"Subscription coupons plummeted?"
The next day.
As soon as Zhu Yijun got up, Tian Yi informed him of the news.
Tian Yi replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhu Yijun couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Why, are they worried that Ming Dynasty can't defeat the Folangji people, or are they worried that Chen Lin can't defeat the Folangji people?"
"From my perspective, the reason for the latter is bigger."
Tian Yi replied.
Zhu Yijun snorted, said nothing more, and just walked to the Imperial Palace.
As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Service Department, Zhu Yijun said to Wang Lin, the Minister of Household Affairs:
"The Ministry of Accounts has raised the voucher tax rate for trading subscription coupons to prevent large-scale selling, which has led to some people not wanting the navy to conquer Luzon."
Wang Lin raised his hand and said yes.
Nandu.
Because the emperor was far away in the northern capital, this place was still the favorite place for frustrated bureaucrats and scribes to gather. The bureaucrats and scribes here still met often to talk about state affairs.
"Do you really think the imperial master is going to be defeated this time?"
Zhang Jing poured a glass of wine for Gu Xiancheng who came to the party, and then asked him because Gu Xiancheng mentioned that this kind of imperial master would definitely lose.
Gu Xiancheng took the wine glass with a smile and said, "Of course!"
"The weather has been getting colder and colder year by year recently, and there are many winds on the sea, which is not conducive for large ships to go out to sea. This is not the right time;"
"But Luzon is too far away from the central territory. Once the war reaches a stalemate, food and grass will not be provided. This is the time when no land is occupied;"
"Weng Yuan is really a villain! He is greedy by nature and has a cunning heart. Behind him, the big families in Fujian and Guangdong are close to the Western Yi people, and I am afraid they will not want him to win a big victory. This is not taking advantage of the people!" "
"My father-in-law, do you think the imperial master can win at this time?"
"Or does anyone want the imperial court to win?"
As he spoke, Gu Xiancheng asked Zhang Jing with a smile.
"rational!"
After hearing this, Zhang Jing said in a deep voice: "No wonder many wealthy families have been selling subscription tickets recently. They must have known the inside story."
Gu Xiancheng smiled slightly: "That's exactly the reason."
"If you ask me, the imperial court should be defeated once!"
"Otherwise, the traitorous party in the DPRK will become even more lawless. While each one of them is taking advantage of the people's support, they will rely on their own success in military affairs to make the emperor full of military virtue and trust them to the extreme."
"It just so happens that if he loses once this time, it will also let the emperor know that the traitor party has changed from a help to his martial arts to an obstacle to his martial ethics. By then, the day when the traitor party such as Li Shenwu County will fall will be over. Not far!”
Zhu Dazhou, the former Jiangxi patrol censor who also attended the party, also echoed at this time.
Gu Xiancheng nodded and said with a smile: "To say that today, it is not only the military virtues that are outstanding, but also the cultural governance. First, he was permanently exempted from the corvee Ding Yin in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and then he was permanently exempted from Beizhi, Shandong, and Fengyang. The local silver for horses and fodder is not the Shandong Banjun system, which allows the soldiers and civilians in these places to be relieved."
"These are enough to be called virtuous policies!"
"Why does Mr. Donglin have such a reputation as a traitor to the party? The emperor's current civil and military skills are just the merits of Taiyue back then. What does it have to do with these traitors in Shenwu County today?"
"If gentlemen like Wang Shanyin were to rule the country, the civil and martial arts would only become more prosperous! Maybe the good governance of nurturing and nurturing soldiers would be restored again!"
Zhu Dazhou smiled coldly at this time and refused to acknowledge Gu Xiancheng's statement.
Gu Xiancheng smiled bitterly and said: "Why deceive yourself and others? I don't want to admit it, but it is true that many good policies were promulgated during Shenwu County's administration."
"I said, that is the work of Taiyue, not his work in Shenwu County for the sake of the country!"
Zhu Dazhou stood up immediately, shouted loudly, and glared at Gu Xiancheng.
"Drink, drink. We are all supporters of restoring old etiquette. Don't let this hurt our harmony."
Zhang Jing was busy trying to persuade him.
Gu Xiancheng was not angry at all, but he was even more panicked and said: "If I think about it now, if Zhang Taiyue was still here, maybe the court situation would not have developed to this point, at least the fate of Xu Huating and Zhang Puzhou would not have been the same. It would be so embarrassing and miserable, and Yang Xiangfu would not be defeated by the Yi clan, let alone the military ministers controlling the military planes, and the excessive conquests. I thought that Taiyue's absence would change the world's atmosphere, but who would have expected that after Taiyue, the gentleman would be They were even more bullied by villains, and their punishments were more severe, and many scholar-officials were torn apart by cars.”
