Originally, Zhu Jie returned to the capital after inspecting Quanzhou, and he left the capital for at least more than two months, but now he was completely dragged by the Fushou Paste incident.

For other things, Zhu Jie can also deal with it with others, but only in this matter, Zhu Jie does not dare to be careless, and must personally dispatch and dispose of it, even if it will not be in the capital for a year, he must handle this matter properly!

"Your Majesty, the matter is almost handled, Fujian Province, a total of more than 500,000 catties of Fushou paste have been confiscated, more than 200 Western merchants have been arrested, mainly the Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and English merchants are almost seventy or eighty people, and two hundred and sixty-seven local businessmen in Fujian have been arrested, according to investigation, the number of people in Fujian Province who have taken Fushou paste has been recorded to exceed 300,000 people, such a huge number, if you want to quit all, but it is extremely difficult......

Qin Mufeng bowed down and said.

Zhu Jie's heart trembled in distress and asked, "What about the other provinces?" ”

Sun Chuanting replied: "Your Majesty, now Zhejiang, Jiangnan, and Guangdong provinces have also been cleaned up, and the three provinces have confiscated more than 200,000 catties of Fushou ointment, and arrested more than 300 merchants engaged in the trade and sale of Fushou ointment......

Zhu Jie breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as the flood of tobacco is controlled within the scope of the Ming Dynasty, it will be easy to do, at least there are not many people in the north who smoke it now......

Sun Chuanting continued: "There is also this inspection, a total of 126 smoking officials were found, all of whom have been dismissed from their respective positions, and more than 6,000 people were found to have smoked Fushou paste in various military towns in the Ming Dynasty, including 67 generals at all levels, and there were basically no personnel in the Tianwei Army and Tianxiong Army who smoked Fushou ointment, mainly concentrated in various military towns, among which Fuzhou Town was the most serious, accounting for half of the number of people......"

"Humph!"

Zhu Jie snorted angrily and shouted: "This bastard Shu Xinchen, I won't be wronged even if I kill him!" I was deceived and caused so many brothers to suffer, but I really didn't succeed enough, and I lost more than I did! ”

Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to investigate Shu Xinchen's responsibility, what should I do next?" We collected more than 700,000 catties of Fushou paste in one go, more than two-thirds of which were directly collected from Western merchants, and its value was more than 3 million taels of silver. ”

Cha Xuan said in a deep voice on the side: "Inspector Sun, what you are talking about is only the Fushou paste confiscated from all over the world, the first fleet and the second fleet, in a month and a half, to crack down on the smuggling of Fushou ointment, a total of more than 60 smugglers, more than 3,000 boxes of Fushou ointment, also worth a lot of money, moreover, there are more than 200 foreigners who have been killed in a single click, more than 200 people have been arrested and imprisoned, so many foreigners have been cleaned up, I am afraid that Westerners will definitely not be able to sit still, and the mountain rain is coming......

"Humph!"

Zhu Jie said coldly: "The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, this time, I will never take half a step back, they want to fight, we will fight with them upside down!" Just right, drive all these foreigners out of the South Seas! The Eastern world is the world of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not their turn to go wild in Western countries! ”

"That being said, I'm afraid that in less than a month, the envoys of Western countries will arrive in Quanzhou, and when the time comes, it will inevitably be a war of words, and a big war is imminent, Your Majesty, we may not be able to suppress the combined fleet of the four countries......"

Sun Chuanting was old-fashioned, and he said in a deep voice in order to think about victory and defeat first.

Zhu Jie said indifferently: "It's just the combined fleet of the four countries, and it's not their native main fleet, I didn't tear my face with them last time, that's because we weren't ready, now, hehe, I won't encircle and annihilate them all, and I won't be a man!" ”

Zhu Jie is completely angry, Fushou ointment, this is the most painful memory of the entire Chinese nation, it is also Zhu Jie's rebellious scales, and if he is angry at the crown, it will bleed thousands of miles!

"Baigu, seven hundred miles expedited, the decree, the Beijing Firearms Bureau, the Nanjing Firearms Bureau, all efforts to start the production of weapons and ammunition; The Tianxiong Army and the Tianwei Army are all ready to fight! The First Fleet and the Second Fleet are all assembled and are on standby in Songjiang and Quanzhou ready to go out at any time! ”

Sun Chuanting hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, in the court, Li Yan and Xu Yifan have already begun to arrange, in three or four years, almost all of our Tianwei Army and Tianxiong Army have replaced solid cannons with flowering cannons, and the Tianxiong Army and Tianwei Army are equipped with more than 400 flowering cannons, and the inventory of cannonballs in the arsenal also exceeds 200,000 rounds, and the muskets have also begun to be reloaded, and a large number of firing pin rifles have begun to be installed in the army, and now the number of equipment has exceeded 50,000, and the inventory of paper shell bullets has exceeded 2 million rounds!" Such a large stockpile of firearms is enough to support us in a protracted war! ”

"Not enough, far from enough!"

Zhu Jie said coldly, "Bai Gu, if it is just to attack the South Seas, these firearms and ammunition are basically enough, but we will have to fight with the main forces of Western countries in the future, and when the time comes, the weapons and ammunition consumed will be an astronomical amount. Also, the decree was passed on, ordering Zheng Sen to take a boat south immediately, and again, he asked Shi Kefa to go out of the mountain, this time, he couldn't nest in Songjiang College, and he would deal with this big change first! ”

"Also, Your Majesty, now Quanzhou is on the front line of the confrontation between the West and the Ming Dynasty, but Quanzhou now doesn't even have a prefect, and the general army of Fuzhou Town can't always let Mu Feng take care of it, he still has the Tianxiong Army to lead, this candidate ......."

Sun Chuanting asked.

Zhu Jie nodded and said: "It's time to transfer personnel, pass on the decree, seal Huang Yingtai as the prefect of Quanzhou, and immediately go to the post from the date of receiving the order, and seal Huang Degong as the chief soldier of Fuzhou Town, and supervise the military affairs of the whole territory of Fujian, and order Huang Degong to take up his post immediately from the date he receives the order!" The rest of the officials, Li Yan will make arrangements there, don't worry about it, the next thing we have to do is here, and there will be a verbal battle with the Western world first! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers said, why do you have to have a war of mouths? The first strike is stronger, by surprise, we can send troops to the South Seas, the two fleets go south together, plus the Tianxiong army presses the formation, it will take less than a month, it will be enough to take the Luzon Islands, two months, the Java Islands, at most four months, occupy the entire territory of the South Seas, this matter is wrapped up in me and Lao Cha! ”

Qin Mufeng shouted.
