546 The inner response of the inner response (for the second month and one thousand months
For a small country, more than 500,000 military households are impoverished, which is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty in the past. The military could not afford to pay, but it produced so many thieves who could be beaten.
Regarding such a matter, he really wanted to know how the Japanese people over there solved it?
After hearing this, Liu Weichao immediately replied: "Actually, it is very simple. It is just to create jobs so that the unemployed warriors can have food to eat. He has introduced a lot of incentives to encourage those warriors to give up dancing with swords and guns and go to work."
Do other things. For example, raise goldfish, plant flowers and plants to sell, raise crickets, etc.”
"Is it that simple?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be very surprised when he heard this.
If this is all right, it would be too unlucky for him to become the king of the country in the original history!
Liu Weichao heard what he said, saw his expression, and understood what he was thinking, so he smiled and said: "You look simple, but in fact it is not simple. There is a premise for this matter, that is, Tokugawa Iemitsu has mastered the concept of loyalty.
His army has military power and a large number of capable warriors loyal to him. If you think about it, if he can successfully reduce the vassal, he must have the military strength to overwhelm other vassal kings."
"Oh, that's it!" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but suddenly realized that this was the key!
He has already deeply understood the saying that political power comes from the barrel of a gun.
With the help of Liu Weichao, the money he had confiscated was directly used to strengthen the army. It was only after the two elites, Yongweiying and Jingying, were reorganized that the situation gradually improved.
As he was thinking, Liu Weichao was still explaining to him: "This Tokugawa Iemitsu, or the generals of the first three generations of the Tokugawa shogunate, have constantly strengthened their own strength and weakened the strength of the feudal lords in various places, and finally reached the level of morality.
The purpose of the Sichuan family’s stable rule.”
After a pause, he continued: "The country is closed to the outside world. In fact, in simple terms, the Japanese country is an island country and lacks materials. Only by trading with foreign countries can the economy develop rapidly and make money. He does not allow other vassal kings to interact with foreign countries.
Trade, only he can trade. If other vassal kings have no money, but he has money, how can he fight with him?"
"Also, he thought of ways to spend the money of vassal kings from various places, such as asking them to pay for repairs, or asking them to pay tribute to their capitals. It would cost a lot of money on the way, and he would be away from him for about half a year.
territory, which in disguise weakened the lord's control over his own territory. All these measures, etc., are to stabilize the rule of their Tokugawa shogunate."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded. He understood what he said.
This Tokugawa Iemitsu is really a capable person.
Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen thought that he wanted to be the emperor for eternity and the leader of the earth. It was a bit stressful to conquer such a king! As Liu Weichao said, the best way is to draw out the Japanese army as much as possible.
It would be better to eliminate it!
However, if we go by the situation introduced by Liu Weichao, Tokugawa Iemitsu will probably not join forces with Kenlu. Because this man's ambition is not external, but internal!
With this in mind, Emperor Chongzhen once again asked Liu Weichao for advice: "Then you say, if I want to conquer the Japanese country, I will eventually have to land in the Japanese country and fight?"
After hearing this, Liu Weichao did not answer immediately, but was thinking about this question.
Not to mention, with the information he had, an idea suddenly jumped into his mind.
So, he smiled and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "We can be more proactive. Then maybe the Japanese country will really form an alliance with Jianlu, and maybe we can lure the snake out of its hole!"
"Oh?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and asked quickly, "Why take the initiative?"
Liu Weichao said with a smile: "I think this matter can be settled on Zheng Zhilong!"
"Zheng Zhilong? Why?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused after hearing this, so he could only continue to ask him.
After hearing this, Liu Weichao didn't rush to explain. He went to the computer to search. After looking at Zheng Zhilong's information, he explained to Emperor Chongzhen: "Zheng Zhilong is not so much a pirate as he is a maritime businessman."
, in the early years, I traveled all over the surrounding countries and became proficient in Japanese, Dutch, the language of the Red Yi, and Spanish, the language of the Western Yi who occupied Luzon..."
Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised when he heard this. He had not known about this situation before, so he listened carefully.
"In his early years, Zheng Zhilong stayed in the Japanese country for a long time, helping one of the most powerful Ming people in the area named Li Dan to do business. It can be said that he had a great influence on the Japanese country. He even interacted with the previous generation.
I have a very good relationship with Shogun Tokugawa Hidetada. In addition, I also have a very good relationship with some local lords. After all, he is in business, the God of Wealth."
Having said this, he smiled and said: "Let me tell you one more thing, and you will understand how famous he is in Japan!"
