Although everything in Dakang is now very good, and this year is generally good, Emperor Jinghe feels that he is getting busier and busier.
This should be the case.
Post-disaster reconstruction is the most troublesome.
Last year, almost a third of the empire was destroyed.
Especially in Jiangnan, the loss has reached more than half. It will take at least three years to restore the prosperity of the past.
Jiangnan is the most important taxation area in the world, accounting for more than one-third of the imperial court's taxation.
¡°And because Jiangnan is at war, the business going to and from Jiangnan has decreased a lot last year.
"With less business, there will be less taxes, and the court's income will be low."
So last year, in order to pay the salary to the courtiers who were in arrears, Emperor Jinghe had to serve the dishes.
This also made Emperor Jinghe hate the Japanese pirates who caused this situation.
But there is currently no good way to deal with Japanese pirates.
After all, last year, the Japanese pirates immediately attacked the Southern Navy, causing them to lose more than one-third, and they have not yet recovered.
The strength of the Southern Navy has declined, so the Northern Navy naturally does not dare to act rashly.
????????????????????????????????????? But there¡¯s not no good news.
For example, today, Emperor Jinghe received a secret letter from Xiu Yiwei.
This was sent back by the Xiu Yiwei who was ambushing the Chen family's fleet.
They had sent it back twice before, when they were returning to the harbor to rest.
Now that this letter has been sent back, it means that this year's training and suppression mission of the Chen family fleet has been completed.
Emperor Jinghe was delighted when he saw it, and directly called Zhong Chang, Ge Songdao, Liao Shicong and Gao Jing.
The four people were amazed after reading the secret letter.
"Your Majesty, this concubine of His Highness King De is really powerful." Liao Shicong praised directly, "Before they went to sea, I thought they were just playing around, but I didn't expect that she was so brave. She had wiped out more than 30,000 people in one breath. A pirate!"
"The waters on the east coast are now completely new. People doing business are much more comfortable because the risks they encounter are greatly reduced." Gao Jing added, "I heard that even if Mrs. Chen did not attack the places, those pirates would I am so scared that I don¡¯t dare to treat me harshly, a wealthy businessman!¡±
"good!"
Emperor Jinghe slapped the dragon chair and said, "Look! Look! She is still a woman, but she can do such a thing. Look at what our navy has been doing for so many years!"
Several ministers were silent.
It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t know, it¡¯s just that it¡¯s hard to tell.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, after such a long period of time, although the Navy still retains a certain degree of combat effectiveness, it has lost a lot of ability and aggressive mentality.
¡°Otherwise, they would not be attacked by Japanese pirates and suffer heavy losses.
Not to mention that when the war in the north was in full swing, the Japanese pirates and pirates blocked all kinds of reinforcements, and they almost couldn't even send Liu Mingjing and his five thousand Yulin Guards.
Zhong Chang changed the subject: "Actually, this is not only the work of Mrs. Chen, but also His Highness Prince De. Look at the various weapons and resources they consume, look at the various equipment they are equipped with This way they are armed to the teeth. The caravan guards are more powerful than the navy, isn¡¯t it natural?¡±
"That's not necessarily true. The quality of weapons cannot determine the direction of a war." Ge Songdao shook his head, "Just like His Highnesses King De and King Wu. Although their weapons and equipment were first-class, the day and night of the chase on the grassland Fighting, without great perseverance and super commanding ability, they would have been caught long ago."
"um, yes!"
Emperor Jinghe nodded.
At first, he was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Everyone can see that Mrs. Chen's command mode, as well as her scheduling and adaptability are all top-notch." Ge Songdao said: "Such a talent might be of great use if we go to fight against pirates supported by Japanese pirates next year. ah!"
"Well, there is also the super-large sailboat from Miao Taisheng, which can be delivered by the end of this year." Liao Shicong added: "With the support of such a giant ship, Mrs. Chen will definitely not suffer."
"OK!"
Emperor Jinghe laughed, "Then when she returns to Beijing this year, I will also meet this heroine It is not easy for her to do this as a woman! If she can really kill one or two Japanese pirates next year , I have to upgrade her, no matter what, she must be the concubine of King De!"
&nbThe banner to resist Shi Wei's tyranny is what they have always pursued.
Now that the time is getting closer, everyone can¡¯t help it.
Li Ruxuan was silent for a while and then laughed: "Why are you panicking? I, an old man, am not in a hurry. Why are you in a hurry? Are you in a hurry to die?"
"But now we are strong enough!" Li Yu said, "We have trained 50,000 elite troops, and there are 150,000 more ready to train at any time As long as we launch an attack, the Shiwei people will be caught off guard and defeated. Then, if we hold on to several cities in the north, how can they break in?"
"You are too naive!" Li Ruxuan smiled contemptuously, "These people have almost never experienced a life-and-death battle. They are just well-trained. How can they compete with Shiwei's master of hundreds of battles? Let alone one to one, it is three. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t work even if you compare it with one!¡±
"this¡¡"
Li Yu wanted to refute, but could not find any actual refutation.
"Wait a minute!"
After a moment, Li Ruxuan sighed leisurely: "Dakang and Shi Wei have formed a deadly feud! According to Liu Mingqi's temper, he must not be able to bear it! Let's wait and see, waiting for Liu Mingqi to send a hot air balloon to bomb Shi Wei After entering the city, let¡¯s take a look at the situation!¡±
Li Cheng was surprised: "Scared? Does he really dare?"
"He even dared to burn the palace of Tubo and the city of Cheshi. Why didn't he dare to burn the city of Shiwei?" Li Ruxuan asked.
"Hehehehe"
Li Yu smiled when he heard this. He clenched his fists and was now full of longing.
Liu Mingqi, Liu Mingqi, you have to live up to your expectations!
These barbarian bastards must be burned to death! ! !
But Li Cheng was full of doubts about this.
He has much more brains than Li Yu.
Liu Mingqi is definitely not an impulsive person. Once he decides to burn down Shi Wei's city, he will be ready for a full-scale war with Shi Wei.
If you want to fight Shiwei, you must prepare at least 500,000 troops, as well as countless various baggage and equipment, all of which require large-scale logistics support.
Dakang¡¯s own conditions are very bad, so it will definitely not be within one or two years.
In other words, at least for a year or two, I and others will have to endure it.
Think about it, it¡¯s really hard work!
