Chapter 550 Court discussion

Since he already knew who the person behind this scene was, Jiang Lang did not intend to pull him out now, and those people were also locked in a cell, and did not intend to move them, because Jiang Lang's main experiences now hit the matter of promoting the vigorous development of the navy in the court. Perhaps Emperor Jingtai did not know how important this navy was, but for Jiang Lang from the future society, a world that emphasized territorial waters and airspace, it was very clear how important this maritime strength was.

However, the court people didn't know that they only knew how a pity it was to spend all 800,000 taels of silver on the navy. However, of course, there were people who agreed with it very much, but most of them were military officers, while most of them were civil servants. Because of this, the disputes in the court were getting worse and worse, but there was no solution.

Time has also been deadlocked.

In no way, Emperor Jingtai asked Jiang Lang to attend the morning court.

As usual, Jiang Lang stood in the queue of ministers below, first quietly listening to the quarrel between the two sides, but did not speak.

Finally, feeling that both sides were tired, Emperor Jingtai waved his hand and stopped the two pairs of people who were arguing. He looked at Jianglang and asked, "Wang Aiqing, this is your proposal. I don't know what you have. Why not tell me it to you all!"

"Yes, the emperor!"

Jiang Lang immediately said, then stood up, looked at the civil servants, and said, "I want to ask you a question now. If there are foreign enemies attacking our capital, what is the fastest way? Well, just simpler, give an example, for example, the Komu Army!"

The ministers were stunned. Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but frowned and said, "Wang Aiqing, is this problem a little... a little inappropriate?"

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "It's not inappropriate. A few years ago, I think you are doing today who thinks that Wasai is our friendly neighbors. They are afraid of us because we are strong and strong. But in the past, these friendly neighbors have hit our capital. I wonder if the one who killed Wasai at that time was his eloquence, or who imitated Su Qin to persuade Wasai to withdraw his troops?"

Of course the answer is not. When the Wasat army was at the city, it was entirely up to Yu Qian to lead the army and the people in the capital to resist, and then defeated Yesen. As for the civil servants, they hid at home and prayed to God.

"Everyone knows this, it all depends on Yu Aiqing, and then he beat the thorns away!"

Emperor Jingtai said.

After Jiang Lang bowed to Emperor Jingtai, he asked again: "The second question is that we are now riding on the civil strife of the tibs, not only to accommodate the people of the tibs, but also to expand towards the tibs. Is it the same result of the lobbying of the adults present? Of course not. I think even if you say that the ceiling is full of splendor, no one will agree to give up their land, but now the tibs dare to be angry at us but dare not speak out. Why? I think everyone knows it!"

"The third point is that the Komu Army invaded Gao Qiang, Gao Qiang asked us to help them, and we asked for their land. Although it was a small fishing village at the beginning, it has now become a military base where 100,000 troops can be stationed there. We can control the sea surface from outside. This is like a nail nailed to Gao Qiang's heart, which makes them dare not tell our meaning. Why is this?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Lang looked at the civil servants, and these civil servants looked at me and I looked at you. They all knew, but no one would say that because once they said this, the reason would not be on their side."

"My country is a country of etiquette..."

A minister spoke at this time.

"When the Wats invaded us, I didn't see them at all because we were a country of etiquette, and they gave up the attack. I didn't see the literati so bold that they could say that we were a country of etiquette in front of Yesian, so don't hit us or something, because this is completely stupid. Don't say Yesian, and don't say it was a country of etiquette. Even if I heard it, I laughed. I would only give four words of evaluation, stupidity, and pedantic!"

Jiang Lang retorted without hesitation that it was these great countries that claim to be us, and we are people of etiquette. They used the etiquette from thousands of years ago to manage the current country, but the more they managed, the more they became, the more backward they were.

When the minister was robbed, his face suddenly turned blue and white, and he said, "Mr. Wang, what you said...!"

"Okay, I think you're right!"

Jiang Lang suddenly agreed.

The ministers were stunned. Why did they suddenly change their temper?

But before he had finished his doubts, Jiang Lang said to Emperor Jingtai again: "Emperor, the next goal in the mind of the empress is to get close to the countries in Yunnan. I wonder if this is to let this beating man alone and let him use our etiquette to convince these countries to honestly offer their country. What if it is true? If this is true, then I admit that what he said is right and I am wrong, then the subsequent thorns and so on will be allowed to go."

Emperor Jingtai laughed and said, "Isn't this a joke? If it's really so easy, wouldn't it be our Ming Dynasty?"

The minister immediately shut his mouth. He didn't have the ability or the courage.

The other ministers were quiet too.

Looking at these ministers, Jiang Lang couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Although these people were indeed worried about the country and the people, for the sake of the country, they did not expect that if the country was stable, a powerful army must be guarded. After a silence, Jiang Lang said: "This time we defeated the Koumu Army, forced them to negotiate, and paid us money. One big reason is that we are stronger than them, and our navy is stronger than them, so they can only give money to buy their own peace. To be stable in the country, the army is essential!"

"Actually, we have no intention of opposing increasing military strength. We mean that we spend all 800,000 taels on the navy. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

A minister carefully put forward his own opinions.

"Okay, let's go back to the first question. If someone wants to attack our capital, what's the fastest?"

Jiang Lang talked about this matter again and turned his head to look at the ministers. The ministers said nothing. This issue was somewhat similar to a taboo, and no one was willing to joke about this.

Jiang Lang also knew this, but if he didn't know his weakness, how could he find a way to make up for it? So he said, "Then I tell you, that is, as long as there are enough transport ships and warships, you can only see one night, and then you can land in Tianjin. Then you can arrive in the capital in a day and a night. If these people are equipped with artillery and rifles like us, I would like to ask, how long can we last? When facing the attack of one hundred thousand people, can we persevere until the arrival of reinforcements?"

This immediately stopped everyone else. No one dared to guarantee that they knew the power of the cannon.

"Wang Aiqing, are you too terrifying?"

Emperor Jingtai smiled.

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "Master, this is definitely not terrifying. This time we attacked the Komu Army. Under the cover of artillery fire, we only landed more than 1,000 people, and the Komu Army was wiped out as many as 4,000 people. This fully proves that in the strong city walls, there are times when they are broken. I only hope that what happens to others should not appear on our heads. It will be too late to cede land and pay compensation."

Hundreds of years later, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China and landed at Dagukou, Tianjin, with far less than 100,000 soldiers. At that time, the backward Qing Dynasty could not stop others' muskets and cannons, and the current Ming Dynasty's military strength was completely advanced than that at that time.

Emperor Jingtai was slightly silent and said, "What does Wang Aiqing mean?"

"Reject the enemy from abroad!"

Jiang Lang said these five words firmly, and then added: "Building a powerful navy can be used to resist countries that are ill-treated against us, and it is also a deterrent. Similarly, if the emperor wants to open a rift for the Ming Dynasty, the navy will not be able to go. With the navy, we can transport our soldiers to any place along the coast of other countries, land in the places they least think are possible, and then cut off their rear supplies."

Emperor Jingtai nodded slightly, then looked at the other ministers and asked, "What do you mean by your dear friends?"

"Mr. Wang is right, my Ming Dynasty must build a powerful navy!"

The first thing that was agreed was the military officer. Someone took the lead and they all agreed immediately. Because of the navy and the Ming Dynasty's long-lost sense of victory, the hearts of those present again.

Civil servants look at me, I look at you, and then someone said, "I have no objection!"

"I have no objection!"

With an undisputed answer, the court finally passed the strengthening of the navy.
Chapter completed!
