Zhang Zhiji was confused because Zhang Zhiji didn’t know how big the drama of burning the Old Summer Palace was like, and he didn’t know how much Jiannu who entered the Central Plains fell after the fall of the Ming Dynasty!

But for Emperor Chongzhen, burning the Old Summer Palace is definitely a shame and hatred that cannot be forgotten!

The Old Summer Palace, called the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens, is also called the Summer Palace because the fake Emperor Jiannu came here to escape the summer heat every midsummer.

Many people know about the burning of the Old Summer Palace in 1860. What many people don’t know is that the Old Summer Palace is actually composed of the Old Summer Palace, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden. There are also many small gardens distributed on the east, west and south, surrounded by stars like moonlight.

Therefore, the so-called burning of the Old Summer Palace is not just about burning the Old Summer Palace, but includes Xiangshan, Wanshou Mountain, Yuquan Mountain and Jingyi Garden, Qingyi Garden (Summer Palace), Jingming Garden, Changchun Garden and Yuanming Garden, which are the so-called Three Mountains and Five Gardens.

For Emperor Chongzhen, let alone burning these gardens, it would be an unforgivable sin to let these so-called coalition forces step onto their own territory!

Even though most of these gardens were built after Jiannu entered the Central Plains, for Emperor Chongzhen, since the British and French coalition forces had done this, it would have an indescribable relationship with him.

Jiannu can lose his chain, but he must not lose his chain. If he should burn it back, he must burn it back. Didn’t the British and French forces burn the Old Summer Palace? Then he burned their London and Paris to see if they will talk about British style and fashion capital in the future!

Besides, wasn’t there a big fire in London in history? It seems that this is the case?

For Zhang Zhiji, it is not important to know whether Emperor Chongzhen wanted to burn London. What is important is that he just needs to execute this order.

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty's killing talents killed people and built Jingguan did not do it once or twice. Jingguan was almost made into an artistic thing by them. Who cares about burning a city?

Moreover, Mao Wenlong and Liu Xingzuo, two old guys, have had the experience of burning Liaoyang City. Even if they were taken to Europe, it would be fine if they were letting them burn London!

After a while of silence, Zhang Zhiji spoke: "Your Majesty, this expedition to England will inevitably cost a lot. If you only pacify England, are you afraid?"

In Zhang Zhiji's view, the cross-sea expedition and the troops mobilized were not one or two. Although Lu Xiangsheng now swears that the treasury is fine, when it comes to letting the treasury pay, Mr. Wu is so stingy that he is so poor that he might cry and shout about poverty. Maybe he will play the role of hanging himself in front of you!

This matter has nothing to do with whether the treasury has money or not. It is completely because of Mr. Wu's temperament, which is almost the same as Mr. Guo, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue...

Because no matter how rich the treasury is, it cannot withstand the disasters like Emperor Chongzhen!

Cross-sea expeditions are not a joke. How many kilograms of food have to be eaten on the road when transported to the front line? Even if it is transported by railways and lucky ships, it can greatly reduce the consumption on the road, but it is impossible to ignore this consumption. It can only be said that it is much lower than before.

Emperor Chongzhen said, "What if you think of your dear friends? Just beat France down?"

Zhang Zhiji nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I mean to deal with the French barbarians. Anyway, they had trespassed in Penglaizhou and hurt the remnants of the Shang Dynasty. They were exactly the same as the barbarians in England. It would be better to deal with them at the same time."

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "No, only fight England, not France. Unless the French barbarians jumped out to oppose our Ming Dynasty, I will ignore them for the time being."

Emperor Chongzhen actually knew the problem that Zhang Zhiji said.

Is Hans Meow awesome? Is the supply system during World War II more advanced than the Ming Dynasty under the rule of Emperor Chongzhen? What is the result? It still costs fifteen kilograms of grain to transport one pound of grain, and finally I sing the cold-blooded one?

The only difference is probably that Emperor Chongzhen is more cruel than the head of state.

In this era, no one talked about human rights. Emperor Chongzhen could be more willful than the head of state. He would directly capture the barbarians as coolies when he occupied a place and then move the people to the past. The so-called front line is no longer the front line.