"What's going on?" Emperor Chongzhen heard this with great interest. As an emperor, his heart for gossip was also burning.
After he asked, Liu Weichao answered him: "Zheng Sen's mother, Zheng Zhilong's wife, is from the Japanese country and the daughter of a local vassal king."
"Oh..." When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he really got to know Zheng Zhilong again.
A very simple imagination, replace the Japanese country with the Ming Dynasty. You must know that the situation of the Japanese country is a bit similar to the Hongwu period. At that time, the vassal kings all over the country had military and political power. There was a person who made good friends with Emperor Taizu.
, he also had a very good relationship with the vassal kings from various places, and even married the vassal king’s daughter. Then this person’s influence in the Ming Dynasty was definitely very great!
While he was thinking about it, Liu Weichao continued to say to him: "That Li Dan, he considered his adoptive father. He had no children. After his death, he gave him all his property. There were 700 ships alone. You can imagine,
Such a wealthy man in the Japanese country also gave him his property. From this point of view, it can also prove how much influence he has in the Japanese country, right?"
After listening to his introduction, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect that he would be so capable after starting from scratch. It turns out he has such an experience!"
To be honest, at this time, he felt that he had underestimated Zheng Zhilong before. Speaking with conscience, Emperor Chongzhen thought that if he were Zheng Zhilong, he might not have achieved as much as him.
While he was thinking about it, Liu Weichao said to him again: "So, if we ask Zheng Zhilong to help the Manchus, that is, to persuade the Japanese to agree to form an alliance with the Manchus and encourage the Japanese to send troops, there will probably be trouble!"
Having said this, he thought for a moment and then added: "I believe that with Zheng Zhilong's ability, it should be possible for him to help with this!"
Emperor Chongzhen was very happy after hearing this. But as soon as he was happy, he immediately remembered something and asked Liu Weichao worriedly: "But what if this thing backfires?"
After he finished speaking, he found that Liu Weichao seemed to be puzzled, so he quickly added: "What I mean is that if Jianlu and our country are added, and this Zheng Zhilong is added, if he intends to trick me, the three parties of their power will
If they are combined together, it will be difficult to deal with them, and will they shoot themselves in the foot?"
After a pause, Emperor Chongzhen said with a slightly uncertain tone: "How about asking him to send someone, or take someone as a hostage?"
Liu Weichao is from a different world, so there is nothing bad to say about him. Therefore, he can say whatever comes to his mind.
After Liu Weichao understood his concerns, he couldn't help laughing and said: "No, I don't think you need to worry at all!"
"Why?" Emperor Chongzhen asked a little doubtfully after hearing this.
In his opinion, this Zheng Zhilong can start from scratch and create such a big foundation. He is definitely a tycoon. If such a person has the opportunity, he will definitely not be willing to succumb to it, right?
After listening to his question, Liu Weichao explained to him: "Your worries may have been possible if the world was in chaos fifteen years before Chongzhen. But now, the world has basically been pacified by you.
Needless to say, the Prime Minister of Zhongxing. There is no doubt that the Ming Dynasty was powerful, which forced the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to seek an alliance with the Japanese. As for the navy, although now, Zheng Zhilong is indeed the strongest. But don’t forget, you have
Steam warship!"
At this point, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen was listening seriously, so he added: "This Zheng Zhilong is actually a businessman in essence. He has seen steam warships and absolutely knows that the world will be dominated by steam warships in the future. He can behave well now
Being obedient must have been calculated, and surrendering to the imperial court is the greatest benefit he can gain."
Seeing Emperor Chongzhen nodding his head, Liu Weichao added the last point: "In the original history, he finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which actually shows that he has no ambition to dominate the world. As long as you give him a secret decree, Xu
With certain benefits, he will definitely listen."
Imagining that Zheng Zhilong, who was once so powerful, could only listen to himself now, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel happy again, and nodded and said: "Okay, I think you are right, then let's do this, let him help Jianlu
A handful."
Hearing this, Liu Weichao smiled and said: "Haha, let the Manchu and Japanese think that Zheng Zhilong can be their internal agent. It turns out that Zheng Zhilong is the internal agent of the internal agent. When the time comes, you stab them in the back and you kill the Manchu and Japanese.
Much easier!”
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but get even more excited, and immediately said: "This is a good idea. Okay, I want to figure out how to do this! By the way, Li Ruolian has returned to Beijing. I asked him to be responsible for this matter.
It’s no problem!”
Among the factory guards, relatively speaking, Jinyiwei had more comprehensive management. Before the Japanese invasion of Korea happened, Jinyiwei had passed the news back in advance.
