Chapter 450: Daming's Cannon Fodder Resource Pool(1/2)
All the big guys present naturally said that public opinion was right and mother-in-law said mother-in-law was right, and no one could convince the other.
Anyway, they are all the top bigwigs in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of their ability to quarrel, no one is inferior to them, and in terms of their ability to fight, they may not be afraid of anyone.
Even Zeng Cheng, the leader of the civil service group, this old scumbag who has always been known for being shady is a serious scumbag who has been on the battlefield and fought hard. Even if he can't defeat Liu Heming and other five-army governor's murderers in a duel,
, they are not necessarily any weaker than Liu Huaiwen and others.
The big bosses were just arguing happily, and Emperor Zhu slowly frowned.
Emperor Zhu was becoming more and more impatient with the current rhythm - there was always a fool jumping out to cause trouble, first England, then Benghazi, then the sand goose, and then the stupid thief eagle again.
Everyone was having fun doing things. The question is, did these people ask Daming's opinion before doing things?
No!
Damn it, not one of them acted according to the script planned by Daming. Instead, they all scrambled to add drama to themselves.
It’s his mother’s fault!
The more Emperor Zhu thought about it, the more unhappy he became. After some deliberation, he simply knocked on the table with his fingers and said in a deep voice: "The force of hitting the sand goose this time is still not enough. Otherwise, how could the stupid thief eagle dare to do it at this time?"
Jump out and cause trouble?"
After hearing what Emperor Zhu said, Zeng Cheng and other big guys were actually a little confused.
Did the stupid thief eagle take the initiative to cause trouble?
No!
A stupid thief might not have expected that his own in-house film would be launched, right?
Now you, Emperor Zhu, have put all the blame on the stupid thief Ying. Isn't this a bit too bullying of Ying?
Just after a second thought, all the big guys present fell silent again.
It would be beneficial for Emperor Zhu to vent his anger on Silly Thieving Eagle. After all, Silly Thieving Eagle is too far away from the Ming Dynasty. Even if Emperor Zhu wanted to kill Silly Thieving Eagle, he could only do it with the help of King Qin and King Jin.
If it were Tianzhu or Japan that was relatively close to the Ming Dynasty, what would Emperor Zhu do if he raised an army to conquer it himself?
After thinking for a while, Zeng Cheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think that although the stupid and thieving eagle is excusable, his crime is unforgivable. I should order the King of Qin to raise troops to punish me!"
Liu Huaiwen also hurriedly followed and said: "I second the suggestion - now that the national treasury is empty, it is not appropriate to spend time on expeditions. Secondly, with the King of Qin in Yin, it is easy to control a stupid thief eagle."
As Zeng Cheng and Liu Huaiwen finished speaking, Liu Heming and other bigwigs from the Fifth Army Commander's Office suddenly frowned.
If Zhu Erdan is allowed to lead his troops to fight against the stupid thief eagle, he can definitely win. The question is, won't this battle become Qin's fight against the stupid thief eagle? What does it have to do with the Ming Dynasty's Five Army Governor's Mansion? If the Five Army Governor's Mansion
If you can't get involved, what will happen to the big guy's official position and title?
But Liu Heming and others also knew in their hearts that the choice of Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and others was actually the right one. After all, the distance between Ming Dynasty and Silly Thieving Eagle was too far, and it was not as close as Qin State which was closer to Silly Thieving Eagle.
Just as Liu Heming was thinking about how to get the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief to participate in the action against the stupid thief eagle, Zhu Jinsong and Emperor Zhu laughed loudly and said, "Did I ever say that I would go on an expedition?"
When Emperor Zhu said this, Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other big guys immediately became confused.
Especially Liu Huaiwen, there are ten thousand things he wants to say in his heart - if you, Emperor Zhu, didn't dislike beating the sand goose hard enough, why would I, Mr. Liu, agree with Old Man Zeng's proposal? Send Qin Guo
It also costs money for the army to attack the Silly Thieving Eagle!
