"Your Majesty, the sea is now turbulent, and Japanese pirates have taken advantage of the wind and harassed our Great Xia coastal areas many times. I request you to lead troops to fight against the Japanese pirates and protect our Great Xia people!"
Ranger General Wei Guangliang stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, fighting against Japanese pirates will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and those Japanese pirates are very cunning. They usually hide at sea after plundering a place, and their whereabouts are difficult to trace. I think it is impossible to fight against Japanese pirates at this time."
A minister stood up and said.
When Wei Guangliang heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He looked at the minister and said in a bad tone:
"Are we just going to let those Japanese pirates plunder our people? Master Sun, what's your intention when you say this? Doesn't Master Sun have a better way?"
"I believe that the emperor can implement a sea ban and prohibit everyone from going to the sea. This will not only prevent Japanese pirates, but also prevent the people along the coast from colluding with Japanese pirates and threatening the rule of Great Xia."
Minister Sun argued vigorously.
[Sea ban? Oh my God! This is absolutely impossible!]
After hearing that a minister was going to implement a maritime ban, Jiang Nuan, who was initially distracted, suddenly came back to his senses.
When Minister Sun heard what Jiang Nuan said, his heart skipped a beat. Is there any problem with the maritime ban?
[Although now the sea ban can ward off the intrusion of Japanese pirates to a certain extent and maintain the stability of coastal areas, in the long run, the sea ban has too many disadvantages!
After the sea ban, the economy of coastal areas will definitely decline significantly. Those people who rely on the sea for a living will most likely be forced to become pirates after losing their livelihood.
Moreover, Great Xia's maritime trade will be greatly impacted. If other countries develop rapidly, it may cause Great Xia to lag behind other countries and affect Great Xia's development.]
After hearing Jiang Nuan's thoughts, some ministers felt that most of them were reasonable.
They just say that Great Xia will lag behind other countries. They don't believe it. Now that Great Xia is booming, it is impossible for other countries to catch up.
However, they still gave up the idea of a sea ban.
At this time, Jiang Nuan continued to say in his heart:
[Actually, it is very simple to fight against Japanese pirates.]
After hearing these words, the ministers held their breath and concentrated, wanting to see what good ideas Jiang Nuan would come up with.
[Aren't those Japanese pirates all from island countries? Just wipe them out.]
The ministers were silent. What did they think it was a good idea? Could they just destroy it without knowing?
The problem is that it is much more difficult to destroy them than to simply fight against the Japanese pirates in Great Xia!
Moreover, that place is very remote and not easy to manage at all. The people on the island are very barbaric and difficult to educate.
In short, to capture that place, the cost far outweighs the reward, which is a loss-making business, so no one even thought about capturing it.
[After all, there is the largest silver mine in the world, and one-third of the world's silver is there.]
Jiang Yunsheng:!
Ministers:!
After hearing that there was a silver mine there, and that it was the largest silver mine in the world, everyone became uneasy.
That's money! What white money!
Especially the people in the Ministry of Finance were furious. Expenditure applications from various places were coming in piles. They had to calculate them carefully before approving some of the more urgent applications.
If there was this silver mine, they wouldn't have to suffer so much.
"Your Majesty, since the founding of our country Great Xia, Japanese pirates have frequently invaded our country, causing the people along our coasts to suffer misery. Now we have had a long-standing grudge against them. I would like to ask your Majesty to send troops to directly destroy Japan!"
A military attache who was stunned by the silver mine stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, I second your proposal!"
Some ministers stood up.
Jiang Yunsheng nodded and said:
"Okay, in that case, Wei Guangliang obeys the order. I order you to take over the naval forces in the Jiangnan area from now on. After three months, send troops Japan."
"I obey the decree!"
Wei Guangliang took the order immediately.
This development was so rapid that it shocked Jiang Nuan.
[What's going on? Weren't we still discussing whether to ban the sea? Why did we suddenly move forward to sending troops Japan? What about those conservatives? Why didn't they come out to oppose it?]
Jiang Nuan can't figure it out.
She didn't know that so much money was enough for all the ministers to unanimously agree to send troops Japan.
As for the conservatives? They just feel that the March period is too long and they want to send troops now.
Conservatives: Radicals are too conservative.
However, the March period is already the shortest time Jiang Yunsheng can think of. After all, we still have to prepare food supplies and large ships at sea.
If Jiang Nuan hadn't come up with something called Compass some time ago, Jiang Yunsheng wouldn't have dared to send troops easily even if he knew there was a silver mine there.
After all, it is easy to lose your way on the vast sea.
Japanese pirates were very rampant in the previous dynasty. A certain emperor of the previous dynasty was so angry that he directly sent 100,000 troops to attack Japan.
As a result, several months passed without any news. It was most likely that he lost his way at sea.
After this incident, the previous dynasty was almost taken advantage of by the neighboring country. This also led to the fact that after that emperor, all emperors did not dare to take action against Japan. At most, they only fought against Japanese pirates near coastal areas.
[But this is also good. When I think about it, in another world, Japan people directly slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in southern Capital City, and I feel very sad.]
Thinking of a certain tragic fact, Jiang Nuan felt quite depressed.
[Speaking of which, isn't the current Capital City the location of Nan Capital City? To put it another way, doesn't it mean that the descendants of the people here were almost completely slaughtered by the people of Japan at a certain point in time?]
Thinking of this, Jiang Nuan felt angry.
Not only Jiang Nuan, but also the anger in the hearts of those ministers almost reached its peak after hearing Jiang Nuan's voice.
Especially those generals who wish they could just wear armor and go into battle.
Japan Right, very good, even if there is no silver mine now, Japan They will definitely be defeated!
How dare a group of barbarians bully their descendants and want them to have no descendants? Very good, if you don't beat them to the point where they kneel down and beg for mercy, then they are incompetent!
[I have to supervise the people of Black Earth School. The ship must be produced soon, as well as those Alchemists. Now Gunpowder has made a big breakthrough and can be put into use. Let them study more powerful ones.
Hey, no, I remember that there is a blueprint for Red Barbarian Cannon in the Traveler's Book. Why did I ignore this? I will give it to those Alchemists tonight! After they figure it out, they can capture Japan with minimal casualties!]
Now that it has been decided to send troops Japan, Jiang Nuan is ready to focus on this, and the necessary things will be produced first.
The regrets of the previous life will be made up for in this life!
