Recently, the Imperial Diet was convened at the request of Deng Ming.

In order to ensure that the parliamentarians sit patiently in the parliament, especially those from Syria, do not rush back, Deng Ming even gave food subsidies to all the parliamentarians. The content of this discussion was the issue of Deng Ming's intention to send troops. In the past, maybe everyone would agree immediately, anyway, Deng Ming has never disappointed them. But now the parliamentarians are all scared of the last crusade, and the shortage of manpower in western Sichuan is not strict for the time being, so everyone did not immediately pat their chests and agree, but asked Deng Ming to talk about how he planned to make a fortune through the crusade, and everyone could assess the costs and benefits.

Deng Ming felt that it was natural to act on the opportunistic, but this answer did not satisfy the lawmakers. The whole of western Sichuan generally believes that the present should be a period of development, and only send troops when there are too many goods to sell, or when more commercial houses appear as production expands, and a new round of labor shortage is directed. In the end, Deng Ming had to put forward a plan to sell war bonds, that is, he raised tens of thousands of troops to sell bonds, and whoever bought them was a good friend of Sichuanxi, and if he maintained peace with Sichuanxi for three years, then Sichuanxi would repay the money at an annual interest rate of 5%, and if there was war reparations in Sichuanxi during the period, he would also pay dividends to those who bought bonds; If he didn't buy it, it would mean that he had ill intentions and planned to launch a war against western Sichuan within three years, and Deng Ming would beat this thief in advance, and then take the compensation to western Sichuan, and give a part to his good friend who had bought the Ming war bonds before.

But this idea is obviously too advanced for most parliamentarians to understand.

Since ancient times, borrowing money for one or two years should not be used to make a profit, unless it is a relative of the family, or it is a living Bodhisattva-like figure. But none of the people Deng Ming planned to sell bonds were good men and women, as long as they were willing to bow their heads and subscribe for bonds, it would be a major victory for Sichuan, and the benefits of these low-interest loans to Sichuanxi would definitely be more than 5% per year.

However, the parliamentarians in western Sichuan are reluctant to borrow money, feeling that the borrowed money will be repaid after all, and no matter how low the interest rate of the loan is, it will not be touched if it can be touched. Therefore, Deng Ming's plan is not only bad, but also suspected of spending money to send money to others. If it weren't for Deng Ming's proposal, it is estimated that the parliamentarians would have rejected it a long time ago, and then went home to take care of their own business.

If you don't want to lose money, it seems that the parliamentarians can only carry the soldiers all the way to sell bonds until they meet a person who refuses to collect profits and insists on fighting with the protectors. I don't know how far I have to go out, and what if I meet a poor ghost and can't lose money? If the people you meet along the way are all acquainted, do you want to go on a military adventure to Beijing to sell the Ming Dynasty's war bonds?

In the end, some people even muttered in a low voice, if Beijing bought the war bonds of the Ming Dynasty with each other, then who should they go to? Did you go and rob Goryeo and get it back and share the dividends with Beijing? Of course, this possibility is almost non-existent, and although the Tartars in Beijing are barbarians, it is still impossible to buy imperial bonds. Moreover, it is impossible for the Sichuan army to go to Beijing to sell the Ming War bonds, so they should go to the North China Plain to fight with the Eight Banners Cavalry.

Seeing that the plan to send troops was about to be stillborn, Deng Ming could only ask everyone to continue to receive the meeting allowance first, discuss it for a few more days, and at the same time urgently study with the military how to get the unanimous approval of the plan to send troops from all walks of life in Sichuan.

After sending off the British today, Deng Ming and several lieutenant colonels continued to discuss the matter, asking everyone to brainstorm and come up with a plan for sending troops that could win the approval of the majority of the councillors. Of course, these lieutenant colonels in the military want war after war, this is their job, and if there is no war, they will be idle food. But now, like Deng Ming, the lieutenant colonels also hope to get more support on the issue of sending troops, because after the Battle of Chongqing and the last Eastern Crusade, everyone realizes that an army with popular support will be much stronger.

However, these people discussed for a long time, and they didn't come up with any good solutions. In particular, the arrival of foreign merchants is not particularly favorable news, if their business plans progress, the profits of the Yangtze River shipping will become higher, and the merchants of western Sichuan must want to take advantage of this opportunity to produce more goods to make money.

"Or we'll lie?" Mu Tan came up with a plan, that is, the military lied to the parliament, saying that the southeast was besieging Chongming or Zhoushan, and that the Yangtze River shipping was under strict threat.

"It's probably no problem this time, as soon as I heard that Jiang Guozhu was so ignorant of life and death, the people must be excited, if any parliamentarian does not agree to send troops, he will be scolded! But what about after being deceived this time? No one will believe it next time, right? Zhao Tianba said.

"As long as we can make money." Mu Tan disagreed.

"Well, if you don't make any money, it's not going to end well." Zhao Tianba said and looked at Deng Ming: "Does the Admiral have any other ideas besides selling war bonds?" ”

"A lot of ideas come out of nowhere." Deng Ming said helplessly.

"That's no." Ren Tang nodded and made a judgment.

"Besides, selling war bonds is a good idea." For the insights of people in this era, Deng Ming also felt helpless.

"Sure enough, no." Everyone's opinions were unified, and none of them could think of any better way to do it.

Misfortune is not a single line, just when everyone is worried, suddenly two teams of envoys from Fujian arrived in Chengdu at the same time. One team traveled from Taiwan to Zhoushan, and then took Zhang Huangyan's fast boat, and along the way changed to the fast horses of the Governor of Liangjiang and the Governor of Huguang; The other group secretly landed on the coast of Fujian, crossed the blockade line in disguise, entered the territory of Huguang with great difficulty, and then came to Sichuan. Therefore, although the first team set off late and had a long journey, the two teams arrived in Fengjie at about the same time and were escorted to Chengdu by the Wen Inspector.

