Chapter 603 is all from last year

The sixth day of the seventh month.

It's the time of the early dynasty again, and the monarchs and ministers are still in the early dynasty as in the past, and some people remember yesterday's wins and losses in their hearts, as if nothing had happened; Someone remembered it on his face, and he looked indignant.

After some etiquette, the "Song of Righteousness" was recited in unison, and then the discussion of today's events began.

"What's going on today?" Yang Gengai swept the ministers and asked majestically. This majesty is not that it can't be pretended, the emperor has been doing it for a long time, this majesty will naturally have it, as long as he doesn't laugh and laugh, this majesty will always hang on his body.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to play." Shi Fenglai was still the first to say.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, today there is an envoy from the Ryukyu Kingdom, saying that the lord of his family has been enslaved by the Japanese State, and the Japanese Kingdom is not good for our dynasty, and I implore my court to send troops to rescue and save the lord of the other country to restore the country......" Shi Fenglai came up and said this.

When the people heard this, was this the thing? The emperor is going to war again? The opposition immediately exploded, the status of the warriors has just risen sharply, and there is a war, so isn't that status even higher? I'm ready to refuse right now, but think about it, it's not right! It doesn't seem to have been arranged by the emperor! The envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom came to the capital, but it was not a year or two, before the emperor ascended the throne, this matter was there, and last year the emperor seemed to promise his family to help him return to the country, this ......, many people were confused.

Yang Gai is ready to make persistent efforts, beat the Dongyu, and then go to beat, this navy always has to go out, and now, he has finally freed his hand, and the good show is about to begin.

"What a thing! If I'm not mistaken, I seem to have promised the Ryukyu envoy last year to help his lord restore the country, right? Yang Gengai pretended to recall for a moment before asking.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, at that time, Your Majesty took pity on the lord of another country who was enslaved by the Japanese country, and was very angry, and promised to help the lord of other countries restore the country, but at that time, my Heavenly Dynasty sailor was not complete, and I could not help the lord of his family to restore the country, and now, my sailor is well prepared, but I can fulfill Your Majesty's promise!" Shi Fenglai immediately said, as a microphone, he consciously fulfilled his duties and said what the emperor wanted to say.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since I promised to help the head of his family, let's all talk about it, what should I do." Yang Gai said.

The ministers immediately began to discuss, although many people here are more and more disagreeable with the emperor, and there is more and more posture with the emperor, but I have to say that after so many things, the majesty of the emperor is increasing day by day, and some people have made up their minds to fight with the emperor to the end, but more people feel about the emperor, that is, fear, the emperor does not beat people, and does not kill people casually, but he is a good gentleman, he is easy to talk about everything, and even many things can depend on you, but it is such an emperor, silently, A lot of unimaginable things have been done, and many things and many people have been flattened and rounded at will. More people have a clearer understanding of the emperor, even if they want to work against the emperor, they have to talk about things, have real evidence, and have nothing to do with the emperor, and one day they will be unlucky.

The ministers discussed it once, and many ministers held that since the emperor had promised to help others, and now he has this ability, he naturally wants to help, and naturally he wants to send troops to drive away the Japanese people who occupied Ryukyu, and the Ming Dynasty has always been good to the subject countries, and has always been stingy with money and gifts, and even sent troops to fight.

Cao Yubian was irritable in his heart, he hadn't figured out how to deal with the matter of the governor of Liaodong, and today there was another matter of sending troops to Ryukyu, this matter is really a pile after pile, and the emperor is doing it, this is not something that anyone can deal with! It's really nerve-wracking, he is sure that the emperor has a plan, but the emperor's plan is there, but he can't understand it, is it really purely to help the lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom drive out the Japanese people?

The aggrieved man in Han Yi's heart, the emperor you have said it, you promised to accept it last year, and you still asked us to discuss it this year, what else is there to discuss? How else can we object? Now that the Daming Navy Division is strong and strong, there are many boats, how can you not go? A few years ago, millions of dollars of silver were spent, and more than 100,000 horses helped North Korea to fight, but now can you still drive a few Japanese people?

The faces of the people were dark and dark, and they were discussed for a long time.

Yang Gengai saw that it was almost discussed, so he pressed his hand. And all the ministers fell silent.

