MTL - Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao-Chapter 334 All exiled! To enrich the border town!

  Chapter 334 All exiled! To enrich the border town!

  Zhang Gui replied immediately: "What I mean is that the imperial court should specially mobilize the navy to bloodbath Batavia! Any foreign barbarian there will not be spared!"

   Apocalypse was quite shocked after hearing it.

  Zhang Gui continued: "Your Majesty, this is a political battle to promote the country's prestige and cheer up the hearts of the people, not a battle of money and food that is cost-effective."

   "The military affairs of the Ming Dynasty can't be just for the benefit of earning more money and food."

"After all, Daming is a country, not a simple business house. Sometimes it is necessary to make some gestures, even if the gestures will not be worth the loss. The so-called emperor's anger, laying down millions of corpses, now it is His Majesty's anger for the three thousand Han people, and It's time to make Batavia go crazy!"

   Tian Qi stood up and looked at Zhang Gui for a while.

  Zhang Gui has been standing aside with folded hands: "Please make up your mind, Your Majesty!"

  Tianqi finally nodded: "Then bloodbath Batavia! Vent for the Han people in the world!"

Zhang Gui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise! It must be so. Today's Han people are too deeply influenced by Neo Confucianism, and most of them don't think that the imperial court will support them. This requires the imperial court to show their **** side first. Only in this way will they follow the blood and dare to show their strong side to the barbarians!"

  So, shortly after this, Apocalypse officially issued an edict to crusade against the Dutch East India Company.

  Emperor Apocalypse stipulates that the Dutch East India Company is an illegal pirate, and coastal officers and soldiers must be strictly suppressed, and the Ministry of War will dispatch naval forces to crusade against Batavia, the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company.

   "Your Majesty, I beg your majesty to take back your order. Don't spend a lot of money on behalf of some common people who died in vain, and commit evil to foreign countries. Such an act is not an act of a benevolent king!"

   "Your Majesty! If the first evil has been eliminated, why bother with it again? Please, Your Majesty, don't hesitate to conscript the people's fat and anointment just because the little people are slaughtered!"

   "I implore Your Majesty to be cautious about swords and weapons. Batavia is far away from China, and the sea has always been extremely dangerous. The presence of flood dragons may make the army never return, and it will waste money and manpower!"

  …

  However, after Tianqi listened to Zhang Gui's advice and made up his mind to attack Batavia, he was still obstructed by many civil servants.

The reason why these civil servants objected was naturally because they didn't like the emperor's military actions. Of course, some people had already been bought by the local gentry forces who had already lived in Batavia and secretly colluded with the Hongmao Fan, and they didn't want Batavia to be so unscrupulous. The place that will be controlled by the Ming imperial power cannot escape the power of the Ming emperor.

   "Admonish and block my avengers, all exiled to Xianzhou, responsible for educating the barbarians, and enriching the border town!"

  Tianqi didn't ask any more questions, and directly exiled all of them to the Xinfu territory outside the customs.

  The court is naturally clean.

   But secretly there are still people who are dissatisfied with Tianqi's decision.

   "This tyrant did not listen to dissuasion at all and insisted on conquering Batavia! What should we do, we can't hide our savings in Batavia and transport them to Goa?"

"They must not be allowed to conquer Batavia! Mr. Congwu also meant the same thing. He said that we should try our best to make a bigger incident happen in the court, so that the emperor would not have the energy to think about promoting national prestige. "

"Mr. Congwu is right, we have to find a way as soon as possible so that this tyrant has no energy to conquer Batavia! In addition, we must send a ship as soon as possible to inform the princes and Taixi people of Batavia and let them do it." Be prepared!"

  …

  So, behind the scenes, there are many dignitaries and bureaucrats in collusion with overseas forces who are secretly talking about this matter, and are planning to use more extreme methods to prevent Emperor Tianqi's decision.

