In the residence of Liu Jian, the chief minister of the current cabinet in the capital, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Daxia, and Zhong Zhong all came to Liu Jian's house to discuss the major issues at hand.
Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War, and Zhou Jing, the Minister of Hubu, are still in prison, but the position of the Minister needs someone to take his place.
After being recommended by the cabinet and appointed by Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Daxia succeeded Ma Wensheng as Minister of War.
But now, everyone knows that the Ministry of War is no longer the former Ministry of War. The current Ministry of War does not have any military power. The military power has been reassigned to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and is under the direct leadership of the emperor.
Despite this, the Hubu is still one of the six bureaus, and the Hubu Shangshu is still an important minister in the court and the pillar of the country.
The Ministry of Husbandry also has Ji Zhonglai to succeed Zhou Jing as the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, but the power of the Ministry of Husbandry has not changed at all.
"The news came back and we won again~"
I don¡¯t know whether he is happy or sad. There is no trace of joy in Xie Qian¡¯s words. His eyebrows are slightly furrowed, as if he is worried.
"It's a good thing that we won the battle. At least the southeastern coastal areas will no longer have to worry about Japanese pirates."
Li Dongyang smiled and said.
"There is no need to worry about the Japanese pirates, but they won again, and this time they asked for fifteen million taels of silver compensation from the Japanese country. Your Majesty will definitely be very happy, and he will rely more on those military officers and nobles in the future. This In the future, we civil servants will have even less status in the court."
Xie Qian said very worriedly, watching helplessly the rise of the Military Generals Group, watching Emperor Hongzhi slowly move closer to the Military Generals Group, and getting further and further away from loyal people like them.
"You can't say anything~"
Liu Jian shook his head slightly.
"The Japanese invaders and below are killing our people in the Ming Dynasty, and they are still allowing the Japanese invaders to invade our southeast. They should really be taught a lesson."
"We didn't have this power before. Even if we wanted to deal with the Japanese pirates, we were powerless."
"Now that we can teach them a lesson and solve the problem of Japanese pirates in the southeast, this battle will not be in vain."
Liu Jian¡¯s statement is quite fair, and his starting point is for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty. As for the civil and military disputes, they should be placed after national affairs.
¡°What¡¯s more, after giving the Japanese pirates a hard lesson, it will be safer for our Ming merchant ships to travel to Japan, Korea, Nanyang and other regions in the future.¡±
"Summer has begun now. There are hundreds of large ships in Tianjin preparing to go to Huanghuangzhou. In the past, we had to worry about Japan, but now we can rest assured."
After hearing Liu Jian's words, Xie Qian suddenly fell silent. He didn't know the significance of winning this battle to Ming Dynasty. For Ming Dynasty, the meaning of this battle was to solve the trouble in the east, at least in the next few decades. Time, everyone in the east of Ming Dynasty can sit back and relax.
However, Xie Qian is from Zhejiang, a typical Jiangnan person. He represents the interests of the big businessmen, big landowners, and big gentry in the Jiangnan area.
One of the important reasons why Japanese pirates are rampant is because some people collude with Japanese pirates and pirates and use them to blockade the southeastern coastal areas so that they can monopolize the incredibly profitable sea trade.
Without the support of the Japanese country, the Japanese pirates would be like water without a source or a tree without roots. Even if the imperial army did not go to eliminate them, these Japanese pirates would naturally die out.
This not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese pirates, but also dealt a heavy blow to the interests of the big families, big businessmen, and big gentry in the southeastern coastal areas. It would be impossible to monopolize maritime trade in the future.
Coupled with the rise of maritime trade and shipbuilding industry in Tianjin in the north, it quickly robbed the market and financial resources of these people in the Jiangnan area, so the opinions of these big businessmen, big families, and big gentry in the Jiangnan area were very big.
As the saying goes, cutting off someone¡¯s financial path is like killing one¡¯s parents.
The big businessmen, big families, and big gentry in the Jiangnan area were naturally unwilling to do so, and they had been trying to influence the Ming Dynasty through officials from the Jiangnan area.
In the past, many people could be found to speak for their interests. However, after several major cases, Jiangnan Shilin suffered a heavy blow.
Now in the entire court, although there are still many officials from the Jiangnan area, there are only a few people left at the highest level, and Xie Qian is the representative among them. He is a cabinet minister and an important minister in the court.