The more Liu Huaiwen thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but snorted and said: "Since Your Majesty doesn't plan to send troops to attack the silly thief eagle, does he plan to let Qin's army launch an attack?"
However, Emperor Zhu smiled and shook his head and said: "No, I have no intention of letting Qin's army attack Silly Thief Eagle."
Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other big guys suddenly became even more confused.
Emperor Zhu slowly knocked on the table and said slowly: "Although the silly thief Ying's family's troubles are beyond my expectations, they are within the acceptable range. In other words, I hope that silly
If the Thieving Eagle continues to be in such chaos, it would be best if both the Southern Eagle and the Northern Eagle suffer losses."
"So, I am not sending troops to attack the Silly Thieving Eagle, but I plan to pick out a kid first so that the barbarians from the Little Broken Ball can recognize who the big and small kings are - Silly Thieving Eagle, Sand Goose, England,
France, no matter what happens, you have to choose one from each of these four families."
"As for Silly Thief Eagle, just do what we agreed before and continue to provoke the landlords of Silly Thief Eagle's family to fight against the capital owners. If necessary, we can also let the second and third sons sell to Silly Thief Eagle's family.
Muskets and artillery.”
"..."
Emperor Zhu's mouth opened and closed, constantly spouting poisonous plots, while Liu Huaiwen's old face also turned into a smile.
It is a good thing not to kill stupid thieves, but selling muskets and artillery is the best thing among good things - the current vassal system in the Ming Dynasty not only does not provide salaries to the vassals, but also collects taxes from the vassals!
In other words, the more muskets and artillery that Zhu Erdan sold, the more taxes the Ming court could receive from Qin, and the richer the Ming treasury would be!
Only Liu Heming and other big bosses had disappointment written all over their faces.
Today is another day when the Ming Dynasty lost the most generals and princes...
Just when the big bosses of the Fifth Army Commander's Office were filled with disappointment, Emperor Zhu turned his attention to Liu Heming and others.
Emperor Zhu slowly knocked on the table and said slowly: "I heard that the West Kunlun Sea is quite uneven and pirates often appear?"
Liu Heming and other bigwigs from the Fifth Army Commander's Office immediately became energetic.
The sea in West Kunlun is indeed not very peaceful, and pirates often appear, and a number of European merchant ships have suffered greatly.
Ming merchant ships?
Ming merchant ships did not worry about pirates.
It’s not like there were no pirates who attacked the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty in the past, but the Ming Dynasty’s methods of dealing with pirates were too ruthless - if one of the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty was unlucky, the pirates from all over the country would not be able to survive. With good luck,
They were kept in the sky, and those who were unlucky had to be hoisted to the boat to feed the sharks.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty built several naval bases in West Kunlun, and later no pirates could think of it.
More importantly, isn't it your Emperor Zhu who has the final say on whether the sea in West Kunlun is flat or not?
Liu Heming complained in his heart and bowed down: "Your Majesty, there are indeed many pirates in the waters near West Kunlun, and all merchant ships coming and going have suffered greatly from them."
Liu Huaiwen suddenly became alert.
What do you want to do? Instead of being a stupid thief, go to West Kunlun, right?
Just when Liu Huaiwen was thinking about how to say that the treasury was empty, Emperor Zhu put on a look of compassion: "As the emperor, I hear that the people all over the world are suffering from pirates, and my heart is... very painful!"
None of the big guys present spoke, they just watched Emperor Zhu's performance quietly.
Emperor Zhu raised his hand and wiped the slightly dry corners of his eyes with the corner of his clothes, and then continued: "Your Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army will go back and discuss with the other four great benefactors, and ask them to send a fleet to each place to jointly form a maritime alliance. The fleet is used to combat pirates who rob merchant ships at sea."
After a brief pause, Emperor Zhu turned his attention to Ke Zhiming again: "I heard that France has been using troops against West Kunlun recently?"
