The government and the opposition were panicked, and Zheng Kezhang himself felt that something was wrong. You must know that whether it is the establishment of the meritorious people's association or the refinement of government responsibilities, it is an effort to establish a constitutional system of separation of powers for the monarch to rule in the future, but in order to achieve the goal of returning power to the people, in the process of implementation, Zheng Kezhang had to use the means of strengthening the dictatorship of the imperial power, which is contrary to the goal, which made him feel a lot of frustration, so that he had to reflect on what his crossing had changed.

In the midst of serious reflection, time entered the eighteenth year of Wucheng. However, the New Year has not yet passed, and the successive alarms cast an ominous shadow over the year.

The first news came of the Sulu War, because the Sulu people and the Spaniards had fought a war for more than 100 years, so whether it was the artillery bombardment of the Xia army or the 6 upper purging of the inner and outer domains, the Sulu people hid in Mindanao and insisted on fighting, and the war was about to become prolonged.

Then Annam and Vietnam also came the news of the great uprising of the Lao people - Lao was divided by the five surrounding countries for more than ten years, during which small-scale rebellions and uprisings were not interrupted, but fortunately, these rebellions and uprisings were independent and scattered, and they were easily suppressed by various countries, and did not cause major losses. However, this fragile stability changed with the continuous migration of Annam and Vietnam to the Zhongliao and Xialiao regions and the development of land reform and resettlement, and the old Lao nobles gradually became more and more difficult to live on their own, and the idea of getting rid of the rule of Annam and Vietnam was born. The Liao Tusi Wenna of the Lao nationality in the Najib area of Savan Naji led the troops to eliminate a regiment of the Imperial Forest Army of the Nguyen Dynasty that came to encircle and suppress in one fell swoop, which caused a sensation in the entire Central and Xialiao areas, and the restoration of the armed forces gathered one after another, and for a time the rule of the Nguyen Dynasty in Xialiao showed signs of collapse, and before the Annan side gloated, Wenna's department took the initiative to cross the Nantong River and entered Zhongliao, Lianktaven, Chuankhouang and other important towns, causing Vientiane and other places to shake, and the Vietnamese side has not eased up, Wenner led his troops back to Xialiao to capture several major towns in a row, which completely shook the rule of Vietnam in Xialiao, and has a great posture of turning over the Changshan Mountains and smashing Fuchun.

In the face of the Lao uprising in full swing, although Annam and Vietnam repeatedly dispatched troops and horses to suppress it, the Lao rebel army was active in the dense jungle and could not be completely eradicated.

For the Chinese officials and people, Sulu is only a small country, and the turmoil in Laos has no sign of affecting Beiliao Province, so the government and the opposition who heard about this matter at first glance thought that it was just a mustard problem, but Zheng Kezhang unusually convened several ministers for discussion after reading the report submitted by the Privy Council.

"The southern islands of Luzon have complex terrain and are hot and humid, so they are not a good place to use soldiers, so the idea of Lord Lu and Master Ma to call in the feudal army is not wrong." In the past seventeen years of Wucheng, the Privy Council has also undergone a major change, Feng Hui, Tang Baoyi, Yang Bokang, Xi Daping veterans have died successively, and now the privy envoy is Yin Mintong, but this is not young, so he is just a transitional figure. "It's just that the strength of the feudal soldiers is limited, and it is not appropriate to form a joint force scattered on the islands."

"I'm afraid that after clearing this island, the Sulu people will infiltrate the other island, making the court tired." Although the soldiers were used, they also had to pay money, so Chen Dunwen, the secretary of the military department, was afraid that there would be too many dreams at night. "The minister's intention is to increase the army and pacify Sulu as much as possible."

"Reinforcements?" Yin Mintong asked rhetorically. "If there are more troops in Sulu, what will happen to the Lao side? In the past, Annam and Vietnam were respectful, and they promised to transfer troops one by one several times, but now they have something to ask the imperial court, and the imperial court must not chill the hearts of the two countries, not to mention that the imperial court will continue to use the soldiers and horses of the two countries in the future. ”

Speaking of which, if it weren't for Huaxia's call on Annam and Vietnam to lead the garrison of Laos when the war with the Dutch United East India Company began, this chaos would probably have been suppressed at the beginning of the chaos, so Chen Dunwen, who understood the cause and effect, replied in a calm tone: "Annam and Vietnam are also going to send troops." ”

"Where's the soldier?" After the latest restructuring of the Xia Army, the town army only undertook the task of garrisoning and mobile combat in the province, and as for the field troops, most of them were concentrated in Huguang, northwest, northeast, Khalkha, and Beihai directions, and there were very few field troops in the south, and the field army in the southwest had to keep an eye on Burma, so it was not easy to call on them at all. "I'm afraid that the Long Xiang army will not be able to drive into the mountains to fight."

"Isn't there still a Divine Army?" Chen Dunwen said. "The abbot clan has not yet moved south, and the Shence army of these forty-seven regiments can be transferred to the battlefield of Laos first." Although each regiment of the Shence Army had 100 fewer men than the Xia Army's economic regiment, the 47 regiments also had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and once they were put into battle, they would inevitably have an overwhelming advantage. "I think it won't take a few months for the rebellion in Laos to be quelled, and it won't be a mistake in the major event of the division of the clan."

Zheng Kezhang knew that Chen Dunwen's later words were explained to himself, but before he could speak, Cai Tong, the newly appointed minister of the Yamen Conference Office, asked: "Who will bear the cost of these 30,000 soldiers and horses, but this year's war expenses ??????."

