"How dare we, the Ming Dynasty, be rich and powerful, how can we be in danger of national subjugation?" The ministers were furious for a while. Zhu Chunchen even scolded him directly.
"The country is rich and the army is strong? It's a joke. How much silver does the national treasury have now? How much food?" Zhu Dingguo asked in return?
"This, this? After the Minister of the Ministry of Finance came out, how much silver and food is left in the treasury?" Zhu Chunchen didn't know, so he had to ask the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
"Silver...1.5 million taels, grain...1 million...10,000 shi."
"How long will 1.5 million taels of silver and 1 million shi of grain be enough to feed 100,000 soldiers?" Zhu Dingguo continued to ask.
"The silver is enough for one year and two months, and the food is enough for two years." Zhu Chunchen's confidence was already half gone.
Although 1.5 million taels of silver and 1 million shi of grain are a lot, after deducting what the court needs, it would be good to be able to spend a tenth of it for the army to attack.
"We will subsidize the money and food for the time being. We can only build tens of thousands of slaves, and the imperial court in Liaodong will lose its face. Is this a military strength?"
For a moment, the ministers had nothing to say.
"I am so angry that my head is full of anger. I can see the mist of rain coming to rest. I look up and look up to the sky and howl, my heart is full of passion. Thirty years of success and fame, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't wait for your youthful head to turn white and feel empty and sad.
The shame of Jingkang has not yet snowed; the hatred of the ministers, when will it be destroyed? Drive a long chariot and trample through the gap in Helan Mountain. The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty. Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que. "
"I don't know, ministers, do you still remember Marshal Yue's Man Jianghong?
Do the ministers hope that your wives and daughters will have sex under the crotch of a foreign race? Are you going to kneel down and lick the shit of a foreign race? "
"Although my Ming Dynasty lacks money and food, this situation will never happen." Zhu Chunchen hurriedly retorted.
"That's right, that's right, do you think I, the Ming Dynasty, is the Song Dynasty who only wants to cede territory and pay for money? If a foreign race dares to come, even if the blood is splashed three feet, a big tooth of the foreign race will be knocked out."
.....
"Humph." Zhu Youjian almost laughed.
Who can't show loyalty? Before the Ming Dynasty fell, who was not loyal to the emperor?
But what about the result? Chongzhen was forced to hang himself on Meishan.
They cry poverty here in Chongzhen. Li Zicheng seized 70 million taels of silver from these officials.
At that time, if Chongzhen had one-tenth of his power, the country would not be destroyed.
"Wang Chengen, you convey my will, make noise in the important place of the court, and hit five boards with your stick." Zhu Youjian said to Wang Chengen next to him, looking at the civil and military officials of the court who were like a vegetable market.
Soon several burly generals left the main hall. In front of everyone, he pushed the noisy official to the ground and slapped the board five times, "Pah, pah, pah, pah, pah."
The effect of this method was immediate, and those officials who had not yet had time to join the noisy army chose to shut up. After all, getting slapped for making noise in court and getting slapped for contradicting the emperor are two different things.
The latter can still earn a good reputation at least, but it would be humiliating to get slapped for making noise in the court.
"Zhu Dingguo, please continue talking. The other officials with their own opinions will stand up and say separately. From now on, anyone who dares to make a noise like in the court will be rewarded with five boards." Zhu Youjian said.
In order to let all officials know that the country's subjugation was imminent, Zhu Youjian had been planning for five years. How could he be caught so easily?
Daming is now like a terminally ill middle-aged man. Although he looks very strong, he is actually very weak. However, the officials are not aware of it at all and are still lying on Daming's body to suck blood.
Although Zhu Youjian really wanted to kill these dog officials, he was not like Taizu, who had the great achievements of overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty and establishing the Ming Dynasty, and he did not have millions of elites who were loyal, brave and good at fighting.
If you attack the officials rashly, you will be the only one who dies.
The assault case in the forty-third year of Wanli (1615) and the Hongwan case in the first year of Taichang.
Zhu Youjian dared not forget the things about his eldest brother, his three nephews and three nieces.
A man named Zhang Cha was able to break into the prince's residence with a wooden stick.
Ming Shenzong became seriously ill less than ten days after he ascended the throne?
Then he actually took red pills of unknown origin.
The emperor was playing on the boat and actually fell into the water. After falling into the water, the imperial doctors were unable to do anything.
Six children had accidents one after another. Even pigs wouldn't believe it if they said it was an accident.
