Hou Fangyu turned out to be an unknown little official, but he was excavated by His Royal Highness, so this guy became the dean of the Lifan Academy.

Moreover, this guy has made many big deals in foreign trade. Although it was completed under the guidance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if it were someone else, can you guarantee that all these deals can be completed?

According to incomplete statistics, during the days when this guy was in charge of the Lifan Academy, he made 16 transactions with foreigners, with a total transaction volume of 130 million silver.

This number has exceeded the treasury income of the Ming Dynasty for several years, and it is also very shocking. Of course, not many people know about this number, but they only know that the Lifanyuan is very profitable.

Joining the Ministry of Internal Affairs, their income has exceeded that of the complementary yamen of the Ming Dynasty. If they knew that there were 130 million taels of silver, I am afraid that Hou Fangyu would not even sleep. Those who go to ask for money every day would have to break the door.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, everything is in trouble and is developing rapidly everywhere, and its desire for money is impossible to match at any time.

"His prince's eminent minister supports General Hu's statement..."

Hou Fangyu took the lead in expressing his attitude. Speaking of which, this guy is also a scholar and is considered a person in the civil servant group, but his way of doing things is completely different from that in the civil servant group.

According to his idea, the Ming Dynasty is now strong and will soon set foot in the Northeast. If there is such a person who often harasses us, how can the local people live and work in peace?

Now that their strength is not strong, they have to take this opportunity to kill them, so as to avoid growing into a tiger in the future and pose a great threat to us.

Although the treasury cannot make this part of the budget, the money we spend now is a drop in the bucket compared to the future. No matter how we settle the score, it is more cost-effective to beat them now.

Hou Fangyu said something about his heart and made an estimate of the situation on the battlefield. If there were not many people, even if he attacked north, he would at most send one or two regiments of troops. We could fully afford such military expenses.

But if the Rakshasa people gained a foothold in the local area ten or twenty years later, they would not be such a person.

By then, the 100,000 troops sent northward may not be able to solve this problem. What's more, after we arrived in the north, will Liaodong's strategic depth be deepened a lot? The original Nurgandus could also restore its rule.

When Zhang Shenyan heard that Hou Fangyu had told the Nurgan Dusi, he knew that the matter was over...

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always wanted to establish the largest empire. What he wants to surpass is not only the immortal emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but also the ancestors of our Chinese people. As long as it is a yamen established on various borders, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to recover, and Nurkandus is no exception.

"What Lord Hou said makes sense. The thousand-mile dike collapsed from an ant hole. Although there are not many people who have discovered Rakshasa now, if we take it lightly, these people will soon make a comeback. So I hope you can understand that in this matter, we must not give up any piece of land casually."

Zhu Cilang's words were told to people like Zhang Shenyan. They generally have a kind of thought, and the Central Plains is our foundation.

As long as this piece of land is in our hands, the surrounding land can be ignored. After all, there is no grass growing in those places. Is it useful to be in your hands? Moreover, the grain that is cooked every year is far worse than that in Jiangnan.

Zhu Ciyang came from modern society, so he naturally knew how important the Northeast and Siberia were, especially the underground minerals. If they were given to others like this, their descendants would not know how much more they would have to spend!

You are indeed very troublesome now, but your descendants are reluctant to blame you. We are now gritting our teeth and bringing them into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. After the Industrial Revolution, we can provide us with more output value.

The money spent now is only a fraction of it, but if you buy it for others, then wait for the car to transport gold and silver to others.

"Transfer the order to Zhang Dashan to eliminate all the Rakshasa people who entered the Ming Dynasty on the spot."

Shi Kefa, the Minister of War, received this imperial edict and was about to copy the imperial edict, suddenly thought of another question: We do not have a clear border in the Northeast, so where can we determine it as our territory in the Ming Dynasty?

When Shi Kefa raised this question, no one in the civil and military officials in the court knew how to answer it. Although the Nurgan Dusi was originally set up, since the rise of the Qing Dynasty, the Nurgan Dusi was useless.

"Go and tell Zhang Dashan that no matter whether it is going north or east, as long as you can see the sea, it will be where my borders in Ming Dynasty are."

These people still want to go back and read the information. Who knew that His Royal Highness had given them a definition? After hearing His Royal Highness's words, everyone was really shocked. Doesn't this mean that all the land in the north belongs to us?

When the imperial edict arrived at Zhang Dashan, it had been three days since Zhang Dashan took his army to leave Shanhaiguan.

Because of the Rakshasa people, Zhu Cilang had to make more preparations, so the army Zhang Dashan took away this time was a fully-built infantry brigade.

There are a total of three infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, one cavalry regiment, and one transportation battalion.

Of course, the teaching group where Zhang Dashan is located is also followed by all members.

The strength has been much stronger than before, and Zhang Dashan is also very confident. After leaving Shanhaiguan, he goes straight to Jinzhou.

Since leading his army into the pass, Dorgon has not been outside the pass for many days. After seeing the familiar scene outside the pass, Dorgon felt a lot in his heart. If he could do it again, why would he take his army to the Central Plains? Isn’t it good to stay here honestly? This is his hometown.

Unfortunately, some things were no longer possible. Dorgon looked at the Ming army around him. No soldier was walking below, either riding a horse or riding a carriage. This alone was beyond the reach of his men.