As long as Emperor Chongzhen was patient, he could do England first and then immigrate. By the second or third year, the food grown by the people would probably be enough for the frontline.

How far is England from France? Expanding from France and the entire Europe, where is it not your own territory? As long as the muzzle points, it is the land of the Ming Dynasty!

Now, in order to save as much money as possible, we have killed France. In fact, it feels like it is not worth the effort for the Ming Dynasty.

The first is the attitude of European countries.

The death of the rabbit and the sadness of the fox is a sentence summarized in history by the Central Plains dynasty. The meaning of this sentence is similar to the meaning of the lips and teeth. Although the European barbarians did not summarize such incisive words, they knew the similar meaning.

The Ming Dynasty could use force against England for several people. After all, England was wrong first. However, if the Ming Dynasty took this opportunity to kill France, the image of the Ming Empire in Europe would be considered bad.

If there was no arms trade and Fushou Paste trade, the image would be stinky. Even if it was stinky than canned tofu and canned herring, Emperor Chongzhen would not care.

But it is another matter when it comes to arms trade and Fushou Paste trade.

Because the arms trade and the Fushou Paste trade brought not only a large amount of gold and silver to the Ming Dynasty, but also a large amount of coolies. This is the key to the problem!

Zhang Yingxuan, Minister of Works, Chang Kaisheng, Minister of Transportation, and Hong Chengchou, Minister of Railways, did these three old men write to me for money and labor?

The Ming Dynasty project never stopped that day!

In this case, unless Emperor Chongzhen intends to completely kill the entire Europe at one time, and then all the Europeans will be captured as coolies, the European countries cannot be united.

Once European countries are truce and unite, it doesn’t matter if gold and silver are gone. The key is where Emperor Chongzhen will go to get laborers?

So the best choice for the current situation is to kill England alone and then continue to provoke Europe to continue infighting.

As for whether the European vassal states would continue to fight, Emperor Chongzhen was not very concerned.

Because these trash people never stopped in later generations, the two excellent shit stirring sticks, Gaul Chicken and John Bull, perfectly stirred up the shit in this big tank of Europe...

After a while of silence, Zhang Zhiji had no choice but to respond helplessly.

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly spoke: "Duke of the British, should we remind the soldiers of the military government that it is rare for workers to pay attention to them when they start to do it? Don't just think about fighting and killing?

Killing all the barbarians can solve the problem in Europe, but it cannot solve the problem in the Ming Dynasty. If this time it will be the same as in Penglaizhou, I am afraid that the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Railways, and Ministry of Transport will be dissatisfied!"

Zhang Zhiji, who was in a bad mood because he could not kill England and France at one time, was even more upset now. He squeezed out a hint of cold snorting from his nostrils before speaking: "Don't worry, Master Lu, the soldiers know it."

There is your uncle's number!

Lu Xiangsheng, who has always been hot-tempered, almost started scolding him!

It was a big joke that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty knew it!

It’s not that I have led soldiers. How can I not know about those killing talents? Cutting off people’s heads and building Jingguan is what they like most. Even if they lose the income from selling coolies, they probably won’t care too much!

After snorting coldly, Lu Xiangsheng said, "I don't care about other things, but if the number of barbarians this time is less than 500,000, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to consider the military expenditure next year!"

After hearing the amount of 500,000, Zhang Zhiji jumped up from the stool: "Five hundred thousand? Are there 500 thousand in the whole English barbarians in total?

Now you are just 500,000 workers. Do you think of a way to make up for the not enough ones yourself or let me go somewhere for you?”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Of course, your military government will find a way! Either get back 500,000 workers, or the Ministry of Revenue will cut military expenditure next year, you can consider it yourself!"

Zhang Zhiji looked pitiful and turned his eyes to Emperor Chongzhen’s bad intentions, Zhujingguan, were opened by you, and you can’t let go now...

Emperor Chongzhen, who was unhappy in his heart, had long hated Zhang Zhiji. Now, seeing Zhang Zhiji's gaze asking for help, he immediately picked up the teacup with a smile on his face and signaled Zhang Zhiji and Lu Xiangsheng to get out together.