Just asked a few words, and Mu Tan cried loudly: "The benefactor hasn't recovered the two capitals yet, why did he let go." ”

After hearing the news of Zheng Chenggong's death, Deng Ming and the others were also very surprised, so they let two teams of mourning messengers in.

The group of people who came to Fengjie by land from Fujian was jointly sent by Zheng Jing and Zheng Tai. Zheng Jing said that he would inherit the title of the king of Yanping County, and at the same time inherit the honor of the national surname. In the future, he will change his signature to Zhu Jing. When this team was sent to Fengjie, two other teams also set off from Xiamen and rushed to Yunnan and Burma respectively.

This request made Ren Tang and Mu Tan look at each other when they heard it, and felt that Zheng Jing seemed to be a little arrogant in doing so. The surname of the country was given to Zheng Chenggong by Longwu, and even if it was a title, he had to ask the Son of Heaven Yongli, but the two of them thought about what Deng Ming had done, and they were embarrassed to blame Zheng Jing for taking it without telling him.

At the same time, Zheng Jing also informed Fengjie that when his father was alive, several rebellious ministers in Taiwan tried to steal his father's authority and wanted to support his younger brother as the king of Yanping County. Zheng Jing could not ignore this rebellious behavior, and when he mourned Fengjie, he was ready to go to Taiwan.

Although he was taken aback, Deng Ming had no ability to interfere in the situation in Fujian, and could only say that this was an internal matter of the Zheng family, and he would naturally not express his opinion if he didn't know anything about the situation. It's just that Zheng Jing's envoy said that Gan Hui, Yu Xin, and Wan Li, who Deng Ming rescued in Nanjing, seem to be involved. Deng Ming felt that these three people were loyal to Zheng Chenggong, if they wanted to support Zheng Jing's younger brother, then most likely this was what Zheng Chenggong meant, but Deng Ming didn't dare to say this, just said that he felt that these three people were all Zheng veterans, and they might be held hostage by villains, and hoped that Zhu Jing, the king of Yanping County, would be lenient.

At this point, Zheng Jing's envoy had achieved his purpose, he said that he would bring back Deng Ming's request, and he also asked Deng Ming to hand over to him another group of Fujian envoys who had gone to Fengjie with him, as a sign of a strong alliance between Sichuan and Fujian.

The other team was naturally sent by Taiwan, and the Xiamen envoy made such a request during the Fengjie Festival, but Wen Anzhi did not agree. Moreover, Fengjie's guards treated the envoys on both sides equally, and there was no difference in etiquette, obviously deliberately letting Deng Ming make the final decision.

……

At this time in the Taiwan Strait, Zheng Jing had already raised 30,000 gold and Xiamen soldiers and horses, and crossed the sea to kill Taiwan, and the size of the army was even larger than when Zheng Chenggong recovered Taiwan. Of course, such an operation led to the lowest point in the history of Jin and Xia's defense capability. However, fortunately, the Qing court's ban on the sea has been extended to Fujian and Liangguang, if the Qing court did not adopt Huang Wu's policy and did not self-destruct the water division, then the Qing army still has a great chance to take the empty Jin and Xia.

In addition to the fact that the Qing army had no sailors and could only stare dryly, the experienced veteran Zheng Tai was also a key factor. The last time the Xiamen naval battle was victorious, he was responsible for commanding one-third of the Fujian Ming army's naval division, and now Zheng Jing has done his best to defeat the Ming army in Taiwan with the elite of the Jin and Xiamen Ming armies, Zheng Tai has been in full spirit, and he is engrossed in monitoring the movements of the Fujian Qing army.

"The king is going to Taiwan, and the thieves will be killed." Liu Guoxuan stood on the side of the ship and congratulated Zheng Jing in advance: "The ministers and others are united, follow the king, and sweep the southeast in the future, and it is just around the corner to take the whole world." ”

Zheng Jing snorted, although he didn't express his appreciation, but judging from his expression, he obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with what Liu Guoxuan said.

"However, if you want to achieve a great cause, you must unify the powers, and this time the king's expedition is just the first step." Liu Guoxuan added.

"If you go outside, you must first settle inside, how can a widow not understand this truth?" Zheng Jing glanced at Liu Guoxuan, he knew very well who the other party was hinting at: Zheng Tai is Zheng Chenggong's brother and comrade-in-arms for many years, he has been in battle for a long time and has won the hearts of the military, and he has also managed business and trade for Zheng Chenggong for a long time. When Zheng Jing and Zheng Chenggong had a dispute, Zheng Tai also stood up and used his great prestige to protect this nephew.

Zheng Tai has the strength, ability, and prestige, and he is still unwilling to obey his orders, if Zheng Jing doesn't kill him for a day, how can he unify the interior?

"The king sees thousands of miles. However, in addition to Zheng Tai, there is also Chen Python ......" Liu Guoxuan continued, Chen Python, who first rose up to resist the landing of the Qing army in the Xiamen victory last time, was entrusted with important tasks by Zheng Chenggong after the victory, and was also inclined to Zheng Chenggong in the conflict between the Zheng family father and son, but was subdued by Zheng Tai with his prestige. However, a general with elite soldiers in Xiamen regards Zheng Jing as a rebel, which is obviously intolerable.

"One by one." Zheng Jing said coldly. When you take Taiwan, you will go to clean up Zheng Tai, and when you clean up Zheng Tai, what tricks will Chen Python and his ilk come up with? After unifying the Zheng family, with Zheng Jing's Wen Taowu strategy, is it still a matter of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains and the seizure of the world? ――
