Chapter 368: School Examination (3)

In fact, Zhu Changluo has always wondered, in his cognition, fighting a war has always been a matter of making money, looking forward to the Song Dynasty every year to send the New Year's coins, to the back to look at the various treaties signed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even in the countless wars in later generations, the victorious countries are all making a lot of money.

But now, it has become a desperate army, and everyone has come to the door, still worrying about how much it will cost......

And the defeated country ceded land and lost silver, but no one ever thought about it, I have to call it a strange thing, you know, even a few years ago in the war of the Japanese state, when the final peace talks, the Ming only asked him to submit a table, promised never to invade, and accepted the Ming canonization!

Other substantive things are not at all......

"The Battle of Liaodong?"

Zhu Yijun frowned, his eyes were slightly complicated, but Zhu Changluo didn't care and continued.

"Father, in the war of the Japanese Kingdom, our army and people consumed a lot, and the royal inner treasury was almost emptied, but after the victory, North Korea did not express its gratitude, but built a high wall to prevent my Ming army, why?"

Without waiting for Zhu Yijun to answer, Zhu Changluo said by himself.

"No profit! In the past, the Japanese army came to the city, and seized the land of the eight roads of Korea, and its country was not safe, and panicked to my Ming Dynasty for help, and the father was merciful, and sent troops to help Er and so on to restore the country, and expelled the Japanese army from the country, although it was to protect the peace of my Ming territory, but it was also a great favor for North Korea, but there were also words in the streets, and the great grace was also a great enemy, and I was so selfless and selfless, helping it to restore its homeland, but it was suspected of wanting to seize its land, which is the nature of human beings! ”

"Erchen often thinks that if when I sent troops to the Ming Dynasty, I agreed with North Korea in advance to repay my Ming military expenses at two times after its restoration, maybe it would be at ease!"

Zhu Yijun thought about it and felt that there was something wrong with what Zhu Changluo said, but he couldn't find any problems for a while.

However, aside from others, purely from the perspective of interests, what Zhu Changluo said really made him extremely excited, in the war of the Japanese state, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China did not fight on the grounds that the treasury was empty, and it was he who won the war by filling the inner treasury with two pieces of silver and silver into military funds.

Now that I think about it, if I had made such an agreement with the king of Joseon in the first place, not only would the inner treasury and silver not be empty, but would have made a lot of money!

And the land of the king of Korea is not guaranteed, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves, so there is no room for disagreement......

Zhu Changluo smiled and said.

"But this battle has passed, and it is useless to mention others, this battle of Liaodong, the Japanese country is arrogant, tears up the national letter, and rashly sends troops to kill my envoys, which really should be a lesson, but what Erchen cares more about is the voice of those innocent dead soldiers!"

"If it weren't for this war, they would have shared their lives with their wives and children at home, but during the war, they had to wrap their bodies in horse leather and leave their lives in a foreign land, which is really a pity......"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Zhu Yijun felt that there was a layer of window paper in front of him, but he couldn't break it, he felt really uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated for a while, and waved his hand.

"Erchen just wants to say that it is natural to kill people to pay for their lives, is it possible that the life of this soldier is not his life? Their deaths were all due to the wars provoked by the Wa State without authorization, so their deaths should naturally be borne by the Wa State! ”

"You mean, the pension for the soldiers after the war will come from the Wa Kingdom?"

Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up suddenly, and he patted his thigh.

Although Zhu Changluo's words are a bit strong, for example, when the war breaks out, the Ming Dynasty is dead, isn't the other party dead? Therefore, Zhu Changluo's words cannot withstand careful scrutiny at all.

But Zhu Yijun knows that Zhu Changluo's words don't need to be carefully scrutinized at all, he just needs a reason now, a justifiable reason to ask for money from the Japanese state!

And this reason only needs to convince those stubborn ministers in the DPRK and China, as for the opinion of the Wa State?

When did the winner care about the opinion of the loser!

As for how to persuade those ministers, it is very easy, the above reason, the Japanese state can take it for example, but the courtiers cannot take it out, otherwise, as a Ming courtier, you always think about the soldiers and people of other countries, and do not think about the dead and injured Ming people, what is your intention?

The reason why they will oppose it will only be that the Ming Dynasty is a well-dressed country, how can it bully the weak and ask for military funds?

And this, don't worry at all, these ministers attach the most importance to reputation, when the time comes, the pensions of the fallen soldiers will not be issued, and the orphans and widows will cry when they come to their mansions, Zhu Yijun wants to see if these ministers dare to say that it is wrong to ask for military funds!

As long as the problem of post-war pension is solved, the pressure on the imperial court can be at least half reduced, but this matter cannot be brought forward early, it can only be raised after the war, and the timing must be chosen......

All of a sudden, Zhu Yijun's mind was racing and he had already begun to think about how to implement this plan.

However, Zhu Changluo smiled and continued.

"Not only do they have to be responsible for the bereavement, but they have to pay five times as much! How can the lives of my Ming soldiers be measured in a mere amount of silver? ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, finding that he still knew too little about this son.

Five-fold pension, he can figure it out!

But in this way, it is better, with the temptation of so much silver, the families of those fallen soldiers will work harder, and he will be less pressured in the court, not to mention that the small people will not see that their silver is sent by the Japanese state, they will only feel that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is benevolent and loves the people, and will only be more loyal and patriotic!

Seeing that Zhu Yijun had already moved, Zhu Changluo took a deep breath and arched his hand.

"What's more, the ministers thought that if it weren't for the provocation of the Japanese state, this war should not have started, except for the sergeant's pension, all the expenses of my Ming Dynasty for this war, including logistics and military supplies, wear and tear on the road, and even the rewards after the war, should be converted into silver taels and paid by the Japanese state!"

"Good ......"

Zhu Yijun was excited, and almost agreed directly, but fortunately, the majesty of the emperor for many years made him stop his mouth in time, thought for a moment, and frowned.

"If you talk about pensions, you can still use your reasons, but these various military resources, including post-war rewards, are they excessive, can you consider the courtiers?"

After the war, if you pay for the pension, double the silver, and then secretly ask those family members to go out and make trouble, after all, those courtiers can only suffer silently, after all, the scholars and doctors are all about face, and a bunch of orphans and widows are crying in front of the door, how can they not let it go.

But it is different to demand that the Japanese state pay all the military resources and post-war rewards, this is already naked blackmail, the ministers are not fools, this kind of thing that makes the big countries lose face, they will definitely attack in groups.

Zhu Changluo had already expected this scene, and smiled mysteriously and said.

"If the father is relieved, please hand over this matter to the son, and before the war, the son-in-law will definitely solve the matter satisfactorily!"

Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment, but he couldn't resist such a temptation, and said.

"Well, if you have faith, go for it......"
