"Want to borrow it again?"

As soon as the Emperor of Xingwuyuan heard the word "borrow", his original excited look disappeared and replaced with a bitter look.

Because the emperor knew that she and Zhu Cijiong were already deeply in debt. They would never be able to repay the debt they owed in their lifetime, and they could not even pay the interest on the debt.

The two of them have already fallen into the quagmire of bankruptcy!

When Emperor Kobuin became emperor of Japan, although his total income was only ten thousand koku a year, as long as he lived frugally, he could basically meet the expenses and did not have to borrow money to survive. But he did not expect to marry a "

After becoming "extremely rich" Prince Daming, he owed huge debts that she had never dared to imagine before!

Although King Ning of the Ming Dynasty had 2 million stone fiefdom, his management was not very good, and the actual amount he received was very limited. Moreover, his expenses were too high, including building cities, raising troops, and helping Xingwuyuan to raise 2,000 northern troops.

Samurai. These northern warriors alone cost 2 million taels of silver a year!

"Of course I have to borrow it!" Zhu Cijiong nodded, "The power of the Tokugawa shogunate is still very strong, and your father Gomizuoin and your brother, the current emperor, will most likely support the Tokugawa shogunate, and the commander of the shogunate's Banfang army, Hosuka Masayuki

Matsudaira Nobutsuna has been leading troops in North Korea for many years and has rich experience. After Iemitsu passed away from illness, he will definitely take strict precautions. It is almost impossible to rely on a surprise attack to win a quick victory.

Therefore, we must be prepared to fight for several years! We must borrow enough military expenses to be safe!"

"Your Majesty," the Emperor of Xingwuyuan looked at his husband with a mournful face, "How much more money do we need to borrow this time?"

Zhu Cijiong thought for a while and said: "Let's borrow 10 million taels first. If it's not enough, we can borrow it later!"

The emperor of Xingwuyuan bit his lip, "If we have to borrow another 10 million, do we still have to borrow it?"

"It should be difficult to repay it!" Zhu Cijiong shook his head and said, "We have owed a huge debt of more than 12 million taels over the years. Adding the current 10 million, that is more than 22 million, and the interest alone every year

You have to pay 3 million taels!”

"Nani?" The emperor of Xingwuyuan was heartbroken after hearing what his husband said, "I owe so much, what should I do?"

"What should we do?" Zhu Cijiong looked indifferent, "This is not a problem we need to consider, this is my brother's problem! Xingzi, please prepare quickly and set off immediately. You must borrow the money as soon as possible."

At this time, the emperor of Xingwuyuan was speechless. Is Zhu Cijiong speaking human language? The debtor does not consider repaying the debt, but asks the creditor who lends money to consider this issue. Doesn't this make it clear that he is going to be a deadbeat? This creditor is still willing

Money lending? Is the creditor a fool?

"How can His Majesty the Emperor's nephew be willing to borrow the money?" The Emperor of the Xingwuyuan shook his head, "Even if I go out personally, there is no way I can borrow the money!"

"How is it possible that I can't borrow it?" Zhu Cijiong snorted, "He is my eldest brother, why don't I know who he is? His destiny is to have more gold in the five elements. He is born to know where to make money, although I don't know how to pay it back.

More than 20 million yuan in debt, but he must know!

So lending me money must be a rare opportunity to make a fortune in his eyes."

Xingwuyuan sighed. She must not only listen to her husband's words, but also believe them to the point of superstition! Since what Zhu Cijiong said, of course she had to obey him.

The emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll leave for Shanghai right now!"

Zhu Cijiong said: "Don't make it public, just go to Shanghai secretly. There happens to be a battleship of the Ming Dynasty's Oriental Fleet at Busanpo Pier. You can take this battleship to Shanghai!"

"Hai!" Emperor Xingwuyuan nodded, and immediately went to pack up his gifts and embark on a journey to borrow money.

At the same time that Emperor Kobuin set off to Shanghai to borrow money, Tokugawa Iemitsu in Edo Castle was already on his deathbed and was already making arrangements for his funeral.

"After my death, I must keep the funeral secret and do not hold a funeral within three years. I will call myself a monk and live in seclusion to the outside world. At the same time, I will arrange for a Kagemusha to pretend to be me and live in Edo Castle."

