation, and actually began to send people to contact the Rakshasa State, seeing that this posture seems not only to unite the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan Department against the Ming Dynasty, but also to attract the great enemy of the Rakshasa Kingdom.

This forced Zhu Youxiao to start the plan to completely destroy Jiannu in advance, he didn't want to really wait until the Rakshasa Kingdom fought against the Ming Dynasty and split his troops to deal with this Jiannu who still had a bit of a climate.

Although there is a big gap between today's Jiannu and the Ming Dynasty in terms of comprehensive strength, after all, Jiannu is an existence that has been the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty from the end of Wanli to the Apocalypse, so even at this time, when it comes to the final decisive battle against Jiannu, both the emperor Zhu Youxiao and the civil and military officials can't help but be a little nervous and excited.

However, before officially declaring war on Jiannu, Zhu Youxiao suddenly got a news, that is, Jiannu Emperor Taiji actually wanted to come to pay tribute, which reminded Zhu Youxiao that Nurhachi had frequent tribute moves before he raised troops against the Ming, but Zhu Youxiao was not worried that this Jiannu Emperor Taiji sent people to pay tribute this time was really to surrender to the Ming Dynasty or to explore the truth, with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps it would be more uneasy to let this Jiannu investigate the truth and reality.
