Chapter 208: Time for the Dog and the Wolf!

Chapter 208 [Time for the Dog and the Wolf!] 】

In the past 30 years, the Japanese have bowed down to the Ming Dynasty and have been very honest, causing many ministers to forget how they showed their teeth and claws when they invaded Korea.

The ministers began to play one after another, saying that they could not watch Japan fall like Korea, which would seriously damage the interests of the Ming Dynasty. "Chongzhen" is too lazy to watch this kind of twist and turn. The fake eunuch Yin Ying sent someone to bring news to Ao Bai, hoping that he would come back as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation. As long as he is not in the court, he will be a little unable to control the situation. A group of literati in the Donglin Party wrote articles criticizing the social status quo every day, which made some people feel that it was necessary to save Japan.

After Ao Bai arranged the sailor, he returned to the capital with Li Yan. He informed the "Chongzhen" in the palace that he would go to the court two days later to discuss the matter of aiding Japan, but in fact, there was nothing to discuss, just to fight a war of words and suppress these ministers.

As soon as he came back, "Chongzhen" had confidence. He really isn't a material to be an emperor, and even if he is, he can only be a faint king. He played poker, mahjong, and the dice throwing monopoly chess invented by Ao Bai every day in the palace. Silver Eagle is working harder than him in reviewing and reading, and he is tired and almost impotent.

Aid Japan, that's impossible

The Japanese are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. In the future, when the American GIs beat Japan and cried for their fathers and mothers, and the atomic bombs killed more than 100,000 people in Japan, it did not dare to hate the United States, and it was like a dog in front of the United States.

China exempted Japan from war reparations after the war, and Japan was not grateful and still wanted the Diaoyu Islands, which was like a wolf in front of China.

So don't be merciful to Japan, when the Ming soldiers set foot on Japanese soil, it was when Japan became a ha-ba-dog.

The Japanese character is that if you don't live with your mother, it will never care if you call your father

The last dynasty has been changed to ten days and one up. If you have any ideas, just look at the folds. On major issues, Ao Bai consulted with the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet. The Donglin Party was almost excluded. After returning from the south, Ao Bai began to think about how to change the Donglin Party of the Sixth Department of Nanjing. There is still a group of pedantic people who control the government, and it is their consistent practice to have policies and countermeasures.

The first few times I went to the court, the main hall was very lively. A group of civil servants made a fuss about the war between Japan and the Netherlands. As a result, when Ao Bai came back and stopped there, everyone was much quieter.

In the past two months, I have not been accompanied by my wife, I haven't shaved my beard, and when I come back, my beard is erect, and I look like a Wolverine, and my brows are slightly furrowed.

However, the courtiers didn't know what he thought, and when "Chongzhen" asked what was going to be played, a few people still stood up and mentioned that Japan should be saved.

Han Yi, the elder of the Middle East Lin, said: "Japan has always been a vassal state of our Celestial Empire, and now that we have leveled Liao, there is no threat to the Central Plains, but if we don't help, it will inevitably make people feel cold." ”

Ao Bai stood up, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Lord Han, you said that you don't help Japan, who is cold?" ”

Han Yi Zhengse said: "Of course, it is a Japanese friend." ”

Ao Bai smiled: "Then are you cold?" ”

Han Yi said: "This ...... The old man thinks that not saving him when he sees death is against the way of the saint. ”

Seeing Ao Bai smiling, several Wenchen immediately followed suit.

Ao Bai restrained his smile and said coldly: "Is it against the way of the saint?" Let me tell you what the most chilling thing about the Japanese, they sent troops to attack Korea, wanting to occupy Korea as a springboard to plot the Central Plains, and the Wanli Emperor assisted Korea in eliminating 200,000 Japanese troops. When the Japanese returned from defeat and found that they were incapable of invading Korea and plotting against the Ming Dynasty, they were most chilled, did you think about what would happen if they won the war? Dear Bachelor? ”

Han Yi opened his mouth and didn't speak.

Ao Bai sneered: "All those ministers who have asked for support to Japan, and have good manners, now please answer my three questions, whoever says it." First, how much military money do we need to rescue Japan and fight this war with the Dutch, and who will pay for it? Second, how many soldiers did it take to defeat the Dutch, where did these Ming soldiers who died to save the Japanese come from, and who wanted to go? Third, what good would it do to the Celestial Empire by helping Japan defeat the Dutch? You can discuss it, answer it as soon as possible, and don't make the emperor wait too long. ”

Even if they don't speak, Ao Bai knows the answer, and the military spending must be from the Ming Dynasty, just like when he rescued North Korea. These people shouted all day long that they had no money, and it was already a miracle that they didn't ask Daming for food to live. Japan suffered heavy losses in the Korean War, and after the civil war, the economy was not much stronger. They might be able to defeat the Dutch, but that would provoke Dutch wrath and potentially lead to a large-scale war. Even if the Ming army wins, it will suffer heavy casualties. It also disrupted the plan to make Spain and the Netherlands war, would he do such a stupid thing? Helping Japan did not benefit the Ming Dynasty at all, at most a group of envoys came, pretending to worship the Ming Dynasty very much, and treating the Ming court officials as monkeys.

