This is a note sent by Zhu Ying, stating that Laos is unwilling to surrender, and driving away the Ming merchants, Siam, Bago, Manchu, Johor and other southeastern Yi countries to drive out the Ming merchants, Ava and Luchuan imprisoned or killed the Ming merchants.

Zhu Ying guessed that the countries had formed an alliance to deal with the Ming Dynasty together.

Sinikju rebelled continuously, and the place began to degenerate.

Cochin was isolated by other countries, and Qin Hongshangshu, the prefect of Nanke Province, said that Siam and Laos had frequent military movements.

He also received information from Lu Gao in Siam that the Luchuan State had bought the Yunnan Tusi, and the Yunnan Tusi would also cooperate to make trouble.

The entire southwest of the Ming Dynasty is facing a huge threat.

After reading it, Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "Daming doesn't slaughter the city, does Daming treat him as a sick cat?" If you dare to come, I will let you have no return! ”

"The one who is good at dancing with long sleeves must be the King of Siam!"

"The Anti-Ming Alliance, he must be leading!"

Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth: "Announce the old lady, Ye Sheng, Qiu Jun and others, and then send this secret letter to the center!" Let the Cabinet consult! ”

"Emperor, the palace gate is about to fall into the key."

"Urgent, let the ministers stay in the previous dynasty, and they don't have to go home."

The Qianqing Palace is the dividing line, the south is the harem, and the north is the former dynasty.

Feng Xiao sent someone to deliver the message.

Seeing the tip of the iceberg, his face changed slightly, and he knew that the emperor did not want to fight an unprepared war and annex Cambodia, and he really urgently needed to resettle the population, otherwise there would be no war in the south in the next few years.

Da Ming needs to open the entrance to the Western Regions and let Da Ming return to the world stage.

But the war came in an instant, forcing the Ming Dynasty to respond to the war, wasting national strength in vain.

Emperors are not fools.

If they don't take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Ming Dynasty to drive the Ming out of Southeast Asia, they are also worried about stepping into the footsteps of Annam.

Hu Hu was tired for a day, and fell asleep while lying in his clothes, but was woken up by a servant and heard that the emperor hurriedly entered the palace.

Apparently something terrible has happened.

Otherwise, the emperor would not be so inconsiderate of his courtiers, could it be that the death of the king of the gods caused something?

I didn't feel like it again, and I pondered all the way.

Ye Sheng was also stunned, they had just come back from the palace.

On the way, I saw Qiu Jun, He Qiaoxin, and Peng Shao.

Qiu Jun received the news: "It seems that it is a letter from the southeastern vassal country to crusade against the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Dufu." ”

Ye Sheng's face changed: "Give them what they are used to!" They pay tribute once in ten years, Daming has a lot of rewards, and in recent years, they have been rewarded, taking advantage of it, and they turned their faces and bit Daming, it's really damned! ”

"Elder Ye Ge, now is not the time to be angry, Daming is in a critical stage of reform, and it is more important at home than abroad." He Qiaoxin smiled bitterly.

Ye Sheng's eyes narrowed, the timing chosen by the southeastern subject country was very good, obviously there was a spy in the country, otherwise it would not have allowed all the countries to unite and unanimously aim at the Ming Dynasty!

This is a means of deflecting internal contradictions, and it is not obvious who is manipulating?

When I entered the Qianqing Palace, I saw that the emperor's face was sinking like water.

Hu Hu looked at the transcription, and his brows furrowed deeply: "What are these subject countries going to do?" Take advantage of Daming's weakness to bite Daming? ”

"If the Ming Dynasty has a million soldiers, they will slaughter all these countries!" Peng Shao was very angry.

Qiu Jun snorted coldly: "This kind of alliance, but the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, my Ming Xiong soldiers of 200,000 are stationed in Jiaozhi, all of them are the most elite northern army, can't they still clean up a group of small coalition troops?" ”

"Water war, we're not afraid of it!"

"More than 700,000 sailors and 100,000 warships, just use people to pile them up, and you can pile them into the sea!"

This is the confidence of Daming.

The army of sea and land can be dominant.

He Qiaoxin didn't speak, what he was thinking about was deep-seated political factors.

Zhu Qizhen's death is inseparable from the Jiangnan gentry.

And this time, the use of foreign contradictions to divert domestic contradictions made it clear that it was the handiwork of the gentry, and they were really afraid of being killed by the emperor.

After all, the people who can contact the southeastern countries are the Jiangnan gentry who used to be maritime merchants, and these people only punish the evil, that is, the Mo family's property, and the people are not killed, they are all removed to Jiaozhi.

So the revenge came.

Look at the holy decree passed by the emperor, the rectification of the Qinglou is actually the rectification of the officials, which will hit a large number of gentry, and the gentry in the world cannot escape the emperor's iron fist.

They didn't dare to confront the emperor, so they diverted the contradiction and shifted the emperor's attention abroad.

This hand is a wonderful way to deflect contradictions.

"Gentlemen."

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold, and he slowly stood up: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only I have bullied others, and I have been beaten to the door for the first time!" ”

It's Zhu Qizhen, don't you also fight a battle hard, it's just that the army was defeated and surrendered.

