Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 402 The First Landing Point Nagasaki

"Your Majesty, why do you suddenly want to fight the Wa Kingdom?"

"Where there is gold and silver, there is land, and there are free coolies."

"The country of Wa is located overseas and lives on a small island. Its total land area may not be as large as our province of Ming Dynasty. Why bother your majesty to go on an expedition?

What's more, the ministers don't think that such a small country like Quer can have any oil and water. Even if there is a little gold and silver, it is only a little bit, so why should the army consume it? "

"Huang Aiqing is ignorant and ignorant. Although the country of Wa is small in size, the island is rich in resources, especially gold and silver. Does Huang Aiqing know how much profit the Huangming Chamber of Commerce made from the gold and silver trade with the country last year?"

Zhu Youjian's question stunned Huang Liji and all the officials. After pondering for a while, Huang Liji seemed to make a calculation in his heart and guessed: "Could it be how many 10 taels?"

In his opinion, the Wa country is such a big place, and no matter how much business you do, you can earn a few hundred thousand taels of silver. It must be a lot of money to hear what your majesty means, so he will pay the largest amount. Guess it's no surprise.

But what he and the courtiers didn't expect was that Zhu Youjian shook his head with a smile, and then said slowly:

"No, last year the Huangming Chamber of Commerce drove a boat to the country of Wa, and made a profit of 300 million taels of silver and 20 taels of gold for the whole year.

So far, the grain that now fills the official warehouses of various parts of the Ming Dynasty has been bought back with this profit. Jin Yiwei even found out that there is a place called Shi Jianguo in Waguo.

Where is there a silver mine that can mine millions of taels of silver every year? It is said that at its peak more than ten years ago, about 4000 million to 5000 million taels of silver were mined every year. Nowadays, Westerners call it gold. Silver Kingdom.

Although my Daming's current financial situation has improved, it is still unable to make ends meet. In addition, natural disasters have continued in recent years. According to the calculations of the Qin Tianjian, natural disasters will not stop in the next ten years.

As a result, the imperial court must pay a large amount of financial expenditure for disaster relief every year. If only relying on the normal tax revenue of the imperial court, how can my Ming Dynasty survive?
Therefore, even if it is for the sake of Ming Dynasty, I still want to fight against the country of Wa, and if I conquer the country of Wa, let alone, as long as I can win the gold and silver mines throughout the country of Wa, it will not be considered a loss. We can buy grain from overseas with silver, So as to supply the native people. "

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, all the officials in the court gasped. They were shocked by the amount of gold and silver that Zhu Youjian said could be mined in Waguo, and they couldn't believe it.

Since His Majesty dares to say it at that time, it must be true!
The eyes of many people flickered.

Suddenly many officials stood up, and they all cupped their hands and said: "Your Majesty! The country of Wa is a country that the Taizu decided not to conquer. I ask your Majesty to abide by the ancestral system, and don't use swords rashly!"

Zhu Youjian glanced at these people who stood up, and Wang Chengen on the side immediately whispered in his ear with a wink:
"Your Majesty, many of these people are officials from the coast."

Zhu Youjian understood in an instant, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The feeling is that I have my eye on the gold and silver of the Japanese country, but I don't want to let Zhen go.

With a sneer, Zhu Youjian said: "The ancestral system? All the lovers tell me about the ancestral system?
According to the ancestral system, those of you who stood up..."

Zhu Youjian stretched his tone, and then his face changed, and he suddenly shouted with a gloomy face:

"All of them must be skinned and dropped at the gate of the yamen as a warning to others!"

The faces of the officials who stood up turned pale instantly, and they almost collapsed on the spot.

But Zhu Youjian was still relentless and said: "Don't use swords in a country that has not yet been conquered?
Do you believe what you say?
What are you planning to pretend I don't know?

If you don't let me go here, I'm afraid you will go by yourself when you turn around, and then spend a lot of money on your own home, right?

Anyway, you didn't do this kind of thing once or twice, you are very skilled!

Every time I say that I compete with the people for profit, with which people?

Those common people can go to sea and afford luxury goods?
Pooh!
The people in your mouth, you are talking about yourself, you are afraid that if I earn a tael more silver, you will earn a tael less, so you do everything possible to prevent me from earning money, but you do everything possible to earn money.

I have a word to describe your behavior.

Double standard!

Do you understand what a double standard is?
It means that if you do something yourself, others cannot do it. If others do it, it is wrong. If you do it yourself, you think it is right!
Pooh!
You can go!I can go too!

Get the hell out of here, and if you dare to stand up and chirp again, I will let you never have the chance to speak again! "

After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he yelled directly: "Where is the big Han general!"

bang bang bang!
There was a sound of metal colliding, and two tall, heroic generals in gorgeous armor strode in from outside the hall, and stood beside the few officials who stood up.

As soon as Zhu Youjian opened his mouth, he immediately dragged out all the people here.

At this moment, these officials were immediately persuaded.

It's okay to stop Zhu Youjian from stealing money from them, but it won't be worth it if he catches up with him, so he immediately returned to the team honestly.

Seeing Zhu Youjian, he sneered twice and waved his hands. The two big Han generals immediately retreated to the entrance of the hall and stood on both sides, waiting for the next opportunity.

After getting rid of these idiots, Zhu Youjian no longer had the desire to continue entangled with these guys in the court, and immediately set the tone:

"In any case, this Japanese kingdom is settled.

Annan and other places are rich in grain, and our country is extremely short of food now and in the next ten years. If these places are taken down, the domestic pressure can be greatly relieved.

But the problem is that the environment in these places is difficult for me to deal with the army for a while. If I want to fight these places, the preparation time and preparation work are too cumbersome and long.

In this case, we will fight against the Japanese country,

Once you conquer the country of Wa, you can get the gold and silver of the country of Wa, and you can buy grain from overseas to alleviate the domestic food shortage.

Second, taking down the Japanese country can solve the rampant situation of Japanese pirates along the coast.

Only these two points kill two birds with one stone, not to mention other benefits.

Therefore, it is necessary to fight against me, but how to fight, logistics, and resettlement issues depend on how you deal with them. These are yours. I and the military are only responsible for fighting. If we fight down, you will manage them. If it’s not good, it’s your dereliction of duty! "

But I believe that the officials of my Ming Dynasty should be able to handle these things well. If they can’t handle them well, they don’t care about them. If they don’t care, they belong to those who are too busy not to die. This kind of guy doesn’t need to continue wasting food Yes, dear ladies, right? "

What Zhu Youjian said was that the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty were breaking out in cold sweat, and the generals secretly laughed happily watching the jokes of the civil officials.

They had just won two battles, their morale was high, no matter where His Majesty wanted to fight, they were confident.

That's why I can watch civil servant jokes so leisurely.

The civil servants secretly complained, but there was nothing they could do. Today, the Holy Majesty was acting more and more like the great grandfather, and they all began to consider whether they should learn from their predecessors and prepare the coffin at home before going to court.

With Zhu You's test setting the tone, the officials then began to discuss the matter of sending troops to the Wa Kingdom. The route of sending troops and the rules of attack were formulated by the military. The logistics and transportation were jointly handled by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households. Partially cooperate with disposal.

After discussing for nearly a whole day, the court finally decided on the first landing point for this attack on the Japanese.

The Nagasaki Port of Wa Country!

As long as the army lands and occupies Nagasaki Port, the domestic army can continuously transport troops to the country of Wa. With the current strength of the Ming army, the courtiers are very confident that the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty can drive straight into the country of Wa and conquer the country in one fell swoop. Its occupied!
