When he returned to the cabinet, the anger that appeared on the faces of a group of people from the four parties disappeared in an instant, and Fang Congzhe said lightly: "In this way, this Wang Xuan is indeed just forcing the palace, and there is no other meaning for the time being." ”

"It's basically certain, but, everyone, this time the kid surnamed Wang succeeded, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't continue to make any excessive demands, so there must be countermeasures." Gao Panlong stroked his beard and said.

"Indeed, with that kid's temperament, we will inevitably gain an inch, but we can't retreat again and again." Wu Liangsi also nodded in agreement.

"It's certain to tidy up the guards, and we can't hesitate anymore, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and we still have to mobilize a part of the border troops to the border, and we must deter them."

"That's a good idea, how much to transfer?"

"This time he dispatched an army of 100,000, and, according to the news I received, the newly trained soldiers on his side are extremely elite, I'm afraid if there are less, they can't withstand him!"

"That being said, there are only a lot of border troops, and the 500,000 on the books is actually not that much! Once too many people are deployed, then the border is unstable, and the border is unstable, and the capital is unstable! ”

"Okay, let's stop arguing." Fang Congzhe raised his hand to stop everyone from continuing to quarrel, and said slowly: "Three aspects will start together, first, the three provinces will rectify the Weisuo army, second, all the current Weisuo troops will be mobilized to the border, and third, 60,000 border troops will be mobilized to 20,000 in each province to solve the urgent need." ”

Guan Yingzhen opened his mouth, he felt that the geographical location of Huguang was more important, and he must have more border troops, but in the end he gave up, and the other two parties would not agree, as for the Qi Party, they were watching the play from beginning to end, and they didn't say a word at all.

Obviously, the old fox of Qi Shijiao didn't want to offend Wang Xuan, anyway, the land in Jiangbei was relatively barren, and it couldn't become a big climate, so it was a big deal to surrender in the end.

Speaking of which, Wang Xuan's series of operations in the past few years have caused a chain reaction to major events in the world, because Wang Xuan migrated the population of Liaodong, Fujian did not listen to the announcement, and the invasion of Annam, etc., the imperial court was unable to mobilize the troops of Sichuan, Gansu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces to reinforce Liaodong, resulting in the defeat of the Ming Dynasty that should have occurred at the beginning of this year.

As for the future, the border army not only did not get support, but had to mobilize 60,000 real men and horses to go to the three provinces, and even more had no ability to carry out any counteroffensive, so they could only honestly retreat in the border areas, but they avoided the fate of repeated defeats and losses by taking the enemy's rash advances, and made the Jurchens miss several good opportunities for development.

……

After dragging on for a while, I don't know how Fang Congzhe and others persuaded Emperor Wanli, or simply concealed the emperor who was lying on the hospital bed, and directly issued a clear decree according to Wang Xuan's request, enclosing Qi Hongliang Dingnanhou, a fief of half a province south of Annan, is indeed a real fief, land, population, and laws, the imperial court does not care, all belong to the Qi Hongliang family themselves, but a part of the tax is paid every year.

In addition, Qi Xinghui and Di Haokuo, the two earliest generals who followed Wang Xuan, were also made earls, and the combined fiefs of the two were half the size of Qi Hongliang.

Only this fiefdom issue, Fang Congzhe and the others really wondered for a long time when they learned about it from Li Shantang's mouth.

This is different from what they expected, they thought it was still falsely sealed, just a simple name, but they never expected that it was a request for real sealing, and it was on such a distant alien territory, in this regard, they really couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Wang Xuan's gourd.

Anyway, after the will came down, the world shook a few times, Wang Xuan also neatly withdrew the troops, and the prices in the capital began to fall back to their original state, and the world seemed to have returned to calm again, even the Jurchens were rare not to send troops to attack Daming in this winter, the reason is that when Wang Xuan purchased materials, the trading goods were mainly grain, and the families were well fed and well-fed, and the idea of coming out to fight was not so urgent.

It was only after the beginning of spring that a large number of ships returned from the Wa Kingdom, and there were many smaller ships, and if anyone who was familiar with the Wa Kingdom was here, you could see that these were the ships of the Wa Kingdom, and they were the usual ships of the Japanese pirates.

This wave of people were the maritime merchants of Nan Naoli and Zhejiang, who had gone to the Wa Kingdom before the beginning of winter, and at this moment, they returned with more than 8,000 people sent by the Tokugawa shogunate.

In order to impress the Tokugawa family, a total of 80,000 catties of various iron materials were paid this time, according to the weight of the standard katana of the Wa Kingdom at this time, it can equip more than 10,000 people, if it is an ordinary spear ashigaru, it can equip 40,000 people, this move, for the Wa country that lacks iron ore, the strength of the Tokugawa family has increased greatly!

Even so, the equipment of these 8,000 people, after arriving at the Daimyo, still needs to be provided by the families of the two places, and they all came empty-handed.

