No matter what the situation on the Fujian side is, at least the emergency military situation on the Zhejiang side cannot be delayed.

Whether this battle will be fought or not, how to fight, Zhejiang is still waiting for the orders of the Ministry of War and the Cabinet, Xu Anying is a little anxious: "Zhejiang was also harassed by the Japanese invaders, and now the Japanese in Fujian have also fled to Zhejiang, and now the situation in Zhejiang is extremely critical, whether this battle should be fought, and I ask the public to discuss and come up with an idea......

After entering the country, the gang of pirates entrenched in Pinghu burned, killed, looted, and did everything evil, and the most frustrating thing was that they slaughtered an entire village of people in the middle of the night.

This is a terrible act.

What made Emperor Longqing feel even more annoyed and gloomy was that more than 3,000 of these militiamen in Zhejiang were slashed and killed! But there were only about 300 of them!

This is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face of the court.

Emperor Longqing calmed down, his eyes were like eagles, staring at Qian Shiyun and Xu Anying, and after a while, he turned his gaze away and asked them, "According to the meaning of your Qing family, what should I do?" ”

Liu Biping in Fujian can't investigate openly now, but this battle in Zhejiang always has to be fought.

Otherwise, if something really happens in Zhejiang, the momentum that King Jin has just stopped on his side will probably rise up again immediately.

It must not be so.

Jiang Zining and Qian Shiyun glanced at each other, and looked away silently.

Jiang Zining became the first assistant, and the new Hubu Shangshu was his person, he knew how difficult the Hubu was now----- Fujian's military spending was increasing year by year, and Zhejiang and Jiangxi were also reaching out to ask for money, not to mention the Tatars in the north.......

But Qian Shiyun was keenly aware of Emperor Longqing's intentions.

He knew Emperor Longqing's determination, and he also knew that Emperor Longqing was bound to fight this battle, and after thinking about it, he touched his beard, turned around and asked Xu Anying: "You are the secretary of the military department, you come to answer, according to you, how is Zhejiang?" ”

Xu Anying thought about it carefully and replied cautiously: "Zhou Yunyi, the governor of Zhejiang, is a capable person, and the reason why the Japanese did not invade Zhejiang before is that Zhejiang is guarded by Zhou Yunyi. ”

The implication is that if Zhou Yunyi is given enough supplies, this battle can be fought.

Emperor Longqing turned his gaze to Xue Ziming, who had not spoken: "What do you think?" ”

Xue Ziming thought for a while, and then said: "Back to the Holy Lord, the household department collected a total of 51 million taels of taxes and silver last year, and the original expenditure budget was 42 million taels, but in fact, a total of 58 million taels was spent, and there was a deficit...... Seven million taels ......."

From last year to the present, the Yellow River has been flooded, the Jiujiang River has burst its embankment, the King of Jin has rebelled, and the four princes have died, and there are places everywhere to use silver.

In addition to the military spending of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the salaries of the military guards on the northern border, it is normal to have such a deficit.

And they all fell silent.

Emperor Longqing took a deep look at him and asked him: "I naturally know the difficulties of the household. But in extraordinary times, there is naturally an extraordinary way, is there no way? Let the soldiers of Zhejiang go hungry to fight the Japanese and defend the country? ! ”

It means that it must be fought.

Xue Ziming cautiously glanced at Jiang Zining's face, and when he saw that the master nodded almost invisibly, he replied angrily: "If you return to the saint, please send Qin to the south to inspect the salt, clarify the salt tax, and use it for national use." ”

Salt Tax ......

That's to make those salt merchants bleed.

Emperor Longqing immediately looked at Jiang Zining and nodded without thinking: "Quasi-play!" ”

But this is not a long-term solution, although the salt tax can solve the temporary emergency, but the cost of fighting a war can not be solved by the salt tax.

Emperor Longqing waited for Xue Ziming to continue.

Sure enough, Xue Ziming immediately bowed down again, and said impassionedly and as calmly as possible: "The minister still has something to invite!" Fujian officialdom is complicit and corruption is serious. Although we can't check it with great fanfare now, we can't just let it go. ”

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, arched his hands upright, and said word by word: "The minister asks the Holy Lord to immediately let Pingxi Hou take office, start the construction of the city, and raise military salaries!" ”

Emperor Longqing's eyes lit up.

Even everyone looked at Xue Ziming.

Yes, Liu Biping can't be directly sent to the capital for trial, because the implication is too great, but what if someone goes to Fujian to build a city under the banner of raising military funds for Zhejiang?

As long as Shen Chen has that ability, he can win Liu Biping without shaking the Fujian officialdom......

Emperor Longqing immediately named Xu Anying: "What do you think?" ”

Xu Anying lowered his head and thought about it carefully, then nodded seriously: "The minister thinks it is feasible, the matter that Pingxi Hou wants to go to Fujian to serve as the envoy of the city has been said for nearly a year or two, and if he is let go at this moment, Liu Biping and Fujian officialdom will not feel strange and suspicious." As long as Hou Ye can stand, even if he can't figure out how Liu Biping will be for a while, at least he can let Liu Biping rein in and spit out the income of the city to fill the treasury. Not to mention, it can also deter Fujian officialdom and let those silverfish in Fujian know that the heavenly power of the imperial court! ”

Emperor Longqing snorted, didn't know what to think, and said after a while: "In this case, you will go to draw up the vote, and after the cabinet vote is drafted, let An Yong approve the red!" ”

A crowd of people should be.

Emperor Longqing then summoned Shen Chen, Marquis of Pingxi, into the palace.

At that time, Shen Chen was also receiving the news that although the King of Jin was defeated and retreated, but Jiujiang suddenly flooded, and the King of Linjiang was busy appeasing the affected people, and he had no time to put down the rebellion again, so he gave the King of Jin room to breathe.

Cedar snorted, "I heard..... I heard that the king of Jin sent a letter of persuasion to the prince, and it also said that the death of the prince was wronged, which was obviously deliberately killed by the imperial court, so let the prince simply rebel together, and let the prince be a flat-shouldered king after the matter is completed......"

Shen Chen sneered, put the letter in his hand on the fire and burned it, and asked Xuesong: "How did you handle the matter of Xue Changshi?" ”

Cedar returned to his seriousness and shook his head: "That guy has a very sensitive nose, after the news of the death of the prince spread, he couldn't shrink back, and he became the military advisor of the king of Jin with one mind, and our people sneaked into Nanchang and Guangchang several times, but they couldn't help him." ”

Shen Chen frowned: "This person can't be kept, he knows a lot of things about Chu Jingxing, and he is also one of Chu Jingxing's henchmen, this time the letter of persuasion may be from him, if his father refuses to agree, he will make what Chu Jingxing did public, so that his father will be accused by the world, so as to force his father to rebel against his father." ”

Cedar knew that it was powerful, and immediately turned solemn, and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, you have urgently notified the prince with a secret letter......
