Domineering Daming

What is relatively clear is that the small countries and tribes around the Ming Dynasty are happy to see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

The Badalites of Mongolia are very happy. Only the strong Ming Dynasty can protect the weak Horqin.

North Korea is in danger of the Wa country and is extremely weak, so it needs Ming's protection very much.

The Satsuma Clan is even more so. Although Kawayama Jiushou has obtained the official position of Satsuma Shou and has been recognized by the Tokugawa family, he is still terrified, for fear that he will be found to be backed by the Ming Dynasty. Now that Ming Dynasty is so powerful, that little worry It was gone.

The happiest are the officials, gentry, and celebrities of Ming Dynasty. The strength of the army can mean that the foundation of the country is stable and the world is peaceful. This is what they are most happy to see!Although he restrained himself a little in front of Zhu Xu, he still pushed the cup and changed the cup, laughing unceasingly.

"Your majesty, I respect you..."

"Long live the emperor, may my Ming Dynasty last forever..."

Tang Wang, Ping Wang and others toasted Zhu Xu with smiles on their faces, and their tone was unusually respectful.

Zhu Xu drank a few glasses, put down his glass and said, "After the banquet, um, after two hours, King Ping, King Tang, and Xiong Wencan will come to my study."

All three of them looked slightly startled, and immediately said: "Yes."

This banquet is a buffer for these people to facilitate the following things.

Zhu Xu had an upset stomach, sat for a while, then stood up, turned and left.

I don't know how many people were staring at Zhu Xu. As soon as he left, almost everyone was startled. They all looked up at his back until he went out, but their eyes still couldn't be retracted. Countless meanings!

Zhu Xu didn't bother to pay attention to them, he wanted to recharge his batteries and wait for the next "battle"!

Those people in the restaurant naturally had King Tang and King Ping greet them, even so, the two of them were also battered, and they dealt with each other right and left.

Those "insignificant" people can naturally leave, and spread the word of this big show everywhere.

As for the people who stayed in the base, no one knew how many people were like ants on a hot pot, anxious and uneasy. They wrote secret letters and sent people to send them away, but they were still uneasy. They did everything possible to ask Ming Dynasty officials to ask around.

The martial arts performance in the Ming Dynasty will not be without purpose, but no one knows what it is. If they don't know, they won't be able to sleep at ease.

King Ping, King Tang, Xiong Wencan and the others supported each other, obstructed, appeased, and made wishes to try their best to calm these people down. Even the Dutch Governor Putmans kept asking for negotiations with the Ming Dynasty, and made a fuss in front of Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun is now sorting out Zhu Xu's recent speeches. These must be polished and sent to the capital after editing. The current cabinet and future history revision are all extremely important.

He was by Zhu Xu's side, and he knew very well the role of this martial arts performance, the most important thing was to deter!

To deter some small countries with evil intentions in the southeast peninsula, to deter the red-haired people, the Franji people, and to deter the restless people in Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Xu was sleeping, although he was tired, he was intentionally leaving those people alone and making them suffer, so naturally he didn't need to pay attention to it.

It was almost dark when Zhu Xu washed his face refreshed, changed his clothes, and walked out.

"Your Majesty." Standing beside Zhu Xu, Cao Huachun only said one sentence, and said nothing else.

Zhu Xu laughed, walked towards the study, and said, "Is it lively outside?"

Cao Huachun followed and said, "Yes, many people came to ask for an interview, and the Dutch are about to rush out."

Zhu Xu turned around and went into the study, sat on a chair, and said directly: "Well, let Yang Sichang, Dorgon and others go, and attack the Annan Zheng family as soon as possible. The speed must be fast, and the navy will also support them. Recover Annan!"

Cao Huachun understood Zhu Xu's meaning, bowed and said, "Observe the order."

Defeating the Netherlands and Spain's naval battles cannot show the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and this military exercise is not enough. It must be a battle that is hearty, destructive, and thunderbolt's lightning victory, in order to show the strength and thunderbolt methods of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table slowly, his thoughts turned.

In the north of the Ming Dynasty, there is basically no threat to the north of the Great Wall, and Chahar is still not able to make a flower, so it is considered safe.

In the Eastern Sea, only the Japanese kingdom can make trouble, but even if they don't close their doors, they are still no match for Ming Dynasty, so don't worry.

In the South China Sea, the main naval forces of the Netherlands and Spain were basically wiped out. Regardless of whether the negotiations were successful or not, the initiative was with the Ming Dynasty, and they no longer had the ability to plunder.

These small countries in the southeast are not at peace internally, they fight endlessly, their strength is constantly weakened, and they are unable to challenge the Ming Dynasty. Do your best to deal with internal affairs.

