Although it is said that the dynasty has changed, the new emperor has been pushed to the throne by the glory of victory after battle, and his prestige and strength are even more terrifying.

In a real rage, he slaughtered them, that would be a real slaughter!

"Your Majesty, this time we are here to see you, it is precisely for the affairs of Taiwan. The governor wants to emulate the Portuguese and settle in Macau, and pay rent to His Majesty regularly every year. If Your Majesty can give us Taiwan and Penghu to live in and open up trade. , Your Excellency Governor has something to say, you can also send a fleet to help His Majesty put down the rebellion!"

The translator immediately fell to his knees and spoke tremblingly.

Li Xiu sneered, and one sentence made the translator break out in a cold sweat.

"Taiwan, Penghu, you have a big appetite, or I will give you Ningbo Port and Yuekou Port again, or I will give you Guangdong and Fujian again!"

"Do you think Daheng is easy to bully? Is it easy to bully?"

"Does it mean that if I disagree, you will follow the example of the Portuguese in colluding with the rebels and interfering in our internal affairs?"

A series of questions directly made the interpreter's heart sink to the bottom.

This attitude is undoubtedly very obvious.

It is obviously impossible for them to achieve what they want on this trip.

After hesitating for a while, the translator conveyed Li Xiu's original words to the head of the envoy in charge of the interview, the vice-governor of Taiwan, Qiaoge.

After listening to the translation, Qiao Ge couldn't hide his anger. They were willing to pay so much for the land already occupied by them. This Daheng has such an attitude!

In the end, the translator had to bite the bullet and speak out under Georg's glare.

"Your Majesty, Taiwan has been occupied by the East India Company for a long time. Now that the Ming Dynasty has perished, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang have not yet submitted to your Majesty's rule. How can Taiwan belong to your Majesty's territory?"

"It's not part of His Majesty's territory, so why should Your Majesty be stingy? As long as Your Majesty agrees to give us Taiwan and Penghu to live in, we, the East India Company, will do our best to assist Your Majesty in putting down the rebellion..."

"presumptuous!"

"Bold!"

As soon as this remark came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had the same goal, which was rare. They yelled out one after another, and even the generals were already murderous.

"Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the subject of the king!"

"The vastness of the world is all Daheng's territory, and it is all under the illumination of His Majesty's Tianwei..."

"Your Majesty, these western barbarians are unfaithful, unrighteous, barbaric, and have hidden evil intentions, and their hearts can be punished!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order..."

Lai Zongdao's awe-inspiring righteousness and Kang's passion attracted the support of all the officials.

It wasn't until Li Xiu slowly got up from the dragon chair and looked down at the courtiers that the noise in the hall was boiling, then it fell silent instantly.

Li Xiu looked around at the turbulent ministers. He did not deny that the radical and rigid ethnic policy was harmful to a country. Raised national confidence!

These few things are gone, and it is not a matter of overnight to re-cultivate them, and it is even difficult to reshape them in dozens of hundreds of years!

If one day, Daheng dies, he also hopes that it will be a vigorous death. Even if it is a death, it will leave a strong and unyielding iron bone for this nation!

Instead of lingering in humiliation, leaving indelible pain and shame to this nation!

Thoughts flowed at this moment, and Li Xiu's eyes finally fixed on several Dutch envoys in the palace.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was also suddenly suppressed, and the overwhelming pressure enveloped several Dutch envoys.

"The Folangji people colluded with the rebels and wanted to separatize Macau. I have decreed that the army will be conquered. In Macau, the Folangji people will not be left behind!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiu stared at Georg who held his head up and looked unyielding, his voice was suddenly cold, as if he was speaking of an established fact.

"The soil of the ancestors cannot be compared with people!"

"You better get out of Taiwan obediently!"

"Otherwise, it won't be long before you know what it means to be the teacher of the king and what it means to slander the people and punish crimes!"

Speaking of this, when Li Xiu waved his hand, several large generals of Jinyiwei rushed into the hall, and immediately after, Wang Wu, who had just recovered from his injuries, also shouted: "Please retreat!"

