Several people glanced at Wang Chengen, and a touch of worry suddenly flashed on their faces, and Liu Yijing, a scholar of the first assistant university in the cabinet, said: "Princess, is the emperor in poor health?" Do you want to send the Imperial Doctor? ”

Looking at the nervous looks of several people, Wang Cheng smiled and said, "Your Excellency, you are too worried, there is nothing wrong with the emperor's body. It's just that the state affairs have been busy recently, and the emperor has worked too hard and is a little tired. Originally, the emperor wanted to take a break, but the cabinet handed over an excerpt, and the emperor ordered our family to find your lords. But in such a short time, the emperor fell asleep, and the emperor was indeed too tired! Nubei didn't know if it was an urgent matter, but Nubei felt that let the emperor take a break, after all, nothing was as important as the emperor's dragon body, I don't know what the adults think? ”

The eyes of several people were focused on Liu Yijing, a scholar of the first assistant university in the cabinet, with a little doubt on his face, especially several ministers of military aircraft.

"Master Liu, the old man doesn't ask what the matter is, and he knows what your difficulties are, but the old man wants to know if the matter is urgent? If it's urgent, it can only wake up the emperor, if not, let the emperor have a good rest, let's wait here! Wang Gonggong is right, the emperor's dragon body is naturally the most important. It was Sun Chengzong who spoke, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were only staring at Liu Yijing.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Liu Yijing spread his hands and said helplessly: "A few adults, the cabinet did send in a batch of excerpts just now, but there is really nothing urgent. As for why the emperor summoned us and others, this cabinet does not know, but since the emperor is resting, we still can't bother. ”

"Since all of you think so, then please go to the side hall to rest, and our family will arrange for someone to serve tea to you. Recently, there have been a lot of state affairs, and you must be very tired, drink some good tea to refresh your mind, and discuss with the emperor for a while! Wang Chengen said to everyone with a smile, while leading the way in front.

I don't know how long I slept this night, and by the time the Emperor of the Apocalypse woke up, the midday sun had already begun to set. He sat up straight, rubbed his dizzy head, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, which was just warm. Raising his head and looking around, the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw Wang Chengen standing not far away, and there was no one else waiting in the hall.

"Wang Chengen, how long have I been asleep?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't ask Wang Chengen why he didn't call himself, because that didn't make sense.

"Back to the emperor, it's less than an hour, I don't know if the emperor wants to eat? Slavery, let people prepare! Wang Chengen looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse and asked.

With a wave of his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Wang Chengen and said, "Are a few Aiqing here?" Find it! I have something to consult with them. ”

"Back to the emperor, all the adults are waiting in the side hall, and the slave will summon him!" Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse insisted, Wang Chengen turned around and walked towards the side hall.

It didn't take long for several scholars and ministers of military aircraft in the cabinet to walk in, and when they saw that the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was good, several people were relieved. After saluting the Emperor of the Apocalypse, several people stood respectfully on that side.

Without saying anything, the Emperor of the Apocalypse turned his gaze to Wang Chengen, who was on the side, and ordered: "Let people bring some brocade dun, several Aiqing are not young, let's sit and deliberate!" After everyone was seated, the Emperor of the Apocalypse spoke: "You Aiqing are in a hurry, right?" ”

"The emperor's dragon body Kangtai is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not enough to wait for a while!" Dingguo Gong was about to stand up, and when he saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse motioning for him to sit down, he opened his mouth and said.

Without dwelling too much on this matter, he stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of the fold, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "This fold was just handed over by the cabinet, and it was sent by the governor of Fujian, Shang Zhou Zuo, take a look!" As he spoke, he handed the fold to Wang Chengen.

Others didn't know what was going on, but Liu Yijing, a scholar of the first assistant university in the cabinet, knew very well in his heart that it was indeed this matter. Although the matter is not big, Liu Yijing guessed a thing or two about the thoughts of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

After everyone finished reading the recital, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, tell me what you think about this matter!" Now that the court is short of money, you Aiqing also know that this is also a way to make money. Today, I brought you Aiqing here, just hoping that you Aiqing can speak freely and not be restrained! ”

"Your Majesty, let's let the ministers talk about this matter first!" Liu Yijing, a scholar of the first assistant university of the cabinet, was the first to speak, with a bit of solemnity on his face.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, and said with a smile: "Then Aiqing will say it first!" ””

This incident actually began in the 33rd year of Wanli, and the minister remembered that it was July of the 33rd year of Wanli, when the Dutch invaded Penghu, cut down wood and built houses, and planned to live for a long time, and borrowed the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, Li Jin, Pan Li, and Guo Zhen to write to the imperial court. Xu Xueju, the governor of Fujian at that time, forbade the merchants to go to the sea, cut off their alms, and the Dutch had no food, so they left at the end of October. However, he later invaded Taiwan's land, built a house and cultivated the fields, and could not stay for a long time. Then he went out of Penghu and built a city to defend it in order to seek trade. Liu Yijing's tone was very flat, as if he was narrating a small matter, but everyone could feel a strong sense of shame from his tone.

