Chapter 332: Suppress? Comfort? Or is it a combination of soothing?

Since the incident could not be expedited with 800 miles, more than 20 days had passed when it was known that the people had captured Shuangyu Island.

In addition to the three ministers who were most enthusiastic about the affairs, this matter also attracted the attention of the three cabinet ministers.

It was really too fast for the people to move, and they had already conquered Shuangyu Island before the edict was reprimanded, and then they were ashamed to take Shuangyu Island and wanted to make a deal with the imperial court.

In their opinion, where are such arrogant barbarians?

Only Liu Daxia was secretly surprised, because from the time he learned that the people of Huang had the intention of plotting to the fall of Shuangyu Island, it was only more than a month.

Even if you gather troops in advance, you can cross the sea and strike at Shuangyu in the rest of the month.

This also shows that compared to the time of the attack on the Ryukyus, the army of the Kuren was already stronger.

When he imitated the creation of the black man firearm, he also learned about the sharpness of the black man firearm.

Therefore, the people of Huangren occupy Shuangyu Island, and they are even more worried! He had dealt with the Tyrants and was impressed by the style of every word.

The capture of Shuangyu Island by the Huang people certainly had a reason to get rid of pirates and ensure foreign trade, but even if they didn't get rid of pirates before, they must have sailed without worry with their towering giant ships.

Therefore, the people chose to attack Shuangyu, which in his opinion was a provocation.

But he also had to admire the viciousness of the Huangren, who attacked Shuangyu and fought pirates, which was already better than morality, and now he was even more arrogant in occupying Shuangyu Island, as if he was unwilling to leave easily.

As soon as he thought of the huge ships that had arrived in the evening from Eastern Qin to be stationed in Shuangyu, Liu Daxia was deeply worried about the situation in Zhejiang.

And in addition to Shuangyu Island, there are many large and small islands along the coast of Daming, if you let it go, the people are bound to be more unscrupulous.

So Liu Daxia quickly made a decision, that is, Shuangyu Island must let the Huang people withdraw their troops, no matter what means are used, it is necessary to let the Huang people know that the Ming Dynasty is not so easy to provoke!

…………

The Qianqing Palace, the three cabinet ministers and Liu Daxia were all summoned.

Emperor Hongzhi is in good spirits and in good health at the moment, but the news of Eastern Qin makes him a little displeased.

The three ministers also understood the general reason, but Liu Jian and Li Dongyang had never been in contact with the envoys, and Xie Qian had only met with the envoys of the people.

Therefore, in terms of affairs, only Liu Daxia is the most concerned in the Ming Dynasty, and he and Wang Heng and Ma Wensheng often discuss affairs.

At the end of last year, glasses and thin-tire porcelain produced in the Eastern Qin Dynasty appeared in the capital, which surprised Liu Daxia and deeply felt the rapid development of the Huangren.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the year before last was to send troops to attack the Ryukyus, according to the merchants, the people in the Ryukyus have collected the hearts of the small people, and their heart of swallowing the Ryukyus is clearly revealed, and at this moment they are occupying Shuangyu Island, and their intentions are afraid to be impure! What is your response to this? ”

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang glanced at each other, and arched their hands and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that I was a Huang person, but I was just an islander, and at this moment, it suddenly occupied Shuangyu Island, which shows its arrogance!"

It's just that...... The minister looked through the list of various guards in Zhejiang, as well as the garrisons in various places, and found that in the huge Zhejiang, there were only more than 40,000 garrisons, and half of them were concentrated in the coastal guards! ”

"If you really want to use troops to suppress it, you have to draw troops from all over the country! And the southeast has been peaceful for a long time, and the erosion of the guard is also well known, I am afraid that if you don't prepare for a year, you can't use swords and soldiers! ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, this is Lao Cheng's serious words, now the southeast half of the wall wants to fight, just to gather troops, I am afraid that it will take several months.

Not to mention the need to raise military salaries, local contacts are also needed.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Daxia took a step forward, bowed deeply and said: "What the people rely on is the cannon of the giant ship, and the strength of its sailor is far superior to that of the Qiantang sailor!" If you want to attack, you can't do it without the power of the water master! ”

Li Dongyang glanced at him, and also arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has a word, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Li Dongyang straightened up and said: "If you attack a black yi, you will have to make such a big move, I'm afraid that the treasury will be a little unbearable!" The year before last, the little Mongolian prince defeated Yismayin, and last year was to knock again! The nine sides have eroded so far, is it possible to become the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be one more nine sides? ”

"What does Elder Li Ge mean by this?" Liu Daxia said with a thorn in his words: "Is it difficult to achieve and let the people become bigger?"

"Lord Liu has misunderstood!" Li Dongyang looked at Emperor Hongzhi and said: "The meaning is that the trouble of the Eastern Qin Dynasty is that we need to take a slow strategy, since the Huang people can take Ryukyu in the west and attack Shuangyu in the north, it shows that its momentum is rising in the past few years!" But a barbarian is a barbarian, and it can burst out for a while, and all it asks for is to switch the mutual market! ”

"Da Ming can be rewarded, and then give him a port trade! As long as we buy some time and let the southeast reorganize its armaments, in a few years, maybe the people will be weakened, and then we will strike another thunderous blow, and it will be a safe policy! rashly use troops, if the Huang people really wreak havoc on Jiangsu and Zhejiang, then the Ming Dynasty will pay heavy taxes, and it will inevitably be ruined! ”

"At that time, the land of the southeast will be corrupted, and when there is a problem with the salary, there will be turmoil on the nine sides! I'm afraid that the little Mongolian prince will invade the south on a large scale, and at that time, how should the Ming Dynasty deal with itself? ”

Liu Daxia couldn't help but smile and sighed: "It seems that the pavilion really doesn't understand things!"

