Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 317 Bai Dafang once again!Blood loss!
From the point of view of strength, Ottoman and the Habsburg family, when the two join forces, can indeed break the wrist with those small countries in Europa.

However, from a geographical point of view, Ottoman is closer to the existing territory of Ming Dynasty, but farther away from Europa. The Habsburg family is now in a situation of losing ground, even if Ottoman is ready to fully support Habsburg The family, I'm afraid they are powerless, right?
After careful consideration, Zeng Cheng still couldn't help but tentatively said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I really can't figure out why Osman can affect the battle situation in Europa?"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head, and said, "It's not that Ottoman can affect the situation in Europa, but that with Ottoman and the Habsburg family joining forces, the situation in Europa has begun to develop in an all-round way."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong began to knock on the table habitually again: "If it is not that he can't hold on anymore, it is impossible for Osman to join forces with the Habsburg family."

"And the so-called inability to sustain is not only in response to the attack of sand geese, but also in Ottoman's economy-as the Western Fleet and the Fleet of Silly Eagles began to block the waters near Ottoman, Ottoman's oil It can't be sold."

"The difference from Daming is that its huge land area and population of [-] million allow Daming to complete its internal circulation even without relying on sea trade, but Ottoman can't, Ottoman must rely on sea traffic and trading."

"In fact, among the many countries on the small broken ball, many countries cannot guarantee their own food supply."

"For example, Tianzhu before."

"Don't look at those third brothers from Tianzhu who are exporting grain to Daming, but their own food is simply not enough to eat. Every year, a large number of third brothers starve to death due to lack of food."

After Zhu Jinsong's voice fell, Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen, and even Zhu Erdan and other bigwigs couldn't help being a little confused, especially for Liu Huaiwen, the head of the household department, this news seemed more magical than myths and legends.

It is not unacceptable for these bigwigs to say that some unscrupulous merchants buy and sell grain regardless of the life and death of the people. After all, such merchants have existed since ancient times, and it is impossible to completely eliminate the existence of this situation even now, including Daming.

However, this kind of situation generally exists in the local area, and most of them are between businessmen and businessmen or between businessmen and the government taking advantage of natural disasters and other opportunities to collude with each other.

Like the previous grain trade between Daming and Tianzhu, the officials in charge of purchasing grain from the Daming Household Department communicated directly with the officials from Tianzhu.

In other words, in order to earn money from selling grain, the imperial court in Tianzhu could let the people of Tianzhu starve to death?
And there is a key word in His Majesty's old man's words.

Per year.

Just when Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen and other bigwigs were stunned, Zhu Jinsong continued, "It's the same with Osman."

"Ottoman is also short of food and various resources."

"Once the maritime trade is completely blocked, the Ottomans will have no way to count on their homeland to complete the internal cycle. Not only will the economy collapse, but people's livelihood will also not be guaranteed."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong looked at Zeng Cheng and asked: "If you were Zeng Qing, you are the Ottoman Sultan. The economy is about to collapse, the people may rebel because they can't survive, and the army is not suitable for use." Next, what will you do?"

When asked by Zhu Jinsong, Zeng Cheng fell into confusion.

If the food produced by itself is not enough to eat, and there is no channel to buy food from the outside, the army will not be able to use it... If the situation is really based on these three premises, it seems that the only way left is to wait for death up?

Seeing Zeng Cheng contemplating there with a bewildered expression, Zhu Jinsong simply looked at Zhu Erdan and said, "What if it was you instead?"

Zhu Erdan frowned and said: "In my opinion, the best way is to train soldiers first. As long as you have an invincible army in hand, other problems will naturally not be regarded as problems."

Zhu Jinsong sneered, and asked back: "With the economy about to collapse, where do you get money for military training? With your crap?"

"Back then, the Guanning iron cavalry only needed 100 million taels of military pay to enter the customs. Can Emperor Chongzhen borrow 100 million taels?"

"I don't think I need to say anything about the final result, right?"

Of course there is no need for Zhu Jinsong to say anything.

Who in the entire Ming Dynasty didn't know that before Gou Chengzi hit the capital city, Emperor Chongzhen once asked Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, how much money would he need to transfer Guan Ning's cavalry to fight the rebellion?Wu Sangui said 100 million taels, but when Gou Chengzi broke through the capital, Emperor Chongzhen did not get the 100 million taels of silver, so he had no choice but to hang it on the old crooked neck tree in Meishan.

After a long silence, Zhu Erdan's face showed a fierce look again, and he said in a deep voice: "When Gou Chengzi entered the capital, he copied tens of millions of taels of silver. If there is no penny in the treasury, Now, my minister will definitely be tortured by those corrupt officials who corrupt and harm the people first!"

Liu Huaiwen also echoed: "That is, if the national treasury is so empty that it is impossible to get out one million taels, but the princes in the court have tens of millions of taels of property, it would be better to kill them all!"

Zhu Jinsong sneered again, and asked back: "What if you can't control the army anymore?"

Zhu Erdan was stunned again, and after thinking carefully for a while, he asked tentatively: "Brother, what does the emperor mean, the current Ottoman Sultan can no longer control the Ottoman army?"

Zhu Jinsong nodded and said, "The current Ottoman Sultan can't control not only the army, but also the clan and court."

"Then it's over," Zhu Erdan said, "If you can't even control the army, the court, and the clan, then what's the difference between the Ottoman sultan and a puppet? Apart from waiting to die, I really can't figure it out. other ways."

Zeng Cheng followed suit and said, "What His Royal Highness King Qin said is absolutely true."

If you just can't control the army, or simply can't control the clan and court, it's actually easy to handle, you just need to spend some effort to seize power.

