Chapter 760 Crusade Annan
This "big negotiation" did not last long. The Ming Dynasty had an extremely good credit record and was the object of worship by neighboring countries. Now the Ming Dynasty wanted to "protect and help" them, so it was naturally very happy.
Of course, the unhappy Korqin and others have no strength to resist at all!
On the second day, Tian Daming, in Zhu Xu's study, King Ping, King Tang, and Xiong Wencan reported the situation to Zhu Xu.
King Ping looked at Zhu Xu, moved his fat body, and said, "Your Majesty, Korqin is basically fine. Chahar is as repulsive as you expected, but it's that Japan..."
Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly and said, "What's wrong with Japan?"
King Ping looked a little confused and said, "The envoy of the Japanese country told me that he hoped to go to Beijing to pay tribute next year and was willing to join our country's series of plans, whether it was the joint navy, trade, or even institutional reform, they were willing to discuss..."
Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and picked up the teacup next to him and thought.
Japan, also known as Japan, has always been a special country. The island countries have a strong mood, are narrow-minded, inferior and arrogant, and their mentality is complex and difficult to understand.
The plan of Japan to join the Ming Dynasty should be because it saw the strength of the Ming Dynasty. As for the "system reform", I am afraid that it is right for the current general Tokugawa of Japan!
‘Does Japan want to innovate?’
Zhu Xu was thinking about it. He basically didn't know anything about the current Japanese version except for some information brought back from the Jinyiwei and Cao Wenzhao.
However, it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty. As an island country, Japan will not be even more sad. As long as the Ming Dynasty cuts off its foreign trade, Japan will be very distressed!
Zhu Xu looked up at King Ping, and said with a calm expression, "The amount of tribute from Japan is 10,000 taels of gold, 1 million silver, and 2 million stones of food. No matter what else, as for Japan to participate in our plan... they must complete domestic reforms and meet my requirements, otherwise they will refuse!"
There are more than 100 vassal states in Japan now, so it is difficult to unify it. As for political system reform, it is completely impossible!
Simply put, Zhu Xu wanted to exclude Japan and Ben from his plan and implement a comprehensive blockade!
King Ping nodded as if 'I understand' and said, "Yes, I'll talk later."
Zhu Xu's eyes, Zhu Youjian said, "King of Tang?"
Zhu Youjian was more capable than King Ping, and said with a solemn expression: "When I go back to the emperor, I am very smooth. North Korea, Ryukyu and Satsuma are all very supportive, but some details need to be discussed later."
These three kingdoms are now on the brink of danger and need protection from the Ming Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty's plan seems to be "benefiting them", so naturally they will not refuse.
Nodded slightly, Zhu Xu looked at Xiong Wencan with a smile and said, "How is it? Have you encountered a soft nail?"
Xiong Wencan sat at the end, leaned slightly, and said as usual: "Return to the emperor, Annan, Myanmar's attitude is a bit confusing, and he even refused to explain the amount of tribute. Everything else is okay. He is willing to go to Beijing to pay tribute next year, congratulations to the emperor on his wedding and to rule the government."
Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and snorted. Both countries are ambitions and now they still occupy some of the territory that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty. After drinking a sip of tea, he put down the teacup and said, "Transfer the order to Zuo Liangyu and others, telling them that they must use the slogan of regaining the territory. The voice must be loud, and some actions should be carried out on the Myanmar border!"
Cao Huachun next to him immediately knew what Zhu Xu meant and bowed and said, "Abide by the order!"
Xiong Wencan and others had no objection. Thunder regained Annan, shocked the Southeast Peninsula, and ensured peace for several years or even decades, was the established strategy of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xu looked at the three of them and pondered for a while, "You go and talk again, and then write a document to show me."
The effect of this martial arts performance is somewhat beyond Zhu Xu's expectations, and of course it is a good direction.
From north to south, Korchin, North Korea, Satsuma, Ryukyu, and Taiwan, this line has been controlled by Zhu Xu. It is now integrated from military, political, economic, cultural and other aspects. Once the time is ripe, Zhu Xu can only make them lose their national name and truly become a province of the Ming Dynasty!
"Abide by the order!" King Ping, King Tang, and Xiong Wencan stood up and said.
When the three of them left, Zhu Xu lay on the chair and looked out the door with his eyes burning, as if there were flames churning.
The most important purpose of his trip to the south has been achieved. Next, it depends on Cao Wenzhao, Zuo Liangyu and others. As long as he shocked the Southeast Peninsula, the Ming Dynasty could achieve a period of stable period for a considerable period of time, allowing him to rectify his internal affairs with peace of mind.
Cao Huachun stood beside Zhu Xu, feeling as if he had been watching the fire, and he felt relieved in his heart.
The emperor has always been a deviant move in his work, unlike ordinary people. The reason why he has been able to have a stable position along the way has not been opposed by the court officials who support him is because he is right and has never been defeated! He has experienced countless hardships throughout the journey, and he has been opposed to the emperor's "new policy" openly or secretly. Once the emperor has a slight mistake, especially the failure of a war, it will cause a huge chain reaction, which is unimaginable!
Fortunately, the emperor won again!
