What you have to do is how to make this country strong, advanced, and prosperous. The increase in national power will make your country a superpower to the greatest extent!
Most people in the cabinet still sided with Song Xianji and Ou Jue. After a heated discussion, Qin Yun announced the cabinet's decision:
Stopped the trade between the long-distance trading fleet and Mexico, and at the same time declared dry wax as an "enemy". [High quality update.] The dry silk fleet and the dry silk people will no longer receive any guarantee of life and property within the Huben Guard's sphere of influence.
Ding Yunyi smiled when he heard this resolution. He knew that his pirate alliance was busy again.
Speaking of the Pirate Alliance, the scope of activities of this organization personally commanded by Ding Yunyi has become wider and wider. Not only did they directly participate in the Tiger Guards' attack on Malacca and Batavia, but they also further extended their sphere of influence.
I heard that the pirates from the farthest reaches of Mexico have carried out activities and plundered wantonly.
Originally, Ding Yunyi had planned to solve the pirate problem, but as the pirate fleet deepened, he temporarily put aside this idea.
If we can wreak havoc on the West, this might not be a bad thing.
"The next bill is the military budget for this year proposed by Wu Liehou Ding Yunyi." When Qin Yun said this, everyone fell silent.
Any decision made by Wu Liehou Ding Yunyi in the past was made by him alone. But now it suddenly has to be handed over to the cabinet for discussion, which is really uneasy.
Qin Yun glanced at Ding Yunyi. Seeing Ding Yunyi nodding at him encouragingly, he became more courageous: "Wu Liehou Ding Yunyi's budget for this year is twelve million taels."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place burst into murmurs.
Cai Qizhen is the oldest among these people, and she gave Ding Yunyi great help in his early days. At the same time, his son was on an expedition and was the backbone of the Tiger Guard. If anyone could raise an objection, it was him.
Cai Qizhen cleared her throat: "Everyone, although the economic conditions in Fujian, Taiwan and other places are running well. There are also several colonies to support it, which can be said to be a rolling in of financial resources, but I think the military expenditure of 12 million taels is still too high. . Last year¡¯s expedition to Japan cost only more than eight million taels. I don¡¯t know what Wu Liehou meant by the sudden increase.¡±
Everyone¡¯s eyes fell on Ding Yunyi.
Ding Yunyi knew it was time to speak: "Members of Congress, yes, last year's expedition to Japan cost millions of taels, and most of the military expenses were borne by Luzon, Siam, and Myanmar. Ah, there are also some expenses A little commotion"
As soon as this was said, all the congressmen laughed. The little commotion that Wu Liehou said was caused by excessive exploitation, and there were also some incidents of suppression.
¡°Finally, the people in these three places were quite submissive, and no particularly serious bloodshed occurred.
Ding Yunyi continued: "But this year, the shipyard will be expanded more than three times, the firearms bureau will be expanded more than six times, and the existing Tiger Guards will complete a comprehensive update of equipment within two years. Not only that, I will also Expanding the army by 200,000 and the navy by 100,000 will require a lot of money!"
Some congressmen exclaimed.
The scale of what Wu Liehou has to do is really too big. Not to mention the shipyard and firearms bureau, the army alone will expand to 300,000 people. What on earth does he want to do?
"In order to cope with the upcoming war." Ding Yunyi emphasized his words: "I think you all know the news that Luoyang has been captured, right? I predict that the rogue bandits will definitely attack the capital within three years "
"What?" Several congressmen couldn't help shouting.
