Pay a small amount of money?

Is 300,000 taels a small amount of silver?

La Meixuan opened her mouth and wanted to ask this sentence in an angry tone, but he suddenly thought that 300,000 taels is a huge amount of money for Siam, which will make them break their bones, but for Da Ming, it should be a drop in the bucket!

If he says it, it will have no effect except to be embarrassed.

"Your Highness, three hundred thousand taels...... Can you discuss this? La Meixuan said in a pleading tone, he actually wanted to say, is Daming short of these 300,000 taels?

Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand, looking light, and said, "Daming is not short of these 300,000 taels of silver, but it is just for show, to give an explanation to the people." The army of the Ming Dynasty is fed by the common people, and for no reason it is stationed in Siam and opens a naval base, what is going on? ”

"Yes, what Your Highness said is very true!" Thinking of the pressure on them from domestic merchants, La Meixuan wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Your Highness, it is this king who thinks left, if the Ming Dynasty is stationed in Siam, Siam can actually reduce the size of the army, and it can also save a sum of money." ”

"It's your own business. The foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty does not include interference in the internal affairs of countries with diplomatic relations, and is also based on the principle of equality and mutual benefit. So, if you need our help, we'll only charge a nominal fee, and we won't break your bones. But if you have trouble paying these fees, we will not force it. ”

That's a nice thing to say! La Meixuan's stomach was full of anger, but there was nowhere to vent.

Sai Hazhi waited outside the door for a while, he was obviously very anxious, walking back and forth in the yard, the dog saw it, knew that it was for the explosion, and by adding water twice, he came in and hinted at Zhu Gaoxian twice.

Zhu Gaoxian also served tea twice, but unfortunately, the Siamese people did not know the custom of serving tea to guests in the Ming Dynasty.

There was no way, Zhu Gaoxian had no choice but to give the dog a look, and after the dog went out, he came in again and said at the door, "Your Highness, the commander of the Jinyi Guard asks Lord Saihazhi to see you!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian hurriedly got up and said to La Meixuan, "Your Royal Highness, I won't leave the King and Queen today, and the King of Japan will talk to the two again." ”

La Meixuan and Rama were stunned for a while, they were actually going to be kicked out by Zhu Gaoxian, this is really embarrassing!

The two of them got out of the yard, got into the rented car, and couldn't help but say angrily in a language that the Ming driver couldn't understand, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Daming is really too deceitful!" ”

The interpreter sat in the co-pilot, couldn't help but glance at the driver, saw that the other party was driving intently, and thought that he probably didn't know Siamese, and was also relieved.

Saihazhi came in and reported to Zhu Gaoxian the results of their night guarding at the exit of the underground pipeline, "That person, after confirmation, is indeed Zu'a, a student of the Japanese Kingdom, and he is determined to avenge the Japanese Kingdom." ”

Zhu Gaoxian's gaze was far-reaching, as if he had penetrated the time and space tunnel to see a scene that was a long time away or very far away, and after a long time, he smiled, "It's a pity, it's a pity that personal strength and vision are too small, bury him well, arrange for someone to take him back to the Wa Kingdom and bury him at the foot of Mount Fuji!" ”

"Yes!"

Saihazhi told Zhu Gaoxian about his worries, "Your Highness, will it be somewhere else, and they still have a back hand?" “

Saihazhi was very frightened.

"What else can there be? You can see how many bags there are, and how much each bag can hold, which is about the same amount of gunpowder that is missing in the city. ”

The amount of gunpowder used to make fireworks is small, and it will not work at all.

Saihazhi was silent in his heart about the approximate number of bags hooked behind the iron net, how many bags could hold, he had learned arithmetic, and he calculated how much it was about the same as the amount of gunpowder missing, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

After Saihazhi left, Zhu Gaoxian went to Zhu Di, and it happened that the Military Aircraft Department and the Sixth Department were there.

After seeing the ceremony, Zhu Di asked, "The matter on my father's side has been discussed, what do you have to say?" ”

Zhu Di knew that he had recently been tracking down bows and arrows and gunpowder with Jinyiwei, and in Zhu Gaoxian's words, it was a "terrorist attack", and Zhu Di felt that this word was used very well.

Zhu Gaoxian said the investigation of the matter, "Even if Zua didn't die, Erchen didn't think that there was any means to let him recruit everything, the so-called samurai spirit of the Wa Kingdom itself is a very crazy thing, and it is enough to find out the people behind it, Erchen thinks that he can punish the people of Tatar and Warat to set an example!" “

Relying on Zua alone, it is absolutely impossible to collect more than 1,000 catties of gunpowder in the city of Beijing. Because Zu A was originally a person wanted by the Ming Dynasty, he was able to survive until now, if there is no one behind him, no one will believe it.

However, the mere arrest of the Tatars and Warats was not sufficient evidence and was not in accordance with the rules.

However, everyone remembers that when the warships of the Ming Dynasty bombarded the Japanese State, Zhao Yiyi sternly objected, and although he did not lose his official position, he was obviously not treated well by the people of the Four Highnesses, and Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, naturally did not speak.

