Chapter five hundred and twentieth public opinion supports foreign troops

"yes!"

Zhu Xieyuan was quite shocked by this and said to himself: "It's really new. It's really something that has not happened in previous dynasties. One day, whether the court wants to launch foreign troops will be decided by the people of the world."

Even Liu Hongxun, a minister who does not agree with external expansion and advocates internal reform, thinks this is quite interesting:

"Let the people of the world decide whether the court should continue to raise troops from abroad, and send troops to the Indian Peninsula in addition to the Western Expedition to the Western Regions! What I never thought would happen!"

Bi Ziyan was very confident about this and said: "In the opinion of the minister, as long as the people have foresight, they will probably actively buy bonds for India's military service, because the value of the plains of the Indian Peninsula is obvious to all. The people of our country do not like land, especially those with fertile land. In addition, the time is ripe. The Bangladesh area has been occupied by our Ming Dynasty. The Ming World Development Company has set up many estates that are both farmers and soldiers here. In addition, our Ming Dynasty's military base in Goa has also expanded a lot. It can be said that as long as the people are willing to pay, it is no problem to take down the plains of India."

Zhu Youxiao said, "Since that's the case, then the ministers will go and handle this matter immediately."

"Abide by the order!"

Bi Ziyan replied.

...

"The bond issuance of the Mughal Empire? The Mughal Empire stole the land of our Ming Dynasty - the Indian Peninsula? There are so many fertile land on the plains on the Indian Peninsula? As long as those who buy bonds can earn the principal and interest paid by the court after regaining these fertile lands and selling them? This is interesting, and has never been heard of!"

After seeing the content of the "Huangming Pao", scholar Zhang Dai couldn't help but smile and talked to his friends.

"It's true that I've never heard of it, but I didn't expect that there would be so many fertile fields on this Indian Peninsula, and how can the fertile fields be cultivated three times a year?"

His friend Zhao Jiechen started talking about this.

Another scholar Yan Xubo said, "It's true. The new version of "Kunyu Wanguo Map" released now marks the Indian Peninsula. I also heard that the merchants who have been to Dhaka in the sea said that there are indeed many plains in that area and lots of fertile land. Moreover, because the weather is much hot, it is indeed no problem to ripen three times a year. I want to buy this bond. After all, it is not convenient to buy a thousand acres of fertile land there directly, but it is okay to buy the bonds and earn some interest after the imperial court conquers the Indian Peninsula."

"The question is, can I fight?"

Zhao Jiechen continued to ask.

"How could it not be defeated? Not to mention that the next troops sent to India were the Emperor's Army, it was said that now, I heard that the army formed by Shaanxi refugees hired by the Ming World Development Company had defeated the natives there and destroyed many countries. One of them was named Zhang Xianzhong. He relied on his four powerful adopted sons and expanded his territory countless times and became the largest manor under the company. If it weren't for the fact that he needed the company to provide weapons, he would still want to return to his roots in the future, and he would probably be the emperor in a foreign country."

Zhang Dai said at this time and said, "But now, in order to prevent the company from eroding, the Mughal Empire has transferred many troops to fight against it. Although Zhang Xianzhong and others are powerful, they are not well-trained people and are fighting on their own. Now it is difficult to make progress and can only maintain a stalemate with the Mughal Empire. If my Ming Imperial Army goes, it will be more than enough to directly destroy the country."

Therefore, Zhang Dai said, "Anyway, I want to buy this bond, and I have to buy more! I have to buy all my family property!"

"I won't buy it! The court just used its profits to encourage the people to support the expansion of the outside world. It was obvious that the current emperor was very happy to be successful, but Bi Ziyan and others came up with such a vicious plan to charm the emperor!"

"Bi Ziyan Guan will do some money law policy, and now doing this is also a clear proof. He treats India's fertile land as an expensive item that can be sold for money. However, he said he would borrow money from the people of the world to send troops, snatch the item and sell it, and then repay the sold money as principal and interest to the people who borrowed money to him. But in essence it is still a robbery! It is not in the kingly way!"

The scholar Xiao Yuwei opposed buying the bond.

"Why care about these things? The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. If you don't buy it, don't be jealous of others if you make money."

Zhang Dai said.

"I, Xiao Yuwei, even if I am poor and starved, will not disobey justice in my heart! Go and make this unparalleled money!"

Xiao Yuwei replied.

Zhang Dai could only shake his head at this.

But as Zhang Dai said, many people are very clear about the benefits of this.

After all, the Indian Peninsula is not just land, it must have other wealth, and the imperial court cannot repay the benefits of bonds.

Therefore, there are many people who come to buy bonds.

Zhu Yousong even rushed back from Nagasaki and took out a huge amount of millions of silver coins to buy it.

Not long after, the bonds issued by the imperial court were sold out.

The military expenditure for sending troops to the Indian Peninsula was quickly raised.

However, the resistance the court encountered when launching troops on the Indian Peninsula is not that it has weak force, insufficient military spending, or insufficient civilian motivation. It is that many defenders in the court are considered Confucian believers to oppose the court's expansion to the outside world because of interests.

"Yuan Fu! Why don't you advise Your Majesty to block this injustice? How can those who rule the country ignore the king's way for profit? Opening up a land without a border in the northwest can be said to avoid the trouble of the Tartars. The Western Expedition can be said to be to regain the former territory of the Ming Dynasty and restore the foundation of their ancestors. The Indian Peninsula was just because it had plains and vast fertile land, and it was a bold denial of the existence of its country! And if it wanted to destroy its country, is this still the dynasty of the saints?!"

Pavilion ministers Li Changgeng and others questioned Bi Ziyan for this reason.

Bi Ziyan said only: "I am not a king of servants, but only to glorify China, so that the lands shining by the sun and the moon are all Han lands. The sounds spoken by people on any part of the earth are all Han Chinese. As for whether it is the right path, it is not worth fearing!"

"Those who only heard that the emperor wanted to unify the world, but never heard that the assistant ministers had such ambition!"

Li Changgeng sneered and replied.

Bi Ziyan replied: "Now the Ming Dynasty, not only the emperors and ministers have such ambitions. All the whole country, except for a few people who are not enterprising, all officials and people have such ambitions! The people's support for the Western Expedition and the support for the Indian Peninsula is a clear proof that whether the court raises troops on the Indian Peninsula this time depends on public opinion. Only when the people are willing to pay money will the court send troops. If you really want to dissuade this matter, please dissuade all the people."

"you!"

Li Changgeng was quite angry and said, "I only heard that some people suppress their ministers with their monarchs, but I have never heard of some people suppressing their ministers with their public opinion. Yuan Fu, your words now are really unexpected!"

"The long-lived person of Mr. Li will see more unexpected things in the future. Do you believe that there will be people from other countries beg me to conquer his king in the Ming Dynasty?"

Bi Ziyan replied.

"This is already happening. There are many scholars from North Korea and Japan asking the Ming Dynasty to rule them!"

Wen Tiren walked out and said, "Your Majesty asked Lifan Temple to invest in bribing these scholars from foreign countries, which has already been effective."
