Chapter 425 Whether to take action to destroy the country of Java

The news that Java declared war on the Ming Dynasty also reached the capital at this moment. When Zhu Youxiao learned about it, he couldn't help but laugh.

Towards a group of cabinet officials, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that the Java Congress declared war directly on our Ming Dynasty. No matter whether he was arrogant or deliberately bluffing his power to show his national prestige, since he had declared war, we cannot be perfunctory. When we take out all the Ming Dynasty's military strength to fight this Java country, we will not return to the army if we are unfair!"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Qian Qianyi stood up and bowed directly and said, "Your Majesty, Java is just a small country and a barbarian country. Because the crown prince was beheaded in the market by our Ming Dynasty, the king declared war. It was nothing more than to calm the hearts of the people in the country. If Your Majesty makes a big move for this, it will only be a waste of people's wealth. Therefore, the minister dared to advise and ignored the crazy and perverse actions of the small overseas countries."

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that Qian Qianyi would stand up directly to his mind, so he was a little surprised even though he was a little disliked by his views.

At this time, Li Mingrui also stood up: "Your Majesty, I dare not agree with Mr. Qian. No matter whether this Java country really wants to invade our Ming Dynasty, as long as he has declared war, it will provoke the dignity of our Ming Dynasty, and ignore the position of the sect leader of our Ming Dynasty, and deserve punishment! What's more, Your Majesty has stated long ago that Java country is the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and the Du family of Java country is originally a group of thieves and bandits, driving away and massacring our overseas peoples of the Ming Dynasty, and stealing the territory of our Java country for many years. Now is the best time to restore its Han system. It is when the war is fought, how can we not fight!"

Li Mingrui's words were exactly in line with Zhu Youxiao's intention, but Zhu Youxiao did not make any obvious statement, but he did not expect Qian Qianyi to stop his military strategy.

But Qian Qianyi did not notice Zhu Youxiao's displeasure at this time. He had already determined to fight against Li Mingrui, so he completely ignored the intentions of taking into account the above. Therefore, he directly refuted: "Your Majesty, please report carefully that our Ming Dynasty has now been eliminated, and the Jiannu and Mongolian people can no longer pose a threat to our Ming Dynasty. The giant gangster Zheng Zhilong, who has also fled to the East. After the Western Expedition, he even recovered the Hami Guard. However, the military expenditure inside the pass was high, and the collusion between officials and businessmen has caused the people's lives to be miserable. If it is not curbed, I am afraid that a large number of landless people in the Ming Dynasty will do extraordinary things because they cannot survive."

"Old Qian Ge is too alarmist. When will the external troubles be completely eliminated? Jiannu and Mongolia still have the power to fight, and they are both ambitious people. How can they relax their vigilance? In addition, how can the so-called collusion between officials and businessmen be related to the suffering of the people? Not to mention that His Majesty has now exempted corvee and most of the taxes. Even the funds collected in recent years are mostly from royal trading and commercial tax collection. Your so-called collusion between officials and businessmen not only solves the problem of eating food in the treasury, but also avoids the court levying the people because of the war. Therefore, it can be seen that you are talking nonsense!"

Qian Qianyi's eyes were still focused on the inner city. As a conservative official, he did not seem to be too concerned about external expansion, so he still wanted Zhu Youxiao to solve the problem of unknown officials and businessmen in China. Li Mingrui's words were undoubtedly refuting Qian Qianyi's dissatisfaction with the government officials dominating the commodity economy.

Seeing that the two of them were about to argue about whether the court officials were involved in commercial activities, Zhu Youxiao coughed a few times and said, "Shut up first. Now is not the time to agree on these matters. The war in Java must be fought. Whether he declares war or does not declare war, the Ming Dynasty will never allow a regime that hates the Han people. Even if he is at the end of the world, I will completely eradicate him. This is called those who follow me will prosper and those who rebel against me will perish. I understand?"

"But, Your Majesty, it would be fine if he wins the battle rashly. If he loses, our Ming Dynasty will consume a lot of treasury and food, and at the same time it will also encourage the arrogance of some corrupt and perverted people. Therefore, I hope Your Majesty will think twice and not be able to be strong in military force. Since ancient times, all the wise and virtuous kings have been tolerant and spend all the entire world." Qian Qianyi thought that what he said was very reasonable, but unexpectedly, his words "strongly in military force" directly hit Zhu Youxiao's rebellious scale.

Zhu Youxiao immediately stood up and angrily scolded Qian Qianyi: "Qian Qianyi! Get out with me!"

Qian Qianyi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that His Majesty would suddenly say something, which made him very embarrassed. At this time, Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, ran away and saw Zhu Youxiao nodding and he came in directly: "Your Majesty, you just got the news ahead that the natives of Java began to massacre our Han people in Java in the name of declaring war on the Ming Dynasty. The First Brigade of the South China Sea Fleet had already rushed to Java. Gu Sanmazi, the general officer of the South China Sea Fleet, asked His Majesty how to deal with the massacre of Java."

"It's really despicable! This Java country is going to declare war with our Ming Dynasty on the surface, but does not directly challenge our Ming army. Instead, it points swords and guns at these innocent Han people. It's also auspicious that these Han people are also serving his Java country. Your Majesty, now that our Ming Dynasty intends to control Java, we cannot sit idly by the Han people, and we are slaughtered by the natives of Java! I dare to suggest that Your Majesty immediately take action to destroy Java!"

When Li Mingrui saw His Majesty, whose face and expression suddenly became even more ferocious and terrifying because he knew that Java had slaughtered Han people, he immediately seized the opportunity to come forward and bowed directly.

Seeing this, Yang Sichang also stood up and suggested that Zhu You proofread the Java country and eliminate it directly.

Zhu Youxiao was not disgusted with the behavior of Li Mingrui and Yang Sichang at the time, but was even more excited because of this. He couldn't help but wave his sleeves: "As you said, since Java has declared war on our Ming Dynasty, we have also declared war on him. The Ministry of War immediately came up with a plan. I will see this Java disappear from the map as soon as possible, and so as to minimize the losses of the Han people."

"Your Majesty! Java is just a disease of scabies. We can strengthen the defense around us and warn and condemn us. There is really no need to make such a big move. My Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. We should use benevolence to influence the barbarians from all directions and make them return to our hearts. Taking advantage of the war will only make the corrupt and perverted powers aside!"

Qian Qianyi was completely in a devilish situation at this time. When he saw Li Mingrui asking Zhu You to proofread the Java country to destroy the country, he couldn't help but stand up and knelt down again: "I dared to impeach the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Li Mingrui with ulterior motives. He made a fuss about his own selfishness and tried to trap His Majesty for his unkindness and unrighteousness. Please punish this person severely!"
