Chapter 167 Overlord of the Seven Seas
"I report to Your Majesty, it costs a lot of money to confer luxury on a ship, but it is not worth it to confer an insignificant small overseas country! Your Majesty, with all this money, it is better to use it for disaster relief. It can save countless lives. for the benefit of the people."

Yang Reform also stared blankly for a while. The bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty also knew that they were "pragmatic".

"I know, if I don't have money, I can make it simpler. If it doesn't work, I'll rent a merchant ship to go. For this gift, I just pick up a few decent ones from my palace and bring them over. Seven or eight years is too long. To put it bluntly, as the saying goes, a man cannot stand without trust, and a country will decline without trust, and I cannot lose faith in the ruler of the Ryukyu Kingdom." Yang Reform insisted on going to Ryukyu, which is a commercial route!I used to play the game of Great Voyage, and there was a port in Ryukyu called Naha, where I could trade. In the future, my own navy and fleet will always go out. The Ryukyu garrison can also be regarded as becoming the overlord of the sea. a prelude toSuddenly, Yang Reform became ambitious, and he planned to come to the Ming Dynasty to become the overlord of the Seven Seas.

The ministers didn't choke to death on the emperor's words, and it's understandable to make it simpler. This kind of thinking is too advanced and unexpected.However, the emperor's words are also reasonable. People cannot stand without faith, and a country will decline without faith.If this matter is not resolved for a long time, the longer it takes, the more it will prove the decline of this country.The ministers all lowered their heads to digest the emperor's words.

"Your Majesty, I think it is still inappropriate. As far as I know, this is not just a matter of conferring ships and rewards. I have talked with the envoy, and the envoy talked about it. Harassment, they once captured the king and ancestors to the country of Japan. They came this time with another meaning, that is, they hope that our dynasty will send troops to help them deal with the country of Japan and avenge the destruction of the country. They hope to get the protection of our dynasty, Your Majesty Seeing this, once the canonized envoy is sent, it is inevitable to take care of their business again. Thinking about it, my dynasty is in a troubled time, natural disasters continue, and I can't take care of my own affairs. How can I still have the ability to take care of theirs? "The minister was very persistent seeing the emperor, and finally explained the root of the matter.

Yang Reform was furious at first, and then laughed wildly, secretly thinking, God help me, it seems that the Japanese have already attacked the Ryukyu Kingdom, and he is lacking an excuse to use troops at sea, even a navy, what else do we have to borrow? In the name of recruiting global voyages, now, I have an excuse to send troops at sea.That is to protect the vassal states, then station troops in the sweet potato states, and then engage in maritime trade. Haha, it won’t be long before the real version of the "Seven Seas Overlord" of the Ming Dynasty will be his own.An otaku who hasn't played video games for many days has developed a game addiction, and plans to manage this Ming Dynasty as a game.

Yang Reform grabbed whatever he could grab, and slammed it down on the ground. With a "bang", the hall was completely silent.

The officials were horrified, they had never seen the emperor so "furious".

"Little... the people of the Wa country are deceiving people too much..., dare to challenge the might of the heavens of my Ming Dynasty, dare to take away the ruler of my Ming Dynasty's vassal country, Zongqi, bullying people too much, bullying people too much, a shame, a shame! You treat my Ming Dynasty as nothing! Treat my Ming Dynasty’s face as a rag! This Japanese country is really squatting on my Ming Dynasty’s head to shit..." Yang Reform pretended to be furious, not only smashing things, but also violently with his hands The scene of slapping this throne, that kind of rage, is also terrifying.

The ministers took a look, darling, what happened to the emperor?Hearing what the emperor said, I realized that the emperor was angry that the Wa people didn't give Ming Dynasty face, and that the Wa people didn't take the Ming Dynasty seriously, and felt that they had been slapped in the face by the Wa people. The last sentence was even more terrible, squatting All the shit on Ming Dynasty's head was said, ministers, some were angry, some were ashamed, some were laughing secretly, and some were numb.

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down..." The officials once again used the big move "AE", and Yang Reform took advantage of the situation, and toned down his anger a little.

"Dear dears, I didn't intend to get too involved in this matter at first, but now, it's no longer just a matter of me paying some money and giving some gifts. This involves the state system and majesty of my Ming Dynasty, and it involves my Dignity, this Japanese people don't take me seriously, they don't take my Ming Dynasty seriously. If this Japanese people are not punished, what face will I have? What face does the Ming Dynasty have in this world? This little Japanese country has already slapped me in the face." Yang Reform was furious.

"Your Majesty, I believe that this Japanese citizen should be punished. During my Jiajing Dynasty, there were pirates who often invaded our seas and killed our soldiers and civilians. In the Wanli Dynasty, they even plotted against our vassal state. North Korea even fought with me in North Korea. This Japanese, I think, should have been taught a lesson long ago, otherwise, sooner or later, it will definitely be a catastrophe!" From the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, there were also many angry youths, As soon as the emperor talked about punishing the Wa Kingdom, someone immediately brought out the old affairs of the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the minister also agrees to send troops to punish the Wa Kingdom. I think this Wa Kingdom really doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. It not only attempts to get involved in North Korea, but also occupies the Ryukyu Kingdom. This is an insult to our dynasty and contempt for our dynasty! If we don’t punish the Wa Kingdom, how will our Dynasty survive in the world and how will we subdue other small countries? Do we want to become a Kingdom of Heaven? Although the Wa Kingdom was defeated by our Dynasty in the Wanli Dynasty, but now it seems that there is no giving up. It may be revived, and it may come back at any time! Your Majesty, I think that we should send troops to the Ryukyu to teach the Wa country a lesson."

