These years of being the queen mother!

Regardless of which department the six departments are in, there is one minister, two assistants on the left and right, four to thirteen doctors, and different numbers of officials, foreign ministers, and principals...

Just like the Ministry of Officials, there are not many officials, but because it has mastered the appointment, dismissal, promotion, honor, and transfer of officials below the fourth rank in the country, it is the head of the six departments.

As for the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is in charge of land taxes, customs duties, lijin, public bonds, currency and banking affairs, so it has the largest number of officials and is considered the most lucrative department.The Ministry of War is in charge of military affairs and generals in the world, so the number of officials is average, and most of them are promoted by brave generals. Therefore, the atmosphere is the best step among the six departments!

In addition to his official position as the chief assistant of the cabinet, Shi Fenglai is also the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In addition, he has a good relationship with Xiong Tingbi, who is now a scholar of the Martial Arts Hall, who spends all day in the Ministry of War and acts as a mascot. In terms of food and salaries, he will personally intervene to ensure that there will be no slightest problem.

Shi Fenglai left the palace and went straight to the office of the Ministry of War.At this time, the Ministry of War happened to be Sun Chuanting in charge.Seeing that Shi Feng came in a hurry, Sun Chuanting guessed that something serious must have happened, so he couldn't help coming forward to ask.

"Master Shoufu, what's wrong with you!"

"Water, give me a sip of water first!"

Shi Fenglai took the teapot from one of the principals, drank it all up, and then calmly took out the bright yellow imperial decree from his bosom, and said in a loud voice. "The left servant of the Ministry of War, Sun Chuanting accepts the order!"

After Sun Chuanting knelt down on one knee, Shi Fenglai finished reciting the imperial decree heartily and vigorously, then turned to Sun Chuanting, who was obviously a little stunned, and said, "Bo Ya still hasn't accepted the decree."

Sun Chuanting, who came to his senses, immediately knelt down to receive the imperial edict.After carefully putting away the imperial decree, Sun Chuanting asked Shi Fenglai seriously. "Brother Shi, tell me honestly, how far the empress wants to investigate this matter."

"It's hard to say, the speed can only be controlled by you, Boya." As he spoke, worry flashed across Shi Fenglai's chubby face. "Your Majesty, what you mean is to deal with the matter as soon as possible before the envoys from Western countries come to Beijing to worship. It's just that the food and grass were intercepted. I'm afraid I also got a hand in it."

"Brother Shi means..."

Thinking of Hou Jin's new Khan Dorgon who married the widow of the former Khan Huang Taiji, Sun Chuanting's eyes flashed with enlightenment.It seems that Houjin has not given up on Daming, but the battle of Lushun suffered heavy losses and his vitality was severely damaged. He was temporarily unable to go south and could only cultivate his health and rest.But the heart of prying is not dead, so it will naturally lurk in the dark and engage in some conspiracy that is not on the surface.Although the Empress Dowager Yiyang's control over the country will not cause too much trouble, but to be honest, the Tartar's move is quite irritating.

Sun Chuanting, who had a good understanding of Shi Fenglai's hidden and unspoken meaning, quickly took office and cooperated with the factory guard to investigate the interception of grain and grass.At the same time, the Foreign Domain Academy, which is responsible for receiving foreign envoys, also welcomed envoys from various countries to stay.

As Empress Dowager Yang speculated earlier, the reason why envoys from various countries came to Beijing to pay homage was to allow the Ming Dynasty to open a large number of ports, trade with other countries, and free trade.

Originally, the Empress Dowager Yang and the young Emperor Zhu Cilin were a little bit concerned about the free trade proposals proposed by other countries, and they wanted to get some more benefits and agreed directly, but the Dutch envoys should never have proposed to allow the East India Company to lean on the Ming Dynasty. Sell ​​Fushou Cream.

Empress Dowager Yang, who has the memory of later generations and is proficient in history, naturally knew what it was. She changed her face on the spot and ordered all the Dutch to be expelled from the country. As a deputy, with a total of [-] navy, they rushed to Taiwan in a mighty manner, and they were caught off guard as if they directly hit the Dutch.

This approach can be regarded as an undeclared war. The Dutch who were caught off guard naturally jumped up and down, and strongly condemned Daming's move as immoral and unworthy of being a state of etiquette internationally.

You must know that the scholar-officials in Ming Dynasty are the most concerned about face. The Dutch made such a fuss, and the scholar-officials who felt that they were wrong were all speechless and ashamed to death. In the end, the little emperor Zhu Cilin, who was personally handed down by Queen Mother Yang, spoke with a smile.

"Etiquette depends on the object. The queen mother said that politeness must be divided into objects. People can reason and be polite with others, but for animals, hehe, there is no reason to talk about it. Don't look at my age Little, just want to fool me. What is Phlox ointment? If it is really a magic medicine, why don’t you Dutch people take it yourself. The queen mother said that it is possible to do business with other countries and free trade, but you can’t sell opium alone. Violators will be deported."

The rest of the envoys from various countries look at me, I look at you, and finally occupied Macau. Like the Netherlands, the Portuguese envoy, who was targeted by Queen Mother Yang and the little emperor Zhu Cilin who loves money, spoke not-so-fluent Chinese and spoke.