If it's just that the food is not enough to eat or is blocked, then the way to break the situation is actually as Zhu Erdan said just now, as long as an army capable of conquering and fighting can solve the problem.

But when these messy problems all appeared at the same time, the situation was completely deadlocked.

In a state of food shortage and blockade, no one has so much time to seize power, let alone train troops.

Without the ability to control the army and the court, it is naturally impossible to send troops out to grab food, let alone break the blockade.

In this way, it seems that there is really only one way to wait for death.

But Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "Based on these premises, Ottoman's only way out now is to unite with the Habsburg family."

"The Habsburg family can provide a lot of food and money to the Ottomans, and the Ottomans can provide soldiers to the Habsburg family."

"Once the two are united, their biggest problems can be solved."

"More importantly, France and England have no problem facing the Habsburgs or Ottomans alone, but when the Habsburgs and Ottomans unite, France and England are not enough."

"Once the armies of France and England are defeated, there will be a large number of small countries in Europe leading to the Habsburg family."

"It's okay for these small countries to come out alone, but it's an extremely huge force to gather them around the Habsburg family."

Hearing this, Zeng Cheng, Zhu Erdan and other bigwigs finally figured out the twists and turns—who would have thought that Osman, who was separated from Daming and Europa, would be so strong in the outside world?
After sighing and sighing, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs couldn't help but feel a little upset-after all, aren't you the old man who made all these messy questions?
If it wasn't for you, the old man, who pulled France and England to make some small troubles, didn't talk about the five benevolent people, and didn't encourage France and England to attack the Habsburg family, where did so many troubles come from?

It's all right now, these messy problems have exploded now, and they are about to drag Daming into trouble!

Just thinking about it, Zeng Cheng felt that Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, could not be blamed for this matter.

In fact, the reason why Ming was able to kill Qing at the beginning was not only because Qing itself was not powerful, but also because Da Ming obtained a lot of money by relying on maritime trade.

Including later, if it hadn't been for the new warships and the latest books from Europa from France and England, Daming would not have developed so fast.

This is really in response to the old saying of the ancestors: misfortune comes with blessings, and blessings come with misfortunes.

But when Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs were sighing with emotion, Zhu Jinsong went on to say: "The reason why I let the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies take down the entire Ottomans within a year, except for the above messy reasons , and a more important reason is that I cannot pin all my hopes on England and France."

Hearing this, Zeng Cheng and other big bosses who had been sighing and sighing just now, suddenly fell into a state of bewilderment again.

What does this have to do with England and France?
It was your old man who had his eyes on Ottoman's oil from the very beginning, and it was your majesty who said from the beginning that he wanted to kill Ottoman.

Zhu Xisong went on to say: "England and France are not only busy recruiting workers from Tianzhu, they are also busy mining copper mines from Sri Lanka."

"In other words, England and France don't have much power in Europa at all. It is not easy to suppress the small countries in Europa. If you expect them to quickly solve the Habsburg family and then deal with Ottoman, I'm afraid it might be better to expect the sow to climb the tree."

Hearing this, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs understood it—other than worrying that the little broken ball would be fully released, the main thing for His Majesty and his old man is that he feels that he will not be able to get the advantage of England and France, so He simply planned to end the game in person to kill Osman.

After complaining secretly in his heart, Zhu Erdan cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Brother Emperor, we will make preparations as soon as we return to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and we promise to take Ottoman completely within a year."

Liu Huaiwen glanced at Zhu Erdan, then turned his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "Since you want to do it, then do it big—the treasury will allocate one billion military expenditures to you this time!"

A smile appeared on Zhu Erdan's face immediately.

It's not easy. The famous Tianzihao Laoji is willing to spend one billion military expenditures to support the opening of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion. This is really the first time in the world. Like small money?
However, just when Zhu Erdan thought that Liu Huaiwen had changed his temper, Liu Huaiwen turned his head and said to Zhu Jinsong: "Your Majesty, the army that attacked Ottoman this time was allocated by the treasury, so the subsequent possessions and oil fields..."

Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but rubbed his forehead, and said, "I didn't intend to hold Ottoman's treasury and the oil in my hands, but this time, Uncle Huaiwen, you thought wrong."

When Zhu Jinsong said this, Liu Huaiwen was immediately dumbfounded—the old man, His Majesty, originally wanted to hand over all the money in the Ottoman treasury and Ottoman's oil to the Ministry of Households?Co-authored Bai Dafang this time?
Blood loss!

Thinking of this, Liu Huaiwen couldn't help crying and said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I was talking nonsense just now, that, that, the treasury is now empty..."

Zhu Jinsong waved his hands with a smile, and said: "As the saying goes, a gentleman is quick to whip his horse. Uncle Huaiwen is a dignified secretary of the household department. Since he has promised a billion military expenditures, how can he go back on his word? Although I disdain, But you can't trap Uncle Huaiwen into injustice~"

Liu Huaiwen thought in his heart that it would be better for you to trap me in injustice, otherwise, once the one billion military expenditure goes out, the old man will lose ten years of his mother's life!
Seeing that there is no room for change in the matter of military expenditure, Liu Huaiwen simply stopped being entangled, but turned his head and said to Zhu Erdan: "I can tell you in advance that the one billion military expenditure will be allocated to your five armies. No problem, but if you dare to spend it all..."

Zhu Erdan's heart tightened, he quickly shook his head and said: "Don't worry, my father-in-law, my son-in-law knows it well."

Seeing that Zhu Erdan was acting like a bird, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but glared at Zhu Erdan immediately, and said mockingly, "So what if we spend all the billion?"

"After all, it's an expedition to Ottomans. It's hard to say whether the one billion is enough."
