Thinking of this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but smile lightly. This guy can clearly see what's going on. He must have seen the reason why he let those people go and returned to Ryukyu. Therefore, he refused to accept those people to Ryukyu. He even pretended that even if he killed these people, he would not blink an eye. Maybe if he does this, he will feel relieved in his heart.
However, this guy included these Wang Sects in the money, which made Huang Qiong smile bitterly. Before, I only thought that this person was eager to replace the false emperor's body and stabilize his internal situation. So I won’t care too much about something. But looking at it now, no matter what, this person is a businessman, and he still has shrewdness in his heart. Before, I still looked down on this person.
Huang Qiong stood up, stood in the study and paced back and forth for a long time, then raised his head and said to Kou Zhun: "How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? Ryukyu is only two to three hundred miles away from Fujian Road by sea. I will never let them. , stay under my nose, let alone allow such a huge navy to be entrenched in a place two to three hundred miles away from the imperial court, which can pose a threat to the imperial court at any time."
"I can give them five more years to establish a foundation there, but Ryukyu must be given away. Also, I can stay with those Wang Zong and Tooe branch and find another place to settle. As for those within the third server, They must be taken back. The capital is not a den for trouble, let alone a place to raise idle people. I will never allow such a bunch of bastards to stay in the capital and harm the people."
"As for these things, I'm not asking to talk about them immediately. You can talk to him slowly. Some things should always be allowed. Why don't you just sit back and pay back when people ask for high prices? But what I'm talking about today is the bottom line. Especially Ryukyu, I can grant them some more time, but the island must be given away. You can tell him directly, just say what I say, don't let others snore on the side of the bed."
"Thinking about taking advantage of the imperial court, you put the knife in my armpit. There are so many good things in this world. I am not one of those confused officials who don't know anything about the overseas situation. I can be fooled by him. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. There is one more thing, you should also tell him on my behalf. Just as I said, what is the point of a good man who has ambitions in all directions and always stays in his own nest? "
Having said this, Huang Qiong waved and took Kou Zhun to the crude chart he drew with the last trace of his memory. Pointing to the location of Ryukyu Island, he said: "Look, my dear, this is Ryukyu Island where they are hiding now. It is only more than 200 miles away from Fujian Road by sea. I have asked the Fan family, if there is smooth sailing, at most It’s only three days’ journey.”
"They have a huge navy fleet in their hands, as well as tens of thousands of elites who have completed full training. In addition, a large number of sophisticated ordnance made by Dali Kingdom were transferred from Jingjiang Mansion. If they are allowed to stay in Ryukyu, the entire Daqi There will be no peace along the coast from Shandong Road in the north to Yazhou in the south. Ai Qing has also seen the cannons they cast. Although they are a bit bulkier, they are better than those of the imperial court."
"This is not just a problem of an island, but the key to the stability of Daqi's coastal roads. In the face of powerful naval forces who are familiar with the wind direction and currents of this coastal area, this vast sea may not be able to Become a barrier for our government. They are too familiar with this sea area. Think about the last time, if I hadn't secretly arranged it, I set up a large number of secret forts in Jiangning Mansion. "
"They almost allowed them to go up the river and successfully attack Jiangning Mansion. Jiangning Mansion is of vital importance, as it is the only place where grain and money from the south of the Yangtze River must pass to go north. Especially now, there are only a few roads south of the Yangtze River. The grain transported and the taxes paid are equivalent to almost half of the world. Once the Jiangning Mansion loses, it means that the imperial court's water transportation channels will be cut off and nearly half of the taxes will be lost."
"The most important thing is that the Jiangning Mansion and the Wuchang Mansion are related to the mobilization of the imperial army from the south to the north of the Yangtze River. Once the Jiangning Mansion fails, the imperial court will be in a situation where they cannot care about each other. This means that tens of thousands of elites in the south of the Yangtze River will be cut off. If the Jiangning Mansion is lost, let’s not talk about whether the morale of the troops on the front line will be disturbed. Even if it is not, once the situation in Jiangnan changes, how will the imperial court go south to reinforce it? "
"On the Jiangnan battlefield, almost most of the imperial court's elite are concentrated. If the battle in Jiangnan goes wrong, it will mean that the imperial court's elite will be lost. At that time, the one who will be driven out and killed by the rebels will probably be the imperial court. Even Liu Jinli is still abiding by the rules. He would do such a treacherous thing. But what about his descendants? Who can guarantee that there will no longer be a new false emperor among his descendants."
Having said this, Huang Qiong pondered for a while and then said: "Everyone has ambitions, Aiqing. Just like Aiqing, when he passed the imperial examination, didn't he think about reaching a position of supreme minister? I'm afraid Aiqing, you also have the idea of keeping the affairs of Zhongshu's family in order. Let alone a civil servant like Aiqing. He was the first Guilin County King when the country was founded, and he never thought that his descendants would rebel. "
"Even if Liu Jinli doesn't have this idea, even he can't guarantee it. Therefore, I will never allow such a large force to exist so close to the imperial court. Ryukyu Island must be handed over. There is absolutely no doubt about it. As for other things, we can talk about it, but if he lets the court place those bastards, then don’t even think about playing tricks with me."
After Huang Qiong finished speaking, Kou Zhun did not answer immediately, but looked at the sea chart. Compare Japan in the north and the islands in the south. After a long time, he said: "Your Majesty, do you think this is possible? Since they don't believe the place mentioned by Your Majesty, in my opinion, can they be moved to the three islands of Japan? At least they can be seen there."
