The Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly the biggest and only winner in this war.

Because since Tumu Fort, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty in the north has dropped to a low point. Not to mention the powerful Mongolia, even the Jurchens, who were not yet in a state of chaos at that time, dared to provoke the Ming Dynasty.

They are actually all mentality. If the Ming Dynasty does not allow us to pay tribute, then we will fight with you.

Because for them, tribute is to give them money, and they will make sure to make money. In other words, if you don’t give money, we will cause trouble. Anyway, the cost of fighting is very low, and we will have a bad life. If you raise such an army in the Ming Dynasty, you will spend millions of taels a year, so we will spend it.

The key point was that after that, the Ming Dynasty did not fight many beautiful battles.

But after this battle, I believe no idiot dares to provoke the Ming Dynasty again.

According to Jin Taiji's judgment, as for the strength shown by the Ming Dynasty in North Korea, even if they were together with the Jurchens, plus the entire Tatars, they could not be defeated, because he found that after the battle, the Liaodong region would be prosperous. Generally speaking, if they were fighting in North Korea and did not allow North Korea to bear the logistics, then the people in the Liaodong region would definitely be in dire straits.

You are so lucky, your life is getting better and better. If you smash millions of taels, you won’t hurt the fur at all.

Their war costs are low, but they can't afford it either.

Who can bear it if the food is transported here?

This is why Jin Taiji chose to rely on him decisively without hesitation at all. This strength has surpassed his cognition.

As for firearms, I won’t think about it now.

Of course, Guo Dan just nodded and agreed to their cooperation with Yinuo Group, but he would leave the specific matters to Gu Changsheng and others, so he would not have time to work on a detail.

In this way, Yinuo Group has made perfect use of practice. It has been done countless times in Bozhou, Dongwu, Luzon, and Tumot. They know how to seek common ground while reserving differences and how to infiltrate capital.

Your people are mine, and your resources are my resources.

In addition to solving the problem of the Jurchens, Guo Dan was here to settle the bills specifically for this trip. He had to settle the accounts clearly, otherwise he would not be able to report to the fat man.

To this day, the cost of this battle is about 3 million taels, 70% of which is a burden on the treasury, and the remaining 30% are borne by Yinuo Group, mainly the cost of renting ports, but if the bounty is included, it will probably reach 5 million taels.

Because this is the first major victory after military system reform and diplomatic reform.

For the fat man, the political significance is huge, and he must have a great reward and write this battle into history. Therefore, these two million are all personal burdens for Wanli.

But the money is really worth it.

In a political sense, the Ming Dynasty successfully controlled the entire East Asian situation, and the North Korea and the Haixi Jurchens were already completely dependent on the Ming Dynasty. In this case, the Jurchens were the things in their pockets. At the same time, they could use the Jurchens as a channel to extend their capital hand to the heartland of Mongolia.

In Japan, although they did not rely on it, they suffered a lot of losses in this battle. At the same time, there should be a bloody storm in their country, which is no longer threatening, but also the Ming Dynasty's tentacles have also been put into it.

From an economic perspective, the Ming Dynasty obtained the entire East Asian market to stimulate domestic production, and capital will also integrate the resources of the entire region and uniformly support the Ming Dynasty's allocation.

Not only that, Guo Dan also used this to strengthen his control over the South China Sea region, because these grains all come from the South China Sea region and are obtained through trade, which stimulated the local agricultural market. Yinuo Grain Store is the largest trader in these regions, both the largest buyer and the largest seller.

This led to the fact that although the Ming Dynasty did not produce silver, Yinuo Group controlled the silver price in its hands.

This currency is only used to buy goods. If the currency cannot buy any goods, the currency will be invalid. Then the currency price will naturally be determined by Yinuo Group. Otherwise, Guo Dan could make money unable to buy goods.

In fact, the entire market is controlled by Yinuo Group.

After paying the bill, Guo Dan patted his butt and went back to the capital. What he could meet was that envoys from all walks of life would come to the capital to worship him. He had to rush back to report to Wanli, and Tian Yi was also with him.

Tian Yi was only responsible for supervision and acted as Guo Dan's spokesperson, and now there is nothing to supervise.

When he returned to the capital, Guo Dan was very sensible and handed over the report to Tian Yi. After all, this was a demand for credit, not apology.

Although Tian Yi is a relatively calm eunuch, his mouth is still much more powerful than ordinary people. He is not good at this. He must have exercised regularly and is very flexible. He is really scattered.

But as he spoke, he saw that Wanli had no expression and his speed was getting slower and slower. After that, he simply asked directly: "Your Majesty, isn't the empress wrong? "

Wanli was slightly stunned, pondered for a little while before saying, "I just think that we are a little good to North Korea. We send troops to support him, and we also give the food. As a result, the 500,000 stones belong to them, and the Tsubasa Island was also given to them, and it was clearly the one offered to me by Japan."

Five hundred thousand stones of grain?

As a wealthy person, I feel uncomfortable if I don’t swallow it!

Tian Yi immediately said: "This matter was discussed by Shen Yiguan, but it was decided specifically by Consultant Guo."

The blame is so natural!

