It turns out that it is snowing in Hangzhou City, and the snow during the small glacier period is particularly large. The scattered snowflakes will be covered with snow-white regardless of the deep courtyards of kings, princes, generals, and ordinary people's shabby houses.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was so intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the Hangzhou Bay that it abandoned the capital, and migrated the capital here. At this time, the Ming Dynasty seemed to have learned the spoiled Song Dynasty, and most of the important officials of the entire court gathered here.

However, this trip was definitely not a relaxing and pleasant trip, but the facial expressions of each minister seemed a little heavy.

Mao Jue did not like to live in the palace, and preferred the cement building he brought from Dongjiang. He accepted the imperial officials to stay. The meeting location followed the emperor's habits. He set up in the headquarters of the East India Company in Hangzhou. In the glass dome conference hall where the shareholders held a meeting, the ministers and ministers in purple robes were arranged on both sides, with solemn expressions and thoughtfulness.

It has to be mentioned that the emperor Mao Jue was very luxurious enough to hold a national racing competition. The Empire Square built in various places and the railway lineages were widely used. It cost tens of thousands of yuan. For his subordinates, he kept asking for diligence and thrift. The original Ming-style official robe with wide clothes and large sleeves was changed at this time and replaced by split clothes similar to the later Zhongshan suits, but the color was purple and crimson. Then the special patches of civil servants and military generals were preserved, and they were still embroidered on their chests.

It is said that it is thrifty, but in fact, it is necessary to embroider the patches that are just aligned and not out of the gap. The workmanship is more expensive than ordinary robes. However, when wearing this set, the cumbersome aura of corrupt scholars was removed by half, replaced by a smart and capable aura. Therefore, many people secretly said that Mao Jue's move was to imitate King Wuling of Zhao's Hu clothing and riding and shooting, and no one opposed it.

Aside Mao Jue, the main position in the center, Adrena, who returned to work, was wearing a straight third-rank imperial secretary official robe, but her official robe was changed from pants to short skirts, then she wore white velvet pants underneath and a pair of intellectual black-framed glasses.

It is said that the rise and fall of the dynasty can be seen from the skirts of women. They are as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, and the social atmosphere is also particularly open. Low-cut outfits that are comparable to the hotness of later generations have become a trend in the palace and upper class. However, in the Southern Song Dynasty, when the family and country were declining, the trend of Neo-Confucianism rose greatly. Starving to death is small, and losing morality is big! Men who could not defeat foreign enemies can only exude their anger on their own women, wrapping the women tightly and locking them up at home.

If Adrena had already caused a stir decades ago, but now the revival and open Ming Dynasty is no longer surprising.

Moreover, the officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty were not doing their jobs, staring at the big things in the sesame, but were all pretending to be deaf and dumb in military and national affairs. The first priority in the officialdom of the Haiguo Dynasty was to do their jobs. The ministers did not have the energy to care about what others were wearing, and they put all their energy into the hands of the imperial secretary Adrena.

Something really happened!

"Now to obtain precise information, the Dutch Red-Haid Phantom has officially intervened in the Unification War of Ming Dynasty!"

It's really proud of the Celestial Empire! Regardless of his chestnut-colored red hair, Adrena called out to the Red-Mao Fanzi contemptuously, and at the same time, she spoke lightly with a small tone and pointed at the entire Ming Dynasty picture behind Mao Jue.

"On October 15, the Dutch fleet attacked our Fuzhou City Self-Defense Force in Lianjiang County, and brought the Tang thief Zhu Youjian and the remnant of the traitor He Tengjiao back to Guangdong. On October 18, the reconnaissance fleet found that the Dutch left eleven warships to assist the Tang thieves in defending the Guangdong Bay, and reported to the inside. On the 18th, 28th, and the next month, three batches of Dutch cargo ships were anchored in Liwan, Guangzhou, and sent a large amount of firearm assistance to the Tang thieves. The Dutch also paid money to help the Tang thieves recruit Tulia and formed an army, and sent officers to help the Tang thieves train their troops!"

"In addition, Jiangxi Governor Qian Xi expelled the surrender envoys sent by our dynasty and gathered a large army to head north, which seemed to threaten our dynasty to Huguang!"

"There is news in the southeast, and the Dutch and the Dongyu people also secretly colluded. The Jin king of Daxi Kingdom Li Dingguo also sent news to the Ming Dynasty that a red-haired and male enhancement came to Sichuan from Yunnan to pay homage to Zhang Xianzhong, but was beheaded by Zhang Xianzhong! A few months ago, a boat bypassed Malacca and it is said that it is likely to have run to the Mughal Empire."

At this point, Adrena turned the map to the other side, Europe, and pointed the "Japan" in Europe, the British Isles.

"Half a year ago, our allies, the British had already heard news that the French barbarians and the Dutch had jointly invested and built warships in Marseille. I'm afraid there were already plans at that time, and our allies might be in danger!"

What a storm, the building is full of wind. The Dutch deserves to be a Shanghai coachman. In the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty's allies were taking multiple measures to cause a storm in the entire southeast. Seeing Adrena finish speaking, the important officials in the court who had already talked a lot suddenly started to discuss, especially Sun Chuanting, who had the most bad temper, was the first to stand up in anger.

"Your Majesty, the Dutch Red-Haid Friar, the small country of Kuoer, actually dares to offend our divine power of the Celestial Dynasty. He Tengjiao and other traitors have established a pseudo emperor and colluded with foreign vassals. The crime is extremely serious. Please send troops to attack him immediately!"