"What did I tell those merchants when they went abroad?"

"I told them that behind you is Da Ming and me, and whoever dares to bully you is riding on my neck to! I'm in charge of them! ”

"I have issued a holy decree and warned more than 100 subject countries of the Ming Dynasty!"

"But they take my words like a fart!"

"Expelling the Ming merchants, killing the Ming merchants, it's against them!"

"If they want to fight, I will fulfill them, as long as the war starts, how they want to end it, and when it will end, only I can decide!"

Zhu Qiyu's face was full of ferocity: "Who picked up this anti-Ming alliance?" This man will die! and their kingdom shall perish! There is no room for negotiation! ”

Daming is not ready to fight this battle, but it does not mean that Daming can't fight, after the Guangxi Army is discharged, there are 1.5 million soldiers in Daming, and this is not counting the more than 600,000 sailors.

It's a big deal that the north will wait a few more years and clean them up first.

Hu Hui saluted: "If you don't hit the heads of these countries, they don't know the power of the Ming Dynasty at all!" ”

"But the old minister thinks that this battle should not be expanded, and it is enough to repel the enemy."

"Let's build a peace of mind, and at the latest five years, turn the place of trade into a bridgehead for war. The Ming Dynasty will go out again to conquer a million heroes and wipe out all the subject countries! ”

At the peak of the Ming Dynasty, there were 148 subject states.

There are more than a hundred of them today.

"The outside must first be inside, now is the critical moment of reform, as long as you survive these two years, the Ming Dynasty will be invincible."

Ye Sheng said: "Weichen also believes that now is not a good opportunity to go to war. ”

Qiu Jun and Peng Shao agreed.

Zhu Qiyu looked at He Qiaoxin, who had been silent: "What do you think?" ”

"The minister thinks that behind the war is all politics, and the invasion of the Ming by the coalition forces of the southeastern countries is actually a counterattack by the gentry against the center."

"As long as Your Majesty regulates the gentry of the world, only external troubles will not affect the overall situation."

He Qiaoxin said: "It is the ministers who think that they will not fight a single battle, withdraw from Cambodia, shrink in Cochin, and cut off maritime contacts." ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu directly denied: "Don't you want my face?" ”

"More than 10,000 people died in Cambodia, and now they are retreating, how can I explain to their families?"

"Also, the people who moved to Cochin, there is no Cambodia, where to settle?"

"Cambodia must not be lost!"

Zhu Qiyu was resolute.

"Your Majesty, now is not a battle of wills, but concentrating on rectifying the country is the right solution." He Qiaoxin insisted.

Hu Hu said: "He Hanlin, what you think is too simple, if we retreat, they will enter, this is human nature." ”

"On the contrary, it will boost the morale of the enemy, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"Drag it out, and when the rainy season comes, we will fall into the downwind."

"Not only to fight, but also to fight quickly, before the rainy season comes, to end the war!"

"We just want to win, not turf."

These words to the emperor's thoughts.

But Zhu Qiyu was not satisfied: "What are you Aiqing worried about, I know." ”

"How many troops can be sent by the southeastern coalition army!"

"My Northern Army is the most elite army in the world, don't look at only 200,000, but they are all good at one as ten, even if the coalition army has 5 million people, they can't enter Jiaozhi!"

"Moreover, I don't have the habit of being beaten passively!"

"I raised six or seven hundred thousand navy, and I didn't eat dry food!"

"This battle is not only to be fought, but also to be won!"

Everyone can see that the emperor is not angry, but very angry.

The good reform process has been interrupted several times.

Yu Shiyue is also stupid, this hasn't been found out yet!

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were fierce: "I understand, you don't want to fight, it's not that you're afraid of war, but because you're worried about military spending!" ”

"When Zheng He, Sumatra fought with the Ming army and was beaten and fled, but Zheng He, that idiot, let them go after the fight, and pretended to give them treasures, which is really stupid!"

"If I were Emperor Taizong, I would have issued a holy decree to hang Zheng He up and whip ten whips, and let him go to Sumatra to collect one million taels of silver from me as war reparations!"

"Military expenses are coming out!"

"To be precise, it is a defeated country!"

I knew that the emperor had a moth, and he originally wanted to scrape oil and water from these poor countries.

Hu Hu and Ye Sheng rolled their eyes wildly: "Your Majesty, you only see victory, but you don't see how poor Sumatra is!" ”

"Where is the military expenses of one million taels of silver?"

"The eunuch of the Three Treasures is also very helpless, if he can scrape out oil and water, how can he not want it?"

"Otherwise, why would we close ourselves off from the country, because we are too poor abroad."

Qiu Jun and others also think so.

Zheng He, who is a top talent in all aspects, how can he not see profits, but there is none.

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Zhuqing, what do you think wealth is?" ”

Qiu Jun listened, this is my major.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the essence of wealth is labor, and labor can create wealth, so he said that the silver is also the silver made through labor, and if there is no labor of the whole society, then the silver is worthless."

This is Qiu Jun's economic theory, which was put forward hundreds of years before the West.

