- 555 War Bonds
Time has entered August of 1649, and just like the sun in the sky, the Ming Dynasty's government was extremely fiery. Wang Duo's departure made all Qingliu nervous. Although Wang Duo accomplished nothing, he could only be described as a waste. But as long as others are in that position, there will always be a clear sound.
What frightened the Qingliu people was that Wang Duo left suddenly without any news before. No successor has been designated or supported, and no posthumous arrangements have been made. He just left in a carefree manner, leaving behind a mess for the boss. How could the bitter rival Ma Shiying give up such a great opportunity? He would definitely put his cronies into the cabinet. In this way, there is no longer any opposition or clear voice in the cabinet.
The Qingliu people have never been afraid of fighting. In fact, the profession of Qingliu has never stopped fighting since the day it was born. Fight with the eunuchs, fight with the powerful ministers, and then fight with the emperor after you have failed. All in all, they will always find a suitable target to fight. The problem now is that if Yang Wencong, a close confidant of Ma Shiying, is allowed to enter the cabinet, it will be equivalent to losing the most important battlefield.
Cabinet voting is a power that only cabinet ministers have. How many major events that can affect the direction of government affairs are announced to the world through the hands of the cabinet? Now, it's good that Ma Shiying can completely treat the officials of the Manchu Dynasty as decorations. He can even not hold court meetings and just formulate various decrees through the cabinet.
The severe crisis has made all Qingliu extremely nervous. They visited relatives and friends, communicated with each other, and were waiting for the court meeting in August to have a good fight with Ma Shiying. Do not succeed or die, no matter what, you must seize this last cabinet spot.
The court meeting was held as scheduled, and everyone was looking forward to cheering up. Or he was thinking about the drafts he had made over the past few days, or he was thinking of all the arguments to refute Ma Shiying's ugly face. Some people even hid golden sore medicine, just waiting to be wounded by the imperial staff.
However, what surprised the Qingliu people was that when the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs made a tragic and impassioned speech, asking the court to select candidates for the cabinet, Ma Shiying actually had no reaction at all!
He neither turned over his hands to help Yun cover his hands to help Yundi take advantage of the situation to install his crony Yang Wenchong into the cabinet, nor suppressed the Qingliu people. He just said coldly, "You guys can discuss it," and then sat on the chair and closed his eyes to rest. It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all!
Ma Shiying's reaction surprised the Qingliu people. Many guys who were familiar with Ma Shiying's temperament were worried and secretly said, "There is a conspiracy." Then he stopped what he was saying and waited to see what happened.
The scene was a little awkward for a while, but kittens jumped out in twos and threes to fight in the ring. The remnants of the Donglin Party strongly praised Huang Daozhou, from qualifications to ability, and from ability to character; Fushe people and others promoted Gu Yanwu, but compared to Huang Daozhou, Gu Yanwu was more like a foil. They had made a good calculation, thinking that no matter who entered the cabinet, the only remaining spot on the Qingliu side would be retained in the cabinet.
So they deliberately pretended to be arguing and focused all their conversations on Huang Daozhou and Gu Yanwu. The fight goes on and on, and someone comes forward. It is not the way to go on like this. It is not the usual practice of voting to decide who will join the cabinet.
Ma Shiying still didn¡¯t speak, still closing her eyes to rest.
??????????????? One vote after another, almost two-thirds of the votes were concentrated on Zodiac Zhou. The Qingliu people were very happy, but they suppressed it and did not dare to be careless at all. Because they knew very well that if Ma Shiying just opened his eyes and said his objection, and then took back the power of selecting good ministers to the cabinet, their previous efforts would be in vain.
But until the end of the voting, Ma Shiying did not speak, or even opened his eyes.
After a long time, someone handed over his hand and reported to the emperor. The results of the vote came out, and Huang Daozhou should be included in the cabinet.
The fat man's feces-making machine yawned and asked Ma Shiying impatiently for his opinion. Ma Shiying didn't open his eyes until this moment, nodded lightly and said, "Zhu Dao has both virtue and talent, and he is indeed a good minister in the cabinet."
When Ma Shiying opened his mouth to speak, all the clear water lifted his heart in his throat. But when Ma Shiying finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded. Agreed, actually agreed! What exactly did Ma Shiying get so mad? No, there must be a conspiracy!
Before the Qingliu people could figure out where the conspiracy came from, they heard from Ma Shiying's cronies, Yang Wencong, the Minister of Punishment, who suddenly came out and said, "It has been more than five years since the southern crossing. The imperial court has been working hard to govern, and the national treasury is gradually becoming richer, and the soldiers and food are sufficient." The people of the north are in dire straits and miserable conditions They look forward to the king's army heading north every day. The plan now is to discuss the strategy of the Northern Expedition at this time,' and so on. That actually meant the Northern Expedition!
This is a huge conspiracy! All Qingliu screamed in their hearts Although they still haven't figured out what kind of conspiracy is behind Ma Shiying's proposal of the Northern Expedition. But they are the clear stream, they are the clear stream who act uprightly and act openly and aboveboard. Ma Shiying is just the opposite. So Ma Shiying isTheir enemies, so they would oppose everything proposed by Ma Shiying.
