Chapter 712: A Man Rebels and Kills a Village.
Li Banghua was confused when he left.
He couldn't think of anything to be happy about, so he went to find the British bluff.
"Lao Li, you have been following Your Majesty for so long, and you still don't understand Your Majesty's thoughts?" Zhang Zhiji immediately laughed after hearing his words.
"What's in your mind? Isn't that a good thing?"
"You, it's not a good thing that a soldier is lost. But if this thing is done, it's a good thing! Think about it, since Your Majesty ascended the throne, what year has it not been a war? You want to get back the soldiers, but what Your Majesty thinks is that not only do you have to get the soldiers back, but you also have to take back the entire Wa Kingdom, right?"
"Huh?" Li Banghua's eyes widened, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.
"Grandpa, this country is not as good as Lu Song, North Korea and other countries, not to mention their strength for the time being. Even if it is defeated, it will be far overseas, and I am afraid it will not be easy to govern, right?"
"You mean that those who are afraid of their disobedience?"
"Exactly."
"Wouldn't it be better to kill the disobedient?"
"Can you finish killing this?"
In Li Banghua's view, although Japan is far overseas, it used to be friendly with the Ming Dynasty and was a tributary country of the Ming Dynasty, but it is really a *** country.
In addition, the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate is not weak, and the population is large, at least more than 10 million, where can it be killed.
"Grandpa, this is not a trivial matter, our Ming Dynasty's national strength has just been restored, don't fall into it..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty has his own measure. Don't speculate here, I'll attack and see Your Majesty tomorrow. If there is a war, how can there be fewer people in my camp!"
"You..."
Li Banghua looked at Zhang Zhiji helplessly and sighed.
"Don't sigh, drink some later? Maozi."
"It's okay..."
Early the next morning, Zhang Zhiji ran to see Zhu Youzhen, but before he could speak, Zhu Youzhen guessed his intention.
"What? Itchy hands again?"
"Hehe, Your Majesty Mingjian. It's just that those little cubs in the Beijing camp haven't fought for a long time, and they are all in a hurry, looking forward to earning military merits!"
"Don't worry, it's indispensable to let your people from the capital camp go to battle. The Wa Kingdom is different from other places, and even if it is defeated, the resistance will definitely not be weak. I'm afraid that the Beijing camp will send a lot of soldiers over at that time!"
"Your Majesty is really planning to attack the Wa Kingdom?"
"I've had this idea for a long time, but I haven't been able to spare my hands. Now that the situation in Mongolia is gradually stabilizing, it is almost time."
"Okay!"
Zhang Zhiji rubbed his hands.
As he was talking, Xie Xuelong was outside asking to see him, but after a while, everyone in the cabinet was also called over.
Xie Xuelong came from Tianjin, and when he arrived, it was already dark, so he went back to his mansion for one night, and entered the palace early in the morning.
Zhu Youzhen saw that everyone had arrived, and he didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point:
"One of our soldiers has been lost in the Wa Kingdom, and I am ready to attack the Wa Kingdom with all my strength and include the Wa Kingdom in the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
The people in the hall more or less knew some news, but they were still directly shocked by Zhu Youzhen's direction.
"Your Majesty, our soldiers have been lost in the Wa Kingdom, let the Inspector Xie lead the fleet to go on a trip to scare and scare them, I think they will not dare not cooperate. How is it worth making such a big move? As soon as this cannon sounded, there were 10,000 taels of gold, and the money consumed was not a small amount.
The Wa Kingdom is no more populous than other small countries, and the Tokugawa Shogunate was newly built, so we can fight it, but if we want to defend it, I'm afraid we will have to send a lot of soldiers to garrison it for a long time, and the cost will be too high?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, there was really no one else except Bi Ziyan.
He has always been like this, as long as he hears about the war, his first reaction is to oppose it. After all, it costs money to fight, and they have to spend money to spend money. Although the household is very wealthy now, he doesn't care about those, he only goes in and doesn't leave, and the feeling of watching the mountains of silver is so good that he is reluctant
has to spend, even if there is more money, he is not willing to spend it.
What is it called?
The richer you are, the more you pick the door, which can basically describe Bi Ziyan at this time.
In the past, the rest of the cabinet would have raised different opinions, but for now, everyone has remained silent for the time being.
It is true that the Wa Kingdom is different from the countries of Lüsong, Jiaozhi, and Korea.
The natives of Lu Song have been oppressed for a long time and are used to it.
Jiaozhi has been an indispensable part of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times.
As for North Korea, his son still took the initiative to recognize his father.
Relatively speaking, they are relatively easy to manage.
But the Wa Kingdom is different, their history is not short, and they have dealt with the Ming Dynasty for a long time. But the people of this country are naturally rebellious, rich and powerful, and when the country is strong, he calls him Dad. But when the national power weakened, he began to act as an unfilial son again.
These are all historical testimonies of many years, so everyone has not considered whether they can fight or not, but how to govern after the fight.
"Bi Qing, there is a silver mine in Japan called Iwami Silver Mine, which is currently the largest silver mine in the world! Let's dig it down and dig it ourselves, and we can blow up your household's treasury!"
"Is this true?" Bi Ziyan's eyes lit up.
"How can I tell a lie?" Zhu Youzhen affirmed with a smile.
When Bi Ziyan heard this, he took a step back, and it seemed that he didn't plan to talk any more.
Several other people secretly slandered in their hearts, Bi Lao Kou really had no position, and a silver mine made him rebel.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't doubt that my Ming can win the war, but more about the aftermath of the war! Although the country is small, it has a large population, and if there are continuous rebellions after the occupation, I am afraid that it will seriously deplete the national strength of our Ming Dynasty.
Over the years, our dynasty has fought many battles, and although there have been few casualties, we have also consumed a lot of money and food, so should we rest and recuperate for some time?"
Seeing that several people didn't speak, Fan Jingwen had to take the lead in saying his thoughts.
"You're right, if you put it back in the past, countries that have been at war for a long time do need to recuperate. But my situation at this time is different from the past, due to the advanced firearms of our army, the casualties of the soldiers on the battlefield are extremely low, and they can even be ignored!
Since there are no dead people, what is the recuperation?
The steel of the Anmoto Iron and Steel Group is constantly being produced, and the guns and ammunition in the arsenal have long been piled up. But these things are dead, only gold and silver are alive! Isn't the country of Wa not opening its eyes? Let's beat them! Use guns and ammunition on them, kill their soldiers, and enslave their people. Let them pick mulberry and grow grain for us, and let the people of Daming enjoy their offerings! Is there anything wrong with that?
You are just afraid that during the occupation, there will be all kinds of rebellions, and you will need to invest a lot of human and financial resources to maintain the situation. Then I will tell you the solution.
There is a rebellion! Kill a village!
There is a village rebellion! Kill a county!
There is a county that rebels and kills a country!
If one country rebels, kill one county!
Aren't they numerous? See if I'm done or not?"
