The Chinese People's Republic has a prince, and this prince has brought back a lot of gold in a distant foreign country, and this matter cannot be concealed.

People always like to show off what they have seen and heard, and in the process of showing off, they always like to exaggerate. Originally, it was four tons of gold back, but it became ten tons of gold after leaving the Burmese province to Sichuan and Guangxi; When they arrived in Huguang and Chang'an, they unknowingly became 100 tons of gold; When I arrived in Beijing, it had turned into hundreds of tons of gold, which made everyone feel that the sky was thundering, and they would be speechless for a while.

Everyone knows that there is definitely something wrong with this number, but everyone is passing on the gold back, so naturally it can't go wrong. And this amount, I'm afraid it's not a few.

Chongzhen drooled...... Of course, it was not in public or drooling in private, but that he was really envious, jealous and hateful at the moment.

Daming's finances have always had such and such problems, and after the reform was finally carried out, the financial situation has improved, but there is always a feeling that there is no way to sway, just like wearing a ...... Ahem, I just can't show it, not to mention how worrying.

"Is there so much gold overseas?" Chongzhen sniffed Li Luo very entangledly.

"Gold is naturally available everywhere, just a little bit." Li Luo replied very blandly.

"Then why can't we go to sea?" Chongzhen is really entangled.

"Unless we can avoid the blockade of the Navy of the Southern Republic." Li Luo was also helpless.

"We are so aggrieved, watching the republic get bigger and bigger, and we can only follow closely behind, endangering ourselves every day?" Chongzhen was really a little stunned.

"You can't go south, you can't go north. According to the minister's detailed report in the Wa Kingdom, the silver and gold mines on Wajima seem to be quite abundant. It's better to cheapen Zheng Zhilong and the Manchu Qing than to cheapen ourselves. Moreover, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty no longer has Huang Taiji, with the succession of the little emperor Fulin, it has temporarily settled down, and at the same time, it is also obsessed with attacking us. This time, we used troops against the Republic, and if we hadn't dragged them down, maybe we would have been able to regain some of the lost territory......" Li Luo replied truthfully.

"yes, it's not a good thing to leave them alone. Let's go back and let the National Assembly give a charter, and we should discuss and discuss how to completely eliminate the regime and nation that is in the way! Hmph, clear, water virtue. Ming, Huode, so ambitious! "It can be seen that Chongzhen is also obsessed with the word 'Qing'.

The members of Congress also know about the large amount of gold that the Republic has earned overseas. Since Chongzhen officially reformed the administrative model, he has rarely gone to court in general non-important situations, mainly to accompany children at home, read books and newspapers, or something. Now that I have come to the meeting, the only answer is what needs to be announced.

And what can be announced at this time is naturally related to the fact that the republic has earned a sum of gold.

Sure enough, as soon as Chongzhen came to power, he said to everyone: "I heard that our neighbor has made a lot of money recently? Eighty thousand taels of gold, this is the exact number we got from Jinyiwei. Guys, what do you think about this? ”

"Your Majesty, the finances are in a difficult situation, and you can't afford to build a navy. Besides, in this vast sea, we lack charts, and when we go to sea, we are simply blind, and if we lose all of them if we don't do it, it won't be good. The Minister of Finance said pitifully.

It seems that he thought that Chongzhen was going to build an ocean-going fleet again, trying to break through the maritime blockade of the republic.

"I don't want to go to sea to explore, but when we went to war with the Republic not long ago, did you remember who took advantage of this time to provoke us?" Chongzhen was also depressed at the moment, or a little dissatisfied with this group of courtiers who couldn't understand their intentions.

"Ever since this Tartar had a sea vessel, it has been going back and forth between Wajima, the Korean Peninsula and the mainland by sea, but it is as disgusting as a fly." Minister of Military Affairs Yang Changsi said.

"Speaking of which, how many seagoing vessels have we had lately? Those sea ships, and the navy above, can fight a water war with the Manchus? Chongzhen asked another question.

"Our recent firearms technology has also been greatly improved, especially in the casting of large-caliber guns. Both the rate of fire and the power have been greatly improved, and Weichen is confident that in the case of a confrontation at sea, our firearms can completely defeat the Tartars. But in terms of white-knuckle warfare, it ...... "Sun Yuanhua, Minister of Science and Technology, returned, Xu Guangqi's proud protégé, and it can be regarded as one of the legacies left by his old man to Daming."

Although, he himself is still alive and well at the moment......

"Our navy has been engaged with smugglers in the coastal waters many times, and it is already considered an elite in both artillery and close combat." Yang Changsi got up and replied.

"There are more than 20 ships on the sea side, but unfortunately there are no treasure ships, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to deter the opponent's fleet. Considering that a group of anti-smuggling ships should be left behind, if there is to be a war against the Tartars, then no more than fifteen ships can be mobilized! Navy Commander Zheng Chenggong got up and replied.

