Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 421 Whether to take action against the country of Java (fourth change)

The news of Java's declaration of war against Ming also spread to the capital at this moment, and Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing in surprise when he heard about it.

Facing a group of cabinet officials, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help saying: "I didn't expect the Javanese Congress to directly declare war on me, no matter whether he is arrogant or deliberately bluffing to promote his country's prestige, since he has declared war, we can't be perfunctory. Take out all the military power of Ming Dynasty to fight this Java country, and don't return to the division if it is unfair!"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Qian Qianyi stood up and said directly: "Your Majesty, the country of Java is just a small country, a country of barbarians. Because the crown prince was killed by my Ming Dynasty, its king There is a declaration of war, and it is nothing more than to stabilize the hearts of the people in the country. If your majesty goes to war for this, it will be a waste of people's wealth. Therefore, I have the courage to speak out and ignore the violent rebellion of this small overseas country. Attitude."

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that Qian Qianyi would directly stand up against his own wishes, so although he was a little displeased with his views, he was also a little surprised.

At this time, Li Mingrui also stood up: "Your Majesty, I dare not agree with Qian Ge's words. No matter whether the Java Kingdom really wants to invade our Ming Dynasty, as long as he has declared war, he is provoking my dignity. Just ignoring my position as suzerain of the Ming Dynasty, so I should be punished! What's more, Your Majesty has stated long ago that the country of Java is my territory of the Ming Dynasty. Overseas citizens of Ming Dynasty have occupied our territory of Java for many years, now is the best time to restore their Han system, it is time for war, why not fight!"

Li Mingrui's words were in line with Zhu Youxiao's intentions, but Zhu Youxiao didn't make any obvious statement, but he didn't expect that Qian Qianyi would stop his military strategy.

But Qian Qianyi didn't notice Zhu Youxiao's unhappiness at this time. He was determined to fight Li Mingrui, so he completely ignored the wishes of the higher authorities, so he directly continued to refute: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to report carefully. Now that the foreign troubles of our Ming Dynasty have been eliminated, the Jiannu and Mongols are no longer able to pose a threat to our Ming Dynasty. Zheng Zhilong, the giant bandit in the sea, has also fled to the East. After the Western Expedition, he recovered. Hamiwei was conquered, but the military expenditure in the pass remained high, and the collusion between officials and businessmen made people’s lives miserable. If it is not curbed, a large number of landless people in the entire Ming Dynasty will do extraordinary things because they cannot survive.”

"Mr. Qian Ge is too alarmist. When will the foreign aggression be completely eliminated? Jiannu and Mongols are still capable of fighting, and they are both wolfish and ambitious. How can we relax our vigilance? In addition, how can the so-called government-business collusion make life miserable for the common people? Let’s talk about the relationship, let’s not say that His Majesty has already exempted corvee and most of the taxes. Even the funds for the war in these years are mostly from royal sales and business taxes. Your so-called collusion between the government and business not only solves the problem of the state treasury’s food. You have avoided the court apportioning the common people because of the war, so it can be seen that you are talking nonsense!"

Qian Qianyi's eyes are still focused on the customs. As a conservative official, he doesn't seem to care too much about external expansion, so he still wants Zhu Youxiao to solve the problem of domestic government and business ambiguity, and Li Mingrui's words are undoubtedly refuting Qian Qianyi was dissatisfied with the dominance of the commodity economy by imperial officials.

Zhu Youxiao saw that these two people were about to quarrel about whether the court officials participated in commercial activities, so he coughed a few times and said: "Shut up first, now is not the time to discuss these matters, the war in Java is It must be fought, whether he declares war or not, I will never allow a regime that hates the Han people to exist, even if he is in the remotest corners of the world, I will completely eradicate him. ?”

"However, Your Majesty, if you start a war rashly, it's fine if you win, but if you lose, my Daming will waste a lot of treasury money and food, and at the same time encourage the arrogance of some corrupt people, so I hope your Majesty think twice and don't resort to war Since ancient times, all virtuous kings have always been tolerant and tolerant of the universe." Qian Qianyi thought that what he said was very reasonable, but unexpectedly his sentence of "military violence" directly touched Zhu Youxiao's rebellious scales.

Zhu Youxiao immediately stood up and scolded Qian Qianyi angrily: "Qian Qianyi! Get out with me!"

Qian Qianyi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect His Majesty to say such a sentence suddenly, which made him very embarrassed. At this time, Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jinyiwei, ran over. After seeing Zhu Youxiao's nod, he directly Come in: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that the natives of Java have once again massacred our Han people in Java in the name of declaring war on Ming. The first brigade of the South China Sea Fleet has already rushed to Java. Military officer Gu Sanmazi asked His Majesty how to deal with the massacre in Java."

"It's really despicable! This Java state wants to declare war with my Ming Dynasty, but instead of directly challenging our Ming army, it points swords and guns at these innocent Han people, and thanks to these Han people also serving his Java state, Your Majesty, Now that I, Ming, intend to control Java, I can’t just sit back and watch these Han people be slaughtered by the natives of Java! I have the courage to suggest to Your Majesty, immediately take action to destroy the country of Java!”

As soon as Li Mingrui saw His Majesty, whose expression suddenly became more ferocious and terrifying because he knew about the massacre of Han people in Java, he immediately seized the opportunity to step forward and bowed directly.

Seeing this, Yang Sichang also stood up and suggested that Zhu Youxiao should directly eliminate Java.

For a while, Zhu Youxiao didn't feel disgusted by the behavior of Li Mingrui and Yang Sichang, but was even more excited because of it. He couldn't help but waved his sleeves: "As you said, since Java has declared war on me, we will also fight against him. After declaring war, the Ministry of War immediately came up with a plan, and I want to see this Java country disappear from the map in the shortest possible time, and in this way minimize the losses of the Han people."

"Your Majesty! The country of Java is just a disease of scabies. It is enough to strengthen the defense of the surrounding areas and send an envoy to warn and condemn. There is really no need to go to war like this. My Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. We should use benevolence to influence the barbarians in all directions, so that they can return to their hearts and be good at it." Fighting with swords will only make it cheaper for those corrupt people who broke the law!"

At this time, Qian Qianyi was completely in a daze. When he saw Li Mingrui directly asking Zhu Youxiao to correct the destruction of Java, he couldn't help standing up, and once again knelt down directly: "My minister dares to impeach the cabinet!" Li Mingrui, a bachelor, has ulterior motives and speaks out for his own selfishness in an attempt to trap His Majesty in injustice, His Majesty please punish this person severely!"
