The tribute of the vassal was originally a great thing to boost the morale of the people, and the Ming Dynasty prepared for this for more than a month, and the gentry and people of Nanjing were also happy for more than a month.

But as the news of the Donghu envoy came out, the people of Nanjing, who were still excited, were immediately poured a basin of cold water on their heads like a cold winter wax moon, and the enthusiasm and flame burning in their hearts were immediately extinguished.

This made some people frustrated, some angry, Nanjing's streets were affected by the incident, and they all became deserted, but the number of customers in various restaurants and liquor shops skyrocketed, and many resentful words came out of it, and there were even words asking the imperial court soldiers to attack Donghu.

In this regard, the Ming court remained silent, but soon after, the news that the three kings of governance would be at the foot of the Purple Mountain and read the armies began to appear in the imperial court newspaper.

At the same time, the mission, which was originally going to leave Nanjing, was invited by the Ming Dynasty to stay and participate in the performance temporarily.

The most grand scale is that soon after Tang Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, in order to stabilize the throne and deter political opponents inside and outside the government and the opposition, 200,000 people were mobilized at the foot of Lishan Mountain.

The method proposed by Wang Yan is to parade the armies, show off their muscles, and deter the barrier.

Donghu is far away in the southwest, Yunnan is in the hands of Sun Kewang, the Ming Dynasty said that the soldiers went to fight him, the road could not go, and even if the road could be passed, the Ming Dynasty could not give up the Manchu Qing Dynasty now, go to the southern wasteland, and fight what Donghu, so it shows that there is actually nothing to do about the Chao Na Donghu.

Killing the envoy, in addition to leaving a bad reputation in the Nanyang domain, what should people do in Donghu, or what, on the contrary, will make Donghu dare to confront the Ming Dynasty, and gain a certain prestige, so that the small Nanyang countries that are enemies of the Ming Dynasty in the future will fall to Donghu, and the subject countries of the Ming Dynasty will also be afraid of Donghu's strength, between the Ming and Donghu, snakes and rats.

The Great Parade of the Armies was not only to deter Donghu, but also to show the envoys of other vassals, so that they could see the strength of the Ming Dynasty, so that the feudal screen did not dare to have two hearts.

The Cabinet, the Cabinet Hall, the Three Kings, and the Cabinet Ministers gathered together.

Originally, Wang Yan renovated Bauhinia City, has spent more than 200,000 taels, but now the big reading of the army, I am afraid it will cost another four or five hundred thousand, although Wang Yan said that his family is quite thick, but his heart is still a little painful, he will temporarily put this account on the body of Donghu Kingdom, and when he has leisure in the future, he will inevitably ask for it back.

At this time, everyone was seated in the hall, and Wang Yan began to ask, "Can the new armor of the military department be transferred to Nanjing before the new gun." ”

"Your Royal Highness, the armor stored by the imperial court last year was sent to the Huguang battlefield, and the armor inventory of the military department is not much, probably only seven or eight thousand people can be equipped, and there are some new guns, of which there are more than 30,000 guns in Lumi, and there are more than 1,000 self-generated guns with reference to the Dutch guns, and more than 300 guns in Zhidian." Chen Bangyan replied loudly.

This big reading was originally to get back the scene, and what I wanted was to save face.

Wang Yan listened to the reply and thought for a while, "The new guns have been shipped to Nanjing, as for the armor, it is now mid-February, and the preparations are completed, it is estimated that the road will be in April, when the weather has warmed up, the soldiers can reluctantly change into armor, and the placket armor of the military department should still have some reserves!" ”

"Cloth armor, there are indeed some armor, plus the workshop repaired after last year's dressing, it should be able to come up with fifty or sixty thousand sets."