As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, that nobility seems to be rooted in the bones, and he looks down on the people who are foreigners. Now these foreigners, who claim to be Dutch, actually dare to occupy the land of Penghu and act as a wolf, which is really unbearable.

However, in the past, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was wasted, and the imperial court sailors were even more vulnerable, even if Liu Yijing thought about anything, he could only put it in his heart. But now it's different, thinking of the Ming Dynasty Sea Master he saw, Liu Yijing's heart suddenly became active. Raising his head and looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Liu Yijing felt in his heart that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a feeling of being a mountain looking up.

However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse obviously didn't have the heart to comprehend Liu Yijing's reverent gaze, thought about it, and said: "On this recital, Fujian Governor Shang Zhou Zuo wrote his suggestions on this matter, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?" ”

Emperor Tianqi doesn't know much about this Fujian governor Shang Zhou Zuo, but the performance of the officials is still good. After watching this recital this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that this person was even better. In the recital, Shang Zhouzuo said a lot of nonsense, but in the end he said a solution. Let the Dutch be told if they destroy the cities they had built in Penghu and Liu, and withdraw from these two lands. Then send people to the capital to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and finally be allowed to trade.

Perhaps in everyone's opinion, these Dutch people are beyond their means, and if they want to force the Ming Dynasty to switch, they are simply laughing after watching it. Although the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty has been greatly eased after the opening of Longqing, the main object of trade is the Franky people. In the Ming Dynasty, there were also many Francis, namely Spanish and Portuguese.

The famous Franky cannons and Hongyi cannons in the Ming Dynasty were all from these people's hands, and now there are many Franky people in the capital, and even many of them were deliberately found by the Emperor of the Apocalypse. In this era, the business at sea was very complicated, but the powerful Portugal and Spain were not able to switch by force in the Ming Dynasty, but did business honestly.

Although there was a conflict with the Portuguese, it was the Ming Dynasty that won every time, and now is not the era of the Opium War.

Since he thought of this matter, the Emperor of the Apocalypse quickly churned two names in his heart, and these two people were still a father and son. These two people are the only bright spots on the Ming Sea in this era, Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong. In this era, although Zheng Zhilong started as a bandit and supported the army with self-respect, he still had a very high evaluation of Zheng Zhilong in history. As for his son Zheng Chenggong, he has risen directly to the level of a national hero.

Throughout the late Ming Dynasty, the Zheng father and son contributed a lot to the invasion from the sea, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they were national heroes. Before the crossing, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a very good impression of the father and son, and at this moment, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, as the emperor, should have hated Zheng Zhilong. However, in the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he did not think so at this moment.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Shang Zhouzuo's opinion is not unreasonable, after all, this matter did not happen just now, and it is also the right thing to salute first and then soldier!" It was Sun Chengzong who spoke, if Sun Chengzong had said such things before, but now it is obviously different.

The Ming Dynasty will soon be able to have its own powerful fleet, think of the power of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, the Ming Dynasty is rampant on the sea. Thinking of being able to restore the glory of that time, Sun Chengzong felt excited in his heart. As for the Dutchmen who show off their might, in Sun Chengzong's view, they are grasshoppers after the autumn, and they will not be able to jump for a few days. Once the warships of the Ming Dynasty are built, they are trampled to death.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse also nodded slowly, he did not agree with Sun Chengzong's words, but it would indeed take some time for the navy of the Ming Dynasty to become an army. It doesn't hurt to be able to delay with the Dutch. The Emperor of the Apocalypse can be said to be very clear about the thoughts of the Dutch, and these countries that occupy colonies all over the world want their ceremonial diplomacy, which is impossible.

The people of the Ming Dynasty looked down on them, and they also looked down on the people of the Ming Dynasty, and for their own pagans, they wanted to turn this place into a colony. The Emperor of the Apocalypse who came from later generations knew very well that in order to obtain an equal position in front of these countries, what was needed was very simple, that is, strength.

But how to let them know that they have strength, now that the Emperor of the Apocalypse has a plan, these Dutch people happen to be the objects of his prestige. As for the method, it is actually very simple, that is, beat him, beat him until he is afraid! (To be continued.) )
