Recently, the Imperial Parliament was held again at Deng Ming's request.

In order to ensure that the members of parliament were patiently sitting in the parliament, especially those from Syrian states, should not be busy going back, Deng Ming even gave food subsidies to all members. The content of this discussion was the issue of Deng Ming's plan to send troops. In the past, maybe everyone agreed immediately. Anyway, Deng Ming never disappointed them. But now the members of parliament were all afraid of the last Eastern Expedition, and the manpower shortage in western Sichuan was not serious for the time being, so everyone did not immediately agree, but asked Deng Ming to talk about how he planned to make money through Eastern Expedition, so that everyone could also evaluate the cost and benefits.

Deng Ming felt that he still needed to act according to the opportunity, but this answer could not satisfy the parliamentarians. The whole of Sichuan generally believed that it should be a period of development. When there were too many goods to be sold, or as production expanded, more commercial banks appeared, resulting in a new round of labor shortage, it was forced to propose a plan to sell war bonds, that is, he brought tens of thousands of troops to sell bonds, and whoever bought them would be a good friend in western Sichuan. If the peace with western Sichuan was maintained for three years, western Sichuan would pay the money at an annual interest rate of 5%. If there was war compensation in western Sichuan during the period, the people who bought the bonds would also be dividends to those who bought the bonds; if they did not buy it, it mean that he had ulterior motives and planned to launch a war against western Sichuan within three years. Deng Ming would beat the thief in advance, then use the compensation to western Sichuan, and share a portion of it to good friends who had bought the Ming War bonds before.

But this idea is obviously too advanced and cannot be understood by most members of parliament.

Since ancient times, if you borrow money for one or two years, you will not make any profit unless you are a relative of your family or a living Bodhisattva. However, Deng Ming intends to sell bonds, and none of them are good men and women. As long as they are willing to bow their heads to subscribe to bonds, it is a major victory for western Sichuan. Moreover, the benefits of these low-interest loans to western Sichuan will definitely be more than 5% per year.

However, the MPs in western Sichuan were unwilling to borrow money, thinking that the borrowing money would have to be paid after all. No matter how low the interest rate is, they would not touch it. Therefore, Deng Ming's plan was not good, but also suspected of spending money to give money to others. If Deng Ming had not proposed this plan, the MPs would have rejected it long ago and went home to take care of their own business.

If you don’t want to lose money, then the members of the parliament seemed to be able to sell bonds all the way, until they met someone who refused to collect profits and insisted on fighting with Baoguo. This is not sure how far they should go, and what if they meet a poor man and can’t pay for the money? If the people they meet along the way are very cognitive, should they go on a military adventure to Beijing to promote the Ming Dynasty war bonds?

Finally, some people even murmured in a low voice, if Beijing had bought the Ming Dynasty war bonds consciously, who should we go to? Should we rob Goryeo and get it back and share dividends with Beijing? Of course, there is almost no possibility. Although the Tartars in Beijing are barbarians, they still cannot buy imperial bonds. Moreover, the Sichuan Army would not have been able to go to Beijing to promote the Ming Dynasty war bonds, so as to fight with the Eight Banners Cavalry on the North China Plain.

Seeing that the plan to send troops was about to die, Deng Ming could only ask everyone to continue to receive the conference allowance first and discuss for a few more days. At the same time, he urgently studied with the military how to get the unanimous approval of all sectors of Sichuan.

After seeing off the British today, Deng Ming continued to discuss this matter with several lieutenant colonels, asking everyone to brainstorm and come up with a plan to send troops that would be endorsed by most members of parliament. Of course, these lieutenant colonels in the military hope that war will last one after another, which is their job. If there is no war, they will become idle food. However, like Deng Ming, the lieutenant colonels now hope to get more support on the issue of sending troops, because after the Battle of Chongqing and the last Eastern Expedition, everyone realized that the army with the support of the people would be much stronger.

However, after discussing for a long time, these people did not come up with any good solutions. Especially the arrival of foreign merchants is not particularly favorable news. If their business plans progress, the profits of Yangtze River Shipping will become higher. Merchants in western Sichuan will definitely want to take this opportunity to produce more goods and make money.

"Or we'll cheat?" Mutan came up with a plan, that is, the military lied to the parliament, saying that the southeast was besieging Chongming or Zhoushan, causing serious threats to the Yangtze River shipping.

"It's probably okay this time. When Jiang Guozhu heard that he was so ignorant of life and death, his fellow scholars must be excited. If any congressman disagrees with the troops, he will definitely be scolded! But what if he cheated this time? No one will believe it next time, right?" Zhao Tianba said.

"As long as we can make money," Mutan disagreed.

"Well, if you don't make any money, it's not going to end." Zhao Tianba said and looked at Deng Ming: "Does the admiral have any other ideas besides selling war bonds?"

"Many ideas will only emerge at that time." Deng Ming said helplessly.

"That's nothing." Ren Tang nodded and made a judgment.

"Besides, selling war bonds is a good idea." Deng Ming also felt helpless about the knowledge of people of this era.

"It's true." Everyone's opinions were unified, and these people couldn't think of any good way to do it.

Misfortune never came alone. Just when everyone was frowning, two teams of envoys from Fujian arrived in Chengdu at the same time. One team went from Taiwan to Zhoushan, then boarded Zhang Huangyan's fast ship, and transferred to the Governor of Liangjiang and Governor of Huguang along the way. The other team secretly landed from the coast of Fujian, disguised itself and crossed the blockade line, went through a lot of hardships to enter Huguang, and then came to Sichuan. So although the first team set off late and the journey was long, the two teams arrived at Fengjie at about the same time and were escorted to Chengdu by the Governor Wen.