"I see that you have all discussed it almost, so let's talk about it." Yang Gai said. ,

"Your Majesty, I think that I should immediately send troops to help the lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom restore the country, the Ryukyu Kingdom is a subject country of my Ming Dynasty, how can I let others enslave? This is obviously not to put my Daming in his eyes, today you can bully my Daming vassal country, tomorrow, it should be bullied to my Daming's head, today I don't seek justice for my vassal country, and he will still have that subject country to recognize my Daming as Zhengshuo......" Shi Fenglai was the first to stand up and say.

Yang Reform nodded and said yes, this is not the future to bully the Ming Dynasty, it has already bullied the Ming Dynasty, this war to aid the Ming Dynasty is not bullying the Ming Dynasty?

Seeing that Shi Feng had spoken, the others also came out and said.

"Your Majesty, I think that our dynasty is now strong and strong, and there are many boats, so it is natural to help the Ryukyu Kingdom to restore the country......"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Ryukyu has always been respectful to our court, and has no intention of deviating from me, and since he should be supported by him, besides, His Majesty promised the envoy of the Ryukyus last year, how can he break his promise, and he should keep his promise and help the lord of another country to restore his country."

More people came forward and were in favor of the emperor's help in the restoration of the Ryukyus. If nothing else, just because the emperor promised to help others restore the country last year, it is not easy to object.

Even Cao Yubian can only smack his lips, he should oppose this matter, but how can he oppose it? If you want to object, you shouldn't have asked the emperor to promise the Ryukyus last year, and how can you regret what you promised last year? Cao Yubian only felt that his mouth was bitter, if the emperor wanted to make trouble, he was planning ...... last year, thinking of this, Cao Yubian only felt that his mouth was more bitter, and he could only comfort himself, this is just a coincidence, the emperor should not be so powerful, how much can you know about overseas things? Thinking about it, Cao Yubian felt ...... This is lying to yourself.

"Your Majesty, the minister opposes ......" Cao Yubian had to come out to oppose even if he was bitter in his heart, the words in his mouth were as bitter as those in his heart, and he couldn't be bitter.

As soon as Cao Yubian exited, everyone looked at him. Today's opposition has almost died down, but I didn't expect this old guy to come out! Fighting with the emperor, you don't have to do this, how can you oppose this? This was decided last year. Can you still lose the face of this Celestial Empire?

"Oh, the Qing family is talking about it, why do you oppose it? What is the rationale? Yang asked reform.

"Your Majesty, without him, my dynasty has just experienced a great war and has not yet recovered its vitality, so why should we fight for others? How much does this cost? Your Majesty, save the people's power! Cao Yubian can only talk about this.

"Hehe......" Yang Gengai laughed dryly, and said: "...... I remember the Liaodong War, it has always been fought on land, and the sailors have no chance to play, and now they have crossed the sea to help the Ryukyus restore the country, and they should be dispatched sailors, so why is this a big loss of vitality? ”

Cao Yubian only felt that there was no taste in his mouth, he naturally knew the difference between the sailor and the foot soldier and the horse team, but he really couldn't come up with any words, and he could only talk about it as a cliché.

"Is the household department available?" Yang Gengai saw Cao Yubian bowing his head, with a bitter face, and asked Bi Ziyan again.

"The minister is here!" Bi Ziyan hurried out.

"Now that you want to help the Ryukyus restore the country, can you still have enough money in the household? How much can you come up with for military spending? Yang Reform asked, seeing Cao Yubian with his head down and a bitter face, Yang Reform directly blocked Cao Yubian's second reason, didn't you say that there was no money? Today's court is not the previous court, the previous court lived a bitter haha, now, do not expect all kinds of summer and autumn taxes, just the salt tax, first collected five million taels, the household can have a comfortable life, and now I still use this to prevaricate, I will not give face.

"Back to Your Majesty, the household is still abundant, and the summer tax is about to be put into the treasury, and it is still possible to take out four or five hundred thousand taels of silver coins for military expenses." Bi Ziyan immediately said, to be honest, Bi Ziyan doesn't know now, how to spend the silver he gets, the imperial court has always been used to living a hard life, didn't he tighten his belt to live that year? Now all of a sudden, I have become rich, for a while, I am not used to it, therefore, the money is piled up in Taicang in a daze, and part of it is deposited in the bank to eat interest, which can be regarded as a master of saving financial management.