"Your Majesty Emperor Ming, the Dutch are indeed a little rude, but you sent the navy to attack Formosa Island without announcing it. Doesn't it conform to the definition of the international convention? Of course, if His Majesty the Emperor Ming doesn't understand the definition of the international convention, I will You can explain it to His Majesty the Emperor Ming in detail!"

The grape man's messenger spoke very sincerely, but the Empress Dowager Yang, who was good at guessing people's hearts, still heard a bit of arrogance from it. Obviously, he did not pay attention to the little emperor Zhu Cilin who was not yet ten years old.

"Formosa Island? The name the Dutch gave to Taiwan Island? Sure enough, people are shameless and invincible. After occupying Taiwan Island for several years, they regard Taiwan Island as yours." Queen Mother Yang sneered a few times, with a meaningful expression Raise a dimple.

"Empress Dowager, I don't mean that."

"No such meaning? Then you are seeking justice for the Dutch." Empress Dowager Yang looked at the envoys from various countries standing on the Golden Luan Hall with a hint of arrogance, and suddenly smiled.

"Thank you for reminding me. If you don't open your mouth, Aijia will forget that Haojingao is occupied by you Portugal. Although Haojingao is a small fishing village, the territory of Ming Dynasty is inseparable, so you Portuguese should immediately Withdraw from Haojingao, or maybe one day it will be bad to be sad, so I will send Daming’s ocean-going fleet to the port along the coast of Portugal, so that you Portuguese can experience the real etiquette of going to the country. Must be executed!"

Empress Dowager Yang has a good memory, but it is not just for reviewing history and comparing the present.Qi Chengzhi, with the full support of Empress Dowager Yang, has trained a navy that focuses on escort and naval warfare early on, and the number has been expanding. Up to now, the navy stationed in Penglai Port and Yuegang Port, as well as the coastal naval forces of various seaports The number has reached 60, not to mention that shipyards around the world have produced all kinds of ships with first-class defense and attack capabilities and ocean-going capabilities over the years. Not to mention the number of ships alone, they have surpassed the so-called Western Great powers, let’s just talk about the number of navies, hehehe, if we really want to fight a war, you will be exhausted, not to mention that the Ming navy still has a big killer in its hands, which is clearly marked the four oceans, seven continents, and all countries in the world. Detailed map.Not only Western powers are on the list, but North and South America, Australia, and southern Africa are also on the list... So this is the most basic reason why Queen Mother Yang got angry, overthrew Xu Xutuzhi's plan, and fought as she said!

Empress Dowager Yang's murderous words made the envoys from all over the world present, especially the Portuguese envoys who spoke well of the Dutch people, suddenly look ugly.

"Empress Dowager Ming, you are a threat!" the Portuguese envoy asked with a dark face.

"Threats? No, no, Aijia is just a kind reminder. After all, Haojingao is my Ming Dynasty's territory, not your Portugal."

Speaking of this, Queen Mother Yang smiled brighter and brighter.She deliberately paused for a while, and when she spoke again, she did not discuss the ownership of Haojingao, that is, Macau, but talked about the history of Portugal.

"Remember, Aijia, Portugal is still under the rule of Spain. I think it has no strength and ability to fight against me, Daming. Aijia knows well why you Portuguese are speaking for the Dutch. It is nothing more than fear of Aijia's attack After teaching the Dutch a lesson and recovering Taiwan, they then attacked you Portugal. Yes, you are right, that’s what Aijia thinks.”

Hey, is it appropriate to admit with such a smile like a flower?

The little emperor Zhu Cilin stared at Empress Dowager Yang with wide eyes, but saw Empress Dowager Yang slightly nodding at him, obviously signaling him to speak.After all, Zhu Cilin is the son of Empress Dowager Yang. Although he didn't understand what Empress Dowager Yang meant, it didn't prevent him from cooperating tacitly with Empress Dowager Yang. Only the little emperor Zhu Cilin said so.

"The reason why I let Da Ming's ocean-going fleet attack the Dutch is mainly because the Dutch are bullying people too much. You know the reason, so I won't repeat it again. Our Da Ming pays attention to etiquette and never takes the initiative, so you can relax and have fun with me." Daming started trade. Oh, yes, I forgot to ask, when will the Portuguese withdraw from Haojingao..."

At this time, the Portuguese envoy was in a state of confusion, and the reason was the string of words about Portuguese history and landforms that Queen Mother Yang had recited effortlessly.When the little emperor Zhu Ciyun asked when their troops would withdraw from Haojingao, the Portuguese envoy opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word. He could only look at the envoys from other countries with sweat profusely.

At this time, the Portuguese envoy had long lost his so-called gentlemanly demeanor, and his arrogance disappeared without a trace.Seeing him so uninterested, Zhu Cilin frowned, and spoke again.

"Now you have two options. One is to withdraw from Haojingao, or rent Haojingao with money."

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Yang looked at Zhu Cilin solemnly, and after receiving his shy smile, Empress Dowager Yang frowned, but she did not stop Zhu Cilin from speaking, and let him continue talking.

"Portuguese envoy, what's your answer!"
