There is no peace and marriage between the Han and Tang dynasties, there is no annual coin between the two Song dynasties, there is no peace and marriage, no land is ceded, and no compensation is paid.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is in the midst of a resurgence. The kings are saints and ministers are virtuous. The military generals are desperately trying to seize the opportunity to expand territory for the imperial court. Do you want to negotiate peace now?

Qi Mingguang was very disdainful: Red-haired Yi? You deserve it too!

"The Ming Dynasty will not negotiate peace with any enemy and tells the Hongyi people that they have no other choice unless they surrender!"

"If they don't surrender, Ming Dynasty will beat them until they surrender!"

Faced with the powerful Qi Mingguang and the current crisis situation in various colonies, the Hongyi people finally couldn't help but surrender.

The Hongyi people not only returned all the looted silk, porcelain, and tea, but also paid a large amount of compensation to Qi Mingguang to cover the economic losses and military expenses incurred by the Ming Dynasty during this period.

This amount of money is as high as three million taels!

This is not counting the various gains on those Red Yi warships!

Counting the gold and silver treasures on those Hongyi warships, the gold and silver alone would be no less than five million taels!

This harvest surprised Qi Mingguang.

Surprised by the harvest, he immediately issued strict orders to all ships to strictly prohibit private possession and seizure, and all proceeds were handed over to the main ship. He knew very well that with such a large harvest, there would definitely be someone below him who could not control it.

But Qi Mingguang knew better that it was even more impossible for the navy's gains to be concealed from the court!

Do you really think there are no royal guards in the navy?

The harvest of millions of taels of silver, as well as large quantities of silk, tea, porcelain, many artillery and muskets, and tens of thousands of Hongyi captives...

This battle will definitely make him famous in the Ming Dynasty, and the Holy Emperor and Yuan Fu will not treat him badly.

The current Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty before. Before the Tianqi Dynasty, or after Mingbao Zong Zhu Qizhen destroyed the three elite battalions of the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of the Ming Dynasty military generals plummeted, and they were always suppressed by civilian leaders.

This situation has never changed. It is normal for military generals to be suppressed, discriminated against and not taken seriously. Even if military generals can be knighted, their official positions are generally higher than those of civilian officials. These are useless.

Until the second year of Tianqi, the current emperor supported Prime Minister Zhang to implement the New Deal, organize and train the new army, and legislate to ensure the status of military generals, splitting civilian officials and military generals, allowing military generals to have independent status, and allowing military generals to receive the honor and respect they deserve.

From then on, the scholarly gentlemen of Donglin's old party could no longer suppress the generals, nor could they mobilize the generals, and the generals who led the new army to fight all the way were even less likely to pay attention to those so-called gentlemen.

As for whether a scholarly gentleman can make the emperor change his mind?

Just kidding, the emperor is not a scholar at all.

The new party and the new army are the foundation of the emperor.

Otherwise, why could the emperor promote the equal distribution of land and pay the grain to all, which offended the civil servants and the landlords and gentry? Is it because the civil servants and landlords and gentry did not listen to the emperor at all and wanted to manipulate the emperor to limit imperial power as before?

Therefore, in the Tianqi Dynasty, military merits would not be appropriated or ignored by civilian officials. The court valued military merits and generals. As long as you performed meritorious services, you would definitely be rewarded.

Of course, you can't violate military discipline.

This is also the reason why Qi Mingguang wants his subordinates to strictly observe military discipline and strictly prohibit embezzlement of money.

He has gained too much in this battle. Even with these captures in hand, his achievements will continue to rise. Feng Bo is stable. Now the core of the new army is opening up to him. How can he make a small mistake?

big?

After issuing the military order, Qi Mingguang also wrote a battle report and sent a clipper back to the court to report. Then he sent the gold and silver treasures to the Chinese army, where the staff counted the harvest and then contacted small countries in Nanyang to appease their emotions.

Dismiss the warships they sent to assist the Ming Dynasty.

As for how much gold and silver these small countries stole from the territory of the Hongyi people in the process, he didn't care.

After eating meat himself, these small countries who shyly approached me couldn't refuse a bowl of soup. After all, they were under the banner of cooperating with the king's master, and they all claimed to be loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

How to deal with these small foreign countries is not something he, a third-grade naval admiral, can decide. The imperial court has not given him this authority at all. His mission is just to fight and win.

When Qi Mingguang's battle report was delivered to the capital by fast ship, Ming Dynasty was excited again!

"Have you heard? The imperial court attacked the Red Yi people in Nanyang. Not only did they capture tens of thousands of Red Yi people, they also got millions of gold and silver!"

"Not only that, I heard that there are mountains of tea, porcelain and silk. If these are sold to the West, it will be worth countless money!

"It is said that Nanyang is rich, but now we have seen it. These Hongyi people have only been in Nanyang for a long time, and there are so many gold and silver treasures. In my opinion, the imperial court should have gone to Nanyang long ago!"

"That's right, I heard that all those small countries in Southeast Asia are extremely rich. This

How much does it cost!"

The people were talking a lot, the merchants were surprised that the business road had been opened, and the civil and military officials of the imperial court were aware of the unexpected surprise!

Millions of gold and silver!

A large amount of tea, porcelain and silk!

All the civil and military officials did the math, and each of them couldn't help but be surprised: Is this southern land so rich?
Chapter completed!