After just asking a few simple questions, Mu Tan burst into tears: "Why did you let go before you recover the two capitals?"

After suddenly hearing about Zheng Chenggong's death, Deng Ming and others were also very surprised and asked the two teams of messengers to come in.

The team of people who came to Fengjie by land from Fujian were Zheng Jing, who was sent by Zheng Tai. Zheng Jing said that he would inherit the title of Prince Yanping, and the honor of the founder of the Guo family. In the future, he would change his signature to Zhu Jing. When he sent this team to Fengjie, two other teams also set out from Xiamen and rushed to Yunnan and Myanmar respectively.

This request made Ren Tang look at each other and felt that Zheng Jing's actions seemed to be a bit suspicious of being arrogance. The national surname was given to Zheng Chenggong by Longwu, and even the title was entitled to the Emperor Yongli. However, when the two of them thought about Deng Ming's actions, they were embarrassed to blame Zheng Jing for his actions without complaining.

At the same time, Zheng Jing also informed Feng Jie that when his father was alive, several rebels in Taiwan tried to steal his father's authority and wanted to support his younger brother as the Prince of Yanping. Zheng Jing could not ignore this rebellious behavior. When he was confessing to Feng Jie, he was ready to go to Taiwan.

Although he was shocked, Deng Ming did not have the ability to interfere in the situation in Fujian, and could only say that this was an internal matter of the Zheng family. He did not understand anything, and naturally he would not express his opinions. However, Zheng Jing's envoy said that Gan Hui, Yu Xin and Wan Li, who Deng Ming rescued in Nanjing, seemed to be involved. Deng Ming felt that these three people were loyal to Zheng Chenggong. If they wanted to support Zheng Jing's younger brother, then this was probably what Zheng Chenggong meant. However, Deng Ming did not dare to say this sentence, but he just said that he felt that these three people were veterans of the Zheng family and might have been held hostage by villains. He hoped that Zhu Jing, the prince of Yanping, would be dealt with leniently.

At this point, Zheng Jing's envoy's purpose had been achieved. He said that he would bring Deng Ming's request back, and he also asked Deng Ming to hand over another team of Fujian envoys who came to Fengjie with him as a sign of the strong alliance between Sichuan and Fujian.

The other team was naturally sent from Taiwan. During Fengjie, the Xiamen envoy made such a request, but Wen Anzhi did not agree. Moreover, Fengjie's guards treated the envoys on both sides equally, and there was no difference in etiquette. It was obvious that they intended to let Deng Ming make the final decision.

...

At this time in the Taiwan Strait, Zheng Jing had already lit up 30,000 gold, and Xiamen's troops crossed the sea and rushed to Taiwan in a mighty manner. The scale of the army was even larger than when Zheng Chenggong recaptured Taiwan. Of course, such actions caused Jin and Xiamen's defense ability to drop to the lowest point in history. Fortunately, the Qing court's ban on sea has been promoted to Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi. If the Qing court did not adopt Huang Wu's policy and did not destroy the navy itself, then the Qing army would have a great chance to win the empty gold.

In addition to the Qing army without a navy, only staring at him, the experienced veteran Zheng Tai was also a key factor. In the last victory in the naval battle in Xiamen, he was responsible for commanding one-third of the Fujian Ming Army Navy. Now that Zheng Jing has raised all the Jin Dynasty and the elite Xiaming Army has attacked the Ming army in Taiwan, Zheng Tai has become twelve points and is focused on monitoring the movements of the Qing army in Fujian.

"The king will definitely defeat the thief when he goes to Taiwan." Liu Guoxuan stood by the side of the ship and congratulated Zheng Jing in advance: "I and others will be united and follow the king, and will sweep the southeast in the future, and it is just around the corner."

Zheng Jing nodded, although he did not express his appreciation, judging from his expression, he obviously did not think that Liu Guoxuan was wrong.

"But in order to achieve great things, we must unify our responsibilities. This time the king's expedition is just the first step." Liu Guoxuan added.

"We must first settle the country before fighting foreign countries. How could I not understand this principle?" Zheng Jing glanced at Liu Guoxuan. He knew very well who the other party was hinting at: Zheng Tai was Zheng Chenggong's brother and comrade-in-arms for many years. He had been through war and had a deep morale in the army. He also managed commercial trade for Zheng Chenggong for a long time. He made many contributions in the last victory in Xiamen. When Zheng Jing and Zheng Chenggong had a dispute, Zheng Tai also stood up and used his great reputation to protect this nephew.

Zheng Tai has the strength, ability, prestige, and he still refuses to obey orders. How can Zheng Jing unify the internal affairs if he doesn't kill him for a day?

"The king is clearly seeing thousands of miles. But besides Zheng Tai, there is also Chen Mang..." Liu Guoxuan continued, the last time he rose up to resist the landing of the Qing army in the Xiamen victory last time. After the victory, he was entrusted with important tasks by Zheng Chenggong. He was once inclined to Zheng Chenggong in the conflict between the father and son of the Zheng family, but was overwhelmed by Zheng Tai with prestige. However, a general holding the elite soldiers of Xiamen regarded Zheng Jing as a rebellious son, which was obviously intolerable.

"Come one by one." Zheng Jing said coldly. When he took Taiwan, he would go to deal with Zheng Tai. After he got rid of Zheng Tai, what tricks could Chen Mang and others make? After unifying the Zheng family, with Zheng Jing's literary and military strategy, is it still a big deal to attack the Central Plains and seize the world?—
