After Zhu Hongyu heard this, he nodded in agreement and agreed with the plan proposed by Xu Bin.
Next, the civil and military ministers of the Ming Dynasty began to discuss the third matter in a tacit understanding.
The third incident came from Wu Sangui, including Wu Sangui's indulgence in wine and sex, and his spending a lot of manpower and material resources to build a palace in Chang'an.
And more importantly, Wu Sangui has begun to send troops to seize Henan and Hubei provinces.
"I originally thought Wu Sangui was a heroic figure, but now that I see it, that's all!"
"Before the great cause of the world was accomplished, he began to indulge in wine and sex!"
"How can such a guy with no self-control achieve anything?!"
Regarding Wu Sangui's current indulgence, Zhu Hongyu showed disdain on the surface, but in his heart he was full of envy.
That’s right, it’s just envy!
He really wants to be a foolish king!
As he is now, working hard on government affairs every day is really a tiring thing.
Exhausted physically and mentally!
But such envy only appeared for a moment, and was suppressed by Zhu Hongyu himself.
Zhu Hongyu is just a normal person!
He also has the laziness that others have!
It's just that he can control his desires very well.
Just like now, he envied Wu Sangui for being able to indulge in wine and sex, and to build a palace on a grand scale.
But he knows this is wrong, so he will never do it!
Although Zhu Hongyu wants to show off from time to time, his self-control is still quite good.
Perhaps this has a lot to do with his youth.
He knows that he will still have opportunities and time to enjoy himself in the future, so he can naturally control himself now.
If Zhu Hongyu is now Wu Sangui's age, his self-control may not be as strong as Wu Sangui's.
I am getting older and I don’t have many years left to live!
You must hurry up and enjoy it!
Senior officials from the Ming Dynasty's cabinet and the Five Military Governor's Mansion also spoke one after another.
"That makes sense!"
"Wu Sangui is really in trouble now!"
"Haha, God help me!"
After everyone was happy, Zhu Hongyu continued.
"It can be seen that Wu Sangui is bound to win the two provinces of Henan and Hubei!"
"War may be inevitable!"
"Send someone to send an order to King Li Jin of Myanmar, asking him to be ready to cooperate with our Ming Dynasty to launch an attack on Wu Sangui's troops!"
If Zhu Hongyu wants to beat Wu Sangui, he must not do it himself.
Li Dingguo of Myanmar is also one of the helpers he needs.
At that time, Li Dingguo sent troops to Yunnan and entered Wu Sangui's rear area where the troops were empty.
The Liberation Army went up the river and launched attacks on Wuchang, Huangzhou and other fortresses.
Under attack from two sides, Wu Sangui's troops may be wiped out in one go!
After talking about the third thing, Zhu Hongyu said.
"The fourth thing is the news from Myanmar!"
"The king of Burma, Mangbai, has colluded with the Dutch!"
The Dutch have always been very unwilling to do so after being expelled from the east of Malacca by the Ming Dynasty.
Supporting Burma this time to create obstacles for the Ming Dynasty is one of the recent major actions of the Dutch.
It is only because Myanmar has an outlet to the sea to the west of Malacca that it can better receive assistance from the Dutch, so it is taken more seriously and discussed on this occasion.
Similar things include the Dutch's secret support for Annan, their infiltration of indigenous forces in Batavia, etc...
Zheng Chenggong stood up and said.
"Your Highness, the Dutch red-haired barbarians are still evil towards me, the Ming Dynasty!"
"You should cut it down!"
“Or impose trade sanctions on it!”
In the Ming Dynasty, the status of businessmen is not high. Business must serve politics, which is not just talk.
If Zhu Hongyu ordered trade sanctions against the Dutch, he would certainly be able to do so.
Moreover, the intensity is definitely much stronger than the sanctions imposed by Yingjiang in the later Rabbit-Ying trade war!
Because the Parliament of the Takajiang family serves businessmen, and their businessmen may not necessarily take the orders of the Congress seriously.
But the merchants of the Ming Dynasty dared not to take Zhu Hongyu’s words seriously?
Want to know more about the Jiuzu Xiaoxiaole Package?
But, then again, there is actually no need for the Ming Dynasty to launch trade sanctions against the Dutch.
Because, in the trade between the East and the West, it was not only the Dutch who were reaping the benefits, but also the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Hongyu pondered for a while and then said.
“Trade sanctions are no longer necessary!”
"Now our Ming Dynasty conducts maritime trade with the West, and its main trading partners are the Dutch. If the Dutch are sanctioned, our Ming Dynasty's industrial and commercial development will also be affected."
"It's really not necessary!"
Of course, if Zhu Hongyu insists on imposing trade sanctions on the Dutch, it is not impossible.
Anyway, for the current Ming Dynasty, the main driving force for industrial and commercial development is the market in the mainland and the former vassal states of the Ming Dynasty in East and Southeast Asia.
The most important market here is undoubtedly the mainland of Ming Dynasty!
Then there are the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty!
Finally, there is the sea trade between the East and the West.
Trade with the Dutch is both important and important.
To say it's not important is actually just that.
Even if it breaks, it won’t have much impact on Daming!
But, it’s not necessary, is it?
Sanctioning the Dutch would have no real benefit to the Ming Dynasty. No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are just a piece of meat.
There is no need to struggle with money just for the sake of temporary anger!
If you really want to take revenge on the Dutch, after the Ming Dynasty regains the entire Central Plains, wouldn't it be more enjoyable to directly send the navy to remove the Dutch stronghold in India?
“Let’s turn to the story about the collusion between the Dutch and Myanmar for now!”
"When the Ming Dynasty ends its war on the mainland and completely regains its homeland, I will settle this account with the Dutch and Burma!"
Zhu Hongyu opened his mouth and gave instructions.
"The last thing is the news from Nanyang!"
"The United Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire have sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty, and they are now waiting to be received in Malacca."
Zhu Hongyu did not expect that Britain and the Ottoman Empire would send envoys.
Osman is easy to understand, and the relationship between Daming and Osman is already pretty good.
But what the British did really confused Zhu Hongyu.
You know, the British had a naval battle with the Ming Dynasty in Guangzhou Bay as early as the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty.
The scale was not large, and even according to the British's own records, the conflict was not regarded as a war.
But there is no doubt that in this first match between the Ming Dynasty and Britain, the British must have lost!
The reason why the British did not record that naval battle as a war was because they wanted to save face and were unwilling to admit that they had lost a battle with an Eastern country.
So I used Spring and Autumn brushwork!
It's not just the Chinese who can do things like putting money on their faces.
If they had not lost, the British would not have obediently paid compensation to the Ming Dynasty according to their robber character.
