Chapter 312 Hearts are the same as black

Like the last time the resumption of Taiwan, the Japanese army officially began its siege against Japan during the farewell of the people in Nanjing...

The real battle will take several months.

According to the plan, they had to set sail from Busan, so they had to make some preparations next, and then wait until the beginning of spring to attack Shigashiguchi directly across the sea. However, they did not enter the Guanmen Strait, and did not attack the various vassals of Kyushu Island. On the contrary, they had to win over the various vassals of Kyushu Island. Once the war started, the Tokugawa family would definitely ban Nagasaki's trade, so they would incite people like the Satsuma vassal to smuggle. The Ming merchant ships that were originally sailing to Nagasaki could go directly to Kagoshima.

Zheng Chenggong will handle this.

The Zheng family and the various vassals of Kyushu Island are basically more or less hooked up.

The fleet headed north directly.

Go north along the west coast of Honshu Island, land and attack Ishimi in depth. You must kill people everywhere and set fire to grab things, and it is best to threaten the silver mine. At this time, Ishimi was directly under the Tokugawa family, which is the so-called Tianling, mainly to control Ishimi Yinshan, and in short, it was to learn from the Japanese pirates back then.

But only attacked Tokugawa's family.

That is, the Tokugawa clan proprietor Daming and the Sudai Daming territory. The former is the Tokugawa clan's consent of the old turtle. They and the directly affiliated Tianling formed the ruling basis of the Tokugawa shogunate. However, there is no need to attack the Tokugawa shogunate who is purely dependent. They will only be happy if the Tokugawa clan is unlucky and eventually attack Niigata. Then they directly occupy Sado Island and use Sado Island as the base to attack Niigata and other places. This area is actually the core control area of ​​the Tokugawa clan. Most of the Tokugawa shogunate's proprietor Daming and the Tokugawa shogunate are concentrated in the middle section of Honshu Island from the Node Peninsula to the Niigata area east of the Niigata area. Carrying a clean attack on this area is equivalent to hollowing out the ruling basis of the Tokugawa clan.

When the Tokugawa family surrendered, the Ming army stopped attacking.

Otherwise, the attack will continue.

Anyway, Japan does not have a navy that can fight the Beiyang Navy. For the Beiyang Navy, the biggest constraint on this is logistics. Fortunately, the transport ships sailing from Busan are pushed by warm currents, and the warm current of Torma separated from the Kuroshima is close to the west coast of Japan, to Hokkaido and even to the Tatar Strait.

All whaling ships take this route.

Then they will tangent to the Heilongjiang estuary in the Tatar Strait, and then continue to move southward along the monsoon and coastal currents.

This way, the transportation of materials will be easy.

At least one brigade of Marines and a squadron were stationed in Sado Island, and the main force of the Beiyang Navy continued to operate on the route between Busan and Sado Island, in order to force the Tokugawa shogunate to pay compensation or even cede land to open ports or build concessions. Yang Qing did plan to rob Sado Island of gold ore or even raise shares before, but most of these shares became North and South Nioyang Company. Now he is not very interested in this primary aggression method, after all, taking over the gold ore will bring a series of subsequent development problems.

What if the Tokugawa shogunate was allowed to make gold?

They found gold, and the Ming fleet went to find fault and beat them up and forced them to pay compensation, and then the gold returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Taking Sado Island first and then returning it to the Tokugawa shogunate can give the Tokugawa family hope. Then, due to the previous losses, they will continue to work hard to make up for the compensation losses. After they are almost done, the Ming army will come to harvest another place. At the same time, they support the powerful vassals of Japan, but they cannot allow them to overthrow the Tokugawa shogunate. On the contrary, they will also help the Tokugawa shogunate to continue to maintain their rule. Just like in history, the great powers still supported the rule of the Tartar Qing Dynasty even after the Eight-Nation Alliance, this way, the Tokugawa shogunate can be more convenient to exploit Japan. This land is actually not very valuable as a colony, but it is still very useful as a semi-colonial and semi-feudal puppet, such as for the Japanese slave trade.

By the way, you can also train the navy and the black-hearted businessmen of the Ming Dynasty.

But we must not let the emperor turn over.

It is necessary to ensure the Japanese shogunate system, and it is best to let them have another Warring States heroes...

Although their heroes are 1.4 meters tall.

In short, the Japanese people began to enter the semi-colonial and semi-feudal era in their ignorance. The fleet that set sailed from Nanjing, took a malice from the soul three hundred and eighty years later to sow nightmare on this ancient archipelago.

Half a month later, the imperial edict arrived in Nanjing.

Zhu Ciyang surrendered.

"Xin Gong, what should we do next?"

Zhang Guowei said with a smile.

He means you should fulfill your promise.

"The Qin King's special government bonds for the Western Expedition were ten years, with an annual interest of half a cent. The principal and interest were paid off in ten years, and a total of 10 million yuan was issued."

Yang Qing said very simply.

"Ten thousand isn't enough?"

Zhang Guowei said.

