For the Ming Dynasty, it was nothing to do with the two little boys, England East India Company and the Dutch East India Company. Even if you directly send an army to the country, it would be no big deal.

However, Zhu Jinsong could not accept them as posing as the Ming army to recruit workers.

This has nothing to do with how the historical books will record this incident, but with the reputation of the Ming army.

In fact, the reputation of the Ming army has always been very contradictory.

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty or overseas, in the eyes of the Ming people, the Ming army is of course the best army in the world and the most trustworthy and dependent army.

There is a saying among the people of the Ming Dynasty, that is, even if the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty point their guns at the people of the Ming Dynasty, they must point to the enemy behind them.

In the eyes of the natives in the Old Port Administrators and the Lan Fang Administrators, the Ming army was basically the same as the demons, and even more terrifying than the legendary invincible demons.

For Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, whether the reputation of the Ming army is good or bad, it is all the business of the Ming army itself. How could it be possible for the English East India Company and the Dutch East India Company to impersonate it?

After stooping his fingers to the table, Zhu Jinsong said, "It is absolutely impossible to use the Ming Dynasty's banner. However, after all, the Ming Dynasty still needs workers from India, so we still have to find a way to solve this problem."

After Zhu Jinsong said this, Zeng Cheng and the elders were immediately confused.

The two hot chickens, England East India Company and the Netherlands East India Company, must not be able to count on them. Perhaps England, the Netherlands, France and France are not able to count on them even if they do not consider the distance between the UK, the Netherlands, France and India.

England itself also wants to recruit laborers to start mining in Sri Lanka. The Netherlands is busy re-establishing its country, and France is busy opening films with the Habsburg family. This means that Britain, the Netherlands and France have no extra troops.

Can be drawn.

And without expecting these three companies to solve the problem in Tianzhu...

In fact, it is highly likely that it will be dispatched to mobilize the Ming Dynasty's own army.

Then the question arises. If the Ming army is dispatched to solve the problem in Tianzhu, how should the Ming emperor Zhu Quansong, the two guys, agree on George III and Louis XVI, before this?

This made Zeng Cheng, Zhu Erdan and other elders feel a little unacceptable.

Especially for Liu Huaiwen, the leader of the Ministry of Revenue, he was even more unable to accept it. Because of the promises of George III and Louis XVI, the Ming Dynasty Treasury had allocated the military expenditure that was originally to be allocated to the Governor's Office of the Five Army to the Ministry of Works. If it suddenly happens now,

We have to relocate back to the Governor's Office of the Five Army. What should we do with the projects of the Ministry of Works?

More importantly, after such a struggle, the Ming Dynasty cannot take advantage? If it cannot take advantage, it will be a loss!

Thinking of this, Liu Huaiwen couldn't help but say, "I think that since George III and Louis XVI have promised them to arrest the laborers, then they should solve this matter. Let's..."

Zhu Erdan's eyes lit up and said, "Brother Ming Jian, if our Five Army Governor's Office sends troops to Tianzhu, I can guarantee that the entire territory of Tianzhu will be pacified within half a year!"

When he heard this, Liu Huaiwen immediately glared at Zhu Erdan fiercely and snorted coldly: "You said that your Five Army Governor's Office can pacify India within half a year. I have no doubt at all, but I want to ask you,

How much military expenditure will be required in the past six months? How many laborers can be left in the end?"

Zhu Erdan was choked immediately.

Zhu Erdan can roughly estimate how much military expenditure is required to fight a war for half a year, but in the end, how many laborers can be left... Zhu Erdan didn't have the confidence to estimate it.

This mainly depends on those who kill.

If they were like the Portuguese barbarians who had attacked before in Macau, then there might be only a few workers left in the entire India.

Seeing that Zhu Erdan stopped talking, Liu Huaiwen snorted again: "Your Majesty, I think it is really not appropriate to let the Governor's Office of the Five Army send troops to the expedition again, unless their military expenditure this year is enough and there is no need for the treasury side.

Children's grant."

Zhu Erdan said anxiously: "No funding is given? Do you want the soldiers to go to war with hunger?"

Liu Huaiwen sneered and asked back, "Well, I ask you, what about the money? At the beginning of this year, the treasury allocated 100 million military expenses to your Five Army Governor's Office and gave you 10 million taels of silver. Have you already spent all the money now

Now?"

