Chapter 110: The Strong Are Fearless (10th Update)
Ye Chunqiu would not include the cabinet ministers in the ranks of old antiques, but then again, his own ideas were ahead of his time, and he knew in his heart that it would be difficult to convince these cabinet princes who had formed a preconceived impression.

Thus he does what you say is yours, and I will do mine.
Liu Jian looked a little worried, and continued: "The reputation of the Zhenguo New Army is good now, but this huge amount of money is criticized, and in this matter, Spring and Autumn should be careful." ”
Public opinion, Ye Chunqiu probably understands, many people are poured with chicken soup for the soul, but there are also people who understand the 'way of economy'.
What? There are only a few hundred people, and they spend more than 400,000 pieces of silver a year? Oh my God, I'm going to die, I'm going to die.
In fact, it is not necessarily that people are disgusted, but more are worried about the country and the people, in the land of China, the concept of the family and the country is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the advantage is that because this kind of thinking is always in the country when the country is broken, there are always people who hold the faith, and pass the incense of civilization from generation to generation; The bad thing is that there are too many people who are not sick and moan, and he is not very happy when people spend money, but fortunately, the idea of civil rights is not popular at this time, otherwise someone has to calculate that if 400,000 pieces of silver are divided equally among every Ming people, each person can get 400,000 taels.
Another bite of poisonous chicken soup.
Ye Chunqiu couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
Seeing that Ye Chunqiu's face was a little tense, as if he was absent-minded, Liu Jian was displeased: "Chunqiu, are you listening to the old man?" ”
"Listening." Ye Chunqiu was busy, and his face hurriedly changed to a serious look, and said: "The new army of Zhenguo has spent a little money, but in order to train a strong army, it is also unhesitating. ”
Sophistry, definitely sophistry.
Xie Qian said to him unceremoniously: "How can you say that? No matter how strong the new army of Zhenguo is, but with the same money and food, it can raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers, hundreds of thousands against hundreds, which is stronger and weaker? ...... you" Xie Qian shook his head with a very disappointed look and said: "It's just a tendon, last time, Ningxia suppressed the rebellion, which was a fluke, but if you really put on a position, the new army of Zhenguo is the opponent of 100,000 rebels?" You don't have to get dizzy, stupid road to the dark, we are also for your good. ”
Ye Chunqiu hesitated, not knowing what to say.
In fact, he is not afraid of ridicule from others, and he will not pay attention to the indifference of others, what he is most afraid of is human debt, looking at the worried faces, but this is for your good, you want to refute, but you can't help but worry that it will hurt people's hearts, and most importantly, hurt Xie Gong's heart, Xie Gong will really hit the pillar.
Ye Chunqiu was waiting to ease the relationship.
But at this time, someone stumbled in and said: "Urgent report, urgent report, urgent report sent by the Fujian Political Envoy overnight." ”
The official of the General Political Department did not care about the rules, and almost crawled in with a rolling belt, shouting: "The Fujian Political Envoy Department is in a hurry." As he spoke, he held up a notebook in his hand.
Liu Jian and the others looked at each other, and their expressions couldn't help but become solemn, generally encountering this situation, it must be a big deal, so they didn't scold this person for being rude.
However, Ye Chunqiu took the note from the official's hand very coincidentally, and then transferred it to Liu Jian's hand.
Liu Jian opened it and looked at it, and immediately fell silent.
"Liu Gong, the political envoy of Fujian, what can happen?" Xie Qian looked at Liu Jian's gloomy face and asked anxiously.
Liu Jian's face was as cold as frost, so he handed the note to Xie Qian's hands, and after Xie Qian saw it, he suddenly got up, and immediately said angrily: "It's really unreasonable." ”
"These thieves are really hateful!" Xie Qian slapped the case violently, shaking the coffee table to a crackling sound.
Wang Hua and Li Dongyang also looked at Zazi one after another, and then they were all dumbfounded.
Only Ye Chunqiu didn't know what was going on, neither did he go, nor did he go.
Liu Jian's face turned pale, and he said after a long time: "Let's show it to Chunqiu." ”
The zazi was in Li Dongyang's hands, Li Dongyang hesitated slightly, obviously this is a military secret newspaper, and it is not possible to circulate unrelated people, but he only hesitated for a moment, and handed it over to Ye Chunqiu.
Ye Chunqiu was suspicious in his heart, and when he opened it, he couldn't help but gasp.
This is the report of the Fujian political envoy, which says only one thing, Quanzhou was attacked, there are more than 30 ships led by the blonde and blue-eyed Franc machine man to arrive in the coastal waters of Quanzhou, raided Quanzhou in the early morning before the fifth day, the Franc machine man with a firecracker, first broke the line of defense of the chicken cage mountain, and the Quanzhou guard stationed here, Quanzhou Wei more than 4,000 people, is a touch of the collapse, this Quanzhou is an important port, these years in order to guard against the Japanese invaders, so in this vicinity of the first line, set up three special guards for the Japanese, the Franc machine people will go all the way deep, To Haiyin Temple, they encountered the military horses of the guards, and thousands of guards were also shot by their firearms, but they couldn't resist and threw away their armor.
These Franc machine man waterway side by side, the ship rushed into the inland river, with the ship's artillery bombardment by the sea of Quanzhou City, the land route of the Franc machine man auxiliary attack, Quanzhou only more than an hour, is actually broken, Franc machine man into the city so far, the city of the Bo Division officials were all killed, the town guard eunuch Yang Xiong died, Quanzhou prefect left his post without permission, and fled, these Franc machine people are not in a hurry to go, but in the city to burn and loot, Fujian General Military Officer was busy with troops to try to recover Quanzhou, the nearby four guards and horses marched separately, more than 20,000 people, it was vulnerable, throw away the armor and return defeated.
At this point, these Franc machine people swaggered away, entered the vast sea, and disappeared without a trace.
Quanzhou suffered heavy losses, as many as 7,000 officers and soldiers were killed in the battle, and more than 20,000 people were killed or wounded among the people in the city.
Seeing the tragic situation in Quanzhou written at the end of the text, Ye Chunqiu frowned deeply, and there were a few sighs around him.
But although he was angry in his heart, Ye Chunqiu held his breath, he knew very well that he had to calm down now, these Portuguese had already left, obviously the Portuguese used the combat methods of the Japanese Kou, using sea ships to come in the wind, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, they immediately landed to launch a surprise attack, and after the results of the battle, they slowly left.
But the question is, why did the Francophone man who was far away in Malacca suddenly appear in Quanzhou?
Mobilize more than 30 ships, more than 2,000 people, for the Portuguese, is already almost all their strength in the entire South Seas, Malacca is three or four thousand kilometers away from Quanzhou, even if the Francois has a fast ship, it is impossible to arrive without two months of effort, but at that time, their envoys have just set off, doesn't this mean that their envoys set off on the front foot, and the warships followed on the back foot?