Yes, it is Zheng Chenggong, the son of Zheng Zhilong.

Seeing that Zheng Zhilong had completely become a minion of the Tartars, Zheng Chenggong, as a son, betrayed Zheng Zhilong with five sea ships and came to seek refuge in the Ming Dynasty when persuasion was fruitless. After the assessment and the actual competition, Zheng Chenggong served as the commander of the Ming Navy at the age of seventeen. These days, it can be regarded as a very competent job.

"How many sea ships do Tartar and Zheng Zhilong have?" Yang Changsi asked.

"It is conservatively estimated that there will be no less than 300 large and small ships." Zheng Chenggong smiled bitterly.

"There is no point in more, especially those small boats that are mainly used for white-knuckle warfare, so that our sea ships can directly hit them, and a large number of them can be killed." Li Luo has been by his side, and this is the first time he has made a comment on a formal setting.

"What does His Majesty mean, is he going to attack Wajima?" In this case, if you can't react, you are a fool.

How can anyone be a fool who can enter Congress?

"I heard that there is a lot of gold and silver in the Wa Kingdom, and it is really no problem to cheapen the tartars?" Chongzhen asked with interest.

"According to the survey, the reserves of Iwami Silver Mountain and Sado Gold Mountain are very rich, and there are many large and small mineral deposits in various places." Li Luo gives digital support.

"Speaking of which, didn't you say that the Tartars and the Japanese had done it? How's it going? "Someone immediately remembered that there seemed to have been such a report before.

"The Korean Peninsula is now the territory of the Tartars, and the royal family in it has died. Wajima is not optimistic, these Tartars can do anything, and they have killed a lot of Wajima. Although I don't care whether the Japanese are dead or alive, I can't bear to see them slaughtered by the Tartars. It has been heard that the emperors of the Wa Province and the shogunate of the shogunate have migrated to Mutsu, and there is a possibility that they may even move to Ezo (Hokkaido Island). Li Luo replied very calmly.

"Quite a few dead, right?" Some people listen to it as news.

"If the Japanese conservatively estimated that there were originally 10 million people, it would be good that 3 million people have survived. And among these three million people, I'm afraid that eighty percent of them are girls, strictly speaking, battalions. A prostitute or a maid in a Tartar house or something. Li Luo said with a smile.

"How many Tartars are there in the Wa Kingdom?" Yang Changsi finally asked a stern question.

"No more than 30,000!" Li Luo replied.

"It's done!" All the councillors, you look at me, I look at you, and they discussed each other for almost five minutes before they replied in unison.

Seeing that they finally nodded, Chongzhen smiled with satisfaction. According to his original idea, if he really didn't give Tongguò, he would use the imperial power of this year to destroy the Tartar at any cost. Of course, by the way, Zheng Zhilong will also be dealt with.

"In the coming days, we will attack the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Kingdom in two ways in the shortest possible time. It is true that our south is blocked by the republic, but we still have the north, and we want to turn the Japanese country and the Korean Peninsula into the backyard of our Ming Dynasty! Then, we will go south to attack Nanzhili, which is now the Great Wu State, and even recover Fujian and Guangdong if necessary. With such a three-point world (I don't know that Wei has surrendered), I don't have to worry too much about the attack of the republic. Chongzhen said his strategic vision for the future in front of everyone.

Obviously, everyone also thinks it makes sense, so the idea has hardly changed, and it has been followed by a smooth path.

As for the immediate priority, it is natural to quickly assemble a fleet and two marine units, and the fleet will be responsible for being transported by one marine unit to Wajima, and then it will be up to the free play of the marines. The other group set out from Liaodong and crossed the Yalu River to attack the Korean Peninsula directly. They have only one purpose, and that is to destroy the Qing!

Yes, that regime is too much of a hindrance for the Ming Dynasty!

After the Congress passed the guò, in a short period of time, the entire Ming Dynasty was like a sophisticated machine, running rapidly. An advanced political mode made everything more high-speed, and in just five days, including the fleet and the two troops, they were quickly prepared, and the baggage was also ready, just waiting for the order to pull.

Two armies, one led by Lu Xiangsheng, fought directly against the Tartars on the island; The other was commanded by Ma Xianglin and was responsible for the attack on the Korean Peninsula. At the same time, there was also a naval army, mainly composed of Zheng Chenggong and the former Zhao kings, responsible for dealing with the Manchu Qing who were cruising the sea, as well as Zheng Zhilong's fleet.

The task has been clear, the baggage has arrived, with Chongzhen's shouting in the Dianjiangtai, the generals took the people of the headquarters and saluted Chongzhen on the Dianjiangtai with a deep military salute, and then turned around and pulled out!