Zhu Erdan said: "Of course, it hasn't been spent, but isn't this money used to change equipment and attack the Ottoman side? Where did you ask me to squeeze some of it for Tianzhu?"

Liu Huaiwen sneered and said, "I don't care where you go to squeeze? The money from your Five Army Governor's Office has been planned for use. Is there any other money in the treasury designed for use?"

"Come on, I will calculate it for you first. Last year's income was 80 million yuan, and 100 million of it was allocated to your Five Army Governor's Office, 300 million yuan was allocated to the Ministry of Works, 100 million yuan was allocated to the Ministry of Rites, and 200 million yuan was allocated to the Ministry of Rites, and 200 million yuan was allocated to the Ministry of Rites.

I gave it to the Ministry of Revenue, and there is still 100 million to the Royal Academy. Do you think about it? Is there any extra money?"

Zhu Erdan began to retort with his fingers: "This is 700 million, and there is still 100 million left?"

Liu Huaiwen spat and said, "There is still 100 million, don't you need to use it for emergency response? In addition to the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Revenue, there are also your five military governor's offices. Other departments, temples and prisons do not need to spend money, right?

”

Seeing Zhu Erdan being choked and speechless, Zhu Jinsong simply smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Although I said I wanted to solve the problem of India, I never said I would transfer the Ming army, right?"

After Zhu Jinsong said this, Liu Huaiwen, Zeng Cheng and other elders became even more confused.

If the Ming army is not called, should we sell firearms and muskets to the Dutch East India Company and the England East India Company?

For Liu Huaiwen and other big brothers, it is certainly okay to sell some weapons and go out. The problem is that where does the Ming Dynasty still have so many weapons reserves now?

France bought a large number of cannons and muskets, and England also bought a large number of cannons and muskets. The Netherlands did not buy many cannons and muskets, but there were so many small countries in the small pot, who wouldn't want to buy one.

Go back to get cheap, strong and powerful weapons?

This also led to a relatively shortage of military weapons in the Ming Dynasty.

It’s not that the Ming Dynasty’s armour is not enough, but that the armour that the Ming Dynasty can use for sale has been sold has been sold out. The northern industry and southern weapons under the Ministry of War have begun to have a headache about insufficient production capacity. Where can I find more

Can the remaining ordnance be sold to the British, Dutch and India Company?

Recruit more people and build more weapons?

It’s not impossible in theory, but the construction of workshops requires a rush, right? Workers’ training also takes a certain amount of time? The purchase and transportation of raw materials also take time, right?

After the orders that have begun to be accumulated, the extra weapons will be transported to the Indian land... Maybe the Ming Dynasty has already solved the Ottoman.

If that time really happened, the Ming Dynasty would have to recruit workers with the England East India Company and the Dutch East India Company?

Those Ming troops who went to fight against the Ottomans could slaughter India by themselves!

Allocate part of the existing orders and give priority to ship to India and sell it to the UK. The Netherlands and India companies can let them make peace?

This is also unrealistic.

Not to mention that the orders for Northern Industry and Southern weapons are contracts between countries. Even if there is no such thing as a contract, Zhongyuan Hall has always been concerned about spitting out and nailing, saying that when it is delivered, it will be delivered.

.

As for Zhu Jinsong and Zeng Cheng and other elders in the Ming Dynasty dug holes and burying people for Europa... it is obvious that digging holes and burying people has nothing to do with integrity. Those Europa barbarians were cheated can only be said to them.

Too stupid, I can't say that the Ming court is not trustworthy.

It is precisely because of this that Zeng Cheng and the older generations really couldn't think of any way to break the deadlock.

Just at this moment, Zhu Sanshun suddenly smiled and said, "Brother, I know your solution."

Zhu Jinsong looked at Zhu Sanshun with a smile and said, "Tell me, let me see?"

Zhu Sanshun responded and said, "My brother thought that the emperor's idea should be to continue to recruit some Japanese slaves and let those short-skinned men go to India and recruit workers in the name of the British and Dutch Indian companies."

"In this way, the matter of the British and Dutch Indian companies was solved, and the short men were solved. The matter of our Ming Dynasty requiring Indian workers was also solved. It can be said that we killed three birds with one stone."

Zhu Jinsong laughed and said, "Yes, that's what I plan."