It is a pity that no one has paid attention to Qiu Jun's contribution to the economy in history.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at him appreciatively: "That's right, it's labor, Sumatra is poor, but they have people, don't they create wealth by arresting people and giving them to us as slaves." ”

"What's more, in the land of Sumatra Nai, where the natives have gold in their hands, do you tell me that the nobles have no gold?"

There is indeed gold, and they trade with the Ming Dynasty, and they all trade with gold.

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "So this battle must not only be fought, but also fought!" ”

"The Ming Dynasty wants to be victorious, and after the victory, ask the coalition countries for 500 million silver coins, and if they don't give it, they will destroy their country and enslave their people!"

As he spoke, he held out five fingers.

Hu Hu gasped, you are robbing money, if they have so much money, we will not close the country.

"Your Majesty, where are the soldiers transferred!"

Ye Sheng smiled bitterly: "Just looking at this posture, I'm afraid that the Southeast Yi is all involved, and there are more than 60 small countries in the Southeast Yi, all of which are island lands, and I am afraid that more than one million troops will be mobilized." ”

"Let's not talk about whether the finances can support it, we don't have so many people!"

"Let's rashly occupy so many places, how much does it cost to build and immigrate, Daming can't afford it!"

It's the truth.

Those countries are weak, but people can run.

People run away, Daming goes to fight one country after another, how much does it cost, the problem of distance is unsolvable.

If you occupy the territory, you have to build, and look at how much it costs to smash it in, and Jiaozhi still looks like a bear.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty closed the country, because it could not be provoked, these poor countries would extort the Ming Dynasty, and those who wore shoes were really afraid of being barefoot.

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "Ye Qing, do you imagine Dongnanyi as Wara?" ”

Ye Sheng was stunned.

"Seeing the strength of the Cambodian army, General Guo Deng, 90,000 people, defeated Cambodia in a month."

"Do you think the strength of those small island countries can be stronger than Cambodia?"

When the emperor said this, it seems that this is the truth.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "To be honest, I am not even reluctant to transfer the northern army, it is the elite of the world, they exchange twenty people for one, and I am all lost!" ”

These northern armies are all elite border troops, and they have experienced many battles such as the Battle of Tumubao, the Battle of Warat, and the Battle of Tatar, and they are definitely the elite of the elite.

The point is that there are a lot of cavalry in here, and it is a loss to die under the horse.

"Tell me, how is Daming's life?"

He changed his mind.

Ye Sheng replied: "Although it is not a prosperous world, at least the people of the world can be hungry, not to mention full, it is good to be alive." ”

It's the truth.

"There are people everywhere in the world who can't eat, especially those who are half-sized."

"As the saying goes, half the size of the child, eat the dead man."

"A common man and his wife, both with five or six children, cannot afford to raise them, cannot eat enough and will not die of hunger."

"And how many men are idle at home?"

"I plan to recruit two million and a half children from the people, those over the age of fifteen, those under the age of twenty, and those with large families."

Now there are many people and little land, and a family of seven or eight men serves a few acres of land, which is only enough to eat, and there are people everywhere who want to make money.

And these half-grown boys are at the age of being brave and ruthless, and they don't know how to write dead words, these are all good soldiers.

"Your Majesty, those poor boys are skinny, naughty, and don't understand the rules, how can they be recruited into the army?"

Of course, if you can't eat enough, you will lose weight, especially if you have no oil and water in your stomach, you can eat it very well, and your stomach is like a bottomless pit, and you will lose weight after eating so much.

Normally, this kind of soldier is not conscripted, and it is not cost-effective to spend more money.

"It doesn't matter if you're thin or not, you will grow after eating in the army for two months."

"The point is, there are tens of millions of such people!"

To put it bluntly, even if you lose it, you don't feel distressed.

It can also reduce the local population.

The rest is another group of elite members of the Southern Army.

Crucially, it also reduces the burden on the local community, who can move directly to the new land.

Hu Hu looked at the emperor in surprise, what is the emperor going to do? What is the purpose of spending a huge amount of money to train an elite of the Yugoslav army?

"Your Majesty, two million people, how much silver will be consumed!" Ye Sheng felt terrifying.

"The settling-in allowance is one dollar, and the military salary is paid according to the minimum standard, and it takes at least five yuan to eat in the army for six months and put it on the battlefield."

Peng Shao snapped his fingers and calculated: "Two million people is 10 million silver coins." ”

"Plus equipment, marching allowances, military consumption, pensions, etc., and you need another 10 million."

"There's no war yet, so that's all there is to it."

"Your Majesty, this is too much!"

Daming was at its peak last year, with an income of 23 million taels.

"What if these people bring me 100 million in profits? Is it more? Zhu Qiyu asked him.

Is it possible?

Those countries are so poor that they can't even open the pot, how can I get so much money to pay you!

Hu Hu and Ye Sheng glanced at each other, but they felt that it was a good deal.

What about the value of the land!

These lands are all land where grain is produced.

Why is Daming in a hurry to fight Cambodia, isn't it in a hurry to resettle the domestic population, if you can use 20 million to conquer the southeast land, even if you invest another 100 million, you will make money.

