Zhang Gui immediately replied: "What the minister means is that the imperial court should specially mobilize sailors to bass Batavia!" Don't let go of any of the outsiders out there! ”

Apocalypse was shocked when he heard this.

Zhang Gui continued: "Your Majesty, this is a political battle to promote the prestige of the country and boost the hearts of the people, not a battle to consider whether it is cost-effective or not. ”

"The affairs of the Ming Dynasty are naturally not just for the sake of earning more money and food."

"After all, Daming is a country, not a simple commercial house, and sometimes you need to make some gestures, even if this gesture will outweigh the losses. The so-called Son of Heaven is angry, and millions of corpses are ambushed, and now is the time for His Majesty to be angry for the three thousand Han people, and make Batavia all over the place! ”

Tianqi stood up and looked at Zhang Gui for a long time.

Zhang Gui kept standing aside: "Please make up your mind!" ”

Apocalypse finally nodded: "Then bloody Batavia!" Speak out for Hermes-Epitek in the world! ”

Zhang Gui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming! If this is not the case, the influence of today's Han people's acceptance of academic thinking is too deep, and most of them do not think that the imperial court will support them, which requires the imperial court to show their bloody side for them first, so that they will follow the bloody nature and dare to show their strong side to the outside world! ”

Shortly thereafter, Apocalypse issued an official edict against the Dutch East India Company.

Moreover, the Emperor of the Apocalypse stipulated that the Dutch East India Company was an illegal seaman, and the coastal officers and soldiers should be strictly cleared, and the Ministry of War sent sailors to attack Batavia, the base camp of the Dutch East India Company.

"Please ask Your Majesty to take back your order, don't spend a lot of money on some people who have died in vain, and make evil to foreign countries, such an act is not the act of a benevolent monarch!"

"Your Majesty! Once the first evil has been eliminated, why should it be involved again? Please don't hesitate to levy the fat and anointment of the people because the small people were slaughtered! ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"I implore Your Majesty to be cautious about the sword soldiers, Batavia is far away from Shenzhou, and the sea has always been very dangerous, and the dragon is infested, which may make the army go and have no return, and waste financial resources and manpower!"

……

However, after Tianqi listened to Zhang Gui's advice and made up his mind to prepare for the crusade against Batavia, he was still obstructed by many civil servants.

The reason why these ministers opposed it was naturally because they didn't like the emperor's reckless military force, of course, there were also people who had already been bought by the local gentry forces who lived in Batavia and secretly colluded with the red hair, and they didn't want Batavia to be a place that would not be controlled by the Ming Emperor, and they couldn't get rid of the power of the Ming Emperor.

"Advise the avengers to be exiled to Xianzhou, responsible for educating the people and enriching the border towns!"

Tianqi didn't ask much, and directly exiled all of them to the newly restored territory outside the Guan.

The court is naturally clean.

But there are still people behind the scenes who are dissatisfied with the decision of the apocalypse.

"This tyrant has not listened to the slightest dissuasion and is determined to conquer Batavia! What should we do, we can't just ship our savings to Goa from Batavia, right? ”

"They must not be allowed to conquer Batavia! Mr. Congwu also meant this, he said that he should try his best to find a way to make a bigger event happen in the court, and then let the emperor have no energy to think about what national prestige to promote. ”

"Mr. Congwu is right, we need to find a way as soon as possible, so that this tyrant will not have the energy to conquer Batavia! Also, send a ship to inform the princes and Taisi of Batavia as soon as possible, so that they can be prepared! ”

……

Therefore, behind the scenes, there are many powerful scholars and doctors in the DPRK and China who have colluded with overseas forces to talk about this matter in secret, and plan to use more extreme methods to prevent the decision of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Zhang Gui, who instigated the Apocalypse to use the power of the imperial court to seek justice for the small people, also knew that there would be people who did not want the imperial court to conquer Batavia and completely fight against the Dutch East India Company.