Wang Yan nodded, "Then change into summer clothes, let the soldiers suffer a little, and support my Daming's face." ”

After speaking, Wang Yan looked at Tang Wang again, "Is there a problem with the three big ships transferred from Zheng Guo's surname to come to Nanjing in early April?" ”

"Lonely's letter, holding the military department to hurry over together, there should be no problem." After Tang Wang finished speaking, he added: "However, the governor of Liangguang, Lord Chen, made an appointment with the surname of the country to attack the Dacheng, and the surname of the country has begun to send people to infiltrate the island of Taiwan, collect the situation of the Dutch on the island, and recruit sailors and pilots who are familiar with the water lines and routes. ”

Wang Yan understood what he meant, and the strategy of conquering Taiwan and reuniting the imperial court to the south could be used to resettle a group of refugees, so he supported it, "King Tang can rest assured, as soon as the reading is over, the ship will be returned to Fujian immediately." ”

This big parade is a glorious thing, and the participating army will inevitably change clothes, King Lu said: "Now, there are 80,000 horses under the city of Yangzhou, and it is not convenient to transfer too many people from other provinces, and Nanjing currently only has 30,000 loyal people. ”

Wang Yan muttered: "I wanted to transfer some Tusi wolf soldiers from Guangxi, and Sichuan to transfer white poles, but the distance is too far, so I will transfer more than 10,000 people from Jiangxi nearby, 30,000 from Jiangbei, 3,000 cavalry from Nanyang, plus 30,000 horses from Nanjing, there are more than 70,000 people, and then take out the sharpest firearms of my Ming Dynasty, which can deter the Nanyang domains." ”

When Tang Wang heard that Jiangxi only transferred 10,000, but Jiangbei transferred 30,000, he couldn't help but say: "There is no war in Jiangxi, you can transfer more, even if it is a new pawn, it doesn't matter, it is better to make up 100,000." ”

Wang Yan waved his hand, did not return to the Tang King, but said to the King of Lu: "Jiangbei will send Xie Qian, as well as soldiers from Shandong. The imperial court had decided to send a large army into Korea to threaten Guanwai, Shandong, Beizhi and other places of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that the imperial court could recover the two Huai in the future. North Korea is also a bitter cold place, and the southern armies may not be able to adapt to it, so they can only think about it, only Xie Qian's department is suitable, let them change their equipment, and after participating in the big parade, they will go directly to North Korea. The imperial court will allocate cotton armor, cotton clothes, as well as grain, grass, money and grain, as soon as possible, and send them to North Korea. ”

When King Tang heard this, he didn't wait for Wang Yan to answer, as if he hadn't said anything himself, King Lu frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Since the imperial court has decided, Lone has no objection, but Xie Qian is from a rogue after all, and he is untamable, so Lone suggested sending Ruan Mei as a deputy general, and it would be better to send a prison army to cooperate." ”

"Yes!" Wang Yan said: "Then the matter is so decided, the matter of Dayue, if there is a mistake again, Lone must be investigated to the end, and whoever is the problem will be solved to the end." ”

"Xiaguan and others, obey orders!" Except for Tang Lu, the rest of the ministers all bowed.

Wang Yan nodded, "What's the matter?" Nothing to do and then dispersed! ”

"Your Highness! When reading, please don't invite the Qing envoy! Gu Yuanjing suddenly asked.

By the way, there are also Manchu envoys, this time they were shown a joke.

Wang Yan thought for a while, and then replied: "Please also invite it, and let the Manchus see my Chinese prestige!" ”

"King Chu, it's not proper! It is said that in this big parade, the military department has prepared a lot of new equipment, if the Manchu envoys snoop on, I am afraid it will not be good for our Ming Dynasty. Tang Wang questioned.

Wang Yan said: "This doesn't matter, just like the fire gun and the electric gun, which are recorded in the Wubei Zhi and the artifact spectrum, they have long been clear, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty can also find out, but if you want to build it, it is not so simple to equip it." This requires experienced craftsmen and a large amount of money, just like the arsenal workshop in Guangzhou, after four years of investment, and with the help of the Portuguese and the Jesuits, we can only build that little in a year, not to mention the Manchus. ”

Wang Yan paused, and then said: "Moreover, this time Lone also wants to bluff and scare the Manchu Qing. The Qing envoys saw our Chinese weapon, and the desire for peace was bound to be even greater, and they wanted to exchange Yangzhou for peace, so many Duo and tens of thousands of Qing troops could not be withdrawn, and once the imperial court eased up, they could annihilate these tens of thousands of Qing soldiers in Yangzhou. It is better for the Qing soldiers to hide in Yangzhou than after withdrawing to the north! ”
