Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 787 Deceiving Nobody (Second)

"Go to Japan, what are you going to do in Japan?" Zhu Cihong asked curiously.

He doesn't have a good impression of Japan as a country, but he doesn't have any bad feelings either. The imperial court has had no contact with Japan in the past two years. It is said that it seems to be because of the lock-up order issued there.

"There's a big silver mine over there, and it's no problem to produce one million taels of silver a year. Isn't it worth visiting?" Liu Hongjian said with a smile.

From the [-]th century to the [-]th century, the largest silver-producing country in Asia was Japan. Of course, that was because the large silver mines in the Ming Dynasty had not been discovered and mining was difficult.

Most of the silver mines in Japan are open-pit mining, which is convenient and quick, and the house flower is not as wild as a wild flower. The same is true for silver. Of course, it feels different to use your own family's money than to spend other people's money.

Of course, this was just Liu Hongjian's joke, and the current tense situation would not make Liu Hongjian go to Japan for a silver mine.

The main reason is Japan's geographical location. Except for Qiongzhou and Taiwan, the surrounding areas of Ming Dynasty belong to the Japanese islands. The south is blocked by the Dutch, and the Beiyang Navy is now repairing. The breakthrough can only be Japan.

"Brother Liu, could it be..." Zhu Cihong sat up when he heard the words, and his heart suddenly became very hot.

Throughout the ages, the expansion of territory has always been a meritorious service for emperors. He felt that Liu Hongjian had changed his mind again.

"It's not that easy, how about you try it?" Liu Hongjian glanced at Zhu Cihong and said.

The Beiyang navy killed the two governors of the Dutch in one fell swoop. Before the Dutch fleet invaded, all the Dutch could do was bully and bully the overseas forces of Ming Dynasty.

This includes Dongying Japan. Japan is not far from Daming, and Jinyiwei has a special den there.

According to Jinyiwei's report, Cao Sanxi united with Dutch businessmen to suppress the Zheng family's property, and what's more, some Dutch businessmen relied on the fleet to instigate Japanese daimyo to kill Han people in the near sea.

He just wanted to go and have a look, and tell the Cao family and the Dutch, who is the master of Asia, and what will happen if they betray their motherland.

"Okay, okay, go to bed quickly, we have something to do tomorrow!" It was getting late, Liu Hongjian yawned.

"But I'm not troubled at all!"

"Then think about how you will explain to the Empress Dowager when you return to the palace tomorrow!"

……

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

The fleet of the Netherlands arrived in Taiwan and launched a tentative attack. However, Zheng Sen, who had been waiting for a long time, would not give the Dutch a chance.

The Gaoshan tribe, who had received the favor of the court, was even more ferocious, sneaking up to the side of the Dutch warship and attacking the Dutch warship with cluster grenades wrapped in waterproof materials.

In the end, the Dutch wandered in the Taiwan Strait for four or five days, and had to retreat after losing three warships.

Daming has a long coastline, one place is not enough to try another place, the Marquis Lancelot, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, plans to go to Guangzhou Mansion to bang bang for luck.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, he was caught off guard by Huang Daozhou, who was personally in charge. At the end of February, the Dutch fleet went north along the coast and arrived at Hu Jian Quanzhou.

Quanzhou is the demonstration area set up by Liu Hongjian on the southeast coast, and Qin Yiming, the commander-in-chief of Quanzhou, even set up countless forts along the coast. The Marquis Lancelot's fleet only fired a thousand cannonballs once, and then drove the fleet in a desperate manner. To the sea.

That's horrible!

The artillery range of the Netherlands has no advantage at all under the power of the Daming steel cannon, and the fort has a natural geographical barrier. Even the Netherlands cannot afford the loss of bombarding the fort with a warship.

Not long after, Zhu Cihong received the second letter of credence from the Netherlands.

The Dutch said that they don't need to hand over the king of Anguo, nor do they need to mourn the whole country. They just need to exchange Taiwan and pay a certain amount of military expenses, and they will withdraw their troops, otherwise their fleet will definitely invade Ming Dynasty.

But with Liu Hongjian's previous convictions, Zhu Cihong just laughed it off, because he felt that Daming couldn't be persuaded to let go!
joke!Taiwan belongs to Daming, why should I give it to you, if you have the ability, you can grab it yourself?
But after another half a month, Zhu Cihong couldn't laugh anymore. The long-term economic blockade prevented the import of goods from outside, and the goods from Daming couldn't be sold. booing.

