Zhao Quan and Hu Shihai left, and their father-in-law called Zheng Duo.
"You keep in mind all our money. We don't count how much we spend. If you don't ask, just tell us how much money we have left now?" My father-in-law said in a short story. He was going to take stock of his belongings.
The reason for counting the property is that a squatted gold beast is waiting for her father-in-law next.
However, this squatting and swallowing beast was a must-built by my father-in-law, and he could not cut corners at all, and he should be supplied with the maximum supplies.
This gold-swalking beast is an expansion of the armed forces.
In May, according to the usual plan of his father-in-law and Siming Gong Shen, the Emperor's Army of the Ming Dynasty went south to Penghu and jointly attacked the Eastern Banner with Zhejiang and Fujian military forces.
The main purpose of the crusade was to conquer the indigenous peoples on the Dongfan Island, repel or eliminate possible Western countries and Japanese forces, and establish at least two military bases in the Dongfan, stationed together with water, land and horses, so that the north and south waters could be isolated and taxed from the sea and ships with powerful military power.
At the same time, the Eastern Ban will also become a stronghold and transit station for the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants. If possible, the Fujian localities will also write a letter to the court, changing the land to the East Ban and moving the Han people from the mainland to the island to reproduce, so that the Eastern Ban can completely become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
After occupying the Eastern Federation, the troops were sent to Ryukyu, and the nature of the troops was exactly the same as those of the occupation of the Eastern Federation.
The core of the plan is actually to collect money while sitting on the ground.
The fundamental reason why this plan was supported and agreed by Chen Yiguan and Wanli was that Eunuch Wei painted the importance of Eastern Trade and the beautiful scene of collecting money on the spot.
For the Fujian-Zhehai Maritime Group represented by Yu Chen Yiguan, achieving an Eastern Conference is of great benefit to their profit growth, and it also shows a geometric increase in the expansion of maritime trade.
Therefore, even if eunuch Wei suddenly came out and had a conflict of interest with them, if eunuch Wei could persuade the emperor to approve the expansion of the southeast so that their interest could not be damaged and they could increase, they could swallow their anger.
After all, those who do business will never be unable to get along with money, and it is still agreed by Siming’s husband.
For Wanli, no matter how he expands the sea in the southeast, or how much manpower and material resources he has to use, he only knows that he can collect money while sitting on the ground, and the silver flowing to the inner treasury is the best thing in the world.
For this reason, he could silently support him, or even be promoted to the fake eunuch as the guard of Jiangnan, but if the emperor could not see what he wanted after the expiration, he would never be able to settle the score in the autumn.
Eunuch Wei is not able to run away even if he wants to. Dad and brother are all in their hometown. There are three friends in the capital and a son who recognizes others as his father.
If you can't run, your father-in-law must fire this first step, or the first shot.
Then, the expansion of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army is imperative.
The current army has only about 3,000-scale size of the Sixth Battalion. The army is domineering around the country, and it is possible to force Governor Ying Tian to scold him but not move, but it is definitely not enough to deal with the upcoming Eastern Expedition.
You should know that no matter how bad the natives in the East are, they are still at the level of hundreds of thousands. Not to mention the possible Western countries and Japanese forces, so the size of more than 3,000 troops is completely unable to deal with this war.
After all the calculations, my father-in-law added the strength of the navy, and the result was that at least one division-organized army was needed to take Taiwan down sloppyly.
The army forces that were established as the division commander of the Ming Dynasty after the expansion was not the bad taste of the father-in-law, but the result of careful consideration.
My father-in-law hopes that one day, he can lead the joint fleet to knock on the gate of the Edo Shogunate. After landing, the elite army division sets open the way with sharp bayonets to show the power of the Ming soldiers to the Japanese capital and people!
To expand the division, in addition to recruiting troops, the most important thing is money and food.
When you become a soldier, you have to pay for the officers and soldiers. The money you set by your father-in-law to the officers and soldiers is higher than the nine sides of the same period. In addition to food, clothing, housing, weapons and equipment, the annual expenses of a officer and soldier are about thirty taels.
If calculated based on the A-level division of three brigades, the full amount of the entire staff is at least 27,000. This means that just maintaining the army power of one division alone, the father-in-law will have to invest nearly one million taels of money in a year.
What if it is not a gold-swallowing beast?
The current tax revenue of the court is only more than four million yuan a year.
But even if you swallow the money, your father-in-law has to do it. Only by doing it can you have a bright future.
………….
Because he followed his father-in-law when he was defeated and was loyal, although Zheng Duo is now a senior general who is in the Ming Dynasty imperial army, he is more of his general account of Eunuch Wei.
From silver notes to copper coins, every amount of money my father-in-law has recovered in the past year was kept by Zheng Duo. The warehouse was the silver treasury of the former Wusong Shui Camp, which was specially guarded by hundreds of soldiers.
Speaking of which, Zheng Duo is also suffering. Although he is half a Confucian scholar, after he came out of North Korea, he has been a career as a bandit who has killed people and robbed people and kidnapped people and kidnapped people and kidnapped people and kidnapped people and kidnapped people. He has suddenly gone from a strong man who licked blood at the edge of a knife to a big manager who manages accounting and money. That is really awkward.
If it weren't for the fact that my father-in-law was trusting him, Zheng Duo wouldn't want to get involved.
Eunuch Wei also knew that Zheng Duo was unwilling to be the housekeeper, so he wrote to Jiang Fangyin, who was laid off with a cheap teacher, and hired this professional staff member to handle these affairs for him.
Zheng Duo still wants to charge forward for him, Eunuch Wei, to conquer the world.
Although he was a little surprised why his father-in-law wanted to make some money, Zheng Duo did not hesitate and immediately went to the warehouse to get the account book and reported the accounts one by one.
The more than 200,000 taels obtained by his father-in-law Chen Zeng, the Shandong mining supervisor, had already been spent. The major investment was mainly "borrows" from Yangzhou salt merchants, about 420,000 taels, 100,000 taels presented by the prefect of Zhenjiang, 340,000 taels for the gentry and merchants in the city "debt money to apologize", and more than 100,000 taels obtained by confiscating "blackbills" from Taizhou, Gaoyou and other places, and more than 60,000 taels "robbed" from the Zhongzuo Institute of Dinghaiwei, Zhoushan. Together, the total income last year was not low, which was as much as 1.2 million taels.
But this is the income on the books, but it actually does not.
Because the expenses were too large, the Royal Navy and the Army alone spent more than 400,000 taels last year, but that amount of money was less than fifty taels per officer and soldier.
Of course, the reason why I used so much in the army was mainly because my father-in-law threw silver on the officers and soldiers with big money in order to seize power and win over the hearts of the people.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to use less than 200,000 taels.
The Wusong River Camp pays only more than 180,000 taels of money and grain from the Governor Yingtian every year, which includes the result of a waste of salary.
The Guangdong Navy, who went to fight against Japanese and aided Korea, had military expenditures of nearly 2 million taels. It can be seen that in the eyes of officials, the Ming officers and soldiers who had no war were better than beggars. They could prevent them from starving to death, but the officials were concerned about the court.
Proud and iron-hearted