So an extremely strange scene appeared in the court. The Qingliu scholar-bureaucrats who had raised their arms and shouted in the past, "When will the Central Plains be conquered?" After finally maintaining an undefeated situation, how can we start the war lightly? How are the soldiers prepared? How much silver is there in the treasury? Will the governor of the world support it? One by one, problems that the Qingliu people had never considered at all were now being dug out, becoming stumbling blocks to the Northern Expedition.
¡°Obviously, Ma Shiying was already prepared. The Minister of the Ministry of War, who exercises the authority of the Minister of War, said that the Ming Dynasty now has a pure firearms army of 100,000! Ten thousand people defeated Azig that day, and a hundred thousand troops were enough to defeat Youyan. The Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs reported on the state of the treasury, patting his chest and saying that if the war ended within the year, it would definitely be able to support it; next came the Ministry of Works, and even The unrelated Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Husbandry all expressed that the time was ripe for the Northern Expedition.
Groups of data left Qingliu speechless, and in the end they could only pick out words to refute.
Ma Shiying, who had been calm before, finally spoke again, with a sarcastic sentence that left all Qingliu speechless: "You have been shouting for the Northern Expedition every day, but now that the Northern Expedition is around the corner, you are hampered everywhere. What are your intentions? Don't you want to? Will I revive the Ming Dynasty?"
After saying this, Qingliu didn¡¯t dare to speak casually. If he goes on to do so, he will definitely be charged with a crime that he hates. Not only did he lose his head, but the reputation he had worked so hard to accumulate was also ruined.
The newly promoted Pavilion Elder Huang Daozhou frowned, and finally had to reconcile with Xi Ni, saying that this proposal was rushed and he didn't know how the governors in the world would react. After all, it was time to mobilize the strength of the whole country and mobilize the soldiers, horses and labor from all over the country. It was too hasty for the imperial court to make a decisive decision.
Ma Shiying agreed with a smile. Just after going to court, a telegram flew along the radio waves to governors everywhere. Daming, which had been calm for a long time, was like a meteor falling to the ground, causing waves everywhere.
Zhongnan, the top floor office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
With his body sunken deeply into the sofa, his legs crossed, and a red apple in his hand, Congressman Chu Bai seemed to be thinking about something. He pointed the apple at the window, looked at the luster reflected by the sun on the surface of the peel, and said loudly: "You know, on the night of landing, I ate the last apple on the ship. I sighed while eating, I thought that It was the last apple I ever tasted. After that, I could only keep company with bananas, grapefruits, and coconuts. I hate tropical fruits, and they always feel too greasy when eaten."
After saying that, he opened his mouth wide and started chewing. While chewing, he said: "Tell me, what's the news recently The Ministry of Foreign Affairs actually didn't trouble Congress for a month. It's really strange."
"I will attend Monday's meeting" Shao Bei frowned, feeling as if he had fallen into Chu Bai's language trap. This guy wants to talk?
¡°And there are a lot of things.¡± He added.
¡°Tell me about it and see what it has.¡±
"Let me see." Shao Bei turned over the report to be submitted on Monday and said with a frown: "In February, Britain became a republic. Cromwell came to power It seems that the storm we caused It wasn¡¯t big enough, at least it didn¡¯t reach the British Isles. On May 19th, poor Charles I was guillotined. But the guy became famous, even though Charles I definitely didn¡¯t want to be famous in this way.¡±
"The war between the French and the Spanish is still going on, and people are dying on the front line every day. It is worth noting that the Spanish deliberately strengthened the number of musketeers and tried to use musketeers to resist the French attack. There is news that there seems to be a double-fire musket in the Spanish army that uses flint or a similar mechanism."
"Huh?" Chu Bai quickly became energetic: "You mean, our technology has been spread out?" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said angrily: "It must be those two literary young people!"
"I don't know about this." Shao Bei spread his hands: "But I am more inclined to another judgment When the world affects you, you are also affecting the world. Just look at the dresses of the girls, retro ladies Skirts have become mainstream. And it¡¯s in Central and South China, where the average temperature is 26 degrees. What the hell!¡±
Shao Bei¡¯s words made Chu Bai think deeply. But he soon got over the worries about leaks. So what about flintlock guns? In a few years, as long as Australians are willing, they can easily sweep away junior firearms enthusiasts with semi-automatic rifles.
So he sat back on the sofa again, raised his hand, and motioned for Shao Bei to continue talking.
"The situation in Annan remains the same. Oh, on Wednesday the guerrillas launched a successful attack, killing more than 20 soldiers of Zheng Zhilong, snatching four intact rifles, and destroying a bunker Actually, I suspect it was someone in the bunker. ?The tragedy caused by the soldier sitting on the ammunition box and smoking; Japan is the same as before, that is, it is a powder keg and the fuse is lit. The problem is we don't know how long the fuse is. Fatty Li was elected CEO and withdrew his stupid suggestion to turn Manila into a free port and -" Shao Bei turned the document to the end: "Shi Wenbo will arrive in Batavia in the near future to help the Ming Dynasty issue War bonds. "
