The emperor who actually ruled the largest and most powerful territory in the world was not the king of England, but the emperor of the Ming Empire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

And the most luxurious and enviable palace in the world is not the Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, but the Forbidden City of the Ming Empire.

This palace, which is even larger than some cities, is a museum of human treasures with the largest concentration of wealth in the world.

Now, the owner of this palace, His Majesty Zhu Mu, the Emperor of the Ming Empire, is discussing his strategy with his cabinet ministers.

In the original plan, the attack on the Japanese-controlled Korean Peninsula was just a feint attack in the north of the Ming Empire.

The real purpose of the Ming Empire was actually the Southeast Peninsula region where Wang Jue and General Sima Mingwei were located.

However, as the war continued, the decision-makers of the Ming Empire suddenly discovered that it was better to pick up soft persimmons, and Japan happened to be the soft persimmon.

Rather than fighting a bloody decisive battle with Ceylon on the southeast peninsula, rather than fighting a protracted war of attrition in the dense jungle, the Ming Empire was more willing to solve the problem once and for all.

After all, the war was actually funded by the bourgeoisie of the Ming Empire, and the bourgeoisie needed to use the proceeds of the war to recover their early investment.

These people were greedy, but efficient - they handed over more arms to the Ming Empire and helped Zhu Mu modernize his army.

Although this modernization is far from complete, Zhu Mu, as the emperor, and the capitalists, as the beneficiaries, are very satisfied with the war that followed the transformation, and they all reaped the benefits they want from this war.

For example, by seizing the Korean Peninsula, Zhu Mu gained a reputation for recovering the Korean Peninsula, and he became the emperor of the Ming Empire who actually recovered the most territory in more than 100 years.

The ministers of the Ministry of Rites begged him several times to worship the title of ancestor, but Zhu Mu Wanyan refused. But this state of affairs made the young emperor very happy, and he got what he wanted.

On the other hand, the mines in the northern part of Korea have fallen into the hands of the Ming Empire, and although the Japanese guerrillas in the mountains are harassing the communication lines of the Ming Empire, the capital conglomerates cannot wait to start recovering their investment.

For example, since the start of the war, in about half a month, the Ming Empire has accepted more than 20,000 cheap laborers from the Korean Peninsula.

This was just the beginning, and the Ming Dynasty factories had already set their sights on this land that did not belong to them, carving up various assets, including the city.

What the? What about someone on the land? What if the house has an owner? Even the population above has been divided up, and even several villages have been renamed and become xx company xx village.

In this case, the recapture of the Korean Peninsula can no longer be explained by a feint, and even some high-level ministers have joined such a war that is inhumane, but related to the future of the Ming Empire.

They supported the idea of turning such a feint into a real attack, and the pleas for more troops continued one after another, and even the court was already calling for 1 million troops to go north.

"The new plan includes combing the mountains and exterminating the Japanese stragglers who are left behind in the mountains." Shen Yan, the secretary of the military department, took a report and reported the latest plan to his king.

This plan was actually the opinion of the capitalists who had paid for the war and the main content was not to increase the number of troops at the front, but to strengthen the security of the occupied areas behind them.

The major conglomerates hope that they will quickly enter the rhythm of mining rare metal deposits in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula under the protection of the military.

It is precisely because of these mines that the capitalists of the Ming Empire were able to recover their investments in a relatively short period of time and profit from them.

"Ha, you're in a hurry." Zhu Mu leaned back on his dragon chair, staring at Shen Yanshangshu who opened his mouth with a pair of divine eyes.

Shen Yan is the minister he has picked up, and of course he also knows that the other party is the mouthpiece representing the capital chaebol forces. He chuckled lightly and asked the most direct question: "Who will pay for the additional troops?" ”

Zhu Mu found himself more and more like a businessman, originally when he and Wang Jue were together, the decisions were made with his own enthusiasm and various intelligence, but now, he is more concerned about how the money comes from.

He can't be blamed for this, because he doesn't have much money to squander now, so naturally it is impossible to waste military spending to maintain law and order for a group of businessmen.

"Your Majesty, the merchants are willing to pay one-third of their expenses." Shen Yan was accustomed to this way of talking, even though he still had a cabinet minister like Wang Jianfeng sitting next to him.

There is no longer anyone to hold him accountable for his dereliction of honor, because the cabinet ministers present such as Ma Siyuan, Huang Yao, Zhang Huai, and Bai Fei have also become accustomed to this way of talking.

Nothing can be done without money, and now all the ministers have understood it very well. Looking at the daily cost of money at the front, everyone understands that war is now unimaginably expensive.

A shell costs money, a bullet costs money, and a pair of socks costs money...... Battleships, tanks, planes, things that can be used, or good weapons are many, much more than before.

In this context, if there is no money, then wars will be lost and countries will perish - small and poor countries can no longer compete with big and rich countries...... Because the gap between the two sides is already too large to measure.

"A third? Then you just wait, although I am also worried about the logistics of my troops, but it is not to the point where it is unbearable...... I'll give you another chance, repeat. Zhu Mu squinted his eyes and looked at his military department book, as if he was a ruffian.

He has become fierce when he bargains, because if he cares about his face, he loses his own money. Therefore, Zhu Mu prefers to be more fierce himself, so as to win more benefits for himself.

Sure enough, Shen Yan smiled bitterly, and then replied: "Two-thirds of the military expenses are paid for with the corresponding weapons and ammunition...... Couldn't be more. ”

"Eighty percent! The rest of the military spending cannot be less! Zhu Mu gave his own conditions, and Shen Yan, the secretary of the military department, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

As long as His Majesty the Emperor agrees to this plan, it will be easy to do, so he nodded and said: "The minister understands, and the minister will order the implementation of this plan tomorrow......" (To be continued. )