Ke Zhiming immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, France is indeed using troops against West Kunlun - the last time Khamis caused chaos in Benghazi, France had already assembled its troops and planned to march into Benghazi."
Zhu Jinsong hummed and said: "As France is the suzerain of the Kunlun Kingdoms in West Kunlun, there is nothing wrong with entering Benghazi. However, Napoleon is young after all, and his battlefield experience is inevitably lacking, so he can only rely on his firepower advantage. Come to win.”
Hearing this, the big guys in the Ming Dynasty finally understood what Emperor Zhu meant - first to show off the Ming Dynasty's maritime muscles by forming a joint fleet to fight against pirates, and then to support France's attack on West Kunlun to show off the Ming Dynasty's land. Firepower.
Just because he understood, Liu Huaiwen's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Your Majesty, now the national treasury..."
As soon as Liu Huaiwen mentioned the word "treasury", Emperor Zhu felt a headache.
As we all know, no matter how much gold and silver there is in the Ming Dynasty's treasury, Liu Laolu's mouth is full of emptiness, emptiness, and emptiness, it is tens of thousands of times emptier than that young man with kidney deficiency.
After waving his hand to interrupt Liu Huaiwen's crying, Emperor Zhu hurriedly said: "Countries like this can't just enjoy the benefits without paying a small price. The military expenditure of the combined fleet, well, cough."
Liu Huaiwen's expression immediately turned from gloomy to clear.
What does Xiaopoguo’s military spending have to do with the Ming Dynasty’s treasury? Emperor Zhu and others have said that Xiaopoguo is a group of small countries—who dares to say that Ming is one of the small countries?
Seeing that Liu Huaiwen stopped crying and was poor, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but rubbed his forehead and said: "Uncle Huaiwen, don't be too happy too early, there are still people over there in Tianzhu..."
When Emperor Zhu said this, Liu Huaiwen couldn't help but rolled his eyes and snorted: "What happened to Tianzhu? Tianzhu is the hometown of Han and Tang Dynasties in my Central Plains hall. Now that I have taken it back, I should pay tribute to Tianzhu." It’s about relocating the people.”
???
All the big guys present were shocked!
Is this what Liu Laojie can say?
Did this old man get the wrong script, you bastard!
Even Emperor Zhu asked in confusion: "Uncle Huaiwen, relocating people to Tianzhu is not a trivial matter. The budget..."
Liu Huaiwen snorted coldly and said: "Is the budget of 100 million dragon yuan enough? If it is not enough, another 100 million will be enough. As long as there are enough people to move, the national treasury will have enough budget to allocate it."
Hearing this, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but cautiously walked to Liu Huaiwen and reached out to touch Liu Huaiwen's forehead. Did this old man drink fake wine or did he have a fever? He could actually say that he had enough budget.
talk?
Just when Liu Huaiwen angrily opened Zeng Cheng's hand, Song Yucheng, the man in charge from the Ministry of Works, laughed loudly and said, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Zeng Ge, I know what happened to him, Mr. Liu, today."
Zeng Cheng looked at Song Yucheng in confusion and asked, "What's going on?"
Song Yucheng laughed again and said sarcastically: "What else could be going on? The reason why he did not cry for poverty now, but generously stated that the national treasury can allocate a budget for the relocation of Dingkou, is nothing more than knowing
Got the news about the precious stones in Tianzhu."
"If Tianzhu doesn't have enough benefits, and with Mr. Liu's greedy temper, I'm afraid Your Majesty would have burst into tears just now when he mentioned the word Tianzhu!"
At this point, Song Yucheng couldn't help but complain: "Maybe the national treasury will be so empty that it will be like a rat racing a horse."
Being complained about like this by Song Yucheng, Liu Huaiwen didn't blush or breath, and he was even in the mood to joke: "Song Carpenter, do you still want the Ministry of Industry's budget for next year? Otherwise, it should be less.
To be continued...
