Zhang Li smiled slightly, a ray of light flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "The world is undecided, how can it be possible if you don't want to fight?" ”

Kang Xing'an fell silent, bowing his head and thinking about what Zhang Li said. After a while, Kang Xing'an raised his head and said to Zhang Li: "My lord, Emperor Wu's repeated use of troops against the Xiongnu has caused the country to be overwhelmed and the people are not happy, which is contrary to what you said about hiding wealth from the people. But you also said that now that the world is in turmoil, it is absolutely impossible to do without soldiers, so how to solve it? ”

Zhang Zhang smiled and said: "My original intention was to develop maritime trade and play the Age of Discovery-well, it's far away." It seems that the benefits of Haimao are limited now, unless we can kill Zheng Zhilong and replace him. But this is still a bit far away, so don't think about it for now. So if we don't collect money from the common people now, how can we maintain and expand our military strength? ”

Kang Xing'an's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and said excitedly: "Do you mean to find someone to report the account?" ”

"Hahaha-" Zhang Li laughed and looked at Kang Xing'an with appreciation, but another sentence came out of his mouth: "War is the continuation of politics, and politics is the continuation of the economy." In the final analysis, someone still does the business of killing heads, and no one does the business of losing money! ”

Kang Xing'an nodded and said: "If you want to occupy the Iwami Silver Mountain of the Wa Kingdom, do you want to find the Wa people to reimburse the food and salary?" ”

Zhang Zhang shook his head, glanced at Kang Xing'an meaningfully, and said in a deep voice: "The Japanese invaded the southeast during the Jiajing period and invaded Korea during the Wanli period. Remember, the Tuanshan Army never does anything to invade other countries! Let's just say that right now, let's fight the Tartars in Korea. It's really high! If it weren't for the Korean King Yi Ju licking his face and kneeling and begging, would I have come to this place to help them fight?! ”

Kang Xing'an smiled knowingly. His mind was full of the white flowers and silver sent by the king of Joseon years ago: "What my lord said is very true, this small country and my regiment are not interested. ”

Zhang Li's eyes deepened. Said slowly: "Send an envoy to the Wa Kingdom to ask for war reparations." ”

After a pause, Zhang Zhang continued: "Jiajing Nian's crime will pay us 50 million taels of silver, and Wanli Nian's matter will pay us 100 million taels - ah, no, 200 million!" ”

Zhang Zhang suddenly remembered that the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" seemed to have lost 200 million in the Qing Dynasty, so he immediately changed his tune. Kang Xingan smacked his tongue and said: "My lord, you are knocking on the bamboo!" Our annual tax payment in the Ming Dynasty is only more than 10 million taels, how can this widow afford to pay it? ”

Zhang Zhang smiled and said, "Anyway, whatever I say about the silver." They won't give a single child. The Japanese have always bullied the weak and feared the hard, and what I said was nothing more than a reason to attack Iwami Province. ”

Kang Xing'an seems to understand a little, Lord Zhang is not going to destroy the Wa Kingdom, but is only interested in the silver of the Wa Kingdom! If there is a "reimbursement of military expenses" by the Korean and Japanese states, the people of Liaodong can enjoy extremely low taxes, which is what Zhang said, "hiding the wealth from the people".

"However, the Korean state and the Japanese state should still be treated differently, and the Korean country can be pulled as a junior brother, so the Japanese country should be a coolie. Anyway, the common people also worked as coolies for the shoguns of the Tokugawa shogunate. Zhang Zhang added that it would determine the fate of these two countries in the future......

Kang Xingan nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "That's how it should be." Morally speaking, we can stand up to it! The state of Korea is seeking the protection of the Tuan Mountain Army. Naturally, there is a price to pay. And the Wa Kingdom used to burn and loot in Daming, but later saw that he couldn't beat Qi Jiguang, so he slapped his ass and left without paying the silver. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Moreover, they also launched a war of aggression against Korea, and our Ming Dynasty also killed and wounded many soldiers. This account must be counted on their heads, and they must be paid! ”

Zhang Zhang let out a soft "um". And he stopped talking, and began to think again.

Now to fight the Japanese country, there is no need to talk about national hatred and family hatred, everything is due to interests. Liaodong is now in the Xiaoice period, and it is absolutely impossible to support a large-scale war by relying on agriculture, and industry is now only in its infancy, and it will take some time to form high profits. Therefore, the Iwami Silver Mountain, which controls the Wa Kingdom, holds one-third of the world's silver production in his hands, which is the landlord who fights and grabs a good card of four two and four A's, how can he lose if he wants to lose? .

The biggest danger of Tuanshan Fort at present is also here, the more Li Li develops the modern army, the more it needs financial support.

Zhang Zhang touched his nose and said to Kang Xing'an: "As long as the Zheng family does not interfere in the landing of our regimental mountain army in the Wa Kingdom, I will definitely take down the Ishimi Silver Mountain." The only thing to worry about is whether the Japanese state will gather a large number of troops to fight our army? ”

Kang Xing'an fell into deep thought, although he was not suitable for fighting, he also wanted to become "Wuxia Ameng", so he was also working hard to improve his strategic level.

People will always grow, and through hard work, it is not impossible for Anzi to become a qualified staff officer in the future, uh, no, staff!

Now the situation is not complicated, if the Korean war regiment mountain army wins a complete victory, the Tartars will definitely be greatly damaged, and there will be no threat in the short term. Zhang Zhang originally planned to send troops to the Japanese country after the Korean affair, and then talk about it after occupying Iwami Silver Mountain. However, the war mobilization capability of the Japanese state should not be underestimated, and it was far 10 times stronger than that of the Korean state.

What the Tuanshan Army is most afraid of is being dragged into a protracted war by the Wa State and cannot withdraw, and now the situation in the Daming Pass is bad, and the main force of the Tuanshan Army must not be pinned down in the Wa State for a long time.

Kang Xing'an thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "My lord, my subordinates feel that the Tartars have risen in Liaodong, and there is one thing that I hate in the Ming Dynasty, but if you think about it from the perspective of the Tartars, they have indeed done a good job......

"Oh?" Zhang Li's eyes deepened, and he glanced at Anzi meaningfully, and asked, "You say." ”

Kang Xing'an lowered his head, looked at his nose and nose, and said in a low voice: "Han Army Banner!" ”

Zhang Li was stunned, and immediately asked, "Han Junqi?!" ”

Kang Xing'an nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

There was silence in the carriage, the atmosphere was slightly awkward, and the tension of the "Han Army Flag" that Anzi said couldn't be clearer.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, glanced at Kang Xing'an with satisfaction, and said, "You are right, I know how to take Iwami Silver Mountain without falling into the quagmire of war in the Wa Kingdom!" ”

Kang Xing'an raised his head and saw that Zhang Li's eyes were full of appreciation, not to mention how happy he was. (To be continued.) )