Guo Dan glanced at Tian Yi with admiration and said to Wanli: "Your Majesty, North Korea was beaten to a vast area and was penniless. Five hundred thousand stones of grain would probably be difficult to meet its domestic needs. If you don't give this grain to them, they might have to ask us at that time.

This is just a secondary reason. The most important thing is that nowadays, reputation is actually more important for me, Ming Dynasty. We send troops to help North Korea and give all the compensation to North Korea reasonably, which will inevitably make more people choose to rely on us.

The same is true for Tsushima Island. If we occupy Tsushima Island, others will think that our helping North Korea is actually coveting other people's territory, which is not conducive to our Ming Dynasty."

Wanli said depressedly: "Although that said, if the war does not open up and expand its territory, how can I achieve great success or hegemony?"

Guo Tan said: "Your Majesty, Tsuma Island is a little bit big. Our Fengchi Group will encounter an island in the south that is dozens of times larger than there. Moreover, this Tsuma Island gives North Korea, which is beneficial to our Ming Dynasty, and if it is held in our hands, it will be a hot potato."

Wanli asked, "How do you say this?"

Guo Tan said: "Tuma Island is just between Japan and North Korea, and is far away from us. If we occupy it, we will inevitably have conflicts with both of them. According to the judgment of Hushi, Japan will definitely find a way to return to Tsuma Island in the future, because if they want to come out, they will definitely seize Tsuma Island. They may try their best to disrupt Tsuma Island. Therefore, the cost of managing Tsuma Island is very high, and it may even force us to attack Japan directly, but attacking Japan is obviously very unprofitable."

Wanli nodded thoughtfully.

If the management cost is high, then forget it.

Guo Dan said again: "But if Japan still takes over Tsushima Island, it will inevitably not be in our interests. With Tsushima Island, it will be very convenient for Japan to advance eastward or southward. Now that it will give Tsushima Island to North Korea, it will never be possible for North Korea to return Tsushima Island to Japan, because North Korea knows that the only meaning of Japan's Tsushima Island is to fight them. As long as Japan's idea of ​​fighting Tsushima Island, North Korea will definitely defend Tsushima Island resolutely. This will become an unbreakable knot between North Korea and Japan, and they will not be able to join forces in the future."

If North Korea gives Japan alliance, whoever they deal with, it must be the Ming Dynasty, and there is no other country around it. It is worthy of their collaboration. If their relationship is not good or bad, it is most in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

Guo Dan said again: "When facing Japan, North Korea is obviously not an opponent, and it is bound to require our protection, so they took the initiative to ask Jeju Island to provide our fleet supply. The purpose is that North Korea is crucial to our interests in the Northeast. If we can maintain our military presence in North Korea, we can not only curb Japan and prevent the Jurchens. This is why the humble position gives North Korea so many benefits. After this battle, North Korea will not always worry about it being easy to ask God and sending God to God like this time."

Wanli nodded and said, "You have some truth to it, but... but what did I get?"

Guo Tanfeng said lightly: "Oh, all this!"

"All this?"

Wanli blinked.

Guo Tan nodded and said, "Yes, all of this. Why did Japan willing to hand over Tsuma Island at that time? The main force was eager to return to China was only a secondary reason. The main reason was that Japan knew that they could not defend Tsuma Island because their navy had been sent to the bottom of the sea. It can be seen that the islands on the sea surface, as long as your Majesty, you want them, they are all ours. Our ships can stop wherever we want."

Wanli was ecstatic and excited when he heard this, and he winked at Guo Dan.

Guo Dan nodded.

Tian Yi looked at the two of them, are you communicating with lip?

This look pointed at One Piece.

Guo Dan also noticed Tian Yi's suspicious eyes, coughed lightly, and said, "As for your Majesty, you mentioned that you have to expand your territory and have your honorable status, you don't have to fight with those of their rough people, you can buy it directly with money.

Now the Haixi Jurchens have decided to rely on our Ming Dynasty. The Jurchens are no longer in the climate. At the same time, the Royal Horse Farm, Yinuo Grain Store, Fengchi Group, and Yinuo Insurance will all settle in the Haixi Jurchens. At that time, their people will be Your Majesty, your employees, and their workshops will be Your Majesty, and everything in the Haixi Jurchens will naturally be Your Majesty.

At that time, we can also use the Haixi Jurchens and the Tumote tribe in the west to attack on both sides, and directly swallow the entire Mongolian area in the middle. Beizhi refers to "all of this" not only at the sea, but also in the entire continent. Beizhi is already ordering people to draw a map in this regard."

This...it's OK.

A muffled sound came from Tian Yi's throat, thinking to himself, is this possible?

Of course this is possible!

The small peasant economy cannot swallow it because the place cannot farm and cannot occupy it. But what capital needs is manpower and resources. For capital, the grassland is absolutely a resource, and it is the resource that the Central Plains lacks the most. Capital can swallow everything.

Wanli believed in this and blinked at Guo Dan again. Could it be that the chairman of the grassland?

Guo Dan nodded again.

"Hahaha!"

Wanli laughed up a few times, slapped the table and said, "Okay! What a 'all this', hahaha!"
Chapter completed!