In this situation, Georg obviously wanted to say something more, but in front of the big Han general Jinyiwei who surrounded him, he had no choice but to hold back the words that came to his lips, snorted coldly, and walked away.

"Non-my family, its heart must be different!"

As the envoy left, Li Xiu looked down at the ministers and said slowly: "The Francobots have repeatedly disturbed the sea area, been repelled many times and then made a comeback. Now the Francobots are colluding with the rebels and wantonly building castles and forts in Macau... "

"The same is true for this Dutchman. He has repeatedly violated borders, been repulsed many times, and took advantage of the chaos to occupy Taiwan. Now he wants to spy on Penghu..."

"Xi Yi has been spying on me for a long time, and his wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed!"

"As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. I ordered the Martial Academy to sort out the situation of the overseas western barbarians and compile it into a book. You can study it!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiu paused for a moment before saying: "The current situation in the world is completely different from the past."

"Through all dynasties, if you stabilize yourself and calm the troubles of the Hulu in the north, you can enjoy peace and create a generation of prosperity."

"But today's era is different from the past. Now the western barbarians are rampant overseas, just like the Netherlands, a small country in the west, but it uses its naval forces to swallow tens of hundreds of times the land for its use, plundering the wealth of the world To feed its native land..."

"This era has changed. As the central ministers of the court, you must not stick to the rules, and your vision should be more open..."

With these words, all civil servants couldn't hide their astonishment. It was hard for them to imagine that now that there were endless internal and external troubles, the eyes of the emperor had already been set overseas.

And the meanings between these words all reveal one meaning, that is, even if the internal and external troubles are quelled, the war will not stop...

Such a belligerent king... so... militaristic?

The civil servants kept silent and didn't dare to say more. All the martial arts heroes couldn't hide their excitement and were gearing up.

They don't care about so many things, as long as there are battles, they will have military merits, and if they have military merits, their status will always be aloof!

How could they not be happy!

Chapter 383 The Emperor's Statement

After a court meeting visited by foreign envoys, the direction of the government and the opposition suddenly shifted from endless internal and external troubles to overseas Western barbarians.

People are always very interested in new and novel things. In the past, the ruling and opposition parties have always treated the western barbarians with the attitude of barbarians.

It can be clearly seen just by the name Xiyi.

In this way, it is naturally difficult to know too much about Xiyi.

Li Xiu came from later generations to despise Xiyi, so naturally he would not be like this.

In fact, since the beginning of preparing for the Martial Academy, due to the nature of the Martial Academy, he has already looked overseas.

Then, after the problem of financial collapse appeared, he paid more attention to the overseas Western Yi.

Under his instruction, Jin Yiwei also dispatched a capable team to the sea and overseas to collect information on the overseas Western Yi.

This information was also collected early in the martial arts academy and compiled into a book, which is a compulsory course for the students of the martial arts academy.

Therefore, in fact, in the army, the understanding of the overseas Western Yi countries is actually much better than that of the civil servants in the court.

Now, the detailed information of the Western Yi kingdoms was officially placed in front of the officials of the ruling and opposition parties following the booklet issued by Li Xiu.

It was also the first time that Xiyi's true veil was clearly revealed in the ruling and opposition parties.

Only then did people realize that besides Ming Dynasty, those Western Yi countries that were despised by the world had already developed to the point where no one could despise them.

They are all small countries, develop huge navy, and plunder the world.

Such a bloody way of growth and development undoubtedly refreshed the cognition of many courtiers.

However, in this era, those who can gain a foothold in the center of the court can't see the aggressiveness of the bloody development of the overseas Western Yi kingdoms.

From the far west to Daming, tens of thousands of miles along the way, I don't know how many lands and ethnic groups were plundered by these Western barbarians.

You only need to think about it a little bit, in the past few decades, the Western Yi kingdoms have stirred up wind and rain in the Daming sea area, and you can clearly see the Western Yi kingdoms' covetousness for Daheng.

Of course, this is only secondary. Even though the Western Yi kingdoms developed aggressively and aggressively, no one would think that the Western Yi kingdoms could pose too much threat to Daheng today.

What attracts the most civil and military attention is the extremely exaggerated overseas wealth described in the book.