The "Little Ice River" is entering the most intense period. It will make the Ming Dynasty weaker and weaker from all aspects. At the same time, the "Jingzheng New Deal" of the Ming Dynasty is also entering a deepening and detailed stage. It needs to be done with great concentration and full strength. No distractions.

It took Zhu Xu six years to overdraw the national power of the Ming Dynasty, build a strong army, wipe out Jiannu, establish a navy, and defeat powerful enemies at sea, just to ensure that the weak period will not be disturbed and will not continue The endless wars or other things dragged Daming into a doom.

Now, it's the last step!

By subduing these countries in the southeast, the last potential threat of the Ming Dynasty was also reduced to a minimum, so there is no need to bother too much in the next few years.

"Call Tang Wang, Ping Wang, come on Xiong Wencan." Zhu Xu snapped his fingers.

"Yes." Cao Huachun turned around and sent someone to pass it on.

In fact, the three of them had been waiting for a long time. When they heard this, they quickly trotted over and saluted: "I see the emperor."

Zhu Xu was holding a teacup, and said with a smile: "Pingshen, how are you, have you been troubled enough?"

King Ping and Zhu Xu had a close relationship, with a friendly attitude of not fighting for anything and not being afraid, he said with a smile: "The emperor has known for a long time that the minister has been pestered by some envoys from Burma and Nanzhang for more than an hour, and he said later that he will go to Beijing Paying tribute, and wanting our cannons and warships later, how can these ministers decide..."

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said with an undiminished smile: "It's expected, hey, look at these, and listen to me while reading." He then picked up a few pieces of paper and handed them to the three of them. They were all transcribed and sorted out by Cao Huachun.

"Treat the north." Zhu Xu weighed his words and said, "Korqin has already integrated the military with our Ming Dynasty. What we need to do now is to integrate culture, politics, and trade. I will order the cabinet to promote Horqin to carry out system reforms and establish an academy. , followed by the opening of the mutual market, except for prohibited goods, all can be exchanged smoothly. Royal Bank, Huitong Commercial Bank, etc. have to set up branches in Horqin, the purpose is to integrate trade... As for Chahar, limited contact, still need to Containment comes first..."

What Zhu Xu wrote on the paper was very complicated, but what he said was relatively simple, but even so, the three of them still frowned when they heard it, feeling a little incomprehensible.

"North Korea, Satsuma, and Ryukyu are all handled in the same way."

Zhu Xu ignored them. He decided to build a huge "Great China Circle". Looking at the three people, he said: "The Maritime Trade Association will be completely liberalized, and will continue to establish sound business rules, which will promote their integration into our system. Daming, we also need to establish a joint naval fleet at sea..."

Regarding maritime trade, the Ming Dynasty has always held an attitude of indifference and practical restrictions. Now Zhu Xu wants to completely open it up. King Tang, King Ping, and Xiong Wencan are all traditional literati. Looking at the more detailed catalog of terms on paper , frowned and didn't speak.

"In short, in terms of military, politics, economy, culture, and commerce, we must unify and form a community of safety and security with Ming..." Zhu Xu calmly and slowly told the three of them. In fact, he just wanted to slow down. Slowly annexed, the north used Mongolian cavalry to guard against possible Russians, and built a powerful island chain on the sea to protect the inland!

"What about the southeast..."

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, and said in a slow voice: "The internal chaos, the lack of rules and regulations, and the abolishment of etiquette and law, they are all vassals of my Ming Dynasty, I can't tolerate it! But now is not the time to intervene, we have to take it slowly..."

The main reason is that the southeast peninsula is a mess, the territory is too large and too complicated, and the Ming Dynasty cannot blend in at this time, lest it will fall into the quagmire and cannot extricate itself.

Xiong Wencan and others did not speak. They have already seen the "Southeast Peninsula Strategy", which includes contacting "orthodoxy" and secretly supporting it; establishing a joint army and navy with other countries; strengthening trade, opening up mutual markets, and so on.

These are all small tricks. With some preparations, Daming is not short of money, but now he is short of food. Opening up the mutual market is a "robbery" with less cost and more effect for Daming!

In fact, at this time, Horqin, North Korea, Satsuma, and Ryukyu will all welcome Daming's "help". Promote implementation.

They are all facing threats, they need Da Ming's protection, and they need Da Ming's firm attitude!

The policy of the southeast peninsula is to use both hard and soft tactics, "deterrence" on the one hand, and on the other hand, to win over and divide: they dare not move when they are deterred by a strong military force, and at the same time they are looking for the pieces they need to use!

The water on the peninsula is very deep now, and Ming can't fight a large-scale battle that will take a long time, and there is not much benefit, so it is not worthwhile.
