"Borrow 30% of my country's grain stocks?!
How could the Celestial Empire be like this!
”After learning from Yuan Chonghuan about the original intention of the Ming Emperor to send sailors, Jin Liu, the leader of the Korean Kingdom, couldn't help but feel very shocked and angry."
Do you want to resist the decree?
Don't blame the official for saying ugly things in front, if you don't agree now, the Daming Sailor will directly attack Seoul in accordance with the holy will, and when the time comes, you will be forced to snatch 30% of the grain, you definitely don't want to see that scene, that will be a death!
”Yuan Chonghuan asked now, and then threatened rather arrogantly.Then, the corners of Yuan Chonghuan's mouth raised again, and he continued: "In addition, please don't let my Majesty the Ming Emperor doubt His Royal Highness's loyalty, otherwise, the consequences will be very serious!"
”"You guys!"
Li Xingli, the training general, directly pulled out his knife, looking at Yuan Chonghuan's arrogant appearance, quite angry."
General Li can kill this official, but General Li is not afraid of this knife, will he not be able to keep the throne of His Royal Highness to whom you are loyal, it is rumored that His Royal Highness was supported by you because Li Hui, the Monarch of Guanghai, betrayed the Celestial Empire, why don't you want your Highness to be loyal to the Celestial Empire so soon?"
Yuan Chonghuan has been in North Korea for so long now, and he is also familiar with North Korean affairs, so he can deal with the reactions of these North Korean rulers very calmly at this time."
In addition, let me tell you one more thing, my Heavenly Dynasty sailor already has a boat to go to Ping'andao, you better hurry up, don't really force my Ming Emperor His Majesty to change the master because he doubts your loyalty!"
Yuan Chonghuan continued."
The previous Celestial Empire was not so domineering and arrogant, it was all treated favorably by our vassal countries, helping us to calm down and restore tranquility, how can it be like this now!
The Taizu of the Celestial Empire also said that my Korea is a country that the Celestial Empire does not conquer. ”Jin Liu couldn't help but say sourly."
Emperor Ming Zu said that it is not a wanton expedition, not a non-conquest, if there is a usurpation and other things, it should be a conquest, or if it is not loyal to the Celestial Empire, it should also be a conquest, and this time, the Celestial Empire does not have to conquer your country, but only borrow grain from your country to relieve the people's hardship, and collect grain to calm the troubles, if your country is loyal, you should actively donate grain and borrow grain, and the court will not be greatly conquest."
Yuan Chonghuan replied."
Okay!
Open the treasury and invite the Celestial Empire to come and get food!
”In the end, the Joseon king, Yi Jung, did not refuse.He has just succeeded in usurping the throne, his name has not yet been recognized by the Ming Emperor, and the remnants of Guanghaijun in the country have not been completely cleared, and Li Shi of Ping'an Dao is ready to move, just now Yuan Chonghuan said that the Heavenly Dynasty sailors sent people to Ping'an Dao has made him feel uneasy, and now Yuan Chonghuan said that Daming can conquer himself at any time on the grounds that he has won the country improperly, so he has to compromise now.After all, food is still not as important as the throne.And Jin Liu was busy persuading excitedly at this time: "Your Highness!
North Korea is poor, and now the actual grain in the treasury is only more than 9 million stones, if the Celestial Empire takes 3 million stones and borrows 30 percent, then the treasury will only have 30 percent of the grain left!
At that time, once there is a military or disaster relief, the stock of three million stone grains may be unsustainable!
Also, North Korea is transporting grain to the Celestial Empire, and it is difficult for the Korean people to explain!
”Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile: "I have millions of armored warriors in the Ming Dynasty, and there are even more than 10,000 naval warships, in addition to protecting the people of the Celestial Empire, but also protecting the people of your country.I, Yuan Chonghuan, can keep your society safe!
What's more, there are still millions of armored warriors in the Celestial Empire!
Besides, half of the grain is borrowed, and sooner or later it will be repaid, and the other half of the grain is also to help you eliminate the hidden danger of the northern captivity, what do you don't want to do, and if you don't take it away, you won't pay it back, and you can explain it to the Korean people, just say that it is to repay the grace of the Celestial Empire for the restoration of the country, so donate grain and borrow grain to the Celestial Empire, what is it, are the Korean people still not understandable?
If you can't understand it, you don't need to educate you, and I, the Ming Emperor, will educate these unreasonable people for you!