"Oh! …… Does Cao Qing's family still have anything to say? Yang Reform sighed and looked at Cao Yubian with his eyes.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to say." Cao Yubian was very depressed, and agreed with a bitter face, although he wanted to stop the emperor, he really couldn't come up with any powerful words. In the past, money and people's power were used to put pressure on the emperor, but now it has no effect on this emperor. ,

"Does that secretary have anything to say?" Yang asked with dignity again.

The ministers hurriedly lowered their heads to avoid the emperor's edge.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." Han Yi felt that he still had to say something about the opposition, otherwise, he would be sorry for his identity as an opposition.

"Oh, what's going on with Han Qing's family? Just say it. Yang reformed.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that I am now at war with Dongyu, although I won a game, but Dongyu is now making a fuss again, just defeated Lin Dan Khan, and has the posture of a comeback, I think that before the Dongyu is decided, it is not appropriate to separate the forces of the sailors, nor is it appropriate to ......fight on both sides," Han Yi said.

"What does the military department say?" Yang asked again, and he didn't intend to answer himself.

"Back to Your Majesty, in fact, the naval division fought in the Dongyu, although it is very useful, but in fact, it is basically the transport ship in action, and the actual warship does not have much opportunity to play, such as helping the Ryukyus to restore the country, and only needs to separate a fleet from the Beiyang Naval Division, thinking that the Eastern Naval Division has no boats to go to sea, more warships, fewer warships, there is no problem, if Your Majesty feels that the strength of the Beiyang Naval Division is not enough, you can also transfer some warships from Zheng Zhilong......" Sun Chengzong had to come out and said, between words, There was some reluctance, but the emperor wanted him to say it, and he couldn't say it.

Yang Reform also doesn't want Sun Chengzong to come out directly to fight with the Wenchens, no matter what, between himself and the Wenchen, Sun Chengzong is still a link, if Sun Chengzong is directly pushed out to participate in the fight, many things, it may be irretrievable, although Yang Reform knows that there is a life-and-death struggle between the Wenchens, but he also has to leave some thoughts for the Wenchens, and do things, or leave a line.

In this Ming Dynasty, in addition to ruling the country by civil officials, can it also govern the country by martial arts? Except for the emperor, the one in charge of the armed forces of the Ming Dynasty can only be Wenchen, some bottom line, Yang Reform and Wenchen fight, and do not want the martial artists to be in charge of the highest armed forces, if the martial arts are in charge of the armed forces of the entire Ming Dynasty, this matter is really no bottom line, and it is also infinitely poisonous, Yang Reform has really never considered it, and it is unimaginable, Sun Chengzong is such a bottom line...... Yang Reform has always hoped that Sun Chengzong will be a more neutral bottom line, It is not too much or not directly involved in the fight between himself and Wenchen, and sets up a relatively neutral attitude between himself and Wenchen, telling Wenchen that no matter how he fights, the emperor still believes in Wenchen, at least he will not ride on Wenchen's head,...... The severity of this, how to pinch it, Yang Gai felt that it was quite troublesome. But now, Sun Chengzong temporarily acted as the secretary of the military department, and he could only let Sun Chengzong come out and say a few words, thinking of this, Yang Reform was irritable again, Liu Tingyuan was too angry, he had to wipe his ass if he cleaned his own business.

"Well, Master Sun has a point. Does Han Qing's family still have questions? Yang Reform said with some unhappiness.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to say......" Han Yi also came out with a face, and he was ready to collect his troops, for what he promised a year ago, he is now opposed, there is really no reason, where is the emperor's face to be placed? Where is this called the face of the Ming Dynasty?

"And that Qing family has something to say?" Yang Reform asked again, thinking that the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War had to be represented by Sun Chengzong for a while, Yang Reform was irritable again, and his tone became more and more unkind.

The ministers were silent, seeing that the emperor's face was not so good, and this matter was decided a year ago, so there was nothing to say, and it was really boring to provoke the emperor to get angry and be scolded. Now that things don't make sense, fighting with the emperor is really impossible to fight.

"Since you have nothing to say, then it is decided, and the General Staff will plan to see how to help the Ryukyu Kingdom recover, and Master Sun will be responsible for the details." Yang Reform said with some unhappiness.

"Command!" Sun Chengzong came out and replied.

