Chapter 169 Seven Seas Overlord
Chapter 169: The Seven Seas Overlord
"Your Majesty, it is a waste of money to enthrone ships to build luxury. It is just to enthrone an irrelevant overseas country. It is not worth it! Your Majesty, if you have these money, it is better to use them to provide disaster relief. It can save countless people and benefit the people."
Yang Jing also stared at him. The Ming Dynasty bureaucrats also knew that they were "pragmatic". They had no money and didn't even want face. They even advised the emperor not to care about this matter, which was unnecessary.
"I know that if you don't have silver, it's a little easier. If it really doesn't work, I can rent a merchant ship. This time, I will pick up a few passable things from my palace to take it over. It's a little too long. As the saying goes, no one can stand without trust, and a country will decline without trust. I cannot break my trust in the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom." Yang Jing insisted on going to Ryukyu, which is a business road! In the past, when playing the game of sailing, Ryukyu had a port called Naha, where you can trade. In the future, your navy and fleet will always go out. This Ryukyu garrison can also be regarded as a prelude to becoming a sea overlord. Yang Jing was suddenly ambitious and was preparing to be a seven-sea overlord in the Ming Dynasty.
The ministers were not choked to death by the emperor's words, and it is understandable to make it simple. Just renting a merchant ship and then passing by. This thinking is too advanced and unexpected. However, the emperor's words are reasonable. People do not have faith, and a country does not have faith. If this matter is not solved for a long time, the longer it will prove the decline of the country. The ministers bowed their heads to digest the emperor's words.
"I think it's not appropriate. As far as I know, this is not just a matter of canonization and reward. I have talked to the envoy. The envoy talked about the Ryukyu Kingdom, many years ago, and once captured the king and Zongqi to Japan. They came this time, and there was another meaning, that is, I hope that our dynasty will send troops to help them deal with Japan, avenge their revenge for the destruction of the country, and hope to get the protection of our dynasty. Your dynasty will send envoys to do so. Once your lord is sent, you will have to care about their affairs again. Think about it, our dynasty is in trouble now, with natural disasters and no way to take care of their own affairs. How can you still have the ability to take care of their affairs?" Seeing that the emperor was very persistent, the minister finally explained the foundation of this matter.
Yang Jie was furious at first, then laughed wildly, thinking, God helps me, it seems that this Japanese has already attacked Ryukyu Kingdom, and he is lacking the excuse to use troops at sea. Even a navy army has to borrow the name of recruiting global sailing. Now, he has an excuse to send troops at sea. That is to protect the vassal states, then station troops in various sweet potato countries, and then engage in navigation trade. Haha, it won’t take long before the Ming Dynasty’s real version of the “Seven Seas Overlords” will belong to him. The otaku who has not played video games for many days has become addicted to games, and he plans to use the Ming Dynasty as a game to operate.
Yang Jie grabbed the things he could grab and smashed them hard on the ground. With a "clang", there was a silence in the hall.
The ministers were terrified that they had never seen the emperor "furious".
"Little... the Japanese people bully people too much... dare to challenge the power of the Ming Dynasty, dare to capture the king of the Ming Dynasty's vassal state, the clan weapon, bully people too much, too much, a great shame, a great shame! This is to treat my Ming Dynasty as nothing! Treat my Ming Dynasty's face as a rag! This Japanese country is really squatting on the head of my Ming Dynasty to shit..." Yang Jing pretended to be furious, not only smashing things, but also using his hands to slap the throne. The furious situation is also terrifying.
When the ministers saw it, beloved, what happened to the emperor? After hearing what the emperor said, he realized that the emperor was angry that the Japanese did not give face to the Ming Dynasty. They were angry that the Japanese did not take the Ming Dynasty seriously and felt that they had been slapped in the face by the Japanese. In the last sentence, it was even more amazing. They squatted on the Ming Dynasty's head and shit out. The ministers, some were angry, some were ashamed, some were secretly laughing, and some were numb.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The ministers once again used their ultimate move "ae", and Yang Jing took advantage of the situation and lowered his anger.
"My dear friends, I didn't plan to ask too much about this matter. Now, it's not that I can pay some money or reward some gifts to finish it. This involves the national system and majesty of the Ming Dynasty, and my dignity. The Japanese did not take me seriously at all, but did not take me seriously at all. If I don't punish the Japanese, what's my face? What's the face of the Ming Dynasty in this world? This little Japanese country has slapped and slapped me in the face." Yang Jing was furious.
"Report to your Majesty, I think that I should punish this Japanese. I think that during the Jiajing Dynasty, pirates often invaded our seas and killed our soldiers and civilians. I wanted to be in the Wanli Dynasty, and even planned to be a vassal state of our country and fought with our country in Korea. I think that this Japanese man should have taught me a lesson long ago, otherwise, sooner or later, one day, it will definitely cause a disaster!" In the Ming Dynasty, there were also many angry young people. When the emperor said that he would punish the Japanese, someone immediately brought out the old affairs of the Ming Dynasty and the Japanese.
"Report to Your Majesty, I also agree to send troops to punish Japan. I think this country really doesn't know that the world is high and not only attempts to get involved in Korea, but also occupy Ryukyu. This is an insult to our country and a contempt for our country! If our country does not punish Japan, how can our country survive in the world and suppress other small countries? Do you want this country in the heavenly state? Although Japan was defeated by our country in Wanli Dynasty, it seems that it is not willing to give up now. It may rekindle at any time and may make a comeback at any time! Your Majesty, I think that we should send troops to Ryukyu to teach Japan a lesson."