If you have such a headache, you will be cured by yourself. Slowly fight and fight slowly. I just need to mediate in the end, and I will not care about why you have a headache now!

Just after leaving the palace, Zhang Zhiji said with a gloomy face: "Twenty hundred thousand, the barbarians who went to England this time have only guaranteed the number of 200,000 workers. If there are more, there is no way to go.

In addition to whether there are so many workers in England, there is another problem that 500,000 workers are unable to transport them back to the Ming Dynasty at the moment. How can Mr. Lu not know?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "Of course I know. The combined transportation capacity of the three fleets will also include the ocean transport fleet of the Ministry of Revenue. The 500,000 barbarians must also transport dozens of trips."

Zhang Zhiji's face is even worse. As you still know the difficulties here? Then you also asked, was it because it was deliberately embarrassing me, Zhang Zhiji?

Seeing Zhang Zhiji's face look ugly, Lu Xiangsheng stretched out his finger and pointed to the direction in the south and said, "Xinming Island, which of the vassal kings above does not have a small fleet? In addition, they have more large ships such as lucky ships for transporting goods. Is it a matter of just a few hundred thousand barbarians?"

Zhang Zhiji said: "Why is it not a problem? Even if the transportation problem is solved, what about the number of barbarians in England? Is there a 500,000 that much? Anyway, it's at most 200,000, or how much is calculated. If you specify a 500,000, you don't even think about it!"

Lu Xiangsheng suddenly sighed: "It's not easy for me. Look at the Ministry of Railways, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Works, Ministry of Revenue, and even the Ministry of Rites and Ministry of War. Which of these departments does not require labor?

The soldiers below always think about killing all the barbarians and worry-free. I also know that all the barbarians are worried. In fact, what about it? Kill all the barbarians. Who do you want to do the dangerous work of digging mountains and wells? The people of the Ming Dynasty?"

Qu Qi pointed at the imperial city behind him and gestured for a moment. Lu Xiangsheng continued: "How many barbarians have died? That man won't care, but if the people of the Ming Dynasty suffer heavy casualties, how can that man not care?

Then others feel uncomfortable, so we two can still get a good idea? Think about Shize's child, who had been evil because of the eldest princess, and now if there are not enough workers to apologize, do you think this matter can be passed?"

When Zhang Zhiji heard what Lu Xiangsheng said, he felt even more distressed.

That little bastard Zhang Shize, who is so big in the capital, can you harm whose girl you can't? Why did you suddenly climb to the princess?

This is a scam!

After cursing in his heart, Zhang Zhiji spoke: "Then you can count as much as you have. Don't tell me about 500,000 and 400,000. I won't tell you about 200,000 and 300,000. Can we catch as much as we have?"

Lu Xiangsheng said, "That's true. If you have 100,000, you can catch 100,000, and if you have 1 million, you can catch 1 million. However, you have to tell the soldiers below, don't just think about fighting and killing, change your mind!"

After Zhang Zhiji, who was in a bad mood, returned to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, naturally criticized other leaders, big and small, for being angry with Emperor Chongzhen, and was then suffocated by the Lu family. Are these people under his command still thinking about it?

However, Emperor Chongzhen in the palace looked at the map for a long time and suddenly spoke again: "Where have those two little bastards been?"

Emperor Chongzhen's words were a bit stupid, but Wang Chengen, who had been following Emperor Chongzhen, knew what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to ask, and then bowed and said, "When you come back to the emperor, the two princes had just passed Nanjing three days ago and were still facing south."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he said curiously: "After passing Nanjing, you still have to go south? Have these two little things gone to worship the ancestral tombs? What are they going south to think about?"

Wang Chengen bowed and said, "Qi Zuo, the two princes have worshipped the ancestral tomb and Xiaoling Mausoleum. As for going south, the direction is Myanmar."

Myanmar?

Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused.

Since Talon's inclusion, Myanmar has been completely incorporated into the Ming Dynasty and became one of the governors of the Ming Dynasty. However, Emperor Chongzhen was too lazy to rename it, so he has always called it the governors of the Burmese, which is the Burmese Province.

What do these two bastards want to do when they go to Myanmar? Dig jade?
