Upon hearing this, the ministers began to discuss in low voices again.
"With the war, food consumption has increased sharply, which is indeed a problem."
"No, there is also a shortage of food over there in the Loop, and I have a headache."
"There are also the Han people in Liaodong who retreated to Ming Dynasty last time.
They opened their mouths and asked for food.
This part was unplanned." "" Among those discussing, only the eunuchs who were in charge of rituals were silent, and no one spoke.
It's just that those eunuchs with pens would secretly glance at Cao Huachun, the eunuch with palm prints, to observe his face.
Emperor Chongzhen listened to the discussion below and understood that this was indeed a difficult problem.
He suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask: "Do you have any reply from any country in Southeast Asia?"
Hearing this, Wen Tiren knew that the emperor was asking about food tribute from various countries in Southeast Asia.
As the first assistant, he went out to report: "Your Majesty, I have not received any reply."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be angry, he quickly added: "Your Majesty, the journey to Nanyang is far away.
Maybe my envoy from the Ming Dynasty has not yet arrived.
It may not be that the countries in Nanyang do not want to pay tribute."
Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly when he heard this.
He did not deny that this situation might exist.
But it’s hard to say exactly how it will be.
At this moment, Wang Chengen said: "Lu Zhongcheng said that General Zheng Zhilong was by his side.
He said that there were many pirates in Nanyang and there were Western barbarian activities.
My envoy from the Ming Dynasty might not be able to reach the Nanyang countries safely.
And even if the Nanyang countries wanted to pay tribute, I'm afraid they would not Encountered robbery.”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately remembered that Zheng Zhilong had said before that at the southernmost tip of the Annam Peninsula, the rebel general of the Li Dynasty colluded with the Fo Langji people.
Counting the time, at this time, European countries had also begun to colonize Southeast Asia.
What a pity.
Now the Ming Dynasty has not yet smoothed things over, and can only watch those European colonists seizing territory.
Thinking this way, Emperor Chongzhen's mind jumped again.
The most important reason why these European colonists came from thousands of miles away is to seek wealth.
In this case, the Ming Dynasty is going to impose a maritime ban.
Wouldn't it be mutually beneficial and win-win?
After thinking about it for a moment, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt that something was going on.
He immediately entered the chat group and privately chatted with Sun Chuanting: "The imperial edict of establishing a sea ban will be announced to the world soon.
One of Sun Qing's important responsibilities is to allow overseas countries to transport food.
The Ming Dynasty.
Among them, you can contact the Hongyi people in the Netherlands and the Folangji people to ask them to transport grain to the Ming Dynasty in exchange for the silk, tea, ceramics and other things they want."
At this point, he was afraid that Sun Chuanting didn't understand enough, so he emphasized again: "The Ming Dynasty is in urgent need of food.
It needs a huge amount of food.
Do you understand?"
Sun Chuanting was aware of the group leader's private chat immediately, so he immediately replied: "Wei Chen understands, Wei Chen will take care of this matter immediately."
However, Emperor Chongzhen was still anxious for food, so he simply issued an order: "In this way, the Zheng family is familiar with Hongyi.
You ask the Zheng family to contact them and ask them to send someone to Fujian to negotiate.
In addition, Fo Langji If the people stay in Macao, please go there personally.
If they don't agree, or want to bargain, or try to eat meat from the Ming Dynasty, you will command the local government, drive them into the sea, and prohibit them from returning to the Ming Dynasty."
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was a little surprised.
He did not expect that the emperor would ask him to personally go to Macau, Guangdong to supervise the matter.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Emperor Chongzhen telling him again: "There should be missionaries among these Western barbarians.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Those missionaries were expelled by me because they did not agree to my previous request.
Their influence is still there.
Xiyi is very big.
Big money can't beat the attraction of wealth.
In this regard, you need to be careful about the size.
In addition, I can tell you that if the specialties of the Ming Dynasty are shipped to the country of Xiyi, it will be huge profits.
For Xiyi, as long as the quantity is large, It’s attractive enough” In Europe at this time, the relationship between politics and religion should be mutual use.
As long as there are enough interests, it won't be a problem for them to turn against each other.
What's more, those colonists were mostly money-grubbing desperadoes.
Sun Chuanting did not dare to neglect the emperor's personal instructions.
He immediately agreed and began to arrange the matter.
At this time, in the Wenhua Hall, because Emperor Chongzhen seemed to be in a daze, the ministers who had been discussing for a while had gradually reached a consensus.
It seems a bit difficult to prevent Jianlu from sending troops in winter.
No, Liu Xingzuo said: "Governor Hong said that he would send as many Mongolian soldiers as possible to patrol the eastern grasslands at night, and try to prevent the Jianlu from spying on the reality of Guihua City."
The meaning of these words is actually that Hong Chengchou also understood that the court could not hold back Jianlu, so he could only hope to isolate Jianlu's exploration.
But the grassland is boundless, so how can it be possible to truly isolate Jianlu and Tanma.
What's more, Huang Taiji is very determined, and those detective horses must have tried their best to investigate.
Everyone listened, some were silent, some nodded slightly, that's all.
After Wen Tiren thought about it for a while, he decided to make a proposal and ask for a reduction in the immigration of Qin and Jin disaster victims to the Hetao area.
But at this moment, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly said: "I know that food is the most scarce material in our Ming Dynasty.
But the battle of Liaodong must be fought, and the main force of Jianlu must be dragged in Liaodong.
This is good."
Hearing what he said, the ministers in the Wenhua Palace paid attention.
Bi Ziyan, in particular, looked troubled.
The emperor was determined to beat him, and he, the minister of household affairs, would lose his hair.
"The Jianlu have no food.
If they want to expedition to Hetao, they will also need a lot of military supplies, especially food.
For this reason, the slave chief also issued an order to let North Korea try to collect food and grass to send over."
Emperor Chongzhen said this, Smiling slightly, he suddenly said firmly: "If we cut off these grains, it will not only ease the supply of military grain in Liaodong, but also aggravate the food crisis of Jianlu.
What do you think?"
The ministers below did not expect the emperor to say this, and they couldn't help but nod when they heard it.
If we can really intercept these grains, the benefits must be obvious.
Wang Chengen immediately spoke: "Lu Zhongcheng said that he will do his best and set off immediately to lead the Hussars Battalion to Dongjiang."
Hearing this, Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but wonder: "Didn't Jianlu keep troops in North Korea to guard against the Dongjiang Army?
Moreover, Lu Zhongcheng had intercepted their food before.
Now if he goes there again, will Jianlu not be able to do it?"
Preparation can defeat Jianlu and intercept grain."
Obviously, Jianlu was not a fool.
How could he make the same mistake over and over again.
Furthermore, these grains are very important to the Jianlu people, and they must be on guard against the Dongjiang Ming Army:
