Wanli 1592

Chapter 250

Is this dreaming?
Can you make so much money in one battle?

"Your Majesty...this..."

Wang Xijue still looked confused.

Zhu Yijun put on an inscrutable look.

"Do you think I insist on fighting this battle to divert attention and let myself breathe? What do you think I fully support Xiao Ruxun in fighting the war, and even dispatch the navy? Is it just for the sake of the Ming Dynasty? You are wrong!"

Zhu Yijun flicked his sleeves: "As early as November last year, Xiao Ruxun sent me a secret letter, telling me that the country of Wa is rich in gold and silver throughout the country, and there is a very large silver mountain called Iwami Silver Mountain. With an annual output of one million taels of silver, a small country in the Wa Kingdom can mobilize 20 people to attack North Korea because there is so much silver. There will be a comeback, so if you want to fight, you have to fight thoroughly."

"So, Xiao Ruxun..."

"Well, he made a request to me to dispatch the navy to wipe out the Japanese navy from the water, trap the Japanese pirates in North Korea to death, then land on Tsushima Island, take Tsushima Island, and then use it as a springboard to attack the Japanese mainland. I won the silver mountain of the Japanese country for my use by Ming Dynasty. For this reason, I took 30 taels of silver from the inner treasury as naval funds to help Xiao Ruxun win this battle. Now it seems that Xiao Ruxun has lived up to me. Instead, it gave me a big surprise!

It not only killed Toyotomi Hideyoshi's daring and reckless person, but also caused internal strife in Japan, dividing the east and west, making it difficult to unify the outside world, and took down Tsushima Oki and Sado Mishima, established a maritime defense line, and took the land of Iwami, a country of Japan Nominally, it is leased for 50 years, but in fact, this is the land of my Ming Dynasty, and Iwami Silver Mountain also belongs to my Ming Dynasty for 50 years of mining.

Wang Qing, think about it, 50 years, 100 million taels a year, 50 years is 5000 million taels of silver! 5000 million taels!As long as he grasps this mountain of silver, then Da Ming will not worry too much about money in the next 50 years. Wang Qing, is this battle worthwhile for Da Ming? "

It took Wang Xijue a while to react. Realizing that he was still in front of the emperor, he quickly confessed: "The old minister was too surprised, please forgive the old minister for being absent-minded."

Zhu Yijun smiled slightly, so he didn't care.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Ruxun's move is really a precedent. The old minister has never heard of so much silver. He never imagined that he could get so much silver after fighting a war. Daming has such a good general. The old minister congratulates His Majesty! Congratulations!"

"Don't celebrate this and celebrate that. You have something to do. Xiao Ruxun said that the country of Japan is not weak. A big war can weaken it, but it can't destroy it. Daming needs to maintain a Japanese garrison of 1 people, stationed in Iwami, Oki, and Sado. As for Tsushima Island, you should send an official letter to the King of Joseon to choose good generals to station in Tsushima Island. Lighten some burdens for Daming."

Wang Xijue made some calculations and said, "Your Majesty, if Shi Jian occupies it, he will occupy it, but if you send troops to station those islands, you need to build ports, build residences, and deliver supplies. Isn't it too expensive? "

Zhu Yijun was expressionless.

"There are mountains of gold on the island."

"The old minister obeys the order."

Wang Xijue didn't say anything—this Xiao Ruxun is really talented, he squeezed so many things from Japan in one go... But more importantly, the fact that the Japanese are willing to cede these things means that they have more and higher output Mountains of gold and silver, this small Dongyi island country, is actually so rich?The land of China is vast and abundant, and there is no silver mountain with an annual output of millions. How can this small island country have one?And since there are so many, why not...

Wang Xijue murmured in his heart, why not just swallow Japan in one gulp, wouldn't all those things belong to Daming?Daming won't be short of money in a short time, right?This Xiao Ruxun is so good at fighting, you can't say you can't fight, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Xijue said again: "Your Majesty, since the small country of Wa Island is so rich and has the audacity to invade Daming and North Korea, Daming is a well-known teacher and can annex it, and what do you think, Your Majesty, if this country of Wa is so straightforward Just hand over the silver mine with an annual output of one million to Daming, which can only prove that there are more and bigger gold mines and silver mines in Wa country, and maybe even copper mines!"

Zhu Yijun sighed slightly, and said with a sigh: "It's not that I haven't thought about it that way. When Xiao Ruxun smashed the Japanese pirates like a bamboo, I thought about it like this, and I also asked Xiao Ruxun. As a result, Xiao Ruxun said that although the Japanese country is small, it has a large population. According to information reports, the population of Japanese pirates is more than 1000 million, much more than that of North Korea."

"1000 million? This small Dongyi country has a population of tens of millions? This..."

"I was also very surprised at the time, and I was even a little lucky. Fortunately, those bandit chieftains could not continue to endure. If they endured until the population was larger, and raised 20 troops to attack, then even Da Ming would be tired of coping. It is my fault that Er Xiaoguo has such a strong national power. Therefore, Xiao Ruxun also said that it is impossible to annex Japan without [-] soldiers and horses. As far as the current situation of Ming Dynasty is concerned, the logistics of [-] soldiers and horses cannot Guarantee, you must first take something from Wa to enrich yourself."

Zhu Yijun's eyes narrowed: "A small country has worked hard to rule and can invade North Korea with an army of 15, but my Ming Dynasty has been in peace for a long time, and even if I use [-] troops, it will exhaust my national strength. Be wary of the horrors of that small country? Therefore, I will accept Xiao Ruxun's suggestions, whether it is for money or for future generations, I will do something."

What else can Wang Xijue say?

"Your Majesty Shengming."

"Don't talk about being holy or not, I still have some things to discuss with you." Zhu Yijun walked back to his seat and sat down: "After this battle is over, the generals and ministers should be rewarded and rewarded." The seal, these are all simple, there are three people who I am not sure about the arrangement, one is Xiao Ruxun, the second is Li Rusong, and the third is Song Yingchang, if the rewards of these three people are not arranged properly, I am afraid that there will be another disturbance in the court. "

Wang Xijue also understands the truth here, Xiao Ruxun is the greatest hero, he got tens of millions of taels of silver for the Ming Dynasty, how to reward it is debatable, Li Rusong is the son of Li Chengliang, this meritorious service is not small, and his status is special, how should he be rewarded It's also a problem. Song Yingchang is a civilian commander. Although he has never been to the front line in person, it is a great achievement to prepare the logistics support army without any omissions. How to reward him when he comes back?