But before he could finish his words, Hong Chengchou, the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of War, shook his head with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be dealt with slowly. Now our army gathers in Jiangnan. There are only three corpses of the Xuzhou Army in Huguang. They have more than three corpses of the city and are not enterprising enough. Jiangnan is still thousands of miles away from Guangdong and Guangxi. The army is far and difficult, and the material transportation is scarce. The light army breaks in, and the labor force is not enough to waste the wages. Once they are not careful, they may lead to a defeat and lead to even more deterioration in the war."

"As you say so! Just watch Tang Ni sit in a state of climate?"

I really don’t know where Sun Chuanting, a person in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, got such a big temper. Hong Chengchou was also blushed when he said something. However, if you look at the two big bosses, they have to pinch them up. Song Xiance, who is in charge of the diplomacy of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, asked the idea in one sentence.

"Everyone, don't be busy arguing. You have never thought about why this Dutch barbarian had always had a harmonious trade with me, the Ming Dynasty, suddenly made such a big fight to cause trouble for me, the Ming Dynasty."

This question really made Man Ting stop suddenly. All the officials of the 30th were frowning. No wonder they were so angry. It was because they were unbelievable. They could never imagine what was wrong with the Dutch red-haired head being clamped with the door. They dared to cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty.

However, the silence did not last long, and it was broken by Mao Jue himself. With a bang, he threw a heavy ingot of silver into the middle of the conference table.

"Just for this money!"

"silver?"

Now the large ingots of silver are rare. The Beiming Central Money House has begun to issue silver coins for circulation, saving the fire consumption and expenses of years of recasting. This should be Mao Jue's private collection. However, as the heavy silver ingot rolled past, Fan Wenju, as the chief minister, frowned and shook his head in doubt.

"Your Majesty, the only people who directly traded with the Ming Dynasty in the Western vassal states were Yinggeli, the Portuguese, and the Dutch. Among them, the Dutch were the largest vassal states in trade with the Ming Dynasty. Every year, they could earn millions of taels of income. The Westerners were greedy and had no time to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty for money. How could they go against the Ming Dynasty?"

"Mr. Fan said that the Westerners are greedy! What kind of business is the most profitable? No business? Before the war in the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch took advantage of the weakness of the Ming Dynasty and had no time to take care of it. They occupied the East Indies, and the locals in Xiao Liuqiu forced the locals to farm and sell spices from the spice archipelago to make huge profits. They made more than tens of millions of taels of profit every year. However, as the Ming Dynasty rose again and began to operate the Southeast Asian region, not only recovered Ryukyu, but also took back the three islands of Luzon back to the Ming Dynasty, but also controlled Malacca and controlled the entire waterways entering and leaving Southeast Asia. The Dutch's interest space has actually been greatly compressed by the Ming Dynasty! The Dutch are the Western maritime overlords, so how can they bear it!"

Holding his chin with both hands and looking at the silver ingot in front of him with a gloomy expression. Mao Jue's voice was also gloomy as if it was about to rain, and it was so gloomy and terrifying.

"Besides, my Ming Dynasty was not unified before, and the Dutch could steal the East Indies. Now that our Ming army is heading south, King Fu descended in sight, and the world is about to unify. How can others snore on the side of the bed? How can the Dutch who occupy the East Indies not be nervous?"

"There is more important thing: My Ming Dynasty united with the British. The British were even willing to support my sons in marriage with their princess, and recognized my second sons as the future king of England. The power of the Ming Dynasty has been spread to Europe in the extreme west, and it is a mediocre person not to be jealous of others! The expansion of the Ming Dynasty has been feared by the forces of the Western European countries and threatened their hegemony. Judging from the signs, the Westerners have united to deal with my Ming Dynasty together!"

"The Dutch are in the southeast of my country and disrupt the pace of unification! The French are in the west and attack our British allies. It is expected that in India, the French are the Dutch and the Holy Roman Empire will also unite and compete with our Ming Dynasty! They want to force the Ming Dynasty back to land, continue to monopolize the rich and rich maritime trade, and isolate the Ming Dynasty from the division of this world!"

"We are facing a global war now!"

As he said this, Mao Jue's voice suddenly became excited, knocking on the table, and shouting loudly: "But I will never retreat!"

Mao Jue's words were a little deafening. Even after following Mao Jue for so many years, his vision was no longer as limited as those corrupt scholars back then, but this was the first time that his strategic vision had risen to a global height! Even Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were all stunned, but after a little dullness, the ministers couldn't help but raise their heads, and a look of excitement appeared in their pupils!

These are all outstanding people, so how can they be lonely? If you make achievements and keep your reputation in history, how can you leave the stage of a great struggle?

"Your Majesty, I believe that the most urgent task is not to fight against Tang Ni in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan, but to build the railway from Songjiang to Fuzhou at this end of Jiangnan!"

"Your Majesty, I think the army can advance slowly. The navy can go south first, cut off the connection between the Dutch vassals and the Tang Dynasty, and send envoys to mediate the six central and southern countries!"

This is just an eggshell-like upper limit, with its eyes on the global scope, and strategies were raised enthusiastically by these important officials! Listening to the ministers' words and words, sitting on the dragon throne, Mao Jue's pupils also showed an extremely hot gaze.