"And the folk customs in Japan are still relatively strong. If they are allowed to move to Japan, they can weaken each other. The snipe and the clam are fighting, and the court can benefit. Killing the rebels will eliminate internal troubles, and killing the Japanese will eliminate the future. It may be a foreign invasion. Moreover, the Guilin County Prince’s Palace has controlled maritime trade for many years, so they should be familiar with Japan Island. It is still appropriate for them to move to Japan. "
Huang Qiong was stunned by Kou Zhun's words. He did not expect that Kou Zhun, the bookish person who originally criticized him in the examination hall, would now come up with such a damaging move. After all, it was the officialdom that trained people, and he had just passed the imperial examination. A few years after entering the officialdom, Kou Zhun had changed from the simple and upright person he was at the beginning to the scheming person he is now.
Let the rebels and Japanese weaken each other so that the court can benefit. Killing the rebels would eliminate internal troubles, and killing the Japanese would eliminate domestic troubles. Huang Qiong always felt familiar with this move. Huang Qiong, who thought about it for a long time but didn't think of this trick, nodded and said: "I am very happy that Aiqing has such an idea. Aiqing has matured and started to think about it from a higher level and the overall situation. question."
"Indeed, the Japanese Islands are further away from the imperial court than Ryukyu. Moreover, the Japanese Islands have strong folk customs, but now they are also divided internally. If those people are moved to the Japanese Islands, we can indeed borrow Japanese people. Use your own hands to weaken the last remnants of the rebels. But not only are earthquakes and volcanoes erupting there all day long, but the terrain is narrow and the land is also quite barren."
"Not only the imperial court knows this, but I also want you to know that the Guilin County Prince has been in control of trade for more than a hundred years. How could they not know it? That Liu Jinli seems to be a very scheming person now. The imperial court asked them to move to Japan, and he How can I not see it? The most important thing is the people there, and the folk customs are also strong. If they are subdued by this person, it will increase their strength when the time comes. "
"Another point is that there are a lot of silver mines in Japan. The silver mines there are much more productive than those within the imperial court. Going to Japan will not only not achieve Ai Qing's purpose, but it will also allow them to make use of Japan's resources. Expand your own strength. My dear, not only can Japan not propose it, even if they themselves propose that they want to go to Japan, the imperial court will definitely not agree to it."
"Also from Daqi to the west and south, allowing them to control any place will affect the domestic routes to the West and Southeast Asia. After a hundred years of living alone, even if the situation is pressing, they have to give in. But from now on From Liu Jinli to the people below, I’m afraid no one will believe them if they say they are willing. But on this vast sea, if they want to do something, would it be really too easy? "
"Especially from Ryukyu to the south and from Annan to the west, they will pose a threat to the shipping route. Therefore, I will not allow them to occupy any of those places. I give them only one choice, and that is to go where I pointed out to them. Go somewhere. Tell Liu Jinli that I don't believe in any of their promises. I can relax a little more over time. But let's not talk about other things.
After Huang Qiong's decisive words fell, Kou Zhun pondered for a long time, but finally nodded. Just thinking about Liu Jinli's attitude today, Kou Zhun will have a headache for the next task. Also, this person wants to poach people from their roots. Who would be replaced and how many would accept it? Kou Zhun can imagine how difficult it will be for him to negotiate next.
After Kou Zhun left, looking at this guy's back, Huang Qiong also shook his head. How could he not know that the next negotiation would be a very difficult test for Kou Zhun. However, if jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool. If it does not go through some ups and downs and hardships, how can it really become a useful tool? However, Kou Zhun's rapid progress in recent years was somewhat beyond Huang Qiong's expectation.
After sending away the exhausted Kou Zhun, Huang Qiong did not return to the harem immediately. Instead, he sat in the study, looking at the flickering candlelight, and then looked down at the books on the desk. The memorial that had been transferred from the capital had a pensive look on his face. Since he went south, Fu Yuanshan and Yu Mingyuan have been handling daily government affairs together. But if there is any major event, it will be forwarded directly from the capital.
They used the secret channel of Nanzhen Fusi, and the speed was quite fast. Basically, it can be sent from Beijing in five days. The few folds on the table were transferred from the capital. Fu Yuanshan, Yu Mingyuan, Gao Huaiyuan, and Yong Wang jointly sent the secret folds. The content above left Huang Qiong speechless. It seems that after he left Beijing this time, some people felt that an opportunity had come.
They actually plotted to kidnap the old man, support the seventh prince to supervise the country as the Supreme Emperor, and support the seventh prince's mother as the queen. In the name of the queen holding the curtain and the prince taking charge of the government, he took over the government and the world. In the words of a planner, since ancient times when the emperor went on tour, there was no precedent for the queen to take charge of the government. If this continues, this dynasty will repeat the mistakes of the former Tang Dynasty and there will be an example of a female emperor ascending the throne.
What's more, the current queen comes from a rebellious family, which makes her the current queen's moral mismatch. Since Huang Qiong came to the throne, the originally stable world has now become full of chaos. It was also due to the fact that the current emperor was in the wrong position and became even more cruel and unjust after he ascended the throne. Therefore, among the princes, they will choose a prince who is of noble birth and capable of taking on the important affairs to take over the throne.
