Zhu Jie's eyes narrowed fiercely, everything else can be tolerated, but if you want to wedge Dongying, you can't tolerate it!

Zhu Jie stood up and said in a deep voice: "Yingwu, immediately send the elite forces of the Intelligence Department to Dongying!" Set up the Dongying Branch of the Ministry of Intelligence, infiltrate all the feudal towns, I want to control every move of all the feudal towns, and immediately send an edict to Cha Xuan, let him hang the fleets of Western countries first, leave them alone, as long as they don't open fire, let them go; However, none of these Japanese daimyo with bad intentions will be left behind, and whichever one has ambition will be cleaned up for me, don't keep your hands, clean up viciously, and would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let go of one! I want to use my blood to tell the local forces in Dongying, and also to the countries of the West, that no one can interfere in the internal affairs of Dongying! ”

Xu Yifan was shocked and hesitated: "Your Majesty, isn't this a declaration of war against Western countries?" Is it really going to be fought? ”

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Whether we fight or not, we must ensure that Dongying must be in our hands!" The heads of some big names are not enough to make the Western countries dizzy, and the Ming Dynasty is not ready for a full-scale war, and they Western countries are also not ready for a full-scale war, if they are sure, they will have the warship to the coast of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Xu Yifan understood that even if he wanted to negotiate peace and negotiate, he had to put on a tough posture, otherwise, it would be a lot more troublesome to talk about.

"Bi Dengfu, how many firearms does the Firearms Bureau have in stock today?"

Zhu Jie turned to Bi Dengfu and asked.

Bi Dengfu hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, some time ago, because of the expedition to Dongying, almost all the firearms of the Firearms Bureau have been transferred to the fleet and the Tianxiong Army, and now after several months of preparation, we have supervised the manufacture of 20,000 muskets, 400 sets of rockets, 100 red-coated artillery, 50 flowering cannons, as for the ammunition, there is no shortage for the time being, and now the shipyard in Fujian has also been initially expanded and completed, and is being put into the supervision of warships, and now there are three Tian-class warships and five ground-class warships, It is being supervised, but if you want to build it well, you will have to wait until next summer, and Longjiang Bao Shipyard also has two heaven-class warships and five earth-class warships under supervision, and they can be launched in June next year......"

Zhu Jie frowned, it sounded like a lot of these reserves, but if the war really started, the battlefield would be like a bottomless pit, and no amount of weapons and ammunition would be enough!

"Decree that all the rockets of the Nanjing Firearms Bureau will be shipped and delivered to Cha Bolt, and all of them will be deployed in Nagasaki, Satsuma, and Osaka, and at the same time 50 red-coated artillery pieces and 20 flowering cannons will be transported, and the batteries in various important places will be redeployed, as long as these harbors will not fall into the hands of the West, they will not be able to turn the sky upside down!"

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty! This, this! Our local defense forces are weak now, why do we need to deploy all these weapons to Dongying? ”

Sun Chuanting was anxious when he heard this, and said hurriedly.

Zhu Jie waved his hand and replied: "It's still the same sentence, easily, Western countries don't dare to launch an attack on the Ming Dynasty and attack Dongying, but it is still reasonable, after all, we will destroy Dongying, they can intervene as a neutral country, and it is justified; But attacking Daming, that is their rudeness, that is, they want to fight for us to the death! The Westerners did not have the consent of all countries, and they categorically did not dare to directly start a war to attack the Ming Dynasty, and they could not bear the consequences! ”

Today's Ming Dynasty, the territory is larger than the entire Western Ocean, just relying on hundreds of warships in the Western Ocean, adding up to less than 100,000 troops, to destroy the Ming Dynasty, that is simply impossible to accomplish, after all, Zhu Jie is not the late Qing Dynasty of the few waste wood emperors, Xu Yifan, Qin Mufeng and others are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am afraid that once the military strength of Western countries board the land of the Ming Dynasty, it will not be far from destruction, and win benefits, which is based on ensuring that the ruling foundation of the South Seas is not shaken or overthrown. If, in the end, even the territory of the South Seas cannot be saved, then these governors who are in that position will be miserable.

"Ming Yan, you have walked from Nanyang, but what is the best strategy?"

Zhu Jie asked.

Zheng Chenggong's face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is the incompetence of the ministers, who has failed to live up to your expectations, and has not been able to complete your entrustment, but has caused such a huge trouble, please ask the emperor to surrender ......"

"What did you say!"

Zhu Jie's face sank, and he shouted, "As long as you successfully drag Cohen's army in Nanyang, it means that your mission has been completed excellently, as for the issue of Dongying trade, it is beyond your scope of authority and responsibility, how can I blame you?" Tell me, what's the strategy? ”

Zheng Chenggong hesitated, gritted his teeth, and replied: "Your Majesty, we monopolize Dongying, there is no doubt that this is causing pink eye in Western countries, because of jealousy and hatred, now is really the time for the four countries to work together, the sea forces are strong, it is definitely not the best time for us to fight with it, the minister thinks, it is better to let the last step, Taoguang and obscurity, and wait for the coming day......"

"Zheng Sen, what did you say?"

Gao Jie's eyes were anxious, and he grabbed Zheng Chenggong's collar and roared: "Take a step? How are you going to make concessions? Zheng Sen, can I tell you, Dongying was beaten by many soldiers of the Tianxiong Army and the Ming Fleet, and more than 4,000 soldiers were killed in battle alone. Where do you talk about the face of hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers? Where do you say the dignity of the emperor is placed? Sell the country for glory! Lao Tzu didn't agree to die, and before he died, he had to pinch you to death! ”

Gao Jie is a first-class warrior, although Zheng Chenggong has a family history and knows martial arts, but in front of Gao Jie, a fierce general, where is the opponent?

Zheng Chenggong said urgently: "Lord Gao, Lord Gao is angry, let's ......"

"Eigo! Stop it! ”

Zhu Jie shouted, "Above the court, how can you be so presumptuous? Don't let go of Ming Yan and apologize to Ming Yan? ”

"Your Majesty!"

Gao Jie let go of Zheng Chenggong and was about to speak.

Zhu Jie shouted: "Why, didn't you hear my words? Apologies to Ming Yan! As an important minister of the imperial court, how can he be rude if he disagrees? I am asking Ming Yan for a plan, the speaker is not guilty, no matter what Ming Yan said is reasonable or not, I can't blame him, otherwise, wouldn't I be the number one faint king in the past? ”

Gao Jie's face turned red, he looked at Zheng Chenggong, arched his hand, and said angrily: "Lord Zheng, this official is rude, I hope don't be surprised!" ”