"The old man really doesn't understand, what the people rely on is just boats, how different is it from the Japanese robbers? It's just a stronger wolf! We reacted rashly, but we hit the bottom line! ”

Liu Daxia said: "Ge Lao may not know that the people of Dongqin Island, farming, and hundreds of labors, they can make iron pots, armor, and blades, and their artillery is also far sharper than the Ming Dynasty!" The subordinate personally supervises the imitation, no matter how hard my Ming craftsmen try, they can't do it like a firearm! But even the imitation firearms are far superior to the firearms of my Daming! ”

"In addition, the people of the Yellow Dynasty are also prosperous merchants, and the things they have created have been sold all over the Ming Dynasty! On its island, there are unbelievable things everywhere, according to Wang Heng Wang Lord's explanation, the people are good at the power of water and fire, and you can see coal fire and black smoke everywhere! The soldiers are even more brave hardcover, and the ranks are strict! The officials on the island are all called cadres! There are many departments and full-time directors! ”

"His people are even more attached, and when he hears the king, he hears his parents, and when he sees the king, he weeps with gratitude! Let's ask Elder Ge, isn't it a big trouble for such a Dongqin? Liu Daxia's tone became excited.

After all, Li Dongyang is an old and serious person, he lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "The people are good at boats, even if they are in great trouble, without the power of this boat, I am afraid that they will have to be discounted!" But the Mongols are good at riding and shooting, as long as 100,000 people who control the strings knock on the level, it is the national capital that is shaken? Datong Town is far from Beijing, but it is only a few days away! ”

"So Yu Huang people, if you can make peace, you will be peaceful! Waiting for the rearmament war, the southeast coast has long been prepared, and even if the people attack, it will be difficult to gain a firm foothold! If the army is used rashly, the people are longer than boats and boats, and they can escape at any time, and then the southeast half of the wall is negligent in preparation, and the people will be able to plunder like the wind! ”

Liu Daxia is not easy to refute this, if they are really invincible in a battle, they are longer than boats, and I am afraid that they will really plunder like the wind.

Li Dongyang's strategy is to take a fancy to a Fu word, in exchange for time, so that the southeast half of the wall has more time to rectify, if there are two or three years, at least the guard can be cleared and the number of troops can be replenished.

Just two or three years? Liu Daxia thinks that he is a black person, and he must be even more powerful at that time, and I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be helpless at that time.

Can you be powerful? Isn't the Tartar of the north powerful?

Liu Daxia arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, for Dong Qin, if you don't fight him with one blow, I'm afraid they will get an inch!" The minister thought that even if the salary was apportioned, this battle must be fought as soon as possible, otherwise a few years later, there will be more soldiers and ships, and how should the Ming Dynasty deal with himself? ”

"Apportionment is absolutely impossible!" Li Dongyang and Liu Jian spoke in unison.

Emperor Hongzhi also had a headache, the situation in the north and the south, not to mention him, was somewhat similar to the Zhu Yuanzhang period.

In terms of importance, the Jingshi is definitely more important, and the threat of the Mongols is also greater.

But it is not appropriate for the people to not fight and let them entrench themselves on Shuangyu Island.

"Xie Qing, what do you think about this matter?" Emperor Hongji asked suddenly.

Xie Qian arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the war is just money and food!" And the world's money and grain are mostly in the south half of the Yangtze River, according to the minister's opinion, the sudden outbreak of the people in recent years, must have a strength, its ability to attack the Ryukyus, take Shuangyu, which shows that its troops are also prosperous! It is not easy to draw conclusions between the suppression and appeasement, and it should be used at the same time. ”

"First, you can send envoys to appease the people. Since he asked Lord Meng to bring back the words and was willing to negotiate, it means that the people don't want to use swords anymore, they just want to get a port to trade with each other! We can talk and prepare! Waiting for the opportunity to seek a fighter again, as long as you seize the fighter, it will be a thunderous blow to expel the people on Shuangyu Island! ”

"Second, rectify the coastal guards, transfer garrisons from all over the country, and increase the defenders along the coast of Zhejiang! As for the silver that is opened, you can find a coastal merchant to pledge it! The occupancy of Shuangyu Island by the Tuo people is also a threat to them! ”

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, Xie Qian's proposal was exactly the way to moderate the first two adults, and it sounded feasible. Moreover, the coastal merchants traded with the Huang people, and if they were asked to pledge donations, they would have to eat coptis dumbly, which would more or less show one or two.

"What Master Xie said, the old man thinks it is feasible!" Li Dongyang spoke, this is a dilemma, the meaning of suppressing and waiting for the opportunity is not to use soldiers, but not to use troops rashly, and to seize the opportunity or act cheaply, and it is just right to deal with the people.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "That's all it takes!"