But this has to be supported by the internal treasury for a long time, anyway, the emperor has a lot of silver.

"Your Majesty, what if you can't get it back?" Hu Hu was a little moved.

"If I lose money, I will at least earn a face, and 20 million will buy me a face, will I lose?"

Who dares to say that it is a loss.

Hu Hu and Ye Shengsuan saw that the emperor was determined to fight.

"That domestic ......"

"The country is the country, the war is the war, the two are not next to each other, the war must be fought, and the domestic construction cannot be stopped!"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Then recruit the army first." ”

"War has to stagger the rainy season."

"In this way, we will strive to send the conscripted army to Guangxi before July, and familiarize ourselves with the climate in Guangxi for three months, and after the rainy season passes in October, we will enter Jiaozhi and become familiar with the climate in Jiaozhi for a month."

"November, or December!"

In front, we must first repel the southeastern coalition army, and then use the new army to pacify the countries.

"Your Majesty, this battle needs to coordinate the land and water armies, and I am afraid that we will have to transport war horses over, and cavalry will be required to fight mobile warfare."

Hu Hu smiled bitterly: "Who do you think is handsome?" ”

Annan Ma is too small, and the tall Han people can't show their size.

This is obvious, Yu Qianbei.

Fang Ying can't do it, Fang Ying's command of 100,000 elites is a big hurdle, let him take hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, and he will have to disrupt it.

Zhu Qiyu frowned: "I can't bear to let the elite of the Northern Army be consumed." ”

"Immediately, the weather will get hotter and hotter, and the heat in Cochin is not the same as the heat in Beijing, and the Northern Army may not be able to stand it."

"I want to order the Northern Army to be transferred back."

Yu Kang led the Northern Army, which was stationed in Cambodia and Cochin at this time, ready to slaughter the city at any time to make money.

Seeing that the emperor avoided talking about the commander, Hu Hu smiled bitterly: "Transfer back to the Northern Army, which army can be used?" ”

"The Japanese army, the Guizhou army, the Korean army."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Then order Wang Yue to recruit troops in North Korea, more and more conscriptions, as many as you want." ”

Draw Ding,This is the fastest way to sinicize。

Look at the people in Guangxi who have been pumped, they are already all Han Chinese.

Good and bad are relative, look at the army, how many Guangxi generals have emerged? The natives of Guangxi used to be rich now, who doesn't have a group of wives and concubines? Which family is not a diehard loyalist of the emperor?

Draw Ding from North Korea, there will be a lot of Korean lords, and if there are many battles, they will become loyal to the emperor, and naturally become Han people, loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

"It's good for the Jurchen to be happy, transfer him south, tell him to fight this battle, and I will give him a knighthood."

Dusit is the son of Li Manzhu, and he surrendered to Daming.

"All armies in the southern provinces will send 10,000 people to Jiaozhi for intensive training and adapt to the climate first."

"It's really troublesome to transport armaments from Beijing."

"Establish an ordnance factory in Qiongzhou Prefecture, imitating the Wuhan system, and supply Jiaozhi ordnance."

Daming's development of Qiongzhou is very general, after all, it is lonely overseas, and there is nothing to get its hands on, so it is naturally poor.

After this war, the Qiongzhou Mansion will become rich, and the natives will be able to quickly naturalize.

Later, Qiongzhou Mansion was the ordnance center.

"With such a mixed army, only Yu Qian can be the commander."

"Send the decree to Yu Qian, grant Yu Qian the general military officer of Pingyi, give the sword of the Son of Heaven and the banner of the king's order, command the naval and land armies, and transfer the Jiaozhi Naval Division, the South China Sea Naval Division, the Fujian Naval Division, and the Shanghai Naval Division to obey the orders of the Pingyi General Military Officer."

"Guo Deng, Li Zhen, Ou Xin, and Yu Kang stationed in Cambodia obey Xing Guogong's orders!"

"Jiaozhi up and down, obey Xing Guogong's orders, and the war is ahead of the immigrants."

"Send the decree again, immediately slaughter Cambodia, within a month limit, and the northern army will return to Beijing!"

As for Yunnan, there will be chaos.

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "Transferred 2,000 Buddhist soldiers from Wusi to Yunnan, 10,000 cavalry from Duosi, and 30,000 troops from Sichuan to guard Yunnan." ”

"Then strictly order all the capitals in Guizhou to raise 30,000 troops to support Yunnan, and the Tusi who do not send troops will be regarded as a rebellion!"

"Give the Holy Decree to the Duke of Qianguo, be sure to guard Yunnan."

"Strictly guard the border, if Luchuan attacks Yunnan, the Duke of Qianguo mainly defends, and when the counterattack, I Yun Mujia is the vanguard."

"The armies from other provinces will be transferred to the command of Wang Wen, the governor of Yunnan."