Although this thing is done, the Beiyang Naval Division is about to go out, but the irritability in Yang Reform's heart has not decreased much, Sun Chengzong is the bottom line and benchmark set by himself, and it is not a big problem to occasionally stand on his side and say it, but if he stands up and helps himself speak like this every day, it is inevitable that he will be remembered by others, and it is inevitable that he will fight with others, if Sun Chengzong is attacked and falls, then this matter will be troublesome, and then establish a bottom line, who will be it? Apparently there is no one to replace? Once there is no bottom line, the Ming Dynasty's actions may exceed their expectations, and the situation may get out of control. Thinking about Sun Chengzong in history, there have been several ups and downs, and Yang Reform, who has always avoided Sun Chengzong from participating in the battle, is really in a bad mood. ,

Everyone saw that the emperor's face had deteriorated, but they couldn't see the situation more and more clearly, and many people muttered in their hearts. Didn't the emperor fulfill his wishes? You should be smiling, no matter how bad you are, you should pretend to be calm, why is this look? Doesn't it look like it's pretended? So what was it that worried the Emperor so much? Or even irritable? Could it be that the emperor himself did not like this, or that this was not the emperor's conspiracy?

Not only Cao Yubian, Han Yi and others couldn't understand the emperor's thoughts, but even the people of the imperial party couldn't understand what the emperor was thinking.

Yang Reform was unhappy for a while, and there was no good way to deal with Sun Chengzong's matter, so he could only put this matter aside.

"By the way, when it comes to sending troops to the Ryukyus to drive out the Wa Kingdom, I have one thing in mind." Yang Gai said irritably, with some unkindness in his tone.

The ministers are becoming more and more unclear, which is this singing?

"Your Majesty, please?" Shi Fenglai immediately took over the conversation.

"I remember that when Li Zhizao, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, hired the Yiren fleet last year, he promised the leader of the Yiren to help him go to the Wa Kingdom to ask for a son, right? Is there such a thing? Yang said impatiently.

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter is indeed there, Li Zhizao, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, Li Zhenzhi did report this matter, saying that it was one of the conditions for hiring the Yiren fleet, last year, His Majesty did promise the Yiren, saying that when I vacate my hand, I will help him get his son back, and even send a fleet to send him there, of course, there is also a premise, that is, the Yiren are willing to seriously teach me the Daming Navy, and I am willing to help my Daming Sailor fight the Dongyu, and I have to make a move, that is, my Daming will win the Dongyu to count...... I think that the people of Nayi do have some skills, and they really help me Daming, in the battle of Zhenjiang Fort last year, the battleship can play a big role......" Shi Fenglai immediately replied. Of course, who would have thought at that time that Donglu was so unbeaten, and after only a year of hard work, the invincible Dongyu would not dare to approach the coast......

Cao Yubian's face immediately turned black, why was it last year? How much did the emperor do last year? Do you want to do it this year? The more Cao Yubian thought about it, the more angry he became, how could this be?

Han Yi's face also turned dark, he really didn't know what to say about the emperor about this, could it be that the emperor must know that he would be able to clean up the emperor this year? He also knew about this last year, and said at that time that the emperor had a thick face and a black heart, and what could he do to help him get his son back, and if he could free his hand, that is, Dongyu did not dare to approach the sea, that is, Dongyu was afraid of being beaten and did not dare to come up again. Dongyu was scared of being beaten in a year, and this matter was put on hold last year, who believes it? But now? Han Yi's face turned black rapidly, I don't know whether to praise the emperor for his clever strategy, or if this is too much of a coincidence, looking at the current form, the emperor seems to be going to make trouble.

When everyone heard the emperor say this, their faces were black when they knew, and they were dazed when they didn't know, and they were even more dazed when they saw that everyone was black-faced, but I heard that it was said by Li Zhizao, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and it is estimated that it is also true.

"Since I agreed, he also did it, and now the sailor is just going to help the Ryukyu Kingdom recover, so by the way, go and help him have a son, if I agree, I can't break the contract, let alone break my promise...... Yang Gai said again.

……

The ministers all over the land have black faces and don't know what to say, object? This was said last year, and there is also Li Zhizao, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, as a guarantee, and Xu Guangqi from the line, and the elders of the central cabinet participated, if this matter is said to be the emperor's bureau, it is too much, if you want to say that it is not a bureau, but who believes it? RO@。