Chen Dunwen said categorically: "The imperial court sent troops to rescue Annam and Vietnam, of course, this money must be borne by them, not to mention that the imperial court used the soldiers and horses of the two countries at the beginning It was also paid by the imperial court, and there were many rewards afterwards, even if you don't expect the two countries to have gratitude afterwards, but the war expenses are borne by the two countries is also in line with the precedent." ”

Chen Dunwen is considered to be poor, but think about it, if he doesn't even want to pay military spending, why should Huaxia help the two countries maintain their rule in Laos, but it is clear that Cai Tong is worried about the financial situation of the two countries: "The war in Laos is very expensive, but I am afraid that the two countries will not be able to make ends meet for a long time, how can they have the spare power to supply the needs of the army of this dynasty." ”

Zheng Kezang's gaze fell on Pan Zheng, the deputy minister of the Governor's Yamen: "What does Pan Qing think? ”

"The minister thinks that Fuyuan's small character is the duty of the imperial court as the suzerain." Pan Zheng first suppressed and then raised. "But the imperial court also has the difficulties of the imperial court, now the army is used on three sides, the imperial court has limited financial resources, and it is a priority to solve the difficulties of Annam and Vietnam, the two countries should be willing to provide a supply of food and equipment, of course, the two countries may not have this money, it doesn't matter, the imperial court can find merchants to lend to them, as long as the two countries are willing to use the two mines of Chongqing and Shixi and the tariffs and salt taxes of the two countries as a guarantee."

Zheng Kezhang suddenly showed a smile: "Qing's construction is very good, if this dynasty doesn't say anything and doesn't want to send tens of thousands of troops to help, I'm afraid that the monarchs and ministers of the two countries will be happy on the surface, but they will be frightened, it is better to say the conditions in advance and know what to pay, so that the two countries will not be secretly hindered." ”

Huaxia sent reinforcements, but the recipient countries in turn added to the chaos, if ordinary people listened, they might think that it was nonsense, but the important ministers present were all fought in the sea, none of them were good at stubble, and naturally knew the truth that good people are difficult to do, so no one thought that what Zheng Kezhang said was wrong.

The matter of Laos was settled for the time being, but Yin Mintong mentioned the old words again: "After transferring the forty-seventh regiment of the Shence Army to Laos, where did the reinforcements from Sulu come from, it may not be necessary to continue to transfer the Shence Army under the Protectorate of the Protectorate." ”

With the experience of Annam and Vietnam, it is not a good option to demolish the east wall and make up the west wall, but if you don't transfer the Shence army, you can only transfer the Long Xiang army, which will cost more, and second, the soldiers and horses of the Long Xiang army are limited and cannot be put into the long war in Mindanao for a long time.

Chen Dunwen blinked, and said to Zheng Kezang: "Chen Tiyì will form ten new Divine Ce Legions. ”

"I'm just afraid that it won't be urgent." Zheng Kezhang didn't care about the cost of training 6,500 Shence troops, but the problem was that training troops took time, and it would take more than half a year to say the least, but the Sulu war dragged on for half a year, so the cost couldn't be stopped.

Chen Dunwen reminded: "Holy Lord, Lord Lu Weijun Lu asked for redemption of hundreds of sailors before. ”

"Yes, the Spanish minister did pay for the purchase of some of the sailors of the United East India Company." Zheng Kezhang said suddenly. "Qing shouldn't mean to release the captives that Hongyi didn't buy, this is also a way, many of them are veterans of war, if they are obedient or can be used, they are just put into the mine before, and they will be raised for a while."

"It will take a month or two to raise soldiers, but it will be shorter than the time for emergency conscription from Japan." Yin Mintong also understood. "It's just that military spending is still not small, and it will be a problem to settle in the future."

"It's easy to do." Zheng Kezhang clapped his head. "The war expenses of the internal and external feudal clans that participated in the previous war are to be paid by themselves, and once they should be captured, they will also belong to the feudal clans, and if they are not enough to pay off, they will be compensated with captured slaves after the newly formed Shence army is put into battle."

Plundering people as slaves is not good for Zheng Kezang's reputation, but Zheng Kezang has also done more outrageous things, so the ministers did not dare to persuade them, but Prime Minister Lin Weirong admonished: "I am afraid that there is a risk of backlash, after all, it is not my race." ”

"According to Lin Qing, the Divine Strategy Army is not my race, and I can't use any of them?" Now there are nearly 80,000 Shence troops in the south alone, and this is not counting the part of the Mongolian volunteer army that will be incorporated after the rectification, so Zheng Kezhang said with some disapproval. "Lin Qing is too cautious, if it weren't for the fact that those Oros captives had not been taught a lesson and did not know how to turn into, I would have even intended to use them to enrich the ranks of the sect domain." Looking at Lin Weirong, who was about to argue, Zheng Kezhang emphasized again. "The ancestors expanded from the banks of the Yellow River to Kyushu in the world, what did they rely on, it was nothing more than the sea to embrace all rivers, and now I also have the heart of this sea to accept all rivers, and I am also ready to achieve a dignified and prosperous world, Qing and others think it."

A group of courtiers hurriedly knelt on the ground and praised in unison: "The ministers are willing to follow the Holy God to open ten thousand years of peace." ”

Zheng Kezang: "Get up." ”

The ministers got up obediently, and listened to Zheng Kezang's words: "Sulu and Laos are both mustard troubles, but the military and political affairs in the north are important priorities, and the Oros country is also a big country in the world, so I am afraid that it will not be so easy to admit defeat, and it will be properly planned??????"