Yang Reform was a little happy. Japan, it seems, did a lot of harm to the Ming Dynasty. There are actually many people who support the idea of ​​attacking Japan. No one will say to fight Japan.

"Your Majesty, this Japanese country, Taizu once said, is a country that will not be conquered!" Some ministers also jumped out and used the ancestor's precepts to explain things.

Yang Reform did not speak, and someone immediately came out to object: "The country that does not conquer, it is because they pay tribute to my dynasty, Taizu promised them to 'share the blessings of peace', now, not only do they not pay tribute to my dynasty , and even sent troops to our vassals to destroy our vassals. A few years ago, tens of thousands of soldiers fought to the death with our soldiers in North Korea in an attempt to annex North Korea. How could others be allowed to snore beside this couch? Who knew they annexed After leaving North Korea, the next goal is not to use military swords against me? Is this what the country that does not conquer should do? Also, when Chengzu was born, he did not use force against Annan, isn’t this Annan obedient now?” This person looked younger, and what he said was a little angry, but it seemed that he was still a little bloody.

However, these few people who spoke for the emperor were all standing behind.Those standing in the front row did not speak.

"Your Majesty, this Japanese kingdom used troops against our vassals without authorization, destroyed the country, and captured the king. This is indeed wrong, and it should be punished. However, the imperial court is now empty of treasury. Even if it wants to send troops to Ryukyu, it does not have the financial resources! Yes! With this financial resources, it is better to relieve some of the coming natural disasters."

Yang Reform saw clearly that the person who spoke was Bi Ziyan.As soon as you speak, it must be a financial matter.Yes!If you have no money, you are full of ambitions. Don't do anything, but take care of your own family affairs.

Yang's reform thoughts drifted to Japan.There is still a ruling class in Japan. As the saying goes, there are three catties of nails in a rotten ship. It is not impossible to search for a little oil and water from those Japanese ruling classes. It is many times cheaper than here in China. Yang Reform, who has read many novels, remembers that there are several very large silver mines in Japan. If you get this place, you will make a fortune.This matter really needs to be pondered over.

"This matter, we should call the envoy to ask about the actual situation. Otherwise, our monarchs and ministers will discuss here and there without even knowing the actual situation over there. Isn't this talking nonsense? Messenger Let's go." Yang Reform decided to meet the envoy first, as he had heard before that he knew himself and the enemy, and won a hundred battles.

Seeing that the emperor insisted on seeing the envoy, many ministers secretly sighed. It is not easy to persuade the emperor. If he continues to persuade, the emperor was originally angry with the Japanese captive Ryukyu, and the emperor will become angry with himself.

"The envoy of Zhongshan King of the Xuan Ryukyu Kingdom has an audience." After a long shout, two people came.

Yang Reform took a look and found that the clothes worn by these two people were similar to the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty.

"The kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor." Two kowtows, very respectful. After waiting for seven or eight years, I finally saw the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How difficult it was!
"Get up. Are you the envoys of the Ryukyu Kingdom?" Yang Reform looked at these two people. If they hadn't said that they were from the Ryukyu Kingdom, their clothes and appearance would be no different from those of a small official in the Ming Dynasty.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this minister is right." A leader said.

"Is there a letter of credence?" Yang Ganga has read "Journey to the West", and knows that there should be such things as letters of credence and official records for receiving foreign envoys and visitors.

"Report to Your Majesty, yes, yes." The leader quickly took out a notebook from his pocket, lowered his head, and held it on top of his head respectfully.

Wang Chengen went to get it back, and handed it to the emperor. Yang Reform opened it and looked at it, pretending to look at it.

"The Ryukyu Kingdom is a vassal state of our court, and has always been respectful to our court. This, I know, this envoy, it is said that this Japanese kingdom sent troops to capture the king and ancestor in the early years. Is there such a thing?"

When he said this, the emissary burst into tears, began to cry, and told the matter intermittently.At the same time, it is even more unreasonable to the Celestial Dynasty to keep adding oil and vinegar to this Japan, and to describe the Japanese as inferior to beasts.

This envoy is also provocative, and many people in this hall actually became aggrieved.

"So, this Japanese country is really abominable. This envoy, tell me, how many troops does this Japanese country have stationed in Ryukyu?" Send some people over to rescue the Ryukyu country, and then garrison there by the way, this will become history, and then you can do business smoothly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are not many people stationed in this country in Ryukyu, only a few hundred people. At the beginning, when we sent troops to attack our country, it was only three thousand. Now, most of them have been withdrawn, and there are only less than four to five hundred people. That's all." The envoy leaked the details of the Japanese to the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Reform was secretly complacent, very good, very good, there are only a few hundred people, and it is enough to send 2000 people by himself. This number is not large, and the expenditure is not large. This title has everything.This is a beginning!Overlord of the Seven Seas, here I come.