"Send a message to Liang Xuan, the Shanghai Navy Division will set sail, assist the Jiaozhi Navy Division, escort the merchant Jia back to China, and if the road encounters a provocation, allow a counterattack."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Hui: "Old lady, do you think there are any mistakes?" ”

Hu Hui frowned slightly, and thought seriously: "Your Majesty, the Shanghai Navy Division can't assist Jiaozhi, and the old minister is worried about changes in Luzon, Sulu, Boni and other countries. ”

"The Fujian Navy Division can't move, once Borneo, Java and other countries attack Baozhou, or know that our country's armaments are located in Qiongzhou Mansion and attack Qiongzhou Mansion, we will have no power to counterattack."

"If the Tianjin Navy Division is mobilized, I am worried that the Japanese State will enter the war."

"The top priority at the moment is to first collect the land of the Ryukyus, send troops to station, and hold the Japanese state hostage from top to bottom, and prevent them from making any changes."

"Then hold Baozhou, and then seek opportunities to cooperate with Spain and Portugal to seek trade and exports."

"Lao Chen is worried that this battle will not end in a year or two, if the maritime trade is lost because of the war, what is the point of opening the sea in the Ming Dynasty?"

Hu Hu is worthy of being old and seeking the country.

Zhu Qiyu advised: "The Shanghai Sailor and the Fujian Sailor will not be handed over to Xing Guogong for the time being." ”

"Pass the decree to Xiang Zhong, be sure to appease the Wa Kingdom."

"If we hold on to the islands south of Baozhou, we will never allow anyone to interrupt the development of Baozhou."

Baozhou Mansion is a springboard to Luzon.

"Lao Chen's optimistic estimate is that this battle will take ten years."

Hu Hu is so pessimistic, mainly because he is too far away.

These countries were too poor, and when the Ming army landed, they ran into the mountains, trying to force them to pay reparations for defeat, and it was very difficult.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care: "Xing Guogong guards the south, I don't worry." ”

"Ten years, twenty years."

"I have to come out of this breath!"

Hu Hu rolled his eyes, are you angry? You are the land that covets people's homes.

However, these subject countries really don't know the height of the sky, and they want to test the strength of the kingdom, so send them on the road.

The song was passed to the cabinet.

The cabinet just blew up.

Especially for Luchuan and Ava to kill the Ming merchants, they felt contemptible.

Even Shangguo businessmen dare to kill, isn't this a rebellion!

"These two countries must be wiped out!" Li Xian made a loud noise.

Because the emperor circled a red circle on these two countries.

No one in the courtiers objected, and the grievances with Luchuan should be completely settled.

The important ministers are on the agenda.

Yu Shiyue was scolded by the emperor's commandment, and he immediately understood that the direction of the investigation was wrong, and the emperor did not want to know how the king died.

He changed the direction of the investigation, Nangong was piling up a mountain of money, where did the money come from?

I found it after checking, and the merchant sent it.

Immediately arrest all the merchants who sent money to the king of the gods, interrogate why they sent money, what they were plotting, etc., and took the salt merchants out.

Jingshi Street is very lively, because the old bustard of the Qinglou was paraded by the eight lights.

This is the hand of the Cabinet.

Give a bad breath to the oppressed Qinglou woman, and these bustards will also be charged into the military camp.

It is also deserved.

In a window, Zhang Lai'er watched a group of old bustards being paraded through the streets, her eyes were deep, and she sighed faintly, if she didn't have the talisman of Xichang, she would have been involved.

However, she was wearing the official uniform of the head of the West Factory, and she was promoted again.

"What are you looking at?" A man dressed in a commanding officer's robe asked her.

Zhang Lai'er had a deferential face, and the man in front of him was the new commander, named Yuan Bin.

It's that Yuan Bin.

Yuan Bin looked at Zhang Lai'er's coquettish face and said, "You are no longer from the hall, and now you are the general manager of the West Factory." ”

"Mark it to know." Zhang Laier knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully.

Yuan Bin jumped from a death row prisoner to a commander of the West Factory.

He has changed a lot, he used to be a diehard loyalist of the King of the Woling, and accompanied the King of the Woling to spend the most difficult time in Mobei, and the King of the Woling King imprisoned the South Palace for several years, and he waited silently outside the palace.

finally waited, but it was the end of his whole family being ravaged to death by Cao Jixiang.

He was proposed by Zheng Youyi to work as an errand in the West Factory, and he picked up a dog's life.

In just three years, he has gone from an ordinary fan to the position of the commander of the West Factory.

He also ended his past with his own hands.

Yuan Bin glanced in the direction of Nangong, and then went downstairs without looking back, went to Xichang, and the admiral eunuch Zheng Youyi had something to look for him.

Almost, Yu Shiyue found him.

Fortunately, the emperor scolded Yu Shiyue back with a verbal order, and only then began to follow the emperor's wishes.

"The emperor has a secret decree to build an ordnance factory in Qiongzhou Mansion."

Zheng Youyi looked at Yuan Bin, and there was no joy or anger in his eyes: "How important this matter is, don't you need to say it?" ”

"Over the years, the West Factory has not been out in the field, but only responsible for finding out the ghosts inside and checking the scum in the factory guard."

"And the construction of the ordnance factory, such a major matter, the emperor specially handed over to the West Factory, is the trust of the West Factory, the governor handed over this matter to Yuan Bin and Zhang Lai'er, you two are responsible, you must not bear the emperor's grace!"