   Zhang Gui, who instigated the apocalypse to use the power of the imperial court to uphold justice for the common people, also knew that there would be some people who did not want the imperial court to conquer Batavia and completely fight against the Dutch East India Company.

  Because Zhang Gui is very clear that many local tyrants in this era have already possessed the characteristics of compradors, and they are better at colluding with external forces to further cut the leeks of their own country.

  So, who knows if this city of Batavia will also have the property of local Chinese officials and gentry.

"Seriously investigate, especially this Mr. Congwu. Since he has contact with these red-haired fans and is the main criminal who trafficked Han people to Batavia, we must investigate clearly! And the real reason for Frank's sudden appearance in Tianjin this time The reason must be interrogated by the captured red-haired fans!"

   Zhang Gui therefore used all his intelligence forces to keep a close eye on the forces behind who did not want the imperial court to conquer Batavia. For this reason, he was explaining these things to Liu Zongmin on the way to the East Palace to meet the prince.

   "The humble job understands!"

  Because this day was the crown prince's birthday, Zhang Gui was also ordered to go to the East Palace to attend the family banquet organized by Tianqi himself.

  When Zhang Gui came to the East Palace, the prince had already come to the palace gate to greet him: "Uncle!"

  Zhang Gui smiled slightly, and was about to perform the national salute.

  At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

   "Your Highness, be careful!"

   Immediately afterwards, the prince sat down on the ground.

  Zhang Gui showed a look of panic: "What's going on, someone dares to assassinate the prince?"

   Soon, Zhang Gui noticed a puff of white smoke appearing on the palace wall in front of him.

   But people have long since disappeared.

  Zhang Gui had no choice but to turn around and ask, "How is your Highness?"

"What happened?!"

   Tian Qi and the queen hurried out following the sound.

   "The crown prince was assassinated!"

   Zhang Gui replied.

   Tianqi was shocked when he heard this.

  Zhang Yan also turned pale.

   "Father, queen, don't worry, this minister was not shot, but Wang Daban, who was about to block the gun for him, tripped him."

  The prince stood up at this moment and replied to Tianqi and Zhang Yan.

   Tian Qi and Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

   Not long after, many officials of the Eastern Palace who were on duty outside also rushed over, and said in horror: "The crown prince was assassinated? Who dares to threaten my Ming Dynasty?!"

   Zhang Gui said with a serious face at this time: "Who knows! There must be a thief inside!"

   Tian Qi also said in a deep voice: "It must be strictly investigated, how dare you attack my son again!"

Not long after, Qi Panzong came running, holding a strand of red hair and a piece of cloth and said, "Your Majesty, I just found these at the place where the gun was fired. Cloth only used by Xiyi!"

   "It seems that Hongmaofan did it! This Hongmaofan is really bold, dare to murder my country!"

   Tianqi gritted his teeth and spoke.

So, the next day, Tianqi called Daqi, and angrily scolded the Hongmao Fan for this shameless act in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and asked: "These Hongmaoyi have even harmed the country. The meaning of tolerance is to tell the sailors who have set off that they are going this time not only to avenge the 3,000 slaughtered Han people, but also to avenge the East Palace. Not only will I and the Han people in the world remember their achievements, but the East Palace will also remember them. Their merits! In addition, I want them to perform a ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven after the bloodbath of Batavia, so as to seal wolves and live in Xuxu!"

  Because the Hongmao fans have moved their hands against Guoben, the civil servants are even more afraid to speak up.

   Not long after that, the navy also arrived at the city of Batavia, surrounded it, and successfully captured the city of Batavia.

  Governor of Batavia, Kodar, knelt down in fear in front of Shen Shouyue, the commander in charge of conquering them: "We are willing to pay compensation, and please let your army let us live!"

Shen Shouyue laughed after hearing what the interpreter conveyed: "Uncle Guo already guessed that you would say that, but Uncle Guo told me at the time, let me tell you, if you don't let you go, you have to do it yourself." Go ask God!"