If it is something else, maybe some people will question it, but this point, any questioning, seems to be powerless.

After all, it's not tens of thousands of miles away, and you have to experience the infinite dangers in the vast sea!

Without great benefits, who would be willing to act like this?

No one would naively think that these western barbarians have been stirring wind and rain in the sea for decades because of the order of a certain monarch.

Even, for many civil servants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, these things seem to be well known. After all, in the coastal areas, no one would have any business involving maritime trade.

No matter how clean and honest they are, they cannot avoid family business involvement.

Under such discussions, an extremely obvious fact was undoubtedly revealed.

That is today's day, which has already revealed an extremely clear strategic tendency.

That is the ocean!

The emperor, who started from the humble beginnings and ruled the world with military affairs, is no longer willing to quell internal and external troubles and create a generation of prosperity like the past dynasties.

It is not simply to promote martial arts like the voyages to the West during the Yongle period, but to completely break the sea ban like the western barbarians.

In the midst of the sudden uproar, to many Jiangnan literati, this is undoubtedly bad news that couldn't be worse.

Everywhere, there are factions. In today's Jiangnan, although there are those who fan the wind and ignite the fire, and stir up the wind and rain, there are naturally those who muddle through and are unwilling to tear themselves apart with Daheng.

But no matter what he thinks, the emperor's statement undoubtedly clearly proves that this Daheng will go to the sea.

The ocean, the sea frontier, is originally a disordered and unregulated place, but today's maritime merchants are either powerful pirates themselves, and they are in a state of disorder.

Or, it is to use the policy of sea ban, rely on power, and monopolize sea trade.

Or, it is a maritime merchant attached to the power.

Other than that, there is no other class!

And once the imperial court officially enters the arena, it will inevitably completely break the original order, and all legal orders will also be reshaped.

New powerful forces will enter the arena, and they, the remnants of the old order, will inevitably be ruthlessly swept into the garbage dump.

It seems that for the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, the only thing that is fortunate is that the emperor seems to have expressed his position too early. In today's world situation, they still have a very tolerant choice.

But it is also because the Son of Heaven made his statement too early, which makes people feel that this is still a distant event. After all, the current situation in the world is full of internal troubles and foreign enemies are flourishing. thing.

It is even unknown whether this great constant can survive.

Under such circumstances, the turmoil caused by the western barbarians came and went quickly.

It seems that the only effect is to let the government and the public have a comprehensive and clear understanding of the Western Yi kingdoms for the first time.

Beyond that, it seemed, only heightened the turmoil in the hearts of the people.

"The human heart is the hardest thing to control..."

In Qianqing Palace, Li Xiu was holding a sealed memorial, and said with emotion.

The reason why he made a statement to Haiyang at such an early stage was not only a statement, but also a way to let the courtiers know more about Xiyi.

The most important thing is that he, the head of the Wu Xun Group, gave the entire Wu Xun Group a reassurance.

From ancient times to the present, Chinese people's obsession with land is indescribable.

Whether it is a scholar, a farmer, a craftsman, or a merchant...

In this era, anyone in this nation, as long as their family is a little rich, will try their best to buy land. Those with more spare money even have hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of acres of land.

But there is only so much land. Even though there is land reclamation every year, those who are capable of land reclamation are definitely not ordinary people at the bottom.

The consequences of land annexation are naturally very clear.

The demise of all dynasties is almost always related to it.

Naturally, Li Xiu didn't want the Daheng land annexation to happen again, but no matter what policy he used to stop it, it could be said that he went against the will of the people.

Anything that goes against people's will will inevitably cause chaos, and when chaos occurs, he must also need a strong and firm support for him.

And the army he created with his own hands is naturally the first among them.

However, in a sense, the Wuxun Group he created, in this era, is the impact of the newly rising military forces on the old order.

Wu Xun is also a person, and soldiers are also people, and their obsession with land and wealth is no less.

The people at the bottom can be restrained by laws, and civil servants can also be oppressed and restrained by strict systems.

But the military generals who broke out from the pile of dead people, the generals who made great contributions to him, and the generals who supported him with this monstrous power, naturally cannot be restrained by one order. lift.