Li Zicheng originally wanted 15 million stones of grain, but the current price has always been maintained at one tael of silver or one dollar per stone, and it has not dropped after the autumn harvest. The main reason is that, on the one hand, there are more people who have been stockpiled and waiting for the price increase this year, and the second is that the disaster in Shandong has not been relieved at all, and the imperial court still has to purchase grain for disaster relief in various places. The food in the area controlled by the Ming Dynasty was slightly surplus, but there were many people who were poor and could not eat, and the army's food consumption was also different. In the past, who cares whether soldiers were full, but now soldiers have to eat full, and those who rely on work to make money must also eat full, even if ordinary people have a good life.

Then the food is not very abundant.

After all, people in poverty eat differently than in normal states.

This is thanks to Yang Qing banning alcohol.

Otherwise, rich people in Jiangnan would have to drink millions of stones of rice every year.

Now they are forced to drink sweet potatoes and burn them.

Even if Yang Qing ensured that the price of grain was suppressed, Li Zicheng would only accept a discount of one stone, one tael, so he would still have to pay 15 million, which is the minimum amount that Li Zicheng could accept. What he wanted was to exchange 15 million stones of grain here in exchange for it, but now he would buy it in batches after the discount. As a result, he would bear the transportation cost, even if the price of grain fell in a few years, it would be at most possible to make up for this.

So Li Zicheng would not accept it even if he was inferior.

In other words, there is a gap of five million besides the government bonds. The donation campaign called for previously has received a total of barely one million so far.

There is still a gap of four million.

"Dongyang Gong, please ask God to bless this ten million national debt to be sold!"

Yang Qing said.

Zhang Guowei smiled awkwardly.

Indeed, it is still unknown whether this ten million can be sold! First of all, the Ming Dynasty treasury system is actually Yang Qing’s personal reputation guarantee. Although he is unwilling to admit it, he also knows that this is the fact, but this fact is a bit embarrassing. So far, the Ming Dynasty’s Ministry of Revenue has authorized the Imperial Bank to issue 5 million treasury bonds. The reason why it was sold smoothly is largely because everyone knows that Yang Qing is a master of economics. He brought economic prosperity to the Ming Dynasty, and economic prosperity means that the court’s finances are guaranteed, so there is no need to worry that the money will not be paid back. Yang Qing’s personal reputation is also a golden sign.

But what if Emperor Long Xing returns and falls into the internal strife and recovers from the past?

What if the next year is restored to be 500?

As for the terrible bad behavior of the Ministry of Revenue during the Chongzhen period, it would be a terrible thing that the treasury debt could be recovered!

This investment is very risky!

Even if Emperor Longxing comes back, he will not pay it back one day, and it is possible that he simply refuses to admit his debts. If he really wants to take Yang Qing, he will simply turn the blame on Yang Qing. This is what Yang Ni cheated you into your own pockets when he was in charge of the government. The emperor doesn’t know what you want to ask him for! Why should I pay back the money Yang Qing borrowed? Whoever you want to ask for? The Ministry of Revenue and Minister of Revenue Gao Hongtu is a rebel party, and someone comes to search the rebel party’s house together.

"Dongyang Duke, 10 million taels is the limit I can get. I really can't do it any more!"

Yang Qing said sincerely.

"King Xin, but this will eventually be solved!"

Zhang Guowei also said sincerely.

"There is no way. First, when the conquest of Japan is over, you will ask the Japanese to pay 5 million taels of compensation to make up for it."

Yang Qing said.

"When will it take!"

Zhang Guowei said dissatisfiedly.

What's more, it's hard to say whether they can knock out such a huge sum of money! Then Japan is not a soft persimmon. It took a full seven years to drive them out of North Korea.

"Then I can only search the house!"

Yang Qing said very simply.

"Where is there anything you can copy? Who else hasn't copied by you?"

Zhang Guowei said angrily.

"Uh, think of a solution, there will always be something. Anyway, I have no choice but to sell the government bonds. The limit of selling is 10 million. No matter how much I have, I don't even have to think about it. I can't even guarantee 10 million. Others who can quickly obtain silver either raid their houses or go out to grab them. With these two methods, the rest I can still think of is to gather the Nanyang Navy to raid Guangzhou to copy Gui Ni and Guangzhou gentry, and I guess it can also be scoopped out five million!"

Yang Qing said.

"That's too risky!"

Zhang Guowei said without hesitation.

"Or why don't we copy the temple property? Hasn't your Jinyiwei Education and Management Department completed the supervision of temples in various places? Although their land has been cleaned up, there is still some silver in the cellars of those temples? Why don't we copy it?"

He also showed his dark side.

"This requires cooperation between officials from all over the country and gentry!"

Yang Qing said.

"Please rest assured by the King of Trustees. Welcome to the Lord is a top priority. Both the government and the people of the Ming Dynasty should work together. Monks are also people of the Ming Dynasty. They should also have money to contribute money and strength. Local officials and gentry are well aware of the righteousness and must cooperate with the Ministry of Education and Management."

Zhang Guowei said righteously.

Anyway, there must be someone who makes sacrifices. Since the gentry cannot make this sacrifice, we can only aggrieved the masters. There are so many temples in the Ming Dynasty, and no one can hide tens of thousands or thousands of taels of silver underground. Before, the Jinyiwei was alone, and at most they could check the land. Most of these things were not produced by them. However, it would be different if local officials and gentry cooperated. Local gentry who knew their background should lead the way, local officials led the yamen runners, and Jinyiwei led the militia in the temple, and the rest were to dig three feet one by one!

If you can't dig it out, you have to use some means!
Chapter completed!