There is no doubt that he naturally became the representative of Jiangnan Shilin, and also??Expand a few more new armies. "
Emperor Hongzhi was silently calculating in his heart. He did not expect that just by defeating the Japanese country, he would be able to receive fifteen million taels of silver in compensation.
This business can be done.
Only tens of thousands of troops were dispatched before and after, and several battles were fought on the Japanese side. Basically, they relied on powerful artillery to bombard the enemy, and there were not many real frontal battles.
Therefore, the casualties were very slight. The number of soldiers killed and sacrificed was less than three digits, and the number of injured was less than 500. The Japanese country was severely repaired at such a small cost.
"It must be Liu Jin who did it. Zhang Mao, Liu Jin, and Yang Yun definitely don't know the difficulties of being a leader. Only Liu Jin knows the importance of money."
"It's time to reward him properly. He has done a lot for me all the time. He must be granted a knighthood. Marquis shouldn't be too much, but he is still too young. I will have to assist Hou Zhao in the future. If you make a marquis all of a sudden, it won't be easy to reward him later, so let's make him a count first."
The first thing Emperor Hongzhi thought of was Liu Jin.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT off out of Liu Jin's handiwork, it cedes land, pays compensation, and has terms like lease, Zhang Mao and the others couldn't come up with these things.
So Emperor Hongzhi was also thinking about how to reward Liu Jin well. Liu Jin had done a lot for the old Zhu family.
Not to mention anything else, just for the properties acquired for the old Zhu family, even Emperor Hongzhi himself probably doesn¡¯t know how much wealth the old Zhu family has now. Anyway, he doesn¡¯t have to worry about money now, and he doesn¡¯t have to worry about it anymore. I picked at Soso as before.
"By the way, there is also the Shijian Kingdom. The Shijian Silver Mine has hundreds of millions of taels of silver. This belongs to our Ming Dynasty and can be mined slowly in the future."
Soon, Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s eyes were fixed on Shijian Kingdom again. Thinking of Ishijian Silver Mine, Emperor Hongzhi became even happier.
The Shijian Silver Mine, which contains hundreds of millions of taels of silver, is enough to be mined for a long time. For a long time in the future, the silver mined from the Shijian Silver Mine alone will be enough for him to maintain the expenses of the Ming army.
"We got the money, solved the Japanese problem, and stabilized the route to Huanghuangzhou. This stop is worth it. Liu Jin is no less than a son of an expert, and he has a far-sighted vision."
"With Ishimi, we also rented Hyogojin and stationed troops here. From now on, the Japanese country will be able to live in peace, and we, the east of the Ming Dynasty, will have no more troubles from now on."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the map and towards the east of the Ming Dynasty, with a smile on his face.
Putting aside the so-called benevolence and morality, the exchanges between countries must be based on interests. Things that are in line with the interests of Ming Dynasty should be done more, and things that harm the interests of Ming Dynasty should not be done.
If we consider the affairs of the suzerain and vassal states and do not use force against the Japanese, where will the money come from and how can we eliminate the Japanese trouble?
"Liu Jin is right. There are only eternal interests between countries, and everything else is false."
Emperor Hongzhi remembered Liu Jin¡¯s words and immediately smiled.
"Next is the grassland in the north. Although the little Tatar prince is dead, the Tatars have been severely damaged. They are not enough, but now they are taking the opportunity to unify the grassland."
Soon, Emperor Hongzhi turned his attention to the vast grasslands in the north.
According to the latest news, the Oara army marched eastward and swept across the entire grassland, from the Tianshan Mountains and the Altai Mountains to the Greater Khingan Mountains and the Northeast region in the east. Wherever the Oara army passed, the tribes on the grasslands surrendered.
The areas and tribes that were originally ruled by the little Tatar prince have basically been conquered by the Oara army. The Tatars were destroyed, but Emperor Hongzhi was not happy.
Because the northern grasslands have been unified, once the grassland people are unified, another Mongol Empire may be born. There is no doubt that the Oara army that unified the northern grasslands will soon go south again with the intention of settling in the Central Plains.
This is the biggest headache for Emperor Hongzhi now.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the way, the Tatar tribes suffered heavy losses, but in the end, they got the advantage of Oara and allowed Oara to unify the northern grasslands.
Although the northern border is still quiet now, Emperor Hongzhi can already feel that the eyes of the northern prairie wolf are looking south.
But Emperor Hongzhi is not afraid now because he is also confident. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