Yang Jing was a little happy. It seemed that Japan had indeed caused great harm to the Ming Dynasty. Many people supported this assault on Japan. If it weren’t for the Japanese having blood feud with the literati of the Ming Dynasty, no one would have said that they would have attacked Japan.
"Report to Your Majesty, this Japanese country, Taizu once said, is a country that is not conquered!" Some ministers also jumped out and used the ancestral teachings to explain things.
Yang Jing did not say anything, and immediately someone came out to oppose: "The country that does not seek tribute to our court is because they paid tribute to our court. Taizu made them the promise of "sharing the blessing of peace". Now, not only do they not pay tribute to our court, but they also used weapons and swords to destroy our vassal states. A few years ago, tens of thousands of people fought to the death with our soldiers in North Korea and attempted to annex Korea. How could others snore beside this bed? Who knew that they had annexed North Korea, and the next goal was not to use weapons and swords to our court? Is this what a country that does not seek tribute to us? Also, when Chengzu, he did not use military force to Annan. Is Annan not obedient now?" This man looked young and said something a little angry, and it seemed that he was still a bit bloody.
However, these people who helped the emperor speak were all those who stood behind. Those who stood in the front row did not speak.
"Report to Your Majesty, this Japanese country has no choice but to use troops to our vassal states, destroy the country, and capture the king. This is indeed wrong. It is indeed a punishment. However, the treasury of the court is now empty, and even if it wants to send troops to Ryukyu, it does not have the financial resources! With this financial resources, it is better to relieve more natural disasters that are about to come."
Yang Jing saw clearly that the person who spoke is Bi Ziyan. Once he spoke, it must be a financial matter. Yes! If he had no money, he was ambitious. You should not do anything, but you should take care of your own family affairs.
Yang Jing's thoughts drifted to Japan. Japan still has a ruling class. As the saying goes, a rotten ship has three kilograms of nails. It is not impossible to plunder some oil and water from the Japanese ruling class. It is said that Japan is still a big silver producer. The silver there is many times cheaper than China. Yang Jing, who has read many novels, remembers that there are several very large silver mines in Japan. If you get this place, you will make a fortune. I really have to think about this matter.
"If you want to call the messenger to ask about the actual situation, otherwise, our monarch and ministers will discuss it here and discuss it, and they don't even know the actual situation there. Isn't this a blind discussion? Let's pass on the messenger." Yang Jing decided to meet the messenger first, and know himself and his enemy, and he will never win a hundred battles. He has heard of it.
Seeing that the emperor insisted on meeting the envoy, many ministers sighed secretly, saying that it was not easy to persuade the emperor. If he persuaded him again, the emperor was originally angry at the Japanese captive Ryukyu, and he would become the emperor and become angry at himself.
"The envoy of the Zhongshan King of Xuanliuqiu Kingdom met with him." After a long shout, two people came soon.
Yang Jie looked at it and found that the clothes these two people were wearing were quite similar to those of the Ming Dynasty’s official uniforms.
"The envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and the envoy of the Ryukyu Kingdom kowtowed to His Majesty, long live my emperor." The two kowtowed, very respectful. After waiting for seven or eight years, they finally met the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How difficult it is!
"Get up. Are you the messengers of Ryukyu?" Yang Jie looked at these two people. If they hadn't said they were from Ryukyu, their outfit and appearance would be the same as a small official in the Ming Dynasty.
"Report to your Majesty, I am the one who is the one who is the one who is in charge." said a leader.
"Is there a letter of nationality?" Yang Jing read "Journey to the West" and knew that when he met foreign envoys, people coming, there should be a letter of nationality, official discs and other things.
"Report to Your Majesty, yes, yes." The leader quickly took out a notebook from his arms, lowered his head, and held it respectfully above his head.
Wang Chengen went to get it back and handed it to the emperor. Yang Jie opened it and looked at it, pretending to look at it.
"The Ryukyu Kingdom is a vassal state of our dynasty and has always been respectful to our dynasty. I know this. It is said that this envoy, the Japanese Kingdom sent troops to capture the king and the clan artifact in his early years. Is this a matter?"
When he said this, the messenger burst into tears, started to cry, and told the matter intermittently. At the same time, he kept adding fuel to the Japanese, making the Japanese worse than beasts, and was even more unreasonable to the Celestial Empire.
This envoy is also sensational. Many people in this hall became angry.
"So, this Japanese country is really hateful. This envoy, tell me, how many troops does this Japanese country garrison in Ryukyu?" This is very important. Yang Jie felt that if the Japanese had fewer troops there, he could send some people to rescue the Ryukyu country, and then station troops there. This would become history, and he could do business smoothly.
"Report to your Majesty, there are not many people in the Japanese country that are stationed in Ryukyu, only a few hundred people. Thinking about the number of troops sent to attack our country at the beginning, there were only 3,000 troops. Now, most of them have been withdrawn, with only less than four or five hundred people." The envoy missed the Japanese's background to the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Jing felt secretly proud. Very good, very good. There are only a few hundred people. Sending one or two thousand people by himself is enough. This number is not big and the expenses are not big. It should be possible. This is the training of navy and sending troops overseas. There are all names and other names. This is the beginning! Seven Sea Overlords, I am here.