Things that happened around the royal family in the late Ming Dynasty made Zhu Youjian realize that the palace's defense system had already become a sieve.
Although in history, Zhu Youjian successfully survived until the country was subjugated, Zhu Youjian did not dare to gamble.
But history is just history and does not represent the future.
The mission of wiping out the slaves and reviving the Ming Dynasty has not yet been completed, and he cannot afford to be plotted against him first.
"A small slave establishment consumes most of the imperial court's energy. In addition to the She'an Rebellion, how much energy does the Ming have to deal with foreigners?"
"According to intelligence from our Imperial Guard, the Black Dragon Kingdom outside the Pass is raising 500,000 troops and plans to invade the Ming Dynasty in two years. Hongyi also plans to send 200,000 troops to capture Tianjin by sea in two years, and then plans to plot the capital. Tell me where to go. What can Shi Daming do to resist?"
Zhu Dingguo continued to talk nonsense seriously.
The affairs of the Black Dragon Kingdom and the Hongyi were all made up, but the situation of the Ming Dynasty is not better than this at all. The continuous natural and man-made disasters in the next few years will be the moment to test the Ming Dynasty.
If we cannot take this opportunity to hold the Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Households in our hands, it will be difficult to firmly hold these three ministries when the Donglin Party, Chu Party and other parties return to Beijing.
"We know Hongyi, but what is the Black Dragon Kingdom? Why have we never heard of it?"
"Other than His Majesty and the Imperial Guards, we are the only ones who know about the Black Dragon Kingdom. The Black Dragon Kingdom is extremely cruel and cannibalistic. Every time a city is broken, no one over the age of 3 will be left alive. ..."
"Master Commander, is what Zhu Dingguo said true?"
"What Zhu Dingguo said is true. Moreover, it is said that the Black Dragon Kingdom is fond of cannibalism and digs graves to make money..."
The words of Li Zhong, commander of the Jinyiwei, confirmed the fact that the Ming Dynasty was suffering from serious foreign aggression.
"According to the training of the Ming Dynasty, since the Imperial Guard has been born, I will make you the general of the country, commanding the country's troops. At the same time, I will make you the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. You will have the power to kill all officials in the three departments first and then report them. power."
'You must put down the Guizhou rebellious party and the slave rebellion within two years. If you fail to do so, you will be dealt with severely. '
Emperor Chongzhen announced directly in the court.
Putting down the She'an Rebellion and the Jiannu Rebellion in two years was not just talk.
According to Zhu Dingguo's plan, it took a month to rectify the Beijing camp and make it truly belong to Zhu Youjian.
After that, according to the plan, he led 500 biochemical guards and 5,000 elite Beijing troops. He planned to rush to Guizhou in 3 months, stop all frontline Ming troops, and put down the Guizhou chieftain rebellion in 3 months.
Then, taking advantage of the great victory, he returned to the north and returned to Beijing. He led the 30,000 Beijing camp and 100,000 Guanning troops to attract the Jiannu head-on. Su Polu's 50,000 Polu army took the opportunity to regain Shenyang, disrupted the Jiannu position, and took the opportunity to seize the Jiannu. Jiannu was driven out of Liaodong. ....
That's right, the whole plan didn't pay attention to the rebellious chieftain and Jiannu at all. The chieftain was a scumbag. With the support of 5,000 elite soldiers, it is not difficult to destroy them.
As for Jiannu, haha, even Su Polu can fight them neck and neck. When the time comes, the Ming army, which is fully equipped with Lumi guns, will definitely beat them to the point of crying for their father and mother as long as they don't have the influence of their pig teammates.
Not to mention that I still have 20 Gods of War and 20 LEFH18 howitzers. The effective killing radius of high-explosive bombs is 30m, which works out to 2826 square meters. A salvo of twenty weapons would probably result in an effective killing range of at least 10,000 square meters.
If the Jian Nu were charging in a dense formation, one round of shelling would probably directly cripple the Jian Nu. After three rounds of shelling, how many Jian Nu would be able to stand up?
Even if there are those who can stand up, do they still have the courage to fight against the Ming army?
What really worries Zhu Youjian is the rebellion caused by natural and man-made disasters in the late Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to donate 5 million taels of silver and 2 million shi of food to help Ming quell the rebellion."
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he made such a big splash.
"Eunuch Wei is indeed loyal to the emperor and patriotic. As a special gift, he will receive a gold medal to avoid death. Unless he is committing treason, he will be exempted from death if there is solid evidence."
"Everything today is confidential. If anyone finds out who leaked it, the Nine Clan will be punished."