As a result, there were many turmoil in the southeastern provinces, and the people everywhere were full of grievances.

The cabinet held several meetings for this purpose, intending to reconcile with the Dutch. It was impossible for Taiwan to be given to the Dutch, and Zhu Cihong could not agree, but Zhu Cihong agreed to compensate the Dutch for part of their military expenses.

How do you say that they also drove the fleet from the distant Europa to Asia all the way, and just went back in despair without getting anything. Where is the face of the Dutch?
Even Zhu Cihong didn't think it was too much, he had to step down and leave everything behind, so we could meet in the future, right?
But Liu Hongjian disagreed. Not only did he not agree, but he also satirized this mentality of seeking peace in his words, which made the meeting impossible for a while.

There is no way, Liu Hongjian has the title of regent on his head, so the right to speak in such military and state affairs even surpasses Zhu Cihong, and Zhu Cihong seems to have relented, and the courtiers dare not speak out, let alone make trouble up.

Liu Hongjian is well aware of the pissing nature of the European powers. These guys have nothing to gain, and they bully the weak and fear the strong.

The reputation of Daming Tie can't just be left in his hands. During the civil war, the emperor was taken away by the Mongols. The court didn't take a penny for ransom. They carry forward their hands, and they can't embarrass their ancestors.

Only a few days later, Jin Yiwei brought a report from Xinjiang Province, which made Liu Hongjian unable to pretend to be thirteen happily.

Jinyiwei Yamen outside East Chang'an Street.

"My lord, the heart of tigers and wolves in the Raksha Kingdom! You must deploy your defenses early." Jin Yiwei's second commander, Liang Yang, frowned, stroking his beard.

Jin Yiwei reported that the Raksha Kingdom would not hesitate to dispatch a large number of troops to besiege Gu Jia and his party with 24 people on the Kelb Cliff in order to be alone with Gu Jia and his party.

Thanks to Luo Shizhong, the governor of Xinjiang, who understood the overall situation, he sent the general Nigmat to lead his troops into Rakshasa in time to rescue Gu Jia's team.

Among the 24 people, except for five priests and one child, 15 low-level generals of the Ming Frontier Army who had served as instructors of the musketeers of the Chahar Khanate, [-] of them died in battle, freezing to death or even starving to death on the Kelb Mountain Cliff.

Five of them jumped off the cliff and died together with the Raksha people, and Xie Xinghua, deputy of Jin Yiwei, was stabbed four times and died...

When the Raksha State learned that the Ming army had violated the border, the Raksha State, which had already been worried about the contract with Earl, could no longer hold back, and the invasion of the country by soldiers was imminent.

"Is there no one in the Raksha Kingdom?" Liu Hongjian gritted his teeth when he heard this.

He still has some impressions of Xie Xinghua, a kid. Although he is careless, he has never been ambiguous under the righteousness of the nation.

After the eighteen instructors completed the training of the Chahar Khanate Musketeers, none of them was reluctant to stay with Chahar Khan. They resolutely gave up their clothes and returned to Daming. After receiving Liu Hongjian's order, they didn't even return home. And embarked on the slow westbound road to Europa.

"18 people, fifteen of them died in the battle, what the hell! You dog R's Raksha bear!" Liu Hongjian slapped the table, shaking the teacup on the table.

The Dutch are besieging the southeast, and now they are stationing troops in the northwest. The Raksha Kingdom has seen Ming's dilemma.

"Old Liang, use Jinyiwei's channel to write to Xinjiang Governor Luo Shizhong and Beihai Governor Wang Yuanba to ask them to reorganize their armaments and strengthen their defenses. You must not take it lightly.

In addition, letters were sent to Mongolian Governor Barbara and Northeast Governor Feng Dunhou, asking them to quickly gather troops to Xinjiang and Beihai.

Grandma, you can think that Daming is not capable of fighting on two fronts, so I will show you what a great country looks like! "

In terms of citizens, Ming Dynasty has more than 6000 million people, and in terms of army, Ming Dynasty can mobilize more than one million troops. What do you have in Rakshasa?
Come on, let the storm come more violently, if this king is scared, I will cut off my head and let you play as a ball!

"It's my lord, I will send someone to notify you as soon as I get down from the official position.

Oh, by the way, my lord, Gu Jiagu will arrive in the capital tomorrow afternoon at the latest. "Liang Yang said again.