As soon as he heard that there was a task, Zhang Laier's face was overjoyed.

Yuan Bin knelt on the ground and took over the task.

It is necessary to select craftsmen from the Ordnance Bureau and the War Bureau to preside over the past, and it is also necessary to build a blast furnace and other things, which requires a little time to prepare.

During this time, Yuan Bin transferred people from the West Factory and took people to select the site.

You can't just pick a place to build, Qiongzhou Mansion has convenient sea transportation, which will also attract coveted by many countries, you must choose a safe place to build a factory, and you can't be too far from the port.

Zheng Youyi is very satisfied with the red pill case operated by Yuan Bin, and he is also entangled, Yuan Bin knows too much, should he kill people?

But the emperor didn't instruct, and he hesitated for a while.

So I chose Yuan Bin to go to Qiongzhou Mansion, first, to leave the Beijing Division, so as to save being found; The second is that if the emperor wants to kill him, it is also convenient to kill.

But it's more about avoiding the limelight.

Yuan Bin was grateful.

The Xingguo Mansion, which is full of birds, is particularly lively today, with dukes and ministers from all walks of life visiting.

But no one could enter Yu Qian's mansion.

Yu Qian didn't see anything.

At this moment, he was like a wounded cat, and he felt the emperor's contempt!

The emperor gave him another chance to lead his army into battle.

And there were no restrictions, allowing him to choose generals from various armies, and also let all the Jinshi of the Lecture Hall and the Hanlin Academy go with the army to learn to fight.

The eunuchs in the palace, the factory guards, and hundreds of people had to go to war with them.

The emperor was sure that he Yu Qian would not dare to rebel!

Yes, I don't dare!

The emperor showed an extremely broad mind, and did not suspect that he would rebel at all.

Even if you show a little, it makes me feel better!

Yu Qian felt contempt, contempt, and even ignorance!

The emperor didn't think of him like anything at all!

He also made up the Chen You case, and wanted to go out to command the troops and jump out of the circle of the Beijing Division.

Now it seems that he realized how ridiculous he was, he was a clown, a clown who relieved the emperor's boredom.

The decree that sent him to command the army was more like a joke on him.

laughed at him Yu Qian, he took himself too seriously!

The emperor has absolute imperial power, and he is not afraid of anyone rebelling at all, because you can't rebel!

If you Yu Qian rebel, I'm afraid you won't be able to mobilize even Yu Kang!

Then why should I be suspicious of you? Little fools!

"Woooooo

Yu Qian lay on the table and cried out of a pig.

The old tears were so embarrassed that he couldn't stop flowing: "The old man takes himself too seriously, no matter how great he makes a great feat, is it bigger than Xu Da?" ”

"Did Emperor Taizu worry about Xu Da's rebellion?"

"The blue jade who sealed the wolf Juxu, didn't he also say that he would kill it?"

"The old man takes himself too seriously!"

"So the clown is myself!"

"Woooooo

Yu Qian, who was in his sixties, was crying.

He took himself too seriously, and he didn't take the emperor too seriously.

Think that the emperor is not good at fighting, so he can't control you Yu Qian?

Looking at the various armies deployed by the emperor, you can see that there must be factions in the army, and it is impossible to follow Yu Qian to rebel with one mind?

The most terrible thing is that the power to transfer troops is in the hands of the emperor, and no one has the right to mobilize the army without the military aircraft to seal it.

The logistics are in Zhu Ying's hands.

Will Zhu Ying follow him Yu Qian to rebel? Impossible.

Therefore, Yu Qian is just a tool in the hands of the emperor.

At this moment, Yu Qian realized that he was a fucking tool man.

The emperor can use it if he wants, and throw it away if he doesn't want to use it.

That's where he stands.

After Yu Qian finished crying, he asked people to pack their bags and go to Jiaozhi.

Tool men are also stronger than dead people.

When Fang Ying received the news, she didn't feel good in her heart, he was the Duke of Jiaoguo, and he should be allowed to fight the war in Jiaozhi.

Why let Yu Qian fight, Yu Qian is already the prince of the country, there is no way to seal it, is it the king?

He never thought that he would not be able to command hundreds of thousands of troops.

Since he was crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, he has drifted.

His eldest son gave birth to a son and three daughters, and he was already married to Tao Cheng, the eldest daughter married Tao Lu as his wife, the second daughter married Yang Wuhou as his wife, and the third daughter married Guo Jing's eldest son.

Guo Jing is Guo Deng's brother, and he is the henchman of the emperor's henchmen.

Guo Jing, like Song Jie, served as a guard in the palace for more than ten years before being released as a general, and now he is still guarding the emperor in Nanjing.

His two grandsons are still waiting to be sold.

After returning to Beijing, Fang Ying was very flamboyant, throwing money around, paying attention to pomp, drinking and feasting every day, the emperor reprimanded him, and he didn't know how to restrain himself.

is Chen You's son, Chen Neng wants to marry his daughter to his eldest grandson Fang Shouxiang as a concubine.