"Within three years, the rogue bandits will definitely reach the capital!" Ding Yunyi repeated his words seriously: "It is already difficult for the imperial army to stop the rogue bandits. At the same time, great changes will inevitably occur outside the pass. Our Ming Dynasty is in danger, and the country is about to fall. Disaster is imminent! Who can rely on to support the overall situation? The only one we can rely on is our Tiger Guards! Congressmen, when that time comes, we, the Tiger Guards, will have to deal with both the rogue bandits and the Qing army. How can our current strength be enough? Only continuous expansion can achieve the goal. Some people may not believe that it is possible to use Fujian to deal with the world? We have not only Fujian, but also so many colonies. We still have the morale of the military and the people!¡±
Everybody?Listening attentively to Ding Yunyi's words:
"Twelve million taels is indeed a huge sum of money, but it is actually not enough. I have ordered our Huben guards stationed in Japan, Luzon, Siam, Myanmar and other places to escort 10 million taels to Fujian before June. This is a death order. If anyone is short of one or two silver in the assigned task, then you can take it for yourself. As for the source of troops, there have been many refugees pouring into Fujian in the past two years. In addition to the needs of Fujian's construction, I will also start from Fujian. A large number of them are recruiting new soldiers to complete my 300,000-strong army expansion plan. Today I will submit this budget to the cabinet. I hope the cabinet will approve it. The peace of Fujian will not be the peace of the world. Sooner or later, we will protect Fujian. All will be destroyed.¡±
These words were deafeningly heard in everyone¡¯s ears.
"I agree." Qin Yun was the first to say.
When the voting began, more than 90% of the members voted in favor, and another 10% voted against it. The military budget was passed.
Cai Qizhen suddenly said: "Marquis Wu Lie, I still vote against it."
Ding Yunyi smiled and nodded: "Actually, you don't have to tell me. Now that I have established a new cabinet, it is up to you to decide whether you agree or oppose my proposal without worrying about my angry revenge."
Cai Qizhen and those members of the opposition also showed happy smiles
At the first cabinet meeting, a total of eight proposals were voted on, six of which were passed and two were rejected.
¡°This is already a huge improvement in Ding Yunyi¡¯s view.
When the cabinet meeting ended, Ding Yunyi, Qin Yun, and Cai Qizhen stayed behind. Cai Qizhen suddenly smiled and said: "Master Hou, you asked me to vote veto on your proposal, which puts me in a difficult position."
"Thank you, Mr. Cai." Ding Yunyi also said with a smile: "Among these members, Mr. Cai is the oldest. If Mr. Cai doesn't do this, who else would dare to do it? I have to do it as a last resort. . Not all of my thoughts, Ding Yunyi¡¯s, are correct. The words of one family are not as good as those of the listeners. The emperor who is above us cannot hear them"
"Speaking of the emperor, I have some thoughts." Qin Yun said: "Since the Marquis is so sure that there will be big changes within three years, are the Marquis prepared to save him or not?"
Ding Yunyi fell silent for a moment
"Save. Our arms can't stretch that long." Qin Yun helped him answer the question: "And our Tiger Guard soldiers may not be willing to save unless"
"Unless what?" Ding Yunyi asked.
"Unless Third Brother becomes the emperor himself!" Qin Yun became anxious and said the word "Third Brother" again: "We conquered Luzon and Japan last time. The imperial court already knew about it, and I heard that the imperial court was furious ¡±
"That's right!" Ye Yuan, who had never spoken at the cabinet meeting, said: "I got the information from my colleagues in the capital. It is said that the emperor said this, 'Ding Xiangwen is so bold, without the court's approval. With permission, he sent troops without permission. Did he want to rebel? I will not kill Ding Xiangwen, and I will not be a human being.' Originally, I was prepared to hold him accountable, but the situation in the court suddenly changed, and Li Ni Zicheng, Zhang Ni Xianzhong and others rebelled. The thieves are plundering all over again, and the situation at the border has become tight again, so I have no time to interfere with our Fujian affairs. After all, I still don't want to be in such a mess again. What a big change."
He glanced at Ding Yunyi and found that he had no expression, so he continued:
"But this is not a long-term solution after all. We are doing our own thing in Fujian and are incompatible with the imperial court. In fact, we have violated the imperial court's taboo. The generals of the Huben Guards. And officials from Fujian, Taiwan and other places, many people They all have the idea of ??supporting your independence.¡±
"Self-reliance, self-reliance." Ding Yunyi sighed softly: "Where do I stand? In the eyes of others, except for the imperial court, I am a loyal minister. Once I stand on my own, my reputation will collapse in an instant. Although our Ming Dynasty is in war, There is chaos everywhere, but do you know how many people are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty? How many people would rather die with the Ming Dynasty than become a traitor? Once I stand on my own feet, how many people are willing to listen to us, except for us in Fujian? Apart from that, if we really stand on our own, I am afraid that the crusade will arrive soon, and then my Ming Dynasty will have another civil strife. "
Several people nodded slightly as they listened.
