Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 409 Sanctioning the Dutch

Sun Chuanting, Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, Sun Chengzong, Secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Lishun, Minister of Honglu Temple, Ni Yuanlu of the Ministry of Households, Meng Zhaoxiang of the Ministry of Industry and other senior officials all bowed in front of Zhu Youjian.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, my Ming Dynasty is not only invincible in the army, but also the navy is also mighty. The revival of the Ming Dynasty is imminent!"

Zhu Youjian is also very proud:

"Hahaha, of course, the Ming Dynasty's armored warships are vegetarians. In the near future, those countries that still have illusions about our Ming Dynasty will tremble and surrender in front of the strong ships and guns of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youjian's words once again made the ministers feel their hearts surging and their blood boiling. Although most of them are civil servants, there are many civil servants of the Ming Dynasty who can lead troops to fight.

For example, Wang Shouren, such as Yu Qian, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong, etc., can be said to be countless, and civil servants have blood if they can fight.

The most critical problem is that there is no noise in the Ming Dynasty Hall now. Those civil servants who impeach generals at every turn are Qingliu, who are suppressed by Zhu Youjian and can't make a sound.

In this way, the rewards that should be received will not be less, the morale of the soldiers is high, and they rush forward desperately in the battle. Once they die in battle, their families and the country will support them.

Without the interference of Qing rumor officials, various reforms of the imperial court could be implemented quickly, and the efficiency was greatly high, making the rapid development of Ming Dynasty more smooth and fast.

The civil servants present were all loyal souls of the Ming Dynasty, all of whom were willing to dedicate themselves to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the victory of the Daming Navy made them very excited, and what the emperor said made their blood boil even more.

"Your Majesty Shengming, long live my emperor, long live!"

After a long time, they calmed down, and then passed the battle report to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian knew that Zheng Chenggong had won, but he didn't know the specific situation, so he took the battle report from the little eunuch Erxi again and watched it carefully.

While watching the battle report, Zhu Youjian kept nodding his head frequently, obviously very satisfied with Zheng Chenggong's handling of the Taiwan issue.

When they saw Zheng Chenggong let go of the Governor of Taiwan, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing. This was his order before Zheng Chenggong sent troops.

What is a governor of Taiwan, if he is released, he will be released. Batavia, the headquarters of the Dutch Asian Colonial East India Company, is Zhu Youjian's goal.

The Dutch have occupied Taiwan for so many years, can Zhu Youjian stop writing interest?He not only wants interest, but also usury, ridiculously high interest.

After reading the battle report sent by Zheng Chenggong, Zhu Youjian said to Liu Lishun, Minister of Honghe Temple:

"Mr. Honglusi, after you go back, you will negotiate with the Dutch envoys in Daming. Because they have occupied Taiwan for many years, they have caused incalculable losses to the people and property of Taiwan, and also caused incalculable impact on the name of the Ming Empire.

Daming is now seeking justice from the Dutch, and strongly demands that they must pay 1000 million taels of silver, which is without any room for negotiation.

At the same time, it was announced that from now on, Daming would temporarily sever diplomatic relations with the Netherlanders, close the trade ports with the Netherlanders, and all Dutch personnel in Daming should leave Daming as soon as possible.

The Ming dynasty also cannot trade with the Dutch, and countries that have trade relations with Ming cannot do business with the Dutch, otherwise Ming will close its trade ports with them.

In addition, before the indemnity was paid, the Dutch merchant ships could not approach the Daming waters, or they would all be sunk, and Honglu Temple immediately went to do it. "

"This... I obey the order!"

Liu Lishun, Minister of Honghe Temple, was completely stunned. Not only did he not understand the emperor's series of operations, but he had never heard of such a thing.

After losing the war, they actually had to pay 1000 million taels of silver. What a joke, selling the Dutch country may not be worth so much silver, they definitely don't want to.

However, he did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so he immediately took the order and left the Qianqing Palace.

There is also a ban on smoking, a ban on preaching, and a demand for compensation from the Dutch. For Liu Lishun, there is too much information today, and they are busy.

But the economy of the Dutch and Daming cannot be compared.

It can be said that almost all the cotton and silk that Europeans wear, drink tea, and use porcelain are all produced in Ming Dynasty, and they only rely on colonial plunder to support the national economy.

Once Daming cut off all trade with them, and destroyed all their merchant ships traveling to and from the waters belonging to Daming, the Dutch mainly focused on maritime transportation.

If the small countries around Ming Dynasty also stopped trading with the Dutch, Zhu Youjian believed that the Dutch would soon be unable to support them.

Zhu Youjian's decision not only made Honglu Temple Secretary Liu Lishun a headache, but also shocked other Ming officials present.

"What? Is my Ming Dynasty so powerful now? Isn't this a dream? The Dutch can pay tens of millions of taels of silver through trade sanctions?
If the Dutch can really compensate so much silver, wouldn't the Ming treasury be nothing but silver?Haha... Daming will never be short of money again. "

Thinking about how Emperor Chongzhen could hardly sleep at night in order to raise military pay, the treasury was so poor that he could starve mice to death, and thinking about how rich Ming was today, several veteran officials were covered with mist.

However, all this is not over yet, Zhu Youjian has something to say:

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

Sun Chengzong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, hastily bowed his hands and saluted:

"The minister is here."

"What's the current situation of conscription in Ming Dynasty?"

Sun Chengzong:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, at present, the military pay of the Ming Dynasty is paid in full, and the treatment of the soldiers has also been improved. The army of the Ming Dynasty is already an invincible army, and young people who sign up to join the army are very enthusiastic.

As far as I know, the Ming army has reached as many as 50, and Qi Jiguang, the governor of the five armies, and General Li, the Xuanjia iron cavalry, are training them. "

This result really made Zhu Youjian very happy. Daming has a vast territory, and some small countries around it are still restless.

Now that Daming is employing people, he was worried that the people would not want to join the army to fight after their lives were better, so he can feel at ease now.

"The Ming army has already changed its equipment. The flintlock guns used in the past are still leading the world. You send all the replaced equipment to North Korea to Lu Aiguo, and let Lu Aiguo train North Korean soldiers well. After a while, They may be required to serve the country."

Zhu Youjian's operation made the officials unable to understand. What do you want the Korean soldiers to do? There is no war there. What exactly does the emperor want to do?
"Your Majesty, you are..."

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:
"I haven't made up my mind yet, you just need to implement it, you will know when the time comes, go!"

"According to the purpose"

Okay, Sun Chengzong still wanted to ask the reason, but Zhu Youjian kept it a secret from him, so Sun Chengzong stopped talking and immediately took the decree to execute.

How can he understand Zhu Youjian's thoughts? In fact, Zhu Youjian is preparing for the future to clean up the Japanese country. He cannot fight an unprepared war and must plan ahead.