……

"Lord, I received news today that along the coast of Xiaoliuqiu and Fujian, there was another Japanese invasion, and the losses were not small, and there were also three robberies of merchant ships at sea, but fortunately, one of them ran away, and the other two were killed and the ship was also robbed." Ye Yu took the information in his hand, frowned his good-looking eyebrows, and said softly, and snorted at the end.

Looking at the appearance of the night confusion, Wang Xuan couldn't help but sigh secretly, this guy was originally a natural yin and yang person, but with the improvement of kung fu, after entering the super-first-class situation, he has become more and more feminine, and he has already begun to sell cute.

"Hey, Lord, have you listened?" Seeing Wang Xuan's slip, Ye Yu couldn't help but shout in a low voice.

"Oh, listen to that, in the last few days, there have been more and more attacks by these pirates." Wang Xuan also scratched his head a little about this matter.

According to the intelligence, these Japanese should be mainly real Japanese pirates, with almost the same number of false Japanese pirates, and began to wreak havoc in the coastal areas, and the most infuriating thing is that each Japanese pirate team has a maximum of forty or fifty people, and a minimum of one or twenty people, and they can be built in two small boats, and the number is as large as a cow's hair.

According to the news received in the past few days, within three days before and after, there have been more than 100 shares of Japanese robbers! And it is spreading to the west, and no one knows how many pirates there are, which is really annoying.

Every time it is robbed, the loss is not big, even if the army is dispatched, it is not easy to catch, there are too few people and too scattered, just a small boat to float to where or which island and reef to hide, the vast sea, where to find!

According to the statistics of all parties, there are about five or six hundred shares of the Japanese pirates, which are sprinkled all over the southern seas, like sprinkling sesame salt, although Wang Xuan also sent a naval force to encircle and suppress them, but the effect is not great, and dozens of shares have been knocked out in the first half of the month.

It's really a good thing!

"Isn't this guerrilla warfare, sparrow warfare, the bastard thought...... Phew, phew. Wang Xuan was really scratching his head, now he could understand the distress of Little Japan during World War II, as if he had been crawled all over by a group of ants, and if he continued to bite like this, he would cry.

"Smack!" slapped the table case hard, Wang Xuan's expression was ruthless, since these people were playing with him, then don't blame him for opening the big killing weapon!

"Sun Chuanting, pass on my order to open the ban on the purchase of crossbow machines, so that in the end, as long as they are willing to pay, all merchant ships can install bed crossbows in the future, and when the time comes, see how these robbers will rob!"

"Lord!" Sun Chuanting was shocked when he heard this, "The Lord must not, this crossbow machine is different from knives and guns, the danger is too great, even if it is an untrained person, holding a crossbow machine can kill a long-trained soldier, if the crossbow machine ban is opened, I don't know how many lives will be added to the lawsuit, and the most important thing is that the safety of those local big families and government personnel will be greatly threatened." ”

"I know what you're talking about, but do you have a way to deal with this tactic?" Wang Xuan spread his hands and looked at Sun Chuanting, this is the same reason as allowing private people to hold guns, homicides will increase significantly, and people's safety will not be guaranteed.

"I ......" Sun Chuanting opened his mouth, but he couldn't help it, "Then you can't drink to quench your thirst!" ”

"Well, it's not as exaggerated as you say!" Wang Xuan raised his hand and pressed it, "I know what you mean, the people are actually good to say, the contradiction that is worth killing is worth killing, there is no crossbow arrow that can kill people, this crossbow arrow, it makes no difference whether the people have it or not." ”

"The real difference is that those local big families are also officials, if they are bullying the people, they all bring domestic slaves on weekdays, even if there are one or two with knives to take revenge, it is difficult to get close, so the threat is not big, if the crossbow arrow ban is opened, 'whoosh', they are likely to die in Huangquan, so they resolutely oppose the opening of the crossbow machine."

"Actually, it's not a bad thing, and there's nothing wrong with letting them know that they are in awe." After all, the crossbow machine is not a firearm, it is not so convenient, and the power is not so great, even if it is the old beauty with open firearms, it is not particularly because of this.

Moreover, when it comes to Lao Mei, their officials are really not high-minded, even if they are the second generation of rich people, they will not pretend to be forced with ordinary people, after all, the puppet is angry and blood is splashed five steps.

Sun Chuanting opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything, and it was only at this time that he reacted, this lord, unlike many people in this era, although he admits the inevitability of the class, but he does not agree with the class, nor does he maintain it, and he is a person who really treats everyone in the world equally.

I will never look at you differently just because you have money and status.

So the things that maintain tradition, the ruling class, here in this Lord, none of them will work, and they don't care.

Sun Chuanting really doesn't know, what kind of impact will be caused by the ban on this crossbow machine, it is definitely not a problem for the Japanese or something, there is no need for more than one boat, there are only twenty crossbow machines, one or two bed crossbows, and the Japanese can only hehe.

But......