"That's true. If Tai Yue were here, His Majesty would not kill the scholar-bureaucrats at will, and Zhang Siwen would not only cater to the emperor but not protect the dignity of the scholars."
Zhu Dazhou then followed up and said: "So, I am now willing to admit that Taiyue has contributed to the country, and I have begun to complain that Zhang Puzhou and Qiu Maoshi were too mean back then, and they actually wanted to knock Taiyue, Zhang family and others into the 18th floor He will never be able to escape from hell, which has led to the ruin of his family and his life. It has also made the traitor party more domineering. The emperor's misunderstanding of gentlemen like us has become more and more profound. Even though he is diligent and loves the people, all the credit seems to go to the new party. !”
Zhu Dazhou poured a glass of wine into his mouth as he spoke.
Gu Xiancheng also looked melancholy, and then said: "I hope this time it will be as I expected. Chen Wengyuan used troops to defeat Luzon because of his own selfish interests! Let the emperor realize that the new party is not completely reliable!"
East Penghuang Mountain.
Cluster after cluster of snow lines are falling on the seaside rocks here with the wind, and Li Wenhe, who arrived here first by car, is here, looking at the newly built Huangshan Soldiers and Horses Victims Monument and Memorial Temple standing here. As well as the statues of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, he said to Feng Ge, a maritime merchant who moved here:
"Tell the Archbishop that I already know Chen Lin's deployment. The Ming army's first attack location this time is Maris. There are 63 advance warships and 26 double-decker gun cabin big bird ships, carrying 7,000 officers and soldiers!"
Feng Ge nodded: "Okay, sir, I will go to Shuangyu and tell them."
Li Wenhe added: "Also, remember to sell the subscription coupons I asked you to hold on your behalf!"
"The southeastern clan has reached an agreement with Chen Lin. Chen Lin has decided to flee overseas temporarily at the cost of being defeated and convicted, turning this conquest into a disastrous failure. He is also preparing to move out his relatives, and you must do it as soon as possible. Sell the subscription tickets while the price of the subscription tickets is still good now.”
"yes!"
Feng Ge agreed.
"This monument and ancestral hall, as well as the statues of Qi and Yu, must be destroyed by any means!"
"Stand here every day. Don't let the Han people hate the Taixi people in the future. Even the mountain people will hate the Taixi people. How can we sell them to the Taixi people?"
Li Wenhe suddenly said something again.
"Master, you think he is an eyesore, and we think he is an eyesore too!"
"There have always been monuments and temples erected to commemorate virtuous scholars and officials. I have never seen monuments erected for the common people. This erection made everyone who came to Huangshan know what the Folangji people had done here, which led to The people in Huangshan are very vigilant every day, and the local civilians actively cooperate with the government and the army to keep watch, so that even if we want to unite with the Japanese pirates to do a big business here, it will not work."
"But this was given by the emperor. How can we destroy it? We can only see if we can ask the officials in the court to give up on the grounds of paying for labor on Donglai Island after the defeat of Luzon. If it is removed, there will no longer be a Chief Secretary and other government offices, and they may be destroyed when the time comes.”
Feng Ge said helplessly at this time.
"That's what I mean. After selling the subscription, you will get a huge sum of money back. When the time comes, you will use his 180,000 silver dollars to go to the capital and explore the world."
"You always have to give everything a try, otherwise you will have to watch helplessly as the coastal people become smarter under the influence of the new gift."
Li Wenhe said.
"Why!"
Feng Ge agreed.
"The Governor is here!"
Chen Lin has officially been appointed as the admiral of this expedition to Luzon, so the officers and soldiers under his command have begun to call him the governor.
As soon as Li Wenhe heard that Chen Lin was coming, he rushed over to welcome him.
Feng Ge also immediately escaped into a merchant ship and sailed north.
After seeing Li Wenhe, Chen Lin asked, "Have you made contact?"
Li Wenhe said: "We have already contacted him. Soon, the price of domestic subscription tickets will plummet further."
After hearing this, Chen Lin said: "Okay, let's light the fire and cook. If the weather is calm, we will set sail tomorrow morning!"
"yes!"
The next day, the sea breeze was not strong, so Chen Lin took Li Wenhe and others on board the ship, led the Chinese army's 70 warships, and chased Baiyun southward.
But not long after the fleet set sail, Chen Lin gave an order: "Send a signal and the army will not go to Maris, but to the Hawksbill Port in Lingayen Bay, catch up with the advance fleet, and give them an order to change course!"
Li Wenhe was stunned immediately after hearing this.
"Aren't you going to Maris?"
Li Wenhe then asked.
"I won't go, the governor has another plan!"
