Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 334 Exile All!To enrich the border town!

Zhang Gui replied immediately: "What I mean is that the imperial court should specially mobilize the navy to bloodbath Batavia! Any foreign barbarian there will not be spared!"

Apocalypse was quite shocked after hearing this.

Zhang Gui continued: "Your Majesty, this is a political battle to promote the country's prestige and cheer up the hearts of the people, not a battle of money and food that is cost-effective."

"The military affairs of the Ming Dynasty can't be just for the benefit of earning more money."

"After all, Daming is a country, not a simple business house. Sometimes it is necessary to make some gestures, even if the gestures will not be worth the loss. The so-called emperor's anger, laying down millions of corpses, now it is His Majesty's anger for the three thousand Han people, and It's time to make Batavia go crazy!"

Tian Qi stood up and looked at Zhang Gui for a while.

Zhang Gui has been standing aside with his hands folded: "Please make up your mind, Your Majesty!"

Tianqi finally nodded: "Then bloodbath Batavia! Vent for the Han people in the world!"

Zhang Gui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise! It must be so. Today's Han people are too deeply influenced by Neo Confucianism, and most of them don't think that the imperial court will support them. This requires the imperial court to show their bloody side first. Only in this way will they follow the blood and dare to show their strong side to the barbarians!"

So, shortly thereafter, Apocalypse officially issued an edict to crusade against the Dutch East India Company.

Moreover, Emperor Tianqi's edict stipulates that the Dutch East India Company is an illegal pirate, and coastal officers and soldiers must be strictly suppressed, and the Ministry of War will dispatch naval forces to crusade against Batavia, the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company.

"Your Majesty, I beg your majesty to take back your order. Don't spend a lot of money on behalf of some common people who died in vain, and commit evil to foreign countries. Such actions are not the behavior of a benevolent king and a wise master!"

"Your Majesty! Since the first evil has been eliminated, why bother with it again? Please, Your Majesty, don't hesitate to conscript the people's fat and anointing just because the little people are slaughtered!"

"I implore Your Majesty to be cautious about swords and weapons. Batavia is far away from the Divine Land, and the sea is always extremely dangerous. The presence of flood dragons may make the army never return, and it will waste money and manpower!"

……

However, after Tianqi listened to Zhang Gui's advice and made up his mind to attack Batavia, he was still obstructed by many civil servants.

The reason why these civil servants objected was naturally because they didn't like the emperor's military actions. Of course, some people had already been bought by the local gentry forces who had already lived in Batavia and secretly colluded with the Hongmao Fan, and they didn't want Batavia to be so unscrupulous. The place that will be controlled by the Ming imperial power cannot escape the power of the Ming emperor.

"All the avengers who dissuade me will be exiled to Xianzhou, responsible for educating the barbarians and enriching the border town!"

Tianqi didn't ask any more questions, and directly exiled all of them to Xinfu territory outside the pass.

The court is naturally clean.

But there are still some people who are dissatisfied with Tianqi's decision behind the scenes.

"This tyrant did not listen to dissuasion at all and insisted on conquering Batavia! What should we do, we can't hide our savings in Batavia and transport them to Goa?"

"They must not be allowed to conquer Batavia! Mr. Congwu also meant the same thing. He said that we should try our best to make a bigger incident happen in the court, so that the emperor would not have the energy to think about promoting national prestige. "

"Mr. Congwu is right, we have to find a way as soon as possible so that this tyrant has no energy to conquer Batavia! In addition, we must send a ship as soon as possible to inform the princes and Taixi people of Batavia and let them do it." Be prepared!"

……

Therefore, behind the scenes, many dignitaries and bureaucrats in the court and in collusion with overseas forces were secretly discussing this matter, and planned to use more extreme methods to prevent Emperor Tianqi's decision.

Zhang Gui, who instigated the apocalypse to use the court's power to uphold justice for the common people, also knew that there would be some people who did not want the court to conquest Batavia and completely fight against the Dutch East India Company.

Because Zhang Gui is very clear that many local tyrants in this era have already possessed the characteristics of compradors, and they are better at colluding with external forces to further cut their own country's leeks.

Therefore, the ghost knows whether this city of Batavia will also have the property of the local Chinese officials and gentry.

"Seriously investigate, especially this Mr. Congwu. Since he has contact with these red-haired fans and is the main criminal who trafficked Han people to Batavia, we must investigate clearly! And the real reason for Frank's sudden appearance in Tianjin this time The reason must be interrogated by the captured red-haired fans!"

Therefore, Zhang Gui also used all intelligence forces to carefully watch the forces behind who did not want the court to conquest Batavia. For this reason, he was explaining these things to Liu Zongmin on the way to the East Palace to meet the prince.

"Understandable!"

Because this day was the crown prince's birthday, Zhang Gui was also ordered to go to the East Palace to attend the family banquet organized by Tianqi himself.

And when Zhang Gui came to the East Palace, the crown prince had already come to greet him at the gate of the palace in person: "Uncle!"

Zhang Gui smiled slightly, and was about to perform the national ceremony.

At this time, there was a sudden gunshot.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Immediately afterwards, the prince sat down on the ground.

Zhang Gui showed a look of panic: "What's going on, someone dares to assassinate the prince?"

Soon, Zhang Gui noticed a puff of white smoke appeared on the palace wall in front of him.

But people have long since disappeared.

Zhang Gui had no choice but to turn around and ask, "How is your Highness?"

"What happened?!"

At this time, Tian Qi also followed the sound and hurried out with the queen.

"The prince was assassinated!"

Zhang Gui replied.

Tian Qi was shocked when he heard this.

Zhang Yan also turned pale.

"Father, empress, don't worry, this minister was not shot, but Wang Daban, who was about to defend him from the gun, tripped him."

The prince stood up at this moment and replied to Tianqi and Zhang Yan.

Tian Qi and Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, many officials of the Eastern Palace who were on duty outside also rushed over, and said in horror: "The crown prince was assassinated? Who dares to threaten the foundation of the Ming Dynasty?!"

Zhang Gui said with a serious face at this time: "Who knows! There must be a thief inside!"

Tian Qi also said in a deep voice: "Be sure to investigate strictly, how dare you attack my son again!"

Not long after, Qi Panzong came running, holding a strand of red hair and a piece of cloth and said, "Your Majesty, I just found these at the place where the gun was fired. Cloth only used by Xiyi!"

"It looks like Hongmaofan did it! This Hongmaofan is really daring to murder my country!"

Tian Qi gritted his teeth and spoke.

So, the next day, Tianqi called Daqi, and angrily scolded the Hongmao Fan for this shameless act in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and asked: "These Hongmaoyi have even harmed the country. The meaning of tolerance is to tell the sailors who have set off that they are going this time not only to avenge the [-] slaughtered Han people, but also to avenge the East Palace. Not only will I and the Han people in the world remember their achievements, but the East Palace will also remember them. Their achievements! In addition, I want them to perform a ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens after the bloodbath of Batavia, so as to seal the wolves out of their homes!"

Because the Hongmao fan had moved against Guoben, the civil servants were even more afraid to comment.

Not long after this, the navy also arrived at Batavia City, surrounded it, and successfully captured Batavia City.

The governor of Batavia, Kodar, knelt down in fear in front of Shen Shouyue, the general who was in charge of conquering them: "We are willing to pay compensation, and please let your army let us live!"

After Shen Shouyue heard what the interpreter conveyed, he laughed: "Uncle Guo already guessed that you would say that, but Uncle Guo told me at the time, let me tell you, if you don't let you go, you have to do it yourself." Go ask God!"