In addition to continuing to consolidate the emperor's "wise and magical martial arts", it is "right", but it can also bring great benefits to the Ming Dynasty. According to the agreement, the "tributes" of the surrounding countries will have millions of silver and millions of stones of grain. If it is added to the Shanghai Trade, Cao Huachun will be unsure of this number, which will definitely be amazing!
Cao Huachun's thoughts were turning, and after a while, Zhu Xu was not moving. He stepped forward and whispered: "Master, should you have a meal or take a break?"
Zhu Xu couldn't sleep for another night.
Zhu Xu shook his head slightly and said, "All kinds of treaties should be formulated as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. After signing, send people away and don't leave them anymore. By the way, send someone to chase Lao Cao, bring Putmans's handwritten letter and several confidants, and tell him that there is no need to fight in the Netherlands, just take over."
Cao Huachun bowed and said, "Yes."
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes pondered, and for a while, he said, "The Luzon Xuanwei Department was established, the old port Xuanwei Department was restored, the same book and the same track, the military, politics, economy and culture should be quickly integrated, Manila, Batavia, Singapore, and the army must be stationed and firmly controlled the Strait of Malacca..."
Cao Huachun listened quietly, and he could understand what Zhu Xu meant that the Ming Dynasty would build academies, commercial banks, etc. on the islands of the South China Sea to spread the Ming Dynasty's "advanced civilization".
After Cao Huachun wrote it down, Zhu Xu said again: "Have Luo Yangxian achieved his character?"
Cao Huachun thought for a while and said, "It should be almost Yunnan."
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers a little slower and said, "Let the Jinyiwei come in, and the Dutch and the Spanish, find a way to control some of these words. The intelligence network is about to expand."
"Yes." Cao Huachun understood and said.
"Next, it's a matter of time." Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a leisurely look.
Cao Wenzhao would take at least two months to go to the South China Sea. The war in Annan would not end for a while. He would stay in Fujian for a while.
Cao Huachun heard the meaning of Zhu Xu's words and said with a little thought: "Your Majesty, the government affairs in the court are piled up a lot, so it is not advisable to stay in the south for a long time."
Zhu Xu naturally knew that the 'New Policy' was just beginning, and there were too many things that he needed to do, but the things here could not be delayed. His fingers hit the table again and said suddenly: "Issued the Cabinet, the Six Ministers, and ordered them to recommend the Cabinet's auxiliary ministers and add six more people!"
There are now two people in the cabinet, with six more people, eight people, and the chief minister who has been vacant has been assigned to nine people.
With the continuous increase in government affairs, Zhu Xu also felt a little overwhelmed and needed to add assistants.
Cao Huachun nodded and said, "Abide by the order."
"Well, what else has happened in Beijing recently?" Zhu Xu sat up and said with a teacup.
Cao Huachun recalled a little and said, "Just just now, Princess Yongning took Li Xiangjun and ran out of the palace, saying that she wanted to be a female general, ran into Jingdong camp, but was sent back by Duke Lu personally. The empress dowager issued a ban order and could not be circulated."
Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and shook his head and sighed: "This girl is going to anger the emperor's sister-in-law to death..."
Cao Huachun knew what the little princess was so outrageous. After waiting for a while, he said, "Qian Qianyi said he was sick and had submitted his resignation."
Zhu Xu was slightly stunned at first, with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and said playfully: "Is this because I don't want to go to Taiwan?"
Cao Huachun didn't speak. He was an internal supervisor and could not guess the external ministers.
Regarding Qian Qianyi, Zhu Xu always felt that he was unable to bear the responsibility. He smiled and said, "If he wants to resign, let him leave. Taiwan will find someone else. Wen Tiren has nothing to do with him, right?"
Wen Tiren will go to Annan in the future. This person is good at dancing. Although he has a lot of thoughts and may do something, it is best to go to Annan.
Cao Huachun said, "Mr. Wen has no movement. Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice has recently retried the 'Old Case of Donglin, which is nominally 'Shuoyuan Qingyuan'."
Zhu Xu turned his head suddenly and looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Who approved it?"
Cao Huachun bowed slightly and said, "Old Ge."
Zhu Xu looked at Cao Huachun with a flash of eyes, then turned around, leaning against the chair, his eyes flashed, and he was silent.
At the court, he used the case of Zhao Nanxing and others to catch all the Donglin Party members inside and outside the court, killing them, Guan, and exile them. This case shocked the world at that time, and it was all due to his "willingness to do it".
At this time, most people of the Donglin Party were "the wise men of the country". Although Zhu Xu had forcibly decided on the Donglin Party in recent years, especially this time, it still could not change the views and ideas of people, especially gentry and official people.
Zhang Wenda is also a veteran of Donglin. He wants to retrial, but even Zhu Xu is not difficult to understand. Just Bi Ziyan nodded, it is worth his thoughts.
Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's expression and struggled, but still advised: "Your Majesty, using Shangshu Zhang to re-determine the case will help the 'new policy'."
Zhu Xu understood Cao Huachun's meaning, nodded and shook his head, and said, "Master Bi's idea is definitely not that simple. I'm afraid there are other meanings."