The concubines of the Houmen give people concubines, which also makes people laugh.

Fang Ying looked down on it, Chen Neng had all the poisons, he had no talent, and he didn't know how to advance or retreat, such a person would be cut off sooner or later.

After Chen Neng was rejected, he went around saying bad things about Fang Ying.

Fang Ying didn't pay attention to this idiot, he would die on this mouth sooner or later.

It's stormy outside.

The palace is very quiet, the emperor has been absent from Beijing for a year and a half, and the empress Tang Yunyan manages the harem and has great power.

She gave birth to another son for the emperor, the eldest of whom was already four years old.

When she heard that Zhu Qizhen died, she actually drank some wine that night, and she knew very well that as soon as Zhu Qizhen died, the emperor's throne would be as stable as Mount Tai.

And the throne is completely stable, and the crown prince is about to be replaced, and her son Zhu Jianqi is about to sit on the throne.

She is extremely intelligent, and has experienced brutal political struggles, and pays special attention to her son's safety and beware of someone assassinating her son.

She also had to ensure the safety of the emperor's other heirs.

The emperor is not in the palace, and if something happens, he has to find her, and she can't afford it.

She played tricks to win the position of queen, which made the emperor extremely disliked, and even the Empress Dowager Wu, who had always loved her, ignored her.

Everything is gone, and only two sons remain.

So she was cautious.

The second son of the emperor is four years old, and he is about to reach the age of studying, so he must seek to get the position of the crown prince before the prince leaves the cabinet to study, so as to prevent changes.

For more than a year, she presided over the harem and turned a deaf ear to the affairs of the previous dynasty, just raising the prince.

The queen did not move, and the harem concubines naturally did not dare to move.

The Cabinet was still arguing, arguing that the money for the war should be paid for and that the Ministry of Household should be responsible for domestic construction.

In this war, I am afraid that the initial cost will cost 2 million, and it will have to be spent later, plus 2 million conscriptions, and then the war, I am afraid it will be more than 23 million.

It's a pure unjust battle, and you can't get back much of the cost.

So the household department doesn't want to pay for it.

The emperor has money, let the emperor out.

At this time, Li Bing had already stepped down from the post of governor of Rehe and was replaced by Wang Shu.

Originally, Wang Shu was supposed to be the governor of Rehe and Li Bing was the governor of Hanzhou, but Hanzhou has not yet been shadowed, so Li Bing is the main and Wang Shu is the auxiliary.

The Ming Dynasty wants to establish the seventh department, the Ministry of Finance, referred to as the Ministry of Finance, and the first secretary is Li Bing.

Rehe Governor became Wang Shu, supplemented by Chen Tai.

Chen Tai is really a genius in architecture, enriching the use of the fortress, developing cement, developing new cement, firing green bricks to pave the way, and reducing the cost of green bricks, all of which are the credit of Chen Tai.

Chen Tai was in Rehe for three years, and he was given twelve silver talismans, which shows his merits.

According to qualifications, Wang Shu and Chen Tai are not qualified to be this official, in the past, Rehe was newly built, and no one was transferred to persuade those with insufficient qualifications, but now Rehe is a piece of fat, who doesn't want to take a few bites.

However, the emperor overrode public opinion and directly decided that Wang Shu's term of office was only one year.

Then the governor was removed, and the power was given to the political envoy.

Li Bing quietly entered Beijing.

The emperor first helped him burn a fire, and when the fire burned out, the ghost would pop out, and then it would be the time for him to establish his finances.

The Qinglou of the world will also be under the joint jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Finance.

And in Nanjing.

Zhu Jianshen was still begging the Empress Dowager Sun not to bury the Zhou family.

Empress Dowager Sun was annoyed when she heard this: "She has that kind of dirty disease, how can she live?" You prepare well, and the emperor will pick a good fief for you. ”

Zhu Jianshen's eyes were gloomy, he grew up in such an extreme political environment, he was not crazy and already had a strong psychological quality.

He's fourteen years old, and he has to be measured, or he won't survive.

"Grandson, the mourning family is old, and it won't be able to shelter for a few years, if you don't take advantage of the fact that the mourning family is still alive, I'm afraid you won't even have the opportunity to seek a fief."

Empress Dowager Sun looked at her: "Go ahead, tell the emperor, which place you fancie, he won't be embarrassed for you." ”

Zhu Jianshen didn't understand, why did the imperial grandmother refuse to save his mother?

But it's still a well-behaved thank you.

Empress Dowager Sun looked at his back and sighed faintly: "Your mother wants too much, and the widow who killed Zhen'er, should she still live in the world?" ”

Nangong leaked everywhere, and the Empress Dowager Sun knew what the Zhou family said.

So she made up her mind to bury the Zhou family.

Although she didn't know if the women were in their stomachs or Zhu Qizhen's son, anyway, they shouldn't be said by the Zhou family, which made her very disgusted.

She thought that Zhou had no relationship with her son, so she martyred her.

"King De is also a wolf."

Empress Dowager Sun snorted coldly: "Let him be the pillar outside the palace of the mourning family, can he be trusted?" ”

Another place to be sealed, she must carefully consider.