Tokugawa Iemitsu is also playing the trick of pretending to be alive. He can't do it if he doesn't pretend! If he doesn't pretend, the emperor of Kobuin will come to kill him immediately, and Tokugawa Ietsuna hasn't "enlightened" yet. Maybe if he grows up a little, he will

Be able to be sensible.

After finishing talking about the pretense, Iemitsu glanced at several assistant ministers in the room. There were the elder Tadakatsu Sakai, the elder Nobutsuna Matsudaira, Masayuki Hoshina, Tadaki Abe, and the deputy general Tokugawa Yorifu.

There are three Tokugawa surnames: Tokugawa Yorinobu, the lord of the Kishu lord, and Tokugawa Mitsuki, the lord of the Owari lord. They all look so wise, and they are smart kings at first glance, and they are also in good health, especially the two brothers Yorifusa and Yorinobu are here in Japan.

They are all tough men! If one of them is allowed to take the throne as a general, the Tokugawa world will surely be as secure as a rock, right?

Unfortunately, this idea flashed through Jiaguang's mind and was rejected by him.

He took a breath, and then said: "Your Highness Jishu!"

"Hai!" Tokugawa Yorinobu responded.

"After my death, you immediately lead the Kishu Banfang to settle in Osaka Castle!" Tokugawa Iemitsu said, "We must guard the seaport of Osaka. No matter what, we cannot allow Kobuin to lead troops to land from Osaka!"

"Hai," Tokugawa Yorinobu said, "if Kobuin dares to land from Osaka, it will be my second fourteenth year!"

Tokugawa Yorinobu's first fourteenth year coincided with the Osaka Summer Battle, which was Yorinobu's first battle and the only battle so far. However, at that time, he only followed his father Tokugawa Ieyasu to watch the battle.

I got the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so I regretted it for many years. I often said to people, "I wish I had a second chance at the age of fourteen." Now it seems that I can get my wish.

"Okay!" Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded, "Then Osaka has nothing to worry about." He then looked at his contemporary Tokugawa Mitsuki, "Your Highness Owari!"

"Hai!" Although Tokugawa Mitsuyoshi didn't even have the "first chance to be fourteen years old", he had been preparing for war all his life. During the Korean War, he repeatedly requested to go out. However, Tokugawa Iemitsu

He wanted to promote his brother Masayuki Hoshina, so he did not let Mitsuyoshi, who was one of the three royal families, go into battle. However, he ordered Yorinobu, Mitsuyoshi, and Yorifu to form their own Fanfang Army, which was the new army.

"Immediately lead the Owari Banfang army to Nagoya and take charge of Kyushu affairs!" Tokugawa Iemitsu said, "The shogunate navy has also been entrusted to you to command. No matter what, you must defend Nagoya, Hirado, and Nagasaki.

Along with Hakata, we also need to monitor the Shimadzu and Mori families!"

"Hai!" Guangyi nodded heavily, "As for Kyushu, please leave it to me!"

"Your Highness Mito," Iemitsu approached Tokugawa Yorifu again, "You lead the Mito army to station in Nijo Castle and Fushimi Castle. If Gomizuoin and Imakami dare to disobey, don't hesitate and kill them immediately!"

"

"Hai!" Tokugawa Yorifou responded loudly, "In order to protect the Tokugawa family and the world, I will not hesitate to turn into a devil!"

"Okay! We must have such determination!" Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded with satisfaction.

The fact that he was shouting about killing was actually to scare Gosuiwein and his son, not to actually kill them. Because he knew that Gosuiwein and his son were actually very cowardly, and if the shogunate wanted to start a killing spree, they must be better behaved than rabbits.

Besides, Emperor Kobuin was seizing power for himself and would not hand over power to the two of them. Under the threat of death, of course they sided with the Tokugawa family.

"Your Highness Aizu," Tokugawa Iemitsu said to his younger brother, "immediately lead 10,000 shogunate troops to Echigo and garrison 2,000 troops on Sado Island. In addition, your Aizu Banfang army must also be on guard.

Always ready to attack!"

"Hai!" Masayuki Hoshina replied loudly, "I will protect the land of Hokuriku and Northeast China!"

After arranging these things, Tokugawa Iemitsu breathed a sigh of relief. The energy he had kept up suddenly disappeared. His whole body felt bad. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, his breathing became lighter and lighter, and he soon fell into a coma.