Ding Yunyi suddenly smiled and said: "I won't do it when I am independent, but it is barely acceptable for me to be a regent in the future."
Regent? Several subordinates muttered silently in their hearts.
"Dad, dad." At this time, Ding Yunyi's five-year-old son Ding Xingsi was jumping around under the leadership of Han Xiaoxiao.??Come here.
Seeing his son, Ding Yunyi showed a smile on his face and hugged his son: "Everyone, what do you think of my son?"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "I think that although Xingsi is young, his behavior has already vaguely resembled that of the third brother, and he will definitely become a big deal in the future."
"Yes, the tiger father has no sons." Ding Yunyi said boldly, completely ignoring Han Xiaoxiao rolling his eyes: "But what do you think will happen to Xingsi's son?"
Where are the subordinates stunned? Xingsi's son? Wu Liehou may not have thought too far ahead.
"Xing Si's son may still be very good, but what about his son's son?" Ding Yunyi asked again: "It's an old saying that you can't get rich for three generations. Our generation is full of bloodshed, fighting in the north and south, and we know all this. Nothing comes easy. But our descendants may not have to experience this again. For example, Xing Si, he is my son. He knows that his father is not easy, so he may cherish it, but his son may not think so. . The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu, passed down the empire from generation to generation, and his descendants became more and more disdainful. In fact, which generation in the past has not been like this? After the founding of the country, there was an absurd and mediocre emperor. It might be destroyed in an instant.¡±
"Does Third Brother mean that the emperor is not good?" Qin Yun asked tentatively.
"No, the emperor system is not necessarily bad." Ding Yunyi put down his son and said: "But it needs to be slightly improvedor to limit the emperor's rights"
The subordinates knew that Wu Liehou must have his own ideas in his mind.
At this time, a drought thunder struck in the sky. Ding Yunyi stared at the sky blankly: "The storm is coming."
Everyone knew what he meant. The storm is coming, it is unstoppable, and it can completely submerge everything in an instant.
The country of Ming Dynasty is also swaying in this storm, and a huge empire is about to collapse.
Chongzhen was a good emperor. Ding Yunyi knew that although he was a subjugated emperor, which was an undeniable fact, he was a subjugated king who would not be scolded.
Let¡¯s take a look at some of the famous kings who lost their country in history. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at the end of the Han Dynasty was weak and incompetent. Chen Shubao, the empress of Chen, was a shameless and famous emperor
Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was as famous as Qin Shi Huang as a tyrant. Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was good at women's hands. How many times had he ever seen fighting? Although he had good words, it was at the cost of three thousand miles of land and mountains. In the end, he disobeyed his orders and could not even keep a small queen. The two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong and Li Yu, were closely related. Historically, these people have received more rebuke than sympathy.
But Chongzhen is different.
Li Zicheng, who had led him to rebel for more than ten years, said of Chongzhen: "The king is not very dark, isolated but has many ambitions; the ministers are all private, but less loyal than the party."
Li Zicheng had a sworn feud with Emperor Chongzhen, but what he said in this paragraph was extremely polite. It was clearly an elegant saying that "the king is not the one who will subjugate the country, but all the ministers will be the ministers of the subjugation of the country."
Even Li Zicheng thought this way, let alone others.
"I inherited the great power with my cool virtues, but I did not expect to rely on bandits. There were three entrances to the border. In the seven years since the bandits, the masters and disciples were exposed, and the common people were separated. The country's funds were in short supply, but the adjustment was not over. The palaces were withered, and It's hard to stop Jiadi. I think about it in the middle of the night, and I feel ashamed and angry. Now I have sent troops to protect Yuan Yuan. I am thinking of him deeply because he is a civil and military official who works hard and is hungry. I can't bear to sleep in the deep palace. I don't want him to drink water and eat well, and I can't bear to enjoy the delicious food alone. Le, the only thing to do is to perform rituals in green clothes, and share the joys and sorrows with the civil and military officials in our profession. Until the day when the enemy is defeated, the civil and military officials in their provinces will be diligent and diligent, and use their heart to save the lives of the people. "
This is a sinful edict that Emperor Chongzhen once issued, and how many emperors were able to do what he did!
What a pity, God is too unfair to such a good emperor!