He didn't speak, and Zhu Gaoxian's eyes still chased after him.

Zheng Ci was slightly chubby, with a moon cake face, wearing a second-grade official uniform, burly, looking very majestic, he cleared his throat, "Your Highness, the minister thinks that if you can't punish Tatar and Warat, kill chickens and monkeys, if other countries have one to learn one, wouldn't it be chaotic in the future!" ”

The meaning is obvious, Zheng Ci supports Zhu Gaoxian.

The Tatars came from Arutai, and the Warat came from Elbok, and Zeng Di, who was newly stationed at the military machine, wanted to remind him that one of these two people was a Tatar minister and the other was the Great Khan of Warat, and if they were imprisoned and executed, it would inevitably cause war.

But he looked at Yang Pu, and when he saw that the old man was looking at his nose and nose, his nose was looking at his heart, and he looked disapproving, he became more and more puzzled.

Like him, Jin Youzi and Gu Pu felt incredible, the two of them were a little restless, and they only felt that the officials of the Sixth Department, who were in a high position, actually did not admonish, and were willful by His Royal Highness the Four Princes.

Yang Pu was afraid that these three newcomers would bring disaster to the Military Aircraft Department, so he coughed lightly and warned the three not to act rashly, and quickly said, "Your Highness, the minister thinks that the Jinyi Guard should first put Tatar and Warat under house arrest, and after the end of the World Exposition, they will be interrogated by the three divisions and judged in accordance with the "Da Ming Law". ”

"Makes sense!" Zhu Gaoxian was very satisfied, and said to Ru Yu, "Lord Ru, if the Tatars and Warat are not convinced, it will inevitably cause war, they will not cherish the peace in front of them, and although my Ming Dynasty loves peace, but if I invade my Ming Dynasty, although it is far away, it will be punished, and it must not be tolerated, and the military department must be prepared for war!" ”

Is the war with the Tatars and Warats going so soon?

Zhu Di was suddenly excited, a little unable to sit still, he went through it in his mind, and asked Ru Yu, "If you have to start a war with the Tatars and Warat, who do you think is the right general?" ”

Ru Yu felt so tired, obviously talking about "bows, arrows and gunpowder", to put it mildly, did he decide a big battle so quickly?

This was unexpected for Ru Yu.

Fortunately, who hasn't been in a bit of a hurry to sit in the current position?

Ru Yu was named and took a step forward, "If you go back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the situation in Annan and Zhancheng is already very stable, and there is Xiping Marquis to guard it, so it should be worry-free, why don't you transfer General Zhang Fu back to prepare for the war with Tatar and Warat?" ”

"Very good!" Zhu Di's eyes glowed with gold, and he said, "This time, I want to drive the expedition in person, completely drive the Tatars and Warats out of this land in the north, and let them go as far as they want!" ”

Ru Yu was frightened and couldn't help shouting, "Your Majesty, you have to think twice!" ”

Xia Yuanji couldn't help but glance at Zhu Gaoxian, and Zhu Gaoxian couldn't help but think of Zhu Di's five imperial expeditions in history.

Long-term depression and panic, climbing ice and lying in the snow during the four-year battle of Jingjing, escaping from death, mountain-like pressure, long-term guilt, worry and helplessness, and five royal expeditions exhausted Zhu Di's original abundant energy, and the landslide just after the sixtieth birthday.

"Dad, my son promised my father that he would build the railway from Daming to Ulaanbaatar and Ubusu Lake, and use the train to carry Daming's soldiers and supplies there.

Zhu Gaoxian prayed, "Dad can't let his son break his word!" ”

Zhu Di has an obsession with conquering Tatar and Warat, he didn't expect his son to object, although he was unhappy, but he was more puzzled, and waved his hand, "I'll talk about it later, Ru Yu will arrange someone to replace Zhang Fu back first, and we'll discuss it later." ”

Although Xia Yuan Yoshimi did not convince the emperor, he did not need to be anxious for a while, and after Ru Yu answered, he retreated with everyone.

Zhu Di asked his son, "How did you promise your father before?" Said that he wanted to help his father drive away the Tatars and Warat, and now he is against it? ”

Zhu Gaoxian knelt down in front of his father, and beat his father's legs for a while, if the warm sun shone between his eyebrows, he looked bright and handsome, "This winter, my son plans to accompany his father and mother to the hot springs in the country, and it is not a few months, and my father remembers to stare at the third brother and tidy up over there." ”

"Tatar and Warat, my son feels that he can't fight for a while, but the preparations can be done first."

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Di was very curious.

"The people around Arutai and Erlebok, the son suggested that they should be controlled first, and starting with these people, evidence can be found. Once there is evidence that Arutai and Erlebok colluded with the Japanese and planned to carry out a terrorist attack in our Daming, my son thought that he could detain these two people. ”

Zhu Gaoxian said his plan, "Dad wants to drive the expedition in person, and my son wants to lay out in advance." It is impossible for the son to let his father ride a horse when he is old, facing the wind and sand of the desert, galloping on the grassland, looking for enemies and water and grass everywhere. ”

"Dad, that's too hard!" Zhu Gaoxian looked up at his father.