”What is a million armor, what can he alone keep the peace of North Korea, naturally Yuan Chonghuan himself is habitually blowing, but the Korean monarchs and ministers can't doubt it at this time.And Yuan Chonghuan had to admit that his son of heaven was really clever, how could he come up with the trick of borrowing grain, which did not lose the dignity of a big country, but also got benefits."
Alright!
Give it, give it, now it is the key to show loyalty to the Celestial Empire, the grain is not enough, and the tax will continue to be levied next year. ”Li Qi said helplessly."
Yes!"
Jin Liu had no choice but to agree.As a result, the Ming court obtained six million stone grains from North Korea without blood, and shipped them back to China one after another.Because Zhu Youxiao spent a lot of money in the Tianjin shipyard, the shipyard's shipbuilding output has become very high.After all, with Daming's manufacturing capacity, if you want to yard ships, it is no problem to yard dozens or hundreds.Therefore, when the Ming court asked Shen Yourong to take the Denglai sailor to North Korea, it also coded dozens of ships, and Chen Xin took the sailor battalion of Guard Town to the Wa Kingdom to borrow grain.Chen Xin came to Edo Bay directly with dozens of ships according to the navigation chart given by the Imperial Gift.As soon as he arrived at Yokohama in Edo Bay, Chen Xin stacked the five sail-powered warships and twenty hard-sailed Daihiro ships he had brought with him on the shore of Yokohama, and then began to land.The current Wa Kingdom was still in the Shogunate period.Closed off the country.There is no strong coastal defense capability either.Therefore, after Chen Xin came here, he landed directly in Yokohama and went ashore to code people.At the beginning, Chen Xin directly coded the 3,000 people of the Sailor Battalion of the Naval Division Battalion of Guards Town, and then these 3,000 people relied on advanced firearms and strong combat power to successfully take Yokohama City, which was lax in garrison and had no awareness of coastal defense.Then, Chen Xin continued to code people.This time he brought more than 20,000 people.However, the 20,000 people, except for the Sailor Battalion, were all coastal defense militiamen trained by the Sailor Academy in Liaodong.However, it is enough to bluff.Therefore, after Chen Xin coded 3,000 people in Yokohama, he directly coded another 20,000 people.Plus the bombardment of a battleship with fifty or sixty guns.The people of the shogunate naturally couldn't stand such a demonstration, after all, they only had about 20 decent coastal defense guns, and the warships were just a few hard sailing ships that were not even as good as the lucky ships.Therefore, the people of the shogunate immediately met with the envoy of the Ming Dynasty and were relieved to learn that the Ming Dynasty had come to borrow grain.Because the current Wakoku has been in peace for a long time, and before that, it made a lot of money by invading Korea, and now that the shogunate is in its early stages, the ability to collect taxes is still good, so the shogunate now has a lot of grain.It is not a matter for them to borrow rice from the Ming Dynasty, and they are also happy to measure the material resources of the Japanese country and the favor of the Ming Dynasty.The shogunate personally sent people to move 30% of the stored grain, totaling more than 5 million stones, to the sailor battalion of Daming Konoe Town to take away.Zhu Youxiao didn't know about Chen Xin and the others going to the Wa Kingdom to borrow grain, but he had already received news from North Korea and learned that Shen Yourong had brought back six million stone of grain from North Korea."
Excellent!
Now there is grain borrowed from outside, for this grain speculation, the victory of the imperial court can be said to be a foregone conclusion, pass the decree, continue to lower the price of grain, those noble and wealthy families and the vassal kings behind them, since they like to hoard grain, let them continue to buy, we have to do a good job in the role of big grain merchants, don't worry about not enough food, not enough food, let the sailors with the fleet continue to borrow from the outside, North Korea, the Japanese borrowed, to borrow Siam, Java grain, as long as there are people in the country willing to continue to buy, we continue to borrow!
”Zhu Youxiao therefore issued the latest decree to Han Yi, Xiong Tingbi and others."
Your Majesty, is this grain borrowed from abroad, do you want to formulate a charter for returning the grain?"
Han Yi suddenly asked at this time.He has always been silent and does not speak, and does not open his mouth if it is not his own business.But now that it comes to increasing the debts of the imperial court, he can't help but say more.Because Daming has now borrowed three million stone grain from North Korea alone, if he still borrows it, it will undoubtedly make Daming's debt very serious.Zhu Youxiao lowered his face and looked at Han Yi: "If Fang Congzhe was here, he wouldn't ask this question!"
”"Humph!
It is their honor that they can borrow food for Daming!
”Zhu Youxiao left here as he spoke."
Damn it!"
Han Yi was quite stunned, he didn't expect that his words would make the emperor suddenly angry, so he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, sweating like rain.
