- In the study room of the Qianqing Palace, just like in the past, after the morning court, Emperor Hongzhi called the main ministers over for a small meeting.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Liu Jin, Zhong Zhong, Han Wen, Liu Daxia, Yang Yiqing and Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu.
Because Zhang Mao's health was getting worse and worse, he could no longer handle the military affairs of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, so the affairs of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion fell on Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu and Ao Guogong Yang Yun.
Zhu Fu is already very old, but in good health. Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia, is in his prime, young and powerful, and he is also a new type of daimyo. He relied on a series of foreign wars and expansion, and relied on his own achievements. Those who were granted the title of Duke for their military exploits.
And because of his military merits, he is still an iron-hatted Duke and can be hereditary and replaceable. The same is true for Liu Jin, the Duke of Liao.
"It's just that Liu Jin is a civil servant, but he relies on military merit to be ennobled, so according to the rules, Liu Jin can no longer enter the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.
After all, Yang Yun, the Duke of Australia, can be regarded as the pillar of the Ming Dynasty army. He is young and powerful, and he fought step by step on his own. He has a high prestige. He has been in charge of the Western Regions and Nanyun Province for many years, frightening the Ottoman Empire and various tribes in the Western Regions. It is also prestigious.
The year before last, he was transferred back to the capital to be responsible for the affairs of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and to assist the emperor in taking charge of the millions of soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty.
It is estimated that in a few years, when Zhu Fu is too old to handle things, it will be Yang Yun's turn to attend small meetings.
ËZhong is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and he took over Liu Jin's position after Liu Jin entered the cabinet. Hanwen is the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu. He used to be the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and he can be regarded as taking over the position of ËÖÐ.
Liu Daxia and Yang Yiqing, one is the Minister of the Ministry of War and the other is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. The power of the Minister of the Ministry of War is now very small, and it is the lowest among the six ministries, even worse than the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Industry did not have much status in the past. It was mainly responsible for the construction of the emperor's tombs and palaces, but now because of the Ming Dynasty's infrastructure construction in full swing, roads and railways are being overhauled, and a large number of bridges are being built.
The Ming Empire's financial revenue of more than one billion taels a year, most of which is used for Ming infrastructure. As the highest institution in infrastructure construction, the Ministry of Industry holds such huge funds and projects in its hands, and its status is gradually becoming more prominent. .
This time z.com Zhang Si. "Your Majesty, the Governor of Hong Kong, Tang Yin, called. In the war between Spain and France, Spain is becoming more and more powerless. For the interests of our Ming Empire in Europe and to recover the principal and interest of the loan to Spain, it is recommended to provide more military assistance and loan."
Liu Jin told the latest telegram sent from Hong Kong.
"How much loan does Spain lend to our Ming Dynasty now?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he thought about it and asked.
"There are already 50 million taels of silver, and almost all the loans have been used to purchase arms, weapons and warships."
Liu Jin quickly replied: "Spain is really under great pressure now. They are fighting fiercely with Persia and North Korea in West Africa. The two sides have been fighting around the West African colonies for several years."
¡°In addition, we are also competing with Egypt for hegemony over Alexandria and the Southern Mediterranean, which is considered too much war.¡±
"My dear friends, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, thought for a while and asked everyone.
"Your Majesty, if Spain loses the war, I am afraid that it will no longer be able to repay our Ming Dynasty's loan. I believe that we should continue to support Spain. When necessary, we must even directly send troops to help Spain win the Spanish-French War."
Liu Jin naturally expressed his attitude very clearly.
If Spain loses the war, won¡¯t the 50 million taels of silver it loaned out be in vain?
You must know that this money was loaned out by the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty. This is absolutely unacceptable, and the Spaniards must be allowed to pay back both the principal and interest.
"Your Majesty, I think what Liu Jin said is reasonable. Spain has always had a very good relationship with our Ming Dynasty. It is an important friendly country of our Ming Dynasty in Europe."
"Besides, Spain has a very deep interest relationship with us, and we must not lose to the French."
Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu also stood up to express his support. He and Liu Jin were wearing the same pants, and the First Bank of Ming Dynasty also had shares of his family. Of course, the most important thing is that the major shareholders of the First Bank of Ming Dynasty were the emperor and the prince.
Spain will have to pay this money back no matter what, so he absolutely cannot be defeated.
"Your Majesty, I thought that when I came to the country in the Ming Dynasty, I should, that is something the emperor cannot tolerate.
The military power has finally returned to the hands of the emperor. How can it be placed in the hands of your Minister of War again?
What's more, the nobles and the military in the world will not agree. They don't want to look at the faces of civil servants, and they don't want you civil servants and literati to call you a bad guy.
¡°I don¡¯t want the army¡¯s armaments, logistics, salaries, etc. to be destroyed by you civilian officials. I will never allow you civilian officials to intervene.
Han Wen, Zhong Zhong and Yang Yiqing also looked at Liu Daxia. This man is old and always gets confused. Do you think it was more than ten years ago? Times have changed a long time ago.
"I also thought it would be more appropriate for Liu Daxia and Duke Liu to go and mediate."
Everyone thought about it and said in unison.
¡°You want to mediate, right? Then I¡¯ll send you to Europe for a try. By the way, I¡¯ll also get a feel for the situation abroad, so that you can clearly understand what principles the barbarians from all over the world believe in.
强牺 zhuiyo.com 读牺。Benevolence, righteousness and morality are bullshit, everyone believes in the truth only in the cannon within range.
Without the Ming Dynasty beating the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman Empire would not have committed any crimes against the Ming Dynasty.
Without warships bombarding London and Paris, European countries would not be respectful to the Ming Dynasty. Do you think that just by talking about benevolence, justice and morality, the other side will listen to you?
The reason why they are afraid of the Ming Dynasty is because the Ming Dynasty has garrisons in Hong Kong, China, the Golden Continent, and West Africa. It has a powerful fleet that can be dispatched at any time and anywhere to beat them up and beat them everywhere. tooth.
This time 75z*wz*.com Zhang Si. That's why they didn't dare to do anything to Ming, nor did they dare to infringe on Ming's interests.
So they knew clearly that the Ming Dynasty was behind the Japanese pirates, but they still did not dare to do anything to Hong Kong and could only continue to exterminate the Japanese pirates.
They knew that all the people captured by the Japanese pirates were sold to the Ming Dynasty, but they didn't even dare to let go of them, because the Ming Dynasty couldn't afford to offend them at all.
If the morality of benevolence and righteousness worked, the Japanese pirates and Tatars in the past would not have caused great trouble to the Ming Dynasty. Now the grassland people are herding cattle and sheep for the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese pirates are the valued subordinates of the Ming Dynasty and help the Ming Dynasty plunder slaves in Europe.
"These are all won by Ming Dynasty's fists. If you don't beat up the Japanese pirates, can they be obedient and become your little brothers?"
"Since everyone thinks it would be more appropriate for Liu Daxia to go to Europe for mediation, then it would be up to Liu Aiqing to go to Europe for mediation in person."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Daxia and also ordered.
"II accept the order!"
Liu Daxia looked at Emperor Hongzhi, then at the crowd, and thought in his heart that he was still going to Europe at his age, so he would not die on the way.
¡°I just advocated lower reconciliation, but in the end, I got into such trouble and had to go to Europe.¡±
But now, it seems like it¡¯s impossible not to go.
"Your Majesty, Egypt and the Persian Empire have won several victories over the Ottoman Empire in the Middle East. Now they are actually threatening to take back the Egyptian Canal, believing that the Egyptian Canal was built on their Egyptian land, and when it was first built, it was mainly for It was also built by hundreds of thousands of Egyptians.¡±
Zhida z.com Zhixiao. "It is extremely inappropriate to say that we, the Ming Dynasty, only have to invest some funds to occupy half of the ownership of the Egyptian canal. We also say that we have already recovered our investment over the years, and they, Egypt, should take ownership of all the Egyptian canals. Take it back."