The news naturally reached Zhu Qiyu's ears.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen died, his son couldn't afford to turn up the storm, especially when the name was on and the dust had settled.

"Let Sun Jizong accompany the army to the south, give him a chance to make meritorious contributions and earn back the title." Zhu Qiyu naturally reciprocated.

"Yu Shiyue is really stupid, I still can't find out!"

It's already clear, pour dirty water on the salt merchant.

However, Yu Shiyue is slow.

After the cabinet sealed, the decree was issued to various places, first saying that the southeast coalition army attacked the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was forced to counterattack Yunyun.

The secret message was transmitted to Cochin.

Zhu Ying was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and 200,000 northern troops went south, stationed in various parts of Xinyi Prefecture, and also resettled immigrants.

The immigrants who came this year did not have a house to live in.

It is necessary to build houses and divide land.

The land in Cochin is simply not enough, and only some forest land can be divided, which can only be resettled in Cochin first, waiting for it to be moved to Xinyizhou next year.

It is not difficult to build a house, there is wood everywhere, just burn bricks.

Zhu Ying wanted to build a brick road to facilitate passage and marching.

Let all over the country build brick kilns to burn bricks, and brick kilns are everywhere.

Therefore, there is no shortage of timber and turns, and it is quick to build houses, which are temporarily settled, and rations are provided by the government.

But it is not supplied in vain, and it is to be exchanged for wood.

Go into the mountains to cut wood, and exchange wood for food and money.

The huge tropical rainforest of Cochin is rapidly decreasing, and tens of millions of people are cutting trees in the mountains, one tree per person, and the forest is gone.

What's more, it is logging day and night, and no matter how big the forest is, it can't withstand people's perennial logging.

Large-scale logging has given rise to a large number of furniture factories and lumber mills, which are more profitable than selling timber directly, and are made into various types of furniture and shipped back to the mainland for sale.

Houses are being built, and plots of land are changing from forests to raw land to mature land.

The natives kept running higher and deeper into the mountains.

The cultivated land area of Cochin is increasing, the population that can be resettled is increasing, and cities are appearing in Cochin.

The various cities are connected by blue brick roads.

Because the rainy season in Cochin is long, the road is paved with cooked soil, and it is very muddy in the rainy season, and the brick road can be paved to solve the problem of walking in the rainy season.

Zhu Ying gave priority to the development of the direction to Xinyizhou, opened up the primeval forest, and connected it with Xinyizhou.

A large number of latecomers were also settled here.

The envoys who were deported back to China, such as Bian Yong, Pan Benyu and others, remained in Jiaozhi and Qiqi provinces, and were responsible for leading people to cut down the forests leading to Xinyiju.

Most of the later ones were tenants, and they were also born in Jiangnan, and it was not difficult for them to cut down trees with axes.

Crucially, these trees can be exchanged for rations and money.

Zhu Ying sent a secret letter to Guo Deng and the others, agreed on a time, and immediately started to slaughter Xinyizhou first, and then develop it after the rainy season.

and the letters shall be spread to all land.

Those stationed in Xinyizhou are all the elite of the Northern Army, and these people are distressed when an emperor dies.

These days were so comfortable that the old Cambodian woman was about to suck them dry.

After receiving the military order, they immediately put away their lazy attitude, and they all knew very well that the slightest carelessness in slaughtering the city would be counter-killed, and it was not easy to make money.

February 19.

Suddenly there was a storm in Xinyizhou, and the blood could dye the Lancang River red.

Screams and gunfire were heard everywhere.

On the same day, Xia Xun led the Purple Electric Army westward to open up a road for immigrants.

Yu Kang ordered that the knife would not be sealed for seven days, no cannibalism was allowed, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

200,000 Northern Army, plus 150,000 Southern Army.

Of these 150,000, there are more than 70,000 Guangxi troops, 10,000 Guizhou troops, 30,000 Korean troops, and 30,000 Japanese troops, totaling 150,000.

For seven days, Cambodia was erased from the map.

A second ago, he greeted the Ming army, and in an instant, the Ming army turned into a division of tigers and wolves, took out muskets and shot at them.

Seven days later, Yu Kang counted the battle damage, his nose was almost crooked, and he lost 247 people!

They were all greedy for merit, chased into the mountains and were killed.

These people were bold and arrogant, but they died, and Yu Kang couldn't explain to the emperor.

After a three-day rest, the Northern Army returned to Beijing by boat.

The Purple Electric Army led the immigrants to the cities where the smell of blood had not yet dissipated.

Guo Deng is also counting the number of war losses, and the loss of more than 1,000 people, most of them are North Korean soldiers, these North Koreans can't even kill unarmed people, which is really speechless.

It was the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army that impressed him.

These dwarfs are born executioners.

After a three-day rest, all the armies went up the mountain to cut wood, including the new immigrants, because the rainy season was coming, and quickly built houses to survive the rainy season.

At the same time, it is also to shrink the living space of the natives in the mountains and accelerate the pace of their death in the rainy season.

As for the local riots in Cambodia, it is a joke in front of the elite.

The report of the battle was also transmitted to the center.
