Xu Hongji is naturally aware of the thoughts of these people. At this time, these people are still coveting the little benefits from the land. Xu Hongji also feels that he hates iron for not being able to make steel!
"But Xu Hongji is a cunning person after all. Seeing these people, he still didn't understand. He didn't say anything to them. He sat back and took a sip of tea!
Putting down the tea cup, Xu Hongji said slowly: "You should know that Jiubian has changed now. Mongolia and Houjin are both crushed by the Ming Dynasty. The sea is also different from before. The Japanese country has been defeated now. Come down, the money and slaves from the Japanese country are being transported to the Ming Dynasty in a steady stream, do you know why?"
Although Chang Yinxu was humiliated, he did not dare to really fall out with Xu Hongji. He could only use Xu Hongji's question to find his own way: "What else could it be for? Our Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses are so powerful!"
Xu Hongji shook his head but said nothing. Everyone didn't know what Xu Hongji meant, and they didn't dare to answer the words. They had to look at each other, and finally focused on Liu Kongzhao!
Originally, Liu Kongzhao did not intend to touch this brow, but if he wanted to legitimately inherit the hereditary title, he had to make a name for himself in the circle of nobles. Otherwise, if someone really wanted to fight against his uncle Liu Laichen, the title of Lord Sincerity would probably be lost. Nothing happens without him!
Therefore, Liu Kongzhao could only ask shamelessly: "Master Guo, what do you think it is for?"
Xu Hongji smiled coldly and said: "The Ming Dynasty is still the same Ming Dynasty, and the officers and soldiers are still the same officers and soldiers. But when the money is given, the sheep can turn into tigers. The emperor's behavior is already very clear, which is to use money to lure us ministers If you do things well, you will naturally receive big rewards, but if you don¡¯t do them well, those heads in Luoyang City are the best examples!"
When the city of Luoyang was mentioned, everyone was awestruck. For more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there had never been a case where all the officials in the government were slaughtered.
Although Yang Lian did this and killed a civil servant, no one is a fool. Naturally, it is clear that Yang Lian is the knife of the little emperor Zhu Youxiao. Whoever makes the little emperor unhappy will be cut off with the knife. !
Liu Kongzhao swallowed his saliva and asked uneasily: "My lord, now that there is a separation between civil and military affairs, no matter how powerful Yang Lian is, he can't control us. Even if the emperor has installed a royal navy in Nanjing, they are still the same as us." If the water doesn¡¯t invade the river, it shouldn¡¯t be a big deal, right?¡±
"Humph!" Xu Hongji sneered twice and said: "Confused! Haven't you heard of the military police? Last year, the emperor's decree did not mention the dispatch of military police to South Zhili. Now the Nanjing fleet is here, follow them. It should be the military police. You might as well think about it. With these military police inspecting military affairs, and the Nanjing fleet guarding the southeast, can you cover up those bad things? I wonder if Dongchang will get involved. !¡±
As soon as Xu Hongji said these words, the nobles and military attach¨¦s in the room were so frightened that they sweated on their foreheads. Only then did they realize that they were so stupid. They thought that the world had not changed and they could hide in Nanjing and be happy as before!
But now the world has really changed. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty has got rid of the control of civil servants and has extended his tentacles to all parts of Ming Dynasty. The Guards have become the sharpest blade in the hands of the emperor, exuding a cold light all the time!
"The Emperor is wise!" Xu Hongji said with emotion: "When there was no Royal Navy, the Emperor only gave us the order to take over the military affairs, but did not send the military police here. I am afraid that the Emperor also knew at that time that we people lived in Nanjing. , it¡¯s so intricate up and down that a hundred military policemen can¡¯t pose a threat to us, so there¡¯s no need to worry about it!¡±
Having said this, Xu Hongji glanced at everyone with a cold look, and then said: "But it is different now. The Royal Navy has stationed in Nanjing, and His Majesty has given the Nanjing fleet 20,000 people. There are 20,000 elite soldiers and generals. No, the military police are naturally good at what they do, and we people are tied to a cage. If we want to jump around randomly, we have to think carefully!"
The nobles sitting here were all awe-struck when they heard what Xu Hongji said. They knew that if they followed Xu Hongji's words and 20,000 people of the Royal Navy were stationed in Nanjing, they would really have no room for mischief. Who would dare to do anything in the future? Come, I'm afraid you're going to be in trouble!
As for whether these people want to use the military power in their hands to do something, then stop making trouble. The southern army has always been weak. This is a well-known thing!
Back then, the Japanese pirates were nothing more than a ragtag group. The officers and soldiers in the southeast had already abandoned their helmets and armor. If Qi Jiguang hadn't trained the Qi family army, it's not certain when the Japanese pirates' chaos would be put down!
And it¡¯s because the Qi family army is so strong?Coercion in the southeast, the combined civil and military forces of the southeast sent them to Jiubian, and completely annihilated the Qi family army in the dust of history at Jiubian!
It's just that no matter how powerful Qi Jiguang was back then, he had to call himself a lackey in front of Zhang Juzheng, but now the Royal Navy is the emperor's personal guard. In other words, this army is a private soldier paid for by the emperor. Who can he use such an army? Can the mother move?
It can be said that this Royal Navy is Zhu Youxiao's sharp blade in the southeast. With the existence of this Royal Navy, the north and south of the Ming Dynasty are all in the hands of the court. In the future, if you want to rely on the sky to stay away from the emperor, you can live a free and easy life. Days later, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be possible!
Seeing the affection of these people, Xu Hongji couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart: "What a bunch of rubbish. When nothing happens, they show off their power to one another. But when something really happens, they don't pay attention. Sooner or later, they will drag them to death while protecting these people." It¡¯s better to keep the emperor¡¯s lap!¡±
After making up his mind, Xu Hongji said calmly: "My interests have been made clear to you. I don't care what you want to do. However, ten days later, I will personally inspect the clearance of military fields. If my father-in-law finds out something that shouldn¡¯t happen at that time, don¡¯t blame my father-in-law for disregarding the friendship we have had for so many years in order to ensure his family¡¯s wealth!¡±
Speaking of this, everyone also knew that Xu Hongji was going to kill them. Although they were still a little reluctant to part with those fields, Xu Hongji had made the matter clear. It was not that Xu Hongji wanted to deal with them now, but that the time was ripe. , the little emperor in Beijing has put the knife on their necks!
Just like what Xu Hongji said, it¡¯s all for the sake of his own wealth. Xu Hongji can ignore the friendship for many years for the sake of his own wealth. They, the nobles, must also give up everything they should give up for the sake of their own wealth!
After thinking about this, everyone stood up and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, we will go back and take back all the fields that need to be retreated. In ten days, we promise to not be as difficult as the Duke!"
Xu Hongji saw that although these people were a little stupid, they still knew the importance, so he nodded and said: "You all remember, from now on, the wealth of us people will not be in the fields but in the sea. We would rather withdraw more of those fields." Keep your tail, and don¡¯t fall into trouble for such a small gain when the time comes!¡±
????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of politeness and said: "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for the tip!"
Xu Hongji then waved his hand and said: "Now that you understand everything, go back!"
Everyone then took their leave and left the Duke's Mansion with frowns. Although these nobles were reluctant to leave the military fields, it was not a physical pain. They just had some leftovers taken from their mouths. , it¡¯s just a little uncomfortable after all! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