Aobai's thinking is very realistic, and allies should look for strong countries. The stronger, the better, and everyone cooperates and develops together. A filthy country that will only trouble people and take advantage of it, and if you help them more times, they will only develop the habit of dependence, and if you give them less aid one day, they will not only not thank you, but they will also blame you for not being righteous, and such a country will be destroyed as soon as possible. Counting on the gratitude of the insidious Japanese, it is better to go to Africa to help the kind cannibals.

The ministers really discussed, and with their pedantic brains, they couldn't analyze the superficial and realistic truth. Ao Bai felt that sometimes speaking to Wenchen was like playing the harp to a cow, and materialism and idealism were incompatible.

After a while, Han Yi put on a posture of risking death to admonish and be loyal, looked at "Chongzhen" and said: "Your Majesty, Korea has been lost, if Japan is lost again, our Celestial Dynasty vassal states will gradually lose control, and I want to pay tribute to the Tang and Song dynasties...... (omit nonsense three thousand)"

His meaning can be summarized as follows: For the sake of the face project of the Celestial Empire, it doesn't matter what the living standards of the people in the country are, and the affairs of friends outside have to be taken care of.

Ao Bai smiled and said to "Chongzhen": "Your Majesty, Weichen has a suggestion. ”

"Chongzhen" looked at his smile and knew that there was nothing good, and said with a smile: "Taifu, please speak." ”

Ao Bai Zhengse said: "In the end, I will not get any benefits in this war to aid Japan, and there are so many capable ministers who are strong-tempered, think about international friends, and are willing to help free of charge. It is better to give the people who propose to go to the rescue the power of soldiers and conscription, but the imperial court is only responsible for the salary of 2,000 people, because this is a volunteer army composed of people with lofty ideals, so it should negotiate with the Japanese, let them provide military pay and ordnance, and strive to develop the same scale as Mao Dudu (Mao Wenlong) Dongjiang Town. ”

"Chongzhen" clapped his hands and said, "This is a good idea. In the future, it will be much easier to trade with Japan. ”

Han Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, is 2,000 people too few?" Even if our army has a chain of crossbows and flintlock guns, it will be difficult to win? ”

Ao Bai said coldly: "Lord Han, you misunderstood, you can't use a chain crossbow in this battle. The chain crossbow is a secret of my Ming Dynasty, and if the Japanese want to introduce it, they must buy it at a high price. Whoever wants to leak the production method will first let these people see that their family members are being beheaded all over the house, and then a thousand cuts. Do we not only want to help Japan defeat the Dutch, but also let them know about our new weapons? If you feel that there are fewer people, you can recruit more soldiers, but the military salary and treasury are not responsible. ”

In the future, everything has to apply for patents and property rights, and what others want to learn in these years, the court will give away what they want, and they will not charge anything, which is really speechless.

The ministers were cold again. Conscription to save Japan, just 2,000 people's military salaries, no new weapons, completely unprofitable thing, seems to be to go to death.

Ao Bai said again: "Your Majesty, the last suggestion of Weichen is to let these ministers who care about Japanese friends lead their troops to fight this battle. If you let people who don't want to go fight, I'm afraid that the command will not be good. Good steel should be used on the blade, and people with lofty ideals will definitely be able to fight the enemy with all their strength with the Japanese allies. ”

Han Yi became anxious when he heard this, and said: "Lord Huang, what do you mean by this, we are all civil servants and don't know how to fight, if we are asked to recruit troops to aid Japan, how can this battle be won?" ”

A group of people also began to oppose it. The unified slogan is "The emperor must not think twice like this."

Ao Bai laughed, and his voice resounded through the hall. He narrowed his eyes, pointed at a group of Wenchen and scolded: "You stupid donkeys, you waste also know that you can't fight by playing tricks and firing guns with your mouths?" It is the generals who fight, and the ordinary soldiers who sacrifice, so what do you mean? Just for the sake of you bad old men's cheeky and two-skinned faces, let the soldiers of the Ming Army sacrifice their precious lives to help the Japanese miscellaneous? They can fight, why can't you go? I don't know what benefits you have received from the Japanese envoys, don't let Jinyiwei find out, otherwise I can guarantee that you will live rather than die."

Ao Bai slowly walked up to several old ministers, pointed at them unceremoniously, and said, "You, you, and you...... I've seen your recitals, hurry up and write a book, please quit and get out. Don't sit in a high position and don't get down to business. Mention this kind of death-seeking advice again, and I will grant your wishes! Actually, I'd love to kick you to death right now. Don't test my patience, you don't deserve it, and you don't have that strength, especially you, Lord Han, you are almost seventy, too old, can you control your bladder and not wet the bed? What else do you suggest for you, old fool? ”

Ao Bai once kicked a man to death when he was in court. The ministers dared to say no more, and they didn't dare to raise their heads. Zai Mingting, they are dogs that can only bark, and Ao Bai is a bloodthirsty wolf

He was also glad that the attack on the city of Geranza had been kept secret, and all the officials along the coast had been replaced by his own. If they don't, these pedantic ministers may have done something bad. If the news of the Ming army pretending to be the Japanese to attack Geranza spread, although the Ming Dynasty was not afraid of war, it would become the target of the public and would sacrifice many people in vain.

"Chongzhen" is fake, Aobai's thinking is much more advanced than others, and he thinks that he should cover the sky with one hand.