Because Zhang Gui knows very well that many local tycoons in this era already have the characteristics of compradors, and they are better at colluding with external forces to further cut the leeks of their own country.

Therefore, the devil knows if this Batavia city will also have the property of the Chinese gentry.

"Check carefully, especially this Mr. Congwu, since he has contact with these red-haired fans, and is the main culprit in trafficking Han people to Batavia, we must find out! There is also the real reason why Frank suddenly appeared in Tianjin this time, and it must be clarified through the interrogation of a few red hairs who were caught! ”

Therefore, Zhang Gui also used all intelligence forces to carefully keep an eye on the forces behind the court who did not want the imperial court to conquer Batavia, and for this reason, he was explaining these things to Liu Zongmin on the way to the East Palace to see the prince.

"Humble duty understands!"

Because this day was the prince's birthday, Zhang Gui was also ordered to go to the East Palace to participate in the family banquet personally organized by the apocalypse.

And when Zhang Gui came to the East Palace, the prince had personally come to the palace gate to greet him: "Uncle! ”

Zhang Gui smiled slightly, and then was about to perform the national salute.

At this time, suddenly a gunshot rang out.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Immediately afterwards, the prince sat down on the ground.

Zhang Gui showed a look of panic: "What's going on, someone dares to assassinate the prince?" ”

Soon, Zhang Gui noticed that a puff of white smoke appeared on the palace wall in front of him.

But man has long since disappeared.

Zhang Gui had to turn around first and asked, "How is Your Highness?" ”

"What's going on?!"

At this time, the apocalypse and the queen hurriedly walked out.

"The prince has been assassinated!"

Zhang Gui replied.

Apocalypse was shocked when he heard this.

Zhang Yan is also discolored.

"Don't worry about the father and queen mother, the son-in-law was not shot, but Wang Daban, who was about to block the gun for the son-in-law, tripped the son-in-law."

At this time, the prince stood up and replied to Tianqi and Zhang Yan.

Tianqi and Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, many subordinate officials of the East Palace who were on duty outside also rushed over and said in horror: "The prince has been assassinated? Who dares to threaten me Daming Guoben?! ”

Zhang Gui said with a calm face at this time: "Who knows! There must be a thief! ”

Tianqi also said in a deep voice: "You must investigate strictly, and dare to attack my son again!" ”

After a while, Qi Panzong ran over, took a strand of red hair and a strip of cloth and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers just found these in the place where the gun was fired, this red hair should be unique to the red hair, and this strip of cloth is also a cloth used by Xiyi!" ”

"It looks like it's the red hairy fan! This red-haired fan is really bold and reckless, and he dares to murder my country! ”

Apocalypse gritted his teeth and spoke.

So, the next day, Tianqi called Daqi, and in front of the Manchu ministers, angrily scolded Hongmaofan's shameless behavior, and asked: "These Hongmaoyi are even harmful to the country, and there is no longer any meaning, tell the sailors who have set off that they will go this time, not only to avenge the three thousand slaughtered Han people, but also to avenge the East Palace, not only I and the Han people in the world will remember their merits, but the East Palace will also remember their achievements!" In addition, I want them to perform a sacrifice to the heavens after the bloodbath of Batavia, so as to serve as a wolf Juxu! ”

Because the red-haired fans have made a move on the country, Wenchen is even more afraid to put his beak anymore.

Soon after, the sailors also reached the city of Batavia, surrounded it, and successfully captured the city.

The governor of Batavia, Kodar, knelt in front of Shen Shouyue, the chief soldier in charge of recruiting them, in great trepidation: "We are willing to compensate, and please let us live!" ”

Shen Shouyue laughed after listening to the words conveyed by the translator: "Uncle Guo has already guessed that you would say this, but Uncle Guo told me at the time, let me tell you, let me tell you, if you don't let you go, you have to ask God yourself!" ”
